The unusual movements of the palace clerk also reached Wang Yansheng's ears.
Wang Yansheng couldn't help but feel fear as he watched the situation develop in a direction beyond his control.
He didn't expect that what he said about Shi Shouxin behind his back would be known to the other party, let alone that defeating him would cause such trouble.
If I had known this, what would I owe?
At this moment, he really wanted to give himself a big mouth.
Luo Yanxuan walked into the class room with a heavy look on his face, then raised his hand and slapped himself.
Now he also regrets it extremely.
The whole thing happened because of the two of them.
Luo Youdu wanted to join the party from the front office of the palace, and the two of them were extremely dissatisfied with Shi Shouxin.
They knew that Zhao Kuangyin also admired Dang Jin, and repeatedly praised him as "a really brave general with the spirit of a constant marquis", and they were interested in promoting him.
It's just that Dang Jin was unlucky. During the most critical period in the early stages of the Huainan War, his mother was ill and was unable to make meritorious deeds with the army, and was not given the chance to be promoted.
In the end, Shi Shouxin graciously transferred it to Luo Youdu, and he became the general of the Royal Camp Division.
After Zhao Kuangyin learned about it, he felt very sorry and said several times: "It's a pity, it's a pity."
Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanyi heard the dissatisfaction in Zhao Kuangyin's tone, and they also felt disgusted with Shi Shouxin and said a lot of bad things.
Shi Shouxin's popularity was second only to that of Zhao Kuangyin in the front office of the palace. He had heard about it a few times, but he didn't argue with them, so as not to hurt the feelings of his brothers over a trivial matter.
On the day of Luo Youdu's wedding, Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, and Gao Huaide helped Luo Youdu decorate North Street with red makeup overnight.
Kaifeng became a popular topic of conversation and became a topic of conversation after dinner.
Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanyi were even more dissatisfied after hearing the news. I don't know who it was that made Shi Shouxin a traitor.
When these words reached Shi Shouxin's ears, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"If I make one more friend, will I become a traitor?"
Wang Yansheng was impatient and provoked Shi Shouxin, who had raised an army to accuse him, and started fighting with him.
To this day, there is no end.
Wang Yansheng saw his friend slap him, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "What's wrong? Is there any bad news?"
Luo Yanxuan said angrily: "The commander personally went to Han Chongyun to plead for you and my brother..."
Wang Yansheng asked hurriedly: "What's the result?"
Luo Yanxuan said bitterly: "Han Chongyun did not show respect to Commander-in-Chief. It is said that Commander-in-Chief looked depressed when he left."
"asshole!"
Wang Yansheng was already grumpy. When he heard that his boss had bowed to Han Chongyun for him and had not been forgiven, his blood surged instantly. He drew out his sword, and with a sword as fast as a thunderous sword, it penetrated the rainbow and cut the case in front of him in two.
, said angrily: "In Yanyi Palace, I should have chopped him with a knife."
Wang Yansheng was filled with hatred at this moment. He was not even afraid of Shi Shouxin, so he was naturally not afraid of offending Han Chongyun.
If he were really asked to make that cut, he wouldn't dare, but if he forced his way into Yanyi Palace, the other party might not be able to stop him.
Only after defeating Shi Shouxin, Zhao Kuangyin came to the door and repeatedly told him not to act out of anger, and then he endured it.
At this time, someone else walked into the class room.
It was Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, Zhao Kuangyi.
Seeing Wang Yansheng looking like he wanted to eat people, Zhao Kuangyi hated this reckless man's misbehavior in his heart.
Even if Shi Shouxin is really a traitor, it's not his turn to speak out, let alone vent his anger.
It has reached this point where it is passive and controlled at every turn.
In Zhao Kuangyi's heart, Shi Shouxin was a traitor.
Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanxuan spoke what was in his heart.
"What are you doing? Don't you think the matter is not big enough and your brother is not enough of a headache?"
Zhao Kuangyi looked at Wang Yansheng angrily.
Looking at Zhao Kuangyi, Wang Yansheng silently sheathed his sword, lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault."
Zhao Kuangyi's tone softened upon seeing this.
Most of Zhao Kuangyin's brothers didn't take Zhao Kuangyi seriously and only treated him as their own brother's younger brother.
But Wang Yansheng, Luo Yanxuan and other confidants whom Zhao Kuangyin trained in the Dianqian Division all recognized Zhao Kuangyi.
Because at this time, Zhao Kuangyin had already taken Zhao Kuangyi by his side to cultivate his abilities.
Zhao Kuangyi sighed: "Commander Wang, please stay here for now and don't go anywhere. In the evening, follow me and my brother out of the imperial city, and then rest for a few days. We will see what happens."
"Don't worry, brother said it. You took the lead in this matter for him. Even if the commander in front of the palace quits, I still want to keep you here. Before he asked me to come, he had checked everything.
I sent a message to summon him. I think he will probably be reprimanded at least..."
Wang Yansheng's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard this.
He came out of the turmoil. He originally sneered at the word "loyalty" and felt that the world was not as big as himself. Until he met Zhao Kuangyin, he was impressed by his charisma and was willing to fight for him and fight for him.
And die.
"Third Young Master, you can't be like this! How can I let the commander-in-chief treat me like this? I am the only one who makes all the mistakes. I am responsible for all the mistakes. Don't ruin your career just for me...
…Third Young Master, I beg you to go and persuade the commander-in-chief. If you don’t serve as the commander-in-chief of the general, I can still serve as his general. But if he really loses his official position because of this, all of us brothers will die together.
