Wang Yangming didn't know why, but Boyan guessed it, thinking that these guys in the Criminal Department were really fast, and they had actually reported the suspected matter of Wang Yangming's corruption to the emperor. But looking at the emperor's meaning, he doesn't seem to be angry, and it seems that things may not be as bad as he imagined.

The emperor ordered the eunuch beside him to read the chapter briefly, and when the eunuch finished reading, he said coldly: "Du Shaoqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, this old man is becoming more and more speechless, and this big thing actually has to write a chapter and report it to me." This kind of thing, it would be good to investigate it according to my Great Xia regulations. But it just so happens that you, the client, are here today, and I just happened to see your arguments. ”

Wang Yangming didn't know what the emperor was talking about, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. It turned out that there was an unwritten rule in the Great Xia court: all officials in the court were impeached by other officials, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple, and they had to submit a letter of defense to explain their grievances. Wang Yangming didn't know anything about this and didn't dare to reply.

Boyan hurriedly reported to the emperor: "Back to the saint, the minister and Wang Xiaowei traveled all the way to the capital day and night, and they haven't had time to prepare for a debate. ”

The Emperor nodded: "Okay." Since I haven't had time to write a debate, it's okay to tell me about it. ”

Wang Yangming was about to report the reason for the incident, when he heard Xiao Li's father-in-law walk in from outside the door: "Dean Guozi Jian Sanyisheng is asking to see him outside the palace." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Coincidentally, Dean San also came to see me today?"

Wang Yangming secretly gave Biluo a thumbs up in his heart, thinking that this must be Biluo who had already brought the words, but he didn't know how San Yisheng knew that he had come to the palace.

"Since you're here, please come as well. ”

At that moment, Xiao Li's father-in-law went out to deliver the decree, and within a while, San Yisheng had already arrived. He saluted respectfully to the emperor, but did not kneel, this is the special treatment given to him by the emperor, he does not have to kneel when he sees the king, and he can go to the court with a sword. The emperor smiled and said, "Dean San is just in time, your apprentice has just returned from the northwest. ”

San Yisheng glanced at Wang Yangming, and Wang Yangming smiled secretly at him. San Yisheng saw that he hadn't seen him for half a year, his apprentice had darkened and lost some weight, but there was a flying look between his eyebrows, and there was already a shallow layer of brilliance in his eyes, knowing that his internal strength had a thick foundation, and he was quite happy in his heart.

The most rare thing is that this little apprentice already has a somewhat calm temperament, which cannot be obtained by killing enemies on the front line, which makes him happier than the progress of martial arts.

San Yisheng returned to the emperor's words: "The ministers are saints, the ministers are here today to report on the recruitment of new people for the country this year." Wang Yangming sighed in his heart, thinking that the country would recruit new people again so soon. It's been a year in a hurry, and it's really a white horse. But he knew in his heart that this was just a reason for San Yisheng to find, in fact, the real purpose of San Yisheng was to support himself.

The emperor nodded: "The recruitment of new people every year is a major event in my Great Xia Kingdom. However, this is not in a hurry, I am talking to Wang Yangming about something here, you are here, and you just so happen to listen to it. After that, he handed the recital written by Du Shaoqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to San Yisheng, who frowned after reading it, but did not speak.

Wang Yangming saw that the three of them were waiting for him to speak, so he had to tell everything about his past and backwards of being framed in the logistics camp of the Northwest Army.

After hearing this, the emperor couldn't see the expression on his face, but said: "This is a matter of the Ministry of War, why is the Ministry of Criminal Affairs active?"

Before Boyan came to the palace, this was what he couldn't understand, the internal affairs of the military department, but the criminal department issued an official document, although it was not a violation of the rules, after all, it was a little strange.

