Lord Jinyiwei
Chapter 62 Guarding Yourself?
Within a few days, the three of them went to ask many people again, and almost all of them said that there was nothing unusual that day, and the answers were the same over and over again, and what's more, they said that Maitreya Buddha was angry and punished Ming's army.
After Zhang Yong heard about it, he slapped the rumored soldiers on the [-]th board, but after a few days, the rumors began to spread again, even worse than before, but the soldiers didn't dare to speak in front of Zhang Yong. Almost.
The three of them searched for a few days, and when they found out this result, they couldn't help laughing or crying, but they had no choice but to rush home together, and then helped Liang Si. Liang Si got a bunch of flowers from somewhere, Guo Sheng said. It was pepper, so Liang Si used it to stir-fry, and it was even more fragrant and tasty.
The news of Zhang Yong's defeat came. The rebel army occupied a state and county, guarded by a city, and refused to open the gate. Zhang Yong led an army to attack and broke the gate, but unexpectedly, an ambush was set up in the city——
The portraits of Maitreya Buddha hang high on all sides, and the arrows from the city come suddenly. The arrows carry fire, and the portraits stand in the fire, but they are not burned to the slightest. For some reason, the sound of wooden fishes sounded from all around, and someone was chanting: "Maitreya Buddha is born, King Ming is born. Huangtian will die, heaven will be born, white lotus will descend to earth, and all people will turn around..."
Zhang Yong knew that he was playing tricks and playing tricks, but the army's morale was disturbed and the formation was chaotic, Zhang Yong was unwilling to do so, but Yang Yiqing knew that he should retreat at this time, he immediately grabbed Zhang Yong's arm and led the army to retreat.
In this battle, hundreds of thousands of troops were lost, and all of them were wiped out in the city!
Zhang Yong was furious, and when he came back, he wanted to severely punish the general who retreated before the battle. Yang Yiqing persuaded him, but the other generals had already heard the news, and privately said that the military salary might be stolen by Zhang Yong.
After Zhang Yong heard it, he kicked open the door where the three lived a good life, and saw: cross bridge tofu, chopped pepper fish head, spicy shrimp, Buddha jumping over the wall...
The dishes were so piled up that the table couldn't fit, and the table was covered with animal carcasses and bones.
Wen Taichu said: "Admiral Zhang, come here quickly, there are some more, Master Liang's cooking is really delicious! I really envy Hong Mao now."
Zhang Yong: "..."
Wen Taichu served a bowl of rice, Zhang Yong pushed it away, and said sneeringly: "Did the three adults have a good time playing? Have you forgotten the case?"
Wen Taichu explained: "Admiral Zhang, you misunderstood us, we asked every day, and it turned out..."
Wen Taichu paused.
Zhang Yong's face was extremely ugly: "What's the result?"
Wen Taichu didn't dare to say.
Liang Sidao: "Twenty deputy generals and seven generals in the army, fifteen of them said that you were guarding yourself and stealing. Admiral Zhang, what do you think of this matter? The three of us came to the door to inquire about the case, but you closed the door and refused many times. Let the subordinates answer, what is the answer?"
Zhang Yong smiled coldly: "You have been investigating for so many days? Just found this? I think you should leave."
Zhang Yong flung his arms and left.
Wen Taichu said at a loss: "Admiral Zhang is angry?"
Liang Si nodded, took a piece of tofu and chewed it in his mouth, it was tender and refreshing, Liang Si said: "Let's go for a walk."
Wen Taichu waved his hand.
Liang Si and Guo Sheng walked slowly under the city wall.
"Where is the 5000 taels of silver?" Liang Si looked serious, "Do you think it was Zhang Yong who stole it from himself?"
Guo Sheng shook his head: "Zhang Yong can't do such a stupid thing."
Both Liang Si and Guo Sheng knew Zhang Yong very well, and they had already made up their minds. Liang Si said, "How did the White Lotus Sect transport such a huge amount of money?"
Guo Sheng pondered deeply.
At this time, a voice came: "Maitreya Buddha, you are so merciful, the villain's younger brother and I had no choice but to bump into you, my younger brother is already dead, you must not embarrass him in the ground..."
Liang Si and Guo Sheng walked over.
There was a soldier kneeling on the ground beside the city wall, and there was a brazier in front of him. The ghost paper was burning in the fire, and the flames shone on the soldier's begging face.
Jiang Bin rode over with someone on horseback: "Come here! Take this man down!"
The soldier turned his head quickly, his face pale.
The soldiers were tied up and begged for mercy repeatedly: "General, please forgive me, please forgive me, my brother has already died for the siege!"
Jiang Bindao: "Admiral Zhang expressly ordered that whoever spreads rumors in the army and mentions Maitreya Buddha will be punished immediately!"
The man froze.
Jiang Bin's subordinates dragged the soldier to the corner of the city wall, and with a "shua", drew out the saber at his waist. The cold face of the saber reflected the waning moon.
The soldier trembled all over, and suddenly shouted: "I know who stole the military salary, I know!"
Liang Si and Guo Sheng heard the voice and rushed over: "Wait a minute!"
Jiang Bin bowed his hands to the two adults, and then raised his hand to stop the punishment.
"Who stole the military salary?" Liang Si asked.
"Zhang, Admiral Zhang..."
-
In the court, the flames illuminated the faces. Liang Si had a panoramic view of the expressions of everyone present. Zhang Yong stood in the middle of his pale face. Yang Yiqing was beside him, frowning slightly. The other generals stood on both sides, each with complicated expressions.
Liang Si asked the kneeling soldier: "What evidence do you have to accuse Admiral Zhang of stealing 5000 taels of military pay?"
The soldiers in the next hall trembled, lowered their heads and said, "Villain, villain has no evidence..."
Liang Si: "There is no evidence, how do you determine?"
The soldier said: "Because... because apart from Admiral Zhang, no one else could steal the military pay. On the night of the fifteenth day, Xiao Sa and I changed shifts. I had just finished counting when Admiral Zhang came and said he wanted to see the money... I counted The money was always there, and only Admiral Zhang and the people sent by Admiral Zhang went in..."
Liang Si asked: "Admiral Zhang, is there such a thing?"
Zhang Yong said coldly: "I went there, but the military pay is all there."
Liang Si: "What is Admiral Zhang doing?"
Zhang Yong: "Just to make sure, I saw a mouse, so I sent someone to clean it."
"Admiral Zhang, do you believe what you say?!" General Guo Xin said.
Zhang Yong shot sharp eyes, and looked around the room: "I don't need to explain anything to anyone! If you have this time, it's better to discuss tactics, so that the enemy will not make a big mistake if they make a small plan."
Zhang Yong left after speaking.
All the generals looked ugly and whispered to each other.
"Zhang Yong is too perverse, too contemptuous of others!"
"The military salary was lost in his hands. Why does he look like it has nothing to do with him? He is favored by the Holy One. He has countless jewels. How can we, a general, compare to him? We only count on the money from this reward."
"The army's salary is gone, what's the fight? I don't think he's focused on solving the case at all. The thief is calling for the thief!"
"At the beginning, everyone wanted to arrange people to take turns guarding the military pay, but he refused. The guards belonged to his subordinates, and the military pay was lost from the Shenji Camp. If it wasn't him who stole it, it must be someone from the Shenji Camp! What kind of organization, it all depends on what he wants to do!"
……
Yang Yiqing frowned, and shouted: "Everyone shut up! Now it can't be determined by just one person's mouth!"
The crowd refused to accept: "Even if it's decided, what can we do with him? Zhang Yong is completely hegemonic in the army, don't look at what he means, we generals say they are partial generals, but in fact they are just here to accompany training! "
"That's right, Zhang Yong is too arrogant!"
"Even if it is reported to the Holy Majesty, I am afraid that the Holy Majesty will protect him. He has always been confident in the army!"
……
Yang Yiqing kept a cold face, stopped talking, and took Liang Si and others out. Yang Yiqing sent the soldiers to the dungeon.
Yang Yiqing cupped his hands and said, "I hope the three of you will find out the case as soon as possible! If the case is not cleared up for a day, and the military salary is not recovered for a day, the army's morale will not be united, and this battle will not be won."
The three nodded, and Yang Yiqing sent the three of them out of the mansion, when a scream came from the dungeon just as they were about to leave!
The four hurried over.
Zhang Yong stood in the dungeon, holding a dagger in his hand, blood was dripping from the dagger, his back was facing the four of them.
A bad premonition rose in the hearts of the four of them.
Several partial generals also heard the voice and rushed in.Lying on the ground, the soldier just now and the soldiers who detained him were all lying on the ground, their throats were sealed with a knife, very fast!
