Chapter 1302: Three More Requests

General Zhenbei turned and looked at the deputy general, "Go down and arrange for the treatment of the injured first."

After the deputy general left, General Zhenbei sat down and looked at Ye Zifen and the Supreme Court Minister. "This war has caused heavy losses, and we still have a lot to do next. This general will prepare a memorial to explain the situation as soon as possible. However, those soldiers who were wrongly accused..."

Ye Zifen raised her head and looked at General Zhenbei with a firm gaze, "General, they are all innocent and deserve fair treatment. I hope the general will not forget his promise."

Then he smiled and said, "Oh, there is one more person. I guess General Zhenbei hasn't forgotten him! I never thought that a general in the Great Xia military camp would actually do something behind his back against his own people. It's really eye-opening."

General Zhenbei's face changed slightly. He naturally knew who Ye Zifen was referring to.

"Of course I will not forget this man. He dared to betray the army. I will report him to the court and bring him to justice." General Zhenbei's tone was full of anger.

"I hope the general can do what he says, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the people." Ye Zifen said.

"I can't take back what I've said." General Zhenbei slammed the table and stood up, "I will give you an explanation."

After saying this, he turned and left, and began to deal with post-war matters.

General Zhenbei walked like a gust of wind and rain, his steps were extremely fast, as if there was a tiger chasing him from behind. The Dali Temple Minister looked at General Zhenbei's embarrassed escape and couldn't help but let out an unkind chuckle.

However, just as General Zhenbei stepped out of the tent, Ye Zifen suddenly spoke up: "General Zhenbei, why are you leaving so quickly? Haven't you explained clearly about releasing the people?"

General Zhenbei had already taken a step forward, but after hearing this, he pulled out the other foot without hesitation, as if he wanted to escape from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

The Dali Temple Minister turned to Ye Zifen and said, "Miss Ye, why do you have to force General Zhenbei to give you an explanation now? You can rest assured that as long as he wants to continue to serve as General Zhenbei, he will never dare to disobey. Moreover, the emperor's decree also clearly stated that those who are unwilling to leave should be given corresponding compensation. In my opinion, there will always be people who are unwilling to leave. So, you might as well think carefully about what kind of compensation should be given to them."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with the opinion of the Dali Temple Minister.

Her eyes were firm and calm, and she seemed to have already made up her mind.

"Thank you for your advice, sir. I understand." Ye Zifen said softly, "As for the compensation, I will consider it carefully."

The Dali Temple official shook his head and sighed in his heart: This Zhenbei General is usually so majestic, but today he is so embarrassed. However, this also shows that this incident has indeed brought him a lot of pressure.

The Dali Temple Minister said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Just now I discussed with General Zhenbei how to compensate those who were wrongly accused, but you also know that all kinds of supplies are very scarce in the barracks now, even the soldiers are short of winter clothes. You also saw the equipment of the vanguard army... I think this matter should be reported to the emperor, and the emperor will make the decision."

Ye Zifen sneered and said, "How could I not know that the Dali Temple Minister is so easy to deceive? Other supplies may be in short supply in the military camp, but there must be some new cotton-padded clothes if there are no old ones! What's more, I prepared more than 10,000 new cotton-padded clothes for them more than a month ago. The vanguard troops are obviously being treated differently. Can't you see that, sir?"

Hearing this, the Dali Temple Chief was indeed shocked. He stared at Ye Zifen with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

Ye Zifen went on to say, "I think your Excellency should go to the military camp first before talking about anything else! See what the real situation there is." Her tone was firm and powerful, leaving the Dali Temple Chief Justice unable to refute.

The Dali Temple Minister hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Even so, you should give General Zhenbei some room for deployment, right? After all, he has to manage the entire army, and he may have some difficulties."

"Difficulties?" Ye Zifen chuckled, her voice full of disdain and ridicule.

"If you really have difficulties, you can just tell me clearly. I am not the kind of unreasonable and unkind person. However, now, the facts are in front of us, and General Zhenbei is still thinking about protecting his subordinates. This behavior is really disappointing!"

Ye Zifen showed no mercy to the other party and directly exposed his true intention of saying this.

She stared at him sharply and said without flinching, "If you want to speak well of General Zhenbei, then just say it out loud and honestly. Why bother to be so evasive and beat around the bush to find other topics? I'm actually a very easy person to talk to. As long as you can give me a reasonable explanation or solution, I won't make it too difficult for you."

The two men have served in the same court for many years, so it is understandable that they have some friendship. Moreover, they will meet again in the future, so saving face for each other is also the way of officials.

Ye Zifen understood this truth in her heart, so she had no intention of blaming the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.

But she never expected that there were so many shameful things hidden in the army, which really chilled Ye Zifen's heart.

At this moment, if she didn't take action, once these people colluded, she might not even have a chance to speak in the future.

As expected, the Dali Temple Minister asked, "So, what exactly does Miss Ye want?"

Ye Zifen answered firmly: "I hope that you can personally inquire about everyone on the list before General Zhenbei is prepared. If someone is willing to leave, you can let them leave and give them corresponding compensation; if they don't want to leave, you must ensure that they can enjoy the treatment they deserve in the army. As for those who choose to stay, they must return all their military merits and be promoted to the position they deserve. In addition, the actions of those arrested today must be reported to His Majesty truthfully. If you don't report it, I will return to the capital and report the matter to His Majesty!"

The last sentence is Ye Zifen’s threat.

After hearing what Ye Zifen said, the Dali Temple's face turned very ugly.

He was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I will do as Miss Ye asks."

After saying that, he turned and left the tent, probably to find General Zhenbei and start dealing with the matter.

Ye Zifen looked at his back and felt relieved.
