"No evidence!" Zhang Xuan shook his head, he didn't want to involve the Qinghe Cui clan.

Pei Ju understood Zhang Xuan's difficulties in his heart, and he no longer asked about it, and said after a deep sigh: "This time I came to Hu'er to go to prison really shocked the government and the opposition, which was very unexpected, at least I didn't expect it." ”

"Pei Shangshu also thinks that the general is not guilty of this?"

Pei Ju didn't answer directly, but smiled and said: "A few years ago, when he attacked Tuyuhun, Xue Shixiong attacked Yiwu, and at that time, the saint also ordered him to withdraw his troops, but he said that he would not accept the orders of the foreign monarch and refused to withdraw his troops until he captured Yiwu City. ”

Zhang Xuan understood what Pei Ju meant, the time has changed, the country has weakened, and Yang Guang's mentality has also changed.

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that the saint already has a strong sense of crisis in his heart. ”

Pei Ju nodded, "That's what you said, in the heart of the saint, whether the general is loyal or not is much more important than whether Goguryeo surrenders, and your merits are really not important to the saint." ”

"And what will happen in the end?"

"Now no one knows, the Holy One is still thinking about who to judge and protect the child, and he can't take care of you, so wait with peace of mind! I don't think the Holy One will go too far. ”

Zhang Xuan sighed, "I hope the Holy Lord doesn't make the soldiers feel too cold." ”

Pei Ju picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea slowly, he thought about it, and said slowly: "That's it!" I'll find a chance to mention your matter to the saint in two days, I can't help too many people, for the sake of friendship in the grassland, I will try to help you. ”

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "Thank you Pei Shangshu, Zhang Xuan is grateful." ”

Pei Ju smiled, "I always thought that we had fate, so what was the difficulty." Just let me know and I'll do my best to help you out. ”

"Shangshu helps, and the humble position will be remembered in my heart."

Zhang Xuan said goodbye and left, and Pei Ju fell into deep thought. At this time, his grandson Pei Xin came back and saluted: "Grandfather, he is gone. ”

Pei Ju glanced at his grandson, smiled slightly and asked, "What do you think of this person?" ”

Pei Xin thought for a while and said: "This person is calm and confident, and he has a general's temperament between his gestures, and his grandson thinks he is quite different." ”

Pei Ju smiled and said, "You are very discerning." Xin'er, if you have time to associate with him a lot, it is best to have a deep friendship with him, this person may be very useful to our family in the future. ”

"That's why my grandfather decided to help him."

"Exactly!"

Pei Xin hurriedly bowed down and said, "Grandson understands what grandfather meant." ”

"Go and fetch me the thrift."

Not long after, Pei Xin took a burly young man into the outer study, this person is called Pei Xingjian, is the best in Pei's martial arts, strong martial arts, meticulous as a hair, he and his brother Pei Xingyan and two other Pei disciples are known as Pei's four fierce generals.

Pei Xingyan followed his father into the army. And Pei Xingjian followed the head of the family and was Pei Ju's right-hand man.

Pei Xingjian walked into the room and knelt down on one knee, "Xingjian sees the head of the family!" ”

Pei Ju glanced at his grandson, Pei Xin understood, and slowly retreated.

Pei Ju then asked: "What did I ask you to check, what happened?" ”

"The head of the Qi family, Xing Jian can basically confirm that the prophecy is indeed spread by the Yuan family, but they are secretive, and it is difficult to catch them."

Pei Ju had to talk to himself. "Sure enough, as the old man expected, there was infighting in Wuchuan Mansion."

Pei Ju took a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said to Pei Xingjian: "You continue to lead people to keep an eye on every move of Wuchuan Mansion, especially Dou Qing." Look at who he's dealing with, but be careful not to let Dou Qing find out I'm paying attention to him. ”

"Xing Jian understands!" Pei Xingjian bowed and hurried down.

Pei Ju walked to the window with his hand in his hand, looking at the top of the Wuchuan Tower Pagoda that was faintly visible in the distance, he sneered and said, "Dou Lao'er, the old man wants to take a look." How the hell do you play this game? ”

At the same time that Pei Ju met Zhang Xuan, in the Yuwenshu Mansion not far from Pei's Mansion, Yuwenshu, who had just returned to the Mansion, was listening to the report of his second son Yuwen Zhiji.

