Chapter 146: (Li Yanqing's Crisis)

Ten days later, Beiping City, Dayan Palace

"Ahh

With a shout, the case table flew out from the royal platform, and the music on it was sprinkled all over the ground, Yuan Jingchu looked angrily at the surviving soldiers kneeling below to deliver the news, and asked angrily: "Why don't you protect King Ding?" ”

Kneeling below is Yuan Shijie's cronies and guards, because he changed into civilian clothes on the way to Cangzhou and took off his military uniform, which escaped Cao Zhen's pursuit, otherwise he would be like everyone else, killed by the cavalry in the middle of the road, it is because of that battle, the corpses are all over the field, Cangzhou to Yanshan area broke out a large area of plague, because the dead soldiers' corpses were not collected, resulting in the outbreak of the plague, no one within a radius of fifty miles, even Cangzhou, has become an empty city.

"Back... Back to the emperor, our army was not only attacked by the enemy's witchcraft, but also suffered a sudden impact of the cavalry, because our army fought for a day, everyone was exhausted, those cavalry condescending, energetic, in a short time broke through our military formation, resulting in the defeat of the whole army, the king also committed suicide in the siege of the enemy, the last general is guilty, although ten thousand deaths can not repay the king, but the last general kept this life, is to convey a message back, let the emperor give the king revenge. ”

Yuan Jingchu recovered from the initial anger and asked, "What's the news?" ”

"Back to the emperor, our army broke the main force of 600,000 troops in the battle of Yanshan, and the necessary factor was that Pingxiang Hou led our 100,000 cavalry to rush down from Yanshan, thus winning the battle..."

"And then?" Yuan Jingchu had doubts in his heart, he naturally knew that this guard would not say this for no reason, now was his life and death, he would not talk nonsense with Yuan Jingchu about inconsequential matters.

"This time our army has taken the lead, and the enemy army is under our siege, but at dusk, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Cheng Dynasty army suddenly swooped down from the salt mountain, so our army was defeated, which led to this defeat, and King Ding also committed suicide..."

"The same situation, the same result, could it be..."Yuan Jingchu didn't dare to say the conjecture in his heart, just looked at the guard, silently reading, and the ministers in the court didn't dare to say much, they all looked at Yuan Jingchu.

The guard suddenly thought of something, so he raised his head and continued: "Shangguan Yin Feng once talked to King Ding, saying that King Ding was not his opponent, and that King Ding was just like what Pingxiang Hou said, he was a real hero. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court shook, and all the ministers were whispering, Yuan Jingchu didn't dare to imagine, he guessed that he already had some eyebrows, but now he didn't dare to directly confirm: "Can you be sure that Shangguan Yin Feng said Li Yanqing?" ”

"Your Majesty, the last general was beside King Ding at that time, and I heard their conversation clearly, and Shangguan Yin Feng directly called out the three words 'Li Wenruo'."

"Li Wenruo..."'Wenruo' is Li Yanqing's expression, Yuan Jingchu naturally knows this matter in his heart, and he can be called so close, it seems that Li Yanqing really has a connection with Shangguan Yin Feng.

After hearing the words of the guards, the ministers in the court talked even more, and the officials who were dissatisfied with Li Yanqing even more directly said: "Your Majesty, Shangguan Yin Feng can call Li Yanqing's cousin, which is naturally close to Li Yanqing, and this defeat is defeated at the last moment, so, it must be Li Yanqing who taught Shangguan Yin Feng, otherwise how dare Shangguan Yin Feng sneak attack Cangzhou with a mere 50,000 people, and in turn defeat King Ding in Yanshan." ”

"That's right, the emperor, if there is not an internal ghost, how dare Shangguan Yin Feng act like this, he is the pillar of the Cheng Dynasty, even if he is willing, those old ministers will not agree, if there is no certainty of victory, then how dare Shangguan Yin Feng attack Cangzhou so indiscriminately."

"Needless to say, Your Majesty, Weichen suggested that Li Yanqing be captured directly and tortured, and the matter will naturally come to light."

"Lord Zhang, Sun Tzu once left the 'Thirty-six Strategies' of the Art of War, is it only allowed to be used by Pingxiang Hou?"

