Duan Xi has commanded the army for many years, how can he not know that the embroidered messenger has infiltrated the military camp, but what can he do, the embroidered messenger is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, even if he knows, he can only be regarded as not knowing, he is not at odds with Lu Zhi because of any military merits, he is already one of the generals of the Four Expeditions, what about the history of the state assassin?

The main reason is that his military merits are too high, and his prestige is heavy, after Zhang Huan's death, because he defeated the Xianbei people and captured Tanshihuai alive, he has become a general who is praised by everyone in the world, and there is no comparable to him, Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan, if they are fine, but as soon as they leave, Duan Xi began to act extra carefully.

He commanded the most elite cavalry in the country, staying so far away from Luoyang, Hezhou assassinated Lu Zhi, all of them were his original subordinates, in this case, he had to have a brain idiot to hold hands with Lu Zhi to govern Hezhou, since His Majesty had a jealousy for the position of general, he Duan Xi had an extremely embarrassing situation that could not be sealed.

He has reached the end of the military attaché, and the title is also a county marquis, the merit of conquering Xianbei is so huge, but the Son of Heaven has not canonized himself for a long time, this has already explained the problem, the military merit is so high that it cannot be rewarded, this is often when a famous general dies, Duan Xi is also afraid in his heart, so he broke with Lu Zhi, and showed strong malice towards Lu Zhi in front of everyone.

He wasted his energy, just trying to dispel the jealousy of the Son of Heaven.

He acted shrewdly, and even quietly coveted some military rations, these military rations were not much, not enough for him to die, but enough to break his reputation, and it could be regarded as handing over the handle to His Majesty and giving His Majesty a step, in Duan Xi's eyes, what kind of reputation is this, it is far less than the head on his shoulder, reputation can be wanted, this power can also be put down, but life can not be wanted!

Since defeating Xianbei, he has been walking on thin ice, thinking day and night, thinking about how to act in the future, as for Lu Zhi's suggestion, he will not take it, at this time, if he makes meritorious contributions, isn't that forcing the Son of Heaven to kill himself?

Hehe, will fight, high credit?

Before, the Son of Heaven wanted to kill Zhang Huan, and some people defended it like this, but later, the Son of Heaven asked rhetorically, how is it compared to Han Xin?

Every time he thought of the unfathomable smile of the Son of Heaven, Duan Xi felt a chill in his back, for a period of time, he seemed to be on top, in fact, he was really a little painful, a little tired, he felt that he somewhat understood the thoughts of the famous generals in ancient times.

When Zhang He received the message from the flying pigeon, he looked at it for a while and immediately sent it to the palace.

The little fat man looked at every line and every sentence seriously, and looked at the twists and turns on the side, this is Lu Zhi's book, it is to tell Duan Xi for his inaction, and to ask him to send troops to help Hezhou complete the matter of protecting the people, the Son of Heaven read these two letters carefully, and suddenly laughed, Xun You on the side didn't know why the Son of Heaven laughed, and asked: "Your Majesty, but what is the happy thing?" ”

The Son of Heaven narrowed his eyes, ignored Xun You, and said in a low voice: "I want to cover it." ”

"You say, a general who has been in a hundred battles will be afraid of assassination by his subordinates?" The Son of Heaven suddenly looked at Xun You and asked.

Xun You was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why the Son of Heaven asked like this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It shouldn't be." ”

"Hahaha, Zhang He, this guy is still far inferior to Yangqiu, if he is discovered, he will be calculated, and he will be calculated!" The Son of Heaven said, Xun You was even more puzzled, the words of the Son of Heaven, the preface did not match the afterword, Xun You was completely unclear about what the Son of Heaven was talking about, looking at the Son of Heaven with a puzzled face, the Son of Heaven thought for a moment, looked at Xun You who was puzzled on the side, but smiled again.

Every time, when the Son of Heaven grinned, Xun You would feel creepy inexplicably.

Xun You didn't know why, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, Xun You didn't speak again, but the Son of Heaven looked at him and asked, "Gongda, how is my strength?" Is it tolerant? ”

Xun You hurriedly said: "Wang Fu is such a thief, Your Majesty can still reuse it, it can be seen that Your Majesty can tolerate people, and it is definitely not human!" ”

"Hahaha, that's right, so why should you be so wary of me?" The Son of Heaven asked rhetorically, Xun You's forehead was sweating, and he hurriedly said, "Don't dare!" The Son of Heaven ignored him, lowered his head again, and took out the third letter, which was the information brought by the embroidered messenger, and it was about Duan Xi's greed for military rations.

Since Xianbei was pacified, there have been many voices among the hundred officials who asked Duan Xi to be the general, and these voices were strongly suppressed by the most loyal eagle dog of the Son of Heaven, Zhang He, but this left a thorn in the heart of the Son of Heaven, for Duan Xi, he has love and hate in his heart, he is very capable of fighting, which is the reason why he loves and hates.

It's a good thing for a general to be able to fight, but if he's too good at fighting, it's not a good thing.

Especially, when there were no generals in the whole country who could compete with him, he became the only commander-in-chief.

After receiving this letter, the little fat man was very happy, he felt that he had finally grasped Duan Xi's handle, and he could also deal with Duan Xi in the future, although the king never needed a reason to dispose of his courtiers, but having a handle in his hand always made him feel more at ease, but when he found out that something was wrong, he had a sense of anger in his heart that he had been deceived.

Am I such a cautious person? Do you think I don't have the capacity to accommodate anyone, or are you already planning something in the dark?

Otherwise, why would you deceive me so much?

The more the Son of Heaven thought about it, the more angry he became, but at present, there was no general who could take charge of the Northern Army and replace Duan Xi's position, which undoubtedly made him even more annoyed in his heart, he thought for a moment, turned around, looked at Xun You with a smile, and suddenly said: "I haven't seen General Duan for a long time, but I miss it a little in my heart."

Hearing this, Xun Yu was so smart, in connection with the previous words, he had already guessed the general situation in his heart, he was smart, he did not speak, continued to maintain the puzzled appearance, looked at the Son of Heaven puzzled, and said: "General Duan is far away in Hezhou, doesn't Your Majesty want to summon General Duan?" ”

The Son of Heaven looked at him again, but did not speak again.

When the second day of the court meeting began,

Cao Song walked into the palace a little absent-mindedly, he was still thinking about yesterday's things in his heart, he walked to the door of the main hall, Song Dian who was at the door looked at him, smiled, Cao Song also bowed his head and saluted, blinked his eyes, and walked into the main hall, greeted the hundred officials, and sat in his place, organizing words, and after a while, the Son of Heaven slowly walked in.

The ministers asked for the letter of the king to cook the festival again, and a few courtiers asked to ask for the attack of the cook, and when they finished the process, the court meeting officially began.

The Son of Heaven only discussed with the ministers some important matters about the Reading Literature Division, and since the scriptures have been determined, this Reading Literature Division should also be established, and he still needs to get some advice from the ministers about his stationing, maintenance, etc.

was chatting, Cao Song suddenly got up and said, "The minister has a play!" ”

The Son of Heaven nodded, his expression a little puzzled.

"Since ancient times, there has never been a reason for a general to come out for a long time and not return, now General Duan, who has lived in Hezhou for a long time, heard about Zhang Jun's report earlier, he still has the evil behavior of greedy for military salaries, I don't know whether it is true or not, I ask Your Majesty to recall General Duan, let him confront Zhang Jun face to face, and find out the truth!"

As soon as these words came out, hundreds of officials were shocked.
