Chapter 176 Just and Righteous Jiang Shirong! (seeking subscription)

"咴"

The iron hooves rumbled, trampling the ground, rolling up billows of dust, splashing grass and mud, and being swept up by the entrained air currents, scattered in all directions.

On the vast wilderness, two cavalry teams with bright armor and halberd blades like frost, one east and one west, are like two sharp brushes, drawing iron-like marks on the green carpet, facing each other.

Before the knights could meet each other, among the cavalry in the east, the tall and majestic Heisha Horse King, who looked like a lion, hissed and snorted like thunder.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and it is naturally impossible for two kings of horses to exist in a grassland at the same time.

Sensing a familiar breath wafting from afar, Heisha immediately became frantic.

After a few months, it certainly remembered the young white horse that confronted it in Zhenwuhou Mansion.

Weak and immature, but high-spirited and conceited, unwilling to surrender to it.

Facing its fury and coercion, it still raised its head high.

Ridiculous self-esteem, poor ignorance.

Across the battlefield for more than ten years, the Heisha Horse King is definitely a terrifying existence that makes the enemy frightened.

The enemy chieftains and war horses that died under its iron hooves can't even be remembered clearly, even more than its mane.

A newborn foal, who has the right to question its majesty.

Even at this moment, dare to face its coercion and sharpness, and come directly to hedge?

Where does it come from courage and self-confidence!

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Heisha Horse King. It raised its head and looked forward. Amidst the torrent of steel on the opposite side, a graceful horse with silver armor and jade horse, frost-white as snow, came on the wind.

I haven't seen it for several months. This little white horse seems to have grown a lot. Not only has its skeleton become stronger and stronger, its tall body also has explosive power dormant, and it can explode at an unparalleled speed at any time.

Even on the back of this white horse, which is not yet an adult, there is a pair of armor with the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow engraved on it.

The Nine Nether Flame Sparrow is the royal family emblem of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and only the mounts of the Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Marquis of Merit are eligible to wear it!

"Honored Sparrow Armor!"

Behind the black horse, the iron cavalry clattered.

Running at the end are 350 tall horses wearing silver heavy armor, majestic and domineering, like a tiger coming out of the mountain.

On the horse's back, there are tall figures sitting firmly, also covered with thick silver armor, tiger-shaped helmet, shoulders with sharp claws, and murderous intent hidden.

With bows and arrows hanging from the waist, the long halberd is slanted towards the ground, reflecting the coldness and light.

It is the Nuhuwei, one of the three tigers in Zhenwuhou's mansion, all of whom are powerful warriors of the Juqing realm.

In front of the Nuhuwei, there are two more powerful cavalry running.

Among them, next to the angry tiger guards were a hundred armored soldiers in crimson tiger armor. The armor on their bodies was even thicker, covering their whole bodies, and even their eyes were sealed by a kind of transparent jade.

Each of them carried a huge saber on their backs. The blade was covered by leather, and the edge was faint, but the momentum was stronger.

All of them are martial artists of the Sixth Realm of the Martial Vessel.

At the front of the run, followed by the Heisha horse were more than [-] tall men in common clothes with empty hands and without any weapons.

The blood in his body is as majestic as the sea, but it does not disperse, and all of them are masters of the ten thousand husband realm.

Zhenwuhou Jiang Shirong rode a black horse and galloped across the wilderness. Except for three tiger guards and a burly soldier who looked like a black tower, there were no other figures around him.

The Keqing of Yinwu Pavilion, who had left the Hou's residence together, was not with him, and he did not know where he went.

Sensing the aura rushing from the opposite side, the black tower soldier and the three tiger guards looked up at the same time, and they both saw the meritorious bird armor on the white horse Zhuifeng, and the handsome young man riding on Zhuifeng.

The young man was dressed in white, with a straight back and star-like eyes. He had an ethereal aura like a fairy. His body was not considered strong, but he had an indescribable demeanor.

