Chapter 578 I Didn't Think So Much

There was a war on the border between Song and Wei, and the situation was urgent. Xie Yuan quickly packed his bags and went to the front with his own soldiers to lead the troops.

Before going, he summoned the three city defense battalions and the commanders of the imperial army, and told them to protect the safety of the little emperor, and if they were unresolved, they should go to Shen Guozhu.

Sun Tian and Zhou Fang looked at her worried, and Sun Tian said:

"General, let us go too. I don't think it's good for you to go alone."

Xie Yuan smiled and said:

"How could it be me alone? There are so many soldiers in the army, besides, how many soldiers on the front line..."

Zhou Fang frowned worriedly and said:
"You know, we didn't mean that."

The small smile on Xie Yuan's face gradually disappeared and turned into a serious one. Her Danfeng eyes drooped, and she said in a soothing tone:
"Don't worry about me. Master has already made arrangements. The Shen family has a foothold on the front line. They will take care of me so that I won't be alone. The key is you. follow other people's way."

"Hey..." Zhou Fang sighed, unable to say anything more, turned to look at Chen Jiu and Li Huanshi, and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Li Huanshi drooped his face and said dissatisfiedly:

"I don't like the capital, I don't like the present, but I still like the days when I followed... General Xie."

Xie Yuan glanced at his eyes, and said in a cold voice:

"Don't say it's useless, as long as you have a heart of loyalty to serve the country, there is nothing complicated, and do your job well."

"Yes." He replied muffled.

Ever since everyone knew that Xie Yuan's identity was a girl, Li Huanshi's emotions were very conflicted. This kind of conflict... Xie Yuan is too familiar.

Just like when the old emperor found out, he was anxious and angry but unwilling to accept it.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan couldn't help feeling a little emotional: the few people who followed her reacted differently to the exposure of her identity.

Sun Tian knew about it because of an emergency, so he felt more distressed for her, and usually protected her more. Sometimes Xie Yuan even felt that Sun Tian was like a big brother who protected her, like a relative.

As for Zhou Fang... Zhou Fang had vaguely guessed before, and since he knew that his guess was confirmed, he accepted it very quickly, and it was almost the same as before.There is even a faint sense of relief that the mystery has finally been solved.

Ke Sande...Kesan De is very contradictory. While thinking that she is a good general, he feels sorry for her and feels ashamed. This attitude makes him sensitive and furious.

It is so difficult for people who have been with her for so many years to accept her status as a girl, let alone other people who have never been in contact with her.

Thinking about this, she gave a wry smile, looked up at Chen Jiu who once said frankly that she would help her, but now under the pressure of gossip, deliberately kept a distance from her, and said with a smile:

"Chen Dutong... Commander Liu, I need to trouble you two to take care of my fellow brothers."

She raised her hands and clasped her fists to salute, her movements were elegant and handsome, and her demeanor was heart-wrenching.

Liu Guangtai and Chen Jiu looked at her, their eyes flickered, they raised their hands involuntarily, and said in response:

"Do not worry."

"My brother, of course it should be."

Xie Yuan nodded, did not stop any longer, got on his horse neatly, and galloped away with the team. Just like before, once he decided to leave, he never looked back, decisive and resolute.

……

……

In the Hall of Wende, Eunuch He was entering the books, holding a pen in his hand, slowly comparing the names on the paper, and writing on the paper.

Shen Qingzhi watched anxiously from the side, and finally asked:
"Eunuch He, the matter is very important. Let me ask you, is there any change in the court recently, and there is any rumor that is not good for His Majesty."

Eunuch He finished writing, looked up at him, and said:
"...I'm a little curious. You are testing me by asking these questions. Do you know your movements?"

Shen Qingyi was taken aback, and it took a while to react, and said angrily:

"What do you mean by that?"

Eunuch He still said unhurriedly:
"What do you mean Shen Guozhu doesn't know? In the middle of the night before yesterday, a total of three groups of people entered your mansion. The last two people had a huge quarrel in your mansion and even patted the table."

Shen Qingzhi's eyes flickered, and there was faint suspicion and disappointment in his eyes, and he said wearily:

"You planted eyeliner in my house."

Eunuch He and Shen Qingzhi have a strong personal friendship, so he could hear the sadness in his words, so he blinked his eyes and said in a cold and indifferent tone:

"The responsibility is already assigned, it's just a question of whether to use it or not."

"So, even you think that I, Shen Qingzhi, will seek power and usurp the country?" Shen Qingzhi asked.

Eunuch He looked at him and said seriously:
"...People's hearts will always change. Since you can't, why didn't you report them to the court when those two people persuaded you? These two rebellious officials and thieves, you keep them, don't you?" Give them hope, so that they can stir up troubles, form cliques, and push you to the emperor's throne step by step?!"

Shen Qingzhi's body shook, and he said for a while:

"I didn't think too much about it...the court has a lot about His Majesty...I just don't think it's necessary to ruin the lives of a family just because of a thought."

Eunuch He was in a hurry, and said solemnly:

"You don't think that much, but others think too much. Do you know what those two people have been doing these two days? They are lobbying and wooing people everywhere, trying to win those neutral people to join you. If, you really don't have that Heart, you should report their crimes in front of everyone in the court, so that those watchers will completely stop thinking about it!"

Shen Qingzhi looked bleak, nodded for a while, and said:
"You're right... Tomorrow, I'll do that."

After saying that, he turned around and left, because of his exhaustion, he had already bent his back a lot, and bent a lot, as if in an instant, he was ten years older again.

At this moment...he seemed to see his own dark future.

The moment he stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly stopped and asked:

"My son said that those who followed Ma Guogong... have the intention of rebelling and establishing a new emperor, do you know?"

Hearing this, Eunuch He's face became more and more gloomy, and he said sullenly:
"You take care of your people, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

When Shen Qingzhi heard this, he didn't look back, but still nodded dejectedly, and left.

Then, at the court hall on the second day, according to what Eunuch He said, Yu Xiao and Huo Nanzhi were reported in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu court.

He even said what they encouraged him to stand on his own, expressing his attitude.

The ministers were in an uproar...