Yang Yiqing said: "Admiral Zhang, what happened?"
Guo Xin looked at the corpses on the ground: "Will Admiral Zhang say that these two committed suicide in fear of crime? Or did you want to ambush you, and you had no choice but to kill these two, just because there was no witness?"
Zhang Yong: "That's true. These two people failed to ambush me, and they killed themselves by the knife."
Guo Xin raised his eyebrows angrily: "...!!"
Liang Si asked, "Admiral Zhang, why is he here?"
Zhang Yong clasped his hands behind his back and said arrogantly: "This soldier slandered me, so he is naturally not from my camp. Presumably he has already been bought by thieves. Let me ask him about the whereabouts of his salary."
Guo Xin snorted coldly and said: "Admiral Zhang is really so clear and refined about killing people, so I think about our soldiers and military pay, and this general never knows!"
Another general, Feng Yu, said: "On the first day when the military salary arrived, Admiral Zhang, do you still remember what you said yourself: You said it was only 5000 taels of silver, not enough money for a table in Xianyun Building."
Another general said: "Everyone has heard this sentence. Admiral Zhang doesn't care about the military salary at all, but he only allows his people to guard it. It's not for guarding and stealing, but for what?!"
The general's complaints grew louder.
Zhang Yong frowned.
Yang Yiqing shouted: "Everyone, don't fall for the enemy's tricks! It's not that Admiral Zhang doesn't care about the military salary. He once told me that 5000 taels of silver is too little. Moreover, once the military salary arrives, Admiral Zhang will be in trouble day and night." Sending people to guard, not daring to relax in the slightest, Admiral Zhang treats the soldiers well, everyone can see it."
"His heart towards the soldiers is to defend day and night. He is worried that we will surrender to the enemy? Let's discuss a tactic, saying that our veteran tactics are old-fashioned and don't know how to adapt? He, Admiral Zhang, is rich as an enemy, so naturally he looks down on us on the battlefield. A person who trades his life for money!" General Feng Yu said.
Yang Yiqing bent down and cupped his hands: "Admiral Zhang's character is a bit perverse, but everything he does is for the sake of Daming. If there is any offense, I, Yang Yiqing, am here to make amends for him!"
Zhang Yong's face was as cold as ice.
Guo Xin's face was hard, not unmoved: "It's useless for General Yang to speak for him, we must seek an explanation here today! Seek justice!"
"Yes!" the generals said.
Liang Si checked the wound and said, "These two really committed suicide."
Guo Xin: "Admiral Zhang's martial arts are world-class, it should not be difficult to fake two suicide wounds."
Zhang Yong couldn't bear it anymore, it was like talking to a group of stupid people, and walked out with a wave of his arms: "These two people are not worthy of my killing. If I, Zhang Yong, want to kill these two people, there are thousands of ways to make the gods know nothing." Don’t you realize, why trap yourself here? It’s a waste of effort to explain to you people!”
The generals were enraged: "You——!"
Guo Xin looked ugly, stepped out of the prison door, and held up the tiger amulet: "Where is the Guo family army?!"
Guo Xin used to be a veteran of the late emperor's time. His subordinates, the Guo family army, were brave and fierce. They followed him through life and death for decades, and even the late emperor feared him a little.
Immediately, the Guo family army came over immediately, and the 20 troops surrounded the prison door and responded, as if the earth was shaking.
Yang Yiqing said in shock: "General Guo, what are you doing?!"
Guo Xin: "Mr. Qing's side!"
The author has something to say: open V tomorrow, all three chapters.
Code words are not easy, I often stay up late to earn some mask money, thank you to everyone who reads this novel, thank you for your support!
☆、Chapter 63
Everyone's complexion changed, Zhang Yong's complexion was gloomy, and he clenched his hands tightly. He drank it, and the Shenji Camp would also come, but he fell into the enemy's trick!
The night was vast, only the flames were jumping around, reflecting on Guo Jiajun's knives, as cold as the cold night, the surroundings became quieter than ever before, as quiet as the sound of a weapon colliding could be heard.
Guo Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The late emperor was alive, and the world was prosperous, but in just a few years, rebellions broke out, and the people were in dire straits. It's all because of you sycophants who have slandered by His Majesty's side!"
Guo Xin narrowed his eyes and made up his mind to raise his hand, waiting for a gesture!
The faces of the people changed in shock.
Guo Sheng didn't rush, he took the imperial decree from Liang Si long ago, and said: "I came here according to the decree, and the emperor ordered me to judge Zhang Yong on behalf of the emperor for stealing 5000 taels of military pay, killing people to silence him, and removing Admiral Zhang. The chief admiral of the Shenji Battalion will be escorted to the capital for trial in the near future!"
Guo Xin paused, and looked up at the bright imperial decree. His mutiny was a rebellion!
-
Zhang Yong was imprisoned in the dungeon with his whole body in shackles. He will be escorted back to Beijing for trial tomorrow.
At Haishi, the lights in Liang Si's room were flickering and were still on, with only a little wick left.
Yang Yiqing sat with the three of them, huddled in front of a small table, and there was dinner for tonight at the table, Liang Si simply tidied up.
Yang Yiqing put his hands on his head and frowned: "Although Zhang Yong is arrogant and domineering, his mouth is hard and his heart is soft. It is impossible for him to get the military salary."
"I know." Guo Sheng nodded, "But the situation was critical at the time, so we had to stabilize General Guo first. After returning to Beijing, we were trying to find a way to come back to check for clues. During this time, I will trouble General Yang to pay more attention. The spy did what he wanted. , I'm afraid it will show my feet."
Yang Yiqing nodded.
Liang Si followed suit: "Now the evidence all points to Zhang Yong. The enemy's method is very poor but very effective. If the spy is not found, he will return to the capital. The Holy One is reluctant to deal with him. Guo Xin can't do anything to him, but his theft He will bear the charge of military pay for the rest of his life."
Liang Si continued: "So I still have to ask what happened on the [-]th and [-]th of this month?"
Yang Yiqing thought for a while, and said: "If there is any abnormality, the only abnormality is that there are suddenly a lot of rats in the army. The places where these rats crawled will cause some rashes when they come into contact with human skin. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. It's a big problem, but Admiral Zhang is worried that many people will get skin diseases if the rats crawl to the silver and distribute it to every soldier."
"Rat?" Everyone was puzzled.
-
Zhang Yong was "escorted" to the capital, and the Holy Majesty announced that Liang Si and others had described the case in detail. Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair of the Qianqing Palace and dropped a note bitterly.
The three of them saw that it was a memorial jointly signed by various generals in Hunan: requesting severe punishment of Zhang Yong!After thinking about it, these generals also knew that Guo Sheng was just a stopgap measure, and it would not be a matter of nothing when they arrived in the capital.
Before the three of them arrived in the capital, Zhu Houzhao had already received the memorial.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear it any longer: "These generals are so stupid, how dare they decide what kind of strategy they have? Deqi is too lazy to do these things! If he wants money, I will give him 2 taels. Deqi doesn't care about the money! If Deqi loses a hair in Hunan, I will definitely kill them!"
Liang Si, Guo Sheng, Wen Taichu: "..."
Liang Si: "Your Majesty, this case..."
"This case is definitely not done by Deqi. They haven't been charged with the crime of civil strife before the battle. It's good for them to ask me to punish Deqi severely. If I knew this, I wouldn't give them a tael of silver or a copper coin!"
The three again: "..."
The three of them waited for Zhu Houzhao to swear, and after a while they got tired and lay down on the dragon chair panting.
Liang Si saw the right time and immediately said: "Your Majesty, this case should be closed as soon as possible. I think that although Admiral Zhang has no motive and insufficient evidence, but the morale of the army has been shaken and he has no intention of fighting. At this time, Zhang Yong should be detained to calm the morale of the army. The two adults, Chen and Guo Wen, will also investigate the case as soon as possible."
"What did you say?! You let me take Deqi into custody?!" Zhu Houzhao stood up.
Liang Si said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this is just for the Hunan generals to see. If the army is not united, why fight?"
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand resolutely: "It's just a mob. Could it be that they can't win if they don't receive a moral period?"
Liang Si: "...the minister resigns!"
Guo Sheng's eyes darkened slightly: "The minister will leave!"
Wen Taichu looked at the two of them, and finally said: "The minister also resigns!"
"You, you...!" Zhu Hou stood up angrily.
Zhang Yong was released by the court, and even His Majesty felt sorry for Zhang Yong being wronged and rewarded with many jewels. The news spread to Hunan in a few days. The news came that the army retreated to Henan and it was difficult to defend the city.
