Chapter 192: Confessing Chen Lanxi as Uncle Yingying, hereditary for three generations!
Like Wu Tong, Emperor Renxiao was also distressed.
What he couldn't understand was that the two supervisors sent there died before the battle started.
Is there some conspiracy, or are the two supervisors just deadbeats?
The battle report delivered by the Imperial Guards in person is consistent with what Wu Tong wrote. Both supervisors died because of their great success.
Emperor Renxiao couldn't accept it. He had a sullen face, and the civil and military officials in the hall were so suppressed that they didn't dare to breathe!
"Your Majesty, I suspect that there is something fishy about the deaths of the two supervisors!" Prime Minister Zuo stood up to write a report.
Emperor Renxiao ordered someone to show him the report. It was written by his good nephew.
If it were someone else who came to deliver the report, Emperor Renxiao would definitely be suspicious. But it was the Imperial Guards who came to deliver the report, or the Imperial Guards he sent, and they were his confidants.
How could it be fake!
After Wu Yanzhi read the memorial, his face was livid, and he cursed Wu Tong hundreds of times in his heart for not knowing how to write two copies of the memorial to the court. If he had read it in advance, he would not have made such a big joke in the court.
"Your Majesty was merciful and spared Zhao Chengkai, but Peng Rong must not be spared lightly. If it weren't for him, our counterinsurgency army would not have killed or injured so many elite soldiers and generals!" Wu Yanzhi has been an official for many years, and he is smooth and alert. Otherwise, he would not be sitting in the position of Prime Minister Zuo.
He knows how to figure out the emperor's heart, and his first responsibility now is to let his majesty vent his anger.
Who else is more suitable than Peng Rong!
Emperor Renxiao was furious: "Peng Rong was so happy with his achievements that he did not obey orders. He dared to falsify and forge imperial edicts for the sake of military power. His heart is to be punished!"
Wu Yanzhi immediately asked for orders: "Peng Rong is simply too ambitious. I implore your majesty to severely punish the Peng family to serve as a warning to others!"
Emperor Renxiao: "The whole Peng family was slaughtered and their property was put into the treasury!"
The civil and military officials of the court shouted: "Your Majesty is wise! !”
No one dared to intercede for Peng Rong at this time. Everyone knew that dealing with Peng Rong was for the sake of the counter-rebellion army and the world.
"An army to suppress rebellion must not be without supervisors. Dear friends, if you have suitable candidates, please make special recommendations!" As soon as Emperor Renxiao said this, no one dared to answer.
Another supervisor died, and the counter-rebellion army suddenly became an untouchable hot potato. Everyone can see that this position of supervisor is not easy to sit in, and this position reveals evil nature!
As time went by, Emperor Renxiao’s face became increasingly ugly when he saw that no one dared to pick him up.
Suddenly someone stood up.
"I dare to recommend someone!" The one who stood up was Weijie, the minister of Dali Temple.
Emperor Renxiao's face softened slightly, his tone was softer, and he asked: "I love you, just say it."
Wei Jie lowered his head and handed over his hand: "The one I recommend is the former supervisor of the Southwest Army. Che Mingyuan!”
After hearing this, Emperor Renxiao’s expression suddenly dropped.
He had long forgotten who Che Mingyuan was, but the words "former Southwest Army" made him feel very unhappy!
Wei Jie continued: "Che Mingyuan was never taken seriously when he was in the Southwest Army. Later, he accidentally injured his leg during a drill, so he resigned and returned home!"
Emperor Renxiao frowned after hearing the words "not taken seriously".
Since he is retiring from old age, he must be at an advanced age.
Emperor Renxiao thought of some of the old ministers in the court, and raised a subtle smile on his lips.
"Okay, let's ask Che Mingyuan to go. There is no need to come to the palace to express gratitude, and we will go directly to Yonglin Prefecture!" Emperor Renxiao waved his hand and retreated directly.
