The reason why he wants to target Duan Zhixuan alone and let the Cui family go is not because he has a good impression of the Cui family or is afraid of them, but because he wants to keep the Cui family to deal with Duan Zhixuan.

Yang Fan knew that Li Er was a proud and emotional person.

Once he gets nostalgic, Duan Zhixuan may not be severely punished. This is not what Yang Fan wants to see.

Yang Fan fully understands that political power comes from the barrel of a gun.

Duan Zhixuan leads the left guard army, which is a serious problem.

Besides, someone has to take the blame. After all, Duan Guan and Cui Yongjian are not at the same level yet, so Duan Zhixuan can only take the blame.

Of course, even so, Yang Fan didn't think what His Majesty Li Er would do to Duan Zhixuan.

Thinking that Hou Junji was not exterminated when he rebelled in the future, it can be seen that Li Er is a person who misses old feelings.

He has made his attitude known. As for how His Majesty Li Er will deal with the Duan family and his son, Yang Fan doesn't care at all. Anyway, he can just throw the blame away!

Anyway, it’s okay to make Duan Zhixuan feel disgusted.

However, Duan Zhixuan was so frightened that this bastard Yang Fan was too cruel.

If this crime is proven, his son's beheading will be a foregone conclusion.

Although he will not be beheaded, he will definitely be demoted and reduced in rank. He may have to fight for the position of general. It is simply too cruel!

Looking up to see that His Majesty Li Er was as sinking as water, Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, the situation was not good.

He followed His Majesty Li Er on his expeditions to the north and south, and had been friends for more than twenty years. He also knew the emperor's temperament very well.

The calmer it is, the scarier it is!

If he was furious on the spot, he might be punished lightly.

However, Duan Zhixuan did not open his mouth to beg for mercy. Instead, he lowered his head to the ground, bit his cheek, and said with a heart: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. Because I neglected to discipline my son, he made a big mistake in a moment of confusion, and was raped.

use!"

"Wei Chen does not dare to ask for your Majesty's forgiveness. I just ask Your Majesty to allow Wei Chen to resign and return home for the sake of Wei Chen's loyalty. As for the dog, I will leave it to your Majesty's disposal!"

Duan Zhixuan knew that Li Er would not sympathize with anyone, let alone show mercy to anyone, but he knew that Li Er was nostalgic...

Therefore, he did not dare to beg for mercy at all, so he could only do the opposite, admitting his mistake with a correct attitude and sincerity, hoping that Li Er could spare their father and son this fate based on their years of friendship.

His Majesty Li Er is indeed about to explode!

Duan Guan blatantly resold weapons from the weapons inspector to ambush court officials, which was simply lawless. If Duan Zhixuan was not involved, no one would believe him.

But because you, father and son, were selfish and narrow-minded, the court almost lost Yang Fan, a talented man with both civil and military talents.

Even if my son almost died on the spot, the nature is the same.

In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, this was simply an unpardonable crime. He took a deep breath, weighed it up, and said in a deep voice: "The Lord Bao Guo shielded his son. Although his circumstances are excusable, he ignored the law."

, order him to resign from the post of General Zuowei and rest for a period of time before making other arrangements later."

"promise!"

Although he knew that His Majesty Li Er was extremely merciful, Duan Zhixuan still felt pain in his heart and turned pale.

The left and right guards were the most powerful among the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty. It was not easy for him to sit in the position of the general of the left guard.

It's better now, because everything is ruined for Yang Fan.

If the emperor wants to use it again, it will take many years and months. Maybe I don't know if there will be a chance in this life.

Even if there is a chance, it is impossible to be as high as a left and right back again.

Military power was the foundation of Duan Zhixuan's life. Now that he was beaten to the bottom, how should he deal with the Cui family's revenge?

Looks like I really need to find a thigh to hug!

Of course, compared to his future, he is more concerned about His Majesty Li Er's treatment of his son. After all, there are only a few people in the family!

His Majesty Li Er continued to say: "Duan Guan encouraged the ordnance officer to sell ordnance, which resulted in the injury of the hero. His crime is extremely heinous! However, I hope that he will report the truth and confess truthfully. Since he has done nothing wrong, I ordered him to be sent to the army and sent to the army for three thousand miles as a tribute to him."

Duan Zhixuan suddenly turned pale.

Although the family was not implicated and the head was not immediately beheaded, it was indeed extremely merciful.

But for a pampered son like his son, being exiled for three thousand miles is actually no different than having his head chopped off.

Even if I let someone take care of me all the way and let him arrive safely, my son's life will be over!

