After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Shao Yihui was silent for a while, and just before Qi Dongqiang was about to explode with anger, he spoke, "She is certainly not comparable to you, but she is scheming and has power in her hands. You must remember to control your temper and don't provoke her!"

As soon as the voice fell, Shao Yihui noticed that the woman's breathing was getting heavier. After a while, he heard her say in a stern voice, "You have been trying to stop me in every way. Could it be that you have had some delusional thoughts because of the princess's beauty?"

Qi Dongqiang became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He struggled out of the man's arms, grabbed his clothes and put them on, complaining as he put them on, "You men are no good! You prefer those fair-skinned beauties who depend on others for their love. I know I've been training in the barracks all day, and my skin has become tough. I've also been shouting at the soldiers all day, and my voice is hoarse and unpleasant, but don't look down on me. I'm a woman who works for the country and the people, and I have ideals and ambitions. I can stand shoulder to shoulder with men outside. I'm not one of those cattails who only know how to scheme against each other in the inner courtyard and compete for favors!"

Shao Yihui stepped forward and hugged the angry woman, helplessly, "Where did you go? I have known you for many years, and you still don't understand me? Am I the kind of person who is greedy for beauty?"

"Then you..." Qi Dongqiang felt a little aggrieved.

"I just care about your safety. Although you are the general's daughter, you are still a princess. What's more, Shangguan Shu... anyone with eyes can see that he is now Princess Chengqian's vanguard. He will do whatever she orders him to do. He is more obedient than a dog. If you offend the princess, even if he values ​​you, you may be in trouble. Before the big thing is accomplished, you and I must be patient!"

Qi Dongqiang was silent, as if he was considering Shao Yihui's words.

Shao Yihui heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was coaxed into submission. Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, Qi Dongqiang snorted coldly, "Humph! I refuse to believe this!"

"I am a meritorious official of the Great Chu State, and she is just a princess who enjoys honors for nothing. Whether the princess lives well or not depends on the ability of the generals. If there are no capable and good generals, the princess is just a tool for marriage. How can she show off in the capital?"

"I don't believe that between the safety of the Great Chu and a princess, the Emperor would choose her? As for Shangguan Taishi, a beautiful woman is just a tool for a man in a high position of power. She is not worth mentioning between a brother who has been through thick and thin with him!"

"Ahui, you are too cautious."

"Just wait, I will definitely avenge you!"

After Qi Dongqiang finished speaking, he shook off Shao Yihui and left with an agile gait and a dashing and heroic demeanor.

"Yuan'er!"

Shao Yihui was already injured, and the wound was torn a little due to his emotional excitement just now. Qi Dongqiang walked fast, and there was no way for him to catch up.

Shao Yihui frowned and began to regret complaining to Qi Dongqiang.

Although she knew that Qi Dongqiang was good in every way, she just looked down on those girls from the boudoir from the bottom of her heart. Since she was a child, she felt that she was not the same kind of person as them. She thought that they were scheming and not upright enough. They were not as carefree and broad-minded as men. She liked to be brothers with men since she was a child.

And now that she is over thirty and Yunying is still unmarried, she is forced to regard those women who marry others and rely on their husbands as a scourge.

A woman like Zhao Ying, who relied on her father before marriage and obeyed her husband after marriage and gave birth to a lot of children, is beautiful, slim, gentle and timid. Every step of her is testing her bottom line.

Shao Yihui called his servant to chase after him. When the servant came back, he told him that he had not caught up with him. Shao Yihui's frown deepened.

……

Zhenguogongfu.

Without Shangguan Zhu, only Shangguan Shu and Shangguan Dan were left to discuss things.

Rebellion requires preparation, and even if you don't rebel, you still need to clean up the mess.

For example, General Huang was summoned back to the capital overnight by Shangguan Shu and secretly set up camp in the suburbs of Beijing. The general, who commanded an army of 200,000, stayed in the suburbs of Beijing for many days. Finally, he was notified that everything was fine and he could go back.

When he came to the capital, General Huang was very excited. After being driven away, General Huang was so angry that his face turned red.

Shangguan Shu used to command a million troops, and his four generals, Huang, Lin and Su Qi, were all loyal to him. Among them, General Huang and General Lin knew his plans and recognized people rather than symbols. They were truly his confidants, with a total of 600,000 troops.

General Su commanded an army of 300,000 and was loyal to the emperor. Because Shangguan Shu was loyal to the emperor on the surface, he also obeyed Shangguan Shu's orders.

Shangguan Shu admired General Su very much. According to his original plan, after the uprising, he did not want General Su to get involved. He could have let him stay at the southeastern border to guard the border and ensure that he would not be harassed by foreign enemies during the civil strife.

As for General Qi, Shangguan Shu had long seen that he was a fence-sitter, unsure of his loyalty or treachery. However, due to his bravery on the battlefield, he reluctantly used him and let him lead an army of 100,000.

Shangguan Shu wrote four letters, and in the letters to Generals Huang and Lin, he used a special medicine to explain in detail the reasons why he originally wanted to rebel, and also how he had mistakenly believed in slander and wrongly blamed good people. Now he has not changed his mind, and he hopes that everyone will forgive him... His words are sincere.

After sealing the letter, Shangguan Shu sent a secret guard to deliver it to the military camp.

Then he instructed Shangguan Dan, "Tanzhi, tomorrow you and I will go to raid the Prince of Yue's Palace together."

……

In the following half month, Shangguan Shu was very busy with raids on government offices, investigations, accountability and sentencing, and all the civil and military officials were terrified.

In addition to the crime of murdering King Xian, he also committed more than a dozen serious crimes together with King Shou, including embezzling public funds for disaster relief, selling official positions and titles, and accepting bribes.

The crime of King Yue's corruption was irrefutable, but the crime of murdering the virtuous king was indeed a fabrication. However, the "evidence" was conclusive, and he was unable to defend himself, so he was frightened to death and died unjustly in prison.

When Emperor Jianxi heard about this, he just sighed and said, "If I had known this would happen, why would I have done it in the first place..."

Zhao Ying felt a little reluctant, as she knew the King of Yue was wronged and framed by her and Shangguan Shu, but she suppressed the emotion for just a moment.

The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Even if there was no virtuous king, his corruption and abuse of power would be a capital crime, not to mention... Shangguan Shu's thorough investigation revealed that he had colluded with the virtuous king with evil intentions.

Zhao Ying looked at the new branches of the willow forest not far away, thinking about something in his mind... The dead branches had fallen to the ground, and new buds were sprouting, showing a thriving scene.

Huai'an, Prince Shou, Prince Xian, Prince Yue... and only Prince Liang is left. As long as she holds Shangguan Shu tightly, Prince Liang will naturally not be able to achieve anything.

What should be removed has been removed, and what should come back will come back.

The overall situation... has been decided!
