Huo Wufeng would rather believe that the sow will go to the tree, and he will not believe in Xuanyuan Shengcai's words, of course, the first martial arts family of the empire is not in vain, the Xuanyuan family has made great achievements for the establishment of the empire, for the great cause of His Majesty the Emperor, there are not a few children of the Xuanyuan family who died on the battlefield, and no one will doubt the weight of the Xuanyuan family in the emperor's heart.

Once upon a time, many people felt that His Majesty the Emperor was more favored by the Anguo Gong family, and handed over the financial power of the empire to the hands of the Anguo Gong family, and even handed over the Wujingwei of the garrison capital to the Huang family.

But after the Tsuba incident, people's thoughts immediately disappeared.

The Anguo clan no longer exists, while the Yiguo clan still stands at the top of the empire.

Xuanyuan Shao is the commander of the Guards, but the garrison is the safety of the palace.

Xuanyuan Sheng is the son of the Xuanyuan clan who stands out, his ability is second only to his cousin Xuanyuan Shao, although the official position is not high now, but if he really shoots a partial general here, no one will doubt that he will be safe and sound, the emperor of the empire, of course, will not punish the rising star of the Xuanyuan clan because of a small partial general.

Huo Wufeng understood this truth, so he knew that Xuanyuan Shengcai's words were not alarmist, and with endless anger, he could only hand over the knife and enter the mansion.

In the main hall of the General's Mansion, the officials were staring at each other, Huo Wufeng and Han Ying had also taken their seats, and in the face of absolute strength, Huo Wufeng really didn't dare to make too many moves before things were clear.

Han Ying's eyes and nose and nose looked at his heart, since he entered the main hall and saw Chu Huan, after he sat down, he was like an old monk who settled down, did not say a word, and did not even squint.

Chu Huan didn't seem to be ready to let things clean up so quickly, although everyone present didn't have tea to drink, but the Governor of Chu was naturally an unusual person, holding the freshly brewed tea, tasting it with great taste, as if the most important thing now was not to discuss anything serious, but to taste tea patiently.

The ugly time has passed, when he entered Yin, the sky was slightly bright, and Fang Rushui, the partial general of the Redemption Battalion, finally came, he was born in the Northwest Army, and he was not a descendant of Dongfang Xin, he seemed to be a kind and honest person, honestly worshipped, sat down honestly, and then learned Han Ying, and the old monk entered the meditation.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Xiong Ruhai was carried to the main hall on a stretcher, and when he saw the four major generals of the Pingxi Army guarding Shuoquan City, all the officials knew that something big must have happened.

Xiong Ruhai was seriously injured by Qin Lei's punch, only a few days have passed, and he still can't get out of bed, when he came to the main hall, he saw a full seat of officials, Chu Huan was high, not Dongfang Xin was sitting in the main seat, Xiong Ruhai already knew that things had changed, but at this time he was helpless, the governor was very sympathetic to this injured general, so he let him lie on the stretcher.

When the four generals arrived, Chu Huan put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Everything that should have arrived has arrived, and the things that should be done have to be done, please come to the four of you tonight, you are only afraid that you are very confused, and you don't know what the governor wants to do." After a pause, he still said with a smile: "Originally, although the governor is the governor of Xiguan Province, he is in charge of political affairs, and the Pingxi Army is subordinate to the imperial court, not the local army, and the governor has no right to meddle in military affairs......!" ”

Huo Wufeng held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say at this time: "Chu Du knows the law of the imperial court, that's great, since the four of us are here, of course, for military affairs, military affairs are handled by General Dongfang, since there is a discussion, General Dongfang naturally wants to be present, dare to ask Governor Chu, why has General Dongfang not appeared for a long time?" ”

Chu Huan turned his eyes to Huo Wufeng, and said lightly: "I'm sorry to tell a few people that tonight's deliberation will be presided over by this governor, and Dongfang Xin is afraid that he will not be able to participate." ”

"Why?" Huo Wufeng frowned.

Chu Huan sighed: "Dongfang Xin instructed the assassin to assassinate Dong Zhizhou, but the matter was revealed, he resisted arrest and fled, and he was killed on the spot by the governor, so he can no longer participate in the proceedings. ”

As soon as these words came out, Huo Wufeng Huo Ran stood up, his face changed drastically, Xiong Ruhai was lying on the stretcher, and he was also terrified when he heard the words, and he forced himself to sit up, but his body had not yet sat up, and he was injured in internal organs, and he was in severe pain, and he lay down again.

"Chu Du, there are some jokes that can't be made." Huo Wufeng clenched his fists, "You mean, General Dongfang is dead?" ”

Chu Huan said lightly: "Although the governor likes to joke, but he won't joke tonight, General Huo Bi, please pay attention to your title, Dongfang Xinxing assassinated the imperial court official, he is a thief who plots rebellion, this title of Dongfang general, this governor advises you not to use it." ”

Huo Wufeng's body trembled slightly, his eyes widened, and the main hall was as silent as death, and after a while, Huo Wufeng sat down dejectedly and said, "Dong Zhizhou was assassinated, and Dongfang was killed...... This...... How is this possible? ”

"Sometimes, the least likely thing happens." Chu Huan sighed: "This matter is not seen by this governor alone, before and after the incident, all the officials present are clear, and the assassin has already identified it on the spot, Dongfang Xin is afraid of the crime and resists arrest......!" Turning to the officials, he asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are all witnesses to this matter, and I wonder if what the Governor said is wrong?" ”

The officials looked at each other, and some of them said in unison: "What Chu Du said is very true, and it is exactly so. "There are a few Zhu Party officials who are hesitant, although Chu Huan has the advantage at this time, but the four major generals are here, these people still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and they only hope to be able to reverse the situation.

