Chapter 38: On the Hall of the Gard

Emperor Ling was in a very good mood today, unprecedentedly, and convened a group of courtiers to discuss the Jiade Palace, but this good mood did not last long, and the ministers had just finished gathering, and they heard a burst of crying.

"Liu Qing's family, why are you crying?" Raising his eyelids and looking at the source of the sound, Spirit Emperor Liu Hong frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty, please be the master of the old minister!" Hearing the emperor's inquiry, Situ Yangci suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, and his crying not only did not stop, but began to cry.

Liu Hong was a little upset by this cry, and said impatiently: "Get up and talk, what is the matter?" ”

"Hui Majesty." Yang Ci choked up and stood up according to his words, and said what happened in Fengwei Camp a few days ago, of course, the most important thing is to smear Li Xuan, but he didn't say a word about how arrogant his grandson was, and finally said: "The general of Zhenbei is so arrogant, he didn't ask about it, he beheaded his beloved grandson, hung his head on the gate, and even asked the minister to redeem the corpse, but he sent evil slaves to beat him out. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Hong frowned, Zhenbei General Li Xuan, if it wasn't for Yang Ci to mention it, he would have almost forgotten about this person.

Just about to speak, Zhang Rang, who was standing beside him, suddenly turned sideways and arched his hand: "Your Majesty can't listen to the words of one side, that Zhenbei General Li Xuan, the minister has also seen, although he was born in the north, but he is loyal to His Majesty, I still remember that this Zhenbei general opened up the territory for His Majesty at the beginning of the year, extended my Han Dynasty to Danhan Mountain, taught the Hu people not to dare to go south and herd horses, and greatly increased the majesty of my Han family, his people may be easy to be hot-blooded and impulsive, but they are by no means as arrogant and domineering as Yang Situ said, Your Majesty must not be slandered by villains. Kill the loyal ministers. ”

Not good.

Seeing Zhang Rang suddenly stand up, Yang Ci's heart sank.

"Oh? I remembered. When Zhang Rang mentioned it, Liu Hong remembered Li Xuan's name, and it is the dream of every emperor to expand his territory, even if it is Liu Hong. is also the same, at this time, when Zhang Rang mentioned it, he was a little curious: "This Li Xuan has been in Beijing for a while, I have been busy with business, and I haven't had time to see this minister who opened up the territory and spread the territory, and passed on the general Li Xuan of Zhenbei to go to the palace!" ”

Soon, a small yellow-door Pegasus rushed to the West Garden and summoned Li Xuan.

"Your Majesty...... 陛xià. Yang Ci didn't expect things to take such a turn in his mind. It is very easy to sue a nominal general, according to common sense, the emperor can be directly convicted without summoning the other party, who knows that Zhang Rang will suddenly insert a bar, so that things will be twisted and turned. Looking at Zhang Rang's eyes, he couldn't help but be full of resentment.

Zhang Ranggong stood behind Liu Hong. Turning a blind eye to Yang Ci's resentful eyes, his home, there are also a thousand taels of gold and a large number of precious antique jade that Li Xuan just sent, as for Yang Ci's eyes, ha, this is a civil and military dynasty. And how many don't hate themselves? The Ten Standing Servants have been serving for many years, who have they been afraid of?

When the herald's little yellow gate arrived in the West Garden, Li Xuan was training a group of female soldiers, and a group of girls were sweating and exhausted under Li Xuan's drills. But there is no longer that numbness and dazedness in his eyes, a pair of beautiful eyes, rejuvenated hope for the future, for the general who has always been expressionless on the stage, a group of girls are both love and hate, it is he who has rekindled the flame of hope for these women who have despaired of the future, and also let them regain their dignity as human beings, so that these girls admire and love Li Xuan from the bottom of their hearts, but for Li Xuan's endless torture methods, the girls are itching with hatred, after dinner yesterday, When they returned to the tent, almost all of them fell asleep, as if they were falling apart.

"General, you can't go, that Yang Chen's grandfather is the Situ of the dynasty, this time it must be that Yang Ci sued the general in front of His Majesty, general, it's better to take this opportunity to escape from Luoyang!" Seeing that Li Xuan was about to leave with the little yellow door, a female official's face changed slightly, and she said loudly.

"Bastard, who taught you these words of no king and no father?" Li Xuan frowned, glanced at the female officer coldly, looked back at Zhao Min and said, "Training, double!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Min, who was dressed in military uniform, flashed worry in her eyes, and then nodded, she knew that since Li Xuan was determined to go to face the saint, she must have her own plans in her heart, she forcibly suppressed the worry in her heart, looked at the female official, and said sharply: "Concubine Liu Qing, you are willing to accept punishment!" ”

"Concubine Qing admits punishment." The worried look on the female official's face was undiminished, but seeing that Li Xuan had already left with the Yellow Gate, she could only nod helplessly.

As Xiao Huangmen entered the palace like a labyrinth, and was about to arrive at the Jiade Palace, Xiao Huangmen said in a low voice: "The general doesn't have to worry, the prince has already commanded before, the general just needs to tell the truth, and the rest is up to the prince." ”

"There is Father-in-law Lao." Li Xuan smiled and nodded, and quietly stuffed a gold bar into Xiao Huangmen's sleeve, Xiao Huangmen's face smiled even more, and his expression became more respectful.

