What Yang Hong did not know was that the change in his expression was all seen by Zhu Qizhen.
Coupled with the previous investigation by the Network, Zhu Qizhen's suspicion of Yang Hong deepened.
Zhu Qizhen did not immediately accuse Yang Hong. After all, he did not have any evidence to prove that Yang Hong had second thoughts.
"Your Majesty, Yang Jun, Zhao Mei, Xia Zhong, and Lu Xuan have arrived." At this moment, Zhao Gao and Yuan Bin walked in with a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Beside the Embroidered Uniform Guards were four men dressed like generals.
These four people were the garrison generals of Horse Camp, Lone Stone, Dragon Guard, and Dragon Gate Thousand Households.
Yang Hong's expression changed again when he saw that Yang Jun and the other three were all escorted in in such a short time.
The eyes of the other ministers sitting in the General's Estate also flickered slightly.
Zhu Qizhen had just arrived at the Xuan Manor and sent Zhao Gao and Yuan Bin to easily capture Yang Jun and the others. It was obvious that Zhu Qizhen had already sent people to grasp the movements of the four people before coming.
As for when Zhu Qizhen sent out the people, and what kind of people he sent, they had no idea.
Thinking of this, the ministers present felt even more reverence for Zhu Qizhen!
Yang Hong was extremely nervous, and his back was sweating profusely.
Since Zhu Qi Town's people could monitor Yang Jun and the others, could they also monitor him?
Could it be that his every word and action in the Xuan Manor was under the surveillance of the people arranged by Zhu Qizhen?
Thinking of this, Yang Hong's heart was filled with uneasiness. He secretly glanced in the direction of Zhuqi Town.
However, at this moment, Zhu Qizhen also looked at Yang Hong with a faint smile on his face.
Looking at the smile on the corner of Zhu Qizhen's mouth, Yang Hong's heart felt even more terrified!
At this moment, Yang Hong felt that all of his thoughts seemed to have been seen through by Zhu Qizhen!
Zhu Qizhen casually glanced at Yang Hong, then withdrew his gaze and looked at Yang Jun and the other three kneeling in the hall. He coldly said,"As the generals of the Ming Dynasty, you were entrusted with the important task of guarding the border, but when the Wala enemy attacked, you retreated without fighting.”
"Emperor, you are wise. At that time, the Wala army came too suddenly. I didn't have enough time to stop them! I led the army to retreat in hopes of preserving our strength. When the time comes, we can gather the army and continue to fight the Wala people to the death!”
Upon hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, the Stone Guard General Zhao Mei's eyes rolled as she loudly defended herself.
"That's right, Your Majesty. We share the same thoughts as General Zhao. We have no intention of avoiding the battle.”
When Yang Jun and the other two heard Zhao Mei's words, their eyes lit up and they quickly followed suit.
As they spoke, the four of them simultaneously prostrated themselves in front of Zhu Qizhen, their mouths constantly pleading for mercy.
"Bastard, you still want to quibble at a time like this!”
When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he was instantly furious and shouted angrily.
At the same time as his voice fell, the powerful aura on Zhu Qizhen's body suddenly pressed down on Yang Jun and the others!
Feeling the aura and anger from Zhu Qizhen, Yang Jun and the other three felt a wave of fear. Cold sweat kept seeping out of their bodies, soaking their clothes.
Under Zhu Qizhen's pressure, they could not even speak!
Yang Hong gritted his teeth and bowed to Zhu Qizhen.""Emperor, this general feels that what they said is not without reason. Dushi and Maying towns had a limited number of guards. If they split up, they would be in danger of being defeated by the Wala people.”
"On the contrary, if the armies of several border towns gather together, they will have the strength to fight against the Wala army! It was also because the troops from Lone Stone, Horse Camp, and a few other border towns had all gathered at the Xuan Manor. Therefore, this general and a few generals were able to defend the army of Ala Zhiyuan and prevent Xuan Manor from falling into Wala's hands!”
"Humph! In that case, it was reasonable for you to avoid the battle because you were afraid of the enemy? If you say so, why don't you all retreat back to the capital city and let the armies of the entire country retreat back to the capital city? When the Wala people attack the capital city, we will come back and fight with them!”
Hearing Yang Hong's sophistry, Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly.
It seemed that Yang Hong really did not care about anything for his son!
When Yang Hong heard this, he quickly said,"Your Majesty, please calm down. This general has no such intentions!"”
"Humph!" Zhu Qizhen glanced at Yang Hong and snorted coldly again. He then looked at Zhao Gao and said indifferently,
"Yang Jun, Zhao Mei, Xia Zhong, and Lu Xuan, as the generals guarding the border, were entrusted with important tasks, but they fled at the last minute. This caused the border to become desolate and the defense to be completely exhausted. The bandits came and went as if they were in an uninhabited land, causing the imperial court and the imperial court to be in danger. They are ordered to be beheaded immediately.”
"This general knows my sins, please spare my life, Your Majesty!”
Upon hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Yang Jun and the other three's expressions instantly changed drastically. They hurriedly kowtowed towards Zhu Qizhen as if they were pounding garlic, continuously begging for mercy from their mouths.
Zhu Qizhen ignored them and continued,""In addition, Yang Hong, the general guarding the Xuan manor, has abandoned his official position for personal reasons and delayed the military situation, causing heavy losses to the army. The emperor has almost fallen into the hands of the bandits. From now on, he will be relieved of his position as the guard of the Xuan manor and will be sent to the capital for trial by the Jinyiwei.”
"Swoosh!"
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Yang Hong's face instantly turned pale. His body went limp and he collapsed onto the ground.
At this moment, Yang Hong couldn't help but secretly regret not cooperating with Huo Du earlier.
Now, even if he wanted to cooperate with Huo Du, he no longer had the chance.
When the ministers in the hall saw this scene, their expressions changed. However, no one stood up to speak for Yang Hong.
On the one hand, the actions of Yang Hong, Yang Jun, and Zhao Mei could be said to have harmed them. If Meng Tian's army had not arrived, the consequences for them were almost self-evident!
On the other hand, these ministers were filled with respect for Zhu Qizhen and did not dare to disobey him!
"Zhao Gao, execute him immediately!" Zhu Qizhen looked at Yang Jun and the other three who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy with some disgust as he spoke coldly.
