What kind of drama is this? Does Zong Xu want to die?
——No, this is more terrifying than risking your life.
He is destroying his own job and destroying the foundation of the clan!
"General Zong, do you know what you are doing?"
Zong Xu didn't even blink: "I know."
"Do you know that after doing this, the Zong family will never be able to return to its original position?"
Zong Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with a mixture of mockery and sadness: "What position did the Zong family have? After all, trust is the only word. If you are willing to trust us, the Zong family will naturally stand firm. If you don't trust us, you will never do anything good.
Good things come to an end in a blink of an eye.”
"Zong Xu!"
Guo Xu thought to himself that he was really crazy and dared to say such things.
What's even more outrageous is that he has to force himself to go crazy together!
Zong Xu didn't say a word, just looked at him quietly. He kept his hand on his sword and had no intention of moving away.
The threat was so clear that Guo Xu had to seriously consider the consequences of disobeying him.
This is the northwest army camp, and Zong Xu's manpower is everywhere from inside to outside. If he really wants to kill himself, there is really no way.
Guo Xu told himself to calm down and first figure out what Zong Xu wanted to do.
"How are you going to protect him?" he asked, "Rumors are already spreading. Do you want to make the superiors more suspicious of him?"
Zong Xu said lightly: "If it has reached a fatal point, what's the point of being jealous or not?"
Guo Xuhe and others suddenly understood the information revealed in the words and gasped.
"You, you mean..." He pointed at Zong Xu with a trembling hand. He spoke thousands of words and finally turned them into one sentence, "You're crazy!"
It has reached a critical point, that is to say, they are sure that the emperor has murderous intentions.
Guo Xu was present at the assassination that day. At this time, it is not difficult to think of the person behind it.
I see!
No wonder after that day, when I asked Yang San about that matter, this kid always talked about him.
Since Zong Xu knew that the emperor had murderous intentions, he still wanted to protect him, which was to go against the emperor. He was a general who commanded the army, what good would happen if he went against the emperor? Unless there was another emperor...
Guo Xu was frightened by his imagination.
"Zong Xu, General Zong, old Zong!" Guo Xu said earnestly, "Calm down, it has not been easy for the Zong family for so many years. This matter will affect the whole family. You have guarded the border for decades, so many sons died in the battle.
Are you on the battlefield just to be a traitor?"
Zong Xu looked at him strangely: "What kind of treacherous ministers and traitors are you?"
Guo Xu was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you going to rebel?"
Zong Xu frowned: "What kind of rebellion is this? My clan has been protecting our family and country for generations, and you are falsely accusing me?"
Guo Xu was confused by him: "Then you..."
Seeing that there was a communication problem between the two of them, Zong Xu's confidant joined the army and said with a smile: "Master Guo, you misunderstood. What the general meant was to credit Young Master Yang with the great achievements of this battle and ensure that he can pass this test."
"Well……"
Only then did Guo Xu turn the corner.
Oh, that’s what it means! He was scared to death, and he thought Zong Xu was going to support this kid...
It’s okay, okay, I just want credit!
Frightened by the more terrible consequences, Guo Xu now felt that it was okay not to have this military exploit. He had always been flexible and flexible, but when he saw that he was about to suffer a loss, he simply shrank and became a grandson. Anyway, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.
Then he heard Zong Xu say: "Master Guo, you should write this battle report!"
Joining the army pushed the pen and ink in front of Guo Xu, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Please."
"..." Guo Xu realized something was wrong again, "Old Zong, you are asking me to jump into a trap! Once I write this battle report, I will become his guarantor, right?"
Zong Xu said calmly: "Master Guo, the story that Nasu brought people to arrest you a few days ago and was rescued by Yang San has been spread throughout the world through the storyteller's mouth."
!!!
Guo Xu's eyes widened: "Zong Xu!"
Ganqing has been plotting against him for a long time!
With the grace of saving his life, coupled with this battle report, Zong Xu completely shied away his own responsibilities, but it was he who completely offended the emperor!
So insidious!
More sinister than him!
Zong Xu's hand was still on his sword, his eyes were darker than before, and his tone was full of threats: "Master Guo, do you want to write or not?"
"……Write!"
Guo Xu was filled with grief and anger, and he started writing a battle report.
How can he choose? If he refuses to write, Zong Xu will kill him in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, such a big matter has been revealed in full, and it is impossible for me to stay out of it.
He had to jump into this trap even if he didn't want to.
Even if he returns to the capital, the emperor will think that he is the one who wants to protect Yang Shu.
Guo Xu knew better than them that the emperor was not as good as before. After the autumn hunt that year, the emperor's headache became more and more serious, and his temper became unstable.
The emperor is the emperor, no matter how kind he is, he is still more jealous than ordinary people.
It made him suspicious, but he couldn't get rid of it.
We can only help Yang Shu and convince the emperor that he is not harmful. Otherwise, Yang Shu will be deemed to deserve to die and he will have to be buried with him.
Guo Xu finished writing it in one breath and threw it over: "Do you think this will work?"
After Zong Xu read it, he discussed it carefully with Joining the Army and asked him to make a few changes.
When he was finally satisfied, Guo Xu copied it again, and then the two of them printed it together.
Guo Xu was dejected: "Can I go back now?"
Zong Xu clasped his fists: "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your help."
Guo Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and left.
He doesn't want to say a word to this old liar now!
Zong Rui came in: "Dad, did he write it?"
"I can't tolerate him not writing it." Zong Xu gave him the battle report, "Eight hundred miles is urgent, send it as fast as you can."
The urgent battle report will be sent to the political hall as soon as possible and will be reviewed by the prime ministers. The emperor cannot have the final say alone.
Such a great battle and such military achievements cannot be suppressed as long as they have passed the clear road.
At that time, if the emperor still wants to kill him, it will not be that simple.
Yang Shu could not understand Zong Xu's intention after watching it from beginning to end.
These days, it's not that he's not troubled, it's just that no matter how troubled he is, he can only wait until the battle is over.
Unexpectedly, just after the victory, Zong Xu solved this problem with thunderous momentum.
"Teacher..." He didn't know what to say.
On the surface, there was nothing wrong with what Zong Xu did, but if he violated the emperor's wishes, he would inevitably lose his grace. It is self-evident how important this is to the Zong family.
There is no way to repay this kindness and love.
Zong Xu breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "That's fine, there's no need to go against your will..."
Six days later, an urgent battle report came to Beijing.
By this time, the Chengzhou rebellion had been put down. However, the rumors were getting worse and had no intention of being put down.
The Imperial City Division's report had long been placed on the imperial court, confirming that this group of rebels were remnants of Liuyang County Prince, and they wanted to disgust the emperor and kill people with a borrowed knife.
But the emperor was so disgusted that he wanted to sharpen the knife in his hand even though he knew he was borrowing a knife to kill someone.
He is the emperor, can't he still be willful? (To be continued)
