Teacher is too tough

The old emperor did not find out whether the Qiongzhou rebel army was jointly cultivated by Prince Yi and Prince Chun. He chose a simpler and cruder way, directly trampling the two sons to dust, and then picked two more sons to raise them up.

Taifu Bai Tonggu has the position he has today in the court because of him. No one knows that when Bai Tonggu lobbied Prince Yi and Prince Chun to join forces, it was the old emperor’s request. Therefore, everything Bai Tonggu has now is the result of the old emperor. It's not bad given.

However, the old emperor actually only gave him one chance. The ability to establish a firm foothold and survive for so many years was all due to the scheming of the Grand Tutor.

Prince Yi and Prince Chun are suspected of poaching the Daren Dynasty. Bai Tonggu is the liaison between the two princes. In the view of the old emperor, if the two evil sons are really related to the Qiongzhou rebellion, Bai Tonggu cannot escape the connection.

Now that he has decided to take away the power from the hands of the two scoundrels, the White Tutor is no longer useful, at least now. The old emperor will not think so far ahead and will not consider whether he will use it in the future. He is the supreme leader of the world. Lord, if there is a need for such a person in the future, is this huge dynasty still afraid that it will not be able to find another one?

Just because he suspected that Bai Tonggu had something to do with the Qiongzhou incident, the old emperor had already sentenced him to death. However, it was not the best time to deal with him yet, so he was allowed to live for a few more days.

At this moment, when he heard that the defeat was related to Bai Tonggu, a flash of anger flashed in the old emperor's heart. Could it be that this old guy was still tipping off those rebels?What a courage!I haven't settled the accounts with you yet, but you are trying to ruin my big event again? !
He originally didn't plan to see Wu Zhong, a worthless waste, and just killed him, but now he can meet him. If Bai Tonggu is really the old man who is doing it secretly, he can't give Wu Zhong another chance. After all, that is People he chose.

Before, we had no choice but to say that Wu Zhong colluded with the rebels, but he would inevitably be accused of being an unknown person. Now that Bai Tonggu is taking the blame, he doesn't even need to bear the name of an unknown person. I shared my worries for my father.

His Majesty the Emperor summoned Taifu Bai, who arrived very quickly. He has become a mature man. He has already keenly grasped the recent subtle changes in the court situation. The status of Prince Yi and Prince Chun seems to be the same as before, but in fact, it is being stripped away. What he sees It is very clear that there has always been only one big figure in Shengren City, and that is His Majesty the Emperor.

Wu Zhong was a confidant he had secretly cultivated. This time he quietly brought him into the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. He was not just taking this opportunity to enhance his voice in the court. He really felt that Wu Zhong was a talented person who could share the worries of His Majesty the Emperor. .

Having been with His Majesty the Emperor for decades, he still had some feelings for the Emperor.

Who would have thought that Wu Zhong would fight the battle like this? He couldn't figure it out even if he thought about it, how could Wu Zhong, the most outstanding young general in the army, not be able to deal with the rebels like the Caotai team?
It's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to ask Wu Zhong face to face. On the grounds that Mo Rengan was kidnapped by rebels, he proposed to His Majesty the Emperor that Zhenwu Division send experts to personally protect the general's safety, but now he shot himself in the foot.

After the defeat, Wu Zhong was directly guarded by the five masters of the Zhenwu Division. No one was allowed to approach him, so he had no chance at all.

After the old eunuch passed the news, the old Taifu Bai staggered into the imperial study. His heart was still calm. His Majesty the Emperor did not know that Wu Zhong was his man, and it was not his recommendation to appoint Wu Zhong as the commander-in-chief, so this time The defeat will not implicate him in any way.

He kept guessing all the way, wondering why His Majesty the Emperor summoned him.

When he arrived at the Royal Study Room, he first performed the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, and then turned his old eyes slightly to look at the situation. The figure of Wu Zhong prostrate on the ground immediately came into view.