For a moment, Duan Zhixuan seemed to have aged more than ten years, shouting: "Thank you for your grace!"

The originally straight spine immediately bent.

He knew in his heart that His Majesty was nostalgic for his old friendship. Otherwise, it would be easy for the whole family to have their heads chopped off.

His Majesty Li Er sighed softly, he did not want to deal with Duan Zhixuan.

Being able to let Duan Zhixuan serve as the general of the left guard, Li Er still believed in his loyalty.

Duan Zhixuan was once his most trusted minister. After all, Duan Zhixuan was promoted by him single-handedly and became a truly humble general.

It's a pity that Duan Zhixuan has become a little distracted in recent years and actually wants to join the family.

But Li Er cannot ignore the law because of his selfishness.

Using a crossbow to assassinate a first-rank prince and general in broad daylight was simply a provocation to the power of the Tang Dynasty.

Involved in such incidents, His Majesty Li Er felt that he must kill the nine tribes with thousands of swords before venting his hatred.

If there are assassins who take chances in the future, won’t assassinations become common in the Tang Dynasty?

But Li Er still couldn't bear it and rushed to kill them all. He sighed sadly and waved his hand: "You can step back for now."

"No!" Duan Zhixuan said no more, bowed and bowed, then slowly stepped back.

Yang Fan raised his eyelids and took the opportunity to say: "Wei Chen also resigned!"

I haven't been home for five or six days, and Yang Fan doesn't want to stay here anymore.

Unexpectedly, before turning around, His Majesty Li Er roared: "Who told you to leave?"

Yang Fan was depressed and worried. He would talk when he had something to say and fart when he had something to say. Why should he pretend?

But he didn't dare to speak out, so he could only stand silently.

After Duan Zhixuan walked away, His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Why only target Duan Zhixuan? Obviously the evidence points more to Cui? Are you bullying the weak and afraid of the strong?"

Yang Fan said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, it is clear that Cui Yongjian was silenced by someone who was secretly instigated. Apart from Duke Bao, I really can't think of anyone else?"

"Besides, as soon as Cui Yongjian died, the clues were interrupted. If there is no evidence, even if the ministers randomly say that Cui did it, His Majesty will not dare to convict him, right?"

"Shut up! Who told you to say that it was the Cui family?" His Majesty Li Er angrily pointed at Yang Fan and cursed: "Do you really think I am a fool? Don't you just want Duan Zhixuan to step down so that you can take over Zuo Weiyang?"

"Hmph, I don't know about you yet. If there was evidence that Duan Zhixuan killed Cui Yongjian, you would have arrested Duan Zhixian long ago, right?"

"Also, without my approval, you actually dared to send troops to break into Tongfu Temple. Do you really think that my imperial edict is nonsense?"

"You are so cumbersome, just to divert my attention, so you dragged Duan Zhixuan out to back you up. It's simply abominable!"

Yang Fan swallowed his saliva and thought to himself that His Majesty Li Er was so good that he was like a roundworm in his stomach.

He could only say cautiously: "Wei Chen doesn't dare, but it is His Majesty's promise to let Wei Chen take over the left guard army, right?"

There is no point in trying to quibble, just confess directly...

His Majesty Li Er was at a loss for words, but it was impossible for him, the emperor, to admit his mistake, so he had to act rogue and said: "Although I promised you, I didn't say when to let you, a teenage boy, become a general and censor.

Those officials in Taiwan must not spray me to death."

Yang Fan muttered depressedly: "I don't want to be a general..."

Seeing that His Majesty Li Er was so gloomy, he had to swallow what he said next. Who made him the emperor?

It seemed that it was because Yang Fan had a good attitude, or His Majesty Li Er also felt that he was in the wrong, so he calmed down a little and asked again: "I heard that you and Empress Xiao had been separated for a long time at Tongfu Temple. When did you meet?"

Yang Fan felt nervous, there were indeed many informants in Tongfu Temple.

Yang Fan quickly said half-truthfully: "Your Majesty, although Wei Chen and Queen Mother Xiao met for the first time, they felt quite cordial, so they chatted a few more words..."

"Later, Empress Xiao heard that Wei Chen's parents had died, so she asked someone to recognize her as her godmother."

"Wei Chen wants to report to you that he has allowed a certain godmother to be brought to the house to fulfill his filial piety."

"Huh? Do you recognize Empress Xiao as your godmother?" His Majesty Li Er was a little unbelievable.

I had a lot of guesses, but I never thought it would be like this.

Li Er didn't think that Yang Fan would lie to him, after all, he would know this kind of thing as soon as he checked.