Looking at the magnificent Jiade Palace, Li Xuan straightened his clothes, strode into the main hall, his eyes swept over the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu, and finally fell on Liu Hong, and bowed and said: "Minister Li Xuan see Your Majesty, please forgive the minister for being in armor and not being able to perform the full salute!" ”

Looking at Li Xuan, Liu Hong's eyes flashed with a touch of appreciation, although Li Xuan is not as powerful and majestic as the general He Jin, but his body is well-proportioned, and when he walks, he has a sense of contempt, his appearance is not that kind of beautiful man, but he is by no means ugly, and he is full of masculinity.

This is also the result of Li Xuan taking the initiative to suppress his momentum that belongs to the emperor, his peers are light, not to mention the same emperor, if he leaks out the momentum that belongs to the emperor first, even if Zhang Rang helps from the side, Liu Hong may directly let people cut him down.

"You are Li Xuan?" Liu Hong looked at Li Xuan with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Situ Yang Ci sued you for being arrogant, rampaging in Luoyang, and killing Situ Aisun for no reason, but there is such a thing. ”

Li Xuan raised his head, his eyes swept over Yang Ci who was standing under the stage, although it was only the first time he saw it, but Yang Ci was too similar to Yang Chen, he could recognize it at a glance, his gaze turned around, and fell on Liu Hong again, bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Yang Chen, but it was the minister who ordered him to be killed!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Hong looked at Li Xuan and played with taste: "Do you know that if you can't give me and the Manchu courtiers a reasonable reason, even if you have the merit of expanding the territory, but in order to appease the anger of the courtiers, I can only kill you!" ”

"The minister naturally knows." Li Xuanlang laughed, looked at Liu Hong, his voice suddenly turned low, and said in a low voice: "I don't know Your Majesty, but do you remember the first army of the Fengwei Battalion?" ”

"Fengwei Battalion?" Liu Hong really didn't know that there was such a soldier and horse in Luoyang, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Zhang Rang beside him.

When Zhang Rang heard what Li Xuan said, he already knew Li Xuan's plan, smiled slightly, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Fengwei Camp said, but it has a great background, it was established by Empress Yin Li Huayin back then, and it was composed of women, who had followed Emperor Guangwu to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements. ”

"In Luoyang, there is such an army!?" Liu Hong's eyes flashed with excitement, as the emperor, but the military power in his hands was only the imperial city guards and some imperial city miscellaneous soldiers, the elite in the city, almost all fell into the hands of the family and the generals, if you can get such a soldier, you can also increase the chips in your hands.

A faint sneer flashed in the eyes of Yuan Kui, He Jin and others, the emperor was eager to control the army, and he could probably guess one or two, but now the elite in the city has basically been controlled by the Great General's Mansion and the family, even the emperor can't interfere.

"Of course, this force is now under the command of General Zhenbei." Zhang Rang bowed.

"It's just that what does this Fengwei Camp have to do with what Yang Situ said?" Liu Hong looked at Li Xuan, but he was more and more satisfied in his heart, and he had already made up his mind, no matter what, he would definitely protect this person.

"Your Majesty, you can know that the Fengwei Camp, which was heroic and sassy back then, and the women did not let the eyebrows, what kind of atmosphere is it now?" Li Xuan's voice became low, he looked at Liu Hong, and slowly said about the matter of Fengwei Camp and the conflict that happened in Yuanmen yesterday, without adding the slightest oil and vinegar, and finally said: "This matter is definitely not slander by the minister, at that time, in addition to the minister's general, there were still Yulin Army and Yue Cavalry Camp beside him, His Majesty can send someone to ask, the minister believes that the truth is clear, this world, this Luoyang, there is still the truth, and no one is allowed to distort and defile!" ”

At the end, the tone was even more sonorous and powerful, and there was a sound on the ground, but Yang Ci was pale, his thin body trembled uncontrollably, and he stretched out his hand to point at Li Xuan, his lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word.

"Yang Qing, what else do you have to say?" Liu Hong's face turned pale, he thought it was a strong army, who would have thought that it would be such a situation, and it would be even more unbearable for him, Feng Weiying belongs to the clan, and in the final analysis, it is his private property like the female official in the palace, but now he has been reduced to leaning on the door and laughing, even inferior to a woman in the dust, which makes him, as an emperor, how can he be happy?

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister only found out about this matter yesterday, and the ministers are not very clear about all kinds of details!" Yang Ci couldn't care about continuing to attack Li Xuan at this moment, and fell to his knees in panic, and said in a trembling voice.

"After reading that you are also a famous family, the death penalty can be avoided, but this negligence and conviction of the crime, the position of Situ, but you can no longer do it, can you admit punishment?" Liu Hong snorted coldly.

"The minister admits punishment." Yang Ci's face turned pale, his forehead touched the ground, and he hissed.

"Li Qing!" In the end, Liu Hong looked at Li Xuan with a complicated face, and said in a deep voice: "Since Aiqing has the heart to revive the prestige of the Fengwei Battalion, I will give you the position of captain of the Fengwei Battalion, the original control will remain unchanged, and I will also serve as the captain of the Beigong, don't let me down." ”

"Obey the order!" Li Xuan said solemnly.

"Okay, I'm tired, let's retreat." With a wave of his hand, Liu Hong got up a little tiredly, and walked towards the apse under Zhang Rang's respect. (To be continued......)
