(Congratulations to readers "Flying Dutch Captain" for becoming the leader of this book.√)

The Duwei was considered the highest general of Dai State, but there were not many soldiers under his command, and there were only a few who were willing to follow the chief general to go through fire and water. The Duwei of Dai State Deng Cui led more than 30 soldiers, including more than ten slaves, to successfully enter the palace and suddenly pulled out a hidden sharp blade outside the gate of the residence of the Marquis of Chanjun and charged.

The gatekeepers and the four Yiwei sent by the emperor were shocked. They thought that they could scare away the crazy men like Yin Xiaoyan'er by just standing here and holding their chests up. They never expected that the ones who rushed over would be a group of people, and the person who was still a famous general.

The battle began, and the unprepared side was immediately defeated. The emperor's Yiwei was tall and mighty, but the long halberd in his hand was made of wooden, and there were only four people. He did not dare to stop a group of people who were like wolves and tigers. He quietly gave them to the side, did not participate, nor did he run away, pretending not to see the scene in front of him.

The door was blocked by Deng Cui and others. Mrs. Ping'en Hou was more vigilant. When she heard the noise outside, she immediately ordered the maids to bolt them and find tables, chairs, benches to block the door.

There were still a few noble ladies from the royal family who came to accompany him and didn't leave. They were all so scared that they were so scared that they were all inexplicable when they heard that the visitor was Deng Cui.

Mrs. Ping'enhou was also inexplicably surprised. She and her third sister Cui Zhao traveled all the way to send the son of the champion Hou. Although it was just an excuse, they were also a bit hard work. A few days ago, Deng Cui sent his wife to thank her for her. How could she turn against her?

Deng Cui ordered the door to be smashed, but the news had already spread. Hundreds of elite soldiers from the southern and northern army rushed over, and they took down Deng Cui and others without bloodshed.

The whole farce took less than a quarter of an hour. Although the gate of the courtyard was damaged, it was not broken, but the impact of the matter was very great.

First, Cui Zhao was shocked and frightened, and she really couldn't get up. She burst into tears and lamented her miserable fate.

The second is King Dai. He was hangover and had to get up from the bed and run to apologize to the emperor. Deng Cui was not only the commander of the Dai State, but also his wife and brother-in-law, but also making trouble in the palace. It is really unforgivable. King Dai did not plead for him, but only hoped that his family would not be implicated.

Liu Jie, the chief supervisor of the Central Secretary, finally couldn't stand it. If there were a few more similar things, I was afraid that even the emperor's safety would be lost, so I drove the whole family of King Dai out of the mansion, and the emperor's guards took over the entire mansion, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the guards were no less strict than the palace.

Cui Zhao stayed in the palace, and if something unexpected happened, he could only blame the emperor.

But there was one thing that no one could figure out. Why did Deng Cui turn against him? He even sacrificed his status and future?

The criminal Zhang Jing failed to make a contribution in Luoyang. This time he acted very quickly. The King Dai was still lying on the ground to apologize. He had already interrogated him and found out the general reason and came to report to the emperor.

The fat Dai Wang crawled on the ground, snotting and tearfully sneering Deng Cui's rebelliousness and ruthlessness and his own poor discipline. While apologizing for guilt, he also blamed all his sins on his wife's brother-in-law.

Han Ruzi had been tired of hearing it for a long time. For the sake of his elders, he endured it until now. When he saw Zhang Jing coming in, he immediately waved his hand and asked the eunuchs to help the Dai Wang aside, and then asked, "Zhang Jing, have you asked clearly?"

Zhang Jing took a few steps forward, "Daiguo Chief Deng Cui refused to speak, but his soldiers and slaves confessed. It is said that Deng Cui avenged the champion Hou."

"Hmm?" Several people in the room asked questions at the same time.

Cui Teng was forced to stay by the emperor and was even more furious at this time, "No, my sister is the champion Marquis's wife. Deng Cui shouldn't look for her if she wants to take revenge, she should..."

Cui Teng glanced at King Donghai. It was rumored that the person who poisoned the champion Hou in the capital was the daughter of the Tan family, but this matter was very involved and he didn't even dare to mention it.

