"Then tomorrow, what should the minister say in the lobby?" Sima Lingyun continued to ask.

"Ai Qing can say this in the morning court tomorrow, saying that the person who hijacked the army's salary was caught. Unfortunately, the person who hijacked the army's salary has already committed suicide by hitting the wall. In any case, this matter can be regarded as having a result." Queen Mu warned.

Sima Lingyun said.

"Okay, Wei Chen has already made up his mind. The empress will go to bed early, and Wei Chen will leave." With that said, Sima Lingyun said goodbye to Queen Mu and retreated.

On the other hand, Yidao stumbled towards the palace while holding his wound. In order not to be noticed, Yida first looked around, then took advantage of the opportunity when no one was around, stood up and jumped into the large wall of the palace.

Because Li An was worried about Yida's actions, he did not rest, but quietly waited for news about Yida.

"Dong-dong-dong! Dang-dong-dong!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. As soon as Li An heard it, he walked towards the door. As soon as he opened the door, his limp body suddenly fell towards Li An.

"Yidao, what's going on?" Li An asked Yidao when he saw the blood all over his body.

"Your Majesty, we fell into Sima Lingyun's trick. It turns out that they had an ambush. Fortunately, my subordinate ran fast, otherwise he would have died in Sima's house." Yi Dao covered the wound and said in a delicate tone.

"What? What's going on? Please tell me in detail." Seeing Yi Dao acting like this, and hearing about Sima Lingyun's treacherous plan, Li An felt curious and asked Yi Dao in front of him.

"My subordinates came to Sima Lingyun's house and saw a person who looked very similar to Ye Bihuang lying in a room. Since it was night and the lights in the house were dim, the subordinates did not see clearly and mistakenly thought it was Ye Bihuang. But at that time

There were too many guards guarding Ye Bihuang's room, so I didn't act rashly. Instead, I waited for the opportunity. When it got dark, the guards outside Ye Bihuang's room relaxed a little, so I took the opportunity to jump in. After I knew it, I discovered

, It turns out that the so-called Ye Bihuang is pretending to be someone, and officers from the brigade suddenly appeared outside the house, and his subordinates fought to the death to save their lives." Li An put his sword on a chair in the room, and then listened

Holding a knife and telling what happened.

"I didn't expect to be defeated by a small character like Sima Lingyun. In this case, although they devised clever plots, they achieved nothing in the end. I'll see what Sima Lingyun says tomorrow?" Li An stroked his beard and then said to Yi Dao.

.

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough"

Sima Lingyun, but ignored the arrow wound.

"Come here!" Li An shouted to the servant outside the door, who came to inquire.

"Hold on to the knife and heal the wound first." Li An said to the servant who came before him, then said goodbye to the prince with a knife and walked out the door.

After Yi Dao left, Li An thought about Sima Lingyun, and then said to himself: "Sima Lingyun, let's see how I can make you invincible tomorrow."

Early the next morning, in the main hall, hundreds of officials made a pilgrimage.

"If there is something going on, please leave the court!" Above the main hall, the eunuch beside the emperor said to His Highness Baiguanyan.

"My lord, I have something to report!" As he said this, Li An walked out of the crowd of officials, came to the middle of the hall, and reported to the Little Emperor and Queen Mu above the hall.

"Prince Li, what do you want to say?" Queen Mu was surprised when she saw Li An speaking first. Then she calmed down and asked His Highness Prince Li.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, one month ago, Your Majesty sent Master Sima to investigate the case of the robbery of military pay. The deadline was one month to solve the case. Now it is exactly one month. I wonder how Master Sima's investigation is going?" Li An asked first

He pretended to be serving the country and the people coyly, and then asked Sima Lingyun.

"Sima Aiqing, how is the matter that I ordered you to investigate now?" But Li An's question was reasonable, so Queen Mu had no choice but to ask Sima Lingyun to go out and ask Sima Lingyun.

This move of the Queen completely confused Sima Lingyun, because whether she said it or not, there was only one result, and that was death, because if it was revealed that the murderer found was Li An, then Li An would definitely say

Sima Lingyun slandered Zhongliang, and Queen Mu will stand on his side. At that time, it is likely to cause chaos in the court. If he says that he has not found out, it will prove that he has not fulfilled the Queen's decree, and will also be disobeyed military orders.

Exit the Meridian Gate.

But at this time, Sima Lingyun still understood the righteousness well. He could not tell the truth he had found out, so he calmed down and replied to the queen in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have failed to fulfill your high expectations. Although it has been more than a month, the person who robbed the army's salary has not been found. Please punish me." Sima Lingyun looked at the Queen in the main hall and said.

At this time, Queen Mu saw Sima Lingyun's intention. It turned out that he wanted to sacrifice himself to achieve temporary peace for the court.

So Queen Mu closed her eyes slightly, feeling reluctant in her heart, but for the sake of the country and the country, he had no choice, and then said to His Highness Sima Lingyunyan: "In this case, someone, come out, pull out the Meridian Gate, and kill

That's it." After saying that, Queen Mu moved towards the main hall and gently waved her sleeves.

"Empress, no! Lord Sima has worked hard for the imperial court for the past twenty years. Even if he has no merit, he still has hard work. Therefore, I would like to ask the Queen to open the door outside the law and spare Lord Sima's life!" Seeing Queen Mu's next oral order,

Prime Minister Zhang Hong, who was on the side, walked out of the queue, came to the middle of the big spot, and then said to the Queen.

"Queen, I cannot forgive you! The prince has committed the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he is a minister. If this person does not fight, it will be difficult to control the court and serve the people!" Li An saw Zhang Hong's words and retorted.

.

There was a lot of discussion in the court for a while, and the "royalist faction" headed by Zhang Hong and the "anti-imperialist faction" headed by Li An started a heated dialogue.

"Quiet! The queen has something to say!" The queen gestured to the eunuch beside her.

"My dear friends, you have all made great contributions to the foundation of our imperial dynasty! The late emperor has always governed the world with 'benevolence and filial piety'! I am willing to imitate the late emperor! Remembering that Sima Lingyun has made many contributions to the foundation of the imperial court, I will leave it for now.
Chapter completed!
