"Return to the Holy Master! The chief eunuch has sent Aunt Liu to pour out Ye Xiang!" the eunuch said tremblingly.

"Ah! Pour Yexiang! Your Majesty! How can the old minister's daughter pour Yexiang! She never does this..."

"General Liu, don't worry!" Xu Zhaoping glanced at Liu Jiang, and mentioned that Liu Boxi Xu Zhaoping was very troubled. Didn't she already send that woman to the imperial tomb she wanted to go to? She remembered that the woman said to herself Entering the tomb of their Xu family, according to the ancestral system, apart from the royal family members, there is only a very remote wasteland in the tomb for the palace envoys who guard the imperial tombs to commend the palace people for their loyalty to the country.Thinking that she is Liu Jiang's daughter, and I made an exception to let her go to the imperial mausoleum, what else could she do? Besides, the eunuch has a proper way of handling things, how could he leave such a mess for himself?

After thinking for a while, Xu Zhaoping took a few steps towards the eunuch, "What did the great eunuch say?"

"The great eunuch... The great eunuch said... Let's talk about it, it made Aunt Liu think about it..." Thinking of the original words of the great eunuch, the legs of the kneeling eunuch began to tremble.

"Then do you know how far is the difference between facing the wall and thinking about the mistakes and pouring out Yexiang?" Xu Zhaoping's words could not hear the joy or anger, but the eunuch's heart hung up, "Slave, slave, slave is just the savior's eagerness... Your Majesty..."

"Savior?" Xu Zhaoping grasped the word keenly, "Aunt Liu is just an aunt, how can she be called the master?"

"This..." The eunuch's face turned pale, "Slave... Slave... Slave just... just a slip of the tongue..."

"Really?" Xu Zhaoping pretended to be furious, and slapped the table heavily, "A bold slave dares to speak alarmistly in the side hall! Sow discord between the widow and the general!"

"Ah---Your Majesty...the slave is wronged...the slave just took two coins from Aunt Liu!"

"It turns out that your humble life is only worth two pennies! The widow actually raises some good servants who are struggling!" Xu Zhaoping sneered, and Liu Jiang was so shocked that he suddenly remembered his identity. He couldn't be more self-respecting He was a general, and when he saw the king getting angry, he wanted to quit instantly, but thinking of his daughter, Liu Jiang mustered up his courage, "My lord! Don't talk about this slave, let me tell you what crime the old minister's daughter has committed before my lord." It's not too late to punish!"

"Really?" Xu Zhaoping restrained his anger a bit, the eunuch must have made a big mistake for punishing Aunt Liu to face the wall and think about her mistakes, "Let's talk to the widow and General Liu!"

"Yes..." the eunuch looked at the king and then at General Liu, stammering, "Aunt Liu intends to assassinate Concubine Liang..."

"What?" Xu Zhaoping heard the eunuch's words, and the tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground immediately, "What did you say?"

"Return to the Holy One! Aunt Liu... Aunt Liu's intentions..." Seeing the emperor's tea bowl fall to the ground, the eunuch dared not speak.

But Liu Jiang didn't notice that the king's teacup had dropped, and just yelled, "It's just a blind man! How can it compare to the daughter of an old minister! If you stab it, you will be stabbed. You are worthy of being the daughter of an old minister! Hahahaha! Your Majesty, that eunuch actually How dare you embarrass the veteran's daughter because of such a small matter! You must give the veteran's daughter justice!"

While Liu Jiang was talking, the eunuch wanted to interrupt him several times, but Liu Jiang was not affected in any way, and even gave the eunuch a disdainful glance at the end of the conversation, feeling that the eunuch was making a fuss.

Hearing Liu Jiang's 'return justice', Xu Zhaoping held back a breath, and said to Liu Jiang, "General Liu, don't be impatient, I will definitely pay you justice!" Then he turned and walked to the eunuch, "After the assassination Woolen cloth?"

"After the assassination failed, Aunt Liu slapped Concubine Liang..."

"Bastard!" Thinking of the way Qiongshi hid in her arms with a pale face yesterday, Xu Zhaoping was furious.

But Liu Jiang didn't realize that something was wrong. Instead, he thought that the king wanted to avenge his daughter, so he cursed, "Bastard!"

Hearing Liu Jiang scolding the bastard, Xu Zhaoping glanced at him, and ordered the eunuch to pass on the Minister of Punishment, and another eunuch to find the chief eunuch.

