Before he could stand firmly, he was pushed down by someone and fell to his knees on the ground.

The man sitting on the high seat seemed unaware that there was another person in the room. He didn't even look at him and continued to play with the jade pendant in his hand.

"Tell me, what else do you know?"

The lame man was about to speak when he realized that his master was asking about someone else. He then realized that several people had already knelt before his master before him.

He opened his mouth, then closed it again.

There were five people kneeling next to him, four adults and one teenager.

The oldest woman among the five immediately kowtowed and shouted with gritted teeth: "Your Highness, we have said everything we need to say! That damn girl has never been a good person since she was a child. She can't say a word all day and stares at one place in a daze. She is just a fool..."

"Fool? According to what you said, how could she become the Grand Commander?" Xiao Yihan swept the teacup on the table away, his temples throbbing.

He had seen that girl at a flower-fighting competition before. She wasn't anything special, but something her brother said caught his attention. If time hadn't been tight, he would have wanted to capture her and study her.

As for that girl, she has only read some books and learned some planting techniques from her grandfather. There is nothing to worry about!

These guys are really useless. They just keep saying the same few words. Bringing them here really doesn't help at all. They are useless...

These five people were Song Jixiang’s former relatives.

The woman who just spoke was her great-grandmother, Old Lady Song.

The two middle-aged men kneeling on the left of Old Lady Song are her two sons, Song Jiawen and Song Jiawu. The middle-aged woman on the right is Song Jiawen's daughter-in-law, Wen.

As for her niece from her mother's side, Song Jiawu's wife, Xiao Chen, she accidentally fell into a well shortly after they moved to Shangjing and never came back.

To ask why this family is here, we have to start from the trip to Beijing a few months ago.

In the Royal Palace, in the Jinluan Hall.

A letter from the border caused a great uproar in the court. This letter was sent to the capital in an expedited manner over a distance of 800 miles, which shows how important the content of the letter is!

Emperor Jingchen leaned back on the dragon throne and absentmindedly asked someone to unfold the letter.

I don't know what happened at the northwest border that requires an emergency delivery of 800 miles?

Lately, nothing had gone his way. He finished reading the entire article, slammed the table in anger, and felt like cursing.

The northern barbarians have been extremely restless recently, attacking cities and seizing territory from Dayu;

Those ignorant people had no sympathy for him as an emperor, and they kept clamoring for him to open the granaries and release grain. If they were not satisfied, they would cause unrest. They were simply a group of unruly people.

Now, in that barren place called the wilderness, a great commander-in-chief suddenly appeared. It was a huge joke. Did they really think that the emperor was old?

These people all deserve to die...

He pressed his forehead, waved his hand, and asked the chief eunuch to take the letter to several important officials for their reading.

There was a lot of discussion below. One minister glanced at the expression of the emperor on the Dragon Throne and reported: "Your Majesty, how can an ignorant girl dare to brazenly declare herself the governor of the wilderness? It's really against the will of heaven. There must be someone behind her controlling her..."

After he finished speaking, another minister bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal. This traitor should be wiped out and the forces behind her should be uncovered, otherwise it will bring disaster to the foundation of the country!"

Several other ministers also chimed in, as if the great governor who had appeared out of nowhere had dug up their ancestral graves. Their faces flushed, their necks thick, they were filled with righteous indignation, they spoke impassionedly, and their saliva flew...

The court was like a vegetable market, with constant arguments.

Emperor Jingchen was annoyed by what he heard. An inkstone flew down and he shouted angrily, "Enough, you keep talking nonsense. After all the talk, who are you going to send to wipe them out?"

Everyone:...

Everyone can talk, but when it comes to actual operations, everyone is speechless, as if the mouth of a gourd was sawed off, and they all shrank into quails and remained silent.
