Zhong Yang finally understood what was going on and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing to Wang Hezheng.
"Sir Wang, it was Chi Bie Zhuo, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, who deceived the subordinates and acted in a wrong way. All the subordinates confessed their guilt. Please be lenient, sir!"
Wang Hezheng sighed and shook his head: "Zhong Yang, you really dare to speak out about the difference of 2.8 million taels of silver. Are your brains so full of mush? This is the first crime. Changing Shangguan documents without authorization almost caused the two countries to have diplomatic relations.
Falling into chaos is the second crime. With Mr. Liu here and Mr. Wan, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, as witnesses, if I don’t deal with you according to law, how can I be worthy of the hat I hold on my head!"
"Sir Wang, I know I made a mistake, please ask Mr. Wang"
"Someone is coming!"
Wang Hezheng didn't care about Zhong Yang's plea and directly summoned the government servant outside the door to come in.
Four government officials walked in, looking at Chi Biezhuo's body on the ground and Zhong Yang kneeling on the ground, his expression changed slightly: "Sir, what are your orders?"
Wang Hezheng pointed at Zhong Yang who was kneeling on the ground: "Remove the veil from the head of the young minister of Honglu Temple Zhong Yang, and put him in jail pending trial. After all the evidence is complete, he will be transferred to the Dali Temple Yushitai of the Ministry of Punishment for trial!"
"I obey the order!"
"The yamen officials in the temple immediately detained Honglu Temple and Si Zheng in jail pending trial. They also removed all the evidence and handed it over to the Third Law Division for trial!"
"Follow the order!"
The government officials carried the wailing Zhong Yang out of the door without hesitation.
Since Lord Siqing dared to order himself and others to detain Lord Shaoqing without going through the imperial decree, he must have sufficient evidence of the crime.
Just follow the instructions yourself, and the rest will naturally be taken care of by Wang Hezheng, the leader of Honglu Temple.
Liu Mingzhi walked towards the Queen: "Brother Wan, could you please let me discuss the matter with Mr. Wang about your Majesty!"
The Queen hesitated and nodded: "The envoy and the deputy envoy are waiting outside the door. I hope Master Liu will not keep me waiting for too long!"
"Naturally, please!"
The two empresses walked out of the room and Liu Mingzhi sat on the chair again: "Master Wang, there has been a big misunderstanding about King Wanyan Chizha of the King of Jin. Now the 200,000-strong army in the southern region of the Kingdom of Jin is gearing up to start a war to rescue Wan Yan.
Yan Chizha, now that the Jin Emperor has temporarily calmed down the restlessness of the 200,000 Jin soldiers, we have to release Wanyan Chizha!"
Wang Hezheng's expression changed: "If the two countries go to war, wouldn't the matter of going to the West have to be put on hold?"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned and nodded slightly. He did not expect that Wang Hezheng would immediately think about the consequences of starting a war.
"Master Wang has a keen eye. Once the war breaks out, the peaceful Northern Xinjiang will be at war again. Although the Jin Kingdom's Zhennan King Wanyan Chizha is in our hands, the Jin Kingdom's 200,000 troops are leaderless, but Wanyan Chizha still has some in his hands who can conquer the enemy.
Generals who are good at fighting, even if these generals are all mediocre, even two hundred thousand pigs will have to pay a high price, not to mention, do you think that generals who can guard the border are useless mediocrity?"
"What do you mean, Mr. Liu?"
"The only thing we can do now is to release King Zhennan of the Jin Kingdom. It is not appropriate for Dalong to use swords for the time being. After all, he has not yet recovered enough to inflict new injuries. I don't know how long it will take to fully recover! Let's just forget about it.
With Wanyan Chizha in custody, there will be another prince in the Kingdom of Jin who will regain control of the army!"
