The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

In the letter, the empress was finally no longer the high and mighty emperor, but "Xixi".

She expressed deep shame and regret for what she had done to Brother Ze in the past, and said that as long as Brother Ze led the troops to defeat the barbarians, she would consider their future.

The implication is...

You can still keep your engagement?

Although Li Jize has already married, what's so good about the ugly Wang Yuanya?

It’s better to have the most beautiful woman in Da Qi and the most powerful empress.

Li Jize sneered after reading the letter. Did she regret it? No! She knew she was going to die soon!

The barbarian army is about to approach from the north, and millions of bandits are heading straight for the capital from the south. Da Qi has no troops available. What else can she do now if she doesn't ask Li Jize for help?

"Go back and tell His Majesty! I'm terrified! As soon as Your Majesty's food and supplies arrive, I, Li Jize, will dispatch troops immediately!"

Li Jize put away the empress's letter and said something to the eunuch who came to the palace to announce the decree.

The eunuch's name is Zhao Xinzhi, he is about thirty years old, and he is Eunuch Gao's godson!

If he was not an absolute confidant, it would be impossible for him to announce the decree on behalf of the empress and personally bring a letter from the empress.

Because of this, Zhao Xinzhi was also a little angry when Li Jize once again demanded food and money, and refused to send troops without money. He said coldly, "King of Qin! Before I came, His Majesty had already allocated enough food and money. I'm afraid it should have arrived by now!"

At this point, Zhao Xinzhi paused and then resorted to moral coercion, saying, "It has always been said among the people that the Prince of Qin is loyal and devoted, and the Li family is the pillar of the Great Qi. Now is the most difficult time for the Great Qi, and His Majesty has once again shown favor to His Highness the Prince of Qin. Please put the people, the court, and His Majesty first!"

Ouch! What the hell!

I didn’t expect that the ancients all knew PUA?

If this were the case in ancient times, the order would be Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents, and Teachers. Heaven and Earth were the greatest, followed by the Emperor! The Emperor's status was above that of parents and teachers.

With such words and the eunuch's encouragement, he would have already knelt on the ground with tears and snot, thanking the Lord for His grace, and then rushed off to fight for his life.

pity……

Li Jize is a time traveler!

If it weren't for his mother and wife being in the Empress's hands, he would have kicked the dead eunuch away and sang loudly: "There has never been a savior, nor do we rely on gods or emperors. To create happiness for mankind, we have to rely on ourselves!"

Facing the moral blackmail of eunuch Zhao Xinzhi, Li Jize simply said, "Ah? What food and wages? Is there any food and wages?"

Speaking of which...

He also asked the deputy generals around him: "Everyone, have you received the emperor's food and wages?"

It would be fine if this matter was not mentioned. When it was mentioned, the deputy generals gritted their teeth and looked fierce.

One of the bearded men clasped his hands together and said, "Replying to the King of Qin! This general and I haven't received a single cent from the court!"

When I said this...

He also glared at the eunuch Zhao Xinzhi fiercely!

You know, his godfather is Eunuch Gao, who is close to the emperor.

Not to mention a mere deputy general, even a high-ranking official would know that it is better to offend a high-ranking official in the court than to offend a dead eunuch! As the emperor's close associates, they can whisper in his ear at any time and anywhere, and no matter how wise the emperor is, he can't withstand a few rounds of whispering.

But now...

All the deputy generals in the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry army looked at him with contempt and ridicule.

It is conceivable that the entire Beiliang Wolf Cavalry has long since stopped recognizing the imperial court and only recognizes him, King Qin Li Jize.

after all……

They eat Li Jize's food and receive Li Jize's salary.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Xinzhi waved his hands and shouted excitedly, "Our food and wages were already distributed before we even left! How could we not have arrived if we were following the canal?"

With a swish, as soon as he finished speaking, the bearded man drew the sword from his waist.

He looked ferocious, his eyes wide open, and said with a murderous look on his face, "What? You idiot, you mean to say that the King of Qin and I have embezzled the money from the imperial court?"

A dignified eunuch, the confidant of the empress and eunuch Gao, was actually humiliated in public.

Zhao Xinzhi was furious. He pointed at the man with his orchid finger and scolded him, "What did you say to me? Say it again!"

All of a sudden, all the deputy generals in the camp stood up and glared at the eunuch.

The bearded man was even more fearless and shouted angrily, "Then listen to me! You have no balls! You have no balls! You have no balls!"

"Ah You!"

Zhao Xinzhi is so angry!

But facing the deputy generals who openly disregarded the imperial court, he did not dare to lose his temper! What about Li Jize?

Sitting there, he put a cup of tea into his mouth and sipped it slowly. It was obvious that he was deliberately indulging himself in this.

Damn it!

The soldiers and generals on the outside were all afraid of the eunuchs, for fear of offending them...

Even if the court withholds your food and wages or pays you less, it will be enough for you to bear.

But now...

Li Jize and his gang are truly shameless! They've completely turned their backs on their friends. As for the food and wages, you can give them to me or not! Anyway, I haven't received any.

"Okay! Okay! Your Highness, Prince Qin, if that's the case... I will definitely report the truth to His Majesty!"

Li Jize pursed his lips. Does he care?

"Then please tell His Majesty that I, Li Jize, haven't received any food or wages!"

When he said this, he still looked resentful and tragic.

"Without food and money, even if Ji is willing to kill the bandits, he is powerless to save the situation!"

"King Qin!"

"Your Highness!"

"It's not worth it! A court like this isn't worth it!"

The subordinates were terribly worried. What a good man the King of Qin is! How much has he done for the Great Qi and for Your Majesty?

What was the final outcome?

Now he even paid for three months' food and wages for them out of his own pocket, but this is a shitty court! This is a shitty emperor!

Why should we let them fight and risk their lives without paying a penny?

If it weren't for the pressure from King Qin, these people would really want to add a piece of clothing to him at night!

Eunuch Zhao Xinzhi was almost mad with anger!

Li Jize, this thief! This bastard!

He got the advantage but still acted like a good boy, and even pretended to be a loyal minister and a filial son. His acting skills are really unmatched.

Of course, Zhao Xinzhi was also a little puzzled. Why? Did they really not receive the emperor's food and wages?

If Li Jize is like this, then the deputy general is also like this! It is impossible that the entire Beiliang Wolf Cavalry soldiers have received military pay from the court against their conscience and are insisting that there is no such thing?

The answer is very simple!

The food and money have been robbed again!

The heroes of Liangshan are waiting for your food and wages.

When the emperor was brought here, they immediately hijacked him and passed him to Li Jize...

Then he distributed it to the cavalrymen under his command. They did not see the ships and vehicles carrying grain coming in from the imperial court. These were all grain and wages that the King of Qin had raised by selling his belongings and finding every possible way.

They are working for the King of Qin, so why should they be loyal to your court?
