After transmigrating into the villain's daughter, I lie down and win

Chapter 772 The whole family is a rebel (56)

"My lord..."

"I know what you want to say, keep yourself safe?"

Before Zhao Ying could speak, Jin Yan interrupted him.

Zhao Ying was silent.

He really wanted to say this, but Jin Yan had already guessed his thoughts, so there was no need for him to continue.

Without mentioning his previous understanding of Jin Yan, just talking about the one month of getting along with Jin Yan after she entered the palace, he found that although Jin Yan was soft-hearted, she was also very stubborn and decisive, and she would not easily change her decision.

Jin Yan walked slowly, and when she saw birds foraging on the withered grass, she would crush up some of the snacks she had with her and throw them out. When she saw the birds leaving with the snacks, she would smile happily.

Zhao Ying knew that she wanted to leave the palace.

There are many people in this world who are trying their best to get into the palace. It is rare to see people like the brother and sister in the Northern Palace who treat the palace as a cage.

Speechless all the way.

When they returned to their residence, Xiao Quji was walking out, with his servants chasing him with cloaks in their hands. He stopped only after seeing Jin Yan.

"came back?"

Xiao Quji took two steps at a time and walked forward quickly. He pulled Jin Yan to look at her, then held her slightly cold hand to warm it, "The fire is already heated up, come in quickly."

Since entering the palace, Xiao Quji's nerves have always been tense, fearing that Jin Yan would be plotted against and murdered by some short-sighted person.

But he was a man with an unusual status, so he could not move around the palace freely and could only worry.

If Jin Yan fails to return within the allotted time, even if it violates palace rules, he will definitely search the entire palace to find his sister.

After returning to the house, taking off his cold coat and sitting by the roadside to warm himself by the fire, Jin Yan told Xiao Quji what he had heard on the road.

Xiao Quji looked calm, obviously he already knew.

Then he took out a small bamboo tube from his body, took out a small piece of paper from it and handed it to Jin Yan.

Jin Yan took it, read it, and immediately threw it into the brazier.

Watching the note being completely devoured by the charcoal fire, Jin Yan said, "In that case, we have a chance of leaving the palace."

Xiao Quji nodded and lowered his voice, "At the court tomorrow morning, someone will accuse my father of being arrogant and taking credit for himself, and of sending troops to pursue the Xiongnu without the imperial order. At that time, people headed by Censor Zhou will also use etiquette and law to criticize the irrationality of me, a foreign man, living in the palace... If everything goes well, we will be able to leave the palace soon."

Being trapped in this small palace, being monitored all the time and restricted in every way, although it is possible to instigate those who are dissatisfied with the court and plant some spies in the palace, overall, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Only by leaving the palace can he have the opportunity to display his skills.

The next day.

As soon as the morning court began, someone submitted a memorial to impeach General Xiao Ji, saying that he was arrogant due to his achievements, had too many troops to rely on, and disregarded the laws of the court. He sent troops out without following orders, and after the victory, he still sat firmly in the northwest and refused to withdraw his troops back to the court. His sinister intentions were obvious!
After that, they presented the evidence they had collected from all sides and presented it to the emperor. "Not only did he refuse to withdraw his troops, he also plundered the Xiongnu's cattle and sheep and raised horses privately. It is obvious that the general is ambitious!"

Someone immediately objected, "The general is in charge of guarding the northwest, and it is his duty to strengthen the army. He raises cattle, sheep and horses, which is also within his duties. Just because he fulfilled his duties and surrounded the border areas to ensure stability and peace for the people, should he be accused of being disloyal and be sentenced to be guilty?"

"Yes, if there is no great general guarding the border, I am afraid that the entire north will be harassed by foreign races and there will be no peace. To surround the border, we need strong soldiers and sufficient food and grass. As far as I know, this year's winter clothes have not been delivered to the border yet, right?"

Some of the officials in the Shaofu who originally wanted to impeach Xiao Ji immediately shut up when they heard that innocent people would be impeached, while others spoke up for Xiao Ji.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Since the founding of the country, the Ministry of Finance has been in deficit for many years and has not been able to make ends meet. The general's policy of cultivating farmland in the north has greatly alleviated the crisis of the Ministry of Finance!"

Someone else said, "The general has won a victory and killed the Xiongnu Chanyu's uncle, the Right Wise King, as well as the left and right generals and the Great Danghu. This is the best time to show our national prestige and avenge the Xiongnu's invasion of our borders. If we don't take those cattle, sheep and horses, do we have to leave them with the Xiongnu and allow them to continue to grow and invade our territory again?"

As he spoke, the man looked at the man who had impeached him in the first place, "Lord Li, you have mentioned several times that the general raised livestock for the Xiongnu. Could it be that you couldn't bear to see the Xiongnu people starving and freezing in this winter?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the man broke out in a cold sweat, knelt down suddenly and began to kowtow and apologize, saying that he had no such intention and that he was loyal to Daxia and His Majesty. Unfortunately, the emperor had a gloomy expression and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

For a moment, all the ministers were silent and did not say a word.

At this moment, a tall and thin civil servant stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, even if it is legal and reasonable for the general to raise livestock, it is an indisputable fact that he has his own troops and keeps issuing orders. Your Majesty, please call the general back to the court and punish him according to the law!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man immediately retorted, "Master Yushi, the general just won a victory, and his prestige in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the north is at its highest. If we call him back to the court and deal with him according to the law, let alone what the soldiers and civilians in the north will think, once the Xiongnu know that the general is not stationed in the north, will they gather other oppressed Hu people and invade our border together?"

Imperial Censor Zhou Jin's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "Your Majesty is kind and loving. There are many talented people in the court. There must be someone who can succeed Xiao Ji."

The man continued to refute, "Who is this person?"

He looked around at the generals, but saw that they were all looking around, looking useless. He was immediately angry and said to Zhou Jin: "Master Yushi, please tell me who can take over as the general."

Zhou Jin did not hesitate at all and immediately read out a name: "Shi Ming."

, everyone's eyes fell on a bloated and obese middle-aged man among the ranks of generals.

he?
It is undeniable that Shi Ming was once a talent like Xiao Ji, and he also made great contributions to Daxia, but now...

He was so exhausted from climbing the stairs last morning that he was out of breath. If he were asked to ride a horse, would he be able to climb on it? And how many steeds could gallop across the battlefield carrying such a pile of fat?

The gazes of the ministers were like needles pricking Shi Ming's face, making it flush red and as if he had a thorn in his back. He slowly moved his heavy body, and before he had taken a few steps, he was already sweating profusely from exhaustion.

As if they smelled some unspeakable odor, many people showed unbearable expressions, and some even blatantly fanned themselves with their sleeves.

The emperor did not react at all when his ministers humiliated a general who had made great contributions to the country. Shi Ming looked at all the officials in the room and felt extremely ashamed. At the same time, the resentment and anger that had been pent up in his heart for a long time began to take root.

He was injured while fighting for his country and became like this after suffering from a lot of injuries. What qualifications do these people have to laugh at him and belittle him?
He lowered his head, but his eyes couldn't help but look towards the dragon throne.

His Majesty.

Your Majesty, have you forgotten how you came to the throne?
