From Jinyang City to Changluo City is nearly 5,000 miles away, but there is a big road to connect, a group of more than ten fast horses to whip, the night of the sixth day just darkened, rushed to the military camp outside Changluo City, ready to rest here for a night, tomorrow and then enter the palace to face the saint. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, Liu Jiancheng and Liu Wang and Liu Cai disappeared that night, Wei Zhenshan didn't ask, and An Qianshi and Tie Niu also knew that they had returned to the palace in advance.

As soon as the next hour passed, Wei Zhenshan was already waiting outside the palace with An Qianshi, Huang Dawei and Tie Niu.

As a general, although Wei Zhenshan is in a high position, he cannot enter the palace at will without being summoned, and the forbidden army in the entire imperial city is not under his command.

But it was not until almost noon that the eunuch summoned them into the temple. When you enter the palace hall, you have to bow down, but fortunately, An Qianshi is not very repulsive about this, and he is also a person who has read a lot of books, so this etiquette is still acceptable.

Tie Niu was also explained by An Qianshi, and he will do what he does when he sees what he does.

After three shouts, the current emperor on the main hall said: "The generals are flat, give the seats!"

Immediately, eight eunuchs carried four golden-backed chairs in the order of His Highness, Wei Zhenshan took the lead and thanked him before sitting down on the first chair, Huang Dawei second, and then An Qianshi and Tie Niu sat down in turn.

An Qianshi peeked at the current emperor Liu Yan, who was sitting on the first dragon chair on the top of the main hall, who was in his fifties and had a very good complexion, naturally exuding a majestic momentum.

This should be gradually formed by being in a high position all year round, but An Qianshi found that the emperor actually had the cultivation of the strength of the nine grades.

And the emperor's subordinates are four people in turn, among which Liu Jiancheng is among them, it seems that these are the princes, the oldest is about thirty, and the princes are some civil and military officials.

"Wei Aiqing, I have already read your previous recital, but what is said in the recital is the truth?" Emperor Liu Yan said.

Wei Zhenshan stood up and replied: "Long live Qiyu, what the last general said is true, and there is no lie." ”

"That's good, Wei Aiqing has always been loyal to the country and upright, it will not be wrong, Shi Yuke can come forward and listen to the seal!"

After Emperor Liu Yan listened to Wei Zhenshan's words, he was going to directly reward An Qianshi!

"The end will be. An Qianshi hurriedly stood up and replied.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say!"

A slightly old voice sounded, and then an old man who looked to be seventy years old stood up tremblingly.

"Cao Mang... It's this old thing again, hum!" An Qianshi heard Wei Zhenshan curse in a low voice.

It turns out that this guy is Prime Minister Cao Mang, but in An Qianshi's eyes, Cao Mang is not as weak as he looks, this old guy also has the strength of the nine grades, but there seems to be some treasure to cover up, if it weren't for his unusual spiritual body, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see it.

It seems that this old guy is hiding very deeply!

I saw Cao Mang pretending to tremble and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this General Shi is so young, the old minister suspects that he has been bewitched by someone with a heart and risked his military skills, and he asks the emperor to see it!"

"Oh, Cao Aiqing means that I have been deceived by someone, and I don't know people anymore!" Emperor Liu Yan's face suddenly became ugly.

"The old minister didn't dare, the old minister was just worried that someone would take the lead and take advantage of some people for nothing. Cao Mang hurriedly explained.

"The father was angry, and Erchen felt that there was some truth in Prime Minister Cao's words, this Shi Yu was only nineteen years old, how could he break into Qin Yue's army alone, and kill more than 10,000 enemies alone, Erchen felt that this person had ill intentions, and should be arrested immediately, and tortured to find out who was instigating. ”

Sitting next to Liu Jiancheng, a young man about twenty-six or seventeen years old also stood up and said.

An Qianshi peeked at Liu Jiancheng, and found that Liu Jiancheng was looking at himself with a smile, and when he saw that he was looking at it, he smiled slightly, and made a reassuring gesture to himself.

In fact, An Qianshi didn't take it seriously, it's a big deal that he doesn't want this reward, but whether that young man and Cao Mang are aimed at himself or Wei Zhenshan!

After listening to the young man's words, Emperor Liu Yan asked without the slightest expression on his face: "Then Chengji, who do you think Shi Yu will be instructed by?

It turned out that this young man was Liu Chengji, the second prince of Juxian, and he was also the most discordant with Liu Jiancheng.

Liu Chengji was stunned when he heard Liu Yan ask like this, and immediately replied: "Erchen has no evidence, it's just that whoever is most beneficial to such a great credit is naturally the most suspicious." ”

Everyone in the hall frowned, Liu Chengji's words were too obvious, and the spearhead was directly pointed at Wei Zhenshan.

Wei Zhenshan himself frowned, he himself was clean, and as a general with heavy troops, he had never participated in any factional battles, but several princes except Liu Jiancheng had intentionally or unintentionally wooed him.

I didn't expect that my truthful reporting of achievements would be so targeted.

