Chapter 55: The old comrades are still reliable!

However, Li Ji is not easy to deal with, and before Li Zhi could react, Li Ji said loudly to Li Yifu.

"The old minister is about to talk about these eight bull crossbows!"

"Your Majesty, the control of weapons in this military department has always been strict, and the Eight Bull Crossbow is the top priority, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only returned to Beijing for two months, and the Sixth Rate of the East Palace has only been more than a month since the transfer of troops, in such a short time, how can such a large number of weapons be collected, and even the Eight Bull Crossbow has been obtained, is it possible that the entire military department is working in vain?"

The old man ignored the government for many years, but once he spoke aggressively, he directly looked at the military department secretary who knelt on the ground.

Today's secretary of the military department is Yao Chong, a smart man, who knelt silently on the ground since Wei Chi Baoqi played, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with the military department anyway, and it was a crime of dereliction of duty at the lightest.

Seeing that Li Ji talked about the military department, Yao Chong straightened up and said to Li Zhi respectfully.

"Your Majesty, all the weapons of the Ministry of War are registered, because a month ago General Pei went west, the minister just conducted an inventory of the weapons of the Ministry of War, so the minister promises that within two months, there will never be any eight-bull crossbow from the Ministry of War, and such a large number of weapons have never been lost, and now such a large number of weapons have openly appeared here, threatening the safety of the holy driver, the responsibility of the Ministry of War is unshirkable, and the minister asks His Majesty to surrender!"

After saying that, Yao Chong calmly took off the official hat on his head, put it on the ground, and stopped talking.

Although the situation is tense now, Li Hong still can't help but shout in his heart for Yao Chong's performance, if Yao Chong is submissive or shirks the blame, it will only make Li Zhi more angry, but he bows his head generously and admits his mistakes, so that he can escape.

Li Zhi is not a faint king, he naturally knows that the military department is just dereliction of duty, and the punishment will not be too severe, at most it will be a demotion.

"Forget it, Yao Qing, you get up first, I know that this matter has nothing to do with you."

Sure enough, looking at Yao Chong who was kneeling on the ground, Li Zhi's face was slightly good-looking, and he said in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, the old minister has to ask, such a large number of weapons, since it is not a direct outflow from the military department, then it must be a person with ill intentions who have accumulated years to have such a huge number of weapons, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been planning to do wrong many years ago?"

Li Ji arched his hand at Li Zhi and said in a deep voice.

"Master Li said with a smile, Hong'er is benevolent and filial, how could he do such a rebellious thing, there must be a villain who intends to frame Hong'er with this matter today, I have my own measure."

Hearing Li Ji's words, a smile appeared on Li Zhi's face.

If Li Hong has long had the intention of rebellion, Li Zhi does not believe it in any case, not to mention that Li Hong has been weak and sick all these years, and he is busy with government affairs all day long, without this time and energy, it can be seen that Li Hong's attitude towards military affairs over the years can be seen, he used to have the intention to let Li Hong be familiar with military affairs, but Li Hong likes literature and hates martial arts, and rarely does not follow Li Zhi's intentions, and at that time Li Zhi couldn't cry or laugh.

It's just that Li Hong has suddenly changed his attitude towards the army in the past few months, which has made Li Zhi a little suspicious in his heart, and now Li Zhi has also reacted, with Li Hong's benevolence and filial piety, how could he do this, even if he has this mind, how can he get such a large number of weapons in such a short period of time, someone must have framed Li Hong.

Li Hong quietly breathed a sigh of relief, since Li Zhi had already defined this matter, it meant that Li Zhi had already understood it in his heart, and Li Zhi said that no one would want to attack him with this matter in the future.

glanced at Li Ji gratefully, I didn't expect that this old guy was usually unreliable, and he was really useful at critical moments, if it wasn't for Li Ji today, Li Hongzhen didn't know how to survive this catastrophe.

"Yao Qing, the outflow of this weapon, in the final analysis, is the negligence of the Ministry of War, I now give you a chance to atone for your crimes, from now on, the Ministry of War and Dali Temple will jointly investigate this case, and we must make the origin of this batch of weapons clear to me!"

Calming down, Li Zhi's tone was faintly cold, and there were so many weapons in the Gyeonggi Heavy Land, which really didn't make Li Zhi feel very annoyed, and commanded Yao Chong in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

A cadre of ministers said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Hong'er has been wronged this time, Your Majesty can't just forget it!"

Empress Wu has been quietly watching the development of the situation by the side, she knows that Li Zhi will not let her interfere in this kind of thing, so she has not spoken, until now, Empress Wu smiled and opened her mouth to ask for a favor for Li Hong.

"Hehe, since this is the case, I approved Hong'er's East Palace six rates, went to the fine a few days ago, and gave ten pearls!"

After figuring out the matter, Li Zhi was also happy in his heart, and said smoothly at the moment.

"Father Xie, Queen Mother!"

Li Hong was completely relieved at this time, although it seemed that Li Zhi did not give any substantial reward, but only exempted from the fine, but after such a big incident, Li Zhi still did not take away Li Hong's East Palace Six Rate, which is enough to show that Li Zhi still trusts Li Hong very much in his heart, and he does not have suspicion of Li Hong because of today's incident, which is the most important thing.

Otherwise, losing the Sacred Heart is the greatest loss!

However, Empress Wu spoke for Li Hong, which made him a little strange, although his relationship with Empress Wu is not bad, it is definitely not good, how could Empress Wu say good things for him for no reason.

But after thinking about it, Li Hong admired Wu Hou a little, and today's incident was obviously that Li Zhi felt that he had wronged Li Hong, and he felt guilty in his heart, but he didn't go down the ladder.

Empress Wu and Li Zhi have been husband and wife for so many years, how can they not see that they pushed the boat down the river to help Li Hong say a good word, which not only fulfilled her husband's wishes, but also showed her image of a loving mother, why not!

What's more, no matter what their relationship is, in front of outsiders, Empress Wu is the master of the harem in the world, and Li Hong is also a filial son, this is a façade kung fu, no matter what, you have to do it well.

"Your Majesty, I've seen it, the concubines are also a little tired, how about we go back to the palace?"

Empress Wu rarely held her forehead, looked a little tired, and said to Li Zhi.

Li Hong felt that today was really a strange day, his mother was full of energy every day, and it was incredible that he actually showed such a look today.

Could it be that today's events have something to do with the Empress Wu? Is it because of the failure of the plan to show this look?

However, this idea only appeared for a moment, and was extinguished by Li Hong, and now he is almost persecuted paranoia.

No matter how you say that Empress Wu is also Li Hong's mother, such a vicious idea Empress Wu should not be used, and even if Li Hong is not the prince, there will be another prince, and there is no need for Empress Wu to be like this.

What's more, if it is found out that the Empress Wu is behind this matter, she will directly lose everything, and even Li Zhi will no longer protect her, so the Empress Wu will not do such a thing that outweighs the loss.

His brain is really too tight these days, and everyone thinks he wants to harm him.

Li Hong shook his head, quickly followed Li Zhi's royal car, and left the East Palace!
