The strange thought flashed away, and Lu Jin's face became more serious: "Lord Yu, this is a felony of collaborating with the enemy, once convicted, then Ji Langzhong will be killed!" Moreover, this is obviously Jinyiwei, no, it is a conspiracy by Wang Zhen against our military department, can we only watch him die unjustly? ”

"I know that many people in the capital know that this is a method used by Wang Zhen to frame Ji Langzhong, and he also knows that we can see through it at a glance." Yu Qian gave such an answer without evasion.

Lu Zhen was stunned again, since this was the case, why did he make such a decision to give up rescuing his colleagues. Could it be that Yu Qian and Ji Bin have any holidays? Can he have the temperament, it is impossible to do such a down-the-earth thing, or is there another purpose?

Yu Qian was silent for a while, and then continued: "And it's not just me, it's also Kuang Shangshu's meaning. ”

"What? Even Kuang Shangshu plans to give up Ji Langzhong? Lu Zhen was almost about to jump up from his chair, and he really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourds of these adults.

"Don't you understand? Because all this is a trap, once we exonerate Ji Langzhong, it will be like falling into Wang Zhen's calculations! It was only at this time that Yu Qian revealed the truth, but this made Lu Zhen more and more puzzled: "My lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

At this time, Yu Qian's eyes revealed a different kind of smile, he finally understood that although the young man in front of him had talent and ideas, he was still young in the DPRK after all, and he couldn't completely see through some hidden means. However, this did not make Yu Qian look down on Lu Jin, but made him feel that Lu Zhen was a person with a pure heart, and he had a good impression of him.

Thinking about this, Yu Qian patiently explained: "Think about it, if our military department or the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty all shout grievances for Ji Langzhong, what will happen next?" ”

"With Your Majesty's wisdom, you will definitely not just listen to Jinyiwei's words, so you will send other officials to find out the truth of this matter." Lu Zhen did not hesitate to express his thoughts.

Yu Qian nodded: "Yes, then in your opinion, who will Your Majesty let to investigate?" He didn't let Lu Zhen answer this question, but asked himself: "It's nothing more than the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or the East Factory." But these three yamen are now under his Wang Zhen's control, do you know what that means? ”

"But even so, we can't do nothing. Even if there is little hope, you should speak up! Lu Zhen looked directly into Yu Qian's eyes and said.

Yu Qian's eyes once again showed appreciation, this young man's courage is indeed outstanding, and he is upright, even if he is close to himself, he is also telling the truth. In fact, he was a little wrong about Lu Jin, it was precisely because he thought he knew Yu Qian's personality that Lu Zhen dared to reply so directly, if other officials were changed, Lu Zhen would never have such a fierce and direct reaction today.

"If that's just the case, how can this official sit back and watch Ji Lang be wronged? But have you ever thought about what kind of deeper purpose they have in doing all this? Yu Qian's words stopped Lu Jin.

After suddenly learning that Ji Bin was accused of collaborating with the enemy, Lu Jin's heart was to excuse him, and then he got such an amazing reaction from Yu Qian, which confused his mind even more. As a result, he didn't even calm down and think about the problems behind this.

After Yu Qian asked, he was shocked, and a question jumped out of his mind: "Yes, why did he Wang Zhen do this?" Ji Langzhong's position is actually not critical, and he doesn't have much real power in the military department, even if he wants to replace his own people, he doesn't have to make things so obvious, right? What's more, there is one more me in the department now, if something happens to him, maybe they will take advantage of the situation to keep me in the position of Langzhong, then he will lose even more. What the hell is this? ”

With the question, the anxious state of mind just now has finally been greatly restrained, and his expression has become calm. After slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Lu Jincai arched his hand at Yu Qian: "Please also ask the adults to solve their doubts." ”

Yu Qian's expression was a little dignified at this time: "A small staff member is just a fourth-rank official, and it is not worth his father-in-law's effort and calculation at all." In fact, what he really wants to deal with is our entire military department, that is, Kuang Shangshu and me, the military department squire! ”

"This ......" Lu Jin's face also changed suddenly after hearing this sentence, and the casual question was quickly swallowed back by him, just waiting for the other party to give further answers.

In fact, since last year, Wang Zhen has been working on the idea of six ministries and military departments that have not yet been taken over by him. It was only because I was suddenly promoted by His Majesty to the rank of squire of the military department, which made him fearful, and at the same time, Hu Butang of the Ministry of Officials suddenly contracted illness and recuperated at home, that he chose to attack the Ministry of Officials first. Since he wanted to explain the cause and effect to Lu Jin, Yu Qian simply elaborated on the words and mentioned all the ins and outs.

