Since it was the Son of Heaven who asked, Lu Zhen didn't care about him anymore, he bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, in fact, in these two good news, the ministers and others have clearly written the crimes of the Duoyan Department, and they have a disobedient heart to me in the morning, and even want to take advantage of the opportunity of the Wara army to attack my Jizhou. The minister also ordered the defenders of Jizhou to attack him in order to prevent this trouble. ”

"Wei Chengbo, what you said is not true." As soon as his voice fell, Zhou Ting, who had been blocked by several soldiers before, finally opened his mouth: "As far as I know, that Yan has always been deferential to my Daming, and this time they just came to help and support, and they also used troops against it." Your Majesty, the minister thought that if it weren't for the timely appearance of the Duoyan Department to contain the Warat army, and at the same time take the initiative to send troops to help at the critical moment, the combat strength of the Jizhou defenders would not have been able to achieve such a big victory.

"It's just that what I didn't expect was that after the battle, the defenders of Jizhou suddenly turned against each other and attacked Duoyan, which made them almost annihilated. As for the reason, I'm afraid it's because some people want to covet all this credit! In the end, he also glanced at Lu Zhen pointedly, and his meaning was self-evident.

As soon as this inference came out, the faces of all the officials present changed again, although this statement sounds a little unreasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it is very logical, for the sake of such a great achievement, anyone can do such an inhumane thing. Many people have even begun to whisper about it, feeling that this matter is reliable.

Du Zhong and the others were trembling with anger, and they wanted to refute again. But compared to those two officials, Zhou Ting's status as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites is much higher, even if they don't dare to refute it directly.

Seeing that even the emperor's expression had changed, and he seemed to have to accept this inference, Lu Zhen snorted coldly at the moment: "It's really nonsense." Zhou Shilang, you are trying to add to the crime, why do you want to add it, so you are not afraid of chilling the hearts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border pass? If it weren't for them who have been guarding the frontier for many years regardless of casualties to defend against foreign enemies, how could there be today's prosperous Ming Dynasty? Not to mention making you talk about it here! ”

"You...... Wei Chengbo, this official is just reasoning, why are you so weak-minded? Zhou Ting's reaction was really fast, and he quickly found a new breakthrough.

"Lu Qing, do you have anything to say about this?" The Emperor asked again.

"Your Majesty, what he said is just speculation, and there is no evidence at all. Although it was true that the face had fought against the Warats, it was a choice made out of desperation and after seeing that our army had been completely victorious, and it was not a credit at all.

"And what Your Majesty and the adults don't know is that after that Yan Bu arrived at the city of Jizhou, he didn't have any intention of using troops against Warat, but waited for the price to sell, wanting to get enough benefits from my Daming and Warat people. At that time, the minister was forced to negotiate with his camp in person, and even gave them a lot of money, food and soldiers...... "Speaking of which, Lu Jin no longer concealed those details, and told the truth about what happened in Jizhou that day.

After saying this long paragraph, everyone present frowned.

If Duoyanbu really made such a robbery-like move, it could indeed be regarded as the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

But at this time, Zhou Ting opened his mouth again: "Wei Chengbo, you said that what the official said has no substantiation, but what you are saying now is also without conclusive evidence?" The testimony of the defenders of Jizhou is naturally inaccurate, and the leader of the Duoyan Department has already been killed by you, so naturally you are allowed to impose the crime on them. ”

At this time, Lu Zhen really didn't know how to refute it, so he could only stare at the other party coldly, and keep this sinister guy in his heart.

Although he knew that the ministers would have a lot of criticism about this matter, and he was prepared for this, he still didn't expect the other party to come to this point. He is trying to completely reverse black and white in order to curb the merits of the generals.

What made Lu Zhen even more angry was that he really couldn't find a rebuttal for a while. Because no matter what you say, as long as the other party catches it for your own credit, the words you put forward are not credible, and you can easily oppose it. It seems that the only way is to reveal the last face of Duoyan.

Just when Lu Zhen made this decision, the Son of Heaven above suddenly spoke again: "I think what Lu Qing said is true. ”

"Your Majesty......" Zhou Ting really didn't expect the emperor to suddenly pull the shelf, and he suddenly became a little nervous. In fact, not only him, but also those other courtiers also showed different colors, didn't it mean that the relationship between the emperor and Lu Zhen was no longer as close as it was a few years ago?