Wang He thought for a while and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a complicated expression: "Once the newly ascended prince masters the tiger talisman of the three armies, he may no longer be afraid of the authority of the Jin Emperor. He will obey the Jin Emperor's orders and obediently guard the southern region of the Jin Kingdom without committing any crime against Dalong Qiu.
If an ambitious prince comes to power, war will be inevitable. Is Young Master Liu worried about this issue?"
"Master Wang is right to the point. Peace is hard-won. Once the Kingdom of Jin changes to a new emperor or prince who is hot-headed and reckless to launch a war, even if the dragon can win, he will have to pay a heavy price, not to mention the Turks who are eyeing the tiger and the wolf.
What? Dalong’s century-old plan for the future cannot be ruined by just a few hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"That's fine. Two hundred thousand ransoms are two hundred thousand ransoms. I will state the pros and cons in the memorial!"
"Lord Wang"
Wang Hezheng pondered for a long time before he raised his head and looked at Liu Mingzhi complicatedly: "I can understand Mr. Liu's painstaking efforts, but isn't this a bit too trivial? I can't explain it to your majesty by releasing the prince of Jin Kingdom for free."
!Although Wanyan Chizha was captured by Mr. Liu, he has been handed over to Honglu Temple after all, and the lower official must be held responsible!"
"Master Wang, you can rest assured that I will sign and seal your memorial, and jointly send a memorial to His Majesty. Your Majesty is a hero and understands justice well. He will definitely understand the difficulties of you and me. The reason for this matter
I will take the lead, Sir Wang, so you can rest assured!"
"Lord Liu has said so. If Xiaguan doesn't give you face, then it's Xiaguan's fault. Xiaguan will go prepare a memorial immediately. Lord Liu will be later!"
"Good work!"
Wang Hezheng picked up a clean memorial and started writing.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the scenery outside with a melancholy expression.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. Northern Xinjiang can still have peace for two years. We only have two years to go to sea for trade. As long as we accumulate a rich family fortune, Dalong will not be afraid of any battle and unify
The world is no longer far away, I believe you can understand my difficulties!"
"Master Liu, please!"
"good!"
Liu Mingzhi took the writing brush and signed his signature on the memorial, then took out his official seal and stamped it: "Master Wang, I have gone to see Wanyan Chiezha, so the issue of entering the palace to meet the saint is up to you, Lord Lao Wang!
"
"That's fine, Sir Liu, turn left when you go out and go straight. After passing two arches, you will be the temporary prison of Honglu Temple. I will go into the palace to face the saint now!"
"Walk slowly!"
"I'll take my leave!"
Wang Hezheng rushed towards the palace without hesitation. Liu Mingzhi shrugged at the long-awaited queen: "Come with me!"
"I knew that Brother Liu was not an innocent person!"
"To put it mildly, next time you come to Dalong in such a arrogant manner, once someone finds out your identity, are you not afraid of being imprisoned by Dalong?"
The Queen smiled lightly: "Since I dare to come, I must have arranged my funeral. If something happens to me, my little uncle will immediately receive the imperial decree and ascend the throne as emperor, and will use all the strength of the country to fight against the dragon. This is
First, even if your emperor Li Zheng knew my identity, he would not do anything to me, because he thought he understood my personality. If it were you, you would watch helplessly as an opponent whom Guo Zuo is completely familiar with suddenly becomes
An enemy you don’t understand at all?”
"You are afraid of war, I am afraid of war, and your emperor is also afraid of war, because we all know that now is definitely not the right time to go to war, and we can only choose to live in peace. This is the reason why I dare to disguise myself and go south!"
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath and nodded with his lips pursed.
"I understand, if you don't succeed, you will be successful. At worst, everything will be ruined. If you eat the big dragon of the Jin Kingdom, you will lose two teeth, right? The big dragon will be covered in bruises and face the threat of Turks!"
The Queen looked at Liu Mingzhi with a sweet smile: "When drinking with a close friend, a thousand cups are too little. You and I know ourselves and the enemy, but we can't work together for a great cause. The sky is not good!"
