"Who are you talking about?" Emperor Li Qing raised his voice and even shouted sharply.
"Reporting to your Majesty, it's the general...Wangmen." The guard here said again.
The entire court was silent, and all the ministers looked at the guards in shock, as if they had heard something incredible.
Wasn't General Wangmen captured? They didn't believe the news at first. After all, they had just won two games in a row and were suddenly defeated. Of course, they didn't believe the battle reports they saw.
But they had confirmed the news. Not only the battle report sent by the deputy general, but also the news sent by their people in the army were basically the same, all confirming this matter.
So what's going on with the King's Gate now? What's even more strange is, why did he appear here in the Imperial City? Even if he ran out, shouldn't he go to the military camp?
"Xuan...he has an audience." Li Qing here was stunned for a moment, and then said to the guard.
The guards here quickly went to deliver the order, and after a while, Wangmen, who was not wearing armor but just a lining, came into the main hall with all the ministers' surprised and puzzled eyes.
"The guilty minister, Wangmen, pays homage to Your Majesty." The Wangmen here just came up and knelt down and said.
Li Qing also recognized his beloved general at this time. He looked confused and immediately asked: "How did the general come back? Why is he not in the military camp?"
"The guilty minister was careless and was indeed captured by the enemy. But in the middle of the night last night, a young knight from the Jianghu came forward, rescued me from the prison, and sent me back to the imperial city." Wang Men naturally said honestly.
.
To be honest, he didn't want to come back. He was naturally happy to be rescued, but of course he also wanted to return to the military camp as soon as possible after he was rescued. He didn't know what the situation was there, so he went back anxiously to check it out.
Woolen cloth.
In the end, I didn't expect that Chu Chengwen, no matter what I said, the other party insisted on bringing him back to the capital. The Wang Clan didn't want to come back at all, okay?
Wang Men's current identity is still a general. He is the marshal of the army that suppressed the rebellion this time. How can he leave the military camp and return to the capital now? What is this?
Besides, he had just lost a game and wanted to make up for it and fight again when he went back. If he just sent him back, wouldn't he have lost the chance to make amends? If he didn't come back, he would have to admit his guilt.
So when Chu Chengwen sent him back directly, Wang Men almost died of anger on the spot.
But Chu Chengwen doesn't care what the Wang Clan thinks. He's not going to participate in the war, so he won't get involved in whatever the war turns out to be.
He just wanted to help Wang Qingrou save his father, so he just brought Wang Men to Wang Qingrou safely.
As for staying there, he didn't know how to explain it clearly to Wang Qingrou. More importantly, if the Wang family was arrested again, would he still have to go there again?
He was injured this time, so he couldn't save people again and again, so he just brought them to Wang Qingrou.
That person has been brought back. What can the Wangmen do? Of course, they can only come to see the emperor immediately. Could it be possible that they had already arrived in the imperial city and deliberately refused to see the emperor, and then sneaked back by themselves? What if someone was
See, what sin did you say? It's pure disrespect.
So the Wangmen didn't even have time to change their clothes, so they came directly to the palace. These clothes were the same ones that were thrown into the prison yesterday, and they were still stained with all kinds of dirt.
"General Wang, do you still have the nerve to come back?" At this time, the man next to him said, thinking that the minister was a bit sinister. Of course, the Wang family made many enemies in the court, but they were deeply trusted by the emperor. At this time, the matter was messed up, of course.
Someone showed up to add insult to injury.
Normally, Wang Men's violent temper would be rebuffed on the spot, but this time he really had nothing to say and knelt there with his head lowered without any retort.
"Tell me, how did you lose?" The emperor here didn't have a tone of voice when he spoke, and he couldn't tell that he was angry, but he was definitely not amiable either.
Naturally, Wang Clan had no reservations and quickly told everyone how he was defeated. When the previous deputy general reported the situation, his report was not so complete. After all, most of the troops he led at that time were
He withdrew before crossing the bridge. In fact, he didn't really know what happened on the other side, he only knew the result.
It wasn't until Wang Men explained it in detail that the emperor and ministers here knew exactly what happened.
"Fourth brother is quite capable..." Li Qing said with a frown after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, such an ingenious plan is probably not the work of the prince...the traitor Li Ying." A minister next to him said, "I heard before that Linton, who is known as the God of War, is now working on the traitor Li Ying.
In the overflowing army, this may be his plan."
"That's right, the guilty minister thinks so too. This doesn't seem to be Li Ying's handiwork." Wang Men here has also figured it out. He probably didn't lose to Li Ying. After all, the opponent was defeated by him two times in a row.
He was beaten to the point where his armor was thrown away. And yesterday's sudden counterattack didn't look like Li Ying's method at all. How could anyone think of himself as such? Even if it was the one called the God of War, he could still accept it.
"So that's it...the God of War? It's a pity that such talents can't be used by me." Li Qing said angrily.
After saying that, he looked down at the King's Gate. For a moment, he didn't know what to do with the King's Gate. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "I have just sent someone to pass the order and ordered the Fourteenth Emperor's Uncle to command the entire army..."
"The guilty minister only wishes to make amends for his past mistakes, and is willing to serve as a pawn for the Fourteenth Emperor." Wang Men here said quickly. Of course he dared to say that he still wanted to be a marshal, but he didn't think he was so shameless, so he followed Li Qing's advice.
meaning said.
Li Qing nodded slightly, he indeed thought so. The order to make the Fourteenth Emperor's uncle the commander-in-chief was sent out. Of course, he could not change it immediately, but Wang Men was a general he trusted, and of course he was not prepared to give up.
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. General Wang doesn't need to worry too much." Seeing that Wang Men was so understanding, Li Qing was just about to put it down gently, when suddenly another guard rushed in eagerly.
"Your Majesty, someone is coming from Cang Qing Mountain!" the guard said urgently.
"Cang Qing Mountain?" Li Qing frowned. Of course, he was also worried about the current situation on Cang Qing Mountain. He originally wanted to capture the rebels quickly, but before the defeat was over, the enemy really came.
.
Are you really planning to end it personally? Or are you planning to negotiate with them? Li Qing was worried and asked directly: "Did they say what they were going to do next?"
"I heard that they are here to hold me accountable," the guard said.
"Accountability?" When Li Qing heard this, he suddenly became angry.