"
Thinking of Zhao Kuangyin's great kindness, Wang Yansheng knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
Zhao Kuangyi hurriedly helped Wang Yansheng up and said cautiously: "Don't worry, my brother and I will do everything. Even if we really have to leave the Dianqian Division, we will find a good way out for you."
**********
Zhao Kuangyin said goodbye to Zhang Yongde, walked out of the cell, looked back, and strode away.
Wang Yansheng's trouble this time was really too big. From the first moment he got the news, Zhao Kuangyin knew that Wang Yansheng would not be able to survive in the palace.
The military is a place where merit and seniority are valued.
Shi Shouxin was one of the earliest backbones of the Dianqian Division, and he had outstanding military exploits. As the Yuhou of the Dianqian Division, he was two levels higher than Wang Yansheng's general commander.
Strictly speaking, Wang Yansheng's behavior is called committing a crime, which is a serious crime in the military.
It cannot be saved no matter what.
But Zhao Kuangyin knew better that he had no choice. Even if he couldn't save it, he had to save it.
Historically, Zhao Kuangyin was able to successfully wear the yellow robe and had three major powers in his hands.
The core strength is the ten brothers of Yishe. They are all sworn brothers of Zhao Kuangyin when he rose to power. They all hold important positions, followed by the cronies he cultivated in the Dianqian Division, and finally the connections of the old Zhao family.
His father, Zhao Hongyin, held high positions in the Later Tang, the Later Han, and the Later Zhou Dynasty. His grandfather, Zhao Jing, was also a senior official in the Later Liang Dynasty and the Later Tang Dynasty. He had deep connections in the Guards and Military Department. Among them, the familiar ones were Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, Zhang Lingduo, and Murong.
Yan Zhao.
Based on these three forces, if he doesn't become the emperor, who will?
But it's different now.
Because of the appearance of Luo Youdu, Zhao Kuangyin was not favored by the times as it was in history.
First of all, there was a big problem with his core strength, the ten brothers of the Yishe.
The ten brothers of Yishe are Zhao Kuangyin, Yang Guangyi, Shi Shouxin, Li Jixun, Wang Shenqi, Liu Qingyi, Liu Shouzhong, Liu Tingrang, Han Chongyun and Wang Zhengzhong.
But Zhao Kuangyin is not the eldest among the ten brothers in the charity society. The highest-ranking and oldest among the ten brothers is Li Jixun.
It's just that Zhao Kuangyin has strong weapons and a righteous character, and he is the most popular among the ten brothers.
But popularity cannot be used as food. At this stage, everyone is a brother, and no one except Li Jixun can step on anyone else's head.
Historically, Zhao Kuangyin established his position as the eldest among the ten brothers in the Yishe by virtue of his terrible performance in the Battle of Huainan.
Now Zhao Kuangyin still has a miraculous record. He single-handedly beheaded generals, captured Chuzhou, defeated Li Jingda, and Chen Jue on Guabu. They rampaged across Liuhe and Yangzhou. The reinforcements of the Southern Tang Dynasty, forced by 10,000 troops, did not dare to cross the river. Even if they were killed in the end.
It is not a crime of war to withdraw after a small loss.
Faced with the encirclement from all sides, Nantang deployed five times as many troops as his, but still failed to retain him and allow him to retreat calmly.
Performance must be strong.
However, facing Luo Youdu's Zhuyu in front, Zhao Kuangyin was still inferior after all.
This also led to the historical situation that the ten brothers of Yishe were convinced by Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin failed to become the boss of the ten brothers of the Yishe, except for Yang Guangyi, Liu Qingyi, Liu Shouzhong, and Liu Tingrang.
The relationship between Shi Shouxin, Li Jixun, Wang Shenqi, and Han Chongyun, the Zhou generals who really held military power, and Zhao Kuangyin was limited to being very close brothers.
Without the core of the ten brothers of the Yishe, Zhao Kuangyin now only has the power of the front secretary and the Zhao family's huge network of contacts.
The Zhao family's personal network is very powerful and can be of great use at critical times, but this kind of network is only suitable for adding icing on the cake, rather than providing help in times of need.
The confidants trained by the Dianqian Secretary are currently the only force that Zhao Kuangyin can rely on.
One can imagine the status and importance of Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanyu, a group of cronies he personally promoted, in Zhao Kuangyin's heart.
This time Wang Yansheng impulsively offended Shang Shi Shouxin, which effectively defeated Zhao Kuangyin's army and forced him into a desperate situation.
According to the normal treatment method, Wang Yansheng would still have to shed a layer of skin even if he did not die.
Zhao Kuangyin really thought about doing this.
It maintained the brotherhood and the military prestige of the Dianqian Division. But this attitude of not recognizing relatives would undoubtedly hurt the hearts of confidants like Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanxu.
Is it worth it for the current Shi Shouxin?
Zhao Kuangyin asked himself this at that time.
There were losses on both sides, so Zhao Kuangyin could only choose the one that would cause the least harm to himself.
His original plan was to make Wang Yansheng realize that he had caused a catastrophic disaster today, and the front secretary could no longer stay and asked for transfer on his own initiative.
In this way, military law was rectified, and the loyalty of Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanxuan was gained. All that was lost was Shi Shouxin's little brotherhood.
However, Zhao Kuangyin did not expect that Han Chongyun would stand up so boldly to complain to Shi Shouxin, which made the situation even more serious.
Anyway, the matter finally passed.
Zhao Kuangyin let out a long breath, thought about the three mountains in front of him, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself: "I don't believe I will be stepped on by you all my life."
