Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

Seeing this, Qi Sui'an immediately advised for Duke Shen: "Your Majesty, Duke Shen has worked diligently and made great contributions to our country. His family has made outstanding contributions, and several generations have died on the frontier. Isn't it too disappointing to make such a hasty decision?"

A trace of anger flashed across the emperor's face, and he stared at him with burning eyes.

"Are you questioning my decision?"

Qi Suian understood that it was not appropriate to use a harsh tone at this moment.

He said sincerely: "Your Majesty, Duke Shen is loyal and has no intention of treason. No matter what, it is better to find out now. It is not too late to talk about it later. Now that the northern desert border is ready to make a move, don't fall into the enemy's tricks."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and his voice was extremely cold.

"You are in the capital, and he is at the border. How do you know what he is thinking?"

Qi Suian didn't know what went wrong. He didn't expect the emperor's attitude to be so firm. He could only persuade him kindly.

"Your Majesty, there is no rumor about this matter. We must verify it before we can bring Duke Shen back. Now that he has suddenly left the border without a general to lead the army, isn't this opening our door wide open to the Northern Desert?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I have already chosen He Weiyuan to take over temporarily."

"He Weiyuan?" Qi Suian was searching for this person in his mind.

This man was quite trustworthy when he was young. He wiped out bandits several times and was promoted all the way to the rank of General of the Escort Cavalry. In fact, it was also because he had the support of a noble family behind him, but he had absolutely no talent for leading an army.

Such a person would not even be thought of under normal circumstances, but when he was suddenly mentioned by the emperor, he must have been mentioned by someone.

Well this time, it's a complete conspiracy.

"Your Majesty, this man is not talented enough and is not worthy of leading an army. It is better to put this matter aside for now and give me ten days to investigate it thoroughly." Qi Sui'an understood and tried hard to fight for it.

The emperor sneered.

"Ten days. If the Shen family army and Beimo collude, within ten days, this border line can be pushed to the bottom of my capital!"

Qi Suian wanted to argue further.

The emperor saw his hesitant expression and said with a hint of threat in his tone: "Are you still going to disobey my order?"

Qi Sui'an finally lowered his head: "I dare not! This matter is of great importance. Please give me a few days to prepare."

"Five days later, rush to the border secretly." The emperor said coldly.

"I understand." Qi Sui'an narrowed his eyes.

He has been ill these days, and there has been a lot of turmoil in the court. Many people took the opportunity to cause trouble. Did they really think he was dead?

"Go away." The emperor waved his hand calmly.

Qi Sui'an turned around and walked away.

There is still a long time. If we don't put the evidence in front of the emperor, he won't believe it. Instead of engaging in meaningless verbal disputes here, it is better to find evidence one day earlier.

When the emperor was in a state of confusion, the *** arrived.

She served him hot soup and tea, and asked with concern, "Father, why do you look so unhappy? I saw the prince go out just now. Did he make you angry again?"

"Shaohua, don't worry, it's not about you." The emperor comforted her.

*** smiled faintly and took the hot soup out of the food box.

"Then it's about the government affairs? Father, please tell me about it. Maybe I can help you analyze it."

"How do you know about state affairs?" The emperor laughed.

"Although I am only a woman, I have heard a lot of rumors in the capital. Maybe I can really help my father."

After thinking for a moment, the emperor briefly explained what had just happened.

"In this court, all the ministers have their own ulterior motives. The regent king is so powerful that he is probably the same. He actually pleaded for mercy for the traitor."

*** was slightly startled and the hot soup in his hand spilled out.

The emperor noticed that something was wrong with her, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

*** came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "The prince may not have intended to plead for the rebel, in fact, the prince and the princess are very close!"

"What?" The emperor frowned, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

Both of them had attended banquets in the palace before, but they had never acted so familiar with each other. One of them was the regent with great power, and the other was a leading general stationed at the border.

If these two people collude secretly, then the Daqi Empire will be in danger.

"How did you know?" the emperor asked with a frown.

"Didn't the princess open a restaurant? The prince often went there, and the two of them drank and talked happily. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, because the queen mother was seriously ill, there was no family banquet in the palace, so the two of them celebrated in the restaurant. I happened to see them, so I discovered their affair."

*** felt more and more wronged as she spoke, and began to sob slowly: "He refused the marriage probably because of the princess."

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" The emperor frowned.

"I originally thought that this was a private matter, and that he would naturally forget about the princess after they got married. I didn't expect that in order to save the princess, he would actually go against his father and protect a traitor. That's why I told the story about the relationship between the two of them."

*** said, feeling heartbroken: "I originally thought that he distinguished between public and private affairs, but I never thought that he would disregard justice for the sake of personal feelings!"

The emperor pondered for a long time, and this incident obviously sounded a warning bell in his heart.

Sending him to the border this time is like letting a tiger return to the mountains, isn't it?

He was suddenly shocked, but the imperial decree had already been issued, and it was not easy to change it, otherwise it would shock them. After thinking for a long time, he said to the emperor, "You should leave first. I will see the minister later."

*** was stunned for a moment, nodded, and quickly retreated.

She looked back at the magnificent and majestic Qinzheng Hall and clenched her fists tightly.

Qi Sui'an, do you want me to trample you into the mud before you will love me?

The emperor met He Weiyuan in the Qinzheng Hall.

He Weiyuan was tall and strong, with a scar on his face, looking a little fierce. He knelt on the ground, greeted the emperor and paid his respects.

The emperor was upset and asked him to stand up: "My dear He, how are you preparing to take over the border affairs?"

"Your Majesty, I am ready and have reported the plan to the Ministry of War. I can set out at any time to replace the rebels and ensure the safety of our border." He Weiyuan vowed.

After hearing these words, the emperor felt much more at ease.

"Okay, the date has been set. We will set off in five days. Remember not to make too much noise. Also, I have a secret decree for you now. Remember, don't tell anyone."

He Weiyuan immediately knelt on the ground, his voice as loud as a bell and extremely firm.

"Only at the Emperor's command!"
