Concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion: Abandoned concubine is not easy to mess with

Chapter 297
At the same time, Luo Yin led most of Beijiao's army to face the Nanming army that came out of Lei Tingguan. Because of their equal strength, they were evenly matched at the beginning. The cavalry rushed wildly in the Bei'an camp, burned down the Bei'an camp, and attacked the Bei'an army from behind.

This battle lasted until dawn. Nangong Yu used a trick to disrupt the Beijia camp, burn Beijia's food and grass, and then surrounded the Beijia army from behind, causing the Beijia army to suffer heavy losses.The price of the night battle is that both losers. Beiyan lost nearly 10 people, and Nanming also lost nearly 6 to [-] people. This can be regarded as a miracle in the history of war.

At dawn, Luo Yin and Huo Lan fled with the rebel army. Although they broke through Nanming's encirclement, they lost their fighting power. Because of the loss of food and grass, Beijiao's army had to retreat to Yongcheng, waiting for the court's assistance.

Although Nan Ming suffered heavy losses, he won a chance to rest for himself.If it wasn't for the delay in the arrival of the court's food and grass, Nangong Yu would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue it. However, without food and grass, they would not dare to rush forward. Moreover, now that Nanming is troubled by internal and external troubles, and without strong backup, Nangong Yu can only adopt a conservative combat attitude.

"My lord, do you really want to go back to the capital?" After returning from the great victory, Xia Houli looked as usual. It wasn't because he was unhappy, but because the follow-up food and grass had not arrived, and the food and grass in Lei Tingguan could only last for half a month at most.

"If this king doesn't go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for your food and grass!" Nan Gongyu experienced a fierce battle all night, although there was a trace of fatigue between his brows, it did not affect his mental state.

"What is Yun Gan trying to do? Doesn't he know that once the Thunder Gate is breached, the whole of Nanming will fall?" Xia Houshi punched the table, aggrieved.

"He just wants to target me. He wants to force me to go back, and then seize the opportunity to seize the military power of the Zhenbei Army!" Nangong Yu had known Yun Gan's plan for a long time. If he had no food, he had to go back. Gan can take this opportunity to replace the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army.However, he knew that this was a trap, so he had to go back, because he wanted to settle that bad debt with Yun Gan.

"Well, isn't the prince throwing himself into a trap when he goes back?" Xia Houli didn't think much of it, only thinking that Yun Gan was trying to drag them down. Now it seems that Yun Gan's plan is not small.

"Just because he still can't do anything to me, after this king leaves, no matter who comes to take over the military power, you don't care, if the other party wants to grab it by force, kill him!" Nangong Yu was able to assist three generations of kings and had his own power in the court. What's more, he is the legitimate descendant of the Nangong family. Yungan is a foreign relative with a dishonorable name and cannot get the support of the ministers and the people.
"Report!" A guard came in, knelt on the ground and cupped his hands to report, "Report to the lord, the 50 troops from southern Xinjiang are heading towards the capital!"

"Nanjiang? What's the matter?" Nangong Yu lifted the corner of his robe and sat on the chair, his expression was still calm as usual, but there was some doubt in his eyes.It was Shen Jie who recommended Kuiyu to guard the southern border at the beginning, and it was because of Shen Jie that he was relieved, but now, the southern border army turned against him?
"Grand En Guo put Prime Minister Shen's family in prison for committing a crime, and they will be executed tomorrow. When Kuiyu learned about this, he immediately dispatched troops to the Liusha River, claiming that if Duke En Guo did not let Prime Minister Shen go, he would be killed." Invade the capital!" The guards had just received an urgent report, and they were still panting because they ran so fast.

"Yun Gan, it's you again!" Nangong Yu slapped his palm on the chair, staring angrily at the front, no wonder Kui Yu turned back, Yun Gan arrested Shen Jie, how could Kui Yu not turn back.Is Yungan planning to destroy Nanming?
"Immediately order a thousand soldiers, and follow me to the capital immediately!" Nangong Yuchen got up and strode out of the camp.

"Yes!"

A day later, on the execution platform in the northern part of the capital, Shen Jie and the members of the Shen family knelt on the black wooden platform, wearing white prison uniforms, and staring firmly ahead.A row of executioners stood beside the members of the Shen family, each holding a gleaming big knife, their bodies covered in flesh.

Outside the execution platform, a circle of winged guards blocked the onlookers at fifty paces. On the tower and the street not far away, the three inner floors and outer three floors of the winged guards surrounded the entire execution ground airtight.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Shen Jie, as a minister of Nanming, did not want to repay the favor of the emperor, but colluded with Beiyan, betrayed the country for glory, and committed a heinous crime. He punished and killed the nine clans, men, women, and children will not be pardoned!" He is an official recently promoted by Yungan. He is good at flattering and flattering, and Yungan appreciates him very much.

"How could Prime Minister Shen collude with Beijiao? After the flood and plague, Prime Minister Shen came to the scene in person to petition for our common people. Prime Minister Shen must have been wronged!" A commoner looked at the execution ground in puzzlement and saw Standing in front of an executioner was a child about three years old. His small body was upright and his expression was proud. He did not look like a three-year-old child at all. Another woman was holding a child less than one year old in her arms. Exclaimed.

"Yes, Prime Minister Shen loves the people like a son, understands the suffering of the people, is upright and upright, how could he collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"

"Didn't the law of Nanming say that boys under fourteen only need to be sent to the army? Why do children under the age of one have to be killed too?"

"That's right, it's too cruel. Look at how cute that three-year-old child is. Alas, what a pity!"

"The new emperor is too young to be in charge, and his relatives monopolize power and frame Zhongliang. We refuse to accept it!" At this time, a group of students came slowly from not far away, shouting slogans as they walked.

