Wang Yuan looked at Xuanzong, who was silent after listening to Fang Xuan's words, and said, "Your Majesty, you have heard it, Fang Xuan himself admitted that he had misappropriated the army's food and salary. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's just that I don't know that this matter involves King Shou, Your Majesty, how do you deal with it. ”

Xuanzong frowned, thinking in his heart: If this matter is Li Mao's idea, how can it be good? Looking at Wang Yuan's posture, he is obviously unwilling to give up, he must give him an explanation, is it possible to kill Li Mao for this matter?

But the matter has come to this point, and if you don't understand it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end the game. Thinking of this, Xuanzong said in a deep voice: "Wang Yuan, this matter is very important, even if you don't pursue it, I will definitely not tolerate it." Fang Xuan said that the military rations were misappropriated to Li Mao to recruit troops, and it was not appropriate to rely on his words alone, so let's announce that Li Mao met him and let the two of them confront him, and the truth will come out. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Very good, the minister also wants to hear how the two of them explain this matter." ”

Xuanzong immediately ordered someone to Xuan Li Mao to come to the Sanhua Building to meet him, and at the same time, the two inner servants were ordered to jump into the moon-viewing pool and pull up Fang Xuan, who was fluttering in the water. That Fang Xuan drank a stomach of water, and he was already dizzy. The attendants were put face down on the rockery, moaning and spitting water out of their mouths, making the side of the flower bed a mess.

Not long after, Li Mao hurried over, his face was very nervous, and on the way he had already heard the waiter talk about the situation in the Sanhua Building. Li Mao was both angry and afraid, angry that this Wang Yuan was simply bold enough to commit murder in the Sanhualou in front of his father, this kind of behavior was already a rebellious act. And what I'm afraid of is that since Wang Yuan dares to do this, I am afraid that this time the matter will be difficult to be good, after all, he concealed that his father followed Fang Xuan's advice and used the grain and grass of the army, which is not easy to explain.

Entering the garden of the Scattered Flower Building, Li Mao saw Xuanzong sitting in the corridor with a pale face, and next to him, Wang Yuan, who was fully armed, was standing aside with his sword hilt in his hand and looking at him coldly, and that gaze made Li Mao shudder. Under the corridor, Fang Xuan, who was lying on the rockery, was sighing, and there were water stains under the stones, and he was also soaked and embarrassed.

"Son-in-law, see father." Li Mao tried his best to maintain the peace in his heart, and came to the corridor to salute Xuanzong.

"Li Mao, you did a good thing!" Xuanzong shouted coldly.

Li Mao hurriedly said: "Father, I don't know what the sons and daughters have done wrong?" ”

Xuanzong said angrily: "You still dare to ask this sentence, you are bold and arrogant, and you teamed up with Fang Xuan to embezzle the military rations of the counterinsurgency Shence army, resulting in a shortage of food for the counterinsurgency army, and you have to be trapped in Jinzhou City, you ...... You've disappointed me. ”

Li Mao hurriedly knelt down again and said: "Father, the son didn't do such a thing, the son was wronged, please ask the father to know the truth." ”

"Wronged? Fang Xuan has confessed, you still deny it! Xuanzong shouted.

Li Mao took a breath and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what Fang Xuan said?" Can you ask Fang Xiangguo? ”

"It's just for you two to confront each other." Xuanzong shouted.

After bowing, Li Mao got up and walked to Fang Xuan, who was lying on the stone gasping, and asked in a deep voice, "Fang Xiangguo." ”

Fang Xuan regained his senses, reluctantly supported himself, and gasped: "See...... Ever seen...... His Royal Highness King Shou. ”

Li Mao frowned and looked at him and said, "I don't know how Xiangguo told his father about the money and food for recruiting soldiers." Is the money and food I used to recruit soldiers really for the counterinsurgency army? ”

Fang Xuan looked at Li Mao speechlessly, and said in his heart: "How do you tell me to answer, aren't you clear about this matter?" But they came to ask me. ”

But the matter has come to this point, and it has been explained just now, so there is no need to hide it. So he said in a dumb voice: "Indeed...... Indeed, it is the money and food used by the great army. ”

Li Mao's face changed color, and he stomped his feet and said, "Xiangguo, you can kill people." How can you use the money, food, and supplies of the counterinsurgency army to recruit troops for me? I remember telling you that the money, food, and materials I use must not hinder the use of the army and the court, and the rest can be given to me. If I don't have enough money and food, I can call on all the princes, princesses, princes and ministers to raise money and money to buy them. The fundraising effect on that day was remarkable, and 50,000 yuan was raised on the same day, which can buy a lot of food. But you told me that the court has more than enough money and food, so there is no need to be so troublesome. Who would have thought that you would actually use the money and food of the army, aren't you cheating on me? ”

Fang Xuan was stunned for a moment, how could he ever tell him anything about more than enough money and food? When Li Mao said this, he put all the responsibility on his head. This means that he was kept in the dark, did not know the truth, and was an unintentional fault that he had been blinded by.

Fang Xuan wanted to refute at that time, but after thinking about it again, if he tore up with Li Mao at this moment, it would be even more disadvantageous to the matter, it would be better to follow Li Mao's words, maybe Li Mao would think of a way to excuse himself.