When the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice came to the front of the hall, Xu Zhaoping saw Liang Yuming standing beside the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and a burst of guilt hit her heart again.It wasn't long before she told Liang Yu that Qiongshi's life in the palace was okay, but within a few hours, Qiongshi was slapped.

Liang Yuming didn't care about these things, he just greeted Liu Jiang after paying respects to the king.

"I don't know why Liang Taifu came here?" Liu Jiang looked at Liang Yuming a little proudly, so what if his daughter became a concubine, he was slapped by his daughter.

Liang Yuming saw Liu Jiang's smug face and frowned, but he replied neither humble nor overbearing, "Why did Lord Liu come here, and why did Yuming come here!"

Seeing that Liang Taifu and General Liu were about to clash to death, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment immediately interrupted, "Liang Taifu, General Liu will talk about the old days later, and first invite the minister to conclude an important matter with the Holy Majesty."

After saying that, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment saluted Xu Zhaoping, "I don't know why the Holy Majesty summoned the officials here?"

"What is the crime of murdering the royal family?" Xu Zhaoping asked quietly.

"Return to the Holy Majesty, death penalty, punish the nine clans!" Minister of the Ministry of Punishment bowed towards Xu Zhaoping.

Hearing the death penalty from the Minister of Criminal Affairs, Xu Zhaoping glanced at Liu Jiang and continued to ask, "What is the crime of slapping the royal family?"

"Return to the Holy Majesty, death penalty, punish the nine clans!"

"What is the crime of bringing weapons into the palace?"

"Return to the Holy Majesty, death penalty, punish the nine clans!"

The three capital crimes in a row made Liang Yuming and Liu Jiang beside him change their faces.Liang Yuming did not expect Liu Jiang to be so courageous, and Liu Jiang did not expect that he committed such a crime inadvertently.

The hall was full of death, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment glanced at the guards standing outside the hall, and then at the king. Seeing that there was no movement, he lowered his head and stood upright.

Xu Zhaoping ordered the eunuch to serve another cup of tea, held it in his hand, sipped it slowly, and then raised his eyes to scan the faces of the three people present. There was eagerness on Mrs. Liang's face.

Heh, looking at Liu Jiang's shaking legs, Xu Zhaoping shook his head lightly, and was about to make a decision when Liang Yuming suddenly knelt down before Liu Jiang on the ground, "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu was just an unintentional mistake. One side!"

"Unintentional mistake?" Seeing that Liang Yuming was the one who knelt down first, Xu Zhaoping couldn't help being stunned. Before he could speak in the future, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment had already opened his mouth, "Teacher Liang, do you think it was an unintentional mistake that Mr. Liu brought a saber to face the saint, or Master Liu's slapping of the royal family was inadvertent, or..." Zhao Qu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, saw that the king's face remained unchanged, and continued to bow, "Murdering the royal family was an inadvertent mistake? Mr. Liang, you don't know right from wrong, Where do you put the emperor? Where do you put the royal family? For a courtier like you..."

"Master Zhao! Liang really thinks that Master Zhao made an unintentional mistake!" Liang Yuming knelt down and said.

"You----" Zhao Qu never expected Liang Yuming to say such words in front of Xu Zhaoping.I thought that the surname Liang instructed his daughter to abandon the crown prince and climb up to the holy place, but he was still as pedantic as before.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Holy Majesty is thinking of getting rid of Liu Jiang, so why should he stop him and make the Holy Majesty unhappy?

However, Liang Yuming didn't care about these things, and rationalized his thoughts. It was said earlier that General Liu assassinated the royal family, and the royal family of the Qian Kingdom was in decline. In the current dynasty of the emperor, only the emperor and Prince Jing were left. When he entered the palace just now, he met Prince Jing. The Holy Majesty is right in front of him... It stands to reason that General Liu would not assassinate the Holy Majesty, nor would he have the chance to assassinate Prince Jing, so the above can only be nonsense.After thinking through this layer, Liang Yuming immediately said, "Your Majesty, you are the Lord, and you will never let loyal ministers be deceived..."

"You don't need to say too much, Mrs. Liang..." Xu Zhaoping stared into Liang Yuming's eyes and paused every word, "You came with Zhao Qu, no one knows that you must have heard that Qiongshi was slapped by General Liu's daughter in the palace matter! The widow is ready to deal with it seriously, you don't need to say more..."
