Chapter 1724 - Intense Quarrel
After Yongmenzi Di found out all this, he suddenly became furious. Regardless of Mai Jun's dissuasion, he insisted on coming to King Huan to ask for clarification.
"Master Imperial Envoy, this marching and fighting requires timing. How can I lead the troops to fight if the timing is not available? Besides, how can the people starve to death and not get a bite to eat? I think this is clearly caused by unruly people.
, Your Excellency, don’t pay any attention to it!” King Huan said while drinking tea.
"The unruly people are causing trouble? Well, please come with me, Marshal, and I will show you what unruly people are causing trouble." Yongmenzi Di continued.
At this time, King Huan suddenly put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and then said: "Well, since your Excellency said so, I have an idea. How about this? I will hand over all the troops and horses to you. You go
How about the war? I will return to the capital right now, and I will leave the affairs here to you, sir?"
"you!"
When Yongmenzi Di heard this, he couldn't bear it. Isn't it obvious that you are competing?
"Commander, now is not the time for you to compete. Please think about the people in Xiping City. If the Marshal thinks that what I said is all lies, then I can ask the prefect of Xiping City to come and tell you in person."
"No need, I have the final say on the war. The imperial envoy will either lead the troops to fight for me, or go back and have a good rest, and don't interfere."
"Commander!"
"Yongmenzi Di!"
Suddenly, King Huan suddenly stood up, slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, then pointed at Yongmenzi Di and shouted: "Yongmenzi Di! Who do you think you are! Dare to shout and drink in front of me?
Do you think you are great because your father gives you an imperial envoy? Do you believe that if I kill you right now, your death will be in vain?"
What King Huan said made him feel a little angry. The guards outside had heard it, but no one dared to come in and join in the fun.
When Mai Jun saw something was wrong, he wanted to drag Yongmenzi Di away first, but he didn't expect Yongmenzi Di's temper to be even more violent.
"Bold! I am the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor as a supervisor. I have the Holy Spirit at my disposal. How dare you threaten me! Where are the imperial guards!"
With a roar, a dozen guardsmen standing outside immediately rushed in.
After these imperial guards came in, Yongmenzi Di immediately continued: "This man threatens the imperial envoy, let me take him down!"
"Who dares!"
King Huan grew up, and this was the first time he heard that someone was planning to capture him.
At this time, King Huan's guards also rushed in from the outside, with their swords drawn and the atmosphere tense to the extreme.
Mai Jun never expected that things would develop to this point. At this time, it was too late for him to stop it.
"This is the holy decree. Anyone who dares to make mistakes will be killed without mercy!" Yongmen Zidi suddenly took out the imperial decree from his sleeves, held it above his head with both hands, and said majestically.
"yes!"
The Imperial Guards don't care about you, they will do whatever the imperial envoy tells them to do.
Therefore, a dozen imperial guards immediately pushed out all the guards of King Huan, and threatened them with knives while pushing them back.
"You...are you going to rebel? Come, come quickly!" King Huan immediately panicked when he saw that this was serious.
"Commander, I want to save you some face. You'd better give me an explanation as to when we will send out troops."
The original intention of Yongmenzi Di was to ask King Huan to send troops quickly. The city was too consumed and could not hold out for long.
"Yongmenzi Di, stop talking nonsense. If you have the guts, tie me up!" King Huan was already going crazy with anger at this time.
"Sir, Marshal, what are you doing? Hurry up and disperse. Why are you doing this? We all work for the imperial court. There is no need for this."
At this time, Mai Jun quickly stepped forward and started to smooth things over.
Some generals also came here at this time, and at Mai Jun's suggestion, they all came in.
"Yes, Commander, please calm down, Sir, please calm down too. You are all doing this for the sake of the country and the people, so why should you quarrel."
"That's right."
Soon, a dozen generals hurried in.
Under the fooling of these dozen generals, King Huan was pressed down on the chair in a daze, and Yongmenzi Di was also dragged away by Mai Jun.
"Sir, why are you doing this? If you have something to say, it's not worth it to fall out with His Highness."
After walking out, Mai Jun began to persuade Yongmenzi Di.
"General Mai, it's not that I'm short-tempered. Look, does he look like a commander? It's not like you haven't seen how miserable the people in the city are, but what about him? He's still drinking tea there. When I ask, it's not the right time.
When the time comes, is it possible that the time will come after the people starve to death?" Yongmenzi Di said angrily.
"Sir, you can slowly tell him that His Highness is a person who wants to save face. It's definitely not okay for you to force him like this." Mai Jun continued.
"No, I have to report to the Emperor. This is too much!"
"Don't!"
As soon as Mai Jun heard this, he quickly dragged Yongmen Zidi to a deserted place by the roadside.
"My lord, please don't be confused. This is unavoidable. Your Highness is the emperor's biological son. You must know how much the emperor cares about face. If this is a memorial, the emperor will definitely not be able to come down. It will be you, my lord, who will suffer the consequences.
!”
"Nonsense, the emperor is a wise king, how could he abolish public service for personal reasons?"
"My lord, you are really confused. Have you forgotten about His Highness the Third?" Mai Jun said in a low voice.
When he said this, Yongmenzi Di really murmured in his heart.
"But what should the people in the city do? I just went to the Yamen in the morning, and Mr. Li said that there is no food." Yongmenzi Di softened his words and said something else.
"In this way, let the commander-in-chief see if we can allocate some from the army. In addition, you can also talk to the commander-in-chief about transporting some grain and grass from Fanlan City. As long as you pay attention on the road, nothing will happen."
"Well, this is the only thing we can do now. Otherwise, if Xiping City is not taken away by the enemy and the people start rioting again, we will be in trouble."
The reason why Yongmenzi Di was so angry is not without reason. If the people in the city have no food, they will easily riot. Once they riot, big trouble will happen. If nothing else, if the people spontaneously organize tens of thousands of people
Open the city gate and that's it.
"Sir, you don't have to go to this matter in person, I'll go tell the commander." Mai Jun knew that Yongmen Zidi would definitely not be able to pull off this face.
"Okay, then I'll bother General Mai." said Yongmen Zidi.
"Sir, you don't have to be polite, this is what I should do."
Mai Jun was not stupid. He followed Yongmenzi Di out to do things. If things were done well, it was Yongmenzi Di's credit. If things went badly, he would be charged with failure to cooperate, so he might as well suffer the consequences himself.
