Chapter 239: True and False Grievances
The next day, Yan Song was surprised to find that Jiajing seemed to have forgotten about yesterday's events, and even the emotions he had when he retired from the court yesterday were gone.
This is not right, Donglou clearly said that Jiajing should mention this matter today, and then he can take the opportunity to add some more fierce news.
However, although Jiajing did not mention it, since it was a court meeting, he would definitely continue to discuss how to deal with the Tatar affairs, and there were many opportunities to guide the topic by himself.
Sure enough, Ding Rukui came up and continued yesterday's topic, asking Jiajing to give him the right to mobilize some troops and horses out of the city to meet the enemy. Yan Song immediately seized the opportunity to revisit yesterday's views.
"Now that Xiao Feng's suspicion has not been cleared, how can he believe what he said before he set out for the expedition? Lord Ding is so stubborn, but is there any selfishness? ”
Ding Rukui has not yet spoken, and Lu Bing, who deliberately went to court today, has already spoken.
"Lord Shoufu, the Jinyi Guard spy has sent news that the killing of good and risky deeds was done by the Tatars, not the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty."
Yan Song was stunned for a moment, this was slightly different from the route predicted by his son, but he was ready to do a lot of things, and asked with a sneer.
"Lord Lu, are you saying that those old people who escaped at the risk of death are lying? Why would they do this? ”
Lu Bing repeated what his brocade guard spy said in the court, the courtiers' eyes widened, and Ding Rukui was even more regretful.
"Xiao Zhenren fell into the hands of the enemy, this, how should this be?"
Yan Song didn't expect Lu Bing's news to come so quickly, but Yan Shifan had made a plan for this matter. Because he knew that if Xiao Feng was arrested, sooner or later the capital would know.
"Lord Lu, of course you trust your Jinyiwei, but the old man doesn't know something.
Since the two brocade guards were captured by the Tatars and released back, they were very suspicious in themselves.
It is almost child's play to say that the Tatars were released because of Xiao Feng's kneeling. What's more, Xiao Fengyan is above the top, and it is unbelievable that he knelt down for two pro-soldiers for no reason.
Even if Xiao Feng really did this, isn't it more likely that these two people are grateful for Xiao Feng's life-saving grace and agree to help Xiao Feng cover up the killing of Liang and lie to you, Lord Lu?
If this is the case, the words of the two of them cannot be trusted at all! Even if Xiao Feng is not a spy, he can't get rid of the suspicion of killing good and taking credit! ”
Jiajing frowned, what Yan Song said was not unreasonable, at least logically, what he said was indeed more likely and reasonable. Jiajing believed Xiao Feng from the bottom of his heart, but he needed more evidence to maintain his judgment.
Lu Bing was silent for a moment: "Lord Shoufu, I don't dare to boast that all the Jinyi guards will never deceive me.
But these two people are carefully selected by me, and I dare to guarantee with my life that even if they die, they will not deceive me. ”
Yan Song smiled and pointed to the outside of the West Garden.
"Long live, it's not just those old men who accuse Xiao Feng of killing good and risking his merits! At the Liutai Office of the Criminal Department, he received the report of three officers, all of whom escaped from the cavalry reinforcements!
They also accused Xiao Feng and Qi Jiguang of committing murder, they couldn't look past it and tried to stop it, but they were labeled as a traitor by Xiao Feng and tried to kill them!
Fortunately, the Tatars attacked the camp at that time, and the scene was chaotic, so the three of them were able to escape death and come back to reveal Xiao Feng's true face!
Long live the minister, allow this Liutai to bring these three people to face the king! ”
Jiajing hesitated, but nodded. Yan Song brought everyone here, and Jiajing really wanted to understand that he was confident in his IQ, and there were not many people who could deceive him in person.
The three officers had lost their armor and were covered in scars, looking very miserable.
They tearfully accused Xiao Feng and Qi Jiguang of losing the battle in front of the Tatars, and met the mountain village on the way to retreat.
The captain of the thousand people finally cried blood and shouted: "The three of us tried to stop us, but Xiao Feng took us down and wanted to kill people!" Heaven had mercy, the Tatars attacked the camp, and the three of us took advantage of the chaos to escape!
We died nine times and returned to the capital to expose Xiao Feng and Qi Jiguang with human faces and beast hearts! ”
Listening to what the three of them said, it was also a reason, and for a while, except for Ding Rukui, who resolutely did not believe it, the other ministers were embarrassed and didn't know how to express their attitudes.
