Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1779: Secret meeting, the wrath of the emperor!

Chapter 1789 The secret meeting, the emperor's fury!

"You two, come here!"

In an open space north of the Xuanjia Army's W-shaped Camp, more than ten people were **** with ropes on the cross wooden stakes. Two sergeants stood straight in the middle with their spears to guard the prisoners. At this time, a sergeant turned towards here. He walked over and greeted the two.

When the two saw that the sergeant was so handsome, they 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 indifferently: "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 Yau has asked you to go and help carry it!"

The two guards showed hesitation, and one of them opened up tall and said: "But Li Jianjun ordered me to stay here to guard the prisoners 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 it? , These people have their hands and feet tied up, can they still run? And it won’t take long to carry ordnance. After you leave, I will help you guard the prisoners. If you are on a business trip, just look for me. My name is Tian. Yes!"

Seeing this person’s words are rigorous, and that Qiu Xinggong’s power in the Xuanjia Army is indeed not to be underestimated, the two guards hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay! Our two brothers will go to carry the ordnance. , Here is 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 saluted: "General!"

The person here is Qiu Xinggong!

"Well! You should withdraw first! I will ask Zhang Kangnian a few words!"

Qiu Xinggong nodded lightly, and ordered softly.

"Here!"

Tian Cheng turned around and left, to give Qiu Xinggong a watch!

Zhang Kangnian and others have been tied here since they were arrested last night. From last night to now, they have not drunk a sip of water, nor have they eaten a grain of rice, and the ropes have prevented them from having blood Circulating smoothly in the body, at this moment, they have almost fallen into a groggy state!

This is only early in the morning, and the sun is not solid. When the sun is approaching 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!

Actually, this is almost a common practice in the military. Generally, people who are about to be executed will go through such a encounter 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 are served with good wine and good vegetables before they are sentenced. Good food is not important. The important thing is good wine. After the prisoner drank the wine, under the paralysis of alcohol, he chopped At the beginning, the prisoner’s pain will be reduced a lot, and the prisoner will naturally lose a lot of grievances after death (Of course, these are feudal superstitions, but who convinced the ancients to believe this. The death row prisoners in ancient times are generally at noon The execution of three quarters is also because the three quarters noon is the heaviest yang energy of the day)!

Alcohol can be given to prisoners sentenced to death in the official cell, but the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, ruled the army very strictly. Drinking was prohibited in the army, and offenders were killed directly without pardon, so for the sergeants sentenced to death in the army, it is affirmative What if there is no wine for them to drink? It's roughly like Zhang Kangnian is doing 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, and when they are cutting their heads, they will not be so painful. !

"Hold your head up!"

At this moment, Qiu Xinggong walked up to Zhang Kangnian and shouted in a low voice.

Because there is still a certain distance between the prisoner and the prisoner, plus the fact that Zhang Kangnian, Bai Shanhai and others are half asleep and half awake, Qiu Xinggong deliberately lowered their voices. , Just don't want his conversation with Zhang Kangnian to be heard by other criminals!

The dizzy Zhang Kangnian, heard Qiu Xinggong's voice, and his body was shocked. He quickly raised his head, opened his eyes, and looked at Qiu Xinggong and said: "The general save me! The general save me! The subordinates don't want to die... …Umh!"

But this guy's voice was a bit loud, and Qiu Xinggong quickly covered his mouth.

"Speak down!"

Qiu Xinggong glanced around and saw that the other prisoners were still holding their heads motionless. Then he removed his hands from Zhang Kangnian’s mouth. He asked in a low voice, “I’m going to ask you, Li Zexuan has Didn't you be tortured 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 been here!"

After hearing this, Qiu Xinggong felt a little peace of mind, and he asked again: "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 doesn't know it! Last night Ding Dali and others were about to be persuaded by their subordinates to succeed, but Li Canjun and the general suddenly walked out of the pyre outside the room. They seemed to be before the subordinates arrived. He was hiding in the pyre, so the words that his subordinates said to Ding Dali and others naturally fell into the general’s ears!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Kangnian hasn't actually figured it out until now. In his tone, it is inevitable that there is some doubt.

"Fool! 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 you shouldn't 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: "Don't worry, the general, his subordinates have never revealed any news about you, because they know that the general will save me!"

On hearing this, Qiu Xinggong was completely relieved. He straightened his body, stood with his hands behind, and said indifferently: "Kang Nian, the general has made his mind, and has entered the palace to tell the Lord what you are. For the crimes committed, this old man may not be able to save you! But you can rest assured, your wife and children, old and young, will take care of them for you, so that they will have a good life!"

Although he was prepared in his heart, 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 Xinggong, "Thank you, General! I beg you General!"

"Hmm! 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 told 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 waiter bowed and made a please gesture, then turned to lead the way. After a while, Duan Zhixuan came to Ganlu Temple.

