The news of Yue Fei's dismissal and investigation soon spread throughout the entire army, and all the major generals and commanders of the Qin Army remained silent. After all, it was Yue Fei.
Yue Fei, the Governor of Jingzhou, and the Marquis of Yiling, neither of these two identities is simple.
So far, the Qin Army has only four general commanders: Bai Qi, Yang Ye, Wang Meng, and Yue Fei.
Yang Ye had already died in the battle at Hetao. After the war, Wang Meng was dismissed from his position as governor and went to serve as the governor of Bingzhou.
So for now, the Qin army only has two general commanders, and that is Bai Qi and Yue Fei.
As for the title of marquis, Yue Fei is the fifth Qin general to be granted the title of marquis after Bai Qi, Wang Meng, Huo Qubing and Jia Fu.
You must know that even Li Cunxiao, the first general of the Qin army, has not yet been granted the title of marquis.
As one of the two major governors of the Qin Army and one of the five great princes, Yue Fei's status in the Qin Army was definitely second only to Bai Qi, the top-ranking little man.
According to Yue Fei's status and achievements, as long as he does not take the initiative to die, he can definitely survive no matter how serious a crime he commits.
But what? Yue Fei chose to commit suicide and committed a serious crime that no monarch could tolerate. He didn't even have the power to resist, so he was imprisoned for no reason.
The arrest of Yue Fei greatly shocked other generals of the Qin Army.
Yue Fei, who was in charge of an army of 100,000, was directly dismissed from his post and imprisoned without even daring to resist. This shows how strong the lord's control over the army is.
Compared with Yue Fei, they are worlds apart, but if the master even says Yue Fei is allowed to pass, let alone them.
Through Yue Fei's incident, all the major generals of the Qin Army realized the ruthlessness of their lord, and naturally they were more in awe of Qin Hao.
Loop
When the news about Yue Fei's dismissal and investigation and Qin Hao's proclaimed king reached Hetao, Xun was the one who was most shocked.
Why didn't Xun expect that Yue Fei fell so quickly? After all, the power of the governor of a state was still very great. Even if there were constraints from the governor and the deputy governor, if the governor really wanted to resist, he would definitely find a loophole.
But Yue Fei didn't even dare to resist. This shows that the master's control over the army is too strong. Even Yue Fei didn't dare to have any intention of resisting.
Xun didn't know Yue Fei well, so he was able to capture Yue Fei without any help, all thanks to Qin Hao's control over the army.
When the monarch's control over the army reaches a certain level, even if the general in charge of the army rebels, the people under his command will not rebel with him, so the general alone cannot make waves.
The current Qin army has already had this trend. Qin Hao's prestige in the army is too high. With just one sentence, he can deprive anyone of their military power and make it impossible for anyone to resist.
Since the announcement of Sanyi proclaiming himself king, Xun, like Yue Fei, also received contact from high-ranking officials in the court.
Because Xun opposed Qin Hao's claim to the throne before, he was sent to a bitter and cold place like Hetao by being promoted openly and secretly. Now he naturally has no ability to interfere.
Xun originally had a bright future, but it was miserable enough that he ended up like this. However, the Han officials in the court were not prepared to let him go, and wanted Xun to stand up and continue to oppose Qin Hao's claim to the throne.
After thinking over and over again, Xun finally decided to write a memorial of opposition. However, his memorial did not reach Luoyang and was intercepted and destroyed by the Xun family on the way.
Xun didn't know about it at the time, and he only found out about it not long ago. When he learned about Yue Fei's fate, Xun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Fortunately, his family blocked his memorial. If it had reached Luoyang, Yue Fei would also be here today.
It’s who you will be tomorrow.
Although Xun is now the governor of Hetao, he may appear to be in a high and powerful position, but his actual power is not as powerful as Yue Fei's.
Yue Fei still had the military power of at least tens of thousands of troops, but Xun only had political power. If he wanted to mobilize troops, he had to get the consent of Bai Qi, the governor of Hetao, otherwise not a single soldier could be mobilized.
Qin Hao's political attitude has been very clear. He will not accept any betrayal. Even close officials like Yue Feixun will be kicked aside if they block his way.
Qin Hao's coldness and ruthlessness frightened and chilled Xun. Although he tried his best to protect the Han Dynasty, he was unable to do anything. His family also sided with Qin Hao, and even Xun Shuang, the elder of the clan, took the lead in supporting Qin Hao as king.
Completely disheartened, Xun decided not to participate in the affairs of the court. He had done everything he had to do. He never owed the big man anything, and the big man had nothing to do with him in the future.
Qin Hao's proclaiming himself king may seem like nothing on the surface, but in reality it is an undercurrent.
The major princes were also secretly vigilant, thinking that Qin Hao's proclaimed king was a dangerous signal, indicating that the Qin army was finally about to reveal its terrifying fangs again after two years of preparation.
Secretly, Yan Gong Liu Che and Zhao Gong Yuan Shao are also actively seeking alliances and preparing to unite to resist the threat of the Qin army.
Luoyang.
Qin Hao's king-proclaiming ceremony was not grand, on the contrary, it was extremely simple.
In a time of great chaos, Qin Hao did not want to waste limited resources on such ostentation issues.
At the king-proclaiming ceremony, Qin Hao wore a wild dragon robe, while Liu Mu wore a phoenix crown and followed Qin Hao closely, looking slightly uneasy.
Qin Hao noticed something strange about Liu Mu, caressed his jade-like cheek, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Liu Muqiang smiled, but didn't say much. Seeing this, Qin Hao thought thoughtfully and said seriously: "No matter what, we are a family."
Liu Mu felt relieved and nodded heavily.
Shortly after Qin Hao's king-proclaiming ceremony, Yue Fei was escorted back to Luoyang by Qin Hui.
Although there was no mortal enmity between Qin Hui and Yue Fei, they seemed to be innately incompatible with each other. However, since Yu Chigong was supervising them along the way, Qin Hui naturally did not dare to do anything to Yue Fei.
Although Qin Hui did not assassinate Yue Fei, on the way back to Luoyang, the convoy encountered several attacks, and even a master master took action, causing considerable losses to the team. Of course, they were all repelled by Yuchi Gong in the end.
After returning to Luoyang without any danger, the remaining problem was naturally for Yue Fei to deal with, and this was what caused Qin Hao's biggest headache.
Is Yue Fei guilty? He is definitely guilty. His biggest crime is that his political stance is not firm and he wavers between Qin Hao and the Han Dynasty. However, this cannot be used to convict him.
Let Yue Fei go like this? Let him reinstate his official position? This is naturally impossible.
Yue Fei has been completely targeted by the Han Dynasty veterans. As long as Yue Fei is still alive and still has power in his hands, and as long as Qin Hao has not changed dynasties, these Han Dynasty veterans will never turn against Yue Fei.
Qin Hao couldn't help but get a headache when he thought about it. It was neither right nor wrong to let go.
Looking at the respectful Qin Hui in the hall, Qin Hao's heart moved and asked: "Qin Hui, how do you think we should deal with Yue Fei's problem?"
Qin Hao also didn't expect that Qin Hui would be born so early, and he would always be under Yue Fei's eyes, but he never showed up. In other words, these two people are really destined to be together.
Looking at Qin Hui's five dimensions, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, most of the traitorous ministers can also be capable ministers. If they don't have the ability, they can't even be traitorous ministers.
