Jun Jiuling

The carriage drove slowly on the street in the early morning, and the sound of horseshoes echoed.

"I can't say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing." Ning Yunzhao said, "It would be a good thing for the current Cheng Guogong if he can retreat bravely, but I'm afraid that if he retreats step by step, he will drive himself to a dead end."

This is the first sentence he said after meeting.

No politeness, no pleasantries, straight to the point is this sentence.

Miss Jun looked at him from the car window with the curtain raised.

"But if you don't retreat, it's a dead end," she said.

You can't fight head-on with the emperor. I'm afraid the emperor is waiting for him to do the same, so there is more reason to question him.

He knew what she was worried about, and she would not hide anything from him. The conversation between them was so relaxed and casual, no need to say much.

Ning Yunzhao smiled.

"That's right." He said, and leaned slightly closer, "Your Majesty has become more and more calm and resolute recently."

calm.

What a good word to use.

Such a hypocritical emperor is finally going to be calm. The throne is getting more and more stable, and the dissident ministers have been eliminated. He has no scruples and no need to pretend to be kind and kind.

Miss Jun smiled sarcastically.

"But I'm not worried about Cheng Guogong." Ning Yunzhao continued, "Since he has done such a thing, he must have thought about both the good and the bad."

Miss Jun nodded.

Although Cheng Guogong didn't say anything, it seemed that he really wanted to go back to the country to retire and enjoy leisure, but he must also know that now is not really the time to enjoy leisure.

As for his arrangements, everyone has things they don't want to tell others, and it's okay if he doesn't say anything.

"What are the rules of meeting?" Ning Yunzhao said suddenly.

"Listen more and talk less." Miss Jun said with a smile.

Ning Yunzhao also smiled, sat upright and raised his eyes to look forward. He stopped talking all the way to the front of the palace gate and watched Miss Jun get off the car and follow the eunuchs who came to greet him to the harem. official.

The appearance of a woman in front of the palace gate has long attracted attention, and everyone knows Miss Jun, and everyone knows the relationship between Miss Jun and Ning Yunzhao.

"Lord Ning and Miss Jun seem to be doing as usual." Huang Cheng said suddenly.

In the past, Ning Yunzhao and Miss Jun were going to be husband and wife.

Ning Yunzhao smiled.

"That's natural." He said, "You must know that my marriage contract with Miss Jun is from the Jun family's life-saving grace to the Ning family. If the marriage contract is not here, the life-saving grace will never be forgotten."

Anyway, it's all unforgettable, why he didn't just say it casually.

Huang Cheng smiled. In short, as long as you speak for Miss Jun, it is out of selfishness rather than justice.

The emperor did not come late this time. He came to the Hall of Qinzheng with the court officials. The emperor looked more energetic than before, his eyes sparkled, and his usual peaceful and even timid appearance was swept away.

It seems that Cheng Guogong's removal of military power really relieved the emperor's heart disease.

Ning Yunzhao said in his heart, just stood up, and saw Huang Cheng stepping out.

"Your Majesty." He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please punish Zhu Shan for avoiding the war."

Well, sure enough, step by step retreated in exchange for step by step, Ning Yunzhao looked calm with his wat board in his mouth.

"Master Huang, Cheng Guogong has already resigned from his post, and the past crimes are all over." The emperor said gently, "For the sake of his ten years of defense for the country, let's pay for it with merit."

Huang Cheng raised his head.

"Your Majesty is merciful, but it depends on the fault." He said, "Some faults can be offset, while others cannot."

The emperor said oh.

"Like?" he asked.

"Conspiracy." Huang Cheng said.

As soon as this remark came out, even Ning Yunzhao, who had expected it for a long time, was taken aback.

Treason? This crime is really serious.

The emperor's eyes lit up.

"Master Huang." He shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Huang Cheng stepped forward.

"I don't dare to talk nonsense." He said in a steady voice, "Since Cheng Guogong left the Northland, the officers and soldiers are no longer under pressure, and many people have complained about his evil deeds."

"I know this, there have always been many impeachments against Cheng Guogong." The emperor waved his hand and said.

