The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 421 Dilemma
The special general snorted coldly and said, "As the head of the palace department, you are leading troops to act without His Majesty's permission at this time. What do you want to do? Is it a pig or a rebellion?"

Specially put this big hat on, if it is really implemented, then it will definitely be enough for Bigen to drink a pot.

At this time, Bi Gen hurriedly said: "I heard that someone falsely preached the imperial decree and harmed Zhongliang, so I rushed over here in a hurry. If this is considered a crime, then I would like to ask you, why did you bring soldiers here? Siege the prime minister's mansion?"

"As I said just now, I am the head of the imperial guards, and I directly obey His Majesty's orders. I don't need to report to you at all if I want to do anything." The special general said to Bigen in a cold voice.

"I still say the same thing, since it is His Majesty's intention, you show me the imperial decree." Bigen said to the general in a tit-for-tat manner.

The special general's matter this time is a secret decree. Naturally, he can't admit it at this time, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "You are not my superior. I have no right to report to you about what I do."

"Heh, it's really a joke. You don't want to spread the imperial decree and kill Zhongliang, but you still want so many people to be buried with you at this time?" Bigen said to the special general.

Hearing what Bigen said, the special general became anxious and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Everything I do, special general, is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth."

When Bigen saw the special general like this, he felt that things were a little strange. At this time, he said: "Since this is the case, then you should show the imperial decree for everyone to see. How did I hear that His Majesty just issued an imperial decree to To arrest the Seventh Prince, you have finished arresting the Seventh Prince at this time, but you came to arrest the Prime Minister immediately after, and you have not returned to the palace during this period, but you still want to say that it is His Majesty's imperial decree, you are not passing on the imperial decree, what is it?"

After saying this, Bigen said immediately: "Brothers of the Royal Forest Army, the special general falsely preached the imperial decree, which is actually harming you? If you follow him and your Majesty blames it, then it will be the punishment of the nine clans." Great crime!"

As soon as Bigen said this, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army below couldn't help but stop their movements. After all, if you think about it this way, what Bigen said actually makes sense, and some people have already begun to discuss it in a low voice up.

"It actually makes sense to say that. We were not rushing to the palace at that time? Didn't we say we were going to arrest the prime minister? Why did we suddenly turn around and arrest the prime minister?" one of the soldiers whispered.

"Who knows? We are the big soldiers. We can do whatever the higher-ups tell us to do. As for the rest, we don't need to think about it." Another soldier whispered at this time.

"You can't say that!" A soldier said: "If it is really the general who falsely preached the imperial decree, His Majesty will blame it. Can we people still have it?"

Having said that, all the soldiers also fell silent, after all, what Bigen said made sense.

Seeing that something was wrong with this situation, the special general said coldly at this moment: "What? Could it be that what the general said doesn't work anymore?"

The personal soldier came to the special general at this time, and said in a low voice: "General, the soldiers below have a lot of opinions on this matter, should you show your majesty's imperial decree to the big guy, so that it can also clear the big guy's heart?" doubts."

The special general gave his own soldiers a cold look, and said in a cold voice, "What? Do you also think that someone is passing the imperial decree?"

The soldier hurriedly shook his head, and said to the special general: "General, I dare not, I am just worried that if this continues, the people below will have different ideas."

The special general naturally understands this truth, but the meaning of this secret decree is that it must be completed, and at the same time, it must not be known to others, otherwise it will be enough to just issue an imperial decree, so why use a secret decree.

So now the special general is also very embarrassed.

"Bigen, don't bewitch the crowd here, it's impossible to achieve the purpose of sowing discord!" The special general took a deep breath, and said to his soldiers: "Brothers, you know what a certain person is, Naturally, it is impossible for me to do such a thing as false preaching of the imperial decree, you just follow the orders, and if something happens, you will have a certain responsibility."

After a pause, the special general went on to say: "But you, Bigen, are you the front secretary of His Majesty, or the front secretary of the prime minister, and you people, you know how serious what you are doing now Without the imperial decree, if you leave your post without authorization, you are the real rebels, who is the sinner, don’t you still know?” the special general said to a group of soldiers in front of the palace.

"All the soldiers in the front of the palace obeyed the order and immediately put down their weapons for me. I will report to His Majesty everything you have done today. I will not hold you accountable at that time, but you must know your way back. ’” the special general said in turn.

The two sides questioned each other back and forth, but they fell into a stalemate. The special general claimed that leaving his post without authorization was a felony, and Bigen claimed that the special general was falsely preaching the imperial decree.

The special general is anxious in his heart. If this stalemate continues, then the next task of killing Wanyan Sagai will be really difficult to complete. On the other hand, Wanyan Sagai is already relieved. After the people from the Dianqian Division arrived, he already knew that he was safe now.

"General Special, you have always claimed that Bigen has no right to ask you to report to him. I wonder if this old man has the qualifications?" At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The special general turned his head to take a look, and found that it was actually Dr. Yushi himself, and Dr. Yushi was in charge of monitoring all officials. Speaking of it this way, he actually had the right to intervene in this matter.

But the special general still couldn't say anything at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "My lord, I'm sorry, the final general only obeys His Majesty's orders, and the final general can only report this matter to His Majesty."

"Hmph, do you really only obey His Majesty's orders, or are you just preaching the imperial decree?" Ben Dao said to the special general: "Your Excellency is the official of the imperial court, the minister of the humerus of my Dajin Kingdom, is it because of your words?" If so, you can arrest people casually? Not to mention you, even His Majesty, at this time, you can't just kill the important officials of the court casually!"

Doctor Yushi is the speech officer in the imperial court, it is like a stone in a latrine, it is smelly and hard, let alone the special general now, even if it is to the emperor, he definitely dares to speak like that.
