Zhao Duo looked at Jing Ning, who was obviously reduced to a prisoner but still put on a proud posture, and his eyes were cold.

"Zheng Jingning, you are a little general's wife, not only do you kneel down when you see me, but you also don't know the etiquette, this is really Prime Minister Zheng's good daughter!"

Jing Ning heard the threatening aura in Zhao Duo's words, her eyebrows jumped, and she saluted him.

Zhao Duo didn't say much and asked Jing Ning to leave Dali Temple.

Now that he has ascended the throne, they are ministers to him, and he has no need to fear anything.

By the time Jing Ning returned to the General's Mansion, it was already night.

Old General Xiao kept pacing in the hall, on the one hand, worried about Jing Ning, and on the other hand, worried about Xiao Rin, who was out on the expedition.

After the surrounding countries knew that Zhao Duo succeeded to the throne, they wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in the imperial court to launch a war against the border passes, and the enemy countries thought that Zhao Duo's accession to the throne this time was an excellent opportunity.

"Daddy, I'm back." Jing Ning saw the old general Xiao with a sad face from a distance, and her heart was mixed.

After General Xiao saw her, his tense face relaxed, "It's good to come back, if you're hungry, let the kitchen go and make you something to eat." ”

Jing Ning nodded, she hadn't eaten anything except drinking water that day, and now she was really hungry.

"Daddy, is there any news of Xiao Rin?" She knew that the enemy troops at the border were all ready to move.

General Xiao shook his head slightly, and that day he wrote a letter to the barracks to inform his family that everything was fine, but he didn't see Xiao Rin reply.

No news is the best news, and she has to keep a good attitude now and never go wrong.

"Daddy, what do you think about Zhao Duo's matter?" Jing Ning asked his subordinates to leave and sat down side by side with Old General Xiao.

"Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, the only thing we have to do as courtiers is to assist the king." When General Xiao said this, he was weak.

Indeed, now that Zhao Duo has ascended the throne, if they do anything, they will definitely be branded as rebellious ministers and thieves, and when the time comes, not to mention the General's Mansion, even the Prime Minister's Mansion will be implicated.

Jing Ning knew the current form, they couldn't do anything.

On that day, she reminded Song Yuan, but she still couldn't escape Zhao Duo's calculations, Song Yuan had no means, if he met Zhao Duo, he would definitely lose, what she didn't expect was that Song Yuan would die because of this.

Zhao Yu and Song Yuan exchanged identities, except for her, only the Queen Mother knew, Zhao Duo thought that it was "Zhao Yu" who died, and he would definitely not investigate this matter, and now he can only plan and find a way to find Zhao Yu.

She told the Queen Mother that if Zhao Duo ascended the throne, the country would be in chaos, and a few days later, this sentence was verified.

After Zhao Duo ascended the throne, he began to stretch out his hand to the people in the court, and all those who disobeyed him were solved by him, no matter who it was, no one was spared, and at this time, the entire court was in turmoil.

Many people are sick and don't go to the court for some reason, and now Zhao Duo is a selfish tyrant, everything has to be done according to his will, only listen to slander, and start to deal with palace people if he is not happy.

Jing Ning received news from the palace that Zhao Duo had put the Queen Mother under house arrest.

It took a lot of effort for her to enter the palace gate, and who knew that she met Zhao Duo on the way to the Queen Mother's palace.

"Meet Your Majesty." Jing Ning bent his knees slightly and gave Zhao Duo a salute.

If Zhao Duo was a treacherous villain before, Zhao Duo's eyes are full of violence now.

"Zheng Jingning, what are you doing when you enter the palace?" Zhao Duo asked coldly.

"Back to the emperor, I heard that the queen mother is not in good health, and this time the courtiers entered the palace to visit the queen mother." Jing Ning lowered his head and said word by word.

"I've already gone to see the Queen Mother, she's fine, you can go back." Zhao Duo said.

Hearing this, Jing Ning didn't say anything, and got up and left after answering, she couldn't enter the palace now, she could find another time to enter the palace again, there was no need to argue with Zhao Duo.

Zhao Duo looked at Jing Ning's departing back, hooking his lips meaningfully.

On the other side, under Xiao Rin's personal campaign, the enemy army was forced to retreat.

Xiao Rin's reputation is expanding step by step, the war in his hands has never been lost, no matter how unwilling the enemy country is, he can only consider it outside, and dare not attack at will.

When the people learned of Xiao Rin's existence, everyone said that he was the country's "victorious general", who forced the enemy back every time, and was their "god of war".

And Jing Ning, who was far away in the capital, heard the news, and his nervous mood also relaxed.

Shocked the enemy army, at this moment, the enemy army will not dare to attack easily, then Xiao Rin can return to Beijing.

Xiao Rin, who originally planned to return to Beijing, was entangled in another incident, and received news that the enemy army planned to attack them, so he had to continue in the barracks.

……

In the main hall, this is the second time that General Xiao and Prime Minister Zheng Cheng have gone to the early court after Zhao Duo ascended the throne, and the officials in the palace have also followed the court.

"Old General Xiao, General Xiao went out on an expedition and made many military exploits, in order to respond to the voice of the people, I decided to canonize Xiao Rin as a victorious general, let him continue to stay at the border and protect the safety of the country, what do you think?" Zhao Duo looked at the silent old general Xiao below, and the corners of his mouth hooked.

When General Xiao heard this, his face sank, and Zhao Duo's meaning was to let Xiao Rin guard the border pass, and he couldn't return to Beijing at will without a call.

Before General Xiao could reply, someone stood up, "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the emperor's idea is good, but our country just lacks a major general like General Xiao to guard the border pass." ”

The person who spoke was the sworn enemy of General Xiao, Master Shangshu Li Li.

Li Li has always been in opposition to the Xiao family in the court, and he can't wait to kick General Xiao out of the court.

"Li Aiqing's words, I am very happy to hear them, I don't know what General Xiao thinks?" Zhao Duo nodded.

If Old General Xiao refuses now, Zhao Duo will completely dispose of him.

Old General Xiao had a calm face and agreed with Zhao Duo's words.

For Zhao Duo, Xiao Rin is the biggest threat, and Xiao Rin must be isolated from the capital.

When this news reached Jing Ning's ears, her face changed, Zhao Duo was now starting to target them, she didn't know what Zhao Duo would do next.

"Daddy, I want to go to the border." Jing Ning told Old General Xiao what she thought in her heart, since Xiao Rin couldn't come back, then she could go to him.

"No, the border is too dangerous." Old General Xiao said.

Zhao Duo is now trying to find a way to separate Jing Ning and Xiao Rin, and it is impossible to let her go easily.

Jing Ning pursed her lips, she couldn't guess Zhao Duo's thoughts now, the most important thing was that Zhao Yu didn't know where it was, and she couldn't find it if she wanted to.

Now, Zhao Duo is not only brutal, but also mediocre, the minister's advice is not listened to, but he likes the good words of the traitorous minister, and several loyal ministers have been executed one after another.

Zhao Duo is now constantly removing the courtiers who were facing Zhao Yu before, leaving some traitorous ministers in the palace, and his cruelty has made many ministers start to defect.
