Fake eunuchs in the harem

"It turns out that the queen mother is so well-informed, but the queen mother has such good news, why didn't she tell the emperor about the traitor earlier?"

Not to be outdone, Liu Hairui asked, "Could it be that the Queen Mother has ulterior motives?"

Chapter 039

"Haichen, how dare you say that about Aijia?"

The queen mother was furious after hearing the words: "You are really getting bolder."

"The servant is only speaking in a down-to-earth manner, please don't be offended by the Queen Mother."

Liu Hairui said with a smile: "If the queen mother is fine, please don't block the servant's way. The servant will report to the emperor about the situation of the battle."

"Aijia asked you, what happened to the troublemakers who came out later?"

The queen mother said unrelentingly.

"If the Queen Mother really wants to know, come and meet Sheng with me."

Liu Hairui said coldly: "I'm sorry, the military situation is at the forefront, so forgive me for not being able to accompany the Queen Mother."

After finishing speaking, Liu Hairui ignored the queen mother's appearance, and turned and walked towards the imperial study. The queen mother stood behind Liu Hairui, gritted her teeth, and stomped her feet to follow behind him.

When Liu Hairui arrived at the imperial study, Zhang Ren was still there, playing chess with the emperor. It could be seen that Zhang Ren was absent-minded, while the emperor was engrossed.

"My minister joins His Majesty in the Grand Marshal."

Liu Hairui smiled after leaving: "Why does Marshal Zhang look gloomy? Is there something on his mind?"

"Haichen, I heard that you repelled the rebellion in the east of the city?"

Although Zhang Ren was staring at the chessboard, his whole mind was not on the chessboard, and he was only thinking about the east of the city.

"It seems that Marshal Zhang has also heard the news."

Liu Hairui said with a smile: "The lower officials are not talented, and they wiped out the army in the east of the city."

"But you killed the general who defended the city."

Zhang Ren changed the subject, stared at Liu Hairui and said, "Even if His Majesty asks you to command the troops temporarily, you have no right to kill the generals defending the city."

"I know."

Liu Hairui nodded and met Zhang Ren's gaze: "Is the Generalissimo blaming the subordinate?"

"If not, I have the right to punish you as the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses of the World."

Zhang Renhu's eyes widened: "Haichen, do you know the crime of killing the coach before the battle?"

"Of course the lower officials know, but Marshal Zhang probably doesn't know why I want to kill the general defending the city, right?"

Liu Hairui sneered and said: "When the army attacked the city, the general defending the city actually said that the arrow was stolen. Just think about it, how could such a thing happen? It's like an official losing his seal. , How could something so important be stolen, unless he communicated with the army."

"Then you have no right to kill him."

Zhang Renzheng said.

"Hai Chen, you have caused a catastrophe this time."

The Empress Dowager added oil and vinegar to the side, and she couldn't do it in a timely manner, but she was very good at adding insult to injury. "Hai Chen, you just want to take advantage of the rebellion in the east of the city to eradicate dissidents. The Ai family has enough reasons to suspect that you are plotting something wrong."

"I've kept in mind what the queen mother said to the generalissimo, but the slaves did all this for the stability of the army, and for the stability of my majestic imperial capital."

Liu Hairui said righteously, "If this slave really has any grievances with that general who defended the city, he would definitely not commit such a murderous act at this critical moment."

"Say, Aijia wants to hear how you stabilize the morale of the army?"

The Queen Mother said loudly: "This is clearly borrowing."

"Queen Mother, do you know why I wanted to kill the general who defended the city?"

Liu Hairui shook his head and said, "The general defending the city actually said that when the arrows in the army were stolen, Marshal Zhang ordered all the guarding troops to rest. This is clearly an attempt to shirk responsibility and frame Marshal Zhang as the blame."

Zhang Ren trembled when he heard the words, gritted his teeth and said, "Hai Chen, this kind of thing is out of the question."

"Everything my subordinate said is true. At that time, I was afraid that the soldiers would think that Marshal Zhang was collaborating with the enemy inside and outside, so they killed the general who defended the city."

Liu Hairui smiled wryly and said, "How can I let his plan succeed, Queen Mother, you said that the next official killed the general who defended the city, right?"

"Correct."

After a long time, the queen mother was reluctant to nod.

Zhang Ren naturally knew that Liu Hairui's words were high-sounding, but it was not easy to get angry. After all, it sounded like Liu Hairui was doing it for his own good.

"Okay, Haichen, you did the right thing, you can't let our Generalissimo misunderstand you."

The emperor took over the words and said: "I should reward you. Whatever you want, just ask for it, and I will definitely agree."

"You are not joking."

Liu Hairui thought about it with a smile on his shoulders.

Chapter 040

The Empress Dowager and Zhang Ren stood on the side and looked at Liu Hairui with livid faces, wondering what kind of request this kid would make after getting such a good opportunity.

"Your Majesty may not know that the reason why the slaves won this time is entirely due to the fact that some forces in the people spontaneously resisted the army."

Liu Hairui said: "The slave thinks that these folks with lofty ideals are all depressed, and this time they should be given a chance."

"The power of the people?"

Huang and Zhang Ren were taken aback at the same time.

"Yes, if it weren't for them, I'm afraid the slaves would not be able to resist those troops, and all of them are brave and good at fighting."

Liu Hairui said: "Your Majesty, these are talents."

"It sounds like you want to keep these in my army?"

Zhang Ren stared at Liu Hairui and said, "Don't you think it's unfair to say that? I wanted to be a general just because of one battle. The fact that I am able to get to where I am today is entirely the result of hard work and battle experience."

"Your official never said that you want the power of the people to infiltrate your army, Marshal Zhang."

Liu Hairui said solemnly: "Since they have made great achievements, and now there is a vacancy for the general guarding the city, I am sure His Majesty will let them serve as the general guarding the city, so that these innocent people can serve the family."

"No, this is absolutely not possible."
