The female general was reborn in the enemy's house? They all die!

Recalling the morning court session half a month ago, when General Xia walked into the hall in a sickly manner, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

It turns out this old fox was just pretending for me!

After some awakening, I found that I had been deceived by someone I once trusted.

The emperor gritted his teeth so hard that they made a squeaking sound, and the anger that had accumulated in his chest suddenly burst out like a raging sea.

He quickly glanced around the hall and shouted with his eyes wide open: "Where is Xia Yan's man? Come to see me now!"

"Your Majesty, the Grand Marshal has been suffering from a cold lately and has not attended court for a long time." Eunuch Gao hurriedly stepped forward and whispered.

"Humph, does he feel safe and sound?!" The emperor sneered and nodded, "Okay, considering that he is an important official of two dynasties, I can choose not to summon him."

"But from today on, he will never have to come to see me again!"

The coldness in his eyes flashed fiercely: "Pass on my order. Although General Xia holds a high position, he has ruined his reputation. Considering his advanced age, I now order his entire family to move to the northern border for garrison. From now on, the descendants of the Xia family will never be allowed to enter the capital for the rest of their lives!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall.

Because all the ministers present knew that the northern border was covered with snow all year round and was adjacent to Chidan, making it a truly bitterly cold place.

That General Xia is a veteran of two dynasties.

He had made great contributions to defending the country and repelling foreign enemies, but now he has ended up like this.

It’s really a late holiday.

But in the final analysis, it was because it happened to touch the emperor's reverse scale.

Otherwise, the emperor would never treat the Xia family like this out of consideration for the late emperor.

The hall was noisy for a while, and then gradually quieted down.

Obviously, all the ministers present did not dare to stand up and plead for the Xia family at this moment.

Because no one is stupid, standing up is tantamount to being an accomplice, and you may even be sent to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation.

Thinking of their accomplices, all the ministers looked at Lu Anfei who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time.

At this moment, Lu Anfei's heart was completely dead.

He kept his ears perked up to listen to everything that happened in the hall.

When he heard that General Xia was punished, he became even more desperate.

He has committed the grave crime of corruption, and he will surely be sentenced to death...

"Lu Anfei, raise your head!"

At this time, the emperor's cold eyes swept across Lu Anfei's trembling back.

"Yes, Your Majesty..." Lu Anfei responded and looked up at the emperor, beads of sweat the size of beans falling on his face.

"Do you plead guilty now?"

"I plead guilty..."

After stammering out these words, Lu Anfei felt a sour taste in his throat and even more pain in his heart.

He still doesn't understand how Zhou Xu knew about the silver buried in Yancui Pavilion.

Yancui Pavilion...

Suddenly, he thought of what Lu Lianlian said about the bully she met in Yancui Pavilion half a month ago.

Could it be that the bully's appearance had another purpose?

Just as he was stunned, the emperor's cold voice floated over his head again: "As the Minister of Finance, you have embezzled a huge amount of silver. This alone is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of your clan."

Lu Anfei was completely numb, as if he had lost his soul, lying on the ground like a piece of wood, motionless.

The emperor glanced at Lu Anfei's expression, rolled his eyes in disgust, and then ordered the guards, "I order you to put all the people of the Lu family in jail within one day, behead them on a chosen day, and confiscate all the Lu family's property and put it into the national treasury."

"Du Sheng accepted bribes, violated military regulations and discipline, and slandered loyal officials. He deserves death and will be thrown into prison!"

"Yes!"

As the guards swarmed out, today's morning court came to an end.

The emperor looked at the guards' backs for a long time, then said to the ministers in the palace: "I am tired, let's end the morning court today."

"Congratulations to your Majesty!"

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

After watching the emperor move away, all the ministers left the hall.

After experiencing the farce in the morning, everyone was still in shock and started chatting to ease their tense emotions.

"The Xia family is completely ruined this time."

"That's right. Lord Xia is old, and perhaps his mind has become confused. He actually followed the Crown Prince in making trouble."

"But the emperor didn't seem to say how to deal with the prince just now?"

"Yes, you reminded me that the prince is still under house arrest. Maybe there will be news later."

"I think you are just worrying about nothing. Even though the Xia family has fallen, the queen is still the queen, and the prince will be fine in the end." Another short minister came over and whispered, "What we need to worry about now is the direction of the court situation."

"Then tell me, which family is more powerful now?" the two ministers asked back somewhat unconvinced.

"Of course it's Prince Ming and the Wei family." The short minister stroked his beard proudly. "After today, Prince Ming and General Wei will be vindicated and everything will return to normal. They will still be the princes and ministers trusted by the emperor."

"Oh--"

The other two were immediately enlightened and nodded in approval: "That's true. It seems that we should spend more time with Ming Wang and his men in the future..."

The ministers walked and talked, and soon left the palace.

Little did they know that not far behind them, a thin figure was pricking up his ears and poking his head out from behind a stone pillar.

Rong Sheng watched the ministers walk away, then heaved a sigh of relief and jumped out from the stone pillar.

Thinking back to what she had just overheard, she had a pretty good guess in her mind.

It seems that Zhou Xu really did not disappoint.

But since General Xia has been punished, the Lu family will definitely be confiscated and exterminated by the emperor.

Although the deeds to the shops are in his hands now, the silver was stolen from Yancui Pavilion after all. What if the emperor gets angry and takes away those shops?

When Rong Sheng thought of this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"No, I can't leave yet, I have to go see the emperor!"