Yan Song looked at Lu Bing while the iron was hot: "You said that your Jinyi Wei would not deceive you, but I would like to ask, if these three people are really as your Jinyi Wei said, they are spies."
Then after they escaped, they should have stayed in the Tatar army, why should they come back to die?
There is no circumstantial evidence on both sides of this matter, is it credible that the officer who escaped death and ran back to expose Xiao Feng is credible, or is your two Jinyi guards who came out of Xiao Feng's knees credible? ”
These words are really vicious, Yan Song did not entangle Xiao Feng for a spy first, but bit to death and kill the good and risky work.
In the absence of circumstantial evidence on both sides, the officer who has no grudge against Xiao Feng is naturally more credible than the Jinyi guard who has received Xiao Feng's life-saving grace.
Lu Bing also fell silent, he didn't have more powerful evidence at this time to prove that the words of the two brocade guards were true.
Thaksin is useless, Yan Song also understands Jiajing's suspicions, the key is that everything is reasonable, and the performance of these three officers seems to be quite real, so Jiajing has to consider this possibility.
Yesterday, Lu Bing's explanation made Jiajing sure that Xiao Feng would not be a spy. But killing good and risking merit, this kind of thing has happened in all dynasties. Although Jiajing has never been on the battlefield, he is familiar with history books.
People change on the battlefield, and many people are very kind and shy in life, but when they arrive on the battlefield, they suddenly change dramatically, and they are bloodthirsty like crazy.
Xiao Feng had never been on the battlefield, and he was suddenly stimulated by the bloody battle, his eyes were red, and he lost his mind for a while, and it was not completely impossible to slaughter the village.
After Xiao Feng sobers up, with his IQ, he will definitely quickly find a way to make up for it, and it is undoubtedly the best plan to say that the slain villagers are Tatar ambushes.
Jiajing forgave Xiao Feng in his heart, it was he who pushed this inexperienced junior brother to the battlefield, even if Xiao Feng really went crazy for a while, he decided not to pursue it.
But Qi Jiguang, you are not my junior brother, and you can't help me become an immortal. Xiao Feng has no experience, what are you doing? When he goes crazy, do you go crazy too?
It's not from the bottom of my heart that I want to kill the good and take the risk, and deceive the king! So if this is true, you will definitely be going to be cut off all over the house!
Yan Song sneered slightly, in this game, his son won half of it. I heard that Qi Jiguang had been forced to go in the direction of Gubeikou, and he would definitely be wiped out there.
Even if he escapes by chance, what awaits him when he comes back will be a great crime of killing good and risking merit!
As for Xiao Feng, with Yan Song's understanding of Jiajing, as long as it can be proved that Xiao Feng is not a spy, Jiajing will not treat Xiao Feng well.
But with such an inscrub that is difficult to wash, he will never want to go to the court in the future, so he can only honestly hide in Jiajing's shadow and be a manual for cultivating immortals.
Of course, the cost of winning this game is very high, and the consequence of self-destruction of the Great Wall is that the Tatars will drive straight in, and may rob the capital of the surrounding area. But what does that matter?
The Tatars are nothing more than rogues, and they will leave when they are done. The people are like leeks, after cutting a stubble, they will soon grow again.
At that time, the capital will still be a prosperous capital, long live or a wise one, the first assistant will still rely on the first assistant, and the strict party will once again become the mainstay of the court!
Just when everyone was thinking about it, Xiao Haruko outside the door hurriedly ran to the door and signaled to Huang Jin that there was something urgent. After Huang Jin asked Jiajing, he asked Xiao Chunzi to come in and tell him.
"Long live Qiyu, Yin Guojun of Shuntian Mansion, with more than 70 officers and soldiers, knelt outside Xiyuan to ask for a decree to avenge Xiao Feng and Qi Jiguang's murder of Liang and Gonggong!"
Yan Song was taken aback, and Liu Tai was also stunned. The faces of the three officers who were impassioned suddenly turned pale.
Jiajing opened his eyes suddenly, then closed them slightly, and the corners of his mouth provoked a hint of a smile.
"Lu Bing, there are more than seventy people, you go, let Guo Jun bring five people in, and the others are waiting outside the West Garden."
Some people died, but not completely......
