On this day, when he went to the court, Scholar Wang "deliberately" mentioned to the emperor that the general Li Yi led his troops to suppress the bandits and did not hear from him for many days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When the emperor heard this, he asked the military department:

"Is there a battle report from Luoyang?" Although Tan Yuanzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was not a scholar of Wang, he did not dare to openly question Scholar Wang's statement, so he could only tell the truth:

"Back to the emperor, the military department only received an official letter from General Li, saying that there are some capable people in the grass in Wan'an Mountain, which are different from the ordinary grass robbers, if it were not for this, the first few times the officers and soldiers would not have suffered a big loss, so they need to study the method of fighting the enemy, and there is no war report if they think so. ”

"Returning to the emperor, there is no battle report, which means that the army has never fought with the enemy army when it arrives in Luoyang for more than one month, isn't it a little strange?"

"Back to the emperor, it's not the old minister who protects his nephew to speak, the way to use soldiers is to know oneself and know one's opponent, so that one can win a hundred battles. If the battle is fought in a hurry, what good is it except to lose the lives of the soldiers? Qi Guogong also stepped forward and said to the emperor. Li Yi is his nephew, and he is the son of the Guogong Mansion, if there is anything, then the entire Qi Guogong Mansion will be finished, so he can only defend Li Yi without avoiding suspicion.

"Qi Guogong's words are good, but he hasn't even taught his hands, how can he know the details of the other party, as the saying goes, 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger', it won't be that General Li doesn't even have the courage to enter the tiger's den." After Scholar Wang finished speaking, everyone in the court and the center secretly laughed.

"University sergeant, although the subordinate officer does not understand the art of war and has never been on the battlefield, but this matter of probing the details of the enemy is probably not something that can only be known in battle. What's more, this General Li was originally recommended by a scholar, so what kind of courage and resourcefulness is still said by a scholar. ”

Kong Chong is Li Yi's close friend, and of course he will not watch his good friend be slandered in the court. He is now the imperial history of the left capital, and the emperor does not attach much importance to him because he has been in the Fuwang Mansion, but because he also stayed in the prince's mansion for a period of time, the emperor still recognizes his character and talent, so he transferred him from the Ministry of Officials to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Scholar Wang didn't expect Kong Chongzheng to jump out like this and directly refute his words, and he was a little annoyed for a while, but what kind of person he is, after two dynasties, how could he choke with a few words on his back when he achieved the position of first assistant. Immediately pretended to be sad and said:

"The old minister is dizzy, he made a mistake, and he damaged the face of the country, which is really an unforgivable crime, and I ask the emperor to punish him. ”

In recent years, the emperor has been troubled because of the matter of his heirs. Although many show girls were selected from all over the place to enrich the harem, there were no heirs, only the sick and crooked prince. I thought it was the queen who was getting in the way, but I couldn't find out, which made the queen more and more estranged from herself.

The emperor didn't take the matter of Luoyang bandits very seriously, because after the last Liang and the subsequent events, he still believed in Li Yi, so he agreed to Li Yi to lead troops to suppress the bandits last time. At this time, when I saw a dispute over Li Yi in the court, I was also a little angry in my heart, after all, Li Yi had been gone for so long and had not made any achievements at all. But at this moment, he was in no mood to continue to pursue it, so he said:

"There is no need to argue, send someone to take a look at this matter to find out. ”

"Your Majesty, there is still a letter from the old minister, please take a look at it. ”

The attendants beside the emperor walked down the steps, took the secret fold presented by the scholar Wang, and presented it to the emperor's dragon case. The Emperor picked up the fold with some impatience and looked at it. The entire hall was silent, most of the officials lowered their heads, and only a few people watched the change in the emperor's expression from time to time.

Qi Guogong looked at the emperor's gradually frowning brows, and his heart beat a drum, I don't know what the hell this Wang scholar came up with.

Kong Chongzheng was calm on the surface, but he was also anxious in his heart, hoping that what he was worried about would not come true.

Scholar Wang's recital only reveals one meaning, that is, Li Yi is the person of King Fu, and now King Fu is in Shandong, and Li Yi is only a stone's throw away, if there is any collusion, I am afraid it will be a great disadvantage to the imperial court.

When the emperor was the crown prince, King Fu did not have the intention of competing for the throne like other brothers, and he always got along well with him. Later, after he ascended the throne, he collected grain and grass from various feudal domains, and King Fu responded the fastest.

All this made the emperor quite satisfied with King Fu. But after all, King Fu is now far away in Shandong, and many things still make the emperor jealous, which is like a small thorn in his heart, I don't know when to poke people's hearts, and this letter from Scholar Wang has turned this small thorn in the emperor's heart into a big thorn.

"Lao Aiqing is reasonable, but I am not thoughtful. Luoyang bandits trapped the people of Li and the fire and water, and our army has been in Biliang for a long time, but they can't do anything, which really makes me feel cold. ”

As soon as the emperor's words came out, the expressions of everyone in the court and China were different. A group of people led by Scholar Wang were ecstatic. Because Scholar Wang suspected that Li Yi was secretly looking for someone to investigate his arms deal with the Great Xia Kingdom, but he couldn't directly find a crime to get rid of Li Yi, so he came up with the idea of letting Li Yi go to suppress the bandits. Originally, Li Yi's life had been arranged over there, but who wanted Li Yi to go for more than a month, and he didn't use soldiers, and the manpower he arranged didn't play a role, so he discussed with his staff and came up with such a method, using King Fu to make the emperor suspicious of Li Yi, so that even if Li Yi said anything to the emperor, the emperor would not believe it.

He did not bluntly say that King Fu might be plotting rebellion or ill-intentioned, but he revealed in and out of his words that King Fu worked hard to govern Shandong in an orderly manner, and the local people were all grateful to Dade. Li Yi and King Fu have been friends for many years, and Luoyang and Shandong are relatively close, if the two are colluded, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the emperor.

Qi Guogong and Kong Chongzheng and others were secretly anxious, Qi Guogong was worried that the emperor would condemn Li Yi, bring the Li family to the burden, and lose the title passed down by his ancestors.

Kong Chongzheng thought more, the emperor's attitude before and after was so different, then there must be something that made the emperor unhappy on the performance of the Wang scholar, and Li Yi's only problem in the emperor's mind was King Fu, if he was tired of King Fu, things would be much trickier.

The emperor's hand was placed on the dragon case, and his index finger tapped lightly on the table, but the expression on his face was not as annoyed as just now, and it was obvious that he had already made a decision.

"Spread My Will ......"

"Report, Luoyang war report!" Before the emperor finished speaking, the voice of the guards was remembered outside the hall. (To be continued.) )
