Liao Wangzai carefully looked at the package of so-called incriminating evidence transcripts, and looked up at Zhao Mo: "These things...... Not really!"

There is no confidence in what he said.

The illegal sale of military rations and ordnance was carried out by the directly subordinate troops under King Liao, and even his son was involved, but he couldn't prevent it and didn't plan to stop it. Although he has the military power in Liaodong, how can he not give others any benefit if he wants his subordinates to loyally serve him? The soldiers have been guarding the border for a long time, and Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and it is normal for them to want to live a better life.

He had never done anything about trading with Beirong in private, but he knew in his heart that someone in the fief must do it. Because the war was already decades ago, the small group of Beirong people who went south to harass every year was not a fixed group, and there were always some places where the people of the two countries traded with each other privately, and the Beirong people did not need to use force, they could exchange cattle, sheep, horses, medicinal herbs or other local products for what they wanted, which was more conducive to maintaining peace on the border. In addition to the common people, there are also merchants who will quietly do business with the Beijung people, and even people from the army will participate in it. The king of Liao is not good at reaching out to block other people's wealth, and the people in the palace make transactions with foreign merchants, and he does not ask where the latter sells the goods, whether it is to the north or the south. All he can manage is to prohibit the people in the fiefdom from selling copper and iron to the enemy, and the ordnance is even more forbidden. But then again, if someone did do that, he wouldn't know about it. Liaodong is so big, how can we ensure that everyone abides by the rules? Not to mention that his influence in the Liaodong Army has declined in recent years.

Embezzlement of military spending, this matter is inexplicable. The military expenses allocated by the imperial court every year are not sufficient, but the documents have always written full figures, and the king of Liao knows that he is not treated well by the emperor and has no supporters in the court, so what can be done about this? And the king of Liao hopes that his die-hard subordinates can be treated better, so the military expenditure must be biased towards his own people, and for those soldiers who do not obey him very much, the military expenses distributed in the past will naturally be less. And how many of the people in the entire Liaodong Army were paid empty salaries? He is in charge of the Liaodong Army, but it is still impossible to say, how can the people of Beirong know? I am afraid that it is made up.

As for killing good and risking merits, King Liao can only say that he has not done it, but he cannot guarantee that others have not done it. Because he had not heard of such a thing in the army, he had also ordered him to be executed in the past because a subordinate junior military attache was anxious to make meritorious service and be promoted, and committed such a big mistake. On the surface, he naturally wants to strictly prohibit it, but in the vast and sparsely populated border area, who can guarantee that among all the so-called Beirong enemies killed by all the soldiers in the Liaodong Army, none of them were killed by mistake? And now that these evidences were made by the Beirong people, they may not know whether the Liaodong Army killed Liang or not, but as long as they want to, deny the identity of some of the Beirong people who were killed, and insist that the latter are Zhao civilians, what can the Liao King do with them? Can he still let the Beirong people help him testify?

To sum up, for those evidences, in fact, even the King of Liao himself did not dare to guarantee that his subordinates had not done those things. Even if the evidence is fake, as long as the imperial court sends a reliable person to Liaodong to carefully check and ensure that he grabs a handful of pigtails, it can still make the king of Liao unable to defend himself. His words were extraordinarily weak, but he couldn't admit it. Because if he really admits these charges, there may be no more Liao Wangfu in this world.

King Liao looked at Zhao Mo and said with a stiff face: "This thing...... Has it been presented to the emperor? Has the emperor ever ...... Didn't you tell the emperor that this thing was ...... It's all fake?!"

Zhao Mo looked at the King of Liao lightly: "Lord Wang, I was still young when I left Liaodong, how could I ever get involved in military affairs?" Besides, it has been several years now, and I have never returned to Liaodong. Even if I defend the prince, the emperor will not believe it. He paused, "What's more, even if the emperor knows that these things are fake, what can he do? If he wants this thing to be true, then it is true." The prince should not think ...... The news revealed by the Chen family before was really a groundless rumor, right? No matter how Chen Liangdi's status in the East Palace is not as good as before, she is still a person close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she is better informed than the princess and princess outside. ”

King Liao's face became more and more ugly. He understood what Zhao Mo meant by this, if the emperor had the heart to dispose of the Liao Palace, even if the thing was fake, it would become true, not to mention that the Liao Mansion itself was not innocent? He had always had a bad relationship with the emperor, and he didn't know how to make friends with powerful ministers in the court, and he used to have an eldest son who had some face in front of the emperor, but now he has long lost his favor, everything is simply not going well, where does he get the confidence, he thinks that the emperor will not be cruel to him, and will not dismiss him?

Liaodong is such a big piece of land, and there is military power, and the border has been peaceful for a long time, but I am afraid that the emperor and the imperial court have long wanted to take back this fief, but there is no good reason to attack him, the owner of the fief, for fear of causing criticism from the clan. Now, isn't this all the good reason? The people in the clan will not think that the emperor is mean and unkind, but will only think that their Liao Wangfu has done its own wrong!