The purple gold crown on the hair bun and the jade belt flutter in the wind, which makes people dare not underestimate it.

According to the law of the Great Zhou, only princes can wear the crown of purple gold.

Two large flags fluttered in the wind, and holding the flagpoles were two burly generals in heavy armor who were no weaker than the Black Tower Warriors.

Holding a thick flagpole about ten meters high with one hand, galloping the horse, the flagpole stands firmly and does not move at all, showing the strength of the two heavy armored generals.

A large flag is painted with a pattern of stars in the sky, which is vast and boundless, as if there is a cosmic galaxy inside.

On the other flag, the three characters of Zhenjunhou stand out impressively.

After Hou Qi, there were two thousand elite soldiers in armor, with a chilling aura around them.

There are about a hundred of them, riding on majestic deer beasts that are taller than ordinary war horses, running silently, and the eyes are full of essence. The rest of the cavalry followed closely behind the flag.

There are also five heavy-armored generals in the ten thousand husband realm, commanding thousands of elite heavy-armored infantry carrying heavy hammers.

At Jiang Li's side, Shangguan Qingyan and Mo Yunliang, who were powerful in the eighth realm, ran on both sides, guarded by two big monsters, a dog and a deer.

But what caught the eye was the green bull walking slowly behind Jiang Li, and the green-clothed girl on the green bull's back.

Even Zhenwuhou Jiang Shirong couldn't help but take another look.

The two cavalry teams galloped closer and closer, and when they were about to collide, they turned their horses' heads at the same time, and rushed towards the sword-shaped isolated peak where Emperor Jing's palace was located, and drove side by side.

"Jiang Li, you surprised me!"

Jiang Shirong's voice was faint, and he couldn't hear a trace of emotion. He looked forward and knew that among his many famous heirs, none of them could cover up Jiang Li's star brilliance.

The scene of Jiang Li begging to go out of the mansion to worship the sages of the Confucian Temple in the cold night outside the Yinwu Pavilion is still vivid in my memory.

But in less than a year, this concubine has grown into a full-fledged son, and has become a prince who can sit on an equal footing with him in the court.

Military Marquis of Dazhou Town!
Although the strength of Jiang Li's subordinates is still very weak, they have surpassed the background support that many powerful families can provide.

Not only the powerhouse above the eighth realm, the great monster, but also two ghost immortals appeared beside him.

Now sitting in the northwest, with its own territory and army, the future development is unimaginable.

If it is not eliminated, the future will be a serious disaster!
"Liao Zan, Marquis of Wu, Jiang Li is ashamed not to be that!"

Jiang Li smiled lightly, and didn't look at Jiang Shirong. The two most eye-catching princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were under their respective command and galloped to the front of the Gufeng Camp.

"Meet Marquis Wu!"

"Meet the Army"

Countless Da Zhou sergeants in the camp sensed the tense atmosphere and walked out of the camp one after another. The sergeants who were practicing couldn't help but look out.

More than a thousand sergeants who were in charge of guarding the entrance of the camp opened the gate, knelt down on both sides of the road, and let them pass without any inspection.

It wasn't that they were slack and fearful. Throughout the Zhou Dynasty, no one would doubt the loyalty of these two Marquis to Great Zhou.

One person crowns the world in martial arts, ranks among the twelve ministers, a master of Confucianism, and has been loyal to Da Zhou for decades.

The other is a young hero who turned the tide several times and is the greatest contributor to the Northern Expedition so far.

Two teams of cavalry rushed past the gate of the camp. The sergeants kneeling on both sides of the road lowered their heads and looked at the iron hooves that passed in front of them. They were full of emotions.

What an honor, what a prosperity.

It can almost rely on the accumulation of one generation to match or even surpass the heritage of a thousand-year-old family.

It's a pity that the enmity and gap between these two marquises are so strong and tenacious that they cannot be resolved.

