"Loyal and brave general! The barbarians in Saibei have made some changes recently!" A small soldier sent a message from the front.

After Zheng Kai received the news, he immediately reported to the emperor, but the limelight in Beijing was so intense these days, the emperor didn't want Su Wei and others to take care of that trivial matter.But he also knew that the affairs of the frontier fortress should not be underestimated, so he promoted Zheng Kai as a loyal general and rushed to the north of the fortress with [-] soldiers and horses.

Su Wei and Ke Yi stood on the city wall, looking at the five thousand soldiers and horses going away, the scorching sun was hitting the city wall, and the walking soldiers and horses brought out a burst of smoke, and the figures gradually disappeared in the smoke and dust.

"Strengthen the patrol, don't slack off!" Ke Yi rarely used his joking smile, but a serious one.

"Staying in the capital is better than going out." Su Wei said lightly.

"Hehe, he will definitely come back." Ke Yi promised.

Zhuo An really wanted to reduce his sense of existence to zero these days.

Although the life in the Hanlin Academy was leisurely, but he wore the hat of a university scholar, the emperor could see him all the time, and asked him some seemingly ordinary but implicitly meaningful questions from time to time.

Although the academician's reputation is great and his future prospects are immeasurable, he is still a newcomer, and he is still a newcomer that the emperor is worried about so he puts it under his nose.

"Master Zhuo, what do you think of Saibei's criminals?"

"Reporting to the emperor, it is the day of autumn harvest recently, and the barbarians on the side may want to take this opportunity to plunder some grain."

"But the scholar also knows that the king of Zhongshan came to Beijing recently, and the barbarian suddenly violated the country. I don't know what is the meaning behind it?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the ministers have recently learned that the king of Zhongshan came to the court, Cangzhou and the capital have closer ties, barbarians invaded the border, the border people suffered a lot, the food was robbed, the family was destroyed, and the homeless population will inevitably increase." Zhuo An did not mention what the emperor wanted. .

"So what's Aiqing doing?"

"Strictly control logistics and trade, pay attention to population circulation, and the county government patrols more..."

"Does Aiqing want to keep avoiding my questions?" The emperor finally asked a little unhappy.

Zhuo An immediately kowtowed to plead guilty, "Your ignorance, please give instructions from the emperor."

The emperor sneered twice, "Do you know about the Baihualou incident?"

"I know a thing or two."

"Zhuo Ningchen is the eldest son of the Zhuo family and your younger brother, but he is Zhou Xi's son."

Zhuo An showed a look of shock, as if he understood what the emperor wanted to do, probably Zhuo Ningchen had this kind of experience in his previous life, whether to protect himself or his family.

"minister……"

"I asked you to investigate King Zhongshan a few days ago, and you know the result..."

"Ms. Gu is guilty of colluding with thieves, but I really don't know about it!"

The emperor frowned, and wanted to push the problem to Mrs. Gu, which was a good idea. He didn't know that the prudish Zhuo Ji would have such a tactful son!

"I will also investigate this matter and give you justice!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhuo An knelt on the ground full of sincerity and emotion.

At night, with the help of Yinmo, Zhuo An quietly sneaked back to the Shangshu Mansion.

"Father, does the emperor want to attack the Zhuo family?"

Zhuo Ningchen is also there, even if they don't kiss each other, they are still grasshoppers on the same rope.

"Your Majesty... Hey, our Zhuo family has been loyal and good for generations, and we have never had two hearts..."

Zhuo Ningchen secretly thought that if Zhuo Ji pushed him out to take the blame, then he would also drag the Zhuo family into the water if he died.

Zhuo An looked sadly at Zhuo Ningchen with calculating eyes, why, where did the Zhuo family treat you badly!

"When the emperor was discussing with me, I brought the topic to Mrs. Gu."

Zhuo Ji was also very upset. His wife, who had been with him for decades, betrayed him. He really thought about pushing Zhuo Ningchen out. At most, he would be ridiculed. Son, how can you be willing to do it?Maybe, Ning Chen is his son!

"Madam Gu can't stay, let her go to the "Buddhist hall to chant scriptures" tonight, the emperor is only suspicious of the Zhuo family, fearing that the Zhuo family is powerful, there is news from the palace that we have no evidence in the emperor's hands, we have to survive this After a catastrophe, tomorrow I will bid farewell to the emperor and return home, maybe this is the best way we can save it."

Zhuo Ji was honest and sincere, but Bei Erqing, who had been an official for decades and some well-known people, got out of his body, and this was already the best ending.
