"Young Master, Zhang Feng has given up." Bai Qing came over covered in sweat with blood stains on his body.
Fang Jue and others are still waiting for his results.
When Cai Yan saw this, he knew that Zhang Feng must have suffered physically and mentally: "Master Zhang, why do you have to do this? You have to say it anyway, and you will get a meal in vain."
"Master Cai, he didn't suffer for nothing." Fang Jue said with a smile.
People like Zhang Feng are very smart and know that they can't hide it.
So he knew he had to say something, but if he said it directly, it would be difficult to explain to the people above him in the future.
But if he confesses after being beaten and tortured, no one can say that he is unethical and there is no reason to punish him too harshly.
This is also a way of survival for little people. The worse this meal is, the safer he will be.
"Master Bai, did he say who it was?" Lin Bei was also very curious.
Bai Qing cupped his hands and said to Fang Jue:
"Young Master, he mentioned more than one name, and one of them happened to be the name General Lin Bei mentioned."
"What?" Lin Bei was shocked.
Fang Jue had already expected it: "I thought of it..."
Cai Yan was confused: "What are you talking about?"
Fang Jue shook his head and said to Cai Yan: "Master Cai, please go down and rest. There are some things in Beijing that you are not suitable to know. It is not good for you."
"this……"
Cai Yan looked at Bai Qing and Lin Bei, and when they nodded, he got up.
"Then I have resigned..." Cai Yan still had something to say.
Fang Jue saw what was on his mind and said, "I have a plan for disaster relief. The people of Suzhou will be fine until the people from the Ministry of Revenue arrive."
"That's good." Cai Yan then left with peace of mind.
Lin Bei smiled and said: "Master Cai is still very good, but sometimes he is not very tactful in his words."
Bai Qing was noncommittal.
Fang Jue said: "This person is not bad, but he is a bit reckless, but he is worthy of entrusting him with some big things."
Then he looked at Lin Bei.
Lin Bei understood and cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, young master, I will go and apologize to Mr. Cai. I'm sure he won't blame me."
"Okay, the people have left. Mr. Bai, tell me, who did Zhang Feng confess to?"
Bai Qing came over, and Fang Jue and Lin Bei also came closer. The three of them were very close, for fear of being overheard by outsiders.
"Back to the Young Master, in addition to the King of Wei, there are also Li Xiuxian, the cabinet scholar, Xia Song, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and He Louqian, the former minister of the Ministry of Revenue..."
There were a few more names, but they didn't catch Fang Jue's eye.
Li Xiuxian, Xia Song, He Louqian.
He Louqian has already asked the question, so there is no need to say more.
Fang Jue also knew that Xia Song was under investigation in the capital and was afraid that he would also lose his official position.
Then only Lee Soo Hyun is left.
"Lee Soo-hyun?"
"I remember that before he joined the cabinet in his early years, he seemed to have some relationship with the King of Wei?" Bai Qing said.
Lin Bei was surprised: "Master Bai has only been in our court for a few months, and he actually knows this?"
Bai Qing thought it was strange that he was so rare: "There are official files in the Xuanjian Division, and I have read them clearly."
"Then what does it say on my file?" Lin Bei couldn't help but asked with interest.
"The King of Qin's party." Bai Qing said calmly.
Lin Bei: "Ahem..."
He quickly said: "Master Bai, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. When did I become a member of King Qin's party!?"
Faced with this question, Bai Qing calmly replied:
"Why, did you have nothing to do with Yue Pingchuan in your early years? Didn't you help King Qin?"
Lin Bei was shocked: "Is this considered the King of Qin's party?"
What a departure!
Although I helped King Qin intercede with the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army when he was trapped in the palace, and asked Mo Yuan to speak well to the emperor... But this was just a good deed, so how could I be classified as a member of King Qin's party?
Seeing that he was so unconscious, Bai Qing smiled and said, "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?"
"Why did Mr. Bai say this? Please tell me clearly!" Lin Bei was a little worried. He was really regarded as a party of the King of Qin. As a member of the military, it was very dangerous to express his position in the fight for the heir.
Bai Qing looked at Fang Jue.
Fang Jue said on his behalf: "General Lin, when you spoke for the King of Qin, and afterwards His Majesty gave you an official rank to comfort the King of Qin... the whole court thought that you were a member of the King of Qin's party."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Lin Bei was enlightened and suddenly realized that he had unintentionally participated in the prince's succession.
After carefully studying the young master's words, Lin Bei realized at this moment that everyone would suspect that he was a member of the King of Qin's party.
Because King Qin was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Yulin Army...
