Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

"Good! The Luo family's cultivation of you in the past was worth it! The Luo family has not fallen. When I, Luo Jixun, return, I will definitely restore the Luo family to its former glory! Similarly, you are indispensable for our achievements and wealth!" Luo Jixun immediately gave these people good hope.

"Thank you General Luo for your support!" several people said in unison.

"General Luo, General Ji is here." Luo Jixun's subordinates came to report.

"General, could it be that General Ji heard some rumors and came here to cause trouble for you?" Someone sounded a little worried.

"What is he afraid of? Does he think that Ji Zhengchun can take responsibility for everything he did? If he irritates us, we will cut off his source of trouble!"

"Don't be reckless. You stay here first. I'll go see General Ji." Luo Jixun gave the order and turned to walk out.

General Ji was in the front yard. He knew that he could not keep the old members of the Luo family, so he just did Luo Jixun a favor.

"General Ji, what do you want to talk to me about?" Luo Jixun walked into the room and asked.

"General Luo, I came to see you because I do have something to discuss with you. Let's use the reception room of the County Magistrate's Mansion to talk about this matter. General Luo, please take a seat."

Luo Jixun sat down, and General Ji discovered that Luo Jixun was sitting in the main seat, and a trace of emotion flashed quickly in his eyes.

Luo Jixun had just returned from exile and was cleared of the charges. He merely took over the position his father Luo Heng held during his lifetime. His official rank was still a notch lower than that of General Ji.

However, the relationship between the emperor and Luo Jixun is extraordinary.

Not to mention that General Ji would not argue with Luo Jixun about such trivial matters of status and position, it is estimated that few civil and military officials in the court would point out his mistakes to his face.

After all, as long as the emperor is firmly on the throne, it is still unknown what position Luo Jixun will eventually hold.

"General Luo, there are some former members of the Luo family in my army. Now that General Luo has returned, I would like to take this opportunity to have these former members of the Luo family serve under General Luo. What do you think, General Luo?"

Luo Jixun didn't expect that Ji Zhenghui would actually release the person on his own initiative.

When he was still young, he heard his grandfather and father discussing Ji Zhenghui, saying that he was the most cunning of the generals with heavy troops and the one who could not be fully trusted.

"The old members of the Luo family have been under General Ji's command for so many years. General Ji knows them best. Are you afraid that these people still have ulterior motives towards General Ji and are you in a hurry to drive them out?"

"No, no, no, General Luo, you misunderstood. We are both in the emperor's camp, so we naturally have to support each other. When the general returns, he naturally wants to revive the former prestige of the Luo family. Just consider it as a favor I'm doing you. I hope you will take care of me in the future." Ji Zhenghui was very humble.

If the person in front of him was Marquis Zhenyuan, he would never say that.

However, the person in front of him was the young and energetic Luo Jixun. Apart from the hardships he had suffered during his exile, he had not yet undergone any real tempering.

The emperor has no one left to use.

"Since General Ji has said so, I will accept General Ji's kindness, but I still need to find a reasonable reason for this matter, otherwise, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will criticize me."

"General Luo, don't worry, leave this matter to me." General Ji took charge of the matter alone.

"Then there is General Laoji."

"Now that the affairs of Yongcheng have been properly dealt with, we still have to return to the imperial capital to report to the emperor."

"Okay." Luo Jixun replied softly.

This trip to Yongcheng went very smoothly for Luo Jixun.

Several generals from the old Luo family have handed him the roster of their subordinates. After so many years of secretly expanding their power in the army, they now have more than 20,000 men.

As long as the emperor gives the order, Luo Jixun will be the general of these 20,000 people.

He can take these 20,000 people with him and be ready to be deployed at any time.

Before Luo Jixun and Ji Zhenghui returned to the imperial capital, the news had already been passed back.

When the Empress Dowager received the news, she couldn't help but snort coldly.

“With just these 20,000 people, you think you can fight against me? Even if the emperor transferred them outside the imperial capital, they might not have the strength to fight against the imperial guards.”

The Imperial Guards are the elite among the elite, guarding the Imperial City. In addition to the careful selection of personnel, they are also equipped with the best equipment.

The Empress Dowager recently seized all the newly made weapons from the Foundry and stored them in the warehouse of the Imperial Guard.

So, when she heard the news, she was not at all panicked.

At about the same time, Ji Chuhe also received news from Yongcheng.

"No matter what you do, if someone benefits, someone else will bear the consequences. Luo Jixun and these people are here to bear these consequences."

After Ji Chuhe finished speaking, he burned the letter.

Presumably, the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion had also received the news at this time.

After all, the relationship between the Lord of Yongcheng and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion is very close.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion is discussing this matter.

"Grandfather, we put in so much effort but ended up with such a result. Ji Zhenghui actually escaped so easily!" It was Wei Yu who spoke. He was very dissatisfied with this result.

"This matter is not without gain. The emperor still has to rely on the military power in Ji Zhenghui's hands to compete with the Empress Dowager. He will not let anything happen to Ji Zhenghui at this time. Sooner or later, the military power in Ji Zhenghui's hands will fall into Luo Jixun's hands." Duke Weiguo spoke slowly.

Wei Lin nodded, "Father is right. Let's wait and see what happens next."

……

General Ji hurried back to the imperial capital and immediately met with Xiao Wenxuan.

In addition to reporting to Xiao Wenxuan on the handling of Ji Zhengchun's situation, he mainly wanted to see his wife and daughter.

He took the initiative to give up the old members of the Luo family to Luo Jixun, also for the emperor to see.

This favor also served as a bargaining chip for him to rescue his wife and daughter.

"General Ji, the unrest in Yongcheng was able to be quelled so quickly, all thanks to your swift and decisive approach and your willingness to sacrifice your own personal interests for the sake of justice." Xiao Wenxuan gave his affirmation and praise.

"Your Majesty, I am responsible for negligence. I didn't expect that my cousin would do so many mistakes under my nose. I am guilty." Ji Zhenghui immediately knelt down, looking terrified.

"General Ji, please stand up. It's never too late for anyone to open their eyes and see the true face of those people as long as they are deceived."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for forgiving me. I am deeply grateful." Ji Zhenghui wiped away his tears.

"Your Majesty, this incident must have been deliberately done by someone, targeting me. Fortunately, I did not do anything illegal, so no disaster occurred. Now, my wife is still implicated by me and is trapped in the palace. Please, Your Majesty, show mercy and let my wife leave the palace to reunite with me."

"General Ji, you don't know that Madam Ji was not trapped in the palace because of you, but because of the disrespect of the late emperor by both of you."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. In fact, this is just an excuse. Please save my wife." General Ji knelt down again.

"General Ji, rest assured. I will let Madam Ji leave the palace as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