The Dai Wang, who was kneeling on the side, raised his head, wiped away a few tears from his face, and said in surprise: "No, Deng Cui was very grateful to the champion Hou's wife. He sent his wife to visit several times and gave him many gifts."

Zhang Jing hung down and said nothing.

Han Ruzi waved his hand and the eunuchs asked King Dai to retreat, leaving only guards and a few people in the room.

Zhang Jing then said: "The King Dai is right. Deng Cui was very grateful to Mrs. Champion, but since his life last night, rumors have spread everywhere. It is said that Mrs. Champion died at the hands of the wife. Some even say that Mrs. Champion's son had been killed long ago, and the baby sent to Dai Kingdom was fake."

Han Ruzi was stunned, "What's the reason?"

"There is such a rumor, no one mentioned the reason. Everyone seems to think that this matter is natural. Some people also say that the Deng family declined and was suppressed by the Cui family. Deng Cui was furious because of this and felt that he was deceived..."

Cui Teng's face turned red with anger, "Who? Tell me, who dares to say so?"

Zhang Jing still lowered his head, "It's just a rumor, the source has not been found yet. There is another saying that Deng Cui had met the champion Hou's wife, so... he was also bewitched."

Cui Teng has never been so angry, "Your Majesty, let me investigate the case. Even if I turn Jincheng to the bottom, I will arrest all the people who are chewing gibberish and prevent the entire Jincheng from shutting up. My surname is not Cui!"

"Do you think the matter is not big enough?" Han Ruzi was also very angry. What was angry was that these powerful families did not prioritize and were in danger. However, they were still thinking about their own honors and disgraces. Even if Deng Cui really had the talent of a general, he would not use it. "Zhang Jing, leave this matter to you, negotiate with the State Administration and deal with it according to the law."

"Abide by the order." Zhang Jing bowed and retreated. The emperor's words "You still think the matter is not big enough" have given him a reassurance and knew what to do.

Cui Teng was dissatisfied and said angrily: "Your Majesty, the matter cannot be over. It is obvious that someone is targeting the Cui family..."

The King of Donghai on the opposite side gave a wink. Cui Teng was not stupid at this time, and immediately reacted, "It is also aimed at Your Majesty! Otherwise, why would he be involved in the death of the Champion Hou?"

"No need to say." Han Ruzi also felt that the rumors came too fiercely, but he didn't want to make a big fuss. "There is a rebellion inside and a Hun outside. The country is in danger, and nothing else is worthy of excessive attention. Cui Teng, I don't allow you to investigate the case privately, let alone seek revenge privately, do you understand?"

"But……"

"If you dare to fight again, no matter what the reason, I will leave you on the border and will not return to Beijing within ten years. If you want to fight, you can fight with the Huns enough."

"Ah...what if someone hit me first?"

"Hold on." Han Ruzi said stiffly. He didn't believe that anyone dared to hit Cui Teng first.

Cui Teng's face turned redder, and Donghai King said, "Cui Teng, why don't you thank Your Majesty?"

"Hmm?" Cui Teng's eyes widened wider.

"You don't know what your temper is? Your Majesty doesn't allow you to investigate the case because you are afraid that you will have a bad thing. If you change someone, your Majesty will not care about it. Let's go and investigate, make trouble, and cause trouble. In the end, you will be caught. The Deng family is not good, and the Cui family is also implicated. Can the officials of the Ministry of Justice find out such a big thing? Just wait honestly."

"Thank you for your grace." Cui Teng said reluctantly, still not angry, but he was really afraid of the emperor and dared not argue.

Liu Jie brought news that the Northern Army vanguard had arrived outside the city and was camping and waiting for His Majesty to review.

This was something Han Ruzi had decided long ago. He was very happy to be able to go out of the city to get along with real soldiers. Jincheng was like a shrinking capital, which made him feel suffocated. If it weren't for too many oppositions, he even wanted to move to the military camp.

The Northern Army had 3,000 vanguards, and the horses were not saddled. They lined up to welcome the emperor. They had just received a heavy reward in the capital and were summoned by the emperor. This was a greater glory, so they shouted "Long Live" and were particularly loud.

