It is impossible to admit it, once it is admitted that Shang Shutai intends to control the forbidden army, then it is equivalent to a dissent in the center of the court, and at that time, not only he Shen Kuan alone, but all the Zai Fu of Shang Shutai may face prison.

So on this issue, we must deny it no matter what.

Shen Kuan held the Chaohu in his hand and bowed deeply to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been favored by the first emperor to become the ministers of the auxiliary government, and they will assist the government wholeheartedly, and they will never have any dissent, let alone have the intention of controlling the forbidden army."

He lowered his head, pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "This time the matter of the transfer of the forbidden army was recommended by the Dadu Governor's Office. ”

"When it comes to military attachés, generally the Ministry of War has the final say, and there is a survey and seal of the Ministry of War, and there is no reason why Shang Shutai should not be printed."

The order in Li Xin's hand was indeed recommended by the Metropolitan Governor, inspected by the Ministry of War, and then Shangshutai was printed and put into effect, and Shangshutai was the last process.

Shen Kuan bowed deeply to the Son of Heaven: "Even if it is as Mrs. Li said, it is the right attendant of the Ministry of War, Qian Sheng, who privately seals and verifies it, and I don't know about it in advance, there is no collusion, this matter is originally a trivial matter, at most there is a problem within the Ministry of War, Mrs. Li, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, does not think about his own negligence, but instead beats a rake, bites the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and Shangshutai, and his heart can be punished." ”

What he meant was that Shang Shutai didn't know anything about it, and in just a few words, he gently and skillfully removed Shang Shutai from this matter, and shirked all the responsibility on the head of Qian Sheng, the governor of the capital and the military department.

In other words, not only Zhou Qingyang and Qian Sheng were betrayed by him, but even his "ally" Ji Lin was pushed out by him in a hurry and blocked in front of him.

Shen Xiang bowed his head respectfully: "Please Your Majesty." ”

Li Xin smiled coldly: "If I hadn't found out, Shen Xiang could indeed ask me about a crime of negligence, but the mistake of the military department was raised by me, where did this oversight in Shen Xiang's mouth come from?" ”

"Shen Xiang said a few words lightly, and he wanted to get himself out of this matter, I'm afraid he couldn't do it!"

Li Xin's face was expressionless, and he said in a deep voice: "Three days ago, the official asked Qian Sheng in the military department, and Qian Sheng personally admitted that this matter was instructed by Shang Shutai to do it, and the official of the Dadu Governor's Mansion had also been there, and the Dadu Governor had also been to Shangshutai before this matter, and Shangshutai was inextricably linked to this matter, how could Shen Xiang be able to make it clear in a few words?" ”

The Marquis of Jing'an also bowed his hand to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very easy to investigate, as long as you check whether Qian Sheng, Zhou Qingyang and others have any connection with Shang Shutai, the minister is not in the Three Law Division, it is not easy to start investigating the case, please Your Majesty order Xu Chen to monopolize this matter, at most two days, the minister can send the ironclad evidence to Weiyang Palace!"

At this time, his face was already torn, and Shen Kuan couldn't care about Sven, he snorted coldly at Li Xin: "Zhou Qingyang is a military attaché, and Qian Sheng has been a subordinate of Mrs. Li for many years. ”

Li Xin turned his head to look at Shen Kuan.

"Who would give a confession that would put him to death?"

"Shen Xiang is the head of the civil service, so he is naturally a smart person, but don't take others for fools."

Li Xin took a deep breath and no longer looked at Shen Kuan, but turned his head to look at the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, whether it is Shen Xiang, or Zhongshu Ling, or the Zuo Du Governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, they are all auxiliary ministers of the first emperor's will, and the minister is just a military secretary who temporarily helps His Majesty take care of the right camp of the forbidden army, it stands to reason that the minister cannot, and he does not dare to offend several auxiliary ministers."

"However, these auxiliary ministers have bad intentions and are harmful to the court, and since the ministers have seen it, they can't help but say it."

Li Xin tidied up his court clothes and knelt on the ground again.

"Please Your Majesty, Xu Chen will investigate this matter, and when the matter is clear, Your Majesty will know that several auxiliary ministers are not worthy of the position, and Your Majesty can govern in advance at that time."

Yuan Zhao Tianzi was a little stunned.

He is still a fourteen-year-old child, and today he is the same as before, he came to the main hall of Weiyang Palace to go through the motions, and he was going to go to Shangshutai as an apprentice after leaving the court, but who would have thought that his teacher would suddenly sue a few auxiliary ministers!

He hadn't prepared any beforehand, his mind was blank at this moment, and he didn't know what to say.

"Old ...... Teacher, I can't make a choice about this matter, otherwise...... Put it first, and discuss it later? ”

Li Xin knelt on the ground, his face expressionless.

"The minister took the risk to write a book, if His Majesty didn't allow it, the minister offended a few auxiliary ministers, and he couldn't stay in the court in the future, so the minister went to the book and begged to return to his hometown and go back to his hometown in Yongzhou to retire."

As soon as he said this, the eyelids of the people in the court jumped.

At the beginning of the ninth year of Taikang, Li Xin was imprisoned in Dali Temple by Taikang Tianzi, although this matter was kept secret, but most of the high-ranking officials in the capital knew, and most of them remembered that General Pei Jin Pei was defeated in the southwest, and then Li Xin returned to Beijing, and the first emperor was furious.

They even knew a little bit about the feud between the first emperor and Li Xin.

Some well-informed people even noticed that Li Xin had seized the southwest!

It's just that these things are hidden in the dark, and no one mentions them on the surface.

Now, Li Xin wants to go back to his hometown to "retire", and each of them is trembling in their hearts.

You know, Yongzhou...... It's so close to the southwest!

Yuan Zhao Tianzi's heart also trembled, he smiled bitterly and looked at Li Xin.

"Teacher, why bother to force me here......"

Li Xin bowed his head slightly: "The ministers don't dare to persecute Your Majesty anything, but the auxiliary ministers are in chaos, someone must always stand up and speak, several auxiliary ministers are in high positions, if Your Majesty is unwilling to open the law, the ministers can also understand." ”

"If there is no room for ministers in the court, the ministers will go back to their hometown."

Marquis Jing'an took a deep breath.

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the minister also asked someone to build a house in his hometown, and it has been built for many years, and he has always wanted to go back to his hometown to live all these years."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Shen Kuan, Ram Shu, and Doctor Yu Shi were strict and clumsy, and their faces changed slightly.

Shen Kuan stood up directly, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Xin, and said angrily: "Li Changan, you want to coerce the Son of Heaven!" ”

"We are all the auxiliary ministers of the first emperor's will, and now that the first emperor has been mourned for only a few months, you have to make a big fuss about this trivial matter, and use Zhishi to blackmail His Majesty to abolish the auxiliary ministers, what is your intention?"

Li Xin looked up indifferently.

"Shen Xiang, I'm not trying to coerce me, it's just that I offended a few auxiliary ministers today, and the capital naturally can't stay."

"Li has also made some contributions to Dajin, even if he loses in the court, he should be decent no matter what, Shen Xiang will not let Li not even be able to leave the capital?"

Shen Kuan glared at Li Xin viciously.

In the end, it was the emperor who walked down the imperial steps, he walked in front of Li Xin, stretched out his hand to help his teacher up, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher, I am still young, I dare not make a choice for a while, the teacher will let me go for a day, and I will talk about it tomorrow?" ”

He spoke almost pleadingly.

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then with the support of the Son of Heaven, he slowly stood up and spoke.

"In that case, we will discuss it tomorrow."
