Chapter 1789 Secret Meeting, The Wrath of the Emperor!
"You two, come here!"
In an open space to the north of the Xuanjia Army's W-shaped Battalion, more than ten people were with ropes on the cross stakes. Two sergeants stood straight in the middle with spears to guard the prisoners. At this time, a sergeant came here. And greeted the two.
Seeing the sergeant's extraordinary momentum, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, then stepped forward, clasped their fists and said, "What does this brother have to say?"
The sergeant said calmly: "I am General Naiqiu as a guardian. A new batch of ordnance has arrived in the army today and has been sent to Camp B. General Qiu asked you to go and help carry it!"
The two guards hesitated, and one of them spoke high, "But Li Jianjun ordered me to keep the prisoners here and we must not leave! This brother should look for someone else?"
The sergeant frowned, and reprimanded: "Presumptuous! Is General Qiu or Li Canjun in this Xuanjia army? All the soldiers in the battalions are training now. Who else can you find if you don't find them? People are with their hands and feet, can they run away? And it won’t take long to carry ordnance. After you leave, I will help you guard the criminals. If you are on a business trip, just look for me. My name is Tian Cheng!"
Seeing that what this person said was rigorous, and that Qiu Xinggong’s power in the Xuanjia Army was indeed not to be underestimated, the two guards hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay! Our two brothers will go to carry ordnance. Brother Laotian!"
Tian Cheng waved his hand and said, "Go with peace of mind!"
The two left now.
At this moment, not far away from the side of a camp, a person suddenly walked out, Tian Cheng hurriedly greeted him, and said, "General!"
The person here is Qiu Xinggong!
"Yeah! Leave it first! I will ask Zhang Kangnian a few words!"
Qiu Xinggong nodded lightly, and ordered softly.
"Here!"
Tian Cheng turned and left, and went to give Qiu Xinggong a watch!
Zhang Kangnian and others have been tied here since they were caught last night. From last night to now, they have not drunk a sip of water, nor have they eaten a grain of rice. In addition, the ropes have prevented their blood from flowing smoothly in their bodies. Circulation, at this moment, they have almost fallen into a groggy state!
This is only early in the morning, the sun is not solid, and when the sun reaches the top of their heads in the middle of noon, they are afraid that they will pass out due to the heat and lack of water!
In fact, this is almost regarded as a common practice in the military. Generally, people who are about to be executed will go through this before they are sentenced. This is not to abuse the prisoner, but to help the prisoner!
Yes, you heard it right! This is to help the prisoner!
The prisoners on death row in the Dali Temple or the Penal Department’s cell were served with good wine and good vegetables before they were sentenced. Good food is not important, but good wine is important. After the prisoner drank alcohol, he was paralyzed by alcohol and when he was beheaded. , The pain of the prisoner will be much reduced, and the prisoner will naturally have less grievances after death (Of course, these are feudal superstitions, but who convinced the ancients to believe this. The death row prisoners in ancient times generally executed at three o'clock in the afternoon. , Also because three quarters noon is the heaviest yang energy of the day)!
The prisons of the government can drink alcohol to death row prisoners, but the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, ruled the army strictly. Drinking was prohibited in the army, and offenders were killed directly without pardon. Therefore, for sergeants sentenced to death in the army, there was definitely no alcohol. They drank it, so what should I do? It's roughly like what Zhang Kangnian is now. They are left to dry, basked, no food, no water to drink, so that they will enter a groggy state before cutting their heads. When they are cutting their heads, they will not be so painful. !
"Look up!"
At this time, Qiu Xinggong walked in front of Zhang Kangnian and shouted in a low voice.
Because there is still a distance between the prisoner and the prisoner, plus the fact that Zhang Kangnian, Bai Shanhai and others are half-asleep and half-awake at this time without sleeping and dripping water, Qiu Xinggong deliberately lowered his voice. I don't want the conversation between him and Zhang Kangnian to be heard by other criminals!
Hearing Qiu Xinggong's voice, Zhang Kangnian, who was dizzy and drowsy, suddenly shook his body. He quickly raised his head, opened his eyes, and looked at Qiu Xinggong and said: "General save me! General save me! Subordinates don't want to die... !"
But this guy's voice was a little loud, and Qiu Xinggong quickly covered his mouth.
"Keep it down!"
Qiu Xinggong glanced around and saw that the other prisoners were still holding their heads motionless. Only then did he remove his hand from Zhang Kangnian’s mouth. He asked in a low voice,
I’m going to ask you, did Li Zexuan treat you? Severe torture to extract a confession?"
Zhang Kangnian lowered his voice and replied: "Back to the general, Li Canjun did not wait for me to torture a confession. We have been tied here since we were arrested last night. Neither Li Canjun nor the general have ever come!"
