Chapter 920: Battle Report of the Northern Territory
"Okay, since your bones are so hard, I'll bake them for you."
A bloodthirsty expression appeared in Dou Dan's eyes, and then he ordered: "Cover the big urn."
"stop."
Xu Shimo immediately spoke out to stop him, but the jailer did not listen to him and still covered the big urn.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Hongzhi felt chill.
"Shangshu Dou, aren't you afraid of your resignation from the court when you treat the officials in this way?" Xu Shimo asked in anger.
Dou Dan said coldly: "You have caused the King of Qin to become a living dead person, and you will be punished lightly in this way.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty will not blame me. On the contrary, if I help Your Majesty exaggerate, Your Majesty will reward me."
"You..." Xu Shimo was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
At this moment, a painful voice came from the urn: "Ah... it's too hot, let me out quickly."
Dou Dan asked again: "Wi Xian will do horse tricks or not?"
A firm voice came from the urn: "There is nothing to say."
Dou Dan's eyes turned cold and he ordered: "Burn the fire more vigorously."
"stop."
At this moment, Wang Yu walked in, and Qian Jiulong, Li Xiaochang and others were following her.
"Save people quickly."
At the order of Wang Yu, Daquan, Hao Shou and others took action immediately.
Extinguish the fire, uncover the lid of the large urn, rescue Wei Zheng, and then treat him. All actions were very quick.
Fortunately, Wei Zheng was not seriously injured.
Wang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Dou Dan: "Shangshu Dou, Your Majesty asked you to use torture is not to use torture. If you use torture automatically, what crime should you be guilty of?"
Dou Dan calmly bowed to Wang Yu, then said, "The princess doesn't know that these people have very hard bones, and ordinary punishments can no longer deal with them.
"If torture is not used, they will not tell the truth."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shimo snorted coldly: "Even if you use torture, we will not change our words. If you have never done it, you will not be able to make a move."
Sure enough, the bones are very hard.
Wang Yu glanced at Wei Zheng, whose feet were burnt and Xu Shimo, who was stubborn, and a feeling of admiration surged in his heart.
No matter what the final outcome of Li Jiancheng is like? These two people must be saved.
"Duke Xun? Didn't Your Majesty have a new order?" Wang Yu reminded Qian Jiulong.
Qian Jiulong immediately took out his edict: "The Minister of Dali Temple, Minister of Justice, and Censor-in-Chief obeyed the order."
Li Xiaochang and the other two knelt down immediately: "I am here."
"Your Majesty has an order to treat all officials of the Eastern Palace? Only interrogate them? No punishment can be used. If there is any violation, severe punishment will be punished."
"I will receive the order."
Dou Dan's face looked ugly. King Qi asked him to use torture to collect more evidence of the prince's crime? But His Majesty suddenly changed his mind.
If His Majesty knew what happened just now, would he be punished?
When he thought of this, Dou Dan felt very nervous.
Wang Yu squatted down to observe Wei Zheng's injuries and asked with concern: "How are the teacher?"
When Wei Zheng heard the name "teacher", he was shocked. But then he thought about it. Wang Yu could call him like this in front of Qian Jiulong, which means that His Majesty already knew it.
Can you escape unscathed when Zhao Hongzhi confessed to her, and convince Your Majesty to change your mind and not to torture them, this little girl? It turns out that she is very capable.
It seems that they are right to keep her.
Thinking about this? Wei Zheng replied respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, Wei is fine."
Wang Yu didn't say much to him? Instead, he followed Qian Jiulong to see the others.
Afterwards, Wang Yu followed Qian Jiulong back to the palace? She went back to the side hall to recuperate? Qian Jiulong went to Li Yuan to report his life.
......
As the investigation deepens, more and more officials ask the emperor to depose the prince, but the emperor has been suppressing the memorials and has not dealt with.
On this day, the eight hundred miles of rapid military newspapers were spread to Chang'an.
Jie Li Khan personally led the Turkic cavalry to invade Lingzhou, Shuozhou and other places, and fought with the Daizhou governor Lin Qian in Xincheng, and Lin Qian was defeated.
When the news reached the court, the ministers immediately attacked Li Jiancheng.
"Your Majesty, the Turks have indeed heard the news that they went south to invade the Central Plains. Now the King of Qin is unconscious and no one can compete with Jie Li Khan. All of this is the fault of the prince.
"If the prince did not assassinate the King of Qin for his own selfish interests, Jie Li Khan would not dare to invade the Central Plains at this moment."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the prince is extremely guilty. He should be abolished immediately and punished according to the law."
As he spoke, the ministers knelt down again and shouted: "Please depose the crown prince and make the common people angry."
Pei Ji and others stood up, particularly conspicuous, so they also knelt down but did not speak.
Li Yuan glanced at everyone and said angrily: "In the past, because the world was not settled, he treated the Turks with kindness to relieve the troubles and treated them with equal national courtesy.
"It is really abominable now that Jie Li Khan has betrayed the covenant repeatedly. I swear that he must be eliminated and will never tolerate it."
Everyone was stunned.
Why wasn't he angry at the prince? He went to Jie Li Khan?
Before they could react, Li Yuan had issued an order to change all the letters to the Turks into edicts or edicts.
Then, Li Yuan ordered Li Shiji to be the chief marching manager, leading the troops from Henan and Shandong to reinforce the northern border, and sent Zhang Jin to lead troops to Shiling, and Li Gao moved his troops to Dagu to fight against the Turks together.
After the deployment, Li Yuan directly announced his retreat to the court and left.
Left a group of ministers looking at each other.
Soon, Li Shiji received the imperial edict, and he immediately issued an order to set off.
However, before departure, the soldiers came to report: "General Manager, General Zhang Liang's people are asking for a visit."
Zhang Liang sent someone to see him?
"Bring him here." Li Shiji ordered.
A soldier under Zhang Liang's command came. Li Shiji once saw him: "What did General Zhang send you here?"
The soldier replied: "Sometimes ago, the prince sent someone to assassinate the King of Qin. The one responsible for the assassination was your good brother General Shan Xiongxin.
"Now that the matter has been exposed, General Shan and others have been sent to the Dali Temple prison."
Li Shiji stood up in shock. It turned out that King Qi did not lie to him, and Shan Xiongxin was indeed in trouble.
A few days ago, he received a letter from King Qi and thought that King Qi wanted to win him over, so he lied to him that something happened to Shan Xiongxin.
It turns out to be true...
"What the hell is going on? Tell me in detail."
The soldier told Li Shiji everything he knew.
After listening, Li Shiji handed a bag of money to Xiaobing: "Thank you for telling me, but I'm about to go to war, so you can go back to Chang'an first."
"Don't Duke Cao have nothing to say to me to bring to the general?" The soldier took the money bag.
Li Shiji: "No, you go back."
"Yes." The soldier left.
The confidant asked in confusion: "Will the master save General Shan?"
"Oh..." Li Shiji sighed helplessly: "Of course I have to save you, but it's not about going to rob the prison, nor about using other side-doors.
"Now, I have no choice but to repel the Turks and use my military achievements to ask Your Majesty for the sake of saving Shan Xiongxin's life."
The confidant was silent.
At this time, someone came to report: "Master, your letter was sent from Chang'an."
Li Shiji thought it was a letter written by Shan Xiong's letter, so he quickly took it and opened it and read it.
As soon as he read the beginning, he realized that this was not written by Shan Xiong's letter, but by Wang Yu.
"...Brother Li still remembers the promise I made? Now, Shan Xiongxin assassinated the King of Qin, so that the King of Qin was seriously injured and fell into a coma..."
