Marquis Mingying guessed correctly that the spies arranged by Shen Yan were hidden in the crowd to see Yao Shangshu and his family off.

Although they had different stances from Yao Shangshu, seeing the family leave in embarrassment and being humiliated by the ruthless Commander Jiang before leaving, they could not help but sympathize with the unlucky Yao Shangshu.

The news reached the ears of the imperial guard Zhao Pingce. Zhao Pingce was jealous of Jiang Chenqi's status as a woman and did not see that Commander Jiang had leadership skills. He believed that Jiang Chenqi was using tricks to confuse the emperor and wanted to seize Commander Jiang's leverage.

"Commander Jiang is so powerful and powerful. She has been in the limelight for a while. First she detained Yao Shangshu and his family, then tortured the whole family into disgrace, and now she humiliates Yao Shangshu when they say goodbye. She is really a cruel and shameless traitor."

Bringing the spies' information to the emperor, Zhao Pingce knelt down and detailed Jiang Chenqi's mistakes, "As the commander of the Imperial Guard, Commander Jiang did not act in accordance with the law, abused his power and tortured Yao Shangshu's family, and tortured a good scholar and role model into a country man. Old farmer."

"According to the regulations, the dowry of the female family members is confiscated. In order to humiliate Yao Shangshu, Commander Jiang specially asked the imperial guards who raided the house to keep the dowry. If Yao Shangshu's family was killed and the dowry fell into her hands, his wishful thinking would be over."

It is normal for subordinates to be greedy. Shen Yan does not force his subordinates to be selfless saints. Thinking of Jiang Chenqi's recent behavior, he frowned slightly. Commander Jiang has been overbearing in things recently and did not consult with him before doing things.

Jiang Chenqi's reputation outside the palace was even worse. She humiliated Yao Lixing and did such a mindless thing.

Shen Yan decided to punish his restless subordinates and ordered Zhao Pingce to go to the palace of the Imperial Guard Commander to invite someone.

Zhao Pingce brought a team of guards to the commander's mansion and saw Jiang Chenqi drinking tea leisurely.

Jiang Chenqi was wearing the black and purple clothes of a first-grade official. She looked dignified and majestic. It was the clothes that Zhao Pingce dreamed of wearing. A first-grade official was the life-long dream of many officials.

Zhao Pingce spoke to Jiang Chenqi with a straight face, his tone was very cold, "Commander Jiang is so laid-back, won't your conscience hurt when you humiliate Yao Shangshu in public? Follow me into the palace quickly and listen to the emperor's teachings."

Her conscience did not hurt but she felt at ease. Jiang Chenqi tried her best to do what she should do. In order to protect Yao Shangshu's family, she not only protected Yao Shangshu's wife and children, but also let them learn the skills that farmers should master.

Putting down the tea cup without inviting Zhao Wei to drink tea, Jiang Chenqi stood up and said expressionlessly: "How can you be so merciful to a guilty minister? Zhao Guard pays attention to your words and deeds. If you speak for Yao Shangshu, I will suspect that you have something to hide from him. relationship."

Zhao Pingce snorted heavily, turned around and took the lead to leave, not bothering to waste words with Commander Jiang.

The emperor only summoned her, and Jiang Chenqi followed the imperial guards into the palace alone.

On the way, Jiang Chenqi thought about how the emperor defended her. She must have been happy to watch the show when Yao Shangshu was tormented. Since the emperor opened the golden mouth and let people go to show that his anger was gone, why should he teach her when his anger was gone?

Could it be that someone was slandering the emperor? Jiang Chenqi looked sharply at Zhao Pingce.

As the emperor's personal bodyguard, Zhao Pingce has always been at odds with her, so he might say bad things about her behind her back.

Seeing Shen Yan kneel down decisively, Jiang Chenqi knelt down quietly without hearing Shen Yan say anything about getting up.

After reading half of the poetry collection of the previous dynasty, Shen Yan put down the book and said slowly: "Do you know, Commander Jiang, that you are wrong? You have been acting on your own initiative recently, which has caused trouble to Yao Shangshu. Why bother to do this and make your reputation worse?"

