Chapter 132 Face Saint

Li Xia's whole body was searched carefully, including the two volumes of information he was carrying, which were also turned over page by page.

After confirming that he was not carrying any weapons, an eunuch led him into the Xuande Hall.

Li Xia's back was still straight, and he stood still in the hall, arched his hands politely, and said, "I've seen the officials."

Clearly, his manners were inappropriate.

An official already made a "hum" and softly scolded "the boy has no shape".

In fact, Wu Yanben said that he wanted to teach Li Xia, Lin Zi, and Liu Jinsuo the etiquette of Miansheng, but Li Xia refused. He believed that the natural and unpolished roughness was more convincing to the officials.

Sure enough, Zhao Yun raised his hand to show that he was okay.

He took a careful look at Li Xia, and smiled slightly, showing appreciation.

"The heroic spirit of a young man is exactly like when I was young." Zhao Yun praised, "I see your calm eyes, I believe you are not rebellious, don't let me down."

"Thanks to the official family." Li Xia said, "I am not rebellious."

Zhao Yun smiled and drank again.

Although Li Xia was suspected of defecting to the enemy, he was very calm.

The warriors in the hall are neat and tidy, even if the young boy really joins the enemy, there is nothing he can do.

Cheng Yuanfeng got up and said: "Your majesty has personally agreed to send you to the north. Now that you have returned safely, did you defect to Mongolia? And why did you leave the old man's residence? Tell the truth in front of the emperor."

Li Xia said: "Yes, why don't I start from the beginning?"

"allow."

"After I went north with Nie Zhongyou..."

Li Xia first changed the location of the rescue of Gao Changshou from Luzhou to the north of the Huaihe River, concealed for Jia Sidao the matter of Lu Wende's privately sending people to the north, and concealed for Ding Daquan the matter of Yuan Jie's cooperation with the Zhang family.

This is also the reason why Jia Sidao and Ding Daquan recruited him. They never thought of using torture on Li Xia, and extorting a confession by torture cannot make people cooperate so much.

While listening, Jia Sidao glanced at Uncle Xie Fang imperceptibly, and found that the other party was still very calm.

He also wasn't sure if Uncle Xie Fang still had a backup.

After all, he is a majestic prime minister, and he is by no means easy to deal with. This time, he still might not be able to defeat Uncle Xie Fang.

The reason why Ding Daquan decided to come forward, Jia Sidao actually had concerns about this, he prefers to watch cricket fights, and he doesn't like to fight himself...

~~
Lin Zi and Liu Jinsuo have been taken outside the palace gate.

"Do you think Mr. Li Xiaolang went in or disappeared?" Liu Jinsuo asked.

Lin Zi didn't answer.

Liu Jinsuo asked again: "Why don't the officials summon us?"

Lin Zi still didn't answer, nor did he tell Liu Jinsuo to shut up.

His face turned pale.

Time passed, and finally an eunuch came out and brought two people into the palace to face the saint.

Liu Jinsuo lowered his head all the way, wanting to look but didn't dare to look. Occasionally, he glanced over and saw only solemn palaces.

With great difficulty, he entered the Xuande Hall, he was startled by the purple official robes that filled the hall, before he had time to look at the official family on the imperial couch, the man had already prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

"I, I, I... I... greet Your Majesty!"

Lin Zi was quite clever in the past, but now he stutters even more than Liu Jinsuo.

"Bye bye bye... See Your Majesty..."

"Get up, you are all strong men." Zhao Yun said softly.

Liu Jinsuo was in a dream, and when he looked up, he felt that everything in front of him was in a trance.

Soon, the officials asked about their experience.

Liu Jinsuo couldn't answer, and said to himself, "Lin Zi, answer quickly", but he didn't hear Lin Zi's movement for a long time.

He turned his head and saw Lin Zi trembling there.

Then, Liu Jinsuo listened to what the official said to him.

"He's too nervous, tell me."

Liu Jinsuo froze for a moment, turned his gaze, and finally saw Li Xia, before calming down.

He then spoke up.

As he talked, thinking of his dead brother, he gradually burst into tears, not knowing what he was talking about.

"I didn't suffer so much in the north... Prime Minister Zuo caught me and peeled off a piece of my skin... I wanted the officials to see it, but they said it was 'indecent' and my tattoos were not Ya... But I didn't want to embroider it like that, I woke up after a sleep, and I embroidered it like that, now a piece has been peeled off, and I can't show it to the officials..."

