Chapter 711: Scare you

Originally, he just said it casually. Seeing that Zhao Ji had no intention of protecting him, Li Bangyan suddenly realized that there seemed to be something to do here. Li Bangyan thought for a while and smiled and said, "Your Majesty said this, but the old minister remembered another thing."

When Zhao Ji saw Li Bangyan chattering, he felt unhappy, but after all, he was the chief assistant for a day, so he had to say patiently: "If you have anything to say directly, I'm listening."

Li Bangyan bowed his body and sat upright, saying seriously: "The last time Yu Shen cleared the grievances of King Pingxi and saw through the true face of the Zheng family, which is really gratifying." He stroked his long beard and shook his head and continued: "The so-called net of heaven is vast and sparse, and the Zheng family is doing many unrighteous things. Now Your Majesty is conscious and thunderous, which is considered to be their own fruit. But then again, Yu Shen was really strange that day. That *** was interrogating King Pingxi..." He looked at Zhao Ji's face carefully, and saw that Zhao Ji was not angry.

After signs, he said boldly: "But why did all the civil and military officials in the court impeach the Zheng family later? The old minister did not mean that the Zheng family was not guilty. The Zheng family deserved it. The old minister meant that it would be fine if the censors in the court impeached it. Even Duke Jing, Duke Mao and others stood up. But why did Xihe join in the fun? Suddenly, the Zheng family was impeached one-sidedly. Your Majesty, there was nothing trivial about it. The old minister always felt that behind the town here, there seemed to be someone secretly instigating and someone was in contact."

Li Bangyan's expression became serious and he said seriously: "Who is this person who has such great ability that the soldiers of my Song Dynasty obey his arrangements? Your Majesty must observe this matter."

After hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but fall into deep thoughts, and then said lightly: "The person behind you is King Pingxi?"

Li Bangyan licked his mouth and laughed: "The old minister dares not speak lies."

Although he dared not speak lies, his words just now were very thorough. Who was the one who was not Pingxi? The Song Dynasty has always been most suspicious of military personnel. This was a national policy that lasted for hundreds of years. Otherwise, eunuchs and literati would not be in charge of the army, and they would not always be strong and weak. They would supplement a large number of elite troops to the capital and train more than 100,000 imperial guards. It was only in the past few decades that border affairs have been unstable, and the power of the border troops has been strengthened. However, it is indeed uneasy that the border troops are far away from the capital. Li Bangyan grasped this weakness. You must know, what did the Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty start with? Who knows whether this history will happen again?

Li Bangyanman thought that after he said this, Zhao Ji would be furious and would investigate it thoroughly at the worst. Anyone who touched this bottom line would rather kill than tolerate it. Who knew that Zhao Ji smiled coldly, looked at Li Bangyan deeply, and said in a mocking tone: "Is Li Aiqing's words intended?"

Li Bangyan was confused and felt something was wrong. He hurriedly said, "The old minister is just preparing for the future..." His butt slid down from the Jindun, knelt down straight, and said, "Every word of the old minister is from public intention. Please observe clearly."

Zhao Ji smiled faintly, leaned on the carved sandalwood chair behind him, raised his hand and said, "Get up, since it is out of public intention, I won't blame you."

Seeing that things had turned around, a hint of joy flashed in Li Bangyan's eyes and raised his face and said, "Your Majesty means..."

"I have no intention. Since you asked that, I will show you. Come and take the memorials from three sides." Zhao Ji said lazyly.

After a while, an eunuch came in with a stack of memorials and sent them to the imperial desk. Zhao Ji picked up a few books and said, "Let's read it yourself."

Li Bangyan took the memorial and looked at it ten lines, even his heart was cold. He had never read these memorials before. Now at first glance, he knew why he was going to be like this today. Although the memorials of the border generals were impeaching the Zheng family, there were actually one or two letters between the lines that were about King Pingxi. He complained about King Pingxi, saying that he would stop temporarily in Xihe, and that he would have to work to allocate rations from the border town to deal with it. In addition, he had to entertain him warmly, and he didn't know how much money he spent on food. It was said that he was exhausted and he was hurt by money.

Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said, "What do you think Li Aiqing?"

Li Bangyan was speechless. He said that Chen Ao instigated the border general to impeach the Zheng family, but if Li Bangyan said that Chen Ao instigated the border general to scold him, would Your Majesty believe this sentence? He couldn't help but think that the four words "defusing the people and hurt money" would have been dealt with by another official. But he was talking about the King of Pingxi, and every time the King of Pingxi passed through Xihe, it was for the Xixia. With the holy family of Pingxi and the contribution of going to and from Xixia, this waste of money is not a serious crime. But because he added a few more lines of words, Li Bangyan was about to let go, but it ended up hitting the iron wall, which was really embarrassing.

Li Bangyan hurriedly said, "The old minister died, so he shouldn't guess himself. He should judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Please give up the crime."

