Chapter 104: Letter from Hexi
Xu Jing looked at the military department with a sneer, and asked, "What?" Prime Minister Xiao is asking, why don't you answer? ”
"Your Majesty, I would like to talk to you only about this matter. I just ask Your Majesty to give your ministers a chance to live. ”
The military department Shangshu knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
"Could it be that Lord Xiao is also involved in this matter?"
In addition to the emperor in front of him, I am afraid that the only one who can make the military department Shangshu so fearful is Xiao Daoling, who has the same power and status as the new emperor.
For a while, hundreds of officials speculated, secretly thinking about whether the matter of Shang Shuke's deduction of military food and salary would have anything to do with Xiao Daoling.
"Your Majesty, you have also heard, and now all the officials suspect that the old minister has something to do with this matter. I also ask Your Majesty to try and return the courtier's innocence here. ”
Xiao Daoling said without fear at Xu Jingxing.
"Accurately, let's talk about when."
Xu Jing waved his hand, sat on the chair, and hooked the military department Shangshu who was kneeling in front of him with his foot.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Xiao ........."
The military department Shangshu mustered up his courage and shouted at Xu Jing.
"Lord Shangshu, be cautious in your words and deeds. If you say the wrong thing, the consequences are not small. ”
"It's your fault, don't take the lives of the family."
Xiao Daoling's eyes jumped slightly before Shangshu of the Ministry of War was about to shout his name, and he interrupted coldly.
"The minister wants to impeach Xiao Longbow, and he accepts gifts from hundreds of officials and privately goes in and out of Fengyue places with officials from all over the country."
When it came to his mouth, the military department could only swallow it hard.
Compared with Xu Jing, he was obviously more afraid of Xiao Daoling.
Xiao Daoling used his family as a threat, implying that once the military department Shangshu broke the matter, the whole clan would be buried with him!
In other words, as long as he does not pull Xiao Daoling off the horse, Xiao Daoling will protect his whole family.
The military department Shangshu knew that he was already a dead end this time, and it was better to let Xiao Daoling live with his whole clan than to offend Xiao Daoling before he died.
"That's the only one?"
Xu Jing listened to the content of the military department's book, smiled coldly, and his face was full of disbelief.
If it's just such a small piece of news, how can it be worth changing lives?
Xu Jing also noticed that it was boring, and looked at the military department with a sneer.
"No, that's all the minister knows."
The military department Shangshu nodded and replied under Xu Jing's gaze.
"Know that this kind of small news is not enough to change lives. I'll give you one more time, almost. ”
Xu Jing suppressed the anger in his heart, looked coldly at the military department Shangshu who was kneeling in front of him, and said coldly.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows only this, and he has absolutely no intention of deceiving His Majesty."
The military department Shangshu lowered his head and shouted at Xu Jing, his words full of despair.
"Where is the long bow, can you plead guilty to this matter?"
Xu Jing's face turned pale, and he questioned the crowd behind him.
"The minister is here, what the military department said is not true, the minister did go in and out of the Fengyue place, but he never accepted bribes!"
"The minister is wholeheartedly only loyal to His Majesty and the great cadres, and I ask Your Majesty to investigate!"
Xiao Longbow avoided the weight and took it lightly, and recognized the insignificant place to enter and exit Fengyue.
Although there has always been a requirement for officials not to go in and out of dusty places.
But in the past 300 years, this rule has been broken countless times.
As long as the officials have not worn official uniforms in the dusty land, even the emperor will turn a blind eye.
At most, it is only a symbolic punishment of some money, and it can only be done.
"Go down and be punished, and be confined at home for ten years. I will send someone to investigate the matter. ”
Xu Jing was not interested, waved his hand, and said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Longbow smiled proudly, bowed his head and replied with a big grin at Xu Jing.
"Someone comes, put this person in prison."
Xu Jingxing was distracted, waved his hand and sent the military department Shangshu to the edict prison.
"The old minister is here to send off His Majesty."
Xiao Daoling's old face was about to crack with a smile, and he shouted at Xu Jing arrogantly.
Xu Jing waved his hand, didn't want to say a word, and left with everyone.
"Where is the book of the household?"
Xu Jing suddenly shouted at the officials who were about to leave.
Lin Changhe quickly burst out of the crowd and came to Xu Jing: "I don't know what Your Majesty commands?" ”
"This is General You, tomorrow the two of you will hand over 500,000 stones, grain and grass. Another year's worth of military pay was also paid. ”
Xu Jing pointed to the side, You Xian said to Lin Changhe.
"No!"
Lin Changhe nodded and replied respectfully.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty's kindness will not be repaid in the end, and your Majesty will be the head of the horse in the future! ”
You Xian was so excited that he fell to his knees and shouted at Xu Jing.
He originally thought that Xu Jing called him just to eradicate the traitors with the letter in his hand, and as for the military food and salary, he probably couldn't get it.
Who would have thought that Xu Jing didn't forget this matter at all in the end, and deliberately arranged for Hubu Shangshu to dock with him.
"You don't have to be like this, you are a great soldier, and I naturally won't treat you badly."
Xu Jing waved his hand and said expressionlessly.
After finishing the master's degree, Xu Jing no longer paid attention to You Xian's gratitude, and got on the chariot and rushed to the East Palace.
On the way, Xu Jing's face was not good-looking, and his posture of wanting to eat people frightened Father-in-law Cao was silent.
It wasn't until he returned to the East Palace that Gonggong Cao cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, do you want the old slave to torture that guy again, maybe you can pry that person's mouth open." ”
Father-in-law Cao could see that Xu Jing was very disappointed.
I thought that I could follow the military department to take down Xiao Daoling.
Who would have thought that at the last moment, this guy would actually turn against him and not say anything.
"No need, since Xiao Daoling can hold it and prevent him from speaking, it is absolutely impossible for him to open his mouth in the future. When the spring of the next year begins, let's cut it. ”
Xu Jing waved his hand and said indifferently.
"What about Xu Xingcheng?"
Gonggong Cao nodded and asked.
Xu Jing thought for a while and said slowly: "Send the message out, just say that this person has broken the news." Let's see how Yecheng reacts. ”
"Minions understand." Father-in-law Cao's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again and replied.
"Alright, let's go down."
Xu Jing waved his hand and sent Gong Cao's just desire to go to the dormitory.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter sent to the Xi Zheng Palace."
A eunuch spoke at this moment.
"Where?"
Afraid that it was the military situation in Yecheng, Xu Jing asked with a slight frown.
The eunuch lowered his head and replied cautiously: "The slave is just a rough man, illiterate. It is only known that the person who sent the letter claimed to be from the Li family. ”
"The Li family?"
Xu Jing suddenly thought of the governor of Hexi, if this person sent a letter, he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of that domineering son.
"Stand down."
Xu Jing thoughtfully sent the eunuch to stride towards the Xi Zheng Palace.
In the Xi Zheng Palace, a letter was safely placed on Xu Jing's desk.
Xu Jing picked up the letter and opened it and scanned it word by word, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became.
After reading the two pages of the letter completely, the letter in his hand was already torn apart.
"Bastard! Who gave him the guts to dare to provoke me! ”
Xu Jing's angry voice sounded in the hall, so frightened that the eunuchs guarding outside the hall fell to their knees with weak legs, and trembled all over again.
