"From ancient times to the present, there has never been a special case of a military officer being promoted to a civil official!" Li Zong was annoyed in his heart, and casually replied to the eunuch: Civil servants and military officials are completely different in nature. Since the founding of Southern Xinjiang, both It was civil servants who were promoted to civilian posts, military officers to military posts, and Gong Qianyu actually let him be promoted to a civil servant from a military officer, really... bad intentions.
The eunuch's face darkened instantly, and he looked at Li Zongdao coldly: "General Li means that he doesn't want to be promoted!"
"The last general doesn't dare, the last general just thinks that this method of promotion is too special..." Li Zong said in a low voice.
The eunuch snorted disdainfully: "His Royal Highness is wise and decisive, and every decision he made was extremely correct. He made you a high-ranking eunuch, so he respected you. General, don't be ashamed..."
"Shut up!" Li Zong's complexion was dark, and he subconsciously retorted sharply. After he said the words, he realized that he had caused trouble.
The eunuch's eyes ignited raging anger, and he yelled angrily: "Li Zong, who are you telling to shut up? Our family came here at the order of the crown prince. If you reprimand our family, you are scolding the crown prince. You are so impatient. How dare you refute the words of His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Li Zong's face was ashen, and the hands under the sleeves were clenched tightly, the knuckles turned white, and the veins on the back of the hands were protruding...
The chief eunuch was still relentless and humiliated to the utmost: "You are a wilderness in the countryside. It is your blessing that His Highness the Crown Prince values you. You dare to refute it. You really don't know how to flatter you..."
A lieutenant couldn't stand it anymore, strode forward, and said sharply: "My father-in-law, General Li is a general in the army appointed by the emperor himself, how can you allow you to insult me wantonly!"
The eunuch snorted disdainfully: "General Li doesn't know how to praise, our family is just educating him for His Royal Highness, how can we insult him..."
"General Li is a martial artist. Spear-wielding and club-wielding are his specialty, but word-speaking is his weakness. His Royal Highness asked him to be the eunuch. Is it for his own good, or is it because he wants to see his jokes and humiliate him?" The deputy general looked gloomy. , every word.
"The intention of His Royal Highness is that we slaves can figure it out at will. His Highness asked General Li to be promoted to the Imperial Guard, and General Li will honestly become the Imperial Guard. What are you talking about so much nonsense..." the eunuch said leisurely , full of disapproval.
"It's really a strange decision to let a general who fights in the battlefield become a Taibao who stays at home. His Royal Highness doesn't really want to be good for General Li, but to seize power..." The deputy general said righteously, A dark light flashed at the bottom of his eyes.
"You don't care what His Highness the Crown Prince wants to do, you just carry out His Highness the Crown Prince's orders..." The chief eunuch's eyes flickered unnaturally, and his voice was deliberately raised, revealing a guilty conscience that could not be concealed.
The lieutenant snorted disdainfully: "If His Highness the Crown Prince is a good Crown Prince who wholeheartedly serves the country and the people, we will naturally obey his words, but what is he doing now? He is intriguing and trying to figure it out, just because we had such a small relationship with Prince Rui. For a small matter, he will seize our power and replace our general. If he is more narrow-minded, wouldn't he want to kill all of our 50,000 soldiers..."
"That's right, you are just lowly ants, your life is as cheap as worthless, His Royal Highness is the high prince, if he doesn't like you, just one word, you all have to go to the palace of the king of hell..." the eunuch Speaking arrogantly, his eyes glanced at a soldier in armor, his eyes and brows were full of contempt.
The lieutenant general's eyes froze, he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, swiped it across the neck of the eunuch, and shouted angrily: "You...you are too deceitful!"
The sharp blade was pressed against the eunuch's neck, and the cold air seeped into his skin, causing him to shiver fiercely. He had no doubts at all, as long as he dared to move, the long sword would immediately cut through his neck neck.
He has lived in the palace all year round, pampered and pampered. He has never seen such a dangerous scene. His body trembled slightly, and he said stammeringly: "What are you doing... Our family is sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... You are forcing our family with a sword... ... Do you want to rebel?"
Looking at his frightened eyes, the lieutenant smiled strangely: "You are right, we just want to rebel!"
With a sudden force on his wrist, there was a "swipe" sound, and the head of the eunuch flew into the air in an instant. Looking at his headless body, his eyes were wide open, and the bottom of his eyes was full of shock: No, no, they It was negotiated, but this is obviously not the result...
Looking at this shocking scene, the soldiers stood still for a long time like petrification...
"Killed, killed!" The two servants were the first to react, screaming and running out.
Li Zongru just woke up from a dream, looking at the blood on the ground and the corpse with a different head, he frowned tightly: "Why did you kill him?"
He also hated that eunuch very much, and wished to cut him into pieces, but that eunuch was sent by the prince, and his status was extraordinary, so killing him would cause a catastrophe.
"General, Taigong Qianyu has extraordinary abilities, but is narrow-minded, completely disregarding the suffering of the people, and only knows how to eliminate differences. How can such a person be a generation of Mingjun?" The deputy general said in a low voice, with a righteous look.
Li Zong stared: "What do you mean?"
"What the prince has done has already caused turmoil in the court, and all the officials complained, but there is no suitable breaking point. Let's go to the ministers who are highly respected and respected, and join forces with them to arrest the prince, and restore the court to stability. Rest assured!" The lieutenant paused every word, his eyes serious.
"Is this... feasible?" Li Zong frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, Gong Qianyu has provoked public anger, and there will definitely be many ministers willing to help us." The deputy general said loudly, his eyes full of pride.
Li Zong pondered for a moment, then looked at him lightly: "Then which courtier are we going to find?"
The deputy general's gaze sank: "Go to the Song Mansion and find General Song. His younger brother is the Minister of War, and his nephew is Prince Rui. There are enough reasons to enter the palace to capture the crown prince..."
Li Zong's eyes were gloomy, the eunuch died in his barracks, even if he didn't kill him, he still couldn't get away from it, instead of dying at the hands of Gong Qianyu, it's better to give it a go!
With a glare in his eyes, he looked down at the soldiers and said: "Everyone, please follow me to find General Song, and then, enter the palace and capture the crown prince. After that, we will reward you for your merits."
"Yes!" The soldiers shouted loudly, wearing armor and holding their long swords tightly, followed Li Zong out of the barracks, and went straight to the Song Mansion in the capital.
The lieutenant general was sitting on a tall horse, looking back at the dead body of the eunuch, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth...
