"Your Majesty, my dear daughter is still very young, not even an adult yet, but she has already shouldered the heavy responsibility of fighting against the Northern Barbarians with her frail shoulders!"

Hiss, when he opened his mouth, all the ministers trembled.

"Now she is advocating to build the new city of Guixiong. It is so poor there. There are no people and no goods. She is just a young girl. If the soldiers don't believe in her, how can she stabilize the northern front?"

He glared at Feng Liyan and said, "With only 50,000 iron ore, we need to make agricultural tools to support the people, in addition to the war-damaged weapons and armor. How can we have too much? Yet there are still those people with such a narrow mind who are jealous and slander us."

"Now the rebels behind An Ziji have set their sights on her. As an old father, I am worried day and night and wish I could go over and protect her myself."

Xiao Yuanshan opened fire at full force, not giving Feng Liyan a chance to speak:

"It's hard to support soldiers, they need money and weapons; it's hard to protect people's livelihood, they need food, drink and stability. My dear son has exhausted all his energy to ask the court and His Majesty for some help. What's wrong with that?"

"Some people are ignorant of the suffering of the people. It is already the end of spring and the north is cold early. If you don't race against time to make farm tools to help the people resume spring farming, will my dear son just watch everyone starve to death or just wait for charity from the court?"

"Fortunately, her mother was blessed by God and discovered this iron mine, which happened to be used nearby. How much time did this save for the recovery of the Northland?"

Uh, thinking of Xiao Zhixing’s face and then thinking of her mother, the ministers shuddered.

Also, Mr. Xiao, you keep calling His Majesty "good boy". Are you sure you are not trying to irritate His Majesty?

"My dear son has to ensure that the people have enough food to eat despite the criticism from some people. What's wrong with that?"

"She is right! Instead, she thought ahead to what Your Majesty was thinking, stabilizing the country and the people, and relieving Your Majesty's worries. This is truly a great achievement!"

"Besides, she has already come to the court to explain that she has made an emergency decision and that the iron ore is used by the army and the people. She did not use it for personal gain. It's not a big deal. We can just send someone to investigate. How could someone accuse her of contempt for the emperor's authority?"

Xiao Yuanshan suddenly turned to Feng Liyan and roared, "I'm not even dead yet, and you dare to slander and humiliate my dear son?"

With a bang, the jade tablet in his hand smashed hard on Feng Liyan's face: "Despicable villain!"

Oops.

To blame someone for something that is not his fault.

This was to vent his anger over the attack on Jianan Pass and the seizure of military power.

The civil servants beside him, including Grand Tutor Li, Duke Li, and Huo Jindao, all stepped back in unison, staying away from Feng Liyan to avoid being accidentally injured by Xiao Yuanshan.

Feng Liyan covered his red and swollen face and shouted angrily, "Xiao Yuanshan! You, you are so rude, how dare you roar in the court?"

Xiao Yuanshan rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on his hips and sneered:

"I've always been like this. I take revenge when I have a grudge. I never do anything crooked or evil to plot against others behind their backs. If I'm angry, I vent it right away. What? Was what I just said wrong?"

Feng Liyan was so angry that he was shaking and pointing at him, "A reckless man! A country bumpkin! How arrogant!!"

"Heh, I didn't bring my axe today, that's arrogant."

Now the whole world knows that he was so proud of himself that Xiao Kui was frightened into fleeing in panic with his axe and face.

The emperor had no objection to bringing the axe into the palace. After all, it was the key weapon to lift the siege of Yanshan and save the emperor from eternal infamy.

Feng Liyan fell backwards in anger, turned around and knelt down to beg, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please look at him!"

The ministers were so embarrassed that they decided to sue the parents if they couldn't win. Tsk tsk, Feng Liyan was indeed no match for Xiao Mafu.

Zhao Yunqi rubbed his temples with his fingers and sighed deeply, "Alright, alright, what are you talking about, Feng Qing, step back, Yuanshan, you have to show mercy when you can."

Feng Liyan retreated in frustration.

Xiao Yuanshan bowed to the emperor and said, "My son is a little willful in his actions, but his original intention is to serve the country. Your Majesty, please understand and don't listen to the words of treacherous people and hurt the hearts of loyal ministers and generals."

