798 - The Minister's Sonata

Yao Yu entertained Fan Ben in the Chinese military account for a whole day and night, so that when the statistics were over the next day, when Fan Ben left, he was drunk.

At the time of parting, Yao Yu took Fan Ben's hand and said, "Mr. Fan, after you go back, remember to be careful, don't be careless, understand?" โ€

Fan Ben was still a little dizzy, and when he heard Yao Yu's words, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Fan has his own opinions." Three days at most, just give an adult a reply. โ€

Yao Yu nodded, and then pretended to be reluctant to bid farewell to Fan Ben.

In this way, Fan Ben led 30,000 captives away.

Among these captives, some of them were strong men brought by Li Xiong, and they were very grateful to Fan Ben for rescuing them.

But there are also many elite henchmen cultivated by Li Xiong over the years, who have no feelings for Fan Changsheng's father and son.

Not to mention, those officers who were promoted by Li Xiong, they were full of contempt for Fan Changsheng's father and son.

If he hadn't entered the city yet, these people would have arrested Fan Ben and slaughtered him.

In this way, a group of captives returned to the city of Jiangzhou, and Li Xiong, as the Son of Heaven, personally welcomed the return of these non-commissioned officers.

Not to mention anything else, this behavior moved all the soldiers badly, and they shouted long live long live with tears in their eyes.

"You have worked hard, the former was defeated, it is not your fault, it is really Li Xiong's sin."

In front of the soldiers of the three armies, Li Xiong blamed himself so much, not to mention the Son of Heaven, he was an ordinary prince and monarch, how many people could be like this?

This made those generals admire Li Xiong even more.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have set up a reception banquet for you in the city, and I am shocked for you, please."

"Your Majesty, please!"

In the courtesy, Li Xiong led the crowd into Jiangzhou City.

When entering the city, Li Xiong also turned his head to Fan Changsheng and said, "If it weren't for the prime minister, I wouldn't be able to come back with tens of thousands of sons." โ€

Fan Changsheng respectfully and politely clenched his fists: "Where does Your Majesty say, solve problems for Your Majesty, this is a matter within the minister's duty." โ€

There was nothing wrong with this conversation, but in Fan Ben's opinion, he always felt that his father was perfunctory to Li Xiong.

was originally a normal performance, but in Fan Ben's opinion, it also became his father's disguise.

In this way, a group of people sat down, ate and drank, and told each other about the hard work of the past few days.

Even the grassroots soldiers who were invited to the banquet were dissatisfied.

Not only those soldiers who were brought in to be strong men, but also the elites who had served under Li Xiong for many years, also felt unbalanced.

They were very embarrassed when they looked at the food in front of them, and they always felt that Li Xiong was too picky.

What about playing, in Yao Yujun, as long as he says that he is Fan Changsheng's person, he has wine and meat to eat every day, he is full, what is the staple food?

I haven't eaten it yet, okay?

It's good for you, I'm shocked for everyone, I can't find a piece of meat on a table, it's all fucking biscuit food, there are drinks, and the more than ten people are the weight of a bottle, and it's not enough for one person to take a mouthful.

The difference in treatment makes everyone dissatisfied.

That is, those generals and colonels at the officer level, who are eligible to eat meat.

But for these lower-level soldiers, they were still happily prisoners in Yao Yu's camp yesterday, and when they arrived, someone sent a sufficient amount of wine and meat, but they came back today for such a big thing, and they ate just ordinary meals, who felt good in their hearts?

For a time, in the hearts of grassroots soldiers, dissatisfaction gradually rose.

It's a pity that Li Xiong didn't notice this, from his point of view, today's reception banquet is enough extravagant.

After all, it's a time of war, and where did you get so much wine and meat.

For this one, I used a lot of my budget.

In this way, in a place that no one expected, the lower-level soldiers had already estranged Li Xiong.

Without further ado, soon, it was dark and night.

The banquet explained, and the soldiers took a grumbling stance.

Everywhere in the streets of the city, soldiers could be seen muttering their dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty is too picky, and the prisoners on Yao Dasima's side are not well fed."

"It's not like that, we haven't seen any meat stars at that table."

"Don't talk about your table, we don't have one. Alas, they are also soldiers, why is Yao Dasima treated so well? โ€

"Who's to say it's not, why do you say we're soldiers? Isn't it just a mixed meal? โ€

"Don't, you guys are eating with a mouthful, but we were pulled over by Zhuangding to fight for him. This good guy sold his life to him. I can't even eat meat. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come back. โ€

Conversations like this go on and on.

It's a pity that Li Xiong was drunk at this time and couldn't hear the voices of the masses at all.

At the gate of the Jiangzhou Xinggong Palace, Li Xiang and Li Shi walked to the palace while listening to the reports of the officers who came back from Yao Yu's army, their faces turned from blue to white, and each one was uglier than the other.

"Taifu, the villains don't dare to hide anything, everything is true. That Fan Changsheng's father and son had already descended Yao Yu. โ€

Li Li was a little impulsive, and he couldn't hold back his temper anymore: "I knew that these Han people were unreliable, and they dared to deceive Your Majesty, damn it, I will kill them first." โ€

Li Xiang scolded: "Li'er, don't be impulsive." You do it now, what if Your Majesty wakes up and knows that he is angry? โ€

"Is it difficult to let these two thieves continue to plague my country?"

"Hmph, how is that possible. As the saying goes, catch a thief and catch dirty, let's go to see Your Majesty first, report the situation to Your Majesty, how to decide, listen to Your Majesty first. โ€

Li Li stomped his feet and sighed in annoyance: "This is too aggrieved." โ€

In this way, the group said, and soon came to the outside of Li Xiong's dormitory.

After the report of Xiaohuangmen, Li Xiang and others entered the palace.

When he came, Li Xiongcai got up from the bed with a yawn, and after seeing a few people, he asked, "Uncle Huang, Brother Huang, what is the matter with being here late at night?" โ€

Li Xiang and Li Li Li glanced at each other, followed a step forward, hugged their fists at Li Xiong and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." โ€

"Oh? What's the matter? โ€

"The minister reported Prime Minister Fan Changsheng and colluded with Yao Yu in an attempt to find misdeeds. Intended to subvert me. โ€

Li Xiong frowned: "Uncle Huang, do you know what you're talking about?" The prime minister is my pillar. You slander him like this, don't think that you are my imperial uncle and can talk nonsense! โ€

Li Xiang immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, how dare the ministers slander the important ministers of the court, I really can't bear Your Majesty to continue to be deceived by traitors." Fan Changsheng's defection to Yao Yu is evidenced by this, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, just ask. โ€

As he spoke, Li Xiang pointed to the officers who came with him beside him.

Li Xiong's brows twisted into a pimple when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at the officers.

Facing Li Xiong, these officers knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, what Taifu said is true. Fan Changsheng's defection to Yao Yu is what we saw with our own eyes. โ€

As they spoke, these people confessed everything they saw in Yao Yujun.
