poor family prodigal

Emperor Xinglong's face turned cold: "Then Wang Yuan did have merit. His merits were in making the three-bow crossbow and the magic weapon that cuts iron like clay. It was of great help to the battle, but these achievements are not enough to grant him a title!"

"Uh!"

Wu Ling frowned in surprise: "Your Majesty, not only the manufacturing of equipment, but also the strategy for winning this war were all planned by military advisors. Without military advisors and so many changes, it would be difficult for the general to defend the city, let alone a great victory in the counterattack. Please, Your Majesty Be aware of everything and give justice to the military advisor."

Many memorials have clearly stated the merits of military advisors, but His Majesty refuses to reward them.

When he came to the palace to face the emperor, he had made up his mind that he would fight to the death to explain his merits as a military advisor.

Even though he had become a marquis, his military advisor was still white, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

boom!

Emperor Xinglong's eyes darkened, he slapped his hand on the table, and said in a cold voice: "Bold, do you mean that I don't know right from wrong, and I don't know people well?"

wow wow wow...

Guardsmen wearing armor on both sides took out their swords and instantly surrounded Wu Ling.

"The last will not dare!"

Wu Ling said without changing his expression: "The general is just afraid that your majesty will listen to the slander and misunderstand the contribution of the military advisor in this battle, so he risked his life to give advice. Even if your majesty wants to kill me, I still want to make the matter clear. The greatest contribution to this battle is He is a military advisor, not me, Wu Ling. The military advisor is a man of great talent, and if your majesty can reuse him, he will surely be able to overwhelm all the barbarian countries and revitalize the great cause of the country. Please give me a clear lesson from your majesty."

"Haha, you are such a talented person, do you think I am blind and deaf?"

Emperor Xinglong smiled slightly: "I have a Shadow Dragon Guard, no one can hide it from me. That Wang Yuan was just a boy, he was ordinary before the age of eighteen, but he rose to prominence three months ago. Do you think you can hide the deceit here from me?" "

Wu Ling frowned: "Your Majesty, please speak clearly!"

He had been with Wang Yuan from beginning to end during the battle in the north and had seen every one of his plans.

No one knows as well as he does whether there is deceit in it!

"You step back!"

Emperor Xinglong glanced gloomily.

Concubine Su, the maids, and the eunuchs retreated.

The Imperial Forest Army retreated twenty feet away, but drew their crossbows and aimed at the pavilion.

Looking at Wu Ling kneeling on the ground, Emperor Xinglong's face was as cold as ice: "Since you want to listen, then I will explain it to you clearly. Do you think I don't know your plan?"

"...?"

Wu Ling frowned in confusion.

He was devoted to the country, and even though his father was unjustly killed, he still managed not to have second thoughts.

Your Majesty actually said that he had a plan!

"The plots on the battlefield were all the work of Wang Haitian! That Wang Yuan was just a chess piece he pushed out, a tool to interfere with the government! But I was not fooled, and he pushed you out to prove it. You think you can hide this? I, but I have already seen through everything!”

Emperor Xinglong looked confident, as if the world was under his control.

"..."

Wu Ling was stunned for a while, then frowned and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood! The defeat of the Huangren was all due to the military advisor and had nothing to do with Uncle Haitian. I, Wu Ling, swear in the name of my late father, I will never lie!"

Ever since King Ding failed to seize the legitimate heir and his father died unjustly, Uncle Haitian became extremely disappointed with the court and never participated in any government affairs again!

Even if the Huangren attacked Jiushan County, he only led his servants to support him on the night the city was broken, and did not take any other actions!

He didn't understand how your Majesty could think so much and put the credit for being a military advisor on Uncle Haitian's head!

Emperor Xinglong sneered: "By your father's reputation, your father is also a traitor and a traitor!"

"His Majesty……"

Wu Ling's eyes were red and his veins were bulging out from his fists: "My late father has passed away, please don't humiliate me!"

shhhhhh...