The court was in turmoil, and Zhu Houzhao finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He listened to the suggestions of the academicians Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe in a panic, and immediately allocated ten thousand taels of silver to reward the three armies.
The silver was sent, and Zhu Houzhao personally wrote a memorial to encourage the morale of the soldiers, but at this time the morale of the soldiers was low, the morale of the army was scattered, and the army was defeated. Everyone only heard the slogan of the White Lotus Sect, and they were frightened.
Guo Xin wrote a memorial to Zhu Houzhao, stating that for the current plan, only severely punishing Zhang Yong can comfort the army and boost morale!
Zhu Houzhao was afraid that Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe would see the memorial, so he hid the memorial. A few days later, Guo Xinping wrote another memorial in a flat manner, which actually told Zhu Houzhao a story, completely without the anger of the previous memorial. up.
Zhu Houzhao finished reading it in a cloud of fog, completely unaware of what it meant, and threw the memorial casually.
Yang Tinghe happened to see it when he came to the cabinet, and immediately his face changed drastically. He called Li Dongyang and brought this memorial to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Yong are watching a sideshow in the Leopard Room.
Zhang Yong's complexion has deteriorated day by day in the past few days, it is useless for Zhu Houzhao to make him happy.
"Your Majesty, Guo Xin really didn't hand you the memorial?" Zhang Yong asked again with a serious expression.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes flickered: "No, no... just told me a story..."
Zhang Yong: "...?"
Zhu Houzhao: "It is said that there was a man named An Lushan in the Tang Dynasty, and so on, his story is not well written. I read it for a long time, but I didn't read it..."
Zhang Yong's complexion changed abruptly.
At this time, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe hurried over, and when they looked at Zhang Yong, their eyes sank.
Zhang Yongdao: "The minister resigns."
"Hey..." Zhu Houzhao followed Zhang Yong with his gaze.
Here, Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang knelt down together, and Zhu Houzhao was surprised: "What are you two teachers doing?"
Li Dongyang is a talented student, and he took the memorial and told Zhu Houzhao: This Guo Xin wants to imitate An Lushan. If your majesty does not follow Tang Xuanzong's example in bestowing Yang Yuhuan and Zhang Yong on death, then the emperor of Qing Dynasty will be on his side, and the army will come forward!
And after the Qing emperor of Anlu Mountain, he became the emperor and changed the name of the country to Yan!
This is a metaphor!Your Majesty!
After listening to Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe's analysis in a daze, Zhu Houzhao slumped on the table and said blankly, "Zhen, Zhen..."
Zhu Houzhao hesitated all day. Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang chased him. Zhu Houzhao hid in Jingyang Palace. I fell in love with it at first sight, and it has been years since then.
"Your Majesty, how do you judge that Admiral Zhang didn't steal the 5000 taels of silver? You gave him absolute power, status, and favor. Did you ever think that he would become like Liu Jin in the future?" Yang Tinghe said when he said this. , looking determined.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but startled.
Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang have collected a lot of evidence, one piece of evidence is conclusive, the former Xianyunlou, what he did secretly, cultivating power to form a party for personal gain, etc., he is cultivating power with the power given to him, why?
Why has he never told me these things? !
Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to think——
Did the white and shy person who used to squat in front of him also change?Or, he was never who he imagined?
Zhu Houzhao couldn't figure it out. The crown he had grabbed was crooked. Qian Ning said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that slave got that cat from a foreigner? Angora cats look very docile, but when the owner is not around , his sharp claws will stick out and compete with other cat species for territory."
Zhu Houzhao was so irritable that he walked out with strides.
"Where's Deqi?!" Zhu Houzhao stood in front of Zhang Yong's gate.
The butler rushed over in panic and knelt down: "Admiral, the admiral has gone to Dali Temple..."
"What is he doing there?" Zhu Houzhao frowned.
"It is said that I asked to be taken into custody..."
Zhu Houzhao was startled, but his heart relaxed. After Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, he said to Qian Ning, "Take my handbook to Dali Temple and ask Wen Taichu to take good care of Deqi. If there is anything wrong with him, I will ask him at Dali Temple." !"
Qian Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and he took the handbook.
-
Yang Yiqing wrote a letter to Guo Sheng, in which he said that he had already set a trap and was working carefully, and sent the two men who "suicided" in the hands of Zhang Yong that day to Beizhen Fusi.
Zhang Yong has been in prison for many days. The prison uniform he wears is made of high-quality Hangzhou brocade. The wood he sits and lies on must be agarwood, which is hard to come by. .The chain lock on the door was just for show, it was not locked.
Zhu Houzhao often dressed up as a prince who had committed crimes, and forced Wen Taichu to imprison him. Wen Taichu saw that he was also wearing a prison uniform and locked in a death row with Zhang Yong, and felt that his life was not long.Amitabha, is it okay for these two to fight at home or go home?
On this day, the trap set by Liang Si, Guo Sheng, and Wen Taichu finally began to respond, and Yang Yiqing wrote back: I can't stand the fine work anymore!
The moonlight was bright, and the capital, which had just rained, looked completely new. There were still puddles and puddles of water on the ground, and water dripped from the branches one by one.
Guo Sheng, Liang Si, and Wen Taichu gathered in Beizhen Fusi, waiting for news from Yang Yiqing——
Xi Zuo acted yesterday, and will definitely arrive in the capital tonight, who is behind that? !
☆、Chapter 64
Yang Yiqing, Guo Xin, Jiang Bin and other generals stood under the bridge and saw a man from a distance of several miles. The man was facing away.
Yang Yiqing was startled, he was so familiar with this figure!
On the bridge, the figure was talking to the spies. The spies were kneeling. Zhang Yong took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the spies.
Yang Yiqing frowned.
All the generals rushed forward, Yang Yiqing stared blankly at the figure who turned around: "Rest in the world, stunning in beauty."
The spy said to Zhang Yong: "Maitreya Buddha is born, King Ming is born. Huangtian will die, heaven will be born, white lotus will descend to earth, and all people will turn around! I am willing to follow Zhang Yong and swear allegiance to the death!"
The spy drew out the dagger, wiped his neck and killed himself.
Zhang Yong: "..."
Guo Xin said angrily: "Zhang Yong, what else do you have to say!"
General Feng Yu noticed that the spy was holding a letter in his hand, he pulled out the letter to have a look, and said anxiously: "Let's take a look, all the generals!"
Zhang Yong looked at the words on it and frowned: "This letter was given to me by him!"
Guo Xin sneered, everyone saw clearly at that time!
Guo Xin: "Confront your Majesty!"
The Jinluan Palace in the middle of the night is solemn and solemn, and the four-character plaque of "Jianji Suiyou" hangs high, which is inviolable.Liang Si, Guo Sheng, and Wen Taichu who received the summons stood aside.
"General Yang, tell me everything," Guo Xin said.
Yang Yiqing glanced at Zhang Yong, hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, in many battles with the rebels, our army retreated steadily, and the enemy knew the tactics of our army every time. The minister and several generals suspected that something happened in the army. The spy, after discussion, set up a trap to catch the spy."
Yang Yiqing paused for a moment, the scene just now was really shocking, it was unbelievable!
Seeing the pause, Guo Xin continued: "Your Majesty, the minister and the generals deliberately spread the capital in the army and sent reinforcements to help, flanking back and forth, the spies really couldn't sit still." Guo Xin snorted coldly, "The minister and the generals will follow all the way. When the spy arrived in the capital, he saw Zhang Yong handing him a letter, which said: "There is no reinforcements, don't fall for the trap, take advantage of the victory and pursue, the great cause of Bailian is just around the corner!"
Guo Xin walked quickly to Zhu Houzhao and sat down, handing over the letter with both hands.
Zhu Houzhao took it in a daze, looked at it for a while, and said, "You frame Deqi with your nonsense!"
Guo Xin's complexion darkened, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty, the evidence is convincing, and you still want to cover up such sycophants? Our soldiers went to and fro for the imperial court, and the corpses in Hunan and Hubei were strewn all over the fields, and the corpses were shrouded in horse leather. He was always in the court, relying on His Majesty's favor, he was well-clothed and well-fed, did he think about those soldiers who died in battle?!"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned by the roar.
Guo Xin stood in front of the driver without moving.His eyes were like bell jars, looking at Zhu Houzhao.
