Chapter 920: Battle Report from the North
"Okay, since your bones are so hard, then I'll roast them for you."
A bloodthirsty look appeared in Dou Dan's eyes, and then he ordered: "Cover the big urn." ”
"Stop."
Xu Shimo immediately stopped him, but the jailer did not listen to him and still closed the big urn.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Hongzhi shuddered in his heart.
"Dou Shangshu, if you treat the court officials like this, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will be guilty?" Xu Shimo asked angrily.
Dou Dan said coldly: "You have caused King Qin to become a living dead, so it is light to punish you in this way."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty will not condemn me, on the contrary, I helped Your Majesty out of this evil breath, and Your Majesty will reward me."
"You ......" Xu Shimo was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
At this time, a painful voice came from the large urn: "Ah...... It's too hot, let me out. ”
Dou Dan asked again: "Wei Xian horse recruit or not?" ”
A firm voice came from the large urn: "There is nothing to say. ”
Dou Dan's eyes were cold, and he ordered: "Burn the fire a little stronger." ”
"Stop."
At this moment, Wang Yu walked in, followed by Qian Jiulong, Li Xiaochang and others.
"Help."
Wang Yu gave an order, and Daquan, Hao Shou and others immediately took action.
extinguishing the fire, uncovering the lid of the large urn, rescuing Wei Zheng, and then carrying out treatment, all the actions were very fast.
Fortunately, it came in time, and Wei Zheng was not seriously injured.
Wang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared at Dou Dan angrily: "Dou Shangshu, Your Majesty asked you to use torture is not torture, you use torture privately, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”
Dou Dan unhurriedly first saluted Wang Yu, and then said: "The princess doesn't know, these people's bones are very hard, and ordinary punishments can't deal with them.
"They won't tell the truth without torture."
Hearing this, Xu Shimo snorted coldly: "Even if you use torture, we won't change our words, if we haven't done it, we haven't done it, you don't want to bend into a trick." ”
Sure enough, the bones were hard.
Wang Yu glanced at Wei Zheng, whose feet were so hot that he couldn't get off the ground, and Xu Shimo, who had a hard mouth, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.
No matter what happens to Li Jiancheng in the end, these two must be saved.
"Duke Xun Guo, doesn't Your Majesty have a new will?" Wang Yu reminded Qian Jiulong.
Qian Jiulong immediately took out the edict: "Dali Siqing, the criminal department Shangshu, and the imperial historian listen to the order." ”
Li Xiaochang and the three of them immediately knelt down: "The minister is here." ”
"Your Majesty has a decree that all subordinate officials in the East Palace can only be interrogated, not punished, and if there is a violation, they will be severely punished."
"Minister's order."
Dou Dan's face was ugly, and King Qi asked him to use torture to collect more evidence of the prince's crimes, but His Majesty suddenly changed his mind.
If His Majesty knew about what had just happened, would he punish him?
As soon as he thought of this, Dou Dan's mood was very apprehensive.
Wang Yu squatted down to inspect Wei Zheng's injuries and asked with concern, "Is the teacher okay?" ”
Hearing the title of "teacher", Wei Zheng was shocked, but after thinking about it, Wang Yu could call him like this in front of Qian Jiulong, which meant that His Majesty already knew.
can retreat with Zhao Hongzhi confessing to her, and can persuade His Majesty to change his mind and not punish them, this little girl is really very capable.
It seems that they were right to keep her.
Thinking about this, Wei Zheng replied respectfully: "Thank you princess for your concern, Wei is fine." ”
Wang Yu didn't say much to him, but followed Qian Jiulong to see the others.
After that, Wang Yu followed Qian Jiulong back to the palace, she went back to the side hall to recuperate, and Qian Jiulong went to Li Yuan to return to his life.
......
As the investigation deepened, more and more officials asked the emperor to depose the crown prince, but the emperor kept pressing and did not deal with it.
On this day, the 800-mile expedited military report reached Chang'an.
