Chapter 68: His Royal Highness Orders
As soon as the news came out, the General's Mansion was like a pot of boiling water.
A little maid dared to collude with foreign forces to assassinate the wife of the general's mansion, although it did not succeed, her heart was vicious, her deeds were bad, and she was spurned by everyone.
In order to protect himself, his lord insisted that he did not know anything and left everything behind. The maidservant Ah Lian also admitted that she was the only one who did it, and it had nothing to do with her master; Although the discerning people knew that it was impossible, they were helpless, after all, they could not find any evidence that was directly related to Jiang Li.
This marriage is a bridge for the emperor to match, and it is not good to look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha, and it is not good to really drive people out of the house with a letter of resignation, so he had to order a lifetime ban, not to leave the house, without the permission of the general, and not to contact anyone.
The people below talked about it, and no one dared to serve the Jiang family anymore, so Guan Duyuan had to re-select two handy maids and call Jiang Li. It is called a call, but in fact it is not surveillance.
Without winning the Jiang clan in one fell swoop, Guan Duyuan had long expected that this situation might be today, after all, Jiang Li was a person with a strong background. The contact network laid by the Jiang family is to remind the people behind her that those who should be restrained must be restrained, and those who should be stopped must be stopped; If you don't repent, the consequences will be even worse.
Although Jingyu was a little sullen, he didn't particularly mind what the general said. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, unless one hand covers the sky, no one dares to really do anything.
Suddenly, he was almost uprooted, and the Jiang family was caught off guard, and the most sad and angry thing was that among the several lines that were eradicated, there was also a cousin. She was sad and sad, she folded her personal maid, and lost the news chain that she had been operating with the prince for many years.
She was furious, but fortunately the shrewd maid took all the blame for her, claiming that she did it alone and had nothing to do with her master, so she was able to get out, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
What's the difference between being locked up here now and being on death row? It's not a day to sit and eat and wait for death, she is extremely angry, she goes crazy like crazy, smashing things in the room, but the gains outweigh the losses, and no one will buy her new ones if she messes up.
After Chang learned what happened in the house, he was not only a little happy about what happened to the Jiang family, but also a little afraid, thinking that he was fortunate to listen to the general's words, otherwise she would be the only one who would end up like the Jiang family. It's natural to be happy, after all, the Jiang family had a lot of festivals with her at the beginning, and instigating her to frame her wife was just one of them, and Jiang Li didn't use any of the tricks that women used to fight with Chang Wan.
However, she is not the kind of person who falls into the trap, she will not take advantage of others' danger, even if Jiang Li used to make things difficult for her, and even hurt her, now that she has been punished, she simply does not join in the fun.
Peony didn't understand very much and persuaded her to take the opportunity to take revenge, but she just shook her head. In the past, she could fight and fight, because she didn't care what kind of impact it would bring to the house; But now, she cares, she cares if this house is okay, she cares about whether that person is happy.
Once a person has someone or something he cares about, he has a weakness, and it is impossible to be invincible.
Chang Wan's calmness, Guan Duyuan was a little impressed, he felt that Chang Wan should have made a move, unexpectedly not, it seems that that person has really changed completely.
He has an intuition that Chang Wan will be someone he can rely on in the future.
On the official road, the sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and the dust and smoke that bounced up filled the curtain behind him.
The palace of the imperial city, there are many ministers, including the grounded Nine Princes, the Nine Princes were released, it seems that this is indeed not a trivial matter. The people on the throne were angry, with a posture of wanting to devour their lives alive, and above the court, there was no sound, and there was a dead silence.
The emperor was still holding the letter silk that had just been presented in his hand, his knuckles were white, and his eyes were about to be stared out. He was really extremely angry, and the letter said that Beiyuan had formally formed an alliance with the neighboring Great Food Country, intending to rebel against the Great Plains Country's grain requisition policy.
The courtiers were respectful, for fear that one would get into trouble if they were not careful. The emperor glanced at the people in the hall, all shrugged their heads, how did they look like a thief's eyebrows, the more angry they became, and with a "snap", the emperor threw the letter in his hand towards the minister.
They all immediately knelt on the ground, eager to lie on the ground and fall asleep, except for the words "Your Majesty is angry", no one seemed to dare to say a word more. No one dared to pick up the letter that fell to the ground, only the Nine Princes peeked at the emperor.
This made His Majesty the Emperor even more annoyed.
"What do I want you to do? Take the court's money, enjoy the respect of the people, enjoy the glory and wealth, and live a good life, but what about you? At the critical moment, everyone became dumb, and they couldn't say a useful word! ”
Courtiers: "Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon!" ”
The man on the throne scoffed, "Rest your anger! Calm your anger! Look at you, one by two, how do I calm my anger? ”
The courtiers prostrate even lower, their foreheads almost pressed against the ground, silent, and now they didn't even dare to say a word of "Your Majesty is angry".
