Chapter 24

The news that the Empress Dowager was assassinated shocked the government and the public. When murongjie heard the news, he almost fell from the Dragon chair.

How could he not be clear in his heart that where the assassins went to the Empress Dowager was for him.

Fortunately, Qi Mingxuan led the soldiers to drill by and saved the Empress Dowager.

Murongjie and Jia Xinxin visited the Empress Dowager together, but they were blocked at the door.

Lingxi is also healing. The doorkeeper is a little maid with a round face. She is not old enough. She is a little stunned. She says that the Empress Dowager is asleep, and even the emperor and queen are not allowed to enter.

They couldn't force their way. After guarding the gate for an hour, they didn't see the Empress Dowager wake up, so they went back to their bedroom.

"Your Majesty, will those assassins sneak into the palace..." The queen is very afraid. Everyone has heard about the "heroic" performance of the bodyguard. Now she has no sense of security.

Murongjie is also very afraid, personally checked all the doors and windows, lying in bed or can't sleep.

"Fortunately, the Empress Dowager is OK this time..." Murong Jie sighs, otherwise his parents will all die in half a year, and he will be labeled as dissatisfied with their Murong family.

Jia Xinxin held his arm and shivered, "Your Majesty, do you think these bodyguards are really so useless? My concubine heard that when general Qi's men arrived, all the bodyguards were scattered by the assassins, and many of them escaped first. "

Murong Jiebai took a look at Jia Xinxin. Don't you know what happened to the palace guards? Your family's trash nephews are filling it up.

Jia Xinxin's guilty smile, suddenly his eyes turned, "Your Majesty, isn't Qi Mingxuan meritorious in rescuing him this time? It's better to make him the bodyguard commander. With his ability, the assassin should not dare to come in. "

"What a bad idea! What a long hair and a short mind Murongjie did not have the good spirit to stare one eye.

Qi Mingxuan is a great general who has made great achievements in war. Isn't it a curse to appoint him a bodyguard commander?

Murong Jie dares to be so granted, even if Qi Mingxuan agrees, the soldiers of the three armies will not agree.

He hasn't been sitting in the hot chair yet. He doesn't dare to die like this.

"Then who do you want to choose? If these palace bodyguards are like this again, I dare not sleep at night. Can you sleep, your majesty?"

Murong jielue pondered that there was really no better candidate. He was cruel and said, "if you want to seal him, you can only seal him as the commander of the imperial army."

Jia Xinxin was startled. The imperial guards belonged to the emperor and were responsible for protecting the emperor and the palace. The commander of the guard was usually the emperor's confidant.

The current commander of the guard is Jia Xinxin's brother, Jia Xiangrong.

Jia Xiangrong is a dandy, but after all, he is his own brother. How can he just let him go!

"Your Majesty, you have to think twice. Qi Mingxuan has just come back. He's young. You don't know what kind of temperament he is. Isn't it appropriate to hand over the guards to him? "

"What do you say?" Murongjie didn't have a good way, "what did Jia Xiangrong manage the guards and the guard camp like? Don't you count it in your heart? Now that the assassins are coming, you want to keep your brother's seat. Is it true that I am dead and your family is ready to ascend the throne? "

Murongjie became angry and began to say angry words.

Jia Xinxin heard this and knelt down on the ground with pale face, "Your Majesty, I am wronged! You know that our Jia family has been loyal to your majesty for so many years... "

Murong Jie sighed, "forget it, I don't mean that. Get up."

"Now the outside world has a lot of opinions on me. You don't know. If the imperial army can't protect me, maybe one day the assassin will come in. "

"As for Qi Mingxuan..." Murong Jie narrowed his eyes, "let him train the forbidden army first. Anyway, there are many ways to check and balance him in the future. What can he do as a little boy?"

Jia Xinxin tangled in his own safety and the glory of his mother's family, or chose the former.

Anyway, her younger brother was used to being idle. He would be fine if he would reward some money and change his position to be quiet.

In order to get a good sleep, murongjie immediately wrote the imperial edict, and sent people to the prince's residence at the edge of the town to announce the edict.