"No, Your Majesty, in the past, the civil servants of Yushitai or the state capital of the Northland were impeached." Huang Cheng said, "But this time, the officers and soldiers of the Northland were the ones who were impeached."

He took a step forward with steady steps.

"The veteran didn't say anything before. First, he didn't believe that Duke Cheng was so arrogant. Second, his majesty rewarded Duke Cheng for his great achievements. So I kept checking secretly. I didn't expect that the more I checked, the more arrogant Cheng became. Almost If you stir up trouble between the two countries, the veteran will no longer dare to hide it."

There were buzzing discussions in the hall.

"Duke Cheng acted arrogantly. I understand this. I can also understand that he arrogantly took credit for suppressing officers and soldiers." The emperor sighed and said, "It's just this treason..."

He shook his head.

"Duke Cheng is a general who the late emperor relied heavily on. He is highly respected. I don't believe such a thing."

Huang Cheng's expression was as steady as his voice.

"I know that what I say is unsubstantiated." He said, "I have physical evidence."

Witnesses?

The emperor sat up straight.

"Pass." He said.

The eunuchs were ordered to call, and all the court officials looked back, and saw two people walking in from outside the hall.

They are tall and tall in the official robes of generals, but like all the officials who entered the palace for the first time, they lowered their heads tremblingly, and knelt down before they got close to the hall.

"Lift up your head," said the Emperor.

The two generals raised their heads, and the officials present all looked surprised, and Ning Yunzhao's complexion also sank.

"I think everyone recognizes it." Huang Cheng said, "These two are the two lieutenants that Duke Cheng relies on most, Wang Chong and Zhang Gui, how many years do you think you have been with Duke Cheng?"

The two generals leaned over.

"The last general has been with Cheng Guogong for twenty-three years." They replied in unison.

No need for Huang Cheng to ask, the officials present also knew that they knew that Cheng Guogong also knew that Cheng Guogong had two relatives who followed him when he had not made a fortune. This time Cheng Guogong came to Beijing because he stayed. These two people are at ease when they are stationed in the Northland.

The testimony of other generals is not credible, but the words of these two are extraordinary.

This is incredible, is there really a conspiracy? Otherwise, who can persuade these two people to sue Cheng Guogong?

Ning Yunzhao glanced at Huang Cheng and shook his head inwardly.

Now is not the time to ask this question, it seems that this time not only want to seize Duke Cheng's military power, but to kill him.

Really cornered.

It was too fast, and I thought I had to slow down for a while. ,

A thought flashed across my mind, and my heart skipped a beat. Miss Jun in the palace... is she okay?

 …

 …

Miss Jun is now in Qiujing Palace.

She didn't know what happened in the court, and she didn't suffer any troubles.

She was stopping and looking around.

It is not far from the Empress Dowager's Palace. The reason why she came here was because the Empress Dowager asked her to see a concubine.

The concubine's illness is not serious, and she has not been made things difficult, but when the concubine's maid sent her off, she suddenly said that something was wrong.

"Miss Jun, go out of the palace by yourself." She said a word, threw her on the way and left.

It's not difficult to go out of the palace by yourself, but it's a bit weird.

Is this court lady being instructed by someone to deliberately make things difficult for her?

What about the intention?

She doesn't know how to walk around in the palace, and then accuses her of framing her and bumping into some nobleman?

If this is the plan, then they will be disappointed.

This is the place where she lived since she was a child. Even if there is no maid to lead the way, she can walk out with her eyes closed.

With thoughts in her mind, she kept walking through the narrow passage and bypassing the palaces. Soon the palace gate could be seen in the distance, as long as she walked out of this narrow passage.

She quickened her pace and approached the Hanging Flower Gate, lifted her foot skillfully, and did not step over it, but landed gently, stepped on a step, and then dropped her foot again.

"Chu Jiuling."

A voice sounded at this moment.

Miss Jun subconsciously responded, and immediately her scalp went numb and she broke out in sweat.

She knew what the intention was!

There were footsteps coming from behind, step by step, accompanied by a man's deep voice.

"You're back."