And Lu Jin, at this moment, is like a Mengtong listening to his husband's lecture, listening attentively, and he doesn't even mean to interject. I only heard Yu Qian continue: "So since last winter, many officials in the Ministry have been framed and lost their official positions, and they are replaced by eunuchs who have already joined Wang Zhenmen's party.

It's just that they couldn't have imagined that Master Hu would suddenly return to the ministry after months of bed rest. Moreover, his old man's prestige has not diminished, and his methods are extremely clever, and after a few actions, he regained the control of the officials in his own hands, but it was Wang Zhen's subordinates, so they were all exposed, and the loss was not small. ”

Thinking that Hu Hu was lifting his weight in the ministry and resolving the crisis in front of him in an understatement, Lu Zhen couldn't help but be amazed and fascinated. The elders of the four dynasties are indeed comparable to ordinary officials, and their prestige and skill far exceed those of the same court.

Yu Qian's face did not have the slightest joy, but became more and more solemn: "It is precisely because they have taken any advantage in the Ministry of Officials that this time they will set the target on our military department." And this time, the means used are different.

"In the previous ministry, in order to control the entire yamen before Hu Butang could react, they acted extremely quickly, and once they pulled one official off the horse, they quickly supported another. This will certainly give them the upper hand for a while, but the consequences are also serious, and now the number of people who can be used by the officials is almost extinct. So this time, when they attacked our soldiers, they used more steady and ruthless methods. ”

Lu Zhen frowned slightly, although he also vaguely felt that there was another conspiracy behind Ji Bin's matter, but for a while, he really couldn't see through what their plans were.

However, his doubts did not last long, because Yu Qian quickly gave the answer: "What they want to see is that our military department and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty cry out for Ji Bin to intercede. In this way, the Son of Heaven will inevitably ask the relevant yamen to review the matter again, but with Wang Zhen's current power, he is enough to guide the Son of Heaven to use one of his people to investigate this case.

And in this way, he had a justifiable excuse to put his hand into the yamen of our military department. Investigate many officials, whether it is an outsider like you, or a Langzhong like me, or even Kuang Butang, it may be within the scope of their inquiry. ”

"How is this possible?" Lu Zhen finally couldn't help but say this.

Yu Qian didn't blame him for reacting like this, he just glanced at him and threw out a sentence: "Don't forget what crime Ji Langzhong was convicted of." Collaborating with the enemy, as well as leaking the map of the Northlands, this is an extremely serious crime. If things are as they say, and the map of the northern defense has been obtained by the spies, the Son of Heaven will be desperate to find out the truth. ”

Lu Zhen took another breath. Indeed, if the Son of Heaven really believed this statement, he would naturally want to find out and condemn the person who leaked the secret to death. Because this is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops in the north, as well as the safety of the entire defense line.

"And once they get the right to investigate this matter in our military department, they will go up to Kuang Butang, down to any scribe or even miscellaneous servant, and they will not be able to escape the fate of being convicted by him. With the methods used by the factory guards to concoct criminal evidence in the past, I am afraid that no one can escape. When Yu Qian said this, he sighed lightly: "So it's not that we don't want to save Ji Langzhong, but we really can't save him." This is completely a trap set by Wang Zhen and them, as long as we come forward, the result is doomed. ”

Lu Zhen was completely silent this time, and he couldn't imagine that there was such an insidious and complicated method behind this. Fortunately, Yu Qian and they are clear-headed enough, if they are strong because of momentary anger like themselves, I am afraid it will lead to even more terrible consequences.

Glancing at Lu Jin, Yu Qian taught earnestly: "Shansi, you have only recently entered the court, so I don't blame you for not knowing much about such ghost tricks." But this is the court struggle, no matter what happens, in this spiral nest, the first thing to do is to be calm, only if you are calm enough, can you perceive the truth under the surface. Also, sometimes, giving in is not a sign of weakness, but for the sake of a longer-term victory. Do you understand what I mean? ”

The expression on Lu Jin's face changed several times, and he finally stood up from his seat solemnly and gave Yu Qian a deep salute: "Xiaguan is carefully taught, I will not make any impulsive actions because of this matter." ”

Seeing him say this, Yu Qian finally showed a relieved smile. It's just that even Lord Yu didn't notice it, but at this time, Lu Jin's put down right hand had secretly clenched his fist.
