Just when Xu Rui visited Rongyang Hutong, there was a storm surging above the court, and an invisible competition was underway.

Beiwuwei returned to the camp, and the generals above the fourth rank met with the palace, and the news quickly swept through the officialdom of the Great Wei Dynasty like a storm, and a storm that had been brewing for a month finally ushered in the decisive moment.

Outside the Taihe Palace, the six cabinet elders, the six officials of the six ministries except the Ministry of War, the left and right imperial history, the commanders of the five armies and the commanders of the Governor's Mansion all came uninvited, and almost all the bigwigs arrived, waiting for the emperor's summons.

Before the civil servants, the head of the hundred officials who was nearly seventy years old, and Huang Tingzhi, the first assistant of the cabinet, sat on a futon, half-squinting his eyes and pretending to sleep.

Due to his advanced age, the emperor specially granted the seat to wait, which is the only one among the hundred officials to receive this honor, marking the immortality of the saint, the status of respect, the actual meaning is far from a sitting word can be reflected.

"Teacher."

Du Ruo, who was over fifty years old, had just arrived and immediately stepped forward to salute Huang Tingzhi.

Huang Tingzhi raised his eyelids.

Du Ruo nodded at him imperceptibly.

A sharp light flashed in Huang Tingzhi's faint old eyes, and then closed his eyes slightly.

The two had not spoken from beginning to end, but the news of the exchange had already reached each other's hearts.

Du Ruo returned to the train and stood up, and Tang Huaixin, the secretary of the ministry, immediately came over and asked in a low voice, "Does the elder have an order?" ”

Du Ruo whispered: "The teacher is approved, everything is according to the plan, and those soldiers must not be allowed to please well this time." ”

Tang Huaixin nodded and glanced at several other colleagues.

The defeat in the Battle of Jingyang and the loss of 300,000 elites of the 12th Guard of the Beijing Division gave the civilian-official group an excellent opportunity to suppress the forces of the generals.

Now a group of officials of the military department (the military department of Wei is headed by military generals), several bigwigs of the five military governor's mansions have gone home to participate, and there are only two or three kittens left in the military general group, which is a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue and beat the water dogs.

Although the offensive of the civil official group slowed down for a time due to the ambiguous attitude of Emperor Hongwei, these silver-haired old men had an extremely strong will to fight, and they were eager to wait for the day when the Northern Wuwei returned to the camp to cover the last handful of loess for the grave of the military general group.

The Taihe Hall became a battlefield for the decisive battle between the civil and military forces, and the courtiers waiting for the emperor's summons were automatically divided into two distinct columns, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Under the scorching sun, a small yellow door walked out of the Taihe Hall quickly, and said loudly: "Spread the Holy Word: Since all the Aiqing are uninvited, let's come in together and listen!" ”

The generals of the Northern Military Guard, led by Liu Yi, were shocked when they heard this, but the civil officials and bigwigs smiled one after another.

Things have come to this point, that is, the blind know what the civil officials want to do, and at this time, the civil officials will meet together, isn't it equivalent to giving them the opportunity to attack the Northern Military Guard?

After all, the saint still lost patience with the monolithic military general group!

Huang Tingzhi suddenly opened his eyes, slowly got up from the futon, and strode towards the Taihe Palace, how could he be half old? A group of civil officials and bigwigs were in high spirits, followed closely behind, all in good spirits.

Liu Yi was uneasy in his heart, his face was pale, but he didn't dare to delay, patted Xiao Jinwu, who was still stunned, and led the generals to enter the hall in a hurry.

In the main hall, Emperor Hongwei sat high on the top, and the bead curtain on the dragon crown blocked his face, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

The civil and military classes stood on the left and right, and Tang Huaixin, the secretary of the ministry, looked at Du Ruo beside him, but Du Ruo nodded to him without looking back.

According to the previous plan, when the emperor provoked the topic, Du Ruo would be the first to go out and impeach the generals of the military department and the five armies for dereliction of duty, which led to the crushing defeat of the Wei army, and the unauthorized withdrawal of the Northern Wuwei, so that the plan to recover Jingyang was completely put on hold.

After that, the five Shangshu and the left and right imperial histories will come out to second, suppressing the generals who dare to refute, and then the cabinet elders will come out one after another to exert pressure to guide public opinion, and finally the cabinet chief assistant Huang Tingzhi's summary statement is final.

