Chapter 549: Method
The wheels turned, the carriage left the Gu Mansion, Gu Yilan pushed open the carriage window, looked back at the gate of the Gu Mansion that was gradually moving away, and the moisture in her eyes gradually overflowed.
Gu Yilan blinked, suppressed her tears, and reached out to close the window. She didn't expect that in the end, Scholar Gu would tell her such an admonition as "self-preservation". This made Gu Yilan both surprised and a little moved, but more importantly, she felt guilty.
Gu Yilan knew that if it weren't for her secretly agitating these days, Senior Scholar Gu might not have decided his position so quickly, he could actually continue to wait and see for a while before making a decision.
Although Scholar Gu chose to believe in the king not all because of her, there were indeed reasons why she contributed to it.
This was originally the result that Gu Yilan expected, but when the dust settled, she inevitably felt ashamed of her mother's family.
But there was no turning back when the bow was opened, the Gu family had no way to retreat, and Gu Yilan was useless. Therefore, she could only make up her mind as if she was comforting herself, even if her grandfather told her to protect herself, but if there was an event in the future, she would definitely try her best to protect the children of the Gu family.
Hypocrisy. Gu Yilan laughed at herself, it was just self-comforting, she did it, there is no need to look back now, just keep looking forward! King Xin has entered the palace today, and I hope ...... I hope that the red clothes did not believe in the wrong person, and I hope that they did not believe in the wrong person.
Zheng Ying, who was given high hopes by Gu Yilan, really did not disappoint. After handing over the pigeon whistle in the north to the emperor, in front of the emperor, he boldly proposed a plan to induce confessions by deception.
"The ordnance is also lost, what do you think?" The emperor threw the scroll of paper with this dense small character on the bookcase, leaned back in the chair and stared at his son, his eyes were complicated, with a little scrutiny, a little caution, a little expectation, and perhaps a little contempt as if he were looking at a joke.
"You can't relax in finding Rong Di's spies, but Erchen still thinks that Jiang Shilang's accusations in the military department are not groundless." Zheng Ying replied.
"I want evidence." The emperor sneered: "It's not an empty accusation." Jiang Wenbin can't come up with any evidence of He Wenmao's violation of the law, is it possible that you want to take people without evidence like this? ”
"Father's lesson." Zheng Ying bowed slightly to show obedience: "Jiang Wenbin of the Ministry of War can't come up with any evidence about He Wenmao, so Erchen doesn't plan to detain He Wenmao at the moment." But Erchen thought that with the two confessions handed over by Jiang Shilang and the treasury list of the military department many years ago, it was enough to detain Zhao Zhiliang, the military department's waiter, for trial. ”
"Oh?" The emperor's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes changed subtly: "Do you want to hold Zhao Zhiliang first?" ”
"Yes." Zheng Ying nodded, and replied calmly: "The ordnance of the military department was lost, and Zhao Zhiliang was secretly involved in the performance. In addition, it has been a few days since the news of the robbery of military funds was transmitted back to the capital, and various rumors have continued in the DPRK and China, and since the courtiers ordered the house arrest of Hulu Yinghuan sister and brother, the courtiers have been talking about it in the past few days, and the father must have heard about it. ”
"Hmm." The emperor nodded: "I know what you are referring to. In the past few days, there have been rumors in the DPRK and China, pointing out that Rong Di's spy is likely to be in the military department. ”
"Father, Emperor Shengming." Zheng Ying bowed down and continued: "Where did this rumor come from, I guess my father already knew it. The courtiers' intrigues and tricks have never been able to hide from their father. ”
"Alright." The emperor waved his hand at Zheng Ying: "Provincial province of your obedient thoughts, you are my own son, don't learn from the courtiers' flattery, if you have something to say." ”
The emperor was so faceless, and his words even made people a little unable to get off the stage, but Zheng Ying's expression was as calm as ever, without any embarrassment.
He arched his hand towards the emperor and replied solemnly: "Yes!" Erchen thought that there were rumors in the court that there was a spy on Rong Di in the Ministry of War, so it was better to ask the officials of the Ministry of War first. When Zhao Zhiliang was in the military department before, there was a similar incident of 'Rong Di people crossing the border and looting', and since it was such a 'coincidence', it would not be too much to arrest him for trial. This is one of them. ”
"Second, this time, the ordnance of the Ministry of War and the grain and grass of the household department were lost together, even if the matter is as Jiang Wenbin said, someone is trying to cover up something, then it cannot be easily determined that there is a problem with the batch of grain and grass of the household department, and the military department must also check it, so it should be regarded as a clear of suspicion."
"Heh......" The emperor chuckled: "I still remember that Jiang Wenbin said that he personally handled the batch of ordnance and watched people load the car. But he patted his chest in front of me and said there was no problem. If you want to check the military department, only detain Zhao Zhiliang, and not detain the handling official Jiang Wenbin together, I'm afraid it can't be justified, right? ”
"One by one." Zheng Ying replied in a calm tone: "There are a number of officials in the Ministry of War, and they are all taken to the prison of the Criminal Department to be detained, but the daily government affairs of the Ministry of War are also troublesome. If Erchen has interrogated Zhao Zhiliang, there is no problem, and it is not too late to detain Jiang Wenbin after he is released. ”
"Ahem......" The emperor coughed lightly, hiding his serious expression that almost collapsed. I didn't see it! This old five, who does things on weekdays, is really unique when he gets out of bad water.
This is clearly aimed at Zhao Zhiliang alone, he is determined to take people, the reason is one set, and he is cunning if he is unreasonable.
"You can do it yourself," the emperor finally waved his hand at Zheng Ying: "I sent this case to you, I want the result, as for what to do with the case, it is your own business." But Xiao Wu, I remind you that what you decide, bear the consequences yourself, and don't expect me to give you the aftermath. ”
What the emperor meant, Zheng Ying understood very well in her heart. He knew that his two reasons could stand up to the emperor, but in the eyes of Li Xiang and Zheng Jin, it was a different matter.
Zhao Zhiliang is a student of Li Xiang and a person of Zheng Jin, if he only detains Zhao Zhiliang in the entire military department, it will really mean something against Zheng Jin, and it will definitely cause a strong backlash from King Yi and the queen.
And the emperor, in this matter, will never intervene to help, Zheng Ying can only rely on herself to settle it.
In fact, the safest and simplest plan has already been prompted by the emperor, that is, to cast a wide net and detain three or four officials of the Ministry of War, including Zhao Zhiliang, Jiang Wenbin, and even Sun Shangshu.
Zheng Ying also knew that this was the most trouble-free way. But helplessly, he really can't do this right now.
First, Sun Shangshu's target has to continue to hang around outside to attract Li Xiang's attention.
Second, tomorrow Sun Shangshu will go to the book and ask to buy grain and grass in Gyeonggi. In addition to Sun Shangshu and Jiang Wenbin, Zheng Ying really didn't worry about handing it over to others, and the grain and grass in the north really couldn't be delayed any longer.
