The book is only presented to the emperor by the boss, and it is a big crime to read the book privately, not to mention that Jing Mofeng has just returned to Beijing with the book, if he admits that he sent someone to secretly check the book, I am afraid that the emperor will be suspicious!

At that moment, the third prince's mind turned sharply, and he replied: "No." ”

"Then how did the imperial brother know the contents of the surrender letter?"

Jing Mofeng asked again, but without waiting for the third prince to answer, he took out a silk book from his arms, walked to the hall and presented it to the emperor, and said: "Erchen is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he brought back a copy of the national book of Lieliang State." ”

Chen Debu took it and presented it to the emperor, who unfolded the letter and looked at it, and said happily: "Okay! It is so good that it signed a hundred-year non-aggression pact with the Lieliang Kingdom! ”

Hearing the emperor say this, the three princes were stunned again, at that time, Lieliang sent a letter of surrender saying that if there was Jing Mofeng in one day, he would never invade, and it spread throughout the entire army, and he had clearly sent someone to secretly check the letter of surrender before, and it was indeed written like that, how did it become a hundred-year non-aggression covenant at this time?

It's just that the three princes reacted in the next moment, just now Jing Mofeng said the national letter, not the descending book!

The eyes of the third prince were gloomy as a sea of ink, if he hadn't left the capital at the beginning, this battle might have been him leading the troops to fight, and it should be him who was the supreme glory at this time, not the waste!

Since he lost the protection of his mother, he has been pressed under him, wantonly bullying but not daring to speak up, how can he deserve it!

The third prince clenched his fists tightly, and then slowly let go, with a happy look on his face, and said to the emperor at the top: "Congratulations to the emperor!" If there is no war at the border, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, which is really a happy thing, and it is no wonder that the father is so happy. You should really give a glass to the five emperor brothers. ”

In the latter sentence, the three princes said it to Jing Mofeng, Jing Mofeng got up and took the wine glass handed over by the palace people, and drank a glass with the three princes without any guilt.

The third prince laughed heartily, but the long and narrow phoenix eyes swept over a general.

The general was not the one who went on this expedition, but he was also an old general, he got up with a wine glass and said, "The last general also respects the Fifth Highness." It's just that the last general has something unclear in his heart, and he hopes that His Royal Highness the Fifth will not hesitate to give advice. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Jing Mofeng's voice is gentle.

The old general asked: "The last general heard that the Fifth Highness led the army, captured three cities in a row in three days, and attacked a hundred miles outside the capital of the Lieliang Kingdom on the seventh day, why didn't he go straight to the army to break through the Lieliang Kingdom, take the Lieliang Kingdom, and become a subsidiary of my Tianli Dynasty, but let the Lieliang Kingdom present a letter of surrender. Can the Fifth Highness solve the doubts of the last general? ”

As soon as the general's words fell, the originally lively hall instantly fell silent, and almost everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to listen to Jing Mofeng's explanation, and even the emperor's gaze was implied majestic and shot towards Jing Mofeng.

Only Ling Qingrui quietly took a fruit and gnawed it slowly, but she thought sarcastically in her heart, if she didn't go to the battlefield to fight one by one, she knew that in the rear, Jing Mofeng won the battle, and was repeatedly harassed, I really don't know if if she was defeated, would she be directly eaten alive by these people.

Thinking like this, Ling Qingrui felt a little sympathetic to Jing Mofeng, and her eyes fell on him lightly, but she suddenly saw the palace man who had been standing behind him and was in charge of pouring him wine, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she quietly summoned Bing Yan, who was standing behind her, and said a few words.

In the face of the doubts of the three princes, everyone looked at each other, but Jing Mofeng stood up, as if he didn't notice it at all, took out something similar to a book from his arms, rubbed it lightly in the palm of his hand, and then asked: "Two imperial brothers, do you know what this is?" ”

The second prince said a little impatiently: "The old general is asking you, you just answer, I don't have that leisure and guess what this is." ”

Jing Mofeng smiled lightly, then put away his smile, and said with a solemn face: "The second emperor brother can't guess, I don't know what this is, I guess the old general knows what this is, but he didn't take it to heart." This is the roster of the fallen in this war! ”

As soon as the words landed, the hall was quieter, and only the gentle and solemn voice of Jing Mofeng sounded in the hall.

The old general asked Mo Feng why he didn't take advantage of the victory to take the Lieliang Kingdom, but the old general knew how many soldiers were killed, how many soldiers were seriously injured, and how many were slightly injured in this war? The old general doesn't know, you don't know, only the soldiers who were born and died with Mofeng and fought on the battlefield know. ”

"Once the general is successful, Mo Feng can recapture the lost city, and he can attack a hundred miles outside the capital of the Lieliang Kingdom, but he can't wave his army to attack the capital directly, just because of the price of breaking the capital of the Lieliang Kingdom, the Tianli Dynasty can't afford it!"

