Free "Maid" (21)

The imperial capital is very lively.

When the Lord Protector and the Lord Protector's new uncle Zhang Feng go to court three days after their wedding.

However, the emperor also dropped a major piece of news, which shocked the Lord Protector into a state of dizziness.

"Dear ladies, I have something happy to share with you today."

"Some time ago, General Protector led his troops to the southwest, changed defenses, and took the initiative to attack Xirong. General Xirong took the lead. At present, Xirong has surrendered and submitted documents of surrender, and General Protector has also returned to his troops.

Return to court."

This news immediately caused the entire court to explode.

what happened?

Change of defense? When did this happen? What about the people who protect the country?

Wouldn't they all be killed by the Protector General?

And how many people did the Protector General bring? There must be no less. Otherwise, how could they capture the 100,000-strong Protector's men? Then why was there no movement at all? They didn't receive any news.

?

It would be absolutely impossible to kill all the 100,000 troops left behind by the Protector. Although the Protector acted arrogantly and domineeringly, those soldiers were all meritorious officials of the country.

If we do that, neither the emperor nor the general who protects the country will have a good reputation.

Many ministers began to turn pale.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War was also anxious. He was originally from the Protectorate faction.

He walked out quickly: "Your Majesty, the general led the troops to change the defense. Why didn't the ministers and others not know? Also, where did the soldiers who were originally stationed go?"

The emperor looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War with leisurely leisure. This man was once the number one scholar in martial arts and was promoted by him personally. However, in more than ten years, he turned to the Lord Protector.

Now that he saw this man looking so impatient, the emperor felt inexplicably relieved.

"The general protecting the country went to the southwest to obey my orders. I don't know. I have to inform you, Minister of War, to do things. Also, were you questioning me just now?"

"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"

The emperor didn't care about this trivial matter at this time: "The original garrison has been escorted home by the general protecting the country, and those generals have been dispatched to northern Xinjiang."

"The one hundred thousand soldiers and horses have also been rewarded by the general who protects the country according to their merits, distributed with silver coins, escorted back to their hometown, and arranged to work in the Yamen or other places, or go home to farm the fields."

"What are you afraid of, Master Shangshu, in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will kill those people? I have never been a person who kills donkeys. Don't you know how I have behaved since I came to the throne? Question me like this, but I know how to do it.

Even if you are unhappy, my patience is limited. I am willing to give you a chance, but you must not waste my good intentions."

"It has always been me who has been pressing every step of the way. I am grateful to every soldier who fought for the country, and I hope they can live a good life. I hope they will not disappoint me."

"By the way, in fifteen days, the general who protects the country will return to the court. At that time, we will greet our great spirit God of War at the gate of the city."

The emperor laughed and announced his resignation.

He just felt refreshed.

After being the emperor for so many years, it was the first time that I felt that there was nothing oppressive on my head anymore.

At this time, the Protector seemed to have lost his energy and spirit.

He knew that he would lose this battle completely.

Xirong is not easy to fight, otherwise he would not have been working in the southwest for five years. It is not that he did not work hard, but in such a short period of time, he frightened the opponent and scattered him, which is enough to show that this great protector of the country has

The general is really capable.

The soldiers in his hand were gone, so he was simply turned into an empty shell?

Although Zhang Feng didn't have much knowledge, but seeing the look on the Protector's face and what he just heard, he knew that his father-in-law was probably going to lose his power.

This made him frown a little.

After all, he had placed all his treasure on the Protector of the Country, so he married Guan Jinglan.

Otherwise, if the emperor wanted to recruit him as his consort, he should have chosen the princess.

Damn it, if it had been earlier, he wouldn't have married Guan Jinglan.

However, Zhang Feng also knew that even if the Protector of the Kingdom lost power, he would still be a giant. Naturally, he kept his mood in order so that no one could see it.

On the same day, Guan Jinglan was called back to the Protector's Mansion.

The Protector was not worried about anything else. Since the emperor had hinted something in the court, he would naturally not touch him.

But you know your own affairs.

Some of the things he has done over the years are not good.

The children in the family are acting wantonly in the imperial capital. From today on, they must be restrained.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to make a fuss one by one and go in one by one.

Moreover, at the beginning he was worried that King Jing would take care of the emperor's worries. The few people there were all good young men. If they were trained and became generals, they would be a threat to him.

He was worried that someone would train a group of people to replace him as he got older, so he made arrangements early to kill them all. At that time, news came back that Fu Mingzhu was also there, and he had issued the killing order.

.

But in the end, none of his subordinates came back, but Fu Mingzhu and Lu San came back.

This is enough to explain everything.

These tricks are very fatal.

Among the family, his daughter was the most willful, so he naturally wanted to give her personal instructions to prevent her from getting into trouble and he would not be able to save her.

Guan Jinglan and Zhang Feng have been in harmony with each other these days, with a rosy face and a smile.

Seeing what his daughter said, the Protector was relieved.

"Lan Lan, dad called you back today to tell you something."

"During the court meeting this morning, the emperor said something. Daddy has no soldiers anymore. Even your uncles and uncles have all been dispatched to the north. That is not daddy's territory. Although daddy has military talismans in his hands now, they have already been sent to the north.

Being sidelined.”

"Lan Lan, Daddy knows your temperament. You are the most straightforward and can't bear to be angry. But Daddy wants to tell you that from today on, we must be more patient, think more, and live a peaceful life."

Guan Shanhe looked at Guan Jinglan intently, wanting her to know the seriousness of the matter.

Guan Jinglan was stunned for a moment at first, and then her face turned pale.

In these years, she has been running rampant in the imperial capital, and she naturally knows what she relies on, that is, the princess and the princess, and she does not take it seriously.

But if her father is no longer as glorious as before, and she is just a duke's daughter, how can she compare with the princesses and princesses?

She felt uncomfortable when she thought about being ridiculed by those people when she attended a banquet or something in the future.

The whole person seemed a little dazed.

Guan Shanhe felt a pain in his heart. His daughter had never been wronged before, but from now on, there were some things that she had to endure even if she felt wronged.

In fact, Your Majesty is a wise king. Over the years, if he had not been so stubborn and arrogant, leading the troops in an orderly manner, and His Majesty wanted to take back the military talisman and he readily handed it back, wouldn't he have ended up in this situation?

Will the family members not be so lawless?

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.
