Zhu Wenyu sat high alone, with hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides.
"If you have something to do, report to the court; if nothing happens, leave the court."
The eunuch Zhang Hua made a routine speech.
Everyone was indifferent, except Xu Hongliang, Minister of the Ministry of War, who hesitated to speak and looked very embarrassed.
The official positions of the Ministry of War include one first-rank minister, two second-rank ministers, and three fifth-rank ministers. Later, there will be six-rank officials, driving department, and three treasury divisions. Wang Zhangxuan, the minister of the Ministry of War, sits in the north of Saibei to command the rebellion.
, Qiu Yutang has just returned, so Xu Hongliang is currently in charge of the Ministry of War.
"Xu Hongliang, do you have something?"
Zhu Wenyu glanced at it and said.
"I do have something going on, but I don't dare to say anything."
Xu Hongliang said with a bitter face.
"I can hear everything, but you can just say it."
Zhu Wenyu didn't take it seriously.
"Your Majesty, it's like this. Many generals of the Shanhe Army have jointly submitted a memorial. As usual, it will be reviewed by our Ministry of War before we go back. I will read the original text of the memorial. In gratitude for the emperor's great kindness, I invite the commander-in-chief of our army to the imperial city for a banquet.
Millions of officers and soldiers of the Shanhe Army are all loyal to Lord Dutong and will follow him to the death..." As soon as he said these words, the corners of the mouths of the civil and military officials on both sides twitched. It's no wonder that Xu Hongliang was in trouble and didn't dare to make excuses.
Wow, this Shanhe Army is too courageous. They are clearly threatening and warning the Emperor.
Li Yang was taken to the Imperial City and placed under house arrest. Almost everyone present knew it, but they didn't know where Li Yang was under house arrest. The location of the house arrest was an absolute secret.
"Xu Hongliang, you made me unhappy early in the morning, didn't you?"
Zhu Wenyu was indeed furious and shouted sharply.
"Your Majesty, you asked Wei Chen to tell you, and Wei Chen only handed it over on your behalf. This document was not written by me."
Xu Hongliang explained quickly, panicking.
"You! Get out of here, right now!"
Zhu Wenyu stood up, pointed at him and roared.
"I'm retiring, get out of here, get out of here."
Xu Hongliang got up, staggered, fell several times, and then ran out of the hall. After leaving the hall, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered, "Why are you angry at me? I am so unlucky."
"This waste can't even be rolled away."
"Why did the emperor use such a person? Tell Xu Hongliang, if he still wrestles in my hall in the future, he will go back to his hometown to retire!"
"This old thing is too old to die!"
Zhu Wenyu's anger continued and he cursed loudly.
Of course I was using the topic to vent my anger, not really against Xu Hongliang.
Everyone was as silent as a chill, and did not dare to express their anger, for fear that Zhu Wenyu would find trouble.
"Qiu Yutang stays, and the rest retreat!"
Zhu Wenyu took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said again.
Qiu Yutang's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and his face was filled with bitterness and helplessness. Now that the emperor was furious, leaving him behind would probably not be a good thing.
"My dear, I am not keeping you here to get angry at you. You are different from that old guy Xu Hongliang. In that case, you are my emperor's confidant and a virtuous minister."
Zhu Wenyu said with relief.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. If you have anything to do, just ask."
Qiu Yutang handed over his hand cautiously.
"You have also heard the memorial of the Shanhe Army. Are these still the emperor's troops? They are completely Li Yang's private army. The Shanhe Army cannot be retained. It must be disbanded and divided into various ministries. In addition, the rebellion in Saibei cannot be quelled.
No delay, you have stayed in Qingyang City and are familiar with Li Yang. You first go to Xihua Villa to talk to Li Yang and try to persuade him to withdraw his troops and cooperate with the imperial court to divide the Shanhe Army."
Zhu Wenyu said.
"I'm trying my best. May I ask the emperor, am I going to discuss with him or to issue your order?"
Qiu Yutang asked.
"You can tell him the pros and cons. Tell him clearly that he must cooperate with the court, have good food and clothing, and live a peaceful life. Otherwise, there will be no way out and he will be dead."
