Chapter 420: Picking up an official position

Xiao Qingyu broke out in a cold sweat, if there were no state officials present, maybe Zuo Xiang and King Qi would have been helping him to speak in order to win him over, but now, there is a Zhao Xun, and there are more than a dozen governors and Xuanfu envoys in the main hall, and it is obvious that no one will stand up for him.

"The minister is wronged! The things that the minister played were all the words of Yu De alone. The minister did not give Yu De an order, and the minister was confused......"

"Wronged or not, it's not up to you to have the final say, come and summon the four generals of Qianniuwei to enter the palace!" Emperor Xuanwu said angrily. Suddenly, he found that now his rights have been strengthened, and he is no longer a marionette like before, and he can't even get together the weapons and equipment of the Praetorian Guard.

A moment later, Yu De walked in. Well, it recovered quickly, and there was no sign of being beaten at all.

Pushing the jade pillar to kneel, three shouts long live.

"Yu De, three days ago, did you go to the east of the city to intercept the war horse of the champion general?"

"Minister...... The minister did go to intercept the champion general's war horse! But that was General Xiao Qingyu's military order, saying that he must take down this war horse. Yu De said urgently.

"Yu De, you...... You ......" Xiao Qingyu looked at Yu De beside him in disbelief. He couldn't have imagined that the subordinate he defended in every possible way was the one who talked about pushing himself into the abyss.

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, wronged! The minister has never issued a military order, this is Yu De's private doing, Your Majesty is clear! Xiao Qingyu cried repeatedly.

All the officials in the hall looked at Zhao Xun, and they didn't expect Yu De to betray Xiao Qingyu. You must know that Qianniuwei is unique, and he has never taken the emperor's military orders seriously. It stands to reason that whether it is Xiao Qingyu's military order or not, they will not admit it, and Yu De will not admit it. But now, Yu De cleanly admitted Zhao Xun's accusation, but instead dealt the final blow to Xiao Qingyu.

However, everyone also saw the astonishment on Zhao Xun's face, indicating that he didn't know either, and they couldn't believe it.

Isn't it Zhao Xun's doing? The officials thought.

That's right, how can Zhao Xun have the ability to buy Yu De, you know, because of Xiao Qingyu's storage, King Qi and Murong Chengdu did not attack Qianniuwei. It's not that the two are incapable, but after the two of them shared the rights equally, they didn't want the other party to strengthen again, so they deliberately left a guard army that neither side had won. But then again, this Qianniu Guard is not very strong, better than the Praetorian Guard, but much worse than the other guards.

Does it really have nothing to do with Zhao Xun? Except for Yu De and Zhao Xun himself, no one can say clearly.

"Oh? Xiao Qingyu, are you saying that the champion general, the right minister, and your subordinate Yu De are lying? Emperor Xuanwu said quietly.

"The minister was wronged, and the minister did not issue such a military order! 陛xià Mingcha! "Just kidding, once you admit it, what will happen well?

"Wronged? Come on, pull it down, behead outside the palace gate! Emperor Xuanwu said sharply.

"Wait!" "Wait!" Two voices sounded one after the other, one rough and majestic, the other old and sharp.

When Emperor Xuanwu heard this, his face turned dark. Wait? Wait, this is the tone of the courtiers to the emperor? Emperor Xuanwu really wanted to pull the two bastards down and behead them together at this moment. But he knew that it wouldn't work, just thinking about it.

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Xuanwu said slowly: "What else do King Qi and Zuo Xiang have to say?" ”

The two of them were King Qi and Zuo Xiang, and the two of them naturally didn't want to see Emperor Xuanwu take the unique Qianniuwei into his hands, so they naturally wanted to stop Emperor Xuanwu's rapid edict.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that only Yu De's one-sided words are not enough to win the trust." Murong Cheng said coldly.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Situ Lei also followed.

"Could it be that the words of the right minister and the champion general are not enough to win the trust? Could it be that the King of Qi also thinks that the champion general and the right minister are united to deceive everyone? Emperor Xuanwu sneered.

