Hearing Eunuch Li yelling, the Empress Dowager frowned slightly and said, "What happened? What's so chaotic?"

Eunuch Li, who had just fallen to the ground, immediately got up. He took out a copy of the Daming Daily, which was just published this morning and handed it to the Empress Dowager: "The big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, the Queen Mother. Jiang Xia actually instructed someone to pour sewage on you in the Daming Daily."

The Empress Dowager suddenly changed her face. She took the Daming Daily from Eunuch Li’s hand and saw that the front page had a title written: “The loving couple turned against each other, and the wife cruelly killed her husband—to reveal the truth about Emperor Xiaozong’s death.”

The Queen Mother pinched the newspaper in her hand and her whole body trembled slightly.

The Empress Dowager did not expect that, she never expected that Jiang Xia would use such a ruthless move to remove the firewood from the cauldron. At this moment, the Empress Dowager only felt as if she was a person walking on the street without clothes and was discovered. Humiliation, anger, fear, and all kinds of feelings came.

Liu Jin took the courage to pull out the Daming Daily from the empress dowager and looked at it. He only read one title. Liu Jin was furious. He looked at the Empress Dowager who was already in deep thought and asked, "Empress Dowager, why don't his subordinates take people to search the Daming Daily of the Imperial Entertainment Department immediately?"

The empress dowager looked at Liu Jin and said, "The troops were divided into two groups. Let the Daming Daily be searched immediately. The other group must arrest Jiang Xia, so that all civil and military officials cannot see him."

"Yes!" Liu Jin responded and immediately withdrew. At the same time, the Empress Dowager looked up and said to Eunuch Li, "Hurry! Go and tell Xue Ruqin and Hai Dayou to come to see Ai's family, hurry!"

The conversation was divided into two parts. Since the empress dowager had already obtained the newspaper of the Daming Daily, then all civil and military officials and the people of the capital naturally also obtained the Daming Daily this morning.

This time the entire capital was in trouble. This is probably the biggest news since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, the problems of the royal family were all handled in a low-key manner based on the principle of "family scandals should not be made public". For example, a certain imperial concubine was executed for an affair with someone, and the claim that the imperial concubine was infected with a severe illness and died of death. This time, Jiang Xia was forced to do nothing. Zhu Houzhao was not there, and the empress dowager and Liu Jin repeatedly forced each other.

If Huang Feiyue hadn't suddenly stood on his side, Jiang Xia might have died long ago.

The last straw that overwhelmed Jiang Xia and forced Jiang Xia to use such a ruthless move was the sudden appearance of Yang Tinghe yesterday. He and Liu Jin did not act very well in this incident, and it was understandable that Yang Tinghe would stop him from receiving the news.

But by chance, Yang Ting and he did not appear sooner or later, but when he was about to turn the tables and arrest the Empress Dowager and Liu Jin, he brought the Minister of War and several ministers from the cabinet to shock him. Yang Tinghe was loyal or traitorous, so Jiang Xia couldn't see clearly, so Jiang Xia felt that he could not wait any longer.

If you wait any longer, what you will face is the more crazy attacks of the Queen Mother and Liu Jin, as well as the strong intervention of some forces in the court.

The key is Liu Jin's words. He said that if Jiang Xia let the emperor know about this, he would let the emperor not come back to the capital. This also made Jiang Xia worry. After the rush to jump over the wall, maybe Liu Jin and the others would be unfavorable to the second child.

In short, no matter what, Jiang Xia has already exposed the matter. The next situation is no longer something that Jiang Xia can control. He can only be careful and then follow the trend according to the changes in the situation.

In the capital today, people at all levels have formed two factions. One faction believes that Jiang Xia must be slandering the empress dowager, and the specific reason is unclear. The other faction thinks that Jiang Xia has let the Ming Daily release such a major news, so it must be that there is iron evidence in his hand. Otherwise, such a targetless person would not mean that he is seeking death.

When the emperor was not here, the civil and military officials in the court naturally followed the leaders of several ministers in the cabinet and the ministers of the six ministries.

In the cabinet's political affairs office, several cabinet ministers, six ministers and ministers gathered together. They sat together, and almost everyone held a copy of today's "Da Ming Daily" in their hands.

Everyone looked at Yang Tinghe, wanting to see what Yang Tinghe thinks about this matter.

Yang Tinghe picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea. After putting down the teacup, he said: "I believe that my colleagues have read the "Da Ming Daily" today. I wonder what you think about this matter?"

"It's incredible and incredible." The Minister of Justice sighed.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Cui Zhengyi also said: "It is indeed incredible, but I think Jiang Xia is not a targetless person. He is probably not a basis for using Daming Daily to say this. Otherwise, there would be only one explanation, and he would be crazy."

Cui Zhengyi's words were also recognized by many people, and several ministers nodded together. Liang Chu said: "The most important thing today is not to discuss what you think about this matter, but the most important thing today is probably how to deal with this matter.

