Chapter 179 The Battle of the Court!

······

Qin Zheng's mood was a little complicated.

Jiang Zuomeng's matter can be said to be solved, and with Chen Chao entering the Ming Dynasty as a hostage, he can also feel a lot more at ease.

Moreover, according to what Chen Chao said, he personally chanted the poem of compassion for the peasants in the Zhenghe Palace, claiming that he went to Jiangzuomeng, and felt it personally along the way, and realized the difficulties of the people and peasants, so he made this poem.

This naturally caused a great sensation in the court.

Hundreds of officials praised the response, the effect was very good, and Qin Zheng was very satisfied.

The mood is also very good.

But when it came to Yan Duo and Wang Hun, Qin Zheng's mood was not so happy, even if he had expected it.

For Yan Duo and Wang Hun, more than half of the hundred officials were asked to behead the two.

The reason is very simple, Yan Duo is not good for doing things, and Wang Hun is not good for commanding the army, because of the incompetence of the two, the monarch personally went to negotiate, lost the face of the court, and the two of them should be beheaded.

The crown prince Qin Yuanzhao was even more resolute, and Yan Duo and Wang Hun must be beheaded.

However, Qin Yuanzhuo, the king of Ling, interceded for Yan Duo, and Qin Zheng was very happy about this, and finally someone was on his side.

Moreover, because King Ling asked for a lighter punishment of Yan Duo, the officials of King Ling's party were also the same.

As a result, the officials of King Ling's party and the prince's party quarreled.

There was a lot of noise in the court.

Qin Zheng couldn't help but have a big head.

What Qin Zheng didn't expect was that at this time, Wang Hun came to add chaos again.

When he saw that there was no one to intercede for him, he took the initiative to excuse himself.

Wang Hun claimed that although he was unfavorable in commanding the troops this time, the responsibility was not entirely his.

He was able to stand up and lead the troops, completely out of loyalty to the king, and he should have compensated for his merits.

In Wang Hun's view, the biggest responsibility for this defeat should be put on the Qin king Qin Yuanheng, who did not personally command the troops because the king of Qin resisted the order.

Otherwise, there will be no failure.

Although such remarks proved the ability of Qin Yuanheng, the king of Qin, to lead the troops from the side, the responsibility was indeed pushed to the king of Qin.

In this matter, the crown prince and King Ling were surprisingly consistent, and they threatened to punish King Qin to set an example.

For Qin Yuanheng, the king of Qin, Qin Zheng didn't like it, although he was his own son.

But he is too inflexible, such a person is a stupid cow, and the final outcome can only be slaughtered.

Although Qin Zheng was also angry at King Qin's resistance, but at present, the army of Pingcheng in Eastern Chu has moved, the situation is still unclear, and the temporary replacement of generals may be unfavorable to Huizhou, so Qin Zheng suppressed the matter, saying that when the war in Huizhou is stable, Qin Yuanheng, the king of Qin, will be recalled for disposal.

That's it.

In the end, Yan Duo and Wang Hun both saved their lives, and the two were detained in Dali Temple.

The exact handling of the matter is still undecided, and it will only be discussed later.

Seeing that Qin Zheng was resolute, the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao did not insist anymore.

What's more, there is still King Ling pleading for Yan Duo, and this matter can only be like this.

This time, above the court, King Ling took the lead again.

······

The crown prince had some hatred, in addition to not killing Yan Duo, there was also something about the Chen Dynasty.

A little son-in-law actually asked Qin Zheng to issue an order not to allow anyone to provoke him.

As long as Chen Chao does not come out of the Ming Capital, he will not do too much.

He came to be a hostage in the Ming Dynasty, not to be an uncle.

"Father is really getting more and more confused. ”

Out of the Zhenghe Palace, the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao couldn't help but complain dissatisfied.

The officials who followed him listened, a little worried.

