He Linwan did not help Li Yu exonerate, but complimented him according to his words: "There are only a few men in this world who are like my father and have responsibility and courage. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Yu can have a face to use, which is already considered a favor from God. ”

He Guanglie's face really looked a lot better when he heard this.

He Linwan couldn't help but laugh secretly when she saw He Guanglie like this, but she also knew that no matter how He Guanglie looked at Li Yu in private, he didn't do half a point less than what he should do.

Because the five princes had already put down their words, Chen Hong did not come to trouble He Guanglie again, probably planning to wait for the emperor's will to come down before formally arresting He Guanglie.

And after the fifth prince went back, there was a big fire, and the person who made him angry was none other than Xue Xingyi.

The fifth prince hurriedly recruited Xue Xingyi into the mansion, and as soon as he saw him, he was furious, "You beheaded Huo Lian? You killed Huo Lian without even asking! Xue Xingyi! Who gave you the guts!"

The fifth prince was taken aback when he heard Xue Xingyi's order to behead Huo Lian, and hurriedly sent someone to the camp to stop the execution, but unfortunately he was still one step late, and when the people he sent arrived, Huo Lian's body was cold.

Xue Xingyi finished saluting the five princes without changing his face, got up and said, "Your Highness, Huo Lian drank alcohol while he was on duty, which caused him to delay the military plane! ”

When the fifth prince heard this, he was so angry that he picked up a book on the bookcase and threw it at Xue Xingyi, he was really angry, otherwise he wouldn't have had such a disregard for his demeanor.

"It's just a midnight exercise! What kind of military plane was delayed! Do you know how much money and painstaking effort I spent in order to win over these veteran generals? In the past few years, I have been able to steadily control the Jimo battalion, and even more so with the assistance of Huo Lian and others! Now that Huo Lian has only made such a small mistake, you actually beheaded him? How will you let me face the other generals in the battalion in the future!"

Xue Xingyi tilted his head slightly, accurately dodging the oncoming book, which fell to the ground grazing his sideburns.

"Your Highness, the military order is like a mountain. Huo Lian's drunken accident is an ironclad fact, and he must be held accountable regardless of whether it has caused serious consequences. This time he delayed a drill, who knows if the next time will delay the military aircraft?"

The fifth prince looked at Xue Xingyi, whose tone was calm and unwavering, and his hands trembled a little with anger, "You ......"

Xue Xingyi bent down to pick up the book that fell on the ground, put it back on the bookcase, and said calmly: "What's more, the minister killed Huo Lian to make an example of chickens and monkeys. ”

The fifth prince sneered: "What kind of chicken to kill, what kind of monkey to respect? I thought you wanted this palace to get off the horse!"

First Chen Hong, and now Xue Xingyi, the people sent by the emperor all opposed him one by one, the five princes were furious in their hearts, knowing that Xue Xingyi wanted to explain what he meant, he still couldn't help but stab him.

Xue Xingyi didn't care about the attitude of the five princes, bowed his head and arched his hand: "The minister doesn't dare! The minister just discovered one thing when he was ordered by His Royal Highness to rectify the Jimo camp this time, that is, no matter what order is given, it will be difficult to move an inch in the Jimo camp." I wonder if His Highness has encountered such a situation in the past few years?"

The fifth prince said coldly: "I haven't encountered such a situation! Any orders I have are directly issued to Huo Lian and other generals, and they have always been forbidden, and Huo Lian and others have never violated them!"

Xue Xingyi looked up at the five princes: "Then does Your Highness think that the Jimo Camp is under the orders of Huo Lian and the others or with the orders of His Highness?"

The fifth prince disagreed: "What's the difference? Huo Lian, they just listen to me!"

Xue Xingyi shook his head: "Your Highness, was Huo Lian so obedient when you first came to Donglin?"

The fifth prince lost his temper, and his anger also dropped a little, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

Xue Xingyi said in his usual calm tone: "As far as I know, when His Highness first came to the East, Huo Lian and the others despised His Highness because of His Highness's age, and it was not until His Highness began to reward Huo Lian and others from time to time that they began to look at His Highness. ”

The fifth prince said: "They love money, I will give it to him, as long as they are obedient and obedient, what's wrong with this?"

Xue Xingyi smiled when he heard this.

Seeing that Xue Xingyi, who had never been smiling, actually laughed, the fifth prince felt that he was being ridiculed, and said angrily: "Xue Xingyi, what are you laughing at!"

Xue Xingyi shook his head: "Your Highness, this is not inappropriate, this is a big inappropriateness. Since the loyalty of Huo Lian and the others can be bought with money, then whose money is not money? You can use silver to make them loyal to you, can't the Sixth Highness?"

The fifth prince couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this.

Xue Xingyi continued: "The Wendeng camp has fallen into the hands of Li Yu, and the six princes' hard work for several years has been ruined, he will not be willing to go east to the three camps, he can't take one battalion, and he will definitely pay attention to other things next." Looking at the three major camps, the Jimo Battalion will be the most convenient target for the Sixth Highness, because the Jimo Battalion nominally belongs to His Majesty, and you and the Sixth Highness are both the sons of His Majesty. And when the time comes, you will have to promise them more benefits in order to compete with the Six Highnesses for these generals. But Huo Lian has been nourished by His Highness in the past few years, how much more can you take out of your private treasury to fill their greedy ambitions?"

The fifth prince calmed down completely, and I have to say that what Xue Xingyi said was very reasonable, although he always felt that the problems that could be solved with silver money were not problems, which was also the reason why he would ask He Guanglie to help him open the trade route from the capital to Yezhou. But the last time the goods were robbed, his private warehouse has bottomed out, and that batch of goods is likely to be taken away by the sixth person, if he wants to fight for money now, he may not be able to rob the sixth person.

"Your Highness, now is the best time to get rid of Huo Lian and the others and completely control the Jimo Camp. Xue Xingyi's last unhurried words completely hit the heart of the fifth prince.

"Completely control the Jimo Camp, how to completely control the law?" the fifth prince looked at Xue Xingyi.

Xue Xingyi lowered his eyes and said: "At the beginning, you raised this group of adult hunting dogs to let the hunting dogs help you herd sheep, but now the appetite of the hunting dogs is getting bigger and bigger, and it looks like it is about to be out of control, so after killing it, re-cultivate new hunting dogs, only the hunting dogs raised from childhood to adulthood will really obey you completely." ”

When the fifth prince heard this, his eyes shone brightly.

"Things have not been going well recently, the main hall has been really angry just now, didn't it hurt Zixu?" the five princes said softly, with a little self-blame.

Xue Xingyi bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness, for remembering, the minister has nothing to do." (To be continued.) )
