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

Liu Ding obviously relaxed a lot when he heard Xuanyuan Ke's name.

When Governor Yang arrived at the general's residence, Liu Ding was still bandaging his wounds.

Zheng Yuan did not hide anything and informed Sun Yuansi of his treason.

Governor Yang immediately jumped up and said, "Beast! That countryman killed so many of our generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Is it true that his conscience was eaten by a dog?"

Finally, with Zheng Yuan's comfort, Prefect Yang gradually calmed down.

Zheng Yuan sighed. At first, he thought that Governor Yang was just a gentle civil servant.

But after knowing each other for a long time, he realized how hot-tempered this old master was.

Zheng Yuan felt that if he didn't stop him, Governor Yang would be able to rush out of the city with his sword.

"I will definitely report this to Your Majesty. Since General Liu is still treating his wounds, I won't bother you for now."

Seeing that Governor Yang was about to leave in a hurry, how could Zheng Yuan dare to stop him?

He got up and sent the person out personally.

……

In the capital, various ministers' offices also received letters from the border on the fifth day.

When everyone saw that Liu Ding had actually gone to the border, they were shocked and at the same time a little more frightened.

When did Liu Ding go to the capital?Why don't they know about this?

Some people wanted to go find Sima Lian, but seeing that it was getting late, they could only send people to Sima Lian's mansion to report the news.

When Sima Lian saw Liu Ding appearing in the border city, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

At the beginning, he felt that something was wrong with Liu Ding, but now it seems that his intuition was not wrong.

Seeing that Liu Ding was out at the border with something that could make the city wall as solid as a rock, Sima Lian always felt that something was out of his control.

Sima Lian stayed up all night, and so did the civil servants in the city who had other thoughts.

When the ministers went to court in the morning on the second day, the civil servants looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding.

The emperor also received a letter from Governor Yang last night. When he learned that Sun Yuansi had collaborated with the enemy, he kicked the imperial case over in anger.

But we also know that there will definitely be many people behind Sun Yuansi.

The emperor appeared with a gloomy face early in the morning, and after everyone shouted long live, some civil servants stood up.

The emperor looked at the ministers who stood up with a somewhat indifferent expression.

However, the civil servants who were eager to show off in front of Sima Lian did not realize this. Instead, they looked at the emperor with a look of arrogance.

It was as if the person sitting above was not the emperor, but the people working under him.

When the emperor saw the man's expression, the fingers hidden in his sleeves tightened slightly, but his expression did not change much.

Seeing this, Liao Cheng couldn't help but frown.

But the emperor didn't speak, so he could only lower his head again.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

"What's wrong with Zhou Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, I heard yesterday that General Liu Ding and Liu appeared in the border city. Your Majesty must punish Liu Ding severely for this matter."

With someone taking the lead, people who did not want to be robbed of credit by Zhou Yushi stepped forward one after another.

"Your Majesty, as a general, Liu Ding went to the border city privately and should be severely punished!"

"Your Majesty, Liu Ding went to the border without summons and even brought soldiers with him. This is a deliberate rebellion!"

The civil servants were all filled with anger, as if Liu Ding had really committed rebellion.

When Sima Lian heard this movement, he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the emperor, but found that the emperor's expression was indifferent and showed no expression. Sima Lian's heart skipped a beat.

At this time, he wanted to stop the civil servants in the court, but it was already too late.

Seeing more and more people coming forward to accuse Liu Ding, Sima Lian couldn't help but close his eyes, as if he hadn't seen or heard these things.

However, the civil servants, who had always been at odds with military generals, saw that no one among the generals stood up to accuse Liu Ding, and immediately targeted these generals.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Liu Ding did not do this alone."

The civil servant who said this also glanced at the military commander on the other side with meaning.

The generals who had just not planned to get involved in this matter never expected that these Wencheng would actually target them.

They really didn't know anything about Liu Ding.

However, when I learned that Liu Ding actually led troops to appear at the border, I felt excited.

This also shows that they, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are not cowards and can stand with the foreigners.

But these civil servants behaved aloof in the capital.

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing that some of the generals were aroused by them, the civil servant snorted proudly.

"You don't know very well what I mean? Liu Ding was able to go to the border for such a long time without being discovered. Isn't it because you people were covering his back?"

"That is, Liu Ding went to the border without summons. Where would he put His Majesty?"

"I heard that Liu Ding still led troops to the border. He dared to mobilize troops privately. How is this different from treason?"

The generals turned blue with anger as they listened to the nonsense of these civil servants.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I really had no involvement in this matter!"

Some military generals clasped their fists and saluted the emperor, hoping that the emperor would believe them.

They knew that the emperor valued civil servants, but none of them dared to bear the charge of rebellion.

Although they knew that the emperor might not believe what they said, they still had to prove it to themselves.

The emperor did not respond to the generals, which made the generals' hearts gradually sink.

When the civil servant saw this, he became even more proud.

"Your Majesty, among these people there must be those who have the same rebellious intentions as Liu Ding. You must investigate them strictly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, military generals are causing harm to the country. If they really have treason, I'm afraid they have already made arrangements. Although I am a civil servant, for Your Majesty's sake, I am willing to investigate these rebels on Your Majesty's behalf!"

Someone stood up directly and convicted the generals without waiting for them to refute.

Sima Lian couldn't help but sigh as he listened to the increasingly arrogant voices of the civil servants behind him and looked at the emperor's face that showed no trace of his thoughts.

If he had known that today would be like this, he would have asked the Eighth Prince to come with him to the morning court.

No matter what, with the Eighth Prince's intercession, I'm afraid these people can still be saved.

But now...

He was not sure about the emperor's thoughts anymore.

If it were the previous emperor, he might have been able to save some people by interceding.

But now the emperor's expression is no different from that of the decisive and decisive general when he raised his army.

Under such circumstances, Sima Lian had already guessed the fate of these colleagues.

But he couldn't remind him. If he spoke at this time, he was afraid that the emperor would shift his suspicion to him.

Perhaps the emperor had long been suspicious of him, but there was never any evidence.

Thinking of this, Sima Lian's breathing became lighter.He lowered his head even lower, not daring to raise his head again to secretly look at the emperor's face.