"Father, Li Shanheng has successfully provoked chaos in the Xinei camp, and he assured me that there will be chaos in the military camp tonight."

Yuwen Shu paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, pondering for a long time, he stopped and glanced at the strategist Xu Yin who was standing aside, "Sir, do you think this strategy can completely defeat Lai'er?" ”

Xu Yin said with a smile: "I can promise the general that even if he can't kill Lai Hu'er in the end, he will be completely dismissed from his official position." ”

"I don't just want to get rid of Lai'er." Yuwen Shu said coldly.

"The subordinates understand the deep meaning of the general, if this strategy can be implemented smoothly, the subordinates can ensure that the Great Sui army is completely chilled by today's son, which will seriously weaken the prestige of the Son of Heaven in the army, and the subordinates This is a strategy to kill two birds with one stone."

Yu Wenshu nodded, there were some things he didn't want to say, but Xu Yin could think of them for him, which made him very satisfied with Xu Yin.

Xu Yin added: "In the final analysis, this strategy is to take advantage of the chaos to set fire, the key is to get rid of the general in time, and no one must find out that this fire was set by the general." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yin's gaze turned to Yuwen Zhiji.

Yuwen Zhihe was startled and said hurriedly: "Li Shanheng can't move!" ”

He was anxious, and said to his father in a panic: "The boy promised him and promoted him to general, which is also a father's promise, and the father can't be untrustworthy!" ”

"What did you say!"

Yuwen Shu turned his head and glared at him fiercely, "Who are you talking about and not believing in your words?" ”

Frightened, Yu Wenzhi hurriedly lowered his head, and he didn't dare to come out, and Xu Yin next to him persuaded: "Although Li Shanheng has a good relationship with the second son, he really can't stay, once he doesn't keep his mouth right, he will hurt the general, this matter must be kept absolutely secret, and he must be eliminated." ”

Yuwen Shu snorted and said to Yu Wenzhi: "I don't care what friendship you have with Li Shanheng, you must dispose of him afterwards, do you hear!" ”

"The child obeys!" Yu Wenzhi and Wan Wan reluctantly agreed

Jang Xuan rushed out of the city gate to the sound of drums that rumbled to close the city gate, and returned directly to the Xineiying station.

But as soon as he walked into the camp, he met Wei Chi Gong running nervously, "General, it's not good, something happened in the barracks." ”

"What's going on?" Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.

"The generals of the battalions went to Miyagi to petition. The camp in the west has been disorganized. ”

Zhang Xuan was taken aback, "What about our military camp?" Did you go? ”

"I and Liu joined the army to stop everyone, and I said that the general was not there, and everyone was not allowed to move. One guy was not convinced, and was knocked over by me. ”

"Well done!"

Zhang Xuan praised Wei Chigong and walked quickly to his big tent, and Wei Chigong hurriedly followed and whispered: "I heard that more than 1,000 people have gone to petition, and the general must make a decision immediately." Otherwise, we will be involved in this matter. ”

"I know, I'll ask about the situation first."

Zhang Xuan also knew that something must have happened, otherwise he would not suddenly make a fuss, and approached the big tent, but saw Liu Ling, who joined the army, standing at the mouth of the tent, Liu Ling stepped forward and was about to speak, but Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "Go into the tent and say!" ”

As soon as he lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent, Liu Ling followed, and said nervously: "There is news this evening. General Lai has been convicted of treason and is ready to be executed, all the armies that participated in the Goguryeo battle this time must be disbanded, and the promised military rewards of the Holy Lord will also be canceled. ”

"Just because of this news?" Zhang Xuan was a little puzzled, the generals would not be so impulsive!

"This news angered everyone, and everyone went to Miyagi to petition, and our military camp was supposed to go, but Wei Chi and I stopped it."

The situation is developing too fast, which makes Zhang Xuan feel confused, if he comes to protect his son, he will be beheaded. Then Pei Ju would definitely tell him, but Pei Ju clearly told him that he hadn't even decided who would judge the guard, so how could he be executed.

