When the emperor received Zhong Jun's recital, he rushed to the palace of the king of Jin, who sat in a wooden wheelchair and said, "Meet the saint." ”

The emperor said: "Excuse me, King Jin, I came to you today because I want to ask you something." ”

King Jin said: "I don't know what the Holy Lord asked?"

The emperor said: "I want to ask you, how is the Zhong Jun in Guzhou?"

King Jin was shocked: "Holy Lord, I don't know why you want to ask such a question?"

The emperor said: "King Jin, you don't have to guess, I don't want to deal with him, but the Zhong army of Guzhou, he wants to ask me for his life, lead the 500,000 army of Guzhou, and rush to the northwest to defend against the enemy." It's just that I don't know much about him, I only know that he is Yan Liguo's son-in-law, and he has participated in the great battle with the Heavenly Demon Gate. ”

King Jin said happily: "Saint, Zhong Jun is loyal to the imperial court, and his ability to command the army is deeply inherited by General Yan. Since the destruction of the Heavenly Demon Gate, I have wanted to recommend him to the Holy Lord, but he pushed away the reward of the imperial court and stayed in Guzhou City, I thought he couldn't accept the blow of General Yan's murder. Now it seems that he is not like this, but he has deep foresight, and in three years, he has built an army of 500,000 for the imperial court. ”

The emperor said: "The intention of the King of Jin is to allow him to lead the army into the northwest?"

King Jin nodded and said: "Now that the war in the northwest is tense, with the 500,000 troops led by Zhong Jun joining, it can relieve the pressure of Yin Feng's Tianyi Guard, and it may even reverse the situation of the war in the northwest." ”

The emperor got the answer he wanted, and left after a few warm words with King Jin. The housekeeper beside King Jin said: "Congratulations to the prince, you have been valued by the saint today." ”

King Jin shook his head and said: "You are wrong, the reason why the Holy Lord came to ask me is not because he values me, but because he is not worried about Zhong Jun, most of the ministers in the court who know Zhong Jun are close to General Yan, so he came to ask me." ”

The housekeeper said, "Lord Wang, you are raising Zhong Jun in front of the Holy Lord like this, do you want to take him in and swing him down?"

King Jin smiled and said: "Hehe, I want to too, but do you think it's possible?" Although Yan Liguo is dead, and his descendants have no outstanding figures, but his family has an outstanding representative of the Mo court. He had only been an official in the imperial city for only four years, but with the help of the Yan family, he climbed to the position of Qin official, who was the bureaucrat who managed the states of the Qin kingdom, second only to the top minister of the court. And he is deeply valued by today's saints, and now the ministers of the strict Liguo family in the court also support him, and he is Zhong Jun's brother-in-law. Zhong Jun has great talents, as long as he does not rebel in the future, sooner or later he will climb to the high position before Yan Liguo's death, just by virtue of our Jin Palace, there is no outstanding representative of the juniors, only me, a waste person, relying on the merits of the Heaven Destroying Demon Sect to support, it is impossible to wave his income. The reason why I praise him before the Holy One is that He does have that ability. Second, I just gave him a favor, with the status of the Mo court, he will definitely be able to inquire, I praise Zhong Jun in the saint, maybe with this favor, in the future after my death, Zhong Jun will take care of the Jin Palace. ”

The next morning, the emperor dealt with the matters reported by the ministers, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is another matter, I received a report from the Guzhou Zhong Army yesterday. ”

The prime minister was dissatisfied: "Holy Lord, isn't it true that the local officials' recital must be sent to Lord Mo first, and then Lord Mo and the minister can discuss before they can be played on the Holy Lord?

The emperor said: "Prime Minister, Zhong Jun did not play in the name of the magistrate, but in the name of General Pingdang, and asked people to send the music to the palace for me." ”

The prime minister came to his senses and said, "Pingdang General Zhong Jun? It turned out to be General Yan's son-in-law, and he personally played it to the Shengshang, so there must be something important, right? Could it be that someone in Guzhou rebelled?"

The emperor said: "No, he asked me to lead the 500,000 troops of Guzhou to the northwest to defend against the enemy." ”

After he finished speaking, all the ministers were full of incredulity, and one general said: "Holy Lord, are you saying that there are 500,000 troops in Guzhou? Great, if there are 500,000 troops in Guzhou entering the northwest, maybe, our Qin Kingdom will be able to counterattack outside the Saiwai and the western suburbs." ”

A civil minister said: "Holy Lord, the minister wants to tell Zhong Jun that he has the intention of rebellion, and I hope that the Holy Lord will take him down and behead him." ”

The general who spoke before was furious and said, "Lord Wen, General Zhong has made meritorious contributions to the imperial court in building an army of 500,000, why do you want to frame him for rebellion?"

Wen Dadao: "Shengshang, the minister did not frame him, as far as the minister knows, Zhong Jun is the governor of Guzhou, since the first emperor, except for the northwest, the governor of each state can not lead more than 200,000 troops, Zhong Jun is the captain of Guzhou, but he leads 500,000 troops, he is clearly a rebel. ”

Mo Gongting stood up and said: "Holy Lord, what Lord Wen said is not true, Zhong Jun is not only the commander of Guzhou, but also the general of the Imperial City Guard sealed by the first emperor, when the first emperor was alive, he ordered him to secretly train 300,000 imperial city guards. Not to mention, after Zhong Jun destroyed the Heavenly Demon Gate, he was named the general of Pingdang by the saint, just because he was the commander of Guzhou and the general of the imperial city guard, these two identities commanded an army of 500,000 are not enough to show that he rebelled, and please ask the saint to know the truth. ”

The emperor asked, "Zhong Jun still has the identity of the general of the Imperial City Guard?"