Guo Sheng glanced at Guo Xin's hand tightly holding the handle of the saber at his waist, and said, "General Guo, please be safe and don't be impatient. The army is retreating and the casualties are heavy. We don't feel better than you. It's just that collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country is a felony. The Procuratorate has the right to investigate this matter clearly. Mr. Guo doesn’t want to be recorded in the case policy as a hastily settled case, so why don’t you listen to what Zhang Yong said.”
Guo Xin looked over, his eyes were cold, swords and swords were killing people like hemp, like a battlefield, Guo Sheng's expression did not change.
Guo Xin said: "Okay, I want to see how he turns black and white!"
Zhang Yongdao: "I received a letter saying that he knows who is the spy in the army and has the formation plan of the White Lotus Sect. He invited me to meet at Dongyue Bridge in the north of the city."
Guo Xin seemed to have heard the nonsense, and sneered: "The thief shouted and chased the thief!"
Guo Sheng said: "Is the letter still there?"
Zhang Yong took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and Guo Xin said, "It's just a forgery."
Zhang Yong opened it, his face changed slightly.
There are no words on this piece of paper.
Guo Sheng took it over and said, "Please trouble Eunuch Qian to call some eunuchs to take down the lantern from the beam."
Qian Ning nodded and went out to call the eunuch.
Guo Xin said: "Zhang Yong, tell me how you received this letter?"
Zhang Yong: "The letter was thrown into my prison by a man in black."
"How did the man in black enter the heavily guarded Dali Temple, and how did you escape from the Dali Temple?" Guo Xin said.
Wen Taichu's heart skipped a beat.
Guo Xin saw that Zhang Yong didn't answer, Guo Xin said: "Shang Zi escaped from Dali Temple, it's an extra crime!"
Wen Taichu said: "Master Guo, this is clearly a trap set by the enemy!"
"Such an obvious trap, why did Zhang Yong go?!" Guo Xin shouted.
Wen Taichu was stunned.
At this time, Qian Ning handed the lantern to Guo Sheng's side. Guo Sheng picked up the letter paper, the letter paper was white, and the light shone on it with a warm yellow color.
Guo Xin shouted: "What else can I say?!"
"Your Majesty, anyone in this world will plot to use you, except me." Zhang Yongdao, with rare tenderness in his lonely and arrogant eyes.
Zhu Houzhao nodded: "I believe..."
Guo Xin was so angry that he drew out his long sword, and Zhu Houzhao was startled.
Wen Taichu shouted: "Guo Xin, what are you going to do?! How dare you draw your sword in the Golden Palace?!"
Guo Xin: "Since Your Majesty is reluctant, let me get rid of this sycophant!"
The long sword goes straight to Zhang Yong's heart!
Zhu Houzhao stepped off the stage in a hurry and shouted: "Stop him!"
With a sound of "Zheng", the sharp light of the Xiuchun knife flashed, and Guo Xin's sword was thrown away.
Liang Sidao: "General Guo, do you know what it means for you to draw your sword in the Golden Palace today?"
Guo Xin said bitterly: "If I don't kill him today, tomorrow millions of soldiers from Hubei will go straight to the capital to take his life! His not dying is not enough to settle the grievances of soldiers, not enough to comfort the grievances of 20 soldiers! I, Guo Xin, will do that." What about the treacherous ministers of the Qing Dynasty and later generations?!"
Everyone was surprised.
Zhu Houzhao sat down on the steps, his eyes trembling.
Guo Xin held his long sword tightly. He was dressed in stern and lonely armor. The tiger talisman dangled around his waist. The half-tiger head opened its mouth ferociously. The surroundings were silent. Qian Ning was holding a lantern, and from time to time there was the sound of exploding candles, as if implying the next day. In an instant, the situation will change dramatically.
Liang Sixiu's spring knife confronted his long sword.
Qian Ning whispered in Zhu Houzhao's ear: "Your Majesty, the situation is critical now. General Guo has all the troops in his hands. I'm afraid... it's better to temporarily convict Admiral Zhang and rescue him later."
Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment, but saw that Guo Xin was holding a long sword, the face of the sword reflected the splendor of the Golden Luan Hall, but the tip of the sword shone with a piercing cold light.
Zhu Houzhao stood up and said: "Zhang Yong colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, embezzled the army's salary privately, guarded himself and stole himself. This crime is unforgivable. He will be executed in autumn!"
Zhang Yong looked up, his eyes were deep.
Zhu Houzhao glanced away at him and said, "Pull him down, pull him down!"
The little eunuch was also startled by Guo Xin, Zhu Houzhao roared, and immediately reacted, pulling Zhang Yong down.
Seeing Zhang Yong leave, Zhu Houzhao felt relieved, looked at Guo Xin in fear, and said, "Guo, Guo Aiqing, are you satisfied?"
Guo Xin clasped his fists, looked around and said, "Everything I do is for Daming. From now on, history books will be written by literati like you. Whether it is a traitor or a hero, I can't do anything, but I have a clear conscience today, and I have no regrets for Daming! Yu Xiandi!"
Guo Xin left after speaking.
Zhu Houzhao sat down on the dragon chair all at once, paralyzed.Liang Si and others resigned.
At the gate of the palace, Wen Taichu asked: "Master Yang, you saw with your own eyes that Admiral Zhang gave the letter to the spy."
Yang Yiqing's eyes dimmed and he nodded.
Wen Taichu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
In Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao held Qian Ning's hand tightly: "How to save Deqi? How to save him?"
"Your Majesty, we only need to change someone during the execution and transport Admiral Zhang out." Qian Ning said.
Zhu Houzhao let go: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Your Majesty, the slave will arrange this matter." Qian Ning said.
Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Deqi must be transported out safely, without anyone noticing."
In the darkness, Qian Ning's eyes flickered faintly, and his voice was soft: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
-
The next day, Liang Si woke up, but there was no one beside her pillow, so Liang Si sat up and looked into the house.In the outer room, Guo Sheng was dressed in a moon-white dress, his hair was loose behind him, and the bead curtains were shaking, making him soft and beautiful.
Liang Si opened the bead curtain and saw a blank sheet of paper in front of him, which was the letter that Zhang Yong handed him last night.
Liang Si put the clothes on him, sat down on the table, and tied them for him: "I'm still worrying about this matter, Zhang Yong has a perverted personality, and it will be a matter of time before today."
"But he is not meticulous." Guo Sheng said.
Liang Si nodded, it was useless to say anything now, he comforted Guo Sheng and said, "I'll cook some food for you."
-
It's the beginning of autumn, Liang Si brought some watermelons to Beizhen Fusi, everyone is talking about Zhang Yong, Su Shun was put on a long vacation by Liang Si, and just returned to Beizhen Fusi.
Su Shun hesitated for a long time before saying: "Head, Zhang Yongzhen is collaborating with the enemy and traitorous?"
Liang Si paused: "The evidence so far is that His Majesty has finalized the case and is going to execute him in the autumn."
Su Shun said in surprise: "Boss, although I don't like Zhang Yong as a man, I think his intentions for His Majesty are genuine, and he probably won't..."
Liang Si nodded: "Your Majesty has nothing to do with this matter, and don't discuss it in private in the future."
Jin Yiwei nodded.
Liang Si sat in Beizhen Fusi for a while, and said to Su Shun, "I'll go out for a while."
The sky prison does not belong to any department, and is generally used to detain the relatives of the emperor and concubines who have committed crimes.
Zhang Yong was locked in the innermost dungeon. Thirteen chains as thick as wrists were wrapped around his body. He was lying on his back on the bed with his eyes open. Qian Ning stood outside the door and said something. .
After Qian Ning finished speaking, Zhang Yongcai said after a while, "Is this what the Holy One meant?"
Qian Ning smiled and said, "Yes."
Just as Qian Ning turned to leave, Liang Si just came in, and Qian Ning paused.
"Zhang Yong, what happened that day?" Liang Si asked.
Zhang Yong laughed, making people feel a little desolate in the gloomy and gloomy prison.
Zhang Yongdao: "It turned out that you were the first to see me."
Liang Si: "..."
Zhang Yong sat up, and the chains on his body made a dull sound. Immediately, inspectors came to check and left after a while.
Zhang Yongdao: "Their methods are too clever, you must find out who is the spy! Beware of the people around His Majesty."
"Who are you talking about?" Liang Sidao.
Zhang Yong: "I'm not sure, I just feel that there are people from them everywhere, being bewitched and crazy, that weird feeling of dedicating themselves to the White Lotus Sect, that secret worker smiled at me when he committed suicide in front of me, I felt it Something is wrong, but I can't think of who is wrong."
Liang Si: "..."
Zhang Yong raised his eyes and shot out: "I have a doubt that I haven't told anyone. Come here and I'll tell you."
