Phoenix pattern in a different world

While snickering.

[Beiyechen Palace]

In the outer hall of the Chen Palace, Concubine Chen sat on a high chair in the center of the inner hall, resting her forehead with one hand, waiting for the news from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

This woman, who had always been domineering, was particularly vulnerable and frightened tonight.

Huamei was confessed, so she was naturally anxious.

After all, if there is a slight difference, not only her status as a favorite concubine will be lost, but even the Chen clan will be implicated in vain.

The fragrance of Ningshen incense wafted in the hall, and the candles flickered on and off, elongating her figure, which still looked so weird.

In the inner hall of Chen Palace, the luxury and wealth in the daytime are no longer there.

At this moment, facing such an empty room, Concubine Chen felt a loneliness and panic that she had never felt before.

The emperor hadn't come to her palace for a long time, and even the palace, which was full of people in the past, became extremely deserted.

Her eyes were full of jealousy and unwillingness.

This trick was originally intended to get rid of the person from the Eastern Palace, but now it allowed her to steal everything, and instead caused her to be in a state of panic all day long.

There are only two ways to get to the current field, either kill the thrush, or raise troops to rebel.

But now her eldest brother Chen Pei is still on standby, the far water cannot save the near fire, the situation is really bad.

After a while, the maid who inquired about the news came back hurriedly, then leaned forward and whispered in Concubine Chen's ear.

The expression on Concubine Chen's face gradually calmed down until she revealed a clear smile.

The maidservant who sent the message was soon sent away by her. Concubine Chen held the white jade ring in her hand and looked at the empty hall, her eyes regained the domineering look of the past.

Outside Chen Palace, dense rain hits the sky, and the frost is oppressive.

Another stormy night...

[Xuande Hall]

Early the next morning, Jiang Jue received the news that the maidservant Hua Mei had died of poisoning in prison at midnight last night, and left a letter of confession, stating that the matter was done by one person and had nothing to do with others.

Jiang Jue's eyes were full of fear, the other party came to throw a pawn to save the car, and under his close supervision, there was no one else who could poison the maidservant except Chen Gong.

The situation changed suddenly, even Jiang Jue, who had always been calm, changed his face for a while.

Soon, Ji Kun, the servant of the Ministry of Justice who was suspected of dereliction of duty, was read by Xu Shilang, who was sent by Wang Juenian, in the court hall.

Chen Gong's faction was naturally begging for mercy, but Jiang Jue had already given an oral order to ask Ji Kunding to guarantor that the person would be safe, otherwise he would not have to take the position of Minister of Punishment.

Now that such a cowardly character has always ruined his good deeds at this juncture, Jiang Jue has nowhere to vent his anger, how can he bear it?

Therefore, when the oracle of beheading for public display was read word by word coldly by the person sitting on the seat, Chen Gong and his party all changed their expressions.

How could they not understand the principle of killing chickens to scare monkeys after so many years in court.

There can only be one reason for His Majesty the Emperor to make such a big fuss, that is, Duke Chen has fallen out of favor, and may even become a thorn in the side of today's emperor.

And as Chen Gong's henchmen, what should they do?

With this edict, in the main hall, everyone from Chen Gong's faction stood in terror.

Although the emperor sitting in the high position has always been gentle, but today's gentle face made them tremble with fear.

Chen Gong only pleaded for a while and then fell silent. When he lowered his head, a vicious look flashed in his eyes. Jiang Jue was sitting in a high position, and he didn't seem to see it.

The case of poisoning the dragon's heir came to an end in this way, which was beyond the expectations of too many people.

At the same time, the news quickly reached Li Ran's ears.

How to convince the public

When Li Ran received the news of Ji Kun's beheading, he had already returned to Feng Palace at night, because he went to the Pioneer Camp early in the morning to investigate.

Let's say that Li Ran arrived at the Pioneer Camp, entered the main tent, and saw Shen Ze and Liao Wei discussing matters.

Seeing Li Ran coming, Shen Ze immediately stepped forward and saluted the coach respectfully, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing that the two of them looked strange, Li Ran asked, "What are you discussing?"

When the two of them were asked by him, their brows became more and more entangled.

Liao Wei always said whatever he had, and he was the first to speak: "The deputy commander of the hussar battalion committed a crime. His subordinates originally thought that the commander would not come today, and they are discussing with Shen Canjun how to deal with this person."

The implication is that Li Ran can make a decision on this matter without going through him.

Li Ran was taken aback, thinking to himself that he, the commander of the vanguard battalion appointed by today's emperor himself, has no real power at all?

At least this Lieutenant General Liao didn't buy much from him, even though yesterday's over-the-shoulder fall really shocked him.

