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

"The emperor is recruiting soldiers! He is recruiting men without good records, and you are openly bullying girls and children here! Do you still have the law in your eyes?!"

The upright man appeared out of nowhere and spoke generously. Several secret guards hidden in the crowd also echoed him, "That's right! Even if General He is extremely powerful, he can't do this openly in Kyoto! Does His Majesty know that you are bullying in the street like this?!"

"Wuwuwu——" The woman's face turned pale with pain. She hugged her son tightly with both hands, and tears flowed down her face.

"Yes, yes! Who is this?"

"You are relying on the fact that you are a soldier to show off your abilities here? If you are really capable, why don't you go to the north to fight the Luanzhou tribe!"

"..."

The people were talking about it, pointing fingers at the arrogant and unreasonable soldiers, and even the drinkers who had been hiding in the restaurant came out. The people on the street surrounded them. Two fists were no match for four hands, and they quickly released the mother and child and rescued the bun vendor.

In the chaos, the soldier and several soldiers were severely beaten.

By the time He Wei learned the news and sent people over, all the participants had dispersed, leaving only a few soldiers lying on the ground with bruised faces and noses, with several messy footprints on their brand new armor.

"General! General! It's all those unruly people who have harmed me!"

He Wei kicked the soldier, causing him to scream in pain, "You useless thing, you caused such a big trouble just by recruiting soldiers!"

"Who is the culprit?!" He Wei asked, his hands on his hips, looking at the men with bruised faces and noses.

"They are all civilians! They! They rebelled!" The soldier covered his swollen cheek and said vaguely.

Ji Mengshu's trick was indeed effective. The people in Kyoto were quite dissatisfied with the royal family and even Ning Huaixuan. First, the policies implemented by the emperor himself were unpopular. He conscripted ten-year-old boys into the army, which almost cut off the continuation of the Dali Dynasty.

The other thing is that he used the treacherous minister He Wei and followed them to help the evil. He was biased and ordered the killing of Ji Kang...

Ning Huaixuan threw away the memorial in his hand and looked at the attendant beside him and said, "I have never issued an order to kill Ji Kang. Who spread the news?"

"This..." The eunuch didn't dare to say it. Even if there was no clear order, he could guess it roughly based on his three-point guess about the emperor's attitude.

When Ji Kang had real power, Ning Huaixuan was afraid of him.

Now that Ji Kang had retired and was a guilty prisoner, they wanted to kill him.

But he is just a prisoner. How could it be worthy for the whole world to plead for him? Maybe it was the cowardly Ji Kang who did it.

"Send the guilty minister Ji Kang."

The charges were made by Ning Huaixuan, but Ji Kang did not plead guilty. However, that didn't matter anymore. Whoever the emperor said was guilty was guilty.

Ji Kang was taken out by the jailer, and Ji Mengshu secretly asked a few secret guards to follow him. If the cruel emperor wanted to do something, they would not have to worry about anything but must protect their father.

In addition to inciting the people of the world, Wei Zheng also used Ning Rongzhang's relationship to jointly write a letter of appeal to many officials from top to bottom.

Ji Kang had served the royal family for half his life. If he had died alone like this, wouldn't it make people think that the royal family was heartless?

"The criminal Ji Kang pays respect to His Majesty..."

Ning Huaixuan frowned and said with a half-smile, "The Prime Minister is serious. The Prime Minister has worked for the Dali Dynasty for half his life, and has served two dynasties. He was also the minister who was called to the dragon bed by the late emperor... When I was young, I listened to the Prime Minister's teachings... Come, please take a seat!"

"The criminals dare not..." Now he no longer holds an official position. When he chose to retire, it was like a lion having its fangs removed.

I have no power to attack anymore...

"It's really inappropriate for the Prime Minister to say that..." Ning Huaixuan took a sip of tea and said, "The Ji family has made great contributions, and even the people of the world are willing to challenge the imperial power in the street for your life!"

Ji Kang was confused, and knelt down and said, "I don't know what your majesty is going to say..."

A burst of laughter sounded, and Ning Huaixuan told exactly what happened on East Street. Looking at Ji Kang's somewhat heavy and shocked face, he thought that he couldn't have been unaware of this matter...

"Your Majesty has issued an order to recruit ten-year-old males as soldiers. I'm afraid this move will shake the foundation of the Dali Dynasty... Young males are the foundation of the future of the Dali Dynasty. If all of them die on the battlefield, then in ten years, the Dali Dynasty will have no men left. Wouldn't it be at risk of extinction?"

Although he was no longer the prime minister of the Dali Dynasty, Ji Kang still spoke earnestly, begging the emperor to consider the future of the country...

"You are pointing fingers at me... We have fought so many wars in the past few years... Do you think I want to send those teenage boys to the army? There is really no other way..."

Ning Rongzhang frowned and looked at him, "No matter what I say or do now... Prime Minister Ji's prestige is so high that I dare not touch you easily..."

Ji Kang bowed his head without trying to justify his crime of colluding with Ning Rongzhang. He knew Ning Huaixuan wanted his life. "Your Majesty, please deal with me. My wife and daughter know nothing about this matter. Please show some leniency..."

"Please let me off the hook. If I insist on killing you, I'm afraid that before the Luanzhou tribe or the traitor Ning Rongzhang can turn around and attack the capital, the entire capital will start a killing spree because of internal strife..." Ning Huaixuan felt a little unwilling and smiled, "Prime Minister Ji has worked diligently, can I let you go?"

As if overwhelmed by the overwhelming joy, Ji Kang bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted... I am deeply grateful..."

It's not so easy to get an advantage from Ning Huaixuan... Although everyone in the world protects Ji Kang, no one mentions Ji Mengshu.

As long as the royal family is picked cleanly and they are sent back to their hometown by a group of people to assassinate them, how could the common people know who is behind this?

When the time comes and he issues a memorial decree, he will be even cleared of all blame.

"Unfortunately... I have one condition. I want Ji Mengshu's life."

-

Ji Kang returned in a daze and was thrown into prison by the jailer.

Fortunately, all the people in Xing Prison were Ning Rongzhang's men. As soon as Ji Kang came back, all the secret guards who had been sent out also came back one after another.

"Father?"

"Shu'er...it's okay..." Ji Kang waved his hands. It seemed that he didn't want to say more.

After the people left, Ji Mengshu looked at Ji Yan who had gone with him and asked, "I didn't hear it clearly, but the general idea is that Your Majesty can let the master go, but not the girl, because of public opinion..."

Ji Mengshu chuckled, "He still thinks that I should pay for Liu Huachao's life... It would be good enough if I could rescue my father and mother from the prison..."
