If Su Lie is really an opportunist in the eyes of those young people, after sitting in a high position, he will do his best to win over his friends in order to consolidate his shaky position, but he just disdains to embark on this road, and always sticks to the true character of a man who is upright and loyal to the country.

After the military disaster in the border fortress was lifted, Su Lie led the team and returned to Chang'an to meet His Majesty the Emperor with a triumphant song, and told how the heroic guards of the Great Wall cleared 30,000 enemy bandits in a short period of time in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

After the debriefing, some people immediately criticized him in the court, saying that he defeated a mere 30,000 enemy bandits with 80,000 male soldiers, and the victory was entirely due to the numerical superiority. What kind of lion journey is it?

One person spoke up, several people echoed, and the vicious words bit Su Lie like a small snake, making him miserable.

He looked at the fat emperor sitting on the dragon chair, hoping that the monarch would support him as he did last time, he had no idea of bullying others, he only hoped that the monarch would stand up and say a fair word.

However, the upright Su Lie was disappointed.

Last time, the emperor stood on his side, not for fairness and justice, but to solve the urgent need that no one was willing to lead troops to the border.

Now that the crisis is over, there are joyful songs in Chang'an City, and the side plug is also calm, but the person in front of him is as stupid as a solid radish, how can there be the courtiers who laugh at him when he is happy, and change the way to amuse him when he is troubled? This kind of person is the same type as the boots he wears on his feet, no, even if it is boots, he will still pick up beautiful styles and colors to wear, so it is better to abandon Su Lie like a shoe, and it can be regarded as lifting him......

The Emperor was sitting precariously, and I am afraid that from the last dynasty to the present, only this time was the quietest, as if he could not see or hear everything that was happening, because the sound of a fly flapping its wings outside the main hall was too noisy to distract him.

Su Lieeng is capable of writing and martial arts, on the surface, he looks at the golden knife of Malaysia, and is accustomed to spit out his chest, but he also beats a seven-trick exquisite heart in his chest. The emperor reacted like this, did he still need words to express his contempt for himself?

The chamber of the cannon on the battlement was not cold, and the 80,000 soldiers were still waiting for the reward of the imperial court, looking forward to the day when they could return to their hometown in glorious clothes, and all of this was all in vain in this magnificent palace.

For a while, Su Lie forgot about himself, and he didn't have time to report his contempt and indignation, the first thing that came to his heart was disappointment, sadness, and the guilt of not being able to face the soldiers who were like brothers and sisters.

The scene in the Golden Palace was chaotic, and the emperor was not willing to deal with the fool who did not know the current affairs, but as the king of a country, he could not talk about nothing.

The flies that attracted him outside the hall seemed to have flown away, and he twisted the thick neck that had been pulled down by the layers of thick flesh and opened his mouth.

Your Majesty has something to say, who would dare to make a mistake? The gossiping people at the foot of the heavenly stairs immediately quieted down, and the most harsh and fierce few of them shrunk their necks a little shorter, secretly exchanging glances, complaining to each other, why didn't they remind each other that the emperor was a reckless man who came from afar to ask for merit and reward.

"Su Lie," the emperor said leisurely, his voice hoarse from exhaustion due to excessive pleasure, "I appreciate the exploits of the Great Wall Guards at Jiayu Pass, and I am willing to reward you and give you a second rank to be retained in the palace." However, Zhongqing's analysis is reasonable, you use the strength of a full 80,000 male soldiers to confront a mere 30,000 enemy soldiers, this kind of victory is really not appreciated. You have to think clearly, 80,000 soldiers, but the imperial food allocated by our imperial court, assuming that the soldiers can fight off 30,000 enemy soldiers with the strength of 10,000 people, the official grain depot only needs to allocate 10,000 soldiers' grain and grass. However, in this battle, you were provided with supplies for 80,000 people, and the cost was so great that it was a loss to the treasury. ”

"What?" Su Lie was indignant when he heard it, but he was happy with the ministers who spoke ill of him. Their fears vanished in an instant, and they echoed the emperor's outrageous words, as disgusting as the locusts that love to suck blood on human legs.

Su Lie arched his hand upwards and said frankly: "Your Majesty, the personal honor and disgrace of the last general is like a floating cloud, which is not worth mentioning. However, the 80,000 soldiers on the register belong to the entire composition of the Great Wall Guard Army, and are not recruited only for the chariot capital. ”

"Huh? How dare you refute me in court? How can this be true, it is simply unreasonable! The Emperor was furious, and his face, which was full of murderous intent.

This is the best time to kill Su Lie, the thorn in his eye, otherwise as long as the person is alive, even if there is still a tone, it is a threat, and the ministers hurriedly shouted again, accusing Su Lie of bullying the king, so bold and reckless, roaring the court, it is really a crime that deserves death, and it should be sentenced to car splitting!

Su Lie was stunned, he recalled the grand scene when he walked into Chang'an City in glory: the people dressed in festive costumes and cheered, and paid high respect to him and the guards of the Great Wall with their smiling faces as bright as colorful flowers, the children ran after the high-headed horses ridden by the general, the girls shyly offered embroidered brocade ribbons to the soldiers and boys, and the old people insisted on stuffing eggs and steamed buns into their hands......

"I was wrong, there will be no real glory in the ruling class on high, and the bricks and tiles not only build magnificent palaces, but also hide the dirty and ugly nature of the rulers. I shouldn't have walked into this place full of flattery and greedy desires, and at this time of celebration, why didn't I stay with my brothers, but chose to go back to Chang'an in person?! ”

Thinking sadly, Su Lie clenched his fists. He wields a broadsword and spear in the face of his enemies, and he clenches his fists in the face of "his own people", how unwilling he is to do so, but the anger that has accumulated in his chest makes him have no choice......

The emperor asked pretentiously: "Su Qing, I am the emperor of the world, and I will never wrongfully wronged meritorious ministers." The accusations against you are really coming from the impeachment of you by officials from all walks of life, whether you accept it or not, it is impossible for so many families to be dissatisfied with you at the same time. ”

Su Lie forced himself to come to his senses, even though his eyes were still red. He loosened his fist and gritted his teeth and replied, "Your Majesty, you think that the Great Wall Guards have failed in this battle, and Your Majesty should accept your ruling without complaint. ”

"Well, that's what it sounds like." The emperor didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, but nodded with a smile, and he should have compromised.

At this time, some people among the courtiers raised their arms and shouted: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, if you don't kill them, it's not enough to win the hearts of the people!" Long live my emperor, I beg this person to be sentenced to death and beheaded for public display! ”

"Who dares to kill me, General Su Lie? Those who dare to touch a single of his hair, try the treasure knife on my Huang Zhao's waist first! ”

Before the clamor could finish speaking, the courtiers of the third class broke out in anger at the end, and then jumped out of the famous man, ran to Su Lie's side in three steps and two steps, and stood with him.

"Huang Zhao? What are you doing here? Get out of here! Su Lie scolded angrily.
