"Oh, the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion is so arrogant. In my palace, I have to look at the mood of a young lady from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion before I can say anything!"

Feng Qixin said sarcastically with a fake smile: "Why, when did our Beifeng country change its surname to Ji, but I didn't know about it?"

Ji Chou was so frightened that his face trembled, and he immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, please understand. I have never had any intention of disobeying you. It is because I did not educate you properly that I raised such an ignorant kid..."

"I beg Your Majesty to forgive my granddaughter's crime! I beg Your Majesty to show mercy..."

Ji Liezhou and Kong Shuya were also shocked. The couple knew that their daughter must have caused the trouble, but they did not expect that the emperor would put such a big accusation on them!

The two of them also knelt down hurriedly. A strange color flashed in Ji Liezhou's eyes, but his face was full of panic. "Your Majesty, it was my fault for speaking nonsense. I am young and cannot speak. I beg Your Majesty to forgive my unintentional mistake..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I really did not mean it. Please forgive me..." Ji Furong had recovered from the emperor's anger. Seeing her grandfather and parents coming over, she felt relieved and immediately began to beg for mercy again.

"Your Majesty, Ji Furong's rebellion is my fault. I beg Your Majesty to spare the life of this ignorant granddaughter of yours, considering that I have lost two sons while guarding the northern border..."

Ji Chou's old eyes were filled with tears, and he kowtowed heavily to Feng Qixin, "Your Majesty, my two sons died in battle at the border, so I was a little more lenient with my only youngest son and his children."

"So much so that the granddaughter I raised made a big mistake. It's all my fault!"

Feng Qixin's eyes flickered, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "I know that the Wu'an Marquis's family is full of loyal warriors, and many of them died in battle to defend the border of our Beifeng Kingdom, but!"

"Marquis Wu'an, do you know what your granddaughter told me?! She repeatedly emphasized to me that you, Marquis Wu'an, are a peerless hero of Feng Country, so if I don't forgive her for telling me to shut up and interrupting her, then I will be a tyrant who has disappointed my meritorious ministers!"

Ji Furong was so frightened that her whole body went limp. She screamed in retort, "I didn't, I didn't! Why did the emperor wrongly accuse me?!"

She no longer remembered whether this was in the palace or in front of the emperor. She had no manners or rules as a young lady from a marquis's mansion and started screaming at the emperor like a madman.

She is afraid of death. The emperor is accusing her of a crime that she does not even know about. She is usually a bit arrogant and domineering, but she is not really stupid.

If any of the words the emperor just said were directed at her, she would really be dead!

Ji Furong was regretting it so much that her intestines turned green. Why did she have to mock the Grand Tutor's Mansion? Why did she have to say those words to Yu Menghua and her sister? !

It’s all Yu Menghua’s fault...Yes!

It's her fault!

If it weren't for the affair between Yu Menghua's sister and the second prince, she wouldn't have come to watch the fun. If she didn't come to watch the fun, she wouldn't have the chance to see everyone mocking the Yu family, and she wouldn't have thought of stepping on them.

There would be no chance that she would offend the Holy Face!

This is all Yu Menghua's fault! ! It's all because of her, it's all her fault!

Ji Furong turned all her fear and terror into hatred, and all this hatred fell on Yu Menghua.

Yu Menghua: This train of thought is really strange. What does it have to do with her? Is this forcing her to take the blame? ?

Seeing that his eldest granddaughter still couldn't see the situation clearly at this time, despair flashed in Ji Chou's eyes. He closed his eyes tightly and when he opened them again, everything was dark. He knew what the emperor wanted!

"Your Majesty, I am old and no longer have the energy to guard the border for Feng State. I only have one son left, Zhou'er, and Zhou'er is not good at military..."

"Father..." Ji Liezhou looked heartbroken, but for the sake of his daughter's life he could only call his old father in a low voice.

Kong Shuya's eyes flashed, her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.

Ji Chou bit his gums until they bled, and without even looking at his son, he continued with a ruthless heart: "This old minister is willing to return the military power to the emperor, and I just want to live out my days in the capital!"

"I also beg the prince to spare the life of my troublesome granddaughter for the sake of my lifelong guarding the border for my country of Feng. From now on, I will strictly discipline her and will not let her be so shameless and ignorant again!"

Ji Chou kowtowed heavily to Feng Qixin, his voice no longer deep and full of vicissitudes, "I beg the emperor to grant my wish!"

"Please grant your blessing, Your Majesty!" Ji Liezhou and Kong Shuya also understood that this was the only way out at this point, so they knelt down and begged Feng Qixin with their heads raised.

Feng Qixin finally showed a faint smile on his face, "What are you talking about, Lord Ji?! The Wu'an Marquis' Mansion has been full of loyal ministers for generations, how could I do something that would make the loyal ministers feel disappointed!"

"Have you thought it over, Lord Ji? Are you really going to stop commanding the troops and give up the military power?"

How could Ji Chou not know that the emperor was testing him? He replied firmly, "Yes! I am old and no longer have the energy to handle military affairs. I ask Your Majesty to select a capable person to take over the 200,000 troops in my hands!"

"Please, Your Majesty, please grant me your permission!"

"Okay!" Feng Qixin took a few steps forward and helped Ji Chou up. He sighed and said, "Old General, our Feng Kingdom is really missing a pillar of support without you at the border..."

"But I can't force you to do anything. The old general is too old to go back to the border to suffer. How about this? I will have someone announce it tomorrow at court: Ji Liezhou, the military historian, is promoted to the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Ji Chou's expression did not change much. He was a Marquis of Wu'an who held 200,000 soldiers, but he only bought a third-rank assistant minister title for his only son with 200,000 soldiers. It was unclear whether he suffered a loss or took advantage...

Ji Chou smiled bitterly in his heart. It was nothing. The emperor had long intended to deprive him of his military power. This time it just happened to be the right time.

"I, your humble servant, would like to thank the Emperor for His Grace on behalf of my son! Long live the Emperor!"

Ji Liezhou followed in his father's footsteps and immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support. I will serve you and the Feng Kingdom with my whole heart! Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the emperor! "

Although Ji Furong was domineering in her daily life, she was not hopelessly stupid. When the dust settled, she realized how big a disaster she had caused this time.

He just said one wrong thing, why did he hand over the military power of 200,000 soldiers of his own army?

Would no one be afraid of her, the eldest daughter of the Wu'an Marquis's mansion, from now on? Would her grandfather no longer be the majestic Wu'an Marquis?