But the King of Liao was unwilling, he asked Zhao Mo: "Even if the emperor is ruthless, you ...... Since you are my grandson, can't you say good things for the Liao Palace?! Now that you are a saint, how can the emperor be able to listen to a sentence or two of what you say, if the emperor doesn't listen, then ...... And what about His Royal Highness the Prince?!He's always willing to listen?!"

Zhao Mo's eyes flashed slightly, his expression gradually became cold, and he said lightly: "Lord, what do you want me to intercede for? Is it the Liao Palace, or the second uncle? What kind of identity do I have for the royal family? The emperor can pity me, not necessarily because I am lonely and helpless, most of it is also because I know the current affairs." If I know what the emperor has planned, but I still want to disobey the holy will, even if the emperor once favored me, I am afraid that I will be displeased, right? If I anger the emperor, I have a small future and miss the major affairs of the palace, which is bad!"

King Liao's face changed suddenly, and he didn't dare to force Zhao Mo anymore. He heard a little bit of threat, now that the Liao Wangfu is full of pigtails, Zhao Li has not cleared the charges, he, the King of Liao, has an unstable position first, if Zhao Mo, the only one who still has a little face in front of the emperor, is annoyed at this time, Zhao Mo may not be so easy to intercede and save people, but it is easy to fall into the well. He really doesn't have any affection for this grandson, but he has a lot of grievances.

After thinking about it in every way, the King of Liao simply gritted his teeth: "These so-called evidence, in fact, you also know very well, are all left by the Beirong people, you don't need to think too much, you know that it is not credible! This is the conspiracy of the Beirong people, they want to take the opportunity to take revenge on our Liao Wangfu, just because the Liao Wangfu has guarded the border for decades and blocked their way south. They framed the Liao Wangfu in an unscrupulous plot! Brother Mo'er, you have to explain the details of this to the emperor, don't let the emperor be confused and do the wrong thing!"

Zhao Mo looked up at him: "What does the prince mean...... Let me report the truth about my second uncle's deception, and even the fact that my father took Lan Xue as a concubine and accepted Lan Fusheng as a servant?"

King Liao's face changed again and he stopped talking. If all these things are reported...... I'm afraid that the Liao Wangfu will also not be able to escape the charge.

Could it be that they are completely helpless?!

The King of Liao sat down on his seat with a dejected face, and his heart was in despair.

Zhao Mo softened his expression and said softly: "Lord Wang, don't worry too much, things are actually not at a dead end." ”

King Liao's eyes lit up and he looked up hopefully.

Zhao Mo smiled slightly: "It's just that there are some things that have to be paid." This time, the Liao Wangfu certainly fell into the trap of the Beirong people, but if it is innocent and invulnerable, there is no need to rush. In this case, in order to save the second uncle and escape the big crime, the prince has to suffer some losses. ”

The King of Liao asked him calmly: "If you can really save your second uncle, and let the palace survive this catastrophe safely, a little loss, eat it!"

Zhao Mo smiled lightly: "Since the prince is so refreshing, I won't sell it anymore." You know, what the emperor wants most is to take back the Liaodong fiefdom, which also means that you can no longer hold the power of Liaodong. But...... That doesn't mean that there is no end to the Liao Wangfu, you can keep the title of Liao Wang, take the whole family back to the capital to live for a long time, and return the fief power to the imperial court, or change another fief and return Liaodong to the emperor. ”

Seeing the look of resistance on King Liao's face, Zhao Mo quickly added: "If you can let the emperor's wish come true, how can he do things to the end? You are always the son of the first emperor, the emperor's own siblings, even if it is for the people of the world to see, to be a clan, he must be kind to you and your descendants." ”

King Liao was stunned for a moment, and he had already understood what he meant, but his eyes immediately showed suspicion: "These words were asked by the emperor to say to me? You are here to help him be a lobbyist, right? I am also your own grandfather, in order to hug the emperor's thighs, do such things as betraying my father and ancestors, don't you feel sorry?!"

Zhao Mo's expression was faint: "My father's concubines and servants are not something I can stop, I have also suffered a lot of losses from that pair of brothers and sisters; I really don't know when I turned my back on my father, but I just wanted to make amends for the mistakes made by my elders. The prince said that I was here to be a lobbyist for the emperor, but in fact, I was not acting as a lobbyist for the prince? I just wanted to intercede for the Liao palace in front of the emperor, and I always had some bargaining chips in my hand, otherwise, how could I say that the emperor would raise his noble hand? If the prince did not believe me, I would not be able to. I already have my own title and fief, and whether the Liao Wangfu is good or bad, what does it have to do with me? Even if my father's sins are discovered, I will not be affected, and there is no need to be thankless. The reason why I am still talking nonsense here is just because I want to do my part for the prince, father and second uncle because of blood fate. ”

He saluted the King of Liao, turned around and planned to leave, his posture was indescribably free, as if he really didn't care.

But the king of Liao can't get rid of it, and he must care. He hurriedly stopped Zhao Mo: "Good boy, I misunderstood you, don't go!" He gritted his teeth, "We can discuss again!"

Zhao Mo turned his back to him and stopped, the corners of his mouth curled, revealing a faint smile.