So he directly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "What does King Juxian mean by this, it is a fact that our army defeated Qin Yuejun? If the old man really wants to get the reward, he will directly take the credit to himself, so why lie." ”

"General Wei's words are not right, you are already a general and the Marquis of Zhenshan, you can no longer be promoted, of course, it is the most suitable to win over the high-ranking subordinates, the old man looks at General Wei, you have a ghost in your heart!" Cao Mang interjected on the side.

And the meaning is very clear, that is, you Wei Zhenshan is making a ghost and wants to promote your own people.

Wei Zhenshan shouted angrily: "Cao Mang, you... You are talking nonsense, how can the old man have been in the army for decades to benefit himself, and please ask the emperor to learn about it. ”

Obviously, Wei Zhenshan is not Cao Mang's opponent in terms of verbal kung fu, not to mention that there is also a second prince who is here to interfere.

An Qianshi really couldn't stand standing there, this Cao Mang was indeed hateful, it seemed that he had already colluded with the second prince.

In this way, if he hadn't inadvertently stimulated Liu Jiancheng's bloodline, the second prince Liu Chengji would be the most promising person to win the throne.

"Hmph, stop it, I'm still here, you are arguing like this, don't you take me seriously!" Liu Yan on the throne snorted angrily.

"Erchen didn't dare. "The old minister didn't dare. Liu Chengji and Cao Mang hurriedly said they didn't dare.

"Since none of you have any evidence to prove that Wei Aiqing lied, then you have to say more, Shi Yu stepped forward to listen to the seal. Liu Yan once again asked An Qianshi to come forward and reward him.

"Father, the son still feels that it is inappropriate, this Shi Yu is young, how can he have such the ability to make great contributions, the son still feels that he should be cautious. ”

Liu Chengji still said to Liu Yan without giving up.

"Father, the sons also feel that what the second emperor brother said is reasonable, this Shi Yu's origin is suspicious, and how can he have the ability to kill the deputy marshal of Qin Yuejun alone at such a young age, not to mention that this person is also proficient in pharmacology and poisoning and detoxification, and is also in charge of the army's room, which is really suspicious. ”

The young man who was about eighteen or nineteen years old who was sitting under Liu Jiancheng also got up and said.

An Qianshi knew at a glance that this should be the fourth prince, Liu Chengye, the king of Changle, Liu Jiancheng once said to himself that the relationship between the four princes and the second prince is the best, and the two of them are naturally the closest to each other.

However, as soon as Liu Chengye's words were finished, several people's faces changed, first Cao Mang, followed by Liu Chengji, and of course, Emperor Liu Yan.

"It seems that Emperor Chengye is very familiar with Shi Yu's situation, I don't know how you know that Shi Yu is still in charge of the army's room?"

Only then did Liu Chengye realize that he had said too much, and his expression changed greatly, and his eyes turned straight towards how to answer.

Liu Chengji hurriedly said: "Father, this is all a child's mouth, when General Murong came back before, Erchen cared about the front-line war, and asked General Murong in detail, General Murong once mentioned to Erchen that Shi Yu was originally a centurion in charge of the room, and he paid attention to it because he was promoted by General Wei, so he was also taken into custody by General Wei. ”

Liu Chengji's words successfully resolved Liu Chengye's negligence, and also pointed the finger back at Wei Zhenshan, and planted the contradiction between Murong Weiguo and Wei Zhenshan on An Qianshi.

An Qianshi on the side couldn't help but admire him a little, this Liu Chengji really has a lot of eyes, and Cao Mang's help, if Liu Jiancheng is not activated bloodline, the future throne will be his.

At this time, Liu Jiancheng suddenly stood up and said, "Father, since everyone thinks that it is impossible for Shi Yu to make such a great contribution because he is young, then you will know his skills after teaching him!"

After speaking, he gave his father a look.

Liu Yan pretended to be contemplative and thought for a while, then said: "This method is good, I also believe that General Wei will not falsely report his military exploits, so let's do it, since Emperor Chengji you doubt Shi Yu's skills, Emperor Chengji you have the strength of the eighth grade, then you will try Shi Yu's strength, as long as Shi Yu can defeat you, it means that he has the ability to kill the deputy marshal of Qin Yuejun, and this battle exploit is naturally true." ”

Now even Wei Zhenshan understands that the emperor must have known the cause and effect from Liu Jiancheng, and this proposal is obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Chengji and wants to use Shi Yu's hand to teach him a lesson as a prince.

Wei Zhenshan hurriedly said: "The emperor is wise, this method is very good, and he uses strength to explain everything." ”

An Qianshi was depressed, he was not afraid of losing, he had always been very heavy, and it would not be enough to kill him, but what if Liu Chengji injured the emperor and turned his face!

Liu Jiancheng seemed to have already thought about it, and immediately continued: "Father, this fist and sword has no eyes, if Shi Yu is invincible, it will not hurt if he bullies the king to death, but it is not good if the second emperor brother is injured or even killed by Shi Yu." ”

"It's okay, Shi Yu, listen, if you hurt Chengji, I won't hold you accountable, but if you die, you will have to die, are you willing?"

Liu Yan seemed to have a smile in his eyes when he said this.

"Emperor Xie, although the last general is fighting the battlefield, the attack is heavier, but the attention point is not so that he will kill King Juxian, if it is really a miss, the last general is willing to fight with his life. ”

An Qianshi already understood in his heart, so his answer was also very clear.