Fortunately, also misfortune?
"I really don't know what Marquis Wu thinks. Is it true that the wife of Marquis Zhen Wu is a jealous wife, and she is connived and bullied by Marquis Wu? If Marquis Marquis Zhen and Marquis Wu have no quarrel..."

A general flag couldn't help but secretly raised his head and sighed in a low voice.

"Shut up, you don't want to die!"

The Hundred Household Officer at the side quickly leaned forward, bumped into him, and cursed: "You can say this? Jiang Xuanluo is still under pressure in the prison, you can imagine how Marquis Wu is feeling!"

"Yes Yes!"

Zongqi suddenly woke up, shrank his neck, and quickly covered his mouth, so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

A most unpopular son, he was made a Marquis of the country.

But Jiang Xuanluo, the eldest son, is about to face Ling Chi's torture for committing a felony...

"The miscellaneous family has seen Zhenwuhou and Zhenjunhou, the Holy Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Eunuch Shang Bao and two eunuchs in yellow clothes waited quietly under the isolated peak. When they saw the two teams galloping towards them, they greeted them with a smile on their faces.

"call"

With a soft shout, the two teams stopped at the same time. None of the knights on horseback shook significantly, and they all showed superb horsemanship and strength.

"Eunuch lead the way!"

Jiang Shirong got off his horse, untied his armor, and walked straight to the peak.

"Marquis of the town, please!"

Seeing this, eunuch Shang Bao had no choice but to salute Jiang Li first, then lifted his robe and trotted after Jiang Shirong.

"Qingyan, Huyangu, Yingshan Xiong, Yingshan Xiang, follow me into the palace and meet the Holy One!"

Jiang Li was not in a hurry, he took the whispering magpie from the fox demon Yuntao, and together with Shangguan Qingyan and the others, walked slowly towards the peak.

Beimang has more plains and less mountains, the terrain is gentle, and the wind is stronger than that in the Central Plains.

Going up the steps, the field of vision gradually widens, as if the whole earth is being trampled underfoot.

Although he didn't see many guards guarding him along the way, as soon as Jiang Li stepped on the stone steps, he felt a lot of vigilant eyes and aura locking him.

Even Jiang Li couldn't accurately judge the level of the people behind these auras due to the pressure fluctuations emitted by some auras.

Shangguan Qingyan and the others felt more pressure, and as they got closer to the palace, their expressions gradually became dignified.

As the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Jing ruled the three richest states in the Kyushu world. He was the most powerful person in the world.

Climbing to the top of the peak is a platform of 49 meters in length and width, and the two sides are full of imperial guards in golden armor.

Seeing Jiang Li's appearance, the guards clasped their fists together and saluted, their gazes were reverent and fiery.

The battle on the West Road was over, and Jiang Li's many deeds had already spread to all armies, and he was regarded as a role model by many soldiers, and he was well-known outside.

"My minister, Jiang Shirong, was incompetent in teaching his children. Xuan Luo left his post without permission and acted on his own will, causing the entire army on the West Road to be defeated, which almost affected the overall situation of the Northern Expedition. Your crime is unforgivable. Please punish me!"

When Jiang Li walked into Emperor Jing's palace, Jiang Shirong had already knelt down at His Highness, pleading guilty to Emperor Jing.

On both sides of the main hall, there are dozens of civil and military officials standing in rows.

"Shi Rong, of course you are guilty, and I am also guilty. It is the 30 innocent Da Zhou soldiers who died in battle. If Jiang Li hadn't turned the tide at the last moment, these soldiers who died in battle would have given their lives for the court. But it is doomed, according to the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, family members will be troubled, three generations of descendants will not be able to study and become officials, and the tax and labor will be increased!"

Jinghuang Sima Yi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you have no way to teach your children. You have raised a criminal like Jiang Xuanluo, but you also have a good minister like Jiang Li who is loyal to the country and has a literary and military strategy. Your merits and demerits are equal. You Get up!"

"I obey my orders!"

