"I... I'm guilty!" His tone was calm and there was no emotion at all.
"Huh! It's good to know! Now, your brother is interceding for you, what do you think?!"
Wang Fengshan was shocked and said in a low voice, "Everyone is guilty, and the fault lies in the merits of the officials!"
Eight big characters show your determination.
Emperor Rongcheng narrowed his eyes slightly and finally made a decision.
"Now that I know the crime, I will replace your brother and manage the overall coordination of the Royal Forest Army! Discuss anything with Qin Zhuo! As for Commander Wang, I know that he is old and this expedition is also unavoidable, so I will help you!"
The two brothers were stunned and then hurriedly saluted.
No matter what, the glory of the Wang family was saved. Wang Shujun sighed and looked at his younger brother with a smile.
Wang Fengshan, on the other hand, had mixed emotions.
For a long time, he had also envied his brother, enviing him for being able to take charge of the Imperial Guards in the capital safely and comfortably, unlike him, who could only live in the outside world.
But he almost forgot that when his brother was young, he was stationed outside the Great Wall for many years and experienced countless hardships...
Wang Fengshan looked at his brother, his eyes finally firmed up.
After all those who deserved awards were given, Emperor Rongcheng looked at Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang and waved his hand to let everyone else go out.
Wen Ranran raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Rongcheng, but saw something extraordinary in his eyes.
The emperor's suspicion and wariness quietly disappeared.
"Ran Ran, this time you and the Queen... have made great contributions... I don't know how to reward you... I have to say that you look exactly like her when she was young..." Rong Cheng
Di sighed, looked into Wen Ranran's eyes, and finally let go of his last trace of caution.
"Prime Minister Wen found me a few days ago and expressed his intention to resign...I agreed. I issued the imperial edict earlier. Now, you are also a legitimate Crown Princess, so you don't have to look at me with such fear.
"
Wen Ranran nodded and complained in her heart: It's not that I don't want to look at you like this, it's because I'm afraid that you will faint from anger after hearing about Xia Lishuang's follow-up actions.
"Thank you, Father!" Wen Ranran said softly.
Dad's resignation must have something to do with him, right? The Han family has fallen, but the Jiang family has wisely protected itself.
Prime Minister Wen's resignation at this time also dispelled the emperor's wariness.
"But Father, can I give you some advice?" Wen Ranran blinked and decided to get some benefits before Emperor Rongcheng was angered to death.
"Um?"
"For example... give me and my mother a promotion or something?"
Emperor Rongcheng: "..."
"I will consider this!"
Wen Ranran thanked her and then walked out briskly.
I hope that because of the victory, the emperor will be in a good mood and Xia Lishuang will not be scolded too badly...
Wen Ranran looked at Xia Lishuang with a calm face, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
It is true that Xia Lishuang has made great contributions, from Sichuan and Shu to Lingnan, and then to northern Xinjiang... But all of this is based on Emperor Rongcheng's belief that Xia Lishuang is his son.
Once he returned to the palace and the throne, Emperor Rongcheng was still the king who had exhausted all his powers.
Therefore, he is afraid of Xia Lishuang's bloodline.
There was silence in the palace. Emperor Rongcheng looked at Xia Lishuang, stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.
"A surprise attack on Sichuan and Shu was carried out, and a secret visit was made to Pinglingnan... Now you are the protector of Northern Xinjiang. You have stopped fighting and minimized losses. You are already the crown prince, how do you want me to reward you?"
