Chapter 394: Provocation
Just like the gentleman on Liang who was stealing things was suddenly exposed to the fire, and like a man who was stealing people was caught and raped in bed, Sun Sheng, who was mentioning Li Hongji behind his back, suddenly saw the true face of His Royal Highness King Yan appear in front of him, and the embarrassing and frightening scene was indescribable.
"Oh my God! Your Highness?! The old minister has seen His Royal Highness King Yan! Why are you here? How did you get back to Jinling? I don't know if I'll be a minister! Sun Sheng got up in a panic and saluted.
Li Hongji said coldly: "What? Isn't Sun Xiang welcome? I thought you would be glad to see this king. ”
Sun Sheng grunted in his heart, and suddenly understood why Han Xizai was dressed so grandly today, and he was full of confidence in speaking, it turned out that it was because His Royal Highness King Yan was in his mansion. With greater reliance, he is naturally not afraid of his right phase.
is also a party of King Yan, Sun Sheng's heart suddenly flashed a trace of inexplicable vinegar, and then he smiled with a trembling smile: "Your Highness, although the old minister said this inappropriately, I still have to remind His Highness." His Royal Highness is the commander of the army, and if he secretly returns to Jinling at this time, if he is bumped into by someone with a heart, won't it leave a handle for people......"
Li Hongji slowly sat on the main seat, reaching for the teapot, Han Xizai hurriedly got up and poured tea for Li Hongji.
Li Hongji nodded in thanks, looked up at Sun Sheng, who was frowning in front of the hall, and said, "Why does Prime Minister Sun scare this king?" You have worked hard for half a year, how can there be any people in this Jinling City? I'm afraid they were all sent by Sun Xiang to see their ancestors, right? Who dares to talk nonsense? ”
A cold sweat suddenly broke out behind Sun Sheng's back, and he bowed his head and said, "Your Highness is serious!" Fu Hong is finally the trust of the palace, and when the Hou Dynasty is firmly in the hands of the palace, naturally no one will dare not disagree! It's just that the palace, according to the laws of the imperial court, the commander of the army should indeed return to Beijing privately during the war, Fu Hong is afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the palace, please check it out! ”
Chai Kehong stared at Sun Zhen with both eyes for a moment, and then sighed again: "This king can come!" The rebels are about to threaten Jinling, the decisive moment is coming, and the eight loyal and brave generals under the command of this king are about to lose their heads, so how can the king stay in the army? ”
Sun Zhen didn't seem to be prepared for a long time, and calmly responded: "What the palace said is wrong, Huangfu Hui, Yao Feng and Shen Liang will be beheaded by the imperial court, but everything is bad in the palace!" Only in this way can the palace be cleared of the crime of the loss of the Eastern Capital. ”
Shen Liangteng shook his head hurriedly, gritted his teeth and said, "Father may do that, but what will the people in heaven think?" People in heaven will say that it is his Sun Zhen who caused the people's wives to be separated, he Shen Liang has no words, his life hangs by a thread, and he is even more miserable to this king, some people know that he is the help of this king, so this king has also become a thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people!
Shen Liang stood up hurriedly, stared at Sun Zhen with both eyes, and suddenly stretched out his hand urgently, pointing to a sword hanging under the wall of the main hall and said: "Shen Liang, this king has just heard it clearly, he is saying that if this king refuses him to kill Huang Fuhui, Yao Feng and Shen Liang, his old minister will even kill this king, right?" The sword is here, he wants to kill this king, this king is to give him a chance! ”
"Your Highness thinks eight times! Your Majesty's mind has been decided, but you don't have an impulse and miss a trivial matter! Sun Zhen said slowly.
Sun Zhen was silent for a moment, and then said in a loud voice: "Your Palace, it is not Fu Hong who is willing to listen to the orders of your palace." How does His Royal Highness understand His Majesty? Why did Your Majesty refuse to dispose of the eight of us, naturally it is also to remove the palace from the loss of the Eastern Capital and protect the reputation of the palace. What's more, even if we kill the eight of us, there are many young generals who can lead the troops in the palace......"
Chai Kehong laughed and said: "Huangfu Hui, Yao Feng and Shen Liang disobeyed the order of this king but were beheaded, how can this king not have the face to continue to lead the army?" Isn't it because you are looking for it yourself? What's more, if the court kills the eight of us, how can our sons and daughters continue to work for the court, I'm afraid that a small chaos will happen! ”
Sun Zhen's old face turned red, and he was so angry in his heart that he almost fainted, but how dare I complain about the lowly Yan King who my youth came to support? I'm angry with my lord Han Xizai, today's incident is obviously Han Xizai's obstruction, and he came forward to invite himself to have a bad heart later, so that the palace of King Yan can hide in front of the curtain and eavesdrop on his impulsive words, so as to provoke the relationship between himself and King Yan.
"How dare we?!" Sun Zhen said angrily.
