"How did the Prime Minister know about Gu's assassination?"

Ye Xin was a little curious.

Last night, Emperor Xin did encounter an assassin attack outside the sub-court building, but the assassin had no cultivation and was just a mortal with a slightly better skill. Before even the guards arrived, he was taken down by Emperor Xin himself.

In addition, the incident happened suddenly, so the matter was not announced. How did Shang Rong and others know about it?

"Return to the king, I learned from General Lei Kai, the general, so I came to visit him."

Shang Rong returned to the courtesy.

As soon as he finished speaking, the generals ranks and a burly figure immediately walked out, knelt on one knee and said, "Master, the last general's guard is in vain and let the assassin sneak into the palace, almost hurting the king. Please punish him!"

Lei Kai's face looked a little ugly. He was on duty last night, responsible for the safety of the palace, but unexpectedly, the assassin was mixed into the palace. When he heard the news, Di Xin had already subdued the assassin and left.

Although he later found out that Di Xin was in good health, he was always dereliction of duty. He was worried that Di Xin would punish him later, so he informed Shang Rong and others about the matter overnight, one to take the opportunity to visit him, and the other to make Shang Rong and others plead for him.

"Get up, this matter has nothing to do with you!"

Ye Xin shook his head and said, "This is originally a matter that Fei Zhong was ordered by Daji to eliminate the situation specially set by Queen Jiang in order to eliminate the situation. The assassin Jiang Huan is Fei Zhong's own family general. If you can find out, there will be a ghost!"

"Thank you, King!"

Lei Kai was happy when he heard this, and he quickly saluted, then quickly stood up and stood back, fearing that Ye Xin would regret it if he was too late.

Ye Xin's eyes turned and suddenly looked at the civil servants, a middle-aged official with white face and a thin figure, "Fei Aiqing?"

"I'm here!"

This middle-aged official was Fei Zhong, the chief counselor. When he heard Ye Xin call him, he hurried out of the queue and bowed his hand and replied.

Ye Xin looked at Fei Zhong, narrowed his eyes and said, "I asked you to investigate the assassin, how are you investigating?"

Fei Zhong was not highly valued by Emperor Xin before, but since the Taishi Wen went to Beihai to calm down, this guy jumped out and slapped him in various ways, quickly winning Emperor Xin's favor.

In addition, after the incense of Nuwa Palace, Emperor Xin became fascinated by Nuwa and was unable to think about it. The old boy joined forces with Youhu and forced the daughter of Suhu of Jizhou to enter Daji. From then on, he was even more respected by Emperor Xin. He was lawless in the palace, and he slandered all kinds of things and came up with bad ideas.

Later, Emperor Xin became foolish and incompetent. If the mastermind was Daji, then the old boy would be the main accomplice.

But Di Xin knew nothing about this fool. After being assassinated last night, he specially asked him to investigate.

"When you say the king, I have already found out who did this matter, but I dare not say it!"

Fei Zhong hesitated and said with a look of his head.

"What's there anything I dare not say? I am here, and I'm afraid that anyone will threaten you? Come quickly!"

Ye Xin knew the cause and effect, and sneered in his heart, but asked calmly on his face.

Fei Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Go back to the king, after being investigated by the minister, he learned that the assassin's surname was Jiang Huan, and he was a family general of Dongbo Marquis Jiang Huanchu. He was... and came to assassin's orders from Empress Jiang in the Central Palace to assassinate Your Majesty!"

"What?!"

"How is this possible!"

The Longde Palace exploded!

All the civil and military officials looked shocked on their faces and looked at Fei Zhong in the center of the hall.

Shang Rong frowned and stared at Fei Zhong tightly, "Doctor Fei, have you confirmed that this matter has been investigated clearly? How could the Empress send someone to assassinate the King?"

Obviously, he didn't believe it!

Fei Zhong is extremely greedy and can only be fooled in the court. However, the king still believes his slander and does so many wrong things.

Shang Rong suspected that this matter would be related to Fei Zhong.

Not only Shang Rong, but many ministers such as Bigan, Huang Feihu, Jizi, etc. were all skeptical and staring at Fei Zhong with bad eyes.

"The old prime minister said it well. The empress is virtuous and kind, and she is well versed in the ways of the empress. How could she do such a traitor!"

"I will never believe this!"

Fei Zhong ignored the questioning of Shang Rong and others. He just lowered his head, and a confident smile appeared on his lips, but he replied solemnly: "I dare not deceive the king. This matter was indeed done by Empress Jiang. The purpose is to assassinate the king, invade the throne, and be king with his father Jiang Huanchu!"

All the officials were even more shocked.

On the throne, Ye Xin had a sneer in his eyes, but he did not say much to Fei Zhong. He looked at the officials: "What do you think?"

At this time, Yang Ren, the senior doctor, walked out and said in a deep voice: "King, Empress Jiang is honest, kind and kind, and has laws in governance. According to my opinion, there are also some controversies and unclear statements. There must be an affair in the palace. It is better to ask Empress Huang of the West Palace to go to Empress Jiang's place to inquire and then decide!"

Fei Zhong sneered in his heart. He had already made full preparations for this matter. As long as Empress Daji says a few words in front of the king, what can you do if you find something wrong?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ye Xin suddenly said, "No need! All the beloved ministers are here today, so I took this opportunity to personally interrogate Gu and see who is so bold that he dared to assassinate Gu King!"

As he said that, he looked outside the hall, "Come on, go and bring the queen and the assassin Jiang Huan, and let them confront each other in front of you!"

"Abide by the order!"

Two guards in front of the hall took the order and left.

However, Fei Zhong, who was standing in the center of the hall, was stunned. This script was wrong!

Why did the king suddenly think about hearing the matter personally? According to past habits, shouldn’t he be fully responsible for the matter?

Fei Zhong opened his mouth, but as soon as he raised his head and faced Ye Xin's calm gaze, he felt a sudden jump in his heart and suddenly he didn't dare to speak.

The other officials in the hall also felt that today's king seemed to be a little different!

For a moment, no one spoke, and time passed slowly in such a tense atmosphere.

Not long after, there were only a few chaotic footsteps outside the hall, and then the message was passed by the Feng Yuguan whispered: "The Empress of the Central Palace is here!"

Everyone looked out of the hall.

Then, under the leadership of two palace guards, a dignified and elegant woman walked in.

The woman was wearing a red crown dress, embroidered with a peony with a flower head, and a phoenix crown. Although she was not as good as Su Daji, she was also a charming gift for the whole country. She was a little older and no longer had the youthful vitality of a young woman, but it added a bit of mature and charming charm!

Seeing this, Ye Xin's heart was thrilled again. What a good guy, Emperor Xin really enjoyed all the blessings of all the people!

"I'll pay homage to the king!"

Empress Jiang Yingying walked to the center of the hall and ignored the other officials. Her beautiful eyes only looked at Ye Xin, her eyes were filled with mist, her mouth was bitten lightly, her face was filled with grievances, and she bowed to Ye Xin.

"The queen is exempt from gifts!"

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Ye Xin took back his mind, looked at Empress Jiang, and said lightly: "Zi Tong is Gu's priest. He has always respected etiquette and law and is familiar with the way of the empress. But now someone accused you of sending someone to assassinate Yu Gu and become king with your father, Dongbo Marquis Jiang Huanchu. I wonder if the empress can make any excuses about this?"
