After being reborn, I became a scumbag and his aunt

Chapter 631
Emperor Qingming shook his head secretly, his son was not always on guard against Zhao Chengyuan.

Few people send charcoal in the snow, and many people take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into trouble. As the first emperor's son, how can Zhao Chengyuan know that he will not take advantage of the chaos and do something?
The father and son of Dingguo Gong and the son of Anling Marquis all shared weal and woe with Zhao Chengyuan. If they were in charge of the army, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing over the entire capital to Zhao Chengyuan.

Emperor Qingming said, "You can trust King Jin that much? If the soldiers and horses of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing are in his hands, will he really be able to resist the temptation of this dragon chair?"

He paused, "even, you and I don't know who the ghost-faced general is. Even if such a talented general is not one of them, how can he know that he is not a subordinate trained by them?"

Zhao Chen lowered his eyes and said, "It's because I didn't think carefully."

It's just that the father was wrong, no matter whether it was him or Zhao Chengyuan, if they hadn't been forced to, no one would have thought of grabbing the dragon chair.

Zhao Chen then said again, "Then only Prince Cheng is left, and the defense of the palace depends on him, so we can't go."

"Yes, he can't go."

Emperor Qingming couldn't help being annoyed to let Lu Zhenan go to the southwest, if he left a few days later, he wouldn't be unavailable now.

Emperor Qingming looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Haven't you considered taking charge of the army yourself? You have experience in leading the army in the northwest, and you are familiar with the tens of thousands of soldiers in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing."

Zhao Chen hesitated, "I don't worry about the palace."

At this time, Emperor Qingming was most at ease with this son.

He lost the desire to test, sat down and wrote an imperial decree, and handed it to Zhao Chen along with the Tiger Talisman, completely handing over the soldiers and horses of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing to Zhao Chen.

"You will be in charge of dispatching the large camp in the suburbs of Beijing. General Li has rich experience in leading troops. You can discuss with him about the formation of troops."

Zhao Chen paused his hands for a moment before accepting the imperial decree and military talisman.

"My son leads the order."

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Qingming left the Imperial Study Room and went straight to Qianqing Palace.

He opened the door and entered the hall, and gave another order to the outside, "Stay outside, and anyone who trespasses will be killed!"

The guards outside the door answered in unison.

Emperor Qingming closed the door, walked all the way into the sleeping hall, closed the door, stepped into the dragon bed, and pressed a mechanism at the bottom of the bed. With a click sound, the ground under the dragon bed slowly opened, revealing a three-foot-square tunnel. Come.

Emperor Qingming entered the tunnel with a candlestick in his hand, walked through the dark tunnel, and finally stopped in front of a dark room door.

He pressed lightly on an inconspicuous part of the wall, and a groove appeared.He took out another piece of jade pendant with intricate carvings from his waist, and put it in the groove. There were several clicking sounds, as if a mechanism was opening, and then there was a heavy bang, and the black iron door slowly moved away. A secret room is revealed.

The secret room was not big, and it was full of boxes, big and small. Emperor Qingming opened each box, took out a small box, and took out a token from it.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short time, it may not be so easy for them to seize the throne.

Emperor Qingming pressed on the other wall of the dark room, and a narrow dark passage appeared in front of him.

It took him several years to repair this secret passage after he ascended the throne. There are countless checkpoints and organs along the way, and only he knows about it.This is not only the passage for him to communicate with the private soldier Longwei, but also his last retreat.

……

Emperor Qingming returned to the ground again, and when he left the Qianqing Palace, it was already drizzling outside, and nearly ten thousand imperial soldiers were all over the palace, waiting in full force.

The defense of the city gates in the four directions of the capital is in charge of the Jinwu Guards. The soldiers on the city walls are fully armored, step by step, and stare down at the endless crowds flowing inside and outside the city gates.

When a soldier came to change the guard, the soldier who had been standing for two hours said strangely, "There are a lot of people leaving the city today."

"This is very strange. When it gets warmer, those who go out to farm and do business all start to move in February of the Spring Festival."

"Too……"

The two were talking, when they caught a glimpse of someone coming from the corner of their eyes, they suddenly fell silent.

I saw a burly general walking up the city wall, his suit of armor made him very intimidating. This person was the newly appointed commander of the Jinwu Guard, Commander Yan.After the original Commander Zhang was implicated and dismounted by Wang Can, Commander Yan was promoted by Luo Shoufu.

Commander Yan looked at the two men with majestic eyes, "It doesn't matter how many people leave the city, you should be careful if there are many people entering the city. Concentrate on duty!"

The two hurriedly cupped their hands, "Yes!"

Seeing Commander Yan walking away, one of the soldiers whispered, "Speaking of which, I feel that more people came to Beijing a few days ago than in the past..."

"Hush..." his companion stopped him softly.

The soldier fell silent, scratched his head and went down the city wall.

