Chapter 326: Drag him out and give him fifty lashes of the cane
As soon as he said this, it seemed like a thunder struck suddenly.
The hall suddenly became quiet.
General Rong's face was extremely ugly, and he looked at the speaker with angrily eyes: "General Xuan is so ungrateful?"
Others also unconsciously glanced at General Xuan, who rarely spoke harshly, with a subtle and strange expression.
"General, I used to be very polite about words. It was because General Rong went crazy in the hall several times, so I couldn't help but use foul language." General Xuan frowned and looked at him displeased, "General Rong, this It’s like taking the wrong medicine for a few days. The emperor is kind, and the queen is in a good mood because of her daughter’s return. Unlike you, General Kerong always seems to be making progress!”
General Rong's face turned pale: "You——"
"The Queen said that the eldest princess is talented, you refuted the queen, saying that women are humble and should be men's vassals; the emperor praised the eldest princess for her courage, you refuted the emperor and said that the eldest princess' true emperor has returned, it is all a rumor "Today, a distinguished guest from the Southern Kingdom arrived to personally bring the friendly wishes of Her Majesty the Queen of the Southern Kingdom. General Rong is still here to question King Yu's words." General Xuan sneered, "The Priests of the Southern Kingdom are in awe of all the states, and no one has ever questioned the words of the high priest." Is General Rong really stupid and ignorant, or does he deliberately want to stir up discord between the Southern Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom and create war risks for the Jin Kingdom? "
As soon as his hat was pulled down, General Rong's face turned pale, and he finally knelt down: "I never dare to have such an intention. I beg your Majesty to see clearly!"
"General Rong is older, but less courageous, and his brain is a little weak." Emperor Wen said in a calm voice, "Starting from today, the power of the Gyeonggi Guard in General Rong will be handed over to Yan Li."
As soon as the words fell to the ground, General Rong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body froze on the ground, unable to respond.
"Father!" Yan Chen's face turned pale and he knelt down to beg for mercy. "General Rong dared to raise the questions in his heart. He didn't mean to make fun of his father and queen, nor did he mean to disrespect the envoy. I hope that my father - —”
"My decision has been made." Emperor Wen interrupted him, his attitude more tough than ever before, "I will hand over the military talisman and waist badge today."
There was a dead silence in the main hall.
Yan Chen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, unable to believe what he heard.
With just such words, General Rong lost the power of the Gyeonggi Guard and commanded the army?
Did the father completely drive away all the princes?
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with me?" General Rong was obviously dissatisfied. He raised his head and looked at Emperor Wen with a question in his voice, "I, these 뎃s are so loyal and loyal. They guard Shengjing like iron barrels. They dare not slack off even if they have no merit. Even if I have no merit, I still have to suffer. "Thank you, because I dare to raise questions in the palace, the emperor will wipe out everything I have done in the past?"
"General Rong has meritorious service. The Emperor and I have never denied it. Isn't General Rong's current favor given by the Emperor?" Jiang Yi's expression was cold and hard, and her eyes were filled with a frightening sense of oppression. "However, General Rong has so much power. In the end, It’s because I can’t see my identity clearly.”
"The vastness of the world belongs to the king's land; the shores of the land belong to the king's ministers."
"From the first day the eldest princess came back, you have been against her at every turn. Even now, when her ability, courage, decisiveness, and responsibility are all in front of you, you still deny her and belittle her at every turn."
"The emperor and my daughter, are you so disdainful?"
"The eldest princess is the king, and you are the minister. The following offenses will be said to be disrespectful to others, and treason to others to be serious. Your Majesty is undermining General Rong's military power. How dare you complain here?"
The rebuke was like the sound of thunder. After Jiang Yi said the last sentence, he suddenly ordered: "Come here! General Rong despised the court several times and was disrespectful to the eldest princess. He dragged her away and beat her fifty times!"
Xuan Nanfeng took the order and led several people into the palace, dragging General Rong 깊눕 like wolves and tigers.
"Your Majesty, Queen, I refuse to submit!" Rong Ao was still shouting when he was about to die, struggling to break away from the guards, "I am a meritorious minister! The Emperor cannot deprive me of my military power. Your Majesty, Your Majesty - ah!"
A howl sounded, which was the effect of the Royal Forest Army's board falling.
There was silence in the main hall, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Yan Chen's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground as stiff as a stone sculpture. He seemed to have lost all hope.
A cry of pain from outside entered the hall, the only sound in this oppressive silence.
After a long time, Jiang Yi calmed down and said, "Starting from now on, the eldest princess will take charge of the Gyeonggi Guard. Is there anyone else who is dissatisfied?"
All the civil and military officials in the court looked at each other quietly, all bowing their eyebrows and saying nothing.
Apparently no one dared to dissent.
"Just now, General Cairong kept saying that he was indispensable, and I acknowledge it." Jiang Yi adjusted herself to a comfortable posture, her voice was calm and majestic, "Your Majesty, these people are tolerant and kind, and rule the world with benevolence. Although I am strong, I never do anything. It is fair and just. Those who have made merit will never be stingy with rewards and promotions, and those who make mistakes will be punished. You should all see it in your eyes. "
Prime Minister Ji knelt down and said: "The Emperor is not in good health, but he governs the country with benevolence; the Queen is decisive and fair, and the ministers are convinced!"
Other ministers knelt down one after another and expressed their loyalty impassionedly: "The emperor is tolerant and kind, the empress is wise and wise, and I am convinced!"
All civil and military officials from the court knelt on the ground, leaving aside the distinguished guests from the south. King Yu, dressed in white, really stood out from the crowd, like a banished immortal who had descended into the mortal world.
Yan Li turned to look at him, their eyes met. There was a well-placed smile on King Yu's lips, and his eyes were bright.
Yan Li coughed silently and calmly looked away.
"General Rong and General Xuan are in the same court. They are both first-class generals. I have never been impartial and treated them fairly." Jiang Yi looked around the ministers in the palace. Wherever his eyes passed, the strong pressure made people tremble. "However, As you all have seen, General Rong is in charge of the Gyeonggi Guard. He is arrogant and arrogant in every aspect. He has a posture of supporting the army and respecting himself. He even refuted the eldest princess in public on many occasions in the court. I tolerated him time and time again. He But every time we make progress!”
The ministers said in unison: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Queen, please calm down!"
King Feather continues to stand out from the flock, standing calmly.
The Empress continued to show off her power: "The legitimate son of the Rong family usually does not do his job properly. He gets entangled with a group of military generals and behaves randomly, causing trouble everywhere. He is a playboy and refuses to change his bad habits. The Rong family cannot escape the blame for this incident in Peach Blossom Mountain!"
After a pause, "If I continue to condone this, I will be indifferent to the laws of the Jin Kingdom and treat the court's rules and dignity as nothing!"
King Yu nodded slowly, yes.
If the tiger doesn't show off its power, they will all treat you as a sick cat.
Therefore, fight when necessary, kill when necessary, and seize military power when necessary.
Whether it is a self-respecting military general in the court or an important minister who relies on his elders to show off his talents, if you deal with them several times one after another, it is guaranteed that everyone else will behave like a cat in an instant.
