Xiao Qingyu was sweating coldly. If there were no officials from all provinces present, maybe the Zuo Prime Minister and the King of Qi were already helping him to win over him. But now, there was a Zhao Xun, and there were more than ten governors in the hall.
It is obvious that no one has stood up for him and the Xuanfu Envoy.
"I am wronged! All the things I report are the words of Yu De alone. I did not give Yu De the order, and I am confused..."
"Whether you are wronged or wronged is not your final decision. Come and summon the four generals of Qianniu Guard to the hall!" Emperor Xuanwu said angrily. Suddenly, he discovered that his power has been strengthened now and is no longer the same as before.
Likewise, everything became a marionette, and even the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Guards could not be fully equipped.
After a while, Yu De walked in. Well, he recovered very quickly and showed no sign of being beaten at all.
He knelt down like a jade pillar and shouted long live.
"Yu De, three days ago, did you go to the east of the city to intercept the champion general's war horse?"
"I... I did go to intercept the champion general's war horse! But that was General Xiao Qingyu's military order, saying that the war horse must be taken down." Yu De said anxiously.
"Yu De, you...you..." Xiao Qingyu looked at Yu De beside him in disbelief. He never expected that his subordinate who was trying to protect was the one who was talking about himself advancing the abyss.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wronged! I have never issued a military order. This is what Yu De did privately. Your Majesty clearly!" Xiao Qingyu cried and cried.
All the officials in the hall looked at Zhao Xun, but they didn't expect Yu De to betray Xiao Qingyu. You know, Qianniu Guards are unique and never take the emperor's military order seriously. Logically speaking, whether it is Xiao Qingyu or not
They would not admit the military orders issued, nor would Yu De admit this. But now, Yu De admitted Zhao Xun's accusation neatly, which instead caused the last blow to Xiao Qingyu.
However, everyone was also shocked on Zhao Xun's face, which meant that he didn't know and couldn't believe it.
Could it be that Zhao Xun did? All the officials thought.
Yes, Zhao Xun has no ability to bribe Yu De. You know, because of Xiao Qingyu's existence, King Qi and Murong Chengdu did not attack Qianniuwei. It was not that the two had no ability, but that they did not want to share the power equally.
The other side strengthened again and left behind a guard that neither side had ever taken. But then again, the Qianniu Guard was not very strong, better than the Imperial Guard, but much worse than the other guards.
Does it really have nothing to do with Zhao Xun? No one can explain it clearly except Yu De and Zhao Xun himself.
"Oh? Xiao Qingyu, are you talking about the champion general, right prime minister, and your subordinate Yu De lying?" Emperor Xuanwu said indifferently.
"I am wronged, I have not issued such a military order! Your Majesty is clear!" Just kidding, if you admit this, will there be a good end?
"Unforgivable? Come and drag down and behead outside the palace gate!" Emperor Xuanwu said sternly.
"Let's wait!" "Wait!" Two voices sounded one after another, one was rough and powerful, and the other was old and sharp.
When Emperor Xuanwu heard this, his face turned dark. Wait a minute. This is the tone of the ministers towards the emperor. Emperor Xuanwu really wanted to pull the two bastards down and behead them together. But he knew that this would not work, he was just thinking about it.
Taking a deep breath, Emperor Xuanwu said slowly: "What else does King Qi and the Left Prime Minister have to say?"
The two of them said that they were the King of Qi and the Zuo Prime Minister. They naturally did not want to see Emperor Xuanwu bring the unique Qianniu Guard into their hands, so they naturally wanted to stop Emperor Xuanwu from issuing the sacred edict quickly.
"Your Majesty, I think that only Yu De's one-sided words are not enough to win the trust." Murong Cheng said coldly.
"I'm going to discuss it!" Situ Lei followed closely behind.
"Is the right prime minister and the champion general not enough to win the trust? Does the King of Qi also think that the champion general, and the right prime minister united to deceive everyone?" Emperor Xuanwu sneered.
Murong Cheng's face turned dark and said, "I don't mean this. The champion general and the right prime minister naturally did not lie, but this is just a one-sided statement from Yu De. As for whether General Xiao Qingyu issued such military orders, it still needs to be verified separately."
