Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

The ministers were waiting in fear in the hall.

Xiao Dezi invited all the generals guarding the border into the hall.

Ye Xiu-xiu from the northern Xinjiang. Meizhou Pu from the western Xinjiang. Yu Zhen-hang from the southern Xinjiang. Situ Jin also came back.

As soon as these people entered the hall, all the officials knew that something big was going to happen in Mobei Kingdom.

It turns out that the emperor was well prepared.

When he noticed Aunt Mei's reaction that day, he started to make plans.

He asked Xiao Dezi to send secret letters to various frontier generals in advance, asking them to return to Kyoto as soon as possible to discuss important matters.

He suspected Meizhou Pu, but he couldn't let him come back alone, so he ordered all the frontier generals to return to Beijing so as not to alert the enemy.

The generals rushed back to Kyoto at full speed.

Meizhou Pu didn't expect that the failure in assassinating Xia Luo would cause him to lose everything.

"Xiao Dezi, bring the witness up." Without saying a word, the emperor asked Xiao Dezi to bring all the swordsmen from the Swordsman Valley to the main hall.

When Meizhou Pu saw the swordsman, he knew he was finished.

"General Mei, do you have anything else to say?" When the emperor saw Mei Zhoupu's face covered in sweat, he knew without asking, it was all his doing.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was confused for a moment and caused a serious mistake. Please punish me, Your Majesty." Meizhou Pu kowtowed to the ground, too ashamed to face anyone.

"If you only wanted to assassinate someone, I would not let you come all the way back to be punished. Tell me what happened. Tell me the truth."

If the emperor gives him a chance and lets him speak out himself, maybe the emperor will even reward him with an intact body.

But he didn't. He never expected that Charlotte had the ability to discover the secrets of his Swordman Valley in just one day and one night.

It was by chance that he met the strange man from the Swordman Valley.

His martial arts skills are unparalleled and no one can stop him.

He liked to learn martial arts, so he became the disciple of that strange man.

Later, the strange man disappeared mysteriously. He searched the canyon but couldn't find the whereabouts of the strange man. He accidentally discovered gold ore, iron ore and salt lake.

He had no idea at first, because the ore belonged to Mobei State and private mining was not allowed. He also knew the consequences of private mining.

He used his power to send all the exiled prisoners to the Swordsman Valley. No one noticed. It was not difficult for him to get these people to serve him.

He reported to the court, saying that most of the prisoners died of thirst or illness on the way to the barren land.

For five or six years, the exiled prisoners and yamen runners have not left the valley.

Later, Aunt Mei gave birth to a little prince, and his mind began to become active again.

They recruited some strong men from the local area to mine for a period of three years. At the end of the period, they gave each man 200 taels of silver as bait to lure them into the canyon.

He transported the mined gold and pure iron to the underground castle in Western Xinjiang.

Be prepared so that it can be used someday.

"I trained the swordsman just to protect myself and my family. As for other things, I don't know."

"Since General Mei won't tell the truth, let the facts speak for themselves."

"Bring Luo Yang up here." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Meizhou Pu's face turned green. He was lying there shaking with fear.

While Xia Luo was sleeping in the space, the emperor sent Xiao Dezi to lead more than 3,000 Jinyiwei and secret guards to control everyone in the canyon.

Several witnesses were brought to the palace, including Luo Yang.

After all, Luo Yang had been an official, and he had a strong ability to respond. The fake prince could not be relied upon, and his own family was almost exiled twice by him alone. He would never be stupid again.

He recounted the whole story of how they were not exiled, but were taken by officers and soldiers to the depths of the canyon to mine.

He also reported several people who had contact with the outside world. There was also the matter of Meizhou Pu doing business with foreigners. He found out a lot of information through communication with officers and soldiers and reported it to the emperor truthfully.

The emperor showed mercy and allowed Luo Yang to continue mining in Jianxia Valley with these exiled prisoners. All prisoners were shackled. They were not allowed to leave the valley during their sentences. Luo Yang's family was released, and those who wanted to live in the valley were given a certain amount of silver. Those who did not want to stay in the valley were settled in nearby mountain villages.

Those strong men who wanted to live in the valley were allowed to start a family and a career. Those who did not want to live here were given a sum of money by the government as travel expenses to return home.

Meizhou Pu was handed over to the Censorate and the Dali Temple for joint trial. The trial will begin soon.

Situ Jin was appointed as the general of Xijiang to guard the area. The emperor had his own selfish motives in sending his son. Meizhou Pu had hidden so much gold and pure iron in Xijiang, and it was most appropriate for his son to retrieve them.

Concubine Mei was banished to the cold palace, and the little prince was raised by Concubine Xi.

When Situ Jin saw Xia Luo was also in the hall, he knew that his young wife had made another contribution.

He rubbed against Charlotte and touched her little hand.

Charlotte had already noticed his burning gaze out of the corner of her eye.

This is a real father who lets his son go wherever there is money to be made.

"My dear ministers, how do I treat you normally?" The emperor suddenly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty's grace is immense. I am deeply grateful!" Everyone bowed their hands to the ground.

"The annual salary is enough for you to have food and clothing. If you do some good deeds, I will reward you a lot. Only those who are not satisfied will take unusual paths."

"Okay, I'm tired too. Crown Prince and Princess Huilan will stay. You all may leave. Go back and think carefully about what I've said."

"Thank you for your teachings, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave!" All the ministers withdrew.

"My son, there is now Lord Leng, the director of the General Administration of Customs, on the coast. But he is old and unable to do the job. You should appoint an official to replace Lord Leng and let him be his deputy."

"Let the prefect Cao Wenshan go over. From a personal perspective, he is Luo Luo's benefactor. From an official perspective, he is an honest official. The Supervisor of the General Administration of Customs must be this person."

"The person the emperor has chosen must be right."

"Xiao Dezi, draft an edict!"

Cao Wenshan became the director of the General Administration of Customs.

The county magistrate Shi Jiande was appointed as the prefect of the prefectural city.

The legal advisor took over the position of county magistrate.

Charlotte was listening nearby, thinking that the father and son had probably already made this plan in advance.

This is a promise to those who helped her. Charlotte understood it.

"Princess Huilan, I didn't say anything in the court. You and Jin'er should go to Western Xinjiang together and deal with things quickly. Then I will send a general to replace you. You will be a 15-year-old girl next year, and this is a big deal. You must come back before the New Year."

Yes, Charlotte will be fifteen next year.

"Yes, I obey your command!"

"From now on, when no one is around, you must call me father." The emperor said to Charlotte with a smile on his face.

"Father!" Xia Luo said in a low voice, looking at Situ Jin from time to time.

"When you come of age next year, we will hold a grand wedding. Let all the people in Mobei bless us." Situ Jin looked at Xia Luo lovingly.

"I'm tired. You guys go and have some rest, and leave early tomorrow. I'll talk to your mother." The emperor left tactfully.

"I need to go back to the manor to let them take down their guard. Do you want to go back or come with me?"

"Let me go with you. We haven't seen the children for a long time." Situ Jin didn't want to leave Charlotte at all.

Xia Luo took Situ Jin to the temple where the beggars lived again.

She was going to Xinjiang to make arrangements for these beggars.

As soon as they entered the temple gate, the bearded man saw them.

"I said, little fairy, is everything alright?"

"Good things happen to good people."

The beggars all came over to ask about his well-being.

"Do you want to eat without working, or do some work to get enough food? Don't worry about the answer. Come to my farm tonight and tell me."