Twenty feet away, a group of forest guards rushed over and surrounded the pavilion with their swords drawn!

"It doesn't matter if I humiliate him, you still dare to kill the king!"

Emperor Xinglong smiled coldly, stood up and distanced himself, scolding: "Back then, Wang Haitian was the think tank and your father was in charge of the army. The two colluded with King Ding to plot evil and seize my throne, but I saw through them one by one and eliminated them. You are not What are these rebellious officials and traitors?"

"His Majesty!"

Wu Ling closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "My father was loyal to the court and never had second thoughts. Back then, King Ding wrote to his father, asking him to raise an army to help him, but his father refused without hesitation. If my father had I am willing to help King Ding seize the throne. The imperial army sent by the imperial court cannot stop the black-armored army. Also, Your Majesty invited my late father to the capital. My late father knew that you wanted to kill him, but he still came because my late father knew , If you want your minister to die, you will have to die. If my late father had second thoughts, it would be King Ding who would ascend to the throne, not your Majesty!"

"presumptuous!"

Emperor Xinglong's eyes turned red: "I was able to get the big position because I had destiny, and I had already figured out your wolfish ambitions. If I hadn't sent a hundred thousand forbidden troops, you and your son would have been captured, and the traitor King Ding would have committed suicide. You just saw that the situation was over." , only then did he plead guilty and commit suicide in order to survive!"

"Haha, since His Majesty sees it this way, Wu Ling has nothing to say!"

Wu Ling smiled with a lonely look on his face: "Since I am a rebellious minister and a traitor, I am not worthy of holding the position of Marquis Wu. Your Majesty, please deprive me of this title and then punish me for the serious crime of rebellious ministers!"

Although there are a large number of [-] forbidden troops, their equipment and training are also strong. They are the best soldiers in the world!

Although there were five thousand black-armored troops back then, if my father really wanted to fight, he could still annihilate them in one battle.

The Imperial Imperial Guards who have never seen blood are not on the same level as the black-armored veterans who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in terms of combat power, tactics, and coordination!

It's just that it's useless to say this now, because His Majesty has already preconceived the idea.

No matter how much he does, he is still a traitor and traitor who is not trusted in His Majesty's mind, just like his father was back then.

At this moment, his dissatisfaction with the imperial court disappeared once again!

If possible, he would rather disband his armor and return to the fields, taking his mother, brothers and sisters into seclusion in the mountains and forests.

"Okay, very good, you dare to threaten me, then I will help you!"

Emperor Xinglong's eyes darkened, he waved his hand and roared: "Come here, come Wuling disobedient criminal, strip him of his python robe, and take him to the sky prison!"

The imperial guard was startled, quickly pressed down on Wu Ling, and began to peel off the python robe!

Concubine Su, palace maids, and eunuchs in the distance were all frightened!

"stop!"

Suddenly Yang Fengguo, the left minister of the cabinet, Yuan Guanluan, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and Qin Zhan, the minister of the Ministry of war, arrived!

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Yang Fengguo, the Prime Minister of the Left, knelt down and spoke: "Marquis Wu has made great achievements at the border, and now he has sacrificed prisoners at the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Your Majesty is now punishing him for his crimes. This will make the civil and military officials of the court think of your Majesty, and let the people of the world think. Your Majesty, please think twice!" "

Qin Zhan, the Minister of War, said: "Marquis Wu has accomplished such extraordinary feats. If Your Majesty punishes him like this, what will the border officers think? Who is willing to sacrifice his life for the country? The enemy countries in the world will also take the opportunity to create trouble!"

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu accidentally made a big mistake. Please forgive him for his sin!"

Yuan Guanluan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, sighed: "Although we have a great victory over the Huang people, there is no movement in the Huang court and they have not talked with us. This war is not over yet. There are five kings in the Huang court, and the strength of the other four kings is Not inferior to King Tu Nan, there is also the Huangting Forbidden Army, and their strength has not been reduced much. If Wuhou is dealt with now, relatives will hate him and enemies will be quick!"

