The rebirth of Jiangshan is hired

"What do you want to say, just say it now."

After staring at this son for a long while, the emperor seemed to have finally lost the battle, he lowered his voice helplessly, and spoke in a deep voice like a sigh.

Although he didn't expect his father to change his position so easily, Song Zichen, who was used to being neglected, didn't feel much shock, on the contrary, he just felt that this was much more normal.He calmly folded his hands and leaned back, as if the whole matter had nothing to do with him, and became the most indifferent person in the entire court.

Seeing his indifferent expression, the ministers in the court couldn't help whispering.Some couldn't help feeling that the young general had a calm demeanor, while others nervously waited for the third prince to say something explosive.Only those veteran ministers who were known for their honesty and integrity looked at him, and they couldn't help but sigh with emotion in their eyes.

"Reporting to my father—it's actually not a big deal, but according to my Daqi's military system, this kind of long-distance expedition with high mountains and long distances, the military rations and supplies from my son's side are all allocated in the form of money. At the same time, they bought food of equivalent value to save manpower and reduce losses on the road. However, according to the comparison between the minister and the army, the amount of money sent and the grain received by the army did not seem to match. In order to track down this situation , Er Chen secretly ordered Xue Zhao to investigate carefully, and unexpectedly found that some of the money was sent directly to the seventh brother."

Finally understanding where the other party's secret move was, Song Zichen's eyes suddenly flashed a little sharply, and when he looked at this brother, there was a stern and mocking smile in his eyes.

Immediately there were some whispering voices from the court, and the gaze towards Song Zichen also changed a lot.Meng Daxian originally insisted that Peng Feigui should not let him be impulsive, but he couldn't help but stare his eyes round when he heard this, and was about to move forward, when he was pulled back by Peng Feigui: "Let the general tell you first, what is it for you to rush forward?" ?”

"I—I'm just so angry, how could he talk so casually in broad daylight!"

Meng Daxian was a vulgar person, although he still remembered to suppress his voice when he was in a hurry, many people could still hear him clearly.The court followed in silence for a moment, and then an old voice suddenly came: "Yes, this is just the daylight and the spiel, if a dead man and a white mouth can defile a young man who has made great achievements. General, it is really too ridiculous..."

"Li Shangshu, what do you mean by that?"

Song Zixuan's expression darkened in an instant, and he turned around abruptly, looking at the minister of the Ministry of Rites who had almost reached the age of becoming an official: "This is a matter between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. If you want to investigate, at most one of the Ministry of Punishment will be involved. Please Forgive me, I really don't know—you, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, what advice can you have on this..."

"Naturally, I don't dare to be a high opinion. The old man is just at this age, and he dares to talk about his humble opinion."

Li Shangshu waved his hands with a smile, but he was not annoyed by his offence, he just walked out of the shift and stood still: "The seventh prince is still young, and it is the first time he has fought a war. It is already a victory for him." Young Yingjie, it is naturally impossible to cover everything, so it is not surprising that someone will start from other places - but the one who started is actually the Third Highness, this scene of brothers killing each other, I really don't want to watch it again It's..."

"Father, I dare not kill brothers, but I just do my duty. We are brothers, we should take care of each other, but we can't damage the foundation of the country because of this. I am the elder brother, and I dare not treat my seventh brother slightly." There are indulgences."

Song Zixuan looked at him with a flash of murderous intent, but he didn't argue with him, but turned around and bowed respectfully towards his father, and said aloud.

"Your words are good, but as Li Aiqing said, if you don't have evidence, I can't ask you to frame your brother with empty words."

The emperor looked at the son in front of him, a little impatience finally flashed in his eyes, but the original fear turned into indifference and boredom, almost like a dead fish, and he said in a slightly lower voice: "Go ahead, is it your brother?" The military ration officers and the clerks in the army also obediently handed over the evidence to you."

"Go back to Father, my son is about to talk about this matter."

Song Zixuan seemed to be completely unaware, stood up straight calmly, looked at him calmly, and said, "Although Xue Zhao died, he had secretly sent all the evidence to his ministers before he died, and many of them The clerk is still secretly recording the army's food accounts for the son. The son has brought all the evidence today, and comparing the two, the emperor will know it at a glance."

"Send it up."

The emperor replied in a low voice, but just flipped through the pile of folders, and threw them on the table with a bang, looking at the young son of God who was walking aside: "Chen'er, what do you have to say?"

