Liu Jiao lowered his head quickly: "I'm sorry, General, I was just talking nonsense."
"You will receive a few lashes from the military court, and you must not do it again next time."
"yes."
On the next day, Ji's father led a small group of people and rushed to the capital.
When they were passing a valley, Ji's father suddenly smelled a pungent smell of blood. He covered his mouth and nose and said, "There's something going on ahead, stop!"
Liu Jiao quickly dismounted to check. There were many corpses lying on the narrow road in the middle of the valley. He stepped forward to take a look and found that these people were carrying quivers. Although they were wearing ordinary cloth, there were calluses between their index and middle fingers. They were obviously well-trained archers.
He looked up and saw the people on the mountains on both sides of the valley. They must have been killed and rolled down from the mountains.
"General, there must be archers ambushing here. Somehow something went wrong and they were killed."
Father Ji looked at these people intently. He didn't expect that there were ambushes along the way. He just didn't know who killed them.
He immediately went down and said, "Hey! Be careful on the road later. Since someone wants to help us and he doesn't want to show up, we can just leave on our own."
Seeing Ji's father and his men running away, someone hiding in the forest said, "Xiao Xiao and Xiao Zi, report back."
......
After Ji Fu-yi arrived in the capital, he took the initiative to hand over the tiger talisman to the court and requested to establish a crown prince.
The emperor was in a good mood when he saw that he voluntarily handed over his military power and took the initiative to resign due to illness. It was a pity that the people he sent to kill him on the way failed, and he could not do anything in front of the people of the world. In order to show the emperor's grace, he had to agree to the request to confer the title of prince.
Go to Ji Mansion
Ji Li said angrily, "You have been stationed at the border for Yang State for so many years. Now you have resigned and handed in the military order. Why don't you speak up for Wu'er? Are you only thinking about Ji Yanwang and don't care about your daughter's affairs?"
"Nonsense, Wu'er was sent to the cold palace because she plotted to murder the crown prince. Your Majesty is already doing a great favor by not pursuing the responsibility of the Ji family. How can you still bring this up in the court?"
"Now everyone in the world knows your contributions to the country and the people. Are you not allowed to say a few words for your daughter? You are just partial to your son and are only interested in gaining a title for him."
Seeing Ji Li's hysterical look, Ji's father said coldly: "Come here, take the lady to the room, and don't let her come out unless necessary, let her calm down."
When Ji's father went to the study, he recalled the ambush he had suffered before. He had not forgotten the look of disappointment that flashed across the face of His Majesty in the palace.
He has made countless enemies in his life, and originally thought that it was someone else, but now he thinks it is possible that His Majesty wants to kill him.
Ji's father was your majesty's study companion. The two grew up together almost together and had a close relationship like brothers. Later, your majesty successfully ascended the throne. After that, foreign enemies invaded and Ji's father volunteered to guard the border. I don't know when it started, but the relationship between him and your majesty was no longer as close as before.
Ji's father clearly felt that His Majesty was wary of him, but his Ji family had always been loyal to the country and would never do anything to harm the country.
He originally thought that by sending Wuer into the palace, His Majesty would be able to rest assured, and he could concentrate on staying at the border to completely resolve the issue of Chengnan.
His Majesty immediately agreed to a truce and marriage, and also sent Wu'er to the cold palace, forcing me to voluntarily hand over my military power.
䀴Now, Your Majesty wants to kill him to prevent future troubles.
