The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

"Your Highness, Wei Zheng is seriously injured. I'm afraid he will have to recuperate here for a while. Thank you for your concern..."

Wei Zheng: …

The carriage jolted along for more than twenty days before arriving at the capital. Only when Ji Mengshu returned to the capital did he feel that he had accompanied them on a journey.

Everything is safe and sound in Kyoto.

Some corrupt officials in the court who wanted to save their lives handed over large amounts of gold and silver to save their lives and fill the national treasury.

Of course, there were some who swore to die and refused to obey. Ah San handed over the evidence he had collected and said, "Your Highness, last year the Ministry of War sent Chen Hui, who was responsible for escorting grain and grass, to embezzle a large amount of grain and grass. He has also won over many people in the court and is dissatisfied with your dictatorship."

"Chen Hui..." Ning Rongzhang chewed on the name, closed his eyes, and said, "These evidences are enough to confiscate the Chen family's property. Ah San, take your brothers to search the Chen family tomorrow. The mastermind Chen Hui will be beheaded in public, and the rest of the men will be exiled to the border and will never be allowed to enter Beijing again. The women will be driven out of the city..."

"Yes." Ah San bowed silently, thinking, how come it's so easy for the prince to confiscate the property? For a scum like this in the officialdom who tampered with the rations of the soldiers on the frontier, beheading him in public is already a light punishment.

"This year's grain and fodder will be personally escorted by General Ji of the Ji Mansion." As soon as Ning Rongzhang finished speaking, Ah San lowered his head and walked out.

A few days after Ji Mengshu returned to Beijing, Ji Yuanzheng was ordered to go to the border. Transporting food and fodder was one thing, and guarding the border was another.

Although Ji's father resigned from his post as prime minister, Ji Yuanzheng was still highly valued, so the Ji family was not in decline.

The people of Kyoto still didn't know Wei Zheng's identity, and even the people of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion didn't know where Wei Zheng had gone. For a person who no one cared about, it didn't seem to matter where he went.

Before dawn, the Chen Mansion was located in the street market. At dawn, a team of guards with swords surrounded the entire Chen Mansion. Mrs. Chen was putting on court clothes for Chen Hui at that time. The red court clothes made him look much more energetic. The figures of the two were reflected on the apricot window lattice. Looking at them, he really looked like a good official who served the country and the people.

As San waved his hand, the two men beside him drew their swords and pried open the door of Chen's house. The guards at the door were startled and looked at the cold-faced guards outside who were still holding torches, and asked in panic, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

If it had been before, no matter who he was or what the question was, we would have to go around the prison before asking.

But his prince was now a legitimate official, so he couldn't use these methods anymore. He spoke up, "What? Arrest Chen Hui according to the order of the Regent."

The rest of the people immediately filed in, split into two teams and went straight into the Chen Mansion, controlling everyone.

Chen Hui came out in a red official robe, holding a tablet in his hand, as if he was going to court. He clearly heard Ah San's words and said with a smile, "You are just a self-proclaimed regent. Do you really take yourself seriously? I tell you, I don't care who you are. Here, in the Dali Dynasty, I, Chen Hui, am loyal to the emperor and the people, and I am only a subject of His Majesty. You have no right to arrest me!"

What an impassioned speech. Ah San couldn't help but laugh, clapped his hands, and said, "Master Chen is indeed a good official, but unfortunately... Master Chen has been pretending for so long that I'm afraid he doesn't even know what he has done. As the head of the Ministry of War, Master Chen transports food and grass to the border counties every year to provide for the survival of our border soldiers... Master Chen? Even your superior, the Minister of War Shao Shen, confessed and showed leniency. Master Chen, this is not a good thing, right?"

Ah San looked at the sky and didn't want to waste so much time talking to him. "If Lord Chen has any grievances, let's talk about it in Xing Prison. Otherwise, if you delay my mission, it will be difficult to deal with..."

Chen Hui froze and watched those people who entered the mansion drive all the servants into the yard. Chen Hui also had a son who just turned ten this year.

Ah San looked at the child who was only half a person's height and sighed, "It's a pity that he is at such a good age and has to go to the border to atone for the sins committed by Master Chen..."

"Everyone listen up, Chen Hui embezzled money and is now in prison, awaiting his fate. The men of the Chen family will be exiled to the border, and all the women will move out of the Chen Mansion immediately and will never be allowed to enter the capital again!"

Chen Hui was escorted by two guards on both sides. During his struggle, his tablet was thrown onto the road and trampled several times by people passing by.

Asan snorted coldly and took his men back to report.

Chen Hui was thrown into prison while cursing.

Ji Yuanzheng was heading to the border counties with plenty of food and fodder. After staying there for a few days, all the barbarians retreated.

Ji Yuan was touching the hard letter on his chest, which was a secret letter brought from the capital. The letter said that the Dali Dynasty would have a tough battle with the barbarians in a hundred years.

The barbarians were located in the north of the Dali Dynasty. Whenever the people and horses in the territory were starving and destitute, the first target of the barbarians would be to attack the wealthy Dali Dynasty. The two armies would fight to the death, and eventually the Dali Dynasty would lose many lives due to lack of food and grass. After that, the Dali Dynasty would pay countless compensations to the barbarians every year in addition to its repeated defeats.

This has been the case for every century.

Ning Rongzhang was determined to reverse this situation. First of all, he had to send out elite soldiers and generals to repel the enemy in one move. He also had to go deep into the barbarians to make them feel terrified and dare not invade the Dali Dynasty again.

The secret letter in Ji Yuanzheng's hand was the military order given to him by Ning Rongzhang. When necessary, he could dispatch the garrison troops in the north to join the barbarians.

The Manrong had fought with Ji Yuanzheng before and knew how powerful he was. When they heard that a general named Ji had come to the border county, they were so scared that they ran away five miles away and honestly guarded their own land, thinking that they would come back to plunder the border when Ji Yuanzheng left.

Who would have thought that Ji Yuan would never leave after coming here like this...

It was said that there was internal turmoil in the Dali Dynasty, and the emperor did not care about the affairs at all. The person who held the real power in the Dali Dynasty was a young regent.

Manrong Khan bit into some beef jerky and said, "Who cares about the regent king or the prince of Yuan? We'll just fight him when he comes. Do you want us to starve to death? Once we invade the heartland of the Dali Dynasty and capture the new emperor, then won't the Dali Dynasty be at our mercy?! Ahahahaha——"

The Manrong Khan waved his hand proudly and said, "Come on, soldiers, show us your best skills. This autumn, feed our horses well and let them have enough food and drink. Then follow me to fight in all directions!"

Ning Rongzhang, who was still in Kyoto, didn't know about the ambitions here. He only knew that Madam Jiang was arranging Ji Mengshu's marriage. Who was Ji Mengshu?

This is a long story. It was the Empress Dowager who made the final decision on the marriage between the fifth daughter of the Ji family and the current emperor. However, unexpectedly, the marriage was changed and the third daughter of the Ji family became the emperor's concubine.

Miss Ji Wu’s marriage was put on hold.
