There was silence in the big tent, Yuwen Yongji sat on the couch, throwing the fish talisman in his palm with one hand, and glanced at Yang Jian and Zhao Zhongqing coldly...... Outside the tent, many generals gathered around the tent, and there were constant patrols of the armor.

Although there was no chaotic noise of people and horses, under the cold wind, this slaughter was even more terrifying and desperate.

Many generals outside the tent may have respect for the two commanders, but under the intentional vigilant gaze of Chen Wang and others, they couldn't move, and when the words of plea came to their mouths, they quietly swallowed them, and they couldn't say a word.

The general is finished!

The thought crossed their minds.

Not only is Zhao Zhongqing finished, but Yang Jian is also finished...... When they quietly looked over, they saw Yang Jian buried his head on the ground, quite calm, but the stiff limbs betrayed his inner thoughts at this time.

And Zhao Zhongqing was even more unbearable, as soon as he heard Yu Wenyong's voice, his mind was already blank, and when he saw the emperor's true face, it was like being struck by lightning.

It was Yang Jian who pulled him to kneel down in time, so that there was no more charge of "disgrace in front of the king...... But are you still afraid of this one? At this sensitive time, how can saying such a thing in front of the emperor be enough for a capital crime, right?

"Minister, minister......"

Zhao Zhongqing trembled slightly, his mind was still blank, and he looked up several times to ask the emperor for guilt, but he was stuck in the word "minister" and couldn't say anything. I saw sweat on my forehead, but I couldn't kneel deeply.

Yu Wenyong waited for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he gently spit out a sentence in his mouth: "Say, if I want to settle accounts afterwards, how will you two go?" ”

Zhao Zhongqing was even more frightened and couldn't stand on the ground. Yu Wenyong glanced at Yang Jian again, pointed at him and said, "If he refuses to say, then you can say it." ”

Yang Jian sighed, and only after a while did he say, "What else can the minister do?" His Majesty entrusted us to exterminate Duan Xiaoxian and cross Pusaka, but we failed to succeed, but instead asked them to burn their baggage, and all the piles were sins that could not be atoned.

"Nor should it be ...... and Zhao Zhongqing criticized the monarch behind his back, and said things that damaged the minister's integrity, but the minister did not dare to defend himself, and he had nothing to say, so he asked His Majesty to punish him. ”

With that, he took off his armor, put down his sword, and fell to the ground again, and sure enough, he looked like he was letting his hair fall...... Many people in the tent sighed in their hearts, not understanding that Yang Jian was making trouble.

Just now they were outside the tent, and they heard the words of the two clearly, Zhao Zhongqing's words were obviously bewitching, and Yang Jian didn't say anything rebellious no matter what he thought in his heart.

If it were them, Zhao Zhongqing would have been pushed out and cleared up early...... Not to mention, he was stupid enough to stand up and share this responsibility with Zhao Zhongqing. Righteousness is fulfilled, but what's the use of losing your head?

Dead friends don't die in poverty, hasn't it always been the way to survive in officialdom? Everyone either laughed or sighed, and their reactions were mixed, but Sima Xiao looked at Yang Jian with scrutiny, thoughtful.

Yang Jian's face was still calm, thinking that he was ready to die. Yu Wenyong's gaze was still sharp, and the knife was scraping on him, and after a while, Fu asked coldly:

"You have made up your mind, you feel that I have just been defeated, so as not to shake the morale of the army, I will never dare to send you here...... That's why you dare to be so fearless, yes or no? ”

"I might as well tell you that Yuwen Sheng was cowardly in front of the battle, and he has been beheaded by me, you ...... It's next! ”

Yu Wenyong pulled out the saber at his waist and put it on Yang Jian's neck, instantly rubbing out a blood mark.

Yu Wenyong's sword rested on his neck, but his expression was calm and indifferent. Those close to him know that the more angry and violent the emperor is, the calmer his expression becomes, just like the undercurrent hidden under the calm water, and at some point it will roll up a stormy wave!

His sword had not yet been slashed. The emperor is still waiting for Yang Jian's answer, if it is in line with the emperor's wishes, then he will be safe, if he answers wrong, Yang Jian's head will fall to the ground in the next moment.

And Yang Jian didn't say anything, didn't explain anything, just closed his eyes and waited for death. Yuwen frowned, and asked sharply: "I asked you, why didn't you keep quiet, could it be that you really can't find death?" ”

"The life and death of the minister is all up to His Majesty's will, how can the minister be reversed?" Yang Jian immediately bowed down again, "No matter whether Your Majesty wants the minister to live or die, the minister can only obey, how can he defend himself?" ”

"You do have a set of military governance, I have traveled all the way, and I saw that you are strict in governing the army here, and you have not committed any crimes in autumn...... If it weren't for the fact that Shenju's former subordinates were in the camp, I am afraid that I would have been cut into pulp ten steps away from the camp. Yu Wenyong didn't know why he mentioned this.

