Chapter 1009 Chips

Prince Liao carefully looked at the package of so-called incriminating transcripts and looked up at Zhao Mo: "These things... are not true!"

There is no basis for saying that.

The private sale of military supplies and weapons was something that the troops directly under the King of Liao had, and even his son was involved in it. He couldn't prevent it and had no intention of stopping it. Although he had the military power in Liaodong, he wanted his subordinates to be loyal to him.

How can you not give others some benefits if you work hard? The border has been peaceful for decades, and now there are only a few small-scale wars every year, which does not cost much. The soldiers have been guarding the border for a long time, and Liaodong is a bitter cold place. They thought

It is human nature to want to live a better life.

He himself had never done private trade with the Beirong, but he knew in his heart that someone in the fiefdom must have done it. Because the war had happened decades ago, and the small groups of Beirong people who went south to harass every year,

It is not a fixed group. There are always places where the people of the two countries trade with each other privately. The Beirong people can exchange cattle, sheep, horses, medicinal materials or other local products for what they want without using force, which is more conducive to maintenance.

Peace on the border. In addition to ordinary people, there are also merchants who quietly do business with the Beirong people, and even people from the army are involved. The King of Liao cannot easily block other people's financial paths, and people in the palace do business with outside merchants.

He didn't care where the latter sold the goods, whether to the north or the south. What he could control was to prohibit people in the fief from selling copper, iron and other items to the enemy. Ordnance was also prohibited.

Forbidden. But then again, if someone really does this, he may not know it. Liaodong is so big, how can we ensure that everyone abides by the rules? In recent years, his influence in the Liaodong Army has declined, let alone

Already.

The embezzlement of military expenditures cannot be explained clearly. The military expenditures allocated by the imperial court every year are not in full, but the full amount is always written on the documents. The King of Liao knew that he was not favored by the emperor, and he was not favored by the emperor.

There are no supporters, so what can be done about this? And the King of Liao hopes that his die-hard subordinates can be treated better, so military expenditures must be biased towards his own people. For those soldiers who are not very obedient to him, they will be distributed.

Naturally, the military expenditure will be less. And how many of the entire Liaodong Army are free of charge? It is unclear whether he is in charge of the Liaodong Army, so how can the Beirong people know? I am afraid it is a fabrication.

As for killing good people and claiming merit, the King of Liao could only say that he had not done it himself, but he could not guarantee that others had not done it. Because it was not that he had never heard of such a thing in the army, and he had also done it because of one of his subordinates in the past.

The young military attache was eager to gain promotion through meritorious service, and committed such a big mistake, and was ordered to be executed. On the surface, he would of course strictly prohibit it, but in the vast and sparsely populated border area, who could guarantee the so-called killing of all the soldiers in the Liaodong Army?

Among the Beirong enemies, none of them were killed by mistake? Now these evidences were produced by the Beirong people. They may not know whether the Liaodong Army killed Liang, but as long as they want to deny the identity of some of the Beirong people who were killed,

He insisted that the latter were common people of Dazhao. What could the King of Liao do to them? Could he still ask the Beirong people to testify for him?

To sum up, regarding the evidence, even the King of Liao himself cannot guarantee that his subordinates have not done those things. Even if the evidence is false, as long as the court sends a reliable person to Liaodong to investigate carefully, he is guaranteed to be caught.

A handful of pigtails could make it impossible for the King of Liao to defend himself. He felt extremely guilty when he said what he said, but he couldn't admit it. Because if he really admitted these crimes, there might no longer be a palace for the King of Liao in this world.

King Liao looked at Zhao Mo and said with a stiff face: "This thing...has been presented to the emperor? Has the emperor...said anything? Didn't you tell the emperor that this thing...is all fake?!"

Zhao Mo looked at the King of Liao indifferently: "Your Majesty, I was still young when I left Liaodong. How could I have ever been involved in military affairs? Besides, it has been several years and I have never returned to Liaodong. Even if I defend the Lord,

The emperor won't believe it." He paused, "What's more, even if the emperor knows that these things are fake, what can he do? If he wants this thing to become real, then it is real. Your Majesty should

You don’t think that... the news revealed by the Chen family earlier are really unfounded rumors, right? No matter how Chen Liangdi’s status in the East Palace is not as good as before, she is still a person close to His Highness the Crown Prince, and the news is better than that of the prince and princess outside.

Someone who is more knowledgeable."

The face of King Liao became more and more ugly. He understood what Zhao Mo meant by what he said. If the emperor wanted to deal with the Prince of Liao's Mansion, even if the thing was fake, it would become real. What's more, the Prince of Liao's Mansion itself was not innocent.

?He has always had a bad relationship with the emperor, and he does not know how to make friends with powerful ministers in the court to help him. He once had an eldest son who was somewhat respectable in front of the emperor, but now he has lost his favor. Everything is simply not going well. Where did he come from?

Confident, thinking that the emperor would not be cruel to him or remove his title?

Liaodong is such a large piece of land, it has military power, and the border has been peaceful for a long time. I am afraid that the emperor and the court have long wanted to take back this fiefdom, but there is no good reason to offend him, the fiefdom owner, for fear of causing criticism from the clan.

Now, isn’t this all good reason? People in the clan will not think that the emperor is mean and ungrateful, they will only think that it is their own fault that the Liao Prince’s Palace brought upon themselves!

