Chapter 101 Prestige

Half a day later, Li Tie's soldiers quickly entered Wan County and found Chen Changshi in front of Taiping Granary.

Chen Zhuo, Wen An and his party had been wandering around Wan County for five or six days and carefully inspected every granary. The trembling magistrate of Wan County felt very happy for himself.

On that day, the princess led troops to suppress bandits in Li County and wiped out two bandit villages in Li County. There were five hundred headless corpses hanging outside the military stronghold.

After the news spread, all Nanyang County and its affiliated counties were shaken by it! The people clapped their hands and cheered. The county magistrates felt a deep chill coming from their necks.

Immediately afterwards, County Magistrate Cai was angrily rebuked by the princess and dismissed from his official position. A scholar with a scholarly background was favored by the princess and promoted to the acting county magistrate.

This news shocked the county magistrates even more than the previous one!

After all, it is understandable that the bandits are more ferocious, so placing heavy responsibility on a county magistrate with a serious imperial examination background is a political signal that cannot be ignored or misinterpreted by anyone, and it is also a silent deterrent from the princess to all county magistrates.

All orders from the princess must be taken seriously and must not be ignored.

Magistrate Wu of Wan County quickly dug out the official documents of the palace from the previous period, bought grain at an urgent rate of 100,000 yuan, and filled the original Taiping granary.

Thanks to County Magistrate Wu's prompt action, he finished his work just in time before Director Chen Changshiwen came to inspect. During the past few days of inspections, Magistrate Wu was extremely lucky. By the way, I also wrote several letters privately to the magistrates of several nearby counties to remind them to respond promptly.

The soldiers dismounted, came forward to see Chen Changshi, and whispered their intention.

Chen Zhuo remained calm and nodded slightly. He turned around and gave an order, asking people to set up tables and chairs, grind ink and lay out paper, and write with a swipe of a pen: "Take it back and let General Li copy it."

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, took the letter and immediately returned to the military camp.

Li Tie wrote it down himself, and a total of fifteen people signed it, including Yu Chong and others. That night, the memorial was rushed 800 miles to the capital.

When Zuo Zhen knew about this, it was already the morning of the second day.

The bruises on Zuo Zhen's face have faded, and the marks are basically invisible. There was still a dull pain in my waist and abdomen, so I could only lie down and rest.

Hearing this, Zuo Zhen was furious and jumped out of bed suddenly, ignoring the pain in his waist and abdomen: "Come here, call that bastard Li Tie."

After a while, Li Tie came.

There were also a group of military generals who came together.

Before Zuo Zhen's ferocious scowl fully unfolded, he saw the generals quickly standing in two lines after entering the military tent, with Li Tie and Yu Chong being the first.

A little beautiful girl wearing a red military uniform walked in slowly: "Has General Zuo's injury been healed?"

Zuo Zhen: "..."

His almost healed face suddenly felt pain. My waist and abdomen also started to throb.

The princess waited patiently for a moment and asked again with a smile: "Can General Zuo stay in bed and walk?"

Zuo Zhen gritted his teeth and responded with a sneer: "The princess has the leisure to care about the general, so she might as well think about how to deal with the court's accountability!"

Jiang Shaohua smiled leisurely: "My princess has helped the people of Li County to suppress bandits and eliminate evil. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother know about it, and it's too late to praise me. How can they blame me?"

"To say the least, if the imperial court holds me to account, it will be over if I write a memorial to admit my mistakes. After all, I am still a young and willful child."

"General Zuo, on the other hand, has committed evil deeds in the military camp. All the soldiers are full of resentment. The military generals are afraid of General Zuo's strong support and dare not speak out. Now General Li has the courage to write a memorial to impeach General Zuo, and everyone signed it. It can be seen that everyone has One heart.”

"General Zuo had better write an apology letter and send it to the capital. If you go by yourself, you can still retain the last bit of dignity." As he said that, he expressed regret and sympathy: "As a man who has reached the level of General Zuo, everyone has betrayed their relatives, except for No one among the Zuo family’s soldiers is willing to side with General Zuo. It’s such a failure.”

The muscles on Zuo Zhen's face kept twitching.

Like an enraged beast, it wanted to rush forward and bite with all its might, but when it raised its head, it was in front of it that it saw an unshakable giant beast.

"The princess is going too far!" Zuo Zhen, who was extremely angry, squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

Jiang Shaohua nodded in agreement: "You are right, I am indeed using my power to oppress others. General Zuo has done this before. He is so angry now because he has become the one being oppressed."

"Perhaps, after a period of time, news comes from the court that Prime Minister Wang is protecting General Zuo, and then I will be the one who is unspeakably angry."

Zuo Zhen snorted heavily.

Jiang Shaohua sat down on the chair and reached out to dust his clean sleeves: "General Zuo summoned Li Tie and the others. I think it's important. Just say what you want! Don't worry about me, the princess."

It can't be beaten, and it can't be said. Using power to suppress people doesn't work.

Zuo Zhen, who was boiling with anger, glared at Li Tie and the others fiercely, and said without hiding it: "Li Tie, aren't you afraid of Prime Minister Wang's investigation?"

When Li Tie heard the words Prime Minister Wang, his body shrank reflexively.

Yu Chong on the side sneered and opened his mouth: "It's too late for Prime Minister Wang to take care of state affairs, so he has no time to pay attention to us generals who are far away in the Nanyang military camp. General Zuo, on the other hand, failed to live up to Prime Minister Wang's high expectations. Prime Minister Wang wants to be held accountable, first of all The one I blame is you, General Zuo."

"General Zuo has time, so let's first think about how to apologize to Prime Minister Wang!"

Li Tie's originally bent waist straightened up again, and his tone became tougher: "We are a garrison in Nanyang, and we are supported by taxes from the people of Nanyang County. Prime Minister Wang cannot punish us without reason."

"The things that General Zuo did in the military camp have been written down in the memorial one by one. There is not a single false accusation. If the court doesn't believe it, just send an imperial envoy to run it. General Zuo wants to cover up the sky with one hand, but he can't!"

At this point, I have already broken my skin and there is no need to say any more.

Zuo Zhen looked ferocious and pointed at the door: "Get out!"

Li Tie did not leave immediately, but raised his hands to the princess and said: "Princess, I will leave first."

The princess expressed her approval.

The other generals also resigned and left one by one.

After all the military generals had retreated, Jiang Shaohua stood up slowly: "I want to go to the martial arts school to watch the soldiers drill, and you can also take the opportunity to practice your skills. General Zuo, do you want to go with us?"

General Zuo's eyes sparkled, and he said firmly: "The general is still injured, so it is inconvenient to accompany him."

Jiang Shaohua was very considerate: "Then wait until the injury heals before practicing again."

He smiled brightly and left gracefully.

Zuo Zhen, who was left with his nose almost crooked with anger, screamed incompetently and kicked the chair away. The sturdy wooden chair was kicked away and fell heavily to the ground, accompanied by a shrill cry: "Ah!"

"What's wrong, General?"

"Call a military doctor quickly, the general's toe was kicked off!"
