Chapter 60: Martyrdom in the Court 1
After breakfast, seeing that Lin Qingzhi's mood and mood had calmed down, Xiao Mufeng let go of his hanging heart, sent someone to the Lin Mansion to explain the situation to reassure Lin Chengde, and rode the red and brown horse to the direction of the military camp outside the city.
After yesterday's incident, Xiao Mufeng strengthened the guards of the palace, leaving several masters of the Shadow Guard in the palace to strengthen their guards.
An autumn rain and a cool, with a few thunder sounds, the gloomy sky roared and rained heavily, as if to wash away all the dust and dirt in the world, and return a clean and cool world.
Lin Qingzhi, who was leaning on the soft collapse, stroked the faint drowsiness between her forehead, listened to the regular notes of the raindrops hitting the porch in front of the window, and didn't feel sleepy, so she simply walked to the side of the bed and took a nap.
When everyone thought that the dust had settled, they did not expect that a bigger storm was still brewing.
Heavy rain can wash away the dirt and dust, but it cannot wash away the dirt in the hearts of the people in the world, just as the sun cannot shine into the dark corners of people's hearts.
Two days later, three days after the suspension of the dynasty, finally in September 12 to resume the dynasty, just after the hour, the Jinluan Hall has stood on the officials of more than five grades, everyone is wearing court clothes, standing neatly, hanging hands and waiting for the emperor to go to court.
It's just that there is one more figure in today's court, that is, Liu Zhiyuan, who was injured in the first battle in the north, after returning to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries for more than a month, Liu Zhiyuan's body has also returned to normal, but his face is more cold, and even Xiao Mufeng, the Prince of Ning, who fought side by side, also looked very cold.
Xiao Mufeng was wearing a pro-dynasty costume, a jade crown and gold beads, and his cold and handsome face added a touch of heavenly majesty, which was not inferior to the prince in a gorgeous costume standing in front of him.
With the eunuch's shout, the emperor Xiao Jingjiao, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walked to the dragon chair on the jade steps and sat down, everyone knelt and bowed, and there was a start to the local situation and report on the completion of government affairs, half an hour later, according to the custom, the emperor asked: "What else do you have to play?" If you have nothing to do, just retreat. ”
As soon as the emperor's words were finished, Liu Zhiyuan walked to the middle, knelt down and said loudly: "Weichen has something to play." ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his voice was not salty: "What does General Liu have to play?" ”
After getting the emperor's inquiry, Liu Zhiyuan said loudly: "Weichen wants to impeach a person." ”
"General Liu has just recovered his body and is going to impeach people, so who do you want to impeach?" The old emperor said with a smile.
"The person who Weichen wants to impeach is the general of the protector of the country, and the left minister who is also the chief assistant - Lord Lin Chengdelin!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Liu Zhiyuan's words, dozens of eyes turned to Liu Zhiyuan, and the court fell into a burst of discussions, all discussing one after another.
Xiao Mufeng was even more surprised, and asked sharply: "Prime Minister Zuo is loyal and conscientious for the country, General Liu, what do you want to impeach Prime Minister Zuo?" ”
The old emperor also continued: "General Liu, you can think about it, don't talk about it in the court. ”
"What Weichen said is true, if there is half a sentence is not true, please the emperor severely punished Weichen, that day the left minister commander army to the north to aid in attacking the Khitan, on the surface defeated the Khitan, but in fact and the Khitan general Yelu Gu secretly communicated, there is another agreement, Yelu Gu is the son of Yelu Abaoji, dissatisfied with the Khitan king passed on to his brother Yelu Deguang, and is afraid that the war is too great so that the new Khitan king is afraid to get rid of him, so he preserves his strength, and Lin Shuai at that time agreed, Yelu Gu pretended to be defeated, After Lin Shuai and Yelu Gue each returned to China to obtain the throne, they could make an alliance, a truce and peace, and even Lin Shuai promised Yelu Gue that if he usurped the throne in the future, he could lead the army to help him. Liu Zhiyuan said word by word, so shocked that everyone opened their mouths wide and couldn't close their mouths.
"General Liu, how can you say such words that turn black and white upside down, when you and I were in Jicheng in the north to fight the enemy together, like brothers, you touch your conscience, how can you frame Zhongliang like this?" Xiao Mufeng glared at Liu Zhiyuan angrily and said bitterly.
"Evidence is required in everything, General Liu, you framed the old man like this, have you ever thought about the consequences?" Lin Chengde was calm and composed.
"Framing Zhongliang? His Royal Highness King Ning, although you and Zuo Xiang are now in a son-in-law relationship, but you are the prince of the Great Jin Kingdom, Wechen advises you to put the people of the Jin Kingdom first, the emperor, Wechen and His Royal Highness King Ning went deep into the enemy's hinterland in two ways, and prepared to march with the army led by Lin Shuai to besiege the Khitan army led by Yelu Gue, but Wechen only led 20,000 elite soldiers, but he repeatedly exposed his whereabouts, provoking the Khitan soldiers to chase after him, but in the end there were only less than 2,000 remnants left, and Wechen almost lost his life, the emperor knows why? Wei Chen accidentally heard that there were several spies among the soldiers who were plotting, saying that Lin Shuai ordered them to reveal our whereabouts to the Khitan! ”
"What's that spy's name? Can it be confronted in person? The Emperor asked.
"Back to the emperor, the minister was incompetent, the minister did not debunk it in person at that time, and I wanted to wait for the emperor to deal with it after returning to the dynasty, but the army led by the minister was almost wiped out, and the two spies also died at the hands of the Khitans." Liu Zhiyuan looked sad.
"Does that mean that there is no proof of death? How can you know that you were not instructed to be falsely accused? Xiao Mufeng gritted his teeth with a cold look in his eyes.
"The spy may have been arranged by someone else, blaming Lin Shuai, do you have any evidence to prove that they are Lin Shuai's people? Father, the son does not believe that the left minister will collude with the enemy, otherwise it is impossible to recover the southern Xinjiang, and repelled tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers, so many years of the left minister for the country's horse leather shroud, bloody battle, if there is a rebellious heart, there is no need to wait until now, please father and emperor order a thorough investigation of this matter! Xiao Mufeng knelt down and arched his hand.
As Xiao Mufeng knelt on the ground, people in the court knelt down one after another to seconded the proposal and asked the emperor to investigate thoroughly.
The emperor had no expression on his face, and stared at Liu Zhiyuan coldly: "Do you know what crime should be committed to framing the first rank of the imperial court?" ”
"It's not a pity for Weichen to die, since I dare to stand here today and expose the truth bluntly, I have already thought about the consequences of the sword, Weichen is also for the Jin Kingdom and the emperor, if you let this kind of wolf ambition person mix in the court, I will be ...... The Great Jin Dynasty is in danger......" Liu Zhiyuan's tone was full of pain, and he looked willing to sacrifice his life for the country.
"General Liu, you are going to frame the enemy for betraying the country based on the words of one person, and you are also alarmist that the Great Jin is in danger, do you still have the emperor in your eyes? If I really collaborate with the enemy, why don't I kill you while you are seriously injured, and allow you to slander your true nature here? Lin Chengde's eyes were like torches and he said angrily.
