Shao Xi listened to what Han Zeng said, and secretly scolded him in his heart for being shameless, obviously everything was planned by him, but at this time, he still had the face to condemn himself in public, showing his loyalty and patriotism, he had seen so many shameless things, but he had never seen such shameless ones!

But scolding in his heart is scolding in his heart, and on the surface, he has to make a look of cooperating with him.

"Lord Xiangguo, the juniors know that you and the general have been officials in the same dynasty for so many years, and they cherish each other, if the juniors don't have empirical evidence in their hands, they don't dare to talk nonsense. Originally, the juniors didn't know about it, but the general's impulsive actions made the juniors find a secret letter written to the general in the Jingyuan Dynasty from the assassin by chance, and the content of the secret letter was not disclosed here, so it was better to leave it to the Holy Lord for decision! ”

At the mention of the secret letter, a hint of joy flashed in Han Zeng's eyes.

Finally, it is time to talk about the topic, although this secret letter may not make Fu Zuoliang's head fall to the ground, but it will definitely arouse Zhao Hongjin's suspicions, and from then on strip him of his power and expel him from the court and not participate in politics.

Thinking of this, Han Zeng was inexplicably excited in his heart.

Hearing this news, there was another commotion in the Pinglan Palace, and the ministers below began to talk about it again, and they didn't expect that the evidence that this Jingyuan envoy just said turned out to be a secret letter, if the content of the secret letter was true, I am afraid that Fu Zuoliang would be speechless.

Zhao Hongjin interjected at this time: "Shao Xi, you said that you found a secret letter written by Jing Yuanguo to the general from the assassin, but why did this letter appear on the assassin? Does someone have to carry this letter with him when he assassinates him? Isn't this even more proof that there is a suspicion of framing? ”

Shao Xi arched his hand and replied: "Returning to the Holy Lord, as for the specific reason why this secret letter appeared on the assassin, the envoy did not dare to speculate, but there is also a possibility, that is, the person who carried the letter was on the way back to Yongchuan City and encountered a team preparing to assassinate, so he was temporarily pulled into the team to participate in the assassination operation, and because this is a secret letter, the person who carried the letter could not clearly say that he was going to send the letter back to the city, so he could only participate in the operation, but did not want to lose his life in the operation, because others did not know that he had a secret letter, so this letter was not taken away. ”

Although this explanation cannot be said to be very reasonable, it is indeed easy for people to accept, such a confidential thing can only be leaked because of some coincidence, and the coincidence often seems unreasonable, otherwise it is not called a coincidence.

If something is explained perfectly from beginning to end, it will seem too deliberate, and it will be easier to suspect that it was designed in advance, and if there are occasional unexpected circumstances, such as some coincidences, it will be easier to believe in the truth of the matter.

Some people have exhausted all the calculations but are seen through at a glance, because they have considered all the possibilities and plugged all the loopholes, which makes people feel that this is too unreal.

Flaws are true, and imperfect plans are truly perfect plans.

At the same time as Shao Xi answered, he had already taken out the secret letter from his arms and handed it to the eunuch to hand it to Zhao Hongjin, Zhao Hongjin took the secret letter and unfolded it, read it several times, put the secret letter on the dragon case, and turned his head to look at Fu Zuoliang.

This letter does not appear to be a forgery. General, I need you to give an explanation now, neither the Emperor nor I have treated you badly, why do you collude with foreign countries to deliberately start a war and participate in the internal affairs of his dynasty? Is it really as the letter said, in the future, after the imperial power in the Jingyuan Dynasty changes hands, it will help you overthrow me and seize my Southern Zhao Jiangshan? ”

Fu Zuoliang also hurriedly walked to the center of the hall at this time, raised his hands above the top, and knelt down to the ground, his emotions were extremely excited.

"Please look into this matter, someone must have framed the old minister, the old minister really did not know the existence of such a letter, this matter must have been deliberately done, the purpose is to divide you and my monarch and the minister from the fisherman, the holy lord must not be easily believed. The old minister's loyalty to Nanzhao can feel the heaven and the earth, but to the sun and the moon, the old minister has never had two hearts since he followed the first emperor, and he did not hesitate to go to the soup for the sake of my Nanzhao Jiangshan Sheji old minister, and he did not give up, and he also hoped that the holy lord would be clear, and the old minister would be innocent. ”

Zhao Hongjin nodded, put on an attitude of handling this matter carefully, turned his head and said to Shao Xi: "Shao Xi, did you hear that?" The general also said that he had never read this letter, and he did not even know that it existed, and since he did not even know about it, how could he talk about this deliberate collusion and rebellion? Could it be that some people in the Jingyuan Dynasty wanted to seek power with the help of the general, so they wrote a letter with the intention of bribing the general, and the general himself did not know about it? You found this letter from the Assassin, even if he is the person who sent it, the fact that this letter has not reached the general does not prove that the general is disloyal to me, right? ”

Han Zeng came up and pretended to be a good person at this time, and agreed with Zhao Hongjin's words: "What the Holy Lord said is very true! Since this letter has not reached the hands of the general, it cannot prove that the general colluded with foreign countries, and it cannot be said that others want to cooperate with the general, which means that the general is cooperating with others, right? Isn't that wronging a good man? Lao Chen also felt that there was still something to discuss in this matter. ”

Seeing that Zhao Hongjin and Han Zeng both said this, the civil and military ministers in the palace also echoed.

