Chapter Forty-Eight: Binding the Tiger
At the Wangri Imperial Court, the King of Qin released another atomic bomb, and he presented a copy of his 'evidence' of collaborating with the enemy in public, and then argued that this was a counter-plot of the Jurchens, wanting to avenge the defeat of his own hands that day. The court suddenly boiled the pot, and it was said that the king of Qin was walking straight, and this matter was a trick by the Jurchens to frame Zhongliang. But some people say that there is no wind and no waves, and flies do not bite eggs without sewing, why did the Jurchens just find the King of Qin...
After arguing for a long time, each said its own reason, and there was no result in the end, Zhao Huan ordered Chen Guoting in the imperial history to investigate the matter thoroughly, and then make a decision, King Qin was temporarily grounded in the mansion, waiting for the results.
Chen Guoting was ordered to handle the case, and first transferred the Jurchen spy captured by the King of Qin on the spot to the prison of the Criminal Department, but the person who could deliver the letter committed suicide that night, and Xiao Zhonggong, another Jin envoy, suddenly went berserk in the lobby and died by hitting the pillar. How could Zhang Bangchang be on fire at this time, and another powerful witness, Jin Envoy Wang Xiao, they did not dare to arrest without evidence, and the case entered a dead end.
But the matter has to be decided, several leaders of the Yushitai studied for a long time, and unanimously agreed that King Qin was innocent, he not only captured the Jin State spy who lobbied him, but also took the initiative to speak out about the matter. If there is really something, who will put on his head, and it is a heinous crime of rebellion, unless he is really crazy, so several people jointly played the results of the investigation - King Qin is not guilty...
"I asked you to be in charge of the soldiers of the three yas, responsible for the security of the forbidden middle, and you actually let the Jin people infiltrate the Jingshi to deliver the secret letter to the King of Qin, how did you behave?" In the vertical arch hall, Wang Zongmi, the imperial uncle who knelt a few days ago, and Zhao Huan lost his temper. Broken porcelain shards were scattered on the ground, apparently victims of his wrath.
His Majesty was furious. It was the sins of the ministers, but the ministers did their duty. King Qin's every move was under the watchful eye of the minister, but how he got the secret letter of the minister really didn't know! Wang Zongwei was also very aggrieved, and he couldn't wait to surround the Qin Palace, share the bed with him, eat and sleep with him, and look at him, but there was still a mistake. Since receiving the emperor's orders, all the traffic arteries in Gyeonggi have been checked, and the gates of Gyeongshi have been strictly checked, and it is not yet clear how the messengers of the Jin people entered. He felt very wronged, he always had hard work without credit, but he was scolded by the emperor's nephew like a dog.
"Dare to quibble, since you are strictly monitoring, why don't you know anything about King Qin's secret letter, let him take it to the main hall, and I will definitely punish you for negligence!" Zhao Huan became even more angry when he heard this, and reprimanded loudly.
"Your Majesty, as long as you can dissipate your anger, you can punish the old ministers as you want. Take care of your dragon's body! Wang Zongwei looked at his nephew's pale face, obviously angry enough, and hurriedly persuaded him, and gave Geng Nanzhong who was standing aside a fierce look.
His Majesty was furious. Lord Wang is also doing his best, but there will be a mistake in the past, and King Qin has always been cunning. The plan to attack the east and the west allowed him to succeed for a while. It can't all be blamed on Lord Wang! Geng Nanzhong pursed the corners of his mouth and stepped forward to say.
"Hmph. Let's write it down for the time being, and there will be two crimes next time! Zhao Huan sat down and said angrily, he was helpless in his heart, the only one who could trust his relatives was this uncle, and he couldn't lead the troops according to the rules, in case his relatives interfered in politics, in order to consolidate his throne, he could only use him, but he was unsatisfactory, his ability to do things was too poor, and he still couldn't fight his baby brother.
"Thank you yet, Your Majesty!" Geng Nanzhong knew that the emperor was angry, stepped forward to help Wang Zongmi, and ordered the attendants to quickly clean up the ground, and Wang Zongmian also quickly thanked him and retreated to the side.
"Alas, I wanted to use this incident to demote him and ruin his reputation, but I didn't expect him to use this to gain a clear reputation, which is really annoying!" Zhao Heng asked people to move two embroidery piers to sit down and sighed.
Zhao Tan gathered more than 100,000 troops in Hedong in ten days, Zhao Huan originally thought that he would respond to the call for a long time in Hedong, thinking that only by transferring him out of Hedong could destroy its foundation, but he did not expect that there was still such a great appeal in Hebei, not only gathered 70,000 or 80,000 volunteers, but also made the guards listen to him. This made Zhao Huan uneasy day and night, worried that Zhao Ta would rebel, so he wanted to make him stink by collaborating with the enemy, but in the end, he let him turn against the guest and put himself together.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter seems to have no flaws, but those two golden people died one after another, and they didn't get anything from their mouths, it must have been the King of Qin who did something from it, so that they couldn't speak, and he took the initiative to take the initiative to be afraid that the matter would be revealed, and he was worried that His Majesty would come to Longwei, so he had to make this decision!" Geng Nanzhong said, "And this also shows that His Majesty is wise, and when he found that he had a bad intention, he immediately decided to transfer him back, preemptively reached a peace agreement with the Jin people, dismissed the righteous and brave, and left him with no soldiers in his hands, and the Jurchens did not know the truth and still sent people to come, but the King of Qin was powerless." ”
"Well, if that's the case, then this time it's also his helplessness!" After listening to Geng Nanzhong's words, Zhao Huan's anger decreased slightly, and he felt a little proud in his heart.
"Yes, King Qin must have offended the Jurchens like this, I'm afraid he won't do this kind of thinking again, although it is a fly in the ointment, but it is also a good result!" Geng Nanzhong said with a smile.
"It's just a pity that this great opportunity allowed him to escape again, but if he doesn't get rid of it, I can't feel at ease in my heart!" Zhao Huan nodded and said, but there was always a little awkwardness in his heart.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, if you deal with King Qin now, his achievements just now will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the government and the opposition, but it will hurt the benevolence of His Majesty, so you must try it slowly!" Geng Nanzhong hurriedly persuaded.
"Well, but he is unruly and difficult to discipline, I am worried that he will have another accident, it is better to send him to Lingnan, a barren mountain and remote land, and let him fend for himself!" Zhao Huan said.
"Your Majesty must not, the King of Qin is different from others, he is very good at buying people's hearts, although Lingnan is barren, but the people are fierce, brave and ruthless, if it is taken in by it, it is a big trouble!" Geng Nanzhong sighed secretly in his heart, how can the emperor remember to eat or not, the ministers of the court and the central government just wanted to 'dispatch' him to the wild land in the northwest, who would have thought that he would make such a big scene, and then let him go, it would be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain.
"So what?" Zhao Huan frowned and asked.
"As long as they are confined in the capital, they will be monitored, their contacts will be cut off, and their foundations will be shoveled; Give it a beautiful woman a golden silk and consume its ambition; Appreciate its fields and houses, cherish them, and extinguish their sharpness! After a long time, can a wild tiger without claws and teeth still be called a tiger? Geng Nanzhong said with a smile.
"Well, then according to what Aiqing said, let him live in Beijing for the rest of his life!" Zhao Huan nodded with satisfaction, the soft knife killing is a good trick... (To be continued......)