Hearing this, Qiu Xinggong felt a little peaceful, and he asked: "What happened last night? Didn't you say that your plan was foolproof? How could you be caught by Li Zexuan and General Duan?"
"This subordinate does not know! Last night Ding Dali and others were about to be persuaded by subordinates to succeed, but Li Canjun and the general suddenly walked out of the pyre outside the room. They seemed to be hiding before their subordinates arrived. Inside the pyre, so the words that the subordinates said to Ding Dali and the others naturally fell into the general's ears!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Kangnian hasn't really figured it out until now. In his tone, it is inevitable that there is some doubt.
"Idiot! So, Li Zexuan and General Duan are likely to know your plan of action in advance, so they will ambush in the house in advance!"
After listening to Zhang Kangnian's words, Qiu Xinggong couldn't help but yelled at him. At the end, he hurriedly asked: "Then what shouldn't you say in your conversation with Ding Dali last night?"
What shouldn't be said, naturally refers to exposing his identity!
Zhang Kangnian hurriedly shook his head and said: "The general rest assured, his subordinates have never revealed the slightest news about you, because they know that the general will save me!"
Hearing this, Qiu Xinggong was completely relieved. He straightened his body and stood with his hands in his hands. He said indifferently: "Kang Nian, the general's heart has been decided, and he has entered the palace to declare to the Holy Spirit the crime you committed. , I’m afraid I can’t save you this time! But you can rest assured that the wife and children in your family will take care of them for you, so that they will have a good life!"
Although he was prepared, Zhang Kangnian couldn't help feeling desperate when he heard Qiu Xinggong say this at this moment. After a while, he sorted out his emotions and said to Qiu Xing respectfully: "Thank you, General! You are!"
"Yeah! Go with confidence!"
Qiu Xinggong patted Zhang Kangnian on the shoulder, then turned around and walked away.
…………………………………………
When Duan Zhixuan arrived at the palace, he was informed by the that Li Er was still in the early court, so he was taken into the side hall to wait.
What happened in the Xuanjia Army camp last night is ultimately a "family affair" belonging to the Xuanjia Army. As the saying goes, family ugliness cannot be publicized. Duan Zhixuan doesn't want to talk about what happened last night in front of the civil and military officials!
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, an attendant walked in and said to Duan Zhixuan: "General Duan, the dynasty is over, Your Majesty is calling you to see you in the Ganlu Hall!"
"Okay! Father-in-law!"
Duan Zhixuan said politely.
"General Duan is polite, please come with us!"
The servant bowed and made a please gesture, then turned and led the way. After a while, Duan Zhixuan came to Ganlu Temple.
"Old minister, see your majesty!"
Duan Zhixuan bowed and saluted Li Er.
"Free gift!"
Li Er waved his hand, and then took a sip of tea. After all, he had not had time to take a sip of the water this morning. After the tea was poured into his stomach, Li Er curiously said: "Duan Aiqing is in such a hurry to see me today. Why?"
Seeing that apart from Li Er, there is only Zhao Song in the hall, and Duan Zhixuan no longer hides it, saying bluntly: "Return to your Majesty, in the Xuanjia Army last night, Zhang Kangnian, a lieutenant of the C-character battalion, led the soldiers to instigate mutiny. Discover it in time, and it won't cause catastrophe!"
"What? Someone incited the soldiers to mutiny?"
Hearing this, Old Li was not calm. You must know that the Xuanjia Army was his "ace" army. Back then, the Xuanjia Army followed him in the North and South wars and made great contributions. It can be said that Li Yuan was able to sweep the world back then. This Xuanjia army under Li's second hand definitely played a vital role! Therefore, a few months ago, Li Er spent huge sums of money (although most of the money came from Li Zexuan) to expand the Xuanjia Army, precisely because he had great expectations for the Xuanjia Army. Now that Duan Zhixuan heard that someone in the Xuan Jia Army wanted to make a mutiny, how could he bear it?
"Where is this Kang Nian now? Does he have other accomplices?"
Li Er’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. If Zhang Kangnian instigated the successful mutiny of the soldiers, then the Xuanjia Army would become a joke for the people of the world, and all his previous efforts to expand the Xuanjia Army would also be in vain. The purpose of the Xuanjia Army is to conquer the Turks, and once a mutiny occurs in the Xuanjia Army, it will greatly affect the training progress. How will a newly expanded and undertrained Xuanjia Army go to the court two months later Fighting the "vanguard" in the Turkic?
Therefore, at this moment, Li Er really wanted to take the culprit who instigated the mutiny of the soldiers alive!
"His Majesty, Zhang Kangnian conspired to make a mutiny last night. The old minister and Li Canjun arrested him. Now Zhang Kangnian and his party eleven people have been taken down by the old officials, and the old officials have ordered that they will be in Xuanjia at three noon today. Slash at the gate!"
