All the ministers were able to listen to it, and they all secretly said that this was the little man of Lord Xia who was so bold, but he didn't expect it to be the daughter of Governor Xia, and he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head after exclaiming, although this Lord Xia's official position is not high, he has always been conscientious, how could he give birth to such a stubborn daughter, it is really heartbreaking.

Xia Li didn't expect her father to come over and tell the truth, she came without telling her father the truth, did she cause him trouble. He bowed his head apologetically.

The emperor said in surprise, "Oh! Your daughter? What's the name?"

Xia Li looked up, and saw that the person sitting on the top of the hall was dressed as Emperor Ming, with a strict face, and his eyes were like torches, and he was somewhat similar to the second prince Chu Ye, and his voice had a sense of oppression, and he hurriedly said after seeing it:

"The emperor's courtier, Xia Li" "Then tell me why you stopped the Imperial Forest Army from arresting people, do you want to give me a reason to show up, be careful to cure your crimes" The emperor said solemnly.

Xia Li was not afraid, but she felt a little guilty when she saw her father coming, she didn't care what she did, she was most afraid of harming her father.

After thinking about it, in that way:

"The emperor's courtiers don't understand the government and don't understand what the Northwest Army is like, but when they see these people carrying their son's corpse, the people's hearts are uneven, they are soldiers for the country, soldiers in order to protect the emperor's great rivers and mountains, but why didn't the horse leather shroud die on the battlefield, but died of hunger and disease? This is intolerable for anyone to hear, the courtiers know that the emperor is a ruler of the ages, it is impossible to see the suffering of the people, and it is impossible to let their soldiers die unjustly in the hands of their own people, so the courtiers see that the imperial forest army will help them, because the courtiers firmly believe that the emperor will give them an explanation after hearing these words, and give them a clear mind for the tragic death of these soldiers."

Xia Li spoke loudly and sonorously, this was the first time in her life that she had said so many words, because she wanted to fight for a chance for herself, a chance not to drag down her father.

The emperor listened expressionlessly, and was not moved in the slightest because of her words, and she couldn't see the emperor's heart.

Xia Zhi'an didn't expect his daughter to speak like this, and his worried thoughts calmed down instantly, although the emperor has a good face, he is not a faint gentleman, his daughter's words have their own discernment, and he knows that the emperor will make a good decision.

After a while, the emperor said loudly: "You only listen to their words and judge right and wrong, do you know that they are not the rebellious people who disturb the court?" ”

Xia Li replied without humility or arrogance:

"Your Majesty, the courtiers think that they are His Majesty's people whether they are chaotic or poor, the emperor is the heaven of the people, and it is natural for them to seek the emperor's protection when they are in trouble, it is the chaotic people that the emperor will definitely be in chaos, and the emperor will be angry, even if the courtiers do not stop each other, the courtiers also believe that the emperor will do this, so the courtiers have the courage to stop and not let the Imperial Forest Army cause harm to them, and it will not be good to misunderstand this matter to the emperor at that time."

"So you're thinking about me."

"Your Majesty, the courtiers just do what they want, it's a bit exaggerated to say that it's really what the emperor thinks, and the courtiers don't dare to say it."

The emperor then said sternly: "You are still smart, but why do you pretend to be your father's servant? ”

Xia Liben still thought about how she could lead this topic to this, but she didn't expect the emperor to say it himself, in that way:

"Your Majesty, the courtiers want to save their brother, that's why they ...... Pretending to be a father's little girl."

"Save your brother, what's wrong with your brother?"

"Your Majesty, it's because ...... It's a long story."

"Say, I command you to say"

"It's because yesterday the eldest prince said that he wanted to invite his brothers to eat and drink......"

Before she could finish her words, the eldest prince on the other side scrambled to interrupt: "Father, I know ...... about this."

"Shut up, I'm going to listen to Miss Xia now" The emperor didn't want to listen to the words of the eldest prince, and pointed to Xia Lidao.

Xia Li glanced at the emperor proudly, and said what happened yesterday, she said it in detail, from beginning to end, what happened to her brother together, and what happened to the second prince told the emperor in detail, and finally explained how Wen Qian went to assassinate the eldest prince, and how she said that it was the second prince's instigation, and how she framed her brother to make it clear, but she omitted the matter that Wen Qian and the second prince had been out for a long time and didn't say anything, and then she didn't say it for some reason.

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at the eldest prince on the other side, and said angrily:

"You still have time to go out and have fun, have you seen the excerpt of the canal on the South Road a few days ago, because of your mistakes, the canal was full of holes, so that the farmers have no harvest of hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, you don't want to repent and have the heart to play, get out of my knees"

The eldest prince shook his body when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said "yes" before hurriedly leaving, but this person didn't forget to look at Xia Li when he left, and the hatred in his eyes made people feel cold.

Xia Li was afraid of him, so he naturally glared back.

There was silence in the hall for a long time, and then the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Wang Shumi, since you pointed out this matter first, the affairs of a few people outside today will be handed over to you to deal with, and today you will investigate and tell everyone the results of this matter tomorrow morning."

The king's privy envoy hurriedly said, "It's Your Majesty."

"Xia Li Girl"

"The courtiers are there"

"Although what you said today has some truth, it still can't exempt you from the crime of trespassing on the palace gate."

Xia Li didn't expect the emperor to settle accounts after the autumn, and he thought that the emperor would let her go! Hurry up in that way:

"Please forgive the emperor, the courtiers are also in a hurry, so ...... ......"

"I'll punish you to learn the rules from the palace maids, do what girls should do, and stop causing trouble for my father everywhere."

Xia Wei refused and let her learn the rules, which she was unwilling to do in her life, but there was no way for the emperor to speak, and if she refused, she would definitely be said to be resisting, so she had to say in a muffled voice: "Yes, the emperor"

"What? You don't want to."

The emperor also heard the dissatisfaction in her voice, and Xia Li hurriedly said: "No, the emperor"

"Humph! If you don't learn some rules, next time you want to break into my palace gate, what will happen to my Imperial Forest Army? ”

"It's the emperor, the courtiers have no complaints" Xia said while slandering in his heart, and he can't say anything if he has complaints! Now it's hard to explain to the emperor, and if you want to say that this person is angry, my father will definitely be implicated.

"Okay, that's it for today, let's all retreat!"

"Yes, send the emperor" all the courtiers knelt down and sent the emperor away.

Xia Zhi'an saw that the emperor said to Xia Li in a loud voice: "You come out with me" After this person finished speaking, he hurried out of the hall.

Xia Li knew that his father was angry, so he hurriedly followed and came out quickly.

A few officials saw Xia Li there and said: "Miss Xia, I have time to sit at home, my little girl is very bored at home alone."