Of course he was also nervous, speaking upside down and having nothing to do with it.

But Zhao Yun probably understood what Liu Jinsuo said, and liked him very much, thinking that such a stupid man would not lie, so he ordered someone to give him a jug of wine.

Liu Jinsuo was overjoyed, and shrank aside holding the jug and Lin Zi.

Afterwards, Li Xia added a few words, explaining the ins and outs of the whole matter.

The whole matter seemed to be clear. He told how the passionate men of the Song Dynasty died in the north, and how they were accused of rebellion and hunted down after returning.

Zhao Yun drank the whole pot of wine while listening.

Regardless of whether he was touched in his heart or not, as the emperor, he had to show something, and his eyes were reddened appropriately.

Some officials were also outraged.

"A strong man returns from a bath of blood, but is ostracized by jealousy, which is against the law!"

"Your Majesty, please investigate this matter strictly!"

"Your Majesty, I trust them!"

"..."

Amidst the impassionedness, a voice fell into Jia Sidao's ears.

"The minister supervised the censor Zhang Shiyuan, impeached the left prime minister, Uncle Fang, to slander and kill Yu Jie with personal grievances, and led Shu to harm the country. Please retry the case of Yu Jie..."

Jia Sidao couldn't help but frowned and cursed secretly.

"Damn it, Uncle Xie Fang expected it, Ding Daquan is an idiot, if he doesn't know how to hurt him first."

Zhang Shiyuan is not one of his people, nor has he ordered to reverse the case for Yu Jie today; the original intention is to let the officials realize that Uncle Xie Fang has been covering up the evil consequences of killing Yu Jie... There is a subtle difference in this.

The slightest difference, the thousands of miles of error.

Especially the word "slander".

What Li Xia said had already touched the officials and the officials in the palace, but because of these two words, the emotions of grief and indignation were suddenly completely disrupted.

Back then, Uncle Xie Fang said, "I will not dare to come to the court if I have lost the heart of a minister", which inspired the officials to personally issue an edict to force Yu Jie to death. For more than three years, the officials have always been unwilling to rehabilitate Yu Jie. his mind...

Sure enough, the topic of discussion changed rapidly, and Uncle Xie Fang's counterattack also began.

"Yu Jie is greedy for money, interested in profit, good at military power, ignorant of the etiquette of serving the emperor, and just recruited by the left minister to come to the court. What crime is there?"

"If Yu Jie is innocent, why did he commit suicide in fear of crime?"

"According to what I saw, Tian Kui had objected a long time ago, and it was even Yu Jie who instructed him to sneak into Mongolia."

"..."

Ding Daquan hurriedly got up and said: "Everyone, be quiet! Today's discussion is about the fact that the strong man went north to find out the information. Li Xia, why don't you submit the information?!"

"Yes." Li Xia said: "When I return, I will divide the information into several parts, and this is the key. I have buried the other parts, and I can get them later."

In other words, it is nothing more than that Han Qiaoer didn't have time to transcribe all of them.

Regarding this matter, Li Xia asked Wu Yan "Does Prime Minister Ding Shu need to copy a copy of the information", and the answer he got was "It's useless to ask for it, just present it to the imperial court and just overthrow Uncle Xie Fang."

A servant stepped forward and took the package from Li Xia.

"Hold on."

Uncle Xie Fang bowed solemnly to Zhao Yun, and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why I arrested Li Xia and others was not a personal grudge, but evidence of collaborating with the enemy and treason. There is no doubt that this son is a spy from Mongolia. Please be careful, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, the servant took out the book and did not present it to the emperor, but put it aside far away.

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Since Li Xia has finished speaking, it's time to listen to Xie Qing's argument."

Uncle Xie Fang said: "I would like to summon witnesses and physical evidence."

"allow."

Ding Daquan squinted his eyes and glanced at Uncle Xie Fang's face, feeling slightly palpitated by his calm expression.

At this moment, even Ding Daquan became suspicious, glanced at Li Xia again, and said to himself, "This kid, he really defected to Mongolia, right?"

Uncle Xie Fang was clearly prepared, and soon, someone brought witnesses and physical evidence into the hall.

"Your Majesty, people have brought..."

Li Xia turned her head and saw Nie Zhongyou, who was in shackles and looked sluggish, and a timid person, Bai Mao...
