For ordinary people to beat the Dengwen drum and bring their grievances to the emperor, they need to be beaten twenty times.
But his surname is Ning, and he is Ning Shoujiang, the only remaining son of the Ning family. He left home at a young age and has been stationed at the border all year round, dedicating half of his life to Yan Chi!
They admire such a person and do not believe that he would commit treason and collaboration with the enemy.
As a result, the soldiers guarding Xuandemen looked at each other, staring at the sky and the ground, but no one took the beating board.
Countless people also spontaneously gathered around Xuandemen, looking at the figure and talking.
"It turned out to be General Ning Shoujiang. What grievances was he talking about? His Majesty actually wanted to make the decision?"
"You are too closed to the news. Yanchi lost two cities in a row and the news that General Ning was captured spread throughout the capital. There are rumors that General Ning defected to the Huns and deliberately betrayed the military information!"
"What bullshit! Who in Yanchi has not grown up listening to the stories of the Ning family defending their homeland and country? If General Ning is a traitor, then my whole family will be Huns!"
"Hey, brother, you are so cruel..."
"Let's judge, do you believe that I am the blood of the royal family left behind by the people, or that General Xinning betrayed his military intelligence and gave the two cities to the Huns?"
"Hey, it's more believable that you are of royal blood~"
After Ning Shoujiang struck three times, he put the drumstick on the ground, closed his eyes and waited quietly.
But he didn't expect that the people behind him suddenly gathered around him.
First, an old man came up and stuffed a box of hand ointment into his arms. He choked with distress and said: "General, it must be very hard at the border. Your face and hands are like this. The old woman is poor and cannot give you something too precious, so she can only Send a box of hand ointment to the general, apply it every day, it will be useful!"
The hand ointment was forced into her arms, but Ning Shoujiang clearly saw that the old woman's hands and face were equally chapped.
When she wanted to return it to the other party, the old woman had disappeared into the crowd.
Others brought a basket of eggs, self-made kneepads, shoes, bags of flour, clothes, stirrups, spices, etc.
Someone else rushed over carrying half of the newly slaughtered pork and said boldly: "General! This is the Cuihua that my family has raised for more than a year. It was just slaughtered and the meat is delicious!"
"I can't accept it!"
"Take it, take it!"
"Thank you everyone, I really can't accept it!"
"General, you're going to be angry if you don't accept me. Are you looking down on our ordinary people's little care?"
"I'll take it, I'll take it."
Faced with the enthusiasm of the people, Ning Shouxian could not refuse the hospitality, so he had to accept it.
The morning fog has not yet dissipated. Ning Shoujiang's hands and feet are cold, but his heart is warm.
The Ning family has always believed in the belief of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. The people who support the Ning family have always been the people of Yanchi. If you give them a piece of protection, they will give you a piece of gratitude.
"Thank you all!" Ning Shoujiang was about to express his thanks.
Suddenly, a girl was pushed into his arms. The girl looked shy and stared at him with admiration and watery eyes.
The girl's father smiled naively at the side: "General Ning, although you have been at the border all year round, you still have to leave an heir for the Ning family, right? My daughter has admired the general for a long time. As long as you give the order, she will go home with you immediately and give her You give birth to three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine!”
Ning Shoujiang's rough face immediately turned red.
The girl is also a master who knows how to fight for: "General, my little girl can endure hardships, so please let me stay by your side..."
When Yun Yaoyao and others rushed to the city wall of Xuandemen, they saw Ning Shoujiang as the center and all kinds of things piled up around them.
There was also a cute little girl holding the pile of things and not letting go. She looked at Ning Shoujiang with a helpless look on her face, as if he was a heartless man.
Yun Yaoyao's inner gossip radar immediately ticked. She looked at Ning Shouli aside and joked: "It looks like Ning Shangshu is about to have a daughter-in-law."
Ning Shouli coughed lightly and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, follow the procedure."
Yun Yaoyao looked solemn and raised her voice: "Who is there? What is the injustice?"
Ning Shoujiang knelt on the ground, with his back straight, and replied with a sonorous stroke: "Your Majesty, the humble minister Ning Shoujiang sued King Ze for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, betraying military intelligence, resulting in the loss of the two cities, and the capture of the humble minister!"
As soon as this was said, everyone was in an uproar.
Yun Yaoyao walked slowly towards the city wall, her hair flying under her jade crown, her clothes fluttering: "Do you have any evidence?"
"have!"
A group of border troops who followed Ning Shoujiang back to the imperial city escorted a man, kicked his legs, and made him kneel on the ground.
Ning Shoujiang said with anger on his face: "Your Majesty, this person's name is Chen Lijing, he is appointed as the border staff officer, and the crucial battle with the Xiongnu was exactly his plan that was leaked in advance!
Yun Yaoyao looked down at the tied figure and said in a cold voice: "Chen Lijing, do you agree or not with what Ning Shoujiang said?"
Chen Lijing closed his eyes with a look of despair and despair.
Now the die is done, King Ze can't survive, and neither can he. He can only pray that his family will have a good ending.
The blame is that I was too greedy and actually betrayed important military information for personal gain.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers recognize it!" Xu thought of his fate, Chen Lijing's voice trembled, and she shed tears of regret and fear.
"Wei Chen was ordered by King Ze to leak all the information about the general to the Xiongnu!"
The common people immediately shouted angry curses, and the Imperial Guards quickly suppressed the commotion.
Yun Yaoyao had no sympathy for this kind of person, and wished she could just let the common people slap him to death.
Yun Yaoyao continued: "We have witnesses, but where is the physical evidence?"
Ning Shoujiang took out a document from his arms: "This document was written by the Xiongnu Khan himself. It explains the truth about the loss of two cities in a row, and it states that it was leaked by Chen Lijing."
However, the Xiongnu Khan was very cunning and insisted that it was Chen Lijing. He did not tell the real person behind the scenes because he did not want Yan Chi to have an easy time.
But Ning Shoujiang has received a secret order from Yun Yaoyao. In special times, he can talk nonsense appropriately and accuse him of crimes.
So Ning Shoujiang said seriously: "Although it was not stated above that the real mastermind behind the scenes was King Ze, when King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu tortured the minister, he thought that the minister would not survive, so he said it himself that the mastermind behind the scenes was King Ze. It’s King Ze.”
Censor Ni Tiezui, who followed Ning Shoujiang back from the border, nodded quickly: "Wei Chen can testify that this document was indeed written by the Xiongnu Khan himself, as one of the conditions for returning the hostage. There is also the totem of the Xiongnu Khan on it. .”
Ning Shoujiang and a group of border troops knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and raised their voices: "Now that the human and material evidence are there, they all point to King Ze's collaboration with the enemy and treason, and betraying military intelligence!"
"I, my ministers, please make the decision to kill King Ze in order to sacrifice the dead border officers and the people of the two cities!!"
Hearing this, the people's anger grew even higher, and even the Imperial Army found it difficult to suppress it.
"Kill King Ze!"
"Kill King Ze!!"
"Kill King Ze!!!"
On the city wall, all the ministers were furious.
Forget about internal fighting, they actually colluded with the Xiongnu and gave up the two cities for nothing. Is this human? ? ?
So, they also came up to remonstrate one after another, shouting that King Ze should be killed immediately!
Taishi Tu, who was not far away, looked stunned. After greeting King Ze's family, he quickly left in dejection.
Now that all the personal and material evidence are available, it is still a heinous crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason that cost two cities, which has aroused public outrage.
This time, killing Tu Shanze is what the people want, so it's logical. He can't escape no matter what!
Yun Yaoyao said in a cold voice: "King Tize, execute him in public!"
