C119 (2/2)

There were also shattered porcelain cups and shattered pieces of paper.

Xiao Qian stood up straight in the imperial court, unafraid of the angry men in the high seats. On the other hand, Zhao Dagang, who was so scared that his face turned pale-white, had already wiped his forehead several times.

”Uncle Guo, is it so hot today that you're sweating?”

Wei Wu Emperor lowered his voice. Gritting his teeth, he stared at his brother-in-law with a cold smile, wishing that he could drag him out and kill him.

Zhao Danchen quivered and knelt down with a thump. ”Your Majesty, you must be aware that these matters have nothing to do with this humble subject. It's all because of those ignorant people of mine. ”

”That's right. After sealing your seal and hollowing out our military pay, they were the ones who did all of this behind your back.”

”Your Majesty … ”This humble subject …” This humble subject is willing to sacrifice my life for the Great Wei. I have no other intentions, so why would I do such a thing? ”

There were more than 20 memorials, detailing how Zhao Chuan's trusted aides had stolen the army's salary in vain.

Even if he didn't admit it, there was nothing he could do.

”I have always thought highly of you and entrusted you with such an important task because I hope that you can abide by your duty and do some practical things. I never thought that you, as the country's uncle, the Queen's twin brother and the crown prince's blood uncle, would actually allow the person you accept to do such an outrageous thing! ”

”Your Majesty!” Zhao Ditch kneeled on the ground, crying bitterly. ”This subject knows his wrongs. We shouldn't just accept them without thinking. That's why this group of monkeys got the chance to collect the military salary.”

Zhao Jian glared at his son in disappointment, then took a step forward and kneeled on the ground. ”Your Majesty, this subject is unable to teach his son. I am willing to accept your punishment.”

”This matter has nothing to do with Zhao Zibai. Please get up.”

Even though he said that, Emperor Wei Wu was still eager for his father-in-law to kneel for a long time.

He had heard about the things the Zhao Family had done in the open and in the dark, but he did not care about the Empress and the Crown Prince.

However, as the ruler of a country, how could he tolerate a faction formed by Zhao Dagang to allow his men to do something that would harm the country?

”Whether or not Uncle Guo is involved in this matter has to be verified. But in the end, they are still yours. Even if you are unable to discipline them properly, you should still be punished. ”

Emperor Wei Wu knocked on the Dragon Throne and said thoughtfully, ”Pass on my decree that the eldest son of the Zhao Family should not misjudge anyone and mistreat the future of the Great Wei Empire. He will be punished for one year, and his official will be demoted by one rank.”

Zhao Shu's face turned pale. He could not believe that he had heard it with his own ears.

Seeing that it was about time, Xiao Qian spoke again, ”Your Majesty, the reason this humble subject received these sheets of paper was because the young masters of the Liu, Zhang, and Zhu Families were too much. Not only did it result in a huge disaster, it also affected Uncle Zhao's good reputation. This humble subject cannot bear it any longer, I hope that Your Majesty can retrieve the money that was stolen and return the innocence of this country's uncle. ”

Liu Yuan stood to the side and pursed his lips into a smile. Great General Xiao was so powerful.

He stepped on her and gave her a candy in the end. If she got the candy, she would still have to take back the benefits. What a good plan.

Even if they couldn't get the silver back, the Zhao Family would have to return it to the treasury for the sake of their pride.

Wei Wu Emperor thought for a moment, then waved his hand. ”That's right. Since Imperial Uncle is implicated, we need to get back that portion of the military pay that was withheld, so that Imperial Uncle can return the innocence.”

Zhao Di's face turned even paler. Who knew where the money had been spent!

Zhao Jian sucked in a breath of cold air, but he quickly came back to his senses. He hurriedly thanked the Emperor, ”Thank you for your help, your humble servant will definitely do his best to get that silver tael back!”

Xiao Qian smiled in satisfaction. In this way, the disciples of the three clans had been defeated.

”Forget it, there's no need to argue anymore. According to the intentions of my beloved servant, I will retrieve that portion of the military salary to prove the innocence of Grand Wei's civil officials. ”My beloved daughter Xiao can't stay here any longer. Let's hurry to the front lines to calm the chaos.”

”Hold on!”

Just as they were about to receive their orders, another official stepped out from the main hall.

Wei Wu Emperor looked at him with a headache, asking impatiently, ”Sir Wang, is there anything else you would like to request?”

Wang Wenfu was a third-grade official in the cabinet. Everyone in the imperial court knew that he was on good terms with the Zhao family.

He was afraid that he had stepped forward to plead for mercy on behalf of the Zhao Family.

However, Wang Wenfu didn't mention the Zhao Family, he only said indifferently, ”Whoever takes the military's salary will be punished, this is no small matter, it is a crime that should be punished. For the same reason, if someone's subordinates tried to rebel and raise an army, shouldn't they also treat them the same? ”

He coldly looked at Xiao Qian, who was in front of him, and asked confidently: ”Does the Great General Xiao not plan to give an explanation?”
