Chapter 432 Matters in the Capital
Chapter 432 Matters in the Capital
Mo Sheng's heart sank deeper and deeper.
"you listen to me……"
"What did you say? You're just afraid I'll steal your credit? Let me tell you, I wouldn't stoop to doing something like that!"
Mo Sheng broke down: "No, no! I've been hesitating about whether to pursue them. Da Yong was afraid I'd change my mind, so he had someone frame me!"
He wasn't actually sure whether this was a smear campaign by Urisu or if Dayong had played some tricks on him.
But regardless of the possibility, he reached this conclusion.
He had to say that.
Because the Brown Kingdom must win this battle.
Urisu was unaware of his obsession, but he didn't want to waste words with Mo Sheng, so he gave a perfunctory reply.
Mo Sheng had no choice but to believe him.
Urisu was very wary of him and kept him locked up in a cell with many heavy doors.
As for those soldiers who defected to him...
Out of fear and wariness of Mo Sheng, Wu Risu did not follow Mo Sheng's method of treating Zhou Rong.
He chose to marginalize these people.
Such a good opportunity to make a contribution should of course be reserved for our own people.
……
Although the process was quite tortuous, the battle ultimately unfolded as expected.
Therefore, Jianyang had no choice but to put aside his worries about Xizhou and devote himself to the battle at hand.
"Let's get started."
Zheng Xun stood up.
Jianyang glared at her: "What are you doing?"
"You're yelling at me?" Zheng Xun was stunned by her stern tone.
"What's wrong with yelling at you? Why are you standing up? You can't go."
"for……"
"A son of a wealthy family will not sit under a dangerous roof."
Zheng Xun was already very familiar with how to respond to such remarks: "You know my abilities..."
“No matter how capable you are, the plague is indiscriminate. Yuanjia, you are a rational person. You should know what the best choice is.”
Zheng Xun certainly knew.
If she stood shoulder to shoulder with her soldiers, the bond and prestige she built would be entirely different.
But Jianyang clearly didn't think the same way she did.
Zheng Xun joked, "No wonder everyone wants to be the crown prince and the emperor. Look, who wouldn't want to be protected like this? But I'm no ordinary crown princess. Even the founding emperor could lead the charge with his sword and horse, so why can't I?"
Jianyang gave her a deep look: "This has nothing to do with whether or not she is the Crown Princess."
Personally, Yuan Jia calls her aunt, and they are family members bound by blood.
From a moral standpoint, Yuanjia was the benefactor of the Great Yong Dynasty and the one who could lead the Great Yong Dynasty to new heights.
For both public and private reasons, Jianyang would not allow her to take the risk.
Zheng Xun wanted to say something more.
But Jianyang knelt down decisively.
The armor made a crisp sound when it hit the ground.
Then, such voices continued.
Zheng Xun looked over and found that all the Red Eagle Army soldiers were kneeling down in front of her.
The red tassels on their helmets resembled koi swimming on the land, swaying with a stubborn arc.
Yu Rong and Lü Mengying looked around and then knelt down as well.
Zheng Xun licked his dry lips and chuckled, "What are you all doing?"
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
There was a stubbornness in him that he wouldn't get up unless Zheng Xun agreed.
Zheng Xun's smile gradually stiffened: "Fine, you guys are something else, you're even threatening me now."
Jianyang, in a fit of desperation, asked, "Will Your Highness accept our threat?"
Her tone was relatively relaxed, which broke the serious atmosphere and allowed a sense of ease to return.
Zheng Xun pondered for a moment: "Will this put your minds at ease?"
"Yes! If Her Highness the Crown Princess is at the forefront, we will always be thinking of her."
Zheng Xun smiled and said, "Alright. As you wish."
Time is of the essence, and there's no point in arguing any further.
She doesn't necessarily need to go to the front lines as long as they can win.
She led Yu Rong back to the camp where the wounded were located.
Yu Rong asked indignantly, "When exactly did Meng Ying tell you this?"
"On the way to Dongzhou," Zheng Xun said, glancing at her, "you want to go too?"
Lü Mengying had already volunteered to protect Jianyang.
Everyone knows that Jianyang has always been at the forefront of battles.
Therefore, Zheng Xun knew very well that Lü Mengying wanted to kill the enemy.
Zheng Xun did not try to find out what she was thinking.
I simply asked her, "Have you thought it through?"
Seeing that she nodded, Zheng Xun did not stop her.
This is also a good opportunity to make a name for oneself, and besides, the Red Eagle Army is indeed the army that all women aspire to join.
Yu Rong nodded, then shook her head: "I want to. But I know my abilities and personality aren't suited for a place like the Red Eagle Army."
However, since everyone was fighting to protect the Great Yong Dynasty, she wanted to do something too.
Zheng Xun raised his chin: "If you're really willing, there are plenty of opportunities. You can start with small things."
There were too many wounded, and the number of military doctors was far from sufficient.
Yu Rong's eyes lit up: "That's right! I'm very skillful and good at bandaging wounds."
"Go. Observe and ask questions, listen to the military doctor's advice, and do not act on your own."
Yu Rong was in high spirits: "Don't worry! I definitely won't let you down!"
Zheng Xun sighed softly and reopened the light screen.
With unrest raging on the borders, the capital city was also far from peaceful.
After Zheng Xun left the capital, Zheng Jin gradually stepped into the limelight and began to assist the emperor in handling state affairs.
Perhaps inspired by Zheng Xun and Zheng Jiao, the emperor became interested in raising his daughters.
Unlike Zheng Jiao, whom I watched grow up, and Zheng Xun, with whom I spent every day and night.
Ironically, this only biological daughter was the one the emperor knew the least about.
I didn't know until I learned about him that Zheng Jin was actually more intelligent and talented than his sons.
If he can be properly trained, he will surely become Yuanjia's right-hand man in the future.
However, his attitude led some people to misunderstand.
Zheng Jin, in particular, performed exceptionally well.
Most importantly, with Zheng Xun away, no one can cause them trouble. As long as they can stabilize the situation before Zheng Xun returns, it's not impossible to reverse the situation.
They weren't unaware that the chances of success were slim.
But fortune and power are often found in danger, and power is inherently a poison disguised in a beautiful sugar coating.
As long as there's even the slightest possibility, nothing can stop them.
"unambiguous evidence?"
The emperor looked up at Zheng Jin.
Zheng Jin nodded: "Yes. The witnesses and physical evidence are complete."
The emperor was not angry; instead, he nodded in satisfaction: "You did a good job."
Zheng Jin smiled and said, "Your cultivation is still insufficient."
When she first discovered the initial signs, it took her a long time to suppress her shock.
Her idea is simple.
These people were not unaware of Yuan Jia's abilities, and Yuan Jia was not unable to return. She truly did not expect these people to have the audacity to cause trouble.
The emperor did not blame her, but gently guided her: "What do you think is the proper way to handle this matter?"
“Naturally, the punishment will be severe.”
Zheng Jin's tone was stern.
With the borders of the Great Yong Dynasty so turbulent these days, there's not much they can do in the capital.
Besides taking care of the people, the next step is to stabilize public sentiment.
“In chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary. Since someone dares to step forward, don’t blame us for making an example of them.”
"It's best that you think that way, Wenjin. I'll leave this matter to you. Go ahead and do it boldly. I'll back you up!"
