Quickly wear "I am the empress"

While Zhao Shu was speechless, Zhiyu happily handed him his battle plan.

"Brother, the Northern Liao was recently established in the north. You can take the Western Xia soldiers to destroy it."

Zhao Shu stared at Zhiyu in silence, "You won't give me soldiers?"

Zhiyu shook his head, "No."

"I plan to send these soldiers you brought to support Yang Wencai."

Zhao Shu frowned upon hearing this, "Isn't Yang Wencai stationed at the border?"

Zhiyu nodded, "That's right."

"Now the Jurchens are not attacking the Song Dynasty, but are attacking the Eastern Liao Dynasty instead."

"The entire Khitan belongs to our Great Song. The Jurchens, don't even think about getting a piece of the pie."

Zhao Shu twitched his lips and said helplessly: "Princess, I promised Xixia."

"After the matter is accomplished, we will share Khitan with them."

Zhiyu waved his hand nonchalantly, "We'll talk about Xixia after we conquer Khitan."

Hearing this, Zhao Shu said no more, but pursed his lips and said hesitantly, "Princess, when I return to Bianjing in the future, can I ask for a favor from you?"

"Brother, just say it."

Zhao Shu lowered his head and said, "I want to go back to the Prince's Mansion of Runan County."

Hearing this, Zhiyu stared at him for a moment, "Brother, are you sure?"

Zhao Shu nodded, his expression very firm: "I'm sure."

As he spoke, a bitter look appeared on his face, "Being adopted by an official family is not what I want."

"My status is awkward now. Going back to the Prince's Mansion of Runan County is the right path for me."

Zhiyu raised her eyebrows, smiled faintly and shook her head: "Then you have to think about it carefully."

"I'm afraid the Prince of Runan will not agree to this."

Seeing Zhiyu's all-seeing expression, Zhao Shu smiled bitterly, "As long as the emperor nods, it will be fine."

"My father's opinion is not important."

Hearing this, Zhiyu nodded silently, "I will mention this to my father."

Zhao Shu bowed, "Thank you, Princess."

Zhiyu waved his hand: "You're welcome, big brother."

—

After Zhao Shu went to attack Northern Liao, Zhiyu sent all the Song soldiers brought by Zhao Shu to the east to support Yang Wencai. At the same time, people from the Imperial City Bureau were also massacring Dading Prefecture.

Those who are against the Song Dynasty cannot be kept, those sent by various forces cannot be kept, and those of the Khitan royal family cannot be kept if possible...

By the time Zhiyu encountered no more assassination attempts in Dading Prefecture, winter had arrived.

One after another, the good news reached Bian Jing. Zhao Zhen was so happy that he couldn't help showing off to his ministers in the court:

"Everyone in the world laughs at me, Zhao Zhen, for being an emperor but not being able to give birth to a son, but the daughter I gave birth to is better than any man in the world."

"If you have a daughter like this, why would you want a son?"

When they heard Zhao Zhen's words, the smiles on the officials' faces froze instantly.

Princess Yan had not appeared in the court for a long time, and they almost forgot her embarrassing identity.

When the princess fell off the cliff and her life or death was unknown, they all thought she was dead, so they reluctantly agreed to the emperor's posthumous title of crown prince.

Now the princess is back alive and has made military achievements.

What is her current identity, a princess or a crown prince?

In the silence of the court, an elegant and easy-going official stood up and said, "I dare to ask the emperor."

"I wonder how the emperor will deal with the case of the Princess of Yan deceiving the emperor?"

After hearing what this minister said, the other ministers' eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, they almost forgot that the princess did not die after falling off the cliff, but they did not report it. Isn't this a crime of deceiving the emperor?

In order to posthumously confer the title of crown prince on Princess Yan, the emperor killed many people and confiscated many properties.

Now that the Princess of Yan has returned safely, she must be punished for deceiving the emperor, otherwise those who were killed by the government would have died in vain.

Sima Guang is worthy of being a book editor, he knows how to find the key points.

If the princess is found guilty of deceiving the emperor, the emperor would be too embarrassed to appoint Princess Yan as the crown prince, right?

Seeing Sima Guang standing in the middle of the hall with his back straight, the smile on Zhao Zhen's face gradually cooled.

"The crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"How could I not know that the princess has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Sima Guang cupped his hands meticulously and said, "Your Majesty, the princess didn't die after falling off the cliff, but you didn't show up earlier and let the court posthumously confer her the title of crown prince. This... is deceiving the emperor."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen sneered, "Deceiving the emperor?"

"The princess fell off a cliff and narrowly escaped death, and you actually said she was deceiving the king."

"Why, if I throw you, Sima Guang, off a cliff, can you climb up and report safety the next day?"

Sima Guang shook his head, "Sir, I cannot do this."

"But even if I am injured, I can ask someone to take a letter to the government and have them pick me up."

Zhao Zhen sneered, "Is that so? Then my dear, you are in really good health."

"I was able to get up and write a letter the day after I fell off a cliff."

Hearing Zhao Zhen's unfriendly tone, Sima Guang cupped his hands meticulously and said, "Your Majesty, it is a good thing that the princess survived the disaster, but everyone in the world knows that the princess has passed away."

"Now that the princess has returned safely, if the emperor does not punish her, wouldn't it be telling the world that anyone can deceive the emperor?"

Seeing Sima Guang's high-sounding words, Zhao Zhen curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer.

"No one in the world can deceive the emperor, but the Princess of Yan can."

"She is the commander-in-chief of this attack on Khitan and has absolute decision-making power on the battlefield. She did not report back in order to paralyze the enemy. Why should I punish her?"

"Officials, let's keep things simple."

"The princess has made great contributions in attacking Khitan, but it is also true that she deceived the emperor. Please punish the Princess of Yan."

Seeing how brave Sima Guang was, many court officials looked at him with admiration.

Sima Guang usually keeps a low profile, but now he is unexpectedly so...unafraid of power.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Sima Guang coldly: "The princess is innocent, how should she be punished?"

Seeing that Zhao Zhen still refused to give in, the other ministers became anxious and quickly stood up with their tablets and said, "Your Majesty, what Lord Sima said makes sense. Please punish the Princess of Yan."

Seeing that these ministers could no longer sit still, Zhao Zhen smiled coldly, waved his sleeves and left the thatched cottage, leaving the ministers alone staring at each other in dismay.

When Eunuch Zhang saw Zhao Zhen leaving, he quickly shouted, "Dismiss the court..."

After saying this, Eunuch Zhang happily went after Zhao Zhen.

The ministers looked at Zhao Zhen who suddenly left, and then looked at the others kneeling, headed by Sima Guang. For a moment, they were unsure whether they should leave the court or not.

After returning to Chuigong Hall angrily, Zhao Zhen rubbed his temples vigorously and said, "Someone come!"

Hearing Zhao Zhen's call, a waiter hurried over and said, "Your Majesty."

Zhao Zhen's face was as gloomy as water, and he said with a stern look, "Go check those people kneeling in the Golden Palace to see if anyone in their family has done anything wrong."

"Remember, check carefully and don't miss any clues."

"Yes, official."

After the waiter left, Zhao Zhen's eyes became colder, and he wanted to accuse An'er of something before she came back...

Do these people think that he, as a father, is dead?
