Chapter 351 Military Pay (3)

"It's just the beginning," Xuan Li was in a happy mood, but he did not show a complacent expression. No matter when, he maintained a calm and forbearance.

"Your Highness is wise," Jiang Chao said, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at Xuan Li: "This time, thanks to Jiang Meiren's release of the news. It seems that this cooperation is good, and it will be much more convenient to have her in the future." The news was spread by Jiang Dan's idea. There are many women in the harem, and it is easy to rumor. In addition, there is a force behind each person. It seems that it is the harem, but it is actually more complicated and easier to use than the previous dynasty. With a little guidance, you can naturally achieve the desired effect. Jiang Dan is smart, helpless and clean, and no one will doubt her. Jiang Chao sighed: "I thought she was timid, but now it seems that it is not the case. Your Highness has a wise eye and has long expected that she will cooperate with us."

Xuan Li shook his head: "Don't underestimate women. Women are very cunning. As long as they know how to use their bodies and beauty, many men can do things that many men cannot do. Jiang Dan is not a timid person, and her ambition is higher than that of heaven. As for her willingness to cooperate with us, she still agrees so readily, on the one hand, because she understands that she has to rely on our strength in the palace, and on the other hand—" Xuan Li's eyes darkened: "She has a grudge with Jiang Ruan."

"Is there a grudge?" Jiang Chao was puzzled: "She had never done anything to Jiang Ruan in the mansion. She was also Jiang Ruan's mother who raised her. Where did she make a grudge?"

Xuan Li sneered, but did not answer. There were some things that Jiang Chao might not know, but he might not be able to find out. How Zhao Mei died? Xia Yan was cautious when he entered the mansion, but he used Jiang Dan's hand. When he found out the news, Xuan Li was also surprised. After all, Jiang Dan was just a child at the time, but he could attack his mother without hesitation. However, from this point, it can be seen that Jiang Dan was cruel and easy to disguise when he was very young.

It would be a pity if such an excellent chess piece cannot be used by him. I am afraid that Jiang Dan will not have hatred. If Jiang Dan poisons Zhao Mei, if he uses it well in the future, it may not be a big help. However, there is still a careful consideration of where this matter should be used. Jiang Chao is brave but not resourceful, and he does not intend to tell Jiang Chao about this in advance.

When Jiang Chao met the emperor, the civil and military officials had been divided into two distinct factions. One faction insisted that Zhang Ji was harsh on military pay, while the other faction firmly believed that Zhang Ji was wronged.

Everyone knows that Zhang Ji's eldest son Zhang Ming and Xuan Li were close friends, so when Xuan Li walked in, everyone's eyes turned to Xuan Li. Some were filled with righteous indignation or gloating. When he arrived at Xuan Li, he was just blocked by a gentle expression, as if nothing major in the world could shake his calmness.

Xuan Hua looked at Xuan Li coming coldly, and a sneer appeared on his lips.

It happened that a court official was bowing to argue: "Your Majesty, Zhang Ji was arrogant and ignored the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers just for his own greed, and even threw away the favor of the Dajin Dynasty. It was a very evil crime!"

"What the King said is not bad. Lord Zhang has been in charge of the baggage force for many years. How could he make such a mistake? It must have been sought by those who are interested. I do not believe it." Another minister said.

"Provocation? Lord Zhang has been an official for so many years. Who can be provoked by someone? It's just that he has believed in some slander." Another voice said with a deep meaning: "I heard that Lord Zhang's three sons are getting older now..."

The words were directed or unintentionally aimed at Xuan Li. This was strange. Indeed, Zhang Ji is now not short of reputation and money. If someone really promised him something that made him make such a big mistake, then the promise must be very generous. What promises come from all over the world make people yearn for the most? It is naturally the promise of the emperor. And the relationship between Zhang Ji's son and Xuan Li makes people have to think about whether there is anything wrong with it.

The emperor looked at the court officials below with a deep look. It was just a matter of Zhang Ji. The factions divided by the court were so clear. He didn't know that the world now does not regard him as the emperor as his master. Does it really look at him as an old man? If he made any mistakes, he would not hesitate and not wait for his orders to change his master immediately!

Eunuch Li noticed the emperor's face and sighed in his heart. The competition among the princes was getting more and more intense, and he couldn't even hide it. But who knew the emperor's thoughts, but that person... Alas, Eunuch Li had a little doubt in his heart. Why is Zhang Ji's affairs so abnormal today? Generally speaking, before the matter was revealed, these court officials who were changing their minds should be watching the development of the situation and should not express their opinions in such a hurry. Instead, they started to make suggestions after Zhang Ji's evidence was confirmed to be true or wronged. Today is really strange.

Naturally, they didn't know that the reason why these court officials expressed their attitude early was because someone had already reminded them. Everyone thought that the information they received was accurate, and now the argument is because they are determined that the side they stand on will be able to be good.

A hint of pride flashed across Xuan Hua's face, and Xuan Li saw it, and only felt funny. Xuan Hua was too anxious. Over the years, Xuan Hua had safely and safely in the palace with the guidance of the virtuous concubine, and even reached the current position, but his impatient nature had not changed at all. If it were usual, this would have caused a rift in the emperor's heart. But since ancient times, the emperor was suspicious. Now the situation outside seemed to be unfavorable to Xuan Li, the emperor would trust Xuan Li more. Naturally, Zhang Jiruo really had something to do, and the first person to doubt who could induce him was naturally Xuan Li. The more disadvantage Xuan Li was, the more hesitant the condemnation the people were, the more hesitant the emperor would be. Because Xuan Li seemed too isolated and helpless, people always sympathized with the weak, and the same was true for the emperor. This is human nature.

However... a trace of doubt flashed in Xuan Li's eyes. Is things going too smoothly today? It made him feel a strange feeling in his heart, as if it wasn't supposed to be like this. It was just a fixed person who asked Jiang Dan to release the news, but some of the people who spoke today were not in the plan. Indeed, these people did promote his plan and even make the plan smoother, but it was too smooth that really made people doubt it.

"Lao Ba, what do you think about this?" The emperor finally asked, looking at Xuan Li's gaze like a sharp sword, as if as long as Xuan Li said a wrong word, blood would immediately end up splattering on the spot.

"Justice is in the hearts of the people," Xuan Li said lightly: "I believe that my father has made a decision in his heart. My son believes in his father and his father's ministers. I will know that the person who reports the results of the investigation will be presented."

He had already expressed his position and believed that Zhang Ji was innocent, but he spoke very much by using the words of a minister who believed in the emperor. The emperor's expression gradually eased, and Xuan Li's way of doing this was even more reassuring.
