Chapter 246: Intercession

In the early dynasty, Long Qingchen praised the generals of the frontier again.

The next step is to reward everyone.

But before the emperor could make a decree, a group of meritorious generals knelt in front of the hall together.

"Emperor Qi, the generals of Northern Xinjiang, do not ask for this reward. I only ask the emperor to open the grace of heaven, and I am grateful to the former general Zhenbei for being able to be lightly dismissed, and the last general and others. ”

Huan Bo pleaded with sorrow.

"Please let Your Majesty open heaven!"

The other generals echoed the voice.

After their words fell, everyone's happy faces tightened little by little.

All of them looked at their noses and noses, and they looked intently at the ground under their feet. It was as if there was something there that was attracting their attention.

And after listening to their words, the smile on Long Qingchen's face was slowly put away and became calm.

Above the main hall, there was a moment of solemnity. There is a depressing atmosphere.

And the generals kneeling on the ground were all holding their breath, waiting for the upcoming results. Although the pressure was so heavy that they felt breathless, they still knelt straight. It's not confrontation, it's just persistence.

In this silent hall, the atmosphere seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. The people on the dragon seat didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to make a sound. Even the ministers were deliberately restrained in their gasps. for fear that one of them will be careless and let disaster befall them.

Long Qingchen on the throne was silent. looked at the group of northern Xinjiang generals kneeling below, and the look in his eyes was inexplicable.

Just when all the people in the temple were overwhelmed by this heavy pressure. The man above spoke.

"What is the result of the triage of the three divisions?"

The coercive voice sounded abruptly in the main hall, making the hearts of the ministers tighten.

The secretary of the criminal department, the imperial historian, the Dali temple, and the three ministers immediately came out of the list.

"Return to the Emperor. After a series of detailed verifications, although Xiahou Rui, the general of Zhenbei, left his post without permission, there was a reason for the incident. And when leaving, he also made proper arrangements to ensure that Luo Tian would not make any mistakes after leaving. For this, it can be heavy and light.

Regarding the destruction of the northern Xinjiang pass, it is indeed inseparable from him. Although it was not his intention to disappear, it was also because he did not do everything that caused such a big disaster. Therefore, he has a great responsibility for this.

After much deliberation, the emperor can handle this matter at his discretion. ”

Liu Anbang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, bowed and returned.

After Liu Anbang's words, Long Qingchen did not speak. His face was calm, without any ups and downs, making it impossible to see what he was thinking at this time. But it looked like he was thinking about their words.

The silence for the second time made the solemn atmosphere in the hall even worse.

"This matter is postponed."

Long Qingchen spoke, but he did not come up with any conclusions, but postponed the matter.

While the generals in the hall were disappointed, they breathed a deep sigh of relief. Although the result obtained is not very ideal, but the emperor actually ordered it like this, which means that there is still a chance to ease up.

"Yes."

The crowd echoed in unison.

"In this battle in northern Xinjiang, all the generals were brave and brave. Not only retreated from the enemy, but also played my dragon and national prestige. It is really a blessing for the country that there are many people in Longteng. ”

Long Qingchen said with his usual expression, as if nothing had happened just now.

"The victory in this battle is all due to the emperor's blessings, the prince is brave, and the last general does not dare to be greedy."

As soon as the emperor's words fell, all the generals responded in unison. Although it is true that they have made military achievements, they still know how to say them.

"Hahaha, it is the prosperity of Longteng's national fortune, and it is the courage of the border soldiers.

Sun Ping! ”

He called the chief eunuch beside him.

"Yes."

After Sun Ping, who was named, answered, he took out a bright yellow holy decree, and then spread it out and read it.

Seeing this, all the courtiers knelt on the ground.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. In the first battle of northern Xinjiang, the generals were brave and strategic. It not only retreats from the enemy's borders, but also promotes our national prestige and lets the enemy know that our country is an inviolable place. Whoever touches it will be sacrificed with blood.

With the bravery of the generals, give them merit.

Feng, the general of the chariot cavalry, Fan Qi, is the commander of the Nine Gates.

Envelope......

Chin this. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live long live."

"The last general is thankful for Lord Long."

"Flat."

"Your Majesty."

All the generals were rewarded, but as the supreme commander of this battle, Yuwang Long Qingfeng did not mention anything in the holy decree.

At this time, he was standing aggrieved on the side, looking at his royal brother with a sad look in his eyes.

Receiving his younger brother's gaze, Long Qingfeng coughed embarrassedly.

It's not that he doesn't have a reward, but he really doesn't have to be rewarded. Fan Qi's reward for the Nine Gates' Admiral was still from his brother's hand.

It wasn't that he took the initiative to ask for it, but the other party tried his best to give it. In his words, Long Qingfeng, the Admiral of the Nine Gates has too many affairs and is too tired. After making such a great contribution, he must be allowed to rest.

Why, then, do people look at him with grief? Because the reward for this precious brother did not ask for it, but asked him for something else.

