At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

The Inspectorate has always taken it as its mission to punish evil and eliminate evil, but the current situation is different from peacetime after all.

Once the imperial court directly announced an investigation into Xia Yun, it would be making its distrust of Xia Yun known.

By then, angering Xia Yun would be a small matter. Going a step further, it might even force Xia Yun to rebel!

By then, if hundreds of thousands of troops turned against us, not to mention dealing with the barbarians in the northern border, even the stability of the Daliang court would become an unknown!

Therefore, the Imperial Censor made a suggestion which he thought was quite a compromise.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was refuted by the Minister of War Lei Zhenning.

"This must never be done!"

"Who does the Imperial Censor think Xia Yun is? Can he be a three-year-old child?"

"There is such a big disturbance in the capital right now, and the news will soon reach the front line. If the court sends officials to comfort the troops at this critical moment, how can Xia Yun not see the trick?"

Lei Zhenning spoke one after another and refuted the Censor's statement on the spot.

This is not only because he and Xia Yun have a close relationship, the more important reason is as he just said.

In terms of mental shrewdness, although Xia Yun is young, he is not inferior to anyone present.

Once the imperial court sent officials to the army in the name of so-called rewarding the troops, it would undoubtedly arouse Xia Yun's vigilance.

"I think what Lord Lei said is absolutely right. As the saying goes, if you doubt someone, don't employ him; if you employ someone, don't doubt him. Even if Xia Yun made a mistake in Gansu, the court should not punish him lightly."

Compared to Lei Zhenning, the protectiveness in Xiao Yan's words was much more obvious.

He believed in Xia Yun's character, even if things were really as Pei Xingyuan said in the letter, that 100,000 garrison troops in Gansu region mutinied collectively.

The reason is most likely not as Pei Xingyuan said in the letter, that all the responsibility lies with Xia Yun.

"I also think that Xia Yun should not be investigated at this time. Marching and fighting are no joke. Moreover, the barbarian troops are approaching us in large numbers, and their purpose is to destroy our Daliang Dynasty."

Shortly after Xiao Yan finished speaking, Yang Wenzhao stroked his beard and also expressed his attitude of defending Xia Yun.

At this point, almost every minister in the Qingxuan Palace has expressed his or her attitude.

Without exception, these attitudes all imply a desire to protect Xia Yun.

Only Xu Jinsong was kneeling helplessly in the center of the hall.

At this time, the gloomy look on the empress's face faded a lot.

Although the court officials of the Jiangnan Party headed by Xu Miao did not care about military and national affairs, fortunately, these trusted ministers in the court were still on the same page with her.

But it was at this time.

A eunuch delivering imperial eunuchs suddenly appeared in the Qingxuan Palace in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, this is bad! Lord Xu Miao and the other lords have now arrived outside the Qingxuan Palace and are kneeling on the stone steps, requesting Your Majesty to order a thorough investigation of Xia Yun."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict reported hurriedly.

Hearing this, the empress's gloomy look, which had just gradually subsided, instantly became extremely intense again!

There was even a faint murderous aura emanating from it!

Xu Jinsong, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the news that Xu Miao was leading people to force the emperor to abdicate. A feeling of powerlessness swept over his body and he closed his eyes on the spot.

If it was someone else who submitted the impeachment petition against Xia Yun today, he would definitely not be so embarrassed.

In order to maintain the majesty of His Majesty, he could have dismissed all those who forced the emperor to abdicate, or confiscated their property and exiled them, or executed them in the autumn.

It just so happened that the ones who attacked Xia Yun today were his son Xu Miao and those Jiangnan Party officials who had followed him for decades!

He can't do this!

Therefore, he could only show a helpless and weak image in front of the empress!

"Xia Yun is leading the army in a bloody battle on the front line. There must be a solution to this problem."

The Imperial Censor looked outside the hall, and a gloomy look gradually emerged in his eyes.

What Xu Miao and others did was clearly an attempt to force the emperor to abdicate, which also touched the bottom line of the Inspectorate!

The duties of the Inspectorate are not only to punish evil, but more importantly to safeguard the country and people of the Liang Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, please issue an order quickly to dispatch the Imperial Spirit Army under the command of the Ninth Prince to guard the palace to prevent treacherous officials from causing chaos."

Yang Wenzhao narrowed his eyes and made a suggestion.

At this moment, everyone in Qingxuan Palace understood that things had reached a dilemma.

If Xia Yun is not dealt with, Xu Miao and others will have to be dealt with.

And if Xu Miao and others are not dealt with, Xia Yun must be dealt with!

At the critical moment, the empress raised her hand slightly, ready to give an order.

However, at this moment, a hurried eunuch appeared again in the Qingxuan Palace.

"Your Majesty! I have received an urgent letter from the Imperial Court's Grand Marshal Xia Yun, which has been sent over eight hundred miles away!"

The sudden arrival of the memorial caused a look of surprise on the faces of everyone in the Qingxuan Palace.

"Present it to His Majesty immediately!"

Before the empress could come to her senses, Yang Wenzhao immediately spoke to urge her.

Xia Yun sent the memorial to the capital at an expedited rate of eight hundred miles, which clearly indicated that it was an extremely urgent matter.

Perhaps Xia Yun had also learned that Pei Xingyuan had submitted a memorial to impeach him.

But no matter what, Xia Yun's memorial at this time has a great chance of easing the current embarrassing situation in the court.

Upon hearing this, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict quickly presented the memorial in his hand to the empress.

The empress opened the memorial and scanned the lines of text. Her originally gloomy expression suddenly eased!

Not only that, a look of joy appeared on the empress's face.

Inside the hall, Xiao Yan, Lei Zhenning and the others felt reassured upon seeing this situation, and they quickly calmed down.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what Xia Yun suddenly came to report urgently from 800 miles away. What is the matter?"

After the empress withdrew her gaze from the memorial, Yang Wenzhao immediately asked.

The empress did not hesitate and immediately signaled the eunuch to take down Xia Yun's memorial for circulation among the ministers present.

After a short while, all the ministers present, including Xu Jinsong, had finished reading Xia Yun's memorial.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"As expected by the prince, the contents of Pei Xingyuan's memorial are completely false. Xia Yun is a humble person, how could he be such a tyrannical person?"

Xiao Yan smiled happily.

In the memorial that Xia Yun sent over an expedited journey of eight hundred miles, the entire course of events was described in detail.

These included the collective mutiny of 100,000 troops under Pei Xingyuan's command, and the attempt by Pei Xingyuan to massacre Shuodong with 50,000 troops!

Also entering the capital along with this memorial were a group of officials including Pei Xingyuan who were imprisoned and sent to the capital!

"Pass on my order and take Pei Xingyuan and others to the outside of Qingxuan Palace immediately!"

The empress gave the order in a tone that left no room for argument!
