Chapter 48: The Truth Comes Out, The Major General
The book continues from the last chapter. The old man talking to the four people is the old man Yu who persuaded Xie Dasha a few days ago. He sells some dried fruits such as dried peanuts and melon seeds. The four people in front of him now seem to be
I want to see Xie Dasha to buy scones!
"That's right! Where is the old lady who sells scones?" Pan Wailian asked, "Who? Oh! You don't mean Dasha's mother? She died almost a year ago."
"But I haven't given him the money yet?"
"Money! What's wrong with the world? Everyone says that the emperor is a young and promising emperor. Look at it. I think he has seen these things and has to ask himself whether he has a purpose?"
Old Man Yu was not afraid of being called treasonous and immoral for saying such things. When he said this, Emperor Suzong's face turned blue and white.
Don’t be afraid of having your tongue cut out!”
"There is so much evidence that I might as well tell you about it. Let me just say that this girl, who is young, owed someone money and refused to pay it back. She waited for someone to fill it in the soil for a year before she realized her conscience and remembered to come over and pay it back.
,Did I make a mistake?" Old man Yu shook his fan and sarcastically told his reasons.
"What's your excuse?" The guard heard what he said was irrelevant.
"Hey, boy, let me tell you, just a few days ago! Thanks to Dasha for begging for money, he got beaten..." Old man Yu became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, and asked Dugu to persuade him as he wished, pointing fingers and saying it again, solemnly
Emperor Zong's face became even more uneasy, and he asked: "Then why don't you sue the official?"
"Suing the officer? You really can't stand and talk without pain. Didn't you listen to what I just said? It would be great if someone really took care of it!" Pan Wailing said: "Old man, what you said is really scary.
Are they that powerful?" "Dasha is a good kid, and he repays his kindness. In my opinion, the two arrested murderers should have been unjustly accused!"
"Is he still coming?" Suzong asked, "Come, wait until someone releases the good guys and arrests the bad guys! He must come, otherwise I will have to pack up and go home!" Suzong listened to what he said.
, his heart felt cold, and he said to one of the guards: "Privately find out for me who the street wolf is and how powerful he is!" "Old man, don't worry, the current emperor is a good emperor.
But he has so many things to do, how can he possibly get everything done? He will definitely catch all the bad guys!"
After hearing these words, Suzong felt very happy and overwhelmed with beauty. He didn't need others to praise him. What he needed was to understand that he looked at the pure and graceful palace maid with tender eyes, just like in the hot summer.
The slim lotus leaves give people a refreshing feeling. However, this unintentional private visit outside the palace allowed the aloof emperor to hear the voices of the common people. This is a good thing for the emperor.
Back in the palace, Suzong learned the answer to "Who is the street wolf?" He only had a faint smile on his face, and this smile contained great contempt for the street wolf.
But now he couldn't deal with these small things. Emperor Suzong was still worried about the rebellion in the north, as if it was a heartache.
Early in the morning, in the Xianyang Hall, all the civil and military officials were neatly dressed. Wen Dong and Wu Xi stood on both sides. Two princes, three groups of civil servants, and four groups of military generals were waiting for Emperor Suzong. Manager Zhang shouted loudly: "The emperor has arrived -
—”
All the ministers knelt down and shouted long live the mountain. Suzong saw that all the ministers were in the palace, but the minister ordered Li Chong to take leave due to illness. Suzong asked: "My beloved sirs, I recently received a letter from the King of Linhuai. , he said in the letter that tens of thousands of soldiers from the imperial court encountered stubborn resistance from Hu Chen, the pseudo-King of Gaoping, in Kundulungou. Hu Chen occupied the favorable terrain and caused heavy injuries to our soldiers! I am very worried about such a situation!"
Zuo Pu shot Yuan Zhuan out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to exterminate the thieves. If the thieves are not destroyed, I swear not to return to the court to the death!" Emperor Suzong nodded and said: "Aiqing is a member of the clan. The previous chapter Use troops to create immortal achievements! I always feel that this battle is not the other way around. I love you and will retire."
General Yuan Cha came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, the chaos in the six towns in the north today is like a source of fire. The source of fire ignites with the wind and can only be extinguished by the rain!"
"My dear friend, this is so true. Who can put out the fire?"
Sikong Husichun walked out of the squad and walked to Danqi. He knelt down and said: "I agree with the Hussar General. The fire in the six towns has spread. Now only Huaishuo is still in our hands. Once it is lost, The six towns will be connected together! At that time, I'm afraid - I will still recommend the old minister to lead the expedition! Li Chongde has a grand position and is actually a minister of the country. Your Majesty's dispatch is in line with the wishes of the public. I hope your Majesty will think of it!" "Yes! , I’m afraid only Mr. Li, the minister, can settle the matter!” Everyone laughed in agreement.
After listening to Sikong Husichun's words, Suzong also felt that they were reasonable and said: "The Huqing family is concerned about Zhenghe and my wishes, but the old minister ordered Li Chong to be ill in bed. How can we go to the battlefield?" All the civil and military officials listened. When the emperor said this, he thought to himself: But who else can lead the troops in the war besides him? Even the famous generals of this dynasty, Li You and Li Shuren's uncle and nephew, died on the battlefield! What should we do?
