Chapter 490: Dismissal and Imprisonment
Fan Honghui stopped talking and immediately changed his words, "I respect my little sister's decision!"
"My second brother's words were very high-sounding."
>Fan Honghui, "..."
How about calling him second brother to save him some face?
But I said this again, in front of my little sister, do you want to save face?
However, it is allowed to allow Fan Jinglan to stay in Jinqiu County, but there is not a single thing that should be ensured that is missing.
He checked to see if he had enough silver and whether he had enough manpower, and even warned him to take good care of himself, pay attention to safety, etc.
These words were repeated over and over again from the first night to the next morning. Fan Jinglan felt that her ears were numb.
But when she thought that her second brother had no strong objection to her staying in Jinqiu County, she could bear it and nodded crazily.
The more he saw Fan Jinglan behave well, the more uneasy Fan Honghui felt. Not only did he send someone to escort Fan Jinglan back to Jinqiu County, he also sent several secret guards to follow him to protect Fan Jinglan's safety.
After much thought, there were still some shortcomings, so I simply wrote a letter in my own hand and sent it to Mrs. He, so that Mrs. He would know about the matter and help take care of it. .
After finishing all this, someone came from Beijing.
Brings a message and a decree.
The news is about An Jingzhong, who was beheaded on April 16th and his head was hung on the beheading platform for seven days.
The will is about An Leiting.
An Leiting was dismissed from the post of commander of the Western Frontier Army and imprisoned. He was escorted back to Beijing in a few days to await the conviction of the Ministry of Punishment and the emperor's resignation.
The reasons for dismissal and detention were: delaying the military situation, being passive and idle in the war, forming cliques for personal gain, seizing fertile land privately, falsely claiming military merit, failing to teach his children well, and even participating in the embezzlement of military supplies and medicinal materials involving An Jingzhong and Suspected of killing good people and taking merit.
The news and decree were read out in public. An Leiting heard it clearly. The color on his face faded little by little. He couldn't even kneel stably, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground. .
The emperor finally killed An Jingzhong.
Moreover, the emperor was so cruel and ruthless that despite his outstanding military achievements for so many years, he actually sent him to prison and convicted him according to law after counting his crimes in detail.
Cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey!
After An Leiting was shocked, he was full of anger and stood up. "I want to meet the Holy One!"
"Don't panic." Fan Honghui said slowly, "Wait. After you arrive in the capital, you can meet with the emperor yourself. "
The emperor has said that he will convict himself, so he will definitely let the Ministry of Punishment explain all the crimes committed by An Leiting in detail, so that he can hear clearly. The emperor would naturally convict him on the spot to serve as a warning to others.
Therefore, An Leiting will definitely meet the emperor.
It is just as a prisoner, and there will be no chance to argue at that time.
An Leiting understood that Fan Honghui's words at this time were full of sarcasm, and his eyes turned into bells, "You think that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Now that you drive me away, you can take charge of the entire Western Frontier Army and let them Obedient to you?”
“Dream!”
An Leiting was angry and sad in his heart, and he spoke without restraint at this time, "The Western Frontier Army can be so brave and loyal because I have been running the An family in the border for many years. I have been like this through life and death. You have never had anything to do with them." How can we command the Western Frontier Army through friendship?”
"Really?" Fan Honghui looked at An Leiting coldly, looked around with a scrutinizing gaze, and asked all the generals present, "Is it really as what An Leiting said?"
Including Zhuo Dingsheng Everyone inside shuddered involuntarily and hurriedly bowed to express their attitude, "We are loyal to the emperor and have no intention of being disloyal or disloyal!" Fan Honghui was very angry. Very satisfied with this answer, he nodded slightly, "I understand all your thoughts in my heart, and I will definitely report it to the emperor truthfully. In addition, the emperor has also made it clear that if he did not take the initiative to join forces with An Leiting, he would be forced to have no choice but to do so. Based on past military exploits, you can rest assured that you have merit."
As soon as this was said, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
In the army, there are many military orders. There are some things that they know are wrong, but they have to do them to save their lives. If they are implicated by An Leiting, it will be really difficult.
Fortunately, the emperor is a wise king!
"Your Majesty is wise!" Someone shouted first, and the others saluted again and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Seeing that Su Ri showed her loyalty in front of him, he was also surrounded by mountains of swords and seas of fire. People who do not hesitate no longer have any backbone at this time. An Leiting was surprised and extremely angry.
He raised his feet and kicked the people closest to Fan Honghui to the ground. An Leiting even grabbed a person's robe at will and shouted loudly, "A dignified man should stand upright, but he has become a hero." You're a coward!"
"Cowards!"
Those who were kicked and beaten by An Leiting did not speak, but they looked at An Leiting with full resentment.
Whether they are cowards or cowards, they still have some conscience.
And you, An Leiting, really have no conscience at all.
I have reached this point. Instead of thinking about my brother who has been through life and death, I try not to get involved in the slightest, but now I am questioning and scolding him face to face. I am afraid that Fan Honghui does not know, and I am afraid that Fan Honghui will not check it out. They?
How will they do things in the future and how will they hold their heads high?
Still, An Leiting originally planned to break the jar, so he roped in some people to support him.
Do you want to die together?
Thinking of this, everyone felt even more resentful. Some even stood up, pointed at An Leiting and shouted, "We have shown our loyalty to you, but only if you are from the Western Frontier Army." Commander Xiang, what you have done is to serve the country and serve the court!”
“That’s right! Yes!" Someone stood up and spoke, and others naturally agreed, "We, iron-blooded men, are loyal to the country, the court, and the emperor. Naturally, we are not the individuals who made the mistake!"
"It is natural to violate the laws of the court! It should be dealt with according to the law!”
“That’s right!”
The wall fell and everyone pushed...
An Leiting understood this sentence thoroughly at this moment, looked at everyone laughing, and then looked at Fan Honghui with red eyes, "Let's go Look! ”
Some people are no longer useful, but that doesn’t mean they are completely useless!
Fan Honghui was too lazy to argue too much with An Leiting at this time. He just raised his hand, called for people to come up and peeled off An Leiting's armor.
“Take him down and imprison him carefully, send someone to guard him closely, and don’t allow anyone to come close!”
"Yes!"
The guards tied up An Leiting and even used iron shackles before taking him away.
The news that An Leiting was dismissed from his post and imprisoned, and that the entire Western Frontier Army was commanded by Fan Honghui, who temporarily took over the post of commander in chief, spread throughout the entire military camp that day.
The whole army was talking about it.