Liang Si stepped forward, Zhang Yong whispered in his ear.
☆、Chapter 65
Liang Si went home with a watermelon in her arms, the watermelon was round and green
After Zhang Yong heard about it, he slapped the rumored soldiers on the [-]th board, but after a few days, the rumors began to spread again, even worse than before, but the soldiers didn't dare to speak in front of Zhang Yong. Almost.
The three of them searched for a few days, and when they found out this result, they couldn't help laughing or crying, but they had no choice but to rush home together, and then helped Liang Si. Liang Si got a bunch of flowers from somewhere, Guo Sheng said. It was pepper, so Liang Si used it to stir-fry, and it was even more fragrant and tasty.
The news of Zhang Yong's defeat came. The rebel army occupied a state and county, guarded by a city, and refused to open the gate. Zhang Yong led an army to attack and broke the gate, but unexpectedly, an ambush was set up in the city——
The portraits of Maitreya Buddha hang high on all sides, and the arrows from the city come suddenly. The arrows carry fire, and the portraits stand in the fire, but they are not burned to the slightest. For some reason, the sound of wooden fishes sounded from all around, and someone was chanting: "Maitreya Buddha is born, King Ming is born. Huangtian will die, heaven will be born, white lotus will descend to earth, and all people will turn around..."
Zhang Yong knew that he was playing tricks and playing tricks, but the army's morale was disturbed and the formation was chaotic, Zhang Yong was unwilling to do so, but Yang Yiqing knew that he should retreat at this time, he immediately grabbed Zhang Yong's arm and led the army to retreat.
In this battle, hundreds of thousands of troops were lost, and all of them were wiped out in the city!
Zhang Yong was furious, and when he came back, he wanted to severely punish the general who retreated before the battle. Yang Yiqing persuaded him, but the other generals had already heard the news, and privately said that the military salary might be stolen by Zhang Yong.
After Zhang Yong heard it, he kicked open the door where the three lived a good life, and saw: cross bridge tofu, chopped pepper fish head, spicy shrimp, Buddha jumping over the wall...
The dishes were so piled up that the table couldn't fit, and the table was covered with animal carcasses and bones.
Wen Taichu said: "Admiral Zhang, come here quickly, there are some more, Master Liang's cooking is really delicious! I really envy Hong Mao now."
Zhang Yong: "..."
Wen Taichu served a bowl of rice, Zhang Yong pushed it away, and said sneeringly: "Did the three adults have a good time playing? Have you forgotten the case?"
Wen Taichu explained: "Admiral Zhang, you misunderstood us, we asked every day, and it turned out..."
Wen Taichu paused.
Zhang Yong's face was extremely ugly: "What's the result?"
Wen Taichu didn't dare to say.
Liang Sidao: "Twenty deputy generals and seven generals in the army, fifteen of them said that you were guarding yourself and stealing. Admiral Zhang, what do you think of this matter? The three of us came to the door to inquire about the case, but you closed the door and refused many times. Let the subordinates answer, what is the answer?"
Zhang Yong smiled coldly: "You have been investigating for so many days? Just found this? I think you should leave."
Zhang Yong flung his arms and left.
Wen Taichu said at a loss: "Admiral Zhang is angry?"
Liang Si nodded, took a piece of tofu and chewed it in his mouth, it was tender and refreshing, Liang Si said: "Let's go for a walk."
Wen Taichu waved his hand.
Liang Si and Guo Sheng walked slowly under the city wall.
"Where is the 5000 taels of silver?" Liang Si looked serious, "Do you think it was Zhang Yong who stole it from himself?"
Guo Sheng shook his head: "Zhang Yong can't do such a stupid thing."
Both Liang Si and Guo Sheng knew Zhang Yong very well, and they had already made up their minds. Liang Si said, "How did the White Lotus Sect transport such a huge amount of money?"
Guo Sheng pondered deeply.
At this time, a voice came: "Maitreya Buddha, you are so merciful, the villain's younger brother and I had no choice but to bump into you, my younger brother is already dead, you must not embarrass him in the ground..."
Liang Si and Guo Sheng walked over.
There was a soldier kneeling on the ground beside the city wall, and there was a brazier in front of him. The ghost paper was burning in the fire, and the flames shone on the soldier's begging face.
Jiang Bin rode over with someone on horseback: "Come here! Take this man down!"
The soldier turned his head quickly, his face pale.
The soldiers were tied up and begged for mercy repeatedly: "General, please forgive me, please forgive me, my brother has already died for the siege!"
Jiang Bindao: "Admiral Zhang expressly ordered that whoever spreads rumors in the army and mentions Maitreya Buddha will be punished immediately!"
The man froze.
Jiang Bin's subordinates dragged the soldier to the corner of the city wall, and with a "shua", drew out the saber at his waist. The cold face of the saber reflected the waning moon.
The soldier trembled all over, and suddenly shouted: "I know who stole the military salary, I know!"
Liang Si and Guo Sheng heard the voice and rushed over: "Wait a minute!"
Jiang Bin bowed his hands to the two adults, and then raised his hand to stop the punishment.
"Who stole the military salary?" Liang Si asked.
"Zhang, Admiral Zhang..."
-
In the court, the flames illuminated the faces. Liang Si had a panoramic view of the expressions of everyone present. Zhang Yong stood in the middle of his pale face. Yang Yiqing was beside him, frowning slightly. The other generals stood on both sides, each with complicated expressions.
Liang Si asked the kneeling soldier: "What evidence do you have to accuse Admiral Zhang of stealing 5000 taels of military pay?"
The soldiers in the next hall trembled, lowered their heads and said, "Villain, villain has no evidence..."
Liang Si: "There is no evidence, how do you determine?"
The soldier said: "Because... because apart from Admiral Zhang, no one else could steal the military pay. On the night of the fifteenth day, Xiao Sa and I changed shifts. I had just finished counting when Admiral Zhang came and said he wanted to see the money... I counted The money was always there, and only Admiral Zhang and the people sent by Admiral Zhang went in..."
Liang Si asked: "Admiral Zhang, is there such a thing?"
Zhang Yong said coldly: "I went there, but the military pay is all there."
Liang Si: "What is Admiral Zhang doing?"
Zhang Yong: "Just to make sure, I saw a mouse, so I sent someone to clean it."
"Admiral Zhang, do you believe what you say?!" General Guo Xin said.
Zhang Yong shot sharp eyes, and looked around the room: "I don't need to explain anything to anyone! If you have this time, it's better to discuss tactics, so that the enemy will not make a big mistake if they make a small plan."
Zhang Yong left after speaking.
All the generals looked ugly and whispered to each other.
"Zhang Yong is too perverse, too contemptuous of others!"
"The military salary was lost in his hands. Why does he look like it has nothing to do with him? He is favored by the Holy One. He has countless jewels. How can we, a general, compare to him? We only count on the money from this reward."
"The army's salary is gone, what's the fight? I don't think he's focused on solving the case at all. The thief is calling for the thief!"
"At the beginning, everyone wanted to arrange people to take turns guarding the military pay, but he refused. The guards belonged to his subordinates, and the military pay was lost from the Shenji Camp. If it wasn't him who stole it, it must be someone from the Shenji Camp! What kind of organization, it all depends on what he wants to do!"
……
Yang Yiqing frowned, and shouted: "Everyone shut up! Now it can't be determined by just one person's mouth!"
The crowd refused to accept: "Even if it's decided, what can we do with him? Zhang Yong is completely hegemonic in the army, don't look at what he means, we generals say they are partial generals, but in fact they are just here to accompany training! "
"That's right, Zhang Yong is too arrogant!"
"Even if it is reported to the Holy Majesty, I am afraid that the Holy Majesty will protect him. He has always been confident in the army!"
……
Yang Yiqing kept a cold face, stopped talking, and took Liang Si and others out. Yang Yiqing sent the soldiers to the dungeon.
Yang Yiqing cupped his hands and said, "I hope the three of you will find out the case as soon as possible! If the case is not cleared up for a day, and the military salary is not recovered for a day, the army's morale will not be united, and this battle will not be won."
The three nodded, and Yang Yiqing sent the three of them out of the mansion, when a scream came from the dungeon just as they were about to leave!
The four hurried over.
Zhang Yong stood in the dungeon, holding a dagger in his hand, blood was dripping from the dagger, his back was facing the four of them.
A bad premonition rose in the hearts of the four of them.
Several partial generals also heard the voice and rushed in.Lying on the ground, the soldier just now and the soldiers who detained him were all lying on the ground, their throats were sealed with a knife, very fast!
