This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing Huo Qing'er to stand there for a long time without reacting.
The thief-suppressing general she ordered actually led an army of 100,000 to join the enemy?
No matter who encounters this kind of thing, his mentality will explode.
If you tell me, no one will believe it.
Huo Qing'er also didn't believe it. She stepped forward and questioned the little eunuch again, and received a positive answer.
He also said that Zhang Shangshu was asking for an audience outside the door.
Huo Qing'er seemed a little confused and had not yet woken up from it.
Shi Yi quickly sent the young eunuch away and asked him to take Zhang Shangshu to the imperial study.
The little eunuch has always lowered his head since he came in, not daring to look up at all.
This is the rule in the palace. If you look up accidentally, your head may move.
He quickly withdrew and conveyed his message.
Shi Yi comforted Huo Qing'er, freshened up, and with his help, went to the imperial study room.
The old man Zhang Shangshu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Huo Qing'er coming in, he quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground to salute.
Shi Yi stood next to Huo Qing'er and listened very carefully. Cheng Tieniu had really rebelled.
It doesn't matter if one person rebels, but taking away an army of 100,000 people is a bit excessive.
If this person is caught, he will be severely punished.
Shi Yi recalled that Cheng Tieniu's performance in the main hall was slightly abnormal, but at that time, no one thought that he would react.
"Your Majesty, the rebellion of the second prince and others must be eradicated as soon as possible in order to stabilize the Yujin Kingdom."
This old man sincerely hopes that the Yujin Kingdom can remain intact and fully supports Huo Qing'er in suppressing the rebels.
After Cheng Tieniu rebelled, Huo Qing'er became more cautious about using generals, fearing that another Cheng Tieniu would be in trouble.
Although the military strength of the Yujin Kingdom is not only one hundred thousand, but millions, the borders of the Yujin Kingdom are very wide.
The soldiers guarding the border could not be drawn away at all and could only be drawn from Yujin.
For a while, Huo Qing'er couldn't find a candidate, so she asked Zhang Shangshu to recommend a suitable general.
It just came so suddenly that no one was prepared, and Zhang Shangshu didn’t know who to recommend for a while.
This matter was discussed at court the next morning.
In Xiancheng, the second prince's government office, Cheng Tieniu appeared inside.
At this time, he was kneeling before the second prince.
"My subordinate, Cheng Tieniu, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
The second prince was very excited, because Cheng Tieniu was a secret he planted. This time, bringing an army of 100,000 troops was already a very big achievement.
The fourth prince obviously didn't know that Cheng Tieniu was the second prince's son, so he was stunned.
I still can't believe this is real, as if I'm dreaming.
"Second, second brother, you are really hiding it, but with the soldiers brought by General Cheng, it is enough for Huo Qing'er to eat a pot."
"If she knew that General Cheng was yours, I don't know what she would think. The hundred thousand troops were lost like this. Hahahaha..."
The fourth prince said that, but in fact, he felt more of a sense of fear and uneasiness in his heart.
Only now did he understand how deep the Second Prince's palace was. I'm afraid he had been preparing for it many years ago!
It seems that he has been coveting this throne for many years and has been waiting for the opportunity.
Unexpectedly, this time the eldest sister actually took the initiative to find an opportunity for him. The eldest sister served as a stepping stone for him.
The fourth prince felt somewhat nervous when he thought of this, knowing that he would have to be careful when facing his second brother in the future.
You never know when you provoke him.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. No, no, no, it should be congratulations to the emperor. Congratulations to the emperor. The throne of the Yujin Kingdom will soon belong to the emperor."
Today, the second prince was in a good mood and did not care too much about the fourth prince. He laughed and immediately set out wine to celebrate.
One family is happy and the other is worried. The second prince here is very happy to have an army of 100,000 men.
In the palace, Huo Qing'er looked sad and helpless.
She was still blaming herself in her heart, blaming herself for not investigating clearly before handing over the military power to Cheng Tieniu.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth with hatred.
