Zhu Chongwu has a female name Zhu Wenying, does not like red makeup and loves arms, is good at making Ruyi soft rope gun, marksmanship is superb, the soft rope gun dances like a spirit snake around the body, and like a pear blossom dance, a must for the Beijing Division, known as Ruyi Ying flower gun. Zhu Wenying's martial arts superman, brave and incoherent, not losing the man at all, once in front of the royal competition to take the lead, that year happened to be the year of its and Xuan, Pingwu Emperor Longyan Dayue, strong and heroic, personally gave her a jade pendant palace silk, and gave the marquis Shuwu.

The palace jade pendant is engraved with the words "heroic and brave, the spear Zhenguo", which is the jade pendant in the hands of Emperor Pingwu. is also the one given to Zhu Wenying. Everyone knew about this, so they were shocked to see it, if Zhu Wenying participated in the assassination, she would commit the capital crime of killing the relatives of the courtiers without permission, and the Zhu family could not escape the responsibility.

Some of the courtiers were worried about Zhu Chongwu, and some were secretly happy. Everyone looked different, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

Emperor Pingwu looked at the jade pendant palace silk in his hand, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word. Zhu Chongwu stood under His Royal Highness, panicking. He couldn't believe that his daughter would plot to assassinate Xue Zhongbing, even if the two families had some festivals, he was convinced that Zhu Wenying would not do such a rebellious stupid thing.

Xue Heng stood peacefully, his expression calm, suddenly he coughed lightly, and one person walked out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, the beloved son of the minister attended the birthday banquet of Xue Gong's son the day before yesterday, the female assassin was wearing a mask, and she couldn't see the specific appearance clearly, when the female assassin escaped, everyone saw that she was left behind in the palace, this is true, what Xue Gong said is true!" The minister has brought the testimony of all the people, please read it to your majesty! ”

This person is the Zhongbao of the Shangshu Wang of the Criminal Department, his face is slightly yellow, he has a mustache under his chin, and his demeanor is capable. Emperor Pingwu read the documents, but still did not speak, and the courtiers looked at each other, and no one dared to say more.

Xue Heng continued: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to look at the empty finger, the evidence and testimony are all there, Zhu Gongsu and Weichen disagree, Weichen didn't dare to speculate, but this jade pendant palace is the lord's beloved daughter, how can outsiders easily get it?!" ”

"Enough!" Emperor Pingwu shouted angrily.

"Zhu Aiqing, how do you explain this?!" Emperor Pingwu asked sharply.

Emperor Pingwu ordered the eunuch to hand the palace silk to Zhu Chongwu, and the old emperor didn't want to embarrass him, but the human and material evidence were there, so he had to listen to Zhu Chongwu's explanation first.

Zhu Chongwu took it over and saw that it was the jade pendant palace silk that His Majesty had rewarded his daughter. He said secretly: "I accompanied the Holy Lord on the Western Tour of Hezhou before, and I didn't know anything about the affairs at home, so my daughter shouldn't have caused such a big disaster!" If it is really the daughter who assassinated the children of the courtiers in private, then the Zhu family is in a catastrophe, and the old man will not escape the responsibility! ”

He thought about it again: "Xue Heng's city mansion is quite deep, and he is vicious, maybe he is spreading rumors and framing him!" Although her daughter Zhu Pingri is disgusted with the Xue family's style of acting, she will not be so reckless and kill the son of Zaifu, today I will definitely distinguish between right and wrong! ”

Zhu Chongwu thought about it and calmly responded: "Your Majesty is clear, the minister has no heart, it must be the thief who stole the jade pendant palace silk somewhere, the female assassin failed to capture, no one saw his true face, presumably the thief planted the blame, so that the minister fell into injustice, the minister's death is not a pity, if Your Majesty rashly surrenders the minister, etc., it is at the time of war, it is tantamount to cutting off his arm, and the chief is in the arms, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”

Emperor Pingwu's heart was shocked, and he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly comforted: "I will definitely find out about this matter, and I also hope that the two Aiqing will unite sincerely, put the community first, regardless of past suspicions, and conspire to retreat from the enemy!" ”

Another person walked out of the queue and said: "The minister can prove the innocence of Zhu Gong's family!" ”

This person is Sima Tao, the fourth brother of Emperor Pingwu, King of Xiling. Sima Tao is in his forties and has a burly body. King Xiling said: "The day before yesterday, Zhu Wenying, the daughter of Duke Zhu, visited Weichen's mansion, and played with Weichen's beloved daughter in the mansion, and left my house the next day, the real murderer of Xue Gongzi must be someone else, this matter is very strange, and I hope Your Majesty will find out!" ”

King Xiling's words immediately dispelled Emperor Pingwu's doubts, and concluded that the assassin had someone else, trying to blame the Zhu family. At present, the chieftain is attacking, and it is not a good plan to kill people with a knife, so that Huaxia is caught in internal fighting.