Yang Yiqing said: "Admiral Zhang, what happened?"
Guo Xin looked at the corpses on the ground: "Will Admiral Zhang say that these two committed suicide in fear of crime? Or did you want to ambush you, and you had no choice but to kill these two, just because there was no witness?"
Zhang Yong: "That's true. These two people failed to ambush me, and they killed themselves by the knife."
Guo Xin raised his eyebrows angrily: "...!!"
Liang Si asked, "Admiral Zhang, why is he here?"
Zhang Yong clasped his hands behind his back and said arrogantly: "This soldier slandered me, so he is naturally not from my camp. Presumably he has already been bought by thieves. Let me ask him about the whereabouts of his salary."
Guo Xin snorted coldly and said: "Admiral Zhang is really so clear and refined about killing people, so I think about our soldiers and military pay, and this general never knows!"
Another general, Feng Yu, said: "On the first day when the military salary arrived, Admiral Zhang, do you still remember what you said yourself: You said it was only 5000 taels of silver, not enough money for a table in Xianyun Building."
Another general said: "Everyone has heard this sentence. Admiral Zhang doesn't care about the military salary at all, but he only allows his people to guard it. It's not for guarding and stealing, but for what?!"
The general's complaints grew louder.
Zhang Yong frowned.
Yang Yiqing shouted: "Everyone, don't fall for the enemy's tricks! It's not that Admiral Zhang doesn't care about the military salary. He once told me that 5000 taels of silver is too little. Moreover, once the military salary arrives, Admiral Zhang will be in trouble day and night." Sending people to guard, not daring to relax in the slightest, Admiral Zhang treats the soldiers well, everyone can see it."
"His heart towards the soldiers is to defend day and night. He is worried that we will surrender to the enemy? Let's discuss a tactic, saying that our veteran tactics are old-fashioned and don't know how to adapt? He, Admiral Zhang, is rich as an enemy, so naturally he looks down on us on the battlefield. A person who trades his life for money!" General Feng Yu said.
Yang Yiqing bent down and cupped his hands: "Admiral Zhang's character is a bit perverse, but everything he does is for the sake of Daming. If there is any offense, I, Yang Yiqing, am here to make amends for him!"
Zhang Yong's face was as cold as ice.
Guo Xin's face was hard, not unmoved: "It's useless for General Yang to speak for him, we must seek an explanation here today! Seek justice!"
"Yes!" the generals said.
Liang Si checked the wound and said, "These two really committed suicide."
Guo Xin: "Admiral Zhang's martial arts are world-class, it should not be difficult to fake two suicide wounds."
Zhang Yong couldn't bear it anymore, it was like talking to a group of stupid people, and walked out with a wave of his arms: "These two people are not worthy of my killing. If I, Zhang Yong, want to kill these two people, there are thousands of ways to make the gods know nothing." Don’t you realize, why trap yourself here? It’s a waste of effort to explain to you people!”
The generals were enraged: "You——!"
Guo Xin looked ugly, stepped out of the prison door, and held up the tiger amulet: "Where is the Guo family army?!"
Guo Xin used to be a veteran of the late emperor's time. His subordinates, the Guo family army, were brave and fierce. They followed him through life and death for decades, and even the late emperor feared him a little.
Immediately, the Guo family army came over immediately, and the 20 troops surrounded the prison door and responded, as if the earth was shaking.
Yang Yiqing said in shock: "General Guo, what are you doing?!"
Guo Xin: "Mr. Qing's side!"
The author has something to say: open V tomorrow, all three chapters.
Code words are not easy, I often stay up late to earn some mask money, thank you to everyone who reads this novel, thank you for your support!
☆、Chapter 63
Everyone's complexion changed, Zhang Yong's complexion was gloomy, and he clenched his hands tightly. He drank it, and the Shenji Camp would also come, but he fell into the enemy's trick!
The night was vast, only the flames were jumping around, reflecting on Guo Jiajun's knives, as cold as the cold night, the surroundings became quieter than ever before, as quiet as the sound of a weapon colliding could be heard.
Guo Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The late emperor was alive, and the world was prosperous, but in just a few years, rebellions broke out, and the people were in dire straits. It's all because of you sycophants who have slandered by His Majesty's side!"
Guo Xin narrowed his eyes and made up his mind to raise his hand, waiting for a gesture!
The faces of the people changed in shock.
Guo Sheng didn't rush, he took the imperial decree from Liang Si long ago, and said: "I came here according to the decree, and the emperor ordered me to judge Zhang Yong on behalf of the emperor for stealing 5000 taels of military pay, killing people to silence him, and removing Admiral Zhang. The chief admiral of the Shenji Battalion will be escorted to the capital for trial in the near future!"
Guo Xin paused, and looked up at the bright imperial decree. His mutiny was a rebellion!
-
Zhang Yong was imprisoned in the dungeon with his whole body in shackles. He will be escorted back to Beijing for trial tomorrow.
At Haishi, the lights in Liang Si's room were flickering and were still on, with only a little wick left.
Yang Yiqing sat with the three of them, huddled in front of a small table, and there was dinner for tonight at the table, Liang Si simply tidied up.
Yang Yiqing put his hands on his head and frowned: "Although Zhang Yong is arrogant and domineering, his mouth is hard and his heart is soft. It is impossible for him to get the military salary."
"I know." Guo Sheng nodded, "But the situation was critical at the time, so we had to stabilize General Guo first. After returning to Beijing, we were trying to find a way to come back to check for clues. During this time, I will trouble General Yang to pay more attention. The spy did what he wanted. , I'm afraid it will show my feet."
Yang Yiqing nodded.
Liang Si followed suit: "Now the evidence all points to Zhang Yong. The enemy's method is very poor but very effective. If the spy is not found, he will return to the capital. The Holy One is reluctant to deal with him. Guo Xin can't do anything to him, but his theft He will bear the charge of military pay for the rest of his life."
Liang Si continued: "So I still have to ask what happened on the [-]th and [-]th of this month?"
Yang Yiqing thought for a while, and said: "If there is any abnormality, the only abnormality is that there are suddenly a lot of rats in the army. The places where these rats crawled will cause some rashes when they come into contact with human skin. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. It's a big problem, but Admiral Zhang is worried that many people will get skin diseases if the rats crawl to the silver and distribute it to every soldier."
"Rat?" Everyone was puzzled.
-
Zhang Yong was "escorted" to the capital, and the Holy Majesty announced that Liang Si and others had described the case in detail. Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair of the Qianqing Palace and dropped a note bitterly.
The three of them saw that it was a memorial jointly signed by various generals in Hunan: requesting severe punishment of Zhang Yong!After thinking about it, these generals also knew that Guo Sheng was just a stopgap measure, and it would not be a matter of nothing when they arrived in the capital.
Before the three of them arrived in the capital, Zhu Houzhao had already received the memorial.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear it any longer: "These generals are so stupid, how dare they decide what kind of strategy they have? Deqi is too lazy to do these things! If he wants money, I will give him 2 taels. Deqi doesn't care about the money! If Deqi loses a hair in Hunan, I will definitely kill them!"
Liang Si, Guo Sheng, Wen Taichu: "..."
Liang Si: "Your Majesty, this case..."
"This case is definitely not done by Deqi. They haven't been charged with the crime of civil strife before the battle. It's good for them to ask me to punish Deqi severely. If I knew this, I wouldn't give them a tael of silver or a copper coin!"
The three again: "..."
The three of them waited for Zhu Houzhao to swear, and after a while they got tired and lay down on the dragon chair panting.
Liang Si saw the right time and immediately said: "Your Majesty, this case should be closed as soon as possible. I think that although Admiral Zhang has no motive and insufficient evidence, but the morale of the army has been shaken and he has no intention of fighting. At this time, Zhang Yong should be detained to calm the morale of the army. The two adults, Chen and Guo Wen, will also investigate the case as soon as possible."
"What did you say?! You let me take Deqi into custody?!" Zhu Houzhao stood up.
Liang Si said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this is just for the Hunan generals to see. If the army is not united, why fight?"
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand resolutely: "It's just a mob. Could it be that they can't win if they don't receive a moral period?"
Liang Si: "...the minister resigns!"
Guo Sheng's eyes darkened slightly: "The minister will leave!"
Wen Taichu looked at the two of them, and finally said: "The minister also resigns!"
"You, you...!" Zhu Hou stood up angrily.
Zhang Yong was released by the court, and even His Majesty felt sorry for Zhang Yong being wronged and rewarded with many jewels. The news spread to Hunan in a few days. The news came that the army retreated to Henan and it was difficult to defend the city.
