The emperor was prepared to be asked for an explanation by Marquis Wanning, and then he could take advantage of the situation to confine him. After a period of time, he could use the excuse that Lu Sui was paralyzed in bed and was not suitable to lead the Jifeng Battalion to easily take back Lu Sui's military power.

As a result, Marquis Wanning actually took the initiative to make the proposal.

Considering the incident just now and the fact that Lu Sui was a meritorious minister, the emperor might have agreed to it directly.

It will only dishearten all civil and military officials.

But the emperor knew very well that if he missed such a good opportunity, he would never have it again.

For a moment, he was very conflicted.

He looked at the civil and military officials, as if he was looking for someone.

"emperor!"

Seeing that the emperor ignored him, Wan Ning Hou raised his voice a lot: "Please fulfill my father's wish."

"Marquis Wanning, you are no longer interesting."

The emperor didn't say anything, but Princess Jinghe spoke up.

She stood up and looked at Wan Ning Hou with contempt: "Rumors don't come out of nowhere. You are so anxious to let the emperor take back Lu Sui's leadership. Are you trying to cover up something?"

"Princess Jinghe, I swear to God, I contributed a lot when the Gale Camp was first established. If I hadn't almost lost Sui'er this time, how could I have made such a decision?" Wan Ning Hou looked at the emperor with deep eyebrows and eyes, and immediately lifted his robe and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please, as a father, grant my wish."

"Brother, you must not agree to this." Princess Jinghe stood up and said angrily, "There is still no accurate explanation for Lu Sui's injury. If you believe the one-sided words of Marquis Wanning and take back the Swift Wind Camp, you might end up with a mess."

The emperor originally thought that Jing and the princess were too talkative.

But this sentence hits the point.

Even if Lu Sui's military power is to be taken back, the whole incident must be investigated thoroughly, and the situation inside the Gale Camp must also be understood clearly.

Otherwise a good thing will become a bad thing.

"Princess Jinghe, why are you talking so contradictory? You said before that the rumors were not groundless, but now you want an accurate statement. I want to know who spread the rumors since they were not groundless. If I find the culprit, I will skin that bastard alive!" Marquis Wanning said viciously.

"Madam Yuan, you just said that you heard it from Madam Zhang. Then..." Princess Jinghe looked at Madam Zhang, "Where did you hear it from?"

"I, your wife also heard it... from others." Mrs. Zhang shivered.

"Who is this other person?" Princess Jinghe snorted and laughed. "Lu Sui's injury has been going on for a long time. Everyone present here is a well-known person. I really don't believe it. Only Madam Yuan and Madam Zhang have heard of such rumors. Tell us everything you know. The more and more detailed you are, the more likely we will find the culprit, and that will also put Marquis Wanning at ease."

Who dares to come forward and propose this?

Even if he is not killed instantly by the Emperor, he will be killed instantly by Marquis Wanning.

In an instant, the entire hall was like a taut bowstring. No one dared to speak loudly, or even breathe. It was extremely tense.

"What's going on? Why are all of you silent?" Princess Jinghe turned her head and looked at the emperor. "Brother, this matter is of great importance. Lu Sui is the most famous young general in Da Zhao in recent years. If you don't make a decision for him now, it will not only chill his heart, but also the hearts of millions of soldiers."

Terrible.

Once this matter is made public, the passive person becomes the emperor.

You know, there are many generals sitting below who have come from all over the place to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

If the emperor really takes back Lu Sui's military power today, then Lu Sui's today will be their tomorrow.

The emperor naturally thought of this too.

So, I was reluctant to speak.

Until, a eunuch rushed in and knelt in the middle: "Your Majesty, Young Marquis Lu requests to see you."

"Lu? General?"

"Young Marquis Lu?"

The eunuch's words were like dropping a huge rock into the calm water, instantly causing huge waves.

"Quick pass."

At this time, the emperor had no choice but to meet Lu Sui.

"Yes."

When the eunuch walked out, everyone followed his gaze and looked closely at the gate.

About five minutes passed.

Yuan Buwei pushed Lu Sui and slowly stepped into the hall.

"Young Marquis Lu is sitting down. Could it be that he is well now?"

"No, if he was well, he would have walked in standing. How could he have walked in in a wheelchair?"

A few anxious people couldn't help but start talking.

Lu Sui used to be the focus of the crowd wherever he went, but he has been spending most of the past six months in his room. Now, seeing so many people's eyes on him all of a sudden, he was a little uncomfortable.

Yuan Buwei noticed his awkwardness and comforted him softly, "Don't be nervous. You are appearing in front of everyone as a victim today. It's normal to feel a little restrained."

Lu Sui, who understood this, felt relieved all of a sudden. "

"I, your humble servant, pay my respects to the Emperor, the Empress, the Queen Mother, and Princess Jinghe."

Yuan Buwei pushed Lu Sui to the side of Marquis Wanning and was about to carry Lu Sui down.

The emperor immediately said, "Lu Sui, your legs and feet are inconvenient, so just sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Lu Sui, didn't I tell you to stay at home? What are you doing here?" Marquis Wan Ning glared at his son.

"I also want to ask father, what are you doing here?"

"I, I'm here to attend the Emperor's birthday banquet!"

"Then why are you kneeling here now?" Lu Sui snorted and chuckled, and bowed to the emperor. "Your Majesty, I should have come a long time ago, but unfortunately I was powerless before. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."

The emperor looked at Lu Sui for a few seconds and shouted, "Come here, give him a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Lu Sui, you came at the right time. While you were recuperating at home, did you hear any rumors about yourself?" Princess Jinghe went straight to the point.

Lu Sui lowered his eyes and looked at his legs.

After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Of course I have heard of it."

"That's not right, Your Majesty..."

Minister Li of the Ministry of War seemed to have made up his mind. He walked to the center and knelt down. "Your Majesty, Young Marquis Lu was indeed ambushed by the enemy, but apart from the normal death toll of the two armies fighting, he did not cause too many casualties. I also went to the Swift Wind Camp to find Deputy General Li and Military Advisor Ning to understand the situation. It is completely slanderous to say that Young Marquis Lu caused tens of thousands of casualties. Please, Your Majesty, look into it and give Young Marquis Lu justice!"

Minister Li of the Ministry of War had dealt with many military camps and generals. Some of them were disdainful, some were fawning, but Lu Sui was the first one he met who was truly devoted to the military camp. Sometimes, considering the lack of resources in the Ministry of War, he would solve the problem on his own and never cause trouble for himself.

Naturally, Minister Li of the Ministry of War was willing to stand up and speak for Lu Sui.
