Long live the hall is the living hall of the palace, the newly expanded Guangzheng Hall decoration has not been fully completed, after the end of the early dynasty, Guo Rong returned to the Jinxiang Hall apse study as usual to read the chapter, there is nothing else recently, are a series of preparations around the southern expedition. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Nature.2

But today, Guo Rong was a little absent-minded, and turned his head to look at the window behind him from time to time, but this study was on the inside, and there was a beige curtain hanging behind the window, and when the breeze blew, he could occasionally see the soldiers in the inner temple guarding with guns and knives outside.

80,000 elite forbidden troops are concentrated in the Western School, if something happens, it will be dangerous, although Guo Rong also knows that the front division of the palace and the guard division are mutual checks and balances, Zhang Yue is a man who acts uprightly, and he has been in the northwest for a long time, and the first time the forbidden army of the school will not do anything out of the ordinary, but he is still a little uneasy in his heart.

Seeing that there was not much left of the chapter, Guo Rong put down his pen, leaned forward to sit on the back of the couch, rubbed his sour knuckles, and saw that Ma Renyu was shaking at the door outside, and whispered something to the attendant on duty, but he didn't come in.

"Come in! Can I help you? Guo Rong looked at the door and asked loudly.

"The last general obeys!" Ma Renyu agreed, strode in and clasped his fists and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty!" Li Taibao, the guard department, sent someone over to inform him, saying that it was Captain Zhang who ordered 80,000 soldiers on the west school field to go around the field a few times, but the west school field was so big, it was very crowded, and after the order was transmitted, the guard Si Longjie's left wing army made Han Benyong's reaction slow, and he was arrested and beaten with a hundred military sticks, but he was carried into the official room and died of serious injuries in less than half an hour! ”

"What? Han Benyong? This Zhang Yuanzhen ...... What nonsense! Whose man was the soldier who executed him, and was it heavy? Guo Rong was very angry when he heard this, I was worried, and you just made an accident.

This Han Benyong is Liu Congxue's brother-in-law, Liu Congzhi served as the envoy of Long Jie's left wing earlier, and Han Benyong served as the commander of the personal guard under Liu Congxue. And Liu Congzhi is Guo Rongyuan with the brother of Queen Zhenhui Liu, Liu died in the change of Qianyou, Guo Rong was already guilty in his heart, and he rewarded Liu Congzhi with kindness, and he didn't want this guy's character to be too bad.

"The end is not clear! Why don't you send someone to take a look? Ma Renyu asked.

"Go ahead!" Guo Rong waved his hand, killing a soldier is not a trivial matter, if it is not handled properly, the matter of the key forbidden army will fail, and there will be no way to reorganize the camp, and it is not easy to explain to Liu Congzhi! But after thinking about it, since this matter was entrusted to Zhang Yue, it was better for him to deal with the aftermath if something happened, so he was patient and continued to look through the book.

Not long after, Ma Renyu went to the West Church to see, and soon came back to report: "Your Majesty! The soldiers of the front division of the palace have returned to the camp, only the officers and the people of the guard division are still there, the situation is generally true, Han Benyong is indeed dead. However, Zhang Taiwei did not think that a hundred military sticks could kill people, and sent people to the Privy Council and Kaifeng Mansion to ask the magistrate who raised the prison to come to inspect the sentence, saying that he would be dissected on the spot, and he didn't want Li Chongjin to disagree. ”

How can that be? It's just a matter of beating to death with too much torture, but the bones are not cold and they have to be dissected? No wonder Li Chongjin didn't agree...... "Guo Rong slapped the case hard, his heart was furious, he completely understood Li Chongjin's embarrassment, if he agreed, it would really be discredited, how to bring the guards in the future, he got up at the moment, and said: "Set up the West Sect Field, go down and arrange it!" ”

It is not a trivial matter for the emperor to leave the palace, Ma Renyu turned around and went out when he heard the words, and prepared to go back to the official room on duty to order the attendants, and notify the inner chamberlain to prepare the entourage, as well as the honor guard. As soon as I arrived at the side hall, I saw an attendant hurrying over with Liu Congxue, who seemed to have come to see Guo Rong.

Liu Congxue, who is nearly forty years old, has become fair-skinned, fat, and has a bulging belly that makes a purple robe round, but his steps are not slow, and he walks extremely fast. When he saw Ma Renyu coming, he clasped his fists from afar, but his face was gloomy, and he was obviously in no mood to say anything.

Ma Renyu and Liu Congxue just knew each other, and had no friendship, so they were going to tell him that the official family was going to the Western School to deal with this matter, but when they saw Liu Congxue walking fast, they didn't speak, and swallowed back the words that came to their mouths.

Liu Congzhi was thinking about it, he was a little anxious, his wife and brother were beaten to death, and the mother-in-law Han was crying endlessly when she knew it. In the second year of Guangshun, he led his troops to Hebei to block the Liao army from going south, Zhang Yue as a small militia to kill Gao Mohan, he had such a great achievement but was unwilling to serve himself, but leaned on He Fujin and his son.

After Zhang Yue was appreciated by the first emperor, Liu Congyu was resentful, and he had already done bad things about Zhang Yue several times, but seeing that Zhang Yue had made meritorious contributions in recent years, his prestige was increasing, and he was quite trusted today, and he lost the power of the forbidden army, so he put these old grudges aside.

I don't want Zhang Yue to take revenge immediately as soon as he returns to Beijing this time, and then order the school forbidden army, Liu Congzhi thought in his heart, no matter what, he would take Zhang Yue down, let out a bad breath, and give Li Chongjin a face. The reason why he knew so quickly was that Li Chongjin sent someone to inform him and asked him to cry and complain.

Led by the chamberlain into the apse study, the emperor had already left, and the chamberlain on duty inside asked him to wait, saying that the emperor had gone to change his clothes and would come to meet him later. Liu Congxu sat down and waited, thinking in his heart how to tell the emperor about this later.

Guo Rong went back to the palace and changed into a purple gauze robe, and soon walked back, thinking in his heart: Is this too coincidental, Ma Renyu reported on the front foot, and Liu Congyu entered the palace on the back foot, the degree is really fast!

And Ma Renyu also said just now, Han Benyong was slow to react...... only suffered a hundred military sticks, etc., Guo Rong understood when he thought about it, dare to love because Han Benyong refused to obey orders, Zhang Yue wanted to stand up for power! And it makes sense. What's strange is that how can a hundred military sticks be killed? Han Ben is strong and strong, he can usually shoot a five-bucket bow with one stone, and a hundred military sticks are simply tickling!

Thinking of this, Guo Rong was taken aback, and saw that he had walked to the door of the study in the apse but suddenly stopped, at this time he ran to the West Church, and Zhang Yue couldn't handle this matter properly, Li Chongjin would definitely not listen to him in the future, and Zhang Yongde, the former secretary of the palace, would naturally not obey, which was a big violation of the original intention!

Guo Rong suddenly turned around and walked out of the apse, strode down the steps, and returned to the Zide Hall in steps, and then said to the attendant behind him: "Go and pass on my message, let Liu Congzhi go back and wait for the news, I will give him an explanation for this matter!" ”

When the chamberlain heard this, he trotted and rushed back to the Jinxiang Hall to preach the message, Liu Congyu immediately cried when he heard it, and he sat on the railing of the corridor outside the Jinxiang Hall and cried his sister Empress Liu. Guo Rong was disgusted when he heard it, but he was a little ashamed, so he rewarded him with a set of gold and silver wine vessels, robes, and a pair of jade belts, and asked the waiter to beat him back.
