Because it was the middle of winter and the weather was severe, Jingzhao Yin felt that it was really painful. He hoped to stay in the warm home with charcoal and fire, read books and paintings, and spend a day like this.

So at this time someone came to ask Jingzhao Yin to handle affairs and needed to go out for the field, so he would not be in a good mood.

If things are very big and he has to come forward in person, that would be even more annoying!

On that day, Jingzhao Yin finally got to the point where he was almost ready to go home. He stood up and decided to patrol around.

According to experience, you can go home after walking around like this.

However, this time, as soon as he stood up, he saw someone coming down to report: "Sir, Miss Xiao from the General's Mansion and a large group of people came to the guardhouse, saying that those people were bandits from Huangnishan outside the city."

The head of Master Du, the Yin of Jingzhao, was thunderous: "What is Miss Xiao and the bandits on Huangni Mountain? What is the relationship between these two?"

The subordinate said, "Miss Xiao said, you will know when you go and see it."

Now that the General's Mansion is in decline, Jingzhao Yin doesn't have to give Xiao Yao a face, but when Xiao Yao brought a large group of bandits, the momentum is huge, it probably attracted many people to wait and see. At this time, it would be unreasonable if he didn't show up.

Lord Du walked to the door of the mansion and saw the crowd of people surrounded by darkness in front of the mansion, and couldn't help but breathe.

This is really a big group of people!

He looked at it and saw that in addition to the people dressed in uniform with Xiao Yao and the so-called bandits tied up, there were also many ordinary people. He immediately stepped forward: "Miss Xiao, is this?"

Xiao Yao stepped forward and bowed;

"Two hours today, my seventh brother's book boy came to report it with blood, saying that my seventh brother and eighth brother were robbed by bandits. I happened to be in the village outside the city. When I heard the news, I immediately took the yard to the yard to the guardhouse.

Rescue. During the rescue, I learned that these bandits did everything evil, so I simply took their men up the mountain and destroyed the bandits' nest. These are all bandits on the mountain."

Lord Du was secretly surprised when he heard this.

In fact, he had heard of the bandits on Huangni Mountain more than once. It is said that there are many people and it is difficult to deal with. The previous Jingzhao Yin once reported the case with a wealthy businessman and sent people to attack more than once, but unfortunately he could not do anything to those bandits.

Unexpectedly, Miss Xiao and the guards in the mansion actually knocked down Huangnishan!

Du Da’s attitude became a little more solemn: “Daughter to ask Miss Xiao, are all the bandits in Huangnishan here?”

Xiao Yao said: "Most of them are here, but it is not ruled out that there are a few fish that have missed the net. The rest will be left to Lord Du."

Lord Du hurriedly said, "That's right."

Xiao Yao and Lord Du made a clear payment and took the people away.

When he returned to the mansion, Lin Shu couldn't help asking Xiao Yao: "Miss, since the bandit boss has admitted that the instructor is from the Fifth Prince's Mansion, why didn't you tell Jingzhao Yin at that time?"

Xiao Yao said: "It's a turbulent time now, so it's not appropriate to face the royal family. However, I will never forget the gift of the fifth prince!" When she said the last few words, her voice was as cold as ice.

Lin Shu thought about the situation and felt that he didn't understand much, so he didn't say anything else.

The next day, as soon as Xiao Yao woke up, Linglong beside the old lady, said, "The old lady invites the big girl over."

When Xiao Yao heard this, he knew that something was wrong again. After cleaning up a little, he went to the old lady's yard.

The old lady's face was solemn: "I just got the news that the second city, the far city, was also captured by Beirong! If Beirong continues to rush south, it will be able to reach the capital in only seven days at most!"

Xiao Yao was surprised: "So quickly? Did the imperial court really not change its generals to resist the Beirong?"

The old lady sneered and said disdainfully: "Those literati only know how to talk about military affairs on paper, thinking that the Northern Rong was poor and grew up in the cracks between our Daxing Dynasty and the Huns further north, and it was impossible to invade, so they only thought about bringing military power into their hands.

, Where can I control the people who will fight?”

Xiao Yao was silent.

At this moment, she suddenly had an idea.

What are the struggles for such a dynasty, such ruling class, and such high-ranking officials?

Why not just let this dynasty be broken and then the capable ones live in it?

But just after thinking about it, she threw this idea behind her.

If the world is really in chaos, I don’t know how many people will suffer.

As for those high-ranking officials, they will definitely be able to control the government affairs in the new dynasty.

It’s better to work hard to give yourself a certain voice and try to change all this.

The emperor naturally knew the news that the old lady knew.

Not only the emperor knew it, but everyone in the capital also knew it.

The dignitaries and nobles were preparing to flee one after another.

In the court, many officials stood up and asked the emperor to tour the south.

Immediately, a strong man immediately stood up to refute, believing that abandoning the people and moving south was not advisable.

Everyone in the court knows that the so-called southern tour is actually because of fear of the city being destroyed, so they are the first to escape.

The emperor looked at the two sects who were quarreling with each other and said in a deep voice: "The weather is very cold now, and it is indeed suitable to go south to avoid the cold. But if I leave, what about the people in the city? The snow disaster is so serious that I cannot save them.

How can we leave them behind? Don’t mention the matter of the southern tour. All the ministers should recommend a powerful general who knows how to march out!"

