At dawn, before the moon had completely disappeared over the horizon, the palace gate had been opened, and one after another figures marched towards the palace gate, and when they arrived at the main hall, they were lined up in an orderly manner, as if waiting for some kind of summons.

In less than half a pillar of incense, the door of the main hall opened, and a woman in official uniform walked out with a whisk in her hand, and she shouted in her high voice:

"The hour has come, and all the officials will meet you."

Then the figures floated, and the officials began to enter the court in an orderly manner.

At this moment, the empress was sitting in front of the main hall, wearing a crown and a yellow robe, quietly watching the ministers of her highness.

The golden dragon chair and the golden palace complement each other, making the empress even more noble.

"Long live Her Majesty the Empress, long live, long live."

Hundreds of officials bowed together, and the sound was like a bell.

The empress's palm was raised slightly: "Zhongqing is flat."

Then the eunuch woman beside the empress shouted in a shrill voice: "If there is something to meet, there is nothing to retreat."

At this moment, the court meeting can be regarded as the real beginning.

As usual, Prime Minister Liu Daren first talked about the living conditions of the people and the recent trends in other neighboring countries, then the prosecutor Gao Daren reported on the performance of hundreds of officials in the recent past, and finally Li Shangshu reported on the treasury revenue and expenditure in the last month.

After reporting these matters, it is time to deal with other important matters of the court.

In recent years, there has been nothing to do at the border gates, except for a few generals who have been guarding the border all the year round, other generals have participated in the government in the capital.

Of course, General Zheng is also above the court at the moment.

After Li Shangshu finished his report, General Zheng immediately went out to write to the empress: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to sue General Chen Zhenchen."

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, and the ministers were stunned.

No one in this capital knows who doesn't know, General Chen's family has been loyal to the country for generations, and General Chen is upright and righteous. What's more, not long after General Chen married the county lord, General Zheng sued General Chen at this time, isn't there a little jealous?

The empress was also shocked when she heard that General Zheng had sued Chen Zhen, this General Zheng had taken the wrong medicine today, and it had all been sued to General Chen.

General Chen on the side was about to write to Her Majesty the Empress about this year's autumn hunting, but she didn't expect to be preempted by General Zheng, so she had to give up, planning to wait for him to finish talking about herself, however, what she wanted to say was to sue herself.

General Chen's heart is gradually puffing up at this moment, he has never had anything to do with General Zheng on weekdays, why does she have to join her book today.

The Empress looked at General Chen and found that General Chen was calm and did not panic.

So, the empress spoke: "Zheng Aiqing, you said you want to sue General Chen?" So what's going on? ”

At this moment, there was silence in the court, and they were all waiting for General Zheng's statement.

"Back to Her Majesty, Wechen is not innocent of suing General Chen, but a few days ago, General Chen sent people to investigate Wechen's mansion, if Weichen hadn't caught those people who checked my mansion, Wechen wouldn't have dared to slander General Chen out of thin air."

General Zheng's words were sincere and sincere, and there was a lot of discussion in the court.

The empress frowned after hearing General Zheng's statement, and then turned her head to General Chen: "Chen Aiqing, do you have anything to say about this?"

The Empress did not believe that General Chen would do such a thing against the imperial guidelines.

According to the laws of the Tianchen Kingdom, except for the empress, the rest of the people are not allowed to trespass into the residence of the courtiers without the permission of the empress, and they are not allowed to investigate and monitor the important members of the court without permission.

In the eyes of the empress, General Chen attaches the most importance to the law and discipline, otherwise she would not have chosen to marry her son to the county lord.

The empress was waiting for General Chen's rebuttal at the moment.

After a while, General Chen stood up from among the officials, saluted the empress, and said, "Your Majesty, I, Chen Zhen, dare to do things, but what General Zheng said Weichen has not done, it is really slander."

The Empress finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart when she heard General Chen say this, and she believed that General Chen would not do such a thing.

"Your Majesty, what Wei Chen said is true, and the evidence is conclusive." General Zheng retorted.

Then the courtiers began to talk again, not knowing what the truth was.

"General Zheng, I have never had a grudge against you, why do you slander me so much?"

"General Chen, what I said is true, it was you who secretly investigated my mansion first."

"General Zheng, I remind you not to go too far, I really dare to do it, I will never admit what I haven't done."

"I'm afraid that you're just taking care of your false name, don't you dare to be a person."

“……”

……

With a "snap", the empress Long Yan was furious, and the court suddenly quieted down again: "There is a lot of noise above the court, what kind of system."

General Chen and General Zheng also bowed their heads and remained silent at this moment.

At this time, Prime Minister Liu stood up and wrote: "Your Majesty, among the ministers, it is better to put General Chen and General Zheng in prison for the time being, and send Lord Hu of Dali Temple to investigate, and then deal with it after it is investigated."

Li Shangshu wanted to go and exonerate General Zheng at this moment, but all officials knew that General Zheng was recommended by her to Her Majesty the Empress, and if she stood up now, I was afraid that it would cause criticism, and after thinking about it again, Li Shangshu decided not to speak.

Then Master Gao stood up and said: "The prime minister is reasonable, but, in the humble opinion of Wei Chen, I am afraid that putting two important ministers in prison at the same time in one day will cause panic, so it is better to confine the two generals in their respective mansions first."

Seeing that the situation is developing like this, even if she wants to exonerate General Chen, it is not blatant, and at this moment, the solution between the prime minister and the tall man is undoubtedly the best.

The Empress asked, "What do you think?"

Then all the ministers replied in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal."

"Okay, General Chen and General Zheng will be confined in the mansion from now on, and they will not leave the mansion without a summons."

The empress continued: "Hu Aiqing listens to the order, this matter is entrusted to you with full responsibility, and you must find out the cause of the matter within a month."

"Yes, I obey." Master Hu replied.

At this moment, the eunuch behind the empress looked at Her Majesty's face as extremely unsightly, so she shouted again in her shrill voice: "There is something to start, nothing to retreat."

Then there was silence in the court, General Chen was going to write to Her Majesty the Empress about this year's autumn hunting, but after the incident just now, she was very angry in her heart, and she was in no mood to think about anything else, no, to be precise, she was overwhelmed by anger.

The empress saw that no one in the court spoke, so she said "retreat from the court" without any emotion and threw off her sleeves and left.

With years of knowledge of the Empress, the ministers have realized that Her Majesty the Empress is angry, and Long Yan is furious.

At the end of the court, hundreds of officials retreated.

General Chen glanced at General Zheng fiercely and went out of the palace gate angrily, she really couldn't understand when she Chen Zhen searched her General Zheng's mansion, when she was trying her best to spy on the cause of her eldest daughter's death, she General Zheng didn't even have the qualifications to stand in the court, let alone search his mansion.

However, the trouble is, what if Lord Hu finds out that she secretly visited the mansions of other officials in the course of investigating the case? Hasn't she become the target of public criticism?

General Chen thought that she had never made enemies with people, and if Li Shangshu was the first enemy, then she General Chen would be the second.
