Chapter 352 Entering the urn (1)
Xuan Hua saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his lips raised, just struggling to death. Today is Xuan Li's death!
At this moment, the chief soldier who was looking for military pay outside had already returned to report, and walked in with great strides and knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, I will investigate with the order. There is no shortage of military pay for the logistics troops, and I will stay here."
Xuan Hua's smile froze, and Zhang Ji's angered voice outside: "Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged-"
Zhang Ji has been an official in the court for so many years, and it is rare to look as embarrassed as he is now. Even the emperor cannot beat and scold him easily, otherwise the hearts of the court officials will be disappointed. He said, "I'm calm."
Zhang Ji raised his head and did not rush to stand up. He just raised his head's eyes and was angry, as if he was about to faint in anger in the next second. He slowed down and said: "The old minister asked himself that he had never done anything despised. Now someone insisted on pouring dirty water on the old minister, which ruined the reputation of the old minister. His intentions were so sinister. I would like to ask Your Majesty to make the decision for the old minister!"
The emperor sighed and his eyes turned to Xuan Hua suddenly. Xuan Hua opened his mouth slightly, as if he had not recovered from this sudden change. Suddenly he realized the emperor's gaze, and he raised his head and suddenly felt cold in his heart due to the coldness in the emperor's eyes. He stood there like a falling from an ice cellar, and did not dare to move.
Zhang Ji was proven innocent, and the military pay was not enough, so naturally someone would wrongly accuse Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji had a great weight in the court all his life, and he would not attack him even if he had a little brain. Then he would attack the people behind Zhang Ji again. If Zhang Ji was framed, the first person to be suspected was Xuan Li. And now who in the court and the country regards Xuan Li the most as a thorn in his eyes is naturally the fifth prince Xuan Hua.
The court officials who were still taking advantage of the situation just now did not dare to say a word. The people of Xuanhua faction were silent and no one understood what was going on. The news they received in their hands was naturally that Zhang Ji would be investigated and punished for stealing military pay today, but now Zhang Ji is safe and sound, the news must be wrong, so why dare to hit the knife?
However, the court officials of Xuanli's faction all took the air of watching the show, and could not hide their arrogance in their eyes.
Xuan Li sighed and comforted gently: "Mr. Zhang, don't be sad. He has been a official for so many years and is fair and free in the hearts of the people. His father will definitely make the decision for you."
Zhang Jiying said: "If you just insult the old minister, it would be fine, but this movement clearly means delaying the journey of the baggage troops. If the military pay is not sent to the border for a day, the soldiers will endure the bitter cold for an additional day. This... it is obviously a bad intention and want to make things difficult for the soldiers of my Dajinhui border!"
As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked. Even the emperor sitting on the nine-level dragon chaise suddenly burst into his eyes.
Xuan Hua shouted in his heart that it was a surging undercurrent among the princes, but he taught this old man to say the border war. Everyone knows that the war between the Dajin Dynasty and Tianjin State is the least mentioned. Although the Dajin Dynasty has received good news on the surface because of the arrival of the Jinyiwei, the danger cannot be told to outsiders. This is a knife hanging on the flower cluster palace of the Dajin Dynasty, and no one can touch it. Now Zhang Ji put the knife clearly in front of everyone, and also led to blood on the knife. Since ancient times, the emperor was suspicious. What would the emperor think? He was afraid that he had the intention to harm the country. If he speculated deeply, there might be those who could connect with the enemy!
The matter cannot be convicted without sufficient evidence. The news was spread for no reason. Even Xuanhua could not determine the source of the news. The emperor could not find the person who was passing the message, and he must be even more surprised and believed that Xuanhua's ability was so great that he could not control it. This was really not a good sign for the emperor.
"My dear, there is something strange about this matter. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation." The emperor said in a deep voice. The coldness in his words made everyone present shocked. No matter how clear the emperor looked at him, his natural majesty was not allowed to be violated. Since the person behind him was playing like a monkey, if he was really caught out, what good ending would be? He looked at Zhang Ji, who was kneeling on the ground and cried, and comforted him: "I still need you, and the soldiers of the Dajin Dynasty also need you. Today I have been so useless, I will definitely have to pay the price for this. But now the border is tight, and I have to go to the future. Now it's too late, so I will set off tomorrow. My dear will return home to rest and rest today. I will write an order later."
This is to appease Zhang Ji and to investigate the matter seriously. The more Xuan Hua listened, the more he felt it was bad, but if he spoke at this moment, he would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire, and he had to swallow all his resentment without saying a word, but his face was surprisingly ugly and he almost left.
Since the emperor had put down his airs, Zhang Ji had no reason to take Qiao. He thanked the emperor for his gratitude in a stack of voices. This huge military pay storm slowly subsided. After Zhang Ji returned to his house, he would naturally receive compensation from the palace. It was indeed a displeasure to be slandered by an old minister. On the surface, it seemed that Zhang Ji was wronged, but in fact it was not painful, but instead made the emperor trust more. In the end of this scene, the only one who lost was Xuan Hua.
The emperor did not blame Xuan Hua at the moment, but today's every move fell into the emperor's eyes, and he would also think and look at him in his heart. Sometimes, achieving a certain goal does not require sufficient evidence and determination. As long as a seed of doubt is quietly buried in the other party's heart, waiting for it to sprout, one day this seed will burst out with extremely huge power at a certain opportunity. Today's thing is a seed buried in the emperor's heart. The emperor became suspicious of Xuan Hua. From then on, what Xuan Hua did may not have no other thoughts. He lost the initiative from the beginning.
Today's loser is Xuan Hua, but the biggest winner is Xuan Li. He did nothing at all, and he didn't even come forward, but he easily won the sympathy and trust of the emperor and paved the way for his next plan. As he passed by Xuan Hua slowly, he smiled slightly, and looked at Xuan Hua's gloomy gaze as if there was a trace of contempt. Xuan Hua clenched his fist tightly before he controlled his punch without hitting it.
Behind Xuan Li, there was a smiling gaze staring at him. The gaze came from the crowd of officials and was not particularly noticeable. It was a young man in purple official uniform with a circle of mustache, with a meaningful look in his eyes. When he withdrew his gaze, he unexpectedly found that there was a person standing not far beside him, staring at Xuan Li quietly. The person had not yet grown up, but was just a young child, with beautiful and delicate eyes as bright as the best glass stone, but his eyes were cold and deep, and he was a little familiar.
The child seemed to feel his gaze, turned his head, stared at him coldly, turned around, and the little eunuch on the side hurriedly greeted him: "Your Highness Thirteenth, go slowly..."
