The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

After that, they can take the opportunity to weaken the momentum of the General's Mansion. If this plan fails, it will have no impact on the emperor.

However, this confidant did not expect that Ming Huaixi already knew what happened at that time point, and became suspicious. When he found out, the confidant had not yet eliminated all the traces.

Mingyuan let out a long sigh when he received the news. The king and his subjects should be one, but now they can hardly coexist. How did it come to this?

Mingyuan thought that if he was the only one there, it would be okay for him to be a loyal person, but he still had his family. His son and daughter were still watching him. If he did nothing, the entire general's mansion would be implicated.

Well, a general should be loyal to the people, and the soldiers should always protect the homes of millions of people, not the person sitting on the throne.

Thinking of this, Mingyuan had already made a decision in his heart.

Afterwards, Ming Yuan called Ming Hao Ning and Ming Hao Ran into his military tent and told them about Ming Huai Xi's recent affairs, as well as what he had found out.

"This is really too much. This dog emperor actually wants to attack Xiao Xier." Ming Haoran roared in anger when he saw that the emperor's men wanted to attack Ming Huaixi.

Ming Haoning quickly pulled Ming Haoran aside and said, "You are asking for your life. Even if you are angry, you can't be so careless."

Ming Hao Ning was also angry, but he was more rational. Hearing his brother shouting so loudly, he really felt a sense of rage in his heart, unable to breathe.

"What does father plan to do?" Ming Hao Ning decided to divert the attention and ask his father what he thought.

Mingyuan spoke his thoughts in a calm voice, "It is difficult for the General's Mansion and the Emperor to coexist peacefully."

"The General's Mansion still has too little in its hands. The most urgent task is to add more chips to our hands."

"Yes, since father has made a decision, my second brother and I should move in this direction."

"Father, do you know if Xiao Xi'er is okay now? How are the family members in the general's mansion doing now?" Ming Hao Ning thought of Ming Huaixi's matter and wanted to know what happened afterwards. He was also worried that the general's mansion might also be plotted against.

"The General's Mansion and Xi'er are both fine. This time, it's all thanks to Xi'er's alertness. Otherwise, this incident would have been difficult to resolve."

When Ming Haoran heard that Ming Huaixi and the General's Mansion were fine, he regained his senses, "That's good. I'll remember this."

Ming Huaixi later received a reply from General Ming and learned of General Ming's ideas. He became more urgent to develop the stronghold. Now that sea transportation has been put on the right track, it can make up for the previous capital. Together with the income from the caravan and other places, it is enough to support the expenses of developing strongholds in other countries.

Once everything is back on track, the military expenses for the soldiers on the border will be available.

After the last plot by the emperor's confidants failed, they had been inactive for a long time.

The affair between the eldest princess' son and Qiao Yan was still discovered, but this time the location was at the home of Qiao Yan's husband.

Qiao Yan's husband was a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the imperial examination), but now he is only a minor official. When he saw his wife having an affair with someone at home, he was so angry that he fainted on the spot.

The eldest princess's son decided to go all the way and killed Qiao Yan's husband. He then buried the body on the outskirts of the city and used his power to cover up the disappearance of this minor official.

The body of the minor official was discovered by a female coroner. The Dali Temple was involved in the murder of an official, and the case was taken over by the Dali Temple Minister himself. The body was then found to be that of Qiao Yan and the eldest princess's son.

Since Ming Huaixi was not killed this time, the emperor did not need to give an explanation to the General's Mansion. He only confiscated the title of Crown Prince from the eldest princess's son and sentenced him to thirty lashes, and the matter was over.

Because of her adultery and murder of her husband, Qiao Yan was sentenced to exile in Lingnan. However, she couldn't hold on and died on the way to exile.

The eldest princess' son's reputation was ruined because of this incident. He hated the coroner and the chief judge of the Dali Temple who investigated the case, and he kept looking for opportunities to take revenge on them.

The eldest princess also supported this matter. If they hadn't insisted on investigating the case, how could the eldest princess's mansion be affected and how could her son's future be ruined.

I have to say that some people have a really good mentality. They always blame others and never reflect on themselves.

These have nothing to do with Ming Huaixi anymore. There is going to be a war on the border, and it is that small country that is invading the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty. Now is the time for Mingyuan and his son to be deposed.

Before Mingyuan decided to stand against the emperor, he cleaned up the dissidents in the army and only left one or two as decoration.

Before the war started, Ming Huaixi wrote a letter specifically asking them to be careful of the people around them.

Sure enough, someone attacked on the battlefield, but this time Ming Yuan and Ming Hao Ning were unharmed. What was unexpected was that the person who attacked was Ming Hao Ning's good brother in the army in his early days, and now he is someone Ming Hao Ning trusts the most.

Now that Mingyuan and his son are fine, the emperor should know that he has failed and will not act rashly for the time being.

Afterwards, they found the letter from the person who asked him to take action in the man's account. Ming Hao Ning and Ming Yuan gathered their confidants and told them about this matter.

Most of his confidants expressed their willingness to follow Mingyuan until death.

Ming Haoran had been recalled to the capital to report on his work, so he could stay in the capital to protect Ming Huaixi and the general's family.

The war caused by that small country was quickly settled.

Two years of peace followed. During these two years, the emperor had people frame the general's mansion for treason many times, but each time he failed. Now Ming Huaixi's intelligence base has been built, and his shops are spread across various countries.

The emperor has become increasingly incompetent in the past two years. I don't know if it's because he hasn't dealt with the General's Office, which has made him angry. Some of the policies he issued are becoming increasingly unpopular. He has raised taxes twice in two years, and refused to distribute relief grain when there was a flood in the south.

The same thing happened in the original owner's previous life, and a small-scale uprising broke out, which was quickly suppressed. However, the emperor had already dealt with the General's Mansion by then.

Now the time has come. Mingyuan brought Ming Huaixi and everyone else from the General's Mansion to the border. Except for Qiao, a close minister to the emperor, all other relatives of the General's Mansion have been transferred out of the capital one after another.

There will eventually be a war between the General's Mansion and the Great Jin Dynasty.

After Ming Huaixi arrived at the border, he specialized in intelligence gathering. That day, a special guest came to General Ming's tent.

Ming Huaixi also knew this person. He was Li Che, also a prince of the Great Qi Dynasty. His previous appearance in the capital was not a coincidence.

Since its last defeat, the Great Qi Dynasty has been accumulating national strength, while at the same time sending people to collect information about the Great Jin Dynasty, striving to know both itself and the enemy before the next war.

That’s right. Li Che appeared in the capital before as a spy. The last time he met Ming Huaixi was when he had just obtained a partial troop deployment map of the border and then tested its authenticity.

That's why Ming Haoran was urgently recalled that time.

This time Li Che came to discuss cooperation, representing the Great Qi Dynasty to discuss cooperation with General Ming.
