Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Above the court

The ministers stood in the hall, not daring to look up at the emperor above them. In recent days, His Majesty had been getting angry at every turn. Compared to his soft temper in the past, the current emperor was so sharp that people dared not look him in the face.

You always criticize the Mohist school, Your Highness the Crown Prince. This seems to be problematic no matter how you look at it. Are you trying to depose the Crown Prince?

They don't want to be implicated, so naturally it is best for them to protect themselves.

Jiang Yu knelt on the ground, his forehead bleeding from being hit by a memorial. He did not dare to get up. He pursed his lips and said nothing, looking down at the ground. He really couldn't understand why his father was so harsh on him recently.

Jiang Qiyun said coldly, "You are the crown prince. It is really stupid to deal with the matter of Lincheng like this. From today on, you will be confined to your home for a month. Reflect on what you did wrong."

Turning his head to look at Jiang Xiao, especially the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, his expression obviously relaxed, with a fatherly gentleness.

"Xiao'er's suggestion is very good. I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure you get it done. When you come back, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Yes, I obey your orders."

Jiang Qiyun looked at the others, his face returning to its usual coldness: "If you have something to say, please get up and report it. If not, please leave the court. I am a little tired."

Jiang Xiao passed by him, deliberately bent down and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, why don't you stand up? Your father told you to be under house arrest. Are you going to disobey the order, or are your knees weak and you can't stand up, haha."

"It's only been a short time, less than half an hour. He can't be dying. His body is so weak. How can he ascend the throne to become the emperor in the future?"

"Tsk tsk, what a pity. This prince has important matters to deal with, so I won't delay any longer."

Mo Jue Mo Yuan walked over and helped the man up, looking at the man with red eyes, he sighed in his heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind and righteous, but it is still inappropriate for him to have such a temperament as an emperor.

In comparison, Her Royal Highness the Princess is much more decisive in killing, but the other one's brain is not very stable, he might just go crazy. It would be better if the two of them could get along well.

"Don't be sad, Your Highness. His Majesty must be in a bad mood recently. Once he stabilizes, he will be the same as before."

Jiang Yu looked at them and said, "I'm not worried about that. It's just that my father is not right today. It's like he has become a different person. He doesn't want to see me, and he doesn't want to listen to me. He's like a stranger."

Mo Jue and Mo Yuan looked at each other, their eyes flickered. How could this not be unfamiliar? Since his own son is here, naturally he would look down on you. But this cannot be said just now. It will take some time. Once all the forces outside King Yun are wiped out, the truth will naturally come to light.

It is not necessarily a bad thing that the prince is under house arrest at this time. It is also a good thing to avoid him, which is safer.

"Your Highness, it's time for you to leave with the eunuch, and it's time for us to leave the court."

Jiang Yu was a little distraught. He followed the little eunuch towards his own palace. He was under house arrest for a month. Alas, he couldn't come out for this month. He wondered if anything would happen to his mother and his younger sister.

Somehow, the news of the prince being under house arrest spread to the public, and people started talking about it. People would gather in groups of three or four in restaurants and teahouses to discuss something.

"Hey, I don't know what your majesty's intention is. Why did you suddenly confine the crown prince? Do you think you want to appoint a new crown prince?"

"Don't mention it, this is really possible. I heard that the Third Prince is very favored recently, I'm afraid he might really change his throne. After all, Your Majesty is not too old, so it's not impossible for him to change his mind."

A nun passed by, listened for a while, and then turned and left.

A few days later, we returned to the temple.

He pushed open the door, looked at the people who were still chanting and praying, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Something happened to the Queen Mother..."

The Queen Mother opened her eyes quickly, stopped spinning the Buddhist beads, stood up from her fan, turned around and looked at her: "Get up, what happened that makes you so flustered?"

The nun told the beautiful woman everything she had heard. She looked at her suddenly cold face and lowered her head, not daring to look at her again. "Queen Mother, there is news from over there. I'm afraid Prince Yun has already gone to the capital."

With a bang, the Buddhist beads fell to the ground and scattered all over the floor.

"Very good, he is really brave. Go and call a carriage. I want to go back to the capital. If I don't go back, I'm afraid he will be instigated by that woman and kill his brothers."

"Yes, old slave, let's do it now."

The Queen Mother pressed her chest, her eyes filled with sorrow. The thing she feared most was about to happen. If she had known this earlier, she should not have been soft-hearted towards the child.

Her two sons were all caused by one woman. She must not be kept this time. As for the prime minister, he has received a lot of benefits over the years, which is enough. If he does not appreciate it, there is no need to keep him.

Jiang Qiyun, who was far away in the capital, didn't know that the empress dowager was coming back. He sneezed several times in succession. A soft body pressed against him and he heard the woman's charming voice in his ears.

Put aside the uneasiness in your heart.

The imperial concubine pinched his ear and twisted her waist: "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Are you worried about the affairs of the court? If that's the case, you can let Dad handle it."

Sitting in his arms, hugging his neck, she tapped his lips with her fingertips: "Let's just live our own carefree lives and leave all these boring things to Xiao'er and Dad."

Jiang Qiyun's eyes were a little dazed. After hesitating for a moment, he still shook his head. He wanted the beauty and he wanted the world too. How could he feel at ease if he lost this supreme power?

Only he himself knows how difficult his life was when he had no power. Now there are still hidden dangers that have not been resolved, so he naturally cannot take it lightly.

"Nothing. I have already told Xiao'er that we need to deal with the Crown Prince, Queen, and Princess completely, especially the Mo family. Only after we deal with the Mo family can we deal with the three of them."

Jiang Qiyun sighed. He had soldiers at his disposal, but they were still no match for the Mohist army. He could only take back the Mohist army power and then find a reason to deal with them all.

It would be easy to get rid of those three.

The Mohist Army can be incorporated into his army in the due time and become a knife in his hand. Only in this way can people feel at ease. But now is not the time yet. Just be patient.

"Nothing, it's just a small matter, so I won't bother you, Prime Minister."

The imperial concubine snorted softly: "Look, I see, you just don't trust my father, that's why you are so reluctant to give up power."

"Rou'er, you're overthinking. Wait another month until the Mo family has dealt with it. Then we can rest easy. No matter how powerful Jiang Li is, she's no match for four people."

"Well, I don't care. Those are your men's business. You can handle them yourself. There is one more thing. Besides the Mo family being a threat, the Queen Mother... is also a threat."