"It's better not to be alarmist, the five emperor brothers have already attacked outside the national capital, it's nothing more than one more city, even if the army suffers heavy losses, it should be able to take it. The fifth emperor's younger brother was stagnant outside the capital of the Lieliang Kingdom, just waiting for the Lieliang Kingdom to present a letter of surrender, could it be that he received any benefits from the Lieliang Kingdom? The second prince poured himself a drink, as if questioning, and said as if he was drunk.

The third prince had a sinister smile in his eyes, but on his face, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the second prince's words, and opened his mouth to explain for Jing Mofeng: "Please be cautious for the second emperor brother, if you want the fifth emperor brother to think about it, you will do this, how can you accept any benefits as the second emperor brother said." ”

The second prince picked up the wine glass and poured the wine into his mouth heroically, and then asked a little drunken and hazy: "What did the third emperor brother say, what benefits, the royal brother didn't see it, but he saw some fine wine, if the third emperor brother has any good wine, he might as well take it out, let his father and the imperial brother also taste it, and also get some affordable benefits, isn't it?" ”

Knowing that the second prince was deliberate, he didn't get drunk at all, but the third prince had no way to take him, everyone knew that he was reckless as a royal brother, and sometimes he would mess around regardless of the occasion, just like the last time the emperor had a big birthday, the second prince actually sprayed Chen Debu's face with flour, who can say anything about him.

However, the effect he wanted had already appeared, and the words of receiving benefits did not come out of his mouth, the second prince thought, gently picked up the wine on the table, and said: "Sure enough, it is good wine, no wonder the second emperor brothers are drunk." ”

At this moment, a minister stood up suddenly, knelt down in the hall, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister should not have said this at this time, but after thinking about it, the old minister thought that if he didn't say it, he was really sorry for the emperor's kindness to the old minister." What the old minister said is related to today's celebration banquet, please ask the emperor for permission. ”

The emperor sank like water, but Ling Qingrui clearly noticed that the smile in the emperor's eyes had long disappeared, replaced by a trace of impatience and anger, but these impatience and anger disappeared without a trace in an instant when she looked at Prince De.

Ling Qingrui shook her head slightly, and said in her heart that she was really stunned, because of what happened before, she didn't see anything right.

I heard the emperor say to Prince De with a smile: "Brother Wang, look at these ministers, when they are so happy, they don't let me worry, Brother Wang thinks it's better to let him say it or not to say it?" ”

The cicadas in Prince De's ears did not stop, especially when the emperor spoke to him, the voice in his ears increased greatly, making him almost crazy, his fingers clenched the wine glass hard, and secretly took a few deep breaths, before he could be regarded as suppressing this irritability, pulled out a faint smile, and said: "The imperial brother has always been diligent in political affairs, and these ministers naturally dare not slack off." The younger brother thinks that no matter when and where, it is a political matter that matters, what does the imperial brother think? ”

The emperor laughed when he heard this, as if he was very happy to hear Prince De say this, he shook his head half helplessly and half jokingly, and said, "You, you, according to what you say...... Since Prince De said so, let me say anything about it. ”

The first sentence was said to Prince De, and the latter sentence was said to the minister kneeling in the palace, but the emperor didn't seem to notice, and when he laughed, the cup in Prince De's hand was almost crushed.

After receiving permission, the minister said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Before, the Second Highness said that it was not for the Fifth Highness that received any benefits, so that he would only besiege the Lieliang Kingdom and not attack it, the emperor and everyone would think that this was just a joke, but the old minister said that it was not a joke! ”

"Not a joke?" The movement in the emperor's hand paused, and he asked with a little hesitation.

"It's not a joke!"

The minister said categorically: "The children of Lao Chen's nephews and grandchildren, in the army of this expedition, before the palace banquet began, he found an opportunity to find Lao Chen, and told Lao Chen about the conspiracy!" ”

"The army led by the Fifth Highness seriously injured Rong Shengjie, the Lieliang Kingdom Liewang Rongshengjie, this Lieliang Country was all supported by Rong Shengjie, Rong Shengjie fell, Lieliang Country had no one who could lead the troops, and suddenly made a mess of scattered sand, in such a situation, the Fifth Highness ordered a siege but not an attack, the nephew of the old minister was very puzzled, and at the instigation of several colleagues, he went to the Fifth Highness to ask about this matter, who knows......"

"Who knows, but he inadvertently saw that the Fifth Highness actually met privately with the National Teacher of Lieliang State, and the National Teacher of Lieliang promised His Highness many benefits, and His Royal Highness promised not to wave the army to attack, just let Lieliang State present a letter of surrender."

After the old minister finished speaking, he paused again and said: "What the old minister said is true, I hope the emperor will see it!" ”

This remark made the whole hall quiet, no one thought that someone would say such a thing at such a time, the meaning of his words was to say it clearly, Jing Mofeng colluded with Lieliang Kingdom, and gained countless benefits, but betrayed the Tianli Dynasty, maybe even this victory was planned by Jing Mofeng and Lieliang Kingdom!

The emperor's face had already sunk, and he stared at Jing Mofeng for a long time, then slowly moved to the minister kneeling there, and asked: "You said that Jing Mofeng colluded with Lieliang Guo and was guilty of treason, is there any evidence?" ”
