The Princess of Northern Land - Chapter 843 Targeting Rumors (7)
“My lord, you are thoughtful.” Situ Gong congratulated with a faint smile.
“The king and the princess have just returned. We will not entertain you today.” Chu Suifeng issued an order to expel the guests.
Everyone immediately said goodbye in twos and threes knowingly.
“I will not raise useless people. Anyone who leaves the house and their family members do not come to pick them up will let them participate in land reclamation work.” After the people had almost dispersed, Chu Suifeng said coldly.
Situ Gong and Mei Hanqing who stayed behind were overjoyed when they heard this. In this way, if those people in the capital give up on the women in the backyard, those women will suffer a lot. However, over the years, they have had bad intentions in the backyard, and they are themselves to blame for such an end.
But even if a family comes to take them back, their fate may not be good. Married into Prince Ling’s Mansion and then sent back, with such a title, what would the people in the capital think of them? Does the Emperor really trust them? They can never think of living a comfortable life.
“Your Majesty’s move can be regarded as a complete cleanup of them.” Mei Hanqing said with a smile.
“I received news yesterday that the Northern Imperial Guards had been severely wounded by Si San and his men. Heizi was rescued and headed towards Liaocheng.” When Situ Gong mentioned Liaocheng, the expression on his face became much more solemn.
“Your Majesty, it’s not appropriate to break up now.” Mei Hanqing sighed.
“Liaocheng is an important gateway from the capital to the north. This place is dangerous. No matter what, I will capture this city.” Chu Suifeng said firmly.
Seeing his determined attitude, Situ Gong and Mei Hanqing felt both relieved and worried.
“Don’t worry, since I am ready to go to war, I have already made preparations.” Chu Suifeng looked at her, “I just want to use the name of the princess to attack at this time. Do you mind?”
“I don’t care.” Lin Ziyin shook his head, “It’s just that the prince has to consider going to the Northern Kingdom. If the Northern Kingdom takes the opportunity to join forces with Da Qin, the Northern Kingdom will become a sandwich cake.”
“No problem.” Situ Gong interjected, “They plotted against the princess, how could the prince let them go? They soon had no time to take care of themselves.”
Lin Ziyin seemed to have a backup plan after hearing what he meant. She looked at Chu Suifeng in surprise.
“The Emperor of the Northern Kingdom is very cunning. He is now strong and naturally does not want to appoint a prince too early. Under his rule, the Northern Kingdom is very united and they are brave and good at fighting. If we directly send troops to attack, the final result can only be that both sides will lose. , if the imperial court attacks from behind again, we in the north will be in danger.” Chu Suifeng explained.
“The eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom, Brukan, is reckless, ambitious, and ruthless. As long as someone adds fuel to the flames, he will definitely lose his temper and attack the monarch.” Situ Gong also explained.
“Civil unrest?” Lin Ziyin looked over in surprise.
Situ Gong and Mei Hanqing smiled and nodded.
Lin Ziyin didn’t care about what happened in the North Country.
Because the thing that gave her a headache finally happened, and just overnight, the discussion and evaluation of her in the streets outside had reached the point of being loud.
Even on the second day, some concubines and some officials from the old ministry formed a clique and knelt down outside the palace gate to request the removal of the princess.
The reason is that Lin Ziyin has been robbed by the Northerners for so long that his reputation has been damaged.
They just had to point it out that Lin Ziyin put a green hat on Prince Ling’s head.
Lin Ziyin also learned the news in the palace, but she did not come forward to explain.
A person who is clear will be clear himself. If others don’t believe her, even if she goes out to explain, the picture will become darker and darker. And more importantly, she believes that Chu Suifeng will handle this matter well.
The two of them had discussed this matter on the road, and Lin Ziyin had already been mentally prepared, so she was not in a hurry, let alone sad.
On the other hand, Lin Zige and Guo Huiniang were very worried and came over to stay with her.
“What should we do? These people want to put a shit basin on your head.” Zige asked with a pale face.
“Don’t worry, the prince will take care of it.” Lin Ziyin patted her hand and said.
“Why don’t you hurry…” Lin Zige was so anxious that her throat was filled with smoke. When she saw Lin Ziyin’s calm look, she wanted to go up and knock her on the head to wake her up quickly.
In fact, Chu Suifeng did not disappoint her.
On the first day when officials and literati from the old ministry came to the palace to “ask for tassels”, Chu Suifeng did not stand up at all, nor did he ask anyone to give an explanation.
These people didn’t get what they wanted, so they came again the next day. Not only that, there seemed to be more people coming.
At noon the next day, a group of black-armored soldiers appeared with more than a dozen people escorted by them. Both the onlookers and those who asked for help showed curiosity on their faces.
“Tell me, who sent you everywhere to destroy the princess’s reputation?” Chu Suifeng pointed at a person and asked angrily.
“I don’t know what the prince means?” The man said harshly.
Chu Suifeng looked at him coldly. When a black-armored soldier saw this, he picked up a dagger. Everyone’s eyes were dazzled when they saw the tough-talking man with five fingers broken off.
The screams really hurt everyone’s ears.
“I ask you, who sent you to spread rumors?” Chu Suifeng asked again like Shura.
“Your Majesty, how can you use torture to extract a confession? Beating someone up will lead to an unjust case.” An official from the old ministry cried loudly.
Everyone also focused their attention on Chu Suifeng. Chu Suifeng sneered, drew out the sword of the black armored soldier beside him, and struck the person on the ground.