As for the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing, Old General Li had already received the imperial decree and verified the military amulet brought by the prince.

He returned the soldier talisman to Zhao Chen, "The last general admired the righteousness of that ghost-faced general, how could he do such a rebellious thing!"

The long sword in his hand was out of its sheath, and he thrust it into the ground, the thick and cold blade sank half a foot into the ground, "This old man will show you how capable he is!"

Zhao Chen put away the soldier talisman unhurriedly, and said in a low voice, "What is Dao, what is Wudao?"

Old General Li was taken aback, a little surprised that the crown prince was not in a hurry to discuss with him to meet the enemy, but instead talked about "Tao".

"Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is the way, and it is no way for him to seek rebellion. This is beyond doubt."

Zhao Chen said in a low voice, "A year ago, the situation in the Northwest was in crisis. If it wasn't for General Ghost Face, the gates of the Northwest would have been broken, Da Zhou would be in chaos, and people would be devastated. It's hard to say whether Da Zhou is still here or not. Why are you and me here?" On the chance of 'Tao' and 'No Tao'."

He stared at Old General Li and asked, "Then tell me, was General Ghost Face's actions at that time the 'Tao' or the 'No Way'? The enemy is currently in the midst of the situation, and Beijing and China have not sent reinforcements for a long time, regardless of the safety of the country. ' or 'no way'?"

Old General Li was questioned.

The righteous deeds of General Ghost Face in the Northwest are naturally Tao.

As for the emperor...

As a general, he was very aware of the dangers of the battle in the Northwest last year. He once went to the palace to ask for an order to lead troops to help the Northwest Army, but the emperor rejected him on the grounds that the camp in the suburbs of Beijing could not do without him.Other military generals had a lot of invitations to fight, but the emperor either rejected them or kept them out.

He was filled with righteous indignation, and deeply felt the sorrow of being a general, defeating a soldier was a death penalty, and even being loyal and courageous in an invincible battle could not escape death.

He understood why the emperor didn't send reinforcements for a long time, but he just wanted to use up Anlinghou's soldiers and horses, and weaken Anlinghou's military power without any effort.

Is it still the way for the emperor to disregard the life and death of the soldiers and the people, and disregard the safety of the country?

General Li has always believed in the belief of being loyal to the emperor and patriotism all his life in the army.Even thinking about it, I feel that I am rebellious.

He let out a long and heavy sigh in his throat, sat down and said, "The general is a rough man, and I can't figure out the twists and turns. The general only knows that as the general of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, he is responsible for guarding the capital. Responsibility. As a subject, you should obey your orders."

Zhao Chen had experienced General Li's stubbornness in his previous life.

Zhao Chengyuan's soldiers and horses had already taken control of the palace, and even Emperor Qingming's private soldiers surrendered after seeing that their master was dead.However, General Li was stubborn and refused to give up. He led the soldiers of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to resist stubbornly, causing countless casualties.

Those soldiers didn't deserve to die.

In this life, since many things have been settled, no matter what, the tens of thousands of soldiers in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing cannot be allowed to die in vain.

Zhao Chen sat on the seat and put his hands on his knees, "Old General Li, has he ever thought that if the Xiliang people invaded the Northwest again, the Northwest Army's strength would be worthy of a battle? Without the help of General Ghost Face, the Northwest Army might last as long as the Emperor Father When will the reinforcements arrive?"

After being reminded by the prince, Old General Li thought at this time: without the deterrence of General Ghost Face, with the pitiful strength of the Northwest Army, the Northwest is in danger!
The people of Xiliang never withdrew their soldiers and horses, and kept eyeing the northwest.If they find out that the ghost-faced general is no longer in the northwest...

Old General Li's expression turned serious.

Just now he was regarded as the "rebellious and outrageous" ghost-faced general, now when he thinks about it, he feels that this person should not die, and the safety of the Northwest cannot be separated from him.

But he can't be allowed to steal the country!

Old General Li suddenly changed his mind, and suddenly raised his head to look at Zhao Chen, "Is His Highness the Crown Prince speaking for General Ghost Face? General Ghost Face belongs to His Highness?"

In this way, it also makes sense why General Ghost Face helped the Northwest Army. The prince was in the Northwest at that time!
Zhao Chen said in a low voice, "Old General Li really thinks highly of loneliness. How can that General Ghost Face be willing to be inferior to others."

But if he really has such a team, he really doesn't have to cooperate with Zhao Chengyuan to make wedding clothes for others.

Old General Li stared at Zhao Chen with a pair of tiger eyes, but believed in his guess, "Sooner or later, the world will belong to His Highness, why should His Highness be so impatient."

Zhao Chen didn't make many excuses, but said, "The old general said that being loyal to the emperor and loving the country is the way, but Gu felt that it was just the way of the monarch and his ministers, not the way."

Old General Li remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

Zhao Chen said, "The people in the world, countless common people, their safety is the way."

