Everyone thought he was dying

Although he got comfort from Ye Yunze, Ji Chen knew that the influence of Hong Shengtao and Mei Fuzhi was far from over.

It was Ji Chen who pressed him in front of the emperor himself, but no matter what, there was a reality that couldn't be erased—these two were Ji Chen's confidantes.

The confidantes in the confidants are thinking of rebelling. Is it possible to say that the master has no such intention at all?

These days, more and more people in the court demanded that Ji Chen be imprisoned and interrogated severely. If Ye Yunze hadn't been forcibly suppressing him, those ministers would have rushed to swallow Ji Chen alive.

"Enough! Ji Aiqing killed his relatives righteously. I haven't rewarded Ji Aiqing yet, but you all jumped out to ask me to punish him. What's the reason? Could it be that Ji Aiqing shouldn't have informed me of this matter in advance?"

"You only care about forming cliques for personal gain, pushing Ji Aiqing out for petty gains, forcing me to deal with loyal ministers and good generals, and chilling the hearts of soldiers at the border! Do you still have right and wrong in your hearts! Do you have a monarch!" The furious Ye Yunze passed the memorial on the table. All swept to the ground.

The ministers below fell to their knees.

Once Ye Yunze wore this big hat, what else could they say?If he persuaded Ye Yunze to deal with Ji Chen again, wouldn't it be in line with what Ye Yunze said, there is no right and wrong, and there is no father at heart?

Although unwilling, they also knew that this matter could only end here.

Ye Yunze glanced at those ministers who looked regretful, and snorted coldly, his anger still lingering.

If he didn't know that Ji Chen wouldn't want this reward, Ye Yunze would be more than happy to send all the treasures of the palace to meet Ji Chen, so that those outside could see what his attitude towards Ji Chen was.

It's a pity, Ye Yunze understood that this time, he really couldn't give Ji Chen anything - Ji Chen was already depressed because of the deaths of Hong Shengtao and Mei Fuzhi, if he gave him another reward, it wouldn't be called a reward, That was poking at Ji Chen's heart.

Ji Chen's quarrel with Hong and Mei was never for the sake of gaining official titles or fame and fortune, he just wanted to protect Ye Yunze.That being the case, how could Ye Yunze tarnish such a friendship?

Unexpectedly, his silence, in the eyes of these people, actually gave rise to other meanings.

Ye Yunze knew that some people had not given up on the matter of defeating Ji Chen because of the support behind them.It seems that he has such a good temper recently that some people started not to take him seriously.Anyway, he has already warned what should be warned, if some people don't understand, he will let them see what it means to be angry with the emperor!

Ye Yunze never thought of letting Ji Chen know about these things.He knew that Ji Chen didn't like power-scheming-intrigue-strife, and he could do what Ji Chen didn't like to do.If it is said that Ji Chen is his spear, fighting for him in the front, he is Ji Chen's shield, who will faithfully guard Ji Chen's rear at any time.

When Ye Yunze tried his best to stop all the pressure in the court, the pressure Ji Chen had to face was no less than that of Ye Yunze.

When Ji Chen came to the barracks stationed outside the capital again, a guard trotted over and said to him: "General, it's not good, someone is making a fuss, that's... really ugly, you have a Mentally prepare."

"Don't be a mother-in-law, take this general to have a look." No need to guess, Ji Chen also knows, it is nothing more than saying that he is greedy for vanity, exchanging the heads of his loyal subordinates for credit, or foolish loyalty, thinking blindly His own "righteousness" disregarded the lives of his brothers in the barracks.

The military camp is no different than the imperial court, Ji Chen has absolute authority in the military camp.If it weren't for this time, Hong Shengtao and Mei Fuzhi, whose prestige was second only to Ji Chen's, would have been compromised. I'm afraid this turmoil would not be aroused.

Ji Chen's eyes turned cold, he wanted to see who was sowing discord!

"It's not me. This time, the general's behavior is really chilling. General Hong and Junshi Mei have been loyal to him, and they have ended up like this. In the future, who will dare to work for the general?" A low-level general with a sense of presence.

Ji Chen's eyes lingered on his face for a while on purpose. This person is ordinary in appearance, and his ability is not outstanding. He belongs to the kind who is easily forgotten when thrown in the crowd.It was only because of good luck that he made several meritorious deeds that he was promoted.

"The emperor has begun to be afraid of the general, but the general is still thinking about the emperor. Don't you have to wait until the moment when Tu Qiongdeng sees the general to understand? I'm afraid, we will all be for the general at that time." Faithfully buried..." A person beside him stood up and echoed.

After hearing what they said, the mood of the people around them was a little low. I don't know if they thought what they said was reasonable, and they had doubts and dissatisfaction with Ji Chen in their hearts, or they were worried about their future fate.

Snapped!There was a crisp sound on the table, and a general of five big and three rough came out, glaring at the two who had spoken just now: "Since you are afraid of death and don't trust the general, what are you doing with the general! You old rats are here!" In the army, it's no wonder that a good barracks has been turned into a mess!"

