The King of War said coldly: "The Golden Armored Guards are also very majestic, much more majestic than my own soldiers, but if I remember correctly, the Golden Armored Guards were borrowed by the princess and Taizu to quell the banditry in the princess' fiefdom."
"The princess borrowed the money without repaying it, took the Golden Armor Guard as her own, and now she comes to show off her power in my palace?"
"If Taizu Quanxia knew anything about the princess's mischief, he wouldn't know how he felt."
Princess Liyang was extremely annoyed and glared at the King of War fiercely, "It seems that today's Hua Chao Banquet is destined to not make me feel comfortable. That's fine, I can just leave!"
"Wait a minute!" The War King said in a deep voice, "Don't you want to seek justice for your son? Now in front of everyone, we will make the matter clear. If your son is inexplicably beaten by my family Zimo, I will personally make amends to you.
.”
After saying this, the War King looked at Zhao Yuchen, his sharp eyes gleaming, "Why did Yun Zimo attack you?!"
Zhao Yuchen was just an embroidered pillow. When he saw the King of War being so aggressive, he was immediately paralyzed with fear.
Leng Yun, who was beside Ming Wuyou, stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, Prince Zhao, it was Mr. Zhao who misbehaved and touched my young lady. The Fourth Young Master showed up this time to attack him."
"Oh?" War King's voice suddenly turned cold, and he opened the scabbard of his sword with his thumb.
Zhao Yuchen was shocked: "Nonsense, I didn't, I was just asking for directions, my guard can testify!"
The King of War waved his hand: "Then take his guards down and question him."
Several lieutenants around the King of War accepted the order and dragged the two guards away without explanation.
In an instant, screams could be heard outside.
Zhao Yuchen turned pale with shock and looked at Princess Liyang for help: "Mother, mother!"
Princess Liyang shook off Zhao Yuchen's pull.
At this moment, the deputy general of the King of War dragged up one of Zhao Yuchen's guards. The man was already half dead and covered in blood: "Yes, it is my family... Mr. Zhao... look... that girl is beautiful..."
"Just ask her for her door...and then...use your hands and feet..."
The guard tilted his head and fainted.
"So that's it -" King War looked at Princess Liyang and his voice suddenly increased: "How brave you are to tease my daughter in my palace!"
Bai Di, who came back to his senses, chimed in: "They also bullied Princess Anping and attacked Brother Zimo. Princess Liyang didn't take Prince Zhan's Mansion into consideration at all!"
"She insisted on taking the three of us away. With her temperament and methods, if His Royal Highness hadn't come down in time, half of our lives would have been lost when we arrived at Princess Liyang's Mansion!"
Princess Liyang regained her composure in a short period of time and sneered: "Yu Chen just drank two glasses of wine and said a few dirty words. He didn't do anything to your daughter. What do you want to do?!"
"I am Taizu's favorite princess, how can you still kill me?!"
"You dare?!"
Princess Liyang fearlessly approached the King of War, "Can you?!"
The war king looked gloomy.
he can not.
The King of War said coldly: "From today on, Princess Liyang is not welcome to attend any banquets, weddings or funerals in the Prince of War's palace to see her off!"
Princess Liyang took a deep look at the King of War, and left with her son waving her sleeves.
How arrogant she was just now, how angry she was when she left.
But she didn't know that today's troubles had just begun.
She was only half a street away from Prince Zhan's Mansion, and the breath she was suffering from was still stuck in her throat before it came out, when her car was stopped by someone.
Princess Liyang said angrily: "Who doesn't have the guts to dare to block my princess's car!"
"Princess——" Outside the carriage, the leader of the Golden Armor Guards whispered back: "It's General Leng who is beside the War King. He led the imperial guards to surround us."
Princess Liyang was startled.
Although she was arrogant, she was always unbridled in matters between men and women and never interfered in the government affairs.
She knew very well that the power of the regent rested with both the government and the public, and she had always avoided Murong Yu, so she had lived in peace and harmony in the past few years.
Why did Murong Yu send someone to stop her today?
Leng Xiao's words were cold, neither humble nor arrogant: "Princess, please go to the Ministry of War. Your Highness has something to discuss with you."
He used the word politely - discussion.
But the imperial troops surrounded the entire street, but they had no intention of negotiating at all.
Princess Liyang was already showing off in Prince Zhan's Mansion, and now she was even more annoyed when Leng Xiao stopped her. She said coldly: "I'm not feeling well. I can't go to the Ministry of War today. Let's talk about it another day after I've rested!"
"This is not up to the princess." Leng Xiao said indifferently: "You have to go today if you want to go, and you have to go if you don't want to go!"
Princess Liyang's face was livid with anger, but her arms could not hold her thighs, so she could only be half-forced by Leng Xiao and escorted to the Ministry of War.
In the lobby of the Ministry of War, Murong Yu was sitting on the throne, holding an official document in his hand and looking through it.
The Secretary of the Ministry of War stood beside Murong Yu in fear, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Princess Liyang was dressed in black and splendid palace clothes, dragging a very long skirt. As soon as she came in, she stared at Murong Yu, "Emperor Nephew, why did you ask your men to escort me here?"
Murong Yu slowly raised his head, his cold eyes were deep and without any ripples, "Aunt Huang, it has been ten years since you borrowed three thousand Jinjiawei. It's time to return it, right?"
"What?!" Princess Liyang narrowed her eyes, as if she heard some big joke, "Three thousand golden armored guards were left to me by my mother back then. Do you want me to pay them back?!"
"The records in the Ministry of War files are very clear that the Jinjiawei were raised by the imperial court's Ministry of War and were directly subordinate to the emperor's personal soldiers."
Murong Yu said expressionlessly: "The emperor's aunt seconded the Jinjia Guards back then to quell the banditry in the fiefdom. The troop transfer document is also in the file. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the Empress Dowager has no right to hand over the Jinjia Guards to anyone."
"Moreover, in the past ten years, the Ministry of War has been allocating the military salary for the three thousand golden armored guards, but they have not done any important things for the late emperor and the current emperor."
"They are all providing a home and nursing home for the Imperial Aunt, so the Imperial Aunt must also compensate for the military salary of the Jinjia Guards in the past ten years."
Murong Yu stretched out his hand.
The Minister of War quickly handed over the file.
Murong Yu read it slowly for a while, "The annual military salary for the three thousand men of the Jinjia Guard is 600,000 taels of silver, a total of 6 million taels in ten years."
"The king remembers that the emperor's aunt is a relative of the royal family. He will give her ten days to collect enough money and send it to the Ministry of War. I will not blame my aunt."
Princess Liyang froze on the spot and looked at Murong Yu with a strange expression, as if she had seen some kind of monster.
After a while, Princess Liyang laughed loudly: "I just won't pay you back, what can you do to me?!"
"This king is trying to persuade me with good words." Murong Yu said coldly: "It's best to return the emperor's aunt. After ten days, the Ministry of War will not receive three thousand gold armor guards and six million taels of silver, so Wen Wen will have to send people to raid the house.
