Will succeed

In Chang'an City, on the Golden Luan Hall.

General Linghumeng brought Lin Qi and others back from the battlefield, quietly watching the man on the throne, waiting for his final decision.

The emperor didn't say a word, just looked at the letter in his hand, his face was expressionless, but his heart was churning endlessly.

The silence lasted for a while, and finally someone couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your Majesty! General Fu has been in the Later Tang Dynasty all his life, and he would never do such a thing. Moreover, General Fu has been killed by spies, which further proves that this is a false accusation!"

However, the emperor just glanced at him and ignored him.

When Xu Jun heard someone speaking for General Fu, he raised his head and cast a grateful glance at the speaker. This glance happened to be seen by the emperor. "Vice General Xu, look at me."

Hearing the emperor's words, all the people in the hall couldn't help but look at each other, no one knew what the emperor had planned.

"Vice General Xu, you have followed Fu Qingshi for many years, and you must know Fu Qingshi's daily life. Please tell me your opinion." Hearing this, not only Xu Jun was shocked, but the expressions of the others also changed.

The emperor trusted Fu Qingshi to ask Xu Jun!

Seeing this, Xu Jun quickly replied: "Going back to the emperor, I think the general will never do this!"

As soon as Xu Jun's words fell, the prime minister at the side said: "Your Majesty, Fu Qingshi is extremely arrogant on weekdays, and he doesn't take the Emperor seriously in some actions. When this person leaves Chang'an, he will become even worse. My minister I heard that Fu Qingshi is quite prestigious in Tianque City, not only exploiting the common people, but also robbing women by force. What he did, he deserves to be punished!"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to slanderous rumors! General Fu clearly cared for the people in Tianque City, and was deeply loved by the people. How could he be such an unbearable person! The last general is with General Fu every day, how can he not know what a general is? "

Xu Jun's words are well-founded, seeing with his own eyes is obviously more convincing than hearing about it. However, a sentence that is deeply loved by the people hits the dragon's back.

Regardless of whether the emperor is a Mingjun or not, every emperor cannot tolerate high meritorious deeds.

For the sake of his own country, even if the emperor believes in Fu Qingshi's character at this moment, he still wants to wipe out the roots of the Fu family so as not to cause disaster for the country.

"Lieutenant General Lin, what do you say?"

The emperor's tone was somewhat dissatisfied. Lin Qi, who was being questioned, was at a loss for some reason. He didn't want to be as decisive as Xu Jun, but replied with hesitation: "The last general...the last general doesn't know how to say..."

"Let's be honest, I won't blame you."

As if he had made up his mind, Lin Qi closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "The prime minister's words... are all true!"

"Lynch, you... what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Jun looked at Lin Qi in disbelief, and couldn't believe that the brothers who had been through life and death together would say such a thing. Could it be that those friendships that died were all fake?

The more I think about it, the more Xu Jun can't bear it. It's okay to be framed by others, but how can I tolerate being framed by my brother!

Now that the place where he said it was the Golden Luan Hall, Xu Jun suddenly stood up and punched Lin Qi. Everyone was unexpected and could only watch Xu Jun beat Lin Qi until blood flowed.

It was Linghumeng who reacted the fastest, and stopped Xu Jun when he was about to throw a second punch, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Bold Xu Jun, dare to fight in the Golden Palace, do you still have the emperor in your eyes?"

Xu Shi's blood was on his head, but Xu Jun ignored the etiquette and yelled at the emperor: "General Fu is the best general in the world! As a brother, it is unjust for Lin Qi to frame him! It is disloyal for the prime minister to frame him Your Majesty, if the last general endures today, he is not worthy of being a great general of the Later Tang Dynasty, nor is he worthy of being the brother of General Fu! If the emperor wants to punish the last general, the last general will willingly accept the punishment and never dare to complain!"

What Xu Jun said made Lin Qi bow his head in shame, and everyone in the hall talked about it, and the emperor's idea of ​​cutting grass and roots became stronger.

Today, someone beats people for Fu Qingshi's reputation in the hall. In the future, if Fu Qingshi is not killed by spies, but is bestowed to death by himself, the emperor, I don't know if someone will destroy himself for him and ruin the later Tang Dynasty. country!

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't sit still anymore, his face sank, and he said: "Xu Jun, you and Lin Qi are both Fu Qingshi's right-hand men, but what you said is the opposite. I can't believe your one-sided words. Now, There are all the witnesses and material evidence, so don't try to exonerate Fu Qingshi! Thinking of your dedication to the later Tang Dynasty, I will forgive your rude behavior this time, and if there is another time, I will never forgive you lightly!"

"Your Majesty! The last general's words are true, the emperor must trust the last general!"

"Hmph, Vice General Xu, the emperor has already spared you. You don't know how to thank you, but you still want to say good things for Fu Qingshi. What the hell is going on in your heart!"

"Prime Minister, don't try to slander me. General Fu has done so much for Later Tang, how could he betray Later Tang? That letter must have been framed by someone with a heart! Your Majesty, you must be careful!"

"Enough is enough, I don't want to listen to your chatter anymore! Pass my order, Fu Qingshi colluded with the enemy country, the crime is true, punish, nine clans! Retire!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! General Fu was wronged! Your Majesty!"