When Jiang Shirong heard the word Jiang Li, his body visibly shook. He silently nodded and got up slowly, waiting for Emperor Jing's punishment for Jiang Xuanluo.

"Meet Your Majesty"

Jiang Li, Shangguan Qingyan and others also walked into the palace hall at this time to meet the Lord of the Great Zhou.

Jiang Li bowed in salute.

Shangguan Qingyan, Hu Yangu and others knelt down on the ground.

"You are all heroes of the Northern Expedition, there is no need to salute, get up!"

When Emperor Jing saw Jiang Li, he couldn't help but feel better, and a rare and gentle smile appeared on his face that was as cold as ice.

The province was recovered, but after all, more than [-] soldiers died in battle, which was an unbearable loss for Emperor Jing.

Not only the military strength has been greatly reduced, but also a large amount of money and property is required to provide compensation to the families of the soldiers who died in battle.

"Jiang Li, you have made great contributions to the Great Zhou, and you should be rewarded heavily, but the Northern Expedition was a heavy burden, and the families of more than 30 soldiers were in urgent need of compensation. After the Northern Expedition is over, I will compensate you again!"

Jinghuang closed the memorial and rubbed his forehead wearily.

As the head of a country, there are too many things to consider, and it is definitely not the comfort and luxury imagined by ordinary people and ordinary soldiers, doing whatever they want.

"Your Majesty, in order to make up for the crimes committed by Xuan Luo, I have already started to sell all my property and property, and use them as military expenses, and provide pensions to the widows of soldiers. This can be regarded as my part for the imperial court!"

Zhenwuhou Jiang Shirong stood up and spoke proactively.

"That's fine, this is also a wake-up call for other ministers in the imperial court. The cultivation of the heirs of officials and lords is related to the future stability of my Great Zhou. If there are more people like Jiang Xuanluo, I don't know how many people will be added to the Great Zhou." ordeal!"

Jing Huang looked at Shangguan Qingyan, Hu Yangu, Ying Shanxiong and others, and said slowly: "Jiang Li has written about your matter a few days ago, you have contributed to Da Zhou, and you should be rewarded!
"I have ordered someone to draw up an order to call Shangguan Qingyan into the court as an official, confer the title of fifth-rank Ningyuan female general, and remove the status of the Mo family's guest minister. At the same time, I ordered the Mo family to send your brother Shangguan Yingxing to Shengjing safely. You can rest assured Stay in the province!"

"Huyangu, you are the strongest cavalry and archer under the command of the former Qin Dynasty. This time, you have done a great job in pacifying Li Province. From today onwards, I will abolish all the restrictions on Xuanxuan in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are also some survivors of the Xiongyun family, and I have ordered all places to send all the survivors of the Xiongyun family to Li Province!"

"Yingshan Xiang, the five barbarian kingdoms are adjacent to the southern border of the Great Zhou. In the past, there were many frictions, but there was no irresolvable hatred. I have ordered the soldiers on the southern border to support and protect the barbarian tribes you came from. If you solve any problems, you can ask the troops in the southern border for help!"

One after another decree was passed down from King Jing's mouth, and Shangguan Qingyan, Hu Yangu, Ying Shanxiong and others accepted the decree happily.

"Jiang Li, Li Province will be pacified by you, and you also serve as the governor of Anmang Dufu. Do you have any suggestions for Jiang Xuanluo's disposal?"

Emperor Jing gave the order, and looked at Jiang Li with inquiring eyes.

"Jiang Xuanluo violated the military order and left his post without permission. He should be dealt with by the military law. I have no objection!"

Jiang Li shook his head slightly, and said: "Although I am appointed as the governor of Li Province, I have no affiliation with Jiang Xuanluo. Marquis Wu is the Secretary of the Ministry of War and one of the Twelve Ministers. How to deal with Jiang Xuanluo may be more suitable than this minister." Some!"

"Shi Rong, what's your opinion?"

Emperor Jing nodded and looked at Marquis Zhenwu.

