Chapter 1699: Overturning the clouds and covering the rain
If Li Dongyang dared to say this in front of the civil and military officials of the court and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time, he would have had a long history.
Taking a deep breath, he glanced at Zhu Zaiyao, who was already in a state of confusion, and said, "Your Highness, all this is caused by Ye Chunqiu."
What we have to do first is to make a conclusion on the whole matter. Although everyone's expression was dull, the storm in their hearts aroused.
At this time, Li Dongyang continued, "Your Majesty, Ye Chunqiu could have defended Qinglong, but he was not right. He had to go to Jinzhou. The old minister and Eunuch Liu knew that it was a bad idea to help Jinzhou. Naturally, they knew the risks and repeatedly advised each other. However, Ye Chunqiu was determined to do so. He held military power and did not take others seriously when he was outside the pass? He had to do so. The old minister had no choice but to stay in Qinglong with Eunuch Liu, but he still followed him. Unexpectedly, the army was ambushed halfway. The old minister and Eunuch Liu were lucky enough to escape, but others..."
He began to talk about it vividly. He had thought about this trick countless times in his mind. The responsibility for the defeat this time was naturally borne by Ye Chunqiu. Anyway, others were dead, so who would bear it? Because he firmly believed that Ye Chunqiu no longer survived, Li Dongyang also denounced it here.
Li Dongyang then paused: "Your Highness, the nearly 10,000 new troops have been destroyed since then, which has led to the deterioration of the situation outside the pass. But Your Majesty still misses Ye Chunqiu and insists on staying in Qinglong to compete with the Tatars. My ministers and Eunuch Liu persuaded each other again, but Your Majesty refused to do so and ordered someone to send the old ministers and Eunuch Liu back to Beijing..."
Speaking of this, Li Dongyang gritted his teeth and continued, "If Your Majesty makes mistakes, Ye Chunqiu will be blamed, Your Highness..."
Everyone had already gasped, and some had even turned pale.
In fact, logic is that since Ye Chunqiu has died in battle, it is a big deal for death. Now no one is in the mood to settle the score with Qiu Hou. However, after Li Dongyang's words, he put all the blame on Ye Chunqiu. If His Majesty really had a chance, I'm afraid... the next one will be a liquidation.
In Li Dongyang's idea, although Ye Chunqiu was dead, he still had a father? Didn't he have a father-in-law Wang Hua? Isn't he still have a huge family business like Zhenguo Mansion?
Liu Jin had already understood at this time that Li Dongyang wanted to settle the score in the autumn and uproot the people related to Ye Chunqiu in one fell swoop. At that time, the crazy ministers and students of the court and the public will definitely point everything at Wang Hua and the prince of Liaoyang Ye Jing. As long as these two people collapsed, the overall situation in the court will be completely in the hands of him, an old minister of the three dynasties.
What's more, in the palace, there is also Liu Jin who is controlled by him and works with him. If he hooks up inside and outside, he will be extremely powerful.
In addition, behind Li Dongyang, I am afraid there are some people who have not yet shown any sign of dew. At that time, Li Dongyang wants to be Zhou Gong and Huo Guang, who can stop him?
Liu Jin gritted his teeth, but remained silent.
He knew that Li Dongyang had killed himself, and this guy just caught him being greedy for life and fearful of death.
In the hall, countless whispers suddenly came, and these accusations finally made the originally sad atmosphere mixed with a little anger.
Originally, the situation was too busy to take responsibility and was really not in the mood to hold the Duke of Zhenguo accountable, but now the witnesses jumped out, it was obviously different. Who is Mr. Li? How could he say something false? Although the rumors are all the same, it said that Ye Chunqiu was determined to act alone, but it was too difficult to use rumors to convict Duke Zhenguo. But now, the truth is right in front of him, what else can I say?
If Your Majesty dies outside the pass again, it will be even more angry and resentful. Everyone in the Ye family will be punished.
Wang Hua's face had collapsed. He heard many whispers, mostly innumerable words. He pretended to remain silent, thinking in his heart that once he reached that point, he could only be forced to retire and return home. He was worried about his son-in-law and his son Wang Shouren. Now, his head had already grown brightly, and his heart was extremely cold.
Zhu Zaiyao's face had also changed drastically. He suddenly became a little uncontrollable, so he couldn't help looking at Liu Jin who had been silent and said, "Liu Jin, do you think this is true?"
Liu Jin fell to the ground, his heart was full of ups and downs, but what else could he say? Does he have any choice? So he had to bow down and choke without saying anything.
Liu Jin did not refute, but just cried bitterly. Everyone only said that he was so sad that he could not control himself, which also showed his loyalty to His Majesty, but also made everyone more convinced that what Li Dongyang said was true.
Zhu Zaiyao suddenly jumped off Jindun and said sternly: "The matter has not been found out yet. My father... will come back. I firmly believe that Ya's father would never be so stupid. This matter... I am afraid there is still inside information. It is better to investigate it thoroughly. Master Li and Liu Jin, you are tired when you come back. Please rest assured."
Zhu Zaiyao's attitude was obviously a protective attitude. If it were other emperors, they would have been investigated long ago, but he was not right, so he could only drag it.
Li Dongyang was not surprised by this and did not continue to stick to his own opinions. What he wanted was obviously this effect. If you clicked until it was time, then you should delay it. Your Majesty was in Qinglong, and the Tatars arrived in a flash. No, at this time, the Tatars must have arrived. An isolated city without even a city wall could not even run away. Once the news of His Majesty's death came, who else could the crown prince, the son of a man, protect? The anger of the civil and military officials in the court alone would be enough to tear the Ye family to pieces.
So, he is not in a hurry.
Li Dongyang kowtowed calmly and said, "Yes, the old minister obeys the order."
Then he stood up and retreated with Liu Jin.
Liu Jin staggered, and at this time he became more and more nervous. He glanced at Li Dongyang and understood that soon, no one in this world could stop this human power from being the world. He gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he seemed tired.
Although he was in a panic, Liu Jin had just returned and was about to go to the Silijian, but Li Dongyang was there and laughed and said, "Eunuch Liu, look, in the blink of an eye, it's been a turbulent rain. What do you think of me?"
Liu Jin felt that this person was becoming more and more unscrupulous, so he shook his head and said, "Mr. Li is a good method, but..."
"Just what?" Li Dongyang stared at him with bright eyes.
Liu Jin said to the point where he swallowed it again. He knew very well that he had reached this point and there was no need to turn against him. He always had to leave a way out for himself.
