Zhao Yu was extremely angry, pointed at Du Qing, and said angrily: "The letter paper is in your hand, what else do you have to say?"

"King Qiyu, the general seal on the letter is indeed owned by the little nephew, but as far as the old minister knows, in addition to stamping his own seal, the generals who surrender to the enemy must also use the token as a certificate, which is also the consistent premise of surrendering to the enemy, I wonder if the king can ask General Lin to show the token?"

After Du Qing finished speaking, several generals in the court nodded one after another, and one of the generals strode out of the queue and said: "King, what the general said is right, if General Du Yu really surrenders to the enemy, he must first show the token as evidence, otherwise it will be difficult to gain the trust of the enemy." ”

Uncle Tai frowned secretly, and said in a deep voice: "So, it's a bit too far-fetched, right?"

Du Qing snorted coldly and said: "This is common knowledge in the army, and all the generals in the station can testify, how can it be far-fetched? I'm afraid that someone has a root cause and wants to frame the little nephew, right?"

Uncle Tai raised his eyebrows and asked coldly, "Who do you say has a curse?"

"Who is the prime minister, so why do you need to say more about the old man?"

"Du Qing, don't deceive people too much!"

Listening to the two of them looking at me and arguing, Zhao Yu suddenly felt that one head was two big, he waved his hand impatiently, and shouted: "The two Aiqing are quiet!"

Du Qing fell to his knees with a thud, his eyes were red, and the old man said with tears: "King, this matter is clearly that someone is deliberately framing the little nephew, pity my nephew's death is not clear, and I hope that the king will find out this matter for the sake of the old minister's loyalty for decades, and give the little nephew justice!"

Zhao Yu nodded, and said to Du Qing: "Aiqing is loyal to the imperial court, this king naturally knows it, you can rest assured, this king will definitely find out about this matter!" Saying that, Zhao Yu turned his gaze to Lin Haotian again, and said: "It is indeed too hasty to conclude that Du Yu collaborated with the enemy and treason with just one letter, in addition to this letter, do you have other proofs?"

"This ......" Lin Haotian paused for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, and his expression was still the same: "When Du Yu was captured, in addition to finding this secret letter of collaboration with the enemy, he also found a large number of gold, silver and jewelry in his camp tent, as well as some specialties of the Red Kingdom, and all the generals in Shuangfeng City can testify to this matter. ”

"Hmph!" Du Qing pointed at the tip of Lin Haotian's nose and shouted angrily: "Yellow-haired child, a little trick like yours is okay to fool ordinary people, but don't want to fool the old man! Today, if you can't come up with other certificates, the old man will never give up!"

"How does the general want to confirm it, do you have to ask the commander of the Red Army to ask him?"

“haha――”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty laughed, and even Zhao Yu, who was originally tight-faced, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but relying on the monarch's face, he didn't laugh out loud.

Hearing everyone's ridicule, Du Qing's face became more and more ugly, his body trembled, and he said with a gloomy face: "What a brilliant! You killed the generals of the court privately, and now you are talking flatteringly in the court, according to the old man, you are the biggest spy in my country!"

At this time, the great Sikong Xiao Xuan walked out of the crowd, saluted Zhao Yu deeply, and said: "King, General Lin guarded the border pass, sacrificed his life and forgot to die, and bravely killed the enemy, and made a lot of contributions. Today, if the king listens to the general's one-sided words and punishes him without rewarding him, will he not chill the hearts of the soldiers at the border gates? Who will be willing to serve the imperial court in the future?"

Xiao Xuan's words were very clever, he did not bother to talk about Du Yu, but shifted the topic to the border soldiers, so that Zhao Yu had to think carefully.

At present, the situation in the Jin Kingdom is not optimistic, the army of the Mu Kingdom has connected the two counties, and the troops are approaching Wuling County, and the army of the Red Kingdom is also hurrying to attack Fengkou County, intending to converge with the Mu army.

In this way, as the gateway of Fengkou County, Shuangfeng City has become a vital place, once Shuangfeng City is captured by the Red Army, then the Red Army can break through Fengkou County unimpeded, and join forces with the Mu Army to attack Wuling County, such a result is unacceptable to Zhao Yu.

After listening to Xiao Xuan's words, Zhao Yu suddenly had concerns and pondered for a long time.

In fact, just as Xiao Xuan said, regardless of whether Du Yu's incident is true or not, if he really punished Lin Haotian, what would the soldiers and soldiers at the border pass think? How would the people talk about it? Not only that, but when the time comes, I am afraid that even his own prestige will be greatly reduced.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu really found that Du Yu was a hot potato, and whether to check it or not, he became hesitant at the moment.

