Chapter 684: Zijiu's Strategy (2)
"Zijiu, Li Aiqing handed me an excerpt early in the morning, and the excerpt is hundreds of words, all of which are for you." Jinghe Emperor's Road.
"I don't know what the minister did wrong to make Lord Li bother so much?" Ning Yi said.
"Du Chashi Li Lin's participation in you has committed the crime of defrauding the king." Emperor Jing He said in a light tone.
"Father, such a big crime, even if the minister has the courage to commit it, he will not dare to commit it." Ning Yi looked at Li Lin, "I don't know Lord Li, what kind of crime I committed to deceive the king?" ”
"Lord Ning, you deceived the king and shielded the condemned prisoners. Are you suspicious and privately raising dead soldiers, is it considered a crime of deceitful king? Li Lin said.
"It's still a little unclear below, please explain it to Li Da." Ning Yi said.
"Lord Ning, when Rong Zheng was beheaded, the Cao Yun Ji family led people to rob the prisoners, and the emperor had already ordered that he should be severely punished. Lord Ning not only secretly let Ji Ting go, pardoned the Ji family, but also incorporated all the Cao Yun sailors of the Ji family. ”
"Those sailors, all of them have strong martial arts, and they are clearly the private soldiers who were raised by Rong Zheng."
"Your Majesty, Ning Yi dared to use those rebellious private soldiers, and he didn't know what his purpose was? Its intentions are really sinister! Li Lin said.
Li Lian thought that if he said this, Emperor Jinghe should be angry, who knew that Emperor Jinghe just twisted his eyebrows, but did not speak.
Ning Yi was calm and calm, "How did Master Li know that Ji Ting is not dead, and the Ji family has a private soldier who Rong is raising?" ”
"I have my own wire report, the emperor has a very important matter, please ask the emperor to investigate it strictly." Li Lindao.
Emperor Jinghe's face was not very good, and he asked Ning Yi, "Zijiu, Ji Ting was executed by you?" ”
"Your Majesty, you are indeed executed." Ning Yi replied, "As for why the Ji family was punished lightly, it was because the minister found out that Ji Laozi did not know that Ji Ting would commit a great crime of disrespect to save Rong Zheng, and the minister had investigated the matter of robbing the prisoner and it really had nothing to do with the rest of the Ji family. ”
The Ji family also promised that starting from this year, they would be willing to hand over 60% of Caoyun's annual income to the court as a tribute. Coupled with the three generations of Cao Yun of the Ji family, the sailors trained by the Ji family can be called first-class sailors, and it is difficult to find someone more suitable for running Cao Yun than the Ji family. Therefore, the minister thinks that the Ji family has the heart to repent, and it is enough to execute Ji Ting and the robbers of that day. ”
"The Ji family is not a great crime, I think that the Ji family Cao Yun Zeng helped my army go north, so that the emperor and I could successfully occupy Da'an, and it is okay to be open to the Li family." Jinghe Emperor's Road.
"Your Majesty!" Li Li was shocked by the emperor's reaction, how could he think that the emperor knew everything.
Fang Xianrong and Bai Feihuai glanced at each other, they were both close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and seeing the emperor's reaction, they already understood a little.
"The matter of the Ji family, don't blame Zijiu, Li Qing, you don't have to say much." Jinghe Emperor's Road.
"But Your Majesty, Ji Ting is indeed alive, and the Ji family does have private soldiers, and those private soldiers are only afraid that they belong to Lord Ning at all." Li Lindao.
"Master Li, I have already executed Ji Ting that day, I remember that Lord Fang had a dignitary to the Shenji Camp that day, and I said at that time that Ji Ting had been executed. His corpse was disposed of along with all the other robbers, Lord Fang, do you remember this? Ning Yi looked at Fang Xianrong.
"It is true." Fang Xianrong replied, "Chen did go to the Shenji Camp, and Lord Ning did execute Ji Ting. ”
Emperor Jing He said and looked at Li Lin, his eyes were cold.
