Qin Shuwan frowned and asked, "Is it because of the emperor's great achievements that he wants to eliminate the general's mansion? Or is it because the general's mansion violated the emperor's taboo?", and was puzzled by the emperor's calculations.
Ji Xianning smiled bitterly and said, "Loyalty and infatuation ultimately lost to human nature.
Half of the territory of the Jin Dynasty was conquered by the ancestors of the Ji family. Before the incident, my father also controlled most of the military power of the Jin Dynasty. He has always been conscientious and hardworking, thinking about the strategies of worrying about the country and the people, and benefiting the people. He has never had any second thoughts.
But such loyalty could not withstand suspicion and calculation. It was my stupidity and ignorance that I could not see through it! It harmed the whole family.
Qin Shuwan exclaimed inwardly, "What a stunt!" He was thinking of nothing but plans for the nation and its people, policies that would benefit the people. Wasn't that something the emperor should be concerned about? He was already so accomplished that he threatened the emperor, and now he was stepping into other people's shoes. How could he allow someone else to sleep soundly beside him?
Besides, which emperor didn't ascend to the throne by stepping on rivers of blood and mountains of corpses? And you still expect him to be merciful? Stop being ridiculous.
But in other words, in ancient society, having military power is equivalent to having real power, right? If you have real power, what's there to be afraid of? At worst, you can use the emperor to control the princes! Or change the dynasty!
Qin Shuwan looked at Ji Xianning and said, "Since your General's Mansion has a deep foundation and has done things that benefit the country and the people, it must be very popular among the people and control most of the military power. Even if the emperor is worried about his own reputation, he should not easily shake it unless he is absolutely sure.
Why would I just destroy you? Didn't you notice any signs before? What's the reason for destroying you?"
Ji Xianning said with a painful expression, "He caught me having an affair with someone, but I was framed.
When I was first banished to the harem, I always thought that it was other concubines who framed me, but after staying here for three days, I figured it out. The mastermind behind my frame-up must be him. Otherwise, how could an outsider enter the harem of such a great dynasty so easily?
Moreover, the man was stabbed to death on the spot, leaving no evidence.
Everyone in the General's Mansion is loyal and abides by etiquette. He must have planned this for a long time, but he couldn't find a way out, so he used me as a warning.
Given how much my father and brothers love me, if anything happens to me, and for such a ridiculous reason, my father will definitely go to the emperor to find out the truth. His concern will lead to confusion, and he will be able to find excuses to accuse me of crimes.
Unfortunately, even if I knew, I couldn't inform my family. As long as they don't act rashly, even if I'm imprisoned, that cold-hearted man won't touch the General's Mansion."
Qin Shuwan thought, even if I notify them now, it's too late, right? Three days have passed. Three days is enough time to change the fate of many people. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
