At this time, Chen Zhen, who was watching Le Jun's letter, immediately objected when he heard that Luo Yi was going to confirm the charge of Le Jun's rebellion: "The king must not, we can't confirm whether Le Jun has really rebelled yet, so we rashly arrested Le Jun, which undoubtedly confirmed the rumors in the city, making the people think that the king had attacked Le Jun and them."

Moreover, just by virtue of Le Jun's identity, only a few letters of unknown truth and falsehood were convicted of Le Jun's rebellion, which was difficult to convince the public. ”

Xiong Huai nodded approvingly.

Lejun and their fiefdom have been lost, and even a few troops have been left in Juyang, they are already rootless trees without roots at this time, and they can't make any big waves.

Therefore, for the state of Chu, it doesn't matter how Lejun and them are now, what matters is how to stabilize the ministers of the court and the central government and stabilize the feudal monarchs in various places after experiencing a defeat.

To be precise, as long as the feudal monarchs of Huainan are still obeying the dispatch of Yingdu, then there will be no major problems in the Chu State.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at the bamboo slips and said, "The assassination order is reasonable, and these bamboo slips alone are not enough to confirm that Le Jun has betrayed. ”

As soon as Luo Yi heard that the King of Chu did not follow his advice, and his plan to get rid of his guilt failed, he immediately said eagerly: "Great King, Le Jun Sima must have been ready to rebel when he killed Yiyang Jun and their important ministers. The minister thought that if he didn't make a decision at this time, he immediately sent troops to arrest Le Jun, and after waiting for a while, the minister was worried that Le Jun had already persuaded Yiyang Jun to kill them and blame the king. ”

Xiong Huai glanced at Luo Yi coldly when he heard this, and saw that he was still playing his own little abacus at this time, so he couldn't help but say in an unkind tone: "Ridiculous, if Le Jun is really as Si Defeat said, then Si Defeat thinks that in the case of Le Jun Sima has already made a move, now Le Jun has not convinced Yi Yangjun and the others, or has not done anything to Yi Yangjun and them."

Could it be that Le Jun would be stupidly waiting for Si Shi to arrest him? ”

"This..." Luo Yi was stunned and suddenly dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai said coldly: "If Le Jun has already rebelled, then it is too late to send troops to arrest Le Jun now." If Le Jun did not betray the widow, but only Le Jun Sima was bought. At this time, the widow issued an edict to arrest Le Jun, didn't it confirm the rumor that the widow was going to attack Le Jun and them.

I don't know what Si Yu thinks, if Le Jun has not betrayed the widow, but the widow has issued an edict to arrest him, then after Le Jun and the others get the news, will they be arrested? Or just go into hiding? ”

"This..."

Xiong Huai saw that Luo Yi opened his mouth and said nothing, snorted coldly, and then ordered: "The matter has come to this point, and the widow must not act rashly, otherwise, Le Jun and the others, who are already like frightened birds, will inevitably take risks in a desperate situation."

Spread the edict, immediately go out to the list of Anmin, and tell the fathers and brothers in the country that the Chu army has just sent out to arrest spies from various countries, and it has gained a lot, please don't panic the fathers and brothers. ”

"Yui."

After a waiter left to pass on the edict, Xiong Huai remembered the news that Chen Zhen had reported before, and looked at Luo Yi sternly: "Si defeated, the widow heard that the news that you went to arrest the spies of various countries today is not the news that the assassin Shiling sent to you, I don't know who passed these news to you, so that you fell into the trap of the other party so easily, and carried the evil act of killing Yiyang Jun and other feudal lords and important ministers." ”

"This..." Luo Yiyan's neck shrank suddenly, and then Zhao Chang's figure emerged from his mind.

Thinking of Zhao Chang, he shook his head suddenly, at this moment, he didn't dare to expose Zhao Chang. Not only because of Zhao Chang's high status and strong Zhao clan, but also for himself.

Getting information by himself, being greedy for credit, and acting without authorization, this crime is much lighter than obeying Zuo Yin's dispatch.

Thinking about it, Luo Yi immediately responded: "The king, the minister is guilty, since the minister got the king's order, there have always been spies in the city, after two days of investigation, early this morning, the minister got the news, has found the location of the spies from various countries, and then mobilized the army to arrest, don't want to, but the minister was calculated." ”

Xiong Huai looked at Luo Yi for a while when he heard this, and was noncommittal about his statement, but asked in a cold tone: "Since you got the news, why don't you communicate with the assassin Shi Ling who is in charge of finding out the news, and act alone." ”

As soon as Luo Yi heard King Chu's questioning, a faint panic flashed in his heart, and he immediately pleaded guilty: "The king, the minister is guilty." Since the minister was ordered, he has been anxious to fulfill the king's trust. However, two days have passed, and there has been no news from the assassin Shi Ling. As a result, the minister's spies had only been in the city for a day when news came.

