Chapter 122: Demotion and seizure of power

As soon as Duanmu Shadow Owl heard that this person was Feng Ming's prince, he became vigilant: "Boss, I heard that this Feng Ming's great prince is not only thoughtful, if Feng Ming's soldiers have him to lead, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with!" ”

"This brother seems to have lifted me up a bit, you branch Ye Qi, you just want to attack the Fengming military camp, even if I don't show up today, the Fengming soldiers will sacrifice their lives to protect the country!" Shangguan Yi said, and then pulled out the sword at his waist: "Mu Yanze, it is rumored that the martial arts of the six princes of the Cangming God of War are world-famous, and I just want to see it today, what a world-class it is!" ”

Since the enemy took the initiative to invite him to stand up, how could Mu Yanze retreat?

"The eldest prince has said so, and the king has no choice but to accompany him!" Mu Yanze drew his sword and swung it at Shangguan Yi, and the two fought for more than ten rounds, but they didn't tell the winner! Shangguan Yi, who is a weak scholar in Su Ri, is not inferior to Mu Yanze in martial arts.

"It seems that this rumor is really true, the martial arts of the six princes are really good, I admire it!" Shangguan Yi put the sword back into the scabbard and said to Mu Yanze's respectful preservation. Mu Yanze smiled and said, "I thought that the Great Prince of Fengming was just a civil servant in the court, but I didn't expect that this martial arts is also excellent!" Today, I have met an opponent! ”

Shangguan Yi glanced at the soldiers of the two countries who were fighting, and said to Mu Yanze: "The two countries are at war, and the people who suffer the most are those Li people, if the sixth prince is willing to reconcile with my Fengming, this king is willing to start his father's emperor, make peace with Cangming, and the two countries coexist peacefully, how about it?" ”

Mu Yanze frowned, "It turns out that the eldest prince is also a virtuous minister, and he knows how to care about the suffering of the common people, if the two countries can coexist peacefully, then it will be fine, but this Fengming Emperor's plan to attack Cangming is still the same, I'm afraid, it's not so easy to persuade!" ”

"The plan to attack Cangming was proposed by Ye Qi in order to entrap the military power, since I said so, then persuade my father to reconcile with Cangming, and leave it to me!" Shangguan Yi said.

"The eldest prince believes in me so much? You told me the news of Fengming's civil strife, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to send troops to pacify your Fengming? A trace of curvature appeared at the corner of Mu Yanze's mouth, and he looked at Shangguan Yi with interest.

Shangguan Yi said: "The reason why I informed the six princes of the news of Ye Qi's military power is that I trust the six princes, if the six princes insist on fighting, then I Fengming will accompany me to the end!" Mu Yanze smiled and didn't talk to Shangguan Yi again.

"Duanmu Shadow Owl, let them retreat!" Mu Yanze commanded the Duanmu Shadow Owl beside him. Duanmu Shadow Owl asked puzzledly, "Why?" We have been planning for so long, just to capture the Fengming military camp, and now we are retreating, isn't it a pity? ”

"If you want to retreat, retreat, why are you doing so much nonsense?" Mu Yanze accentuated his tone, and Duanmu Shadow Owl had no choice but to comply. Watching the Cangming army leave, Shangguan Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ling Yu: "Go check the extent of the soldiers' injuries, those who died in battle, bury them well, and send some silver taels to comfort their families!" ”

Ling Yu didn't ask why, so he went to carry out the order!

After Mu Xianyu completed his mission, he returned to Mu Yanze's study and waited for them to return! Soon, I saw Mu Yanze and Duanmu Shadow Owl coming back, and I was very puzzled: "Didn't you go to attack the Fengming military camp?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

Duanmu Shadow Owl pursed his lips and said, "Isn't it because the boss called for the withdrawal of the soldiers?!" If the boss hadn't told us to retreat, we would have captured Feng Ming's military camp by now! Mu Xianyu got up from the chair with a little anger and said to Mu Yanze: "Sixth, are you confused? Why retreat?! We've been preparing for so long, just for tonight's victory, and now you're retreating, all gone! ”

Mu Yanze understood Mu Xianyu's mood at this time, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Shangguan Yi proposed to me to reconcile the war between the two countries, and I agreed!" ”

"You also believe Shangguan Yi's words! Now that Emperor Fengming is over sixty years old, it is time to find a suitable prince to succeed him, and Fengming's crown prince is grounded, plus the crown prince, this prince will be abolished sooner or later! Shangguan Yi just wants to borrow your hand to ascend to the throne, how are you! Alas! ”

Mu Xianyu shook his head helplessly, flicked his sleeves, and left the study! Duanmu Shadow Owl looked at Mu Xianyu's departing back, then looked at Mu Yanze, sighed, and had no choice but to catch up with Mu Xianyu.