Zhu Chongwu was angry, secretly glad that he had learned Xue Heng's viciousness today, if there was no Xiling King to prove his innocence, I am afraid that this matter would be difficult to explain clearly, even if the saint did not punish him, it would cause suspicion and lose His Majesty's trust.

Xue Heng missed the opportunity to rectify his opponent, was disappointed, and replied: "Since there was a misunderstanding, Weichen will be as His Majesty said, and Zhu Gong will release his previous suspicions, and he should focus on state affairs!" It's just that the dog was stabbed, please Your Majesty uphold justice, find out the culprit, and set the record straight! ”

Emperor Pingwu said with a smile: "Listening to what Aiqing said, I am very relieved, okay, this matter will be verified by the Criminal Department!" Furthermore, how could the palace silk given by me fall into the hands of thieves? This matter must be clearly investigated, Zhu Wenying lost the things given by the emperor, concealed it and did not report it, I can't bear to abolish her title, so I will be fined for one year, take it as a warning! This strategy of retreating from the enemy is what I am most worried about, and I hope you will speak freely! ”

How could Xue Heng miss the opportunity to recommend the Demon Slayer Practitioner, so that the palace could talk about the Demon Slayer Practitioner's miraculous skills, and suggested that Emperor Pingwu choose a good day and an auspicious day to meet with the civil and military officials to inspect the mage's skills, and if it is available, he will quickly form a blue wolf army and rush to the aid of Hezhou. Xue Heng also used old age and decay as an excuse to pretend that he was ready to retire to the countryside after pacifying the enemy and spend his old age in peace. Emperor Pingwu failed to agree, only remembering that he did not have the heart to covet power, dispelled his suspicions about Xue Zhongbing's private dealings with the crown prince, and since then he has trusted Xue Heng even more.

Zhu Chongwu and other courtiers believed that the mage's origin was unknown, and it was appropriate to investigate it in detail, and not to rely on it rashly. If on the day of the investigation, the ability of the Demon Slayer Walker is frustrated, and its Blue Wolf Army can be used in actual combat, it is not too late to activate the Demon Slayer Walker.

The courtiers had different opinions and debates, and finally the court decided to inspect the mage's divine skills and the combat power of the blue wolf army in the Snapdragon Garden ten days later.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Fang Ping discussed whether the palace examination could be postponed this year, and Emperor Pingwu believed that the more critical the time, the more it was impossible to relax the selection of talents, and the palace examination was held as scheduled. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Shi Xiude Qiqi Changqing and Fengying provinces at the junction of the landslide and the ground, the Ministry of Shangshu Ding Yi Qiqi last night Jingshi inexplicably died a number of young men. Emperor Pingwu thought that it was just a natural disaster and epidemic, so he ordered the two Shangshu officials to inspect and report, and then announced their retirement from the court, and the hundred officials dispersed.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Emperor Pingwu left Zhu Chongwu and several other cronies behind, and after secret discussions in the inner court, it was decided to follow Zhu Chongwu's suggestion to select elite soldiers and fierce generals, and take advantage of Youyi to surprise the chieftain Xijing, echoing with the army that rushed to aid Hezhou, in order to relieve the siege of Hezhou.

The palace exam was approaching, Li Yuebai's homework review was coming to an end, and under the lonely light of the night, he closed the scroll, yawned, and remembered the scene of meeting Zhuang Yidie in his dream, and his voice and smile seemed to be in front of him. Zhuang Yidie's words of encouragement and persuasion, in retrospect, make people feel open-minded and detached, no matter what Yu Hua's body, the great task of suppressing violence and eliminating demons, it seems too ethereal at the moment.

Li Yuebai only thought about being at ease with Chen Bingqian, living the life of a fairy couple together, and didn't want to have many twists and turns, so she couldn't help but be irritable in her heart, and even had the idea of abandoning the sword. But as soon as he remembered Shi Sanniang's tragic situation before his death, and remembered that the Master Qingxu had warned him that the Xuangan Aegis was related to the blessings and misfortunes of the people in the world, he put away this thought and only waited for the next day to make a decision.
