197. The wicked present

Or did Lu He ask about me only to find that Yan Qi hadn't come back for a long time in the past, strange, why didn't he come back when he went to the stove to find seasoning dishes? Is the stove room far away? Just as he was turning his mind, he heard footsteps running towards him, and turned his head to look, only to see the city guard running profusely sweating, with a panicked face, and when he entered the courtyard gate, he shouted loudly: "Oh no, no, it's not good, the fight has started." ”

Someone heard the sound and asked, "Who started the fight?" ”

"It's a minor general and an older general."

Hearing this, my heart tightened, and I blurted out: "Is the little general you said good-looking, tall and thin?" ”

The city guard nodded again and again: "Exactly, the minister really can't persuade him, and he was injured by mistake." As he spoke, he stretched out his arm, and a black blue came to his mind.

How could Yan Qi fight with someone? I felt that the chair next to me moved, and Ah Ping, who was originally sitting, had already gotten up and hurriedly dropped a sentence: "I'll take a look." He hurried towards the courtyard gate, and followed without thinking.

When he got out of the backyard, he noticed that there seemed to be footsteps behind him, and he subconsciously turned his head and saw Zhu Di and a group of people following behind. When I looked back, my gaze caught and met in the air.

Suddenly realized that it would only be Zhu Di's subordinates who would contradict Yan Qi. First of all, the people of the city guard can control themselves, so they will not come to the rescue in such a panic, and he also shouted that it is a small general and an older one, except for Uncle Mu, the rest of the brocade guards brought over by us are all young generations, and they have a very good relationship along the way, so it can only be a dispute with Zhu Di's subordinates.

When we came to the front hall, we saw at a glance that Yan Qi was fighting with a middle-aged man, and he was still angry. Although I don't know martial arts, I can also see that Yan Qi has left room and does not exert his strength, but the middle-aged man is pressing everywhere.

Suddenly, I heard a deep shout from the side: "Qing'an, stop for this king!" ”

You don't need to turn your head to know that it was Zhu Di who stepped forward to drink, and that person was really his subordinate. At the same time, Ah Ping also called Yan Qi's name: "Xiao Qi, step down." ”

Yan Qi immediately withdrew his hand when he heard the sound, but unexpectedly, the person named Qing'an did not withdraw his palm, and actually hit Yan Qi in the chest with a fist, knocking him back a few steps, his face turned pale when he stopped, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood in the next moment!

I only heard the man laugh a few times and said: "It's not that I look down on you with such a little white face, it's too weak to pass the wind, and you can vomit blood if you eat my Lao An's punch." The tone was very triumphant, and the swagger in his demeanor was uncomfortable, and the words were ...... It really means to despise people.

Zhu Neng, who came later, shouted as soon as he saw the situation in the field: "Qing'an, the prince and His Royal Highness are here, don't hurry up and salute!" ”

That Qing'an only found us behind him at this time, and hurriedly walked to Zhu Di and bent down: "Subordinates, see the prince." And Zhu Di didn't answer, just stared at him with heavy eyes, and the atmosphere became stagnant in an instant.

Here, Yan Qi was also helped by the green lotus to Ah Ping, and Uncle Mu took a pulse for him, and his eyebrows frowned slightly, it seemed that the situation was not optimistic, and it was obvious that Yan Qi was not lightly injured.

Ah Ping asked, "Why did you have a dispute?" Yan Qi was silent and lowered his head.

On the other side, I heard Zhu Neng also asking: "Why did you fight with your own people?" ”

Na Qing'an glanced over here, and replied confidently: "I'll just follow this little white ...... The little brother made two jokes, but he got angry and fought with me. ”

After hearing this, Ah Ping turned around and took a step closer to ask: "Xiao Qi, is he telling the truth?" ”

But Yan Qi still buried his face, like a stuffy gourd. I am also secretly anxious on the side, although the two armies are brothers in life and death when they fight, but in the end there is still a difference, not to mention the clear distinction, but the Yan army and the soldiers of the court who came with us are more or less gaps. At this time, both parties were present, and in order to mediate this dispute, Yan Qi had to tell the whole story.

I believe that he is by no means an impulsive person, coupled with the rudeness between Qing'an's words, I have heard all the words such as "little white face". But if Yan Qiruo has been silent, even if Ah Ping wants to protect him, it will be difficult to do it in full view of everyone.

The army has its own military discipline, and if it is bent on protecting its shortcomings, it will only be said that it is covering up for subordinates.

I was worried here, but Qing'an actually spoke again: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this, of course what I said is true." The arrogance of his attitude made me angry, and I was about to scold Ah Ping when I took a step forward and grabbed my hand.

At this moment, Zhu Di, who had been silent, suddenly shouted angrily: "Presumptuous, who allowed you to speak like this to His Highness?" ”

Qing'an was taken aback, and his body shook and immediately turned around, "Lord Wang, I'm just ......"

