I Thought I Was Straight - Chapter 122
After sending Li Zhi to the place, the military adviser turned around and went to find Yan Ge. He told Yan Ge about Li Zhi’s behavior that seemed to be sick, and after listening to it, Yan Ge comforted him: “He will leave him alone and let him die on his own.”
The military division thinks the same, there is really no need to get angry because of this kind of insanity.
People in the court didn’t know that Li Zhi would write a memorial so quickly and hand it over. This memorial was first sent to the Ministry of War. The Minister of the Ministry of War immediately slapped his thigh when he saw it, shouting that he was indeed a wolf with ambition, and then hurried to the palace to meet the emperor. went.
Faced with the anger of the Minister of War, Li Xiu was very skeptical with this memorial. First of all, he certainly didn’t believe that Yan Ge was such a person. Secondly, he felt that the preface written by Li Zhi’s memorial didn’t match the postscript. Since it was written as soon as he arrived, how did he know that Yan Ge deceived the king? Since he hadn’t even seen the barracks, how did he know that Yan Ge bribed the generals to plot something wrong?
He put down the report, and said to the indignant Minister of the Ministry of War, “You don’t have to do this, I think there must be a misunderstanding.”
“Is there any misunderstanding?” The Minister of War stared at him and said, “Could it be that Li Zhi deliberately wronged him?”
That’s not necessarily the case, Li Xiu thought so in her heart, and persuaded: “You can’t listen to what the family says, how about this, I will write a letter to Yan Ge and ask him if these are true.”
Minister of the Ministry of War Shuxin said that if you ask him like this, can he admit it? Just when he wanted to refute and wanted Li Xiu to directly send someone to capture Yan Ge back, Li Xiu ordered Chen Hong to send him out of the palace.
In the letter, Li Xiu greeted Yan Ge as usual, and then said that I absolutely believe in you, and you can fight with peace of mind. Everything is with me. But I still want to justify myself, so that I can explain to the ministers, and then I stuffed Li Zhi’s memorial together and sent it to the southwest.
When Yan Ge opened the envelope, he was fine, but the generals under Military Division Ke were so angry that they almost went berserk on the spot. If Yan Ge hadn’t stopped him, they would have rushed over to grab Li Zhi and cut him into a stick.
The military adviser said with a cold face: “This Li Zhi, I can’t stay.”
Yan Ge nodded, and his general Zhang Mang immediately said: “General, leave this matter to the humble officer, and the inferior position will definitely make his death worse!”
Yan Ge waved his hand and said, “He died right after he published this memorial. In the eyes of those courtiers, doesn’t it appear that we have a guilty conscience and are killing people to silence us?”
“The general is right.” The military adviser said, “We can’t kill him yet.”
“Then what should we do?” Zhang Mang said: “Do you want to continue to watch him be arrogant?”
“Of course not.” Yang Ge touched his chin and said, “We have to let him die in a fair manner.”
What kind of death can be called an aboveboard death? Yan Ge said that he was unable to complain of injustice if he died.
Li Zhi wrote the letter and reported it, but he has not waited for the news of the imperial court’s disposal of Yan Ge. He couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Could it be that the news of the imperial court’s handling of Yan Ge had already been sent, but it was concealed from Yan Ge. Is he really planning to rebel?
Don’t look at his crazy appearance before, it’s just because he has the imperial court as his backing, if Yang Ge really rebelled, wouldn’t he be the superintendent who can be used to sacrifice the flag?
Just when he was in panic all day long, Yan Ge sent someone to ask him to discuss matters.
After Li Zhixin finished speaking, he was about to take the knife on himself. He almost cried in fright, and was taken to the big tent by several soldiers, and saw Yan Ge tremblingly.
Yan Ge was very kind, and took out the map to discuss the next battle plan with Li Zhi.
When Li Zhi saw that Yan Ge didn’t intend to kill him, he was more polite to him, knowing that he must have been beaten by the court. As a result, he became even more aggressive, facing Yang Ge with a nose, not a nose, and eyes, not eyes. Even if he didn’t know anything about fighting, he always interrupted what Yan Ge said, taught him a lesson, and then directed blindly.
Yan Ge smiled the whole time, saying yes to everything he said. In the end, Li Zhi became more and more swollen, and even wanted to replace Yang Ge in commanding the battle. Yan Ge looked at Li Zhi’s ridiculous battle plan, and said: “The plan of supervising the army is really risky, and I dare not follow it.”
Li Zhi said with disdain on his face: “The general is so timid as a mouse, how can he win the battle?”
Yan Ge smiled and said, “So the supervising army thinks it will definitely win?”
“Of course.” Li Zhi said proudly: “Although I am a civil servant, it’s not like I haven’t read the art of war.”
Yan Ge nodded and said: “Since that’s the case, why not write down the plan and report it to the imperial court, so that if something happens…”
Hearing what Yan Ge said, Li Zhi was very disdainful. He felt that Yan Ge just didn’t want to take responsibility. How could such a person who didn’t take responsibility be the commander? It’s better to replace me.
At this time, he was already in a daze, and wrote this memorial in a daze under the stimulation of Yang Ge. In the report, he wrote how cowardly Yan Ge was, and that it was he who insisted on making this battle plan. In short, he praised himself to the limit and demoted Yang Ge like something. Yan Ge smiled after seeing the content, and added another memorial of his own.
