Rebellion is a serious crime and will punish the nine clans.
Yang Hua suffered 3,600 blows and was beheaded alive. Except when he became an ancestor, scraping had not appeared for a long time. Unexpectedly, he saw it again today. Yang Hua kept wailing, and in the end only a head was left.
Yang Yiqing was unfavorable in the war, refused to listen to good advice, and was stubborn and self-willed. He was temporarily imprisoned in jail to await his punishment.
Zhu Houzhao was very conflicted. There were many different views in the court on whether Yang Yiqing should be killed or not. One side, led by the imperial party Jiao Fang and Liu Daxia, believed that he should be killed. It would cause the loss of Anshun and the loss of troops and generals, which was an unpardonable crime.
One side is still the imperial party, but this imperial party is not the other imperial party. It is headed by Yang Tinghe, who believes that Yang Yiqing's crime is not worthy of death, and please handle it as appropriate.
The other party is the Qingliu people. It turns out that Yang Yiqing belongs to their side. He transferred from a civil servant to a military position. If Yang Yiqing is dirty, they naturally can't hold their heads high, so they all go to court and start a war of words to protect Yang Yiqing.
As for the person involved, he was imprisoned and sat quietly in Tianzi No. 1 jail. Usually entering here is equivalent to entering the gate of hell, with no life or death. Thinking of his failure in Guizhou and the death of so many troops under his command, he only I'm afraid I'll die a hundred times without redemption.
He asked himself that he was not inferior to Wang Shouren and knew military affairs better than any general in the court. However, he was defeated because he thought he knew military affairs. He also heard the news of the great victory. Wang Shouren defeated the thieves, put down the rebellion in one fell swoop, and was promoted to the nobility. Wait, and became famous throughout the Ming Dynasty.
And what about him? When one is imprisoned for sin, death is inevitable according to the imperial edict. Why? He would come this far.
Yang Yiqing asked himself, and finally he figured out that it was his own selfishness that was at work. He wanted to be famous all over the world, wanted to overpower others, and wanted to be a Confucian general. He was blinded by fame and fortune and could not see his own shortcomings. How could he not be defeated, but this defeat was too tragic, and there was no chance for him to stand up from now on.
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of my high hopes for you, and I am ashamed of my officers and soldiers. Yang Yiqing will not be able to atone for his sins, but he hopes to die quickly to atone for his sins."
Zhu Houzhao finally decided to give Yang Yiqing a chance. After all, this person is still remarkable in history and has very good abilities. He just needs to give it a good beating, otherwise he will not be soft-hearted if he does it again in the future.
So accompanied by Liu Jin, he went to the Tianlao in a big way. Why not let him go to the palace because of his guilt? Because if that was the case, the beating effect would not be achieved. It just wanted him to understand that he had to die this time. Yang Yiqing, who had been imprisoned for almost ten days, was already devastated. He had brought all the blame on himself and had nothing to deserve sympathy. His fear and fear were all gone, and all that was left was repentance.
After Yang Yiqing realized this, he felt an unusual aura and let go of the desires in his heart. Perhaps from then on, his reputation as a Confucian general was well-deserved.
Zhu Houzhao originally planned to beat him, but after hearing what he said to himself, he gave up the idea of beating him. This is a person's inner sublimation. Unexpectedly, Yang Yiqing was a blessing in disguise and had a great enlightenment... When he thought of this word, he suddenly He had an absurd feeling. Could it be that Yang Yiqing had suddenly become a Buddha? He shook off the absurd thoughts in his mind and appeared outside the prison door where Yang Yiqing was imprisoned.
Liu Jin shouted: "Yang Yiqing, His Majesty is here in person, and you still don't kneel down to greet him."
When Yang Yiqing heard the words, he turned around calmly and saw that His Majesty was really here. He knelt down to pay homage and said, "The sinner, Yang Yiqing, kowtows to Your Majesty. Long live my emperor."
Zhu Houzhao saw that he was neither sad nor happy, and he understood in his heart, "You really have the temperament to be a monk. Do you want me to help you?" This is very tempting.
"Yang Yiqing, do you want to defend yourself against Anshun's defeat?" Zhu Houzhao said deliberately.
