The generals of the Yongwang Party and the Donggong Party bit each other on the matter of the change in the Beiyi military camp, so it was absolutely impossible to make a conclusion in just a few days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But Yongwang Hongyu was a little anxious, because he was also a little worried, worried that the handwritten letter sent to Cui Xie would fall into the hands of Xiangwang Hongjing.

Therefore, Zhang Qigong suggested that Yongwang Hongyu bring down the East Palace as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

So on the morning of June 17, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, became the target of public criticism.

In the early dynasty of this day, there were several people who were very rare to see in the court on weekdays, Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, Qingwang Hongxin, and Suwang Hongrun.

In particular, the arrival of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, made the courtiers who participated in the early dynasty feel very surprised.

You must know that although His Royal Highness King Su has the honor of participating in the court, he never ascends the Xuanzheng Hall unless Wei Tianzi announces it, and it is hard to imagine that this Royal Highness will appear here.

Not to mention others, even Wei Tianzi, who participated in the early dynasty, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after seeing Zhao Hongrun.

You must know that from the sixteenth year of Hong De to this year, a total of four years, Zhao Hongrun has definitely appeared in the early dynasty no more than one hand.

But today, this inferior son actually appeared in the early dynasty, which means that something big must happen today.

"Huh."

Glancing at the position of King Yong Hongyu kneeling on the Xuanzheng Palace, Wei Tianzi's eyes flashed with a hint of elusiveness, and then he said in a deep voice: "Zhong Aiqing, flat body." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The courtiers and the princes stood up.

Glancing around, for some reason, Wei Tianzi asked calmly as if he hadn't seen Zhao Hongrun, "What do you want to do today?" ”

It has long been said, in fact, the early dynasty is a routine, that is, all the ministries and departments of the imperial court tell Wei Tianzi what they have done recently, so that Wei Tianzi knows that their ministers are not lazy, and it is not a corpse vegetarian meal, in fact, the real taboo events, such as where there is a big flood, where there is a drought or something, this kind of matter has already been dealt with by the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites, and it is impossible to wait for Wei Tianzi to be invited in the early court to make any conclusions, otherwise, wouldn't the victims have to starve to death more?

In addition, the most common thing in the early dynasties was that the ministers of the DPRK and China were fighting each other, to put it more seriously, it was impeachment, and the political enemies of different camps attacked each other, and the Yushitai, as a speech official, criticized the entire six departments of the imperial court, as if they scolded these officials, and they could make the officials of the six and twenty-four departments of the DPRK and the central government become honest and honest.

Therefore, according to the usual process, it should be the Shangshu of each ministry who took the lead in speaking and told Wei Tianzi that he had been working hard recently to share his worries for the country, and then it was the turn of the imperial historian and the imperial historian who were the officials to come forward and criticize the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee.

But today, when the discerning courtiers saw the four princes appear at the same time in the early court, they bowed their heads and did not speak, because they knew that they were not the protagonists of today.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Tang Zheng, the new secretary of the Criminal Department, asked Wei Tianzi to come out to impeach the "Northern First Army".

Tang Zheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, cited many examples, saying that during the Northern Xinjiang Campaign, the First Army of the North was accused of plundering civilians, slaughtering innocents, lying about military exploits, excluding colleagues, framing friendly troops, and taking away people's military exploits.

Subsequently, Tang Zheng presented a lot of incriminating evidence.

I have to say that it is not that Tang Zheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has taken refuge in King Yonghongyu, but because of these things, it is indeed conclusive evidence.

Take the two points of squeezing out colleagues and framing friendly troops, during the Northern Xinjiang Campaign, Cui Xie of the Yongwang Party and Liu Yi of the Xiangwang Party were quite miserable by the Donggong Party, and they could not benefit from them, but when the Northern First Army encountered the fierce attack of the Korean army, the Donggong Party united and forced Cui Xie and Liu Yi to lead the troops to fight.

For this reason, Cui Xie and Liu Yi did not know how many defeats they had to lose, and they also suffered heavy casualties among their subordinates, who originally held more than 10,000 troops.

In fact, the ministers of the DPRK and China are more or less aware of this kind of thing, and even if they don't know about it, they can guess it just by thinking about it.

After all, it was Zhao Hongli, the crown prince of the East Palace, who was in charge of the position of the commander of the Northern First Army at that time, so how could the East Palace Party not take the opportunity to deal with the Yongwang Party and the Xiangwang Party?