There are many discussions in the capital now, some believe it and some don’t believe it. If this continues, things will only get bigger and bigger. After that, no matter whether it is true or false, it will damage the royal family’s face. So the best way at the moment is to immediately find Jiang Xia to figure out the truth or falsehood of this matter, and then discuss how to deal with it.”

Liang Chu's words undoubtedly pointed out the most urgent thing to do at present, and the ministers nodded one after another.

Yang Tinghe also nodded and said, "What Shuhou said is very true, but I am saying more. Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, it is all about the royal face and involves the empress dowager. If it is false, it would be easy to arrest Jiang Xia and ask for guilt. But if it is true, how can we, as a minister, deal with the empress dowager? Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to calm down this matter and minimize the impact of this matter."

When Liang Chu heard this, his brows frowned slightly.

If you just catch Jiang Xia, you really calm down and cover up this matter. Isn’t this clearly a favorable support to the Queen Mother?

Liang Chu said: "This matter is of great importance. As a minister, we cannot handle it by ourselves, but we cannot sit idly by. In my opinion, the most important thing at the moment is to notify the emperor of this matter first and let the emperor return to Beijing to handle it."

After hearing this, the ministers nodded. The most important thing at the moment was to notify the emperor. Yang Tinghe nodded and replied, "Then the matter will be written by Shuhou to the Xuanfu to hand it over to the emperor."

Shuhou was Liang Chu's name. Liang Chu nodded after hearing this and replied. He did not forget that his grandson was still in the Imperial Entertainment Department. If Jiang Xia really suffered, his grandson would probably not be able to escape, so Liang Chu would do his best to help Jiang Xia.

Immediately afterwards, a group of ministers discussed strategies to deal with the current situation. At this moment, a small official from the cabinet walked into the political consultation room to report to Yang Tinghe: "Sir, someone outside claims to be a dragon detective of the royal family, and came to ask to meet him."

"Please!" Yang Tinghe nodded.

"yes!"

After a while, a middle-aged man walked into the political consultation room. The middle-aged man clasped his fists at the ministers and said, "See all the great masters, I'm here to visit Geng Zhongqiu, and come to discuss with you on the order of my master. It is related to the matter disclosed in the Daming Daily today. My master has iron evidence in his hands to prove the authenticity, but because it is of great importance, it is necessary to convene officials of the fifth rank and above of civil and military dynasty to wait in the Hall of Supreme Harmony tomorrow. My master will come to announce the evidence in person."

After hearing this, the ministers in the political consultation room looked at each other, and Yang Tinghe nodded and responded: "Go back and tell Lord Jiang, which means that during the morning court in the past, civil and military officials will wait for him to appear in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I hope your master will arrive on time."

"Yes." Geng Zhongqiu responded and stepped back.

After knowing that Jiang Xia would release the evidence tomorrow, Yang Ting and others did not continue to discuss it. Everything was waiting for the evidence tomorrow before discussing it.

On the other hand, Liu Jin was originally planning to lead his men to split into two groups as the Queen Mother told him, searching the Daming Daily and arresting Jiang Xia.

However, before leaving the Dongchang just now, the people from Shouning Palace rushed to inform Liu Jin to come and meet the Empress Dowager immediately.

Liu Jin knew that something had changed a lot, so he hurriedly entered the palace.

Walking into the Shouning Palace, Liu Jin saw Hai Dayou and Xue Ruqin, and also saw two middle-aged men.

The two middle-aged men, Liu Jin, also recognized that Liu Jin did not dare to be arrogant, and immediately knelt on one knee and saluted to the two middle-aged men: "Sister Liu Jin, please see Duke Caichang and Marquis Jianchang."

Two middle-aged men laughed, and one of them walked over and helped Liu Jin up and said, "Eunuch Liu is so polite. Everyone is their own people. There is no need to do it after such a false polite manner."

The one who helped Liu Jin was Zhang Heling, and the other one sitting was Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang.

The Empress Dowager said to Liu Jin: "Liu Jin, you are here just in time. Now Heling and Yanling have arrived. This time, we must solve the problem no matter what."

"Tomorrow, according to the usual morning court rules, Jiang Xia will announce the evidence of the Ai family poisoning the late emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. If he really did this, the Ai family would be not far from death. Therefore, he must not be able to do this. This time He Ling and Yanling brought a lot of people here. Tonight, you will go to surround Huang Feiyue, Jiang Xia's residence in Xiaoyao Villa, and the yamen of Long Tan of the royal family. In addition, you will guard all the entrances of the palace, and be sure not to let them enter the palace and meet the civil and military officials."

"Yes! I will make arrangements immediately." Liu Jin said.

The Empress Dowager looked at Hai Dayou and Xue Ruqin, and the Empress Dowager said, "Ruqin takes people to help Liu Jin, and Hai Dayou stays."

Hai Dayou's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Xue Ruqin followed Liu Jin and left, leaving only Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling in the Empress Dowager's room.

The Empress Dowager Youyou said, "Liu Jin said that he had already besieged Jiang Xia the night before, but Jiang Xia was eventually rescued by a master. There may not be many people who can save Jiang Xia under the men of so many people."
