Chapter 408: Turning Things Around
Li Taixi's question, Chen Ning answered truthfully, and finally Fu Tianlong directly ruled that Chen Ning was guilty.
As the governor of the capital, Fu Yunfei never spoke, he chose to watch from the sidelines, but what he didn't expect was that things were unusually smooth, and Chen Ning seemed to be taken down by his father and Li Taixi without any resistance.
However, just when Fu Yunfei and the others were happy, Mu Tian's lazy words of waiting made Fu Yunfei a little surprised. Fu Yunfei looked at Mu Tian and thought to himself: At this moment, Mu Tian still wanted to favor Chen Ning. But now that Chen Ning himself has admitted the crime, how can you overturn Chen Ning's case?
Mu Tian stood up in public, looked around at the crowd, and then said calmly: "Actually, Chen Ning attacked Sun Yaoyang as I meant. ”
In an instant, the entire conference room was stunned, including almost Chen Ning himself.
Everyone knows that the royal family, Mu Tian and others have reached an offensive and defensive alliance, and this time they have also discussed in advance to protect Chen Ning. Even the Fu family, Li Taixi and others had guessed countless ways for Mu Tian to help Chen Ning, but now when they heard Mu Tian say that he sent Chen Ning to attack Sun Yaoyang, everyone was shocked.
The Queen Mother was also slightly surprised, but soon came back to her senses, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile.
I only heard Mu Tian continue to say to everyone: "Do you remember that the former Metropolitan Governor Xiao Ke discussed with us about Sun Shuojie's request for submission?"
Everyone nodded their heads and said they remembered.
Mu Tian said: "At that time, the former Metropolitan Governor Xiao Ke and all of our cabinet agreed that the southern provinces were out of control, and we could not take back the actual control of the southern provinces in a short period of time, but we could not exterminate Sun Shuojie's rebels in a short period of time. With this, everyone decided to first express their promise to Sun Shuojie's invitation, and then slowly get rid of him!"
Mu Tian's words evoked everyone's memory, Mu Tian was right, the empire's strategy for Sun Shuojie was to accept submission on the surface, and then find time and a way to completely wipe out Sun Shuojie's power.
Mu Tian paused and said: "Sun Shuojie is not a good thing, he is superficially obedient to the empire, but he deliberately raises corpses for self-respect, under the pretext that the zombie power in the Qilin Zombie City in the south is huge, and then desperately increases the size of the troops, asking for all kinds of equipment and baggage. His two brothers and the so-called rebels are already a cancer of the empire and must be eliminated. Not long ago, the empire rehabilitated Chen Ning and withdrew the charges against Chen Ning before, and after Chen Ning recovered his identity, I immediately secretly issued an order to him, waiting for an opportunity to get rid of the two brothers, Sun Shuojie and Sun Yaoyang, and completely disintegrate the power of the rebels. ”
Fu Tianlong looked at Mu Tian coldly, and at the same time, his heart was sinking. Mu Tian was really an old fox who had dealt with him for decades, and he actually found such an impeccable reason to save Chen Ning.
When Mu Tian said this, he said with a smile: "The fault between Chen Ning and Sun Yaoyang is not Chen Ning, but me and Fu Shuai. ”
Fu Tianlong squinted his eyes: "Oh, why is it wrong with me, I want to hear about it." ”
"Hehe, I didn't explain to the cabinet the matter of ordering Chen Ning to get rid of the Sun brothers, this is my dereliction of duty in my work; Fu Shuai, you asked Sun Yaoyang to incorporate Chen Ning's troops, which is not in line with the strategic direction we formulated before, and when you gave this order, you made the same mistake as me, that is, you bypassed the cabinet and gave the order directly. Therefore, the fault of this matter is not Chen Ning, but the neglect of you and my work. ”
Fu Tianlong's heart was really angry!
Originally, Chen Ning honestly replied to him that he disobeyed orders, and admitted that he took the initiative to attack Zhucheng, killed Sun Yaoyang, and cured Chen Ning's crime was already a sure thing, but what Fu Tianlong and others didn't expect was that now when Jing Mutian said this, it became the mistake of the two marshals.
Seeing that the situation was favorable to Chen Ning at this time, the Queen Mother said in time: "Hehe, now the matter is very clear. Mu Shuai and Fu Shuai, the two of you bypassed the cabinet and gave orders to the generals of the southern provinces, and the orders of the two of you contradicted each other, so there was a situation where Sun Yaoyang incorporated Chen Ning and Chen Ning beat Sun Yaoyang. However, from the opinion of the mourning family, the operation of the two of you is not in accordance with the rules, but the order issued by the shepherd marshal to Chen Ning is more in line with the interests of the empire, and it is also in line with the strategy formulated by the empire against the rebels before...... As for Chen Ning, the supreme commander of our Royal Legion, he is considered a lying gun and should not be found guilty. Now, I solemnly vote for Chen Ning's not guilty. ”
Immediately, there were followers of the royal family or Mutian, or the old subordinates of the former Metropolitan Governor Xiao Ke, and they all began to echo one after another, raising their hands and saying that they would vote for Chen Ning not guilty.
