Jiang Zhong ignored Li Tiezui's surprised gaze, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty's dragon body is the most important thing in the world, and now Wei Wangye has made His Majesty angry for a few hungry people, which is really hateful. ”

Li Tiezui almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly tried to hold his face and make a serious expression.

Jiang Zhong is refuting this, this is digging a pit for the emperor! "It's really hateful to make Your Majesty angry for a few hungry people", if the emperor agrees with this, I don't know who is more hateful, is this unclear that the emperor's anger is more serious than the starvation of the common people? As for the punishment proposed by Jiang Zhong, it seems to be significant, and the demotion, it is indeed a severe punishment, the problem is that Wei Qing's prince is still unmoved, but he has changed from a generalissimo to a small marshal, he is still the commander-in-chief of the Han army, and the really important position of the king of Zhenbei is not affected at all, this kind of suggestion can only be said to deal with the emperor.

The emperor was not fooled, he snorted coldly: "Jiang Shangshu's words are not right, I am angry not because of the hungry people, but because of the mob, now Wei Qing is in court to resist the decree, but he deserves to be punished with death!" ”

Li Tiezui and Jiang Zhong were both in their hearts.

They desperately tried their best to turn the topic in order to prevent Wei Qing from being deducted from the crime of "resisting the decree in court", but the emperor dealt with their group of intrigues all day long, and he had long been familiar with the methods of this group of people, so he was not fooled at all.

Li Tiezui had no choice but to retreat, but he muttered secretly in his heart.

Wei Qing's approach today, in fact, can be big or small, to the big one, it is to resist the decree in court, it can be said to be a capital crime, to say small, it is to have a different view from the emperor on dealing with the riots, at most one apology can be done, why does the emperor have to say it big, he will not be unclear, now the people in the court, more friends with Wei Qing, the military department Shangshu Jiang Zhong is Wei Qing's father-in-law, Wei Qing is a real fame, the next class of generals are loyal to Wei Qing, and the Han is now in the hands of Wei Qing's subordinates, the emperor does this, At least it hurts the heart of the heavy general, and at worst it may even provoke unforeseen things, why should the emperor take such a big risk and must execute Wei Qing, there should be something hidden in this.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Zhong saw that he couldn't deceive the emperor, so he had to come hard: "The minister thinks that His Majesty's punishment today is too heavy, and the minister is willing to intercede with Wei Qing with all his merits, please let Wei Qing go, and read the words of the minister and Wei Qing for the sake of the country and the king, please think deeply!" ”

The emperor sneered: "For the country and the king, Wei Qing's hard work in battle is good, but what kind of destiny does the Chixiao Sword in his hand have to fulfill!" ”

As soon as he said this, Wei Qing and Jiang Zhong's faces changed color together.

Who told the emperor about the Chixiao Sword, this is a big deal, the emperor can forgive everything, but if there is a second person other than him who "responds to the mandate of heaven", if he doesn't kill him, he can still keep him, this is the real reason why the emperor must treat Wei Qing for death.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Qing knew that this matter could not be silent, silence was acquiescence: "The Chixiao Sword is indeed in the hands of the minister, but this sword was obtained by accident for the minister, and the one who should be the mandate of heaven is also the one who should be the king of the earth, and the minister has split the earth and sealed the king today, and he has responded to this order, Your Majesty, please don't be provoked!" ”

The emperor was stunned, he really didn't expect that the king of the ripping earth was actually in response to the mandate of heaven, he knew that he was a little too sensitive this time, but the matter had come to this, he couldn't just apologize to Wei Qing like this!

"Whether you hide the Chixiao Sword privately or resist the decree in court, which one is enough to kill the head!" The emperor said: "Don't talk nonsense, come here, escort Wei Qing to the heavenly prison to be beheaded, and retreat from the dynasty!" ”

After saying that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, got up and left, ignoring the cries of Li Tiezui and Jiang Zhong behind him.

The samurai escorted Wei Qing down, and the emperor entered the harem, and the ministers had no choice but to disperse.

Li Tiezui took two steps closely, caught up with Jiang Zhong, and asked in a low voice: "Who told Marshal Wei that he had the Chixiao Sword, let's take a good look!" ”

Jiang Zhong sighed: "If people don't know, unless they don't know." Although there is no Gu Huairen now, among this group of ministers, not only Gu Huairen is dark-hearted, Imperial Envoy Li doesn't have to worry about it, it is useless to check, even if it is found, one person can be guarded against today, but there will be another person tomorrow, above our court, there can be a few people who are sincerely for the country and the people, let it be! ”

Li Tiezui also sighed.

This is indeed true, but was Wei Qing executed like this?

Wei Qing was locked up in prison, but he didn't suffer anything, as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, the king of Zhenbei, which jailer dared to give Wei Qing small shoes to wear casually, and everyone also knew that Wei Qing was imprisoned to protect the people, not only did he not make it difficult for Wei Qing, but he took care of him from time to time, and the warden even secretly invited Wei Qing to drink twice in private.

