The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

Faced with the ministers who spoke with certainty and fabricated stories that were completely false, and the emperor who was sitting at the top with a gloomy and mysterious look on his face.

Zhang Shizhong remained silent the entire time, looking at them with a half-smile as if they were a clown.

"......"

"Your Majesty, to sum up, the Great General who defends the country is a person who seeks fame and reputation and deceives the world."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

"..."

The emperor sitting on the dragon throne has a dragon-like appearance and a phoenix-like appearance, with eyes that are sometimes bright and sometimes dark, making it impossible to guess what he is thinking.

"General, I want to hear what you have to say."

Zhang Shizhong looked up at the bright yellow, and a biting chill spread from his heart to every part of his body.

It is sad and lamentable that the Zhang family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for generations. They never leave their horses and their armor. In order to protect Dayan, they died on the horse's hide and carried soil to build their graves. The whole family is full of loyal heroes.

Today he finally understood that they had fought for their country and their people, and were willing to sacrifice their lives for justice, but not only would they not be remembered in history, they would more likely be slandered by villains and be infamous for eternity. What was the difference between this and the Cheng family a hundred years ago?

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. He should have discovered it long ago. The emperor had already firmly sat on the throne and had begun to be wary of him. As the great general guarding the country, he already had a high reputation in the army, and his sons were all talented generals with both civil and military skills, wisdom and courage.

In addition, this time Yinzhou County provided disaster relief and killed the corrupt official Liu Deyuan. In the eyes of the people of Yinzhou, the general who guards the country is their heaven. The boiling public opinion made the dragon throne thousands of miles away become hot, making him restless.

Forget it. What does the kingdom of Dayan have to do with him? It’s not worth him risking his life to protect it.

Just leave when you have accumulated enough disappointment. It is time for him to go look for his poor sister. For the sake of national justice, he has had no time to look for her over the years.

"If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext. I have a clear conscience and have nothing to say!"

"In that case, let's adjourn the court and let the general stay."

It was not until the moon was bright and the stars were sparse that Zhang Shizhong left the palace alone.

Outside the palace gate, Zhang Qing, the steward of the general's mansion, was standing beside the carriage, looking worriedly towards the palace gate again and again.

From the time the sun was at its highest point in the sky until the Golden Crow set in the west and the Jade Rabbit rose in the east, finally, the heavy rumble of the palace gate was heard.

He nervously stood on his toes and raised his head, and finally saw the lonely familiar figure, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Fortunately! Fortunately, the general is still alive!

God knows how tormented he had been today. When the court was dismissed in the morning, all the officials came out of the palace chatting and laughing. When they saw him, they gave him meaningful sneers, which made his scalp tingle. Until everyone came out, his general still didn't show up.

It was not until one of the general's former subordinates secretly told him that he learned what had happened in the Golden Palace and that the general was left alone in the palace.

He hurriedly asked the servant to return to the general's mansion to inform the mistress, Madam Bai, while he continued to wait at the palace gate.

He wiped his tears, trotted forward and supported the staggering old general.

"General!"

Looking at the general who was so vigorous and majestic a few months ago, but now looked thin and haggard, and looked old and gloomy, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles. He called out "General", but his throat seemed to be choked and he could no longer utter a single word.

"It's okay! Let's go home!"

The general pulled the corner of his mouth as if to comfort him, and got into the carriage without letting him support him.

Only when he sat in the carriage with the curtains lowered to block out the prying eyes from all directions did Zhang Shizhong breathe a sigh of relief. His drooping shoulders returned to their original state and his eyes sparkled.

The dog emperor wanted to convict him without even investigating. It seems that he has made up his mind not to tolerate the Zhang family anymore.

Fortunately, he was one step ahead and handed over the military command first. He also said that he was too old and unable to perform the task, and begged the emperor to allow him to retire and return home.

The emperor did not expect that he would be so tactful in handing over the military command and so readily give up the fame and fortune accumulated over generations. Even though he had a heart as hard as iron, he could not help but be moved.

In fact, he knew everything that happened in Yinzhou.

He originally planned to take advantage of the enemy's strategy and let him be infected with the plague and die without bloodshed.

Unexpectedly, not only did he not die, but he actually won the hearts of the people. How could this be possible.

Liu Deyuan was indeed guilty of a crime worthy of death, but the fact that he had set a trap for Zhang Shizhong before his death pleased him deeply.

This gave him a chance to control him. Right and wrong were just a matter of words from him. It seemed that the Zhang family really had no intention of rebelling.

But how can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed? It is impossible to keep him in the court. Without military force and power, he will be like a cat without claws and teeth. It is not a bad idea to let him go.

"Oh, where is the general's hometown?"

"Your Majesty, my ancestors moved from Pingyang County in Yinzhou County."

The emperor was even more satisfied when he heard that his hometown was Yinzhou.

Yinzhou has many high mountains and steep cliffs, unlike other counties with flat terrain, so the grain output is not much, not enough to feed the people.

That place is very poor, not to mention that Yinzhou had just survived two disasters. Only one in ten of the people survived, and even food and shelter were still a big problem. You can imagine how difficult life was there.

"Okay! Considering your hard work and contributions over the years, I will forgive you for what happened and allow you to return home."

I'm still letting bygones be bygones, but do you dare to accuse me truthfully?

When we returned to the general's mansion, everyone, young and old, was waiting at the gate, looking forward to the intersection.

"master!"

"father!"

"grandfather!"

"..."

Zhang Shizhong got off the car without saying much, took his old wife and went into the hall.

He sat at the top with a gloomy look on his face, while the younger ones sitting below looked at him in silence.

"Hey!"

The general's eyes swept across everyone's face for a long time before he sighed deeply.

It was this sigh, like a hammer, that hit everyone's heart heavily, causing them to change their expressions.

"I am old. On the battlefield, I am no longer able to defeat the enemy and kill the generals. In the court, I cannot cope with the treacherous officialdom. I have just returned the military seal and the commander's seal to Your Majesty, and the Emperor has also allowed me to retire and return home.

Tomorrow I will pack up my things and return to Yinzhou. After some time, this house will be taken back by me."

The women and children sitting below breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Although their expressions were still a little heavy, they were much better than before.

Fortunately, he just retired and returned home, without his property being confiscated or his family being exterminated.

After briefly explaining the situation, and seeing that the old general was tired, Mrs. Bai told everyone to disperse, leaving only the three daughters-in-law behind.

The three daughters-in-law all came from prominent families. The eldest daughter-in-law, Yuan, was the eldest daughter of the Taifu family and was also considered the emperor's junior sister.

The second daughter-in-law, Xue, was the second daughter of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and Concubine Xue was her elder sister.

The third daughter-in-law, Shen, is the only daughter of General Huaihua.

"What are your three plans for today's incident?"

The three of them didn't understand what their mother-in-law meant and looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

"Mother, what does this mean?"

"For a long time, our General's Mansion has been a thorn in the eyes of many people. Now that your father-in-law has retired and returned to his hometown, this huge wealth has nothing to do with us. Many people want to take advantage of our misfortune.

We will not have a peaceful life for a long time to come.

If what I guessed is correct, your husbands will probably be in trouble on the battlefield and may never be able to make a comeback.

I have left you three alone today to ask you whether you will stay or go.

Your parents' family has the ability to protect you. If you can get out of this quagmire in time, I believe you will still be able to live a good life in the future.

How about this? If you have this idea, I can make the decision to let you and my son divorce. In addition to taking your dowry, I can also compensate you with some money, but the child must stay with us. "
