Chapter 47: Cao Junling Chi is executed
"Bei Nian, let's talk about the situation of the spy next to you." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the emperor continued to say with a smile.
Hearing this, Xue Beinian knew that the emperor had dug a pit and was waiting for him, and he was also afraid that he would mention the city lord of Jingyang City.
Then, Xue Beinian stood up tremblingly from the ground.
If he hadn't come to Jingyi for some reason this time, he would never have thought that the current emperor would be like this.
But Xue Beinian only nodded blankly, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes." ”
"The minister has found out that he is a spy sent by a neighboring country - Cao Jun. He was strong in martial arts, and all the doctors in Jingyang City were assassinated by him, and all the medicinal materials that were originally stored were destroyed by him. In order to pursue him, the guards around the minister were killed and wounded. ”
After speaking, Xue Beinian took out a few letters from his cuffs. The above are all his personal secret words with the emperors of neighboring countries, and the development status of Jingyang City has been written down.
Xue Beinian presented all the letters to the emperor, which was evidence of his crime as an undercover agent. Every word reveals his blatant crimes!
Then the emperor frowned and looked at it carefully.
Since there was also correspondence between the monarchs of the two countries, he knew the handwriting of the emperors of his neighbors all too well.
The handwriting is like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, and the iron painting is engraved with a silver hook, which deeply pierces Zhao Xuzhang's heart.
On the surface, the two countries are at peace and peaceful coexistence, but in fact there is already a dark tide.
Whoever is better at chess and skills will have the opportunity to expand the territory and expand the territory!
Seeing that the emperor's brows were getting tighter and tighter, the hearts of the ministers suddenly set off layers of horror.
Who would dare to bear his wrath easily?
"These are indeed the handwriting of the emperors of neighboring countries." After reading it, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his brows and said, "Beinian, this time you have made great achievements. ”
Hearing the emperor's words, Xue Beinian suddenly felt disdain in his heart. But his countenance has not changed in the slightest.
He had never forgotten the emperor's fierce appearance just now. To him, he was nothing more than a slave, a puppet at his disposal.
"The emperor's grace is so great that the ministers will arrest the spies." Xue Beinian said respectfully.
But at this time, Xue Beinian's eyes had long since lost the light that they emitted back then.
If it weren't for the cracks to survive, he would have wanted to abandon the official and be a carefree person again.
Seeing Xue Beinian's appearance of worshipping the head, the emperor became more and more satisfied, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily outlined a smile.
He thought that he had gained another loyal minister, but he didn't know that he had already broken the heart of a loyal minister.
Instead, the emperor asked with a gentle smile: "Beinian, you say, what should this Cao Jun do?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is just a small county official, and the minister knows nothing about this kind of thing related to the war situation between the two countries. Please also ask the emperor, don't let the ministers insult the friendship between the two countries. Xue Beinian said humbly.
Since the emperor likes these high-sounding words, why doesn't he just say such things.
It's just a big dream, which not only makes the emperor happy, but also saves his life.
"Beinian, you really need to go through it again. In the future, I will find you a suitable place to go so that you can improve and improve. ”
"Yes." Xue Beinian responded without humility or arrogance, without a trace of grief on his face.
But when it comes to the two countries, the emperor alone makes the decision, and there will inevitably be mistakes.
So the emperor changed his smile again, and said to Ning Xianting casually: "Prime Minister Ning, what do you think about this matter?" ”
He is always on top, and he will speak well of any minister he needs.
It doesn't take any minister to kick away from the old feelings!
Although Ning Xianting knew what kind of temperament the emperor was, he was the prime minister of a country, and he couldn't ignore state affairs just because of his personal likes and dislikes.
"Cao Jun's crime is beyond doubt, and there is no room for quibble. I hope that the emperor will correct the law on the spot and kill the spy Cao Junge. First, it can prestige and invigorate discipline. Second, it is also a warning to neighboring countries to stop here. ”
Hearing Ning Xianting's words, the ministers in the court immediately seconded the proposal in a loud voice: "What Prime Minister Ning said is very true, and I also ask the emperor to judge by law." ”
"The minister agrees with what Prime Minister Ning said."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
“……”
Suddenly, the main hall resounded like a bell for the sound of a crusade. For Cao Jun, everyone will be punished!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ning Xianting only felt familiar. Long before he went to Jingyang City, all the ministers were attached to him.
But then, they all overturned the remarks just now. Stand with the emperor and crusade against Ning Xianting together.
He didn't know how many times he had experienced such a situation. Now, it's just another time.
"Okay, then according to what the prime minister said, the spy Cao Junling Chi will be executed." Emperor Long Yan said happily.
At this time, he was like a wise king who consulted with civil and military vassals.
This proposal was personally said by Ning Xianting, even if something went wrong in the future, the emperor could find a reason and a way out for himself.
Before Ning Xianting could respond, the emperor took the lead and said, "Since the spy has been duly punished, the matter of Jingyang City has nothing to do with others. After today's discussion, no one is allowed to mention the matter of Jingyang City again. ”
The emperor said earnestly that he had to correct his attitude before Ning Xianting spoke.
Zhao Hongde is his own brother, even if he is blinded by interests, it is also his own brother, he can't be as cold as ice.
What's more, people die for money, birds die for food, and no one does not think about themselves.
Zhao Hongde just did what a normal person would do, he was not wrong, and he was not guilty!
"Your Majesty......" As soon as Ning Xianting raised his head to speak, he was immediately interrupted by the emperor gloomily.
"Prime Minister Ning, although you are the prime minister of a country, you still have a lot of thoughtless things. Next, I hope that you can make a good change and not look at the problem with a one-sided view. ”
The emperor looked at Ning Xianting as he spoke, "I believe that at this point, you will learn a lot from Xue Beinian. If you don't know what I said, you can ask Xue Beinian, and he can answer your questions. ”
Hearing this, Ning Xianting just smiled bitterly, and then he just pulled the corners of his mouth, and replied in a deep voice: "The minister knows." ”
Obviously, he is in a high position and has supreme power. But no matter what Ning Xianting does, he will be constrained. This is the sorrow and helplessness of a prime minister.
Even if he just wants to do the right thing, a thing to get back the Dharma for the people, he doesn't have a chance!
Until now, Ning Xianting couldn't tell what kind of state of mind he was.
Today's Zhaonan is strong and middle-class, and on the surface, it looks like a million lions. With a wave of your hand, you can step into other countries in one fell swoop.
But only Ning Xianting knows that the traitorous ministers in the court are now in charge, and the emperor is favored.
He really didn't know if the emperor really didn't know the situation in front of him, or if he pretended not to know.
If this situation continues to develop, where is the hope of Zhaonanguo?
