Chapter 236: Clever Words
Old Marshal Qiu shouted: "Tie Zheng! Speak carefully! Such a serious crime, such a serious general, you just say, where is the evidence?"
While scolding, he was anxious to make his eyes.
Tie Zheng gasped, and his green muscles flared up, but he finally calmed down, just gritted his teeth, looked at Yang Botao fiercely, and as long as he had the opportunity, he would go up and bite him!
"Your Majesty...... Lao Chen...... It's late......" There was a panting sound at the door of the main hall, and an old man with gray hair and beard, leaning over, coughing, was helped in by someone.
It was the military captain of the Jade Tang Empire, Fang Qingtian.
However, this Yutang Optimus Pillar for so many years is now dying and old, and he needs someone to support him even when he walks. On his face, which was covered with age spots, there were also scars all over the place.
It is an eternal memorial left by the battle array, highlighting the glory of the old general's battle array.
And the one who helped the old lady Fang Qingtian Fang came in was the old lady's deputy, and he was also his proud disciple, who is now supervising the military department and has the power to report to the country!
"Fetch a chair!" ordered His Majesty the Emperor.
Until Fang Qingtian sat down, he was still panting, very uneasy, and said, "Old minister...... I was ashamed that I could not salute, but I was given a seat by Your Majesty; ”
His Majesty the Emperor said movingly: "Today's matter is really important, I have no choice but to bother the old lady to come to the meeting, I should be uneasy in my heart, Lao Aiqing must not blame himself." ”
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, why are you summoning your ministers here today?" Fang Qingtian asked.
His Majesty the Emperor sighed heavily.
The ministers knew that this moment was the real arrival of today's event, and they were all holding their breath and paying attention to the follow-up developments.
Only Tie Zheng glared at Yang Botao fiercely as if he was looking at an enemy who did not share the sky.
Yang Botao dared to look at each other at first, but later he turned his head away.
"Hey, it's been a while...... There are really too many things happening, especially the matter of the Nine Venerables Zhongfu, which can be said to be the death of the national fortune of my Jade Tang Kingdom......" As soon as His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth, it was an extremely heavy topic.
Yang Botao's face changed, and the look in his eyes showed a slight sense of panic.
He obviously didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to find out about this matter so directly, which was a big surprise!
"Previously...... With so much going on, I thought that the purge was almost over, but now it seems that I was too optimistic, and now it is even more complicated......"
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Yang Botao: "Last night, Yang Botao, the commander of my Jade Tang Northern Army, was assassinated, and the assassin made it clear in public that he was avenging Jiuzun, and this matter is not trivial......
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent together, and they were as quiet as death.
The old lady's wrinkled face, his eyes, which had already been covered by wrinkles, slowly raised and glanced at Yang Botao.
This glance seemed to be plain, as if it was intentional or unintentional, but Yang Botao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The old people's ambition is still there, and the majesty is not diminished!
"Yang Botao, explain. ”
Old Lady Fang Qingtian said lightly, his eyes slowly closing. The whole person was like a rotten piece of wood, and it seemed that he was not at all angry.
But those who are familiar with him know that the old lady has used his life skills at this time, and his heart is exquisite.
This unique skill of the old lady. The miracle of this secret method lies in the ability to hear the slightest mood fluctuations in the heart of the person who speaks; in other words, any lie and falsehood will be completely hidden and revealed before the old lady's heavenly heart is exquisite.
Yang Botao stood up, still full of blood on his face, and hissed with grief and indignation: "Last night, I was assassinated by assassins in the mansion......; When the minister went to court today, the first priority was to want His Majesty the Emperor to uphold justice for the minister, and to get rid ......of this stigma!
Yang Botao said miserably: "As soon as I came to the court before, I was beaten indiscriminately by Generalissimo Tie Zheng; several colleagues called persuasion, but in fact, they took the opportunity to pull and restrain my Yang Botao's hands and feet, and let that Tie Zheng beat and abuse ......."
"When the old lady arrived, His Majesty the Emperor started the discussion, and the first thing was to ask me Yang Botao to defend himself!"
"I was first assassinated, then beaten, then isolated, and now I have to defend myself!"
"I, Yang Botao, have joined the army since I was a teenager, and I have been in front of all battles; after more than 700 fierce battles, large and small, I have accumulated merit to this position; Your Majesty's grace is vast, and Yang Botao has been worried all night, lest I will not be able to repay Long En'......"
"On the battlefield in the north, I, Yang Botao, fought day and night, life and death were only idle, although I did not make contributions to the country, I could not expand the territory, but in the face of the enemy's tide of troops, I also ensured that the land did not lose ......."
"Today, I am scarred and physically and mentally exhausted. ”
Yang Botao choked up, tears in his eyes: "In the past, I have no trouble saying more about some merits, but since today, Your Majesty and the old lady, all my colleagues, and civil and military officials all think that I am guilty, and think that the assassin's words are true, and it is indeed I, Yang Botao, who murdered the Nine Lords......"
"At this moment, in this situation, how can I, Yang Botao, defend myself? However, I am enthusiastic and loyal, and I have never been ashamed of my heart, and I cannot make such a slander without refuting it, and I Yang Botao I cannot suffer this humiliation in vain!"
