Chapter 248: Questioning
The python laughed to himself: "Lord Ruan, guess what they said they didn't say anything else?" ”
Ruan Qingting's face was expressionless: "If the king suspects his subordinates, it is better to do it directly, it is not interesting to try to come and go, the old minister's sons are dead, and there is no thought of living." ”
Ruan Qingting is also very helpless in his heart, if he has been so passive, sooner or later he will have to show his feet, it is better to retreat as advance, if the python has evidence in his own hands, he will directly admit it, if the python has no evidence in his hands, there are so many civil and military ministers present, he will inevitably hurt the hearts of the courtiers if he tries to go down again, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it, this sentence always makes sense, and Ruan Qingting has always had the impression in the minister's heart that he is loyal and patriotic.
Sure enough, the python hesitated when he heard this, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face: "Lord Ruan, don't be angry, the information of Ava City has been leaked several times, and this king is also very anxious." Python Mengzi was also very suspicious of Ruan Qingting, but as Ruan Qingting thought, if so many ministers present, if they couldn't produce substantive evidence, there would be no way to nail Ruan Qingting, but he just couldn't come up with evidence, and if he continued like this, those ministers couldn't think of anything.
Ruan Qingting didn't dare to blame the python, after all, people are kings, and the king let his ministers die, and the ministers had to die. However, his mind was also settled, and it seemed that the brocade guards did not confess him, but he still had to understand how the python suspected him, so as not to show his feet in the future.
"I don't know why the king thinks that his subordinates are the ones who have an affair with the rebels outside the city, so please ask the king to give his ministers an explanation." He thought very simply, he didn't pursue the python's teasing of him, he just wanted to know who was stirring up behind his back or where the stuffing was exposed.
At this time, Gu Fang suddenly stood up: "Don't ask the king, it's you who I impeached." ”
The eyes of the surrounding ministers widened, today can be regarded as a good show, and the good old people who have always been indisputable with the world have jumped out to make trouble.
Facts have proved that there are no good people who can climb into the cabinet, either they are forbearance, or they have a strong foundation and do not care about the daily teasing of other ministers.
And they don't know which kind Gu Fang belongs to, Ruan Qingting laughed: "It seems that Lord Gu attaches great importance to the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, and the stabbing in the back has been done, what do I offend you to make it clear in person?" ”
Gu Fang's face was hideous: "You sanctimonious traitor, I have been staring at you since your son's death, in order to prepare food for the army, you have offended all the people around the royal capital, resulting in the fact that now everyone has attacked the city, and no one has come to help!" ”
Ruan Qingting sneered and didn't speak, he believed that if he relied on this article to attack himself, it was a fool's dream, when the army was going to go on the expedition, it was natural to rush to obey the power, and besides, these were all agreed by the king, is it difficult for you to make the king admit your mistakes.
Sure enough, Python's face became a little ugly, but he didn't speak, and wanted to listen to Gu Fang continue.
Gu Fang then said: "Later, I asked people to keep an eye on your mansion, and an old housekeeper in your mansion went to a wine shop every few days to drink, and that wine shop was simply a gathering place for these spies!" Do you dare to say that it is not Myanmar that you betrayed? ”
Ruan Qingting laughed: "You said that this wine shop is a gathering place for spies, can their family sell wine?" ”
"Since they open a wine shop and naturally sell alcohol, those spies are all fine people, if I didn't find out that your housekeeper often goes there to drink and send someone to investigate secretly, it is impossible to find out what they are secretly doing!"
"If you are selling wine, what is wrong with my servant going to buy wine? Even if it is inappropriate, the prefect of Ava City should be held accountable, how did these people put in and sell alcohol! ”
"Ava City is so big, why did your servants go there to buy wine and drink? Besides, our army's intelligence has been leaked repeatedly, and you must be making trouble in the dark. ”
Ruan Qingting said disdainfully: "I am a cabinet chief, do I have to care where the servants go to buy wine?" Besides, you said that our army's intelligence was leaked, how could our army's intelligence be leaked, and you made things clear, how could I, as the head of the cabinet, not know about the intelligence leak? ”
The ministers present also thought the same way, they just thought that it was normal to not be able to defeat the army of the Ming Dynasty, and they had never heard of an intelligence leak, and even if it was an intelligence leak, it would definitely not be done by Ruan Qingting, he was the head of the cabinet, even if he knew about the march and war in the front, and then leaked the information, he was afraid that the battle in front would have been fought long ago.
Gu Fang said hatefully: "Then why did the various cities receive orders to drive the Han people out of the city, if they didn't drive the Han people to the north, how could they have so many soldiers?" ”
It can be said that Gu Fang is a good observer, but he is not a very good debater, so he has a lot of good discoveries in his heart but can't get the desired effect.
The ministers present were all stunned when they heard this, didn't they talk about the leakage of military information, why did they talk about replenishing the source of troops? Does this Lord Gu have any evidence that the military intelligence has been leaked?
Ruan Qingting laughed: "When my only son died, I naturally hated the Han people very much, so I drove all the Han people away, do you have any opinions on this?" ”
Gu Fang finally caught his flaw: "Lord Ruan, the news we got at the beginning was that it was the rebels in Myanmar who caused the rebellion, how do you know that it was the Han people who did it?" Your fox tail is finally revealed! ”
Ruan Qingting was stunned, he suddenly found that he had made a mistake, before the elite of the royal capital arrived, all the newspapers were written about the Burmese rebels, but no one had ever said about the Han people, but he had just lost his son, and no one in the court was willing to embarrass him, so he handled this foolish case like this, who knew that he was caught by Gu Fang for this flaw.
As if he had discovered something interesting, the python looked at Ruan Qingting with a smile, he also wanted to hear how Ruan Qingting explained?
Ruan Qingting straightened his mind and showed anger: "Everyone knows how my son died!" It wasn't the Burmese rebels who rebelled at all, but those who were killed by those in Mengyang City! The king has commanded me not to deal with them, and I can't find someone to vent the evil in my breast? ”
As soon as he said this, all the ministers present suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the case, there was a quarrel in the court for this matter, everyone knew that the king ordered him not to pursue those people in Meng Yangcheng, but they didn't expect that Lord Ruan would sprinkle all his anger on the Han people!
Ruan Qingting knew that he had to take the initiative, and if he asked him to ask if there was something that he couldn't come back, he shouted: "You have asked for so long, is there any conclusive evidence that I collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country?" ”