Looking at Zhao Yu with a solemn expression, Xiao Xuan smiled slightly and said: "King, General Du Yu is dead, the deceased is the greatest, please read the king's past merits, don't delve into this matter further, as for General Du Qing, please don't blame the king." ”

For Xiao Xuan's 'kindness', Du Qing was not only grateful, but his nose was almost crooked on the spot, listening to his tone, it seemed that he had already determined that Du Yu's collaboration with the enemy was true.

And Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, looking at Xiao Xuan with a smile on his face, he suddenly understood that Xiao Xuan was looking for himself to go down the stairs.

Zhao Yu sighed heavily and said: "Du Aiqing, Du Yu's matter is here, this king is thinking about your loyalty to the court for many years, just ...... I'll punish you for half a year!"

Du Qing was anxious, and hurriedly said: "King, this ......"

"Smack!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand and patted the armrest on the dragon chair, and shouted: "This king has made up his mind, there is no need to say more!"

This time, Du Qing was scared so much that he dared to say half a word, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and finally he retreated to the team unwillingly.

Next, Zhao Yu's attitude changed, smiled at Lin Haotian, and said: "Lin Aiqing, you and Yu Yan have a meritorious role in guarding the border and rejecting the enemy, I don't know what reward you want?"

I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, Lin Haotian was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "The country is in trouble, and the last general, as a people of great gold, should stand up, reject the enemy from the door, and protect the king's foundation forever.

In the past, Lin Haotian had never read a lot of books about ancient times, so when he said this, he didn't drag his feet at all, and he didn't even pause slightly.

Zhao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to the ministers on the left and right: "The rank Aiqing has seen it, what is a loyal minister? Only a person like General Lin who is dedicated to doing things for the king but does not want to reward him is a loyal minister!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bixia said very much!" the ministers on the left and right hurriedly replied.

Uncle Tai rolled his eyes, took a step forward, and said to Zhao Yu: "King, although General Lin has a pure heart and does not want to reward, but if he has merit, he must be rewarded, so it can also play a role in motivating the border soldiers."

"En!" Zhao Yu nodded, secretly praised the prime minister for thinking thoroughly, and after pondering for a while, he said with a straight face: "Lin Haotian listens to the seal!"

When Lin Haotian heard this, he knelt on the ground again to salute.

Zhao Yu said: "This king named you the general of Dangkou, and the official rank is temporarily the fourth grade, as for Du Yu's position, he will take over due to Yan first, and then repel the Red Army in the future, and this king will have another heavy reward!"

The official rank of Zheng Sipin, put in the army, although it is only one level higher than the corps commander, but he has the command of ten corps, and Zhao Yu's order undoubtedly made Lin Haotian expand five corps in his hands.

"The last general Xie Dawang!" Lin Haotian straightened up, and bowed respectfully to thank him.

Zhao Yu waved his hand casually and said, "Aiqing, please get up, please ask General Lin to worry more about the border customs in the future!"

Lin Haotian's face was straight, and he said: "The ministers should bow and do their best to embrace the grace of the king!"

"En!" Zhao Yu nodded with a smile, and then, with a little tired face, said to everyone: "Today's morning dynasty is here, retreat from the dynasty!"

"Wait for the resignation!"

After retreating, Lin Haotian and Tai Shuhong walked out of the Taihe Hall side by side, and on the way back, Lin Haotian let out a long breath of turbidity, with a sense of joy for the rest of his life, and thanked Tai Shuhong: "Haotian can be safe this time, thanks to the help of the Prime Minister!"

Tai Shuhong smiled and said, "This time you can be safe, mainly due to Lord Xiao, you should go to Xiexie him another day." ”

Lin Haotian arched his hand and said, "This is natural!"

Tai Shuhong thought of something again, and asked, "Virtuous nephew, what are your arrangements next?"

Lin Haotian replied, "Early tomorrow morning, I plan to leave for Twin Peaks City!"

"So fast, why not stay in the city for a few more days?"

"The brothers are still fighting on the front line, and Haotian is really relieved. ”

Tai Shuhong nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's okay, I wish you a victorious return as soon as possible!"

"Prime Minister Xie!" After hesitating for a moment, Lin Haotian arched his hand and said: "As for the whereabouts of the purple feather coat, I hope that the prime minister will bother to help find it!"

Hearing this, the smile on Tai Shuhong's face froze at first, and then quickly recovered to its original state, and said with a dry smile: "Don't worry, the old man will do his best!"

Years of experience as an official have already made Tai Shuhong develop a temperament that is not moody, but every time he hears the name Zi Yuyi, he will always involuntarily think of a past incident many years ago in his mind......