For them, it doesn't really matter who is right or wrong, the important thing is that they must choose the right position at this time, if the butt is crooked, there must be no good fruit to eat behind, so they all agree loudly, and some even chant "Holy Lord Shengming".

These people's thoughts are also quite shameless, that is, no matter who is right or wrong between you Xiangguo and the general, there will always be nothing wrong with standing on the emperor's side.

No matter which dynasty, generation, or country, the vast majority of the ministers in the court are people who are wise and wise to protect their lives and eat vegetarian food, and those who are really worried about the country and the people, and those who can become the pillars of the country will always be a minority, but it is these few people who have worked hard all their lives, and it is precisely the group of people who have done nothing in the end who enjoy the results.

Shao Xi saw that the plot of this scene was played by several of them so tightly, and he also had momentum at this time.

He stepped forward and said to Zhao Hongjin and Han Zeng: "As the Holy Lord and Xiangguo said, it is true that this letter has not reached the hands of the great general, and it is indeed impossible to prove what the great general has done, but now the problem lies with the person who carried the letter. If the person carrying the letter is a person from Jingyuan Kingdom, then everything can be explained, but the person who carried the letter is a native of Nanzhao, a soldier of Southern Zhao, and also participated in the assassination of the mission, and the assassination of the mission is the chief envoy of the general, which proves that the person carrying the letter is a person under the general, since this person is a person of the general, it proves that this secret letter was handed over to this person through the hand of the person who sent the letter from Jing Yuanguo, and this person went to receive this secret letter. So, here's the suspicion, if the general didn't know about it, why did he send his own men to receive this letter? Since he took the initiative to send someone to receive this letter, it proves that the general had already had contact with the people in the Jingyuan Dynasty, and taking the initiative to send someone to receive this letter is to know the next plan. That's why I said that the general and my people in the court secretly had bad intentions, I don't know if I said it clearly enough? ”

After Shao Xi's analysis, Zhao Hongjin and Han Zeng both felt that this statement was very reasonable, originally the purpose of the two was to confirm Fu Zuoliang's collusion with foreign countries, at this time, since Shao Xi had already given such a reasonable statement, if they were entangled endlessly, it would be tantamount to making trouble for themselves, so at this time, both of them were speechless, causing an irrefutable state for Shao Xi's statement.

The purpose of this is nothing more than to convince His Highness's ministers that they will no longer raise any objections.

At this time, Fu Zuoliang stared at Shao Xi with two big eyes, if it wasn't planned before, he really suspected that Shao Xi was helping Han Zeng frame him.

Shao Xi made something out of nothing, and his ability to fabricate facts is really not ordinary, and he really said that a thing made up out of thin air had a nose and eyes, as if it had really happened.

Fu Zuoliang was afraid for a while at this time! Fortunately, he cooperated with Shao Xi, otherwise if this kid really wanted to frame himself, even if he was full of mouths, he probably wouldn't be able to say clearly.

From the first time he met Shao Xi and said the whole plan to help him deal with Han Zeng, to the current Shao Xi using secret letters to complete this plan, the whole process can be said to be seamless and flawless, and no one could have imagined that he would be in a group with Fu Zuoliang.

Terrible! This young man in front of him is really terrifying! Now that I think about it, the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries is not a bad thing, otherwise if someone like Shao Xi wants to deal with Nan Zhao, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Nan Zhao to find a person who can compete with him.

At this time, there was silence in the Pinglan Palace, and even the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard, and everyone didn't dare to speak, Fu Zuoliang was now powerless to refute, just waiting for Zhao Hongjin to make a final decision.

Although this situation was planned, Fu Zuoliang still felt that he was very cowardly, and he was so inexplicably accused of treason and rebellion, not to mention whether he wanted to explain it or not, he couldn't explain it at all now, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

Zhao Hongjin sighed heavily, picked up the secret letter on the dragon case and looked at it, and finally put down the secret letter as if he had made a lot of determination, and looked up at Fu Zuoliang.

"General, now that the human and material evidence is there, I don't think you need to make any more excuses about this matter. Back then, the emperor regarded you as a brother, and now I also regard you as an uncle, but I don't want you to do such a thing, which is really disappointing to me, but I remember that you are an old minister of the previous dynasty, and Yu Xianhuang and Yu I are quite kind, so I don't want to embarrass you. From now on, you will be stripped of the post of Auxiliary Minister, and you will return to the army if you are from your own army! It is your duty to lead troops to war, I will keep your position as a general, and return to Haicheng, where I was stationed back then, to help me train my troops! Remembering that you are old and a meritorious veteran, I will arrange for the Red and Purple Banner Guards to go to Haicheng with you, hoping that you will cultivate your mind and temperament in the future, reflect on yourself, and do it for yourself. ”
