The emperor also knew that at this time, if he didn't punish Jiang Zhan, there would be no way to suppress the anger in the hearts of the ministers.

In fact, they don't care what other people think.

However, Jiang Zhan's matter must be dealt with.

"I punished you for half a year as a warning, can you be convinced?" The emperor looked at Jiang Zhandao.

"Thank you for your kindness." Jiang Zhan knelt down to thank him and blocked the mouths of those ministers.

Originally, they thought that the punishment given by the emperor was too easy.

Jiang Zhan himself has a lot of money, and the emperor's punishment is like tickling his boots for him, and there is no substantial harm at all.

However, the emperor's golden mouth, and Jiang Zhan has already been grateful, if they hold on to it any longer, they will despise the emperor's majesty.

After Jiang Zhan was fined Yulu, the emperor ordered him to temporarily close his doors in the palace and wait for the summons.

He knew that the emperor did this completely to avoid the mouth of the ministers in the court.

This matter has been exposed like this, and other people who want to trouble Jiang Zhan, because he has thought about it behind closed doors at home, are completely fine.

In order not to disturb, Jiang Zhan even closed the door directly and never left his mansion for half a step.

Those people stared at him for a few days, and after finding that he really didn't care about the affairs of the court and China anymore, they finally put their minds at ease.

Jiang Zhan's days in the mansion were more leisurely than others imagined, accompanying the children with Xue Yao all day long, and then cleaning up the accounts.

Their home is quiet and peaceful, but the situation in the DPRK and China is constantly changing.

Half a month later, Jiang Zhan's time to think about it had come.

The emperor directly asked him to go to the court again.

After all, the Criminal Department can't be left without an owner for a day, and Jiang Zhan didn't have time to arrange it when something happened suddenly, or the emperor directly ordered the waiter of the Criminal Department to temporarily replace him to deal with the miscellaneous affairs of the Criminal Department.

"Your Majesty, what is the reason for the strange atmosphere in the DPRK and China recently?" Jiang Zhan keenly found that all the ministers were silent a lot when they were in the court.

They used to be very fond of other people's activities.

"News has come from the border that the king of the Western Regions has died of illness and that there has been a coup d'état in their country." The emperor sighed.

"The first king didn't have an heir?" Jiang Zhan was not very clear about the affairs of the Western Regions.

After his men were arrested, all news of him was cut off.

What's more, he promised the emperor that he would no longer meddle in this matter, so naturally he would not rashly send someone over.

"No, it is said that the old king went suddenly, and everyone was caught off guard, so after his funeral, his sons began to compete for the throne." After all, they are all the sons of the old king, and no one wants to let others sit in that position.

Even if they are all brothers, only by sitting in that position can they truly become the masters of the Western Regions.

Prince, they've done enough, so they've been keeping up with each other.

Several of their princes have support, and now they don't obey anyone, so they have been deliberately stumbling on each other.

"Your Majesty means that the king of the Western Regions has not yet been decided, so there will continue to be chaos over there for a while?" Jiang Zhan frowned slightly.

"No, the new king has already been chosen, the eldest son of the old king." After such a long civil war, the people of the Western Regions couldn't stand it.

Hades fought and the imps suffered, obviously it had nothing to do with them, but it turned out that they were about to collapse.

"Now that the matter is over, why are all my colleagues still full of sorrow?" Jiang Zhan felt that their attitude seemed to be not happy at all.

"The new king of the Western Regions has written to me, and he apologizes to me, saying that some time ago, due to too many domestic affairs, there was no time to take care of the border bandits, and now they have sent troops to solve the problem...... "The other party obviously wants to continue to establish diplomatic relations with them.

"Your Majesty is going to send a gift to congratulate him on his accession to the throne?" Hearing this, Jiang Zhan didn't have any opinion on this.

He felt that the emperor was thinking very carefully.

Subsequently, after the emperor retreated, he directly took out a letter and handed it to Jiang Zhan.

Jiang Zhan opened it and looked at it for some reason.

This letter was sent back from the border by the emperor's men.

After he went there, he never revealed his identity, so he found out a lot of real information.

It turned out that the peace in the Western Regions was fake, and after the new king ascended the throne, he began to gather troops in the Western Regions.

"Your Majesty is worried that the Western Regions is doing this to attack our court?" Jiang Zhan didn't expect those people to dare to disobey the yin.

On the surface, he wrote a letter to deceive them, but secretly he has been training soldiers.

"I'm not sure exactly what they want to do, but I can't rule out that they have the idea of attacking the imperial court." The emperor was just not sure of their purpose, so he would come to Jiang Zhan to discuss.

"The situation in the Western Regions has not been conveyed, and the border guards may not be right-hearted." Jiang Zhan had always been suspicious of this person.

"I also feel that there is something wrong with the borders." Otherwise, how could no one report such a big thing.

Jiang Zhan felt that someone on the border was secretly colluding with the Western Regions, and although the emperor was also suspicious at that time, his people did not find out the clues.

