Chapter 214: The Prime Minister Helps Each Other

General Lei was a little surprised, Prime Minister Ji Jin had never had any contact with their general's mansion, why did he suddenly go to the army to find himself today?

Old General Wei Yuan glanced at him, "Business matters. ”

General Lei glanced worriedly at the old woman on the couch, then withdrew with the champa in his hand.

Several lieutenant generals were waiting in the study, and when they saw General Lei coming in, they all clasped their fists and saluted, "General." ”

"Well, what did the prime minister ask today?"

"The Prime Minister asked us, who was the county official of Kancheng before? And the number of conscripts. ”

Kancheng? General Lei remembered that it was the place that General Weiyuan was in charge of before, but since his father returned from the border city, the affairs there were handed over to the local adjutant general.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, I also asked us how often the old general will go to the army to inspect the army."

General Lei was immediately a little nervous, "What do you say?" ”

Because General Weiyuan is old, although he has military power, he rarely goes to the army to inspect the army, but leaves most of the affairs to General Lei. And General Lei was very proud of himself, and felt that the army he had trained was the strongest in combat effectiveness and self-discipline in the entire Chen Kingdom, so he rarely went to the various military camps to inspect.

"The last general naturally said that the old general would come to the army to inspect every month, sometimes twice a month."

They didn't dare to exaggerate, after all, the army under the jurisdiction of General Weiyuan was all over the Chen Kingdom, and the only trouble was that it was not very concentrated, so if he often left Beijing to inspect, the prime minister would not believe it.

"Well, you guys answered well."

As long as Ji Jin knows that their general's mansion did not take the court's fortune for nothing.

However, this time he reminded him that there were many incidents in the General's Mansion during this time, and he should find a way to overcome the merits, so he should train the soldiers in his hands well and let the emperor know the contribution of the General Weiyuan Mansion to the Chen Kingdom.

However, the next day.

Above the court, the young prime minister gave General Lei a straight eye for the first time. It's just this look that makes General Lei feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"Enlighten the emperor, the ministers have important things to play."

Emperor Chen's body was still in the process of conditioning, so the ministers tacitly postponed it if it was not an important matter.

"Oh? Ji Aiqing played on time. ”

"Your Majesty, before Weichen went to the Kancheng area, he found that the number of conscripts did not match the report, and the minister recently found the official in charge here."

Kancheng? Something seemed to flash through General Lei's mind.

Emperor Chen's face gradually became stern, "Who is in charge?" ”

"Your Majesty, the soldiers in the Kancheng area have always been in charge of the old General Weiyuan."

As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar.

Because Ji Jin was ordered by Emperor Chen to go to Kancheng for this matter, no one in the court knew about it, and now when he took it out and said it in the court, everyone felt that this matter was important, and the number of conscripts did not match the report? Doesn't this mean that some people deceive the upper and lower, and the stricter is where that part of the deviation goes.

Everyone's eyes immediately shot to the tall old general, General Weiyuan's momentum changed, and he couldn't help others to slander the official business he was responsible for.

"What do you mean, Prime Minister?"

"Could it be that General Weiyuan denies that Kancheng is in charge of the general?"

Old General Wei Yuan frowned, "Yes, General Ben was in charge before, but General Ben hasn't asked about local political affairs there for a long time, and the local county officials don't know how many people have changed." ”

"But the subordinate has asked the lieutenant general under the general, they said that the old general cares about Chenguo, and he will go to various local military camps to inspect every month, but now the old general said that he has not asked about the political affairs of Kancheng for a long time, so I don't know if a few lieutenants have deceived the subordinate general, or the old general, you shirk your responsibility?"

General Lei was shocked in his heart, he didn't know that the number of conscripts in Kancheng was wrong, it turned out that the prime minister went to the army to find himself for this matter, and the answers of those lieutenant generals made his father unreasonable!

There is such a thing! General Weiyuan immediately looked at General Lei, when he asked him yesterday, he also said that it was just a routine, and such an important matter was not explained to himself!

Emperor Chen's sharp gaze shot at General Weiyuan's face, "General, what do you have to say?" ”

The old general Wei Yuan deeply felt the emperor's dissatisfaction with him, but now, if he denied those lieutenant generals, wouldn't the emperor know that he had not taken care of the affairs of the army for a long time! Then the emperor will feel that what is the use of keeping himself!

"Pass those lieutenants to the palace!" Emperor Chen's voice struck into everyone's minds, and everyone immediately sensed that something serious seemed to be about to happen.

Soon, the lieutenants hurried up to the hall.

"The last general will see the emperor."

"No courtesy, has the prime minister approached any of you before?" Emperor Chen got straight to the point, and directly made those lieutenants a little unable to react.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has indeed been in the army."

"So, can the old general Weiyuan have a monthly routine inspection of the local army?"

Several lieutenants lowered their heads, not seeing General Lei's eyes at all.

"Your Majesty, the old general is loyal to his duties, and he will come to the army to inspect every month, sometimes twice a month!"

The more you say this, the more redundant it is! General Lei pursed his lips, he was really cocooned!

There was an uproar in the court, so to speak, the old general Weiyuan was lying? Could it really be that this matter has anything to do with him......

