King Xian said: "No! I can never just watch that dog emperor treat General Long like this! I must find a way!"
Prince Ming shrugged and said, "His martial arts and wisdom are almost the same as yours. You understand him and he understands it. If he doesn't cooperate with you, what can you do?"
King Xian said: "Didn't General Long's daughter happen to have a relationship with Xu Qing?! Let's just let Xu Qing and the Long family have a marriage. I don't believe it. With Chu State here, your dog emperor dares to interfere!"
King Ming was surprised and said, "What is the relationship between General Long and you? Even your son-in-law can be sacrificed?"
The wise king hummed: "General Long is our good general in the Central Plains, how can he suffer such unjust injustice!"
King Ming; "You are righteous."
Wise King: "No need to praise!"
Prince Ming continued, "Then doesn't this prove that General Long is guilty? Marrying a princess is called a marriage, and what is this behavior called when the daughter of a leading general marries to another country? You don't know, right?"
Wise King: "What do I call him? Isn't it enough for him to live?"
Prince Ming said: "You are speaking lightly, but the reputation of the Long family has been ruined! The original innocence has turned into treason. Besides, what can you say without reading the intelligence? The emperor even treated Long Wu's cronies
Using secret tactics, can your son-in-law marry these people’s daughters as well? Or can you ensure that they all have daughters to marry? Do you think this is what Long Wu wants to see? "
King Xian: "Could it be that I, the King, just watch helplessly as Long Wu falls into a place of eternal destruction?"
King Ming looked at King Xian and asked: "He is anxious, short of breath, and can't speak clearly. This is not like the King of Chu. Why do you care so much about General Long? Have you met him? Do you know what he looks like?"
The wise king: "..."
…
Zhao Guo
After General Long arrived in the capital, he ordered his personal guards not to accompany him, and then walked to the palace alone.
But he didn't want to. Long Wu was about to enter the palace but was stopped by Qin Xiang and others in front of the palace gate.
Long Wu looked at Prime Minister Qin and the imperial guards behind him and asked, "Why did Prime Minister Qin prevent me from entering the palace to meet the Holy Spirit?"
Prime Minister Qin said: "The supervisory censor discovered that the general had misbehaved, so he reported it to His Majesty, recalled the general, and asked the general to cooperate with the court's inspection."
Long Wu said: "My general has behaved correctly, but Prime Minister Qin said that my general has behaved inappropriately? Is there any evidence?"
Prime Minister Qin said: "I will naturally find an opportunity to show the true evidence to the general, but for now I would like to invite the general to go to Dali Temple with us."
Long Wu asked: "You are going to Dali Temple without any evidence? Isn't this against the law?"
Prime Minister Qin said: "Today the general will go even if I am afraid, and he will go even if he doesn't."
As soon as Qin Xiang finished speaking, the imperial guards behind him came out with swords in hand and surrounded Long Wu.
When the two guards in the distance saw this scene, they couldn't help but clenched their fists.
"No! The general was taken away by them! I want to go and save the general!"
One of the guards said this.
But another guard stopped him: "Do you think these few people can stop the general if he doesn't want to go with them?"
The former said: "Then we just watch helplessly?"
The latter said: "According to the general's instructions, we will return to the Zhenxi Army first. Colonel Long is still in the Zhenxi Army!"
…
among the forbidden troops
Many generals who were transferred here from the Zhenxi Army were also aggrieved.
They gathered one after another, and they were determined to rob the prison.
And some of the Imperial Guardsmen who went to Dali Temple to capture General Long were pinned down in the toilet and almost maimed.
Although these people were also acting under orders, it was obvious that no one cared whether they were following orders or not.
Just when several generals were discussing and preparing to take action, they were stopped by one of General Long's personal guards.
General Long brought them back because he himself knew what the people coming out of his hands would do if he didn't control them.
It was also very simple for General Long to tell these personal guards.
Since the rebellion of King Ming and the troubles caused by the imperial edict, the people have only been stable for two years. It can be said that they have just recovered from the war.
What would happen if he was really rescued by prison robbery at this time?
If the Zhenxi Army does not rebel, it will be forced to do so!
Who will suffer then?
Aren’t the people in the world suffering?
This is what Long Wu doesn't want to see.
The reason why Long Wu became as close as brothers to the general was not because he did not understand the emperor's suspicion, nor because he did not understand that this would make the emperor suspect that he was forming a clique for personal gain and self-respect of the army, but because he gave up the imperial edict and even counterattack for the best cooperation.
In fact, General Long understands everything in his heart, but his bottom line and his pattern are much higher than those of ordinary people.
In his eyes, the interests of the State of Zhao are above all else, and he will first think of the State of Zhao when doing anything, instead of trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts.
Most of the people who just try to figure out what they mean by flattery are sycophants.
General Long doesn't even think about the emperor, so he doesn't think about himself.
Perhaps his only selfish motive was to arrange the future of his daughter and wife.
In Dali Temple
Prime Minister Qin looked at the group of officials below, gritted his teeth and said, "I asked you to find evidence of Long Wu's crime. Have you found it?!"
The officials all shook their heads and did not dare to speak.
Qin Xiang frowned and said, "You mean we haven't found it at all?"
Subordinate officials continued to remain silent.
Qin Xiang gritted his teeth and said: "You are all here! Don't you always catch the wind and find out the truth?! Can't you find out the crime even if you are not guilty? Why can't you even find out the guilt of Long Wu?! The truth wants you to know the truth!
What’s the use?!”
The imperial censor said aggrievedly: "I have reported it to Qin Xiang, but I really can't find it! General Long has resisted She Zhao for many years, defeating the small with more, and the weak with strong. Even the two border states, General Long quickly restored it."
People's livelihood, even before he came back, he had properly arranged all the affairs of the Suppressing West Army. How could this be a crime? General Long had not committed any crime above the law! He could not catch it even if he tried to catch the wind and shadow.
"
When Qin Xiang heard what the imperial censor said, he couldn't help but slam the table in front of him.
According to the algorithm of the imperial censor, General Long can calculate a lot of merits, let alone sins, and they are a lot of great merits!
This was the first time he felt such a sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, a voice came from outside: "Eunuch Bai is here!"
Bai Fu walked in, looked at Prime Minister Qin and saluted, "Prime Minister Qin."
Prime Minister Qin also returned the courtesy and said: "Eunuch Bai."
Bai Fu asked: "Has the Long Wu matter come to an end?"
Qin Xiang sighed and shook his head: "Long Wu has not touched any of the crimes in the law..."
At this time, Bai Fu smiled and said: "Does it have to be a crime according to the law? If there is no crime, can't there be a punishment?"
Prime Minister Qin was startled and asked, "What does Eunuch Bai mean?"
Bai Fu said: "Putting aside the facts, since it can make His Majesty suspicious, is Long Wu really not wrong at all?"