The court was in turmoil, and Zhu Houzhao finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He listened to the suggestions of the academicians Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe in a panic, and immediately allocated ten thousand taels of silver to reward the three armies.
The silver was sent, and Zhu Houzhao personally wrote a memorial to encourage the morale of the soldiers, but at this time the morale of the soldiers was low, the morale of the army was scattered, and the army was defeated. Everyone only heard the slogan of the White Lotus Sect, and they were frightened.
Guo Xin wrote a memorial to Zhu Houzhao, stating that for the current plan, only severely punishing Zhang Yong can comfort the army and boost morale!
Zhu Houzhao was afraid that Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe would see the memorial, so he hid the memorial. A few days later, Guo Xinping wrote another memorial in a flat manner, which actually told Zhu Houzhao a story, completely without the anger of the previous memorial. up.
Zhu Houzhao finished reading it in a cloud of fog, completely unaware of what it meant, and threw the memorial casually.
Yang Tinghe happened to see it when he came to the cabinet, and immediately his face changed drastically. He called Li Dongyang and brought this memorial to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Yong are watching a sideshow in the Leopard Room.
Zhang Yong's complexion has deteriorated day by day in the past few days, it is useless for Zhu Houzhao to make him happy.
"Your Majesty, Guo Xin really didn't hand you the memorial?" Zhang Yong asked again with a serious expression.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes flickered: "No, no... just told me a story..."
Zhang Yong: "...?"
Zhu Houzhao: "It is said that there was a man named An Lushan in the Tang Dynasty, and so on, his story is not well written. I read it for a long time, but I didn't read it..."
Zhang Yong's complexion changed abruptly.
At this time, Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe hurried over, and when they looked at Zhang Yong, their eyes sank.
Zhang Yongdao: "The minister resigns."
"Hey..." Zhu Houzhao followed Zhang Yong with his gaze.
Here, Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang knelt down together, and Zhu Houzhao was surprised: "What are you two teachers doing?"
Li Dongyang is a talented student, and he took the memorial and told Zhu Houzhao: This Guo Xin wants to imitate An Lushan. If your majesty does not follow Tang Xuanzong's example in bestowing Yang Yuhuan and Zhang Yong on death, then the emperor of Qing Dynasty will be on his side, and the army will come forward!
And after the Qing emperor of Anlu Mountain, he became the emperor and changed the name of the country to Yan!
This is a metaphor!Your Majesty!
After listening to Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe's analysis in a daze, Zhu Houzhao slumped on the table and said blankly, "Zhen, Zhen..."
Zhu Houzhao hesitated all day. Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang chased him. Zhu Houzhao hid in Jingyang Palace. I fell in love with it at first sight, and it has been years since then.
"Your Majesty, how do you judge that Admiral Zhang didn't steal the 5000 taels of silver? You gave him absolute power, status, and favor. Did you ever think that he would become like Liu Jin in the future?" Yang Tinghe said when he said this. , looking determined.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but startled.
Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang have collected a lot of evidence, one piece of evidence is conclusive, the former Xianyunlou, what he did secretly, cultivating power to form a party for personal gain, etc., he is cultivating power with the power given to him, why?
Why has he never told me these things? !
Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to think——
Did the white and shy person who used to squat in front of him also change?Or, he was never who he imagined?
Zhu Houzhao couldn't figure it out. The crown he had grabbed was crooked. Qian Ning said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that slave got that cat from a foreigner? Angora cats look very docile, but when the owner is not around , his sharp claws will stick out and compete with other cat species for territory."
Zhu Houzhao was so irritable that he walked out with strides.
"Where's Deqi?!" Zhu Houzhao stood in front of Zhang Yong's gate.
The butler rushed over in panic and knelt down: "Admiral, the admiral has gone to Dali Temple..."
"What is he doing there?" Zhu Houzhao frowned.
"It is said that I asked to be taken into custody..."
Zhu Houzhao was startled, but his heart relaxed. After Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, he said to Qian Ning, "Take my handbook to Dali Temple and ask Wen Taichu to take good care of Deqi. If there is anything wrong with him, I will ask him at Dali Temple." !"
Qian Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and he took the handbook.
-
Yang Yiqing wrote a letter to Guo Sheng, in which he said that he had already set a trap and was working carefully, and sent the two men who "suicided" in the hands of Zhang Yong that day to Beizhen Fusi.
Zhang Yong has been in prison for many days. The prison uniform he wears is made of high-quality Hangzhou brocade. The wood he sits and lies on must be agarwood, which is hard to come by. .The chain lock on the door was just for show, it was not locked.
Zhu Houzhao often dressed up as a prince who had committed crimes, and forced Wen Taichu to imprison him. Wen Taichu saw that he was also wearing a prison uniform and locked in a death row with Zhang Yong, and felt that his life was not long.Amitabha, is it okay for these two to fight at home or go home?
On this day, the trap set by Liang Si, Guo Sheng, and Wen Taichu finally began to respond, and Yang Yiqing wrote back: I can't stand the fine work anymore!
The moonlight was bright, and the capital, which had just rained, looked completely new. There were still puddles and puddles of water on the ground, and water dripped from the branches one by one.
Guo Sheng, Liang Si, and Wen Taichu gathered in Beizhen Fusi, waiting for news from Yang Yiqing——
Xi Zuo acted yesterday, and will definitely arrive in the capital tonight, who is behind that? !
☆、Chapter 64
Yang Yiqing, Guo Xin, Jiang Bin and other generals stood under the bridge and saw a man from a distance of several miles. The man was facing away.
Yang Yiqing was startled, he was so familiar with this figure!
On the bridge, the figure was talking to the spies. The spies were kneeling. Zhang Yong took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the spies.
Yang Yiqing frowned.
All the generals rushed forward, Yang Yiqing stared blankly at the figure who turned around: "Rest in the world, stunning in beauty."
The spy said to Zhang Yong: "Maitreya Buddha is born, King Ming is born. Huangtian will die, heaven will be born, white lotus will descend to earth, and all people will turn around! I am willing to follow Zhang Yong and swear allegiance to the death!"
The spy drew out the dagger, wiped his neck and killed himself.
Zhang Yong: "..."
Guo Xin said angrily: "Zhang Yong, what else do you have to say!"
General Feng Yu noticed that the spy was holding a letter in his hand, he pulled out the letter to have a look, and said anxiously: "Let's take a look, all the generals!"
Zhang Yong looked at the words on it and frowned: "This letter was given to me by him!"
Guo Xin sneered, everyone saw clearly at that time!
Guo Xin: "Confront your Majesty!"
The Jinluan Palace in the middle of the night is solemn and solemn, and the four-character plaque of "Jianji Suiyou" hangs high, which is inviolable.Liang Si, Guo Sheng, and Wen Taichu who received the summons stood aside.
"General Yang, tell me everything," Guo Xin said.
Yang Yiqing glanced at Zhang Yong, hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, in many battles with the rebels, our army retreated steadily, and the enemy knew the tactics of our army every time. The minister and several generals suspected that something happened in the army. The spy, after discussion, set up a trap to catch the spy."
Yang Yiqing paused for a moment, the scene just now was really shocking, it was unbelievable!
Seeing the pause, Guo Xin continued: "Your Majesty, the minister and the generals deliberately spread the capital in the army and sent reinforcements to help, flanking back and forth, the spies really couldn't sit still." Guo Xin snorted coldly, "The minister and the generals will follow all the way. When the spy arrived in the capital, he saw Zhang Yong handing him a letter, which said: "There is no reinforcements, don't fall for the trap, take advantage of the victory and pursue, the great cause of Bailian is just around the corner!"
Guo Xin walked quickly to Zhu Houzhao and sat down, handing over the letter with both hands.
Zhu Houzhao took it in a daze, looked at it for a while, and said, "You frame Deqi with your nonsense!"
Guo Xin's complexion darkened, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty, the evidence is convincing, and you still want to cover up such sycophants? Our soldiers went to and fro for the imperial court, and the corpses in Hunan and Hubei were strewn all over the fields, and the corpses were shrouded in horse leather. He was always in the court, relying on His Majesty's favor, he was well-clothed and well-fed, did he think about those soldiers who died in battle?!"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned by the roar.
Guo Xin stood in front of the driver without moving.His eyes were like bell jars, looking at Zhu Houzhao.
Guo Sheng glanced at Guo Xin's hand tightly holding the handle of the saber at his waist, and said, "General Guo, please be safe and don't be impatient. The army is retreating and the casualties are heavy. We don't feel better than you. It's just that collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country is a felony. The Procuratorate has the right to investigate this matter clearly. Mr. Guo doesn’t want to be recorded in the case policy as a hastily settled case, so why don’t you listen to what Zhang Yong said.”