"The new emperor is too young to be in charge, and his relatives monopolize power and frame Zhongliang, we will not accept it!" Along the way, these students shouted slogans, ignoring the blockade of the wing guards, and rushed towards the execution platform without fear.

"Go back, if you don't quit, shoot and kill!" These students are all famous, not ordinary people, and the wing guards dare not really hurt these people, so they have to keep these students out of the circle.

After hearing what the students said, some of the people who were watching the fun also booed, "That's right, Prime Minister Shen is upright and upright. He loves the people like a son, so he can't be killed!"

"Yes, you can't kill!" For a while, most of the people in the execution ground started to make noise.

"Back, back!" The young general of Yu Yiwei is also a son of a dignitary in Beijing. To be honest, they all know the recent situation. The ministers were all excluded and berated, and Shen Jie's case was probably an unjust one.Therefore, when the people were making trouble, the little general deliberately released water to prevent the wing guards from hurting people.

"Prime Minister Shen can't be killed, let Prime Minister Shen go!" The students became more and more noisy, and some of them had already broken through the blockade and ran to the execution platform, "Brothers and sisters, Prime Minister Shen's family has been loyal for generations. The prime minister's father and more than 200 members of the Shen family were framed and died on this execution platform. Today, no matter what, we cannot allow the tragedy to repeat itself. The Shen family is innocent!"

"Yes, Prime Minister Shen was wronged!" Many students broke through the blockade and ran to the execution platform.

Seeing this scene, the executioners retreated one after another, not daring to confront the students head-on. These students are all students of Hanyu Academy, and everyone has a reputation, so how could they provoke them.

"You guys, are you going to rebel?" The little official who came to deliver the decree shrank behind the wing guard in fright, but still pretended to be fierce and yelled at the students.

"Hmph, you dog official, it's the treacherous officials like you who are in power, which makes the government's orders unreasonable, loyal officials wronged, the people suffer, and the country is not peaceful." A student pointed at the small official and yelled angrily, "Dog officer, we are going to fight for you today. Eliminate harm from the people!"

"Yes, eliminate harm for the people!" The other students rushed towards the little official after hearing what the student said.

The winged guards were already dissatisfied, so they deliberately gave way to the passage at this time. The students were not blocked, and they arrested the little official and forced the little official to kneel on the ground, "Quick, order the release of Prime Minister Shen's family!"

"No, no, I'm just a decree, I don't have that power!" The little official was really frightened, knelt on the ground trembling, and kept begging for mercy, "Please, please forgive me!"

"Mr. En Guo is here!" At this time, a group of people drove slowly not far away. The leader was the leader of the wing guards, followed by Yun Gan in a purple python robe and several court officials.

The students heard the sound of the notification, but they did not release the officer because of this, but stood on the execution platform with their heads held high.

"Come on, anyone who dares to stop the execution and cause trouble will be killed!" Yun Gan rode his horse to the execution platform, staring coldly at Shen Jie and the troublesome students on the platform, "Shen Jie, How many people are you looking for to accompany you when you are dying, don't you think you are too selfish?"

Shen Jie has been quietly watching the changes in the situation. What happened today is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface. He has never contacted the students, and these students are not familiar with him.Moreover, he had specifically told Wang Xiu in advance not to take risks like last time, so who instigated these students?What is the purpose?

"Yungan, do you think you can cover the sky with one hand? Whether I, Shen Jie, is innocent or not is not something you can judge with a few words, and history will give us Shen Jie justice!" Although Shen Jie was kneeling on the ground, his back was straight. Straightforward, upright people can not be ignored.

"Really, okay, I'll give you a good time!" What Yun Gan dislikes the most is people like Shen Jie. Shen Jie prostrated at his feet, "Come here, execute!"

"Yes!" Ordinary petty officials can't manage the country's affairs. In their opinion, whoever is in power can decide their fate, and they just listen to whoever is in charge.Although the wing guards also complained for Shen Jie, but there were too many such things, and these little guards couldn't change anything at all.

"Wait!" At this time, a deep voice came from not far away, and everyone's eyes focused on a man in purple clothes not far away.The man was none other than Nangong Bo who was imprisoned.

"Nangong Bo, have you forgotten that you are now wearing a crime?" Yun Gan sneered, dismissing Nangong Bo's recent tricks in the dark.

"Yungan, what is the crime of this king?" Nangong Bo walked slowly to Yungan on horseback, followed by some officials and the elders of the Nangong family, "This king left Beijing without authorization and did not return to the fief. This king thinks about his mistakes behind closed doors, this king is still Xian Wang, and is still the uncle of the new emperor!"

"That's right, Mr. En Guo, although the late emperor appointed you as the auxiliary minister, but as the uncle of the new emperor and a member of the Nangong family, King Xian is qualified to enter the court to discuss state affairs!" An old minister rode a horse and stood behind Nangong Bo. , showing support for Nangong Bo.In fact, they have no choice. Although Nangong Bo has problems, even though he has rebelled, at least he is still a member of the Nangong family. It is better than letting the imperial power fall into the hands of a foreign relative like Yungan.

"Yun Gan, as a minister of the government, you only have the right to help the government. You didn't go through the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishments for Shen Jie's collusion with the enemy and betrayed the country. You directly convicted Shen Jie. This is exceeding your authority. Shen Jie, as a loyal prince , first-rank prime minister, among the third princes, if you really want to convict him, you must have three trials, and then the regent appointed by the ancestor emperor will come back and decide together!" Nangong Bo looked at Yungan proudly, for this naive Yun family elder The son really felt bad.It's ridiculous that he wants to control the court just by a relative with no foundation.
