"Your Majesty, the minister Li Yan sued Li Xin, the military envoy, for colluding with the rebels in southern Xinjiang, framing the generals of the imperial court, and conspiring to rebel, and the crime cannot be punished!"

In the side hall of Changle Palace, Li Yan, who returned from southern Xinjiang, knelt respectfully in front of the Son of Chengde, and said this sentence in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner.

He didn't just say it, he also went to the script, and he really came to impeach Li Xin.

Fortunately, this is not a court, it is just a private summons from the Emperor of Chengde, otherwise the contradiction between Li Xin and the Pingnan Hou Mansion will be known to everyone.

Li Yan knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice while playing the book: "Your Majesty, the last general and others have found out that Li Xin had contact with Li Xing, the leader of the Nanshu bandits, during his tenure as the military envoy of Southern Xinjiang, although it is not clear what this person said to Li Xing, but after he returned to Beijing, he wantonly framed the Southern Army, and the ambition of the wolf son has been revealed, please Your Majesty immediately issue an order to take this fang into the prison for questioning!" ”

Chengde Tianzi carefully read the notebook handed over by Li Yan, then glanced at Li Yan who was kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently: "What did Li Xin frame the Southern Army?" ”

"Naturally, it is to frame the list of the Pingnan Army killed in battle!"

Li Yan kowtowed and wept and said: "Your Majesty, there is chaos in southern Xinjiang, and my Pingnan army is fighting bravely to kill the enemy, without sparing his life, as long as he can sweep away the rebellion for His Majesty, the soldiers will die, but the last general and others never thought that we would bravely kill the enemy on the front line, and this military envoy from the imperial court would fabricate facts behind his back and frame my Pingnan army!" ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't kill this fang, not only will the more than 10,000 soldiers killed in my Pingnan Army die, but now the Pingnan Army will be chilled by it last time!"

Saying that, Li Yan took out another document from his arms and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the list of people who have died in the war in the last two months, and Your Majesty can send people to visit them one by one, and each one of them really died on the battlefield!" ”

Li Yanhu had tears in his eyes: "Li Xin, the envoy of the prison army, stirred up right and wrong in front of His Majesty, saying that my Pingnan Army made up a list of the dead in battle, and Your Majesty will take a look at it personally, can one of them be forged?" ”

For example, when the pension list is made, as long as the Pingnan Army picks out the people who have recently written to their families in the pension list, or kills them, or hides them, this matter will be seamless, and no one can find out.

Even if the capital sent Qin to southern Xinjiang to investigate, they couldn't find out anything.

In other words, Li Xin's evidence is now untenable.

After all, Li Xin had only collected thirty-seven people who had written letters to his family, and as long as Pingnanjun operated to pick out these thirty-seven people, or the entire people who had recently written to his family, and secretly hid them, Li Xin's previous evidence would all be turned into a blank slate.

Ping Nanjun can even say that the evidence in Li Xin's hands was forged.

The right to speak is in their hands.

At this point in the conversation, Chengde Tianzi had already understood what the Li family was going to do.

The Li family is trying to kill Li Xin!

His Majesty the Emperor closed the chapter and said with a smile: "Li Aiqing, Li Xin has never written to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, is there any misunderstanding in the middle?" ”

Procedurally speaking, Li Xin did not sue the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, because Li Xin submitted all the evidence directly to the emperor, and no one in the middle did it, and there was no other written evidence to prove that Li Xin had sued, and there was no bottom in the yamen of the three provinces.

As long as the Chengde Tianzi shook his head and denied it, then Li Xin was equivalent to never suing the Li family.

After all, the Son of Heaven is always right, and no one dares to question this.

Speaking of this, Chengde Tianzi glanced at Li Yan lightly, and said with a smile: "Li Qing, the Pingnan Army is thousands of miles away, how did you know that Li Xin sued you in a letter?" ”

The emperor's attitude is still very clear, if you want to kill the people, I will take action to protect them.

Li Yan's face changed slightly.

After all, he is a military general, and when it comes to playing with his heart, he will lose to the Son of Chengde, this big man knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, that Li Xin threatened Mrs. Hou Ye in Beijing, this is what you know......"

"I don't know."

Chengde Tianzi blinked, and his face did not change: "Li Qing, I never knew about this matter before, don't talk nonsense." ”

This is the benefit of the emperor, even if you talk nonsense, no one dares to jump out to refute you, as an emperor, you will even have the ability to slightly distort reality, that is, even if you say wrong, it will naturally become right.

For example, the Son of Heaven in Chengde now refers to the deer as a horse, then all the deer in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty will be called a horse, hundreds of thousands of years later, this name may be handed down, and it will be written in the books of later generations.

Li Yan gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, this matter is a loss of words, it's just that when this Li Xin was in the capital of Hanzhou in southern Xinjiang, he once met with Li Xing, the leader of the anti-thieves, this is an indisputable fact, he is a military envoy, and he must have some bad intentions when he meets the thieves at night!" ”

Chengde Tianzi changed color slightly: "Is there any evidence?" ”

No matter how much the Son of Chengde wants to protect Li Xin, he will privately meet the rebels in southern Xinjiang, but he will also touch his bottom line, because the rebels involve the root of imperial power, and they will never tolerate evil crimes.

In the imperial era, any crime could be exonerated from the crime, but rebellion was not possible, even if the prince rebelled, most of them were to die.

Li Yan lowered his head and said: "That night, Cheng Ping once sent a person to follow behind this Li Xin, and saw with his own eyes that Li Xin and the leader of the anti-thieves met, but he lost his heel, otherwise he could have caught this Li Xin on the spot that day, so that he had nothing to say!" ”

Chengde Tianzi's face was calm: "In other words, you still have no evidence." ”

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if this Li Xin colludes with the remnants of Nanshu, there will inevitably be a Shu person around him who is responsible for contacting the news, Your Majesty only needs to send someone to check whether there is a person from Shu County around Li Xin, and the matter will be clear!" ”

If Li Xin was present at this time, most of them would have scolded bitterly.

Since Li Xing sent Mu Ying over, it means that he has no idea of betraying the covenant for the time being, and Mu Ying's identity has been leaked.

Things are already obvious......

By the side of His Royal Highness Li Xing, there must be spies from the Pingnan Hou Mansion!

Chengde Tianzi frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Go and check if there is a Shu person around Li Xin." ”

The great eunuch Chen Ju bent down slightly: "The old slave obeys." ”

After Chen Ju retreated, the Son of Chengde looked at Li Yan with a smile, stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Li Qing has been a horse for half his life, and he has made a lot of contributions, I have vacated a position for you as a squire in the military department, and you will stay in the capital to enjoy happiness in the future." ”

Li Yan said respectfully: "Minister, thank you for your kindness." ”

Chengde Tianzi patted Li Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Work hard, first be a squire for a few years and work hard to get your qualifications, and when the time is right, I will hand over the military department to you." ”

Li Yan immediately knelt on the ground and thanked him.

"Your Majesty's grace, the minister's liver and brain can't repay it!"

Looking at Li Yan who was kneeling on the ground, Chengde Tianzi was slightly distracted, he looked up at the south, and remembered the playmate who grew up with him.

Li Shen, Li Shen, do you really want to kill Li Xin......... Or do you want to borrow my hand to make up for the mistakes made by Li Xin in southern Xinjiang?

I hope I'm suspicious and overestimate you......