As if everything was already doomed, Du Ruo, who had been in the "battle array" for a long time, was enthusiastic and eager to try.

With the impeachment recital in his arms, he stared at the little yellow door next to the dragon chair, and as soon as he finished reading the opening sentence of "Something Happens", it was his turn to perform.

But waiting left and right, the little yellow door still looked like an eye and nose, nose and heart, and he didn't read it for a long time.

The bigwigs present are all people who have been in the officialdom for many years, and the abnormality of Xiao Huangmen immediately caused a strange atmosphere.

Du Ruo chuckled in his heart, inexplicably a little uneasy, and secretly glanced at the mentor Huang Tingzhi in front of him, only to see that the mentor was unmoving, as steady as Mount Tai, and Du Ruo felt a little at ease.

At this moment, Emperor Hongwei suddenly nodded at the little yellow door, and the little yellow door hurriedly bowed down, took a deep breath, and prepared to speak.

I'm thinking too much, I still have to come!

Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, put the heart back into his stomach, and silently adjusted his state, ready to fire his head.

"The Holy Lord's edict, although the Northern Wuwei in the first battle of Jingyang was under siege, but still fought hard, lasted more than a month, and fought more than 1,000 miles in the Southern Dynasties, with tens of thousands of remnants of the Wuling Black Flag, the two pro-armies of the rhino horn, its courage is commendable, its strategy is lamentable, and it should be a model for the whole army.

The Ministry of War drafted a list of meritorious generals, reported to the cabinet for ruling, and rewarded them according to the law to show their merits. ”

As soon as the words were finished, there was an uproar in the hall.

Du Ruo's mouth was wide open, stunned.

No, it shouldn't be that way!

The civil official group had discussed beforehand, and everyone agreed that in order to calm the impact of the Jingyang fiasco, the saint would inevitably not let go of Beiwuwei, at most it would be a result of offsetting merit and demerits.

No, there's something wrong!

Du Ruo came back to his senses, and his mind turned sharply.

Since the Holy Lord has issued a holy decree, and if he opposes it, it will be a blatant disobedience, and Beiwuwei will not be able to touch it, but someone must be responsible for the Jingyang fiasco, and things can still be fought for.

Suddenly disrupted by Emperor Hongwei's plan, a group of civil officials were suddenly a little at a loss, but the opportunity was fleeting, and they couldn't hesitate at all.

"Qi Song Sheng, the minister impeached the 137 officials of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies for dereliction of duty, and the corpses were vegetarian, so that Jingyang was defeated, the 12 guards of the Beijing Division, and 300,000 elites were lost!"

Du Ruo knelt on the ground with his hands holding the impeachment music, and his deep voice resounded through the hall, every word was clear and deafening.

Liu Yi and Xiao Jinwu were both nervous when they heard this, and the civil officials finally made trouble, and it is difficult to say whether Beiwuwei will be dragged into the water in the end.

In an instant, the chaotic hall quickly fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked at Emperor Hongwei who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Emperor Hongwei leaned forward slightly, and the bead curtain on the dragon's crown suddenly made a "jingling" sound.

"Du Qingping, today is not an early dynasty, only talk about Beiwuwei, don't talk about anything else, and hand it over to the cabinet."

Emperor Hongwei said lightly, as if he did not take his impeachment seriously at all.

What the?!

This time, not only Du Ruo, but also a few cabinet elders, all the civil officials were dumbfounded.

The emperor's words are blatantly biased in favor of the military general group, does he really intend to bear the black cauldron of this defeat himself?

"Your Majesty's governance of the country and the army has always had clear rewards and punishments, how can you only talk about merit and not talk about it? The minister also impeached the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies for dereliction of duty, the corpse was vegetarian, and even the defeat of Jingyang, please make a decision! ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Huaixin, the secretary of the ministry, hurriedly went out to help.

As soon as he opened his mouth, several heavyweight bigwigs came out one after another to impeach him, and all the civil officials bowed down in unison, holding high the impeachment note, and seconded the voices one after another, and the crowd angrily demanded that the emperor be punished.

But no matter how fierce the ministers shouted, there was no response on the dragon chair, and when the ministers who fell to the ground raised their heads, they found that the dragon chair was empty, and the emperor had already left.

Huang Tingzhi, who was standing at the forefront, was the only Wenchen who did not go out to join him, he watched Emperor Hongwei leave the Taihe Hall without looking back, sighed long, turned around and walked outside the hall, his steps were small and slow, and he looked old.