Jang Hyun immediately realized. This must have been someone unleashing false information and provoking chaos in the camp in the west, for what purpose it is impossible to determine, but the consequences are quite serious.

At this moment, someone outside the tent said to his soldiers: "Please go and report to the general, we want to see him." ”

Jang Hyun got up and walked out of the tent. Seeing that more than 20 brigade commanders, lieutenants and other generals under him gathered at the gate of the big tent, Zhang Xuan shouted angrily: "What do you want to do? ”

All the generals lowered their heads, no one dared to say anything, and after a while, a captain whispered: "Everyone is fighting for their own fate, if we don't go, it will be too unrighteous." ”

"You know the!"

Zhang Xuan scolded: "Who said that the general would be beheaded, and who said that we should be disbanded?" What is it that you run to the palace, it is a rebellion! It's a soldier's advice! Not only will we kill the general, but we will really be disbanded, do you know how serious the consequences will be! ”

Shen Guang said in a low voice: "Actually, we don't want to take risks, but what's going on now, everyone is panicking, can the general give us a letter?" ”

Zhang Xuan looked at a pair of worried eyes, and then shouted to everyone: "I also went to inquire about the news in the afternoon, and the news I got was that who was responsible for the trial of the general had not been decided, how could he be beheaded?" This is obviously someone fanning the flames and trying to trap us in a place of disloyalty and injustice, so no one is allowed to leave the camp without my order, and anyone who dares to leave the camp without permission will be punished according to military law! ”

Zhang Xuan's words undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on everyone's excited hearts, everyone gradually calmed down, many people lowered their heads in shame, and Zhang Xuan ordered: "Go and appease your soldiers, have a good rest tonight, and talk about it tomorrow, dismiss me!" ”

The generals saluted and returned to the camp one after another, Zhang Xuan was also very worried, if the matter was really big, the court would be beaten down, the entire army would be implicated, and he would not be spared under the nest, he had to find a way to prevent the expansion of the situation in time, Zhang Xuan took a few personal soldiers, and rode to the direction of Miyagi

Located in the Forbidden Garden of the Imperial Palace, just a few miles away from the Imperial Palace, a long high wall separates the Imperial Palace from the Forbidden Garden.

Inside the high wall is the next city, and to the east of the next city is the palace where the emperor Yang Guang and his concubines lived, and outside the high wall is an endless forest and meadow, as well as the station of tens of thousands of guards.

The towering gate was tightly closed, and hundreds of Imperial Guards soldiers stood on the gatehouse, bows and arrows, staring nervously at the city gate.

More than 1,000 middle and low-level generals gathered under the gate with torches in hand, and the first few generals shouted: "We want to see the saint and ask for an explanation!" ”

There was silence in the city, no one answered them, and Zhao Xingshu, the Huyalang on duty, had already run into the palace to report, and no one could call the shots here.

More than 1,000 people in the city had been waiting for more than half an hour, no one paid attention to them, they became more and more impatient, and the leader Li Shanheng shouted: "If you don't answer us again, we will set fire!" ”

Several generals next to him were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped: "General Li, we are petitioning, not making trouble, don't be reckless!" ”

But Li Shanheng's voice shouted caused chaos among the crowd gathered under the palace gate, and everyone shouted: "Let the saint come out!" Otherwise we set it on fire. ”

At this time, there was a commotion at the gate of the palace, and someone shouted, "Yu Shangshu of the military department has arrived!" ”

The soldiers in the city flashed to both sides, only to see Yu Shiji, the secretary of the military department, walking up to the palace gate with a sweat, it happened to be his turn tonight, but he heard that there was a mutiny in the camp in Xinei, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly rushed here.

Zhang Xuan also rushed to the outside of the palace at this time, but he restrained the war horse from a distance, and saw tens of thousands of guards in front of him who were surrounding the gate from all directions, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but sigh long, the matter has become big, he can't save these generals, but he must stabilize the barracks, can't involve himself, Zhang Xuan immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the western camp.