Murong Cheng's face darkened, and he said: "That's not what the minister meant, the champion general and the right minister naturally didn't lie, but this is just Yu De's one-sided words." As for whether General Xiao Qingyu issued such a military order, it needs to be verified separately. ”

"How to verify? If Yu De only said that it was General Xiao Qingyu's military order after being punished by the champion general's cane, it means that it still needs to be verified. But Yu De went straight to the east gate and bluntly said that he was ordered by Xiao Qingyu, a thousand cows, and this still needs a verification code? Could it be that Yu De dared to falsely pass on military orders at will? Xiao Qingyu shouldn't be beheaded? A general's military order, dare to compare with the holy oracle, what does he want to do? Cheng Fuzhi said in a cold voice.

"The right minister is not right, everything needs to be done to the best. If it was true, it was natural to kill Xiao Qingyu. What if Damien was wronged? Isn't it another unjust case? As officials, we should not make mistakes lightly. Situ Lei said with a smile.

"The minister has evidence, when the order was issued that day, the other three generals of Qianniuwei were also present at the same time, they can prove that the minister did not lie!" At this moment, Yu De said again.

"Xuan!" Emperor Xuanwu said with a gloomy face.

A moment later, the three generals were proclaimed to the temple. All the officials focused on these three people, Xiao Qingyu was full of hope, hoping that the three of them would prove themselves, while Situ Lei and Murong Cheng frowned.

"Things don't seem to be as I imagined, what's wrong?" Situ Lei pondered.

Murong Cheng also found that things were a little out of control.

"Minister, Qianniuwei General Xin Ziyang (Li Dexing, Fang Yu) knock to see my emperor's majesty, long live long live, long live!"

"Excuse me, flat! Three generals, Yu De went to intercept the team of champion generals three days ago, was it a military order from General Xiao Qingyu? Emperor Xuanwu asked in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the three of them.

"It is indeed a military order from General Xiao Qingyu! Afterwards, he was also ready to give an order for the whole army of Qianniuwei to attack and take revenge on the champion general. After a while, Xin Ziyang was the first to speak.

"The minister also confirmed that it was General Xiao Qingyu's military order!" Fang Yu also said coldly.

Li Dexing's face turned red, and he said bitterly for a while: "The minister is also sure that it is General Xiao Qingyu's military order." ”

"You...... You guys...... Why is this happening? Xiao Qingyu's face turned pale for a moment. He never imagined that his trusted subordinates would turn their faces and deny people so quickly. If you don't help yourself, you don't say anything, and you push yourself into the abyss.

"It seems that the matter has become clear, Xiao Qingyu is extremely evil, and he privately intercepted the war horse that the champion general presented to His Majesty, not to mention, but also tried to compete with His Majesty, and he should be punished! What do Zuo Xiang and King Qi think? Cheng Fuzhi said with a smile. Cheng Fuzhi, who is squinted into a line, is really cool at the moment, he can't be more cool, every time he forces me, this time, it's time for me to vent.

"This ......" Situ Lei was depressed for a while, he couldn't have imagined that the four generals of Qianniuwei would join forces to turn the sky upside down.

"Could it be that the left minister thinks that the courtiers who dare to compete with His Majesty should not be punished?" Cheng Fuzhi came closely.

Of course, Zuo Xiang's meaning is not like this, with Zuo Xiang's character, how can he do such an unkind thing. What do you say? Zhao Xun said with a smile.

"Of course, this kind of person naturally cannot go unpunished." Situ Lei sighed secretly and said slowly.

"It seems that we are all careless and negligent, this Zhao Xun is definitely related to the conspiracy of these four generals to push down Xiao Qingyu. Since Zhao Xun entered Luoyang, although we have always paid attention, we still let him do great things. This son should not be underestimated! In his heart, Situ Lei directly promoted Zhao Xun to the opponent in the highest position.

Zhao Xun turned to Emperor Xuanwu and said: "Your Majesty, what Zuo Xiang means is that Xiao Qingyu is extremely evil, and he should be punished by the Nine Clans!" Please respond to the will of the left minister, and punish the nine clans for such rebellious people who do not respect the emperor's order and have no monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons! ”

"Ah......" The officials understood that this champion general was going to kill Xiao Qingyu's family with the help of Zuo Xiang's hand.