Last night he ate the glutinous rice osmanthus cake made by You Ning at Duke Dingguo's mansion, and when he was leaving, he happened to meet Ye Chang in the outer courtyard.Ye Chang first provoked him in front of him, and then slipped a piece of paper into his hand without any trace.

There are only two words on the paper, "common people".

It's You Ning's handwriting.

He faced those two words all night.

You Ning thought that he would still be an enemy with Zhao Chengyuan, and there would be a bloody battle between the two, right?

common people.

Between the common people and You Ning, he has always chosen You Ning.

Although many things are different in this life, his choice is still You Ning.

But this time, choosing You Ning does not conflict with Cang Sheng.

You Ning's reminder this time gave him a reason to persuade Old General Li.

Zhao Chen looked serious, and said to Old General Li, "What happened in the northwest last year is not the first time, nor will it be the last time. Sooner or later, the Anlinghou's Mansion will disappear from the Northwest, and Dingguo's Mansion will not escape the same. Destiny. How many innocent soldiers and civilians will die in this process of seizing military power? After the Dingguo Mansion and Anlinghou Mansion fall, will there still be peace on the northwest and southwest borders?"

Old General Li was silent.

Ding Guogong was deprived of the right to deploy troops because he sent troops to aid the Northwest Army, and he was placed beside him by Lu Zhen'an to restrain him. The civil and military officials of the whole dynasty knew what was going on.

The emperor is going to attack Duke Ding.

Ding Guogong has been loyal and brave for generations, and defending his family and country has become a big mistake. How can he not let the soldiers feel chilled?
Duke Dingguo has 20 soldiers and horses, if Emperor Qingming repeats the same mistakes and intentionally drains his troops, how many people will die!

The various vicious acts of Emperor Qingming's killing of his brothers before may be said to be the ones who made big things careless, but what he killed were countless soldiers and common people...

General Li's original firm belief was shaken.

After being silent for a while, he said, "Your Highness, the last general...you have to do nothing. Your Highness let the last general watch the ghost-faced general's conspiracy and remain indifferent. The last general can't do it."

Zhao Chen asked, "Does the old general still remember the late emperor?"

When mentioning the late emperor, Old General Li's face became serious, "The last general has followed the late emperor for more than [-] years, how can he forget it? The late emperor was a generation of virtuous emperors, unfortunately, the sky has no eyes..."

Zhao Chen said, "It is true that the sky has no eyes. The red stone that the late emperor loved the most before his death was his life-threatening talisman. If the late emperor was here, why would Dazhou be what it is today?"

Old General Li suddenly got up and said sharply, "What are you talking about? What reminder!"

He was shocked and forgot the rules of respect.

Zhao Chen didn't bother with him, and replied, "The stone presented by Lord Zhen Guo can cause a blood test. The late emperor accompanied him every day, but he became terminally ill within two years. Empress Dowager Lu doesn't like such extravagant things. Instead, he escaped a catastrophe.”

Old General Li remembered that the stone was given to the late emperor by Lord Zhen Guo in the year King Jin was born.Its purpose is self-evident.

These veterans all knew that the first emperor had revealed more than once the meaning of establishing the king of Jin as the heir.

So, the late emperor was killed by Emperor Qingming's design?

Old General Li looked sad, raised his head and closed his eyes, weeping.

The late emperor should have lived a hundred years!
Dazhou should have had decades of peace and prosperity!
He suddenly opened his tiger eyes and asked, "How does His Royal Highness know that the stone can cause human blood?"

Zhao Chen said, "The two stones are now in the Prince Jin's mansion. Also, the father rewarded Princess Jin with a set of gemstone headgear when the King Jin and Princess Jin were married. It's time to go, within a year, Nanzhang princess got a blood certificate."

The crown prince's words contained too much information, and Old General Li stood there in a daze for a moment.

He only heard that the princess of Nanzhang was in poor health, and later his appearance was ruined by the emperor himself.A few days ago, the Queen Mother had sent someone to the General's Mansion, intending to betroth Nanzhang Princess to his grandson, but he declined.Their general's mansion can't accommodate such a big Buddha.

It turns out that the Nanzhang princess got a blood certificate.

It turned out that the emperor started to attack King Jin.

King Jin is the legitimate son of the late emperor!This world should be his!

Who can Emperor Qingming tolerate?When will these bloody killings stop?
Old General Li tightly grasped the hilt of the long sword lying on the ground, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness and the last general are telling the truth, who is that ghost-faced general? But King Jin?"

Zhao Chen said, "Yes."

Old General Li laughed out loud.

That laughter vicissitudes of life, sad.

"If King Jin doesn't rebel at this point, I'm afraid he will end up in the same fate as his elder brothers!"

He looked at Zhao Chen, "It's just that the general doesn't understand why His Highness the Crown Prince wants to help him? If he succeeds, there will be nothing His Highness will do in this world."

Zhao Chen said, "For the common people in the world."
