"Someone, take Qin Li to the secret trial room, go to the palace immediately, report this matter to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to send someone to participate in the trial."

Ma Yilin, the waiter of the Criminal Department, because he explained the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty in detail to Guo Zongxun, who was still the crown prince, a while ago, and participated in the release of Qin Li, he had already become Guo Zongxun's cronies at that time.

Qin Li was taken to the Criminal Department by Zhao Kuangyin, and Ma Yilin arranged for Qin Li's trial, and at the same time sent someone to report to the palace.

"Master Ma, why don't we listen to what this Qin Hanlin said first, and then report to Your Majesty, in case this Qin Li talks nonsense, let Your Majesty know, I'm afraid that we will be blamed for making a big fuss."

Zhao Kuangyin said this, he didn't have any selfish intentions, since Qin Li was shouting grievances on the street, this matter could not be covered, as for whether it could be used or not, it all depended on the development of the situation.

"Marshal Zhao, Qin Li's case, Your Majesty attaches great importance to it, last time because Qin Li escaped, the lower official was reprimanded by His Majesty, the lower official thinks that since this Qin Li has the ability to find out the military situation of my Great Zhou, if he really goes to the Southern Tang Dynasty......"

There is no need for Ma Yilin to say anything, and Zhao Kuangyin also understands the meaning.

If this is the case, then the military intelligence of the Southern Tang Dynasty brought back by Qin Li must be very important.

No longer entangled in this matter, while waiting for someone to come to the palace, Zhao Kuangyin asked casually:

"Master Ma, when Ben Shuai first returned to Kaifeng, he once saw a lieutenant named Yao Mingshi escorted a lieutenant named Yao Mingshi to the Criminal Department, I don't know what happened to this person now?"

Ma Yilin smiled:

"Even if the marshal doesn't ask, the subordinate has to make it clear to the marshal, after this Yao Mingshi arrived at the Criminal Department, he always messed around, one moment said that he was not on duty that night, which was not considered a violation of military discipline, and one moment said that even if he violated military discipline, it should be dealt with by the army, and then said that he saw Zhao Pu in the Marshal's Mansion...... After a while, he said that what he saw was actually a marshal, and this man, in order to escape punishment, was simply nonsense and did everything. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile:

"On the street that day, this guy wanted to bite Mr. Zeping in my house, Mr. Zeping did go back to Beijing to do things for Ben Shuai, but those are all private matters, Ben Shuai is entrusted by the emperor, naturally he does not dare to be rash, he is careful along the way, for fear that a mistake will make the emperor's edict lost, and some private matters will send Mr. Zeping back to Beijing quickly, but he doesn't want to cause these things."

Ma Yilin smiled:

"Your Majesty has already been informed of this matter, and Your Majesty has also said that it seems that such villain tricks, don't pay attention to them, dare to bite the important ministers of the court, especially the generalissimo of the Great Zhou Dynasty soldiers and horses that I have just canonized, this Yao Mingshi should be killed, and when sentencing according to the law, the crime will be increased by one degree."

Speaking of which, Ma Yilin didn't say anything, and he didn't say whether he killed Yao Mingshi or not.

Zhao Kuangyin is not easy to ask, anyway, just clear his suspicions, judging from this matter, the little emperor still trusts himself very much.

After returning to Beijing, did he think too much about the little emperor's actions against him?

Any emperor dealing with ministers with great power will have this kind of attitude, using suspicion, suspicion is the emperor's mind.

If it was replaced by Zhao and Zhao became the emperor, it would probably be the same.

Zhao Kuangyin no longer asked about it, but chatted with Ma Yilin.

Soon, the palace sent Li Tongjie, the chief eunuch, which shows the importance that the little emperor attaches to this matter.

"Our family has seen Marshal Zhao and Master Ma."

"Father-in-law Li is polite, Father-in-law Li, please take a seat."

