Zhang Tiezhu and Chen Zheng drank wine all night, and they were very drunk, and after they woke up on the second day, Chen Zheng suddenly remembered the letter he sent to His Royal Highness King Yan, and he didn't know if it was sent out of Guangning Mansion.

Chen Zheng couldn't wait to slap himself, and as soon as he was tired and drunk, he almost forgot about the business.

Chen Zheng found two soldiers who had never been to Quang Ninh Province to pretend to be ordinary people to go into Quang Ninh Province to investigate, and when they returned at noon, they were told that the brother who delivered the letter had left Quang Ninh safely.

Chen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned to Kaiyuan with Zhang Tiezhu and five hundred cavalry brothers.

It's all cavalry, and the speed on the road is very fast, and the snow has stopped recently, although the weather is still cold, and the snow has not melted, but it is good that it has not continued to rain hard.

Zhang Tiezhu found a few withered thorns in the field, took off his clothes, tied the thorns to his back, and knelt down at the gate of the palace.

At this moment, Zhu Song was playing chess with Lao Cao, Zhu Song listened to Chen Zheng's report to himself, saying that Zhang Tiezhu was guilty of pleading outside, and he was kneeling, Zhu Song smiled.

"Unexpectedly, this fierce general actually knows the allusion to the guilt of Jing Plea!"

After Zhu Song finished speaking, he and Lao Cao looked at each other and smiled.

Chen Zheng thought that His Royal Highness would let Zhang Tiezhu get up immediately, but he never thought that His Highness would actually say.

"As a commander, King Mu Wu ordered to leave hundreds of thousands of troops and leave, leaving this king to leave as soon as he said he would, if such a commander still let him continue to be a commander, this king is afraid that he will be shameless to face the brothers below."

"Spread the king's command! From today, Zhang Tiezhu was removed from the post of commander of the original army, and he was demoted to the left guard of the Han Wangfu to try 100 households! ”

"Han Wangfu guards thousands of households, Chen Zheng thinks that from today onwards, he will be the deputy commander of Kaiyuan!"

Chen Zheng didn't thank him after hearing this, but wanted to excuse Zhang Tiezhu, but was stopped by Lao Cao with his eyes.

"Mark the command! Thank you, Your Highness! ”

Zhu Song nodded, waved his hand, and signaled that Chen Zheng could go down.

Lao Cao made a chess move, and then said: "Your Highness's move is really extremely virtuous, Zhang Tiezhu is a loyal soldier, but if you don't hone his temperament well, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility in the future!" ”

Zhu Song nodded: "This king also thinks that being able to lead troops to fight and political wisdom are completely different things, especially in the body of this fierce general Zhang Tiezhu, the more others say that he can't do it, the more this king thinks he can do it, but this time this king still has to punish him severely, otherwise, everyone in Kaiyuan will be like this in the future, how can this army be bringed." ”

Lao Cao nodded approvingly, and then looked in the direction of the palace gate.

"Your Highness, this day is freezing, although Zhang Tiezhu has made a mistake, but in this case, I am afraid that he will freeze his body, when does His Highness plan to release this fierce general?"

Zhu Song made a chess move, and the dead black dragon on the chessboard, which had been pressed by white, was finally revitalized by Zhu Song.

"Since he took the initiative to ask for the guilt, let him kneel outside, and if he makes a mistake, he will be punished, even if it is the king's favorite general!"

"But Lao Cao, that's what I said, but you should pay attention to it, don't really freeze this stupid guy out of a bad guy, there are few generals who can be used under this king, and then the king who gets him out of a good way doesn't have to do it."

Lao Cao glanced at the big dragon on the chessboard that had been revitalized by His Highness, and knew that His Highness had made the right move in this move, and he couldn't suppress the big dragon anymore, so he got up and said with a smile.

"The subordinate officer receives the order!"

Zhang Tiezhu knelt outside the palace for a whole day, and it was also thanks to this guy's strong body, if he was an ordinary person, shirtless, and kneeling in the ice and snow for a day, he would be disabled if he didn't die.

……

The guy who delivered the letter spent three days getting lost twice, and finally found Beiping City, and when he arrived in Beiping City, he was already hungry and couldn't stand up, and after getting off the horse, his legs were weak and he collapsed to the ground, and he crawled to the city gate and kept knocking on the door with his fingers.

The soldier in his hand saw that it was a Han Chinese, so he brought him in, and found a medical officer to treat him, and after he woke up, the first thing this guy said was.

"King Han has something important to find His Royal Highness King Yan!"

His Royal Highness King Han had something important to find His Royal Highness King Yan, and the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to delay, so they hurriedly carried this buddy to King Yan's mansion, until this guy saw His Royal Highness King Yan, then took out the letter in his arms, handed it to King Yan and fainted again.

King Yan looked at this buddy, nodded appreciatively, and then ordered someone to take him down to take care of him.

King Yan opened the letter, and after reading it, he did not make a decision on the spot, but found Yao Guangxiao.

King Yan handed the letter to Yao Guangxiao, and Yao Guangxiao said with a smile after reading it.

"Your Highness, we should stand up for His Royal Highness King Han in this matter, and this is His Royal Highness King Han taking the initiative to ask His Highness for help, how can His Highness not help?"

King Yan said: "Master, it's not that this king doesn't want to help the old twenty, it's really that the old twenty is the younger brother, and the old fifteen is also the younger brother. ”

Yao Guangxiao said to King Yan: "Your Highness, don't be a woman's kindness, although they are all brothers, and the palms and backs of their hands are meat, but the lesser of two evils." ”

"Then the King of Liao connived at his concubine's younger brother to do such evil things, don't say that His Royal Highness the King of Han can't look past it, even Lao Wei can't look past it, let alone Your Majesty!"

"What's more, how can His Royal Highness the King of Liao be compared to His Royal Highness the King of Han? Didn't His Highness always want to get closer to His Royal Highness King Han before? This is a great opportunity, Your Highness, don't hesitate any longer! ”

King Yan nodded: "Then the king will write the recital, but there is another question, whether the king wants to play the fold or the secret play, if it is a secret play, the impact of this matter will not be too great, at least the civil and military officials in the court will not know." ”

"But if you don't play the secret music, with the severity of this matter, my father will know about it, and I'm afraid that Long Yan will be angry, and I'm afraid that even this king will be to blame!"

After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao also felt that this matter was a difficult choice, and all the officials who had made it known that the King of Liao had connived at the younger brother of the side concubine to do such and such things, and he was afraid that he would be punished.

But if it is played in secret, His Royal Highness will be suspected by His Majesty of whether he is protecting his brother, and whether Yan Fan and Han Fan are too close in private?

"Your Highness, it's better to have the lesser of two evils, even if it is a book, it will be directly sold by hundreds of officials, but after all, the paper can't hold the fire or play!"

"However, Your Highness must not mention the matter of His Royal Highness King Han in the middle of the twists and turns, let alone mention that His Royal Highness King Han wrote a letter to His Highness, and His Highness has decided to report this matter to His Majesty!"