Without her unnecessary actions, how could Yao Shangshu's family be safe and sound, and Jiang Chenqi would have no complaints or regrets.

"Wei Chen does not feel that he is at fault. The evidence collected shows that Yao Lizing is a hypocrite who is good at acting. On the surface, he is a minister of the Ministry of Finance who is devoted to the people. In private, he loves money and enjoys it. He deceives the emperor and all civil and military officials. Treat such a treacherous minister We can't let it go. It's so kind of the Emperor to grant Yao Lixing permission to retire and return to his hometown."

Shen Yan knew where the evidence came from. Seeing that Jiang Chenqi believed in the false evidence, he felt a little complacent, "Yao Shangshu has worked hard for Northern Qi. You should be tolerant when you are old and foolish. You should not torture meritorious ministers. In the Golden Palace, When I saw Yao Shangshu and his son, I was so surprised that I was speechless."

Yao Shangshu was highly praised by many scholars for his conduct as a sage. When we met again, the elegant temperament of the scholar had disappeared, his clothes were ragged and his expression was tired. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that he had suffered a serious crime at Jiang Tongling Farm.

Jiang Chenqi looked down at the exquisite patterns on the carpet and felt extremely ridiculous. The person who sent people to forge evidence was the emperor, and the person who tacitly allowed her to torture the Yao family was also the emperor. Now that she said sarcastic words, she would probably be punished.

Seeing that Jiang Chenqi didn't speak, Shen Yan was dissatisfied and said in a cold tone: "You are so capable, why don't you deal with Xie Jinghuai? He has been unwilling to hand over the military talisman, making it difficult for me to sleep and eat. I think you are a bully and afraid of the strong. , your attitude has been arrogant recently, and you have offended the civil and military officials of the entire court. I can’t do anything without teaching you a lesson. Commander Jiang was arrogant and suppressed the meritorious Shangshu Yao, took back some of the supervisory powers, and fined you fifteen battles."

Jiang Chenqi would not feel distressed if she took back all her supervisory rights. She would feel embarrassed if she was slapped with a slap in the face.

The eunuch who hit the board was merciless and used great strength to hit the board without giving Commander Jiang any face.

Not many people in the palace, eunuchs or maids, like Commander Jiang. Commander Jiang's reputation is almost unpopular.

Gritting her teeth and pushing herself to stand up, Jiang Chenqi remembered the faces of the two eunuchs and said in a low voice: "If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. You two have been more careful recently, beware of evil spirits coming to the door to seek your life. After all, in the palace It’s not uncommon for a person to die.”

The two eunuchs were shivering. They felt relieved when they were playing the game, forgetting that Commander Jiang was a person who must be punished.

Zhao Pingce strode over, waved his hand to let the eunuchs leave, and said in a mocking tone: "Commander Jiang's temperament has changed drastically recently, and he even threatened two eunuchs. What's wrong with them following orders? I'd say they acted lightly. You see, too. Now, the emperor will not always pamper you unconditionally. It is not appropriate for a woman to be an official, so it is better to resign as soon as possible and get married as soon as possible."

Thinking of Jiang Chenqi's bad reputation, Zhao Pingce changed his words and said: "I have been the commander of the Imperial Guard for a long time. Commander Jiang must have made a lot of money. Leave the right and wrong in the capital to settle in a place where no one knows, and find a good husband. What a wonderful life.”

Zhao Wewei's persuasion was all nonsense. He seemed to have her own interests in mind and did not consider her situation.

Dare to despise her identity as a woman, Jiang Chenqi said unceremoniously: "It is Jiang's honor to serve as an official in the court. As a first-class official, I have trampled countless men under my feet and enjoyed the majesty of being the commander of the Imperial Guard. It's not like marrying a husband and raising children." It is the life of a mediocre woman, and I, Jiang Chenqi, am destined to be a master and take a different path. Zhao Huwei's vision is too low. There is a queen in a neighboring country. Who says that women must be virtuous. If you like a husband, you can just look for her. .”