Sun Zhen replied strongly: "Is it because you haven't been on the palace of King Yan yet?" As long as your wise and martial backbone is there, why worry about the rebels being destroyed! ”
Chai Kehong was already angry, gritted his teeth and asked: "Bad, so please tell this king that before killing Huangfu Hui, Yao Feng and Shen Liang, who else can this king use against the rebels?" ”
Chai Kehong said again: "Even if Yang Shui, Shen Liang, and Li Hongji can't lead the army, but the war is unpredictable, if we were competent before, what should we do before?" ”
Han Xizai arched his hand and said: "The grace of the old minister is unforgettable, but he must not forget, you are all working for His Royal Highness King Yan!" For the sake of His Palace, Han had to give up his personal feelings and persuade the old ministers to kill Emperor Fuhui, Yao Feng and Sun Sheng. ”
If the court wants to punish him, this king is willing to bear any responsibility! It's just that Huangfu Hui Yao Feng and Sun Sheng didn't miss a point, if they keep the young generals under their command, the prestige of this king's painstaking management in the army will also be ruined, and it will affect the decisive battle with the rebels in front, can he understand?
Chai Kehong shook his head and said: "Yang Shui is not brave and strategic, Sun Xiang is not brave and brave, Li Hongji is too old, although these eight people are generals, but how can they match the rebels who are in the peak of Bingfeng, whether it is Zhang Wenbiao and others in Jiangbei, or the envoy of the eight towns in Jiangxi, they are all old and spicy people." Does he really feel that he can't hand over the responsibility to us? ”
Sun Zhen connected his fingers and said with a hot smile: "Bad, bad, Han Xizai, he remembers what he said today!" I thought that the old man would face all kinds of attacks in the inside, but the front yard caught fire again. Han Xizai, from a big housekeeper to today, is it the old man who has always supported him? Now he wants to fight against the old man! ”
Shen Liang was shocked and said, "It's all right!" Your Highness, it is easy to come by military power! ”
"Presumptuous!" Shen Liangteng slammed the teacup in his hand under the table, and said fiercely: "What crime is a crime?" The king told him that the evacuation of Yangzhou Mansion was the king's idea! The eight of us are all listening to the king's orders! This time the king of Beijing came to save Huang Fuhui, Yao Feng and Sun Sheng, his father killed the generals after the war, it was simply self-destruction of the Great Wall, it was simply a small love! If he advises his father to take back his order, the king will personally retire from the palace! ”
The king was the first to tell him that the only thing that could save him was to put down the rebellion, and to start it all so that he could be safely endangered. In other words, if he killed the eight people of Huangfu Hui, Yao Feng and Sun Sheng, who were unable to defeat the rebels, he would only destroy the Great Wall by himself, dig his own grave, and let this king be buried with him! ”
"Yes, how can Your Majesty be a traitor......" Sun was shocked and terrified.
Seeing that Chai Kehong was always moved, Sun Zhen consciously came to the stage, and suddenly pointed the finger at Han Xizai, who was silent on the side: "Your Highness, have you been provoked by adults?" Don't listen to the courtiers! Han Xizai, he is so in love! The old man has worked hard for the palace, what has he done? The old man's left minister he has coveted for a long time! ”
Shen Liang said in a deep voice: "The deputy generals of the eight of us, Yang Shui, Shen Liang, and Li Hongji, are under us, and we may not be worse than the last eight." ”
Chai Kehong laughed and said: "I will praise this king!" The king himself doesn't have a few catties and a few taels, and the king is vague in his heart. This king is Liu Renzhan, and it is Li Yuan. This king told him again that once Huangfu Hui, Yao Feng and Shen Liang were not lost, this king would also lead the army again and immediately resign from the position. ”
"That ......" is completely knowledgeable about military affairs, and Sun Zhen naturally hesitated.
Sun Zhen was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a soft "poof", embarrassed and ashamed, and cried bitterly: "Your Palace, Your Palace!" Fu Hong is loyal to you, how dare you not have half a point of respect! In the past six months, Fu Hong has been working hard for the palace day and night! ......”
Sun Zhenre snorted, Shen Liangteng didn't pick me up, but sat up hurriedly and said: "Sun Zhen, the reason why he wanted to kill Huang Fuhui Yao Feng and Shen Liang just now was heard by this king, he held a grudge because we were willing to attach ourselves to him, and worried that we were used by him, oh, what he said was, worried that we were used by this king, did he think he was deceiving himself?"
Han Xizai said lightly: "If Han really covets his left minister, he will have a conflict with him today." Han Mou has a request, he just wants to keep Huangfu Hui, Yao Feng and Sun Sheng, the palace is wrong, then doing it is different from self-destruction of the Great Wall, it will bring terrible disasters to the palace, and even to His Majesty and the dynasty. ”
It is true that our eight old generals are arrogant, but in fact, they are upright, how can the general's temperament be special with those who know how to bend in the court? The loss of the eastern capital is indeed the king's proposition, not what this old dog slave said!
Chai Kehong laughed and said: "He understands in his heart that the rebels are all coming at him Shen Liang that time, once there is a small chaos in the army, it will be difficult to stop the rebels, and once the situation is eroded, he guesses that his father will sacrifice him and let the traitors 'clear the king'?" ”