"Master Li, you said that Ji Ting is not dead, did you see it with your own eyes? Or do you have witnesses? Where did you see that? It can't be a dazzle! Ning Yi said.
"The emperor's ......" Li Lian believes that this matter is very important, although he has no evidence of guilt, but the relationship between Ning Yi and the Ji family is too ambiguous now, and he brought it up like this, it is impossible for the emperor not to be suspicious.
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has always liked to hear about rumors, but the stakes are very high, Lord Li has no evidence, and he sued in front of the saint, I think Lord Li can be punished for your heart and falsely accuse the loyal ministers." Ning Yi said.
"The witness only glanced at it, but I heard about the funeral that the Ji family held for Ji Ting, but no one saw Ji Ting's body. Some people even saw the Ji family laughing, and there was no sense of grief. Li Lin said.
"I still heard it!" Ning Yi sneered, "Didn't I say it just now?" Ji Ting's body was disposed of by me, and it was normal for no one to see it. In addition, Ji Ting almost killed the Ji family, and it is not difficult to understand that the Ji family has no grief when he dies. ”
"Ning Yi, you're just quibbling!" Li Lian said angrily.
"If you talk about quibbles, how can Ning Zijiu be as good as Lord Li's empty mouth and white teeth?" Ning Yi asked rhetorically.
"Alright." Emperor Jing He interrupted him.
"I believe that Zijiu will not release people without permission, Liu Qing, I'm afraid that your witnesses are wrong. There is no need to mention this matter again. ”
"Your Majesty, those private soldiers of the Ji family ......"
"Li Lin, the Ji family has been transported for three generations, there are hundreds of ships, and there are many natural sailors. Although I have allowed the Metropolitan Procuratorate to hear about things, I can't bite and make accusations at will. Otherwise, I will punish you for false accusation. "Jinghe Emperor.
Li Lin was stunned!
He thinks that the emperor is the most taboo for his courtiers to raise private soldiers, Ning Yi has raised thousands of private soldiers in the Ji family like this, and the emperor has no doubt at all, but blames himself.
"Your Majesty, Lord Li is only doing the supervision duty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, presumably he is not targeting Lord Ning." Bai Feihuai said.
"I know that Li Qing is loyal, this matter is over, Zijiu, you stay, and the others retreat." Jinghe Emperor's Road.
"The ministers are leaving."
Li Li was a little unwilling, could it be because Ning Yi was a concubine, so the emperor trusted him extra and was extra tolerant?
After the other ministers retreated, Emperor Jinghe said, "Zijiu, didn't I tell you that those private soldiers of the Ji family, you have to keep a low profile and not be noticed?" ”
"Father, Ji Ting went to the court to rob people, and the whole Dong'an City knew about it, and everyone was staring at the Ji family. There are so many sailors on the ships of the Ji family, it is inevitable that they will attract attention, and the minister will act in a low-key manner in the future. ”
Ning Yi, the private soldier of the Ji family, told Emperor Jinghe that he believed that the Ji family's private soldiers and sailors were numerous, and they had spread all over the ports of Middle-earth.
It is better to punish the Ji family than to use the Ji family, after Ji Zhen handed over the list of all the private soldiers of the Ji family, he gave it to the emperor.
The emperor didn't want too many people to know about this, and the Ji family was also dealt with in a low-key manner, and Li Li actually participated in front of the emperor, but he actually committed the emperor's taboo.
"Is Ji Ting dead after all?"
"Naturally, it's dead." Ning Yi replied, "Lord Li is only afraid that he will be deceived by someone with a heart, the stakes are very high, the holy decree of his father and the emperor, how can the minister leave Ji Ting's life." ”
"I'm sure you won't." Jinghe Emperor's Road.
"The Holy Sisters in Red want to go back to Lapan City, I have already approved it, and I will send someone to send them back." Jinghe Emperor's Road.
Ning Yi heard this, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince ran away, I'm afraid that he has something to do with the red-clothed saint sisters, and the emperor will let them go back, is it inappropriate?" ”
