And he couldn't find any other excuse but to talk nonsense.

Now the bet is on whether the emperor can forgive his mistakes compared to the military information he provides.

Emperor Xiao Jingyin looked at him deeply.

Xiao Ze knelt on the ground and bowed to the ground with his head, only to feel that his gaze was pierced on his back like a steel needle, which made him uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare to stand upright, for fear that one would anger the saint and give up all his efforts.

After half a ring, a majestic voice was finally heard from above.

"Alright, get up."

Xiao Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

After he breathed a sigh of relief, when he got up, he realized that his hands and feet had been weakened by fright, and his clothes were even more soaked with sweat, sticky and uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare to make any moves, just lowered his head and stood respectfully, waiting for the emperor's order.

The emperor did not pay any attention to him, but quietly ordered the eunuch beside him, "Let the messenger in." ”

"Yes."

The messenger walked in, his serious and heavy face, the moment he saw the emperor, he immediately relaxed, his face was happy, and he knelt down respectfully to pay homage and said: "The last general Geng Qing will see the emperor!" ”

The emperor said lightly: "Get up and tell me, what's going on in the south?" ”

The messenger named Geng Qing stood up, but he was still bent over, and his tone was full of joy that could not be concealed.

"Back to the emperor, the general has an official document for you to submit to you, you will know it after reading it."

The Emperor glanced up at him.

In the end, he still glanced at the eunuchs around him.

The eunuch stepped forward and walked up to him, Geng Qing took out a copy of the recital he had brought back from the south thousands of miles away from his sleeve, respectfully handed it to the great eunuch Chang Xi, and then stood aside and listened to the emperor's orders.

Chang Xi presented the fold to the emperor.

The emperor opened the fold and read it carefully, and his face, which had been gloomy all day, finally eased a little.

"Yes, General Yun has made another great contribution, and when he returns to Beijing, I must hold a palace banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust for him."

Geng Qing said happily: "The subordinate generals have thanked the emperor." ”

Xiao Ze was stunned.

What's that?

Yun Qingshan has made a great contribution?

How is this possible?!

Shouldn't he have been killed or captured at the border pass, and then the news of the defeat came back, and then the entire Yun family was sent to prison?

How did you make a great contribution?!

Xiao Ze was stunned for a while before realizing that something was wrong.

His face changed sharply, and he quickly stepped forward, bowed to the emperor and said, "Father, this messenger is fake!" Father must not believe him, how can the border pass be ...... How could it be ......"

His face was a little pale, and his instinct told him that something was wrong.

But he calculated well, every link in his plan was implemented very well, how could it go wrong when it came to the moment, and who saw through his plan?

At that moment, Xiao Ze thought a lot in his heart.

Because he was thinking too much, he didn't notice the killing intent that flashed in the emperor's eyes.

"You say that the messenger is not trustworthy, so do you mean that your message is more trustworthy? And the messengers I have specially cultivated are not as loyal and reliable as your minions? ”

That's all there is to say.

Xiao Ze was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

But he couldn't say anything, and there were countless question marks in his head, which could not be answered.

The silence spread throughout the hall, and I don't know how long it took, I suddenly heard Geng Qing sneer.

Xiao Ze suddenly looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and the hairs on his body suddenly exploded, glaring at him hatefully, and asked sharply, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Geng Qing smiled: "I laugh at the four princes...... Oh no, now I shouldn't call you the fourth prince, I should call you Xiao Ze. ”

"Although you were deprived of the identity of the prince because of your mistakes, but after all, you are still a member of my Dayuan Kingdom, the son of His Majesty today, you don't expect our Dayuan Country to be good, there is a war on the frontier, you don't believe that the people of my Dayuan Country can fight the enemy together and win the victory, but you want to point the deer as a horse, deliberately curse the defeat of our army, and frame General Yun for collaborating with the enemy and treason, I don't know what kind of heart you have!"

"I know that you are a citizen of my Great Yuan Country, I don't know, I thought that you had already communicated with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and calculated that our army would be defeated this time, so I ran to the Holy Lord so impatiently to frame it, so it chilled the hearts of thousands of soldiers and heroes of my Great Yuan Country!"

"You!"

Xiao Ze pointed at him, angry.

Geng Qing was not afraid at all, and continued: "As the saying goes, in his position, he seeks his government, the fourth prince used to be a prince, so he was naturally able to participate in politics, but now, you are a common man, I advise you to think about why tomorrow's livelihood comes, as for national affairs, there are courtiers and Your Majesty who are worried, so you don't have to worry about Xiao Gongzi." ”

Xiao Ze's face suddenly turned red.

He looked at the Emperor sitting at the top, trying to find half a point of support in his face.

But the emperor's face was always pale and he couldn't see any emotion.

Xiao Ze's heart sank fiercely.

He knew he might fail again this time.

As a prince who has been the son of the emperor for more than 20 years, he knows his father too well.

If he believed him at this time, and also felt that Yun Qingshan had collaborated with the enemy and treason and led to the defeat of the army, then he would not be the calm appearance he is now, he would definitely be angry, angry, and then send the Yun family down.

But he didn't.

His calmness means that he has made a choice.

He believed the messenger's words, or rather, he believed the piece of paper that Yun Qingshan had sent to him, but he didn't believe him.

Why?

Why is this happening?

He obviously arranged it well, and Nantang also gave him a promise that he would definitely leave Yun Qingshan at the border pass, and whether he lived or died, he would never return to the capital in his life.

But the result?

No, it won't.

They won't fail.

He has already sent them all the border defense layout maps.

If they still fail, then what else is there to fight with this rod? Although the national strength of the Southern Tang Kingdom is not as brave and good at fighting as the Great Yuan Kingdom, because of their developed economy and commerce and complete equipment, their combat power is still okay.

In the absence of a border defense array, they will go to war with the Great Abyss Kingdom, and there is a high probability that they will lose.

But with the border defense layout map, it is equivalent to that they clearly know all the deployment and army information on the border of the Great Yuan Country, and with these, it is like opening the eyes of the sky, and there is no possibility of losing at all.

So, what the hell is going on?

Until this moment, Xiao Ze was still more inclined to the messenger telling lies.

Maybe Yun Qingshan also realized that something was wrong, he was a veteran after all, although the army was defeated, he would not be defeated so quickly, or he had already discovered that someone had betrayed military secrets, in case the emperor did not trust him, so he sent a so-called messenger back to Beijing in advance to deliver false news to the emperor to stabilize the rear.
