Chapter 157

Six thousand soldiers just disappeared out of thin air?

Shen Xi's words made Xie Xi frown, Shen Xi leaned his head on the back of the Taishi chair, poked out a breath, and continued:

"During my time in the military department, although it seems to be fused into it on the surface, I have no clue about this matter. Because the 21,000 people sent to Beitang last time were all Li Jiajun, who obeyed the orders of General Li, and were not a faction with the officials of the Ministry of War, and Li Qing, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, was the righteous son of General Li, and Li Jiajun was under his control, so he couldn't ask anything at all. ”

Shen Xi exhaled, reached out and picked up the pearl earrings under Xie Yan's ears, rubbed them on his fingertips, and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

Xie Yan stopped what she was doing, wrapped her arms around Shen Xi's neck, and listened quietly. I thought hard about it, thinking about the details of my previous life.

After Shen Xi recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, King Su and King Fu were always unwilling, and King Su always retained his strength, and only after Shen Xi ascended the throne did he decide to gather troops to rebel, and King Fu's words did not seem to last until Shen Xi ascended the throne, Xie Yan vaguely remembered that His Royal Highness King Fu seemed to have ended up in exile in Pingchuan, but why was he exiled to Pingchuan?

Shen Xi saw that Xie Yan was a little distracted, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her cheek, pulling the distracted Xie Yan back, and said:

"What do you think?"

Xie Yan looked at his handsome face, shook his head, and the corners of his lips flashed with two shallow pear vortices, and said, "I was wondering where those six thousand people went." ”

Shen Yi smiled: "I'm investigating it now, which is what you can think of." ”

Xie Yan didn't speak, her eyes fell on the inkstone of the agarwood on the table, remembering that the previous King Fu was exiled, she heard Xie Jin say:

'You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity. ’

Xie Jin was still in the city defense camp at that time, King Fu was degraded and exiled, so he naturally had to pass through the city gate, Xie Jin was the one who saw King Fu's fate the most really, but how did King Fu do his own evil. He was demoted, and his grandfather, General Li, didn't say anything?

Hey, wait, General Li was in ...... at that time

Xie Xi got down from Shen Xi's lap, leaned on the bookcase, and looked at Shen Xi's eyes a little shining, Shen Xi saw her like this, so she knew that she had something to say, raised her eyebrows and asked, Xie Xi thought about it again before she spoke:

"After the battle in Beitang, can the imperial court send officials to survey the battlefield?"

Shen Xi nodded: "Checked, this is a must." What do you want to say? Go on. ”

When Xie Xi saw Shen Xi like this, she knew that he actually had an idea in his heart, but he didn't say it, she bit her lip, that is, in the face of Shen Xi, she dared to guess so presumptuously, because she knew that in this world, as long as the man in front of her was willing to protect her, then she didn't have to be afraid of anyone else.

"Who's the one who sent it? What if not six thousand people died in this battle? ”

Shen Xi's gaze staring at Xie Yan suddenly became serious, but the smile on his face gradually deepened, and he had a feeling of meeting a soulmate, and encouraged Xie Yan and said:

"Hmm. Go on. ”

Xie Yan got his encouragement, so she no longer hid her thoughts, and said it boldly:

"I think it, a war lasted for more than ten months, the number of dead soldiers reported was 6,000, and there were 15,000 left, such a record must not be said to be beautiful, but it was a win, but for this casualty figure, the emperor must not be very satisfied, so, although His Royal Highness King Fu personally went to Beitang to supervise the army, but after winning, the class returned to the court, and the emperor did not reward him, but in front of such a feat, the emperor did not give King Fu any reward, not only King Fu gladly accepted, Even the lady concubine and General Li in the palace did not doubt this, I think, if it is my son, or my grandson, who has worked hard to make such a contribution, even if the emperor does not reward King Fu, I will do my best to fight for merit for him, but Concubine Shuniang and General Li do not seem to have this meaning, this alone is very intriguing. Between the harem concubines, even if it is a copy of a scripture for the emperor, this can be regarded as a merit, if you go to the saint to ask for a seal, you can also get a reward, but the lady concubine Niangniang gave up such a great opportunity to ask for merit for His Royal Highness King Fu, this matter itself is very strange! Therefore, I also infer from this point that there must be a problem with the number of casualties in the Beitang battle. ”

After Xie Xi finished speaking, Shen Xi's hand was already on his chin, and he was very surprised that Xie Xi could think of this, and after lowering his eyelids and thinking for a while, Shen Xi said:

"Now that you've said that, just say everything you think. What do you think is the problem? ”

Cabinet ministers and generals of the military department each have their own considerations in their hearts, sometimes getting them together to discuss things will make them contain each other and hide from each other, even if someone and Xie Yan thought of going together, but they can say it without scruples like Xie Yan, but no one can do it, just for this reason, Shen Xi felt that his little wife was very powerful, stretched out his long arms, circled her waist, touched it twice, and was a little disappointed, the waist that was slightly rounded when he gave birth before, Because he served in the palace and all returned to the past, even more detailed than before, I couldn't help but feel distressed.