"Cheng...Tie...Niu, hum! I didn't expect you to be the second brother's person, and you've hidden it well enough."
There are reasons why Huo Qing'er trusted Cheng Tieniu. One was that no one took the initiative to stand up at that time, but he stood up.
There is another main reason, that is, a long time ago, she accidentally saw the second prince being beaten fiercely.
At that time, Huo Qing'er was thinking that if Cheng Tieniu was beaten by the second prince, he would definitely hate the second prince, so he would lead his troops to conquer even harder.
As a result, reality slapped her in the face, Cheng Tieniu turned out to be the second prince's person.
Shi Yi stood beside her, looking at the depressed Huo Qing'er, and leaned down to comfort her.
"Qing'er, everyone makes mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes when looking at people. I can't blame you."
As he spoke, he hugged Huo Qing'er into his arms, giving her the greatest comfort.
"Speaking of which, I also had a responsibility that day."
So, Shi Yi told what happened that day when he discovered something unusual about Cheng Tieniu. He did this just to make Huo Qing'er feel better.
No one is perfect, mistakes are normal and don’t need to be kept in mind.
If you make yourself unhappy, things will not be solved and it will be meaningless.
After all, Shi Yi was not from the Yujin Kingdom. He initially wanted to lead the troops himself.
However, I was worried about being opposed by the ministers of the DPRK and China, so I kept silent.
Now seeing Huo Qing'er so depressed, he was ready to help Huo Qing'er.
Even if he is opposed by the ministers of the DPRK and China, he will still fight back forcefully.
In the imperial city, a mysterious man came to Zhang Shangshu's residence.
He looked like a butler and walked quickly towards the study to look for Zhang Shangshu.
He gently pried open the door and shouted softly into the room:
"Sir, Lord Shi wants to see you."
Zhang Shangshu raised his head slightly and frowned. He was a little confused as to why Shi Yi came.
This Shi Yi came out halfway, and as soon as he arrived, Huo Qing'er overcame all objections and became the leader of the Imperial Guard.
And she often accompanies Huo Qing'er. She looks very young, but gives people a very mysterious feeling.
He has always had no good impression of Shi Yi, but he has no dislike either. The two of them have not had any contact with each other.
present,
"not see."
When the butler heard this, he bowed slightly and turned to leave.
"Wait, let him come in!"
Zhang Shangshu finally planned to meet Shi Yi and see what Shi Yi was up to.
In less than a minute, a hearty laughter sounded outside the study.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang's threshold is really high. It's so difficult to meet him."
Before anyone arrived, the sound had already drifted into the study.
Zhang Shangshu stood up and looked towards the door,
At this moment, Shi Yi floated in without touching the ground, and bowed his hands to Zhang Shangshu.
"I wonder why Mr. Shi came here?"
Zhang Shangshu asked while returning the gift.
Shi Yi leisurely came to sit on a chair aside and poured himself a cup of tea.
I took a small sip and smacked my mouth.
"Good tea, good tea. It's a pity. It's a pity that Mr. Zhang won't be able to taste it for a long time."
Shi Yi's words made Zhang Shangshu very unhappy, but he still endured it. After all, he was Shangshu and had a certain mind.
However, the housekeeper couldn't bear it and yelled loudly.
"How dare you speak to Lord Shangshu?"
He also deliberately emphasized the word "Shang Shu", but unfortunately, Shi Yi didn't take it seriously at all.
He turned his head and stared at the housekeeper coldly.
"My lord is talking, but a little servant dares to interrupt? Palm."
Bang! Bang!!!
As soon as Shi Yi finished speaking, the housekeeper started to slap him in the face, while he looked confused and didn't know what was going on.
Even Zhang Shangshu didn't know what was going on, but he knew it must be Shi Yi's fault.
"Master Shi, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to teach my butler a lesson as soon as you come here! Hum, tell me, what's the purpose of coming to my house?"
