Chapter 488: praying mantis

   Qi Haoran looked at the former adjutant kneeling at his feet with a cold face, and said nothing.

Vice Admiral Zhong surrounded the former adjutant with his people, waiting for Qi Haoran's order. In the basin, three thousand soldiers and torches looked at them silently, and the situation was about to explode.

Lin Fuguan, who was standing behind Qi Haoran, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but leaned into Qi Haoran's ear and admonished, "General Qi, the former adjutant is also under orders, please also take part in lenient handling."

Deputy General Zhong, who was standing not far from Qi Haoran, heard his brows slightly raised, and was a little surprised. The rebels who attacked the official residence were really led by the people of the court?

Qi Haoran was furious when he heard this, stared at him with wide eyes, and roared in a low voice: "Deal with leniency? Jinghu rebels 130,000, do you dare to kill all of them? We only have 3,000. Man, are you planning to let us be crushed into meat sauce, or are you trying to contain all the troops in the southwest and the middle here? Stupid!!!"

Adjutant Lin's face was flushed, but he couldn't say anything to refute. They also obeyed orders, but I wonder if Qi Haoran knew that he was scolding the emperor.

Qi Haoran lowered his head to look at the former adjutant, with a stern look on his face, and said, "This matter will not be investigated for the time being, but if you don't obey orders and act privately, we will take your sacrifice flag."

Adjutant Yuan and Adjutant Lin looked at each other and bowed their heads.

Qi Haoran snorted coldly and asked, "Where's Adjutant Ye who came with you?"

The three adjutants were sent by the emperor to monitor him. Qi Haoran also knew that they had their own tasks. Because the three were not military generals, he never thought of dispatching them. Who knew that he would just let them go. such a big deal.

"Adjutant Ye went back to Beijing to report."

A cold light flashed in Qi Haoran's eyes, and he didn't even notify him when he returned to Beijing. It seemed that he was so generous to them before that they all forgot that he was their immediate Shangguan now.

Deputy General Zhong's eyes flashed slightly, and there was a touch of sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Qi Haoran. Qi Haoran just pretended he didn't see it, and waved to Deputy General Zhong to tell everyone to cook rice, rest here for a night, and head to Yongzhou tomorrow.

Qi Haoran returned to the tent, sat at the table for a while, and finally picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Mu Yangling, writing down what he knew, and asked her to quickly find Fan Zijin to discuss a solution, because he thought hard For several days, there was still no good way to get him out of suspicion.

If someone else did this, he would definitely be able to pull people into the water without even thinking about it. Who told him to dare to plot against him?

But the emperor is behind this incident. If it were to be exposed, the officials of the world would be afraid.

A monarch can behead corrupt officials with justification, and he is also willing to kill an unreasonable emperor in a fit of rage, or even kill without reason. With integrity and a dark heart, officials in the world still have to be in a state of panic?

So this black pot is either the traitor or Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran himself is not taking the blame, so naturally he will not take the blame for this guilt selflessly, so he can only push the matter on the traitor as much as possible.

But these idiot adjutants accidentally left traces, and now how to explain and how to eliminate these evidences has become the most troublesome moment for him.

Qi Haoran spurned himself as he wrote this. He wanted to rebel, but before he rebelled, he had to stand with the emperor so firmly and was committed to shirk his guilt.

Emperor Jingyan was still having fun in the harem at this time, and he called a few concubines to play in the pool together. I touched it honestly, and said indifferently when I heard the words: "Put it in the imperial study first, I will be there in a while."

The inner supervisor was familiar with the emperor's character and knew that he would be angered if he continued talking at this time, so he resigned very respectfully.

The emperor hugged Chang Zaida and kissed him, then laughed loudly: "Beauty is really delicious."

After the emperor's "a while", the sky was already dark, he went to the imperial study room Shi Shiran after dinner, frowned slightly when he saw that Adjutant Ye was still kneeling in the imperial study room, and waved: "Get up."

Adjutant Ye reported the situation in Jinghu, and finally asked: "Your Majesty, those rebels are now in a state of indignation and are heading down Yongzhou. I am afraid that several county officials and prefects after that will also be affected. I'm planning to take people to protect those government offices and county towns."

"Qi Haoran has only 3,000 people, can he fight against 130,000 people?"

"There are also garrisoned troops in all prefectures and county towns..."

The    emperor snorted softly and said, "If they do something, the rebellion in Jinghu will not last for three years without stopping.

The emperor said annoyed: "Let them make trouble. When those bandits and people clean up the corrupt officials in Jinghu, my army will also surround them?"

"Then," Adjutant Ye asked hesitantly, "What about General Qi?"

The emperor smiled and said: "Don't worry, no one can do anything to him without definite evidence, this kind of thing will end in confusion, and everyone will be busy quelling the rebellion at that time, who will pay attention to this? If it is a court official If you're not convinced, I will demote Qi Haoran's official position a little, and I will compensate him later, you don't need to talk too much when you go back this time, just pay attention to his actions secretly."

Adjutant Ye bowed his head in response.

Eunuch Bai brewed tea for the emperor after Adjutant Ye left, and asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, there have been more and more cases of impeachment against General Qi recently. Can this really be suppressed?"

The emperor snorted softly and said, "Most of those documents are from Prime Minister Qin. As long as I tell Prime Minister Qin, will he dare to disobey the emperor's orders? Let Qi Haoran attract everyone's attention again, and wait for the army in the southwest and central regions to arrive. Let's talk about Jinghu."

Eunuch Bai was a little worried, afraid that things would exceed the emperor's expectations. After all, the emperor was always prone to some mistakes when he decided to do certain things alone.

The emperor didn't know Eunuch Bai's concerns. He was taking out the list of newly admitted Shuji Shi, and he roughly finalized the list of new officials in his heart. This time the officialdom in the Jinghu area has undergone a blood change, he must All replaced with their own.

At this time, Qin Xiang was also making arrangements, "Tell someone to take the account book back and sell it. For the new sages who came in this year, you can find some poor and innocent people, get in touch with them secretly, and try to help them as much as possible. Don't mention the truth, just let them think that you sympathize with them and win people over."

"Qin Xiang, didn't we like to choose children with family backgrounds before, why this time?"

"That's because it was easier for children with family backgrounds to get ahead, but now the emperor is suspicious of me, and he wants to replace his own people, naturally those poor children who have no foundation are more useful." Qin Xiang sneered, "Just let He thinks those people are his people." I don't mind lying to him for another ten years. Qin Xiang secretly said in his heart.
