After Ning Shouli returned to the house, a housekeeper reported that a distinguished guest had come to the house and was waiting secretly in the backyard.
Ning Shouli hurried to the backyard. When Tu Shanze saw the visitor, he looked worried and stood up quickly.
"I just learned about what happened to General Ning. I was very worried, so I took the liberty to come and disturb him."
"I have always admired the Ning family. If it weren't for you to protect Yanchi's territory, I would have been trampled by the Huns long ago. There must be something fishy about this matter, and I will never believe that General Ning will treason!"
These words were sincere and beautiful. Even if he knew that the other party had ulterior motives, Ning Shouli couldn't help but be touched in his heart.
"I thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tu Shanze continued: "According to my understanding of Your Majesty, it is impossible to exchange Longcheng for General Ning. But General Ning has made so many contributions to Yanchi, and I cannot bear to see him die at the hands of the Huns. This king cannot bear to have the Ning family, which is full of loyal people, have its inheritance cut off!"
Ning Shouli smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, now that my son has fallen into the hands of the Huns, he must be heavily guarded..."
Tu Shanze took two steps closer, held Ning Shouli's hand, and said seriously: "General Ning, if you are willing to believe in me and help me, I will try my best to bring General Ning back!"
Ning Shouli met the other party's sincere eyes straightly.
He was the ambitious prince of Zhize, the most favored prince in the past, and a large number of ministers from the previous dynasty had surrendered to him. How could he not have any background?
If King Ze is willing to help him, Jiang'er may really be saved.
But that meant that the Ning family had completely abandoned its neutral position, joined King Ze's camp, and entered the muddy waters of partisanship.
Jiang’er…
But Jiang'er was the last male heir of their Ning family. Ning Shouli didn't dare to tell his wife the news for fear that she would faint and die.
Tu Shanze continued to speak sincerely: "General Ning, if you can't even think of a way to save General Ning, then he will really be in jail!"
These words were like the last straw that overwhelmed Ning Shouli's heart, and he was completely shaken.
"Prince Ze, I..."
But at this moment, his daughter's words to him suddenly rang in his ears.
Ning Shouli gritted his teeth, struggled for a moment, and finally raised his hands to Tu Shanze and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting the Ning family. I would like to wait until His Majesty makes a decision tomorrow before thinking of other options!"
Tu Shanze's face was slightly stagnant, and he forced out a smile: "It doesn't matter, let's wait for General Ning's reply tomorrow."
The moment he turned around, Tu Shanze's expression turned cold, and the fear in his heart almost engulfed him.
Tu Shanjin, you are so popular with me now!
We can't continue like this!
The sky turned white, the wind in the palace howled a little, and the dragon robe on Yaoyao's body made a rustling sound as it blew against the ground.
She strode towards the Xuanzheng Hall, sweeping away all the resentment she felt from going to court in the morning, and her whole body was in high spirits.
Just because today, there is a scolding war to be fought!
As soon as Yun Yaoyao sat down on the dragon chair, her buttocks were not even warm, the advice from the courtiers below came whistling like snowflakes all over the sky!
"Your Majesty, the Huns are now eyeing Longcheng, so they must send new generals to take charge!"
"Your Majesty, two cities have been lost and the generals have been captured. General Ning has seriously neglected his responsibilities and is extremely suspected of treason. I suggest that General Ning be deprived of his position as general!"
"Your Majesty, General Ning is in a delicate situation now. General Ning's father Ning Shangshu is also the Minister of the Ministry of War, in charge of the appointment of military attachés. Under the current situation, I suggest that Ning Shangshu temporarily leave his post and wait until General Ning's matter is cleared up before making a decision."
"His Majesty……"
Some ministers are sincerely providing advice, while others are taking advantage of the troubled waters and disrupting the situation for personal gain.
How bold!
For this kind of people, Yun Yaoyao would fight against one person every time, and a group of people every time she saw them!
"General Ning is suspected of serious treason? I am very pleased that Liang Guishan is so understanding and worried about the war at the border. Then I will send you to supervise the army at the border. If anything goes wrong in Longcheng, I will ask you!"
"Temporarily dismissed from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War? Then who will handle the affairs of the Ministry of War? Are you coming? Are you still shaking your head in denial? I think this is your intention!"
"One by one, it is already embarrassing to lose two cities in a border relationship. Now there is internal strife in the court, which is simply ridiculous!"
Yun Yaoyao's eyes fell on the courtiers in the front row again. This man had kind eyes and a smiling face, and seemed kind, but all the words he just said towards the Ning family with a blade under his arm came from his mouth.
"Du Shangshu, you are so targeting the Ning family, why didn't you see anyone from the Du family going to the battlefield before? He picked up the bowl to eat meat, put down the chopsticks and cursed!"
What about the official minister? She is still the supreme emperor in the 95th year, so she has to fight when she should!
Zhou Siren and others, who had been silent at first, saw His Majesty express his stance and immediately joined the battle.
Di Shunzhi, Lin Qing, and two educated trolls made up all kinds of allusions and cursed people. Zhou Siren, who had been suffering from constipation recently, was already full of anger, so he took this opportunity to vent it out.
Add to that a high-impact light that is so mean-spirited that it makes people panic, and it directly pokes the person's painful area and sprays it.
After a while, the Xuanzheng Hall became quiet, and for a while, no one dared to touch the emperor's legion.
Seeing this, Yun Yaoyao glanced at the ministers with a sharp and cold gaze, and said solemnly: "I have made a decision in my heart."
Yun Yaoyao named a few people who had been arranged by Tu Shanjin in advance: "The general in charge of Longcheng will be General Long, and the military supervisor will be..."
"It's half a month for the Xiongnu. I will find out the truth about losing two cities in one night!"
"Until the matter is investigated clearly, I will try my best to save General Ning's life, so as not to chill any general who has spent his life as a soldier!"
"After that, if anyone dares to discuss this matter again, I will send all nine of his clans to Lingnan to dig wild vegetables!"
A qualified wise king also needs to go crazy appropriately to scare his courtiers.
This trick of killing the nine tribes really worked, and the courtiers were as silent as a cicada, no longer daring to speak.
His Majesty has expressed his stance. It seems that he is determined to protect the Ning family before the matter is clarified.
Without conclusive evidence, even if these ministers wanted to continue dancing, there was nothing they could do.
One by one, they had no choice but to obediently agree and shout: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Among the courtiers, Ning Shouli looked at the high-ranking king in disbelief.
Before going to court this morning, he imagined many scenarios.
Your Majesty may follow the villain's wishes and take the opportunity to put pressure on him and dismiss him from his post in order to consolidate the power of the Ministry of War.
Your Majesty may be in a neutral position, neither caring about the captured Jiang'er nor putting pressure on the Ning family. He will wait for the truth of the matter to come out before making a decision.
But he never thought about this situation.
His Majesty stood firmly on the side of the Ning family and said he would protect Jiang'er's life!
This recognition, this trust made Ning Shouli's heart beat violently again after having been cold for many years.
As a courtier and a military general, who does not have the belief of "loyalty to the emperor and protecting the country" engraved in his heart? It is true that he has been tortured many times and suffered from suspicion and suspicion, and the passion in his heart has been wiped out time and time again, leaving only disappointment.
Ning Shouli had tears in his eyes and secretly made up his mind.
Your Majesty, if you truly trust the Ning family, if you can really save Jiang'er's life.
He would rather stay in Li, he would rather stay at home, and he is willing to serve His Majesty!