It says that Li Zhi has been very arrogant since he came to the southwest, and he threatened to sue His Majesty if he was dissatisfied with him. After I received a letter of reprimand from His Majesty last time, I was so wronged and so wronged that I did not appeal. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi was even more arrogant and forcibly intervened in the battle. He also threatened to write a report and sue His Majesty, insisting that I fight according to his nonsense battle plan. I have told His Majesty all this, if something happens to me, I hope His Majesty will not blame me.
When this letter was sent to the capital, Yan Ge also lost the first battle according to Li Zhi’s battle plan, and not only that, he was carried back.
When Li Zhi watched Yan Ge being carried back covered in blood, he was completely stunned, how could he lose? How could his wonderful battle plan fail? Li Zhi was so frightened that his whole body turned cold.
Li Xiu in the capital saw Yan Ge’s report, and was angry and guilty at the same time, and shed tears on the spot.
He circulated this memorial to the courtiers in the early court, and then said with grief and indignation: “This is the candidate you selected to supervise the army Shangjia? If something happens to the general, can you take it?”
This memorial not only contains the memorial of Yan Ge, but also the memorial written by Li Zhi himself, which cannot be denied. So the courtiers were all at a loss for words, and after a while, the Minister of the Ministry of War said: “I thought that Yan Ge was the commander-in-chief of the army. Li Zhi couldn’t compare in terms of official position and prestige. Since he knew that Li Zhi’s battle plan was nonsense, why did he listen to him?” of? Isn’t this wrong to the country?”
Seeing that they still haven’t let go of Yan Ge, Li Xiu said sarcastically: “Isn’t it because I’m afraid of you? If you didn’t just see Li Zhi’s false report, you insisted on dealing with Yan Ge, he How could you not dare to refute Li Zhi? You guys are really my good ministers!”
All the ministers blushed at Li Xiu’s words, but they couldn’t say anything to refute.
Minister of Rites cautiously suggested: “How about changing someone to supervise the army?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hong walked into the Huangji Hall and said, “Report, Your Majesty, there are eight hundred miles to the southwest to expedite delivery.”
Li Xiudao: “Submit it quickly.”
After opening the envelope, Li Xiu opened it and saw the news that Yan Ge was seriously injured after our army’s defeat. His eyes went dark on the spot, and he almost passed out.
Seeing Li Xiu’s face suddenly changed, the courtiers all had a bad premonition in their hearts. With red eyes, Li Xiu asked Chen Hong to take the report down and pass it on to the courtiers. The Shangshu of the Ministry of War saw it, and his face changed drastically on the spot. Everyone at the scene supported Li Zhi to be the military supervisor at the beginning, but now everyone is pale and speechless.
Li Xiu finally couldn’t help it, pointed at everyone and said angrily, “If something happens to my great general, I will let all of you be buried with him!”
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and all the civil and military men in the court limp and knelt on the ground.
“Order!” Li Xiu said hysterically, “Let Yan Ge go back to Beijing for treatment, and send Li Zhi back. I will make him die in front of all of you!”
Because Li Zhi’s arrogance not only injured Yan Ge, but also caused the army to be defeated, not to mention Ling Chi, even if it hurt the Nine Clans. The courtiers were very guilty, and no one dared to intercede for him.
This imperial decree was sent to the southwest, and all the soldiers in the southwest were so happy that each of them ate an extra bowl of rice, which was very satisfying.
Yan Ge was indeed injured, but it was not that serious. He did it on purpose, and it looked serious, but in fact it was just a look.
He asked the military adviser to write a letter, saying that Yan Ge was seriously injured and should not be bumped and could only stay in the southwest to recover slowly. And he is worried about the war, even if he is seriously injured, he still wants to stay and continue to command the battle.
A letter filled with a courtier’s heart to serve the country, really moved everyone who saw it to tears.
Li Xiu couldn’t help crying in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. While crying, he ordered Li Zhi to be taken to Lingchi immediately, and all the officials had to watch. Sobbing and sobbing, he asked the imperial doctors to go to the southwest to treat Yang Ge, and finally he wrote back to Yang Ge, in which he regretted that he sent Li Zhi to supervise the army, and expressed his concern.
After sending the letter, he still felt that it was not enough, and felt that the piece of paper could not carry a ten-thousandth of his heart.
Yan Ge received the reply and knew that Li Zhi had been executed by Ling Chi. Half of the ministers who watched were scared and had nightmares at night and were sick and unable to get out of bed. He laughed three times, and rewarded the army by killing hundreds of pigs that night.
The smiles on the faces of the military advisers and soldiers never stopped, and they all praised Yang Ge’s trick. Not only did he get rid of Li Zhi, but he also took revenge on those officials in the capital. It was very satisfying.
Yan Ge thought that this kind of method was not enough to reflect one ten-thousandth of his insidiousness, so the emperor would not send any more supervisors. His subordinates can fight with peace of mind, and he can happily pretend to be sick to prepare for things after returning to Beijing.
They were in high spirits, poor Li Xiu couldn’t sleep all night because she was worried about Yan Ge, and she lost a lot of weight in just a few days. As soon as he closed his eyes, Yan Ge looked covered in blood. As soon as he couldn’t speak, he got up and wrote to Yang Ge. After finishing writing, he thought that Yan Ge was hurt like this, and he wrote to bother him. So he threw the letter full of his heart into a box aside and locked it, and silently cried to the moon until dawn.
