"Zhu Shengfei, don't accuse the officials and courtiers in the court. In any case, it is a serious crime for you to have an affair with Her Royal Highness the Princess. Not only have you betrayed the court, you have also tried to sow discord and undermine the unity of the court. I beg your majesty to punish Zhu Shengfei. Kill him as a warning to others!" Zhao Gou's face was ashen at this time. Zhu Shengfei was the first person who dared to accuse him in the court. He stared at Zhu Shengfei with wide eyes, as if he was considering whether to follow Qin Hui's suggestion. Zhu Shengfei, on the other hand, looked at him without fear, with a firm light shining in his eyes. He knew that he might not escape death today, but he still had to stick to his beliefs and position. At this moment, a eunuch hurried into the court, holding a secret letter in his hand. He walked to Zhao Gou and whispered a few words in a low voice. After Zhao Gou heard this, his expression suddenly changed and his brows furrowed. He waved his hand to signal the eunuch to leave, and then remained silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something. When Qin Hui saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He had no idea what was going on or how it would affect the situation. He could only wait quietly and observe Zhao Gou's reaction. Finally, Zhao Gou spoke. His tone was a little solemn, as if he had made some important decision: "Zhu Shengfei, although what you just said is against the court's laws, you are dedicated to the people and loyal to the Song Dynasty. I will not kill you easily. .” Hearing this, Zhu Shengfei was shocked. This was something he never expected. He was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is wise! I thank you for not killing me!" Zhao Gou waved his hand, motioning for him to stand up: "However, after all, you have made a mistake and need to be punished. I have decided to demote you to a commoner and send you to the frontier." After hearing this, Zhu Shengfei felt a little disappointed, but he knew that this was the best result. He kowtowed again: "I accept the decree and thank you!" At this time, a stone in Qin Hui's heart finally fell to the ground. He was secretly glad that his plan had not succeeded, and at the same time he couldn't help but be a little surprised by Zhao Gou's decision. However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and prepared to deal with the next situation.
After Zhu Shengfei was taken out of the court, Zhao Gou announced his withdrawal from the court. The courtiers left one after another, leaving Qin Hui standing there alone, secretly thinking about his next plan. At this time, outside the court, Zhu Shengfei stood at the door of the empty hall, looking up at the gray sky, and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. "Master Zhu, what's wrong with you?" A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. Zhu Shengfei turned around and saw that it was Wang. He smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, I just feel a little tired." Wang looked at him with a trace of worry in her eyes: "Don't be too sad. Although you were demoted to a commoner, you still saved your life. As long as you are willing, we can still make a comeback." Zhu Shengfei sighed: "I understand everything you said, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. This matter seems to be my personal matter, but in fact it is related to the safety of the entire imperial court." Wang was silent after hearing this. She knew what Zhu Shengfei said was right. Although the matter has calmed down temporarily this time, Qin Hui and others will never give up. They will definitely continue to look for opportunities to suppress Zhu Shengfei and other loyal people. Zhu Shengfei looked at Mr. Wang and couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. He knew that in this world, Wang was the only person who was truly kind to him. No matter what situation she is in, she is willing to be by her side and share everything for herself. So, he held Wang's hand tightly: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get through this difficulty. As long as we unite as one and work together, we will be able to defeat those evil villains." After Zhao Yingluo learned that Zhu Shengfei had resigned from his official position, she secretly sneered at Zhao Gou for not recognizing loyal ministers. Since the court was so messy, there was no need for her to worry about the existence of the court. The people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang initially thought that the disaster relief grain was the government's concern for the people, but after opening the rice bags, they realized that the wheat belonged to Her Royal Highness the Princess, but had been requisitioned by the court for disaster relief. Although Zhao Gou, Qin Hui and others had the upper hand in the court, their actions had aroused dissatisfaction among more and more people. Although loyal people suffered temporary setbacks, their faith and determination did not change. In this turbulent era, everyone is fighting for their beliefs and positions. Although Zhu Shengfei was demoted to a commoner, he did not give up. He knew that this was his responsibility and mission, and he had to fight for this country and these people. Together with Wang, he quietly accumulated strength and prepared to face future challenges. As for Zhao Yingluo, she did not stop her pace. In her own way, she continues to work hard for this country and these people. She knows that only by becoming stronger can she better protect herself and those around her. In this turbulent era, everyone is fighting for their beliefs and positions. Whether it is Zhu Shengfei, Wang or Zhao Yingluo, they are the epitome of this era, and their stories will continue to spread on this earth. Zhu Shengfei was demoted to a commoner and left the court, but he did not give up his beliefs and positions. Together with the Wang family, he began to accumulate strength among the people to prepare for future challenges. They know that only through their own efforts can this country become a better place. At the same time, Zhao Yingluo did not stop her pace. She began to secretly unite with other loyal people to prepare to fight against those evil villains. She knows very well that only by uniting as one and working together can we defeat the forces that hinder the development of the country and its people. In this turbulent era, everyone is fighting for their beliefs and positions. Whether it is Zhu Shengfei, Wang or Zhao Yingluo, they are the epitome of this era, and their stories will continue to spread on this earth. At this moment, the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions were abuzz with the issue of food relief. The people complained and accused the court of not caring about the lives and lives of the people and only caring about pleasing the princess. Those scholars who originally supported the imperial court began to lose confidence in the imperial court and turned to the camp of Zhu Shengfei and Zhao Yingluo. Although Zhu Shengfei was demoted to a commoner, he did not leave Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Together with the Wang family, he actively ran among the people, calling on the people to unite and fight against those evil villains. Their actions have gained support from more and more people, and the hearts of the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have gradually begun to lean towards their side.
And Zhao Yingluo did not stop her pace. She began to unite with other loyal people and prepare to launch a coup at the right time to overthrow the rule of Qin Hui and others. She knows that only through her own efforts can this country become a better place. In this turbulent era, everyone is fighting for their beliefs and positions. Whether it is Zhu Shengfei, Wang or Zhao Yingluo, they are the epitome of this era, and their stories will continue to spread on this earth.