Bai Tonggu's old heart twitched suddenly, and the first thought that came to his mind was that Wu Zhong had confessed what happened between them to His Majesty the Emperor?
But why did he do this?
Before he had time to think about it, the old emperor spoke slowly: "Bai Tonggu, Wu Zhong said that this defeat was all thanks to you."

There was no anger, no accusation, no emotion in his voice.

However, Bai Tonggu knew that once His Majesty the Emperor spoke like this, he was actually trying his best to suppress a certain emotion.

Bai Tonggu's thoughts changed rapidly. He didn't know what Wu Zhong said to His Majesty the Emperor, but no matter what he said, how could this defeat be attributed to him?
He sincerely hopes that the imperial court will win.

Bai Tonggu immediately knelt down tremblingly on the ground, touched his forehead to the ground and said, "I forgive you for being stupid and not understanding what your Majesty means."

The old emperor looked at Wu Zhong. Wu Zhong had just arrived. Before he could ask more questions, he said, "Wu Zhong, tell me."

Wu Zhong didn't know that the old emperor had already thought of pardoning him, assuming that the cause of this fiasco was Bai Tonggu's collusion with the rebels and secret information.The reason why he wants to drag Bai Tunggu into the water is because he can't swallow this breath. His promising future is ruined like this, all because Bai Tunggu misled him. Even if he dies, he will drag Bai Tonggu to be buried with him.

Wu Zhong was still prostrate on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, before the guilty minister went out to fight, Taifu Bai told the guilty minister that the rebel army in Qiongzhou was cultivated by him with the help of Prince Yi and Prince Chun, and they were just a group of refugees who did not have enough to eat. , has no fighting power at all, and the guilty minister’s expedition is just a waste of military merit..."

Bai Tonggu's heart trembled, he raised his head and yelled angrily: "It's full of nonsense. When did I ever say such things to you?"

The old emperor looked gloomy. Wu Zhong did not accuse Bai Tonggu of colluding with the rebels, which surprised him. He had always been doubtful about the fact that Prince Yi and Prince Chun cultivated the rebels in order to steal military glory. Now that Wu Zhong said this, he did not Determine whether the bite is intentional.

The old emperor was suspicious by nature and wondered whether this Wu Zhong was actually from Lu Ping's side?There is no way to escape the death penalty, so why don't you just make it true that the second and fourth sons cultivated rebels?

He frowned slightly and dismissed many thoughts in his mind. Anyway, he had already planned to get rid of this old guy Bai Tonggu. Did he care if he deliberately bit him?
The old emperor glanced at the old eunuch beside him.

The old eunuch walked up to Bai Tonggu, lifted his collar, raised his hand and said with a big mouth: "Master Bai, Your Majesty didn't ask you to speak."

Bai Tonggu's face turned red. After so many years of love, once they turned against each other, the king actually didn't give him any face.

The old eunuch said to Wu Zhong: "You continue."

Wu Zhong didn't know that he had missed his only chance to survive. Seeing Bai Tonggu being beaten, he felt much better and said: "Because of Bai Tonggu's words, the guilty ministers underestimated the enemy, which led to the tragic defeat. If your Majesty sends troops to redress, you must be cautious. The fighting power of that group of rebels cannot be underestimated."

The old emperor sneered, rubbed his eyebrows, and said nothing for a while. After a long time, he said: "Bring these two people to the Zhenwu Division for strict interrogation. I want to know the truth of the matter."

He only said that he wanted to know the truth of the matter, but he did not elaborate on the truth of what matter he wanted to know.

The old eunuch bowed and said, "Yes."

Bai Tonggu's old body trembled and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

The old emperor picked up the memorial on the desk and turned a deaf ear.

……

Prince Chun's Mansion.

In the study room, there were only two people, Prince Chun and his son.

Li Chengxian said: "Father, I have heard about Wu Zhong's name. He is a man of true talent and learning. How could this army fail so miserably?"

Prince Chun frowned in silence, and after a long time he murmured: "Could it be that he really has the ability to turn decay into something magical? Was it wrong to treat him like that in the first place?"

Li Chengxian lowered his eyelids and his eyes flickered. (End of chapter)