"Your Royal Highness King Shou, everything is my fault, I shouldn't hide it from you. It's none of your business, it's all my fault. Fang Xuan gave up his hand and regretted it.

Xuanzong's face was obviously much more relaxed, it seemed that he had little to do with Li Mao at this time, and Li Mao didn't know the inside story.

"Wang Yuan, you heard it, at this time, it turned out that He Shou Wang had nothing to do, and he didn't know the inside story, but he just made an unintentional mistake." Xuanzong said softly.

Wang Yuan sneered in his heart, Li Mao would not know? That's impossible. I'm afraid I know the inside story but I'm just pretending to be confused here. Poor Fang Xuan, a stupid man, is still covering up for Li Mao, but he doesn't know that he has been sold by Li Mao. But today, Wang Yuan came to Fang Xuan, and he didn't want Xuanzong to deal with Li Mao, because Wang Yuan didn't want to make things out of control, all he wanted to do was to kill chickens and monkeys, so that the court could understand the fate of the troublemakers behind him. Therefore, Wang Yuan did not refute Xuanzong's words.

"Your Majesty, since this matter has nothing to do with King Shou, it is Fang Xuan's responsibility, so it is good to only hold Fang Xuan responsible." Wang Yuandao.

Xuanzong nodded and said, "We must be investigated." Coming back, Xuanzong said loudly: "Fang Xuan, you are so bold, since you know that it is the military rations of the army, how dare you embezzle it to recruit troops for King Shou without permission?" What the hell do you think? Do you want my counterinsurgency army to be wiped out? What are your intentions? ”

Fang Xuan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted: "Your Majesty is angry, the old minister's loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen day by day, how can he delay the rebellion at this time." Lao Chen did this for a reason. Marshal Wang, as far as the old minister knows, you have hoarded a lot of grain and grass materials in Chengdu in recent years, why don't you take them out and use them when this national crisis occurs? The court is short of money and food, you should think about the court, instead of hiding money, food and materials, but using the materials of the court. The reason why I did this was because I was not angry about this, I wanted to force Marshal Wang to take out the hoarded grain and grass to supply the soldiers and horses, and share the worries of the imperial court. ”

Now that the matter has come to this point, Fang Xuan also plans to let it go, so he simply tore his face with Wang Yuan and spread the matter out. He believed that His Majesty and King Shou would speak for him, and today he simply unveiled Wang Yuan's face, and it was a hundred.

It was the second time that Xuanzong had heard someone say that Wang Yuan had hoarded grain and grass materials, the last time it was Li Mao, and at that time Xuanzong also reprimanded him a few words, saying that he was nosy and should not speculate about Yunyun. And now that Fang Xuan said this again, Xuanzong couldn't help but be puzzled. If Wang Yuan really hoarded a large amount of supplies, grain and grass but did not take them out for the imperial court, then Wang Yuan's approach would make people angry.

Facing Xuanzong's puzzled gaze, Wang Yuan's face was calm. In fact, he was quite shocked in his heart. Fang Xuan said this, which shows that he has long been targeted by Fang Xuan. The matter of hoarding grain and grass by oneself is only known to those around him and those who handle it. If it weren't for Fang Xuan's ability to investigate, it would have been impossible to know. Either someone close to you has revealed the news, which is also possible.

"Fang Xiangguo, you said that I hoarded a large amount of grain and grass materials, is there any evidence? Tell me, where and where have I stockpiled food and forage? Wang Yuan planned to test Fang Xuan's tone and see how much Fang Xuan knew about himself.

Fang Xuan straightened his chest and said: "Of course there is evidence, your Jiannan Jiedu has hoarded a large amount of food and materials in the Jiannan Dao Treasury in the back street of the Yamen, I have long known about this matter, do you dare to deny it?" ”

When Wang Yuan heard this, he immediately relieved his heart. There was indeed grain and grass stored in the treasury in the back street of Yamen, but it did not belong to any of his twenty grain warehouses, and that was only because after the twenty warehouses were full, the surplus grain of nearly 200,000 stone had nowhere to be stored, so Wang Yuan ordered it to be stored in the public warehouse of Jiannan Road. Because it is a public warehouse, many people know the grain in the warehouse, and it seems that Fang Xuan doesn't know how much grain he has stored at all, but only knows that there is grain in the public warehouse.

"There is still half a warehouse of grain in that warehouse, and I heard that you ordered that no one should use it. The imperial court is now extremely short of money and grain, but you don't let people move the grain in the warehouse, I can't look past it, so I made this decision to force you to use your own grain and grass. Besides, King Shou's recruitment of counterinsurgency soldiers and horses is also to quell the rebellion, so why not use food for recruitment? Could it be that the imperial court doesn't even have the right to dictate itself in the dispatch of money and grain, so it has to listen to you? Fang Xuan actually began to be righteous and strict.

Xuanzong and Li Mao both looked at Wang Yuan, and the eyes of both father and son were meaningful. To be honest, deep in his heart, Xuanzong was happy to see Wang Yuan deflated. Especially now, Xuanzong would like to hear how Wang Yuan explains this matter. Thinking about the way Wang Yuan lifted his sword to kill people just now, Xuanzong's heart was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, even if he couldn't pursue the matter at this time, Xuanzong also planned to take the opportunity to knock Wang Yuan and give him some color.
