Chapter 306 Imperial Pet
On the Qingluan Hall, Emperor Liu Yu threw a fold in front of Shang Shuling Sun Junfeng and said with a condensed face, "Look, this is a fold sent by Jiang Yong for 800 miles."
Sun Junfeng picked up the folds without changing his face. After reading it at a glance, he looked up at Liu Yu: "This... The king of Lingnan Jing wrote a letter to the northwest to ask for help. Does the emperor mean that General Jiang should send troops?"
Liu Yu stared at Sun Junfeng like a sword and said coldly, "That's not what I want to say!" Jiang Yong has already sent troops to help Lingnan, and this fold is just what he sent to deal with me. How did he ever think about following my will? Lord Sun, did you help him persuade me to send him to guard the northwest border that day? Have you made a deal with him about today? Ha ha, if Lingnan is broken, the eldest brother will definitely capture a large area of our southern Tang Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with what Jiang Yong did, and I agree with it. But he should not, and should not unite with you to deceive me! He is bullying you!"
"The emperor's anger!" Sun Junfeng quickly knelt on the ground and explained repeatedly, "Your Majesty Rong Bing, at the beginning, General Jiang wanted to guard the northwest, not for his own personal gain. His wish is that the border gate of the Southern Tang Dynasty will always be peaceful, and may the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty enjoy peace and prosperity forever. I feel that he is dedicated to the country, so I can help him. I have no intention of colluding with him to bully the king! Moreover, the eldest prince's counterattack on the Southern Tang Dynasty suddenly came, and the two of us didn't have any news at all. How can we anticipate today's situation in advance, your Majesty?
Liu Yu sat on the dragon chair, looked down at Sun Junfeng, who was kneeling in the center of the hall, took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulent anger in his heart, and asked coldly, "Sun Junfeng, tell me the truth, why does Jiang Yong have to guard the northwest? Is it for that gold vein? If he is really greedy for money, just think that I was blind and saw the wrong person. But he is obviously not a greedy man, so why does he have to stay in that bitter land? Does he have other intentions? You tell me honestly. Although I am still young, I am not an ignorant child. If you dare to tell a lie, I will let your Sun family die with the Jiang family!"
Sun Junfeng's forehead sweated, and he secretly scolded Jiang Yong for being unkind and causing himself such a big trouble. However, he had a plan and knew that the emperor was only angry for a moment because he was consciously blinded at this time, and he should not really kill them. In fact, not only the emperor was angry, but he was also angry. This time, he was really killed by that bastard!
"Jiang Yong once mentioned the golden matter to his minister." Sun Junfeng gritted his teeth and told the truth: "When he asked his help that day, he once said that he went back to the northwest for that mineral vein. But what he wants is not money, but to use this relationship to get more benefits for the Northwest Army. Jiang Yong said that he came out of the Northwest Army, and his original wish was to revive the reputation of the Jiang family. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he just wants to return to the army.
"Is it that simple?" Liu Yu's eyes were cold and said, "I think he doesn't want to benefit the Northwest Army, but his son-in-law! Fifty thousand elite soldiers, he said he would send them out. He once thought in his heart that they were all my border guards, not their private soldiers of the Jiang family!"
"What Jiang Yong has done must be forced by the situation, asking the emperor to open up the Internet..."
"You are very loyal to him! When he asked you, he didn't expect that you would be responsible for accompanying him. Do you still want to talk to such a villain? Sun Junfeng!"
Liu Yu stared at Sun Junfeng and said mean words in a cold voice. He was angry that Jiang Yong refused to understand what he wanted, but made up lies to deceive himself; he was angry that Sun Junfeng did not know how to look at people, and now he still has to defend the selfish and despicable villain; even more angry that his ability is limited, and he can't make these superior ministers really submit to himself and support himself with all his heart like his father!
"The order of the minister was saved from the battlefield by General Jiang. Today, I have been carefully taught by the old general. Jiang Yong acted as a villain this time, and the minister was also angry. But in my mind, Jiang Yong is like a brother. Brothers are in trouble, and I have to save them!" Sun Junfeng raised his head and looked at Liu Yu generously.
Liu Yu's coldness gradually faded, adding a little sarcasm: "If what you said is from the bottom of your heart, then I will ask you, when the Jiang family was killed, why did you let your father ask for the crime and not save your old general?"
Sun Junfeng lowered his eyes and hid the pain: "At the beginning, the emperor personally supervised it. Even if I had the intention to fight for my life, I just added a few lives to the case, and there was nothing to make up for it. The old general once taught that the damage is useless and cannot be asked. Therefore, I resisted my impulse and kept collecting evidence for the next ten years, so that I was able to save Jiang Yong's father and daughter to return to Beijing. However... the emperor knows that I have regretted countless times that I did not risk my life to speak for the old general. Even if it doesn't help, I can still follow the old general... How can I have today's regret?"
After saying that, Sun Junfeng burst into tears and crawled to the ground and cried bitterly. It has been almost 20 years. For such a long time, how has he ever declared his regret and hatred to others? Just because if you say it once, it will be his heart once.
Liu Yu was silent for a long time, sighed and said, "Go back first."
"Your Majesty, about Jiang Yong..." Sun Junfeng looked at the throne with tears in his eyes, and the important minister in the court showed some pity.
Liu Yu responded impatiently, "Let's talk about this later. The Battle of Lingnan is the top priority. Go back and think about how to deal with this war. The 50,000 elite soldiers were sent by Jiang Yong to help, but don't become private soldiers in Lingnan like the previous soldiers. I don't want to fight a southern frontier and plant a Lingnan to rebel against my Southern Tang Dynasty.
Sun Junfeng calmed down when he heard the words, so he thanked Long En and wiped away his tears.
After Sun Junfeng came out of the hall, Liu Yu picked up the fold again and sighed: "Well, I will allow you again. But it's just three things, Lord Jiang, don't let me suffer the pain of that remorse.
The next day, Liu Yu ordered Liu Ming, the son of King Qing, to go to Lingnan Pass to supervise the army.
As for Jiang Yong, the general of the Western Expedition, who sent troops to the south without authorization, the emperor's dark announcement will not be investigated for the time being. If the battle of Lingnan is defeated, Jiang Yong will be held accountable at that time. If he was defeated, the emperor did not say anything, but the important ministers of the court had understood what he meant. Several imperial historians who wanted to impeach Jiang Yong quietly put away the folds and did not report. Hundreds of civil and military officials once again witnessed how deeply the emperor's favor was.