Guo Xin looked over, his eyes were cold, swords and swords were killing people like hemp, like a battlefield, Guo Sheng's expression did not change.
Guo Xin said: "Okay, I want to see how he turns black and white!"
Zhang Yongdao: "I received a letter saying that he knows who is the spy in the army and has the formation plan of the White Lotus Sect. He invited me to meet at Dongyue Bridge in the north of the city."
Guo Xin seemed to have heard the nonsense, and sneered: "The thief shouted and chased the thief!"
Guo Sheng said: "Is the letter still there?"
Zhang Yong took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and Guo Xin said, "It's just a forgery."
Zhang Yong opened it, his face changed slightly.
There are no words on this piece of paper.
Guo Sheng took it over and said, "Please trouble Eunuch Qian to call some eunuchs to take down the lantern from the beam."
Qian Ning nodded and went out to call the eunuch.
Guo Xin said: "Zhang Yong, tell me how you received this letter?"
Zhang Yong: "The letter was thrown into my prison by a man in black."
"How did the man in black enter the heavily guarded Dali Temple, and how did you escape from the Dali Temple?" Guo Xin said.
Wen Taichu's heart skipped a beat.
Guo Xin saw that Zhang Yong didn't answer, Guo Xin said: "Shang Zi escaped from Dali Temple, it's an extra crime!"
Wen Taichu said: "Master Guo, this is clearly a trap set by the enemy!"
"Such an obvious trap, why did Zhang Yong go?!" Guo Xin shouted.
Wen Taichu was stunned.
At this time, Qian Ning handed the lantern to Guo Sheng's side. Guo Sheng picked up the letter paper, the letter paper was white, and the light shone on it with a warm yellow color.
Guo Xin shouted: "What else can I say?!"
"Your Majesty, anyone in this world will plot to use you, except me." Zhang Yongdao, with rare tenderness in his lonely and arrogant eyes.
Zhu Houzhao nodded: "I believe..."
Guo Xin was so angry that he drew out his long sword, and Zhu Houzhao was startled.
Wen Taichu shouted: "Guo Xin, what are you going to do?! How dare you draw your sword in the Golden Palace?!"
Guo Xin: "Since Your Majesty is reluctant, let me get rid of this sycophant!"
The long sword goes straight to Zhang Yong's heart!
Zhu Houzhao stepped off the stage in a hurry and shouted: "Stop him!"
With a sound of "Zheng", the sharp light of the Xiuchun knife flashed, and Guo Xin's sword was thrown away.
Liang Sidao: "General Guo, do you know what it means for you to draw your sword in the Golden Palace today?"
Guo Xin said bitterly: "If I don't kill him today, tomorrow millions of soldiers from Hubei will go straight to the capital to take his life! His not dying is not enough to settle the grievances of soldiers, not enough to comfort the grievances of 20 soldiers! I, Guo Xin, will do that." What about the treacherous ministers of the Qing Dynasty and later generations?!"
Everyone was surprised.
Zhu Houzhao sat down on the steps, his eyes trembling.
Guo Xin held his long sword tightly. He was dressed in stern and lonely armor. The tiger talisman dangled around his waist. The half-tiger head opened its mouth ferociously. The surroundings were silent. Qian Ning was holding a lantern, and from time to time there was the sound of exploding candles, as if implying the next day. In an instant, the situation will change dramatically.
Liang Sixiu's spring knife confronted his long sword.
Qian Ning whispered in Zhu Houzhao's ear: "Your Majesty, the situation is critical now. General Guo has all the troops in his hands. I'm afraid... it's better to temporarily convict Admiral Zhang and rescue him later."
Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment, but saw that Guo Xin was holding a long sword, the face of the sword reflected the splendor of the Golden Luan Hall, but the tip of the sword shone with a piercing cold light.
Zhu Houzhao stood up and said: "Zhang Yong colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, embezzled the army's salary privately, guarded himself and stole himself. This crime is unforgivable. He will be executed in autumn!"
Zhang Yong looked up, his eyes were deep.
Zhu Houzhao glanced away at him and said, "Pull him down, pull him down!"
The little eunuch was also startled by Guo Xin, Zhu Houzhao roared, and immediately reacted, pulling Zhang Yong down.
Seeing Zhang Yong leave, Zhu Houzhao felt relieved, looked at Guo Xin in fear, and said, "Guo, Guo Aiqing, are you satisfied?"
Guo Xin clasped his fists, looked around and said, "Everything I do is for Daming. From now on, history books will be written by literati like you. Whether it is a traitor or a hero, I can't do anything, but I have a clear conscience today, and I have no regrets for Daming! Yu Xiandi!"
Guo Xin left after speaking.
Zhu Houzhao sat down on the dragon chair all at once, paralyzed.Liang Si and others resigned.
At the gate of the palace, Wen Taichu asked: "Master Yang, you saw with your own eyes that Admiral Zhang gave the letter to the spy."
Yang Yiqing's eyes dimmed and he nodded.
Wen Taichu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
In Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao held Qian Ning's hand tightly: "How to save Deqi? How to save him?"
"Your Majesty, we only need to change someone during the execution and transport Admiral Zhang out." Qian Ning said.
Zhu Houzhao let go: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Your Majesty, the slave will arrange this matter." Qian Ning said.
Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Deqi must be transported out safely, without anyone noticing."
In the darkness, Qian Ning's eyes flickered faintly, and his voice was soft: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

The next day, Liang Si woke up, but there was no one beside her pillow, so Liang Si sat up and looked into the house.In the outer room, Guo Sheng was dressed in a moon-white dress, his hair was loose behind him, and the bead curtains were shaking, making him soft and beautiful.
Liang Si opened the bead curtain and saw a blank sheet of paper in front of him, which was the letter that Zhang Yong handed him last night.
Liang Si put the clothes on him, sat down on the table, and tied them for him: "I'm still worrying about this matter, Zhang Yong has a perverted personality, and it will be a matter of time before today."
"But he is not meticulous." Guo Sheng said.
Liang Si nodded, it was useless to say anything now, he comforted Guo Sheng and said, "I'll cook some food for you."
-
It's the beginning of autumn, Liang Si brought some watermelons to Beizhen Fusi, everyone is talking about Zhang Yong, Su Shun was put on a long vacation by Liang Si, and just returned to Beizhen Fusi.
Su Shun hesitated for a long time before saying: "Head, Zhang Yongzhen is collaborating with the enemy and traitorous?"
Liang Si paused: "The evidence so far is that His Majesty has finalized the case and is going to execute him in the autumn."
Su Shun said in surprise: "Boss, although I don't like Zhang Yong as a man, I think his intentions for His Majesty are genuine, and he probably won't..."
Liang Si nodded: "Your Majesty has nothing to do with this matter, and don't discuss it in private in the future."
Jin Yiwei nodded.
Liang Si sat in Beizhen Fusi for a while, and said to Su Shun, "I'll go out for a while."
The sky prison does not belong to any department, and is generally used to detain the relatives of the emperor and concubines who have committed crimes.
Zhang Yong was locked in the innermost dungeon. Thirteen chains as thick as wrists were wrapped around his body. He was lying on his back on the bed with his eyes open. Qian Ning stood outside the door and said something. .
After Qian Ning finished speaking, Zhang Yongcai said after a while, "Is this what the Holy One meant?"
Qian Ning smiled and said, "Yes."
Just as Qian Ning turned to leave, Liang Si just came in, and Qian Ning paused.
"Zhang Yong, what happened that day?" Liang Si asked.
Zhang Yong laughed, making people feel a little desolate in the gloomy and gloomy prison.
Zhang Yongdao: "It turned out that you were the first to see me."
Liang Si: "..."
Zhang Yong sat up, and the chains on his body made a dull sound. Immediately, inspectors came to check and left after a while.
Zhang Yongdao: "Their methods are too clever, you must find out who is the spy! Beware of the people around His Majesty."
"Who are you talking about?" Liang Sidao.
Zhang Yong: "I'm not sure, I just feel that there are people from them everywhere, being bewitched and crazy, that weird feeling of dedicating themselves to the White Lotus Sect, that secret worker smiled at me when he committed suicide in front of me, I felt it Something is wrong, but I can't think of who is wrong."
Liang Si: "..."
Zhang Yong raised his eyes and shot out: "I have a doubt that I haven't told anyone. Come here and I'll tell you."
Liang Si stepped forward, Zhang Yong whispered in his ear.
