Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

Page 105

"This shouldn't happen?" Yang Wanli asked in confusion. "No matter what, Cheng Jushu killed someone in public, and he's also a spy from the enemy country. There's no reason to let him go, right?"

Teng Zijing frowned, obviously in a bad mood.

Li Chengyuan already knew the result, so he didn't react at all. He asked directly, "Are there any of our people in the Inspection Office?"

"Yes!" Hongshu nodded. "There are spies planted by Miaoyinfang in the Third and Eighth Divisions of the Inspection Office, but their status is not high!"

Li Chengyuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

I didn’t expect that Miaoyinfang’s intelligence capabilities have developed so well now that they can even plant spies in the Inspection Institute!

Li Chengyuan said directly, "Well, Hongshu, Fan Xian will definitely cause a big commotion when he goes to the Inspection Office. Let them go and see if they can hear anything!"

"Yes!" Hongshu nodded, then turned around and went down to make arrangements!

"Your Highness, this is unreasonable, isn't it?" After Hongshu left, the picky Yang Wanli asked in confusion.

Teng Zijing also looked at Li Chengyuan seriously.

Only Old Huang looked absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After thinking about the plot carefully, Li Chengyuan said, "This matter may be related to the war in the north!"

The two of them were shocked and listened attentively.

Li Chengyuan organized his words and continued, "Right now, across the border, the armies of both countries are poised for action. Right now, both countries are on edge, and any diplomatic incident could potentially spark a war!

Cheng Jushu is a master from Northern Qi. I guess the Inspection Office wants to use him to gain benefits that benefit us!"

"This..." Yang Wanli frowned and said, "If this is the case, isn't this ignoring national legislation?"

Upon hearing this, Teng Zijing looked at Yang Wanli in surprise.

I didn't expect that your Highness's aide is so upright.

Li Chengyuan said calmly, "It's quite normal. As the saying goes, if the superior likes something, the subordinates will like it even more!

The way your Majesty governs the country today is to put interests first and etiquette and law second!

Your Majesty has always been good at weighing the pros and cons in his actions.

In this way, the Inspection Office, headed by Your Majesty, will naturally follow suit!"

hiss!

Teng Zijing was shocked.

I never expected that the Third Prince would talk about Your Majesty so unscrupulously in private?

However, Yang Wanli was not afraid.

After hearing this, Yang Wanli turned to Fan Xian and asked, "Your Highness, if you were handling this matter, what would you do?"

Teng Zijing: “???”

Teng Zijing is numb!

Are all the third prince's staff so brave?

Li Chengyuan was not surprised by Yang Wanli's question, nor did he avoid it.

After thinking for a moment, Li Chengyuan answered seriously: "Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country! A nation's war is always inseparable from personal sacrifice!"

Hearing this, Yang Wanli frowned instantly.

Teng Zijing felt that what the Third Prince said made sense.

Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a country. How wonderful is that?

As expected of the Third Prince, he is truly eloquent.

But for some reason, Teng Zijing always felt that something was wrong and he felt a little uncomfortable.

However, before they could speak, Li Chengyuan continued, "But the premise of all this is the voluntary and meaningful sacrifice of the people!

If we disregard national laws and personal interests for the sake of national victory, then what hope is there for this country?

The purpose of a country’s existence is to protect its people, but the purpose of the people’s existence is not to protect the country!

There is an essential difference between the two!

Since ancient times, whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world!

If a country loses its morality and ethics, it will lose its national credibility and will eventually lose the support of the people!

A country without the support of its people may only achieve a short-lived victory.

But if this continues, it will inevitably lead to destruction!"

brush!

After hearing these words, Yang Wanli and Teng Zijing's eyes lit up!

correct!

Right this time!

This is the answer they want to hear!

This is the prince they are willing to follow!

At this moment, Teng Zijing and Yang Wanli's eyes were shining as they looked at Li Chengyuan.

Yang Wanli took a deep breath, bowed respectfully to Li Chengyuan, and said solemnly: "Yang Wanli is willing to die for your Highness!"

Teng Zijing also hurriedly bowed and said, "Me too!"

.......

In the Inspection Institute, Fan Xian is currently confronting Zhu Ge, a director of the Inspection Institute!

Wang Qinian was worried about Fan Xian, fearing that Fan Xian would do something impulsive and reckless!

Facing Zhu Ge's rude disdain, Fan Xian directly pulled out his Supervisor's badge and said to Zhu Ge in a deep voice, "The Supervisor of the Inspection Institute is independent of the Eight Departments and is on the same level as the major sponsors! Is this badge genuine?"

Looking at the badge of Tisi, Zhuge had no choice but to take it seriously.

"It's true!"

"Okay! Then let me ask you again, why did you release Cheng Jushu?"

Zhu Ge looked at Fan Xian, brought up a piece of intelligence, and said to him, "The Ministry of War has an urgent report: the troops in the northern border are urgently deploying, and a national war is imminent. This war against Northern Qi has been planned for a long time. But the timing of the war must be controlled by us!"

"What does this have to do with Cheng Jushu?"

"Cheng Jushu is a master of Northern Qi. If he died in Kyoto, it would be a pretext for us to attack! If Northern Qi were to use this as an excuse to advance, it would disrupt the nation's plans!"

"What if?" Fan Xian laughed angrily. "Just for what if?"

"Cheng Jushu has an old acquaintance with a general in Northern Qi! This general promised that if Cheng Jushu is kept safe, he would provide us with detailed military intelligence on Northern Qi's border deployments."

"So this is a deal?"

Zhu Ge said in a deep voice: "When we act, we must put the overall situation first!"

Fan Xian was furious and demanded loudly, "If he has to sacrifice the lives of innocent people, what use is he to this overall situation?"

Zhuge remained unmoved. "The law is strict, and you can't do whatever you want!"

"Killing someone means paying with your life, that's the law!"

"The one who died was just a guard!"

"Just a guard?" Fan Xian was extremely indignant. Suppressing his anger, he loudly questioned Zhu Ge word by word: "Master Zhu, the stone tablet at the entrance says that all people are born equal, without distinction of high or low. This is the foundation of the Inspection Office!"

The guard was a human being too! He was his son's father! He was his first wife's husband! He was his family's only support!

The deceased’s body is still warm, but the murderer is still at large!

Where is Guofa?

Where is justice? "

Zhuge was furious after being scolded.

But because of Fan Xian's identity, he couldn't get angry.

But he still firmly rejected Fan Xian.

"The matter has been settled, there is no need to discuss it further! Come here!" Zhuge roared and stood up.

"Here!" One of the people watching the excitement at the door immediately ran out.

"Pass on my order. I am in charge of the Cheng Jushu matter. Even if someone holds a magistrate badge, you must not hand them over!"

Zhu Ge looked down at Fan Xian and said coldly, "I've cut off your escape route. Go back and recuperate!"

Fan Xian looked at Zhuge and shed a tear.