Han Ruzi's depression was wiped out.

Cui Teng's depression did not decrease at all. While the emperor discussed military information with the Northern Army generals, he quietly returned to the city.

But he didn't know who to vent his anger. Deng Cui and others were strictly taken care of. He couldn't see anyone at all. He rode a horse around and saw the people gathering on the street chatting, he felt that he was talking about the Cui family.

As it got darker, Cui Teng returned to the palace and couldn't find anyone to vent his anger. He planned to scold his sister: If you don't stay in the capital, why are you going to Jincheng far away? It caused so many rumors.

There were more guards at the door, and they all recognized Cui Teng and did not stop him.

The female family in the royal palace had left, and Mrs. Ping'en was guarding the living room. When she saw Cui Teng, she came out, "Good brother, you are here, I'm looking for you."

"What are you looking for me? What about my sister? I want to talk to her."

Seeing Cui Teng's face was not kind, Mrs. Ping Enhou stopped in front, "The third sister is sleeping. Where do you think of her doing this? My soul is scared away. I'll let her rest early."

Cui Teng's aura disappeared all of a sudden, so he found a chair to sit down, "Someone targeted the Cui family, but the emperor didn't believe it, but I could feel that the Cui family had not collapsed, which would definitely disappoint many people."

"What did Your Majesty say?" Mrs. Ping'en cares about this matter the most.

"It's nothing. Your Majesty asked the officials of the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case and I'm not allowed to interfere."

"What about the third sister? Your Majesty didn't say anything?"

"What can Your Majesty say? Neither of them have ever met."

Mrs. Ping'en frowned slightly, "I can guess who is doing the bad things behind my back."

"Who is it?" Cui Teng stood up and didn't ask how she guessed it.

"Pianoist Zhang Zhuohe and his so-called daughter."

Cui Teng was stunned, "What's the matter with their father and daughter?"

"Hey, I heard that the girl Qin is good at charming skills, and it seems that my good brothers are also attracted to me."

"Don't talk nonsense, she is the pirano master whom His Majesty kisses. Who dares..."

"Yes, who dares? The third sister just wanted to see His Majesty, but she was afraid and was concealed by so many rumors."

Cui Teng still didn't believe it, "Zhang Qinyan is a mute, and Zhang Zhuohe is an old man who doesn't like to talk. How can he manipulate such a big rumor?"

"Maybe they've been helped."

"Master of Luoyang?"

"It is possible that everyone understands that whoever can win the favor of Your Majesty will be invincible in the future. The Luoyang Marquis presents the girl of the piano, which will have a deep meaning."

Cui Teng shook his head, "It's useless. Your Majesty only likes Xiaojun's sister."

"Haha, my good brother, you are still a master in the romantic field. Your Majesty likes Xiaojun's sister, but can you always spoil her?"

Cui Teng thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Luoyang..." He still didn't want to point his anger at Zhang Qinyan.

Mrs. Ping'en Hou didn't care. When she was still in the capital, she and Laojun decided not to tell Cui Teng the truth, but they had to use it when they should. "The Cui family cannot be defeated."

"Of course, you can't defeat."

"It is an advantage that you can stay with Your Majesty. You must try every means to stop the Qin Girl from meeting Her Majesty alone."

"This is not difficult, Your Majesty doesn't want to..."

"Don't take it for granted. The emperor also had a moment of temporary intentions. Don't let the Qin Girl take advantage of the situation. I got the news that Liu Jie was bribed by the Qin Master. You must beware of him doing bad things."

"The Marquis of Luoyang is so ambitious? I should tell His Majesty."

"No, we have no evidence yet. Just make sure that Your Majesty is not charmed by the girl of Qin."

"Okay, I'll listen to my elder sister. I'll deal with the Luoyang Marquis in the future." With a clear enemy, Cui Teng felt much better.

"Good brother, you are the only son of my father. I will help him and treat Master Qin and his daughter as enemies."

"Enemy." Cui Teng said firmly, and when he thought of Zhang Qinyan's moving eyes, he was not so firm. (To be continued.)8
