Yao Kang took out the military token from his arms and stared at it without saying a word.
Yes, my father handed over the Northern Frontier to him because he trusted him.
He stroked the military token in his hand, looked at the sincere smiles and worried expressions of the soldiers, and the originally firm thoughts in his heart began to waver.
"Young General, someone is coming from the capital."
A guard in armor ran in.
Yao Kang frowned, asked them to come in, and told the gathered soldiers to go down and rest first.
Logically speaking, my father should have arrived in the capital. Could it be that something happened to him if someone came from the capital?
Thinking of this, Yao Kang could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked outside.
The person who came from the capital was none other than Qingfeng.
After inviting the man into the house, Yao Kang poured him some tea and asked impatiently.
"I don't know why the capital sent someone here."
Yao Kang didn't know Qingfeng's identity, but since he was sent by the emperor, he must be valued by the emperor, so he addressed him as "Sir".
"Little General, take a look at this."
Qingfeng took out a letter and handed it to Yao Kang.
The emperor sent him to the northern border to stop Yao Kang from doing anything stupid. When he came here just now, he listened for a while and was not discovered.
He will convey the words of the soldiers in the northern border to the emperor verbatim.
Yao Kang glanced at Qingfeng and raised his hand to take the envelope.
The envelope was blank and Yao Kang couldn't tell who the letter was from.
He tore open the envelope, took out the letter inside and opened it. The words that caught his eyes made Yao Kang's hands tremble a little.
Although the handwriting on the letter was a little crooked, he could still tell at a glance that it was his sister's handwriting.
He was the one who taught his sister her handwriting, so he was very familiar with it.
"This is Xuan'er's handwriting," Yao Kang said, his voice choking. He didn't even have time to carefully examine the contents. "Sir, why do you have Xuan'er's letter?"
The ink on it looked like it was written recently. Could it be that Xuan'er was still alive? Then why didn't the Prince of Yueqing mention it?
"The young general will naturally understand what is going on after reading the contents of the letter."
After reading the letter, Yao Kang angrily crumpled it into a ball and slammed the table heavily to vent his anger.
This bastard Prince Yueqing treated his sister like this and still wanted to use him. Fortunately, he was persuaded, otherwise his family would be so disappointed in him.
He thought everything was too simple. He didn't even ask for the opinions of his family and soldiers, nor did he think about the consequences of failure on them.
"The Emperor will arrange for people to come to the Northern Frontier, and then the soldiers and the young general will be able to return to the capital."
Qingfeng finished his tea and stood up. "Prince Yueqing is now imprisoned in the Dali Temple. General, just wait for good news."
…
An inn in the capital.
"Master, Ayu was captured by the Third Prince."
The man in black slowly put down his tea, looked at his subordinate, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I believe he won't betray us."
The people around him are all death warriors. If they catch someone, they will bite the poison in their mouths and commit suicide. There is no need to worry about them revealing anything.
"But……"
"But what?" The man in black said in a cold voice, "Because he is your brother, you want to save him? You are a smart man, you should know what it means to put the overall situation first."
The subordinate lowered his head and said, "I dare not."
The man in black's expression softened a little and asked him to stand up.
"Is there still no movement outside?"
Prince Yueqing entered the Dali Temple, but there was still no movement from Yao Kang's side. It was really unusually quiet.
The subordinate shook his head and said, "I haven't heard how the emperor dealt with Prince Yueqing."
"Deal with him?" The man in black sneered, perhaps Prince Yueqing would not be so easy to deal with.
…
It was the second day that Prince Yueqing was imprisoned in the Dali Temple.
There were more and more memorials on the emperor's desk. He looked at the memorials on the desk and ordered Eunuch Cao to call all the memorials to the imperial study.
The ministers who were summoned came to the imperial study trembling with fear, and looking at the emperor sitting at the top, they probably guessed the emperor's intention in calling them.
[The tyrant felt that scolding people in memorials was not enough, so he called people in to scold them in person?]
These ministers are truly awful. They boast so much in their memorials, but then become timid in front of the tyrant.
emperor:"……"
He didn't want to write and waste ink, and the letter was too small to contain enough words for him to curse.
"Why are you all mute?"
The emperor glanced at the people below and picked up a memorial at random.
"Prince Yueqing is a noble prince and your Majesty's brother. We cannot imprison him in the Dali Temple so hastily."
The emperor snorted coldly after finishing his reading, "Those who know you will regard you as my subject, while those who don't will think you are the dog of Prince Yueqing. If I don't lock him up, I will wait for him to rebel and then lock you all up."
After saying that, he threw the memorial in his hand to the ground, picked up another one and began to read. After reading it, he scolded the minister who wrote the memorial.
The atmosphere in the imperial study became increasingly quiet, with only the emperor's scolding and the ministers' breathing being heard.
"Your Majesty, General Yao has been brought here."
The ministers looked towards the door, then quickly looked away.
General Yao is not someone who is easy to deal with either. The Emperor is not satisfied with just scolding him, so he has to drag General Yao into scolding them too?
"Your Majesty," General Yao stepped forward and knelt respectfully to salute.
"Get up," the emperor took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued, "I am discussing the matter of Prince Yueqing with the ministers. It concerns General Yao, and it would be inappropriate for you to be absent."
[You are tired of scolding, so find someone else to continue scolding.]
[Are you guys still discussing this? It's obvious that you're the one who's unilaterally crushing them.]
The ministers also felt wronged. The emperor didn't even give them a chance to speak. What kind of discussion was this?
"Your Majesty, we simply feel that Prince Yueqing is so kind to the princess, so we feel it is inappropriate to lock him up before we have thoroughly investigated the matter."
"Be good to the princess?" General Yao turned and glared at the person who spoke. "My daughter has been tortured to such an extent. If you want the Prince of Yueqing to treat your daughter the same way, then send your daughter over."
General Yao was born strong and robust, but at this moment he had a fierce look on his face, and the murderous aura in his body was not restrained at all, so the person who spoke had to bite the bullet.
"General Yao, I know you feel bad, but there has to be evidence, right? This is also the law of our country."
General Yao sneered, "Isn't it enough that my daughter has been tortured like that? Your Excellency is so familiar with our laws. Shouldn't you also know that the emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people if he breaks the law?"
He spoke as he approached the man.
"You said it's inappropriate to lock someone up without asking questions. Do you think you would tell your wife the truth when you go to a brothel? Or would you go around shouting that you killed someone if you killed them?"
General Yao's mouth is a real mismatch for a general. Every word he says hits the nail on the head. These civilian officials are no match for him.
The person who spoke blushed, "General Yao, you are sophistry."
General Yao stopped arguing with him and turned to the Emperor, saying, "I beg Your Majesty to intervene on my daughter's behalf and punish Prince Yueqing for his crimes. I hope you will seek justice for me."
