"Theory?" Ji Zeyu said coldly: "You are disobeying military orders, and you dare to sophistry in front of the saint!" ”

"Although you are the temporary commander of the Tiger Army, you don't understand the internal affairs of the Tiger Army, and it is easy to cause the army to lose heart! Since we have been entrusted with important responsibilities by the trust of the saint, we must be loyal to the saint wholeheartedly, you are just a new official who takes office and wants to be autocratic, but now you are embarrassed to say what military orders are not military orders! ”

"That's it, you just want dictatorship! Ignoring the original pattern of our Tiger Army, we want to do it indiscriminately. I don't know where you put the interests of the country and the trust of the Holy One! ”

……

Six people opened their mouths and crusaded against Ji Zeyu together. Ji Zeyu is not the kind of person who is good at words, at this time, one person may not be able to argue with six people, maybe he disdains to fight with these people, so he just stood in place with a cold face and his hands, but his face became darker and darker, and he was obviously on the verge of patience.

Li Qitian quietly let them quarrel, taking the opportunity to observe their expressions and expressions to determine whether they were really arguing or making an appointment.

To be honest, although he trusts Ji Zeyu more, he doesn't trust it completely, and he will have some doubts and defenses in his heart. When he reached the most critical time, he handed over the task of taking down Xiao Xiao to Ji Zeyu, but Ji Zeyu temporarily made such a mess to ruin his good deeds, how could Li Qitian not doubt it?

However, Li Qitian has carefully observed for so long, but there is no flaw at all, Ji Zeyu and the six old coarse people have indeed reached the point where they hate each other so much that they can't kill each other. Li Qitian felt that if he hadn't been in charge now, they might have drawn their swords on the spot.

Since Ji Zeyu is not colluding with people in the Tiger Army, there are two possibilities. Either the people of the Tiger Ben Army were instructed by Xiao Xiao and chose to make trouble at this time. Either Ji Zeyu's stinky temper was left in the Tiger Ben Army and caused public anger, these people didn't buy his account, and the anger had accumulated to a certain extent, and it exploded when the Xiao Xiao came back.

While Li Qitian was pondering, the atmosphere between Ji Zeyu and the six people had stiffened to a certain extent, and they were almost about to start.

Li Qitian didn't want to make a big deal out of it, let alone see them make trouble under his nose, so he said, "Shut up." ”

Li Qitian's voice was neither high nor low, but it was a holy decree.

Everyone obeyed and fell silent, and realized that their arguing behavior in the imperial study was excessive, and they all hung their heads.

Li Qitian sneered and said, "You are so bold, you dare to shout like this in my imperial study, do you still want to rebel!" ”

"Ministers are convicted, please forgive your sins." The seven knelt down and saluted together.

Li Qitian reprimanded: "No matter what Ji Lan's order is, he is the commander selected by me, and he can trust his ability to command the army, and he also intends to hand over all matters in the Tiger Ben army to him." You only have to obey the orders of the army, do you know? ”

The six of them had nothing to say for a while, and after a while, they responded: "Yes." ”

Li Qitian looked at these six people, thought about it, and made sure that they were all capable people around Xiao Xiao, and his heart was full of joy.

Such a good opportunity, if you can seize the opportunity to take them all down, wouldn't you lose the help of six in the army at once?

Thinking of this, Li Qitian was so excited in his letter that he almost said his will to kill the six people.

But after thinking about it, although the six of them are not as famous as Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu, they are all military generals who have served the court for many years, if they are all killed at once, it is of course okay to insist that they are motivated to rebel because of the house arrest boss, but this statement can easily arouse the suspicion of the outside world about him.

has just experienced the incident, and Li Qitian can no longer stand the gossip from the outside world.

Thinking of this, Li Qitian said: "You wait for the commander under house arrest and disobey the holy decree, and your crime should be punished!" ”

The faces of the six people turned pale all at once, but none of them panicked, and they all lowered their heads and waited for Li Qitian's next will.

Li Qitian saw that these people were so calm, and his heart was a little panicked.

Could it be that they really did this after listening to Xiao Xiao's orders, and they had a reliance in their hearts, and decided that he would not kill them?

Li Qitian's hand tightly grasped the armrest of the chair.

He really wanted to kill people to vent his anger. But when I thought that my reputation was the most important, I finally endured it.

"However, I have been loyal to the country for many years, and I have also spilled blood and tears on the battlefield, so I don't care about you. However, the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped. Come! ”

"Yes!"

Twenty or thirty imperial guards suddenly poured in outside, all of them looking nervous and waiting.

Li Qitian raised his voice and said: "Strip these six people of their official uniforms, each with twenty boards, and then send them back to the mansion, strip them of all official positions, and never be hired." ”

"Yes!"

The guards immediately stepped forward.

The six people were silent and let others pick up the official mansion, leaving only their middle clothes, dragged them outside and crackled them, and after the beating, they arranged for the internal supervisors to send them back.

When the six people were tortured, Li Qitian didn't let Ji Zeyu get up, but just stared at him silently.

Ji Zeyu's face was as indifferent as usual, and after listening to the sound of the execution expressionlessly, he raised his eyes expressionlessly to meet Li Qitian's gaze.

Li Qitian said in a deep voice to those eyes that had no emotional fluctuations: "Ji Lan, you have disappointed me. ”

Ji Zeyu lowered his head, pursed his red lips, and his long eyelashes cast two shadows on his eyelids.

Li Qitian said again: "You are also a member of the commander of the Longxiang Army for many years, and I don't believe that your ability will make things develop into the way they are now." ”

Speaking of this, Li Qitian stood up and walked in front of Ji Zeyu step by step. Looking down at Ji Zeyu's kneeling posture, the anger that had been forcibly suppressed erupted again.

Li Qitian put a foot on Ji Zeyu's shoulder.

Ji Zeyu didn't dodge or dodge, he was kicked and lay to the ground.

"Ji Lan! You dare to say that you didn't mean to do today! You know how important today's events are to the imperial court, and you are obviously the best opportunity to win the hidden danger in one fell swoop, but because of your inaction, all my arrangements have been in vain, and I have become a laughing stock among the people in the court! ”

Ji Zeyu got up and knelt down again, his voice was still as cold as usual, and his emotions did not fluctuate: "The minister did this for the sake of the saint." ”

When Li Qitian heard this, his anger once again "rubbed" to a new height.

"You admit it? You really did it on purpose! That day, Li Guanwen saw that your control of the Tiger Ben Army was not fake. You were able to summon those people like your own right and left hands, and there was no reason why they would put you under house arrest at a critical moment! Don't I know what you're capable of? You told me that you were under house arrest, but I didn't believe it in the first place! ”
