Although Liu Shiyuan hated Yang Ling so much in his heart, he still knew where he was, so he forcibly held back the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Lord Yang, please ask." ”

"This time the affairs of the Taifu Mansion are absolutely secret to the outside world, I don't know where the general got the news? Do you always keep an eye on the movements of the DPRK and Chinese officials? Yang Ling naturally didn't know the source of Liu Shiyuan's information, he just wanted to remind some people who held official positions with real power but didn't do anything.

"Hmph, there was such a big movement of you yesterday, why don't you ask General Ben about it. In addition, there are so many people in your criminal department, General Ben can just ask a random person, do you still need to stare at you? Liu Shiyuan was very disdainful.

"The general is clearly lying, are you trying to keep it a secret for that person? Could it be that person is even more important than the emperor? Yang Ling's words were very sharp, and he directly accused Liu Shiyuan of bullying the king.

"Nonsense!"

However, the biggest reaction to Yang Ling's words was not Liu Shiyuan, but Dali Siqing. Although he knew that Liu Shiyuan would definitely not respond to this statement, it was enough to frighten him. If a general can have a more important position than the emperor in his heart, doesn't it directly say that he wants to rebel! He hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Lord Yang, don't cover up the leaker because he is a member of your criminal department, don't wronged a good person."

"I don't need to cover up. Many people can prove that I and the people from the Criminal Department only returned to the Criminal Department from the Taifu Mansion early this morning, and then I hurriedly came to the court, and the people under my command are still working overtime to sort out what I found in the Taifu Mansion yesterday. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the Criminal Department to see if all the people are still there! Yang Ling naturally couldn't tolerate someone doubting himself and his subordinates so much, and retorted sharply.

"On the contrary, it is Dali Temple, except for the people from my criminal department, only you and the people from Dali Temple have seen the affairs of Taifufu, I don't know what your explanation is? What's more, when you left yesterday, I also reminded you not to leak it at this time. ”

Although Yang Ling's words did not clearly state the object of his suspicions, the officials had already guessed it, after all, the fact that Dali Siqing was Liu Shiyuan's person was not a secret in the court.

"You!" Dali Siqing was choked by Yang Ling and had nothing to say, so he could only stand there and sulk with himself.

"Do you have anything to say?" Li Yiqian looked at Dali Siqing.

"The minister is wronged, the emperor, the person who leaked the secret is definitely not a micro-minister! Please the emperor to see! Dali Siqing saw Li Yiqian's cold eyes and knew that he might have really done something wrong this time.

"What do you say about this informant, General?" Li Yiqian ignored his rhetoric and turned his head to look at Liu Shiyuan again.

"The minister only received a notice from the guards in the palace that someone delivered news to the minister to know about it, and later saw that the people from the criminal department did go to the Taifu Mansion, which was somewhat certain, so there was today's excerpt. Wechen really doesn't know who the whistleblower is! Liu Shiyuan had a clear conscience.

"When I arrived at Hai Shi yesterday, the minister had just finished arranging martial law in Beijing and was about to return to his house, and he saw Dali Siqing coming out of the general's mansion, and I don't know what he had done." Sun Ze naturally couldn't let them pull him down, and at this time, seeing that Yang Ling had already pointed the finger at Dali Siqing and Liu Shiyuan, he was not polite at the moment.

"That's really a coincidence, why did Yong'an Hou happen to see the lower official go to the General's Mansion?" Dali Siqing said this in a weird way.

"Ben Hou was not the only one present at that time, do you want to call them over one by one and let Dali Siqing ask clearly?" Looking at his appearance, Sun Ze didn't say anything polite to her, and then sneered back.

"Enough! This is the main hall, and I am not here to listen to your quarrels. Li Yiqian loudly stopped them from arguing any further.

"Dali Siqing, I only ask you, did you go to the General's Mansion yesterday to report the news!" Li Yiqian's voice was faintly angry.

When Dali Siqing was about to speak, Liu Shiyuan spoke first. "Ask the emperor to forgive the sins of Weichen, yesterday Dali Siqing did come to the general's mansion. Weichen also learned the news of Taifu's Mansion from him. ”

Saying that, Liu Shiyuan slammed his head on the ground. He also didn't want to admit it, because once he did, what followed would be a big hat of bullying. But if he doesn't admit it, once Sun Ze and Yang Ling's words are confirmed, his charges will definitely not be lighter than now. And he could almost conclude that what they said was true. Liu Shiyuan, who has been in the court for many years, naturally knows how to choose what is most beneficial to him.

And Dali Siqing, who was originally going to quibble, was stunned when he heard his words, did the general mean to abandon himself? Before he could react, Li Yiqian directly condemned them.

"General Liu Shiyuan is a criminal and deceitful, and he ......" Before he finished speaking, someone from Liu Shiyuan's faction stepped forward to intercede.

