Cui Qian got the order and walked to Deng Qing from the corner next to him, and said politely: "General Protector... Please go to the side hall with our family first?"

Deng Qing's expression froze, and subconsciously looked at Deng Guozhong standing in front of him, looking hesitant.

Deng Guozhong also turned his head to look at him at this moment. The grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other, and Deng Qing looked at him for help, as if she hoped that his grandfather would let him stay in the hall for trial. Deng Guozhong shook his head at him helplessly, then ruthlessly stripped his eyes and turned to look at the nine-stairs platform.

Deng Qing lowered her head in disappointment and reluctantly followed Cui Qian away from the Nan Palace.

Emperor Wei paused for a moment, looked at Dou Yuelan and said, "Dou Qing, I have asked Deng Qing to leave here and wait in the side palace as you said. Yiqing see, can the palace trial begin?"

Dou Yuelan quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you can start the trial."

"Since that's the case... I'll leave this Nan Palace to you!" Emperor Wei fell to the couch, leaned sideways, squinting his eyes lazily.

Dou Yuelan raised his lips and bowed, "Yes! Your Majesty, the most impact of many cases that pressed on Deng's grandchildren was the Deng Yuan's private house explosion on the Laba Festival. In order to cover up the crime of corruption, Deng Yuan intervened in the trial process without regard for the serious impact of the case, and even ignored the lives of others and pushed Wang He out to blame the crime... Even though Deng Qing had led his brother into the palace to report this to Your Majesty, I believe that if it weren't for Deng Yuan's investigation of the explosion that day, I might have found the real murderer, and I would not have made such a big noise in the capital. The evidence in this case is conclusive. I hope Your Majesty can handle Deng Yuan impartially, so don't let the people outside the palace feel disappointed."

After hearing this, Deng Guozhong couldn't help but retort: ​​"Your Majesty, isn't it here in the hall today that I came to examine the poisoning case and the accidental death of my son Aling? The old minister doesn't know why Dou Tingwei mentioned this case that has been clearly settled? My grandson Deng Qing has led his brother Deng Yuan to confess his guilt to Your Majesty! Isn't this enough to give justice to the people of the capital?"

Dou Yuelan was about to speak, but Emperor Wei took the lead and said: "This is right. Dou Yuelan, I asked you to confront each other today for Taichangqing's case. It is not too late to talk about the rest after the trial."

"Your Majesty... The situation in the capital is urgent. If the people surround the government, if it is not properly resolved, it may cause a big mess. This is also very unfavorable to the situation on the border... Please make a decision early, write a conviction document first, inform the East City, and reopen the investigation of the bombing that year to comfort the people." Dou Yuelan continued to persuade Emperor Wei.

"I've said it. I'll discuss this later. Do you don't understand Dou Yuelan?" Emperor Wei was obviously a little impatient.

Seeing this, Jing Ting immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Dou Tingwei said is very reasonable. Recently, the people's emotions have become more irritable than the previous two days. The city defense force under my jurisdiction can only barely restrain it. If I don't give an explanation, I'm afraid it won't last long."

"What? If I fail to fulfill your wishes, will you rebel in this southern palace?" Emperor Wei gradually said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I don't have this intention. I just hope that your Majesty will put the overall situation first! If the anger of the people cannot be calmed down, and a chaotic situation will be caused... even if the City Defense Army, the City Commander Army and the Guard Army can join forces to suppress it, I am afraid that the court will lose the people's hearts because of this."

Dou Yuelan and Jing Ting seemed to have discussed in advance, and insisted on letting Emperor Wei solve the huge impact of Wang He's handwritten letter on the capital first.

Deng Guozhong held his breath and became more anxious. Every minute and every second he stood in the lobby was suffering.

Emperor Wei stared at Dou and Jing, and after some thought, he said, "Forget it. As you said, Cui Qian, sent a document, wrote a notice, delivered it to the four cities in the southeast, west and north, and announced to the capital: I want to restart the private explosion in Deng Yuan on the Laba Festival. As for Deng's punishment, we will make a judgment after everything is settled."

Cui Qian hurriedly replied, "Here."

Dou Yuelan still wanted to go further, so he took two steps forward and bowed again. Just as he was about to speak, Emperor Wei shook his hand at him and stopped him, "Enough. My patience is limited. If you still have to keep this matter back, today's palace trial, let's give up."

Everyone was stunned, their expressions dimmed, and they responded in a low voice: "I hope Your Majesty can calm down!"

Dou Yuelan closed his eyebrows, sighed helplessly, stepped back silently, and stood behind Jiang Chengyi. Jing Ting was unwilling to accept it and wanted to argue. Dou Yuelan took action in time, stopped him, and quietly turned to him and shook his head, indicating that he would not continue to disobey the Emperor of Wei.

Jing Ting was so angry that he had no choice but to endure it and retreated.

"Report to Your Majesty, I and Chang Yu, in accordance with your instructions, we conducted a visit and investigation along the suburbs of the capital and the remote suburbs. We have made some new progress in the accidental death of Mr. Deng Ling of Taichang."

