Chapter 213: Black Cauldron

Emperor Yongming naturally did not write the decree himself. On weekdays, Emperor Yongming moved his mouth, and the scholars of Hanlin discussed and drafted the writing, and then Emperor Yongming looked at it and stamped it with the imperial seal.

Today's holy decree comes from the hand of the Hanlin Su Commander.

Su Zhangyuan was afraid that everyone would criticize the prince, so he firmly put the black cauldron of killing prisoners on General Murong's head. The wording of the holy decree was harsh, almost pointing at General Murong's nose and scolding.

Brutal means of slaughtering captives without authorization!

There is no monarch and no humanity!

This holy decree gathered the "hard work" of several Hanlin scholars, and the scolding was so hearty that the scriptures were quoted and the texts were brilliant.

Gao Peng, the Marquis of Zhongyong, is a rough man, he hasn't read for a few days, and the prince of Dingguo is not much better. The two of them pricked up their ears, and only understood a small part.

That's just a small half, and it's enough for the two of them to gloat.

They are also military generals, they often lead troops to fight, and earn some military merits in life and death. There are no immortals in war, and their own sons and nephews are lost on the battlefield, I don't know how many.

And the sons of the Murong family, once they become adults, they will enter the Praetorian Guard. How good the Praetorian Guards are, patrolling the palace every day, and being the most prominent and beautiful around the Son of Heaven. There are very few times when you really do it, but the military salary is still the highest. You say it's infuriating!

They had long seen that the virtues of Murong father and son's bullishness were not pleasing to the eye. Now that Murong Yao was angrily reprimanded by the Son of Heaven, they looked at the excitement, not to mention the relief in their hearts.

General Murong was full of shame and couldn't kneel for a long time.

The crown prince sighed, picked up General Murong with his own hands, and comforted him gently: "Father must have misunderstood." Killing prisoners means Lone, and General Murong is going to kill people on Lone's orders. This matter is to blame, and it should be blamed for Lone's assertion. General Murong has suffered on behalf of Gu, and it is really difficult to be lonely in his heart. ”

General Murong was grateful, a man in his forties, and he still had the ability to shine in his eyes: "Your Highness said this, it is really a great deal." The last general is willing to share the worries for His Highness, and His Highness gives an order, and the last general of the sword mountain and fire sea also dares to go. ”

The prince was very moved, and comforted General Murong, and General Murong retreated with the holy decree.

Xu Jing looked at this scene and felt very happy.

The prince of Dingguo and the marquis of Zhongyong glanced at each other, and each gave up his hands and retreated.

After leaving the big tent of the Chinese army, the Marquis of Zhongyong suddenly lowered his voice and said: "In the past, I was always worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a soft temperament and was useless. Now it seems that the crown prince is much stronger than the emperor. ”

The prince of Dingguo glanced at the Marquis of Zhongyong, and said lightly: "The wall has ears, the Hou Ye should be careful when he speaks, don't fall into the ears of people with intentions and cause trouble." ”

The Marquis of Zhongyong hehehe, no more words, a little arch of his hand, and left first.

The prince of Dingguo looked at the loyal and brave marquis who was striding away, and his eyes flashed. He turned his head to look at the military tent again, and the corners of his mouth raised.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used to live in the palace, and he rarely spoke to the government in the previous court, and his sense of presence was thin. In the past few months, he first insisted on leading troops to Jizhou to quell the chaos, and then used thunderous means to rectify the officialdom in Jizhou, and appeased the people with patience in the spring breeze and rain.

Jizhou was able to calm down in a short period of time, and half of it was due to the crown prince. The other half should be attributed to Xu Jing, the son of the king of Beihai.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a good means, and as soon as he makes a move, it is an earth-shattering shock. The notoriety of killing prisoners will be firmly tied to Murong Yao's body.

……

General Murong returned to the military tent with the holy decree.

Several henchmen and soldiers beside him each held back their evil fire and sulked in their stomachs. After entering the military tent, they were indignant: "The general was obviously ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to kill prisoners, how could it be passed into the court and become reckless?" ”

"Yes. This must be someone deliberately fanning the flames in front of the emperor. The emperor will issue an order to reprimand the general. ”

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the general's loyalty. Otherwise, the general will carry the black pot alive and suffer a loss. ”

General Murong slowly let out a sullen breath, his eyes swept over the group of pro-soldiers, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Shut up for me!" In the affairs of the court, it is not your turn to point fingers. Whether it is the emperor or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they are all my masters. Don't say that you have a bad name for Your Highness, even if you give up this life, I will never say anything. ”

"I'm going to be alone and quiet, and you'll all go out."

The soldiers had no choice but to retreat.

General Murong was the only one left in the wide military tent.

General Murong's face changed, staring at the holy decree in his hand tightly, and his palm suddenly became strong. It was as if he had choked someone's neck in the void.

It took a long time for the flame in General Murong's eyes to be suppressed.

"General Qiyu," the hurried voice of the soldiers sounded outside the military tent: "The eldest prince and the second prince have sent someone to deliver the letter." ”

General Murong's brows moved, and he nodded slightly.

He had six sons, and only the eldest son Murong Shen and the second son Murong Ke came out.

Needless to say, Murong Shen is a unique martial arts genius, and he is also the most outstanding son of the Murong family. He chose Murong Shen as his heir, not just because Murong Shen was the eldest son.

It's just that over the past year or so, Murong Shen has become more and more unruly. For the sake of a Zhao Liu girl, she refused to marry the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and she did a lot of self-assertive things in private, which made him very angry and unhappy. The relationship between father and son was tense and estranged a lot.

Murong Ke is much more filial and honest. People's hearts are biased, compared with the eldest son who is ambitious and doesn't even care about his father, the second son is considerate and obedient, and General Murong naturally prefers Murong Ke.

Two letters were sent in, and General Murong naturally took the second son's one first.

Murong Ke was worried about his father in the letter, and repeatedly comforted his father not to mind.

General Murong's frowning brows stretched slightly, and he opened Murong Shen's letter again. Before I finished reading it, anger swept through my eyes.

Murong Shen actually wrote a letter to blame him for acting carelessly, giving people a handle, and his notoriety spread throughout the government and the opposition.

Bah! Lao Tzu does things, and he has to ask his son for instructions!

Moreover, he accompanied him to protect the prince, which was originally a knife in the prince's hand. Whoever the prince wants to kill, his sharp blade will be unsheathed. If you retreat and can't push, what face do you have to be a Praetorian General?

The more General Murong looked at it, the more annoyed he became, and he tore the letter in his hand in two and threw it to the ground.

The soldiers who delivered the letter were silent, kneeling on the ground and not daring to say a word.

General Murong said coldly: "Apart from this letter, what message does Murong Shen have?" ”

What really matters is usually not written in the letter.

The pro-soldier didn't dare to raise his head, and replied with his mouth open: "The eldest prince ordered the little one to tell the general, if there is such a thing in the future, please don't get your hands on it again, so as not to lose notoriety and damage the reputation of the Murong family......"

General Murong shouted angrily: "Get out!" ”

"Go back and tell Murong Shen that it's not his turn to point fingers at Lao Tzu!"