Just like yellow mud falling into the crotch, it is not the party of the King of Qin, but also the party of the King of Qin.
"Then, does your Majesty also think that I..." Lin Bei was afraid.
Bai Qing chuckled: "If His Majesty is not worried about you serving for the King of Qin, how can he transfer you out of the Forbidden Army and go to the distant Xishan Yulin Army to be the commander?"
"There is no place for people like you in the capital's forbidden army who have an unclear position."
Lin Bei smiled bitterly.
"I understand..."
"You always knew, you were just lucky." Fang Jue rolled his eyes at him.
Lin Bei giggled and said nothing, nor did he defend himself.
"Only people like Lu Xin are more suitable for the Imperial Army." Lin Bei didn't regret it, and felt a little emotional.
He had known that he would not be able to stay in the Forbidden Army.
Because something happened to Yue Pingchuan, His Majesty will definitely be worried, so leaving the Forbidden Army is the best way.
Even if he is considered a member of the King of Qin's party, it is better than being demoted in the Forbidden Army in the future.
"Li Xiuxian... I also know a little about this person. He wants me to die in the north, probably because he is worried that I will become the next generation's chief minister?" Fang Jue could see what this person was thinking, but that was it.
Fang Jue didn't believe it, nor did anyone believe that the cabinet ministers were colluding with Beiliang.
Because he is already considered a highly respected minister, there is no benefit in colluding with outsiders. If he makes a mistake, his whole family will be implicated, which is not cost-effective.
"Chief Assistant?" Lin Bei took a deep look, then thought about it carefully and said, "Young Master is so young and already has an official rank of the first rank. It is very possible to become the Chief Assistant in the future!"
Bai Qing also nodded and said: "Yes, the current chief assistant Zhuge Qingshan... no matter how old he is, he will not be able to survive for more than ten or twenty years at most. The young master is still young."
As long as Zhuge Qingshan can do his job, no one in the entire dynasty will think that he is more suitable to be the chief minister, let alone the emperor.
Even Fang Jue cannot replace Zhuge Qingshan at this time!
So Lee Soo-hyun is just worried about the future.
"In the cabinet, apart from Master Zhuge, Li Xiuxian and Yan Neng are the most famous, and they will have the opportunity to take over in the future. But now that a young master has emerged, he is young and promising, so the big shots in the cabinet naturally feel threatened."
Bai Qing didn't think it was strange. This kind of thing happened a lot in Xichu, and was even more rampant.
Fights between officials usually use fair and just means to defeat each other.
However, it should be noted that this is just and fair, but it does not include frame-up and assassination. All other means are considered fair.
"Li Xiuxian has crossed the line." Fang Jue's tone sounded murderous.
Bai Qing: "Yes, in the Great Xia court, officials fought a lot, but they all maintained a tacit understanding and could not directly do evil things. But this Li Xiuxian actually wants to do this, he is already shameless."
"Since he wants to play dirty, then play with him... and send a master to play dirty with me?"
Fang Jue sneered: "Haha, let's see who has more masters."
Bai Qing also sneered and geared up excitedly.
Lin Bei was frightened and said quickly: "I, I...I didn't hear anything!"
Mother, what are you talking about, young master?
If Lee Soo-hyun dies in the future, will it be yours or ours?
"General Lin, don't try to distance yourself from us. We have long been tied together and are considered a party of the Young Masters." Bai Qing reminded lightly.
Lin Bei was stunned, then smiled bitterly.
Just like being in the same party with King Qin, Lin Bei suddenly thought that he was probably considered to be close to the young master.
The reason is very simple. The Yulin Army obeyed the young master's advice all the way.
Nominally speaking, the Young Division only supervises the army and does not have full authority to mobilize troops, but Lin Bei still obeyed.
Isn't this a party with him? What is it?
This is called a fait accompli and cannot be denied. The officials in the court will not listen to his excuse.
"Welcome to the Young Masters Party." Fang Jue opened his arms as if embracing the world.
Then he laughed: "Haha, it's really interesting. Whoever you are close to is in the same party. This concept of party struggle has probably been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
"If you have this time, it would be great to do more practical things, just like the Chief Assistant. Who dares to classify him as a party?"
Fang Jue looked at the two people: "Now there can only be one party in the imperial court, and that is the imperial party. All other parties are seeking death."
"So from now on, don't say anything about the Young Masters Party. This faction does not exist."
"Yes." Bai Qing nodded, and Lin Bei had no choice but to admit it.
Fang Jue stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, and said to the two of them: "Let's go and meet the grain merchant who took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune."