"What's wrong with the general? The general is right! It was General Hong and Junshi Mei who disregarded the general's dissuasion and acted without authorization, which cost him his life and implicated the general! Could it be that they can make decisions for the general for the general's benefit? How decent would it be if everyone took a look like them and made their own claims under the banner of being good for the general!"

"You, and you, are you all going to be the master of the general in the name of doing what is good for the general? Let me tell you, that's not loyalty, that's calling the subordinates guilty! Since you are loyal to the general, you should only obey the general's order." From! Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone in our barracks have become generals! Isn’t it plausible!”

"My life is given by the general! I will follow the general all my life! The general asked me to be a loyal minister, so I will be a loyal minister. I will never go against the general's wishes!"

His words were like a loud slap in the face, slapping the faces of those whose minds were vacillating, and deep guilt surged in their hearts.

Those who stand here today are all veterans who followed General Ji from the mountain of blood and blood, and there are not many people who have not received General Ji's kindness.They followed General Ji's footsteps and walked out of the darkest period. Now, after being instigated by someone, they began to suspect General Ji!

They are not qualified to question General Ji's merits and demerits. From the beginning to the end, what they chose was to follow General Ji instead of relying on their past affection and merit to point fingers at General Ji. The idea of ​​"forcing General Ji to do something for the good of General Ji" is the most dangerous in itself. Suddenly, the generals began to look at those two people with unkind eyes.

Ji Chen's face softened a little, he no longer hid his whereabouts, and strode out.

The soldiers did not expect him to be here, so they felt a little guilty: "General!"

Without saying a word, Ji Chen drew out a sharp blade and stabbed at one of the two low-ranking generals with lightning speed.His speed has few opponents in the army, and now the person standing opposite him has no defense, and blood is about to splatter on the spot!

But at this moment, Ji Chen's sharp blade deflected, and the sharp edge brushed past the man's ear, half of his black hair was broken.After a successful blow, Ji Chen did not stop, and did the same to another person.In the end, everyone stood still on the spot.

Only then did Ji Chen turn his back to the two of them, put his saber back into its sheath, and withdrew all sharp edges.

"Those who deceive people in the army shall be punished for their crimes." He turned his head and said, "However, you are another master. I will let you cut off your hair and take the place of the leader. From now on, there will be no you in the barracks." These two people, you should be dead! Go back and tell your master, let her take care of herself, the general's patience is limited."

The two were stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "General Ji knows who our master is, how dare he say such treasonous things?"

"It is precisely because I know that I want to remind her not to trample on my bottom line. My patience is not infinite, and I will not let her kill me!" Ji Chen had no intention of saying more to them: "Okay, you two Do you want to leave? If you don’t leave, you will stay here forever today.”

"The general's words today, we will definitely tell the master verbatim!" The two people were obviously very angry, but they did not dare to confront Ji Chen head-on.

When the two left, Ji Chen's eyes were indifferent, without the slightest wave.

If he hadn't been concerned that Empress Dowager Xu was Ye Yunze's biological mother, he would not have turned a blind eye and backed down step by step when he knew that Empress Dowager Xu intended to get involved in the military.He is not a person who is keen on power, and he originally thought that it would not be a bad idea to show his loyalty to Queen Mother Xu in this way.

But now, he understands that there are some things that cannot be compromised.

Recalling the kind and sincere smile of the Queen Mother Xu when he first met her, and thinking about the alienation and calculations now, Ji Chen suddenly understood that there are some people, some things, and they will never go back.

Fortunately, the person he cherished in his palm and on the apex of his heart was always the same as before.

He pulled out the knife and stabbed it fiercely on the arrow target: "This general will never allow anyone to be disrespectful to the emperor. If anyone tries to harm the emperor, he is an enemy of this general! This sentence Remember the words firmly! In the future, if there are people who shake people's hearts, they will be targeted like this!"

This was the first time he had spoken so solemnly in front of the soldiers.He thought that even if he didn't say it, they should understand, but it turned out that he overestimated himself.

So today, he will clearly show his attitude to them!

"General, since you swear to be loyal to the emperor to the death, then we will also swear to protect the emperor to the death!" The people below gradually responded.

Although they have wavered, their admiration and yearning for Ji Chen has never changed.If Ji Chen is a loyal minister, they will be loyal generals. If Ji Chen plots against him, they will follow him into the imperial city.

Ji Chen noticed their thoughts, but he was powerless to correct them.

After Mei Fuzhi and Hong Shengtao, he understood that it was useless to instill in these people the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

In this case, there is nothing wrong with maintaining the status quo and making him the only belief in the entire army.

Anyway, he would never do anything that would hurt Ye Yunze.

Suddenly, I missed Ye Yunze very much.

No matter how tired physically and mentally, as long as he was by Ye Yunze's side, he could find peace.

Once upon a time, the barracks was such a place where he could find peace, but, at some point, this feeling was completely destroyed.