This time the emperor was even more angry, he stood up from the throne, stretched out his right hand and pointed to the courtiers kneeling in the main hall, slowly moved, pointed a whole circle, and finally, with a flick, the dragon sleeves flew up, and he hung his hand helplessly.
He said angrily, "Get up! ”
Courtiers: "Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
After a while, everyone got up one after another, still bowing their heads, and their heads didn't dare to be a little higher, for fear that their heads would come out higher than others.
The emperor looked at the Nine Princes and asked the Nine Princes by name, "Old Nine, what do you think?" ”
The Nine Princes were grounded for several months, and they were deprived of their fiefdoms, which was suddenly raised, he understood that there must be something important, and if he didn't say why, it was estimated that the punishment would be aggravated, and if he performed well, the previous punishment might be written off.
As a person who dreams of turning over, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity. Judging from his observation of the emperor since entering the palace, the emperor wanted to go to war, but he didn't know that when he was promoted to the dynasty last time, the crown prince advocated war before he was rewarded.
The Nine Kings weighed the pros and cons, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the criminal ministers think that they should be beaten, the country of the small Fan State, so not to put our Dayuan in their eyes, it is simply too deceitful, not to mention that the father can't bear this breath, and the criminal ministers can't bear this breath!" My Great Plains Kingdom rules the world with martial arts, and above this hall, there are many people who are good at leading troops to go on expeditions, and they are afraid that he will not succeed in a small state? ”
The words of the ninth prince reached the emperor's heart, and he immediately looked pleasant, "What kind of criminal minister, from now on, lift the ban, return the fief, and contribute to the court!" ”
The Nine Princes immediately knelt on the ground to thank him, and he was so complacent. The prince's face on the side sank a lot, but it was not good to attack, after all, this was above the court, and everyone watched.
The courtiers praised His Majesty's wisdom and congratulated the Nine Kings on regaining their fiefdoms.
The emperor said: "It's rare that my two emperors want to think of a piece, then fight, is Beiyuan bullying no one in the court?" What the Nine Kings said is that there are many people who are good at leading troops in the middle of the court, and they are not afraid! Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”
In addition to praising the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, those ministers really seem to have nothing to say, and they are all frightened birds. When the emperor saw it, he was extremely dissatisfied, and in the end, the nine kings and the crown prince took the lead and mentioned General Duyuan who was stationed at the border pass.
It's not that the ministers didn't think of General Dusk Yuan, but it's hard to mention that if the two countries are at war, the biggest threat is still General Zhenyuan, who is in an enemy country, and once they fight, they may be the first to be disposed of. The royal family doesn't care about it, because the identity is there, and if the minister doesn't care about it, it is to make enemies with the Guan family.
Hearing the emperor's decision to start fighting, Guan Duyuan was uneasy, not only worried about his father who was far away in the enemy country, but also worried about the people in the house. If he can't propose peace, he will be branded as having no loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and if he can't propose a fight, he will be talked about by the world as having no virtue and no filial piety, so he can only let it go.
The emperor spoke, "What the prince said to Lao Jiu is reasonable, and it should be that General Duyuan who is stationed at the border pass should lead the troops to the battle. Twilight? ”
Guan Duyuan had to come out of the queue slightly, clasped his fists with both hands, and said respectfully, "Weichen is here!" ”
The emperor immediately squeezed out a little smile, "It's up to you to fight, I can rest assured, the generations of knighthoods have made outstanding achievements, especially when you are far away, you became famous at a young age, and you have made great achievements!" This time, you will lead the troops, and your father and son will be able to meet, and after the victory, you will personally escort General Zhenyuan back to the court! ”
The words are very good, and after the victory, he was personally escorted back to the DPRK, so what if he was defeated? Don't you have to come back? If you don't escort back to the court, you will still be put on a hat of treason and betrayal, and you will never be able to return to your hometown, and you will never be able to raise your head and be a man.
Royal, this wishful thinking is really good!
Guan Duyuan had no choice but to accept the order and kneel on the ground: "Weichen receives the order!" Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
When Guan Duyuan came out of the main hall, the sky was gray, and the heavy haze sank, crushing the entire imperial city as if it was about to collapse. He wasn't in the mood to look at the sky, and when the courtiers passing by him greeted him, he only replied perfunctorily.
When he left the gate of the imperial city, he glanced back at the palace, and after a long time, he turned around and left, as if he had fled.