"Since he is not allowed to be in the world, he can only die to prove his innocence! I hope that there will be a day when black and white will be clear in his dynasty!"
Yang Botao's expression was awe-inspiring, and he seemed to be so sad and indignant that he suddenly roared and rushed to the front of the palace gate; with a bang, he had already snatched the long sword of the guard on duty in his hand, and the next moment, he slashed at his neck without hesitation.
"Yang Botao will serve His Majesty again in the next life!"
With a snap, the long sword was already up to his neck.
The figure flickered.
Fu Baoguo, who was beside the old lady, flashed like a ghost, grabbed the blade of the sword, and paused the blade of the sword.
However, Yang Botao's neck was already bleeding.
A deep bloody wound appeared on the neck, and if it went deeper than half an inch, it would be a life, and there would be no way to return to the sky.
With such an injury, it is not difficult to see how heavy Yang Botao killed himself with a sword just now!
Although Fu Baoguo grabbed the blade of the sword to stop Yang Botao's self-killing, his right hand was already dripping with blood, and he shouted angrily: "Now everything is unclear, just let you defend yourself, you will seek death and life! Yang Botao, you are so disappointed in me!"
With the continued exertion of his right hand, Shengsheng snatched the long sword back, swished, and threw it out.
The long sword "Qiang" was inserted into the ground outside the temple gate, swaying endlessly, the blade of the sword was cold, and the blood on the sword body slowly flowed down.
The ministers looked at the swaying swords at the entrance of the hall, and everyone was silent.
Yang Botao's face was full of grief and indignation, and he suddenly cried and cried, tears like a spring: "Bear such humiliation, what face do I Yang Botao have to steal the world, it is better to die and be clean!"
Fu Baoguo sighed, turned to look at the direction of the dragon chair and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, there may still be something strange about this matter...... It is still necessary to deal with it cautiously; even if Yang Botao is really guilty, he still needs a fair trial to correct the situation. How is it contrary to the law to be persecuted in such a temple...... Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
While Yang Botao's blood flowed like an infusion, Fu Baoguo cried blood and pleaded.
His Majesty the Emperor was also moved, but did not say a word.
The old lady Fang Qingtian was still sitting calmly, and he didn't even move his eyelids.
Qiu Jianhan and Leng Dao Yin stared at Yang Botao with eyes like knives, their eyes were cold, and they were completely different from before.
Tie Zheng snorted and muttered, "Pretending, disgusting!"
After a while, His Majesty the Emperor frowned, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to the battle of the Nine Emperors, and it has nothing to do with it, especially compared to the crime of treason. Taiwei is in the center to coordinate and preside, and the case must be investigated clearly, do not indulge in vain, do not make Yingling Jiuquan hateful, black and white are rare to distinguish!"
The sudden infighting in the military, the ministers did not react to what was going on, and the civil officials were very rare and abnormal and did not speak much.
After all, for them, the infighting among the military generals is a self-chaos and cannibalism, no matter who ends up falling or even defeating, Yu Wenchen's side is happy to see it.
"This matter is settled, and all the Qing families are scattered. The two marshals, Taiwei and Qiu Leng, stayed behind to talk to me. ”
......
Scattered backwards.
Tie Zheng snorted coldly, and took the lead in striding away without hesitation, muttering angrily as he walked: "Disgusting! garbage! It's quite similar, why don't you just cut off your heart pulse if you really want to die? Why don't you just break the heavenly spirit? I just want to rush to the gate of the temple to grab the sword, and after robbing it, I have to come back and commit suicide...... Phew! What's the ...... Is it true that everyone else is blind?"
The other two burly generals strode up to Tie Zheng: "Old Tie, it seems that you know this matter, can you tell us about it?"
"I'm in a hurry!"
Tie Zheng said angrily: "Are you two blind or deaf, can't you see what's going on? Can't you understand? If you are really blind and deaf, even if Lao Tzu tells you, can you hear it? Lao Tzu has no time to deal with you two fools!"
The two generals said angrily: "Tie Zheng, we haven't offended you, what are you angry at us? We just want to know the truth, you can say it if you want to, if you don't want to say it, pull it down, one Lao Tzu in one bite, pig's nose sticks green onions, what kind of elephant are you pretending!"
Tie Zhengquan didn't hear it, and continued to walk in a hurry, he had long legs, walked two steps, and the two generals behind him were unwilling, and walked three steps and two steps to catch up with him, and asked him repeatedly; only then did he hear Tie Zheng say angrily: "What else can I say, the matter of the Nine Lords in the ambush is the pain of the heart of the Yutang Cone, but with the vast supernatural powers of the Nine Lords, if it is not an accidental ambush, and even a traitor betrayal, how can they all be in trouble; Your Majesty is clearly an old fool, there is no distinction between right and wrong, and what do you say is black and white, justice is in the hearts of the people, and interrogation is redundant, which will only chill the hearts of the heroes......"
Before he finished speaking, he was covered by another general beside him: "You bastard, don't you really want to live...... If he doesn't want to live, don't say it to us......"