There is no father and son in the court, and it should be called an official taboo at this time, but I don't want the emperor to call out the "Chen'er" so calmly.All the court ministers couldn't help being shocked, and all of them speculated about the emperor's intentions. Only Song Zichen, who was greeted, still had no special reaction. He just brushed off his sleeves and left the class, and knelt down straight to the emperor: "Father, This son-in-law has only learned how to fight, but has never learned how to manage the food and grass in the army, and he doesn't know what went wrong. Since the third brother said that the son-in-law made a mistake, then the minister probably did make a mistake—"

"Bastard talk!"

He didn't expect that he had maintained himself to this point, and this son would actually give up on himself like this.The emperor couldn't help interrupting his words with anger, and when he was about to explode, he met those dim and silent eyes, but his heart was inexplicably a little sad, and his tone softened unconsciously: "If you have any grievances, just let me know." Can't you talk about it? You have such a bad temper since you were a child, how can you stand in the court?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Marquis Yunhui suddenly came out of duty, saluted the emperor unhurriedly, and blocked Song Zichen behind him.The emperor raised his head subconsciously, and seeing his action, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and after thinking for a while, he nodded slightly: "Your Majesty Yunhui has something to say, I'm listening."

"According to the old minister, the Seventh Prince is not bad-tempered, but really has nothing to say."

Marquis Yunhui glanced around the court hall unhurriedly, and when the old but angry voice was remembered, the court hall immediately fell silent.

"—But what the old minister said is that there is nothing to say, not because he has made a mistake and has nothing to say, nor because the evidence of the crime is convincing, but because he has been wronged too much and held back too much. There is nothing more sorrowful than a dead heart, so I don’t bother to say it, so there is no need to say it.”

Unexpectedly, this grandfather who had never looked directly at him could actually say such a thing. Although he knew that the other party was obviously trying to show his favor, Song Zichen still had some inexplicable feelings, and subconsciously raised his head to look over. He was meeting those dignified but non-hostile eyes.

As he said that, Marquis Yun Hui raised his hand to lift him up.There was still his father up there, Song Zichen didn't dare to get up, and subconsciously stepped back, but Yun Huihou just pulled him up and protected him behind him: "Your Majesty, please allow the Seventh Prince to stand up and speak. It is already a shame to Da Qi for a general who has won such a great victory with the whole army to be polluted by such insidious means in the court. If he is still asked to kneel, I am afraid Chilled the hearts of the entire army.”

"Get up, I didn't intend to ask him to kneel down."

The emperor sighed helplessly, his expression was somewhat complicated, but his anger had gradually dissipated: "What else does Marquis Yunhui have to say, I will listen with all my ears."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hou Yunhui leaned over to thank him, and pushed Song Zichen back to where he was originally standing.Unexpectedly, this grandfather's temper was so hot, Song Zichen staggered a few steps and almost fell, but was supported by a few hands beside him, subconsciously walked over, and met the kind eyes of his fellow ministers.

"Perhaps the Seventh Prince made too much contribution this time, this battle was fought too happily, and the price we paid was too small, which gave you the illusion that everyone in the court can fight this battle, anyone can win it But don't you forget how critical the frontier situation was when we first set out for the expedition, and how timid the people in the court were, not daring to step forward. If the Seventh Prince hadn't stepped forward at that time, the Huns might have died Trampled our palace."

Marquis Yun Hui's eyes swept across the court, his voice was low, and what he said made many ministers bow their heads in shame.

"I have to agree with what Li Shangshu said just now. The Seventh Prince is still young, and it's his first time leading troops to fight. It's not easy for him to fight well. If he can really cover everything, and Kung Fu calmly took advantage of this opportunity to make money for himself, which is really too talented. So the old man actually has no doubt that this piece of evidence should be irrefutable, as long as he can show it, he can cure the disease. The prince is accused of embezzlement of military pay. But apart from that, what the old man wants to say is actually another point - after all, Li Shangshu is a literati, not leading soldiers to fight. What you hear is only brothers killing each other. It sounds like the words of the third prince have already exhausted the difficulties of the seventh prince."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned around, looked at the generals standing behind, and his expression softened a little: "This old man has led soldiers, so he naturally knows the importance of orders and prohibitions in the army. As a general, he should be Orders must be followed, and the army even has the right not to be ordered by the emperor. But the army led by the Seventh Prince actually included a spy who was put in by the Third Prince. General Low, the old man is right, right?"