Several lieutenant generals noticed the change in the atmosphere, and raised their heads in confusion for the moment, and before they could figure out the situation, Emperor Chen had already waved his hand to signal them to retreat.

"The last will be retired."

"You ......" The old general Wei Yuan took a step forward, wanting to stop them, but Emperor Chen's sharp eyes were closely watching his movements, and if he despised the court, he would immediately send someone to take him down.

The ministers were accustomed to seeing the arrogant expression of the old general Wei Yuan, and now his appearance of suffering made the ministers laugh in their hearts.

"Emperor Qiqi, Wechen has found the missing part of the soldiers, it turns out that they were taken into a canyon for training, and Wechen also learned that they were deceived and thought that they were serving the Chen Kingdom, but according to Wechen's investigation, this matter is related to other countries!"

Ji Jin didn't say which country it was, but when everyone heard it, they thought of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country! And Kancheng is located on the border of Yi and Chen, and if the prime minister doesn't say it, how can everyone not understand it in their hearts.

Why did Yi hide the soldiers of Chen in the territory of Chen Kingdom? When you think about it, it's outrageous!

"Prime Minister don't want to spew blood!" The old general Weiyuan couldn't tolerate others wantonly placing the charge of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country on him, and subconsciously held the long sword at his waist.

"Father!" General Lei was shocked, in fact, he knew that this was his father's habitual action.

But in the eyes of others, the old general Weiyuan has already moved the mind of killing people and destroying his mouth, and this is the court!

"Presumptuous! General Weiyuan, you have disappointed me so much! Emperor Chen slapped his hand on the dragon chair.

General Weiyuan immediately realized that he was out of shape, and quickly put away his movements and knelt down on one knee, "The emperor is angry, and the minister is in a hurry, but please believe that the emperor is loyal to the Chen country, remember the emperor's entrustment, and will never do anything to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country!" ”

He moved out of the former emperor, which made Emperor Chen's heart more and more unhappy.

Over the years, it was because of the will of the former emperor that he turned a blind eye to the various domineering behaviors of the Weiyuan General's Mansion, but this did not make them settle down, but turned into aiding and abetting. However, the old general Weiyuan holds the military power in his hands, and there is General Lei below, so he has no good reason to take back the military power.

This time, the queen told herself that perhaps this would be the best time to uproot the power of the General's Mansion, so Emperor Chen would allow Ji Jin to make the task he secretly arranged for him public in the court, in order to make General Weiyuan sit on the charge of negligence.

It's just that he didn't expect that the prime minister was so smart that he privately searched for those lieutenant generals, and suddenly forced the old general Weiyuan into a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, the old general Weiyuan has made a lot of contributions to the Chen country, there is no merit and hard work, I think that the old general will never do anything to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and please ask the emperor to learn clearly!"

This matter stood up to several ministers who usually looked at General Weiyuan's mansion, and Emperor Chen had long expected that once he showed that he wanted to deal with General Weiyuan, someone would definitely speak out to stop him.

"I don't want to believe it, in that case, is General Weiyuan willing to prove his loyalty?"

As soon as Emperor Chen's words came out, General Weiyuan raised his head, "The minister is willing!" ”

"Then, come here, immediately go to the General's Mansion to search, you are not allowed to let go of a single grass or tree, if you can't find anything, it will prove that the matter of Kancheng has nothing to do with General Weiyuan!"

What, Soufu?! General Weiyuan was taken aback, this was simply an insult to him, and it was the emperor's distrust of him, but he had no reason to regret his words, even if he endured this breath, he had to block Youyou's mouth! He will definitely get this account back in the future!

Thinking of this, the sharp gaze of the old general Weiyuan shot at the young prime minister on the side, as if he had calculated this account on Ji Jin's head.

However, the handsome prime minister smiled faintly and calmly accepted his unkind gaze, because he knew that after today, the general's mansion would no longer exist.

It is also thanks to the fact that the county lord of Yongji can think of such a method, so that General Weiyuan has to accept the search.

On the streets, a group of soldiers surrounded the general's palace menacingly.

"Oh no, old lady, there are a large number of Imperial Forest Army outside to surround the General's Mansion!" The old housekeeper stumbled into the old lady Weiyuan's house.

The old lady's body had not yet recovered, and she struggled with the severe pain in her body at the moment, "What did you say?" ”

However, screams and smashing were immediately heard outside, and the family was driven to a separate courtyard.

"Quick, help me out and have a look!" What happened, and why did the Guards break into the house?

The old lady walked out of her house weakly, and saw a group of royal guards entering the courtyards, and soon, they forced their way into their courtyards, "Search! Don't let go of any of them. ”

"Presumptuous! Do you know what kind of place this is, and how can you be allowed to come here? ”

The old lady's hoarse voice shouted, however, the commander of the Royal Forest Army only glanced at her coldly, "On the orders of the emperor, search the General's Mansion, no one is allowed to resist, otherwise, there will be no mercy!" ”

The old lady's eyes widened instantly, the emperor's order? This is......

"Where's the old general?" She immediately looked at the butler who was already too frightened to speak.

"Old lady, the two generals haven't gone down to the morning court yet."

The old lady looked at the group of expressionless Imperial Forest Army in front of her, and a strong uneasiness surged into her heart, what happened to the early dynasty?
