Unparalleled Concubine

This is a large hall the size of a football field, and it is also the main hall of Changle Palace. Li Xin has entered and exited Changle Palace several times, but he has only visited this main hall once.

The last time he came back from southern Xinjiang, the Emperor Chengde summoned him for questioning. It was in this golden palace that he killed Xue Zichuan of Yushitai alive.

Walking under the hall, Li Xin knelt down and said respectfully: "Habayashi guard Li Xin, I greet your majesty."

At this time, the discussions in the Golden Palace had been going on for quite a while, and the Emperor Chengde thought he didn't sleep well yesterday, so after yawning, he said, "You are here."

The emperor stood up from the dragon chair and said angrily: "Good Li Xin, it's in vain that I believe in you so much, I promoted you in every possible way, and sent you to the southern border as a military supervisor. I didn't expect you to collude with Nanshu Yu Nian, now that Li Qing has reported your crimes, what else can you say?"

Emperor Chengde's words were so harsh that ordinary people would probably tremble when they heard this, but Li Xinxin was not panicked at all.

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

Naturally, this statement cannot be as it was said in front of the Chengde Emperor.

If now Li Xin said that he and Nan Shu did collude and cooperate, then even if Emperor Chengde wanted to protect him, he would not be able to protect him.

This is a tacit understanding between smart people. Chengde Emperor 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, how did Li Shilang serve as a minister?"

Emperor Chengde sat back on the dragon chair, and said calmly: "Li Qing said that you were in the city of Hanzhou. 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."

Chengde Emperor said in a deep voice: "This matter, Li Qing has already stated clearly in the memorial, colluding with rebels is a crime of treason, ten of you are not enough to kill, what else do you have to say?"

Li Xin still lowered his head, and said: "Your Majesty, when I entered Hanzhou City that day, it was Hanzhou City that entered with General Cheng Ping. Before entering the city, Hanzhou City fell into the hands of the enemy. It took the Pingnan army a bloody battle to capture Hanzhou City, and according to General Cheng Ruo, he has killed all the remnants of the Southern Shu in Hanzhou City."

"Assuming that the content in Li Shilang's memorial is true..."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked up at Li Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of War who was standing in the third row, and said coldly: "At that time, there were no remnants of Nanshu in Hanzhou City, so how did I see the remnants of Nanshu?" ?”

Emperor Chengde could hardly help clapping and cheering.

This little doll is really a wonderful person, there are two different ways of saying the same thing in his mouth, and it is still watertight!

Li Xin looked straight at Li Yan, the servant of the Ministry of War, and said with a sneer: "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 you understand that the Pingnan army is also linked to the remnants of Nanshu?"

Li Yan was expressionless.

"The remnants of Nanshu are cunning, and it is not surprising that a few slipped through the net. This does not prevent Li Duwei from colluding with the rebels."

"Does Li Shilang have evidence?"

Li Yan turned his head, glanced at Li Xin lightly, and said, "Among the remnants of Nanshu, there is a spy buried by the official, and the letter sent back by the spy is clearly written. A group of Southern Shu remnants were brought to Li Thief’s courtyard in the west of the city, this letter has already been handed over to His Majesty, do you want to take a look?”

Li Xin said with a sneer, "If Li Shilang wants such letters, I can forge ten letters for you at any time!"

"In Hanzhou City that day, General Cheng Ping said that the [-] Pingnan Army had completely taken control of Hanzhou City, and that the officials who were dispatched that night also lived near the Pingnan Army camp. , then no matter what, it is impossible for them to pass through the Pingnan Army to see the subordinate officials."

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

"My lord servant, I want to ask you, do you think that I saw the remnants of Nan Shu that night, or did I not?"

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

If he still killed Li Xin to meet the remnants of Nanshu, then he undoubtedly admitted that the Pingnan Army's counter-insurgency process was watery.

If he just gave up the accusation, not to mention whether he was willing or not, it would make others feel that the Pingnan Houfu was guilty.

