When this sentence was uttered, most people were stunned and were unable to react.
When they realized what was happening, not to mention the common people, even the court officials themselves were simply in disbelief.
My first reaction was that this kid was talking nonsense!
Just four days ago, they received an urgent military report that the siege of the southern border was imminent!
The little girl was too lazy to talk to them. She raised her chin and said, "Ada, deliver the letter we stole to this Emperor Dajing."
The sturdy man who was named almost fell to his knees.
Auntie, why do you let him do this kind of job?
Although he was terrified, he did not dare to delay for a moment. He took out a letter from his bag and went to Emperor Jing.
The guards around Emperor Jing were so afraid of a little girl, let alone Ada, a grown man.
On the contrary, Emperor Jing said expressionlessly, "Bring the letter here."
"Your Majesty, be careful of traps!" a court official said worriedly.
This little girl is so evil, what if she did something to the letter...
"Bring it here." Emperor Jing said three words again.
"yes."
Immediately, a guard came forward, took the letter from Ada, and presented it to Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing opened the letter under the worried gazes of his court officials.
After a while, he looked at everyone and said, "The siege of the southern border has been lifted."
What!
Is it true?
At this time, a long "Report~!"
The people who came on horseback were the same as the post soldiers who brought the urgent report from the border four days ago.
Dust-covered.
After he got off the horse and was about to report military affairs, he saw a little girl on the stage looking at him with a smile.
"It's you!"
The little girl blinked and said, "It's me, little brother. You should thank me. I delivered the letter for you in advance."
The soldier's tanned face turned red and black with anger because of her words.
It's not good to be mean to a child.
She snatched the letter from him, and he felt not only ashamed, but also his head was in danger!
And thank her!
but.
Gritting his teeth, he knelt down before Emperor Jing and reported the urgent military affairs first, "Your Majesty, Prince Ning has won a great victory over the coalition forces of various countries in the southern border, and the siege of the southern border has been lifted!"
Emperor Jing quietly clenched his fingers into fists under his dragon robe, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, when the countries neighboring the southern border made unusual movements, His Royal Highness Prince Ning in the north noticed it and quietly rushed to the southern border. When the coalition forces of the southern border countries approached the border, His Royal Highness Prince Ning led his men to attack the base camps of those countries from a detour. The coalition forces rushed back to reinforce, but fell into the trap set by His Royal Highness Prince Ning in advance, and all the countries suffered heavy losses."
He kowtowed again and said, "Because the changes in the southern border were sudden, and His Royal Highness Prince Ning's plan must not be leaked in order to have a greater chance of success, so..."
"So, he acted on his own and executed first and reported later." Emperor Jing took over the conversation.
The postman lowered his head and said nothing.
The little girl holding Baili Feiyue's hand tilted her head slightly and said in confusion, "You Dajing won the battle, but as the emperor, why are you unhappy? Could it be that you want the coalition forces to enter Dajing Kyoto, drive you all away, and then kill all the people? It's so strange."
Those court officials who were shocked by the news and didn't know what to think almost fell down when they heard the little girl's words.
Look at the little girl again, her eyes are curved and she is still smiling!
He is so scheming at such a young age!
These people who only see the surface of things and just follow the crowd may think too much!
Sure enough, the people below began to murmur.
"The siege of the southern border has been lifted. There will be no more war, and certainly not in Kyoto. This is great!"
"Yes, Your Highness Prince Ning, even if you haven't asked for permission first, winning the battle is the principle!"
"Your Highness Prince Ning is indeed the son of General Ling. He is truly a great general and will make a great splash!"
Amid the buzzing discussions, someone suddenly shouted, "They were the first to unite and want to humiliate our Dajing! Ling Jing killed these foreign envoys at the perfect time! Send their bodies back to them and teach them a lesson! The people and soldiers of our Dajing are not so easy to bully, right!"
This voice is not only high-pitched, but also extremely penetrating and infectious.
The people who had previously called for the killing of Baili Feiyue were now relieved that the siege of the southern border had been lifted.
Now, stimulated by this voice, the heroism and passion of living in a comfortable environment, ready to attack others with just words, was aroused.
"Yes, why should they be the only ones to bully me, Da Jing? Fight back!"
"That's right, good job! We should teach them a lesson so they will remember this!"
Those who had pleaded for Baili Feiyue before were shocked when they saw this situation.
Immediately followed, "Your Majesty, Miss Ling III should not be killed!"
"So, not only is she innocent, she has also done something good!"
Some of the calm people who had a little bit of common sense also started whispering to each other.
"Although Ling Jing's killing of the foreign envoy is indeed a serious crime, it can be considered as a case of good intentions leading to bad consequences. After all, she has a capable brother. The news that the siege of the southern border has been lifted came at the right time."
"It is indeed timely. Even considering the great contribution that Prince Ning has just made, it is not appropriate to kill Ling Jing at this time."
"They are afraid but dare not kill. Think about it, the army in the north is almost all under the command of General Ling, and those soldiers are in awe of General Ling. The generals in the south have always been promoted by the current emperor, but now Prince Ning has gone there and led them to perform such a great feat. Think about it, Prince Ning can privately mobilize and command their actions without an imperial decree..."
People who heard this were shocked.
In other words, although the southern part is the emperor’s personal guard, there is a question mark at the moment.
In other words, the actual military power of Dajing is now in the hands of the Ling family father and son!
This is so terrible!
If he came to kill the young lady of Ling Mansion at this time, one could imagine...
If the common people could think of it, how could the court officials and Emperor Jing not think of it?
At this moment, veins on Emperor Jing's hands were bulging under his sleeves.
What a Ling Duannian!
Those court officials who had previously claimed to kill Baili Feiyue now began to change their attitude and give Emperor Jing a way out.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Ling Jing's murder of the heir to the throne does need to be investigated. As for the killing of the foreign envoy... since the coalition forces of various countries have been defeated, we should seize the opportunity to pursue them and teach them a lesson. We are the Great Kingdom of Great Jing, the dignified Celestial Empire. How can we be threatened and insulted by them just because they want to unite and insult us?"
"I think so too. Ling Jing is guilty, but the death penalty can be avoided. Now, her father and brother have made great contributions on the border. It would be a pity to disappoint General Ling and His Royal Highness Prince Ning. We should give her a chance and give her a lighter sentence."
"I suggest that she be spared from immediate execution and allowed to return to the general's mansion to reflect on her mistakes."
There was no expression on Emperor Jing's face anymore.
Looking at Baili Feiyue, "Yes."