As soon as this topic came out, the court once again became a rumor.

While recommending their own people, several factions stormed Su Buwei, who led to the destruction of Yongcheng, and Wu Anyan, who led to the destruction of the distant city, both tried their best to demand punishment.

As we go back and forth, we have never been able to argue about winning or losing.

The emperor's face became more and more gloomy.

At this time, Shangshu Xu took the lead: "Emperor, I will report."

The emperor looked at him, his expression slowed down, and asked, "Please tell me if you are my dear."

Xu Shangshu said: "My Daxing Dynasty has always been brave and powerful in the Northern Army, but this time it was defeated one after another, and even the city was broken. This is certainly because Su Buwei and Wu Anyan did not know how to use the army, but I believe that the former generals of the Northern Army were also

There is an unshirkable responsibility. If they had not been greedy for merit and recklessness, the Northern Army would have been defeated for the first time in many years and their morale was greatly damaged, the Northern Army would have never been defeated in such a steadily manner this time."

Su Buwei's faction immediately left the list: "I'm going to discuss it!" If you say this, they will definitely support Su Buwei's responsibility.

There was still a faction left but stood up. He thought it was urgent to choose the general who went north to resist the foreign enemy. This candidate, as can be seen from Su Buwei and Wu Anyan, must not be the original person anymore.

Xiao Yao didn't know how the quarrels were in the court. She only knew that the emperor would not run south, and if he didn't leave, all officials would not be able to follow him.

In addition, a sound appeared in the capital - this time the two cities in the north were broken, and in the final analysis, the Xiao family generals were greedy for merit and made a rash progress, resulting in the first major defeat in many years, which affected morale.

This news just appeared, and the next day, it spread throughout the capital.

Xiao Yao took the maid to see the original owner's wife. When he passed by the garden, he saw a buyer from the big kitchen with a yellowed vegetable leaf back with a look of embarrassment.

Xiao Yao called someone and asked her what was going on.

The Caimai looked at Xiao Yao carefully, and didn't dare to say it. Seeing Xiao Yao's pretty face lowered, he stuttered: "Everyone says that this time Yongcheng and Yuancheng were destroyed, they were all damaged by the general's mansion.

, So, knowing that I was from the General's Mansion, I threw away the rotten vegetables and leaves."

When Xiao Yao heard this, his originally gloomy pretty face became even more gloomy.

She knew that the general's mansion would be in trouble next, but she did not expect that those people would instigate the people to start.

This is public anger, and the emperor will definitely deal with it.

Xiao Yao asked Caimai to go back first, and he stopped seeing the original owner's wife, but went straight to the old lady's yard.

As soon as he walked out, someone ran to report: "No, some ordinary people threw manure and threw stones at the gate of our General's Mansion. Some people tried to come up and smash the gate of our General's Mansion."

After hearing this, Xiao Yao ordered people to invite a few guards to come over, and then he went straight to the main gate of the General's Mansion.

When she arrived at the main gate, she saw that there were indeed many ordinary people surrounded outside the main gate. These ordinary people were filled with righteous indignation and shouted loudly while throwing things: "The people from the general's mansion came out to apologize for their death!"

Xiao Yao stepped forward.

At this time, someone smashed a handful of snow to come over.

Xiao Yao whipped out with a whip, smashed the snow, came forward, stood at the door of the mansion, looking down at the common people at the door: "My general's mansion has been guarding the northern land for generations, although it is mainly because of the emperor's order,

I have indeed guaranteed that you have no worries. Today, how do you repay us?”

Someone shouted immediately, "That's the past."

Xiao Yao looked at the man: "Then, you have received favors from others in the past, and after time, it will not count?"

Some people looked ashamed when they heard this.

But someone insisted: "I can't care so much anymore. It's cold and the earth is frozen, but Beirong is approaching the capital. We can't escape and can only die here. This is all caused by your general's mansion!"

Xiao Yao lowered his pretty face and looked at the guards on both sides: "If someone hits the door or smashes something on the door, just do it. I will take it all my responsibility if something happens!"

"Yes!" The guard shouted in unison, loud and righteous, making some people who were just following the trend hurriedly cover their faces and turn away.

The next morning, Xiao Yao and the old lady were waiting for news at the mansion. The Duke Qinguo's Mansion quietly sent someone to spread the message, saying that many officials of the court believed that the main source of defeat in the north was the General's Mansion, and there was public anger, so they asked the General's Mansion.

The male man went north to resist the atonement of the Beirong and appease the public's anger. In the afternoon, the emperor would summon some people from the General's Mansion to the palace.

Xiao Yao and the old lady looked at each other and knew that the disaster, or opportunity, they had been waiting for, had finally come.

Just after noon, the eunuch came to pass the emperor's oral order, summoning the old ladies of the General's Mansion, Xiao Xu, Xiao Zhao and Miss Xiao to the palace to meet.

The original owner's wife, second aunt and several sisters-in-law all showed panic on their faces and said nervously: "What should I do? Is the emperor obeying slander and wanting to punish our general's mansion?"

Xiao Yao comforted them: "Don't worry, the emperor is wise and powerful, and will not believe in slander." He was afraid that they would be thinking about it in the mansion, so he said, "Are all the things I asked you to prepare for me before? If not, immediately

Production. Whether our General's Mansion can survive this time depends on you."