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

Chengde Emperor sat on the dragon chair with a strange expression on his face.

He was trying to keep his face sullen and serious.

Chapter 206 Whitening Yourself

The atmosphere in the Golden Palace became awkward.

Emperor Chengde waved his hand: "Okay, Li Xin, you stand up and answer."

Li Xin stood up from the ground and bowed his head in thanks.

Although Li Yan is a bit embarrassed now, but after all, he is a person who has seen strong winds and waves. His expression did not change, he turned to look at Li Xin, and said indifferently: "I will join you, you just need to say clearly in front of His Majesty, It is useless to use the power of the tongue."

"In this way, Li Shilang still thinks that he saw those remnants of Nan Shu that day when he became an official."

Li Xin stood with his hands down, and said in a calm voice, "Well, Li Xin has confessed to this crime."

Li Xin turned his head and clasped his fists to the Chengde Emperor: "Your Majesty, I was indeed kidnapped by the remnants of Southern Shu that day. I have confessed my crime."

Emperor Chengde frowned slightly, not understanding why Li Xin changed his words suddenly.

He clearly had the upper hand, as long as he continued to speak, he could force Li Yan to withdraw the impeachment statement, and maybe even make Li Shilang bow his head and admit his mistake, but at this time, Li Xin actually admitted it?

Emperor Chengde's face darkened, and he said: "Since you admit it, then I can't tolerate you, right and left warriors, detain Li Xin, and hand it over to the Sanju Judiciary for conviction at a certain date!"

Li Xin bowed his head and clasped his fists, "Your Majesty, I haven't finished talking yet."

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "Then I will listen to your nonsense."

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, at the Hanzhou Mansion that day, the officials and Wang Mo and others from the Jinwei Battalion lived near the Pingnan Army. At that time, Cheng Ping claimed to be [-] Pingnan Army, and the Hanzhou Mansion fell in one day. Nearly [-] rebels in Hanzhou were wiped out!"

Speaking of this, Li Xin half-kneeled on the ground, lowered his head and cupped his fists: "But that day, after I entered the Hanzhou Mansion, I was dragged into the residence by the deputy general of the Pingnan Army Cheng Ping, and I didn't even see the appearance of a battlefield. In the middle of the night, I was even kidnapped by more than 100 Shu people!"

Speaking of this, Li Xin's voice was sharp: "A few days ago, I believed that the Pingnan army was loyal, brave and patriotic, so I didn't take this matter to heart. I never thought that Li Shilang would actually beat him up now. Li Shilang can join the minister, and the minister must also Join the Pingnan Army in southern Xinjiang!"

Captain Li said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I am a member of the Pingnan Army Gou--"

"All right--"

Li Xin hadn't said the word "collusion" before he was interrupted by an old voice. Li Xin turned his head to look, and saw a gray-haired old man standing out from the first row of civil servants holding a wat in his hand. Facing the Emperor Chengde, he bent down and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Li Duwei has no reason to collude with Nanshu, and it is unlikely that he would do such a thing. It may be that Li Shilang made a mistake. This matter is complicated and confusing. It is better not to put it in the court hall."

This is Huan Chu, the servant of the door, the prime minister who is serious.

Now the Jin court does not want to start a war with Nanjiang for the time being, and Nanjiang does not dare to go to war with the Dajin court. Li Xin knows this very well, so he said the words just now to start a war. If the two sides want to maintain the status quo, they must work together Li Xin was saved.

Huan Chu, representing the Jin court, began to protect Li Xin.

Emperor Chengde coughed, looked at Li Yan, the servant of the Ministry of War on the right, and said with a smile: "Li Qing, you heard what Prime Minister Huan said, what do you think?"

Li Yan glanced at Li Xin in surprise and anger, sweat was already oozing from his forehead.

This kid is so ruthless!

The imperial court is unwilling to fight this battle, but it cannot be fought in southern Xinjiang. Once it is fought, the whole Li family will die.
