Chapter VI An Edict
The ancestor of the Great Qin, the young man showed the spirit of talent, and at the age of fifteen, he ordered to rebuild the "Xuanhe Palace" and renamed the "Wenwu Palace", which means: Xing Wenwu and revitalize the Qin State!
Today, the new lord of Qin, who is only sixteen years old, sits high on the golden dragon chair handed over to him by his ancestors, Qin has a strong Chu in the south and Great Qi in the north, and the Qin State is caught in a bit of a dilemma, fortunately, the monarchs of the Qin State are still quite competitive, even if the young master ascends the throne, there are few incompetences, and the little emperor Li Yu is high but also calm and calm, quite a bit of an emperor.
In the renovated Hajj Palace, the hundred officials are divided into two sides early in the morning, the left is written and the right is martial, but because the border war is urgent, the military generals on the right are sparse and not many.
Yan Mou stood on the side of the civil officials, but the difference was that the place where he stood was a big step higher than the other civil officials, this was because the first emperor was dying and entrusted Gu, and Yan Mou was the auxiliary prince to assist the young master, the position of the auxiliary country, and the side of the monarch. On the other side of Yan Mou is the Protector Gong, that is, Gaoling.
The monarch is in the middle, one article and one military force affects the situation of the court, how can there be such a situation in the Qin State for hundreds of years, which is good and which is bad, all the ministers are nervous, and what worries the ministers is actually whether the border battle report that is coming this morning is good or bad. The absent protectors of the early dynasty went to the frontier to protect the country and the people.
Half an hour has passed, entering the early winter, the snow began to flutter outside the palace, rows of Praetorian Guards stood upright, the atmosphere was quite solemn, fortunately the hall was quite warm, the ministers must have had no time to eat breakfast early in the morning, plus standing for such a long time, some ministers' legs were a little trembling, looking extremely funny, all of this was seen by Li Yu, but the child did not laugh, just looked at the calm and calm Yan Mou.
"Border Battle Report! Border Pass Battle Report! Border Pass Battle Report! ”
A hoarse battle report resounded throughout the palace of the Qin State, the hoarse shout made the falling snowflakes stagger, the hoarse shout made the minister with trembling legs lift his spirits, and the hoarse shout finally made the tall child reveal the excited look that should be at this age.
"Your Majesty! Wild goose.... City... Battle report! ”
"The herald was covered in blood, exhausted, and the battle report in his hand was shattered."
"Read!"
The clear and slightly immature voice resounded through the hall, only one word but extremely firm!
"The grain and grass in Yancheng have been robbed! The general led 30,000 troops to be missing, the left general Xia Ba led a thousand horsemen into the Qi army camp and the whereabouts are unknown, the military division Zhang Heng led 10,000 elite soldiers to retreat to Mangshan Town, and the Northern Qi army retreated for 30 miles! ”
"Ahh
"How can this be!"
"General Gao, what do you mean by this?"
.......................
For a while, the hall was noisy and discussed.
"Shut up! What's going on! Where did General Gao go?! What does that mean?! ”
Xiao Guojun slapped the dragon chair again, stood up, and asked Yan Mou for the last sentence.
Hearing that the grain and grass were robbed, Yan Mou was also shocked.
I obviously ......., it's Han Li!
"Alright, you stand down!"
Yan Mou sighed secretly, and waved his sleeves lightly to retreat the herald.
The herald, dressed in tattered armor, stumbled out of the temple gate, walked down the stone steps, and stood on the Wenwu Avenue and suddenly stopped.
"Plop!"
Kneeling towards the north, he slammed his head on the bluestone slab covered with a thin layer of snow, and then, in the consternation and panic of the Janissaries, he snatched Changge and inserted it into his body.
Outside the palace gate in the distance was Han Li, looking at this scene, the corners of his mouth raised a strange arc.
The door of the Wenwu Hall was closed, and there was silence in the door.
After a little silence, Yan Mou finally took half a step and turned to the little monarch Li Yu.
"Your Majesty, only General Gao and I know the route of grain and grass escort, so I am willing to be investigated and punished, but......
Yan Mou groaned slightly.
Why did the general only lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the 200,000 troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty and then his whereabouts are unknown? General Zuo Xia Ba has been fighting with the general for many years, why did he suddenly disappear into the enemy camp? But the Northern Qi army also withdrew at this time? It's all worth digging into! But at this moment, what does Zhang Heng mean by leading 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the small city of Mangshan?! I have to guard against it.
"Guard?! You mean? ”
Xiao Li Yu stood up and looked at Yan Mou with wide eyes.
"If you don't speak well, the battle report ahead is here! That's all I can say! ”
............
"Your Majesty! What the prime minister said is not unreasonable, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to Mangshan City is really incomprehensible, my northern border is now empty, if this 10,000 soldiers and horses really have the intention to attack my Jiangling, it will be like entering the realm of no one, and Zhang Heng is insidious and cunning and hated by the Three Kingdoms, but only obeys the orders of Gaoling to act alone, has always been disrespectful to the royal family, now, should first order Zhang Heng to garrison Mangshan City and not return to Beijing, and then transfer the soldiers and horses of southern Xinjiang, stationed in Yushan, 600 miles north of Jiangling, just in case. ”
Imperial Doctor Chen Ping was full of red light, shaking his goatee and shouting in a loud voice.