"It's not deserved, our family was sent by His Majesty to come to testify, since it involves the military intelligence of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is better to always hear first-hand, this is the Criminal Department, our family and Marshal Zhao are witnesses, the presiding judge should be Lord Ma, or Lord Ma is seated."

In fact, there are no such rules in the secret room, but since Li Tongjie has spoken, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't care, it's useless to care about these small things, and those who don't sit on the throne are always inferior to the emperor's throne.

Sending someone to bring Qin Li in, Ma Yilin said:

"Qin Li, Your Majesty specially sent Gonggong Li here, and Marshal Zhao is here, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"The lower official asked for pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the military situation of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the lower official remembered it in his mind."

Li Tongjie smiled:

"Qin Li, you don't want to get away with it, make it up, your current sin, Your Majesty said that he would only kill you, if you still dare to bully the king, it will be a big sin for the Nine Clans, Qin Li, you will talk about it after you think about it."

Qin Li knelt down and kowtowed:

"The sinner knows that he will die, but before he dies, he only wants to atone for some sins, and the sinner swears to the sky, and what he said about the military situation of the Southern Tang Dynasty must be true, and he will never dare to deceive the king."

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were brought up, and Qin Li began to write and draw, Li Tongjie couldn't sit still, so he walked to Qin Li's side to watch, and when he saw it, he was also taken aback.

The level of this Qin Li's hand-drawn map seems to have a fight with Zhao Ergongzi.

Li Tongjie walked to Zhao Kuangyin's side again and whispered to Zhao Kuangyin:

"Our family hasn't congratulated Marshal Zhao yet, and we will have to rely on it more in the future."

Zhao Kuangyin owes himself and says:

"Father-in-law Li is polite, it is the handsome man who has to rely on Father-in-law Li more."

"Oh, Marshal Zhao, let's not be polite to each other like this, our family just looked at Qin Li's hand-drawn map, and remembered Tingyi Gongzi, Tingyi Gongzi is very important to His Majesty during this time."

Zhao Kuangyin has been back in Beijing for a while, and he has not seen his second brother Zhao Kuangyi, saying that he was left in the palace by the little emperor to carry out a major event that benefits the country, the army and the people.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyi was placed by Guo Zongxun in the Chun Trap Courtyard to draw a topographic map of the Great Zhou.

Summarize the maps collected from all over the world, arrange special personnel to survey and correct them, and then send them back to Zhao Kuangyi and other painters to draw a detailed and accurate topographic map of the Great Zhou.

The reason why Guo Zongxun did not let Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi brothers meet also had his own purpose.

These topographic maps of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot fall into the hands of Zhao Kuangyin in any case, once Zhao Kuangyi can move freely, with his character that likes to show off everywhere, let alone Zhao Kuangyin, I am afraid that the whole Kaifeng will know.

Before completing the task of the first stage of mapping the map, Zhao Kuangyi must be imprisoned in the Spring Trap Courtyard.

It took Qin Li a full three hours to draw all the military information of the Southern Tang Dynasty that he brought back.

"Gonggong Li, Marshal Zhao, Master Ma, these drawings still need to be accompanied by detailed text descriptions, if they are to be completed, I am afraid that they will take at least three days."

Zhao Kuangyin was shocked when he saw the maps drawn by Qin Li.

Why didn't you think of drawing such a detailed military map before?

His second brother's ability to draw pictures...... Now it seems that it is definitely useful.

Thinking like this, the secret affairs that the little emperor is putting the second brother in charge of, nine times out of ten, is to draw a military map of the Great Zhou.

It seems that he was negligent before, and he always thought that the second brother was too young and frivolous to be useful, but as a result, the second brother became a very important talent in the hands of the little emperor.

"Qin Li, take this picture as an example, you can tell us about it."

It was Li Tongjie who asked the question, and before coming, Guo Zongxun told him that Zhao Kuangyin could listen to the military information about the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he might be used when he conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"The sinner obeys."
