Later, urgent reports came in succession from the border, forcing them to put the issue of sending troops on the agenda.
The emperor gave full responsibility for this matter to Regent Han Cheng.
Han Cheng took the marching map drawn by the Ministry of War, but kept the real map and handed a fake map to the reinforcement general, which delayed military operations and made rescue impossible.
Lanyue Pass was breached by the people of Mobei. Xie Zhongming, the Duke of Zhenguo, led the Xie family army in a fierce battle and died. In the end, the entire army was wiped out.
Later, the official who drew the march map mysteriously disappeared.
Yan Suizhi pretended to join Huang Yanjing and gained his trust, rising through the ranks. After gaining power, he secretly investigated the truth, but was hunted down several times and nearly lost his life several times.
However, he finally got the key evidence and risked his life to sneak into the Military Affairs Office to copy it.
Thus, the truth was found out.
Why did Huang Yanjing single-handedly block the dispatch of reinforcements to Blue Moon Pass? What was his purpose?
Especially Han Cheng, as the regent and a pillar of the court, how audacious was he to steal and replace the march map? What was his motive? Was it simply jealousy of someone with talent?
It seems a bit unreasonable.
These are still mysteries.
Xie Wanyun's whole body was cold and his head was dizzy.
The feeling of powerlessness was like a mountain, weighing her down and making it hard for her to breathe.
She looked up at Yan Suizhi. The helplessness and pain in his eyes were so clear.
Yan Suizhi, what kind of firm and strong belief does he have that allows him to move forward alone and without hesitation?
She was filled with mixed emotions. Her dark eyes tilted upwards, staring at him blankly.
"Meimei, are you okay?" Yan Suizhi looked at her pale face and couldn't help worrying.
"I'm fine, Yan Suizhi..." She had a thousand words in her heart, but she couldn't say them out loud.
Perhaps she really misunderstood him. He had chosen to conceal the truth for her and Jin Bai's safety.
"You're still hiding something from me, right?"
Yan Suizhi pursed his lips, his eyes dark. Can you tell her? As the investigation deepened, he learned more secrets. If possible, he hoped that Meimei would never have to face these ugly facts.
"You still don't want to tell me, right?" Xie Wanyun said helplessly. Yan Suizhi's stubbornness had already penetrated into his bones, and even she was powerless to change him.
Yan Suizhi spoke slowly, his voice hoarse.
"I'm sorry, Meimei, I've told you everything I could."
His face was calm and resolute, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was gentle and tolerant.
Xie Wanyun couldn't help but hold his hand.
Yan Suizhi immediately held her tightly, his hands were warm and strong.
This is a calm, wise man, with deep thoughts and great ambitions.
There is love in his heart. He loves Jinbai, he loves her, so there is such tenderness in his eyes.
He can provide a solid foundation for them and their child.
Xie Wanyun felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.
She thought carefully about what Yan Suizhi had done over the years. Despite his high position, he worked tirelessly, day and night, giving his all. He proposed several plans for governing the country and vigorously implemented them, most of which achieved good results.
Although he was aloof and arrogant, he never bullied others. He enforced the law impartially and never abused his power.
As for the rumors that he suppressed the old members of the Xie family, in fact, he had no choice. In order to gain Huang Yanjing's trust, he had to show enough sincerity.
In fact, he moved them away from the vortex of the center of power to prevent them from becoming the eyesore of the Xie family's enemies, as that could lead to more serious consequences.
Political struggle has never been a fight of swords and knives on the battlefield, but a hidden murderous intention, frame-up, and killing people invisibly.
If those former members of the Xie family army, who were filled with grief and indignation and were eager for revenge and justice, remained in the court, they would be eaten up by their political enemies without leaving a trace.
"It's getting late. I have to go back first." Xie Wanyun's voice was so gentle that she didn't even notice it.
A hint of reluctance flashed across Yan Suizhi's eyes. However, he quickly stood up and said, "I'll take you there."
The two walked out side by side. The night was as cool as water, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of cassia flowers.
Xie Wanyun couldn't help but sniff.