Subsequently, King Qing Hongxin also came forward to impeach the Northern First Army for its exploits in invading and occupying the "Northern Third Army".

You must know that the main general of the Northern Third Army is Jiang Cong of the Tianshui Wei clan, and the Tianshui Wei clan and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, have already shown their banners to support Zhao Hongxin, the fifth son of the emperor, Qing Wang, as early as a while ago, so the exploits of the Northern First Army to invade Jiang Cong are also harmful to the interests of Qing King Zhao Hongxin in a sense.

Although Jiang Yi didn't want to offend the Northern First Army with a deep background and the commander of the Northern First Army, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing, was not afraid of offending the latter.

After Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing, Zhao Hongjing, the king of Xiang, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, all came forward to impeach the Northern First Army.

Zhao Hongjing, the king of Xiang, accused the Northern First Army of stealing and blaming friendly troops, while Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, impeached the Northern First Army for indiscriminately killing innocent Korean people, insulting the word army, and destroying the reputation of the Wei army.

Even in the end, Zhao Hongrun said something that made the Xuanzheng Hall silent: "...... Like such thugs and villains, how can they be called my soldiers of Great Wei? Sons are ashamed to be with them! ”

To tell the truth, before Zhao Hongrun took charge of the army, the reputation of the Wei army was actually not much better, such as the Dangshan army, the general of this army, Sima An, when he first assisted Zhao Hongrun in attacking the Qianjiao tribe in Sanchuan County, he did not hesitate to slaughter several Qijiao tribes that did not participate in the war between the two sides.

However, in the past few years when Zhao Hongrun was in charge of the army, His Royal Highness King Su has been committed to improving the positive image of the Wei army in the world, strictly prohibiting the looting of civilians and the slaughter of innocents, so that in terms of military discipline in this regard, the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army can be called the most exemplary armies.

And the advantage of this is that when Zhao Hongrun later assisted Lu Xi, the king of Qi, in his crusade against Chu, he easily abducted more than a million civilians from Chu and forcibly increased the national population of Wei by nearly two percent.

After this incident, the Ministry of War included the "prohibition of massacres of civilians of other countries" in the military discipline regulations and issued it to the domestic army.

But unfortunately, the Northern First Army did not take it seriously.

In the entire early dynasty that day, it seemed that Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, Qingwang Hongxin, Suwang Hongrun and others jointly impeached the Northern First Army.

In fact, everyone in the Xuanzheng Palace knows that although these impeachments are the scum of the Northern First Army and the East Palace Party, as long as these criminal evidence are confirmed, then the last person responsible must be Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace.

Who let Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, not discipline the people under him? This is "Your Majesty"!

Even the people under his own hands are not well disciplined, how can they govern the country?

In the early days of the Dynasty, Wei Tianzi did not clearly punish the prince of the East Palace, but this matter spread throughout the Liang in just half a day.

The four princes jointly impeached the Northern First Army and impeached the East Palace, so you can imagine what kind of storm this is.

You must know that these four princes are not princes like Zhao Hongyin, King of Xi, and Zhao Hongxuan, King Huan, who are still unknown for the time being, King Yong, King Xiang, and King Qing, all of whom have a lot of fame in Daliang, not to mention King Su.

These four forces are twisted into one, and the powerful public opinion, even if the nobles of the East Palace Party are gritting their teeth and holding on, they can't resist it.

A few days later, the storm blew even more fiercely, first Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, who was still stationed in Shanyang County, Hedong County, played the imperial court and bluntly impeached the incompetence of the East Palace, and then there were "unknown insiders" in the Northern First Army, the Northern Second Army, and the Northern Third Army, revealing all kinds of ugly acts of the Northern First Army during the Northern Xinjiang Campaign.

Looting the property and surplus food of innocent Korean civilians in Hedong County, wantonly slaughtering local people, ** women, and cutting off the heads of innocent Korean civilians to lie about military exploits, when this scandal spread in Daliang, the entire Wei people in Daliang were shocked.

Because I remember that at the earliest, the aristocratic forces of the East Palace Party, such as the Wang family, spared no effort to praise the East Palace and praise the wise decisions of the East Palace in Northern Xinjiang, but now, many people in the know have broken the news that Quwo, Linfen, Xintian, Qincheng, Tangxian and other places are not the lost territory recovered by the East Palace or the North First Army at all, it was the commander of the North Third Army, General Jiang Wei, who beat it, and it was the East Palace and the North First Army that brazenly snatched the exploits of the North Third Army.

