Chapter 1024: The Black Cauldron

Only let Xie Jingchen take away an antidote, and Su Jin planned to come back with a pension for those soldiers who died on the battlefield in Daqi.

Covet her things, how can you not teach her a hard lesson?

But she originally intended to ask for 50,000 taels.

After all, the antidote that was taken away cured the poison of the protector, and threatened the lives of the soldiers of Daqi, asking for 50,000 taels.

It's just that people really don't give it, is it so difficult that she can really sit back and watch the lives of those captured Great Qi soldiers disregard?

It's just that the general sent by Nanliang to negotiate peace was stupid, and his mouth exposed the fact that the protector had not been detoxified.

And thenβ€”

Dongxiang Hou sat on the ground and started the price.

If it was just to save others, the Southern Liang Protector would definitely bargain, even if the worst result was a collapse, it would not be him who died.

He is still the meat on the chopping block of Daqi, does he dare to bargain?

found out the spies, and also pitted Nanliang by the way, how beautiful and beautiful this battle was.

Originally, Dongxiang Hou could still provoke again, so that the general who came to the peace talks couldn't eat and walked around.

But he thought about it and didn't say that it was a good thing for Daqi to have more such soldiers around the Duke of Protector.

The Protector of the Kingdom has been detoxified, but the anger is even greater.

lost the city, was robbed by others, and also damaged the chess pieces that Chongguo Gong had cultivated with great difficulty, and suffered heavy losses.

But what's more of a headache for him is still to come-

The day after he recovered, a holy decree was sent from Kyoto, reprimanding General Shi and demoting him to two ranks.

When the father-in-law held high the holy decree and entered the barracks, General Shi never dreamed that this holy decree was given to him.

Since he fought the Protector and marched into the barracks, none of the ideas he came up with, the Protector has not adopted any of them.

It was not his fault that he lost the city, and no amount of punishment could be punished on his head.

But this holy decree was given to him, and the dog blood that scolded him directly scolded General Shi Da.

General Shi has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and has lost the battle, and he has been introspecting, but this does not mean that he has to carry the black pot for the protector.

He fell to his knees and refused to answer.

The father-in-law of the decree looked uneasy, "General Shi, still don't accept the order?" ”

General Shi smiled coldly, "It's not my fault that I lost the city, the emperor was deceived by others, and I gave this holy decree, how can I accept it?!" ”

General Shi's voice was coercive and loud.

How the city was lost, the officers and men in the army know.

Just pressed the fault on his head, if he really accepted this holy decree, then he would really become a soft persimmon, and let the protector take care of it!

General Shi thought that it was the protector who made him carry the black pot.

The Protector didn't expect this to be the case, but now that the emperor has ordered General Shi to belittle, it is a good thing for him, and he has no reason not to continue?

Moreover, the emperor was angry because of the loss of the city, and demoted Shi to the second rank of general, and he really wanted to withdraw the holy decree, knowing that he was wrong, he would only be more angry.

Although he took advantage of General Shi's successive defeats to suppress him, General Shi's prestige in the army cannot be underestimated, and the emperor in order to appease his anger, even if he does not degrade him by two levels, at least one level is ironclad and cannot escape.

The Protector looked at General Shi and said, "Is General Shi going to resist and disobey?" ”

General Shi clenched his fists and stood up directly.

He said that he would not accept this holy decree!

Inside the tent.

Xie Jingchen and Dong Chenglang are still recuperating from their injuries.

They hadn't been out of the tent for two days.

Outside the tent, there was the sound of footsteps, eagerness, and the depth of the mess.

The curtain was lifted, and Young Master Shi walked in angrily.

Dong Chenglang saw it and said, "What's wrong, my cousin is so angry?" ”

He didn't know about the emperor sending someone to announce the decree.

Young Master Shi suppressed his anger and said this.

Dong Chenglang didn't dare to look at Master Shi's eyes with a weak heart.

He glanced at Xie Jingchen and saw Xie Jingchen frowning, with the same anger on Young Master Shi's face, but he didn't have a weak heart.

Dong Chenglang felt that he was really not Xie Jingchen's opponent.

How can he pretend to be nothing?

But seeing his cousin's surging anger, and thinking of his uncle, Dong Chenglang felt that there was at least eighty percent hope for what he wanted to help, and he said, "Did your uncle accept the order?" ”

Young Master Shi didn't speak, and the blue tendons on his forehead were the best proof.

General Shi's acceptance of the order was expected by Xie Jingchen.

Emperor Nanliang was narrow-minded and made a wrong holy decree, which would inevitably lead to a big loss of face.

General Shi is far away at the border, and the emperor has nothing to do with him, but don't forget that General Shi's wife and the Shi family juniors are still in Kyoto, under the nose of Emperor Nanliang.

For the sake of the overall situation, General Shi has to carry this black pot if he doesn't carry it.

If General Shi is busy and does not accept this holy decree and declares that his father-in-law will bring it back as it is, then it will not be much fun for him to toss this time.

General Shi was already angry, and this humiliating decree would keep him on the verge of anger.

People are more likely to do wrong things when they are angry.

The Lord Protector has been looking for trouble with him again......

It shouldn't be long before he can return to Daqi.

Young Master Shi is angry, one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, Dong Chenglang persuaded him not to be angry, "The protector of the country covets the military power in the hands of his uncle, and it is expected that there will be such a result." ”

Young Master Shi clenched his fists.

Xie Jingchen felt that now was not a good time to win over Young Master Shi, and he said, "The general is angry, don't do anything stupid." ”

Young Master Shi knew his father's temper, so he quickly got up and left.

Dong Chenglang looked at Xie Jingchen and said, "What do you persuade your cousin to do, my uncle and the protector will fight." ”

Xie Jingchen, "....... ”

The corners of Xie Jingchen's mouth twitched and twitched.

I don't know what kind of bad luck General Shi had in his last life, and he had such a nephew.

Dong Chenglang thought about it, got up from the bed, and took a pen and paper for Xie Jingchen.

Xie Jingchen looked at him and said, "What is this for?" ”

"Write a letter," Dong Chenglang said.

He whispered, "Your plan is so good, I think it could be used again." ”

Xie Jingchen was confused.

Listening to Dong Chenglang's words, Xie Jingchen was completely convinced.

People don't just pit their uncles, they even pit themselves.

Dong Chenglang brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to Xie Jingchen, asking Xie Jingchen to write a letter to frame himself.

Let Xie Jingchen write in the letter that Daqi gave a bottle of antidote, and it was Dong Chenglang, the son of the Marquis of Changning, who deliberately brought back only one, in order to separate the Duke of Protector and his henchmen, and to cause Nanliang to lose 100,000 taels with a narrow heart.

Dong Chenglang wants to pit himself, does Xie Jingchen have a reason to stop him?

Definitely not.

Here, Xie Jingchen is writing a secret letter, and the Protector is talking secretly with the Xuanzhi father-in-law.

The matter is getting bigger, and the father-in-law naturally knows that General Shi is innocent.

That's what the Lord Protector said to him.

He hoped that the father-in-law would make a mistake, and he would not tell the emperor about it.

The father-in-law of the Xuan Zhi smiled and said, "Since General Shi has accepted the order, it is equivalent to admitting this crime, so why should I have nothing to do?" ”

"It's just that the emperor is very angry when he loses the city one after another, and the prince of the country should not let the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince down."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to be overjoyed, and it is time to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on regaining the city."
