Chapter 555: True and False(1/2)
The map has been presented to the Chengbi Palace. Li Xia pointed at the map and talked about the Mongolian war in Guanlong.
"Hunduhai has marched out of Liupan Mountain and joined Alan Dal'er in Ganzhou. The person facing him is Wang Weizheng. Asutai is forcing his troops to Qinchuan, and Liu Heima, Shi Tianze and Zhang Rouzheng are besieging Asotai. I think that,
The outcome of this battle lies with the Gongchang Wang family..."
Ding Daquan asked: "Why?"
Li Xia was stunned, as if he didn't know how to answer.
Zhao Yun said calmly: "Shi Tianze has already blocked Tongguan and Asotai is surrounded on three sides. If he does not receive support from the Hundu Sea, he will retreat to the west. Before that, if Wang Weizheng can block the Hundu Sea, Kublai Khan can keep Jingzhao."
The house is not lost."
Li Xia said: "This is exactly the reason, Your Majesty is wise."
All the ministers said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhao Yun seemed to have returned to the Duanping period, when he was planning to regain the three capitals, he seemed very wise and powerful.
He pointed at Li Xia and said: "You said Kublai Khan was at a disadvantage... you were wrong."
"I am stupid."
"In my opinion, if Kublai Khan can survive three or five years in a barbaric land where Ali and Buge live, he can easily change his position with the help of the taxes from the Han region."
"Your Majesty has a clear warning."
Zhao Yun shook his head, his mood waning.
I thought that no matter what I did, it wouldn't change much.
He was able to succeed to the throne from a declining clan, regain power from Shi Miyuan, reform, destroy the Jin Dynasty, Northern Dynasty, fight against the Mongols... He was never mediocre.
By now, I'm tired.
Because of this, he neglected his duties, so court officials always asked him, "Does your Majesty want to be Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty?"
The courtiers did not understand his fatigue.
Now that he understood Kublai Khan's situation, Zhao Yun already had a plan in mind and was too lazy to ask more about things to the north.
I'm still busy tonight, and I have to discuss too much with the governors.
Zhao Yun then encouraged Li Xia a few more words, and finally said: "I will give you a banquet another day, please step aside."
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and I will retire."
Li Xia saluted and was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone say another word.
"Your Majesty, I have also received a piece of evidence that Li Zhi set an envoy to collaborate with the enemy..."
~~
Rao Huchen already felt that exposing Li Xia tonight was a bit rash.
The evidence that Li Xia collaborated with the enemy is clearly true.
It couldn't be more true.
However, the evidence that Zong Wenrui, Cai Zhu and others collaborated with the enemy is also true.
Among the generals from the three sides, how many actually collaborated with the enemy?
True and false, there are too many crimes of collaborating with the enemy, but they all look false.
This matter is too ridiculous.
But if what Li Xia said is true... How could Kublai Khan's Jinlianchuan shogunate be so capable?
Why don't you make the officials of the Song Dynasty and Manchu Dynasty ashamed?
Fortunately, there was something that made Rao Huchen very happy tonight - His Majesty was finally willing to cheer up and resume his heroic demeanor.
This is how it should be. Your Majesty should personally take care of side affairs! Instead of leaving the government affairs to the people of Ding Daquan and only singing and dancing every day.
In this case, the evidence can be brought out and let the Sacred Heart decide.
If Li Xia is really a loyal minister and good general, this move is also to protect Li Xia; if he is ambitious, His Majesty should be aware of it earlier.
…
"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the gift letter from Li Xia to Zhang Rou. I have verified it..."
Zhao Yun watched as Rao Huchen took out the box, opened it, and started chattering.
He just felt bored.
Why do these ministers never understand? The duty of a minister is to do things for the emperor, not to cause trouble for the emperor.
State affairs were already heavy, and he was impatient to listen to Rao Huchen analyzing this box full of documents sentence by sentence.
Li Xia collaborates with the enemy?
Li Xia has everything wrong with him. Li Xia has a rift with the loyal king, colludes with traitors, is young and has no qualifications but is in a high position, and is arrogant and rude to the king... It's so unpleasant!
But it will not sneak into Mongolia.
Zhao Yun can be sure of this.
"Your Majesty, please look at this map again. If Li Xia marries Gao, Zhang, and the three surnames live in the west..."
"Stay here."
Zhao Yun suddenly raised his hand to stop Rao Huchen's chatter and turned to Li Xia.
Li Xia quickly saluted and was about to speak.
Zhao Yun has asked: "Do you understand the painstaking efforts of Mr. Rao?"
Li Xia said: "I understand that Mr. Rao did not wait for me to retire before taking out these... He wanted to give me a chance to explain, so I can explain."
"No need."
Zhao Yun pointed to the box and said: "Take it with you and step back. You and I are kings and ministers, and I will not resort to such despicable tricks as the Sino-Mongolians."
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness."
"Your Majesty is truly magnanimous and magnanimous." Ding Daquan couldn't help but praise him, saying: "A wise king and a wise minister are another beautiful story in the history of Qing Dynasty! People in the past said that the ruler of Wei burned books, but they didn't know that your Majesty knew people well and assigned them well..."
~~
Rao Huchen watched blankly as Li Xia exited the hall with the box full of evidence, still feeling a little unbelievable.
Too easy.
Such conclusive evidence and the crime of treason and treason, but this is it?
It was as if he punched out with all his strength and missed the target. He felt as if he had been dislocated and was not adapting to it.
"Your Majesty, I think we need to at least let Li Xia explain..."
"I have no doubts about my employment." Zhao Yun still had the spirit of the Holy Lord, saying: "Go and capture Zhang Shijun, torture him and interrogate him, and you will definitely gain something."
"I obey the decree..."
In fact, if Zhao Yun is willing to play the role of a Holy Lord, he is a sure shot.
But in recent years, he has been too tired to show off to his ministers.
That is to say, now, in order to deal with Kublai Khan's efforts to win people's hearts, we have to brace ourselves.
As for whether Li Xia really has different intentions? It doesn't matter anymore.
Since people have returned to Lin'an, there is no need to go back to Shu to lead troops. So, if the evidence is true or false, why bother to investigate again?
At this time of year, it is time to honor and support the meritorious officials to show the emperor's great kindness.
It's that simple.
The thought in his mind turned around, and Zhao Yun started talking about business.
"Yang Zhen, I ordered you to take over the right leading army guard, can you do it?"
It was Yang Zhen's first time to participate in such an important court event. He was huddled in a corner, fearing that someone would notice him. When he heard this, he couldn't help but trembled and knelt down in panic.
"My lord, I will defend His Majesty to the death!"
Zhao Yun looked at the courtier who was kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes, narrowed his eyes, and sighed casually: "People are most afraid of comparisons."
Jia Sidao smiled and responded: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Li Xia directly submitted a letter of recruitment and surrender. Compared with others, he appears loyal..."
~~
Wu Qian didn't leave the palace until late at night.
Someone came up to him and said in a low voice: "Right Prime Minister, that Mongolian spy is dead."
If there was no ripples in the ancient well, Wu Qian asked calmly: "Recruited?"
"Yes, the north will send an envoy south soon. He is here to explore the road first."
"Why send an envoy?"
"It is said that the imperial court has agreed to pay tribute...but I don't understand. Jia Sidao's battle report never mentioned this."
To be continued...
