Parents are busy farming

When she said this, she stared directly at the emperor without fear. At the beginning, her tone was still relatively calm, but later, she could no longer suppress her emotions and her voice rose involuntarily.

The stubborn look in his eyes seemed to overlap with someone else's appearance.

Before the emperor could fully understand the meaning of her words, Ye Zifen continued, "Do you think this is the only unfair thing? Your Majesty, you may not know yet, right? The reason why the border has been able to send good news so frequently this time is all due to the people in our caravan acting as pioneers and fighting bravely in the front, which has brought these rare victories. But what did they get for risking their lives? Not only do they lack food and water, they can't even get a warm cotton coat. What's more, there are actually people who want to step on their corpses to claim the credit that belongs to them. Isn't this just letting these people die?"

At this point, a bitter smile appeared on her lips, and she said with a slightly trembling voice: "Years ago, I worked hard day and night to make a total of 10,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes for the court! However, in the end, the people in my caravan didn't even have the qualifications to wear these cotton-padded clothes..."

Having said this, her tears finally burst out uncontrollably like a flood.

She has been struggling to hold on until now, simply because she wants to bring this endless injustice and suffering to the Golden Palace, let the emperor witness it with his own eyes, make the emperor angry, make the emperor blame himself, and thus give them a fair and just result.

At this moment, tears flowed down her face, but she was no longer able to stop the endless tears.

How long had it been since she felt such pain?

Once upon a time, she thought she had been through a lot and had become calm and would not cry easily anymore.

However, faced with a series of unexpected things, she realized that the pain in her heart was much deeper than she had imagined.

The eunuch who had just welcomed Ye Zifen into the hall obviously had not expected Ye Zifen to say such a thing. His eyes widened with surprise, and then he turned his head tremblingly to peek at the expression of the emperor sitting in the dragon throne at the top.

The emperor pursed his lips tightly, and his face, which was weathered by time and full of majesty, was burning with rage.

This made him even more nervous, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He was afraid that he would become a punching bag if he was not careful.

However, he knew very well in his heart that the entire court would soon be plunged into a bloody storm again.

He really couldn't understand why this seemingly weak little girl was so magical that she could stir up the situation in the court twice and create such a huge storm!

The last time, a marquis was executed along with his entire clan. The scene was horrific!

The entire mansion was stained red with blood, and there were corpses and wailing everywhere.

And this time? The situation seems to be even more serious.

Not only local officials were involved, but even generals on the border were not spared.

These people are all pillars of talent in the eyes of the emperor!

He thought that they were fighting the enemy on the battlefield at the cost of their lives in order to defend their country.

But now, for the sake of power and interests, people will use any means to eliminate dissidents, even at the cost of sacrificing innocent lives.

Such behavior is simply outrageous!

As an old minister who had followed the emperor for many years, he knew many inside stories that others did not know, including the girl's true identity.

But even if she was a princess, she didn't seem to have such courage! At least, he had never seen anyone dare to question the emperor in person.

As expected, just as the eunuchs were facing a great enemy, the emperor who was sitting at the top suddenly slammed the dragon table and shouted angrily: "How dare you! What evidence do you have to dare to impeach the court officials and frontier generals like this?"

When Ye Zifen heard this, she suddenly laughed, but tears welled up in her eyes.

She knelt down and straightened up, responding fearlessly: "Your Majesty, why should I slander anyone? What did I come here with today? If what I said is not true, wouldn't it be a disgrace to my grandparents' reputation!"

The emperor was very angry, but he didn't know who to be angry with.

He was furious that the little girl had come to him in person and revealed to him that his courtiers were not what he had imagined, which was humiliating.

It can be said that apart from the censor, no other official dared to be so disrespectful to him. Even before the censor spoke, he had to present the evidence, just like a person who went to court to file a complaint and could not speak without words.

In addition, no censor had ever dared to cause such a big mess without his authorization.

However, he was even more annoyed by the officials under his command who ignored the laws of the country for their own personal gain.

Such an important matter was not reported by anyone. Someone must have done it on purpose to prevent him from knowing about it.

A whole shipload of food! This is no small matter.

What exactly are they trying to do? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that someone is deliberately concealing the grain production?

Throughout history, there have been many dynasties that have been destroyed due to natural disasters, so he must be careful.

What if a natural disaster strikes... He really didn't dare to think any further.

He must not become a king who loses his country, and he must not give up the country that his ancestors worked so hard to build.

As for these things in the army, he did not find them strange. After all, such phenomena have existed in the army since ancient times. As the saying goes, "It is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is difficult to get a good general!"

Many talented generals were framed and killed by their own companions in these wars, and only those with deep scheming could truly rise.

Unfortunately, there have been very few generals of civilian origin in recent years, and this is a problem he has always been eager to solve.

The little girl's fuss actually gave him a great opportunity to rectify the problems within the army.

Regarding the affairs of Lingnan, he still needs to send someone to investigate thoroughly.

As for the man in front of him, after some thought, his anger had gradually subsided.

He asked sternly, "Now that the story is over, what is your so-called request?"

He did not forget the reason why she wanted to see him, but he could already guess a little bit.

The tension in Ye Zifen's heart finally relaxed, she knew very well that she had successfully passed this hurdle.

The emperor's tone was as soothing as a spring breeze, showing that he was not yet senile.

I felt relieved, fortunately I didn't implicate others, nor did I affect my two cousins' imperial examinations. I guess my grandfather is still in heaven.
