Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 205

here we go.

   Although I guessed that Li Yan might target him again, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

The emperor of the Jin Dynasty was not like in the TV series of later generations. He went to court every day. In fact, the emperor would only meet with the dignitaries of the three provinces and six ministries on weekdays. When entering the palace to discuss matters, only the great court meeting once every ten days will call the civil and military officials.

   Beijing officials of rank five and above must participate.

   And Li Xin happened to be the captain of the sixth rank, and was not eligible to attend the meeting.

  The Great Jin court held a great court meeting on the 10th, and today is exactly the 20th day of the seventh month, the day of the great court meeting.

  Li Xin nodded at the middle-aged eunuch, and said, "Father-in-law will go first, and the next official will enter the palace after a while."

   The **** nodded and said sharply: "Then Commander Li, hurry up. Your Majesty is waiting for you. If you are slow, you will inevitably be held accountable for neglect."

The eunuchs of the Jin Dynasty did not hold power. The **** Chen Ju, the largest **** in the eight prisons of the inner palace, had power also limited to the imperial city. Although the Tianmujian among the eight prisons had the power to supervise hundreds of officials, he had no right to set up private courts. That is to say, they only have the right to report, but not the right to judge.

   Even the inner guard in the eight prisons has military power, but it is limited to the imperial city. Although the inner guard has the right to take people, it must go through the procedures of the court to judge.

   This is much inferior to the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty.

This actually limits the freedom of some imperial power. However, from Emperor Xianwu to today's Chengde Emperor, the two generations of emperors in the Great Jin Dynasty were extremely majestic. , and no one dared to defy them.

   is also for this reason, these eunuchs are still polite, even the big **** Chen Ju is usually warm, let alone such ordinary eunuchs.

  Li Xin nodded to the eunuch: "Don't worry, Father-in-law, Li Xin saves a lot."

  The **** wiped the sweat from his forehead and rode away.

Li Xin originally wanted to enter the Princess Mansion, say hello to the Ninth Princess, and then go to the palace, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and gave up, and said solemnly to Yu Linwei at the entrance of the Princess Mansion: "Tell Her Royal Highness the Princess and say that I have been here. She was summoned by His Majesty, so I didn't go in to see her."

   This Yu Linwei respectfully clasped his fists: "Li Xiao... Li Duwei can rest assured that his humble position will definitely be passed on to His Highness."

  Li Xin squinted his eyes and turned around his dark cloud horse.

   After more than half an hour, he came to the gate of Changle Palace and stood with his hands down, waiting to be summoned.

   After a while, there was a high-pitched singing voice in the main hall. It was too far away to hear it clearly. Then a warrior in front of the hall walked up to Li Xin and said in a loud voice, "Captain Li, Your Majesty has called you in."

  Li Xin walked into the main hall of Yongle Palace with his hands down.

   This is a large hall the size of a football field, and it is also the main hall of Changle Palace. Li Xin has been in and out of Changle Palace several times, but this main hall has only been there once.

   The last time he came back from the southern border, the emperor of Chengde called him to question him, and it was in this golden temple that he killed Xue Zichuan of the Censor Terrace alive.

   Walking to His Majesty, Li Xin bowed to his knees and said respectfully, "Li Xin, Yulin Guard, meet His Majesty."

   At this time, the discussion on the Golden Palace has been going on for a long time. The emperor of Chengde thought that he had not slept well yesterday. After yawning, he said, "You are here."

The emperor stood up from the dragon chair and said angrily: "Well, Li Xin, I believe in you so in vain, I have promoted you in every possible way, and sent you to the southern border to serve as the military envoy. I didn't expect you to collude with Nanshu. Yu Nie, now that Li Qing has reported your crime, what else do you have to say?"

   The words of the emperor of Chengde were fierce, and most ordinary people would be trembling when they heard it, but Li Xinxin was not panic at all.

  Because of the Chengde emperor, he has already passed. The reason why His Majesty the emperor said this was to ask Li Xin to give a plausible statement to the court officials, or to the "public".

This statement of    naturally cannot be said in front of the emperor of Chengde.

  If Li Xin said that he did collude with Nan Shu, then even if the emperor of Chengde wanted to protect him, he would not be able to.

   This is a tacit understanding between smart people. The emperor of Chengde has reached a tacit understanding with Li Xin without saying a word.

   Li Xin knelt on the ground, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Majesty, may I ask how Li Shilang served as a minister?"

The emperor of Chengde sat back on the dragon chair and said indifferently: "Li Qing said that you were in the city of Hanzhou, and you met Li Xing, the great highness of Nanshu in private, and colluded with Nanshu. After returning to Beijing, you wrote a letter to frame my Zhu Guoda. General Li Shen."

  The emperor of Chengde said solemnly: "Li Qing has made it clear in the memorial, collusion with rebels is a sin of great treason, and ten are not enough for you, so what else do you have to say?"

Li Xin still lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister entered Hanzhou City, it was Hanzhou City that entered with General Cheng Ping. Before entering the city, Hanzhou City fell into the hands of the enemy, and General Cheng led the way. It was only after the **** battle of the Pingnan Army that Hanzhou City was captured, and according to General Cheng Ping, the remnants of Nanshu in Hanzhou City have been killed by him."

   "Assuming that what Li Shilang wrote in the book is true..."

Having said this, Li Xin looked up at Li Yan, the military minister standing in the third row, and said coldly: "At that time, there were no remnants of Nanshu in Hanzhou City, so how did the minister see the remnants of Nanshu? ?"

  The emperor of Chengde almost couldn't help clapping his hands.

   This little doll is really a wonderful person. There are two different ways of saying the same thing in his mouth, and he is still leaking!

   Li Xin looked straight at Li Yan, the minister of military affairs, and sneered: "If there are still remnants of Nanshu in Hanzhou City, then I would like to ask, how did the Pingnan Army break into Hanzhou City at that time?"

   "Can the lower official understand that the Pingnan Army also has a connection with the remnants of Nanshu?"

  Li Yan's face was expressionless.

   "Nanshu is cunning, and it is not surprising that there are a few fish that slip through the net. This does not prevent Li Duwei from collaborating with rebels."

   "Does Li Shilang have evidence?"

Li Yan turned his head, glanced at Li Xin lightly, and said, "In the remnants of Nanshu, there is a spy buried by this official, and the letter sent by the spy is clearly written. A group of remnants of Nanshu brought it to the Li Thief Courtyard in the west of the city, this letter has been handed over to Your Majesty, do you want to take a look?"

  Li Xin sneered: "If Li Shilang wants this kind of letter, the lower official can forge ten letters for you at any time!"

"In Hanzhou City that day, General Cheng Ping said that the 20,000 Pingnan Army had completely mastered Hanzhou City, and that night Xiaguan also lived near the Pingnan Army Camp. If only a few Nanshu remnants survived in Hanzhou City , then in any case, it is impossible for them to pass through the Pingnan Army and meet the lower officials."

   Li Xin looked coldly at the right servant of the Ministry of War.

   "Master Shilang, Xiaguan wants to ask you, do you think now that Xiaguan saw the remnants of Nanshu that night, or did you not see it?"

   At this time, Li Yan, who had been calm all the time, turned a little ugly.

  If he still killed Li Xin and met the remnants of Nanshu, then he undoubtedly admitted that the process of pacifying the southern army was watery.

   If he just dropped the accusation, and he didn’t say he was willing or unwilling, it would make others feel that the Pingnan Hou Mansion was guilty.

   This general who was almost invincible on the battlefield was at a loss for words for a while.

   The emperor of Chengde sat on the dragon chair with a strange look on his face.

   He was trying to keep his face serious.
