C408 Chapter 8 Rise and Fall

The official locked Ming Di in his room and interrogated the bastard daughter in the main hall.

"Sister, you are the one who is going to enter the Palace's talent show. When you did this, when the news comes out, what do you want Daddy to do with himself? If he were to be sued, his entire family might be executed! Do you want our entire family to be buried with you? " The eldest daughter had a harsh expression on her face.

The concubine didn't know what was going on, so why did she end up like this? She had been destroyed. Her life had been ruined just like that. She pointed at the lineal daughter and begged, "Daddy, it's her! She was the one who was jealous of me for entering the palace and harming me! Daddy!"

"Get lost! I don't have a daughter like you! What a disgrace! Men, drag this slut away." The official had his hands behind his back and a look of disgust appeared on his face.

How would the bastard daughter know that everything was planned by her beloved father and daughter?

"Father..."

With a voice filled with endless despair, the bastard daughter was taken away.

The official's expression was not very good. It could be seen that he was somewhat guilty. The eldest daughter supported him as he sat down and comforted him. "Father, don't think too much. It is her good fortune that younger sister is able to contribute to our family. This time, the Duke of Yi will definitely remember your father's contribution. If your daughter becomes the palace's Your Ladyship... Then our family will prosper, won't we?"

The official lightly patted his daughter's hand.

"General Ming knows. This matter can only be resolved privately. At that time, no matter what, Ming Di wanted to marry his sister. His sister had been blessed with eight lifetimes of good fortune, and she had fallen into Ming Di's good graces. Ming Di is the most beloved son of General Ming. " The daughter of the first wife had a smile on her face, as if she had already made up her mind for the sake of the concubine.

The official nodded and looked outside the door. "Why hasn't the person who went to invite General Ming back yet?"

"Sir, perhaps it was delayed on the way back, and General Ming is in the military camp outside the Imperial Capital. It will take him about two hours to come over from there." The butler came to report.

Only then did the official feel somewhat relieved.

He went to ask General Ming's servant to stay in the military camp that was blocked. He waited for two to three hours, but he didn't even enter the main door of the military camp.

He was worried that he would be scolded by the officer if he went late, so he asked the general who was guarding the door again, "Is General Ming back? Something has happened to young master Ming Di. He needs General Ming to take care of him urgently."

"I told him that the general will be training outside and will not be able to come back for a while." The general guarding the door was a little impatient. Even if the rank 5 official came, he could only wait outside. What did this servant count as? He even urged him to come.

"It's getting late. I'll have to trouble you, Sir. When General Ming comes back, inform him that my master is waiting outside." The guard wanted to go back and report first. He was afraid that the official would blame him, so he gave the guard 20 taels of silver.

The guard weighed the silver in his hand and put it away. Only then did a smile appear on his face. "When General Ming returns, go and inform him."

"Thank you, sir." The servant thanked him and left.

Yu Longzi saw every action and action of these things.

"General Ming went to deal with the riot in the village, so Ming Di's matter can't be carried out for now." The guard replied.

"That's right." Yu Longzi's eyebrows twitched. He was looking forward to it. "Go down. You just need to keep an eye on this matter."

"Yes."

Yu Longzi looked at the map of the capital. He pointed at General Ming's military camp and the corner of his mouth slowly curled up.

General Ming handled the riot privately. Tonight, the news would reach the ears of every official. Tomorrow morning, there would be two kinds of reports.

The next day.

The people led by Mu Po suggested that General Ming privately ordered troops to suppress the riot. They did not catch a few people. Even if they caught them, they would still be dead bodies without any value. Instead, it caused more than a hundred deaths and injuries in the village. Although they had done a good deed, their contributions were not enough to offset the crime. They should be blamed for it.

With the Cabinet's deputy in the lead, they advocated that General Ming had done a good deed. As the saying went, the military orders would not be accepted in the outside world. Furthermore, more than half of the villagers had survived because of their rescue, and those rioters were just mountain bandits. General Ming's decision was right.

Yu Longchen also felt that General Ming's decision was right, but he was now the Emperor. If he looked at it simply and saw if it was right or wrong, then anyone could be the Emperor.

Mu Po said again, "The riot in the village actually happened two days ago. It only took more than two hours from the military camp to the palace. Why didn't General Ming send someone to deliver the military report and wait for the Emperor to make a decision? Furthermore, General Ming was directly under the direct command of the Imperial Palace. Where did the general come from to not receive military orders from outside? If he did not blame General Ming this time, in the future, if another barracks outside the Imperial Capital imitated him, if I may ask the Lord Prime Minister, you can guarantee the stability of the palace city. Is the safety of the Emperor?"

"The Lord Prime Minister must be worrying unfounded!! General Ming is loyal to the Emperor and ordering to suppress the rebellion is also for the sake of the people. If he is a step late, the death of people might not be limited to this." The Prime Minister rebutted.

Yu Longchen's eyes turned and looked at Yu Longzi who did not say a word below." What do you think, King Yi? "

"Reporting to the Emperor." Yu Longzi was asked and stood out with a respectful expression. “ This official thought that General Ming had done a great deed for the Protector for many years, but this incident... The most important thing was that General Ming had secretly given the military order, and it was his fault. This official thought that there should be rewards and punishments."

Yu Longchen also thought the same. He did not continue to ask Yu Longzi what he thought. He raised his hand slightly and said, "My dear minister, you have done a meritorious deed, and you have been promoted to a higher grade. It is also tiring for him to manage the military camp alone. He will be promoted to a general and will be in charge of the military camp with your beloved minister Ming. What do you think?"

Yu Longchen asking this meant that he had already made his decision. No matter what the ministers below had, they could not say anything. They could only say one sentence, "The Emperor is wise."

The matter was settled just like that. This was also the best solution.

The deputy that Yu Longchen sent was naturally his person. This way, he could also keep an eye on General Ming.

General Ming received the decree. His rank had increased by one, but his power had actually been weakened. This was the so-called promotion and decline.

The generals beside him did not think it through and congratulated him one after another. In the eyes of those generals, a deputy could not compare to a general in the end. It did not have much effect on General Ming.

General Ming was a little unhappy in his heart. He only thought that he had made a meritorious service and was still punished. He was drinking in his own tent.

In the afternoon, someone came to report that General Ming was sleeping soundly and was woken up. He suppressed his breath in his heart. His thick beard moved and he was about to lose his temper.

The person who came said, "Yesterday, an official's servant came to report that something happened to the General's son, Young Master Ming, in that official's house."

"What?" General Ming was a little surprised. His thick and thick eyebrows stood up. The armor on his body thought for a moment because of his movements. He hurriedly said, "Follow me and change into casual clothes. Let's go out for a while."

The general was ready. He only told outsiders that General Ming was resting in the tent and could not be disturbed.

General Ming directly brought the general out of the camp.

The deputy sent by Yu Longchen had many things to adapt to on the first day he came to the camp. This deputy had gone out with Yu Longchen and had military merits. He came here to be the deputy, so there was nothing to choose from the civil servants.

The deputy general was in his own tent, and he had someone send over all the documents in the military camp. Looking closely, he walked around the military camp a few more times.

He did not have the energy to care about General Ming.