"Old ministers, 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 just left the morning, and there was no time to drink the water. After the tea was in his stomach, Li Er curiously said: "Duan Aiqing wants to see me in such a hurry today. , What is going on?"

Seeing that apart from Li Er, there is only Zhao Song in the temple, and Duan Zhixuan no longer hides it. He bluntly said: "Return to your Majesty, in the Xuanjia army last night, Zhang Kangnian, a lieutenant of the C-character battalion, led the soldiers to instigate a mutiny. Fortunately, the veteran found out in time so that it would not cause a catastrophe!"

"What? Someone incited the soldiers to mutiny?"

Hearing this, old Li was not calm at once. You must know that the Xuanjia Army was his "ace" army. Back then, the Xuanjia Army followed him in the South and North Wars and made great contributions. It can be said that Li Yuan was able to sweep In the world, the Xuanjia army under his second hand definitely played a vital role! So 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, from Duan Zhixuan's mouth, he 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 is as black as the bottom of a pot. If Zhang Kangnian instigates the soldiers to succeed in mutiny, then the Xuanjia Army will become a joke for the people of the world, and all his previous efforts to expand the Xuanjia Army will be in vain. Because the purpose of expanding the Xuanjia Army is to conquer the Turks, and once a mutiny occurs in the Xuanjia Army, it will greatly affect the training progress. What about a newly expanded and undertrained Xuanjia Army two months later? To be the "vanguard" of the imperial court in the Turkic battle?

So, at this moment, Li Er really wanted to kill the culprit who incited the mutiny of the soldiers!

"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 members, eleven people, have been taken down by the old officials, and the old officials have ordered them. Cut at the gate of the Xuanjia army!"

Duan Zhixuan bowed and said.

"Okay! It's time to kill! Duan Aiqing cut it well!"

Hearing this, Li Erpai started the case 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 who incited the soldiers for no reason. Mutiny? Is there someone else instigating him behind him? Duan Aiqing, can you find out why?"

Speaking, Li Er suddenly realized that something was wrong, and asked.

There is no love for no reason, no hate for no reason, Zhang Kangnian suddenly jumped out, there must be a reason, this is the intuition of an emperor, and it is also the intuition of a high-ranking person from a court coup!

"Returning to Your Majesty, Zhang Kangnian insisted that the matter was all planned by him alone, and there was no other instigation behind him! As for why he instigated the soldiers to mutiny, the old minister believed that he should be directed at Li Jianjun, or at Li Jianjun’s new From training exercises!"

Duan Zhixuan thought for a while and replied.

"Oh? Is this still related to Li Zexuan?"

After 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 cause and effect of this matter in detail. Listen!"

"The old officials 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 tell Li Er briefly about what happened to the Xuanjia Army last night and asked Li Er to let Li Zexuan formally serve as a lieutenant in the C-word camp. For the rest of the details, Duan Zhixuan did not intend to follow Li Er elaborated, because according to the conversation between Zhang Kangnian and Ding Dali and others last night, Li Erhui could easily associate this matter with Qiu Xinggong. He did not want to protect Qiu Xinggong to death, but that the Xuanjia army is gone. A school lieutenant, if Qiu Xinggong had another accident, the Xuan Jia army would be completely messed up!

After all, Qiu Xinggong has been in the Xuanjia Army for many years. There are many generals in the Xuanjia Army who support him. It is very inappropriate to move Qiu Xinggong at this time!

But now Li Er clearly told him and asked him to tell the details of what happened last night, so he had to tell all the things last night!

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, the C-character battalion cannot be left without a commander, so the old minister made his own suggestion and asked Li Canjun to temporarily replace the C-character battalion lieutenant. When your majesty, you have a more suitable candidate, Li Canjun will withdraw from the school. The post of Wei!"

It took more than a quarter of an hour to tell Duan Zhixuan what he saw with his own eyes, what he heard with his own ears, and what he heard from Li Zexuan last night.

After hearing this, Li Er wrinkled his brows 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 while, Li Er said: "Duan Aiqing, you have done 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 in the camp in an orderly manner and let him take the post. The C-character battalion lieutenant is very appropriate. Later, I will ask someone to make a decree and formally appoint him as the C-character battalion lieutenant!"

Duan Zhixuan arched his hands and said: "The old official thanked your Majesty for Li's participation in the army!"

"Hmm!"

Li Er nodded ~ IndoMTL.com~ After a moment of indifference, his eyes flashed, and he said indifferently: "After you return to the camp, tell my will, Zhang Kangnian and others conspired to make a mutiny, but the Xuanjia army general Qiu Xinggong, the control is not strict, and there is a crime of oversight. Let him get thirty sticks to show his punishment!

Even if there is no evidence of Yau 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 ministers follow the order!"

Duan Zhixuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and after reacting, he quickly bowed his hands.

"Okay, you can withdraw!"

Li Er waved his hand and said.

"The old minister retire!"