Zhu Wenyu said coldly.
…… Xihua Villa.
In the yard, Li Yang was sitting on a soft chair, basking in the sun leisurely. There were fruits, coffee, and snacks on the table in front of him, with beautiful maids on both sides.
There are also men in black suits standing guard all around.
"Hey, your boy is quite moist, isn't it?"
Qiu Yutang walked into the hospital and said with a loud smile.
"I don't have to worry about eating and drinking here, and there are beauties to serve me. I'm grateful to the emperor for finding me a good place for vacation."
Li Yang also smiled and followed the instructions, "Press my legs."
"yes."
The two maids immediately knelt down and gently massaged Li Yang with their little hands.
"You can enjoy it later, I have something to talk to you about."
Qiu Yutang was dissatisfied with the reprimand, and then winked at the two maids, who immediately stood up and backed away.
Why is this Li Yang so arrogant? He is even locked up. Is he not worried at all?
"What's the matter, Mr. Minister, did my subordinates do something extreme and anger the emperor?"
Li Yang said with a smile.
"You boy are very knowledgeable about things. Indeed, your subordinates jointly submitted a note to the Ministry of War. In one sentence, they will be loyal to you and follow you to the death. The emperor was furious and made it clear that the Shanhe Army cannot be your private army.
, must be disbanded and the personnel relocated to other places. In addition, you must immediately order the Shanhe Army to withdraw from Yucheng to make way for Hu Shuai’s Nine Regiments!”
Qiu Yutang said bluntly.
"Well, I understand. The emperor said that if I cooperate, I can enjoy a lifetime of happiness here, otherwise I will die."
Li Yang sat up and looked at him.
"Smart, since you are smart, you should be more knowledgeable."
Qiu Yutang admonished in a non-committal tone.
Li Yang grinned and said nothing, Qiu Yutang did not urge him, and waited for a reply.
"Well, give me some time and I'll think about it."
After a while, Li Yang finally spoke, just to delay time and leave a window open for the rescue of Concubine Xi and her subordinates.
"Okay, you have a good attitude today. If you have any requirements in life, just ask me."
Qiu Yutang was quite surprised and pleasantly surprised, and said in a very friendly manner that he thought he would be disappointed when he came to talk to Li Yang this time, but the fact was completely opposite.
"There are too many people standing guard. Let those in black suits guard outside the courtyard. They are here. I am too embarrassed to play with these two beautiful girls. It is no fun to play in the house."
Li Yang glanced around and said.
The two maids also heard this, and their faces immediately turned red with embarrassment.
"absurd!"
Qiu Yutang pointed at Li Yang with a straight face, "Forget it, I agree to your request. The court will give you as many beauties as you want, but you must think harder and reply to me as soon as possible."
"Your love, Miss Qiu looks pretty good."
Li Yang smiled.
"Don't go too far!"
Qiu Yutang's face turned dark immediately and he was very angry.
"Just kidding, Ling'ai and I are friends. Next time you come, bring Miss Qiu over to talk to me."
Li Yang looked solemn and said seriously.
"That's no problem. Okay, you can enjoy yourself. I'll leave and take these plainclothes soldiers with me."
As soon as Qiu Yutang finished speaking, he turned around.
As soon as he negotiated with the person in charge of the Forbidden Army, the other party immediately led his people and retreated with him.
Li Yang stood up and said: "Two little beauties, come here and let Pontus relax your muscles and bones."
The two beautiful maids, one named Cai Lian and the other Cai Yi, were biological sisters. The two sisters were ashamed and angry, but they did not dare to disobey, so they could only walk up to him honestly.
Qiu Yutang was outside the door, his ear pressed against the door. When he heard this, his doubts disappeared and he sneered and got in the car. He was really worried just now, worried that Li Yang was trying to get rid of the guard for an excuse to escape or be captured.
I made preparations for the rescue, but now it seems that I was overly worried. Li Yang is really a pervert and a bad boy.
Xihua Villa has been surrounded by three battalions of the Forbidden Army. Yu Huai, the commander of the Forbidden Army, is personally in charge. It doesn't matter if there are no guards in the courtyard. Li Yang cannot escape after all!