The father and son of the Fu family looked at each other with Li Taixi and others, and the situation would develop into what it is now, which they did not expect at all.
Fu Tianlong looked at Zhou Qianghui and Wang Boting, now these two have not yet expressed their position, if these two say two words to support Fu Tianlong, then the situation may be reversed again.
But Zhou Qianghui and Wang Boting have continuously received a lot of benefits from the royal family during this time, and they have short mouths and short hands. And both of them are old foxes, so at this time, the two glanced at each other, and almost unanimously said that they would not vote.
This made Fu Tianlong scold in his heart: Two old fritters!
The power of the Fu family is actually slightly larger than that of the Mu family, after all, the Fu family has a new governor.
However, now the Mu family has the royal family as allies, and there are also Xiao Ke's old subordinates who have the same hatred, so several forces are added together, and Zhou Qianghui and Wang Boting are acting as transparent people in this matter, and finally when it comes to determining whether Chen Ning is guilty or not, the Queen Mother's proposal wins by a small margin, and finally judges Chen Ning not guilty.
When the cabinet announced Chen Ning's innocence, the Queen Mother, Mu Tian and the others smiled.
And Fu Tianlong, Fu Yunfei and the others had extremely ugly faces, because this was not just Chen Ning's problem, but Mu Tian was actually entangled with the Queen Mother, so that the imperial power was bound to rise slowly, which was a very bad start.
The results came out, and the Queen Mother took the opportunity to say: "The mourning family remembers that it seems that the triennial martial arts examination for young generals in the army will be held recently, and the royal family used to have only one tulip regiment, and the commander of the corps was still served by Jiangling, so the matter of the military examination in the army, our royal family and the royal legion, have not sent anyone to participate." Now that there are Black Legions and Wings of Freedom, the royal family already has three legions, and it stands to reason that they have a quota for the martial arts examination, isn't it too much?"
The martial arts examination is the triennial armed forces examination for young and outstanding generals in the army, and the first place will be promoted by one level, and the second and third places will also have different rewards.
However, there are not many people who can participate in the martial arts examination, but those who can participate in the martial arts examination are the elite of the imperial generals, and the talents among the talents, such as the imperial jade bi Qin Que and other streams. Moreover, there are regulations in the martial arts examination, and only generals below the rank of lieutenant general have the opportunity to participate in the martial arts examination.
Now the Queen Mother asked for a place to participate in the martial arts examination on the grounds that the size of the royal legion had increased several times.
Everyone couldn't refuse, except for Fu Tianlong and the others who came out without speaking, the others all said that this request was very reasonable.
In the end, the cabinet of the Military Aircraft Academy agreed to give the royal family a place to participate in the martial arts examination.
The Queen Mother immediately announced with a smile: "The only candidate sent by our royal family to participate in the martial arts examination is the commander of our royal black legion and the Wings of Freedom, Chen Ning." ”
When Fu Yunfei heard that Chen Ning was going to take the martial arts exam, he was immediately furious and wanted to refuse.
But Li Taixi, who was beside him, quietly took his hand and whispered to him: "Don't worry, Chen Ning can let him participate if he wants to participate, anyway, except for the first prize in the martial arts examination, the rest of the rewards are very good." Besides, this time the dog Li He also participated in the martial arts examination, hehe, Chen Ning bullied Tong'er, the dog is full of strength, and he wants to find Chen Ning for revenge. ”
When Fu Yunfei heard this, he immediately stopped talking, and his mind became active.
His future brother-in-law Li He, although he is only in the late stage of level 10 now, it is said that Li He deliberately pressed the level and deliberately did not break through level 11.
In fact, a very small number of strong people like to deliberately press the level and not break through to new realms.
Li He is this kind of person, Li He has already raised his strength to the late level of level 10 a long time ago, and then Li He deliberately did not break through, and then repeatedly tempered the martial vein nodes that had been lit up, so that the martial veins became wider, tougher, and stronger.
This is like a sweeping old monk who has been practicing the most basic Arhat boxing, and over time, this set of Arhat boxing can beat many high-level powerhouses all over the ground to find teeth.
Li He is such a person, he deliberately does not upgrade, temper the foundation, in recent years, he has defeated several opponents in the early stage of level 11, and many people say that they don't know how strong Li He's real strength is now.
Fu Yunfei squinted his eyes and thought that Li He's strength was unfathomable, and if he was in the martial arts exam, it would be good to be able to kill Chen Ning. Although the martial arts test repeatedly emphasizes that there are subordinates who are merciful and cannot kill opponents, there will always be accidents in the competition!
