After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 75 Right to Disarm

"My Lord, please accept the order."

Rong Peilan prostrated himself on the ground along with the others.

The eunuch beside His Majesty came to announce the decree early in the morning. As expected, His Majesty took advantage of the situation and no longer cared about his face. He just wanted to achieve his goal as quickly as possible.

"My lord, accept the order."

Ji Zhenming's deep voice came over.

Rong Peilan took Ji Yunzhang's hand and slowly stood up.

She looked at her father-in-law in front of her, who was no longer as high-spirited and energetic as he was the first time she saw him on the city wall.

At this moment, he really looks like an old man.

Eunuch Cao sighed, "My Lord, His Majesty would not want this to happen. If you had listened to our advice, you would have been a county duke now, and you would have returned with honor."

"Now you've ended up in this situation. All your achievements for most of your life have gone to waste. Is it worth it?"

Ji Zhenming didn't say anything.

Eunuch Cao took one last look at Ji Zhenming, and as he turned to leave, he said leisurely, "After all, this world is still your Majesty's world."

Until Eunuch Cao's sedan chair disappeared.

Ji Zhenming sighed, "Your Majesty has changed after all."

Rong Peilan lowered her eyelids. Her father-in-law had been an upright military general all his life. He did not belong to any party in the court's factional struggles and was an outlier.

My father once said that if corruption in the imperial court does not change, heresy will arise within ten years.

Now even military power has become a tool for power struggles and factional struggles. The wars of the Western Jin Dynasty will only happen again.

But will there still be a General Ji like before?

As soon as Eunuch Cao left, Pingchang Earl and the newly promoted city defense general Cai Desheng came to the door.

Pingchangbo looked at Ji Zhenming standing at the door, and his wrinkles on his face were all smiling.

"Oh my, how did Lord Ji know that I was coming to visit you, and even bothered Lord Ji to go out and greet me in person?"

"I am honored!!"

Ji Zhenming looked at Pingchangbo with his big belly and his jaw clenched.

Pingchangbo could not see his expression, but just stretched out his hands, "Ji Hou, where is the tiger talisman?"

Ji Zhenming said calmly, "Qiu Rui, give it to him."

Qiu Rui took out half of a brass tiger talisman that had been rubbed to a shine from his arms.

When Pingchang Bo saw the tiger talisman, he was so excited that his hands were shaking.

He carefully held the tiger talisman in his palm, his voice trembling, "This is the tiger talisman that can mobilize 200,000 Northwest Army troops."

He looked at it carefully before carefully handing the tiger talisman to Cai Desheng, "Set off immediately and give it to the prince... No, it's General Liu now!"

Pingchangbo watched General Cai leave reluctantly.

He looked back at Ji Zhenming, raised his thick eyebrows and laughed twice, "Lord Ji, I am not saying anything bad about you, but your hair has turned white, so just go back to Beijing and enjoy the wealth and luxury of the capital."

"Let the young people endure the suffering of the sandstorms over there."

Ji Zhenming ignored the hypocritical Pingchang Earl, turned around and returned home with the imperial edict in his hand.

Pingchangbo hadn't finished speaking and wanted to catch up to continue.

Ji Yunzhang stopped him.

He paused and looked at the young man in front of him with a bad face, "Haha, nephew Ji, it's already this late, why are you still at home? Are you taking a day off today?"

He said as if he had suddenly realized something, and continued, "I had forgotten that my nephew Ji is still a white-collar worker and is still idle at home."

As he spoke, he had already stopped smiling and snorted, "This is also good. I can stay at home and spend more time with my father."

"Anyway, with the salary the court pays to the marquis, the family won't starve to death."

Ji Yunzhang's face visibly darkened. After a moment, the corners of his lips suddenly rose, and there was no trace of gloom on his face anymore.

Just when Pingchangbo was confused, his cold words came out of his mouth word by word, making Pingchangbo so angry that he almost fainted.

"Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield. Lord Liu, you'd better give your son a sturdy set of armor."

"you!--"

Pingchang Bo's eyes were red with anger. He had just received the tiger talisman and he said such things. If he wasn't cursing his son to die quickly, then what was he?
Rong Peilan took two steps forward and said, "My husband, the time you and Mr. Jin agreed to meet is almost here."

Ji Yunzhang was stunned for a moment, then snorted at Pingchangbo, "I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you any longer."

Because of the relationship with the imperial concubine, Pyeongchang Earl had never been treated so coldly.

He was so angry that his face turned pale and blue.

Ji Yunzhang held Rong Peilan's hand and slowly returned to Yuhui Garden.

Rong Peilan looked at his calm face and knew how sad he was, so she could only hold his hand and squeeze it to show her comfort.

Ji Yunzhang held Rong Peilan in his arms, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "My wife, I just feel sorry for my father."

"It's not worth it for the Ji family."

Hearing his words, Rong Peilan subconsciously thought of his father.

Why did my father only serve as an official for three years? Was it because this court was not worth it?

She patted his arm and said, "That was father's own choice. He did it for the people of Dawn, not entirely for Your Majesty. It's good as long as he doesn't regret it."

Ji Yunzhang suddenly raised his head and whispered, "Madam, how much silver is left at home?"

"what?"

Ji Shizi changed the subject so quickly that she didn't react.

Ji Yunzhang peeled an orange and fed it into Rong Peilan's mouth one slice at a time.

"The world is going to be in chaos. Let's find a deep mountain or old forest, where there are many free and unrestrained people. Let them fight! We will come out after they are done."

He looked at her puzzled look and continued.

"On his way back to Beijing, my father intercepted a secret letter from the King of the Western Jin Dynasty."

Rong Peilan's eyes widened. She swallowed the orange peel in her mouth with difficulty, "Treason and collaborating with the enemy!!"

Ji Yunzhang nodded gently, "But we don't know who it is yet."

"Someone colluded with the Western Jin Dynasty to make it pretend to attack, and then was defeated by Liu Qirui's troops in order to consolidate the Liu family's prestige in the army."

Rong Peilan's eyelids jumped. "A fake attack... Can war be so frivolous? Can the king of Western Jin be so obedient?"

Ji Yunzhang snorted, "Some people think that the kitten of the Western Jin Dynasty has not grown up yet, but the Western Jin Dynasty may have already bared its fangs and waited."

He sighed and said, "It's a waste that the old man has guarded the border for so many years."

"After enduring so much hardship and suffering, and not even being able to discipline his own son, all he gets in the end is suspicion and vigilance, or even killing."

Rong Peilan looked into his eyes and asked softly, "Then you will follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ji Yunzhang looked at the thoughtful young lady in front of him. He said nothing, but she knew everything.

Prince...

"If the Crown Prince is like Your Majesty, I will decisively withdraw from the position, just like my father-in-law resigned from his post."

"You and your father-in-law can travel all over the world with your mother-in-law and us, and make the whole world your home."

"Why can't I?"

Looking at the man in front of her who was speaking such lofty words, Rong Peilan pursed her lips and smiled.

He is different from Dad.

He and his father-in-law are the same kind of people.
