Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 124 Want them to die!

So everyone focused their attention on Shi Jing. To be honest, everyone was somewhat repulsed by this son-in-law captain.

For no other reason, the Princess Shunde favored by Shi Jing was born of the Hu family after the abolition, so he was not welcomed by the one in the Palace of Compassion and Ning before.

Naturally, there is no status among the relatives.

Now that the Son of Heaven is in use, although he has ascended to a high position suddenly, there are of course some barriers between getting along with them, the veteran relatives who were originally at the core of the relatives.

Shi Jing said: "A few days ago, I was talking with Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and I accidentally learned something. At the beginning, when I elected the admiral of the Beijing camp, he originally intended to be the official Shi Heng, but in the end, he was rejected by the emperor. ..."

At this time, Zhao Rong also remembered, and said.

"That's right, that's true."

When he was in Jiyi Hall before, he, Li Xian and others were present, and among the three candidates nominated by the Ministry of War, the leader was indeed Shi Heng.

So Shi Jing continued: "Yes, this is the custom of the court. Although the Beijing camp was finally handed over to Yu Shangshu, but before that, Shi Heng was put at the end in the memorandum approved by the emperor to the Ministry of War."

Zhao Rong and others didn't know this, after all, Zhu Qiyu didn't mention this matter in Jiyi Hall that day, but in the official court push, Yu Qian still put Shi Heng first.

Hearing Shi Jing say this now, Zhao Rong said somewhat uncertainly.

"You mean, the Son of Heaven is because of Shi Heng?"

"This kind of thing makes sense. I remember that Shi Heng and Sun Tong had a very good friendship before, but I have never heard of it. What kind of grievances do Tianzi have with Shi Heng, and they can even get involved? Those who have a good relationship are all rejected by the emperor?"

Shi Jing shook his head, and said: "I'm just guessing, the Son of Heaven has always trusted Shangshu, and the memorials he handed over are basically not inaccurate, but only that time, the Son of Heaven refuted his meaning."

"Obviously, even if the capital camp was not handed over to Shangshu in the end, the emperor didn't want to hand it over to Shi Heng, so I always feel that it is not simple behind this matter."

Seeing everyone's tangled look, Chen Mao pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and said.

"Yes or no, you can tell once you try it. The old man remembers that there are many people who are close to Shi Heng, and there are many in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies? Is there another person named Wei Ying who is also an old friend of Shi Heng?"

Guo Sheng nodded. He is now in charge of the Chinese Military Commander's Mansion. Whether it is Wei Ying or Sun Tong, they are all under his command.

So Chen Mao said: "Since this is the case, tomorrow you recommend Wei Ying to be in charge of training in the Beijing camp. If the emperor is really because of Shi Heng, he will definitely refute it, and we will see the result at that time."

Guo Sheng had a bitter face, how could such offending people always fall on him?

If this is true, then he who recommended Wei Ying will not be secretly marked in the heart of the emperor. If he is also labeled as "friending" with Shi Heng, it will be a big loss.

However, Old Master Chen opened his mouth, and he didn't have the guts to refuse, so he had to say yes.

…………

The next day.

After the morning court, Zhu Qiyu returned to the Qianqing Palace and processed the memorial as usual. A copy of the memorial from Guo Sheng, Marquis of Cheng'an, fell in front of his eyes.

"Wei Ying..."

Seeing this name, Zhu Qiyu was also in a daze. Of course, he also remembered this person, Shi Heng's best friend, one of the ministers who restored Nangong.

What makes him interesting is that yesterday he just rejected Chen Mao and recommended Sun Tong, and today Cheng'an Hou Guo Sheng recommended Wei Ying.

It seems that the noses of these relatives are not ordinary spirits!

After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu raised his hand to call Cheng Jing over, and said.

"You go to the cabinet to announce the decree, and say that the Zijing Pass came to report the day before yesterday, and the defense is empty. Please add troops to guard."

