Luo Cong felt a chill run down his spine. He feared that the princess might protect her husband and keep Yue Fei out of the fray.
Regardless of the old or new military system of the Song Dynasty, generals in command of troops did not have the authority to deploy troops during peacetime, let alone interfere in local politics.
This is a huge no-no!
Once Yue Fei gets involved, impeachments against him will inevitably flood the court.
It could also leave the emperor with the impression of arrogance and domineering military power, which is a nightmare for all military generals.
The Prime Minister Di was distrusted by the officials in the court and by the emperor. Despite his numerous military achievements and the official position of Privy Councilor, he was still exiled and died in depression.
Luo Cong was not unaware of the implications, but at the moment, only Yue Fei could quickly seize control of the situation.
Once Wang Quan is killed, the real person behind the scenes will definitely never be found.
Zhao Yuanzhu looked at these people with great hostility. In her eyes, these people were the ones who had come in the middle of the night to drag her husband into a pit of fire.
Luo Cong said, "Your Highness, this matter concerns the lives of millions of people in Jinghu Road. I would be honored if Your Highness were to grant this request!"
"If you grant my wish, who will help my husband! You know you're pushing him into a fire pit, you're harming me! If you don't leave, I'll report you to the authorities!"
Luo Cong said, "Your Highness, if the court investigates the matter, I am willing to take full responsibility!"
Yang Hongqing, standing to the side, also said, "This humble official is willing to stake his head on it!"
"Can you afford to guarantee it!" Zhao Yuanzhu was so protective of her husband that she didn't care about anything else. These were their matters; in her heart, Yue Fei was the most important person.
If Yue Fei had been involved, he would have been punished.
Yue Fei said, "Please wait outside for a moment."
Luo Cong and Yang Hongqing exchanged a glance, bowed, and turned to leave.
Yue Fei's gaze softened, and he took Zhao Yuanzhu's hand.
Zhao Yuanzhu said firmly, "Husband, you don't need to talk to me about national righteousness. I am a member of the royal family and I understand all these things. But you are my husband, and I cannot let you jump into a fire pit."
"A true man should know what to do and what not to do." Yue Fei's voice was gentle, yet firm.
Zhao Yuanzhu was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She knew that, given Yue Fei's personality, he would definitely go.
"Why you? Why do you have to do this? Let someone else do it!"
Yue Fei said, "I remember the Emperor telling me that responsibility is more important than talent."
