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 ~www.mtlnovel.com~ 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!"
