Not long after Ling Yu went back, Song Qian and the others hurried to the palace under the emperor's summons, and they were all a little sluggish, after all, they were all sleeping at this point in time, and of course they were not in good spirits when they were suddenly called.

And they didn't quite know what was going on, so after the ceremony, Zhou Zhengxiong asked several ministers to sit down and rest, and then asked Yucheng to tell them what had happened.

"It's simply lawless, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first good place dares to do such a thing." Song Qian was the first to jump to his feet angrily, of course he was talking about Zhao Bohan, after all, he had a good impression of Ling Yu.

"What Lord Song said is very true, but Lord Ling's private mobilization of the army, although it did not endanger the imperial court, but it did not conform to the law, and this matter may be punished by some punishment, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public." Zhai Qiande said, he is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he is still very sensitive to military affairs.

"Although this is the case, it is excusable, Zhao Bohan has done such a thing, it is already clear that he has no fear, and this wind is also not long." Lian Wei said that although he didn't agree with Ling Yu's approach, he still felt that Zhao Bohan was even more hateful.

"Three Aiqing, there will definitely be a fight tomorrow, Ling Yu should be punished, but we can't let those people succeed, we still need to discuss a charter for this matter today." Zhou Zhengxiong glanced at the three people.

The three of them glanced at each other, the emperor didn't show his meaning, and they didn't dare to say too much, after all, everyone knew the importance of Ling Yu, not to mention that Ling Yu was still the emperor's son-in-law.

"In this way, the minister thinks that a small punishment and a big admonition are enough, and Lord Ling has also made a lot of contributions to the country, making weapons and agricultural tools are all meritorious deeds that will benefit the society and benefit the future, so it is better to remove him from his official position as a military training envoy, temporarily stay in his original post and make meritorious contributions, and then punish him for one year as a punishment." Song Qian pondered for a moment and said carefully.

The emperor nodded slightly, did not say anything, and looked at the other two, as if he still wanted to hear their opinions.

"The minister roughly agrees with Song Ge Lao's handling method, but the minister thinks that the removal of official positions is unnecessary, the top priority of the new army's rectification and training, if it is disposed of in this way, Lord Ling will not be rightly speaking, but not beautiful." Zhai Qiande said that military affairs are indeed important at present.

"The minister's opinion is similar to that of the two adults, if he thinks it is not enough, he will be ordered to be grounded in the base of the Academy of Sciences for three months, and he will train his troops and reflect on his mistakes." Seeing that the emperor still didn't express his position, Lian Wei couldn't see his joy or anger, but he still echoed the two people's statements.

After the three of them finished reporting, they sat back on their chairs, picked up the tea on the maid just now, and took a sip, which is also a good habit of the Great Zhou, when the emperor and the courtiers are deliberating, they usually let the courtiers sit, and then stand up and say that they can sit if they have nothing to do, and there is also a supply of tea.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Zhou Zhengxiong also fell silent, obviously thinking about whether such a disposition could face the attack of those people tomorrow.

Obviously, this degree may not be enough, Zhou Zhengxiong can think that tomorrow a group of people led by Zhao Zhengkang will definitely hold on to this point, and may also involve the military attaché, after all, the relevant military affairs, if the emperor is determined, it is also possible to cause some military attachés to oppose it, although they will not say it on their faces, but there is a crack in their hearts, which Zhou Zhengxiong does not want to see.

At this time, Zhou Zhengxiong was also very conflicted, what kind of punishment should Ling Yu be given to be able to say the past, thinking of this, Zhou Zhengxiong looked at the three of them.

When the three of them saw Zhou Zhengxiong looking at them, they also adjusted their state and prepared to listen to the hadith.

"What the three of you said is very reasonable, there must be small punishments and big commandments, but Zhai Aiqing is right, the removal is not good, but the punishment and grounding are slightly insufficient, after all, the major affairs of the soldier country, according to me, it is better to demote his title to a viscount, what do you think Aiqing?" Zhou Zhengxiong said slowly.

Although the three of them all knew why the emperor did this, they thought of it, but they didn't dare to propose it directly, but at this time, the emperor himself proposed it, and they were relieved in their hearts.

"Your Majesty." The three of them bowed down and saluted together, and they thought it should be enough to deal with it like this, after all, Zhao Zhengkang's side was not without fault, and it was not impossible to pinch it if he really wanted to pinch it, just the crime of kidnapping the second lady of the Earl's Mansion by a person without official status could be pinched for a long time.

Zhou Zhengxiong and others are discussing how to deal with tomorrow, Zhao Zhengkang is also in the mansion and Qian Xunyan and other people of the Zhao family are also discussing how to deal with Ling Yu tomorrow, after the last battle, the people of the Zhao family have languished a lot, and now in addition to the two Shangshu, there are still some influential waiters, principals and imperial histories, this is still the reason why Zhao Zhengkang has a huge power in the Ministry of Officials, and the other departments have been slowly cleaned up by the emperor. It's just that it can't be used.

"Guys, what about tomorrow." Zhao Zhengkang sat on the main seat and looked at the crowd.

"Lord Zhao, the lower officials think that tomorrow they can just grasp Ling Yu's private transfer of troops." Wang Gan, the head of the Ministry of War, took the lead, because Zhao Jian, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, was arrested last time, the head of the Ministry of War was left, and he had no rights, at most he could get some less important news, and now he was also the most statusless existence in the Zhao family.

"Lord Zhao, the lower officials also have the same idea as Lord Wang, but we have to prevent Song Qian and others from attacking us with the actions of Prince Bohan." Huo Qizhong, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, said that he was a member of the Qian family.

"This matter can involve those warriors, those simple-minded goods can easily be trapped, after all, the number of privately transferred troops this time is not small, if the emperor deals with it unfairly, it will inevitably cause the disgust of those warriors, I don't think the emperor is willing to do such a thing." Qian Xunyan thought for a moment and said.

