"Master Li said that he is working under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As long as I am accommodating to the Feiyun Cavalry and do something about the military salary... After that, he will help me find a good official position!"
Xia Lishuang understood a few words.
Li Yuan seduced Weng Huai under the guise of buying and selling official positions.
After all, being able to become a guest of the prince of a country is a big temptation.
So, the prince already had other ideas two years ago?
"One day, he suddenly asked me for the account book about military pay, and I noticed something was wrong. When I was drinking that day, I went out to use the toilet, and then I suddenly realized that someone had been following me..."
Weng Huai's eyes were red and filled with resentment.
"That batch of military pay is not a small amount. Aren't you curious, what do they use it for?"
Xia Lishuang's face was expressionless, but her words had a chilling meaning.
Feng Cheng was accused of embezzling military pay, but the military pay was not found in Feng Cheng's home.
It is very possible that he was embezzled by the prince, and then he wanted to kill Weng Huai without doing anything else.
What does the prince want with so much military pay?
The monthly pattern of the East Palace is not low!
Xia Lishuang was puzzled and decided to go to the palace.
It was night, and the lights in the imperial study were brightly lit, but the atmosphere was deathly silent.
"Are you telling the truth?!"
The emperor's tone was cold.
Xia Lishuang cupped her hands and covered all the emotions in her eyes.
"My son, I dare not lie! The witness is outside the door right now. Please give me a clear warning!"
"Bring it in!"
The emperor flicked his sleeves, his anger level reaching its peak.
Outside the door, Weng Huai was in a state of embarrassment. The circles under his eyes were still a little blue, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
"You...are Feng Cheng's military advisor?"
"Exactly!" Weng Huai figured it out now and looked calm.
"Tell me, what is going on in Feng Cheng's case?!"
Weng Huai knelt down, his spine straight.
With a calm face and a clear voice, he recounted his experiences over the years word for word.
Including the injustice he suffered, how he became an eighth-grade official next to Feng Cheng, and how he cooperated with the prince in a mysterious way...
His tone was tired, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
"Weng Huaizeng also longed to enter the court and serve as an official, but he had no choice but to be born at the wrong time... He has committed so many crimes at this moment, and it is hard for him to absolve himself of the blame. I will leave it to your Majesty's disposal!"
There was silence in the palace.
Xia Lishuang stood aside and said nothing.
Even though Weng Huai had been fascinated by ghosts before, Xia Lishuang still saw the character of a literary man with his fearless spirit of dying.
Dressed in five mausoleums and dressed in horses, one is light and romantic, loyal to the emperor and the country, and diligent in government affairs. This is the dream of many poor officials.
However, under the oppression of the powerful, how many people's dreams are easily shattered.
Just like Weng Huai in front of me.
Weng Huai did not deny the crimes he had committed, but his experience still moved people.
"The guilty minister once overheard Li Yuan and the others talking, saying that military pay was sent to a village outside the city...it must still be there now!"
The emperor clenched his fists, and his last bit of tolerance for the prince finally disappeared.