Wang Yangming was not surprised at all, and said respectfully: "Weichen and Du Changqing, the son of Du Shaoqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, have a little holiday. So he told Du Changqing about Du Changqing's domineering and domineering situation at the Yuelai Inn in the Northwest, and only omitted the matter of the Gu Lunyi brothers and sisters. After listening to this, the emperor asked Boyan: "What Captain Wang said, is it all true?"

Boyan patted his chest: "The minister knows Captain Wang very well. The minister guarantees with his personality that Wang Xiaowei is definitely not a person who bends the law for bribes, and he must have been framed in this matter. ”

The Emperor looked at San Yisheng, waiting for his opinion.

San Yisheng lightly arched his hand: "Holy Lord, although Wang Yangming is my apprentice, his current identity is indeed the captain of my Northwest Army in Great Xia, and everything can be investigated by the Criminal Department." This is not salty or light, and it does not mean to excuse Wang Yangming at all.

The emperor smiled: "There are no outsiders in this room now, you don't have to talk to me." I asked you what you thought about it, and you said so. What is the relationship between you and me, do you still have to hide it?"

Boyan knew that the relationship between San Yisheng and the emperor was very special, and when he saw it with his own eyes today, he knew that the rumors were true. Wang Yangming secretly said that Master's move was to retreat into advance, so that the emperor had to make a look of "who is with whom". Hey, these people above the court, all of them are old foxes, and I'm still too tender, too tender.

Hearing this, he said, "Since the Holy One said so, I will tell the truth." Wang Yangming is my apprentice, and I knew his character before I took him as an apprentice. I'm sure he's never going to do anything like that. This must be because someone is jealous of my apprentice's ability and status, and designs to frame him. ”

The emperor laughed: "In this case, Captain Wang must have made false accusations." ”

Wang Yangming hurriedly said: "Weichen is just arguing. Weichen thinks that what my master said is still reasonable, and I am willing to accept the investigation of the Criminal Department in this matter. "This trick is called learning the same, and what you learn is to retreat and advance.

The emperor chuckled lightly and waved his hand: "It's obvious that there are things that are on the board, why waste manpower and material resources to investigate, I am not such a pedantic person." Besides, Dean San is my best friend, and Boyan is my minister, both of them vouch for you, so I have nothing to doubt. There is no need to investigate this case, and the Criminal Department closed the case as soon as possible. ”

At that moment, he summoned the eunuch Bingbi and ordered him to immediately write a receipt to Du Shaoqing, explaining that Wang Yangming was framed by Wang Zhi of the logistics battalion of the Northwest Army.

Speaking of this, the emperor turned his head to Boyan and said, "This Wang Zhi, what do you think of it?"

Boyan thought for a while and said lightly: "There is a shortage of craftsmen over there in Ningguta. ”

The emperor smiled: "You kid, you are ruthless enough. "Immediately ordered the Ministry of War to issue a document, seized all Wang Zhi's military status, fortune, and military merits, and sent him to Ningguta to repair the wall. Ten years later, he returned to the Central Plains and became civilians.

It turns out that Ningguta is in the northeast of Daxia in the forest and sea snow field, covered with ice and snow all the year round, and the climate is extremely harsh, which is much more difficult than the northwest. Therefore, the highest level of punishment for confiscation is Ningguta. Wang Zhi is gone, and his life must be difficult to protect.

The eunuchs wrote them down one by one. The emperor asked Wang Yangming again: "Is this matter just the sin of Wang Zhi alone?"

Wang Yangming remembered that the merchant who bought the goods had intended to bribe him, so he hurriedly named him. Boyan interjected: "According to the minister's understanding, Zhuang Juxian, the commander of the service battalion in the minister's army, must also be involved. It's just that how much he did is not yet known. ”

The emperor bowed his head: "It's not a sin for merchants to pursue profits, but it is unforgivable to beat the idea to my Great Xia army." And the merchant was sent to the army, and the assets of the whole family were put into the treasury. As for that Zhuang Juxian, hum, I clearly tell you that it was this person who wrote the report letter to the Criminal Department. ”