"How to verify it? If Yu De said that after being beaten by the champion general and said that it was General Xiao Qingyu's military order, it means that verification still needs to be confirmed. But Yu De went straight to the east gate and bluntly said that he was ordered by Xiao Qingyu, the Qianniu Guard.
This still requires verification code? Does Yu De dare to pass military orders at will? Shouldn’t Xiao Qingyu be executed? A general’s military order dares to compare with the sage edict. What does he want to do?" Cheng Fuzhi said coldly.
"The right prime minister's words are wrong, and he needs to do the best to finish things. If it is true, it is natural to kill Xiao Qingyu. What if Daming was wronged? Isn't it another unjust case? As an official,
Don't make mistakes easily." Situ Lei said with a smile.
"I have evidence. When the order was sent to the day, the other three generals of Qianniuwei were also present at the same time. They can prove that I did not lie!" At this moment, Yu De said again.
"Xuan!" Emperor Xuanwu said with a gloomy face.
A moment later, the three generals were Xuan put into the hall. All the officials stared at the three of them, and Xiao Qingyu was full of hope, hoping that the three of them would prove it to him, while Situ Lei and Murong Cheng frowned.
"Things seem to be different from what I imagined, what went wrong?" Situ Lei thought hard.
Murong Cheng also found that things were a bit out of control.
"I, General Xin Ziyang (Li Dexing, Fang You) of Qianniu Guard, kowtowed to His Majesty, long live long live long live long live long live long!"
"No gifts, just keep your body calm! Three generals, Yu De went to intercept the champion general's team three days ago. Is it a military order issued by General Xiao Qingyu?" Emperor Xuanwu asked in a deep voice, staring at the three people.
"It was indeed a military order issued by General Xiao Qingyu! Afterwards, he was also ready to order the entire Qianniu Guard army to attack and take revenge on the champion general." After a while, Xin Ziyang took the lead in speaking.
"I also confirm that it is General Xiao Qingyu's military order!" Fang You also said coldly.
Li Dexing's face turned red and he said bitterly for a while: "I am sure that it is General Xiao Qingyu's military order."
"Why are you...you...so why are you?" Xiao Qingyu's face turned pale in an instant. He never expected that his trusted subordinates would turn against each other so quickly. He would not help him, but push himself into the abyss.
"It seems that the matter is clear. Xiao Qingyu was extremely guilty. He not only intercepted the champion general's war horses with His Majesty, but also tried to compete with His Majesty with his majesty and should be punished! What do the left prime minister and the King of Qi think?" Cheng Fuzhi said with a smile.
Cheng Fuzhi, who narrowed into a line, was so happy that he couldn't be more happy at this moment. He forced me every time, and this time, it was time for me to vent his anger.
"This..." Situ Lei felt depressed. He never expected that the four generals of Qianniu Guard would join forces to make a comeback.
"Does the Zuo Prime Minister think that the minister who dares to compete with His Majesty should not be punished?" Cheng Fuzhi pressed forward.
"Of course, the meaning of the Zuo Prime Minister is not. With the character of the Zuo Prime Minister, how can he do such unkind and righteous things? Lord Zuo Prime Minister, what do you think?" Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"Of course, this kind of person naturally cannot be ignored." Situ Lei sighed inwardly and said slowly.
"It seems that we are all careless and negligent. Zhao Xun must have been involved in conspiracy with these four generals and pushed Xiao Qingyu down. Since Zhao Xun entered Luoyang, although we have always paid attention to him, he still let him do a big deal. This son,
It cannot be underestimated!" Situ Lei directly raised Zhao Xun to the highest position in his heart.
Zhao Xun turned to Emperor Xuanwu and said, "Your Majesty, the Left Prime Minister means that Xiao Qingyu is extremely guilty and should be punished by nine clans! Please answer the Left Prime Minister's intention and punish these rebellious people who do not respect the emperor's orders and do not have the monarch, minister, father and son.
!”
"Ah..." The officials understood that the champion general wanted to use the help of the left prime minister to kill Xiao Qingyu's family.
Emperor Xuanwu suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes and shouted sternly: "Where is the Imperial Guard? Pull Xiao Qingyu out of the palace gate and behead him! Yu De, Xin Ziyang, Li Dexing, Fang You, Er and other four people were the prisoners and led the Imperial Guard to kill Xiao Qingyu's nine clans.