Li Ran gave an oh to express his understanding, and then put on an attitude of humbly asking for advice, and asked, "What did he do, can you tell me?"

He is not convinced by everyone now, so it is always necessary to lower his posture.

"This person left the camp without approval last night. Commander Lin informed his subordinates of the matter after learning about it. The subordinates are considering what kind of punishment should be imposed."

After listening, Li Ran nodded and asked, "Do you know why he left the camp?"

When he asked this question, Liao Wei showed a hint of contempt on his face, straightened his body, raised his head, and replied sonorously: "No matter what the reason is, anyone who has a military order is not allowed to leave without authorization." Otherwise, if everyone disregards military discipline so much, how should the subordinates manage the army? The commander is not very familiar with the rules in the army, so this matter can be handled by the subordinates!"

I rely on!

Li Ran greeted each other's eight generations of ancestors in his heart. He had seen domineering ones before, but this was the first time he had seen such blatant and domineering ones.

It's just that if you don't stand up at this time, when will you wait?

Li Ran thought about it for a moment, and then smiled, with a face full of confusion.

Both Liao Wei and Shen Ze looked over with puzzled faces, and Lieutenant General Liao frowned with thick eyebrows, making it look like two leeches on his forehead, with a fierce look on his face.

Li Ran sat on the handsome chair in the middle of the big tent with a face full of peace, and asked with a smile: "Liao Wei, I have a question. I have been wanting to ask you for a long time, but unfortunately I couldn't find the opportunity. Since everyone is free now, you Can you answer me honestly?"

"Commander, please make a long story short, your subordinates have important matters to attend to, so don't delay!"

How did that General Wang put up with his temper?

Li Ran gritted his teeth secretly, with a friendly expression on his face, and said with a smile: "If General Wang was here today, would you say the same thing?"

The other party's brows and eyes were full of smiles, Liao Wei was taken aback by his question, he was silent for a moment, and said: "This subordinate dare not!"

After getting the expected answer, Li Ran was not annoyed, and kept the original smile on his face, even a little more friendly than before, and said, "Very well, since you dare to tell the truth in front of Mao, it can be seen that you are A man."

He spoke halfway, and cast an appreciative glance at the other party, and continued without waiting for the other party to speak, "However, when it comes to military regulations, I have a question."

"Commander, please speak!"

"Well, my question is, since I am the commander-in-chief now, should I have the final say on all matters here?"

Liao Wei's face froze, and he said sullenly: "The army has its own rules, even the commander must abide by them, and they must not violate them! Otherwise, they should be dealt with according to military law!"

"Oh? Where did your military regulations come from?"

"Nature is determined by man?"

"If my guess is correct, the person who sets the rules is General Wang?"

"Exactly!"

"why?"

What kind of shit question is this?

When Li Ran asked such a question, both Shen Ze and Liao Wei were a little stunned, Liao Wei didn't even think about it, and asked directly: "Is the commander asking knowingly?"

Li Ran shook his finger and said, "Why should the rules be determined by General Wang?"

"The general is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and all affairs in the army are decided by him. This is the rule of Bei Ye from all generations!"

"The rules from the past? That's what happened in the past. Since His Majesty has handed over the seal to me, I am your leader now. So, do you obey the seal or General Wang?"

"This……"

Liao Wei was robbed by the opponent, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that the time had come, the pedantic young general immediately saluted Li Ran respectfully, and returned solemnly: "Subordinates will naturally obey the commander's seal!"

"very good!"

Li Ran patted the table heavily, turned to look at Liao Wei, and said, "Since General Shen said so, General Liao should have no reason to object, right?"

Liao Wei nodded. Seeing the reluctance on the other party's face, Li Ran curled his lips with a smile and didn't take it seriously, then turned to Shen Ze and said, "General Shen, inform Commander Lin and the deputy commander who committed the crime to come immediately. Assemble at the school grounds, and just say what I ordered."

"Subordinates take orders!"

Shen Ze saluted Li Ran respectfully, and then went out to handle errands.

Only Li Ran and Liao Wei were left in the tent. Li Ran dropped his aggressive aura, waved his hand kindly, and said, "General Liao, what I said just now was not aimed at you, so don't take it to heart."

"The commander-in-chief holds the commander's seal in his hand, and he can do whatever he wants, and his subordinates have no right to interfere!"

"Liao Wei, what kind of angry words are you talking about!"

Seeing that the other party was still smiling just now, Liao Wei's face darkened in a blink of an eye, and his expression changed so quickly that it was unimaginable.

His mind has always been a one-way road to the end, he doesn't even make a small turn, and he can't guess the other party's mind at all.

No matter how handsome a person is, if he doesn't have the strength at 01:30, he will