It wasn't until this time, when a message came from the Western Regions, that the emperor was sure that everything was premeditated, and someone from their court was involved.

In the past, the Seven Princes betrayed the imperial court, and they could all be eliminated by him and Jiang Zhan, but now if they really dare to turn their elbows outward, then he will never show mercy......

"If you want to determine what the Western Regions have been doing lately, changing the guards will be the quickest way." Although it is not certain whether he really took refuge in the Western Regions, at least his hands are not very clean.

After all, if it weren't for his control, how could the border have not moved until now?

"I also want to replace him, but there are no candidates in the DPRK at the moment." If you choose someone who is not bold enough, you may still be bought.

There are really few generals that the emperor can trust.

In the past, the Seventh Prince worked in the military department, and many people secretly took refuge in him.

Therefore, the prince's subordinates almost did not find a few generals with strong martial arts and godlike soldiers, most of whom were crooked melons and cracked dates.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the former Hussar Generals?" The only person who could compete with General Zhenyuan before.

It's a pity that he was too upright, so he directly spoke against the emperor in the court.

He is crawling around in the barracks all day long, and he is naturally a gangster, and the rules are dead things to him.

The hussar general valued his subordinates too much, and the emperor wanted to weaken his strength before, so he deliberately pressed some of his subordinates and did not give the other party a promotion.

This incident made him very displeased, after all, the official positions of the soldiers were all won through bloody battles, unlike those civil servants, who turned over by currying favor with the emperor.

So when the emperor refused to reward a few of his subordinates, the hussar army felt uncomfortable, so he simply talked to him a few words.

The Emperor Taishang was immediately furious and reprimanded him fiercely.

At that time, several courtiers in the court who had a good relationship with him pleaded for him and asked him to admit his mistake to the emperor.

But he resolutely refused to admit that he was wrong, after all, if the emperor neglected the meritorious people in the barracks, who would be willing to risk his life to protect the court and the people in the future.

The Emperor Taishang was so impressed by his attitude that he couldn't step down, so he simply dismissed him from his official position.

At that time, the hussar general was just over forty years old, and he could actually serve the imperial court.

However, the emperor's actions made him chill, and if he got the emperor's reward alone, he couldn't get over it in his heart.

So he immediately took off his hat and walked out of the Jinluan Hall directly.

His demeanor shocked many people in the court, after all, few people dared to talk to the emperor like this back then.

But he just did it, and he retreated, although the final result was a little embarrassing, but in the end he was benevolent.

Immediately after his deposition from office, the Emperor Taishang rewarded those who had made great contributions to that war.

"The hussar generals are now in their fifties, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate for him to garrison the border again, right?" The emperor frowned, and finally remembered who this person was.

In fact, he was also impressed by the hussar general, and he even interceded for the other party at the beginning.

"Wechen is not trying to recommend the hussar general." The other party is so old, and he has been fighting all year round, and he doesn't know how many dark wounds he has left in his body.

"Then why did you suddenly mention him?" The emperor was also confused.

"The hussar general is dedicated to the country, although he speaks uprightly, but his heart is good." Jiang Zhan spoke highly of him.

"What do you mean?" The emperor is going to be confused by him.

"Wechen once checked the hussar general and learned that several of his sons are capable of good." Jiang Zhan once secretly investigated most of the officials in the DPRK and China.

He was afraid that the DPRK and Chinese officials would defraud them behind their backs.

"You're asking me to send one of his sons." After a while, the emperor finally came to his senses.

"That's right, Weichen learned that his eldest son happened to be working in the military department." Jiang Zhan naturally had a good intention when he mentioned him.

Although he was deposed back then, the Emperor Taishang cared about their loyalty and made indelible contributions to the imperial court.

Originally, with his identity, he should be able to become a king with a different surname under one person and above ten thousand.

However, he refused to do so, insisted on not backing down, and threw away everything he had.

In fact, he deliberately took this opportunity to leave the court, although he failed to serve the court much, but he sent several of his sons to the court.

He and his master taught him and his sons themselves.

"The Squire of the Army?" The emperor really didn't notice that he and the hussar general turned out to be father and son.

"That's right, although they didn't deliberately cover up this matter, they are also very low-key, so there are very few people in the court who know his identity." Jiang Zhan might not have found out if he hadn't found someone to investigate.

In fact, when Emperor Taishang punished his family, he still retained the qualifications of the male members of their family to participate in the imperial examination and martial arts.

The hussar general knew that this was an alternative appeasement from the Emperor Taishang, so their family is now prosperous and still a big family in the capital.

Jiang Zhan felt that it was too appropriate to send him, after all, he stretched out his hand well, and he was personally raised by his father, so his conduct must not be bad.

The emperor thought he was a brilliant plan, but he didn't believe in the man's abilities.

After all, although the other party was recommended by Jiang Zhan, compared with him in all aspects, the emperor still believed in Jiang Zhan more......
