Chapter 17: Urgent Departure from Beijing
"The lower official is not convinced!"
Yang Song was shocked and angry, he couldn't believe that Zhao Huan dared to kill him no matter what.
Zhao Huan is a notoriously cowardly and incompetent person in the Great Song Dynasty, and he hardly contradicts his courtiers in ordinary times, and he is frightened far away when he sees Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Gao Yu and others, and even the people under Cai Yang and others dare not offend.
Today, he even shouted to punish him Yang Song's nine clans, and even implicated Yang Jian, how could this be possible?
He was not convinced! Of course he wasn't convinced! He wants to see his uncle Yang Jian!
"Prince! Although the minister's official position is small, but the responsibility is great, and he has not seen the approval of the official, and he has not seen the holy decree, how can the minister casually agree to the unreasonable demands of a group of sergeants? Was it wrong for the minister to follow the orders of Shangguan Taiwei Yang? The prince said that the minister deceived the king, and he had to come up with evidence! ”
"Evidence? Good! This prince has left you dead with nothing to say! ”
Zhao Huan pointed at Yang Song with the Longquan Sword and asked sharply: "According to Song Law, how should the prince's warrant be treated?" ”
The Prince's warrant is second only to the Holy Decree and takes precedence over the Minister's Approval.
Yang Song was stunned, as if he realized something, his momentum dropped rapidly, and he couldn't get angry anymore, but he still refused to give in, and said stiffly: "It is true that the prince's warrant takes precedence over the minister's approval, but whether the prince's warrant is compliant or not, it can only be implemented after the political affairs hall has been discussed, otherwise it is not equivalent to a holy decree?" ”
"You mentioned the Divine Decree, and that's good! Let me ask you again, if there is a holy decree, do you still need to discuss it in the government hall? ”
"This ......," Yang Song snorted, "Of course, there is no need to discuss the holy decree in the political affairs hall, but the lower officials have not seen the holy decree!" ”
Zhao Huan said angrily: "What kind of thing are you, you also want the Holy Decree?" The decree is for me, the prince! This prince wrote clearly in the warrant, he was ordered to levy Liangshan, and he had the right to act cheaply, why didn't you listen? Are you doubting the decree or are you suspecting that the prince is falsely preaching the decree? No matter which one of them is enough to make you all over the house, delaying military affairs is even more of a crime, and the crime of adding to the crime should be punished by the nine clans! Yang Song, is this prince wronged or not wronged by your nine clans? ”
Poof!
Yang Song couldn't support it anymore, his legs were weak and he fell to the ground, grinning and crying: "Prince! His Royal Highness the Prince! The subordinate knows that he is wrong, and the subordinate will do it! ”
"Ahh
Yang Song cried and cried and was suddenly startled, and he didn't dare to move on the spot, and his chin on both sides was just fighting.
Zhao Huan Longquan's sword was unsheathed, and it was already on Yang Song's neck at this moment, and his eyes looked at Yang Song coldly.
"If there is one, there will be two! Who knows if you will be disobedient after Prince Ben leaves? You'd better cut off this head, and I'll have someone cut off your family's head! ”
"Prince! Woo - how can the prince be willing to let his subordinates go? The subordinates are all submissive, and they only ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare this time! ”
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Huan laughed and said, "Bring a pen and paper!" ”
Wu Lan hurriedly went inside to get paper and pens and threw them to Yang Song.
"Write a confession, and when Prince Ben receives the military equipment, the confession will be returned to you! If anything goes wrong during this period, the prince will punish you with a confession! ”
"-Of course, you can also not write, I will not force you! I really don't force you! ”
Zhao Huan said in his mouth, but his hand had already begun to gradually exert force, the blade of the sword had already entered the skin, and the pain of the skin made Yang Song's fear overcome reason.
"I write! I write! ”
"I said you write! Yang Song, the official ordnance supervisor...... Write quickly! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Yang Song cried and wrote, wrote down word for word according to what Zhao Huan said, signed it and handed it to Zhao Huan. Zhao Huan saw that it was correct and handed it over to Wu Lan to put it away.
