Violent sword repair teaches you to be a human being

Chapter 15
Liangzhou, the residence of the prefect.

The prefect Wei Ming raised his head and looked in the direction of Yanmen, stroked his beard and sighed: "I heard that the Huns have come to knock on the gate again recently. This is a common thing, but I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy... "

One of his aides comforted him after hearing the words: "There is King Zhenbei guarding the side court, what should the Xiongnu have to fear? The eunuch don't have to worry about it."

Wei Ming shook his head.

He also couldn't tell what he was worried about, but he instinctively felt the sign of the approaching storm.

"King of Zhenbei..." Wei Ming murmured in a low voice. He forcibly swallowed those ominous words, and only ordered: "In Liangzhou City, we should also make some preparations."

The staff responded, "Yes. This subordinate will retire."

"Oh, you go."

……

Therefore, when Mu Xing's confidants came to Liangzhou, they saw such a city with deep ditches, high fortifications and well-organized troops.

On the one hand, he was thankful for the smoothness of the trip—with such an army, it would be easy to wipe out the desperate Zhenbei Army; on the other hand, he thought to himself: There is no war in Liangzhou, but Wei Ming is waiting so hard, it may not be Xiao Chang Jin's henchmen.

How about trying to test Wei Ming first?he thought so.

Wei Ming heard that the emperor sent an envoy to convey the decree, he had already put on his official uniform and waited outside the government office, and immediately greeted the person when he arrived:

"The next official pays homage to the superior officer! I have lost my way, and I hope to forgive my sin!"

"Get up quickly!"

"Thank you sir!"

After some pushing and pulling, Wei Ming bowed and stood on the side of the road with his hands shrunk, vainly leading towards the open door of the government office: "My lord, please."

"Please."

As the confidant walked towards the government office, he said politely to Wei Ming who was behind him: "I have long heard that Wei Taishou is an upright official, well-run in the army, and is a rare loyal minister and good general. Seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation!"

Wei Ming smirked hypocritically: "Your Excellency has praised you too much, but I really don't dare to be an official, I really don't dare to be an official."

"The eunuch doesn't have to be overly modest. Even His Majesty often praises you, saying that you are a rare loyal minister in the court. He also said that it would be great if King Zhenbei and others could be as loyal and honest as the eunuch!"

Wei Ming couldn't help his eyelids twitching.

Is this really what the emperor said?How can there be such a way to pull one and step on the other?Did he say this in private or in public? How many people know?Does King Zhenbei know about this?
Amitabha, don't let others know that the emperor said such nonsense in private.Damn it, King Zhenbei is also someone I can leapfrog to porcelain?

He couldn't help but diverge a little bit, thinking: No wonder I always feel that there is something wrong, the relationship is not something to do with the border, it's something to do with me!Damn, bad luck!

He felt even more unlucky when he heard the man finished reading the imperial decree.

WTF?Take the head of Zhenbei King and kill Zhenbei Army?Are you okay?

Wei Ming couldn't believe what he heard. He snatched the imperial edict and read it word by word to see if there was any trace of alteration;
Then he carefully checked the vermilion seal on the imperial decree, and it was undoubtedly the emperor's jade seal. Then he looked at the texture of the silk lining the imperial decree and the material of the jade shaft, and said in surprise: "It's not forged?"

"Of course not!" The envoy was very dissatisfied with his casual attitude towards the imperial decree, and suppressed his anger, "The eunuch has checked the authenticity of the imperial decree, so it should be clear, right?"

No, I am even more puzzled after confirming that the imperial decree is true!
What is the emperor trying to do?

Even if you want all the birds to hide and the rabbit to die, the rabbit and the bird are not dead yet, it makes no sense!But no normal person would do that!

Or is there some unknown reason behind it?

Wei Ming held the imperial decree like a hot potato, and asked cautiously: "I don't know what Xiao Changjin committed, but His Majesty is so angry?"

Could it be that there is a treacherous villain in the court who framed the King of Zhenbei?
"Xiao Changjin supports his own self-respect and intends to rebel! Wei Taishou, please don't hesitate, you should kill him quickly!"

No no no.Let's not talk about whether King Zhenbei really intends to rebel, even if he really rebelled, my two jujubes are not the opponents of the Zhenbei Army!
What's more, King Zhenbei has no sign of rebellion at all!
Seeing how we have worked together for many years, Wei Ming still defended Xiao Changjin a few words: "My lord, there must be some misunderstanding. The King of Zhenbei is dedicated to guarding the border. He has been fighting against the Huns these days, and he has never Intended to rebel!"

