Exile at the beginning: Take the system and sister-in-law to farm

"Now that all the members of the Protectorate's Palace have been exiled, have they found any priceless treasures in the palace? This younger brother of mine has been serving as the Protector General for more than thirty years! In these thirty years, it is certain that You have accumulated a lot of valuable treasures, you must present these treasures to me one by one! I want to see them one by one!"

Yan Nandu likes to collect valuable treasures. This is one of his major hobbies.

"I ordered the imperial guards to search the house! This must be over now!" Li Rui clasped his hands in fists, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

seriously.

He really wanted to go to the Duke Protector's house in person, but because he had such a heavy responsibility, it would be a bit of a loss of status to go and ransack the house in person.

and.

During the house search, if something happened, I would have a hard time escaping it.

So he handed over the arduous task to the palace guards.

The Palace Guards are a group of tigers and wolves under Yan Nandu. These guys belong to Yan Nandu and are fierce soldiers trained by Yan Nandu.

As soon as Li Rui finished speaking, Zhou Taishan, the commander of the Imperial Guard, wearing awe-inspiring armor, walked into the hall with the steps of a dragon and a tiger.

"Commander Zhou, will this mission go smoothly?" Yan Nandu asked expectantly.

"Return to Your Majesty..."

Zhou Taishan hesitated for a moment and said: "The last general led thousands of imperial guards, entered the Protector's Mansion unimpeded, and opened the treasure house! But he found that it was... empty, with only thousands of rusty scraps of copper and iron... ...There were also some moldy grains... No valuable gold and silver jewelry was found inside, not even a single gold coin..."

Zhou Taishan was under great pressure.

He actually didn't see anything valuable in the treasure house of the Protector's Mansion. What was even more strange was that there wasn't even a gold coin in it.

This shocked his outlook on life.

I was also impressed by the gentle breeze on the Lord Protector's sleeves.

but.

If this was reported to the emperor truthfully, the emperor might be suspected of having embezzled all the treasures for himself.

Once this crime is proven, he will be beheaded.

When he thought of this, Zhou Taishan's pressure increased sharply, and he even had the idea of ​​​​escape.

He led his troops to raid his home, but found himself alone.

Who would believe this?

Who would believe that the great general who protected the country in the empire was so poor that his family was destitute. Not only did he not have any precious jewelry, he even had no gold coins and food!

"What are you talking about?? There are no rare treasures in the General Protector's treasure house?? Not even gold coins and food??" Yan Nan was stunned and in disbelief.

Li Rui and Luo Zhengfeng were also dumbfounded!

If you say this, no one will believe it, right? ?

Zhou Taishan wiped away the cold sweat, knelt on his knees, and replied solemnly: "I don't dare to deceive your majesty! What I said is true! If there are any lies, I will cut my neck and commit suicide before your majesty can be convicted... To protect In the general's treasure house, there is nothing but rusty armor-piercing weapons and moldy food!"

Zhou Taishan was afraid that the emperor would not understand, so he repeated the following words.

"How is that possible??" Li Rui was dumbfounded and would definitely not believe it.

Luo Zhengfeng chose to remain silent.

He has followed General Protector for many years, and he is a soldier trained by General Protector himself.

I know that the general who protects the country has a way of commanding the troops, runs the army well, is fair and honest, and has a breeze on his sleeves.

He has never embezzled money or food for himself, nor has he accepted bribes from other high-level officials.

Because in his opinion, he is a relative of the emperor and a general who protects the country. How can he give up for a little money?

Thinking of this, Luo Zhengfeng once again admired the general protecting the country.

A trace of remorse and guilt flashed in his eyes.

Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that the Duke Protector's Palace was already so impoverished that it was impossible to uncover the blame. Is this still the Palace Protector's Palace with high power and position, under one person? ?

Yan Nandu's eyes also flashed with remorse and shame.

I thought I could get rare treasures in my brother's mansion, but I didn't expect that my brother's mansion would be so poor...

This was really beyond his expectation.

As for Zhou Taishan...

This is the Deadpool he trained with his own hands. He has followed him for many years and saved him many times when he went hunting.

He was absolutely loyal to him and he didn't think Zhou Taishan would lie to him.

Then.

Is the Protectorate really impoverished?

If this is true, what will the whole family eat?

Yan Nan discovered for the first time that he seemed to have killed his half-brother by mistake!

Maybe this younger brother never thought about rebellion at all. He was too cautious, fearing that his younger brother would invade the country with soldiers and seize the throne from him, so he used the heart of a gentleman to judge the villain.

But the king's method is to kill by mistake rather than regret it.

Although he blamed himself in his heart, he did not express it in words.

"His Majesty……"

Li Rui stood up, clasped his hands and said: "If the Protector's Palace is really impoverished, it is enough to show that... the Protector's General has developed a desire to rebel! It just shows that His Majesty's beheading, exile, and confiscation of his family have actually made a clear decision. choose!"

"Ang? Where did you start talking about this?" After hearing this, Yan Nandu's inner self-blame eased slightly.

"If I'm not wrong, it's not that there are no treasures in the Protector's Mansion, but... the Protector has already moved all the valuable treasures to the border areas in advance, and then secretly conspired to collude with the enemy and treason! And these The role of treasures is to recruit troops and prepare for a rainy day! If relocating the treasures is the first step, then the second step is to move the family members! But His Majesty was wise and sensed in advance that the general who protected the country was rebellious, so that the family had not yet been moved. Border, they made the decision in advance to behead, exile, and confiscate their homes!"

Li Rui's words instantly changed Yan Nandu's mentality.

Luo Zhengfeng on the side was stunned.

He was impressed by Li Rui's mind and felt that he was not suitable for politics at all.

It seemed that he had taken the position of General of the Cavalry, but in his opinion, he was sitting in this position completely confused.

Without Li Rui's planning and arrangements, he would probably still be one of the three dragon generals, and he might also be beheaded at this time.

He understands the importance of maneuvering.

It seems that if I want to secure this position, I still need to study hard, study hard, and ask more advice from Li Rui.

Now, he is already under the control of one person in the empire. Such huge rights allow him to enjoy the glory and wealth that others have never enjoyed.

He craves power.

This also invisibly breeds his huge ambition.

He knew that it was extremely cold at high places, so he was cautious and cautious, walking on thin ice.

He was also afraid that one day he would become a general protecting the country.

He hoped that day would come later, or better not come at all.

Zhou Taishan breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew his head was saved!

At least His Majesty did not doubt him, Li Rui did not point the finger at him, and Luo Zhengfeng did not speak against him.

It seems that he is the commander of the imperial guards, but he is like a tiger accompanying a king!

If you are not careful, your head will move.

When you are a powerful minister, you should also be careful of villains to prevent your boat from capsizing in the gutter.
