The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The weather was hot and the emperor didn't want to move so far.

Wen Tingshen half persuaded and half coaxed him: "Your Majesty, you haven't been to the military camp for a long time. Take this opportunity to take a good look at how our Daqi cavalry is training.

"It's so hot, and the soldiers are still training. If they knew that you care about them and went to visit them in the barracks despite the heat, I wonder how touched they would be. They will surely march forward bravely on the battlefield in the future, and live up to your earnest expectations and trust."

The emperor finally went hesitantly.

He felt somewhat helped by Wen Tingshen's persuasion. Of course, he was still worried that if he didn't go, Wen Tingshen's sharp tongue would make him lose face.

The Censor often does not give people face. He is too upright and incorruptible, and it is rare to persuade him like this.

Before the emperor arrived, the news had already reached the military camp, and Chu Ren immediately gathered people.

A team of fifty cavalrymen, all of whom were trained by Song Ju, and they all rode war horses trained by Song Ju.

The other cavalry team, also consisting of fifty people, was trained by other people.

The two teams gathered and ran to the position in front of the platform at the same time. The emperor and his court officials were watching from the platform.

Chu Ren came up to the stage and reported: "Your Majesty, those with red scarves on their arms are the soldiers trained by Song Ju, and the yellow ones are from another team. Both teams have now assembled. Please give the order to start."

The emperor sat on a large carved chair under a yellow umbrella and waved his hand: "Pass my order, the two teams will fight!"

When the horn sounded, the two sides immediately rushed forward and fought each other.

Dongfang Shuo, the prime minister and others watched intently, hoping that the team of soldiers with yellow scarves on their arms would win.

In the end, they watched helplessly as they were knocked off their horses one by one and suffered a horrible defeat.

Dongfang Shuo could not accept such a situation at all. He pursed his lips and held on, always holding on to hope. However, he saw the Red Cavalry charging forward bravely, killing decisively and being extremely brave.

The Yellow Cavalry was no match at all.

It's so tragic.

It was like witnessing the scene of the Daqi cavalry fighting against the Northern Zhou cavalry in the past. The gap between the two sides was too big.

Many court officials present, including the emperor himself, had never been to the battlefield in the north. They had only heard that the Northern Zhou cavalry was powerful, but they did not know they could be so powerful.

Suddenly, they realized how difficult it was for the Zhenbei Marquisate, which had guarded the northern border for generations, to keep the powerful cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty outside Changqing City.

It's not just about breaking arms and legs, but about disregarding life and death at all times.

Xie Lin was standing next to the emperor. He sighed casually, "The people of Northern Zhou are really good at training cavalry. No wonder the Northern Zhou has grown stronger and stronger over the past decade and has repeatedly invaded the border of Daqi. If Song Ju can train Daqi cavalry for many years, Daqi will be able to defeat Northern Zhou in no time. Otherwise, it will be impossible."

The sound was neither high nor low, just right for the emperor's ears.

The emperor frowned slightly and looked at Xie Lin.

Xie Lin looked like he was just coming to his senses, and quickly knelt down: "I have spoken rudely, Your Majesty, please punish me. Song Ju is a prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Your Majesty must kill him to serve as a warning to others."

Wen Tingshen also knelt down, but held the opposite view: "Your Majesty, although Mr. Xie's words just now may seem to be a way to boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige, he is telling the truth. The cavalry of our Daqi is too weak, which is why we are repeatedly threatened by the Northern Zhou army.

“If a statement is true, but we think it is meant to boost others’ morale and undermine our own prestige, and thus ignore the facts, we will fail miserably.

“Although Song Ju is a prince of Daqi, Princess Wuxi has already said that they were abandoned by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Northern Zhou royal family has a feud with them, including the murder of their mother and the expulsion. They can no longer return to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

"Song Ju has a talent for taming horses and training knights, and Sang Nong has a talent for repairing and digging canals. They are doing their best in their positions. I think they are gifts from heaven to Daqi. If used properly, they can strengthen Daqi. If they are killed, it would be like crushing a rare pearl, Your Majesty."

Dongfang Shuo was furious: "Just because they are capable, can we ignore the fact that they are spies? If they cause trouble in the future, who will bear the consequences?"

Wen Tingshen glanced at him and said, "Your Highness, what you said is exactly the same as what the Prime Minister said before. Lord Xie's answer to the Prime Minister is my answer. Your Highness should not have forgotten it, right?"

Dongfang Shuo was slightly stunned, then he remembered.

His uncle had spoken earlier of future sins.

Who can judge future events and people?

"Father, please don't listen to slander. Please think twice!" Dongfang Shuo, who was at his wit's end, had to go to the emperor for help.

The emperor looked at Xie Lin: "Master Xie, what do you think?"

Xie Lin said: "Your Majesty, even though Song Ju and Sang Nong are shining pearls with rare talents, they are still Northern Zhou people. We have too many soldiers in Daqi who died under the Northern Zhou cavalry.

"I think we should kill them to enhance the country's prestige and shock the world! Crush these two shining pearls. There must be countless pearls in the world waiting for the emperor to use them."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!" Wen Tingshen knelt forward and said, "At present, it seems that Song Ju and Sang Nong have not made any mistakes. Instead, they are meritorious people. Not only are they meritorious, but they are also talented. Killing them just because of their identities will not convince the public, and it will even scare talented people from all over the world and make them dare not come to pledge their loyalty to Da Qi.

"What Daqi will lose is not just Song Ju and Sang Nong, but hundreds of thousands of talents from all over the world. If it's just a loss, it's fine, but what if they go to pledge allegiance to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Western Rong Dynasty, or the Southern Qi Dynasty? Wouldn't that mean that their countries are strong while our country is weak?"

Xie Lin immediately put on a panicked expression: "Your Majesty, the situation Lord Wen described is indeed very likely to happen. It was my fault for not thinking it through before. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Dongfang Shuo and the Prime Minister both knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, if we release Song Ju, Sang Nong and others, other countries will follow the example of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and plant spies in our country. What should we do?"

Wen Tingshen: "Your Highness and the Prime Minister, can you provide evidence to prove that they are spies?"

Dongfang Shuo: "Master Wen, can you prove that they are not spies?"

Wen Tingshen: "The canal dug by Sang Nong saved tens of thousands of people in Shengjing City, which is evidence one; the soldiers trained by Song Ju are outstanding and invincible, which is evidence two; Princess Wuxi is blind and has no will to live, which is evidence three. What other evidence do you want, Your Highness and Prime Minister?"

Dongfang Shuo: "Maybe this is just their token of surrender!"

At this moment, a pair of eagles suddenly circled in from mid-air, attracting everyone's attention, and finally the eagles landed on Xie Lin's shoulders.

Xie Lin took the letter off Diao'er's leg, read it, and presented it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the spy I sent to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to investigate Zhou Mochi has returned with news."