"The assassin that Chu Du said doesn't know where he is now?" Huo Wufeng asked again.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "The assassin who assassinated Dong Shizhen, you are no stranger, he is Zhao Xin, the director of the Ministry of War, who was originally derelict in his duties and absconded, but he went and repeatedly, and was ordered by Dongfang Xin to assassinate the governor and Lord Dong at the birthday banquet, and the governor survived, but Lord Dong was unfortunately killed......!" He shook his head and sighed.

"Yes...... It's Zhao Xin......! Huo Wufeng's face was like ashes.

If it was someone else, Huo Wufeng might still suspect that this was Chu Huan's conspiracy, but outsiders all knew that Zhao Xin was Dongfang Xin's fellow countryman, over the years, Zhao Xin was submissive to Dongfang Xin, in the eyes of outsiders, he was a dog under Dongfang Xin, as far as Dongfang Xin and Zhao Xin's personal grievances, not many people really knew the inside story, and very few people knew that Zhao Xin was enduring humiliation, thinking about revenge day and night, Zhao Xin was assassinated, Huo Wufeng also felt that this was inseparable from Dongfang Xin.

And he also knew that Dongfang Xin hated Chu Huan to the core, and it was not difficult to understand that he sent someone to assassinate Chu Huan.

"The evidence is conclusive, and there is no need to say more about this matter." Chu Huan said solemnly: "Please invite the four of you to come over tonight, and all your colleagues are here, just to discuss the affairs of the Pingxi Army." Since the governor is the governor of Xiguan Province, and the Pingxi army is in Xiguan, the governor can only stand up, even if it is criticized, he must help the Pingxi army deal with this matter. ”

Huo Wufeng opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything after all, he looked at Han Ying and Fang Rushui, these two generals had an expression that didn't care about themselves, as if they were like a sea, Huo Wufeng really didn't think he could play any role.

"A country cannot be without a king for a day, and an army cannot be without a commander." Chu Huan said slowly: "The Pingxi army has a heavy responsibility, not only to garrison the West Pass, but also to clean up the bandits, without a commander, it can't be done, even if the governor is now in the imperial court, for a moment and a half, the appointment of the imperial court will not arrive immediately, so we must negotiate a new Pingxi general tonight, I don't know what a few people think?" ”

Huo Wufeng frowned and said, "I don't know how Chu Du wants to discuss?" ”

Chu Huan picked up the teacup, took a sip, put down the teacup, and then said slowly: "Originally, since Dongfang Xin is gone, but the Pingxi Army is still there, and there are eight battalion generals, the best way is, of course, to choose one from the eight battalion generals." But the other four battalions are far away from Shuoquan, and in desperation, the four of you generals will be selected by one person after consultation tonight. ”

Huo Wufeng said suspiciously: "Chu Du's words, the last general is still not clear, you said that the four of us will discuss, whether the new commander will be selected from the generals of the Pingxi Army?" ”

"Of course you can, as long as you are loyal to the imperial court, have a good command of the troops, and have a noble character, he can naturally temporarily serve as General Pingxi." Chu Huan said slowly: "Before the appointment of the imperial court, the commander you elected will temporarily lead the Pingxi Army!" Glaring at Huo Wufeng with a smile, "If you Huo Bi feel that you are suitable, you can also nominate yourself, and everyone will discuss!" ”

"Me?" Huo Wufeng was stunned.

"Of course." Chu Huan laughed, then shook his head, and said, "No, General Huo Bi, I'm afraid that you are not qualified to serve as General Pingxi......!" ”

Huo Wufeng sneered: "Didn't Chu Du just say that the generals of our Pingxi Army can be the commanders?" ”

"Others don't know, but you really can't." Chu Huan said solemnly: "This governor said, in addition to being loyal to the imperial court, commanding the troops well, but also having a noble character, since you Huo Bi General is a general of the imperial court, you must be very loyal to the imperial court, if you are very good at commanding the army, since Dongfang Xin promoted you, there must be a place above ordinary people, but your Huo Bi General's character is ......!" He didn't continue, just shook his head.

Huo Wufeng was annoyed in his heart, and sneered: "Chu Du, what do you mean, the last general doesn't understand, I don't know what is wrong with the last general's character?" ”

"If you don't want anyone to know, you can't do it unless you do." Chu Huan sighed: "General Huo Bi, this governor wants to leave you face, but you don't want it yourself, you have to say it in public!" ”

"The last general is a soldier, he doesn't like to hide it, if Chu Du has something to say, just say it." Huo Wufeng stood up and said, "The last general really wants to know what went wrong with his character!" ”

Chu Huan sighed: "Since you insist on doing this, this governor will have something to say." Looking at Xuanyuan Shengcai, who was guarding the gate of the main hall, he ordered: "Xuanyuan, bring him up!" ”