So... Therefore, the minister thought that the spies who assassinated Shi Ling could not succeed at all, so he acted on his own. ”

Chen Zhen on the side couldn't help but look at him coldly when he heard Luo Yi talk about himself and accuse him of being ineffective, and then immediately pleaded guilty: "King, the minister is guilty." Seeing that the king was calm in the face of the rumors in the city, the ministers easily pacified the ministers, and then the rumors in the city gradually subsided.

Yichen thought that it was not difficult to quell the rumors, and it was not difficult to arrest those who spread the rumors, but the minister thought that it was not our goal to arrest the spies who were exposed. Our real goal should be to hide behind these spies, the intelligence network that various countries have painstakingly managed in Yingdu.

Therefore, in order to wipe out the spies of various countries, and in order to find out the spies planted by various countries in our Chu country, the minister's action was slowed down. ”

As soon as Luo Yi heard what Chen Zhen said, he immediately paused and pleaded again: "The king, because the minister misunderstood the assassination order, he acted alone, the minister is guilty, please punish the king." ”

Xiong Huai couldn't help frowning when he saw the two of them pleading.

Two days have passed since the rumors came out, and the reason why he has turned a blind eye to the actions of Chen Zhenluo and Luo Yi in the past two days is not only because of trust, but also because he took the opportunity to destroy the intelligence networks of various countries.

Xiong Huai believed that Chen Zhen and Luo Yi both knew what they meant, otherwise they would not have stood still on the first day.

But Xiong Huai never expected that in order to compete for merit, Si Luo Yi listened to the information he got from nowhere, not only believed it, but also acted without authorization, so that he poked out such a big basket.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai glanced at Luo Yi again in surprise, this Luo Yi obviously knew what he meant, but he still took action, and he acted alone.

This only shows one problem, that is, he was so convinced of the information he received that he ignored Chen Zhen, who specialized in finding out information.

So the question is, where did this information come from that made Luo Yi so trusted?

He had already asked this question, but Luo Yi didn't answer it, but although Luo Yi didn't answer it, he had a channel to know the truth.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai said in a sharp tone: "Forget it, this matter will end here." However, if you two are not effective, you must not go unpunished. ”

The two of them glanced at each other when they heard this, then snorted coldly at the same time, and then saluted: "Please punish the king." ”

"Assassin Shi Ling, Qing is responsible for finding out the news, and failing to exchange news with Si Yu in time is a dereliction of duty, and the widow will punish you for three months, you can admit the punishment."

Chen Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "The minister is guilty." ”

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Luo Yi, although he had the intention to remove him and control the army under Si Defeat's command in his own hands, but at this time, it was not appropriate to compete with the nobles in the court, lest the country be more unstable.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai pondered for a moment and said: "Si Luo, you are gullible in believing the news that you are investigating, not only do you not communicate with the assassin Shi Ling, who specializes in finding out the news, but you are greedy for merit, so that you fall into the calculations of other countries, and your crime is not light. Therefore, the widow dismissed you from the post of defeat, and demoted you to one level, and the title was reduced from Zhigui to Zhibo.

But..."

As soon as Luo Yi heard that his position of division was gone, he suddenly lost his strength, and was about to fall into the middle, when he suddenly heard the tone of the King of Chu change, his heart was first loose, and then tight, and his heart suddenly jumped to his throat, and he didn't know what the King of Chu would do with himself.

"But... The widow remembers that you have been dedicated to the country all these years, trembling and trembling, and rarely making mistakes. Therefore, the widow allowed you to temporarily take the position of the secretary, so that you can continue to capture the spies of various countries and destroy the intelligence network of various countries for the widow. If he can make meritorious contributions, he will be reinstated to his original position, and his title can also be restored. ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai stared at Luo Yi tightly with his eyes and asked, "You can admit punishment." ”

As soon as Luo Yi heard that the king of Chu had given him the opportunity to make up for his merits, he immediately showed gratitude, and bowed again: "The minister accepts the punishment, and he will do his best to serve the king, and make every effort to arrest spies from various countries to relieve the king's worries." ”

"Hmm!" Xiong Huai nodded: "The two of you should step aside." ”

"Yui."