Jieli Khan personally led the Turkic iron cavalry to invade Lingzhou, Shuozhou and other places, and fought with Lin Xu, the governor of Daizhou, in Xincheng, and Lin Xuan was defeated.
When the news reached the court, the ministers immediately attacked Li Jiancheng.
"Your Majesty, the Turks really heard the news and went south to invade the Central Plains, and now the King of Qin is unconscious, and no one can compete with Jieli Khan, all of this is the fault of the crown prince.
"If the crown prince hadn't assassinated the King of Qin for his own selfish interests, Jieli Khan wouldn't have dared to invade the Central Plains at this moment."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the crown prince has committed a great crime, and he should be abolished immediately, and then punished according to the law."
As he spoke, the ministers knelt down again and shouted in unison: "Please depose the prince and make the people angry." ”
Pei Lin and the others stood very conspicuously, so they also knelt down, but did not speak.
Li Yuan glanced at everyone and said angrily: "In the past, because the world was undecided, the Turks were treated with kindness as a relief and treated them with the courtesy of an equal country.
"Now that Jieli Khan has repeatedly broken his covenant, it is really hateful, and he swears that he must be destroyed and will not be tolerated."
Everyone was stunned.
Why didn't the anger go to the prince? And to the Khan of Jieli?
Before they could react, Li Yuan had already issued an order to change all the letters to the Turks into edicts or edicts.
Then, Li Yuan ordered Li Shiqian to be the head of the march, led the troops of Henan and Shandong to reinforce the northern border, and sent Zhang Jin to lead his troops into Shiling, and Li Gao to move his troops into Dagu to fight against the Turks.
After the deployment, Li Yuan directly announced his retreat from the court, and then left.
Leaving a group of ministers looking at each other.
Soon, Li Shiyun received the holy decree, and he immediately gave the order to set off with the whole army.
However, before leaving, the soldiers came to report: "Chief, General Zhang Liang's people ask to see him." ”
Zhang Liang sent someone to meet him?
"Bring him here." Li Shiyun commanded.
It was a small soldier under Zhang Liang's hand, and Li Shiyun had seen it: "What did General Zhang send you to do?" ”
Xiao Bing replied: "A few days ago, the prince sent someone to assassinate the King of Qin, and the person in charge of the assassination was your good brother General Shan Xiongxin.
"Now that the matter has been revealed, General Shan and others have been sent to prison in Dali Temple."
Li Shixin stood up in shock, it turned out that King Qi didn't lie to him, Shan Xiongxin really got into trouble.
A few days ago, he received a letter from King Qi, and thought that King Qi was trying to win him over, so he lied to him that Shan Xiongxin had an accident.
It turned out to be true......
"What the hell is going on? Tell me more about it. ”
Xiaobing told Li Shiyun everything he knew.
After listening, Li Shiyun handed a bag of money to Xiaobing: "Thank you for informing, but I'm about to go on an expedition, so you can go back to Chang'an first." ”
"Doesn't Cao Guogong have anything to say to the general?" The creep took the money bag.
Li Shiyun: "No, you can go back." ”
"Yes." The creeps are gone.
The henchman asked suspiciously: "Doesn't the master save General Shan?" ”
"Alas......" Li Shiyun sighed helplessly: "Of course I want to save it, but I don't go to rob the prison, and I don't use other side doors."
"Now, I can only repel the Turks, use my military exploits to beg Your Majesty, and spare Shan Xiongxin's life."
The henchman was silent.
At this time, someone came to report: "Chief, there is a letter from you, which was sent from Chang'an." ”
Li Shiyun thought it was a letter written by Shan Xiongxin, so he quickly took the letter, opened it and read it.
As soon as he looked at the beginning, he found that it was not a letter written by Shan Xiongxin, but by Wang Yu.
“...... Brother Li, do you remember the promise I made at the beginning? Now, Shan Xiongxin assassinated the King of Qin, so that the King of Qin was seriously injured and fell into a coma......"
