In the Kingdom of Chu, in the imperial palace of the capital.

The frontier battle report was sent to the king of Chu again.

The king of Chu State heard that he was defeated again, and the veins on his forehead twitched violently.

"It's been more than half a month since the war started, and I have fought many times, big and small, but I haven't won a single time! What's going on here?"

Facing Emperor Kang Ze's roar, all the ministers dared not say a word. Whoever speaks at this time is pure cannon fodder.

"How many defenders are there now?"

"Back to the emperor, there are 100,000 defenders."

With his hands behind his back, Emperor Kang Ze took two steps on the dragon chair before saying, "Where is the southern country?"

"Your Majesty, the defenders in the Southern Kingdom are similar to ours, and we haven't found any reinforcements from the Southern Kingdom for the time being."

"The other party didn't send any reinforcements, why can't you even win a battle? How did you make the troops in the southern country retreat steadily?"

When Emperor Kang Ze yelled these words, no one dared to say anything. Everyone present did not know that it was thanks to Qi Wang Xiao Jin that Chu State was able to win successive victories.

But now... no one knows whether King Qi died in the Northern Wilderness.

Emperor Kang Ze naturally thought of it too, but he didn't believe it, he couldn't find another strong general like Xiao Jin in such a big Chu country.

"Lian Shen, you go, and then mobilize 20,000 soldiers from the West Camp to go to reinforcements. We will set off tomorrow, and we must fight back the Southern Kingdom!"

A mighty military general in the main hall came out to lead the order, "My humble minister, I will definitely live up to the emperor's entrustment."

After the court, the courtiers left the palace one after another.

Xiao Jue walked behind Lian Shen, "General Lian."

Lian Shen paused slightly and looked at Xiao Jue, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jue looked at Lian Shen with a serious expression and said, "General Lian is going here, and he must come back victorious."

Lian Shen said solemnly with a tense face: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will definitely do his best in the end."

Lian Shen was a lieutenant general who followed Xiao Jin before, and later he returned to Beijing to receive the reward and then stayed in Beijing to serve. He had joined Xiao Jue's team earlier.

Xiao Jue made a good plan, as long as Lian Shen wins, he will take the opportunity to write a letter asking him to take over the 100,000 military power on the border, and then he will have more key chips to win the position!

Xiao Jue was very confident. Chu State had 20,000 extra soldiers and horses, so it was no problem at all to win with more.

It's just that what he and even Emperor Kang Ze didn't expect was that Nanguo actually broke through the border city of Chu State and took down a city of Chu State.

This military newspaper made Emperor Kang Ze directly expose the dragon case.

"This is my good general!"

With 120,000 people against 100,000 people, and a city was directly killed, it was hard for Emperor Kangze not to get angry!

At this time, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded in the silent hall.

"Before the Southern Kingdom sent an additional 200,000 troops, Xiao Jin only had less than 150,000 troops. Didn't he still take down two cities in the Southern Kingdom... hey."

At that moment, the hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.

All the ministers bowed their heads and pretended to be dead.

The young minister who spoke did not realize that he had said the wrong thing, his long and narrow peach eyes were full of confusion and doubt, "Your Majesty, my humble minister... did you say the wrong thing?"

"boom!"

Emperor Wude smashed an inkstone, waved his big hand, turned around and left the hall.

"Retire..."

As soon as Emperor Kang Ze left, the ministers all let out a deep breath, the emperor is really... so scary!

"Master Zhu, you are still too young."

An older and kind-hearted minister walked up to Zhu Lin and shook his head, "Stop talking nonsense from now on. The emperor didn't punish you today. Next time, you may not be so lucky."

Zhu Lin looked taught, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention next time, but... I don't know what I said wrong?"

Lord Wang choked.

"Lord Zhu, the emperor asked you to go to the imperial study."

Lord Wang gave Zhu Lin a self-conscious look, shook his head and walked away very quickly.

Zhu Lin was overwhelmed with flattery. Where is the emperor's study room? It's the high ground of the Chu cabinet, so how can he, a small doctor of the Ministry of punishment, go there.

Zhu Lin came to the imperial study with excitement.

Emperor Kang Ze turned his back to the door and remained silent for a long time.

It wasn't until Zhu Lin's legs were numb from standing that Emperor Kang Ze turned to look at him, "Did you handle the treason case of King Qi before?"

Zhu Linxiu's baiwen weak face was full of seriousness, "Back to the emperor, strictly speaking, this case was handled by the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the lower officials are responsible for finishing the general affairs."

"The official who is in charge of sending people to the Northern Wilderness, let him come to see me."

"Your Majesty, the official sent back to his hometown after delivering that errand."

"Then Xiao Jin, was sent to the Northern Wilderness by you?"

"Yes, sent out."

Emperor Kang Ze twisted again, "I said earlier that I would reverse the case for Xiao Jin, find it for me."

Zhu Lin was taken aback, "Your Majesty, if you want to reverse the case of the guilty minister Xiao Jin, isn't that case solid evidence? There are all witnesses and material evidence? It is not so easy to reverse this case."

The head of the house did not know where to dig out a dusty notebook and presented it to Emperor Kangze, "Your Majesty, here is the notebook."

Emperor Kang Ze threw the booklet in front of Zhu Lin, "Check out the people who participated in the joint performance. If there is no problem, let them go. Let them go back to where they came from. Before going back, let them go to the main hall to thank you."

Zhu Lin picked up the booklet, "Yes, I obey the order."

"Back off."

"Wei Chen will leave."

Zhu Lin's work efficiency is very high. In just three days, he found out the generals who jointly signed the letter, and confirmed that they did not commit any other crimes except requesting the emperor to re-investigate Xiao Jin's case. After three days, they were arrested. Released from prison.

On the day those generals were released, they knelt outside the political hall, saying that they wanted to thank the emperor.

Emperor Kang Ze was benevolent and let them enter the palace.

Who knows, after these generals thanked them, they brought up Xiao Jin's case again in front of civil and military officials, shouting that Xiao Jin was wronged.

Everyone was waiting for Emperor Kang Ze to be furious, but Emperor Kang Ze did not say anything for a long time.

"At the beginning, who decided the case?" Emperor Kang Ze asked quietly.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment came out tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the case of Xiao Jin's treason was settled in the hands of my humble minister."

Emperor Kang Ze frowned, "The case that was broken in your hands, why are there still so many people complaining for Xiao Jin, are you sure that the whole case has been investigated clearly? Dare to use your head as a guarantee, Xiao Jin Didn't Jhin be wronged?"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice almost cried, almost shouted, this case is the final decision of your majesty!

Master Shang Shu felt wronged, but he dared not speak out.

"Your Majesty, I must re-examine all the evidence...to make sure again."

"Since the case is in doubt, Xiao Jin's charges are open to question. Immediately send a letter to Lian Shen. I want him to send someone to the Northern Wilderness to find Xiao Jin's whereabouts. Tell him that I will give him a chance to pay for his crimes." If he can repel the Southern Kingdom and recover the damaged cities of the Chu Kingdom, I will allow him to return to the capital and return to his original post."