"Your Majesty! The general is a great achievement! ”

They know best what the crime of bullying the monarch is, how can they let Li Yiqian say it, you must know that once Chrysostom opens, there is no room for retraction.

"The general sweated and shed blood for our country, and the emperor can't chill the hearts of the soldiers!"

"Ask the emperor to be merciful and forgive the general!" A third of the people in the court knelt down to plead for mercy, and most of them were military generals.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the general should not be spared. How can the sin of deceitfulness be so easily let go? If this is the case, won't everyone in the DPRK and China follow suit? Zhao Jingle saw that Liu Shiyuan was unlucky, and now that he has been caught for such a big crime, if he is not good at making use of it, I am afraid that God will not be able to see it.

"The general is loyal to the country, how could he deliberately commit such a mistake? This is clearly the bewitchment of people with a heart! "A clever civil servant under Liu Shiyuan has stolen a different concept of his sin.

The two charges of being bewitched and bullying the king could not be more obvious, Liu Shiyuan saw that they had found a breakthrough for themselves, and hurriedly spoke.

"Your Majesty, it was the Dali Temple Qing who begged Weichen not to confess him, he was afraid that he would be implicated. The minister couldn't bear to agree, but he didn't think that he would be a criminal and deceive the king, and asked the emperor to forgive the minister this time! ”

Li Yiqian looked at Liu Shiyuan's indignant appearance, and for some reason he wanted to laugh.

And Dali Siqing heard that they meant to abandon the car to protect the handsome, and immediately panicked. "General, the lower official is doing this for you, you can't do this to the lower official!"

"Where do you put the Great General like this? You ungrateful thing, have you forgotten your original intention of being an official? It's simply disloyalty, unfilial piety, and unkindness! This person saw that Dali Siqing was about to say something that should not be said, so he quickly interrupted him. When the word "unfilial" was spoken, the volume was deliberately increased.

After listening to his words, Dali Siqing was like being poured a basin of cold water, and immediately calmed down.

This is threatening him with his mother at home, and what he is most afraid of is what harm will happen to his mother. Dali Siqing lost his father when he was young, and it was his mother who raised him with hard work. For this reason, I don't know how many white eyes he suffered, and at that time he vowed that he would make his mother happy in the future. Later, he really won the fame and became the secretary of Dali Temple.

It's just that officialdom is difficult to mix, so he chose to stand in Liu Shiyuan's team. has been in the officialdom for so many years, and the enthusiasm he had when he first entered the officialdom has long since been exhausted. Only the heart for the mother is still the same, no matter what, you can't implicate the mother and suffer with yourself again.

"Minister, guilty. The minister should not have spread the news after Lord Yang told him, and it was an unforgivable crime to try to bewitch the general. Please forgive the emperor. Dali Siqing kowtowed to Li Yiqian with a heavy face.

Dali Siqing's words fell, and the hall was quiet. Some people are annoyed, some are happy, and some are watching the development of the situation purely with the attitude of watching the play.

Today's scene is expected by Li Yiqian, as long as they are not stupid, they will throw Dali Siqing out and bear all the faults. That's what he's planning.

"The general deceived the king in front of the emperor, but he had no malice in his mind, so he was demoted to a first-class general, fined for one year, and thought about it behind closed doors for a month. As for Dali Siqing, he will step down and return from now on, and he will not be an official for the rest of his life. The new successor will be drawn up by the Ministry of Officials as soon as possible. After speaking, Li Yiqian ignored the eyes of everyone in the court, and walked out directly.

When he walked out, Dali Siqing reacted. He actually saved his life! Although he lost his official position, he was ...... After the calmness just now, his heart, which has been fascinated by his position of power over the years, has gradually cleared up a lot. He knows what he wants to do in the future, and he doesn't have to be an official to serve the country, does he?

Ignoring the gaze of everyone with all kinds of emotions, Dali Temple Qing left by himself, and even ignored Liu Shiyuan, who wanted to say something to him.

Liu Shiyuan was furious when he heard that he had been demoted, but he also knew that this was the best result so far. It's just that I'm still a little unwilling in my heart, I almost used my life to get the name of this general, but I didn't expect it to be gone so easily.

What Liu Shiyuan didn't think about was that there were not a few people in the DPRK who had the same record as him, why he was the only one who sat in the position of general. This is more because he is Li Yiqian's maternal uncle and the current queen mother's brother.

Different from the depression of the two of them, Li Yiqian was very satisfied with today's results. He knew that it was impossible to pull down Liu Shiyuan with just these things, so his target today was Dali Siqing.

For such a lack of real power but being occupied by a person who does nothing, Li Yiqian has long wanted to solve him, but there has been no good reason. Li Yiqian's matter in Dali Siqing has long been investigated, so today's punishment of him is also sincere, after all, he is also a filial son.
