The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 8
In the early morning of the next day, as expected, Qi Tian, ​​the inspector censor, participated in Qin Shu's book, accusing him sharply of neglecting the guards of the imperial palace and causing Her Majesty to be assassinated. These were all expected, but to Gu Qingyi's surprise, Almost half of the courtiers agreed.

Wrapped in a thick fox fur and leaning on the dragon chair, Gu Qingyi silently looked at the man in black at the head of the group of officials, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "Qin Shu."

Qin Shu looked up at Her Majesty, who was lazy and casual on the jade steps, walked out of the queue, and knelt down in the middle of the hall: "The minister is here."

"Do you have anything to say about the testimonials of your lovers?"

The general meaning of this sentence in the ears of the ministers is: the evidence of the crime is convincing, what else do you have to defend?
But Qin Shu looked at Her Majesty, with a rare smile on the corner of his mouth, like a light rain of apricot blossoms, gentle yet beautiful: "I have nothing to say."

Qi Tian heard the words and said: "Your Majesty, the Cangmang Palace is in charge of my Dayan Anbu, and there is no room for the slightest mistake in doing things. Now the negligence of the Cangmang Palace has caused damage to Your Majesty's dragon body. It is an unforgivable crime. Please handle it impartially."

Gu Qingyi glanced at her left hand.

If there is no such wound, I'm afraid they still can't find a reason to attack it.

After today, the wound can heal.

Qin Shu said lightly: "Your Majesty is injured, and the ministers are duty-bound. The Cangmang Palace is guilty of dereliction of duty from the lower part of the palace. However, the assassin entered the imperial palace, and the Nine City Military Commander who was in charge of the nine gates of the imperial capital and Habayashi who was in charge of guarding the imperial palace. The army is also guilty of dereliction of duty, Lord Qi is right, please His Majesty deal with it fairly."

Calculated in this way, there are nine hundred and ninety-nine people involved if not one thousand. If you really want to settle accounts, there are not a few courtiers involved.

Gu Qingyi rested her chin, said with a faint smile: "Qi Aiqing thinks, how should this crime of dereliction of duty be dealt with?"

"This……"

Qi Tian hesitated immediately.

The crime of dereliction of duty can be big or small. Judging by Qin Shu's behavior, he clearly wants to drag everyone into trouble, but if he accidentally makes a big mess, the sentence will be severe... There are still many dignitaries in the Nine City Army Masi and the Yubayashi Army. What about the noble son of the family!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and I dare not make decisions on my own."

The left minister came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the shadow guards of the Cangmang Palace are all outstanding in terms of martial arts and other abilities. They shouldn't have let an assassin get close to His Majesty and hurt His Majesty so easily. It's unclear whether there is something hidden in this. If people know about it, I implore Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly."

Qin Shu turned his head to look at him, and his tone was as indifferent as snow: "Master Zuo is implying that this Palace colluded with assassins to kill His Majesty?"

The officials shivered violently.

Regicide!

They are all aware of the growing rumors in the imperial capital, and at this moment when he speaks them out so bluntly, it is tantamount to a thunderbolt.

Zuoxiang said without changing expression: "Your Highness is serious, the truth is just telling the truth."

Another person came out and said: "Your Majesty, rumors that are unfavorable to His Highness spread throughout the capital overnight. This matter must be manipulated by someone behind the scenes. If the rumors are allowed to continue, the three of them will become tigers at that time. I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous. I implore Your Majesty to rule as soon as possible."

He Zhang, the Minister of Taichang Temple, has always acted impartially, so his words did not favor any side, just discussing the matter as it stands.

"He Aiqing's words are reasonable." Finally, there was a person whose IQ was above the mark. Gu Qingyi rested her chin and looked at the courtiers, "What do you think should be done?"

Rong Qian took a step forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I believe that the crime of dereliction of duty should be punished, but if it is said that His Highness colluded with assassins to kill the king, I would never believe it. Rumors only stop with wise men. Your Highness is innocent."
