"I understand, brother, do you think I should go to the door in person to plead guilty to that Zhao Kang?"
Lin Lang said helplessly.
Lin Yu snorted coldly: "No need, I just wanted to use his appointment as a marquis to turn the conflict into friendship. I didn't expect this guy to be so unkind. We, the Lin family, still have the backbone."
"What's more, it doesn't matter if he has been granted the title of Marquis. Today, he closed the door to thank guests and turned away all the congratulators. This has made people inside and outside the imperial capital unhappy. Those guys are very concerned about face, and Taifu Zhao is adding to the trouble."
"Without us taking action, someone will naturally teach him Zhao Kang a lesson."
Lin Lang nodded: "That's right, I understand."
Lin Yu then urged: "But during this period, you'd better not have any disputes with Zhao Kang. He has just been ennobled and is gaining momentum. Your Majesty will naturally protect him so that the gains will not outweigh the losses."
"Brother, don't worry, I know what's going on." Lin Lang left after saying this.
Although he felt distressed to lose his position as minister of Honglu Temple and still have to donate his family property, he was still a member of the clan after all.
As the saying goes, a tiger cannot fall even if it dies, and the Lin family's wealth is enough to support him.
And just when the Qian Kingdom was in turmoil because Zhao Kang was granted the title of Marquis, other places were not at peace either.
Hua Jingcheng, the imperial capital of the Jing Kingdom.
The female general Ye Hongxue walked through the door of the hall under the guidance of the eunuch, and walked in facing the joking eyes of countless people.
Kneeling on her knees, Ye Hongxue said in a deep voice: "My lord, Ye Hongxue, is here to see your majesty. Long live my emperor."
Emperor Jing's eyes were lowered and his tone was cold: "General Ye, please get up."
Ye Hongxue then stood up, and Emperor Jing said: "General, please tell me why this time the Three Kingdoms joined forces to end like this?"
Ye Hongxue did not hide anything and briefly explained the process of Zhao Kangwen's fight against Zhang Sheng.
The ministers were shocked, and even the pretentious Emperor Jing was a little horrified.
"There is someone in the world who can surpass Zhang Zi in literature!"
Ye Hongxue nodded: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. Zhao Kang is a rare talent in the world."
Someone snorted coldly: "Even so, the general shouldn't have failed!"
Ye Hongxue saw that it was Prime Minister Chen Kai. Most of the official systems in various countries were the same, but there were also differences in subtleties.
For example, the head of the officials of Jingguo is the prime minister.
"What do you have to say, Prime Minister?" Ye Hongxue said calmly.
Chen Kai sneered: "Everyone in our Jingguo knows that in terms of martial arts, General Ye is definitely one of the top three in our Jingguo. Even Xiao Linglong, the empress of Qianguo, will never be his opponent."
"Why, even the prince of Zhou Dynasty, King Qi, wanted to send an assassin to kill Zhao Kang, but the general remained indifferent?"
"General, don't say that Zhao Kang is both civilized and martial, and his martial arts skills can compete with the general."
Ye Hongxue fell silent and did not explain anything.
Chen Kai added: "If you, Ye Hongxue, had taken action, then Zhao Kang would have died even if he had ten lives. How could Wen win over Zhang Zi? You, Ye Hongxue, have an unshirkable responsibility for this defeat!"
Someone chuckled: "Master Prime Minister, please calm down. Maybe it's Zhao Kang who looks like a jade tree in the wind, and our General Ye may secretly agree to it."
"It turns out that our General Ye didn't take action, but wanted to use a honey trap!" Someone else said in a strange way.
"Hahahahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter, but Ye Hongxue's eyes remained indifferent.
As she and Zhao Kang had said, she, Ye Hongxue, took the position of General of Jingguo as a woman.
How can you not be jealous of others?
What's more, there are many women in Jingguo. As long as a man can afford to support them, he can marry as many as he wants.
This situation created the idea that men were superior to women in Jingguo, which was far stronger than that in other countries.
Under this background, Ye Hongxue's strong cultivation and high position aroused not the admiration of others, but deep jealousy.
Especially a group of general military attachés, how could they stand it when a woman was riding on their head and giving orders!
Therefore, Ye Hongxue is not actually as respected as outsiders think.
Despite being ridiculed by everyone, Ye Hongxue did not open his mouth to defend himself. Emperor Jing sat on the dragon chair and watched this scene, feeling suspicious in his heart.
Then he said: "That's enough."
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Emperor Jing snorted coldly and said: "Ye Hongxue neglected the affairs of the state as if they were nothing, which resulted in the failure of this forced coup plan. I am announcing that Ye Hongxue will be removed from the position of General. We will discuss how to retain his rank and appoint him in the future."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Everyone shouted and looked at Ye Hongxue with smiles, trying to see some reluctance and resentment on the female general's face.
It's a pity that there is still a feeling of indifference.
After the break.
In the palace, as outsiders thought, there was no anger on Emperor Jing Wu Rulong's face, but he just looked at the woman kneeling opposite him with some confusion.
Ye Hongxue was dressed in white and had a snow-covered skirt spread out, looking like a plum blossom in the snow.
"I don't quite understand."
Wu Rulong sighed: "You have always been my most loyal minister, why did you choose to be indifferent this time?"
Ye Hongxue lowered her head: "I am guilty."
"There are too many eyes staring at you in the court. I warned you when I made you a general. You can't make a mistake under their gaze."
Wu Rulong clicked his tongue: "You have done well over the years, but something went wrong this time. There must be some reason for this?"
Ye Hongxue nodded, but still didn't speak when he saw her.
Wu Rulong added: "Removing you from the position of general this time can be regarded as blocking their mouths, but it may be difficult for you to return to that position in the future. I want to know what prevented you from doing so this time. Take action."
Ye Hongxue took a deep breath and said quietly: "Zhao Kang is a great talent in this world. It is a pity to kill him. I want him to serve our country, Jingguo."
"Oh? This is the first time I've seen you praise a man so much, twice."
Wu Rulong became interested: "I already know about his literary talent. If it is just that, it shouldn't be enough. The most useless thing in troubled times is a talented person. Sit down and talk."
Ye Hongxue stood up to thank her, and after thinking for a while, she told everything about what happened after meeting Zhao Kang in Qian Country.
The more Emperor Jing listened, the more surprised he became: "There is such a strange person?"
Ye Hongxue thought for a while, then said: "Your Majesty, it's not just that. Zhao Kang invented something that can be called the most terrifying weapon on the battlefield, and the country of Qian is already studying this thing. I was once killed by this thing within twenty breaths." He was seriously injured and had to rest for five days before he could go to the ground."
"This is impossible!" Wu Rulong was shocked.
He knows better than anyone how strong Ye Hongxue is, just as Prime Minister Chen Kai said before.
Ye Hongxue's martial arts skills were enough to rank among the top three in Jingguo, and the number one master in Jingguo was none other than Wu Rulong. Even if he tried his best, it would take him hundreds of moves to defeat Ye Hongxue.
But now Ye Hongxue told him.
Something could seriously injure her in twenty breaths!