Yang Yiqing now knows everything, knows everything, Linglong has a clear mind, and instantly understands that his vitality has appeared. The emperor is not asking him to really defend himself, he is just beating him, and he has given him a step to walk down on his own, but if If he didn't answer well, life and death depended on His Majesty's thoughts. He didn't understand before, but since he became enlightened, he seems to understand more.
"The guilty minister did not dare to defend himself. The defeat of Anshun was actually due to the guilty minister's stubbornness and lack of good words, which led to the fall of the army. The crime is unforgivable." Yang Yiqing confessed his crime and accepted the blame.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his voice was fierce as he said, "Do you really want to die?"
Yang Yiqing bowed again, his heart trembled, he felt the emperor's murderous intention, and said, "An ant can live in vain, let alone a sinful minister?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled again. You, Yang Yiqing, were also afraid of death. I thought you had achieved enlightenment and became a Buddha. He deliberately said disdainfully: "I ask you, since you don't want to die, why don't you defend yourself?"
Yang Yiqing raised his head seriously, looked up at the emperor, and said, "If you want your minister to die, I have to die. Life and death depend on your majesty's thoughts. Life and death can be taken from you. If you defend yourself, you will die. If you don't defend yourself, you will die. I dare not beg your majesty for your forgiveness." , but you speak from your heart."
Zhu Houzhao stared at him like this for a long time. Cold sweat dripped on Yang Yiqing's forehead while staring at him, and a large area of his back was wet, and his body was weak.
Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said meaningfully: "It is said that you, Yang Yiqing, are loyal and courageous. In fact, you are a Confucian general of the country. Yao Chong and Yang Yiqing of the Tang Dynasty. You have passed my test, and you have passed your own test. I am very pleased, and I hope you will remember what I said, but based on what I said from my heart, how about I give you another word?"
Yang Yiqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he realized that the emperor seemed to really want to kill him, and now he finally escaped death. Hearing this, he quickly put on a humble attitude of listening. No matter what, he must have a correct attitude and speak his mind. : "Your Majesty, please enlighten me."
"Put a boat with a big belly and take care of yourself."
After Zhu Houzhao beat him, he left, leaving Yang Yiqing with a confused look on his face. Is Your Majesty talking about my small belly?
Soon the palace decreed that Yang Yiqing would be exempted from death penalty if defeated, but he would not be able to escape the punishment of living. He was demoted to Iron Eagle Guard Scout and immediately entered the camp.
So the new Iron Eagle Guard army welcomed a very old recruit, Duster. Even though Yang Yiqing was now enlightened, he felt that his old face was red with embarrassment, and he was almost furious. Fortunately, the emperor's warning still remained. Er, my whole body was trembling and my head was clear. Is this what His Majesty meant?
No matter what Zhu Houzhao meant, Yang Yiqing finally survived the catastrophe. Except for the imperial party headed by Jiao Fang, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Yiqing faced the most painful period of his life. Whenever he could no longer hold on, the emperor gave him a warning with a half-smile but a murderous intention. I will endure.
The new military camp is full of young people. The new military camp is also called the First Battalion of Iron Eagle Guard. It is composed of young people gathered around the capital. There are teenagers and children, but there is no such old man. Except for a few instructors, Yang Yiqing's The appearance made all the first battalion feel very strange.
Gradually, Yang Yiqing blended in. He changed his beard and cut his hair short like the teenagers in the first battalion. In this era where the body, hair and skin are influenced by the parents, this is an unfilial behavior. However, Zhu Houzhao ordered, All those entering the new military camp must have short hair to look energetic.
Naturally, the teenagers have nothing against them. They are all orphans. The emperor takes them in and teaches them what they accept. The first battalion is still a secret of the imperial court. They are fed and clothed with the best, and the training is cruel. , seeing the energetic little boys in front of him working so hard, Yang Yiqing did not dare to neglect. He learned more and more, and he also admired and understood His Majesty's method of secretly cultivating the army. I have learned from His Majesty's painstaking efforts, studied and observed with all my heart, and prepared to lead the army again in the future.
Yang Yiqing was completely captivated by the emperor's unpredictable thoughts, and another die-hard fan who was played to the point of doubting his life was born.