Wu Lou, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, stepped forward and reminded, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be like this, be careful of being heard." ”

"Hmph. ”

Qin Yuanzhao also knew that he had lost his words just now because he was angry, so he snorted coldly and didn't say more.

Wu Lou opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, this General's Mansion has been destroyed, how can this Chen Dynasty still be alive, this matter is really strange." ”

"Lord Wu, there is nothing strange about this matter, after all, the General's Mansion is not a mortal place, even if someone wants to destroy it, it can't be so smooth, and it can't be that there is nothing missing.

What's more, when the General's Mansion was fired, many people were burned to death, who knows who burned to death, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions. ”

Xu Guanzheng, the secretary of the ministry, spoke.

The conversation between a secretary of the Ministry of Industry and a secretary of the Ministry of Commerce caused Qin Wuzhao's displeasure.

"Do you have nothing to do?"

was scolded by Qin Yuanzhao, and the two didn't dare to say more.

"In the future, there will be no two words Chen Chao in front of the prince, and the words of the monarch have been said clearly, all of them will give me the bright spots in my eyes, don't easily provoke the Chen Dynasty, otherwise, if you provoke trouble in the Changlin fiefdom, this prince can't control you. ”

"The prince is relieved. ”

······

"His Royal Highness King Ling, where are you going?"

Out of the palace, I saw King Ling going to a place, and Ren Tai, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly asked, this direction seems to be the direction of the General's Mansion.

Qin Yuanzhuo said, "Today in the court, this king can hear his father's praise for the Chen Dynasty, this king wants to meet him and see how he, the former second ancestor, has changed?"

"King Ling must not, the monarch praises the Chen Dynasty, that is the monarch's broad-mindedness, and he does not care about the past with the Chen Dynasty, but if the prince goes, the monarch is afraid that he will not think so.

Lord Wang, even if you want to see the Chen Dynasty, you can't go so blatantly, you still have to act in secret. ”

Ren Tai looked mysterious, and Qin Yuanzhuo, the king of Ling, was a little puzzled.

"Lord Ren agrees that this king will go to see the Chen Dynasty?"

Ren Taidao "To be precise, it supports King Ling to be friendly with Changlin, and the Chen Dynasty is just a bridge."

King Ling didn't know that recently, the minister discovered a strange thing. ”

"Strange thing, what strange thing?" King Ling was surprised.

Ren Tai's words also attracted the attention of several other officials present, but Ren Tai had no intention of concealing it, let alone avoiding these officials, they were all Ling Wang's party, and there was nothing wrong with saying it.

Ren Taidao "This is a bit long, and I have to start talking about it two months ago, and the minister will make it short."

Two months ago, two lieutenants of the military department asked to return to their hometowns, but later received news that they had encountered robbers on the road and all of them were killed.

This matter was finally handed over to the state government on the spot to deal with.

The minister didn't bother too much.

But just half a month ago, three more lieutenants left for different reasons, and the result was either a sudden illness or something else that happened.

One of the lieutenants has just been canonized by the monarch, and he is very talented in leading troops, and it is not surprising that he will definitely be able to canonize the general this year.

These people had accidents one after another, and the minister was worried that the impact would not be good, so he secretly reported to the monarch, and the monarch sent the minister to secretly investigate, and the minister found out that the five dead captains had had several contacts with the prince. ”

"Lord Ren means that they were killed by the crown prince?" King Ling was a little clueless.

Ren Taidao: "I don't know. In addition to these, the minister did not find any useful news, the minister and the prince said this, just let the prince take precautions, although the Changlin fiefdom is a force in the rivers and lakes, but it has become the climate, and if it is used properly, it will be a big help for the prince.

Regardless of the reason for the prince's contact with the five captains, the minister felt that this matter would not be so simple, at least it could prove that the prince was fighting the army's idea.

The minister will continue to send people to investigate this matter. ”

"This king understands what Lord Ren means. ”

King Ling nodded slightly, a bright light appeared in his eyes.

It's good to have military power in your hands at any time.