Li Yu sat back on the dragon chair and said gloomily: "When did my Great Qin soldiers be feared by the enemy country, and it became a shameful thing?" ”
The hall was suddenly quiet, and they all looked at Yan Mou who was living on the high platform, Yan Mou's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and he said to the little emperor: "The soldiers of Great Qin are naturally praised for fighting for the country, but the three armies must obey the emperor's orders, if Zhang Heng is really anti-against or has already committed treason, you will know that now, when protecting the foundation of my Great Qin, it is important to do the worst no matter what." ”
After a little quiet.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
................
There was a voice of secondment in the main hall, and Yan Mou lowered his head and was expressionless.
Li Yu looked at the echo in the hall, his neck stretched out to look at the side of the general, he thought that at least one opposing voice could be heard from the side of the general, as long as there was an opposing voice, he could let this matter be discussed in the long run.
He watched and listened for a long time, and finally sighed.
"After approving Dr. Chen's proposal, Prime Minister Yan immediately investigated the case of Gaoling, and I will play it three days later!"
Prime Minister's Mansion, Council Hall.
"Is that you?"
Yan Mou sat upright on a high chair, the teacup in his hand clenched, and glared angrily.
Han Li nudged the teacup and said with a sneer: "Father-in-law, I can assure you that the leakage of the military plane has absolutely nothing to do with me. ”
Throwing the teacup again, Yan Mou snorted coldly. ”
"But I know that Gao Ling has died in battle, and he is just taking care of his family for the heralds in front."
Han Li said ruthlessly, and the tea in the cup was also sprinkled all over the ground because of excitement.
"You're really ruthless, aren't you?" Yan Mou looked at Han Li.
"Rest assured, as long as the matter of Gaoling's treason is confirmed, his Gao family will have no chance to turn over."
Yan Mou continued to taste the tea in his hand, he thought: This is the best hair tip that has just been paid tribute from Shu at the beginning of spring this year, but some people will never be able to bear it.
Qin built the capital of Jiangling, Jiangling has a forbidden prison, heaven and earth, people are closed to the people, the word of the earth is charged to hundreds of officials, the word of heaven is forbidden to princes, in the prison of Tianzi, Gao Jixing is sitting in the prison, the cold wind blows the snowflakes into the cell, Gao Jixing only feels colder and colder.
Three days later, the palace issued an edict to move the capital!
"The great general Gao Ling treasoned and collaborated with the enemy, punished the nine clans with the laws of the Qin State, and beheaded all the doors!"
The harem of the imperial city, the twenty-four open hall shows the royal style, the little monarch Li Yu holds the file that he has read all night, standing in front of the fully open palace door, the cold wind is howling, and the dragon robe is blowing and hunting.
"Father-in-law Hou, you have seen the demeanor of your ancestors when the emperor was here, do you tell me whether Gaoling will really commit treason?"
Standing beside Li Yu, with a childish face, bowing his head and saying nothing, it was the father-in-law who sent the letter to Gao Ling earlier.
"The emperor is very talented, since the edict has been issued, it is right, besides, ....." Hou Gonggong said no more.
"Say!"
Gonggong Hou sighed lightly and continued to Li Yu:
"Whether it's the other way around or not, at this moment, Your Majesty shouldn't understand."
Li Yu looked at the golden dragon robe on his body and suddenly remembered the scene that happened in the Wenwu Hall earlier.
"Once my edict is issued, Gao Ling's judgment will be confirmed, and he will not be rehabilitated in the future, otherwise it will be my ignorance, do you understand?"
Father-in-law Hou bowed his head and was silent.
"Grandpa Hou?"
When he was young, he wanted to pamper Li Yi's only son, Li Yu, as his own grandson, which was the secret of Hou's father-in-law, but the careful Li Yu knew it.
When Father-in-law Hou heard this, he knelt down and shouted, "Don't dare." ”
Li Yu picked up Gonggong Hou, and faced the cold wind that rushed into the main hall, his face was like a knife, as if he was punishing himself, and then he slowly spoke: "You say, will anyone dare to die for Daqin in the future?" ”
Gonggong Hou snorted and cried: "The old slave has been waiting for the emperor for more than 30 years, and he thinks that His Majesty is a young talent, and he has the style of the emperor, and the talents of the world will enter Daqin." ”
Li Yu sighed: "I hope so." ”
"I heard that General Gao has a son who is one year older than me, a well-known gentleman, who was imprisoned earlier for the national funeral?"
After a long time, Li Yu suddenly said as if he had thought of something
"Yes!"
"Pass the order and remove him from this list of beheadings."
Gonggong Hou hesitated slightly, agreed to retreat, and when he withdrew from the main hall, Li Yu spoke again: "Gonggong Hou, you were brought into the palace by Emperor Taizu back then, and you haven't been home for many years, right?" When I am in power, you will return to your hometown to live in your old age.
When Gonggong Hou heard this, he knelt down and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
The steps of Grandpa Hou who left the palace became lighter and lighter, and his spirit was flying, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace all looked sideways at Grandpa Hou, who was different today.
Where did the eunuch come from, where did he come from, didn't this sentence Hou Gonggong to death, but Hou Gonggong was happy in his heart.
It is the love of the little emperor to make Gao Ling's son a fish that slipped through the net; The little emperor has affection for himself, and it is imperial art to drive himself away.
Lonely people are never called in vain, Hou Gonggong himself feels that the little emperor has imperial skills to be up to the task, but he does not lose the ease he deserves, he has never been in awe of Li Yu, he watched Li Yu grow up like an elder, and the chief of the inner family needs Hou Gonggong but does not need an elder, so he is relieved and satisfied.
Exile equivalent to the death penalty? The moment the first emperor closed his eyes, Gonggong Hou died.
