Chapter 1042 It’s not too late to settle accounts after the fall
Suzaku asked at this time, "Lord Dragon, the cabinet wants you to return to the military headquarters within three days to receive your title. When are you going to go?"
"I think it's better to do it as soon as possible."
Qinglong took the words and said, "Now not only us, but the entire [Dragon Temple] soldiers are looking forward to your early return, Lord Dragon."
Xuanwu agreed, "Yes, yes, when I just went out, the soldiers under my command kept asking me, Dragon Lord, when are you going to receive the title!"
Chen Qi nodded slightly, "Since everyone is so looking forward to my return, let's do it tomorrow."
"But..." Chen Qi paused and raised his eyes slightly, "Before that, I need you to do something for me."
…
Chen Qi's re-appointment as Dragon God has become a hot topic in the entire military and military circles.
Even some concerned people who pay attention to the military and military circles on weekdays seem to be celebrating the New Year and celebrating the festival with great joy.
Maybe everyone didn't have an intuitive understanding of Chen Qi in the past, because since Chen Qi took office, [Dragon Temple] has always been the leading legendary force in the world today.
Many people are thinking that [Dragon Temple] is so powerful, even if it is led by another person, it should not be much different.
But, without comparison, there is no harm.
Not long ago, the [Dragon Temple] Dragon God changed ownership and was led by a new Dragon God. In one battle, nearly one hundred thousand [Dragon Temple] soldiers were killed or injured.
Only then did everyone understand that the reason why [Dragon Temple] is so strong is not only because of the cohesion, combat effectiveness, and discipline of this unit.
Having a strong leader is also crucial.
If things continue like this, [Dragon Temple] will be pulled off the altar sooner or later.
When the time comes, Luo Lone Ke will not only be an army, but also the safety of the entire Chinese nation.
This is unacceptable to the people who have long been accustomed to and are proud of China!
Therefore, everyone is hearing that the previous Dragon God is about to return to his throne.
They were naturally overjoyed inside.
The morning light is beginning to appear, and the autumn wind is miserable.
The slightly cooler north wind swept up pieces of withered yellow leaves on the ground.
In front of the Monument to the People's Heroes, a tall man stood quietly.
He was silent for a long time as he looked at the huge stone monument in front of the manager that had remained unchanged despite being weathered by wind and rain for hundreds of years.
At this time, I heard a rush of footsteps behind me and a few angry curses.
"What do you want to do?"
"I am the Dragon God in charge of the [Dragon Temple]! I am your boss, your immediate boss!"
"What did you arrest me for here? What mistake did I make!"
"You are committing the following crime. I must report this matter to the [Cabinet]. You just wait to be dealt with by military law!"
He was responsible for escorting the two people. His face was expressionless throughout the whole process, as if he was escorting a criminal, and he carried the man to the front of the steps.
"Dragon Lord, Shi Xinrong has been brought here!"
Shi Xinrong was startled and slowly raised his head.
Only then did he see clearly that the person standing in front of him was Chen Qi, whom he had always been afraid of hiding from.
Yesterday, in order to find out whether Chen Qi was about to be re-appointed as Dragon God, he had gone to his grandfather Shi Zhitong to confirm it in person.
As for whether things could turn around, Shi Zhitong said there was nothing he could do.
Perhaps Shi Zhitong also expected that after Chen Qi came to power, the first person he would have to deal with would be Shi Xinrong.
So Shi Zhitong asked Shi Xinrong to hide immediately and wait until the limelight passed before he came out again.
Shi Xinrong realized the seriousness of the matter and prepared to flee the capital overnight.
But halfway, he was intercepted.
The ones who took action were naturally Qinglong and Xuanwu.
This order was also issued by Chen Qi.
Seeing Chen Qi, Shi Xinrong was angry and scared.
"Chen, Chen Qi, how dare you do this to me?"
"I know you are about to be re-appointed as Dragon God today, but before that, I am still the commander of [Dragon Temple] and a general of the army!"
"You actually ordered someone to arrest me here without permission. How audacious!"
Facing Shi Xinrong's accusation, Chen Qi turned around indifferently.
Since he was on the steps, he looked at Shi Xinrong from a condescending manner.
"Then you know why I brought you here?"
"Why?"
Chen Qi slowly turned around and faced the hero monument, "This is to give an explanation to the one hundred thousand [Dragon Temple] soldiers who were killed by you."
Shi Xinrong's pupils condensed, Chen Qi's words could not be easier to understand.
Not long ago, Shi Xinrong led the [Dragon Temple] to fight against the [Tiangu Temple] provocative on the Chinese border. Due to improper command, tens of thousands of [Dragon Temple] soldiers were killed in vain.
Although he claimed to the outside world that this was a victory of far-reaching significance.
However, anyone with a little understanding will know that he is just covering his ears and making excuses for his failure.
Previously, due to Shi Xinrong's status, even those who were dissatisfied did not dare to accuse him.
But now, Chen Qi came to hold him accountable.
Shi Xinrong sneered, "What explanation?
What do you want me to explain?"
"Chen Qi, you must understand that serving the country with loyalty and dying in battle will always be the honor of a soldier!"
"Those [Dragon Temple] soldiers who died in battle were willing to risk their lives to protect their home and country. Why do you blame me?"
Chen Qi turned his back to Shi Xinrong, his tone was cold, and he still couldn't feel any emotion.
"I said that it is a soldier's honor to die in battle.
But even if you die, you should die with value."
"You could have avoided all this, but you insisted on your own opinion and let them lose their lives in vain."
"You said, if this is not your fault, who should be blamed?"
"Pooh!"
Shi Xinrong spat, "You are using strong words to make sense!"
"Chen Qi, don't think that I don't know. You are just resenting what I did to you before, so you found this excuse to avenge your personal revenge."
"Even if I am really at fault, it's not your turn to convict me. The cabinet hasn't said anything yet!"
Upon hearing this, Suzaku on the side sneered for a moment.
"I'm sorry, we have already informed the cabinet in advance about arresting you here.
In other words, Lord Dragon’s accusation against you has been tacitly approved by the cabinet.”
As soon as these words came out, they were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Shi Xinrong's head.
"No, this is impossible!"
Shi Xinrong howled, "My grandfather is one of the three elders in the cabinet, how could he agree..."
Suzaku shook his head, "Now that things have happened, do you still think about your grandfather?"
"Now that he is almost in trouble, how can he still take care of your affairs?"
"Your grandfather used his connections to promote a person with no ability to speak of to a high-ranking military position, and also caused such a huge loss to the [Dragon Temple]."
"Did you really think that the [Cabinet] would let him go so easily?"
