Looking at Qinglian whose forehead was already bleeding, she asked coldly:
"Qinglian, I want to listen to the truth, do you know what happened today?"
Regardless of her already bleeding forehead, Qinglian slammed her head three more times:
"Your Majesty, Qinglian has no knowledge of what happened today. Since entering the palace, the concubine has long forgotten about Bailian's teaching."
Qinglian was telling the truth. After being pushed down by Zhu Youjian, she really hoped that someone would rescue her.
But later she was completely conquered by Zhu Youjian's means and personality charm, and the White Lotus Sect had been gradually erased from her heart.
"Get up and talk!"
"The concubine is guilty and dare not get up."
Qinglian knelt on the ground motionless, Ah Qing stepped forward to help her up:
"The emperor let you die, you still want to resist the order, right?"
After Ah Qing helped Qinglian up, she wiped the blood off her forehead and turned to look at Zhu Youjian.
Seeing Zhu Youjian nodded, she helped Qinglian sit on a chair.
In fact, Zhu Youjian had already heard the conversation between Qinglian and the Virgin of White Lotus.
He knew Qinglian was innocent, otherwise he wouldn't be so kind to Qinglian.
After Qinglian sat down, Zhu Youjian continued to ask her:
"Qinglian, do you know who are the people here today? What is their purpose?"
Qinglian:
"Your Majesty, it was the Holy Mother of the White Lotus that you killed just now, and the other concubines don't know about it.
However, the concubine knows that the White Lotus Sect still has the Three Saints and Shuangjue, and they are usually active in the south of the Yangtze River.
The main person in charge of the north has long been caught by the emperor.
Now the capital is definitely a forbidden area for the White Lotus Sect. As for why they appear here, the concubines really don't know. "
"Jiangnan? Three sages and two masters?"
Qinglian's words made Zhu Youjian suddenly realize.
The five people on Meishan must be them, unless their martial arts are extremely high and they will have some evil skills.
The core of the White Lotus Sect in the north should be taken away, and the next step is to wipe out the White Lotus Sect throughout the country.
Especially which "father" in their mouth
This person must be found and eradicated, and there must be no hidden dangers left behind.
There are so many masters in the Ming Palace, how could the Holy Mother of the White Lotus enter the palace without a sound.
Of course, this was also Zhu Youjian's careless intention. How could he have imagined that under the blow of his iron fist, there would still be people committing crimes against the wind.
Yuhuatian Qinglong and most other people were sent out by him to carry out missions, which was also one of the reasons.
"Come here, send more people to protect the palace. No one is allowed to enter the palace without my permission. Anyone who disobeys will be punished on the spot."
"obey"
With Zhu Youjian's order, Jinyiwei and Dongxichang immediately sent people to closely protect the palace.
"It is said that Cao Zhengchun and the Minister of the Ministry of War have seen me."
"obey"
The two decrees were passed down, and Zhu Youjian and Ah Qing went directly to the imperial study.
Soon, Sun Chengzong and Cao Zhengchun rushed to the imperial study.
"My humble minister, Sun Chengzong, sees the emperor."
"The humble Cao Zhengchun pays homage to the emperor."
Zhu Youjian waved his hand:
"Exemption."
Sun Chengzong didn't know what happened today, so he immediately asked after Ping:
"Your Majesty, I don't know what order you have for summoning the humble minister?"
Zhu Youjian looked at the old daimyo loyal soul, and couldn't bear to blame him.
"Just now, more than a dozen assassins assassinated me in Meishan, and one person broke into the palace. The security loopholes in your military department are very serious. Didn't you hear any rumors?"
Sun Chengzong was taken aback, and his body trembled a little.
The interior of the Ming Dynasty was just suppressed by the emperor, and the lives of the people began to return to normal.
At this time, someone unexpectedly assassinated the king and killed him. If the emperor had an accident, Daming would be in doom.
Those of them who were summoned by the emperor will all be annihilated with the emperor.
For the first time, Sun Chengzong fell to his knees and kowtowed:
"Who is so presumptuous and dares to attack the emperor? The Ministry of War will definitely investigate strictly. As Minister of the Ministry of War, the old minister is guilty. Please punish the emperor."
Zhu Youjian hurriedly helped Sun Chengzong up:
"Aiqing, don't be so courteous. I'm about to attack Dongyao. If this kind of thing happens again, I will definitely investigate strictly,"
Sun Chengzong hastily echoed:
"Please rest assured, the Emperor, the Ministry of War will definitely cooperate fully."
Zhu Youjian nodded and looked at Cao Zhengchun:
"Cao Zhengchun, did the assassin confess?"
Cao Zhengchun hastily bowed and saluted:
"Reporting to the emperor, this thief has a very hard bone, and he has refused to confess until now, but the emperor can rest assured that Dongchang will definitely have a way to pry his mouth open."
"Well, don't let him die. There must be a mastermind behind this person. When this kind of thing happens at the critical juncture of my Ming's reform, it is very likely that the person behind the scenes is an important person in my Ming Dynasty."