.”
Yu De, Xin Ziyang, Li Dexing and Fang You turned pale, but they also knew that they had to do this, and they had to do it even if they didn't. Since they had chosen the camp, they would have to do something to turn against each other.
Let everyone believe it.
"Abide by the order!" The four of them took the order and left.
"Fang De, Xin Ziyang, Li Dexing, Fang You, you four bastards actually betray me. Murong Cheng, what you promised me is, as long as I sue Zhao Xun, you guarantee that I am fine! You have no faith...
"The shrill screams came from outside the hall, getting farther and farther away.
Everyone in the hall immediately gathered their eyes on the faces of Zhao Xun and King Murong Cheng of Qi.
Murong Cheng's face was pitch black, while Zhao Xun glanced at Murong Cheng from time to time with an inexplicable smile.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Qingyu is dead. Should the General Qianniu Guard choose another talent?" Cheng Fuzhi saw the strange plot in the hall, shook his head with a bitter smile and said in a deep voice.
"I recommend Situ Haonan! As the general of Jinwu Guard, Situ Haonan has a rigorous military management and is enough to be the general of Qianniu Guard." The left minister recommended it, and then there was a lot of controversy.
"I recommend Xiao Yun, as a general of the Shence Army, Xiao Yun has been through the battlefield for a long time, killed countless enemies, and has made great achievements in fighting, and is enough to be the general of Qianniu Guard." This is recommended by the Qi Wang Party, and then, it is also a large number of people in line with the voice.
.
Except for a few officials and local officials of the states on the right, the rest began to argue.
Looking at the hall like the vegetable market, Zhao Xun couldn't help but speechless. These officials only introduced the people they recommended at first, but later they began to sabotage each other, and the other party's shortcomings were soon turned into a quarrel.
It's right.
The scene where Situ Lei and King Qi refused to give in and fought to the death, Cheng Fuzhi, who recommended the imperial party, shook his head secretly. Don't say whether there is any ability to lead troops in the imperial party, even these two parties are not
Will give in.
Seeing Cheng Fuzhi shook his head, how could Emperor Xuanwu not know that he finally seized the opportunity but let him slip away from him.
"I recommend the champion general Zhao Xun. Who can compare the achievements of General Zhao? General Zhao is a commoner and uses the camp soldiers as a ladder and strolls around the sky. It can be seen that the general's training ability is comparable? Qianniu Guard protects the imperial capital.
The army is not as powerful as the general, but can be taken on by a heroic army." Cheng Fuzhi suddenly said.
The hall of loss was silent. Zhao Xun had a lot of ability, but what everyone valued was his ruthlessness. He first stabbed General Qianniu Guard in public, and then defeated General Qianniu Guard. Who dared to object?
Be careful, they are the next one to kill the nine clans.
"I'm asking!" What's even more surprising is that King Qi spoke first.
"I believe that General Qianniu Guard can be held by him unless the champion general."
"Champion General, you wouldn't think that Xiao Qingyu's words were true, right?" Murong Cheng said with a smile.
Since you can't intervene, let those who can intervene enter. More importantly, Murong Cheng saw that Zhao Xun seemed to be extremely disagreeing with Situ Lei. In Youzhou and the northern part of Ji, he killed the Tiqisi. Now
When he entered the court, He Situ Lei would not deal with it. Since that is the case, let’s unite together.
"Of course, how could I think what a villain like Xiao Qingyu said is true? Maybe someone is provoking our disputes, what does the King of Qi think?" Zhao Xun also responded with a smile.
"Yes, the champion general makes sense." As he said that, he took a special look at Situ Lei.
Situ Lei's face turned dark. To be honest, he still didn't understand why Zhao Xun had to go against him. However, the King of Qi and the Imperial Party agreed, and it was useless for him to object.
"Okay, the imperial edict is that the champion general Zhao Xun also serves as the General Qianniu Guard."
"Thank you Your Majesty! I will devote myself to my whole life until I die, and repay the emperor's kindness!" Zhao Xun said respectfully.
Although it was unexpected and even a great disadvantage to Zhao Xun, the benefits were even greater. The Xiaoguo Army in and outside the city could also quietly arrange the army of nearly Qianniuwei.
