Chapter 13: The Emperor and His Ministers Have Met with the Time (13)

When Luo Dan was young, he had relied on two generals of the Qi Dynasty, but since he ascended the throne, he has never stopped taking actions to weaken the military power.

Now he thinks he has nothing to worry about. He can punish Zhuo Feichen when he is angry, and he can do it to Gu Chenglin's nephew when he wants to make trouble. He is not worried about rebellion or rebellion.

In the Zhenbei Army, the emperor appointed a deputy general.

Zhuo Feichen does not have the right to mobilize the army directly. Perhaps he can decide some small matters with his prestige, but more things require the consent of both parties at the same time.

It is not easy to find a general who can win a battle. There are obedient generals everywhere. Deputy General Zhu Xing conscientiously monitors Zhuo Feichen, diligently makes troubles, and occasionally takes advantage of the power of others to show off his power. He is very hard to make General Zhuo lose his place in the Zhenbei Army.

As the emperor's "confidant minister", Zhu Xing naturally puts himself on the same front as Luo Xiuqi. The soldiers would avoid Luo Xiuqi when they grumbled, but they could not hide it from Zhu Xing.

Zhu Xing came to "share the worries" for the second prince as a matter of course.

Shen Minghuan was still in Luo Xiuqi's tent.

He rarely took the initiative to find Luo Xiuqi, let alone stay for such a long time. It was so abnormal, as if he was waiting for something.

Luo Xiuqi was eager for him to stay, so he would not drive him away. Shen Minghuan then changed to a more comfortable sitting position and watched Zhu Xing's performance with great interest.

"Marshal, we have to be on guard!" Zhu Xing almost shed tears, and completed the perfect ending with this expression.

Luo Xiuqi's face turned pale: "It's true! Zhuo Feichen, this old man, dared to pretend to obey but secretly disobey. No wonder I feel that these pursuits are not satisfactory. It turns out that he disobeyed orders! He also instigated the soldiers to point fingers at me. He deserves to die!"

"I am the prince of Daqi, and the emperor personally appointed me as the Grand Marshal of the Army. These people dare to talk about me. Do they want to rebel? Damn it, damn it, all of them deserve to die, a bunch of traitors!"

When he thought about how he was so complacent these days, thinking that everyone was worshipping and praising him, but the facts were completely the opposite, Luo Xiuqi was so embarrassed that he wanted to burn it all with a fire.

When he passed by that day, he saw the soldiers whispering and winking at each other. Could it be that they were laughing at him?

"Sir." Luo Xiuqi turned around to seek help, and there was still a little grievance in his tone.

For a moment, Luo Xiuqi suddenly remembered that it was the idea of ​​the man in front of him to let him take command, but he quickly put it behind his mind.

He thought, the master was doing this for his own good, and the master didn't know it would turn out like this.

Shen Minghuan chuckled, "Your Highness, have you heard what General Zhu said in private? As for General Zhuo's matter, does General Zhu have any evidence?"

Luo Xiuqi was stunned and looked at Zhu Xing suspiciously.

He really had never heard any rumors.

The conceited Luo Xiuqi couldn't admit that he was blind and deaf, and to be honest, it was easier for Zhu Xing to accept that he was deceived than for him to be despised by the soldiers in the army.

Zhu Xing looked at Luo Xiuqi's scrutinizing expression and shouted in panic: "I speak the truth, everyone knows these things, and I can confront anyone."

"General Zhu is so powerful, how difficult is it to find a few people to direct and act?" Shen Minghuan said in a playful tone, and the word "Zhu" was dragged out, which made it look more and more weird.

Although Luo Xiuqi knew that Shen Minghuan was trying to sow discord, he still couldn't help but feel wary of the four words "so powerful".

Zhu Xing angrily glared at Shen Minghuan who was sitting leisurely on the chair, and expressed his loyalty to Luo Xiuqi with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, I am loyal to the emperor, Your Highness, please understand!"

"Loyalty... That's bad." Shen Minghuan's voice was not loud, but it was very clear amid Zhu Xing's screams, with a hint of smile.

Zhu Xing's crying voice was choked in his throat. He seemed to have heard something terrible?

No, no, no, it's impossible. He must have heard it wrong.

"Your Highness has suffered all this way and gone through many hardships to come to Mobei just to establish your own military power. What is there to hesitate about now? Two Zhu Xings are not as good as one Zhuo Feichen. Your Highness should know what to choose."

"What's more, a servant cannot serve two masters. Zhuo Feichen must be resentful for being treated so coldly. It's time for Your Highness to show his kindness. With Zhuo Feichen's character, he will remember your help for a lifetime. There are not many opportunities to help him when he is in trouble. If you don't take what God gives, you will suffer the consequences, Your Highness."

This is true. Zhuo Feichen remembers kindness and values ​​friendship. It's a pity that Luo Xiuyuan helped him first, and he helped him at all costs.

Shen Minghuan sighed, and then changed the subject, "But this General Zhu is loyal to Your Majesty."

Zhu Xing was scared and broke into a cold sweat. He was not afraid that the second prince would have a rebellious heart. What he was most afraid of was that these two people actually did not hide it in front of him.

The living will only be so honest when facing the dead.