When Ye Qi returned to the Fengming barracks, the sky had slowly brightened, and on the way to the barracks, from time to time there were soldiers looking at him, Ye Qi said angrily: "Look at what!" Are you tired of seeing General Ben and not saluting?! ”

The soldiers hurriedly lowered their heads and left in a hurry, at this time, Ling Yu ran over from not far away, came to Ye Qi's side, held the handrail, and said, "General, you are back, the emperor is about to send you to question!" Hurry up and enter the palace! ”

Ye Qi had already guessed the reason why Emperor Fengming summoned him to the palace, "I'll go back and change my clothes!" ”

Fengming court

"The ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Ye Qi saluted Emperor Fengming on the folding dragon chair, and before Emperor Fengming could say "flat", Emperor Fengming's angry voice came: "Ye Qi, you are so bold!" Where did you go last night? Report me truthfully! ”

"The emperor atoned for his sins, yesterday's events were all a conspiracy between Mu Yanze and Mu Xianyu, they designed to lure away Weichen, so they took advantage of the lack of generals in my Fengming military camp and sent troops to attack my Fengming military camp!" Ye Qi hurriedly explained, Emperor Fengming laughed out loud when he heard Ye Qi's words, but this laughter was a bit ironic!

"At this time, or have I wronged you? If you didn't fight with Mu Xianyu yesterday, how could you be led away by him? If Yi'er hadn't arrived in time yesterday, I'm afraid that this Fengming military camp would have fallen! Emperor Fengming pointed to Shangguan Yi standing beside Ye Qi and said.

Ye Qi raised his head and looked at Shangguan Yi, just as Shangguan Yi was also looking at him! Ye Qi lowered his head, very puzzled in his heart, how did Shangguan Yi learn the news that the Fengming military camp was attacked?

"Ye Qi, you caused my Fengming to lose thirty percent of the military rations and many soldiers, what crime should you be guilty of?!" Emperor Fengming was furious, Ye Qi raised his head and said, "Thirty percent of the military rations? "If Mu Yanze wanted to burn down Feng Ming's granary, how could he only burn thirty percent of the military rations?

"Looks like you don't know what's wrong with you? Mu Yanze burned thirty percent of the military rations, but his thoughts led you away so that he could attack the Fengming military camp, and you couldn't even see such an obvious flaw! No wonder Feng Ming and Cangming are defeated every time they fight! It turns out that there is such a foolish leader as you! ”

Ye Qi's fists gradually clenched, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and waiting for Emperor Fengming's punishment!

"Get rid of Ye Qi's position as a general, take back the military power in his hands, and enter the dungeon!" Emperor Fengming roared angrily. As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the court all started to talk about it, and an older minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you must not!" General Ye has done his best for my Fengming and protected my Fengming for many years, and now he is dismissed and investigated, I am afraid that the soldiers will be unconvinced! ”

Another minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you are not a sage, who can do nothing?" General Ye killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and his merits outweighed his faults, please think twice! ”

"Please think twice!" This group of ministers who begged for mercy for Ye Qi received bribes from Ye Qi on weekdays! The emperor glanced at the ministers who begged for mercy for Ye Qi, and was very hesitant in his heart, Ye Qi had protected Fengming's soldiers for seven years, if he was dismissed from his post and seized power, and he was thrown into the dungeon, the hearts of the soldiers would also be disturbed!

Emperor Fengming glanced at Shangguan Yi, who had not yet spoken, and asked, "Yi'er, you say, what to do with him?" Shangguan Yi held the handrail and said: "Father, the emperor and the sons think that if they cut off General Ye's position and seize the military power, if they enter the dungeon again, the soldiers will also be afraid, so just reduce General Ye's position and regain the military power!" ”

Ye Qi raised his head and looked at Shangguan Yi, his eyes narrowed, as if to say, Shangguan Yi, you are really kind! Instigated this old emperor to take away my military power!

Emperor Fengming pondered for a while before he said: "Over there, according to what the Great Prince said, remove Ye Qi from the position of general, regain military power, and demote him to a general!" Ye Qi looked at Emperor Fengming incredulously, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Weichen has done his best for Fengming, and you will now demote Weichen to a general, and Weichen will not accept it!" Although Wechen doesn't say that there is merit, but Wechen also has hard work! ”

"I have made up my mind, retreat from the dynasty!"

.......

After retiring from the court, Shangguan Yi invited Emperor Fengming alone: "Father, the son has something to do!" As soon as Emperor Fengming took off his court clothes, he saw Shangguan Yi walk in, and Emperor Fengming frowned: "Then why didn't you say it in the early dynasty just now?" ”

Shangguan Yi glanced at the palace maid who was waiting for Emperor Fengming next to him, Emperor Fengming understood, and waved his hand: "You all go down, I and the eldest prince have something to discuss, and you are not allowed to come in without my permission!" ”

Those palace maids were blessed and exited the room, and Emperor Fengming walked to the desk and sat down: "What do you have to separate those outsiders?" Shangguan Yi said with his armrest: "Back to my father, the reason why Erchen was able to let Mu Yanze withdraw from the army yesterday was because Erchen made a condition with him!" ”

Emperor Fengming raised his eyebrows and said, "Conditions? What conditions? ”

"The two countries fought a war, and the people suffered, so Erchen talked about reconciliation with Mu Yanze!" Shangguan Yi cautiously looked at Emperor Fengming's face, Emperor Fengming picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said: "But my country and Cangming have made enemies for many years, if they reconcile, he doesn't want to be afraid of the old emperor of Cangming!" ”

Hearing Emperor Fengming say this, Shangguan Yi felt a little sure in his heart: "With the status of Mu Yanze in the Cangming Dynasty, Emperor Cangming will consider what he said, if the two countries reconcile, it will also be a great joy for the people!" ”
