Chapter 175 (1/2)

I saw Zhang Ji stagger out of the crowd of guards. His clothes were crumpled and his hair was a little messy in the pushing. Now his face was red, and he seemed to be greatly insulted. As soon as he came in, he knelt down and kowtowed to the Emperor: ”Your Majesty, I'm wronged!”

Zhang Ji has been an official in the imperial court for so many years, which is quite important. It is rare for him to look so embarrassed. Even the emperor could not beat and scold him easily, otherwise it would cold the hearts of all the courtiers. He said, ”Aiqing is flat.”

Zhang Ji raised his head and didn't rush to stand up. He just raised his head and looked angrily, as if he was going to faint in the next second. After a while, he said, ”I have never done anything disrespectful in my life. Now someone insists on throwing dirty water on me, which has ruined my reputation. My intention is extremely dangerous. Please make your decision for me!”

With a long sigh, the emperor turned his eyes to Xuanhua. Xuanhua opened his mouth slightly. It seemed that he had not yet recovered from the sudden change. Suddenly aware of the emperor's eyes, he raised his head. Suddenly, he was shocked by the ice in the eyes of the emperor. He stood in the same place like falling into the ice cellar and did not dare to move.

Zhang Ji was proved to be innocent, and there was no shortage of military pay at all. Naturally, someone wanted to wrongly Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji has been an official all his life. He has a heavy weight in the court. If he is a bit of a brain, he will not attack him. Then, he is going to attack the people behind him again. If Zhang Ji is framed, Xuanli is the first one to be suspected. Now, the fifth Prince Xuanhua is the one who sees Xuanli as a thorn in the eye.

Those courtiers who had just fallen into the well did not dare to say a word. The Xuanhua faction were silent. No one could understand what had happened. The news they got was 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. How dare they go to the edge of the knife.

Xuanli's courtiers, however, put on airs to watch good plays, and could not hide their arrogance.

Xuanli sighed and gently comforted him: ”Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be sad. He has been an official for so many years, and his character is just and comfortable. His father will make the decision for you.”

Zhang Jifen said: ”if it's just insulting the old minister, it's all right. But it's clear that the movement is to delay the journey of the logistics troops. If the military pay is not sent to the border one day, the soldiers will suffer another day. This. It's clearly a bad intention. I want to embarrass the soldiers of Dajin dynasty! ”

I was shocked when I said this. Even the emperor sitting on the nine dragon chair suddenly burst out a cold color in his eyes.

Xuanhua yelled in his heart. It was the undercurrent between the princes, but he taught the old man a word about the border war. Everyone knows that the war between Dajin Dynasty and Tianjin state is the least mentioned. Although it seems that the great Jin Dynasty has won many victories because of the arrival of the royal guards, the danger in it can not be attributed to the external humanity. This is a knife hanging on the palace of huatuan brocade cluster in Dajin Dynasty. No one can touch it. Now Zhang Ji puts it in front of the public, and it also leads to the bloodstain on the knife. Since ancient times, the emperor was suspicious. What would the emperor think? I'm afraid I'll think that I'm in the mood of harming the country, and then I'll guess that there's even the possibility of cooperating with the enemy!

Without sufficient evidence, the case can not be convicted. The news is so strange that even Xuanhua can't determine the source of the news. The emperor can't find the messenger. He must be even more suspicious. He thinks that Xuanhua's ability is so great that even he can't control it. This is not a good sign for the emperor.

”Ai Qing, there is something strange in this matter. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation.” The emperor said deeply, and the chill in his words surprised everyone present. No matter how clear the emperor is, his inherent authority is inviolable. Now that the people behind him are playing with him like monkeys, they will be caught out. What's the good end? He looked at Zhang Ji, who was kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes, and comforted him: ”I still need you, and so do the soldiers of the great Jin Dynasty. I'm sure that person will pay the price for this. It's just that the border is tight now, so I have to go to Aiqing for the future. Now it's too late. I'll leave tomorrow instead. Aiqing will go back to her house today and have a good rest. I'll make a decision later. ”

This is to appease Zhang Ji and seriously pursue the matter. Xuanhua felt more and more bad when he heard it, but if he spoke at the moment, he would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire. He had to swallow all the resentment in silence, but his face was so ugly that he almost walked away.

Now that the emperor has put down his airs, Zhang Ji has no reason to take Qiao. He thanks the emperor for his kindness, and the great war of military pay gradually subsides. Zhang Ji will naturally receive the compensation from the palace when he returns to the palace. It is not very pleasant for a generation of old ministers to be stigmatized. On the surface, it seems that Zhang Ji was wronged, but in fact, it was not painful. On the contrary, it made the emperor trust him more. At the end of the play, Xuanhua was the only loser.