It was a secret treasure of the Dragon Teng Empire, so Long Qingchen did not agree immediately, but was still thinking about it.

He looked away, away from the plaintive look. He continued to discuss with the courtiers what needed to be done in Northern Xinjiang next.

……

Xiahou Rui's matter was settled three days later. Removed from the post of general of Zhenbei, he will be the general of the fourth grade, and stay in Beijing to watch and see.

As soon as this holy decree was made, the generals in the army raised their glasses and rejoiced, and at the same time they were even more grateful for the generosity of heaven.

Xiahou Rui, who was put back, sat on a chair, surrounded by all the generals and asked long and short questions, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

He replied with a chuckle, but his mind didn't know where he had gone. He never imagined that the handling of this matter would be so lenient.

This kind of treatment is simply negligible. He is a little confused, even if there are many generals who intercede for him, the emperor may be lenient on him when he sees the victory in this war. But no matter how it is, it will not be so light.

For such a result, the generals were actually very surprised in their hearts. But they can't think of a reason, so they can only think that this is the emperor's leniency......

But when two days later, another oracle came out, Xia Hourui didn't think so.

According to the general meaning of the holy message, Yan Liang, the king of Pingnan, did not obey the holy order, which was contrary to the holy will and the grace of heaven. Temporarily remove the throne of Pingnan, urge him to reflect and think about his mistakes.

Although this is not a formal decree, if the emperor is still dissatisfied with it later, it is very likely that he will issue a formal decree.

When he learned the news, Xia Hourui was stunned. When he came back to his senses, his face turned pale.

There was a voice echoing in his heart, the reason why that person angered Tianyan must be because of himself. For no reason, that's what he believed.

He guessed right, the reason why the handling this time was so light was indeed related to Yan Liang. Before they arrived in Jinyang, Yan Liang arrived first.

One is to intercede for Xiahou Rui, and the other is his business, which must be explained clearly. Although the result should be very bad, he can't let Xiahou Rui suffer the slightest grievance because of this matter.

Yan Liang inherited the throne and enjoyed all the reverence. But this does not mean that he really has everything that King Pingnan should master.

Their Yan family is a special existence, and the dragon is in charge, and they can give them infinite trust and respect. This, of course, also comes at a cost. But what it is, he doesn't know much, that's only known to the person who commands the dark army. The dark troops, that is, the hidden dragon guards beside Long Qingchen.

The ancestor of the Yan family was the guard of the Long family at the beginning. But later, he was honored by heaven and was favored by the people in power at the time. The love between the two is vigorous.

After discovering that his lover's training force was particularly powerful, he let him form a special team for himself, the Hidden Dragon Guard. And Yan Chenghan is the leader of this team.

Later, little by little, it evolved into another form. The leader of each Hidden Dragon Guard, the last lifelong belonging, is the Dragon family, but it is not limited to those in power.

Just like the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard this term, it is Yan Hao of the ancestor generation of the Yan family. And the person who lives is Longchuan, the hidden man of the Long family.

When Yan Liang came to Jinyang this time, he had to face not only the rulers of the Dragon Teng Empire, but also the ancestor Yan Hao.

Long Qingchen, the emperor, would not punish Yan Liang too heavily, that is, a lecture. If they don't listen, they will use other means.

But Yan Hao is different, he will not preach, but will list the wrong things that Yan Liang has done one by one. Penalties are imposed on them on the basis of these.

If he does not change his teachings, he will be completely deprived of the Yan family's qualifications to hold power. Only then will the emperor, Long Qingchen, issue a formal order to remove.

Yan Liang has been living a hellish life these days. But he doesn't regret it, love is love, how can he not love!

Xiahou Rui went crazy to inquire about Yan Liang's whereabouts, but found that no one in Jinyang knew that he had been here.

When the generals saw that he was in a hurry to find someone, they all thought it was because of the grace of saving his life. So they all helped him find it, but they still found nothing.

In the end, it was really impossible, Huan Bo said that it was better to go to Prince Yu. After all, we are generals outside the border, and there are limited ways to find people.

Everyone also felt justified when they heard it, and the prince of Nayu also had some friendship with them. As long as it's not too difficult, I should be able to help.

Xiahou Rui was overjoyed and went to Yuwang's Mansion with Huan Bo. After listening to what they said, Long Qingfeng felt that it was no big deal, so he responded.

He felt that even if the people sent out really couldn't find it, he just went to the imperial brother and asked. Anyway, it's not a big deal, at most, asking someone who annoys him will be scolded.

The reason why Long Qingfeng thinks so is actually very simple. Because he didn't know much about King Pingnan, a king with a foreign surname. I don't know that the relationship between the Yan family and the Long family will be so deep.

These things will only be known after becoming the true ruler of the Dragon Empire. On the other hand, only by knowing these can you truly control Longteng.

This hidden dragon guard is the dark force of the emperor who controls the entire Dragon Teng Empire.
