Chapter 475: Black and White Upside Down (Part II)
Zhao Heng spoke, and although Guo Wenhui was not enjoying it, he had to shut up and retreat aside.
Zhao Heng looked at Zhao Ling, although he didn't believe that Guo Wenhui said so unbearable, but he also felt that Zhao Ling's daughter's family, dressed like this and followed Chen Ao to the battlefield, it was really unseemly. His tone was a little displeased, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you have to refute these accusations of General Guo?"
Zhao Ling sneered twice, and his eyes swept over the faces of Guo Wenhui and the others one by one. Turning his head, he asked lightly, "Your Majesty, could it be that you believe these false words?"
Without waiting for Zhao Heng to answer, Zhao Ling said loudly: "Your Majesty, has you forgotten who prevented an assassination plot in the palace?
Zhao Heng was stunned, knowing that she was talking about Chen Ao. Now that Chen Ao is dead, it doesn't seem interesting enough to let Guo Wenhui and others wantonly slander here. Zhao Heng was speechless in a daze.
Guo Wenhui and the others were bent on currying favor with Zhao Heng, and when they saw that Zhao Ling dared to question the emperor like this, they couldn't help but be very angry. Peng Guangzu moved the fastest, jumped out and pointed at Zhao Ling and scolded: "You brutal shrew, you dare to scold the saint loudly, it is really a great crime." Someone, take her down for me!"
Zhao Heng was angry, and said in a deep voice: "You shut up for me!"
Peng Guangzu was stunned and at a loss. Guo Wenhui and the others saw that his fart slapped on the horse's leg, and they couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so they had to swallow the words that slipped to their lips again.
Zhao Ling glanced at Peng Guangzu and sneered: "Isn't this General Peng? The little woman clearly remembered that General Peng clearly abandoned the defenders of Dingzhou, resulting in the fall of Dingzhou. But he fled to Jizhou with his wife and children, and was locked up by Chen Ao. How could he suddenly appear here again? General Peng's two legs are faster than the four legs of the Khitans!"
When Zhao Heng heard this, he immediately cast a suspicious look at Peng Guangzu. Peng Guangzu opened his mouth, annoyed and angry, and scolded: "You...... You slut...... How dare you say anything in front of the Holy One......"
He scolded and trembled. Cao Yi stood aside, sneering secretly, thinking, fortunately he didn't accept these pustules of silver, otherwise he would have been pulled into the water by them.
Zhao Ling sneered, and didn't bother to scold Peng Guangzu at all, but turned to Guo Wenhui and other Jizhou guards, and asked: "General Guo, I don't know if several of your family members have also arrived in Lanzhou safely? This skill is truly impressive!"
When Zhao Heng heard this, the suspicion in his eyes deepened. As soon as he heard that so many local guards had denounced Chen Aozhi's wrongdoing, he naturally believed it. But now it seems that this is not the case.
No matter how stupid Zhao Heng is, he can still hear the meaning of Zhao Ling's words. If Guo Wenhui and others failed to keep their territory, but they kept their families, and even their own family wealth, it would be interesting.
Kou Zhun didn't wait for Zhao Heng's order, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, go and invite the families of several generals over!"
Even if the officials in Lanzhou have the heart to shield Guo Wenhui and others, they don't dare to do anything at this moment. Immediately, two officials took the order and left. Zhao Heng immediately said to Fang Baishi: "You go too!"
Fang Baishi nodded and went out with the two of them. If there are people from the Imperial City Division going with them, it is even more impossible to get tired. Guo Wenhui and the others looked like ashes, and Peng Guangzu trembled all over, and even his lips turned white. He knew that he was more guilty than others. Because it was he who gave up Dingzhou that made the situation in Jizhou worse.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "plopping", and Peng Guangzu actually collapsed to the ground. Kou Zhun glared coldly, angry in his heart, and secretly thought, these shameless people not only brought disaster to the country and the people, but also framed Zhongliang!
He suddenly thought of Chen Ao again. Although the estrangement against Chen Ao was very deep in the past, since Chen Ao took the initiative to approve of the royal expedition that day, Kou Zhun has changed his opinion of him a lot. Now that Chen Ao has been martyred, Kou Zhun can't help but sigh.
After a short time, Fang Baishi came to the hall with a group of family members. The old and weak women and children stood in a room full of people, and there was not even enough place to kneel and kowtow to Zhao Heng. Guo Wenhui and others were not embarrassed, but with a trace of luck, they were unwilling to admit their guilt directly.
Even Guo Wenhui's eighty-year-old mother could escape without being injured at all, so he didn't believe that so many young and strong defenders would not be able to escape, and Jizhou City, which was high and thick in the city, would not be able to defend it.
Zhao Heng snorted and said in a deep voice: "General Guo, your family is really a lot of people!"
Guo Wenhui's face was hot, and he said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty has won the award......"
Zhao Heng flicked his sleeves, not wanting to deal with this shameless man. Kou Zhun is the head of the hundred officials, but he is not so easy to speak. He waved his hand and said, "Take down these people first and imprison them in the Lanzhou prison." When the saint is triumphant and the class teacher returns to the court, he will be escorted back to Beijing and wait for the fate!"
Guo Wenhui and the others turned pale when they landed, and then they remembered to kowtow and beg for mercy. It's a pity that the hall is full of people, and there is no place to kneel. It was not easy for them to rush to Zhao Heng's feet, in case they were regarded by the fierce Fang Baishi as having bad intentions, and they would really have to splash blood for five steps.
So Guo Wenhui and the others stood upright, begging for mercy incessantly, looking very funny. It wasn't until the sergeant tied them up with hemp rope and dragged them outside the house that they struggled to kneel. But by this time it was already too late, and several people were quickly dragged away and never heard again.
Zhao Heng immediately ordered Lin Feng and the others to be loosened, and his kind words comforted him. How dare these soldiers blame the emperor, and immediately kowtow to show their allegiance. After finishing his official work, Zhao Heng asked the outsiders to step down, leaving only a cadre who was close to him. These people basically knew Zhao Ling's identity, so Zhao Heng relaxed a lot.
He said with some disgust: "Xiaoling, how can you talk to me like this when you really take the face of so many people?"
Zhao Ling sneered and choked up, "You want to be faced, but Chen Ao didn't even have his life!" she said, her eyes a little red.
Zhao Heng was not helpless, but it was not easy to reprimand her. After all, when the man she loved died, didn't she feel sad and sad for a while when Yunlu "died"?
Zhao Heng sighed and persuaded: "Xiaoling, people can't be resurrected after death, you still have to mourn and change!
There has never been a courtier in this dynasty who has been named a prince, and Chen Ao's honor can be said to be very heavy. But Kou Zhun and the others would not say anything against it, after all, who would care about a dead man? And Zhao Ling didn't seem to hear it, and remained silent.
Zhao Heng was a little embarrassed, so he had to continue: "Xiaoling, since you came back safely, don't run around anymore." Just stay with me, it's safer here!"
Zhao Ling snorted coldly and said unceremoniously: "You just continue to stay in this safe place." I'm going to get Chen Ao's body back!"
Zhao Heng frowned and said, "Xiaoling, why are you obsessed with ......?"
Before he finished speaking, a general suddenly rushed in outside the door and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... The Liao army is about to attack the city!"