The Emperor didn't blame Xuanhua at the moment, but today's every move fell into the eyes of the emperor. He would think and look at it in his heart. Sometimes, it doesn't need full evidence and assurance to achieve a certain goal. As long as you bury a seed of doubt in each other's heart and wait for it to sprout, one day this seed will burst out with great power at a certain opportunity. Today's event is a seed buried in the emperor's heart. The emperor doubted Xuanhua. From then on, what Xuanhua did in the eyes of the Emperor may not have no other mind. He lost the opportunity from the beginning.Today's loser is Xuanhua, and the biggest winner is Xuanli. He didn't do anything, even didn't appear, but he easily won the emperor's sympathy and trust, and paved the way for his next plan. When he passed Xuanhua slowly, he gave a smile and looked at Xuanhua's gloomy eyes, as if with a trace of indifference. Xuanhua clenched his fist tightly to control that no one hit him.

Behind Xuan Li, there was a smiling look at him, which came from the crowd of officials and did not attract special attention. It was a young man in a purple official uniform, with a small beard and meaningful eyes. When he took back his eyes, he was surprised to find that there was a man standing not far away from him watching Xuanli quietly. He was not mature yet, but a young child with beautiful and beautiful eyes. He was like a good glazed stone, but his eyes were cold and deep, and he was a little familiar.

The child seemed to feel his eyes, turned around, gave him a cold stare, turned around, and the little eunuch on one side rushed to meet him: ”Your Highness 13, go slowly...”

Qi Feng was slightly stunned, then shook his head and left.

……

When Zhang Ji returned to the palace, it was not surprising that the emperor's edict came next. He rewarded some gold and silver rights as consolation. After comforting all the people in the house, it was dark. Zhang Ji went back to his study, lit the oil lamp, took out a box from under the desk and gave it to the person standing opposite.

Obviously, the man had been waiting in his study for a long time. Seeing Zhang Ji's action, he laughed with satisfaction: ”Mr. Zhang's action is really quick. I'm going to reply to your highness. In the future, when your highness achieves the great cause, he will surely write down the first-class merit to Mr. Zhang. ”

Zhang Ji said with a smile: ”Mr. Jiang has a great reputation. Now I'm a man who will fall into the Loess with half my foot. What's the glory and wealth. It is the hero of young master Jiang who is a legend of the great Jin Dynasty

The people in the study are not others, but Jiang Chao. At the moment, he and Zhang Ji have reached a certain consensus when they praise each other. However, this alliance is based on the fact that the interests come together and the sincerity and falsehood are distinguished. Zhang Ji secretly scolds the boy opposite for his vicious mind, and is more willing to be Xuanli's dog. He shyly asks for food from Xuanli's hands. But Jiang Chao also secretly despises Zhang Ji's indifferent attitude. It's not all for power.

However, no matter what is in my heart, I always smile on my face. Looking at the small box handed over to Jiang Chao, Zhang Ji said with a smile: ”this is the key to the warehouse for storing military salaries. There are 800 cars in total. Mr. Jiang has to do things more cleanly to save money.”

”Naturally,” Jiang Chao also said with a smile, ”this is an important part of your Highness's great cause. How can something go wrong. Thank you for your key today. I'd like to wish you a pleasant journey tomorrow. ”

Zhang Ji also gave him a smile: ”chenggongzi Jiyan.”

After they had talked, Jiang Chao left from the back door of Zhang's house. It was the third night of the night. The capital was dark, and there was no star in the sky. Maybe it was raining, even the moon was missing, and dark clouds were hanging in the sky. It was a night when I couldn't see my fingers.

Jiang Chao rode all the way to the back of a huge courtyard warehouse in the east of the city. He saw that the warehouse was extremely high. It was half the height of the city wall, and all the army's pay was in it. All the people outside had arrived. Jiang Chao threw the key to the person standing in front of him. He opened the door of the warehouse with the key as if he had received a uniform instruction. Then the people waiting around moved together and put down the things on the other side's car. One side carried things in from the warehouse, and the other side carried things out from the warehouse.

This is the line is to steal the beam and exchange the pillar. Jiang Chao watched with pride until a man came to his side and said, ”everything can be done?”

Jiang Chao looked back and saw that Xia Jun was standing in the deep night, only holding a small torch. His eyes were red by the light of the fire, which was a bit strange. He looked a meal, said: ”complete management, even around the people in the way to kill a clean.”

Xia Jun nodded, looking at the tall warehouse in and out of the people, the face did not show too much joy. Jiang Chao noticed his expression and said strangely, ”cousin, what are you worried about?”

Xia Jun shook his head, and his eyes flashed a strange color: ”I don't know why, there is always a feeling of uneasiness...” It all happened so well. Whether it's a play in Jinluan palace directed and performed by Zhang Ji or stealing a beam and changing a pillar in the warehouse at the moment, everything happens too naturally and smoothly. A pair of upward eyes suddenly appear in his mind. The eyebrows are slightly bent, looking at it is smiling, and the deep irony in his eyes. Xia Jun heart a surprised, just feel like a basin of cold water, pocket head down, immediately down a breath of cool air.

After a while, he said to Jiang Chao, ”what's the change in Jiang Ruan?”

”She stayed in King Jinying's palace all day, and she never went in,” Jiang Chao said with a cold smile. ”Cousin, you don't have to worry too much. She didn't come out at all. How can you know our plan? It's hard to predict it?”
