Chapter 114: Suing Chu Mu for Murder
The next day, before dawn, the sound of soldiers training could be heard outside.
Chen Zhao quickly stood up, took out the court dress that Chu Er had brought for her from the General's Mansion yesterday, and quickly put it on.
She still has to go to court!
For the first time, I felt that being a general was not easy. In addition to fighting for the food and clothing of the soldiers every day, he also had to face the court officials and the old emperor step by step.
When she stepped out of the tent, soldiers immediately saluted her. They were all energetic and enthusiastic.
"I greet the general."
Shen Zhao looked at this scene and his mood instantly improved.
"Brothers, train well. Our lives will get better and better in the future. I will give you everything you deserve."
She suddenly felt motivated when she went to court. She saw that many soldiers were still wearing thin clothes. It was already late autumn and winter would come in a few days. She should fight for cotton clothes for the soldiers to survive the winter.
Shen Zhao rode on Lu Feng and rushed towards the city.
Just as he reached the palace gate and handed Lu Feng to the guards, a voice came from behind him.
"Brother Chu."
It’s Xie Yuheng.
Chen Zhao turned his head and saw Xie Yuheng dismounting from his horse swiftly, throwing the reins in his hand to the guards waiting beside him.
He took two quick steps to catch up with Shen Zhao.
He approached Chen Zhao and said, "Brother Chu, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble when you go to court today." Now that they were all adults who came to attend the morning court, there were some things he could only say to Brother Chu in a low voice.
Shen Zhao was startled. What trouble was there?
Is it about what happened in the military camp yesterday?
Seeing Shen Zhao's puzzled expression, Xie Yuheng whispered, "Was the son of a deputy commander of the Beijing army killed yesterday?"
Chen Zhao nodded. "It's true. How did you know that? Is this the trouble you were talking about, Brother Xie?"
Xie Yuheng lowered his voice: "The daughter of the deputy general was the third prince's concubine, and the man who was killed was the concubine's brother. I also heard about it from my eldest brother. The Liang family went to my eldest brother to complain about you yesterday. Today, at the morning court, the third prince's party will attack you.
But don't be afraid, Brother Chu. I'm here for everything. My eldest brother is here today, and I've already told him that he'll protect you in the court as well. I won't let you fight alone."
Chen Zhao's eyes darkened. She hadn't decided how to get cotton-padded clothes for the Northwest Army today, and this opportunity just came to her door.
"Thank you, little brother, don't worry. They can't come up with anything. It's not my fault. Liang Yi deserves to die. If I were in the camp at the time, I would have killed him myself without anyone else having to. Don't worry, go to the morning court and thank our eldest brother for me."
Xie Yuheng chuckled. He liked to hear what his eldest brother said. Brother Chu really treated him as a brother.
"Brother Chu, you are so polite. Does our eldest brother need to thank us? We are brothers, so it's only natural for us to help each other."
As they were talking, they came to the main hall, and Shen Zhao saw someone who shouldn't be in the morning court.
Lieutenant General Liang, wearing a bandage and missing an ear.
After Lin Song's persuasion yesterday, she decided to spare the life of this pustules.
But he doesn't cherish it.
Shen Zhao's eyes were so cold that Deputy General Liang couldn't help but shiver.
What kind of look was that from General Chu? He looked at him as if he was a dead person.
Woohoo... Don't look at him like that, okay? He was forced to appear here today.
It was all because of that damn woman in the family. When she found out Yi'er was killed, she stabbed her eldest daughter, and the third prince found out.
The third prince issued a death order, asking him to take the opportunity to sue the Chu man and try to bring him down in one fell swoop.
He didn't want to, and he didn't dare, because the man named Chu would kill him.
But he had no chance to resist. The bitch didn't know the reason and didn't know whether to live or die. She carried her to the Dali Temple and sued the man surnamed Chu.
Today, he was picked up at the palace gate early by the Third Prince's men.
This was his first time entering the palace, and also his first time attending the morning court session that he had long dreamed of.
But now he just wants to go back and stay in the barracks.
He looked at General Chu for help. He really didn't want to come. General Chu, please don't misunderstand me.
There was a hint of doubt in Shen Zhao's eyes. Why did she feel that the man surnamed Liang looked at her as if he was about to cry?
And there was a plea for help in his eyes.
Is he asking her for help?
Shen Zhao stopped looking at Deputy General Liang. This pustules didn't look like someone who would dare to sue her.
Could it be that he was forced to come here by the Third Prince?
Lieutenant General Liang was almost crying with anxiety, and he didn't know whether General Chu could understand his intentions.
"The Emperor has arrived."
With the eunuch's loud singing, the hall suddenly became quiet.
All the court officials knelt in unison and saluted, saying, "Your humble servants greet the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
As usual, the old emperor sat on the dragon throne and looked at the courtiers kneeling on the ground.
"My dear ministers, please stand up."
The same opening remarks for eternity, wait for the opening remarks to pass.
Someone immediately stood up, with a look of hatred and vengeance on his face, "Your Majesty, I wish to sue General Chu for allowing the indiscriminate killing of innocent people and neglecting management, which led to a riot in the camp and countless casualties among the soldiers."
This man is the current historian, an old stubborn man in the court.
He did not belong to any prince and was only loyal to the old emperor.
The third prince learned his lesson this time and did not use his own men. Instead, he let the old historian who hated evil to sue him.
If it were someone else, the old emperor would still be suspicious, but he would not have any suspicion at all about what this old historian said.
When he got angry, this old historian would even report to the emperor and point out the old emperor's mistakes.
The old emperor, who had been in a dignified state, suddenly became energetic.
His eyes shot towards Shen Zhao like a pair of sharp swords.
"Is this true, Lord Chu?"
The emperor's pressure did not make Shen Zhao show the slightest fear, but he stood out of the team with his body straight.
"Your Majesty, this incident did occur, but the facts are not as they seem. A riot did occur in the capital's army yesterday evening, and many soldiers were killed. However, I absolutely did not allow anyone to commit this crime, and I deny this crime..."
As soon as Shen Zhao said this, Lao Shi immediately became unhappy.
"General Chu admitted that his negligence in management led to the riot in the camp."
Chen Zhao looked at the old scholar who was fuming with anger and said, "I don't recognize him either."
Lao Shi snorted coldly, "General Chu, you are trying to clear yourself of all responsibility. As the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhong Army, don't you have any responsibility for the riot that broke out in the Jingzhong Army?
"I have heard that General Chu not only failed to severely punish the perpetrators of the incident, but also protected the murderer and threatened the deputy general who had lost a son by cutting off his ears, intimidating him from redressing his son's grievances. Is this true or not?"
Lao Shi accused Shen Zhao very excitedly.
In his eyes, Shen Zhao was an unforgivable villain who relied on his official position to commit all kinds of evil in the army in Beijing and had great power.
"General Chu, don't think that your position as the commander-in-chief of the capital army gives you such immense power that it can cover up your crimes within the camp. I have also brought up the deputy general whose son you intimidated and lost.
As he spoke, Lao Shi looked at Lieutenant General Liang and said, "Don't be afraid, Lieutenant General Liang. Now we are in front of His Majesty. Tell us all your grievances. Don't be afraid that anyone will harm you."
Deputy General Liang stood up tremblingly, looked up at Chen Zhao, and his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
This glance was seen clearly by everyone. Seeing Lieutenant General Liang being so frightened, Old Shi became even angrier towards Shen Zhao.
