Jing Kang Diqi said: "Why don't you say it? Antai specially reminded me that the cement burned by Li Jing was not up to standard and could not be used to build roads and cities, and he should be stopped as soon as possible to avoid irreparable losses." ”

He was startled when he read the letter just now, and was about to send someone to arrest Li Jing and stop Yu Xiwen from using the cement burned by Li Jing to build the road.

Li Jing led people to toss in the suburbs of Beijing for nearly two months, and the cement was really burned. is gearing up with Yu Xiwen to make a big fight and build a thoroughfare from the capital to the northwest frontier. At that time, it will be much easier to transport military supplies from the interior to Lingyun Pass, Feihu Pass, Xuanwu Pass, and other places.

Wang Ji didn't explain, but asked with a smile: "Li Jing was grabbed by Cai Yong and coerced him to steal cement technology." Wouldn't Cai Yong be able to dedicate this technology to his master? Could the thieves also burn cement?"

Jing Kangdi's eyes widened.

Wang Ji said solemnly: "Weichen thinks that the thief will definitely not let go of such a good thing, and he may have been burning cement to build roads." ”

Jing Kangdi asked, "So what?"

Wang admonished: "I can't bear the child and can't trap the wolf." Fight for us to lose some, let the thieves continue to burn this cement, and use this cement to build roads and cities, and build as many projects as possible. If the emperor is reluctant to lose, he can also seal the cement factory first and order Yu Xiwen to suspend the project, under the pretext that he will wait for Liang Xinming to enter Beijing to close the case before starting construction. However, don't say that there is a problem with the cement, and don't reveal a word. ”

Emperor Jing Kang turned to the Marquis of Zhongyi, and the two looked at each other.

Jing Kangdi said: "The thief must have burned!"

Zhongyi Hou said: "The thief must have burned!"

With that, the two of them burst out laughing.

When the king saw that they understood, he also smiled.

However, this smile fell in the eyes of Emperor Jing Kangdi and Fang Wushi, and it had a bit of a wicked taste, which was a little inconsistent with Wang Shangshu's always elegant and righteous image.

Emperor Jing Kang pointed at Wang Jile and said, "Wang Aiqing is too insidious!"

Fang Wushi also felt that Wang Ji at this moment was very insidious.

Wang Jian said with a righteous face: "It's not that Weichen is insidious, it's caused by their improper mental skills." ”

Li Jing and Bai Ying were sent to Liang Xinming by him, but not only did they not help, but they also colluded with the anti-thieves to steal Liang Xinming's cement firing technology, and even took a bite back, framing Liang Xinming for killing people and stealing merit, which is unbearable.

Is he easy to provoke?

This makes them pay back double.

After this burst of laughter, the atmosphere in the imperial study was much more relaxed, and Emperor Jing Kangdi's face was better and his mood was better.

Wang Jian thought of Meng Qingquan again, and hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, Meng Qingquan colluded with the thief, but his person is dead, what should I do?"

Emperor Jing Kangdi immediately changed his face and said fiercely: "If she is dead, it will be over, dig up the grave and whip the corpse! Then order the Meng family to expel her from the clan, otherwise the nine clans will be guilty of the same crime!"

Wang Ji nodded and said, "My Emperor Shengming." ”

So he sent an edict to Shi Wanchun, the left servant of the Criminal Department, and disposed of Li Jing according to Wang Zhi's proposal. And this will be proclaimed by the king. Wang Jian is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Li Jing is a person from the Ministry of Industry, and he appointed Liang Xinming, so it is just right for him to go.

Next, it is time to discuss the deployment of troops.

Wang Ji immediately resigned and did not participate in military politics.

Emperor Jing Kangdi didn't keep him and let him go.

Fang Wushi watched Wang Zhi go out, and he wanted to speak again, but the emperor left him to discuss the military situation, and he couldn't chase him out to talk, so he only lowered his head and groaned.

Emperor Jing Kang swept down, only the Marquis of Zhongyi was alone, thinking of calling a few more courtiers to discuss the military situation, but in his heart he weighed the people he was looking for one by one, and found that he couldn't find one more, so he couldn't help but be stunned.