Duan Zhixuan bowed.
"Okay! It's time to kill! Duan Aiqing cut it well!"
Hearing that, Li Erpai came to the scene and said loudly: "The national war is about to come, but these people are so ignorant of the severity and want to cause chaos within the Xuanjia Army. They really deserve to die! It's just this Kang Nian why he instigated the soldiers to mutiny for no reason? Is there someone else instructing him behind this? Duan Aiqing, can you find out why?"
With that said, Li Er suddenly realized that something was wrong, and asked.
There is no unprovoked love or unprovoked hatred in this world. Zhang Kangnian suddenly jumped out. There must be a cause. This is the intuition of an emperor and the intuition of a person who has come from a court coup!
"Returning to your Majesty, Zhang Kangnian insisted that this matter was all planned by him alone, and no one behind him! As for why he instigated the soldiers to mutiny, the old minister believed that he should be directed at Li Junjun's new training code. Coming!"
Duan Zhixuan thought for a while and replied.
"Oh? This matter is still related to Li Zexuan?"
Hearing this, Li Er was suddenly puzzled. After all, he had not received any relevant information about this matter before, so he said to Duan Zhixuan: "Duan Aiqing, please tell me the causes and consequences of this matter in detail!"
"Old ministers follow the order!"
Duan Zhixuan hesitated and began to preach: "Last night when he was near his son, the old minister had already fallen asleep, but Li Canjun suddenly asked for a meeting outside the old man's account, saying that there was something very important..."
In fact, Duan Zhixuan entered the palace this time. He just wanted to talk to Li Er briefly about what happened to the Xuanjia Army last night and request Li Er to let Li Zexuan formally serve as a lieutenant of the C-type camp. For the rest of the details, Duan Zhixuan did not intend to talk to Li Erxi. Said, because according to the conversation between Zhang Kangnian and Ding Dali and others last night, Li Erhui can easily think that this matter is related to Qiu Xinggong. He is not going to protect Qiu Xinggong to death, but that the Xuanjia army now has no ensign. , If Qiu Xinggong had another accident, then the Xuan Jia army would be completely messed up!
After all, Qiu Xinggong has been in the Xuanjia Army for many years, and there are not a few generals in the Xuanjia Army who support him. It is very inappropriate to move Qiu Xinggong at this time!
But now that Li Er clearly told him and asked him to tell the details of last night's events, he had to tell all the events of last night one to one!
In the entire Tang Dynasty, Duan Zhixuan is definitely one of the people who are absolutely loyal to Li Er, otherwise Li Er would not let him be in charge of the Xuan Jia army for so many years! Therefore, Duan Zhixuan absolutely obeyed Li Er's order, and he would not conceal it!
"...Zhang Kangnian Fu Zhu, the C-character battalion must not have no commander, so the old minister made his own suggestion and let Li Canjun temporarily replace the C-character battalion lieutenant. When your majesty, you have a more suitable candidate, Li Canjun will withdraw from the position of lieutenant. !"
After more than a quarter of an hour, Duan Zhixuan recounted what he saw with his own eyes, heard with his ears, and the news he heard from Li Zexuan last night.
After hearing this, Li Er wrung his eyebrows and was silent, because from Duan Zhixuan's narrative, there was still one person hiding among them, and that was Qiu Xinggong! Because when Zhang Kangnian bewitched Ding to make a great mutiny, he mentioned many times that once the incident happened, Qiu Xinggong would intercede for them! From this point of view, the matter must have nothing to do with Qiu Xinggong!
After a long while, Li Er said: "Duan Aiqing, you did a good job of this! Li Shenjun has both ability and political integrity. Only a few days after joining the Xuanjia Army, he trained the lieutenant of the camp in an orderly manner and asked him to concurrently serve as the C-type camp. The school lieutenant, it is very appropriate. Later, I will let someone make a decree and formally appoint him as the C-shaped battalion school lieutenant!"
Duan Zhixuan arched his hands and said: "The old official thanked your Majesty for Li's participation in the army!"
"Ok!"
Li Er nodded ~EbookFREE.me~ After indulging for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "After you return to camp, tell my will, Zhang Kangnian and others plot a mutiny. The crime is not to be blamed, but the Xuanjia Army General Qiu Respectful, lax control, the crime of oversight, let him get thirty sticks to show punishment!"
Even if there is no evidence of Qiu Xinggong's involvement, so what? Does he need evidence if Li Er wants to punish? Thirty army sticks, the right should be his warning to Qiu Xinggong!
"This... the old official follows the order!"
Duan Zhixuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and after reacting, he quickly bowed his hands.
"Well, you can withdraw!"
Li Er waved his hand and said.
"The old minister retire!"