"Now the governor is ordered to serve Wei Ying, the official Shi Heng, and the governor to serve Sun Tong, each with a thousand elite soldiers."

"Go to Aries, Bauhinia, and Daoma Sanguan, obey the command of the guard, coordinate the defense, and set off immediately."

Cheng Jing didn't doubt that he was there, so he went to the cabinet to announce the edict after receiving his order.

But just two steps away, Zhu Qiyu seemed to remember something again, and called Cheng Jing back again, saying.

"By the way, add a few words to the end of the edict."

"Firstly, Shi Heng was the governor and acquaintance. Zuo Xining Hou Song Ying, Wu Jinbo Zhu Mian and Wala fought in Yanghe. Song and Zhu, as the main generals, died in battle. Shi Heng, as the deputy general, fled back. Capital."

"This time the imperial court is lenient. If you lead the troops to fight again, you should fight the enemy bravely and take the lead. If you retreat again, you will definitely be executed."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Cheng Jing's leaving figure, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He was so busy these days that he forgot about these people.

Don't they want to share the country's worries?

Then go to the front!
All in all, a few of them still have strength.

To be able to kill a few more captives on the battlefield for Daming is also considered loyal.

…………

On the other side, Chen Mao and others got the news as soon as the edict was released from the cabinet and before leaving the Sixth Division.

Fengcheng Hou Mansion.

The several honorable relatives looked at each other, holding the transcribed edict slips in their hands, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

After a while, Zhao Rong asked, "Hou Chen, what does the emperor mean by this..."

They thought that the emperor would reject Guo Sheng's memorial at most, but they didn't expect that they would become expatriates.

Speaking of expats, that's also very strange.

Not to mention Sun Tong and Wei Ying, the two of them are notable figures in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, even if they are going to lead the army outside, at worst they should be a deputy commander in chief.

But now, the imperial edict specified that they should obey the command of the guard and coordinate the defense.

This means that letting them lead troops to fight instead of guarding in the city is equivalent to an ordinary general.

As for Shi Heng, it was even more incomprehensible.

Previously, Shi Heng was defeated in the First World War because of Yanghe, and the main general died in the battle, but he fled back to the capital and was demoted as an official.

Let him lead the army again, which is barely a recovery.

However, the following words were harshly worded, which really made it difficult for people to understand what the emperor meant.

After hearing Zhao Rong's question, Chen Mao snorted coldly and said.

"What do you mean, let them die! The emperor's attitude is very clear. If anyone in your mansions has anything to do with Shi Heng, you should deal with it as soon as possible..."

After finishing speaking, Old Hou Ye got up and left, leaving the rest of the people looking at each other in blank dismay, at a loss for what to do.

In fact, when Chen Mao saw this edict, he understood it.

The emperor wants them to die!

Because it was a confidential matter, Chen Mao did not tell Zhao Rong how many of them were there last night. He and the emperor discussed in the Hall of Martial Heroes the advanced route.

A few key points are the three passes of Aries, Bauhinia, and Daoma. It can be said that as long as one attacks from the Yanghe route, these three passes must be passed.

At that time, everyone made the worst plan, that is, the three passes will be lost, and the troops will come to the capital first.

This is also the biggest reason why Yu Qian insisted on refusing to use the Beijing army to go out.

At this time, the emperor sent a few of them to the three passes to coordinate the defense, and specified that they were to lead the troops to fight, not to command in the city.

Its meaning is naturally obvious!

What's more, there is also the edict dedicated to Shi Heng.

If you look at it alone, the edict may only be worded harshly, expressing a warning.

But when it came to the inside story of Sanguan, Old Hou Ye immediately grasped the key point.

"... Be the first to lead the way, if you try to back down again, you will definitely be killed..."

Whether these three passes will eventually fall, Chen Mao dare not say.

But it is certain that once the war breaks out at that time, the battle situation in these three passes will inevitably be extremely tragic.

The emperor's words were not a warning, but a real threat.

In other words, Shi Heng had only two choices.

Or... die in battle!
Or... cut to death!