The traitor Feng Liyan: You are going too far! You are going too far!!

[Hahahaha, my Marshal Xiao is still as charming as ever. When it comes to scolding people, he is a professional! ]

[Although he didn't have much education, he can speak. He became famous by talking about the deaths of several rebels. This letter is asking for trouble.]

[That’s right, my great marshal clearly came here today to support my daughter. Feng Da slapped him in the face, so he naturally didn’t hold back.]

[Looking back on Marshal Xiao's life, he seemed rough and unrestrained, and even dared to beat up Concubine Zhang and others, committing crimes, but he lived a comfortable life. ]

[Is this a case of appearing foolish despite being wise? ]

[He has been the marshal for so long and is still standing firm. Do you think he is really heartless? ]

[History cannot verify what happened back then, but the emperor allowed the historians to record the fact that he beat Concubine Zhang and Lord Zhang's family. I would never believe that there is no deep meaning in this.]

[Isn't it said that this is the handle that the emperor is preparing to use to kill Xiao Yuanshan in the future? Write it down first, so that when you write down his crimes later, you can convince everyone? ]

[Alas, isn't it because he has a goddess as his daughter that he lives the most comfortable life? ]

[I just want to know if Zha Zha Qi regrets being envious? Compared to my goddess, Zhao Lin is simply unbearable. ]

There was a smile in Xiao Zhixing's eyes. This was the cleverness of Xiao Yuanshan and his stable personality.

The main hall of Qiansheng Palace.

Zhao Yunqi said, "Agree with what Qi Danhe said."

He paused and then said, "As for what Yuan Sheng wants, do you have any objections?"

Xiao Yuanshan stared at Feng Liyan, as if he would beat him up on the spot if he dared to oppose him.

Li Xiao raised his hu tablet and said, "Your Majesty, what happened to Prince Xiao is indeed excusable. She single-handedly found the mines and the traces of the rebels, which is a great achievement, but she executed them first and reported later, to serve as a warning to others. Why don't we offset the merits and demerits?"

"As for the 50,000 tons of iron ore, ask her to report its use in detail and not to use it for personal purposes."

"We second the motion." said the ministers.

Everyone knew that with Xiao Zhixing's temper, he probably wouldn't return it. They also didn't want to be asked by the emperor to ask for the iron ore, which would be a thankless task.

In fact, everyone was grateful in their hearts. If she hadn't beaten the Northern Barbarians back, everyone in the siege of Yanshan might have had a bad ending.

This happened not long ago, so they are currently more tolerant of her.

No one wants to be ungrateful.

The Emperor System, who had watched the entire process, said, "Are you sure she only took 50,000? And that mine, it's impossible that it was mined out by such a coincidence."

Zhao Yunqi asked back: "Then what do you think we should do? Ask for the return of the money? Send people thousands of miles away to mine it?"

Emperor System: "I just think that Xiao Zhixing must have taken advantage of her with her wicked ambitions."

Zhao Yun was surprised and said, "Of course I know, but if you are not deaf and dumb, you will not be a master of the house. As long as she is not wrong in the general direction and remains loyal to Dasheng, I can tolerate her."

"She is greedy, martial, reckless, and arrogant. I can trust such a minister."

It is easier to control shortcomings.

If we really want to catch her in the future, these obvious things can immediately become evidence of her guilt, and they can be found out with just a little investigation.

If the person is perfect, he will consider carefully before using him.

Finally, the emperor made the final decision: to approve Xiao Zhixing's proposal, to devote all efforts to stabilizing the new city, and not to do it again.

Xiao Zhixing: I’ll dare to do it again next time!

I have already understood your mentality, so I can continue to spend my time.

However, the words spoken by the Emperor System sounded like gnashing of teeth.

If the gold mine really belonged to him, he would be so heartbroken that he would bleed. But he had to hide it from Zhao Yunqi and could not behave in any abnormal way.

It deserves to have internal injuries.

Exit the camera of Zhao Yunqi and turn to watch Xiao Kui.

Yo, Xiao Chi is back?
