Country is the most important

Five days ago:

The prelude of Jinyiwei in the capital reported: "Your Majesty! The murderer who killed the Southwest envoy has been found."

Gao Xian opened his eyes wide, fixedly staring at the Jin Yiwei who was kneeling in front of the imperial court, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "What's the result of the trial?"

Jin Yiwei lowered his head, "The man only spoke seven words from the beginning to the end, and then bit his tongue and killed himself." There was a calm tone in his tone.

Gao Xian clasped the dragon chair tightly with both hands, his hands were even more bruised, and a trace of uneasiness and fear suddenly surged in his heart, as if he had already guessed the result but was unwilling to believe it.

"Which seven words?"

"Fourth Highness avenges me!"

Hearing those words from Jin Yiwei's mouth, the stone that Gao Xian had been holding on to in his heart suddenly fell heavily, smashing Gao Xian's internal organs to pieces.

"Go on." Gao Xian's voice trembled slightly.

Jin Yiwei didn't raise his head from the beginning to the end, he lowered his head and replied: "Hey~", and then backed out.

Gao Xian's hand holding the dragon chair tightly loosened suddenly. "Gao Yan! It really is you!" After that, the whole person seemed to be drained, with a tired look on his face. "But what is your purpose!" After a while, he gritted his teeth suddenly and roared in his heart, "You can't take it anymore at last, and you want to fight for the world with me!"

Gao Xian felt that his mind was in chaos, even with a trace of panic.He felt that he urgently needed to take a break now, and then digest what Jin Yiwei said just now.He leaned on the wall and walked slowly towards the bed.

Gao Xian retreated all the maids and eunuchs, and lay quietly on the bed alone, closing his eyes and carefully recalling what Jin Yiwei said just now.

"According to the murderer's confession, it was Gao Yan who killed the Nanman peace envoy, but if Gao Yan had a different intention and wanted to do something, why did he kill the Nanman envoy?" The more Gao Xian thought about it, the more confused he became.

"As soon as the envoy of the Nanman peace talks died, the Nanman immediately rebelled, the southwest was in turmoil, and the government was unstable. How to appease the Nanman will inevitably become a difficult matter." Gao Xian thought again, "But if it is only for the sake of my country It's nothing to make trouble, just to embarrass me. But is it really just for these things that you, Gao Yan, are planning?"

"no no."

"It's not like this!"

Gao Xian suddenly opened his eyes as if suddenly enlightened, sat up from the dragon couch, and roared, "What you want is the [-] Dingyuan iron cavalry in the southwest!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

With two roars, Hou's personal eunuch outside the door hurriedly ran to the front of the imperial court!

Gao Xian jumped up from the dragon couch, pointed at the eunuch beside him with wide eyes, and said, "Where is Li Dingzhong imprisoned now! I want to see him right away!"

"Back to the emperor, General Li Dingzhong is currently locked up at the Fusi Yamen in Jinyiwei North Town." After a moment of pause, "Does the emperor want the servants to summon and ask Jinyiwei to bring Li Dingzhong immediately!"

"No need! I will personally go to the governor's yamen to meet him!" Gao Xian said as he walked out quickly.

------

Li Dingzhong was imprisoned in the cell of Beizhen Fusi, and the Jinyi guards tortured him every day to force him to confess to King Dingyuan's conspiracy. Every time Li Dingzhong gritted his teeth, he refused to say a word about King Dingyuan. , just took all the charges of privately deploying troops on himself, and didn't raise Jing in a word.

In the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen that day, Li Dingzhong's hair was spread out to cover his face, and he was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall, his feet were firmly baked by iron chains, and the fresh bloodstains all over his clothes showed that Not long ago he had been tortured.At this moment, the door of the cell opened suddenly, and a group of Jinyi guards poured into the cell, surrounding Li Dingzhong.

Although Li Dingzhong has been tortured countless times in the past few days, he has never seen so many Jinyiwei once. He thought that he was about to be questioned even more, so he spread his hands and leaned against the wall, forcing a firm confrontation. Looking at the surrounding people, "Use out all the tricks! I, Li Dingzhong, can handle it!"

"Li Dingzhong~" A deep voice came from the crowd suddenly, Li Dingzhong shivered, brushed away the hair covering his eyes, and raised his head to find the source of the voice.After a while, he realized that he straightened up abruptly, then knelt down with his hands on the ground and said, "The guilty minister Li Dingzhong, long live my emperor, long live long live~"

"Li Dingzhong, you are very courageous!"

"The guilty minister disregarded the emperor's favor and dispatched troops privately. He was not instructed by anyone, but he did it alone! Please punish him!" Li Dingzhong buried his head on the ground and kowtowed vigorously.

Gao Xian snorted coldly, "How does it feel in prison?" He raised his foot and stepped on the cracked skin of Li Dingzhong's left shoulder, and pressed Li Dingzhong to the ground hard with his foot.

Li Dingzhong didn't say a word, just buried his head lower.

"Gao Jing really didn't raise you for nothing, you are really a good and loyal dog." Gao Xian said while pushing the wound on Li Dingzhong's back vigorously with his feet.