"Your Majesty, didn't you say that? I am your Majesty's treasured sword!" The voice came from outside Xianyang Hall. Suzong felt so familiar when he heard this voice. He stood up from the dragon chair and asked: "Yes?" Does Mr. Li love you?"
"Your Majesty, this is an old minister, and the old minister is here!" When the courtiers saw Li Chongjian walking to Danqi, he knelt down and gave the emperor a royal ceremony.
Emperor Suzong was very happy and said: "Hahaha, old dear, are you all in good health?"
"Thanks to your Majesty's blessing, I'm fine. Look!" After saying that, he took off the long bow from his body, pulled it to a full circle, and without panting and without changing his voice, asked: "Your Majesty, look at this sword. Are you old?"
"Okay! Aiqing is really my precious sword. This sword never grows old!"
When everyone saw that he had recovered as well as before and was able to go out to fight the rebellion for the imperial court, everyone happily knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" After the shouts were finished, Li Chong said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to protect you. One person is the striker, just——”
"Ai Qing, just play it, why hesitate?" Suzong looked at him as if he was a little embarrassed.
"It's just that this person is still in prison!" As soon as this sentence was thrown out, all the ministers and ministers said all kinds of things, and the crowd was noisy. Some people said: "How can a prisoner be made a general!" Others said : "Only talents are useful!"...
"Who is this person?" Suzong asked loudly, and everyone suddenly became quiet.
"Your Majesty, this person is called Dugu Ruyuan. He is the son of the former Wuchuan town general. Although he is in prison, as far as I know, it was all caused by killing the people!" So Dugu Ruyuan went to Beijing to ask for help. Why did he fight Huang Deren and fight After he died, he encountered a wolf on Dongsheng Street who bullied others too much. He came out to do justice, but was captured by the Dali Temple Prime Minister. He was almost executed. He summarized what happened in concise language. The emperor heard the second half and What he saw and heard was exactly the same, so it must be true. Li Chong submitted a memorial to Huaishuo general Yang Jun asking for help.
Zuo Pu shot Yuan Zhuan again and sent out general Dugu Ruyu. How did he perform in the counterattack against Rouran? He described it to the emperor. Emperor Suzong was fascinated. He didn't expect that there was such an amazing young man in the world, so he immediately issued an order to let him go.
Dugu went to the palace to meet the king as he wished
Dugu Ruyuan and Delekmo were summoned and rushed to the Xianyang Hall. Dugu Ruyuan was wearing prison clothes, knelt at the foot of the steps, and performed the royal ceremony. Emperor Suzong saw that Dugu Ruyuan was very talented, and Delekmo was unusually tall, so he secretly said:
They are indeed two generals
"The person kneeling down is Wuchuan Dugulang?"
"Your Majesty, you are the guilty one!"
"What crime did you commit? I have heard the whole story. Now is the time to employ people, so I have decided to pardon your sins!"
Dugu heard the emperor's words from Jinkou as he wished, and wanted to pardon the two of them for their capital crimes. He said: Everyone said that your Majesty is a benevolent king, and it is true today! He opened his mouth and replied: "Your Majesty is a most benevolent king.
This is the blessing of the country. I have thanked Your Majesty for not killing him. Although the cause of the incident was not mine, his guilt should be determined by the government, so as not to violate the laws of the country. I killed him out of anger.
If you kill him, your life is at stake after all, so I still ask your Majesty to convict him! To uphold law and order!"
After listening to his righteous words, the emperor and the ministers all raised their thumbs. Emperor Suzong, Longyan Dayue, said: "What a great Dugu Lang of Wuchuan, a true husband! In this case, I still have to punish him, then
Well, I heard that you were a senior general, and now you have been demoted to a partial general! You must not act rashly in the future. There is also a punishment for you to be a vanguard general to rescue Huaishuo and destroy the bandits!" All the ministers were happy, how could the emperor do this?
Being punished is simply an extreme favor. Gao Hai wanted to leave the class several times. He was a cunning and cunning man who sized up the situation and swallowed his bad breath. His heart was even more filled with hatred for them.
The emperor issued an order to Li Chong to use his official position as an envoy, open a palace, and conquer the north as the governor. He also issued an order to summon Li Chong's son Li Shengui to be the general of Pingbei, and to accompany his father on the expedition to the north.
Li Chong was ordered to mobilize his troops and send generals to attack the north. He prepared a plan without mentioning the bill. In Huaishuo City, the generals repelled and defeated the attacks of Liu Han's Baling and Helian brothers several times. However, Yang Jun on top of the city heard this when he had been waiting for Dugu to return as he wished.
The sound of killing in the direction of Kundulungou was loud, but no reinforcements were seen crossing Kundulungou.
The three brothers He Bayun, look at the arrogant formation of the bandits under the city every day. It is impossible for the soldiers in the city to be trapped in the city day by day. Although they led the troops to fight out several times, there were many enemy soldiers, and Yang Jun was afraid of losing his troops and losing his generals again and again.
Ming Jin withdraws his troops and hangs the war-free card
He Basheng thought about being trapped in the isolated city these days, and his strength was being depleted day by day. If this continued, the danger would be closer to them step by step. Thinking of this, he walked to Yang Jun's handsome mansion.
What did he want to say, or did he come up with some clever plan? Stay tuned
