No shortage of walls

Song Xingdao:"I am happy to stand upright, but no matter how fierce a general Long Quan is, he is nothing more than a reckless man. Someone came and removed Long Quan's court uniform, demoted him to a fifth-grade military attache, and sent him to the army commander Liu Jingyun as a general." Quan, if I hadn't seen that you are my father, King Jing's former subordinate, I would never have spared you lightly based on what happened today."

The Hu envoy was shocked. This little emperor is really a ruthless person. Long Quan is still a second-rank official. Even if he is punished, he can be demoted to the third and fourth ranks. However, he did not expect that this emperor would be so cruel at such a young age. Falling from the second level to the fifth level is like falling from the sky to the ground.

Next to Huang Quan came out. He cupped his hands and said:"Your Majesty, calm down! General Long's mistake has been reviewed by Wei Chen and Lord Liu. It is indeed a dereliction of duty. He did not use power for personal gain and partnered with private businessmen for profit. Your Majesty's punishment is too severe. Please think twice and take it back." Imperial decree."

Song Xingdao:"The goods of Xu Dong, Hu State, and Song Dynasty will not be sold to Qi people for a year. I still say it myself. In just one year, Long Quan can't control it. What can such a talent do? At most, he is just a military attaché. Fortunately, he didn't use his power for personal gain, otherwise I would definitely have him executed. Mr. Huang, my lords, please don't plead for him, I have already made up my mind." When he said that he would be executed, his eyes glanced over, and Liu Chengwen's heart trembled.

Song Xing originally told him to listen. What he does is his problem.

The internal prison officer had already come over, and he and the officials from the Ministry of Personnel took Long Quan to the side hall and changed into the fifth-grade court uniform. Long Quan came out to thank him. Song Xing looked at him coldly, just waved his hand and said nothing.

Long Quan kowtowed, cupped his hands, and exited the palace door step by step before turning around. When the ministers saw his tall body bent down, they knew his loss and felt sorry for him.

Now the Prince Jing is the emperor, and he has reached the second rank, but in the end he is just a warrior who rushes into the battlefield. He is incompetent to manage a Yuzhou Pass, and even let the barbarians file a complaint before the Holy Lord. This is too embarrassing. Now that I am older, my future will be in doubt, and I can’t help but feel it’s a pity.

Song Xing saw Long Quan going out. He said:"Emissary Lin, no matter what you say, it is the fault of my employer. The Ministry of Rites entertains the envoy well for me. I will give you some benefits next year for the business. I will not return until yesterday. I am really a little tired."." After saying that, he returned to the harem.

The eunuch hurriedly called to retreat, but before the Hu envoy could react, the emperor had already left, so he had no choice but to give up. Thinking that the Song Emperor had already given the Hu state a lot of face, he demoted a second-rank official to a fifth-rank official, and promised Your own court will benefit next year. If others can do it, what else can I say?

In fact, the Hu people also suspected that the Song Dynasty had done it intentionally. They said that seven private merchants were arrested, the men were executed, and the women were made into slaves. There were names posted on the Yuzhou gate, but the murders had not been seen. The so-called execution of the entire family just means execution of the entire family.

But using this method to contain the power between the two princes within the Qi court is actually of great benefit to the Hu people. The Hu people have also fought with Qi before, and now that the Qi people have entered Wu and Tunyue, their strength will be great. It's too big, and the barbarians are actually afraid of the people who are driving Wu and Yue away. Who the hell is willing to fight with a madman? That person from Wuyue had to die for the sake of his family, which was more terrifying than a madman. If the Song Dynasty court used this method to balance the power of the two factions in the Qi people and let the royal family fight within themselves, they would also enjoy the results.

I want to control the people through buying and selling, but I still can't do it. If the Song Dynasty hadn't divided the second and third princes of the Qi people in this way, Donghu himself really didn't know what to do. Song State controlled Qi State, which was actually good for itself, Donghu.

It's just that no matter how suspicious you are, it's just a suspicion. It's impossible for the Song Dynasty to admit it. The reason why Lin Jianjia came to the Golden Palace of the Song Dynasty to complain was just to see the reaction and see if the guess of the King Hu's court was correct. That’s all. The two countries had diplomatic relations. For the sake of a border guard, a complaint was made to the emperor of the other party. Of course, it was not just for the purpose of filing a complaint, nor was it to bring down Long Quan.

It's just a pity that suspicion is still suspicion. From the face of the Emperor of Song Dynasty, we couldn't tell that it was a set-up. He was just a sixteen-year-old kid. He shouldn't have such shameless skills, but he felt vaguely that something was wrong in his heart. However, there was no way to find out. If he deliberately Yes, that is what the emperor and Long Quan know. Who can you ask yourself?

However, the court of the Song Dynasty dealt with Long Quan in this way in front of him. He had given enough face, so what else could he say?

However, after Song Xing discussed with Liu Gongquan of the Liu Kingdom, they could not guess why the Hu people had to force Long Quan to dismount. Long Quan said that he was a second-grade military general. Pulling him down would not be of any benefit to the Hu people. It was related to the fact that the two countries are now friendly countries. If a fight really breaks out, the Hu people will not want the deputy general of His Highness King Jing, the undefeated god of war in the south, to personally lead the troops; but if a fight really starts, the Song Kingdom will not pay attention to the Hu people. Whether they are willing or not, it is not the Hu people. Can decide. After all, Long Quan is the deputy general of His Royal Highness Prince Jing. Only an orthodox emperor can say that he should be pulled down or even killed. Are you a barbarian? You must have the ability to let Long Quan die on the battlefield to kill Long Quan.

In other words, at this moment, Long Quan is in the second and fifth grades. Whether it is life or death, compared to Hu people, they will not take it seriously at all. Then why did the Hu people send people to complain to the temple? What's the intention? Is there any ulterior purpose?

Neither Song Xing nor Liu Gongquan of the Liu Kingdom could figure out what the Hu people’s intentions were.

Long Quan himself was very puzzled. He took the blame voluntarily and did not blame anyone. But he thought about it carefully, whether he should be regarded as this second-grade military general, the most relevant interest was only his own future and wealth. It has nothing to do with the Hu people, and it doesn't even have much to do with the current Song Dynasty. It doesn't mean that the current Song Dynasty will face any big problems without a military commander like himself. Without itself, the Song Dynasty would still be the Song Dynasty.

Long Quan couldn't figure it out on his own, and he was worried that the barbarians might have some conspiracy, so he felt uneasy. Knowing that he couldn't figure it out, he returned to Song Yu's residence and told Lao Xu, Wu Ren and Song Yushi softly about his affairs in the secret room.

Lao Xu said:"That's it. If the barbarians come here and complain in front of the palace, there must be a conspiracy. There is no conspiracy. The two countries are friendly at this time. There is no talk of war. They will kill all your nine tribes, so what? ? What do you have to do with the Hu people?"

Wu Ren said:"The Hu people are here to test the Holy Emperor's attitude towards Lieutenant General Long. They must have something bad in mind. With normal diplomatic relations, there is no need to test the Holy Emperor's attitude."

Song Yu said:"Since Emperor Qingyuan In the past, there have been many wars between Song and Hu. At the beginning of the prince's accession to the throne, the Hu people deceived the prince because he was young and launched a force attack at the northern border. At this time, he came to test the attitude of the emperor. Are you planning to do something? ?" As he spoke, Song Yu's eyes gradually turned into ice. He said coldly:"Song Guo is fat, I want to bite him."
