His crime is clear and undeniable, and no one can defend him.

And you, as his soldiers, are even more culpable.

Killing you all, making an example of you to warn the million soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, would be perfectly justifiable.

But in the end... you are also citizens of the Southern Dynasty, you all have parents and relatives, and you all live on this land of the Southern Dynasty.

Most of you are simply obeying the general's orders; you have no choice but to comply.

Therefore, General Bai's mistake should not be borne by you. I promise that as long as you remain loyal and continue to serve the country, I will not pursue today's error!

Rong Ning's voice, like a sharp sword, pierced the dark night sky, carrying an undeniable firmness and power.

Upon hearing her words, the soldiers exchanged bewildered glances, their faces showing embarrassment and shame.

They knew in their hearts that charges of treason and collusion with the enemy were the most likely to stir people's hearts and cause a great uproar, no matter when or where.

Once accused, it is almost impossible to defend oneself.

Moreover, this charge would be personally presented to the court by Rong Ning, and his father, the emperor, would believe it without a doubt. In that case, the charge would be like an iron nail driven into a wooden board, firmly nailed to them.

However, Rong Ning knew clearly that this reform was not just aimed at the prefect.

Her father, the emperor, now desires to push for reforms to weaken the power of the prefects, and this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

At the same time, this is undoubtedly an unprecedented and enormous challenge for the entire old system.

Although her father and elder brother did not reveal the specific plans to her.

But as soon as news of what she did in the north reaches Nanyang City, the officials in the court who have intricate ties with the prefects will be as restless as ants on a hot pan.

They may be plotting something in the shadows, trying to find a way to weather the coming storm. They are doing everything they can to protect their vested interests, but they cannot stop the march of history.

But Rong Ning believed that these people would be too preoccupied with other matters at that time.

Because once this breach is opened, the Emperor's decrees will sweep in like a raging storm.

Although the storm has not yet officially broken out, its shadow has already loomed over the hearts of those with black hearts.

As the driving force behind this matter, Rong Ning was actually eager to make a big splash.