For half a month, the emperor did not give an order, neither saying that he would release Wei Qing, nor that he would kill Wei Qing.

Wei Qing sat in prison and had nothing to do, and he figured it out, in fact, the emperor is also very embarrassed now, and letting Wei Qing go is tantamount to admitting that he was wrong, this is a matter of the emperor's face, killing Wei Qing hurt the hearts of the generals, and the emperor himself knows that this matter is his big deal, and he doesn't blame Wei Qing, so he has to be locked up like this.

In the afternoon of this day, Wei Qing finished eating and was sitting in prison, when suddenly there was a noise in the distance, only to hear a burst of footsteps from far and near, and they actually rushed all the way.

Wei Qing was wondering to himself, and the two figures had already rushed to the door: "Husband! Jiang Xiaoyu and Qi Muge appeared in front of the door, and both of them had tears in their eyes.

"Xiaoyu, Qimuge, why are you here!" Wei Qing was taken aback.

According to the rules, those who go to prison are isolated from the world, and it is strictly forbidden to visit, and now that the two of them have come in, even the two of them will be imprisoned.

Jiang Xiaoyu and Qi Muge couldn't speak, just shed tears.

Behind the two, the jailer rushed over, with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Prince Wei, His Majesty the Emperor has decreed that Lord Wei will be reinstated and released from prison!" ”

Wei Qing was stunned.

That's weird, isn't it? The Emperor just confessed his mistake.

The jailer had already opened the cell door, and as soon as the door opened, Jiang Xiaoyu and Qi Muge threw themselves into Wei Qing's arms, one left and one right.

Wei Qing opened his arms, grabbed the two, and said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk, let's go out and talk about it!" ”

As soon as I got out of the prison door, I saw Jiang Zhong, Wei Zhenguo, Wei Mu and others in front, Liu Qi, Shi Qian, Bai Buxin and others behind, all waiting at the door.

Jiang Zhong took a step forward and whispered to Wei Qing: "This time you have to thank the Generalissimo of the French Empire, Sarkozy!" ”

"What? Who am I thankful for! "Wei Qing Daqi, this Sarkozy he has only met once in Mobei, he is a pure villain, the two of them clashed, Sarkozy knew the difficulty and retreated, how could he help Wei Qing.

Jiang Zhong said with a smile: "Previously, you blocked the ambition of the French Empire to occupy Mobei, but the French Empire refused to give up, after Sarkozy returned to China, I heard that the Han army had returned to the dynasty, and you were imprisoned again, so I contacted the countries of the Europa continent to form a coalition army, and collected some people who fled from the Jin Kingdom, I heard that they also made an appointment with the Great Food Country outside the Western Regions, and marched together to occupy our Han and turn our Han into their land, His Majesty the Emperor could not think of it, so he had to let you go out and let you lead the troops to resist the enemy!" ”

Wei Qing then understood that the emperor had to let him go, and he immediately said: "In this case, please report to His Majesty the Emperor quickly, the minister Wei Qing is willing to lead the troops to resist foreign enemies and protect the border of the Han Dynasty!" ”

Jiang Zhong looked at Wei Qing: "Don't you blame Your Majesty for putting you in prison?" Just accept the will! ”

"Whether I blame His Majesty the Emperor or not", Wei Qing said in a deep voice: "I am now fighting for the people of the Han Dynasty, if the Han Dynasty falls, it will not only His Majesty the Emperor who suffers, what is it for me to be wronged alone?" If I go out one day late, there will be countless Han people suffering, how can I have time to blame His Majesty the Emperor, please Lord Shangshu report to His Majesty the Emperor quickly, let me go out as soon as possible, and relieve the suffering of the people! ”

Tears welled up in Jiang Zhong's eyes.

"I'm going to see Your Majesty!" He replied, "Son-in-law, you are the number one general of my great man!" ”

Wei Qing didn't answer, his gaze seemed to have penetrated the wall, and he saw thousands of miles away, he seemed to see countless enemy troops beating drums and horns, and his heart was nervously calculating how to deal with the powerful enemy.

"He Bridegroom. The Twelve Brothers of Bemaojia

The green trees listen to the pelicans, and the partridges stop, the cuckoos cut their voices, crying until the spring is nowhere to be found, and the bitter hatred of Fangfei is resting; Even if you don't arrive at the world to part, you will immediately close the pipa room and black, and the longer door will be green and resigned; Look at Yanyan and send it back to the concubine.

Hanzhong opened the Han industry, asked this place, yes and fei, wanted to point the sword at the three Qin, the king was proud, returned to the east in a war, chased the dead, and now I don't see it, but the mountains and rivers are full of tears, the sunset is not broken, and the west wind is empty and fat.

A compilation of books is the emperor's division, a small attempt to go to the west, more hastily leave the feast, hurriedly go to the road, full of sorrowful flags, Jun Si I, looking back, Zhengjiang Han autumn shadow geese flying, Ande wheel four corners, unbearable to reduce waist circumference