"I, a soldier of the Great Zhou, am not Your Majesty's courtiers, who doesn't know Your Majesty's heavenly might, Your Majesty wants to enter the camp, who dares to stop it?" Yang Jian said: "Moreover, the minister will only talk on paper, and the management of the army depends on Zhao Zhongqing." ”

"You're exculpating him?"

"No, the minister is just talking about things."

Yu Wenyong's face was slightly pale, and he moved the sword edge away from Yang Jian's neck, and pressed it on his shoulder socket lightly.

"What you said is nice, and I can't figure out many times whether you are a great loyalty or a great traitor...... Since you say that you are loyal and courageous, then I ask you, I have ordered you to send troops and horses to the south three or four times, why don't you obey? ”

"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected."

"Aren't you protesting? Previously...... Didn't you say that you were loyal? Yu Wenyong sneered.

Yang Jian said with a straight face: "Your Majesty is not in Huayin, I don't know that the ministers and others are already extremely difficult just to guard against Duan Shao, if they divide the troops again, I am afraid that they don't have to wait for the battle of Tongguan, and directly let Duan Shao drive straight into Chang'an, and then the ministers will not be able to afford the consequences!" ”

"So, instead of being disobedient, you're doubly intimate?"

"The minister has also lost consecutive battles, has no gains, and does not dare to boast of merit. The minister may be incompetent, but the minister dares to swear to the sky, and the minister has no two hearts! Yang Jian's face was resolute, Yu Wenyong looked at Yang Jian scrutinically, pointed at Zhao Zhongqing and said:

"I understand, in fact, I have heard your conversation just now, you are probably innocent, but he is clearly rebellious and chaotic, you are the commander of the first army, I handed over the power to dispose of him, how should you send him?"

"According to military law, it is a great crime to be unfavorable in battle, and it is a capital crime to criticize the king, and it should be executed."

"If it makes sense, then behead him!"

Yu Wenyong waved his hand, and several armor soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Zhongqing's collar and prepared to drag him out and behead him...... Yang Jian didn't say a word, and he didn't squint. He didn't dare to look up, because Yu Wenyong said that he would kill Zhao Zhongqing, but his eyes were staring directly at Yang Jian's neck!

Yu Wenyong stared at him for a long time, until Zhao Zhongqing had been dragged to the door, and then shouted to stop:

"- Wait, although this fight is crazy, but thinking of his father's military exploits, he is young and vigorous, and he killed the generals before the battle, and defeated his morale, I will forgive him once, and I will not take an example...... But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living sin cannot be escaped, and the rod will be punished sixty! ”

He looked at Yang Jian again, and said in a condensed voice: "You are the commander of an army, your subordinates have made big mistakes, you also have a great responsibility, he has sixty rods, how many rods should you have?" Yang Jian immediately replied: "Your Majesty said how much, then how much!" ”

"You're sixty too."

"Command!" Yang Jian was dragged down, but he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

How dangerous that clash of words just now was, I'm afraid only he knows.

Yu Wenyong's words, true and false, false and real, show the imperial city mansion...... It seems to be inadvertent, but in fact there is a great murderous intention, he keeps testing Yang Jian's reaction, trying to find out Yang Jian's true intentions, and Yang Jian's proportions must be just right, and he can't deviate from Yu Wenyong's intentions even a little bit, so that he can save his life!

Although the military power was taken away, it was better to leave his life, didn't he?

Yang Jian and the others had to limp back to thank them after receiving the cane in front of the whole army, and Sima Xiaonan happened to come to them, greeted them with a smile, and said some words without a beginning or an end.

Zhao Zhongqing was impatient to tell him more, Yang Jian also had something on his mind, so he didn't want to say much, so he was about to leave after two sentences, but Sima eliminated the difficulty and taught him to freeze in place.

"Today, I know that Sui Gong has such mental skills, and the future is immeasurable!"

Yang Jian glanced back, whether it was Zhao Zhongqing or Sima Zhen, they all suddenly felt a fierce killing intent rushing towards him...... Sima shook his feet and stood in place in disagreement.

He didn't know what he was afraid of, but the moment Yang Jian turned around, he instinctively felt scared. It's like...... It's like being looked back at by a vicious man-eating wolf!

Yang Jian had a modest smile on his face, shook his head and laughed at himself: "Sima Gong, don't laugh at me, I can save my life today, it is already Your Majesty's grace, what more can I ask for?" ”

In the blink of an eye, he looked so modest and polite again, as if the wolf-like eyes just now had never appeared, and Sima Xiao watched them leave, only to feel a tingling of his scalp......
