"You have already listened to the rush of the right general, you can tell me, how should this matter be handled?"

The emperor's words seemed to be calm, but all the officials present knew that Emperor Jianheng was not inquiring, but that the "elders" in Cining Palace were in the way, and he wanted to borrow their mouths to bring up the Guo family in a bright and bright manner.

The hundred officials were silent slightly, no one dared to be the first bird, they all quietly lowered their heads, and cautiously glanced at the people around them, just when Emperor Jianheng's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a little impatience, a person came out of the position of the head of the hundred officials.

"The minister thought that although General Guo had great military achievements, he embezzled military salaries and abused the right to kill, and now caused a mutiny in front of the army, which really damaged the majesty of the court and chilled the hearts of the soldiers. ”

Yan Weizhang said these words sonorously and forcefully in front of the hundred officials, and then knelt down in a righteous and awe-inspiring robe, stretched his hands in front of him, put down the court wat respectfully and solemnly, bowed deeply and said: "The minister has the courage to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to escort the general back to Beijing and send him to the three law divisions for trial, if he is guilty, he should be dealt with according to my Daxing law, if he is not guilty, he should find out the cause of the matter and return him to justice!"

Seeing that Yan Weizhang, the first assistant, had come out of this, he handed the knife to Emperor Jianheng, and immediately knelt down with his robes, as if he was asking for his life for the people, and echoed extremely righteously: "Please give your majesty an order." ”

The voice of the hundred officials' request resounded almost throughout the hall, Emperor Jianheng sat on it, looking at the courtiers who were kneeling, and there seemed to be lingering in his ears, at this moment Emperor Jianheng knew that the opportunity had come.

The corners of Emperor Jianheng's lips were slightly hooked, and then his face became complex and elusive, as if he was angry and sighed, until the hundred officials couldn't wait, and quietly glanced at it, and Emperor Jianheng finally sank down, quite a little hateful.

"General Guo was originally the pillar of our army, and over the years, he has defended Liaodong for me, and has repelled the Tatars several times, which is really indispensable——"

Speaking of this, Emperor Jianheng paused slightly, and the next moment's tone was full of majesty.

"But if the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and no amount of credit will be enough to offset the crime he has committed now, if you are so determined, how can I not understand the severity?"

When everyone heard this, they all bowed their heads respectfully and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

"Spread my will!"

Emperor Jianheng's gaze swept majestically towards everyone, and finally fell on Guo Shenyi's body and said calmly: "Send Jinyi Wei to Guo Shenzong's mansion to search for embezzlement of military salaries, check relevant people, etc., and send another person to Liaodong to escort Guo Shenzong into Beijing, reciting his many years of military exploits, you can be exempted from shackles, but if you do not obey the decree, you will be punished for rebellion." ”

"Your Majesty's benevolence—"

When the officials heard this, they all echoed loudly again, Emperor Jianheng seemed to have preferential treatment for Guo Shenzong, but everyone knew that this was all due to his years of credit, once these merits were consumed by these preferential treatments, Guo Shenzong's death was deserved, and no one could complain.

"Marquis Wei, do you think it's fair for me to deal with it like this?"

Hearing Emperor Jianheng's question, Guo Shenyi almost trembled all over her body and wanted to get up, but maybe because of her weak legs, she couldn't stand up, and she looked particularly embarrassed and abrupt in this hall full of courtiers.

"Your Majesty, please forgive your sins—"

Seeing the begging figure under the seat, Emperor Jianheng seemed calm, but his eyes were cold, and then he said unhurriedly: "Come on, send the Marquis of Wei back to the house, without my hand, no one is allowed to enter or leave, let alone visit." ”

As soon as Emperor Jianheng's words came out, everyone almost didn't have to think about it to know that any of them naturally referred to the one in Cining Palace.

When the brocade guards in the hall heard the order, they immediately stepped forward and clenched their fists, and then dragged Guo Shenyi, who was paralyzed and couldn't get up, like lifting a chicken.

"Guo Shenzong returned to Beijing, Liaodong must not be unattended, do you think, who can be the next important task?"

When the hall was silent again, Emperor Jianheng's right elbow was slightly on his leg, his body leaned forward slightly, and he glanced around.

Now in Liaodong, in terms of ability and qualifications, there seems to be no more candidates for this position except for Xiao Kang and Gu Jingming, the king of Huai, but although Gu Jingming of the Gu family is gaining prestige, his qualifications are still shallow, Xiao Kang has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, which is not comparable to Gu Jingming.

Therefore, at this time, the squire of the military department came out solemnly, and replied almost without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the minister dared to think that His Royal Highness King Huai had been fighting everywhere in his early years, and he had quite a lot of military merits, profound qualifications, and great prestige in the army, and he was also wise in the handling of the general's affairs this time, so His Royal Highness King Huai was worthy of this position." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Jianheng didn't seem surprised, but even so, he didn't settle down immediately, but just looked around at the ministers under the seat unhurriedly and said, "What do you think?"

The ministers seconded. ”

Seeing the ministers bowing their heads, Emperor Jianheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of chill swept over indifferently, and then disappeared.

He has military merits, profound qualifications, and great prestige.

These three words almost grabbed Emperor Jianheng's heart, and made many past events surface.

He will not forget that his second son's pride, domineering, and lack of restraint again and again, and under his nose, he privately selected the ladies sent to the palace as concubines, and almost every time he challenged his bottom line.

And now, it seems that there is a Guo Shenzong, and there is another Xiao Kang.

What a good son for him.

In silence, Lai Yunchen slowly retreated, but his eyes were with a trace of imperceptible respect, and he glanced at Xiao Yi, who was listening to politics, and then lowered his head silently.

"Passing on my will, Liaodong cannot be without generals for a day, and Xiao Kang, the king of Huai, temporarily takes over the post of economic strategy. ”

Hearing this will, it was not surprising that the hundred officials were not surprised, after all, the King of Huai and the Emperor were one family, and there was no more suitable position for him than him.

In addition, Gu Jingming, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Gu Zihan, the deputy commander-in-chief, have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and they are very relieved, and Gu Jingming is specially promoted to the right general of the conquest, and Gu Zihan is promoted to the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. ”

Hearing this sudden promotion, all the officials raised their heads slightly stunned, and then looked at Gu Zhengde who was standing beside Yan Weizhang with envy.

It was surprising, but it was not surprising. Although Gu Jingming had never fought in the past, he had always served in the army, and this expedition showed his unusual command talent. Although Gu Zihan joined the army for the first time, he had amazing combat skills, and wherever he led the army, he was invincible and had never suffered defeat.

If others suddenly rise, it may cause people to criticize, but if these two people, they have nothing to say except envy.

……

As the commander in front of the battle, Guo Shenzong still couldn't escape the fate of being escorted back to Beijing, and in the capital, Jinyiwei had already sent troops to surround Guo Shenzong and Guo Shenyi's mansion, which seemed to be inspecting the mansion, but in fact it was just isolating it from the outside world, and he could only sit and wait for death.

While the convoy escorting Guo Shenzong was still on the way, an even more shocking news came from Fengxian County, Tianjin, and this news was like gunpowder being thrown in Beijing, and everyone was in danger. 5610