Emperor Xuanwu hurriedly appeared out of the corner of his eyes, and shouted: "Where is the Imperial Forest Army, pull Xiao Qingyu out of the palace gate and behead him!" Yu De, Xin Ziyang, Li Dexing, Fang Yu, and Er were the supervisors and beheaded officials, leading the Imperial Forest Army to kill Xiao Qingyu's nine clans. ”

Yu De, Xin Ziyang, Li Dexing, and Fang Yu turned pale, but they also knew that they had to do it, and they had to do it if they didn't do it. Now that you have chosen the camp, you have to do a defective thing to make everyone believe.

"Yes!" The four of them took the order and left.

"Fang De, Xin Ziyang, Li Dexing, Fang Yu, you four bastards, you actually betrayed me. Murong Cheng, you promised me, as long as I sue Zhao Xun, you guarantee that I will be fine! You don't believe what you say......" A terrible scream came from outside the hall, farther and farther away.

Everyone in the main hall suddenly focused their eyes on the faces of Zhao Xun and Murong Cheng, the king of Qi.

Murong Cheng's face was dark, and Zhao Xun had an inexplicable smile, glancing at Murong Cheng from time to time.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Qingyu is dead, shouldn't General Qianniuwei choose another meritorious?" Cheng Fuzhi saw the strange plot of the hall, shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a deep voice.

"The minister recommends Situ Haonan! Situ Haonan, as a general of Jin Wuwei, is strict in governing the army, which is enough to be the general of Qianniuwei. The Left Prime Party recommended it, and then there was a large number of seconded voices.

"The minister recommended Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun is the general of the Shence Army, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time, has killed countless enemies, and has made great achievements, which is enough to serve as the general of Qianniuwei." This is the recommendation of the Qi Wang Party, and then, it is also a large number of conformities.

With the exception of a very few officials and local officials in the states on the right, the rest began to argue.

Looking at the hall like the vegetable market, Zhao Xun couldn't help but be speechless. At first, these officials only introduced the people they had promoted, but later, they began to tear each other down and explore each other's shortcomings. Soon, it was about to turn into scolding.

The scene of Situ Lei and King Qi's two parties not giving in to each other and fighting for life and death suddenly made Cheng Fuzhi, who recommended the imperial party, secretly shake his head. Don't say whether the imperial party has the ability to lead the troops, even these two parties will not let it.

Seeing Cheng Fuzhi shaking his head, how could Emperor Xuanwu not know that he finally seized the opportunity, but let him slip away from his eyes.

"The minister recommended the champion general Zhao Xun, who is comparable to General Zhao's achievements? General Zhao is dressed in cloth, with the battalion soldiers as a ladder, strolling through the green clouds, it can be seen that the general's training ability, who can compare? Qianniuwei is the army guarding the imperial capital, and it is not a heroic person like a general who can take on it. Cheng Fuzhi said suddenly.

The loss hall was silent, this Zhao Xun has a lot of ability, but what everyone values more is his ruthlessness, first he punished General Qianniuwei with a cane in public, and then brought down General Qianniuwei, who dares to object, if they are not careful, they are the next person to kill the nine clans.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Now, what is even more surprising is that King Qi took the lead in speaking.

"The minister believes that the general of Qianniuwei can be the general of the non-champion general."

"Champion General, you won't think what Xiao Qingyu said before, right?" Murong Cheng said with a smile.

Since you can't meddle, let someone who can intervene settle in. What's more, Murong Cheng saw that Zhao Xun seemed to be extremely incompatible with Situ Lei, and in Youzhou and northern Hebei, he killed the Tiqi Division. In that case, let's join forces.

"Of course, what a villain like Xiao Qingyu said, how could I think it was true. Perhaps, someone is stirring up our strife, what does King Qi think? Zhao Xun also responded with a smile.

"Yes, the champion general has a point." As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Situ Lei.

Situ Lei's face darkened, to be honest, he still didn't understand why Zhao Xun had to go against him. However, both the King of Qi and the Imperial Party agreed, and it was useless for him to oppose it.

"Okay, edict, there is the champion general Zhao Xun, who also serves as the general of Qianniuwei."

"Thank you! The minister should have done his best to die and repay the emperor's grace! Zhao Xun said respectfully.

Although it was very unexpected to take this appointment on his head, and even the disadvantages were not small, but for Zhao Xun, the benefits were even greater, and the Xiaoguo army outside the city could also quietly arrange nearly a thousand Niu Wei troops.
