Chapter 110 Deliberately Provoking

Seeing that Prince Qi had already left, the prince stopped acting, and said indifferently: "That's right, I'm going to visit the emperor's uncle, is there a problem?"

"Leading a thousand people to lurk around the palace, but you said to visit the king?" Murong Jie tilted his head, and spoke softly, but to everyone's ears, it sounded like a sharp sword.

The prince snorted and said, "That's right, I brought people to protect the emperor's uncle. Obviously, some people didn't appreciate it and refused to let me in."

"Without this king's transfer order, who allowed you to mobilize a thousand soldiers? Who gave you this authority?" Murong Jie changed from being kind, and suddenly asked sharply.

The prince hesitated, then stood up and said angrily: "Isn't it just a thousand soldiers? This palace is the current prince, and you need the permission of your regent to transfer a thousand people?"

Murong Jie shouted sharply: "Where is the Minister of War?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War hastily stepped out, "The minister is here!"

"Tell the prince, what is the punishment for mobilizing more than a thousand troops without permission?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War replied: "If you go back to the prince, if there is no military order or the prince's handwriting, and there is no military amulet, anyone who mobilizes more than 1,000 troops without authorization will be killed without mercy."

The prince was furious, "I am the current prince, how dare you kill me?"

Murong Jie said coldly: "There is no order from the Ministry of War, no orders from the king, and no military amulet in hand. How do you mobilize the troops? The king really wants to know, maybe the generals present here can come out and explain. Which barracks are the soldiers and horses in, and which general is in charge?"

When everyone heard this, they understood why Murong Jie was holding on to those thousand soldiers and horses, he wanted to break the arm of Grand Tutor Liang and kill one of his generals.

Liang Taifu came out and said expressionlessly: "My lord, this time the prince mobilized troops and horses to protect the lord's safety, so we can deal with it specially."

"Military orders are like a mountain, you told me special treatment? Does the Taifu need to go back and read my laws of the Great Zhou?" Murong Jie said coldly.

The Taifu raised his head, looked at Murong Jie and said, "Your Majesty, there is a regulation in the Great Zhou Dynasty about the transfer of troops and horses. If there are special circumstances, the generals of the army can conduct small-scale transfers of troops and horses according to the actual situation. At that time, the situation was critical, the prince encountered an assassin, and his life and death were uncertain. The prince was worried about the safety of the prince, so he informed General Bai of the situation. General Bai made a judgment based on the situation and sent troops to the palace to defend the palace. A violation of military law, let alone a violation of the law, at most it was just a misjudgment, beaten with fifty military sticks, or demoted for investigation."

Murong Jie then asked the Minister of the Ministry of War, "According to what the Taifu said, is it possible to mobilize troops and horses?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War replied: "If you go back to the prince, if the situation is critical according to what the Taifu said, you can immediately apply to the Ministry of War for an order to transfer troops. The Ministry will immediately dispatch and send people to the barracks with the prince. application."

Xiao Tuo said indifferently: "One thousand people can be mobilized from the imperial forest army in the palace, why must we mobilize troops and horses?"

Murong Jie said coldly: "In this way, the special circumstances mentioned by the Taifu do not exist. Bai Ye is arbitrarily mobilizing a thousand troops, right?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War said without hesitation: "Returning to the prince, yes, General Bai Ye did not apply to the Ministry of War, and he did not report to the Ministry of War after dispatching troops. This is a private mobilization of troops and horses. According to military law, he should be executed."

Murong Jie raised his head, "Su Qing!"

"Here!" Su Qing came out, cupping his hands.

Murong Jie said majestically: "Take this king's order, take Bai Ye down, and kill him on the spot, so as to make an example to others!"

Mrs. Liang's face was livid, "Wait!"

He stepped forward and stared at Murong Jie, the muscles on his face trembled, and the anger spread in his eyes, "My lord, the law is important, but General Bai mobilized his troops to protect the lord. Although he has done something, his loyalty is commendable. If the prince insists on beheading the loyal generals, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, and it will be harmful to my great Zhou. I believe that if the emperor is here now, he will not agree with the prince's actions."

The queen also said: "Yes, my lord, this General Bai is also thinking about his safety, even if my lord is not grateful, he shouldn't settle accounts after autumn."

Taifu Liang looked at Prime Minister Xia, beckoning him to help.

How could Prime Minister Xia not know what Murong Jie was thinking? He wanted to kill Bai Ye and deter the military generals who wanted to take refuge in Liang Taifu. This general Bai was arrogant and domineering in the past, and he ordered other civil officials to rely on his military achievements. Many people in the court thought he was not pleasing to him. , with the backing of Mrs. Liang, many people just dare not speak out. If they come forward to intercede, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among their colleagues in the DPRK and China.

However, he and Liang Taifu can only stand on the same front, especially at this moment, it is even more difficult to get off, so he can only say: "My lord, I think that General Bai's crime of mobilizing troops without authorization is unforgivable. It’s a first-time offender who is really loyal and commendable, I beg the prince to spare his life and punish him with fifty army sticks.”

Prime Minister Xia's Taifu hinted at his help, and naturally the princelings knelt down to plead for mercy.

Murong Jie looked at the dark head and sneered, "That's great, I heard that you first knelt in front of the empress dowager's palace, begging the empress dowager to take over the government, and now you are kneeling in front of this king to beg for mercy for a general who violated the military law." , The memorials of the Imperial Study Room and the Zhongshu Province, one book has not been moved, piled up like a mountain, look at our officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are all focused on fighting for power and profit, but they still have the slightest intention to do things for the country and the people? Great Zhou With your courtiers, the country will perish sooner or later."

The prince heard the words and said coldly: "The emperor said carefully, as the regent, if you say something that curses the fate of the country, do you still know your identity?"

"You still know the word identity? Do you remember your identity? Have you ever respected your identity?" Murong Jie suddenly snapped angrily, "As the prince of a dynasty, you bear the great expectations of your father and the people. Don’t do business every day, let the greedy ministers instigate and instigate, but if you make a little progress, the position of supervisor today is not my king, if you continue like this, let’s see how long you can sit in the position of prince.”

"You are enough. Don't think that you can rely on the old to sell the old because you are the uncle of the emperor. If you want to scold the emperor, you are not qualified enough. Even the queen mother didn't say anything about the emperor. Why do you blame the emperor? The emperor just ordered you to supervise the country. , it’s not for you to suppress me, if you don’t want to be the person in charge of the country’s supervisor, you should go there as soon as possible, so as not to occupy the latrine.”

The prince was in a hurry, and he didn't care about the propriety when he spoke. This remark attracted the attention of many people. As a prince, he said such vulgar words, and in front of so many people, he really lost his dignity.

The queen wanted to pull him, but felt that Murong Jie was going too far, so she let the prince vent and see what Murong Jie dared to do.

The Taifu also looked at Murong Jie complacently. Yes, he is only the regent of the prison country, but the crown prince is always the candidate for the throne. When the emperor will ascend the throne in the future, Murong Jie speaks rudely to the crown prince and curses the fate of the country. A little vulgar, but also reasonable.

Moreover, if he really dared to do something to the prince, wouldn't it just happen to prove his Sima Zhao's heart?