I saw Zhu Qiyu take a look at Lu Zhen and said, "I got a secret report from Dongchang earlier, saying that Jizhou City had sent food, soldiers and other materials to the Duoyan Department. At that time, it was quite difficult for me to understand this, but now it seems that this should be Lu Qing's plan to attack them. ”

"Your Majesty, it is true. The reason why our army was able to break the face at a very small cost was by taking advantage of their greed. Lu Zhen immediately told him about the fact that he had used his tricks to make Diespeeda and others enter the city, and he had used the food mixed with drugs to fascinate the people of Duoyan.

Originally, he didn't plan to break this method because it hindered the demeanor of the Ming Dynasty, but since things have come to this point, he will no longer make reservations.

When he said this, everyone was dumbfounded. At this moment, the last doubt in everyone's hearts has also been answered. Originally, they were still speculating how the Jizhou army could completely defeat the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Duoyan Department at such a small cost, but it turned out that they used such an insidious method.

This made Zhou Ting and others, who were still prepared and planned to come forward to question, also lose their words for a while. And among them, if you want to say who is the most aggrieved, it must be Wang Yue who stands by the side of the Son of Heaven.

Because what the emperor said was in the past. Originally, he planned to use this to let the Son of Heaven cure Lu Jin's crimes. But the result became the key to helping Lu Jin, which really made him a little unacceptable.

"In this way, Wei Chengbo, you already have a comprehensive plan, and you want to take this opportunity to wipe out the Duoyan Division?" After Zhou Ting settled down, he asked again.

This time, Lu Zhen behaved very calmly: "Yes, I have indeed been prepared for this. Actually, as early as a few years ago, I had the intention of asking the imperial court to destroy the Duoyan Ministry. He knew it was time to answer everything

It's time for the case to be revealed.

"Why do you say that?" The Emperor asked a little strangely.

"Your Majesty, in fact, a few years ago, Jin Yiwei had already found out about a secret thing more than ten years ago." Lu Zhen said, his eyes swept over the people present again: "It turns out that during the first battle of Tumubao in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, one of the defeated troops of our imperial court fled to the station of the Duoyan Department. They originally planned to get assistance from the clan, so that they could return to Daming safely, but in the end, because the people in the Duoyan tribe were happy to hunt, they actually killed them, not only killed all these soldiers who were lucky to escape, but also took away all the weapons and armor on their bodies. ”

"What?"

"Is that true?"

The monarchs and ministers present all changed color when they heard this, but many people already believed it in their hearts. After all, if it's not my race, its heart will be different, and it makes sense for a vassal like the Duoyan to do such a thing behind his back.

Lu Zhen nodded, and then took out another document: "This is the truth that this Jinyiwei found out after several years of careful investigation. There are not only the confessions of some insiders, but also the exact location where they buried my Ming soldiers. As long as the imperial court sends someone to investigate, it will be able to know the truth. ”

With such ironclad evidence in front of everyone, even Zhou Ting and others could no longer refute it. And Lu Zhen took the opportunity to say: "It is precisely because they got the benefit at the beginning, this time after knowing that the Warat people used troops against my Jizhou, they will repeat their old tricks, and even come even more vigorously." The minister just saw the opportunity to get rid of this big trouble for the court. If His Majesty thinks that what the minister did is indeed inappropriate, the minister is willing to bear all the responsibility, but the soldiers of Jizhou City are innocent. They have merit and fault! At this point, he fell to the ground in solemn respect.

Du Zhong and the others didn't hesitate too much, and immediately followed and fell down: "Your Majesty, we are willing to share the crime with Wei Chengbo!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Duoyan Department is capricious, and it is not a pity to kill my Ming soldiers, and Wei Chengbo and Jizhou soldiers have no merit in killing them."

"Your Majesty, I think those who attacked Wei Chengbo are suspicious, maybe some Tartars sent my Ming spies." ……

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the military attachés and nobles who had not yet said anything also began to attack the civilian officials, and they really picked the right time, so that the ministers did not know how to defend themselves.

Even the emperor patted the armrest of the throne after his face changed for a while and said: "What Qing and the others said is very true, such white-eyed wolves at both ends of the head rat, I really shouldn't leave them. Lu Qing, you are meritorious, and the soldiers of Jizhou are also meritorious...... Hurry up! ”

In the end, the emperor was a little embarrassed, after all, Lu Zhen had made a great contribution to the court this time that had not been done for decades, and now he was almost wronged, he couldn't help but compensate for it, and immediately said: "You have made great achievements for the court this time, I am very relieved, so let's do it, I will now make you the Marquis of Weicheng, and there are 3,000 households!" ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers were silent. No one could have imagined that Lu Jin, who was originally going to be impeached, was directly promoted from Wei Chengbo to Marquis by the Son of Heaven in a blink of an eye, which can really be regarded as an unexpected result......