The prime minister said: "Yes, Holy Lord, in order to deal with the Heavenly Demon Gate, the first emperor once issued a secret decree to let Zhong Jun, He Ding, and Gao Wenjun each secretly train an army of 300,000 to 500,000 imperial city guards. However, only the five people of the Emperor, the King of Jin, the ministers, Yan Liguo, and He Gucheng knew about this matter, I don't know how Lord Mo knew about it?"

Mo Gong said: "When Zhong Jun received the secret order, the minister was the prefect of Binhu City in Guzhou, and Zhong Jun took out the secret decree and asked the minister to help him recruit troops and grain. ”

The emperor said, "I see. At this time, the emperor had no suspicion of Zhong Jun.

Master Wen said: "Even so, the first emperor has become immortal, the Heavenly Demon Gate has been destroyed, and his status as the general of the Imperial City Guard of the Zhong Army should be stopped, how can he lead an army of 500,000?"

Mo Gong Ting said: "Stop, Lord Wen, neither the Holy Lord nor the Imperial Court has issued a decree to Zhong Jun, can you represent the Holy Lord?"

Master Wen was so angry that he pointed at the Mo court and said, "You ......." Then he seemed to think of something, and immediately knelt down and said: "Holy Lord, the minister has no such intention, and I hope that the Holy Lord will check clearly." ”

The emperor swept him coldly and said: "Get up, I will spare you once, and after that, if you frame the ministers of the court again, I will definitely investigate to the end." ”

The prime minister said: "Sheng, even if Zhong Jun has no intention of rebellion, but he recruited 500,000 soldiers, and did not report it to the imperial court, and asked the Shengshang to cure him for the crime of deception." ”

The emperor said: "Okay, Prime Minister, I have asked the King of Jin in advance, and the King of Jin highly appreciates Zhong Jun's ability to lead the army, and points out that Zhong Jun is loyal to the imperial court, and the previous emperor has issued a secret decree before, so there is no need to pursue this matter further, I believe Zhong Jun." ”

The Mo court and several ministers knelt down and said, "The emperor is sage." ”

The emperor said: "Get up, spread my will, and let General Pingdang immediately lead an army of 500,000 to the northwest and retreat." ”

The ministers knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the Holy One." ”

Out of the palace, the Mo court and several ministers entered the Yan Mansion, and a middle-aged man greeted him and said, "Lord Mo, my lords, why are you here?"

A minister said: "Master Yan, it's a good thing, your brother-in-law Lord Zhong has made a move, he has raised an army of 500,000 in Guzhou in the past three years, and he has asked the Holy Lord for his life and led his troops into the northwest to defend against the enemy, and the Holy Lord has given his permission." As long as Lord Zhong wins the battle in the northwest, it is possible to restore the glory of General Yan. ”

The head of the Yan family said: "Really, great, God bless, since my father and several brothers died in battle, the Yan family is left with me as a martial artist, I am worried day and night that the Yan family will decline because of this, and now my brother-in-law has protruded, and my Yan family finally has a successor." ”

Another minister said: "Master Yan, Lord Zhong is even valued and recommended by King Jin, and the Holy Lord also values Lord Zhong, you can rest assured, Lord Zhong will definitely inherit the glory of General Yan, let's go in and talk about it." ”

The head of the Yan family said: "Okay, good, a few adults, please." ”

The head of the Yan family brought them into the living room, and a minister said, "Master Mo, after I watched you go down to the court, you have a sad face all the way, I don't know what happened?"

Mo Gongting said: "I'm worried about Lord Zhong, now the northwest is just like the original Heaven Destroying Demon Gate, full of dangers, I don't understand, why did he jump into the fire pit in the northwest?"

Hearing this, the head of the Yan family said: "This, Master Mo, my brother-in-law is not a reckless person, I believe that since he has made such a decision, he must have his considerations." ”

Mo Gongting said: "I think the same way, so I have been thinking all the way, what is the reason for him to make such a decision." ”

The head of the Yan family said: "No, I can't rest assured, I have to ask him clearly." ”

At this time, Liu Wudao, who was beside Mo Gongting, said, "My lord, I know the reason. ”

Everyone looked at him, and the Mo court asked, "What is the reason?"

Liu Wudao: "Lord Zhong went to the northwest to avenge the Li family. ”

Mo Gong Ting said: "What? Is he crazy? Does he think that with an army of 500,000, he can deal with the Lei family in the northwest?"

Liu Wudao: "My lord, Miss is back, Lord Zhong's army and thousands of Li family guards are just the vanguard, they are dark and bright, and they are responsible for collecting information about the Lei family." ”

The head of the Yan family said: "The young lady you are talking about is the eldest lady of the Li family?" Liu Wu nodded in response, and the head of the Yan family said: "No, now that the Lei family is fighting against foreign enemies with the imperial court, you can't act recklessly, otherwise, you will offend the imperial court, affect my brother-in-law, and even affect the entire Qin Kingdom." ”

Mo Gongting said: "Liu Wu, are you sure?"

Liu Wudao: "My lord, please rest assured, there are some things that I am inconvenient to disclose, but I promise you that we will not act recklessly." ”

Mo Gongting said: "Okay, I believe you, everyone, this matter is very important, and I hope you will keep it secret." ”

Several ministers did not respond immediately, but all looked at the Yan family master, and the Yan family master thought for a while and said, "I also believe in my brother-in-law." ”

Several ministers responded: "Please rest assured, Lord Mo, we promise that we will never say anything about this matter." "I want to talk about "Yin Yang Wuxian" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
