Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
No matter how absurd Zhu Yu was, he was still the prince left by Emperor Mingzheng to govern the country. The three of them were just his subjects and all they could do was fulfill their duties.
Yu Qizhe stood up, stared at Zhu Yu coldly, and said loudly: "Second Prince, Ji Wudao colluded with Zhou Li to smuggle war horses to the Tatars, and also resold military equipment with the Oirat people. Both of these are serious crimes of treason and rebellion. Do you really want to let Ji Wudao go? Today, Lord Wei of the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Zhongcheng of the Censorate, and our Dali Temple are all here. If the second prince insists on letting Ji Wudao go, do you dare to bear the consequences?"
Zhu Xun had long been instigated by Ji Wudao, and was thinking of ascending the throne by relying on Ji Wudao's military power. If the Feng family didn't help him, Marquis Dingbei Feng Zheng didn't help him, and his mother didn't help him, then he could only fight for the throne by himself.
Now Ji Wudao has finally broken with Shen Tian and no longer helps Xue Rong, but turns to him. His father is also in a coma after taking elixir in Xianyang. It can be said that the time is right, the place is right, and the people are right. As soon as tomorrow morning court is over, he will be the emperor of the world!
"The case has not been tried, and the so-called treason is nothing but nonsense. General Ji is not absconding for fear of punishment. Why are you so aggressive, Yu Qizhe? I said to let him go, so I will let him go. What consequences can't I bear?" Zhu Yu saw that the deputy general had helped Ji Wudao and his party out of the Dali Temple. He threw away the long sword in his hand and sneered, "This world belongs to my Zhu family."
Yu Qizhe looked at Zhang Zhongcheng and said that he had done his best. Zhang Zhongcheng sighed helplessly. He was extremely disappointed with Zhu Yu. If the second prince really succeeded to the throne, he would probably be even worse than Emperor Mingzheng.
"The case of Ji Wudao will be discussed again at the morning court tomorrow," Zhu Yu threatened. "If you dare not attend the court, don't blame me for using my power to bully you and punish you for disobeying the emperor's order!"
After saying this, Zhu Yu flicked his sleeves, turned around, and left with his men.
Zhang Zhongcheng stood up and said, "I have to go to the cabinet. Sir Wei, would you like to come with me?"
Wei Tingzhi nodded and said worriedly, "The Second Prince insisted on ordering all the ministers to come to court to discuss matters. His intentions are still unknown, but I see that Ji Wudao has the Second Prince's protection and seems to be fearless today. I feel very uneasy."
Zhang Zhongcheng said, "Tingzhi is right. I also feel that there might be chaos in the court tomorrow." He looked at Yu Qizhe, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "The emperor has given you the military power of the three camps. You can do extraordinary things when necessary. Yu Shaoqing, you must have a balance in your heart. If you are unsure, you can discuss with Liu Gelao."
Yu Qizhe said: "Zhan Xing understands."
Zhang Zhongcheng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's good that you understand it in your heart. Tingzhi and I will go first."
They all knew that Ji Wudao had brought troops to the capital with ill intentions, but they could not put the matter on the table and make it clear. What could Zhu Yu be plotting by defending Ji Wudao so much? The officials were all shrewd people, and they could guess more or less, but Emperor Mingzheng was not in the capital, and until things got to that point, they, as ministers, could do nothing.
After watching Zhang Zhongcheng and Wei Tingzhi leave, Yu Qizhe pressed his temples with his fingertips, walked out of the Dali Temple, and planned to go to the three camps to make some arrangements and tell Lu Jin some things.
However, a man stopped him outside the Dali Temple. Yu Qizhe recognized that the man was a soldier following Ji Wudao.
"Sir Yu, my general has something to tell you. Has your wife received any letters recently? My general heard that you and your wife have a very close relationship, and he is very envious of you as a young couple." The man spoke in a very low voice, but with a hint of meaning, "We are all colleagues, why are you so aggressive? Even rabbits will bite when they are cornered. You should think carefully and don't regret it later."
Yu Qizhe's face changed, and he grabbed the man's collar, with veins on the back of his hand exposed: "He dares! Tell Ji Wudao that if he dares to touch my wife, I will make him regret coming into this world! Don't think that no one will know where he hides his troops."
Even though he comforted himself that Yu Jiao had so many people protecting her and would be fine, Yu Qizhe still inevitably panicked at this moment.