Just as the hall was in a state of coldness and silence, Yue Luo, who was standing behind everyone, took a step and reported to the Emperor of Wei.

“What new progress?”

Yue Luobing said in his words: "Following the testimony written by Jiang Zhushi, I went to the suburbs to check and found that every word he said was true. Before the interception of the suburbs of Beijing, Lord Taichang was indeed in the remote suburbs."

Chang Yu immediately followed him and continued, "What General Yue said is true. When I was ordered to investigate the attack of Lingyi Team, I found that the robbers at that time had various connections with Deng's family. Various evidences can indicate that the attack of Lingyi Team was planned by the Deng family. However, the clues were only found at that time. I did not know who was behind the scenes. The important case report to Your Majesty only explained that the village where the Lingyi Team kidnapped and imprisoned the Lingyi Team was under the name of Deng.

It was not until the witnesses led by Jiang Zhushi that I realized that... It turned out that Taichangqing organized an attack on the Lingyi team that day. It was because of this that the generals of the Third Battalion of Changming Army, who were hidden in the remote suburbs, found an opportunity to attack him. I and General Yue Luo went to the palace prison to interrogate Liu Jing, the general of the Third Battalion of Changming Army who was detained. But as Jiang Zhushi said... He was ordered by the command of the General Deng Qing of the Protector, to disguise himself as Zhan Po and attack Taichangqing.

I also found out that Changming Army not only had some interactions with Zhan Po soldiers at the Hongnong border, but had even cooperated as early as outside the suburbs of Beijing."

"General Chang! General Yue! You two are the imperial guards who guard the palace walls at least. Are you so nonsense?" Deng Guozhong snatched the words and defended strongly, "The generals of the three battalions of Changming Army were all recalled by me, and they have nothing to do with my grandson Deng Qing! How could the assassination of my son Aling? What's more, he has accomplices with Zhan Po's soldiers!"

"Taiwei Deng, are you sure that Changmingjun was recalled by you?" Chang Yu asked coldly.

Deng Guozhong decisively said: "I am sure."

"Okay, since the Grand Marshal is so sure. Your Majesty, I ask for an order to summon Liu Jing to come and confront him in the hall." Chang Yu bowed and asked.

Emperor Wei wanted Deng Guozhong and Liu Jing to ask him in person. Chang Yu's words happened to meet his thoughts, so he agreed without hesitation: "It's correct."

Cui Qian looked at the situation in the hall. As soon as Chang Yu finished speaking, he waved to the little eunuch guarding outside, and said a few words in the man's ear, and ordered him to go to the palace prison to escort Liu Jing into the hall.

But in a moment, Liu Jing was tied up by the Imperial Guards and brought to the hall.

The scolding of the two imperial guards rang throughout the corridor. Liu Jing was pushed by them and staggered into the threshold, almost slid down to the ninth level, and was in a panic.

Cui Qian stood on the right side of the platform, staring at Liu Jing from a high place, and whispered: "Who is in the hall?! Haven't you paid homage to Your Majesty yet?!"

Liu Jing was covered with tortured wounds, wearing only a thin autumn coat, kneeling on the ground and trembling. When he heard Cui Qian ask, he suddenly shivered and said in panic: "Sinner... The Sinner General Liu Jing, the Third Battalion of the Criminal Army, paid a visit to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in peace."

"Liu Jing." Emperor Wei whispered between his lips and said lightly: "Raise your head and let me see your face?"

Liu Jing looked up in fear, looked at Emperor Wei in great fear, and sat under the steps and shivered.

"What are you nervous? You can do things like assassinating court ministers and colluding with Zhan Po soldiers. Why are you so panicked when you enter the South Palace?" Emperor Wei stroked his chin and asked in ponder.

Liu Jing was trembling all over. He never thought in his life that he would meet in the imperial city in this way one day. He said tremblingly: "Your Majesty's power... makes the sinners afraid to see him."

"I open my mouth, but I can speak."

Emperor Wei sneered, then said to Chang Yu and Yue Luo: "The person has been brought here. What do you want to ask? Just ask."

Chang Yu and Yue Lao bowed at the same time and said, "I will obey the order."

Liu Jing was dragged by two imperial guards and came to the two of them.

Chang Yu stared at him coldly and asked, "Liu Jing, I will ask you. Who is the one who called you into Beijing without permission?"

Liu Jing's face was blue and white, and she said in a daze: "I report to General Chang that the reason why the criminals returned to the capital was to obey the will of General Deng Qing, the Protector."

Deng Guozhong stood in the hall, heard what he said, and immediately said, "Your Majesty... The old minister privately summoned Changming's army to the capital, and he informed A Qing first. He was extremely unwilling to do so... It was only under the pressure of the old minister that he had to let Liu Jing lead the troops of the third battalion of Changming's army into the capital. Liu Jing's words are indeed in line with the truth."

He urgently wanted to explain the matter. Emperor Wei waved his hand to him and signaled him not to say more. Deng Guozhong held his voice awkwardly and could only wait and continue to listen.