"My lord, Jiang Xuanluo's crime is an unforgivable crime. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he should be executed Ling Chi, and the nine clans will be punished!"

Jiang Shirong's fingers shimmered, and an iron coupon engraved with the Nine Nether Flame Sparrow was presented with both hands, and he held it up high.

Jiang Li looked and saw that the iron scroll was shaped like a tile, more than a foot high and three feet long, and the words on the scroll were inlaid with gold, which recorded the titles, official positions, and achievements of Zhenwuhou Jiang Shirong.

At the bottom, there is another line of small characters engraved: "Qingshu, if you die, or commit an ordinary sentence, you will not be punished. Forgive the nine clans..."

"This is Marquis Wu's death-prevention scroll. I remember that it was given by His Majesty himself after he beheaded Tuoba Xiongzai in Tianjian Gorge and rescued His Majesty from the siege of hundreds of thousands of Great Zhou soldiers!"

"Time is fate, Marquis Wu made meritorious service in Beimang back then, but today he wants to use this volume to plead for the crimes committed by his son-in-law!"

"Speaking of which, the reason why Marquis Wu was able to cross the border and kill Tuoba Xiongzai was because of the help of a woman in white..."

"There are rumors that Jiang Li was born of the woman in white, and has the blood of the former Qin family!"

As soon as the death-preventing iron scroll came out, it immediately caused a commotion. Some courtiers in the hall had experienced the battle of Tianjian Gorge, and the past events came to mind again.

"Your Majesty bestowed upon me the Iron Scroll to save me from death, and I will return it to my Majesty today to avoid the punishment of the nine clans of the Jiang family!"

But I heard Jiang Shirong said in a respectful voice: "As for Xuanluo, although I can't bear it, the responsibility for his crime is too great. If he is not severely punished according to the law, neither the minister nor the sage will be able to face the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world!"

When he said this, he took a step forward, clasped his fists in a respectful voice, and said: "My lord, please follow the laws and military laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and impose Ling Chi on Jiang Xuanluo!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the court was shocked.

As a master of Confucianism, Marquis Wu didn't know how much he valued and expected his eldest son in Shengjing?
All the courtiers thought that Jiang Shirong would intercede for his son. Even if Jiang Xuanluo could not escape the death penalty, they could at least ask Emperor Jing to spare Ling Chi's suffering.

Marquis Wu has been loyal to the Great Zhou for many years, and he has made many achievements. It is not incomprehensible for Emperor Jing to break the law and extend favor even if it is against the justice of the people.

Who would have thought that Marquis Wu would be so righteous!
Ashamed, ashamed!
All the courtiers imagined that if they stood in the position of Zhenwuhou Jiang Shirong at this moment, they would definitely not be so decisive!

I thought that he rushed to the wilderness in the starry night to plead for his beloved son, but who would have thought that Marquis Wu was actually seeking justice and justice and the law!
Admiration, admiration!
You really deserve to be Taishan of martial arts of my Great Zhou, the Grandmaster of Neo-Confucianism!
"Shi Rong, you are really the number one loyal minister of my Great Zhou!"

Rao Jinghuang couldn't help being moved at this moment.

The slight displeasure in Jiang Shirong's use of influence to interfere in the military affairs of the Northwest Road was also swept away.

"The minister is the courtier of the Great Zhou first, the minister of the sergeant, and finally the father!"

Jiang Shirong's eyes did not flicker, his face remained unchanged, and he said: "I just beg the Holy Majesty to let me meet with you before executing Xuan Luo. After the punishment is over, I want to take Xuan Luo's body back to the ancestral land for burial!

"As a condition for the exchange, I will lead the Nuhu, Xuehu, and Tianhu guards tonight, and rush to the second royal court at Xingye to remove obstacles for the Donglu and Daluo coalition forces, kill the Dugu patriarch of the Northern Mang royal family, and use his head In exchange for Xuan Luo's corpse!"
