Planning to marry the third master

Yang Ji did whatever he was told. The next day, he brought Gu Pingting into the palace and accused the emperor of being unfair and wrong. The emperor could do nothing about him.

After all, Yang Ji had made great contributions. The war had just ended not long ago. Even when the emperor was against Yang Ji, he had to control his temper. At this moment, he was complaining about injustice and he had to protect his own daughter. So where did he start to blame him?

Yang Ji stood in the Wende Hall, speaking in a rough, fast, and angry voice, saying, "If I hadn't gone to Prince Yan's Mansion yesterday, I don't know how your daughter was bullied! Something like Hehuan Powder actually happened to her. As the emperor and her father, tell me yourself, do you care if your own princess is bullied like this?"

Gu Pingting cried silently, feeling extremely aggrieved.

The emperor did not know the truth, and he had not told Prince Yan about the events in the mansion in the morning. He frowned, and was drawn into Yang Ji's emotions. He said in a deep voice, "How could such a thing happen!"

Yang Ji snorted, "A downtrodden phoenix is ​​worse than a chicken. If you don't love her, anyone can step on her. If I hadn't rushed over and happened to run into her, I don't know how she's been bullied every day!"

The emperor said to Yu Huai, "Go, find the person who knew about this yesterday. I want to ask him clearly."

Yu Huai responded: "Yes."

Yang Ji said, "Isn't there enough scandal in the royal family? How can Pingting live her life if you ask about it in such a high-profile manner? Today I have only one thing to do, which is to restore her princess status so that no one dares to bully her anymore."

The emperor hesitated and looked at the child he raised. If she had not committed a serious mistake, he would not have demoted her to a commoner in such a fit of anger.

Some time had passed, and the emperor no longer had the temper he had at that time. When he heard that she was bullied, he was also angry in his heart and said, "I will have someone investigate this matter and will not let you be bullied for nothing."

Yang Ji complained again: "No matter how wronged she is, it is not as wronged as the one you, the emperor, gave her as a father. How big a mistake could a housewife make? Are you really confused or just pretending to be confused? How could she be so capable that you, the emperor, would demote her to a commoner!

After all, a motherless child has no one to love her. If you don’t love her, I will take her to the north and no one can bully her.”

The emperor's face was dark, and he was choked and speechless. After all, Yang Ji's behavior was also because of his child. He pondered for a while and said, "I didn't expect that she would be bullied even though she had the protection of Prince Hui. She must have done something wrong to demote her. A woman meddled in the affairs of the court and almost caused others to commit a big mistake. This cannot be easily forgiven.

But General Yang is right. Pingting is my daughter after all. If she is bullied, it will be a disgrace to the royal family. I will give her another chance. If she makes another big mistake, I will not forgive her. "

Gu Pingting immediately knelt down and said, "Pingting will definitely follow the teachings of the emperor and will never make mistakes again."

The emperor sighed and began to draft an imperial edict, saying, "My words are as good as gold. I cannot take them back. I will give you the status of a princess, but you are still my daughter."

Gu Pingting kowtowed and said, "I am already satisfied to be the emperor's daughter."

The emperor wrote an imperial edict, saying, "Yu Huai, go and bring the princess to the queen, and tell her my will. Ask her to find out the injustice Pingting suffered yesterday."

Queen Wang had no children, so she treated all the children in the harem equally. The emperor had this idea, and he also wanted to know who in Bian Jing was so bold.

Yu Huai accepted the order and said to Gu Pingting, "Princess, follow me."

Gu Pingting kowtowed and said, "Pingting thanks father." Then she stood up, wiped her tears, and followed Yu Huai out of Wende Hall.

Afterwards, only the emperor and Yang Ji were left in the Wende Hall, and they began to talk about their own affairs.

The emperor said: "Everything is fine at the border."

"The war has just been decided, and it will need to be suppressed by force at first."

This made the emperor realize his purpose. The new policy had just been promulgated, and he was dissatisfied. He asked, "How are people's livelihood?"

"The northern woolen herdsmen live on livestock and are aggressive by nature. We should not take them lightly."

The emperor frowned. He had no choice but to ask, "What do you think?"

Yang Ji said: "I have no objection to replacing old soldiers with new ones, but the strength of my North Camp cannot be reduced."

It was reasonable, but it was contrary to his original intention. After pondering, he said, "I already know about this. I will send a few officials to help you manage the Northern Barbarians."

Yang Ji bowed, "Yes. Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor nodded, kept the meal and said, "Dine with me today and tell me more about the north."

Yang Ji responded, "Yes."
