I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

As for the old minister who scolded Vice General Liu just now, he hadn't been comforted by the emperor for a long time, and he panicked for a while.

He subconsciously looked at Sima Lian's back, but found that the other party had no intention of coming out to speak for him at all, which made the veteran feel inexplicably abandoned.

Thinking of this, fine beads of sweat appeared on the old minister's forehead.

"I think, compared with Vice General Liu and others, you are more rampant."

The emperor looked at the old minister coldly, and the words he said made the other party's back wet with sweat.

Originally, he never thought of standing up, but today he saw so many scholar-bureaucrats standing up to help Sima Lian.

He felt that if he didn't show up at this time, he might not be able to win any credit in front of Sima Lian in the future.

But he never imagined that he just stood up with other literati and said something more, and was actually targeted by Vice General Liu and others like this.

Not to mention that the emperor would actually speak to Vice General Liu and the others. Looking at Vice General Liu's expressions, and seeing that Sima Lian and the others didn't stand up to speak for him, the old official felt ashamed.

Only now did he realize that Sima Lian had given up on him.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

The emperor sneered, "What's wrong with Wang Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, I... I shouldn't have spoken in front of Your Majesty, so please punish me."

"Forget it, since Wang Aiqing knows that she is guilty, naturally I can't let the ministers feel cold."

"Come here, Wang Shiren has disregarded the country and the country for his own selfishness. For his own self-interest, he targeted his colleagues. Considering that he is old and has served the court for many years, let's dismiss him and return to his hometown."

As the emperor's voice fell, needles could be heard throughout the hall.

Everyone thought that the emperor just punished Wang Shiren with some salary, but they didn't expect to dismiss him from office.

But didn't the emperor always value their scholar-bureaucrats the most?Why do you treat them civil servants like this today?

The civil servants didn't know the emperor's mind, but they didn't dare to be as bold as before.

But Vice General Liu and others saw the emperor's attitude today, and for a while they couldn't figure out the emperor's mind.

It is clear that the emperor was still suppressing these warriors before, but he praised those civil servants highly.

Why did he treat civil servants like this today, and even dismissed one of them?

Although he didn't know what the emperor was thinking, Vice General Liu didn't want to hurt his colleagues around him at this time, so he didn't ask for a fight again.

The same is true for Sima Lian and others. There is obviously something wrong with today's emperor, and they don't want to show up at this time.

"Since all the lovers still can't come up with a good solution today, let's go to court first and discuss it tomorrow!"

Seeing the emperor leave, everyone immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Seeing the emperor leave, Vice General Liu and the others had sad expressions on their faces.

"General Liu, what are we going to do? Is it really going to drag on day by day?"

"That's right, Old General Wang is seriously ill, and the border is unguarded. It will be a matter of time before the border is breached."

"General Liu, Your Majesty..."

"Let's go back and discuss. Your Majesty's mind has been shaken. There is still hope for the Northern Expedition."

Vice General Liu glanced in the direction of the main hall, and then left with a group of generals.

And all the civil servants headed by Sima Lian saw the back of Vice General Liu and others leaving, their eyes were gloomy.

"Prime Minister, His Majesty may have changed his mind."

Sima Lian did not expect the emperor's actions today.

But he did not forget the emperor's favor for him over the years.

I am afraid that this trust will not dissipate in a short time.

And in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor couldn't help but close his eyes when he heard the report from the hidden guard.

"Continue to stare at Sima Mansion."

Watching the dark guard leave, a person came out from behind the screen.

"Your Majesty, are you suspicious of Sima Lian?"

The emperor looked at the person in front of him and poured tea for him himself.

"Imperial brother has been away from Beijing for many years, isn't he returning to Beijing now to deal with Sima Lian?"

Hearing this, King Ling couldn't help chuckling.

He and the current emperor are brothers, and he is the most trusted person of the emperor.It's just that when the current sage took this position, he had already left Beijing.

Over the years, many forces have attempted to win over King Ling.It's a pity that King Ling has already traveled among the people, and no one knows his whereabouts.

"Brother Huang, I don't know Sima Liansu, what are you going to do with him?"

The emperor looked at the person lying on the opposite side, feeling helpless.

"You, now that you have finally returned to Beijing, can't you let your mother save some time?"

Ling Wang looked indifferent, "I've been to my mother before, and I let her go away a long time ago to vent my anger. Am I not worrying enough?"

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but shook his head.It can be seen that the emperor has nothing to do with his own brother.

"Do something for me."

The emperor spoke suddenly, but his brows and eyes drooped slightly, he just looked at the tea in the cup in his hand, and didn't look at King Ling, as if what he just said was not what he said.

King Ling raised his eyelids, "Brother Huang just tell me what's going on, why are you being polite to me?"

Hearing this, the emperor got up and walked to the table.

After a while, a letter was placed in front of King Ling.

"Give this letter to Zhang Siyuan."

King Ling looked at the emperor after hearing what the emperor said.

"Zhang Siyuan, isn't the emperor afraid of him?"

The emperor couldn't help but glared at King Ling's words when he heard the obvious spectator's tone.

"Am I jealous of him, or is he leaving by himself?"

Although he was afraid of generals, he had never been afraid of Zhang Siyuan.

It was Zhang Siyuan himself who proposed to leave Beijing at the beginning. He tried to persuade him to stay but failed to keep him. What can he do?

"Brother Huang wants to find him back, I'm afraid it will not be an easy task."

The emperor sighed, "Why don't I know? Otherwise, I wouldn't let you deliver the letter."

King Ling turned over and sat up from the chair, "I can send the letter, I don't know what benefits the emperor wants to give me?"

"what do you want?"

King Ling narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "I want to follow Zhang Siyuan."

"no!"

When the emperor heard this, he refused without thinking.

However, Ling Wang threw the letter on the table and leaned back on the chair again.

"In that case, I will not go with this letter from Brother Huang."

The emperor had no choice but to say, "Zhang Siyuan is the one who leads the army to fight. I don't believe you don't know how dangerous it is for you to follow him. Besides, if the empress finds out about this matter, the empress will not let you go."

"It's fine if the emperor doesn't tell the queen mother."

"Do you think I can hide it from my mother?"

"That depends on the ability of the emperor, I believe in the emperor."