No matter how Ren Xujun shouted, the emperor left without looking back. The prime minister had a smile on his face that the enemy was finally eliminated, which hurt the eyes of a group of soldiers.

It's a foregone conclusion, already, powerless.

Ten miles outside the city, there is a peach grove. Now it is March in Yangchun, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

However, there is a lonely grave standing deep in this beautiful peach forest.

Fresh melons and fruits, a pot of sake, and two cups were placed in front of the grave.

In front of the grave was a woman wearing a fiery red wedding dress and covering her head, talking faintly.

"Fu Lang, you sacrificed your life for the country, but everyone in the world thinks you are collaborating with the enemy and treason. My father won't allow me to be your widow, saying it's not worth it."

"However, Fu Lang, since I met you, I am no longer myself. Now that you are gone, I should have followed you to the hellish hell, but Fu Lang was deeply wronged and no one helped you. I will have to meet you again some time later."

"Don't worry, Fu Lang, I will definitely not let you go on the road alone. If Po Meng is in a hurry to ask you to drink Po Meng's soup, just refuse and wait for me by the Wangchuan River for a few years, and I will come to you."

"Fu Lang, I read the almanac, and today is a good day to get married, so I came to see you in my wedding dress. Although the place is simple and there are no parents or family members to witness, the peach blossoms in the forest are all guests, and they will look at me happily marry you as my wife."

"Now, it's time to salute. After three bows, you and I are officially married."

After the words fell, the woman bowed to the tombstone three times, and each time, her head touched the ground.

After the worship, the woman picked up the wine cup, poured out the wine, lifted the hijab herself, and drank the wine.He picked up another wine cup and poured all the wine in it in front of the stele.

"The Heying wine has been drunk, and I, Mu Li, will be Fu Lang's man from now on. I have no other wish in this life, but to prove Fu Lang's innocence as soon as possible."

"Fu Lang, wait for me."

The hijab was blown away by the wind, the woman's dress was flying among the peach blossoms, two lines of tears fell down, and then disappeared.

On the streets of Chang'an, a group of people gathered around the place where the imperial list was posted and discussed.

"Didn't you win the battle? Why do you still need to recruit soldiers?"

"Who knows?"

"In today's world, who wants to be a soldier? Maybe Daxia will call again, and if you are not careful, you will die!"

…………

"I heard that it is because the Fu family's army is almost wiped out, so now they are rushing to recruit troops to fill the vacancy."

"Old Zhangtou, how do you know so clearly, you can't be bluffing?"

"I'm not talking nonsense! This is what a relative of mine who works in the palace said. What could be wrong?"

…………

Everyone talked more and more vigorously. Some passionate men had already signed up when they saw the imperial list, some were still waiting and watching, and some just turned around and left.

One of them was wearing a black short jacket, his entire face was tightly covered, and he couldn't tell if he was male or female, which was quite strange.He narrowed his eyebrows and walked towards the registration office.

At this time, there was a long queue at the registration office, and people in front and behind were whispering to each other, but he was the only one who waited silently in silence.

When the line was about to arrive, an old man behind him pulled him away from the line.He was annoyed at first, but when he saw the face of the person pulling him, he gave up struggling.

After a long time, the two came to a secluded place.

"You want to join the army?" The old man's voice sounded very angry, and there was a hint of hatred in it.

"Yes." Hearing the hoarse voice of the masked man, the old man's eyes flashed with distress.

"You...why are you doing this? He's already dead! But you still have a long way to go, how can you join the army!"

"I've made up my mind, you just treat me as dead."

"Niezi! This old man has raised you for more than ten years, but now you have to give up your family for a dead person. You have let this old man down!"

The old man was full of resentment, cursing the masked man in his mouth, but his eyes were reluctant to move away from the masked man.

"Father, just pretend you don't have my daughter!" The masked man's voice was choked up, and his clear eyes were filled with tears, but what he said made the old man's complexion change.

The old man is well aware of his daughter's disposition, and ten bulls will not be able to pull back what he has made up his mind to do. However, he is still making the final struggle.

"Li'er, Fu Qingshi is dead! You have done so much for him, isn't it enough? Are you really going to pay for your life's happiness and even your life?"

It turned out that the masked man was indeed Mu Li!

Although Mu Li was reluctant to part with her parents and relatives at home, she wanted to prove Fu Qingshi's innocence even more.

"Father, my daughter has sworn from Fu Lang's grave that she will find out the truth and restore his innocence. My daughter is unfilial and cannot serve her father. Please forgive me."

Looking at her kneeling daughter, Mu Xi didn't know what to do.

"Li'er, how can you, a mere girl, be able to find out the truth! The emperor has ordered a conviction, and there is no room for change!"

"This emperor is not good, then I will wait for the next emperor!"

Hearing this, Mu Xi's expression changed drastically, and he was shocked, seeing no one around dared to speak: "Do you know what you are talking about?" Although Mu Xi looked worried, Mu Li showed no sign of fear at all.

"My daughter knows that the current emperor has killed Fu Lang completely in order to stabilize his throne. If he says that he has no selfish intentions, my daughter will never believe it. Since the current emperor cannot rehabilitate Fu Lang, then my daughter will let the next emperor come!"