Li Dingzhong was trembling with back pain, gritted his teeth and resisted, "I implore the emperor to punish!"

Gao Xian kicked Li Dingzhong to the ground suddenly, and snorted coldly, "Are there still [-] Dingyuan cavalry in the southwest?"

"Yes. When the sinner left the southwest, he took [-] cavalry with him."

"I will now give you a chance to make up for your mistakes."

Li Dingzhong got up again and knelt down in front of Gao Yan.

"I now order you to go to the southwest immediately, and bring back the head of the Nanman Khan and the [-] Dingyuan cavalry in the southwest to me intact!"

Li Dingzhong kowtowed, "The offender obeys the emperor's instructions~"

"It's just," Gao Yan took two steps back, "Now King Pingyang is also in Gao Yan to put down the Nanman rebellion. I will give you an imperial decree to cut off King Pingyang's military power, and then give you the full power of Southwest military power. At the same time, I I will transfer [-] troops from the capital to you and let you take them to the southwest." Gao Xian stretched out his right hand and patted Li Dingzhong's shoulder, "This time, don't let me down again, otherwise," Gao Xian said. Obviously injured, he pressed Li Dingzhong's injured shoulder hard, "If you disappoint me again this time, it's not just your fault."

Li Dingzhong suffered from pain in his shoulder, but he also understood the meaning of the second half of the emperor's sentence, which was to blackmail him with King Dingyuan.Li Dingzhong kowtowed and said, "The guilty minister understands!"

"After suppressing the southwest rebellion, return to the capital together with King Pingyang, there must be no mistake!"

"According to the order!"

……

Before dawn, Gao Yan and Tan Zhen heard a commotion outside the tent at the same time. They hurriedly got up, and before they had time to get dressed, they saw Li Zheng come in from outside the tent without even saying hello. Gao Yan's bed is coming quickly.

Tan Zhen and Gao Yan had a lingering night last night, and now they didn't wear any clothes on their bodies. When they were about to get dressed, they saw Li Zheng who was in a hurry, and immediately shyly stuffed himself back into the quilt and pretended to be dead.

Li Zheng glanced at Tan Zhen with disdain, then turned to Gao Yan who was dressing, "Your Highness! This is too bad!"

"What happened?" Gao Yan quickly put on his boots and stood up.

"The emperor sent Li Dingzhong to the southwest, saying that he dismissed your military power!"

Gao Yan glanced at Tan Zhen who was buried in the quilt, and walked quickly outside the tent, "Where is Li Dingzhong?"

"Just outside the tent!"

Outside the camp, Li Dingzhong held the imperial decree in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the movement inside the house.Seeing Gao Yan coming out of the tent with Li Zheng, he read aloud:

Blessed by heaven, the emperor said

Gao Yan and everyone around him immediately knelt down to listen to the order.

"The king of Pingyang removed all positions in the Southwest, and immediately handed over the military power in the Southwest to Li Dingzhong.

Appreciate this! "

Gao Yan was stunned for a moment, he neither accepted the order nor got up, but kept kneeling on the ground.After a while, Li Dingzhong stepped forward and handed the imperial decree to Gao Yan, "King Pingyang, please accept the decree."

Only then did Gao Yan come to his senses, stood up abruptly, stretched out his hand to firmly hold Li Dingzhong's right hand holding the imperial decree, and said with all his might, "This imperial decree is fake!"

The pulse of Li Dingzhong's right hand was seized by Gao Yan, one suffered pain, and the imperial decree almost fell out of his hand, but he was a military commander after all, and his right hand quickly used his own way to treat him, pinched Gao Yan's pulse, turned it over, and Escaped from Gao Yan.

Seeing this, Li Zheng rushed forward and grabbed Li Dingzhong's hand, which was holding Gao Yan, "Li Dingzhong! How dare you offend Gao Yan!"

The generals and soldiers around were a little at a loss at this time, and they intuitively felt what would happen.

Li Dingzhong let go, and threw the imperial edict into Li Zheng's arms, "Don't dare to be humble! However, the emperor's intention is obvious, my lord, you should accept the imperial edict!"

Gao Yan lifted the imperial decree heavily and shouted at the surrounding soldiers, "This imperial decree is false! Li Dingzhong falsely preached the imperial decree, and this king ordered him to be taken down immediately!"

The surroundings were silent for a while, Gao Yan glanced at the Dingyuan iron cavalry he bought last night nearby, and found that they were still standing motionless, only the few soldiers left with him rushed forward after hearing the order, but were caught The army brought by Li Dingzhong stood on the periphery.

"This imperial edict is false! Li Dingzhong falsely preached the imperial edict, and this king ordered him to be taken down immediately!" Gao Yan roared again in desperation!

"His Royal Highness King Pingyang, you should accept the order. When this general defeats the Nanman, I will return to Beijing with you to resume my post."

Gao Yan stood with red eyes, his body trembling with anger and fear.

Is everything he has worked so hard to come to an end?Is such a long preparation going to waste?No!No!There must be a solution!There must be a solution!
