Chapter 553: The Prince and the Courtier

"Lord Wang!" Li Xiang's tone was a little tough: "Everyone knows that Zhao Zhiliang is a student of Xiaguan, and King Xin is arresting spies in the military department, and no one is fine, just detaining him." The letter king's move is clearly that the drunkard does not mean to drink, and takes the opportunity to exclude dissidents and eradicate your power. ”

"It's just a five-grade waiter," Zheng Jin replied, "You think he's such a short-sighted person?" If his purpose is to eradicate the power of this king, wouldn't it be more appropriate to find Wen Chengping. ”

"But the prince!" Li Xiang frowned: "The king of faith is deeply hidden, and he is good at using ghost tricks, and the prince must not take it lightly." Not only is Zhao Zhiliang's arrest worthy of our vigilance, but also Sun Shangshu's attitude at the moment is also very intriguing. The prince should know that Sun Shangshu is old and sophisticated, and he is gentle and comfortable in dealing with things on weekdays, and he rarely has an extremely tough attitude like today. Where did he get the confidence? Didn't you believe in the king? ”

"Naturally, it is the king of faith." Zheng Jin replied calmly: "Do you still need to guess this?" If there is really a spy in the DPRK and China, and this spy can still grasp accurate military intelligence, then the biggest suspicion can only be the military department. It's just that no matter who this spy is, this king believes that it can never be Sun Shangshu. However, if it is really a spy in the Ministry of War, Sun Shangshu, as the chief officer of the Ministry of War, is not lightly charged, and the only way for him to protect himself at the moment is to cooperate well and quickly find out the spies in the DPRK and China. Therefore, it is normal for him to take refuge in the Five Emperor Brothers, after all, his father sent the Five Emperor Brothers to investigate the case thoroughly, and the final conclusion of the case will be up to him, how big is Sun Shangshu's culpability, and according to which law to convict, to a certain extent, the Five Emperor Brothers have the absolute right to speak. Therefore, listening to the words of the Five Emperor Brothers is the only way out for Sun Shangshu at the moment. ”

"Lord Wang, then we can't take it lightly." Li Xiang looked anxious, and looked completely considerate of King Yi: "Sun Shangshu is an important minister of the real power faction, if he falls to King Xin, King Xin will be like a tiger with wings, but for us, it will be a little windy." The secretary of the military department fell to King Xin, and now King Xin detained Zhao Zhiliang again, and it didn't take long for the entire military department to be under the control of King Xin. ”

"What does Lord Xiangye mean," Zheng Jin turned to stare at Li Xiang, and his face, which had always had a gentle smile, was expressionless: "Zhao Zhiliang, the fifth emperor brother of this king, is it because he wants to put the charge of being a spy on Zhao Zhiliang alone?" ”

"It's obvious." Li Xiang arched his hand towards Zheng Jin: "If the spy is really in the Ministry of War, then the officials of the entire Ministry of War will not be able to get rid of suspicion, how can you believe that the king only detains Zhao Zhiliang?" Lord Wang, this is the evidence that King Xin wants to take the opportunity to exclude dissidents and control the military department, and he is here for you and the old man. ”

"Heh......" Zheng Jin stared at Li Xiang's eyes and chuckled: "Lord Xiangye missed one thing, that is, the fifth emperor brother of this king is not a stupid person." This king and him are both princes of the Great Zhou, whether it is him or this king who ascends to the throne of the crown prince in the future, this country belongs to the Zheng family. ”

Li Xiang didn't react to the meaning of Zheng Jin's words for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. After reacting, a dense layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Li Xiang's back.

It's that he's too eager to think it through! He ignored an important thing, that is, the robbery of military funds was not done by Rong Di, he knew it in his heart, because Zhao Zhiliang had used the same method to get rid of his guilt under his nose before, and at that time he not only turned a blind eye, but even assisted Zhao Zhiliang.

He knew about it, but the emperor didn't know it, and neither did King Xin and King Yi.

For King Yi and King Xin, the position of the crown prince is important, and the party struggle is not a trivial matter, but the matter of Rong Di's treachery in the court is even more intolerable.

They are the Zheng royal family, if there is an enemy country spy in the court, it is a major event that shakes the country's foundation, in this matter, the attitude of Zheng Ying, the king of letters, and Zheng Jin, the king of Yi, is actually the same, what they want is the truth, and they are to find out the secret and the law.

Zheng Jin knows very well that it is indeed possible for Zheng Ying to expand the scope of the attack and take the opportunity to eradicate his forces after finding out who the spy is, but it is absolutely impossible to attack his forces before the matter is clarified.

Zheng Jin also knows what Zheng Ying's real attitude is on Zhao Zhiliang. A few days ago, Zheng Ying went to Zhao Zhiliang's mansion and "invited" people into the Criminal Department, and did not take people with flail on the spot, this is what he did, Zhao Zhiliang was his Zheng Jin's person, and when Zheng Ying arrested his people, he actually gave enough face.

Besides, Zheng Ying went to the Zhao Mansion after meeting the emperor, so the emperor was informed about this matter. Therefore, Zheng Jin is sure that this Zhao Zhiliang must be inseparable from the current case of military funds being robbed. Zhao Zhiliang was arrested, and he absolutely could not interfere.

Li Xiang also reacted quickly, and after he figured out Zheng Jin's thoughts, he immediately knew that he had made a serious mistake. At present, I am afraid that in Zheng Jin's eyes, he is already a stupid man who only cares about party disputes and ignores the interests of the country, if this continues, even if Zheng Jin takes the position in the future, it will be impossible to reuse him, and the most likely thing is to let Xie Xiang's old thing get cheap. Therefore, he had to find a way to make up for it as soon as possible.

"Lord Wang, it's the minister who didn't think it through." Li Xiang hurriedly bent down, looking respectful and obedient: "The minister is also anxious for you, so he is so unbreathable." Now the minister has figured it out, no matter what, the spy must be found out as soon as possible, this is a first-class matter. ”

"Xiangye is a smart person," Zheng Jin replied, "naturally he knows what to do." ”

"Yes!" Li Xiang replied: "The lower officials will fully cooperate with King Xin and find out Rong Di's spies." ”

"That's the best." Zheng Jin nodded: "After all, the Fifth Emperor Brother was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the case of the robbery of military funds. ”

"Yes......" Li Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he was a little unwilling, he thought about it, and finally added one more sentence: "Then the prince, about the matter of the military department taking the lead in requisitioning grain and grass......

"This king knows that you are unhappy in your hearts," Zheng Jin smiled slightly: "The household department contributes money and efforts, but it depends on the eyes of Sun Shangshu of the military department." You can discuss this matter with He Wenmao, this king believes that you can handle it, if you can take advantage of this to bring down Sun Shangshu, it is naturally your ability. It's just that Lord Li, this king still has to remind you one more sentence, the purchase of grain and grass in Gyeonggi was approved by his father's dynasty, and this matter is already a certainty. ”

"Lord Wang, please rest assured, the lower officials understand." Li Xiang bent down towards Zheng Jin and replied very respectfully.