"Wang Yu, let him sign the official document!"
Wang Yu brought the official document for the allocation of military funds, Yang Song signed it with tears on his face, and Wang Yu took back the official document and put it away.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Huan put away his sword and got into the car, and said without looking back:
"Yang Song, don't play tricks, I have a hundred ways to clean you up! As long as you cooperate with this prince, no matter whose nephew you are, this prince will guarantee your safety! ”
Yang Song watched hundreds of people leave, thinking about the confession he had just written, and the fear in his heart became stronger and stronger, he hurriedly instructed his craftsmen to prepare well, and he went back to Tokyo City in a sedan chair to find his uncle Yang Jian.
On the road.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mighty! The last general has a lot of strength, and there is no way to meet this kind of villain, but when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came, he was so frightened that he was scared, and he obediently wrote a confession, and now he grabbed his handle, so he was not afraid that he would play tricks again! ”
Just through such a trivial matter, Wang Yu and Wu Lan have already admired Zhao Huan very much. Especially Wang Yu, he knows how difficult this Yang Song is to deal with, and his admiration for Zhao Huan is even more incomprehensible.
Zhao Huan was not happy, but said in a deep voice to Wang Yu and Wu Luan: "Go to the military horse supervisor to transfer three thousand military horses, each of them ride one and bring the rest, and join Wu Yu and set off immediately!" ”
"Huh?"
Wang Yu was puzzled, "So urgent? But what went wrong? ”
Wu Lan also said: "Is His Highness afraid that Yang Song will sue him?" ”
"That's right! If this kind of corrupt official can be trusted, it would be strange, he will definitely complain to my father! The official family is notoriously soft-eared, even if it is inevitable that I will be on an errand for the Eastern Crusade, he will accept my Longquan Sword! Without further ado, it's better to go! ”
"Yes!"
When the two heard Zhao Huan say this, they also understood what might happen next, Wu Xuan hurriedly sent a few people to inform Wu Jue, and then ran all the way to the military and horse prison outside the city; Zhao Huan personally issued the delivery documents, did not give the military horse supervisor any chance to play tricks, forcibly collected 3,000 horses on the spot, went to Cao Ju Horse Village to quickly pack up his things, and prepared dry food and felt blankets and other marching things, and quickly went out of the east gate.
Inner Palace.
Liang Shicheng cried and cried for a long time, saying that the prince was cowardly, and he was afraid that he would be used by thieves to kill Zhongliang with Shang Fang's sword, and asked Zhao Ji to take back Shang Fang's sword.
Zhao Ji impatiently interrupted Liang Shicheng because he had been vaccinated by Zhao Huan.
This made Liang Shicheng shocked and shouted that it was not good, the official family actually reprimanded him in order to defend the prince, which had never happened before!
This sign is not good, very bad!
However, he knew that Zhao Huan was not only soft-eared, but also suspicious, and he had a way to slander Zhao Huan!
"Official! With Shang Fang's sword, the prince can mobilize the army, and when the time comes, what should he do when the official family is unprepared? ”
"What foolish thing can you do?"
Zhao Ji asked rhetorically, full of disbelief; But he was alert in his heart, and slightly regretted that he gave Shang Fang's sword to Zhao Huan.
"Official! Spare your life! ”
At this moment, Tai Lieutenant Yang Jian entered the main hall crying, and said that Zhao Huan made a big fuss about the weapons supervisor and forcibly mobilized 3,000 war horses, but he never dared to mention Yang Song's confession, and only kept begging Zhao Ji to take back the Longquan Sword.
"Shouldn't I really give the crown prince Shang Fang a sword?"
Zhao Ji muttered secretly in his heart.
"Someone! Call the prince over, I have something to ask! ”
"Official! It's too late! ”
Tong Guan walked in from outside the main hall and replied, "The prince has already left the city, I'm afraid he has gone far by this time......"
