Ling Chendian's confrontation (2)
"Vice Admiral Li, who are you?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do! The minister wants to sue the regent Xu Ziyi for embezzlement of food and salary, and there is a suspicion of delaying the military plane! ”
"It can't be!" Xu Zijiu retorted almost without hesitation.
"Xiao Jiu, this king knows. You have a very good personal relationship with Uncle Huang, and you have had a deep relationship since childhood. It's just that this is a military matter, and you can't be so rash! King Jia warned Xu Zijiu, "You are still young, go aside." ”
"You ......"
"Li Da", the defendant Xu Ziyi's voice was piercing cold, "Just now you said that this king 'embezzled food and salaries and delayed military aircraft', but what evidence is there?" ”
"The minister is the witness! Your Highness, at the beginning of the Dabi Mountain in Nanrong, you disregarded the lives of the soldiers of my left army and took away all our food and wages. They also want us to stay and fight against the Southern Barbarians. As a result, more than 1,000 soldiers of the left army were zombie wilderness, and I was the only one who survived! Your Majesty, the regent is guilty, please Your Majesty Holy Judgment! Give my left army justice! ”
Li Da was excited, and the people below were all shocked. When did His Royal Highness the Regent, who was bent on defending the country, become a mixed official who could embezzle food and wages?
Xu Ziling sat on it with a look of disbelief: "Uncle Huang, what did he say...... But really? ”
"Of course it's not true", Xu Ziyi lightly clasped the table with his fingers, not in a hurry, "Li Da, this king did give an order to order the soldiers of the Left Army to garrison Dabi Mountain. But they did not take away your food, nor did they throw away your lives! Your fiasco was unexpected by the king, and the king was very saddened. ”
"Phew! Regent, I respect you and look up to you in vain, I really didn't expect that you are a sanctimonious hypocrite! Obviously, it was you, and the guards sent an order, saying that the front-line army was in short supply, and asked our left army to take all the grain and grass to support the front line! You still have a face here to turn black and white upside down! ”
Xu Ziyi still looked calm: "This king said no, but no." Unless you call out the guards who gave orders that day and confront them face to face. ”
King Jia clapped his hands again, and this time brought in a thin little guard in his teens.
"See Your Majesty for the little ones."
"No courtesy. Tell me, what's going on? Xu Ziling was a little nervous and impatient.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The smaller one is a small guard in the army of His Royal Highness the Regent. Before the destruction of the Left Army, it was His Royal Highness who asked the little one to go to the Left Army to pass on the order, and asked the little one to take away the grain and grass of Vice General Li. ”
"Bang Dang" -
"I'm sorry, my king's hands trembled for a while, and he broke the wine glass."
The thin little guard seemed to tremble with fear at such a breaking sound, and did not dare to raise his head. The cowering look looks a little suspicious.
"Little guard, you are a guard in our army. How is it that this king has never seen you? ”
"Little ...... The small position is lowly, and His Highness is not ...... Haven't seen ...... Very...... It's normal. ”
"Oh, I think you all know that my Xu Ziyi is strict in governing the army. Therefore, my soldiers must not dare to forget military discipline. Now, this king asks you, what is the thirty-eighth military discipline in this king's army? ”
The little guard's eyes dodged, he didn't expect Xu Ziyi to ask this kind of question: "Small...... Small ......"
Mo asked the appropriate time to explain: "Article 38 of the army's military discipline: Those who fail to answer the question of military discipline should receive eighty military sticks." ”
The little guard panicked and began to shout: "His Royal Highness King Jia, His Royal Highness King Jia save me!" ”
King Jia already had a blue face: "You kid, dare to bewitch this king!" Slander His Royal Highness the Regent! Drag it down and cut it! ”
"Wait."
Xu Ziyi looked at Xu Ziqi steadily: "King Jia, this king feels that this little guard seems to have something to say?" ”
"But a lowly subordinate! What does His Royal Highness the Lord Regent want him to do! "King Jia can only try to avoid contact between the little guard and Xu Ziyi now.
Xu Zijiu couldn't help laughing on the side, he knew that his imperial uncle was a "either don't do it or do it absolutely" character, and he would definitely not stop there.
Really.
"The subordinate also has the right to speak. Little guard, what this king asks you next, but you have to think clearly before answering. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as the eighty military stick. Xu Ziyi's tone was soft, but it was shocking for no reason.
"Yes...... The little one must answer truthfully! Don't dare to cheat again! ”
"Good. The king asks you, "Who is it that you have been instructed to slander this king?" ”
"I ......"
The little guard glanced at King Jia from time to time, wanting to say it but not daring to say it. None of you are stupid, and you already know a rough idea.
The little guard gritted his teeth in the end, and he had the momentum to go out: "If you go back to Your Highness, the little one is under the command of His Royal Highness King Jia!" His Royal Highness King Jia threatened the little one with his mother, if the little one could not testify against His Royal Highness the Regent in the main hall today, he would kill his mother! Your Highness, the little one is also forced to do so, Your Highness. I beg Your Highness to spare your life and spare the little one! ”
"Nonsense! Uncle Huang, this kid is full of nonsense, you must not believe his words, hurt the friendship between our uncle and nephew! ”
King Jia saw that it was difficult to make two hairs, so he had to show his emotional cards.
But who is Xu Ziyi? The Lord who is never affectionate! Even if the emperor makes a mistake, he will point it out to his face. How can you care about a person who has repeatedly tried to murder you?
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the minister's innocence cannot be ruined by a small guard, let alone provoked by it. However, if what the little guard said was true, King Jia was deliberately murdered. Then, the minister can't swallow this breath. ”
Xu Ziyi waved at Xu Ziling, and his tone was very sincere.
"Uncle Huang, please rest assured. I will never let people slander Uncle Huang for no reason! Xu Ziling indifferently stabbed Xu Ziqi with a knife in the eye, "King Jia, do you still have something to say?" ”
"Your Majesty, you must not believe the words of this little guard. Wei Chen has done his best for His Majesty, how could he take the initiative to frame such a humerus minister as the regent? Your Majesty, please make a clear decision! ”
Xu Ziling didn't want to make things too embarrassing, so he retired from the little guard: "Just reward eighty military sticks!" As for King Jia, he listened to the slander and did not defend himself, so that the regent was framed and fined for three months and grounded for ten days as a punishment. ”
"Your Majesty, Wechen ......"
"Stand down. Tonight's party wasn't interesting. I'm tired, go back and rest first. ”
"Ministers, send the emperor."
Li Da finally understood at this moment that he was being used as a gunman. He retired early from the palace and stopped the regent as he came out.
"Your Highness, please forgive your sins. It's the stupidity of his subordinates that will be used by King Jia's shameless man. ”
After Li Da finished speaking, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, refusing to get up.
"Li Da, you have been in the army for many years. He who knows this king best. This king thinks he treats you well, but you betrayed me without hesitation. This king will not use you again. ”
Xu Ziyi was indifferent from beginning to end, and there was no mood fluctuation: "Don't ask, let's go." ”
"Your Highness, Your Highness...... The subordinates knew that they were wrong. Your Highness ......"
And Xu Ziyi didn't look back.
Trust is often fragile, many times only once.
