Chapter 59: Xiang Hui's questioning
What does this mean?
Xiang Hui looked at Emperor Huan Ling suspiciously, not understanding his purpose for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Emperor Huan Ling continued to say with a smile: "Look, Xiang Aiqing, you are more than forty years old this year, but you are stationed at the border all the year round, not to mention the heirs, you don't even have a woman to take care of you, if you go on like this, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Xiang family?"
"In terms of official positions and titles, Xiang Aiqing has nothing to promote, so I plan to reward you for a quiet and idle place in the local area, and you can also think about the succession of the family for your Xiang family, as for your Tiger Army, I will arrange someone to take over." ”
Xiang Hui understood it now, and those soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army also heard it, Emperor Huan Ling was planning to remove Xiang Hui from his military position and let Xiang Hui go to retire!
Xiang Hui immediately replied: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" Although the Yang Kingdom has suffered a defeat and has been frustrated, it has not yet reconciled or surrendered with our Han Kingdom, and the enemy's Sun General Han Wuyin and the Seven Absolute General Yue Qi's army have not even moved, and Weichen cannot be transferred from the battlefield yet!"
Emperor Huan Ling waved his hand casually and said: "What's this, it's a big deal to change the commander of Hezong Pass, and it's not that there is no one to use in the Han Kingdom, or scatter the Tiger Ben Army into other armies, maybe you can improve your overall strength, don't you say? Xiang Aiqing is the only seedling of the Xiang family after the founding of the country, you still have no heirs as the only seedling of the Xiang family, Xiang Aiqing can't let the bloodline of the Xiang family be broken in your hands." ”
Although I don't know what medicine Emperor Huan Ling took wrong, at this moment when the two countries are at war, he actually said that he wanted to remove Xiang Hui's military power, and even wanted to disperse the establishment of the Tiger Army? No matter what kind of big victory it was, it should not be done right, even if it was on the grounds of understanding Xiang Hui and letting Xiang Hui live a stable life that he had not seen for a long time.
The Tiger Ben Army is the main force of Hezhongguan, and Xiang Hui is the backbone of Hezhongguan, doing so can only give the enemy a chance to take advantage of the situation, no matter what Emperor Huan Ling is thinking, this proposal is something that Xiang Hui can never agree.
"Your Majesty. Xiang Hui said resolutely, "My Xiang family has been proud of the name of the battlefield overlord since the founding ancestors, the battlefield is the destination of our Xiang family, my Xiang family affairs are small, and the country affairs are big, even if I do not leave the Xiang family behind, as long as I can protect the Han country, I believe that the ancestors will forgive me if they have knowledge." ”
At this time, the envoy of the Wu Kingdom suddenly interjected: "So General Xiang is unwilling to retreat from the battlefield? Don't be so stubborn, this is His Majesty Huan Ling's will." ”
But just after the paradox finished speaking, a feeling of palpitations suddenly came to his heart, and he saw Xiang Hui staring at him with a terrifying look......
"When is the envoy of the Witch Kingdom qualified to interject in this matter? Xiang Hui said coldly.
The fat raised at the corner of Emperor Huan Ling's mouth gradually drooped, and he said: "Xiang Aiqing, the envoy of the Wu Kingdom is right, this is my will, and I am also for the good of your Xiang family, do you still want to disobey the order?"
"Outside, the military order is not subject to it!" Xiang Hui said without giving up half a point.
Hearing this, Emperor Huan Ling immediately took the case and said: "But you are not outside the border now, nor are you at the border pass, but in Luoyang! in the palace!
"Even so, you still don't listen......
Emperor Huan Ling's voice became colder and colder, and the atmosphere that was still extravagant before came to an abrupt end, and suddenly became solemn, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army stopped eating one after another, and the dancing palace maids couldn't help but slip cold sweat on their foreheads, but they didn't dare to stop, and so did those musicians, if they dared to stop suddenly before Emperor Huan Ling spoke, maybe they would be affected by the pond fish......
Xiang Hui looked at Emperor Huan Ling resolutely and said something of unknown significance.
"Your Majesty, although the minister is in Luoyang, the enemy is not necessarily outside the Guan......" Xiang Hui glanced at the opposite side meaningfully, "As long as there is an enemy, what the minister should do first is to get rid of the enemy, and after getting rid of it, it is not too late to listen to His Majesty's decree." ”
Seeing Xiang Hui targeting himself like this, he immediately said: "What does General Xiang mean by this? I am here for the friendship between Wu and Han, and I have brought the most friendly kindness on behalf of Wu Guo, why does General Xiang inexplicably question that I am an enemy?"
"I am usually informal, maybe I accidentally offended General Xiang with my words and deeds, but I also asked General Xiang not to spew blood. ”
Hearing the words of the contradictory party, Xiang Hui just sneered.
Emperor Huan Ling also said: "Xiang Hui, what the envoy of the Wu Kingdom said is right, this is Luoyang, the imperial city, where is the enemy here?
"Friendship? Hmph, if it is destroyed by my questioning out of thin air, it means that this is not a reliable friendship. Xiang Hui said coldly, "Your Majesty, the minister's suspicion of the envoy of the Wu Kingdom is naturally for a reason, not out of thin air, when he returned to Luoyang before, the minister had been investigating for a long time, and today he took this opportunity to confront him in front of His Majesty." ”
Emperor Huan Ling frowned and said, "Oh, what are you going to confront against?"
The opposite side was also flustered, but he forced himself to calm down and asked, "I also want to hear what evidence General Xiang has that I am an enemy of the Han State." ”
Everyone became nervous, and those palace maids and musicians were also driven out by Emperor Huan Ling's wave, and the erosive aura in the hall had disappeared, replaced by a tense solemnity.
Xiang Hui said: "When the Yang Kingdom took advantage of the Hezong Pass to celebrate the four hundred years of the establishment of the Han State, he took advantage of the laxity to attack the Hezong Pass, but before, General Jin Yang of the Yang State led thousands of elite soldiers to sneak into the Han State in advance, trying to cut off the back road of the Hezong Pass, I think you should all know about this, right?"
As he spoke, Xiang Hui not only looked at Emperor Huan Ling, but also glanced around, this matter had already been reported with the battle report, and it was naturally impossible for those ministers not to know about it.
After hearing this, his expression was a little flustered: "I have heard a little about this and this, but what does this have to do with our Wu Kingdom?"
"Aren't there any traitors in your Hezong Pass? Maybe those traitors helped, or they were negligent enough to sneak into the Han Kingdom? Why do you say that we brought them in with the help of the Wu Kingdom?"
Hearing this, Xiang Hui suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, I heard that the witchcraft of the witch country is very magical, but I didn't expect it to be so, I didn't expect the envoy to be unpredictable, I know what I want to say...... Xiang Hui laughed.
"When did I say they were sneaked in?"
The contradictory party suddenly panicked and said: "Coincident, coincidence, this is a coincidence! Anyway, they either bypassed the joint longitudinal pass, or they were smuggled in, I was only talking about one of these two possibilities, isn't it!"
"Yes, yes, what the envoy said makes sense. Xiang Hui said with a smile.
"Then I would like to ask the envoys, the thousands of retinues who have traveled with you from the kingdom of Witch......"
"Where are you now?"
