6. Eliminate thieves and make thieves again

This letter was written by Ma Chang, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, to his father on the Heshuo front line. Ma Chang asked his family slaves to take him on the road. In order to keep it a secret, Lu Qi sent his confidant to closely monitor the residence of Ma Sui's family in Anyifang, the capital city. Therefore, Ma Chang's family slaves were captured by Jinwu soldiers as soon as they left the city, and the letter was found on him.

Unfortunately, Ma Sui originally thought he had grasped the handle and secretly reported Zhu Li, preparing to drag Li Baozhen into the water.

Who would have thought that in a flash, Lu Qi grabbed his handle with his backhand, but it was still real.

The content of the letter made Li Shi Leiting angry. Ma Chang slandered the emperor's policy of reducing vassals and said to his father: "The spring drought in Guanzhong is difficult, and the people's lives are difficult, and the border troops have no clothes and food, but Jingzhao Yin still includes merchants and strips the rice from the cellar... Zhu Taiwei went to the court to wait for punishment. The soldiers in Youzhou who stayed in Fengxiang were in panic, and many people hid in the mountains to make thieves... My father was responsible for the Dongfangyue of Hedong and the Lost Ten Thousand Kings of the People, so that the people could ask for the orders of the people of the world. They could withdraw their troops and return to the town, report to the emperor in person, pardon Heshuo and Ziqing, so that the people could recuperate."

In the letter, in order to express his "I am not alone", Ma Chang also listed his like-minded comrades: Li Yunduan, the Chief of the Palace, Yuan Feng, and other eleven young officials.

Most of Ma Chang and this group of people were second or third generations. They liked to have banquets on weekdays. When they were drunk, they would whisper and point out the country. As a result, they had long attracted the attention of the insidious Lu Qi, so they placed chess pieces in it, and indeed spied out fatal information.

The emperor was so angry that his hands were trembling. He suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground without standing firmly. This seemed to be a family disease of the Li Tang royal family. "Lu Qing, the fang soldiers of the Prince of Hechuan came to the capital, how did he say about Heshuo?"

"I have asked this fangshang officer named Cai Fonu in detail. His words must represent what the prince of Hechuan saw and heard, and it is absolutely impossible to fake."

“Say it…”

"Li Sheng, the Prince of Hechuan, said that after the Huanshui War, Tian Yue's army was destroyed by eight or nine out of ten times and should have been surrendered. There were only two or three thousand rebels in the Wei Mansion. It was indeed a great opportunity for Ma Pushe to kill the enemy in the Buddhist temple in Pingyi County and missed the opportunity to destroy the enemy!" Lu Qi hurriedly answered loudly.

"One thief will be eliminated, and another thief will be born again." The emperor gritted his teeth.

At this time, Lu Qi hurriedly asked the emperor what to do.

In the end, the emperor became rational, "Ma Sui now controls tens of thousands of teams in Heshuo, and cannot force him to rebel. He asked the official to send his son's letter to him and ask him to do it himself... In addition, Ma Chang is guilty, and Ma Sui may not know about it, but everyone else will not forgive him. The palace chief Li Yunduan, the sergeant Yuan Feng, Shan Chaoxin and other eleven people will not have to go to Dali Temple to judge and directly hand it over to Jingzhao Mansion to kill the stick!"

Speaking of Jingzhao Mansion, Lu Qi immediately asked in a low voice: "Saint Lord, the former censor Yu Wen Hong falsely spread the fu to Cai Tingyu, and Zhu Tiwei died of falling into the water..."

"Has this man been recruited in the Censorate Prison?"

"I've admitted it, and he begged Your Majesty not to implicate his family - Yuwen Hong has only a daughter, and she married a slander from the 12th year of Dali. Now he is a proofreader of the Secretariat."

"I have not entered the ye court without his daughter and weaving clothes for the border army for three years. Yuwen Hong himself delivered it to Jingzhao Mansion and killed it together. As for Li Feng, he should not know about it. He asked him to divorce Yuwen Hong's daughter, so he would not be implicated. By the way, who was the one who instructed Yuwen Hong?"

"Biandong, Bao Ji, a tax-transferring man who was taxed by Jianghuai, can transport southeastern wealth, money and silk to the capital by autumn. At that time, Your Majesty will replenish him with Li Huaiguang's troops. The soldiers are very fast, so Li Huaiguang can advance to Heshuo first."
