General Sima cupped his hands in response, his voice carrying a touch of bitterness: "Grand Empress Dowager, this humble general almost became the father-in-law of a rebel. At this moment, I truly have no right to speak out."
Among the military generals, General Sima's rank was relatively junior, and his promotion to a commander was indeed due to the nurturing by Emperor Taihe.
Last year, the Heir of Prince Gaoliang, Jiang Yi, proposed to General Sima's daughter. General Sima gladly accepted the marriage proposal.
Who would have thought that Jiang Yi harbored treachery, raised troops to force the palace and rebel, and was executed on the spot by Jiang Shaohua. Fortunately, there were still a few months before the wedding, and his daughter had not yet married into the Gao Liang Prince Mansion. Otherwise, she would also be awaiting execution now.