Staring at Wu Ling, Emperor Xinglong gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes, but his heart calmed down.

What the three people said is right. Dealing with Wu Ling now will be detrimental to the court!

He was also furious just now. This rebellious son dared to contradict him in person.

If the court officials had not objected, he would have been useful, and he would have been killed long ago to avoid future troubles.

Looking at Emperor Xinglong's expression, Yang Fengguo, the left minister, quickly mentioned Wu Ling and scolded him: "Wu Ling, why did you offend His Majesty? Why haven't you asked for mercy? Do you want to let your mother and younger siblings suffer from you as soon as you return to Kyoto?" , can’t you even have a good year?”

Thinking of his old mother, young brother and sister on the sick bed, Wu Ling felt sad and kowtowed on the ground with a heart filled with despair: "The sinner is proud of himself and has offended His Majesty, but I have never had second thoughts towards Your Majesty. Please forgive me!"

"His Majesty!"

Yang Fengguo, Qin Zhan, and Yuan Guanluan turned their heads with expectations on their faces!

"My beloved, you are outspoken and considerate of my great cause. I forgive your guilt!"

Emperor Xinglong had no expression on his face, as if he was looking at another dead person. He turned around and walked away: "As for that Wang Yuan, please pass on my decree: he is not allowed to participate in the imperial examination and will never be used by the court. I don't want to hear anyone replace him again." name."

"What, you are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination and will never be used!"

Yang Fengguo was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but chase after him and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

But before he could catch up, Emperor Xinglong waved his hand and was stopped by the imperial guards!

For a moment, the three people in the field looked at each other in confusion and looked at Wu Ling in confusion!

"It was me who harmed the military advisor. I was sorry for the military advisor. If I had not offended His Majesty just now, I would not have ruined the military advisor's future. The military advisor asked me to perform extraordinary feats, but I ruined his future. I, I..."

Wu Ling, who had never shed tears despite crawling out of the mountain of corpses, now had tears in his eyes and a look of pain and self-reproach on his face.

Yang Fengguo was anxious: "Marquis Wu, what's going on?"

Mr. Mingtan is such a great talent, and if he abandons his great achievements, the enemy country will not let him go.

Wu Ling recounted what had just happened with a look of pain on his face.

The three cabinet bosses were stunned.

No wonder His Majesty never awarded Mr. Mingtan a reward. He thought Mr. Haitian was behind it!

No wonder His Majesty thinks so. Back then, Your Majesty competed with Prince Ding for the position of Crown Prince.

With the help of Mr. Hai Tian, ​​King Ding forced His Majesty to retreat steadily and almost lost his position.

"What can we do? His Majesty actually issued a decree that Mr. Mingtan is not allowed to do scientific research, and the imperial court will never use it!"

"When Your Majesty calms down, let's persuade him to go up and make sure that a great sage like Mr. Mingtan cannot be left in the wild!"

"Wuling, you don't have to blame yourself. You are doing it for Mr. Mingtan's own good. Even if he knows, he won't blame you. He can understand!"

The three cabinet bosses sighed.

Wu Ling didn't say anything, and left the palace with a despairing heart, without any nostalgia.

The next day, the court exploded!

His Majesty actually decreed that Wang Yuan, a child-born child, was not allowed to participate in the scientific examination, and the imperial court would never use it.

Combined with Zuo Xiang's faction, they had previously requested credit for Wang Yuan, and rumors spread!

Many people said that Wang Yuan, named Tong Sheng, had no talent for the imperial examination, so he bribed Marquis Wu with a lot of money, hoping to get the military glory of defeating the Huangren!

As a result, His Majesty saw everything clearly, understood all this, and issued the decree in anger!

The decree was conveyed to Chengzhou and decentralized to the state, county, and county yamen!

Suddenly there was a lot of news in Chengzhou!

And this news was also sent to Xiao Chuchu, the Queen Mother of Huangting!
