On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"Don't worry, Pei Qing is by the eldest master's side, and there are a group of good hands, so nothing will go wrong."

Cen Xiao stroked Shen Wantang and spoke softly.

But Ji Xunchuan's gaze just now seemed to have seen through all of Shen Wantang's thoughts.

"Miss." The man wielding the whip slowly walked forward and took off the mask on his face, revealing Bai Ge's cold face slowly.

"It's been done, you can go down first." Shen Wantang waved his hand.

Bai Ge glanced at Cen Xiao with a resentful look and said, "Miss, I will take you back to the mansion to rest."

Shen Wantang waved his hand: "It's not over yet, my father hasn't been rescued yet, I can't go back yet."

He then shook off Cen Xiao's hand, turned around and walked towards the imperial study.

Cen Xiao, who had been observing for a long time, straightened his clothes and smiled: "White Dove."

The white dove gave a ruthless glance and then turned and left.

Looking at Shen Wantang's back, Cen Xiao shook his head helplessly: "Sure enough, my vision is extremely good."

"The issue of Lu Mingfeng has been resolved, and what remains is the war in Mobei." Ji Xunchuan frowned, playing with the court beads in his hands, his frown never relaxing for a moment.

"In the past few days, I have received reports that people from Rong State have repeatedly provoked us on the border. It seems that they want us to send troops first." Cen Weiwu frowned.

People often say that the first to strike wins, but on the battlefield, if you strike first, you will give people something to talk about.

What's more, there is a huge gap in military strength between Rong and Dacheng. Although Rong has brave and good fighters, the soldiers it can use are far less than those of Dacheng.

If we send troops first, we will certainly be accused of bullying the weak, and our chances of success in future negotiations will be even less.

Snapped!

Ji Xunchuan threw the court beads in his hand on the table: "So, what do you think?"

"As long as winter clothes and food supplies are in place, I will set out for the Mobei border immediately. I have issued a military order and the war will be settled within three months!" Cen Weiwu knelt on the ground with a sonorous tone.

But in Ji Xunchuan's view, these words were a complete provocation.

A sneer suddenly flashed across his face, which had been cold for a long time, and he immediately threw the memorial in his hand in front of him: "Marquis Zhenbei, are you forcing me?"

Cen was unyielding and only kowtowed respectfully: "I have no such intention. What I said was all for the benefit of the people of the world."

After the words fell, Ji Xunchuan raised his head and laughed, then waved his hand: "Someone come!"

“Move Jiangzhou’s grain and money to Mobei. If people in Jiangzhou ask about it, just say that it is urgently needed by our Marquis Zhenbei and others can only wait.” Ji Xunchuan glanced at Cen Weiwu with fierce eyes.

The eunuch beside him received the order tremblingly, then turned and left.

Cen Weiwu was neither humble nor arrogant. He bowed his head and said in a sonorous tone: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then, under Ji Xunchuan's sharp eyes, he turned and left the imperial study.

Ji Xunchuan was filled with resentment. He picked up the memorial and threw it to the ground.

After venting for a while, I felt a little relieved.

"Xia Huai'en, regarding today's incident, how many people do you think I can use in the court?"

Ji Xunchuan let out a long sigh and regained his composure.

Xia Huai'en replied respectfully as usual, "In my humble opinion, it is still a long time before the next spring examination. If Your Majesty were to cut the staff at this time, I am afraid there would not be many people available."

Although it was disgusting to see those ministers turning against their own side at the critical moment, there was really no one available at the moment, so the matter could only be put on hold for the time being.

"I just saw that you were fearless in the face of danger. You have some of the spirit of a scholar." Ji Xunchuan's eyes fell on Xia Huai'en. He raised his eyebrows and felt satisfied.

Xia Huai'en lowered his head, and Ji Xunchuan didn't see his gaze.

"I am loyal to you, my Lord. To others..."

"Your Majesty! I, Shen Wantang, am here to plead guilty!"

Before Xia Huai'en could finish his words, a loud shout came from outside the door.

Ji Xunchuan slowly raised his head and frowned.

"Shen Wantang, the daughter of a guilty minister, has come to apologize to Your Majesty!" The voices outside the palace became louder and louder. Even if Ji Xunchuan wanted to ignore them, he couldn't.

"Your Majesty, the voice of the person outside the palace is shrill. Why don't you call her in and listen to what crime she wants to plead guilty to?"

Xia Huai'en made a suggestion.

Ji Xunchuan waved his hand, the door slowly opened, Shen Wantang came in and knelt on the ground.

"I, the daughter of a guilty minister, Shen Wantang, come to see Your Majesty. Today, Shen Wantang has come to plead guilty on behalf of my father."

Shen Wantang knelt on the ground, crying miserably.

"You have just achieved a great feat, so don't say anything else that makes you unhappy." Ji Xunchuan wanted to avoid the topic and put on a smile on his face.

But Shen Wantang didn't intend to find out. She frowned and said, "Your Majesty! I dare to ask Your Majesty for a reward for this great achievement."

"I know very well that my father is a criminal and will be executed soon. Your Majesty, can you spare my father's life for my sake?"

Shen Wantang's eyes were sharp.

Ji Xunchuan frowned, and his smile disappeared in an instant: "Your father formed a clique for personal gain and embezzled a lot of food and money. If I forgive him like this, I will be condoning this unhealthy trend!"

What about forming cliques for personal gain, what about embezzling food and wages, there is no shortage of excuses to accuse someone of a crime!

Now, everyone in this hall knows that General Shen is innocent, but after Ji Xunchuan said this, General Shen's innocence has become a capital crime.

With a bang, Shen Wantang fell heavily to his knees.

"Your Majesty! Please spare my father's life for the sake of my father's service to the emperor and for the sake of your servant's protection today!"

But Ji Xunchuan was already impatient and stood up suddenly.

"I am tired, please leave."

Then he turned and left, leaving only Shen Wantang who kept kowtowing, and Xia Huai'en who was kneeling beside him with eyes full of heartache.

Boom boom!

Thunder roared in the already gloomy sky, and heavy rain began to fall in an instant.

Shen Wantang walked alone in the corridor, letting the heavy rain wet his clothes.

Not far away, Xia Huai'en hurried forward with an umbrella, quickly opened another umbrella at hand, and handed it to Shen Wantang.

"Xia Huai'en, what do you think would happen if you were to obtain the merit of following the dragon?" Shen Wantang raised his head and asked in a low voice.

"It will bring honor to our family and bring glory to future generations." Xia Huai'en's heart and eyes were filled with worry.

After he finished speaking, Shen Wantang forced out a self-deprecating smile: "Yes, you are the descendant of the glorious family, but why do we have to face such a catastrophic disaster when it comes to my Shen family?"

In an instant, a loud thunder resounded through the sky.

"Since my father can support a new emperor, why can't I?" Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows, "I want to fight against this fate and rewrite this unfair destiny!"

Xia Huai'en looked around and fortunately there was no one around.

"I would like to lend you a helping hand, but do you have a candidate for the new emperor?"

"The former dynasty, the eldest prince."
