Chapter 230: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

"Your Majesty, the seal used on this fold is correct, and the payment is also carefully written, it is Liu Renzhan who personally confessed to the Dali Temple!" Feng Yanji replied with a fixed hand, and then glanced at Xu Xuan, who was standing at the head of the right.

Xu Xuan immediately understood, and hurriedly came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this excerpt has also been checked, and it is indeed as Feng Xiang said!" Moreover, Liu Renzhan also sent his parents and sons, and the soldiers and horses of the Qinghuai army made Liu Chongjian come to Beijing to face the saint, and it is estimated that there will be three or five days to arrive in Jinling. Due to Liu Renzhan's recent old injury, his son is willing to play on behalf of his father......"

Liu Renzhan's youngest son arrived in Beijing in a few days, and this sudden news undoubtedly added a heavy weight to this matter. Although there were still some officials present who did not believe that the natural general would really rebel, they also had to admit that the situation had become more and more clear in a bad direction.

Li Jing was silent, his brows twisted into a pimple. It is true that relying on a so-called confession alone taught him how to easily determine that even the young man Lang, who had high hopes for the whole country, really rebelled, and he knew Feng Yanji and his brother Feng Yanlu, who was captured by the Zhou State, two scheming brothers, he really knew too well about them, and these two people always liked to play some unknown methods.

But it is an indisputable fact that Liu Chongji came to Beijing, the Liu family has been loyal and good for generations, and it is not easy for father and son to inherit and work hard, how can they risk the felony of bullying the monarch and falsely say that a town will rebel? Could it be that Li Yuan really intended to rebel? Li Jing felt a burst of shock at this time, and the fear of Li Yuan in his heart that had been hidden for him was finally lifted to his heart, which made him shudder.

Suddenly, I remembered that some time ago, there were rumors among the people about Li Yuannai being the reincarnation of the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, even the palace was boiling, Li Jing was naturally furious, and he knew very well what kind of threat a young man who was also surnamed Li, but had extreme prestige in the country, would bring to his country, not to mention that he still had heavy troops.

If it weren't for Empress Zhong's efforts to appease, the persuasion was just a fallacy of the small people, just like the affairs of a scholar who could not be ignored, Li Jing reluctantly dispelled the idea of summoning Li Yuan to return to the court, but still decisively made some checks and balances, such as recalling all officials in Chu and prohibiting Jiangnan officials and troops from entering Chu, although this move seemed a little selfish and ruthless, and would even put Li Yuan and his Wuping army in danger.

However, soon Li Jing contradicted himself again, just because he received a series of urgent military reports from Tanzhou City, Tanzhou is more than ten days away from Jinling, and the time is so urgent, Li Jing is no longer allowed to think more, in the end, he still can't bear to give up the Chu territory in his hands, but at the same time he still wants to continue to balance Li Yuan, so he finally made the decision that he thinks is wise, and gives Li Yuan spiritual support in the way of a large-scale increase in official ranks.

It is not easy for an emperor to govern the country, but if it is not easy, he hesitates, and he has more eyes than anyone else, Li Jing is a typical example, he often falls into a strong psychological struggle for the decisions he makes, but he never regrets it. The reason why an emperor is an emperor is only because no matter whether it is right or wrong, there will always be someone to correct his name.

"I know. Ladies and gentlemen, how do you think this matter should be handled? Li Jing squinted and asked.

"Your Majesty, the rebellion of a town envoy is really not trivial! The minister suggested that Li Yuan should be immediately sent back to Jinling for interrogation, and that the Third Division should send personnel to Langzhou to find out the situation and collect relevant evidence. Shen Zhao, the servant of the ministry, said loudly.

"Yes, this should be done immediately, lest anyone tell the news! But Your Majesty, don't forget that Li Yuan has a heavy army, and he doesn't think about the emperor's great intention to rebel, so he must be ready to fight with the imperial court! The minister wished that Mao would recommend himself and lead the Shenwu Army to escort the officials of the three divisions into Chu! The privy deputy Wei Cen also stepped forward.

Shen Zhao pretended to glance at Wei Cen inadvertently, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, what Wei Envoy said is very true!" The Wei envoy is the privy deputy envoy, and he is also the commander of the army, and he is very good at military affairs. ”

Wei Cen stroked his long beard and laughed: "Hehe, that's nature!" When Benxiang led the troops, he Li Yuan was afraid that he would not be able to learn to walk! ”

Someone on the side said coldly: "Wei envoy and Shen Shilang pay attention to the system, this is the court of deliberations, but it is not a place for you to sing and harmonize!" ”

It was the privy envoy Chen Jue, who was still nominally the supreme military commander of the Southern Tang Dynasty, his face was extremely gloomy at this time, although after the defeat of the Northern Expedition, his authority had been significantly weakened by Emperor Li Jing, and even the deputy envoy Wei Cen gradually rode on his head, but the disheartened cooling did not affect his agile mind at all.

Although in recent days, he has made it clear to Feng Yanji and Zheng Wang more than once that he will no longer get involved in party disputes in order to live in peace, but today he has to open his mouth to participate in Li Yuan's rebellion, not because he cares about Li Yuan, but because once something happens to this famous general who was promoted by himself, how can he guarantee that he can get out of it? I'm afraid some people are trying to kill two birds with one stone......

Obviously, among the original "five ghosts", he and the Feng family brothers were the core rulers, and Wei Cen and Cha Wenzheng were just the last, and now just because he lost power for a while, Wei Cen from the Privy Council openly threw himself at Feng Yanji's side, to say that he did not replace his own mind, I am afraid that he is playing ghosts in the lake. This time, he can not only pull himself into the water, but also make Wei Cen make contributions, I have to say that it is really a wonderful move.

The discussion of the two was a little strange, and it seemed that the two of them had already decided that Li Yuan's rebellion was a fact! Your Majesty, in fact, I don't know how many such confessions I receive in the Privy Council every year, most of them are the work of fanatics who are sensationalist or jealous of meritocracy, and they are simply false accusations.

The actions of these two people made the minister feel very strange, why did they rush to confirm that this confession was true? Is there any mystery in such eagerness? ”

Seeing that Emperor Li Jing was silent, Wei Cen answered coldly: "Chen Envoy asked this question so strangely! How can the confessions of the three divisions be compared with those of the Privy Council? The three divisions are the land that upholds the law of the country! Feng Xiang and Xu Xiang have both verified that this is the seal of Dali Temple, could it be that you question the officials of the three divisions for deception and knowledge of the law? ”

Chen Jue replied violently: "Whether it is a fraud or not, I don't dare to talk nonsense!" But I heard that Feng Xiang's son, Feng Kang, seems to be Dali Temple, right? Coincidentally, Feng Sizhi investigated the matter in Shouzhou at this time. ”

Wei Cen swallowed his saliva and said, "What does Envoy Chen mean?" ”

"What I mean, you understand."

Feng Yanji's face on the side was flushed, and he seemed to be a little unable to suppress his weakness, after sorting out his thoughts, he raised his eyes to look at Li Jing, who was frowning and silent, and hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty is clear!" The dog Feng Kang is a straight Dali Temple, but he has always been conscientious and has never cheated for personal gain since he was an official! Your Majesty, do you remember that a few months ago you personally praised the dog's loyalty and uprightness......"

Li Jing just pursed the corners of his mouth, nodded lightly, and said, "I understand." Then he didn't say much, and seemed to fall into his own fugue again, closing his eyes and smiling.
