Chapter 136 Promotion and Demotion (11)

Without waiting for punishment, Wang Qili killed them all, and explained everything very thoroughly. Many matters other than Wang Fan were explained to the end...

The first half of the confession was about the plan against Chen Shishi and Xia Zhi, while the second half was about many of the bad things Wang Fan had done, and finally, it was about Wang Fan actually having an affair with King Yi Wang Zhao He's concubine.

The Ponzi affair involved witchcraft...

After reading the confession in his hand, Li Xun's face was already sweating. He looked at Wang Qili and said in a deep voice: "Are these things you wrote true?"

Wang Qili said in a trembling voice: "Every word written by this villain is true. I will never dare to be a general until my term expires."

Wang Qili looks strong and capable on the outside, but in fact he is as timid as a mouse, greedy for life and afraid of death. In order to please Guo Hao, he arrested Li Xun, which eventually caused a big disaster. Li Yi hated him and almost killed his nephew.

He was ordered to be killed, but Li Xun finally begged for mercy, and then narrowly escaped with his life. Even so, he was imprisoned for nearly a year, during which he suffered many inhuman tortures, which caused the damage to his left leg.

He is disabled for life. Although Guo Hao has a strong relationship and is a victim of the incident, he is still sent to Lingnan on trumped-up charges. It has been almost seven years now. His crime cannot be redeemed and he still cannot come back and is suffering in Lingnan.

When it fell into Li Xun's hands, Wang Qili had no intention of fighting to the end. He was just a lowly person. It would be easier for Li Xun to kill him than to crush an ant. If he cooperated obediently, there might be a way to survive.

Looking at Wang Qili's frightened face, Li Xun knew that what he wrote should be true. He folded the confession and put it in his arms. Li Xun glanced at Liu Xie and said softly: "This

Have you read the confession?"

Liu Xie felt something from Li Xun's eyes, and felt a chill in his heart. He said in panic: "Sir, this confession was written by Wang Qili alone. I have never read a word of it."

Li Xun asked Wang Qili again and received confirmation that there was no one else around when it was written. After Liu Xie took the confession, he handed it over to Li Xun before he had time to read it.

"I'm writing one. I'll only write about things about Jingyuan Temple. Don't write about other irrelevant things. Do you understand?"

"Young man understands."

Li Xun waved his hand: "Take him down."

Zhu Zhengguo asked: "Brother Gou'er, what's wrong?"

Li Xun smiled: "It's nothing. This confession is not well written. Let him write another one."

Sima Tu took a deep look at Li Xun and didn't say a word.

"Okay, Brother Zhu, keep an eye on it here. Once Wang Qili's confession comes out, make a copy and give it to Mr. Liu to let him know the whole story."

Zhu Zhengguo nodded.

What happened next was very simple. Zhu Zhengguo could just keep an eye on it. Li Xun and Sima Tu got up and went home. Neither of them spoke during the whole journey.

King Yi was the eldest son of Zhao Zhi, and his mother was just a humble maid. Zhao He was not crowned king until he was in his thirties. After being crowned king, his mother was only a talented person in the palace. From this we can see

It turns out that Zhao Zhi doesn't have much emotion for this mother and son.

Zhao Zhi had more than a dozen sons, but only two he really valued were Zhao Xun, the king of Qi, and Zhao Shuo, the king of Chu.

It's because of his mother's background and the political power behind him, the number one family in the world...the Yang family.

Except for these two sons, Zhao Zhi paid little attention to the other sons. Instead, he suppressed them everywhere and strictly disciplined them. They were not allowed to have close contact with court officials. Therefore, most of Zhao Zhi's sons have grown up.

Although he was young, he kept a low profile for fear of offending Zhao Zhi.

However, King Yi was an accident, because he was extremely talented, especially in language and diplomacy. He was very outstanding, knew many foreign languages, and was a well-rounded person. Whenever he entertained foreign envoys, Zhao Zhi would let them participate, which made Zhao Zhi

He had convenient access to courtiers, which gave him the space and environment to grow politically.

Zhao Zhi was also alert to this, and in the second year of Taiping, he made Zhao He the deputy envoy of Hedong Road, and stayed in Jinyang. He was promoted openly and secretly, and was driven out of the political center.

"General, I'm here."

Sima Tu's voice pulled Li Xun out of his thoughts.

Li Xun nodded: "You have been tired today, so go to bed early."

"This is what a villain should do. It's not worth mentioning. The general should go back and rest early!"

Sima Tu didn't ask anything and got off the carriage.

Li Xun glanced at Sima Tu's leaving figure, shook his head, and said to Jiang Daxiong: "Go to Fan Zhongyun's house...forget it, go home."

What Wang Qili wrote is not trivial. Once it is exposed, it will definitely cause a big stir and a political storm is inevitable. Sima Tu Li Xun still doesn't believe it. He wants to discuss this matter with Fan Zhongyun and will not explain it to Zhu Zhengguo.

It's not that he can't be trusted, but that Li Xun doesn't want to involve him.

The next day, Li Xun somewhat overslept. When he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, he learned that Liu Zhongyuan had gone to the palace.

From Liu Xie's mouth, we learned that people from the Ministry of Punishment arrived at Jingzhao Mansion early in the morning and took the order written by Prime Minister Wang Renzhi with the intention of transferring Wang Qili and others to the Ministry of Punishment. Liu Zhongyuan happened to be on sick leave today and was not available in Jingzhao.

How dare officials in the Jingzhao Mansion hand over people to officials from the Ministry of Punishment according to Zhao Yin's order.

After receiving the confession, Li Xun had a sneer on his face and rushed towards the palace.

Zhao Zhi is still so diligent in his duties. He has been very busy recently. Although the war in Longyou has ended and all those who deserve rewards have been awarded, the imperial court is financially strapped and many officers and soldiers who participated in the war have not received their rewards. Zhao Zhi and the court officials have recently

We have been making adjustments in various ways, allocating money and food, and distributing money and food to the hands of meritorious soldiers as soon as possible.

As the saying goes, the emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. Everyone fought desperately for the country, but in the end there was no benefit at all. This will lose people's hearts. Who will be willing to serve the country in the future? Such a simple truth, how could Zhao Zhi understand it?

don't know.

"Your Majesty, Li Xun would like to see you."

A eunuch opened the palace door, walked in, bowed and said.

Zhao Zhi, who was reviewing the memorial, heard this, stopped the brush in his hand, raised his head, and chuckled: "What is this kid doing here?"

The herdsman on the side said with a smile: "I haven't seen the dog for half a month."

Zhao Zhi nodded: "Let him come in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuch bowed and retreated, leaving the hall.

"General Li, Your Majesty lets you in."

The eunuch who reported the report had a smile on his face and said respectfully to Li Xun.

"Thank you."

Li Xun thanked him politely, took out an ingot of five taels of silver, gave it to the eunuch, said a few polite words, and then walked into the hall.

This eunuch had just been transferred here. He looked at the money in his hand and thought to himself: It is said that Concubine Li's nephew is easy-going and generous. The rumors are indeed true.

"The dog pays homage to the emperor's uncle!"

Li Xun knelt on the ground and banged his head several times due to thirst.

"Get up! You are also a fourth-rank official. Don't kowtow at all times. I don't have this rule in Jin Dynasty."

Li Xun stood up and said with a smile: "I'm used to it."

Zhao Zhi smiled: "What do you want from me?"