Zhao Ji sighed and said, "I know that your relationship with King Pingxi is not good, but there is no need to say this in the future. I have always believed in King Pingxi. Don't say that the border general did not communicate with Shen Aoan, even if he really had any personal affair, I still trust him. Get up, if you have nothing to do, go and do your official duties soon. This year has not been over yet. I can't be interested in anything I do now, and I will not care about the affairs of the outside court for the time being."

Li Bangyan was embarrassed and quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty's admonition, the old minister must not forget each other, the old minister said goodbye."

Li Bangyan came out of Wenjing Pavilion in disappointment, feeling his face was lost, and he thought he had seized the handle of others. Who knew that this was a damn pit, and he jumped down happily. Although His Majesty said that those who don’t know are not blamed, who knows what he would think? After thinking for a moment, he couldn’t help feeling depressed and secretly warned himself not to be greedy for merit and advance. People like the King of Pingxi will never be easily defeated.

After walking a few steps, he saw someone riding into the palace. Although he couldn't see the person clearly, the only one who could ride in the palace was probably the King of Pingxi. Now the narrow road meeting made Li Bangyan feel even more frustrated. He gritted his teeth and met him. Sure enough, he saw Chen Ao's heroic horse standing in the distance, and he still smiled and said, "Mrs. Li also has time to enter the palace today?"

Half a month ago, the two were still fighting each other, but now Shen Ao greeted Li Bangyan like nothing happened.

Li Bangyan smiled and said, "Have you entered the palace too?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "After the New Year, I became deserted and had no official duties, so I simply went to the palace to take a look." He rode his horse in front of Li Bangyan, looked down at Li Bangyan from a high place, looked at Li Bangyan deeply, and said, "At the New Year, I wrote a letter to my subordinate Li, I wonder if the subordinate Li received it?"

Li Bangyan laughed dryly and said, "I have already replied to Your Highness. Since I have replied to you, of course I have received it."

Chen Ao seemed to remember and said, "It's a pity that this king accidentally threw the reply from the subordinate Li to the charcoal basin. I wonder what the reply from the subordinate Li to the reply?"

Li Bangyan said deeply to Chen Ao: "I have received more of Your Highness's good wishes, but I am not old and faint. This old bone can finally do something, but I am afraid that your Highness will disappoint you."

Chen Ao stared at him, raised a mocking smile on his lips, and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force it anymore. Li's subordinates should do it themselves." He turned off his horse, and an eunuch not far away came quickly to hold the reins of the horse. After sitting on the horse for a long time, his legs and feet were a little sore and numb. Chen Ao had to lift his boots and activate his muscles and bones, and continued, "Has the Zheng family's order been issued?"

Li Bangyan was quite a bit disgusting. Chen Ao asked in front of him, but he was not angry at all. He bowed and said, "I just sent it to the Ministry of Public Security today. Your Majesty means to press it until the fifteenth time before giving it out."

Chen Ao continued to stamp his feet and said, "Have you been convicted?"

Li Bangyan said patiently: "It is a two major crime to collude with the enemy and deceive the emperor. The other minor crimes are seven, and they have been decided. Your Majesty personally checked the family and confiscated the family."

Such a result was already expected by Shen Ao. Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "That's good. More than one hundred people have to cut their heads. It would be a pity if they don't go to join in the fun. Should Li go and have a look? I will reserve a good place for you."

Li Bangyan knew that Chen Ao was a pun. The so-called leaving a good seat can be said to leave a seat for the audience, or a beheaded seat, which means that the next head to be chopped is Li Bangyan.

Li Bangyan smiled cheerfully and said, "This is not necessary. I am busy with official duties, and I am not allowed to slack off in all matters in the country and the world. How can I have such leisure and elegance? Your Highness, I have said goodbye."

The two parted ways. Chen Ao arrived at Wenjing Pavilion. An eunuch had already come in to report. When he saw Chen Ao coming, he smiled and said to Chen Ao: "The palace is just right, and Your Majesty said that you will never see your people."

Chen Ao nodded, imitating Li Bangyan's tone: "I am busy with official duties, and I cannot slack off in all aspects of the country and the world. How can I have such leisure and elegance to come to see you every day?" After saying that, I felt it was a bit inappropriate, which meant that Zhao Ji had leisure and elegance every day. Isn't this a foolish monarch?

But then again, the tyrant monarch has problems, and the real man Chen Ao did not leave behind. He said that he was not a tyrant monarch, so wouldn’t Liu Chan and the Lord Li die unjustly?

Entering Wenjing Pavilion, looking up, Zhao Ji stroked the imperial desk with a serious face, and his eyebrows slightly pressed down, as if he had something to do, Chen Ao didn't notice it when he came in.

"Your Majesty..." Chen Ao deliberately made a high volume and shouted.

Zhao Ji came back to his senses and said, "You are here just right, I happen to have something to ask you."

Chen Ao laughed and said, "I happened to have something to report."
