Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

The two are cousins. Su Mingjin is the eldest princess's only son. He is deeply favored by the emperor and has grown up with him since childhood. He has everything that the princes have, and he also has things that the princes don't have.

After all, compared to those grown-up princes, nephews who have no inheritance rights are more reassuring.

It can be said that Su Mingjin is one of the people who understands the emperor's mind best. "With Ning Zhiwei as a variable, the Ning family will be revived."

He spoke with certainty, and it was obvious that he had seen through the game.

"What a pity." A trace of regret flashed in the prince's eyes. "Look into the past of Ning Zhiwei and the Silver-faced General Ning Ran, and see if there is a chance to get the Silver-faced General in your pocket."

Su Mingjin nodded slightly, "I have already sent people to the northwest. In fact, there is no absolute loyalty in this world. The so-called loyalty is just that the chips for betrayal are not enough."

The prince suddenly understood and his brows relaxed. "You are right. How many people can stay sober in the face of power? Who doesn't want to be the most powerful official?"

The two smiled at each other and clinked their teacups together.

The prince took a sip of tea and played with the cup with his fingers, "Rong Jing will be back to Beijing soon, right?"

"There are still three days to go." Su Mingjin looked confident that everything was under his control.

Seeing how he was so wise, the prince felt very happy.

This cousin was full of talent, but for some reason he could not become an official, and his ambitions could not be fully realized, so he was chosen to assist the future emperor.

"Teach him a lesson. If he doesn't accept my toast, he will be punished..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a commotion outside, which interrupted the prince's train of thought. He was very unhappy and shouted to the guards standing outside.

"Why is there such a commotion outside? What happened?"

The guard looked excited, "Your Highness, the palace has posted a notice that the case of the Ning family general will be publicly tried in the three courts at the Meridian Gate one day later."

Like a bolt of thunder, the atmosphere in the room changed instantly.

The prince stood up suddenly and stared at Su Mingjin in disbelief, "What's going on? Rong Jing has quietly returned to the capital? Is there something wrong with your intelligence?"

Su Mingjin frowned, "This is impossible..."

He walked to the window, opened it and looked out. He saw that the street was bustling with activity. Peddlers and hawkers were running around telling each other, and people were gathering in twos and threes, talking among themselves with excited expressions.

A guard looked sharp and said, "Look, it's Master Rong Jingrong."

Su Mingjin looked in the direction of the sight, and sure enough, the familiar figure came into view. He was dressed in green, as tall and straight as a bamboo, standing proudly in the world.

The man was sensitive to something and glanced over. When their eyes met, the blue-clothed man raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if smiling, mocking, or disdainful.

Su Mingjin's expression became darker and darker. It was him again!

Being set up!

One is the top scholar in the imperial examination with six top marks. He is a young talent who has made many outstanding achievements and has risen rapidly to the top of the society. He lives his life and does things in an upright manner under the sun.

One is from a top noble family and is extremely talented, but because of a ridiculous prophecy, he is unable to display his talent and can only walk in the dark.

These two people were at odds with each other from the first time they met. They were destined to be evenly matched and never meet.

On the second day, there was a huge crowd at the Meridian Gate, and citizens from all over the capital came out.

Two rows of yamen runners stood in two rows holding signs, and on a desk were placed the four treasures of the study, a warrant sign and a gavel. Three chairs were placed side by side, symbolizing a trial in three courts.

On the other side was a golden chair, which was the emperor's seat.

At the exact time of si, a bell rang and a shrill voice shouted, "The Emperor has arrived."

Everyone knelt down to welcome the emperor and shouted "Long live the emperor" three times.

The emperor came in a grand procession with the princes and all the civil and military officials in the court, with the Embroidered Uniform Guards leading the way and yellow canopy umbrellas accompanying them. The scene was extremely grand and sensational.

The emperor raised his right hand and said, "Everyone, get up."

"Order, the three courts will hold a joint trial, with the Dali Temple chief judge. Let it begin."

All the civil and military officials in the court exchanged glances. As expected, the Dali Temple Chief was in the emperor's favor, a true confidant of the emperor, and his future was limitless.

Su Mingjin, who was accompanying the emperor, had a flash of unwillingness in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, revealing a smile that made people feel like spring breeze.

The emperor sat down on the dragon throne, and the Grand Secretary, the Minister of Justice, and the Left Censor-in-Chief took their seats one after another.

Rong Jing, the Dali Temple official, slammed the gavel, "Old Madam of the Xuanning Family, Fifth Miss of the Ning Family."

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Ning Zhiwei supported the trembling Madam Ning and walked over, through the sea of ​​people, step by step to the front of the hall.

Madam Ning is old, and she was obviously a little nervous to appear on such a grand occasion with so many people watching her.

Ning Zhiwei hugged her arms tightly. Today they were speaking on behalf of the Ning family, speaking for those who had died, just to seek justice for them.

Everyone felt bad when they saw the white clothes they were wearing, as they were mourning for their dead family members.

The Ning family died heroically, but they didn't even have a decent funeral. No one knows where they are buried. It's sad to think about it.

Heroes and martyrs should not be treated like this.

Ning Zhiwei stood proudly, in plain clothes, with fair skin, extremely beautiful, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were cold and noble.

She stood straight, showing no fear, and held the complaint high in both hands.

Her voice was clear and loud. "I, Ning Zhiwei, am suing the Northwest Army's garrison commander, Lieutenant General Ma Meng. He was supposed to lead the troops to rescue Yu Luo City that night, but he took laxatives for his own selfish reasons and also gave laxatives to all the generals who followed him."

"It led to a temporary replacement of generals. General Ning Guangzhi was ordered to lead the Ning family generals to fight, but he was intercepted and killed in the middle of the battle."

The words were like a bolt from the blue, causing a huge uproar and the crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.

What? Giving yourself laxatives? Are you crazy? This is deliberately sending the Ning family general to his death!

This bastard deserves to be killed.

The generals looked at each other with extremely complicated expressions. So that's what it was.

Under normal circumstances, it would be reasonable for Ning Guangzhi, as the commander-in-chief, to stay in the army and send out his deputy generals for rescue. However, the opposite happened.

No matter how careful you are, it is hard to guard against a thief in your own home. It is easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. Alas.

The death of the Ning family general was so unjust.

Ning Zhiwei suppressed his anger and continued, "I sue the Northwest garrison deputy general Han Qu for deliberately leaking military intelligence, allowing the enemy to set up an ambush at Baishui Beach in advance, which led to our army being ruthlessly massacred. General Ning Guangzhi, Ning Guangpo, Ning Xiuyao, Ning Xiuyue and others were all killed in the battle. Countless people were killed and wounded, and the bright red blood dyed the entire Baishui Beach red."

"I sued General Jiang Shenyun, the Northwest garrison commander, for shooting a poison arrow at General Ning, the commander of the Northwest Army, from behind. The god of war who had fought all his life did not die at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of his own people. I have to say, this is a great sorrow."

There was an uproar below. Damn, this bastard actually killed their Qi State's God of War. How dare he? How could he?

This is a traitor who colluded with foreign countries. He should be executed along with his entire clan!

"I'm suing..." Ning Zhiwei continued in a resentful voice.
