But Lord Sijiang of the East Prefecture and Your Majesty, you have joined hands with your master and designed to defeat the alien bandits hiding in the capital and flee in a panic... The 30,000 generals I personally led... were useless. So I placed them outside Luoyang... I brought my troops into the capital privately and deliberately concealed it. It was already a deception to the emperor. This is my great crime. I dare not ask for your Majesty's understanding. I plan to confess this to Your Majesty before leaving the capital.

But not long after... I heard that Hongnong was causing another incident. I felt uneasy, afraid that the disaster would implicate Luoyang again, so I sent Changming Army to investigate and assist the Hongnong Prefectural Prefecture to suppress the chaos. I wanted to report to Your Majesty later... Unexpectedly, I found the traces of Zhan Po soldiers in Hongnong again... and sent a team of troops to track them. Only then did I find that the Hongnong Rebellion was also caused by this group of foreign bandits.

Your Majesty, failed to eliminate the Zhanpo army and kept this disaster, which caused such turmoil and uneasy in the capital and even Hongnong... It was the crime of the Eastern Prefecture Department! Please let Your Majesty clearly observe! For the second uncle of the minister and the people of Hongnong, they seek justice."

Before Emperor Wei questioned, Deng Qing took the lead in palleting the Hongnong incident, and described the riots caused by Ji Cheng in Hongnong as the cause of Zhan Po's soldiers, and revealed the fact that he had personally led Changming's army to return to the capital. He pleaded guilty sincerely on the surface, but in fact he tried his best to clear his faults, leaving Emperor Wei with nothing to ask.

Although he made up this reason to cover up his crimes, there was evidence that Beijing and even Hongnong could prove what he said. However, before Emperor Wei made a statement, he still did not dare to relax.

"I have heard of the Hongnong riot. But... Deng Qing, this is not an excuse for you to bring troops into the capital privately. If I don't know the inside story, I would think that your Deng family is going to rebel!" Emperor Wei shouted coldly.

Deng Qing heard the words angrily, but felt that the person on the seat had believed his words and recognized his reason for leading Changming's army into the capital. He kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty! I know my crime! I am willing to be punished by Your Majesty...!"

Emperor Wei: "I ordered you to quickly transfer Changming's army back to the northern border to continue to guard the reinforcements in the capital. Otherwise, if the Huns attacked the Great Wei, I will only ask!"

Deng Qing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and a heart hanging in her heart finally let go. Although Deng Qing didn't know where Emperor Wei got the news of Hongnong inner city, after the conversation just now, Deng Qing had inferred that Emperor Wei did not know that the Hongnong riot was done by Ji Cheng, the left vanguard of Chang Mengjun, and he did not know the truth.

Moreover, the Emperor of Wei had no intention of punishing Deng in his words, which was an excellent result. Changming's army must not continue to stay in the capital. If there is any inappropriateness, the fact that he joined forces with the Zhanpo army to kill Deng Ling may be exposed.

He leaned over, raised his lips gently, and was happy in his heart, but pretended to be regretful and annoyed on the surface, and said sadly: I will obey the order! I will order the Changming army to defend the border and never let the Huns step into the Great Wei!"

The people under the jade stairs were always lying on the ground, with their heads pressed down very low. Emperor Wei could not see his expression, and his emotions fluctuated in his heart, and always felt a little uneasy: "Deng Qing, you'd better do what you say."

Deng Qing nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's instructions!"

Just when Deng Qing thought that he and the entire Deng clan had escaped, Cui Qian's call came from behind: "Your Majesty... The Lord of Sili School Weicheng asked for a meeting outside the palace gate and said that there was something important to submit."

Emperor Wei said strangely: "Chengzhi? What is he going to do at this time?"

Cui Qian replied: "It is said that it is for... the case of the Hongnong bandits causing riots."

Emperor Wei immediately looked at Deng Qing and tentatively said, "I have forgotten that the Hongnong Rebellion should not only be heard by one person. Chengzhi was at least the Sili School Captain, who was in charge of the capital and counties, so he should know better about this matter."

Unexpectedly, Deng Qing, who was kneeling below, couldn't help but tremble, which made Emperor Wei feel suspicious of what he said.

One king and one minister waited in the South Palace for a long time, and the Cheng Zhi arrived late.

This man stood in front of the hall gate and gave a great worship ceremony to the Emperor of Wei, and said humbly and respectfully: "I am the Lord of Chengzhi to pay homage to Your Majesty."

Emperor Wei waved his sleeves and said, "No need to be too polite, please get up."

Cheng Zhi kowtowed and thanked again, stood up, stood in front of the threshold and bowed to the Emperor of Wei, saying, "Your Majesty, I dared to disturb you when Your Majesty met with the Protector General. I am really disrespectful and rude. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

"It's not bad. I and the general of the Protector have finished discussing the important matters. I heard that you are going to report to Hongnong, so that I can listen to the words of others so as not to be too arbitrary." The Emperor of Wei nodded to him and signaled him to continue.

Cheng Zhituo asked: "I heard your majesty's intention. Today, the Protector General entered the palace... and explained this to Your Majesty?"

Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows and whispered: "Not bad."

A sneering sneer appeared on Cheng Zhi's face.

When Emperor Wei saw him raise his mouth, he couldn't help but say strangely: "Chengqing, what are you laughing at?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I am thinking that perhaps the Hongnong case described by General Protector will be completely different from what I know, so I think it is ridiculous. I think that General Protector can make up for his own conciseness and make up his mind with such a strong state of mind, which really makes me admire him."

Emperor Wei didn't know what medicine he had in his gourd, but he felt that these words made him feel strongly discomfort. In addition to silence, he saw Cheng Zhi suddenly kneeling in front of the hall again, holding the pile of files in his hands, lowering his head and saying, "Your Majesty! I have a report to impeach one person according to this!"

When Deng Qing, who had been kneeling in the hall and silently, was suddenly shocked and a feeling of uneasiness rushed to his forehead. He turned his head and looked at the gate of the South Palace. He saw a young man in court uniform standing in front of the threshold of the South Palace, holding a pile of thick volumes of books in his hand.

Emperor Wei frowned slightly, glanced at Deng Guozhong and Deng Qing who were kneeling on the side, and said thoughtfully: "Since there is a report, don't stay outside the hall, enter the hall."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The young man stood up again, stepped into the palace step by step like a rock, and knelt down on Deng Qing's left side.

Deng Qing's eyes were always nailed to him, and a strong discomfort emerged from his chest.

Emperor Wei asked: "Tell me, who do you want to impeach?"

The city aspirations raised the volume, and the voice was loud: "Your Majesty, I have this to report to the General of the Protector!"

Deng Qing's forehead chills, her face looked over in panic, and immediately retorted: "Master Cheng! This is the first time you and I have met today! I dare to ask what I am sorry for you, so I will ask you to participate in this article?"

"This is indeed the first time that the Protector General has met with me. But... does this mean that I cannot impeach you?" Cheng Zhi retorted, his eyes as cold as cold stone: "I can even impeach the Grand Tutor and Taiwei, how can I not participate in you? Since I have done this, there must be some truth."

Deng changed his eroticism and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I ask myself to abide by my duties, and I have never had any mistakes... I wonder why Lord Cheng is so aggressive today! Please make the decision for me!"

Listening to his noisy noise, Emperor Wei was very displeased and said: "Deng Qing, Cheng Zhi hasn't spoken anything yet! What are you so anxious to argue? If there is no tragic thing, it will be fine if it sounds good. If what he said is false, I will never tolerate it."

Deng Qing's shoulders trembled, unable to figure out what the emperor meant, so she spoke silently and knelt aside.

Emperor Wei turned his gaze to Cheng Zhi and signaled him to continue speaking.

Cheng Zhi kowtowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, I want to participate... The border city army defense supervision envoy - the chief escort of Changming Army, Deng Qing, the general of the escort of Changming Army, privately transferred Changming Army into the capital, and made a serious crime to scramble to the city in Hongnong!"

Seeing that he mentioned this, Deng Qing raised his head and looked at the Emperor of Wei quietly. He saw that his expression had not changed at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I already know this. Deng Qing has just explained to me. The fact is not what you think. Cheng Qing, I have not yet cured your dereliction of duty. If you want to participate in Deng Qing's private entry into Beijing based on the Hongnong riot and Changmingjun's private entry into Beijing... it would be fine."

"I dare to ask Your Majesty! What are my dereliction of duty?" Cheng Zhi asked loudly.

Emperor Wei frowned and said coldly: "As the Sili lieutenant, you failed to stop the Zhanpo soldiers who fled to Hongnong in time to disrupt the city defense. You let the group of foreign bandits have been in trouble for nearly three months. Isn't this considered dereliction of duty?"

"Zhan Po soldiers disturbed Hongnong?" Cheng Zhi asked back and couldn't help but sneer: "How did Your Majesty know that the Hongnong riot was caused by Zhan Po soldiers?"

Emperor Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Deng Qing, and said coldly: "Since the Protector General dares to say this, there is his own evidence."

Cheng Zhi had already learned from the prince and Jiang Chengyi that two spies under the Emperor of Wei had stayed in Hongnong temporarily. He saw the chaos in the county with his own eyes and met Changming's army in the city. He was anxious and quickly returned to the capital to inform the Emperor of Wei about this. The two of them left too quickly. Whoever knew about this could infer that the news that the two of them had brought to the capital must be incomplete.

"I have news about this. Cheng Zhi, why should you be aggressive? If this happens, I will not easily spare your dereliction of duty!" Emperor Wei finally chose a team to protect the Deng clan.

However, Cheng Zhi wanted Emperor Wei to recognize the reality and shouted loudly: "In order to protect the general of the Protector, does Your Majesty even ignore the truth?... Then, what happened between Changming Jun and Zhan Po Army in private... Can Your Majesty also turn a deaf ear?"

Emperor Wei stared at him and said with a serious expression: "Chengzhi, do you know what you are talking about? Changming Army colluded with the enemy country, but it is not a trivial matter! How can you speak nonsense?"
