Chapter 578 I didn’t think that much

There was a war on the border between Song and Wei. The situation was urgent. Xie Yuan quickly packed his bags and went to the front line with his soldiers to lead the troops.

Before going, he summoned the commanders of the three city defense battalions and the imperial army, and told them that they must protect the safety of the little emperor, and if they were in doubt, they should go to Shen Guozhu.

Sun Tian and Zhou Ming looked at her and were worried. Sun Tian said:

"General, let us go with you. I don't think it's good if you go alone."

Xie Yuan smiled and said:

"How can I be the only one? There are so many soldiers in the army. Besides, how many soldiers are there on the front line..."

Zhou Fu frowned worriedly and said:

"You know, that's not what we meant."

The small smile on Xie Yuan's face gradually extinguished and turned into solemnity. Her red eyes drooped and her tone comforted them and she said:

"Don't worry about me. Master has made arrangements. The Shen family has a foothold on the front line. They will take care of me and won't be alone. The key is you. The situation in the capital is complicated. You must be careful not to let others take advantage of you. Don't let others take advantage of you." It’s someone else’s fault.”

"Hey..." Zhou Min sighed, unable to say anything else. He turned to look at Chen Jiu and Li Huanshi and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Li Huanshi said with a drooped face and dissatisfaction:

"I don't like the capital, I don't like the present, I still like the days when I followed... followed General Jie."

Xie Yuan glanced at his eyes and said in a cold voice:

"Don't say it's useless. As long as you have the heart to serve the country with loyalty, there is nothing complicated. Just do your job well."

"Yes." He responded dully.

Ever since everyone knew that Xie Yuan was a girl, Li Huanshi was very conflicted. This kind of resistance... Xie Yuan was all too familiar with.

Just like when the old emperor found out, he was anxious, angry and unwilling to accept it.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan couldn't help feeling a little emotional: The people who followed her had mixed reactions to the exposure of her identity.

Sun Tian found out because of the emergency, so he felt more sorry for her, and usually protected her more. Sometimes Xie Yuan even felt that Sun Tian was like a big brother who protected her, like a relative.

As for Zhou Mian... Zhou Mian had some vague guesses before. After knowing that his guess was confirmed, he accepted it very quickly, almost no different from before. There was even a vague mystery that was finally solved. A sense of relaxation.

Kesande... Kesande was very conflicted. On the one hand, he thought she was a good general, but on the other hand, he felt pity and shame for her. This attitude made him sensitive and angry.

It is so difficult for people who have been with her for so many years to accept her identity as a girl, let alone other people who have never been in contact with her.

Thinking about this, she smiled bitterly, raised her eyes and looked at Chen Jiu, who once frankly said that he would help her, but now, due to the pressure of rumors, deliberately kept a distance from her, she said with a smile:

"Commander Chen Dutong...Commander Liu, I need to ask you two to take care of these brothers of mine."

She raised her hands and cupped her fists in salute, her movements were elegant and handsome, and her demeanor was heart-wrenching.

Liu Guangtai and Chen Jiu looked at her, their eyes flashed, they raised their hands involuntarily, and responded:

"Don't worry."

"My brothers deserve it."

Xie Yuan nodded, no longer staying, got on his horse neatly, and galloped away with the team. Just like before, once he decided to leave, he never looked back, he was decisive and resolute.

…

…

In the Hall of Wende, Eunuch He was typing books, holding a pen in his hand, slowly gesturing at the names above, and writing on the paper.

Shen Qingzhi looked anxiously on the side and finally asked:

"Eunuch He, this matter is of great importance. Let me ask you, is there anything unusual happening in the court recently? Is there any news that is not conducive to Your Majesty?"

After Eunuch He finished writing, he looked up at him and said:

"...I'm a little curious. By asking these questions, are you testing me to see if I know your movements?"

Shen Qingzhi was stunned, and it took him a while to react, and said angrily:

"What do you mean?"

Eunuch He still said calmly:

"What does Shen Guozhu mean? Is Shen Guozhu not clear in his heart? At midnight the night before yesterday, a total of three groups of people entered your residence. The last two people had a huge quarrel in your residence and even slapped the table."

Shen Qingzhi's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of sadness and disappointment in his eyes, and he said sadly:

"You have planted spies in my house."

Eunuch He had a good personal relationship with Shen Qing, so he could hear the sadness in his words, so he blinked his eyes and said in a cold and indifferent tone:

"The responsibilities have been assigned a long time ago. It's just a question of whether they should be used or not."

"So, even you think that I, Shen Qingzhi, will seek power and usurp the country?" Shen Qingzhi asked.

Eunuch He looked at him and said seriously:

"...people's hearts will always change. Since you can't, why didn't you report those two people to the court when they persuaded you? Isn't it right for you to protect these two rebellious traitors? Give them hope so that they can make trouble underneath, form cliques for personal gain, and push you to the throne of the emperor step by step?!"

Shen Qingzhi was shaken and said for a long time:

"I didn't think that much...the relationship between the Central Government and Your Majesty...more. I just felt that there was no need to kill a family just because of an idea."

Eunuch He was anxious and said solemnly:

"You don't think so much, but others think too much. Do you know what those two people have been doing in the past two days? They are lobbying people everywhere, trying to win over neutral people to join you. If you really don't have that Heart, you should report their crimes in front of everyone in the court, so that those who are watching can completely stop thinking about them!"

Shen Qingzhi looked desolate, nodded for a while, and said:

"You are right... I will do this tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned around and left. His back, which had been bent a lot due to hard work, became even more bent, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

At this moment... he seemed to see that his future was not bright.

The moment he stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly stopped and asked:

"My son said that those who used to follow Ma Guogong...had the intention to rebel and establish a new emperor. Did you know that?"

When Eunuch He heard this, his face became more and more gloomy, and he said dullly:

"You take care of your people, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

After hearing this, Shen Qingzhi didn't look back. He still nodded dejectedly and left.

Then, in the court hall on the second day, he did what Eunuch He said and reported Yu Xiao and Huo Nanzhi in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

He even told them what they had done to encourage him to become self-reliant, expressing his attitude.

The ministers were in an uproar...