"You thief, you dare to deceive His Highness, I will kill you!" Zhu Xing shouted.

When meeting the prince, he was not wearing any weapons, but he was a soldier after all, so he knew the basic martial arts. Zhu Xing leaned forward and punched Shen Minghuan in the face.

The action was too fast, Luo Xiuqi didn't even react, he hurriedly shouted to stop: "Stop..."

Shen Minghuan suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhu Xing's wrist, and then clamped him in two or three moves. He looked at ease, and Zhu Xing on the opposite side had a ferocious face, obviously using all his strength.

"Hand..." Luo Xiuqi stopped talking embarrassedly.

"Such a pretty face, you can also do it... Your Highness." Shen Minghuan complained to Zhu Xing, turned around and called Luo Xiuqi, signaling with his eyes.

Luo Xiuqi followed his gaze and looked at the table.

There was a knife on the table.

——Shen Minghuan used it to cut fruit.

——The knife was very sharp, and it was enough to kill people.

"This," Luo Xiuqi suddenly understood what Shen Minghuan meant, he hesitated, "not very good, after all, he is my father's man."

"Then I will let him go and let him complain to the emperor?" Shen Mingze asked.

Zhu Xing struggled to exhaustion, but the shadow of death still loomed over him. He could feel Luo Xiuqi's killing intent, "No, I can't, I don't know anything..."

Zhu Xing cried incoherently, "Your Highness, please, let me go, I, I, I work like a cow and a horse for Your Highness, I am not Your Majesty's man, I am your man, Your Highness, please..."

Shen Minghuan loosened his hand slightly, and Zhu Xing retreated quickly like a dying fish touching the sea water.

Luo Xiuqi reflexively, "Don't let go!"

Shen Minghuan grabbed it again, and Zhu Xing was frightened and held his breath immediately, making himself blush.

Shen Mingze said meaningfully: "As a king, you must not be soft-hearted."

Luo Xiuqi took a deep breath and picked up the knife on the table.

He had never been on the battlefield or killed a chicken.

But he had killed people.

I have killed many people who were unable to resist, like Zhu Xing, who was restrained by Shen Minghuan at this time.

Blood flowed all over the ground.

The system was thoughtful: [Host, I know why you took the initiative to come to Luo Xiuqi instead of letting him go to find you. ]

Luo Xiuqi's face was pale. He loosened his hand weakly, and the knife fell to the ground with only a dull sound.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

He was very scared. No matter how much he looked forward to the pie drawn by Shen Minghuan in the past, it was just a thought.

But now he killed Zhu Xing, and he really stood on the opposite side of his father, and lit the first beacon with his own hands.

"Don't worry, it's normal for someone to die in a place like a battlefield. His Majesty will believe you." Shen Minghuan smiled.

Next? Next, you have no way out. You can only follow the direction I point to you and go to a dead end.

"Zhu Xing is dead?" Zhuo Feichen's tone was a little weird.

"General Zhuo, laugh if you want to. Don't hold it back." Shen Minghuan had a very tight schedule for the day. After leaving Luo Xiuqi, he went back to have a hearty lunch, took a comfortable nap, and then came to find Zhuo Feichen.

Zhuo Feichen's facial expression was a little distorted, perhaps because he was holding back his laughter, "How did he die?"

"I killed him." Shen Minghuan said frankly, without blinking, and people who didn't know him would think he was saying "It's a nice day today."

Zhuo Feichen didn't expect this man to admit it so casually. He was shocked and didn't know what to say, "You, this, why, that..."

Zhu Xing's death was not a pity, but he was the emperor's man, and killing him was too disrespectful to the emperor.

"Because he made things difficult for the general." Shen Minghuan didn't emphasize it very hard. His tone was casual, as if he just blurted it out, and he seemed very sincere, "General, I killed him, are you unhappy? From now on, no one can make you angry anymore."

Zhuo Feichen never knew that he was such an emotional person, and he would have the urge to cry because of a sentence.

Although Zhu Xing had little ability and could not cause much harm to him, this kind of villain was really disgusting. Now that Zhu Xing was dead, he died cleanly and neatly, and he really wanted to hold a three-day banquet to celebrate.

"But... how can you explain to His Majesty?" The iron-blooded General Zhuo's eyes were sore, happy and worried, and mixed with indescribable emotion.

"People should live a comfortable life and can't always wrong themselves. As for the explanation, that's a matter for the future." Shen Minghuan said.

General Zhuo was silent for a moment, "You don't seem to have much respect for His Majesty?"

"Huh?" Shen Minghuan was extremely surprised, "You still have respect for that old thing?"

General Zhuo felt a little ashamed for no reason, and retorted with a blushing face: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't, I... I... I didn't like him a long time ago!"

Shen Minghuan looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"I heard that the general joined the army at the age of 18, and has experienced more than 100 battles of all sizes in the past 40 years. From an unknown soldier to an undefeated god of war, the general witnessed the blood staining the desert, mountains, and rivers red. He also stayed up for ten days and nights, chewing tree bark and grass roots to break through. At the most critical moment, a sharp arrow passed through his chest, only half an inch away from his heart."

Shen Minghuan raised his eyes and said solemnly: "The millions of people in Daqi should bow their heads to thank the general for his great kindness."