Dajing attaches equal importance to civil and military affairs, and the civil and military generals perform their duties, and if there is such a major military situation to discuss in the past, the three kings of Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu will definitely enter the palace.

However, the current situation is unique.

One of the four spirits can't be relied on.

Since the end of Yongping, Dajing has set up four spirits to protect the country, and now, the Qinglong King has set up his own door, and Anguo and Dajing stand side by side; the White Tiger King is suspected of rebellion, so naturally he can't call Lin Shizi to come; before the truth is ascertained, Suzaku and Xuanwu don't dare to trust it wholeheartedly, so they can't call Zhao Shizi and Zhang Shizi. At this critical juncture, except for the loyal and righteous marquis, there was no more than one around the emperor.

Left and right, the king admonishes them?

They have strong ability to govern the economy and civil affairs, but it is not appropriate for Wenchen to interfere in military affairs after all, and they cannot listen to scholars talk about the army on paper.

The military department is still the book of Ma Liang?

Who knows if it has been bought?

……

Emperor Jing Kang couldn't help but be gloomy.

He realized that compared with the previous emperors enshrined in the Royal Taimiao, he lacked ability and courage, and thought that if Emperor Yingwu met today's situation, he would definitely be able to deal with it calmly, not like he couldn't grasp the clue.

He was forced to such a situation by rebellious ministers and thieves, how could he not be provoked? On impulse, he wanted to pass on the decree and send Lin Zicheng to prison. Think about it carefully, and calm down again. The evidence is insufficient, and if he is wrong and misses a thousand miles, the consequences are not something he can afford. This is the same reason as the previous treatment of Zhao Yin.

Fang Wushi didn't hear any movement for a long time, and when he looked up, the emperor's face was not good again, and he hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, it's time to recall the three kings back to Beijing." ”

Emperor Jing Kang said: "Summoning the three kings back to Beijing?"

Fang Wushi nodded heavily: "Yes!"

Emperor Jing Kang frowned and said, "This ......"

Among the three kings, only one person rebelled, whether it was the White Tiger King or not, and further investigation and evidence collection were needed before they could be annihilated in one fell swoop. Now summon everyone into Beijing, not to mention the grass and snakes, what if the enemy country takes the opportunity to send troops?

Fang Wushi said: "Your Majesty, it will be ten and a half days at the least, and at most one month, there must be news from Wang Shilang, and he will be able to determine the mastermind behind it." ”

Emperor Jing Kang said: "Can there be news in ten days?"

Fang Wushi said: "It shouldn't be too long." ”

Then he said: "But the soldiers are fast, we have to arrange them in advance." The capital is far away from the frontier, and the emperor may wish to make a secret decree first and summon the three kings into Beijing to escort them. I'm afraid that before the holy decree reaches the frontier, the news of Wang Shilang will come. At that time, the emperor issued a second holy decree, and let two of the kings lead troops to capture the thieves. At that time, the three kings were all on their way to Beijing, and if the thieves had arrangements in advance, we could deal with them in time, so as not to delay the opportunity. - Wei Chen guessed that the man must have been arranged. ”

Jing Kangdi's eyes lit up.

The reason why it is impossible to dispatch troops now is because it is not yet certain that the rebel is the White Tiger King, and once it is confirmed, Suzaku and Xuanwu will be alive.

However, King Xuanwu sent his nephew to wave his army in the pass and approach the capital, and Emperor Jing Kang was still uncomfortable thinking about it, and he always felt that King Xuanwu was also ready to move.

Fang Wushi said again: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about the northern frontier. In the northwest Xuanwu Pass, two of Weichen's subordinates were transferred over last year and served as deputy generals, and they can communicate with the news; ”

Lord Yan, that is, Yan Duyang.

Emperor Jing Kang was no longer just on the throne, and he had already understood that Zuo Duanyang recommended Yan Duiyang to go to Northern Xinjiang, and he had selfish intentions in it, but Yan Duanyang lived up to his trust, and after arriving in Northern Xinjiang, he did his best to not only govern the local economy well, but also greatly improve the diplomatic and commercial relations with Angola.
