The First Tyrant of Daxia

The next day.

Qin Yun woke up in the soft and fragrant arms of Concubine Xiao Shufei, the fragrance was refreshing.

He narrowed his eyes and wanted to torment Concubine Xiao Shufei again.

At this time, Eunuch Xi ran into the Yangxin Palace and shouted outside the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

His voice was extremely panicked, and also had a hint of mystery.

Qin Yun straightened up when he heard the voice!

He felt vaguely uneasy. At this moment, if it wasn't a very serious matter, even if Eunuch Xi had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to disturb him.

He rushed out immediately: "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, this... General Xiao..." Eunuch Xi seemed to be unable to speak.

When Qin Yun heard the word "Xiao Jian", he frowned and said impatiently: "What happened? Tell me quickly?"

Eunuch Xi looked anxious. He got up and whispered something in his ear.

Suddenly, Qin Yun's eyes widened!

Like a bolt of lightning, it struck him and his whole body stiffened!

"Go, immediately ask Tao Yang to lead the troops to seal off the Lotus Garden for me. I will come right away!" Qin Yun said.

Eunuch Xi led his people away in a panic, and he could hardly walk smoothly.

Qin Yun went back to put on his clothes. Concubine Xiao Shu woke up and saw that he looked very unhappy. She asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Qin Yun looked at her, frowned and remained silent.

Finally, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I have official business to attend to. Xiang'er, you can have breakfast by yourself."

When Concubine Xiao Shu saw his expression, she knew something must have happened, but she couldn't ask any more questions. She could only get up immediately and kneel on the ground to help Qin Yun put on his shoes and change his clothes.

Lotus Garden!

It is a corner of the harem and the courtyard of Ma Jieyu, the concubine of the previous emperor.

When Qin Yun arrived here, the courtyard had been blocked by the imperial guards, and no one could get in or out.

Qin Yun walked in with an extremely ugly expression.

When I opened the door, I saw a man and a woman in the room.

The man was Xiao Jian, who was naked without any clothes on, and his armor was scattered on the ground.

Now he was awake, with a look of shame and paleness on his tough face.

On the soft bed was a good-looking woman in her thirties, the late emperor's concubine, Ma Jieyu.

Her palace skirt was torn to pieces on the ground, her hair was disheveled, her hands were tightly clutching the quilt, she was very frightened, and her shoulders, which were accidentally exposed, were bruised.

When she saw Qin Yun coming, her eyes became flustered.

Tears fell from her pretty face, she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please help me. This man broke into the Lotus Garden at night and flirted with me while drunk. I wanted to resist, but he beat me. Woo woo..."

"I am the concubine of the previous emperor. How can I bear such a great humiliation..."

Hearing this, the eunuchs and guards around closed their ears and looked outside, extremely cautious.

Such incidents can be called royal scandals!

Hearing Ma Jieyu's words, Qin Yun's ears were buzzing, and his heart sank to the bottom. This kind of thing has always been a big taboo. Once it happens, there is no other way to go except to kill them all.

Even if Qin Yun wanted to protect Xiao Jian, the royal family and nobles would not tolerate him.

Anger gradually appeared on Qin Yun's face. He had put so much effort into promoting Xiao Jian, but he had encountered such a weird thing.

Gnashing his teeth, he said to Xiao Jian: "Tell me, what's going on?!"

boom!

Xiao Jian put on his pants and knelt in front of Qin Yun.

His eyes were dim, and he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is a capital crime for me. Please grant me death. This matter has nothing to do with the Xiao family and the Concubine Shu. Please..."

"asshole!"

Qin Yun's veins were exposed. He grabbed his neck with one hand and roared, "Grant you a death? Xiao Jian, you bastard, I made you the Marshal of Divine Power, and this is how you repay me?"

Xiao Jian's face was filled with even more shame, and he said nothing.

"boom!"

Seeing his acquiescent expression, Qin Yun became even angrier and kicked him over!

Looking at the mess and the two half-naked people, he roared again.

"Put that bastard Xiao Jian in jail for me!"

"No one is allowed to enter or leave the Lotus Courtyard!"

"All the guards on duty last night, as well as the eunuchs who escorted Xiao Jian out of the palace, should be arrested by me!"

"..."

He arrested all the people involved in the incident with lightning speed in order to prevent the situation from escalating, and preferably to cover up the scandal and give them lenient punishment.

But good things don’t go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

How could these things be hidden from those all-powerful figures in the court?

Before the morning court session, the news that Xiao Jian stayed in the harem at night and committed adultery with the previous emperor's concubines spread out!

Qin Yun was furious about this.

Before going to court, he mentioned Tao Yang and cursed him: "Didn't I ask you to block the news? What the hell are you doing?"

"And what about that bastard Chang Hong? Believe it or not, I will kill all nine generations of your clan!"

Tao Yang was so scared that his legs went limp and he almost cried.

"Your Majesty, it is not my negligence. I have already led people to arrest all the servants of Lotus Courtyard and the patrolling imperial guards. Lord Chang is also dealing with them and has issued an order to keep their mouths shut."

"But... I don't know why the news got out."

Qin Yun's expression changed from rage to gloomy, and he stood there for a long time without saying anything.

He calmed down and found that things were very strange!

Just like the previous two assassinations and rebellions, it seemed like someone was secretly pushing it!

Not to mention that Xiao Jian is loyal and would never do such a ridiculous thing. The spread of the news alone is too outrageous. Anyone who dares to spread the royal scandal will be sentenced to death!

The only possibility is that someone deliberately wanted to make things bigger.

"Go, investigate thoroughly for me and find out who leaked the information!"

"Also, torture those involved yesterday to see if anyone framed Xiao Jian. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? It happened right after we returned to the capital."

"Before I leave the court, I must know the whole story. If you can't do it well, Tao Yang, you and Chang Hong will both be fired!"

Tao Yang shuddered all over, fell to his knees, and nodded repeatedly.

"Humph!"

Qin Yun snorted coldly and left angrily.

Tai Chi Hall.

It was such a big quarrel!

Many imperial censors, remonstrators, and civil servants gathered together to discuss the matter. They were filled with righteous indignation and loudly cursed Xiao Jian, saying that he was a fool who didn't know how to live or die. He was paid by the royal family, yet he dared to do such a thing.

Qin Yun sat on the dragon throne, and things became quieter.

The meeting begins.

Among the ministers, an old man stood up. He had a pale beard and a face that showed he hated evil.

He is Wei Zheng, a veteran of three dynasties and the most loyal minister of Daxia! Three generations of emperors have been scolded by him, but he is still alive and well. The late emperor once said that Wei Zheng is a mirror!

"Your Majesty, today there is a royal scandal circulating in and outside the palace. May I ask Your Majesty if it is true?"

"If it is true, Xiao Jian and Ma Jieyu should be executed immediately to establish the authority of the late emperor."

"On the contrary, the rumormongers should be severely punished and their entire clan should be executed to serve as a warning to others!"

What he said was well-reasoned and powerful, and his important position gave Qin Yun a headache. This old guy was the easiest to be used as a gun!