"Your Majesty personally said that Xiao Changjin was plotting rebellion, and you still have to cover it up for him? Prefect Wei, could it be that you are an accomplice of thieves?"

"Hmph!" Wei Ming was also angry, he flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, and said, "Don't dare. I'm just worried that there will be a treacherous villain who will deceive His Majesty, deceive superiors and subordinates, and harm Zhongliang. I dare not work with this person. !"

"You—" The man couldn't hear that Wei Ming was mocking himself, he shouted angrily: "This is His Majesty's imperial decree! You dare to resist the decree!"

Wei Ming has already made up his mind.He was no longer afraid of offending the imperial envoy, so he folded his arms and said slowly: "This matter is very serious, let me ask the imperial envoy in detail before I give the envoy an answer."

"Okay, okay——" Mu Xing's confidant knew that Wei Ming was trying to delay time, so he laughed angrily, and took out a heavy object from his chest:
"Here is the Tiger Talisman! Prefect Wei, whether the soldiers and horses in the city are transferred or not is up to you!"

Wei Ming was startled, looking at the tiger talisman, he seemed to have lost all strength from his body, and lamented, "Oh, Xiao Changjin..."

Looking at the messenger again, he has gone straight to the camp with the tiger talisman in his hand.

Wei Ming had no choice but to pull himself together and follow, hoping that something would happen to interrupt this farce.

As soon as the envoy arrived at the barracks, he gave a straightforward order: "All the troops follow me to the north and kill the traitor Xiao Changjin!"

Wei Ming followed behind panting, and quickly winked at the crowd: You must never agree to this matter, find a way to delay it!

But no one noticed his wink, and the generals in the battalion were stunned by this order.

In the end, it was the top general who was in charge of Liangzhou's garrison and said: "This matter is important, and we need to check the military amulet first."

Naturally, the envoy didn't think that there was any problem with the tiger talisman, so he handed the tiger talisman over proudly.

The general took the tiger talisman, inspected it carefully for a while, and then took out another pair of tiger talismans: "This tiger talisman is fake!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

Wei Ming also took a deep breath: I knew you were clever, but this is too courageous!On weekdays, I really can't see that you are such a winking person!

But now is not the time to worry about this matter, he reacted very quickly, and immediately said to the followers behind him: "Hurry up and take down this thief who falsely preached the imperial decree, and put him in prison, and he will release him after I return to His Majesty!"

The envoy panicked and shouted: "How dare you! Your Majesty handed me this tiger talisman. How can it be fake? It must be that you and Xiao Changjin are colluding with each other and intending to use this as a prevarication! When I return to Beijing, I must be there Your Majesty will expose your true colors in front of you!"

Wei Ming was a little embarrassed when he heard the words.

The general who inspected the tiger talisman sneered, and threw the tiger talisman back to him: "Use a fake tiger talisman to deceive us, and you dare to say so convincingly, then you can just guard your tiger talisman! Wait until your majesty is in front of you, see you!" What else is there to say!"

"Take it off!"

Wei Ming was immediately in awe: Lin Zhiyuan cheated the imperial envoy so confidently, I still have a lot to learn!I usually see this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I didn't expect that he would be good in acting!

"Zhiyuan, your move is really beautiful!"

Lin Zhiyuan was at a loss: "Which move?"

"Hey, that's right, that's the trick!" Why didn't I see it before, you are really good at pretending to be stupid!

Wei Ming patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "What are you doing in front of your own people? You said that the tiger talisman is a fake move, it's really amazing!"

Lin Zhiyuan frowned and looked at him, and said, "That tiger charm is a fake."

"what?"

Lin Zhiyuan emphasized again: "It is indeed a fake. The pattern of the tiger talisman is wrong, and it does not match the tiger talisman in my hand."

"Ah..." Wei Ming was stunned, "I thought..."

He thought that Lin Zhiyuan's dead brain had finally opened up!

Oh shit!Waste of emotion!
Lin Zhiyuan didn't understand what he was stupefied with, and said: "Such a clumsy deception, what is the eunuch so nervous about? After returning to His Majesty, the imperial court will naturally deal with the villain behind the scenes."

No, you don't understand!

Wei Ming scratched his head in pain, and said, "But that imperial decree is indeed true..."

It's probably because the emperor is doing something tricky behind this, but I don't know why there is a problem with the soldier talisman!
Alas, leave this kind of crap to Xiao Changjin's headache!
Thinking of the war in the northern border, Wei Ming sighed worriedly: "Oh, I have to write a letter to King Zhenbei..."
