Xianfeng looked at Wang Yu's leaving figure, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a smile appeared on his face.
Regarding the matter between Li Zhen and Beide, he can actually leave it to Wang Yu, and the matter can also be limited between Li Zhen and Beide, minimizing the impact. Xianfeng does not want to see fighting turn into friendship. Now that a situation has broken out, let the people on both sides make the quarrel more serious and completely become two opposing sides, so that he can sit on it and watch the show.
About half an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.
Li Zhen, Guiliang, Du Han and Beide were all standing at the door, waiting for Xianfeng to summon them.
When Xianfeng knew that the four people were coming, he was so excited that he directly asked them to enter the Yangxin Hall. Beide and others knelt down and saluted. Xianfeng asked a few people to stand up, looked at Beide, and said lightly: "Beide, Li Zhenhe I already know about your matter and have read the confession submitted by Shuntian Prefecture Yin. Please tell me what happened."
"thump."
Bede knelt down and said loudly: "Report to the emperor that everything is the slave's fault. Please punish me."
At this time, Du Han also raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the cause of this matter is Wei Chen's fault. If Wei Chen hadn't been lax in educating his daughter, hundreds of guards in the Du Mansion would not have beaten Admiral Li. If It's not that Wei Chen was lax in educating his son-in-law, Bede would not have mobilized soldiers to attack Admiral Li. For all this, Wei Chen has an unshirkable responsibility and asks the Emperor to punish him."
When Li Zhen and Guiliang looked at it, solemn expressions appeared on their faces.
This Duhan is indeed an old fox.
Du Han took the initiative to plead guilty and took the blame. Li Zhen and Guiliang immediately lost their reason to criticize Du Han.
Xianfeng was satisfied with Du Han's attitude, but it was difficult for him to expand the matter after Du Han's words. Xianfeng changed his mind, looked at Li Zhen, and scolded softly: "Although what happened today is Bede's fault, you are also responsible." For a certain reason, the two sides only had a verbal dispute, but you asked the soldiers to teach Bede a lesson and even got into a fight. Can you admit your mistake?"
Xianfeng changed his target and targeted Li Zhen.
Originally, Xianfeng planned to use Bede to stir up trouble, but after hearing Du Han's words, Bede took the initiative to admit his mistake, leaving Xianfeng with nothing to do. Now Xianfeng instead stimulated Li Zhen, also wanting to test Li Zhen's attitude.
Li Zhenlai had had a careful conversation with Guiliang before and had a clear idea of Xianfeng's mentality. He was neither arrogant nor impatient. He took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "Go back to the emperor, I am not wrong."
"Asshole."
Xianfeng gave a soft drink and said: "You took the initiative first, isn't it wrong?"
Li Zhen shook his head and retorted with reason: "Your Majesty, I am a soldier in the army. I don't read much. I don't know any big principles, but I understand a simple truth."
Xianfeng immediately asked: "What's the reason?"
Li Zhen's eyes were clear and sincere, and he said loudly: "Whoever treats me well, I should treat him well. As the saying goes, Taoists respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet. If someone bullies me, I will repay him a hundred times." Bede said Wild words and humiliating my wife are bullying me and cannot be forgiven. As for letting the soldiers under my command beat Bede, I will never regret it. If I had to do it all over again, I would not let the soldiers take action and I would definitely teach Bede a lesson myself. If the emperor wants to punish someone, I have nothing to say and let the emperor do whatever he wants."
Xianfeng nodded slightly, showing satisfaction.
What he was most proud of was that he continued to favor Li Zhen. After listening to Li Zhen's words, he took it in as a matter of course, thinking that Li Zhen was loyal to him. After listening to Li Zhen's words and seeing Xianfeng's expression, Du Han frowned, The development of things was already unfavorable to him. Now Li Zhen showed his loyalty in front of Xianfeng, obviously because he wanted to gain Xianfeng's favor.
Du Han turned his eyes and said slowly: "Admiral Li, no matter what, it is wrong to strike first and hit someone."
No matter what Li Zhen said, he would kill Li Zhen on this one.
Guiliang took a step forward, bowed his hands to Xianfeng, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Li Zhen loves his wife very much, so he is in the situation he is in today. It is understandable."
The emperor looked at Li Zhen and asked again: "Li Zhen, what do you think?"
Li Zhen looked at Du Han with stern eyes and said: "Master Du, on my way to the palace, I heard a news. People said that Master Du's wife was robbed of money and sex when she went out to offer incense and worship Buddha. Not only that. , the concubine in Mr. Du’s house is unwilling to be lonely, and constantly seduces the servants, secretly..."
"Li Zhen, you are going too far."
Du Han's eyes widened and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. His old face turned red and he clenched his fists.
Li Zhen smiled coldly and said immediately: "Your Majesty, Mr. Du's relatives have been slandered, and he looks like he wants to devour me in one gulp. Even Mr. Du, a well-educated and humble gentleman, can't bear it. How can I bear it?" If that's the case, it would be a good thing if I didn't break Bede's legs. If the emperor wants to punish him, I have nothing to say."
When Du Han heard this, he was even more stunned.
Unexpectedly, this guy would refute him like this.
Bede knelt on the ground, listening to Li Zhen's retort to Du Han, secretly saying that Li Zhen was bold. At the same time, he secretly regretted it. It was really unlucky to meet such a cunning and cunning person.
Xianfeng laughed heartily, waved his hand and said, "Okay, Li Zhen, okay, I forgive you."
Based on Li Zhen's words just now, Du Han will definitely not give up.
Xianfeng expected that there would be a fight between the two sides, and he felt more comfortable and admired Li Zhen even more. This man was brave and worthy of being his chosen general. Seeing the dispute between the two sides, Xianfeng no longer thought of teasing. Shen The voice said: "Bede uttered wild words and slandered Zhilan, and he did not have the royal power to mobilize soldiers. He was deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner."
Bede was helpless and could only accept it.
Xianfeng looked at Li Zhen again and said, "I will punish you with three months' salary for your impulsiveness this time. If you do it again next time, you will not be spared. When you go back, you will shut yourself up and reflect on your mistakes."
Li Zhen immediately said: "Your Majesty's kindness is so great, I can't thank you enough."
Xianfeng achieved his goal, waved his hand and said: "Everyone, go down."
Li Zhen, Guiliang, Du Han, and Beide left together and left the Yangxin Hall. When the four of them were standing outside the Forbidden City, Du Han stopped, looked at Guiliang and said, "Master Shangshu is very calculating. Today not only is he punished Bede has embarrassed me, not only that, but also increased Admiral Li's weight in the emperor's heart once again, it's really a lot of effort."
Gui Liang said with a smile: "The old man's temperament is far inferior to Master Du."
Du Han's expression changed, and he suddenly said coldly: "Don't think that you can be arrogant with the support of Lao Liu. As long as Su Shun, Zai Yuan and other adults are in the court for a day, you will never get ahead."
Guiliang said calmly: "It is still unclear who will win and who will lose. Just like today, didn't you Master Du suffer a disaster? If such things happen one after another, Sushun, Zaiyuan and others will all be affected. You It will not be easy to control the center again. Mr. Du's remaining shadow will eventually be used up one day, and the days are long. Let's slowly compete to see who is better, you or us."
"Hongyi, let's go."
Guiliang got into the carriage with Li Zhen and headed towards Shangshu's Mansion. Du Han flicked his sleeves and got into the carriage with Bede angrily and rushed towards Du's Mansion.
