Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 464 Dismissal and Detention
After Wang Zhaoyuan took the brochure, he looked suspicious and angry, not knowing what was listed in the brochure.

At the same time, he was very annoyed that the second prince prevented him from stepping down. When he returned, he would provoke him in front of His Majesty and the Crown Prince, and even falsely accused Meng Xuanyu of seizing the military power, intending to force the palace sage to seize the position of the prince, intending to plot rebellion.

This was Wang Zhaoyuan's inner activity, but after he opened the booklet and looked through the contents, he was shocked.

Because the contents listed here are all the evil things his son has done, as well as the evidence of his own corruption and breaking the law.

After just a quick glance, I was horrified and my back was covered in cold sweat.

There is no doubt that these all happened in real life, and none of them wronged him.

However, the officialdom is like this, in court battles, no one is innocent.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If you are neither greedy nor bad, how can you melt into it?
How to protect yourself wisely?

How to win over allies?

It's just that there is a difference between being greedy for the small and greedy for the big, and being evil for the small and evil for the big.

Meng Xuanyu saw the expression of the old fox Wang Zhaoyuan in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "There is nothing to say, these crimes are only a fraction of them. In it, they have killed people several times, eliminated political enemies, opened brothels to force men into prostitution, etc. , is enough to dismiss you for investigation and escort you to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Only now did Wang Zhaoyuan understand that the second prince came prepared and was going to deal with him.

Even if he is a favored minister, a powerful minister, and has his own party, direct descendants, and allies in the court, but here, the soldiers and horses around him are all the second prince's people, so he can't resist.

"Most of these are wronged, but Mr. Wang has never done these things. If the second prince doesn't believe me, I am willing to leave Jiameng Pass, resign from the post of commander in chief, return to the capital, and plead guilty to His Majesty. I ask the third division to investigate and return my innocence. .”

Wang Zhaoyuan is a person who understands current affairs. Seeing the current situation, he can't fight head-on with the second prince. He has already been caught in the trap and has no soldiers around, so he has to bow his head.

If it was outside the city, and the second prince threatened him like this, Wang Zhaoyuan might use soldiers and horses outside the city to confront him.

After all, in the name of the northern border, he is the commander in chief.

But at the moment it can't be done, because Wang Zhaoyuan was not mentally prepared, he only brought Du Yuhou and others into the urn city, and ended up being the turtle in the urn.

The eyes of Han Baozheng, Li Jin and others were all brilliant.

The second prince is so tough this time, is he going to dismiss Wang Zhaoyuan directly and become the commander-in-chief?

Do you really have the heart to rebel?

All the soldiers were puzzled, so they all had their own guesses.

Meng Xuanyu knew very well that this sentence of resignation was Wang Zhaoyuan's wise way to protect himself. He wanted to leave Jiameng Pass and the front line, and return to the capital as soon as possible to make arrangements to deal with his crisis.

You want to run, but can you run?
Meng Xuanyu sneered in his heart, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, and Yu shouted loudly: "Wang Zhaoyuan, before your Highness went out to fight, I sent people from the third department to check your charges, and they are basically true. Dismissed from office and exiled, demoted to common people."

"In addition, you are on the northern front line, domineering and commanding confusion, which led to the defeat of the Shu army and heavy losses. Add it all together, it is not an exaggeration for His Highness to kill you on the spot with the imperial bestowed sword!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhaoyuan's face changed greatly, and he could already see that the second prince was going to be serious.

Originally, he thought this was what the second prince meant, and wanted to attack him, and then seize the military power, take the opportunity to support himself, and fight with the prince, the scheme is very big.

Unexpectedly, before the Second Prince left the capital of Shu, he seemed to have made this matter clear to the officials of the current Shu Kingdom, and asked the people from the Third Division to investigate, and obtained His Majesty's approval, and gave the secret order to the monk Fang Baojian.

As a result, Wang Zhaoyuan felt that his situation was quite passive.

The emperor, who has no military power nearby and no support in the distance, is not allowed to step down if he wants to step down.

Wang Zhaoyuan had a premonition that this time he would fall into the hands of the second prince.

Han Baozheng, Li Jin and others were all in high spirits, and when they looked at Wang Zhaoyuan, their eyes were full of hatred.

Some people even gloated in their hearts, thinking that Wang Zhaoyuan should have cleaned up long ago.

Meng Xuanyu looked at Wang Zhaoyuan, who had a gloomy face, and smiled coldly. With the momentum of a superior, he scanned the generals and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Han Baozheng stood up, cupped his hands and said: "We will obey the imperial court's order and obey the Second Prince's orders."

"Follow the imperial court's order, and obey the orders of the second prince!"

Li Jin, Lan Siwan, Wang Shenchao, and others also expressed their stances one after another, agreeing with Han Baozheng's position and supporting the second prince's decision.

No one stood up to intercede for Wang Zhaoyuan, and everyone knew that his power was over.

The posture in front of him was clearly the second prince's plan long ago, and Wang Zhaoyuan didn't even have a chance to resist when he was ready to catch the turtle.

What's more, the second prince has a noble status, he received the imperial edict, and he brought the imperial sword with him, and he came to deal with the commander of the North Route Army. No one stood up at this time to defend Wang Zhaoyuan.

Most of the generals of the North Route Army had long complained about Wang Zhaoyuan.

At this time, he was very relieved and supported the second prince's decision.

Even Wang Zhaoyuan's chief guard, the Du Yuhou Lu Ming who followed from the capital, fell silent, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at the second prince and Wang Zhaoyuan.

"Come here, escort Wang Zhaoyuan, the guilty minister, and put him in a prison in the city. He will guard him strictly and make no mistakes!"

Meng Xuanyu issued a military order.

"As ordered!"

A few soldiers came over and directly put handcuffs and shackles on Wang Zhaoyuan, and they were ready long ago.

Wang Zhaoyuan shouted: "I want to go back to the capital to meet His Majesty and prove my innocence."

"You can't go back until the war here is over!"

Meng Xuanyu didn't bother to look at him anymore, and with a wave of his hand, those soldiers directly escorted Wang Zhaoyuan to the prison.

The military generals who entered the city had expressions of relief on their faces.

After Meng Xuanyu glanced at the group of people, he said, "Generals, you are fighting to the death against the Song army on the front line. There is no merit but hard work. On behalf of the imperial court, my highness expresses condolences!"

The generals of the defeated army were both moved and ashamed when they heard the second prince's comforting words. After all, they were defeated all the way by the Song army, and it was too embarrassing.

"However, in the past half a month, repeated battles and repeated defeats have resulted in nearly [-] casualties, and the gates have been lost one after another. Now only Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass are left. These two great passes have been broken, and the Song army directly attacked the capital of Shu. , our Shu Kingdom is about to perish."

Meng Xuanyu told the truth about the battle of the Shu army, which can be described as "terrible". .

These generals and Marquis Du Yu bowed their heads in shame when they heard this.

Meng Xuanyu said sonorously and forcefully: "So, we have no way out. Jiameng Pass is our only chance to resist the Song army. As the prince, my highness will personally guard the Xiongguan here, stick to it to the end, and stop the Song army from advancing." Alright, all generals, are you willing to follow me to defend our home and country, and rebuild the spirit of the Shu army!"

All the soldiers raised their heads suddenly, with blood surging in their hearts, they shouted in unison: "Stick to the end!"

"Hold on to the end!"
