Chapter 633 - Noncommittal
Although Emperor Zhengde said that he asked Li Lin not to be alarmist, how did he know that what Li Lin was going to say was not as simple as being alarmist? It's an earth-shattering attack!
"Your Majesty, it is indeed a major event that can endanger the society of the country! Humble officials will never dare to speak falsely! Li Lin explained sincerely.
Zhengde snorted: "Then you should tell me, what is it that can endanger my country?" ”
Li Lin listened to it and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Admiral Jinyiwei, Shenji Battalion, and Zhang Zhijie of the 3,000 Battalion have rebelled and taken refuge in King Ning!" ”
As soon as Li Lin's voice fell, the hall suddenly became very quiet, not quiet, but silent, the silence that could be heard when a pin dropped! Emperor Zhengde still kept frowning, as if he hadn't reacted yet!
On the side, the eunuchs at this time all opened their mouths one by one, their eyes were very blank, and they were a little sluggish, wondering if they were deaf!
Zhang Zhijie took refuge in King Ning? The person who said this is crazy, right? It must be crazy, otherwise how could you think that Zhang Zhijie would take refuge in King Ning?
Not to mention how good the relationship between Zhang Zhijie and Emperor Zhengde is, Zhang Zhijie is the nephew of the Queen Mother, he became an official to the admiral at a young age, and the title of Marquis of Shouning is even more hereditary, and now he has won a big victory, that is, he is young now, and he will be able to enter the country in the future! How could such a person take refuge in King Ning? Or take refuge in a King Ning who has just lost a battle and is about to perish?
Either Zhang Zhijie is crazy, or the person who said this is crazy! Zhang Zhijie has just led his troops to win the battle, it can't be that he is crazy, that is, the person in front of him is crazy!
Emperor Zhengde finally reacted, and felt very incredible, not to mention that he and Zhang Zhijie got along very well and had a close relationship, Zhang Zhijie didn't know how many times he had helped him and saved him over the years, and he trusted Zhang Zhijie as always, how could Zhang Zhijie betray him?
Emperor Zhengde was a little speechless, shook his head and said, "What did you say?" Zhang Zhijie betrayed me and took refuge in King Ning? Are you crazy? ”
"Your Majesty, you are not crazy in your humble position! I know it's a bit unbelievable, but it's true! Humility is not empty words, but there is conclusive evidence! Li Lin looked loyal and sincere!
"You don't have to say it! Zhang Zhijie will not betray me, I believe in him! Emperor Zhengde waved his hand in disgust.
"Your Majesty, since the emperor believes in him so much, what's the harm in listening to the evidence of his humble position?" Li Lin heard that Emperor Zhengde didn't even want to listen, so he was directly anxious, it didn't matter if he couldn't fulfill the entrustment of thousands of adults, if he lost his life because of this, it would not be good!
After all, the emperor's face looked very bad, and he looked at him with a disgusted gaze, although he had always known that Zhang Zhijie was deeply favored by the emperor, but he didn't expect to be so favored.
Listening to Li Lin's agitation, Emperor Zhengde sneered indifferently: "You say, what evidence can I tell you?" ”
"On that day, during the battle of Qiaoshe, the prince once sent people to persuade the two armies to surrender, if Zhang Zhijie served King Ning, King Ning was willing to make him a prince and share the world with him! At that time, Zhang Zhijie should have been moved, and the two armies were silent for a long time before starting the war! ”
Although the two armies still fought in the end, Zhang Zhijie's men were obviously merciful! Zhang Zhijie once quelled the rebellion in Bazhou, when the army of Liu Liu and Liu Qi was much stronger than the army of King Ning, and Zhang Zhijie led the army to fight effortlessly! ”
"But in the battle of Qiaoshe, Zhang Zhijie fought very hard, obviously keeping his hands, and did not want to cause big casualties to King Ning's army! Moreover, in the end, after King Ning's army retreated, Zhang Zhijie only sent a cavalry battalion to pursue, and did not lead the army to pursue at all! ”
"Let's ask, if Zhang Zhijie wasn't tempted by King Ning's reward, how could he miss the opportunity to pursue King Ning's army in vain? Moreover, although Zhang Zhijie sent cavalry to pursue, he repeatedly asked the cavalry to save his own strength first, in fact, in order to release King Ning's army! ”
Although Li Lin said the matter quickly and urgently, Emperor Zhengde did not believe it, although Li Lin's words sounded very reasonable, but the situation on the battlefield was changing, although some decisions seemed inappropriate afterwards, but according to the situation at that time, it was like that!
So there is a reason why Emperor Zhengde believes that Zhang Zhijie did not lead the army in pursuit! It's not what Li Lin said at all!
Seeing that Emperor Zhengde didn't have a look of disbelief on his face at all, Li Lin felt a pang in his heart, it seemed that he still needed to add materials! Li Lin then explained sincerely: "Your Majesty, what you said is true, if there is a lie, if the sky thunders, if the emperor does not believe it, you can send someone to verify!" So many people have seen what happened on the battlefield, and they can't hide it from anyone at all, as long as the emperor wants to investigate, he will know it when he checks it! ”
It seems that King Ning did surrender in front of the battle, and Li Lin should not lie about this kind of thing that can be found out at a check, but if you want to say that Zhang Zhijie really took refuge in King Ning, then Emperor Zhengde really doesn't believe it!
Even if King Ning threw out the bait like the prince, Zhang Zhijie would not betray him! Emperor Zhengde firmly believes in this!
When Li Lin said this, he secretly glanced at Emperor Zhengde, and saw that Emperor Zhengde did not have any anger, let alone a suspicious look, obviously his words did not succeed!
Could it be that the divisive plan of the Thousand Households has failed like this? If the discord plan fails, will Emperor Zhengde directly click on himself? It's absolutely possible, thinking of this, Li Lin couldn't help but shudder!
No, you can't just give up, I have to say that Li Lin is indeed a clever person, and he can still think about it with a deep heart at such a moment.
Li Lin continued: "Your Majesty, it's more than that! After the Battle of Qiaoshe, both armies did not move, but Zhou Qianhu found that King Ning often received and sent messengers! Once King Ning said that he missed his mouth, he said, there is no need for a large army to go out at all, and you will be able to return to Nanchang City openly after a few ****, and your own army will recapture Nanchang City, capture alive, capture alive, Your Majesty! ”
These things are purely Li Lin's fabrication, but Li Lin can say that he is very serious! As if even he felt that what he said was true, his expression was not fake at all: "Your Majesty, although King Ning didn't say who it was at that time, but in connection with the cause and effect, Zhou Qianhu speculated that it was probably Zhang Zhijie who took refuge in King Ning!" Your Majesty, you must be guarded against, Zhou Qianhu is really brave and loyal, so he risked his life to send a humble post to tell the emperor! ”
Although Li Lin's appearance doesn't look like a fake, Emperor Zhengde still looks noncommittal!