In a few days, news spread that the supervisor of the counter-insurgency army took advantage of his identity as a man to take credit from Shen Lanxi and drive Shen Lanxi out of the counter-insurgency army. Someone else wrote a jingle, "The cunning rabbit is dead and the running dog is cooked, and the flying bird is gone and the good bow is hidden." It implies that Shen Lanxi is needed when the royal family is in chaos. After stability is achieved, power will be seized from her and people killed.
I don’t know how this wind blew into the palace. When Emperor Renxiao found out, he was very angry!
"I have already executed Peng Rong's entire family, what else do they want?"
Emperor Renxiao has rarely been so out of character since he ascended the throne. His hair was disheveled, and he looked like he was being driven into a panic. He knocked all the tables, chairs, and memorials in the imperial study to the ground. He was like a beast that was being driven around in a panic!
"Your Majesty, calm down. These are the nonsense of ignorant and cunning people. Do not listen to them!" Wang Bao persuaded with concern.
Emperor Renxiao had an evil fire in his heart. This evil fire was ignited when King Ni was in rebellion, and it has not been extinguished to this day.
"Wang Bao, I'm not good enough to her? She joined the army as a woman. Not only did I not punish her, but I also rehabilitated her family, reinstated her father to his original post, and made her the general of counterinsurgency. She also wanted to How's it going?"
Wang Bao bowed his back, lowered his head, and kept comforting her.
"Your Majesty guarantees the dragon body! According to Lao Nu, someone must have taken the opportunity to sow discord, so that Your Majesty could get into trouble!" Wang Bao said ambiguously.
Emperor Renxiao was startled and shook his head vigorously to wake himself up.
Yes, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman. Just because she is a woman, she is not something to be afraid of.
Wang Bao cautiously glanced at Emperor Renxiao, his eyes flashed, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, no matter how talented she is, she is still a woman. She is also an abandoned wife of the royal family, and she will definitely not be able to marry in the future. Human. Is there any woman in the world who doesn’t look forward to finding a good husband? If she can really come back victorious in the future, your majesty can just give her a marriage to offset her military achievements!” Liang, how could he forget this?
If this is the case, it would be best for Shen Lanxi to come back victorious with extraordinary abilities. No matter how great her military exploits are, just because she is a woman, those military exploits can only be a flashy piece of clothing. Not much use!
Wang Bao saw His Majesty's face gradually improving, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "These people who spread rumors are really hateful. They all have no ability to quell chaos, but they are good at spreading rumors!"
Emperor Renxiao was amused by the way Wang Bao pinched his orchid finger and cursed angrily.
Yes, he has nothing to worry about.
It’s great that the counterinsurgency general is a woman!
"Wang Bao, immediately drafted an edict to make Shen Lanxi the Yingbo Bo, a hereditary title for three generations, with the power to live in hundreds of households, and to use it together with the title of Princess Lanxi!"
"Peng Rong falsely passed on the imperial edict before. , so that Uncle Yingying was deceived into leaving the counter-rebellion army, and I feel deeply guilty. Wang Bao, please choose some gifts yourself and give them to reliable people with the imperial edict to deliver the edict!"
Wang Bao understands: " The old slave asked his apprentice to pass on the decree!"
Emperor Renxiao nodded with satisfaction.
Before the edict arrived, Shen Lanxi already knew the contents of the edict.
“General, Deputy Supervisor Wu wants to see you!”
Shen Lanxi has been at the house in Yonglin Prefecture during this time. Wu Tong’s request for an interview this time is already the fifth time Shen Lanxi has asked for an interview since he left the military camp. .
Shen Lanxi: “No!”
The guard immediately went to report it.
Wu Tong has been losing a lot of hair on his scalp these days, partly because of worry and partly because of scratching.
He has already personally invited Shen Lanxi back and given her such great honor, why hasn’t she come back yet?
Why are you so ignorant!
