> "Minister... Capital crime! ”

Ge Yiren opened his mouth, and finally bowed his head to confess, he understood that when the secret guards arrested him, all the evidence of his guilt had been mastered, and it was useless to say anything now.

"Hmph, I thought you would use your three-inch tongue to shake your lips and puff your cheeks, reversing black and white." Xiao Ming got up and came to Ge Yiren, "Back then, you switched to King Zhao after the death of the previous emperor, and I could have beheaded you with just this point, but I didn't care about this matter, and still let you enter the cabinet, a very popular minister, I hope you can really change your mind and do your part for the empire, but how do you do it?" “

Ge Yiren lowered his head, several days of prison life had made his intestines repent, hearing this, he suddenly howled and cried, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die for my crimes, I shouldn't believe the words of Ren He, let alone usurp power in a delusional way, so far, the old minister has nothing to say, I just hope that the emperor can give the old minister a decent death." “

Xiao Ming sighed slightly, he had already given Ge Yiren a chance, but he had gone too far, he never expected that Ge Yiren would carry the red flag against the red flag, and a system for correcting the thoughts of the people of the empire had all been harmed by him.

With this alone, he couldn't keep Ge Yiren's gang anymore.

"Plotting against usurpation of power, according to the laws of the Great Yu Kingdom, I should be connected to the nine clans, and now I have only disposed of you and others and have not affected your relatives, you should be content."

Xiao Ming said coldly, now that he has cultivated a hard-hearted heart, he must set a model for such rebellion, how can he save him any face.

Ge Yiren's head hung lower, he already knew what Xiao Ming meant, if he said it again, I was afraid that it would cause a greater disaster.

Walking past Ge Yiren, Xiao Ming came to Luo Hong, compared to Ge Yiren, although Luo Hong knelt on the ground, his upper body was straight, his face was unruly, and he looked like he was at home.

Without waiting for Xiao Ming to speak, Luo Xin suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, my brother is really confused for a while, under the persuasion of the last general, he already has the intention of repenting, and I hope that the emperor will be gracious!" “

"Luo Xin, you don't have to intercede for me, a manly man, one person does things and one person does things, I am working behind the Luo family and Ge Yiren's back, and those generals who started the incident have all accepted my will." Luo Honglang said.

Pang Yukun's eyes were filled with some regret, Luo Hong was also a brave and loyal general, and he made great achievements for the establishment of the empire.

In the blink of an eye, these ministers became rebellious, and he, the head of the cabinet, was not a taste, he couldn't help but say: "Luo Hong, the emperor treats you well, why did you do such a ridiculous thing?" ”

"Treat me well?" Luo Hong laughed, with a hint of sadness in his voice, "After the Chang'an Rebellion, I was ordered by the emperor to lead the firearms battalion to defect to the emperor who was still the king of Qi at that time. The reform of the six military regions, but I rose and descended secretly, but let Zhu Sansi become the commander of the military region, is this what Mingjun did? ”

When he spoke, Luo Hong looked at Xiao Ming without fear.

"Hmph, the six military regions let your Luo family occupy two, and you are not happy if you don't give it, is your Luo family trying to rebel?"

Seeing that Luo Hong was so rude, Zhan Xingchang's heart was on fire.

"This commander is based on merit, and whether he has two of them has anything to do with the Luo family, in the final analysis, the emperor does not trust our Luo family." Luo Hong pushed back with a word.

Zhan Xingchang sneered and said: "Luo Hong, you can't help but think too highly of yourself, you did perform well in the battle of the vassal kings back then, but when it comes to credit, are you comparable to the Huainan King and Yongwang who poured the power of Huainan to help the emperor sweep the north and took the initiative to cut down the domain?" If that's the case, this commander should also be Cui Shangan and Xiao Zhongyi, what does it have to do with you?"

"Besides, Zhu Sansi of the Eastern Military Region, everyone is doing hard work, first fighting the Tsarist Russians in the far north, when the commander of this military region is also a bare-bones commander, and he goes to Alaska, where birds don't, they all say that he is the commander of the military region, and don't the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty say that he is actually the commander of the expeditionary force? Let you Luo Hong go? Are you willing to go? ”

After Zhan Xingchang's words, Luo Hong's face suddenly turned red, he looked at Cui Shang'an with a sarcastic face, and opened his mouth but found that he couldn't find a rebuttal.

He fought a lot of battles, but in terms of his contribution to the empire, he was naturally inferior to King Huainan and King Yong.

Although Cui Shangan is now in the General Staff, he has no military power in his hands, and he is often ridiculed as the emperor's royal herald in the army.

And Xiao Zhongyi, the son of King Yong, was transferred to Manila as the governor a while ago.

Cui Shangan said slowly: "Luo Hong, the emperor gave you a position in the army, it's just that you are unwilling, but you forget that the emperor gave you what you can take, not for you, you can't rob it, this is where you are not as good as Luo Xin, which is why Luo Xin can become the commander of the military region, but you are now a prisoner." ”

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, in fact, many courtiers saw Luo Hong's temperament, he was a good general, but he was too ambitious.

He saw this during the battle of the vassal kings, and for the sake of his career, he showed some eagerness for quick success.

And for such a capable and ambitious person, no one will use it with confidence, which is why he hides Luo Hong.

"Luo Hong, what I want to say, Zhan Xingchang has already said for me, even with your merits, the commanders of these six military regions will not be your turn, and now it turns out that my original decision was right, just because you didn't get the official position you wanted, you resented me, usurped power and rebelled, there are thousands of officials in this empire who are dissatisfied with me, is it that each of them has to oppose me because of the promotion and promotion of official positions."

After a pause, Xiao Ming said sternly: "As the king of a country, what I am thinking about is the long-term peace and stability of the empire, but you only have your own power desire in your heart, Luo Hong, you ask yourself, can I feel at ease if I hand over a military region to you?" Can the Manchu civil and military be at ease? Can the people of the empire be at ease?"

His face turned from red to white, Luo Hong's arrogant momentum at the beginning gradually decreased, thinking back to this time, all he had in his mind was dissatisfaction with his official position, and he had a trace of responsibility for the empire.

Thinking of this, he fell silent.

"Why don't you speak, you don't have the face to say it." Xiao Ming snorted coldly, "You Luo Hong has indeed won a lot of battles, but now you Luo Hong is at least standing on top of this temple, and what about the soldiers who died on the battlefield to pave the way for your career?" They fought bloodily for you, Luo Hong, usurping power today! Wrong! They are for the prosperity of the empire, and you are not ashamed to step on their bones and do things that have troubled the empire! “