Xie Yan didn't feel Shen Xi's emotions at the moment, let him circle himself in his arms, and said everything in his heart without any scruples:

"I think the problem here is - although the battle in Beitang was won or lost, the number of casualties was definitely not 6,000, but 12,000, General Li was afraid that the emperor would punish His Royal Highness King Fu, so he concealed this matter for His Royal Highness King Fu, which can explain why His Royal Highness King Fu made great contributions in Beitang, and after coming back, the emperor did not reward him, but Concubine Niangniang and General Li did not ask him for credit."

After listening to all of Xie Yan's statements, Shen Xi couldn't help but nod heartily and said:

"My A-Tong is really a female Zhuge Ye. These things are the only ones who say all these things without scruples, and the officials next to you push me to let me, and after discussing for so many days, they are all pulling each other's skins, and no one dares to lead the topic to this. ”

When Xie Yan heard Shen Xi praising her, she couldn't help but smile happily, stretched out her arms around his neck, and said:

"When you say that, do you agree with me?"

Shen Xi nodded: "Yes, I agree." Hitomi is really my interpretation flower. Come to incense one. ”

After Shen Xi finished speaking, he took Xie Xi's hand and pushed it forward, Xie Xi didn't pay attention, leaned forward, and her soft lips touched, Shen Xi originally just wanted to kiss a dragonfly like water, but she didn't expect that she couldn't throw it away as soon as she got it, Ah Tong's taste was too good, so that he wanted, stopped, no, can, he simply hugged the person to his lap again, and bullied her a few times before letting her go.

Xie Yan gasped, the whole person was soft, and her limbs were weak, so she had to hang on Shen Xi's arm, and after she eased up a little, she beat his chest a few times as if complaining, but her look of anger made Shen Xi's eyes darken, Xie Yan was shocked, and hurriedly stood up from him, stepped aside, and hurriedly said:

"Oh, husband, I'm not done yet, let's talk for a while."

Shen Xi stood up and approached step by step, and in a few steps, Xie Yan was trapped between the bookcase and his arm, and approached her like a scoundrel and said, "Why don't we talk well like this?" I didn't do anything, did I? ”

"But, but you...... You bully people. Xie Yan was embarrassed, and her whole body couldn't help but hide backwards, but Shen Xi followed suit, Xie Yan retreated an inch, and he was nearly two inches, which soon made Xie Yan's back almost stick to the bookcase.

Shen Xi's domineering breath sprayed on Xie Xi's face, making her intoxicated, only to hear Shen Xi's low voice say in her ear:

"Why did I bully you? Did I gag you, or did I make you speechless? Well? ”

Although the two have been married for a long time, Xie Yan even gave birth to the child in front of him, but in the face of his undisguised provocation and teasing, she is still as shy as a girl, her face is red as if she is about to drip blood, biting her lip and not knowing how to refute.

She was not very good at talking, but now that she has encountered such an unreasonable fuss as Shen Xi, she doesn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing her like this, Shen Xi couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart, and leaned over and kissed her the lips, and then let go of his grip on her, and took her hand and walked out of the small study.

While walking, Shen Xi said:

"Even if some courtiers suspect it now, but no one dares to put it forward, the emperor has the intention to investigate, but the officials below have deceived him and concealed it, which makes him very annoyed, and these days are at a loss."

Xie Yan broke away from Shen Xi's approach, only then did she feel that the air was so fresh, and after taking a few big breaths, she said:

"Actually, I don't think it's that difficult. After all, it was six thousand, not six, sixty, how could it be so thoroughly hidden? ”

Shen Xi sighed, came to the table, poured two cups of water for the two of them from the teapot, and said in a deep voice:

"Li Jiajun is strict in governing the army, even if there are any clues, people from outside have to be able to enter, but after the Li Jiajun fought in Beitang, it was closed to an iron pass, and outsiders couldn't enter at all, and naturally no one knew what was going on inside. If you want to investigate from Li Jiajun, it's not easy. ”

Shen Xi handed a cup of tea to Xie Yan, Xie Yan took it with both hands, and after taking a sip, he rolled his eyes and said:

"Since Li Jiajun can't start there, let's start from other places. No matter how strict General Li is in governing the army, every time he transfers troops, he always has to go through the imperial court. If he did help His Royal Highness King Fu lie about the number of casualties in the Beitang War, then when the class returned to the court, he always had to resist the number of people who returned triumphantly, after all, 15,000 people and 9,000 people, it seems that there is still a big difference in the number, if he wants to fill in the people, then he will inevitably use the troops of the Li family army in other places, then let the military department start from this aspect, and see if he has used the troops in other places after the Beitang War, before the victorious return of the soldiers, this can prove whether there is a problem in the Beitang War, And even if this method doesn't work, there are others, he governs the army strictly, but he always has to ask the court for military salaries, let the household keep an eye on Li Jiajun's military salary, or simply press it for a period of time, and don't say it, don't say it, if Li Jiajun has a ghost in his heart, he naturally doesn't dare to say anything, once they are weak-hearted, then you can take advantage of the weakness, it's always an opportunity. ”

The author has something to say: the first more... Give me encouragement and I'll be back soon!!!!