"Well, I think Brother Qian's statement is more prudent, let's take the matter of privately transferring troops, those martial artists, hehe, we may not have to take the initiative to trap them, maybe they will have some interesting reactions." Zhao Zhengkang stroked his beard and said with a smile, during this period of time, the new army's training was in full swing, the new army's various systems were different, and the military salary was still high. 7 Q

"In this case, let the lower officials impeach Ling Yu." Yu Shi Yun is uneven, he is also the first Yu Shi to take refuge after being contributed by the Zhao family's sugar-coated cannonballs.

"Well, in this case, it will be troublesome to Yunyu Shi tomorrow, but don't chase after it this time, remember to accept it when you see it." Zhao Zhengkang glanced at everyone and said.

Although everyone understood that Zhao Zhengkang was a compromise made in order not to let Zhao Bohan be attacked too much, Qian Xunyan thought that it was not that simple, although he didn't know what the reason was, but he still looked at Zhao Zhengkang deeply.

"That's it, it's late at night, and your colleagues will stay in the mansion for one night, so as not to be too tired, and you need to recharge your energy tomorrow." Zhao Zhengkang said with a smile.

Everyone got up and said goodbye, and the people waited outside, taking everyone to the guest room to rest one by one, Qian Xunyan thought about it and prepared to leave, and heard Zhao Zhengkang say: "Brother Qian stays, I still have some things to discuss with Brother Qian." ”

The others just glanced at it, then ignored it and dispersed, while Qian Xunyan walked back to his seat and sat down, sipping half-warm tea, waiting for Zhao Zhengkang's next words.

After everyone left, the room fell silent, and the subordinates closed the door again, and Zhao Zhengkang said slowly: "Brother Qian, I'm afraid I don't understand what I said at the end." ”

"There are some conjectures, but I can't count them, I think it makes sense for Brother Zhao to act like this." Qian Xunyan said unhurriedly.

"Although Bohan acted Meng Lang this time, his plan was not thorough enough, but he let that kid run away, but it was not for nothing, he sent someone to report it, saying that he got the design drawings of the psionic rifle from Ling Yu, which is the biggest gain this time." Zhao Zhengkang smiled, looking very proud.

"Oh? So we can make that kind of killer weapon too? As soon as Qian Xunyan heard this, he became interested, and his heart was also excited, and his heart added a lot of chances of winning.

"Well, it should be okay, and then Brother Lao Qian and our Zhao family will work together to build a rifle armed army as soon as possible, and then train it, presumably there will be no fear of the Beijing army of the imperial court at that time." Zhao Zhengkang said smugly, although he hated Ling Yu very much, he still admired Ling Yu's talent very much, if it wasn't for his hostile position, he still admired this young man very much.

"There is no problem in this matter, our two families have always been firm allies, and my Qian family promises that the chain will not fall off in this matter." Qian Xunyan was also happy in his heart at this time, what could be better than enhancing his grasp.

"Well, but Brother Qian, this matter can only be reported to the head of the family at most, and no one else must know about it." Zhao Zhengkang said solemnly.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I can save this matter." Qian Xunyan assured solemnly.

After saying what should be said, the two saw that it was getting late, so they didn't talk anymore, Zhao Zhengkang ordered someone to send Qian Xunyan to the guest room to rest, and he went back to the room just now, only to see Zhao Da flash out of the darkness.

"My lord, the young master is already on his way back to Beiping, and I told the little one to report to the lord that he must find a way to ensure that he can get the design back safely." Zhao Da said respectfully.

"This matter has its own arrangement, you don't need to worry, you have done a bit of Meng Lang this time, you shouldn't have done such a thing at this time, but if you can get back such an important thing, you will offset the merits." Zhao Zhengkang said lightly.

"Yes, thank you for your forgiveness." Zhao Da still said respectfully.

After Lu Antang escorted everyone to escape, Zhao Bohan sent Zhao Da to take Wang Bin to sneak back to Jinling Zhao Mansion, after all, Wang Bin was seriously injured and it was not suitable to travel far, so by the way, Zhao Da also reported the matter to Zhao Zhengkang.

Today's events happened outside the city, and in order not to make things bigger, the emperor did not order the city gate to be blocked, so they came back very smoothly.

It's just that Zhao Da was also uneasy because of the failure of the mission just now, afraid that Zhao Zhengkang would punish him severely, at this time Zhao Zhengkang said this, he was also relieved in his heart, but he was a little disappointed in Zhao Bohan, he worked hard for the Zhao family but in Zhao Bohan's eyes was not as important as Wang Bin, he should have followed back to Beiping Mansion, but for the seriously injured Wang Bin had to take the risk of sneaking back to Jinling, after all, he didn't need to come back in person for such a trivial matter as sending news.

Soon, Zhao Zhengkang ordered him to go down to rest, it was late at night, and Zhao Zhengkang also planned to rest for a while, recuperate, and prepare for tomorrow's court fight.

There are a lot of people who can't sleep today, Zhou Zhengxiong is like this, Zhao Zhengkang is like this, Ling Yu is also like this, after returning to the base, Ling Yu didn't dare to go to his barracks, because Xinyue was resting there, he was afraid that he would turn into a wolf if he couldn't bear it, after all, he was also a man with strong blood.

So, I had to run to squeeze with Li Shu, Li Shu was very happy, the two of them hadn't been crowded together like this for a long time, but Li Shu was tired all night and fell asleep soon, but Ling Yu's mind was spinning all the time, sometimes thinking about Zhou Zhengxiong's tips for him, and sometimes thinking about the situation that might be encountered tomorrow.

After a long time, Ling Yu slowly fell asleep.