"Lord Liu, what do you mean by this, making it clear that you are protecting Li Yanqing?"

"Master Zhang, on the matter, how can you arrest people casually without any evidence, and you are still a marquis, how can you convince the public when you spread it?"

"What Lord Liu said is..."

The two factions who supported Li Yanqing and those who wanted to completely defeat Li Yanqing began to argue in the court and almost got into a fight.

"That's enough..."Yuan Jingchu shouted angrily, looked at the guards kneeling below, and asked, "What else did you say besides those?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Shangguan Yin Feng also said that Pingxianghou was his confidant, said, said..."

"Say what?" Yuan Jingchu shouted angrily.

"Said that if it weren't for my infighting, otherwise I wouldn't have sent King Gaoyang to Anyang to supervise the army, etc., if Li Yanqing was there, he would definitely still be in Anyang, and even said that Pingxianghou had drunk with him..."

The words of this guard in front are true, but the words in the back are obviously lies, the reason is very clear, that is, he wants to destroy Li Yanqing, when Yuan Shijie was still alive, he was the only one who opposed dealing with Li Yanqing, and now that he is dead, the Bao Li faction has completely lost its backbone, how is it the opponent of those who want to bring down Li Yanqing, and this guard is one of those people.

"Presumptuous..."Yuan Jingchu heard the end, and he didn't care whether the matter was true or not, so he asked, "Where is Li Yanqing now?" What's unusual? ”

"Back to the emperor, the Marquis of Pingxiang is now living a farming life in a small village under his fiefdom, and there is no abnormal behavior." An official stood up in line and said to Yuan Jingchu.

"Your Majesty, if the Marquis of Pingxiang is really innocent, how can there be more than a thousand guards to go to Lijia Village to farm together, isn't it unclear about things?"

It was the last sentence of this official that made Yuan Jingchu completely disappointed in Li Yanqing, even if he believed it, he couldn't compare it with his son: "Immediately send someone to Pingxiang and tell the guards that Li Yanqing is arrested, and I will personally interrogate him." ”

"Whoa..."

"Please think twice," said the official of the Bao Li faction, standing in line.

"Needless to say, this matter will be handled by Prime Minister Zuo, and he will retreat from the court..."Yuan Jingchu waved his hand, and left the hall with the support of the inner servant.

When night fell, Beiping City was in a magnificent house

"Take the emperor's edict and tell the Pingxiang guard general Chen Zu that there is no need to leave a living mouth, just bring back Li Yanqing's head directly, and leave the rest to the prime minister."

"Whoa..."

Another mansion in Beiping City

"Take the official's letter, remember, be sure to hand it over to Pingxianghou, tell him, don't be rash, remember, you must hand it over to Pingxianghou, and if you encounter an accident halfway, you must destroy this letter."

"It's my lord, I must do a good job..."

Three days later, Pingxiang County

The two groups of people rushed to Pingxiang County one after another, one group directly entered Pingxiang County, while the other group went to Lijia Village, which belongs to Pingxiang County, which is about 20 miles away from Pingxiang County, and the location is relatively remote.

Pingxiang County Lieutenant General's Mansion

"General Chen, this official has been ordered by the Prime Minister to come to deliver the emperor's decree to you." The stout military marquis pointed to the yellow cloth in his hand towards Chen Zu: "Pingxiang guard Chen Zu takes the order." ”

"The last general, Chen Zu, take the order...", Chen Zu knelt down as he spoke.

"Holy Message: Pingxiang Marquis Li Yanqing secretly surrendered to the enemy, and ordered Pingxiang Guard General Chen Zu to go to arrest him immediately, and he admired this."

"The last will take the order..."

As soon as Chen Zu received the holy decree, the stout military marquis leaned over and said, "General Chen, the emperor has decreed that if Li Yanqing or his village guards resist, they will be killed on the spot." ”

"What?" Chen Zu looked surprised, this is a big deal, no matter how you say that Li Yanqing is also a marquis, since he has already issued an order to arrest him, it is also for Yuan Jingchu to be sent down, since he has already given the holy decree, why do you still have to give an edict: "Did the angel pass on the wrong order?" ”

The stout marquis shook his head: "When the envoy left, the emperor said it himself. "A lie, a big lie.