And Zhu Di didn't give him a chance to say more, and cut off angrily: "The army has military rules, General Zhu, what punishment should be given for fighting privately with colleagues according to military discipline?" Zhu Neng immediately replied: "You should be fined twenty military sticks." ”

"Drag it out and execute." Zhu Di ordered.

His subordinates didn't dare to disobey his orders, and someone immediately stepped forward to escort Qing'an, and Qing'an looked shocked and pointed at Yan Qi and shouted, "Then he should also be punished for the same crime!" ”

Zhu Di didn't say anything, but the generals present all turned their heads to look at this side, their eyes fell on Ah Ping's face, obviously waiting for Ah Ping's order. I still remember the scene when Zhu Gaoxu was punished in the army before, just ten military sticks had already beaten him so that he couldn't walk. But Yan Qi had just been injured a lot, and he could still survive another twenty military sticks?

Turning his eyes to Zhu Gaoxu, he happened to be looking at me, and after his eyes met for a moment, he received the worry in my eyes, and hesitated to persuade: "Father, that Yan Qi is probably injured and can't be punished again, it's better to ......"

However, Qing'an refused to buy it, that is, even if he died, he had to pull a cushion, he cut off Zhu Gaoxu's words: "What is injured or not injured, it is just a punch from me." Let's just say that he and his master are both soft and weak little white faces, are you afraid now? If you're afraid, just say it, don't wait for the next stick to hit it and cry for your father. ”

As soon as these words came out, my face also changed, and before I could be angry, I heard Yan Qixian jump out and shout angrily: "You still dare to slander my son-in-law!" I have repeatedly tolerated you before, you can scold me, but you are not allowed to scold my son-in-law. ”

"Your son-in-law is just relying on the emperor's ......" Qing'an's words didn't finish speaking, and he saw a flash in front of him, and his people had been kicked out, and the person who kicked him was Zhu Di, who was full of anger.

Even so, I couldn't hold back my anger at this time, took a step forward, and stared at Qing'an who fell to the ground with a smile: "What did you just say that my son-in-law was just relying on?" The emperor's love, or the identity of the royal family? Actually, what you want to scold is not that Yan Qi is a little white face, but that you want to scold my son-in-law, right? Or, you've already scolded? I chuckled, turned my eyes to Zhu Di, and a coldness shot out of my eyes, "A colleague's private fight is a cane beating twenty, so what is the crime of blaspheming the emperor's authority and insulting the emperor's grandson?" Lord Yan. ”

Ah Ping's palm was still holding my hand, very tight, but he did not stop me from speaking on this occasion, and let me seek justice for my husband. No matter what Qing'an is and what merits he has made, but if he is connived at now, it will be to sweep Ah Ping's prestige to the ground, and the rest of the generals will also despise Ah Ping like Qing'an.

And this kind of war of words should not be Ah Ping himself, then this wicked person might as well have me as the one.

Zhu Di's face was cold, I am afraid that he didn't expect things to develop to this point, and slowly turned to Qing'an's eyes, making his whole body tremble. Seeing this, Zhu Neng on the side wanted to ask for mercy: "Lord, Qing'an is just a little reckless, please be able to be light." ”

I laughed, "Reckless? General Zhu, I respect you for your courage and skill on the battlefield, but you are too indecisive in dealing with disputes between generals and generals. Could it be," he paused intentionally, "Do you want to make the entire Yan army bear the charge of insulting the imperial family and blaspheming the imperial authority because of him alone?" Or let the prince bear the name of not being strict and shielding his colleagues? ”

Zhu Neng was so frightened that he staggered back, not daring to say another word.

At this time, Zhu Di slowly turned his eyes to look at me, the emotions in his eyes were indescribable, but he heard his cold tone and ordered word by word: "Blaspheming the imperial authority and insulting the royal family should be punished!" Come on, drag Qing'an down. ”

At this time, Qing'an, who was still rolling on the ground, finally knew that he was afraid, "No, my subordinates are guilty, please spare your life." ”

However, Zhu Di just waved his hand, and immediately two people stepped forward to drag Qing'an away, no matter how much he yelled, no one dared to persuade him at this time. Seeing that I was really about to be dragged out of the horizon, I secretly took Ah Ping's hand, and the next moment I heard him raise his voice and say, "Slow." ”

At that moment, everyone turned their eyes to look at him, and the two people who were dragging Qing'an away also stopped to look at Zhu Di's face, and waited there after getting the information from his face. Ah Ping's tone was clear and melodious, enough for everyone present to hear: "Although there are evil sins, but remember his courage on the battlefield, devote himself to the country, and forget about death, so let him be spared the death penalty." ”

I don't know what others think at the moment, but I feel shocked, and there is not even any anger in a few words, but I already have the momentum of an emperor. Even though his face was still a little pale, he was not angry.

As an emperor, what you want is this kind of grace and power, which not only makes him feel the grace, but also shocks the majesty.

To be able to achieve this effect, I really feel that I have done a good job as a "wicked person".