"Huang Ge Lao, Huang Ge Lao!"

Seeing Huang Tingzhi leaving, a group of bigwigs hurriedly surrounded him.

"Elder Huang Ge, what is the purpose of the Holy Lord's actions today?"

Tang Huaiye asked impatiently.

Huang Tingzhi glanced at him and said slowly, "What else can it be?" The Holy One doesn't want to speak, and he doesn't want us to talk, so let's go. ”

After saying that, he shook his head and continued to walk outside the main hall.

"Don't want to talk?"

Tang Huaiye chewed carefully, but still didn't understand what he meant, so he grabbed Du Ruo, who was about to leave, and asked, "Du Shangshu, what does the Holy Lord mean?" ”

Du Ruo's face turned pale, and when he looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and said, "I don't know what the Holy Lord's intentions are, but I am sure of one thing. ”

"What are you sure about?"

Tang Huaixin asked in surprise.

Du Ruo said: "If the saint wants to make a contribution to the Northern Wuwei, he can make an order early in the morning, why wait until now?" ”

Tang Huaixin's face changed: "Are you saying that the Holy Lord didn't want to let go of Beiwuwei easily, but he changed his mind temporarily?" ”

Du Ruo gritted his teeth and said, "Exactly!" I don't know exactly what happened, but according to the Holy Being's nature, I think I just changed my mind, just ask carefully who he has seen! ”

After speaking, Du Ruo snorted coldly and walked away, and the rest of the Wenchen were also angry and extremely unwilling.

A well-prepared general attack was unexpectedly dissolved in this way, and the Wenchen seemed to use all their strength to punch out, but it hit the cotton, both aggrieved and sad.

Outside the south study, Liu Yi and Xiao Jinwu knelt side by side on the stone steps, the scorching sun in the afternoon made the two of them sweat profusely, and several eunuchs on duty looked at them from afar, and no one dared to approach.

Until the sun gradually set in the west, the two of them were roasted to dry mouths, sweat-soaked cotton robes and frozen by the cold wind, and their bodies were hard as if they were wearing a pair of armor.

At this time, a little eunuch finally came out of the south study and slowly walked in front of the two.

"Two generals, the slave and maid will ask questions on behalf of the saint, and please answer truthfully."

Liu Yi and Xiao Jinwu moved their numb hands and feet, kowtowed, and said, "The ministers dare not deceive the saints. ”

The little eunuch said, "Holy Lord, go and ask them, what do you want to say to me?" ”

Liu Yi and Xiao Jinwu glanced at each other, kowtowed, and said: "Jingyang First War Ministers and other soldiers are ashamed of the saint, there is nothing to say, please punish the saint!" ”

The little eunuch said: "The Holy Lord's edict, if they ask for merit, let them get out of my southern study, and if they ask for sin, tell them, how can the defeated army be brave?"

Now that the dynasty has been defeated, it is necessary to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, and the Northern Wuwei must have no fault, and the defeated black cauldron I have carried it on their backs, let them hurry back and get the defeated things back, within three years, I want a new Beijing division of the twelve guards, if there is a little difference, come and see you! ”

After speaking, the little eunuch made a gesture to the two of them, turned around and walked towards the south study.

Liu Yi and Xiao Jinwu glanced at each other, knowing that Beiwuwei had finally passed the most difficult level, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and kowtow to thank him.

Unlike their relief, at this moment, Cao Gonggong knelt in front of the emperor in a cold sweat.

"Tell me, how did Yang Weiyuan die? Why did my brocade guards be wiped out? Also, did Xu Rui use the immortal method in the battle of Liuqingshan, please go down to the thunder?! ”

The emperor only asked him one sentence, but these three questions were all to the point, and they were all related to Xu Rui.

Gonggong Cao glanced up and saw Wang Shun standing beside Emperor Hongwei, staring at him expressionlessly.

Wang Shun is the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, the veritable head of the inner court, he holds the East Factory in his hands, and it is very likely that he also installed the internal response in the Beiwuwei and even the Jinyi Guard, could it be that he found any clues?

Xu Rui's methods of dealing with Wang Man seem to be perfect, but as long as there is a person who is familiar with the inside story, it is easy to find that his relationship with dark chess is extraordinary.

If the saint already has any clues, as long as he doesn't say a word right, it is very likely that he will die with Xu Rui!

The more Gonggong Cao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
