When Chi Zhongtian heard the emperor's words, his heart suddenly shuddered.

If the emperor has decreed that this matter is not to be publicized, then how did Chi Zhongtian know that he was not in the court?

It was obvious that someone must have told it.

So who could it be?

Chi Zhongtian believed that in the emperor's mind, he didn't need to think about it at all to know that it must have been Yongmen Zhen.

Because among the officials in the court, Chi Zhongtian has a good relationship with Yongmen Zidi's family, and it is no secret now, and when Chi Zhongtian was introduced, Yongmen Zhen also made a lot of efforts.

Thinking of this, Chi Zhongtian immediately secretly blamed himself for talking too much, he knew it earlier, and he should have asked it in advance.

"Chi Aiqing, can you tell me, who told you?" the emperor asked with a smile.

When the emperor asked this sentence, Chi Zhongtian thought that if he told a lie, he was afraid that it would be more troublesome, so it was better to just say it.

"Back to the emperor's words, I was overheard by the minister as a guest at the house of the Yongmen Taifu. ”

This answer, first of all, emphasized that it was not deliberately told to him by Yongmenzhen, and in addition, it was not a lie, because Chi Zhongtian did know it from Yongmenzhen's mouth.

"Chi Aiqing, Taifu Yongmen is my old minister, I know him better than I know myself, if he doesn't want you to know, you will never overhear it. The Emperor said.

Without waiting for Chi Zhongtian to answer, the emperor said again: "Didn't I say it, let you stop worrying about this matter, and hurry up and deal with your affairs on the rivers and lakes, what's the matter, have you been to see the people of Shenwu Long Yangwei?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the minister has seen it. Chi Zhongtian replied.

"If you've seen it, let's go back. The Emperor said.

Obviously, the emperor still didn't intend to give Chi Zhongtian a chance to speak, at least he didn't want to give him what he wanted to say.

It's just that since he came, of course Chi Zhongtian won't go back empty-handed, no matter what, he has to fight.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word, don't vomit or be unhappy!" Chi Zhongtian said loudly.

At this time, the emperor's eyes suddenly released a trace of essence, and he couldn't see that behind this essence, there was anger or helplessness hidden.

"Say it. The emperor seemed to be secretly pranayama, and it took a long time before he slowly spit out a sentence.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the capital crimes of the two generals, Lu Gui and Li Guang!" Chi Zhongtian said boldly.

The emperor seemed to have known what he was going to say, and as soon as Chi Zhongtian's voice fell, the emperor immediately asked, "Then you give me a reason, weishenme wants to spare them?"

"They don't deserve death, and in Lijiang City, they are also the vanguard of fighting bravely to kill the enemy!" Chi Zhongtian said.

"Sin is not to death, hum, as generals, it is their duty to kill the enemy bravely, make the best use of things, make the best use of people, what position you are in, you have to do something, this truth, you will not understand. The Emperor said.

"As lieutenant generals in the army, the two of them did not see the enemy's conspiracy in time, resulting in the capture of the commander-in-chief, how can they not be guilty of death?" said the emperor again.

Chi Zhongtian said: "Your Majesty, the documents given to the emperor by the ministers, the emperor didn't read them, every word on them is true, this matter has nothing to do with those two generals!"

The Emperor shook his head slightly, then stood up and walked around the table, and after taking a few steps forward, he said word by word: "If it's not their fault, is it the boss's fault?"

As soon as the emperor asked this, Chi Zhongtian was immediately dumbfounded, as if this sentence was really difficult to answer.

If it is not, then it is clear that Lu Gui and Li Guang are guilty, but if it is, saying that King Qing is not in front of the emperor, it is difficult for Chi Zhongtian to imagine what the consequences will be.

If you look at it from the perspective of a bystander, the emperor's questioning skills are extraordinary, no matter what Chi Zhongtian says, the emperor will never answer you head-on, but keeps starting from various places to go around the key places, and just throwing out some questions that you can't answer, even if the question has nothing to do with the focus of this matter, then he has to ask, because as long as you can't answer, then you are in a loss.

"Chi Aiqing, there are some things that you may not understand, remember my words, I use you to let you command a powerful army for me, as for the affairs in the court, you still don't want to participate, you are a person in the martial arts, you may not understand it in this life. ”

Chi Zhongtian was in a hurry, and immediately said: "Your Majesty! King Qing was captured by thieves, and the two generals Lu Gui and Li Guang must not be blamed for this matter, but it can only be said that the enemy is too cruel, and the minister believes that the emperor can also guess that there must be eyes and ears among this enemy."

"Chi Zhongtian!"

Without waiting for Chi Zhongtian to say the words zuihou, the emperor suddenly shouted and stopped him.

"Chi Zhongtian, when King Qing was about to leave the city, instead of protecting him there, all the generals went to the city gate to fight fiercely with the enemy!

The Emperor said angrily.

At this time, Chi Zhongtian was stunned all of a sudden.

In his own documents, it seems that the detailed process of King Qing's arrest was not written, and even he himself only listened to Lu Gui say a few words hastily.

However, how did the emperor know so clearly?

In this way, Chi Zhongtian is not easy to speak, indeed, Lu Gui fought fiercely with the enemy army in front of the city gate, which is understandable, but Li Guang and other generals, weishenme want to go all?

They obviously knew that King Qing would not be able to command the troops, so they had to leave a few capable generals to command those guards.

Thinking about it, Chi Zhongtian didn't dare to think about it anymore, because if he thought about it any longer, Chi Zhongtian felt that he had killed Lu Gui and Li Guang.

"Chi Zhongtian, you are getting bolder and bolder, I asked you to leave the capital, you didn't listen, you even dared to fight in the palace, do you know that these two crimes, either of which can make you die a hundred times!" The emperor looked at Chi Zhongtian, who didn't speak, and said another sentence in his mouth.

Chi Zhongtian smiled bitterly and replied weakly: "Your Majesty, this matter is too complicated, this is not something that can be solved by one person or two people who are at fault, the minister still implores the emperor to spare the lives of those two people for the time being, and after this matter is clarified, the emperor will make a decision." ”

"There's no need for this, my holy decree has been issued, and the Criminal Department has also received the decree, and the Son of Heaven has never joked about it, you don't have to say anything about it. As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked through the side door, and when he left, he left a sentence: "Do what you should do." ”
