Because she, this little light bulb, couldn't hold on any longer and went out. No, she fell asleep.
…
Early morning court, in Tai'an Hall.
Several old officials stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there was an assassin sneaking into the palace banquet. Someone must have neglected his duty!"
"Yes." Emperor Qixuan raised his eyes slightly, "Last night, the right commander of the Imperial Guard, Zhao Chengwen, arrested the suspect."
An old minister said worriedly: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health."
The court officials all knelt down and echoed, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
Emperor Qixuan raised his hand slightly and said, "Everyone, get up. It's just a minor injury. Dean Zhang has already healed it."
The moment he raised his hand, the wound on his arm hurt slightly, but for him who had fought on the battlefield before, this little pain was completely negligible.
Speaking of detoxification, Emperor Qixuan was a little absent-minded. He didn't know what price Yaoyao had paid. He decided to go and see her after the court session.
Thinking of this, he gave Su Maowen a look, and Su Maowen nodded in understanding, and immediately sang: "If there is something to say, then play the music; if there is nothing to say, then leave the court——"
"I have a report to make!"
Zheng Fang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the military camps on the border were attacked and all the food and grass were burned. Was this caused by General Li's carelessness or was there another reason? Your Majesty, please investigate!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the court.
Emperor Qixuan sneered in his heart. This was just short of directly saying that the Li family was colluding with the enemy and treason! The prince raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded with satisfaction. Go ahead and jump. When you all jump out, I will wipe out all of you black sheep! Zheng Fang continued: "In any case, the food and grass were destroyed. The Li family did commit dereliction of duty. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, many ministers nodded in agreement, but there were still people who believed in the Li family.
"Your Majesty, the matter has not been fully investigated yet. It is too early to convict."
Zheng Fang sneered, "The military camp is an important place, how important is the location of food and grass? The news was leaked. I'm afraid it's not that the Li family is not strict in military management, but that they have evil intentions!"
"Zheng Fang!"
Censor Zhou pointed at him angrily and said, "General Li has served in the military all his life and made great contributions to our country. How can you slander him like this!"
Afterwards, Censor Zhou said earnestly: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be handled with caution. You must not listen to the one-sided words of some people and let your loyal ministers down!"
"alright."
Emperor Qixuan raised his eyes to look at Zheng Fang and said meaningfully: "Minister Zheng is really well-informed."
Hearing this, Zheng Fang quickly lowered his head to hide the panic in his eyes, "I also heard about it..."
"oh?"
Emperor Qixuan sneered in his heart. Heard? It was Xiao Wentao who instructed it.
When thinking of the Xiao family, Emperor Qixuan's eyes turned gloomy, like a bottomless cold pond.
You're reflecting on your mistakes behind closed doors, yet you're still thinking about causing trouble!
"Report!"
There was a notification from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, there is military news coming from the border."
Emperor Qixuan tightened his grip slightly and said in a deep voice: "Pass it on."
A soldier in armor walked in from outside the palace. The armor was a little torn and stained with dust and blood. The soldier looked haggard and his lips were chapped...
When Zheng Fang saw this, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
As expected, what Lord Xiao said was right. Judging from the appearance of this soldier, he must have just escaped from the battlefield.
The food and grass were burned and the army was defeated.
No matter how many mouths you have, you can't explain it! This time, the Li family...
It's over! The other ministers also began to whisper. Could it be that what Zheng Fang said was true? The soldier knelt on the ground and handed the memorial to Su Maowen.
Su Maowen presented it to Emperor Qixuan again.
After reading ten lines at a glance, Emperor Qixuan finally let go of his tense heart.
Although in
I had already known the result from Yaoyao, but I always felt uneasy until I saw the good news.
Emperor Qixuan laughed out loud, and his depression was relieved. He praised loudly: "Great! General Li had discovered that there was a spy in the military camp a long time ago. He used the enemy's trick to make them burn fake food and grass. During the battle, he not only captured the commander of Xiyue, but also captured a city of Xiyue together with Zhao Jingwu!"
The traitor was a nail that Lord Xiao had planted in the Li family a long time ago, and that person only contacted Lord Xiao.
Even he only knew that there was such a person, but he didn't know his identity or what he looked like.
How could he be discovered? And didn't Zhao Jingwu go to Xuzhou to suppress bandits? Lord Xiao also sent people out of the city to inquire, and they did go to Xuzhou.
How could he appear at the border! Seeing Zheng Fang's loss of composure, the prince asked sternly: "Look at Minister Zheng, Da Qi won, don't you believe it?"
The prince spoke each word with pauses, staring at him with coldness in his eyes, "Or... you don't want to?!"
"I dare not!"
Zheng Fang's back was instantly covered in cold sweat, his eyes wandering, "I'm just, just curious, isn't General Zhao in Xuzhou suppressing bandits right now?"
"That's right." Zheng Fang pointed the finger at Zhao Jingwu as if he had grasped hope.
"Your Majesty, you sent Zhao Jingwu to suppress the bandits, but he dared to lead his troops to the border without permission, openly defying your order. He deserves death!"
"Bang!"
Emperor Qixuan was furious and slammed the table.
"When Zhao Jingwu left the capital, I gave him the right to act at his own discretion. Why, now you want to blame me for not telling you?"
Da Qi is about to perish!
These treacherous officials were only concerned with forming cliques and eliminating dissidents!
How could he not be angry?
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Zheng Fang's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "I dare not."
"snort!"
Zheng Fang tried to stand back in his original position tremblingly, but Censor Zhou had no intention of letting him go.
With his old, cloudy eyes narrowed, Censor Zhou looked at Zheng Fang thoughtfully and snorted, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Minister of War, Zheng Fang."
Zheng Fang shuddered subconsciously.
Censor Zhou continued, "Zheng Fang slandered loyal officials, framed his colleagues, and disrupted the court. He deserves death!"
After saying this, Censor Zhou looked at the flustered Zheng Fang with contempt.
There is definitely something wrong with this person! Emperor Qixuan nodded, "Let the Imperial Censorate conduct a thorough investigation of this matter. Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your hard work."
"I accept your order."
Emperor Qixuan nodded. Although Censor Zhou was a bit long-winded on weekdays, he was really helpful at critical moments.
It’s just that Censor Zhou is old after all…
Emperor Qixuan secretly decided that after Yaoyao's set of physical fitness exercises was drawn, he would give a copy to Censor Zhou first.
Small pills for reducing fever and relieving pain should also be prepared.
Such a loyal minister deserves no reward.
Zheng Fang pretended to be calm, but he had actually lost all his composure.
He comforted himself by thinking that there was Lord Xiao, who would definitely help him.
Qionghua Palace
System: It has been detected that the host's blood relatives have made a cross-era item, and the reward is +10 counterattack progress, 50 reward points, current progress 35, and the point balance is 105.
Chu Yaoyao, who was originally sleeping soundly, sat up in shock upon hearing the sound, rubbed her eyes with her hands, and said with a silly and cute look, "Second brother, are you here?"
[So fast! ]
In a workshop of the Ministry of Industry, Chu You was pleasantly surprised when he saw the newly-baked colored glass.
He put the soap and glass in separate wooden boxes.
"Quick, go to the Imperial Study!"
Chu You's face was full of excitement. Father, I have lived up to everyone's expectations and finally made it!