And repelled the Qin army that invaded the western part of the Hedong Army, which was also the brazenness and boasting of the East Palace and the Northern First Army: the reason why the Qin army retreated was because the Qin State had an army of 200,000 people, and in Hangu in Sanchuan County, it was defeated by the army led by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and the whole army was annihilated.

This kind of remarks swept the entire Daliang, so that the military and people of Daliang finally understood the contribution made by the Northern First Army in Northern Xinjiang: that is, there was no contribution!

Even, instead of contributing, the Northern First Army also killed innocents indiscriminately and did many evils, which greatly damaged the image of the Wei people.

For a while, the Donggong Party, which was still in full swing some time ago, seemed to have suddenly become a rat crossing the street and the object of shameless scolding by the people of Daliang.

After learning about this, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, locked himself in the house, eating and drinking every day to relieve his boredom, and now the overwhelming negative public opinion in Daliang made him realize that he was finished this time, completely finished.

Seeing the lonely appearance of the crown prince Zhao Hongli, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan who came to persuade him, felt very angry.

"My brother...... How could he be on King Yong's side?! ”

Zhao Hongxuan hung down the table angrily, he knew that if it wasn't for his brother Su Wang Zhao Hongrun coming forward this time, which made King Yong's side rise sharply, the prince of the East Palace might still have some room for maneuver.

"I said, you shouldn't pull King Huan into the water......" On the side, Zhou Yu looked at Luo Ying with a smile.

Luo Ying was silent, he originally thought it was very good, as long as he let King Su Zhao Hongrun see that the crown prince Zhao Hongli handed over the Northern First Army to King Huan Zhao Hongxuan without reservation, that King Su saw the "sincerity" here, and he shouldn't say anything.

But after the incident of the Beiyi military camp incident, before he could let the King of Su see the "sincerity of the East Palace", the King of Su had already stood on the side of King Yong, kicked the East Palace fiercely, and kicked him down the abyss.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Ying said to the crown prince Zhao Hongli: "His Royal Highness the prince, there is still a chance to ......"

"......" Prince Zhao Hongli looked at Luo Ying blankly, and King Huan Zhao Hongxuan also asked with a little surprise: "What is Mr. Luo's opinion?" ”

"'The Book of Sins'!" Luo Ying Zhengse said: "In fact, the behavior of the Northern First Army was not instructed by His Royal Highness the Prince, this kind of thing can be seen by many people, but King Yong is now so strong that many people judge His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with prejudiced eyes." …… Therefore, I suggest that you might as well take all the blame and resign as the commander of the Northern First Army, and ......" He glanced at the crown prince Zhao Hongli, and then whispered: "And...... The honor of the prince of the East Palace. ”

"You...... You let the palace play on its own to invite the emperor and exempt yourself from the position of the East Palace? The crown prince Zhao Hongli looked at Luo Ying in disbelief.

You know, he has been the crown prince for more than ten or twenty years, if he loses this title, then what will he have left?

As if seeing through the mind of the crown prince Zhao Hongli, Luo Ying gritted her teeth and insisted: "This is the best way at the moment, if His Royal Highness the crown prince is willing to listen to the advice of his subordinates, then there may be a chance to make a comeback in the future...... You must know that except for King Su who attacked you because of personal grudges, the other King Yong, King Xiang, and King Qing, the reason why these three joined forces against you is only because you blocked their way, that is, the position of 'prince', but if you are no longer the prince, can they still be united? No, they will attack each other, so that no one will care about your highness anymore...... In this way, what you have lost, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is only the title of 'Crown Prince', and your power will not be damaged......"

Zhao Hongli, the crown prince of the East Palace, was thoughtful, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, and after taking a deep look at Luo Ying, he nodded slowly: "Luo Ying's trick is quite clever. ”

"What about the Northern First Army? The main palace said that it would be handed over to Hongxuan......" Prince Zhao Hongli said again.

Hearing this, Luo Ying said with a straight face: "Just take advantage of this matter to let His Royal Highness King Huan make a drastic rectification of the Northern First Army!" ”

"Then ...... That's it! Prince Zhao Hongli thought about it and nodded solemnly.

On the same day, the news spread in the Great Liang Imperial Court, saying that the prince of the East Palace was ashamed of his lax majesty, so that the Northern First Army did all kinds of ugly things, and in order to punish himself, he asked the Hanging Arch Hall to exempt himself from the title of "Prince of the East Palace".