But the King of Liao was unwilling to give in. He asked Zhao Mo: "Even if the emperor is cruel, you...since you are my grandson, can't you say a good word for the Liao Palace? Now that your holy family is prosperous, what can you say, the emperor can't do it?"

If the emperor doesn't listen to someone who can listen to a word or two, then... what about His Royal Highness?! He is always willing to listen, right?!"

Zhao Mo's eyes flashed slightly, his expression gradually became colder, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty, which thing do you want me to plead for? Is it the Liao Prince's Palace, or the second uncle? What is my status to the royal family? How much pity can the emperor have on me?

It may not be because I am lonely and helpless, but it is probably because I am aware of current affairs. If I know clearly what the emperor has planned, but still want to disobey the holy will, even if the emperor once had great trust in me, I am afraid that it will be wrong.

Are you going to feel unhappy? If you offend the emperor, I will have a small future. It would be terrible if I missed the important event of the palace!"

The expression of the King of Liao suddenly changed, and he did not dare to force Zhao Mo anymore. He could hear some threats. Now the palace of the King of Liao was full of pigtails, and Zhao Li had not cleared his name. His position as the King of Liao was already unstable.

Well, if Zhao Mo, the only one who still has some face in front of the emperor, is angered at this time, it may not be easy for Zhao Mo to plead for mercy, but it is easy to add insult to injury. He really can't tell the difference between him and this grandson.

There is no love, but there are quite a lot of grudges.

After thinking about it, the King of Liao simply gritted his teeth and said: "In fact, you know very well that these so-called evidences are all left by the Beirong people. You don't need to think too much to know that they are not credible! This is the conspiracy of the Beirong people.

They want to take the opportunity to retaliate against our Liao Palace, because the Liao Palace has guarded the border for decades and blocked their way south. They framed the Liao Palace for evil intentions! Brother Mo, you need to explain the details of this to the emperor clearly. Don't

Let the emperor be confused and do something wrong!"

Zhao Mo raised his head and looked at him: "Your Majesty, do you want me to report the truth about how my second uncle was deceived, and how my father took Lan Xue as his concubine and Lan Fusheng as his servant?"

King Liao's expression changed again and he stopped talking. If all these things were reported... I'm afraid that King Liao's palace would also be unable to escape the charges.

Is it possible that they are completely at their wits' end?!

The King of Liao sat down on his seat with a dejected look on his face, despairing in his heart.

Zhao Mo then softened his expression and said warmly: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much, the matter is actually not at a dead end."

King Liao's eyes lit up and he looked up hopefully.

Zhao Mo smiled slightly: "It's just that for some things, you have to pay a price. This time, the Liao Palace has certainly fallen into the trap of the Beirong people, but if it is innocent and impeccable, there is no need to rush. In this case, in order to save

My second uncle has escaped a serious crime, but the prince will definitely suffer some losses."

The King of Liao asked him calmly: "If we can really save your second uncle, and let everyone in the royal family survive this disaster safely, I will take it as a small loss!"

Zhao Mo smiled lightly and said: "Since the prince is so cheerful, I won't hold back. You know, what the emperor wants most is to take back the Liaodong fiefdom, which also means that you can no longer hold the power of Liaodong. But... that doesn't mean that

There will be no way out for everyone in the Liao Palace. You can keep the title of King of Liao, take your whole family back to the capital for a long time, and hand over the power of the fiefdom to the court, or you can change the fiefdom to another one and return Liaodong to the emperor."

Seeing the expression of resistance on King Liao's face, Zhao Mo quickly added: "If you can understand and let the emperor get his wish, how can he make it happen? You are the late emperor's son after all, and the emperor's

Even if he is his own brother and sister, he will be kind to you and your descendants, even if he is shown to the world and the clan."

The King of Liao was startled for a moment, and he had already understood what he meant, but his eyes immediately showed doubts: "The emperor asked you to say these words to me? Are you here to help him as a lobbyist? I am the same after all.

Don’t you feel guilty that your biological grandfather did such a thing and betrayed his father and ancestors in order to embrace the emperor?!"

Zhao Mo looked indifferent: "I can't stop my father from taking concubines and servants. I also suffered a lot from the brother and sister. My second uncle was deceived and involved in a murder case. It was also not what I wanted. Afterwards, I

I also helped out a lot. I really don’t know when I turned my back on my father and ancestors. I just wanted to redeem the mistakes made by my elders. The prince said that I came to lobby for the emperor, but in fact, I was not working for the prince.

Be a lobbyist? I just want to intercede for the Liao Palace in front of the emperor. I must have some chips in my hand. Otherwise, how can I persuade the emperor to show his favor? If the prince doesn't believe me, I can't. Anyway, I already have it.

I have lost my title and fiefdom. Whether the Liao Palace is good or bad has nothing to do with me. Even if my father's sins are discovered, I will not be implicated. There is no need to be thankless. The reason why I am still talking nonsense here,

I just want to do my best for the prince, my father and my second uncle because of my blood relationship."

He bowed to the King of Liao and turned around to leave. His posture was indescribably free and easy, as if he really didn't care.

But the King of Liao couldn't be free and easy and had to be careful. He hurriedly called Zhao Mo: "Good boy, I misunderstood you, don't leave!" He gritted his teeth, "We can discuss it again!"

Zhao Mo turned his back to him, stopped, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a faint smile.
