Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 97
After Li Song sent Princess Wannian back to the palace, he returned to Tiance Mansion.

After returning to Tiance Mansion, Li Song did not go to his office, but headed towards the backyard where his family lived. On the way to the backyard, he was stopped by a soldier.

"Report to Lord Hou! The Shangshu ordered Lord Liu and Master Xu, the imperial historian, to ask to see Lord Hou!"

Liu Bowen and Xu Maogong came to look for me together, what happened?Li Song's first thought was that something serious happened. Generally speaking, if there was no serious problem, they would not come to him together.

Li Song looked in front of him and said to the respectful soldier, "Where are you two adults now?"

"Return to Lord Hou! The two adults are now waiting for Lord Hou in the council hall!"

"Okay! Got it!" After Li Song finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the council hall.

Tiance Mansion discusses major military affairs in the Council Hall, Li Song handles public affairs in the Government Office, receives outsiders in the reception room, and there are other offices for subordinate officials at all levels, and the Council Hall is in the center of the front yard.

"My lord!" Li Song came outside the council hall, and the guards bowed to salute. Liu Bowen and Xu Maogong heard the guards' voices, and immediately got up and looked out of the hall, only to see Li Song stepping in.

"Meet the lord!" The two bowed and saluted.

Li Song came to the main seat and sat down, motioning for the two to sit down and talk. After they sat down, Li Song asked, "I don't know if you two came to look for me, but something important happened."

"It's nothing serious! It's just that the two of us heard that the lord and the princess came back together today! The two of us came to see the lord!" Xu Maogong said, they didn't just come back together. In the eyes of some people, they were simply "Lang A concubine's intention".

Li Song looked at Xu Maogong suspiciously, and came here to look for him, just for this matter?This is too childish!Li Song was a little displeased!

"That's right! The two of you are here! Just for this?"

"Of course not! This is just a casual question!" Liu Bowen said, "Just now, I received a report from spies! Yang Feng sent troops and Han Siam led troops to Dingling County, Yingchuan County. Return to Liang County."

"When did it happen?" Li Song asked with confusion, "Why didn't Dingling County report it? Also, why didn't the counties along the way report Yang Feng's departure from Liang County?"

"Yang Feng had the 'false festival axe' bestowed by the emperor in his hand, and the magistrates did not dare to stop him, so he went all the way to Dingling County, and after some looting, he was able to escape unscathed." Liu Bowen said.

"Then, why didn't Yang Feng plunder nearby, and insisted on being spared so far, and ran to this Dingling County?" Li Song was puzzled.

"My lord! The surrounding counties of Yingchuan County, which is the closest to Liang County, were looted and plundered as early as when He Yi, Liu Pi and others occupied Yingchuan, and there was nowhere to plunder. Come from Dingling County," Liu Bowen said.

"Besides, there are many big families in Dingling County, so they are naturally good targets for plunder." Xu Maogong took over the words and said, "In this way, the officials in Dingling County must not dare to hide it. I think the messengers in Dingling County should Coming."

"Okay! Send the order down! The army is preparing for war. After the urgent report from Dingling County is delivered, I will report to the emperor, send troops to attack Yang Feng, and take back Henan County." Li Song took the case. This is really a golden opportunity to solve Yang Feng. .

After discussing for a while, the three of them dispersed, and Li Song continued to go back to the backyard.

When he went to court the next morning, Li Song went up to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty! General Chariot and Marquis Yang Feng, who disregarded the law and discipline, set up troops to plunder in Dingling County, causing the common people to live in poverty. This is a debt of grace!"

"Your Majesty, I will send you an edict! I will punish Yang Feng, cut off all his positions and titles, and take back the fake festival axe."

"Wait a minute! Sir Sikong, do you have any evidence to prove the fact that General Chariots and Cavalry looted with his troops? What's more, Lunshi County of Yingchuan County is the closest to Liang County.

"Why do you want to look far away! Let the nearest Lun family not plunder, and travel thousands of miles to Dingling County to plunder, it is simply ridiculous!"

"Lord Sikong, do you know what crime you should be guilty of for framing an important official of the court for no reason!" Not long after he was promoted to General Cheqi, Dong Cheng, the patriarch of the state who had a conflict of interest with Li Song, stood up and accused him.

"Of course I know! What is the crime of framing an important official of the court! You don't need to be reminded by the head of state!" Li Song looked at Dong Cheng, who was confronting him tit for tat, and felt very upset. He wanted to convict me so much, and said loudly.

"What's more, if I don't have definite evidence, I will frame him, Yang Feng. You all think highly of him, Yang Feng!"

Li Song turned his head and bowed to Liu Xie who was sitting on the throne, "Your Majesty! I have an urgent report on the magistrate of Dingling County here! Please check it out, Your Majesty!"

Li Song took out a bamboo slip from his arms and held it over his head. Yang Wu quickly walked down the stairs, took the bamboo slip in Li Song's hand, returned to Liu Xie, and handed the bamboo slip to Liu Xie.

"Hmph! Yang Fengpiao! You have failed me!" Liu Xie said angrily after seeing it.

"Your Majesty! This..." Dong Cheng looked at Liu Xie in disbelief, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"Look for yourself!" Liu Xie threw the bamboo slips on the ground. Dong Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to pick them up and opened them. He was shocked by the contents. How can looting and destruction be summed up in one word?

Dong Cheng felt uncomfortable at this moment. After handing the bamboo slips to Li Song, he stood back to his position silently without saying a word. His actions just now made him feel ashamed and threw him to his grandma's house. He actually defended a vicious murderer .

"Your Majesty!" Yilang Dong Zhao came out and saluted Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, my lord! Dismiss Lun and other officials from all counties that Yang Feng passed through, and investigate and deal with them! Just as a warning to others!"

"Dong Aiqing is right! Let Dong Aiqing handle this matter!" Liu Xie said, "Li Aiqing! The matter of conquering Yang Feng will be handled by you."

"Promise! I obey the order!" Dong Zhao and Li Song bowed and saluted.

"I don't know when Li Sikong can leave? Yang Feng has a hidden danger every day!" Dong Cheng stood up and said.

"I'll order the general immediately, and I can set off! I can decapitate Yang Feng in less than a month and bring his head back." Li Song said without looking at Dong Cheng.

"It seems! Master Li is already prepared!" Dong Cheng said with a strange air. As a general who has led the army, he naturally knows how difficult it is to mobilize the army. It will take time to prepare for such matters as food and grass. How can it be completed in a short time.

"Share Your Majesty's worries! It's our duty as a courtier! Naturally, we must always be prepared to share your Majesty's worries." Li Song said.

"Okay!" Liu Xie shouted loudly, but Dong Cheng didn't dare to say anything, "Let's retreat!"

"If there is something to do, let's play! If there is nothing to do, leave the court!" Yang Wu shouted loudly, and all the officials immediately knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, wait a moment!"

Under Yang Wu's service, Liu Xie walked towards the outside of the hall. When he passed between Dong Cheng and Li Song, he glanced at Dong Cheng and walked away.
