Just when everyone was shocked by Li Yi's eyes with endless pressure, he suddenly picked up Wei Jun's neck, dragged him out of the queue, and roared: "Old dog, how long are you going to keep pretending? "
Wei Jun was frightened out of his mind and panicked, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"snort!"
"You dare to quibble when you are about to die. I ask you why the Dongshan War has been unable to quell the rebellion. The reason is who is behind it. Mr. Wei, don't you know?" Li Yi frowned, looking like an angry hero. Lion, I wish I could kill him now.
"Your Majesty, I don't know, I, I..."
When Li Yi heard this, his chest was filled with anger. If you don't know, you are the one who has really seen a ghost!
He suddenly became furious, spread out his right hand, and slapped her hard, one slap after another.
"Crack!"
The sound of the slap was very harsh.
"Ah, help, ah...it hurts me so much!" Wei Jun screamed, his nose bleeding rapidly, it was terrible.
Everyone present was dumbfounded. Is His Majesty too cruel?
In broad daylight, with the world clear, first he beat a scholar half to death, and then he dared to beat a high official in the court?
Is he really not afraid of being nailed to the pillar of shame?
Just the rumors from the people in the world are enough to overwhelm him.
"Your Majesty, please stop!"
"You will beat Lord Wei Jun to death, please stop!"
"If Lord Wei dies in front of the Jinluan Palace today, how will you explain it to the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, and how will you explain it to the people of the world?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, you went a little too far. You beat up the imperial official for no reason, even if you are today!"
Now not only the scholars are speaking out for Wei Jun, but also the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China, as if they had agreed in advance, are siding with Wei Jun.
Even Wei Ziya, Cao Qingyan and the others were so frightened that they broke into cold sweat. Is Your Majesty going to beat Wei Jun to death? If Wei Jun died, this matter would be completely troublesome.
This move will undoubtedly fall into the trap of the people and be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives, which may lead to a loss of public support.
That's when it's the most terrifying moment!
Wei Ziya and the others also stepped forward to dissuade them, but Li Yi's purpose was not there at all. He was looking at the reactions of Ning Wen and others. As expected, these people all had expressions of gloating about the misfortune. Then his eyes flashed, and he looked like a dead dog. Wei Jun threw it out.
In this case, the reckoning should begin.
He pursed his thin lips, and the corners of his cold lips became even colder. He raised his finger and pointed at Ning Wen, and said in a provocative manner: "Don't you want an explanation? Then I will give you an explanation!"
"Let me tell you, the battle in Dongshan was won last night, and I have received the battle report from Sun Tingzong and Cao Fengyang!"
"Furthermore, I have also found out the reason why the Dongshan Bandits have been unable to put down the rebellion. It is because someone in the court secretly colluded with the Dongshan Bandits. I have found the evidence!"
As soon as these words came to light, the whole audience was shocked.
Ning Wen and others' expressions changed with shock, and they looked at each other. They were all frightened and uneasy, but they still refused to believe it. There was absolutely no way they could find out, unless Li Yi was a god!
"Your Majesty, the Dongshan rebellion is no joke. If you lie for the sake of face, the consequences will be immeasurable!" Ning Wen threatened with a solemn tone.
"Do you think I am you? Do you need to be so mean?" Li Yi's face suddenly darkened, and there was an inexplicable killing intent in his eyes.
"What!" Ning Wen was furious, his teeth clenched and his expression was livid with anger.
Li Yi didn't even bother to look at him. He raised his hand and said, "Bring up the Dongshan battle report!"
Cao Qingyan nodded respectfully and raised the battle report with both hands, "Dongshan battle report, now all the Dongshan thieves have been wiped out, the leader has been captured alive, other participants have been killed or captured, and the prisoners are already on their way back to the capital. Sun Tingzong and Cao Fengyang is also on his way back to the capital and will arrive in the capital soon."
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were shocked.
Sun Tingzong actually won?
Just by relying on those soldiers and the defenders of Dongshan County, they actually defeated the Dongshan thieves!
When Ning Wen heard the news, he was shocked, like five thunders hitting his head, and he was terrified.
No wonder, the little emperor suddenly put the capital under martial law. No entry or exit was allowed. It turned out that he was worried that someone would leak the news. What a cunning little emperor!
I was so stupid that I fell into his trap!
However, how can we defeat the Dongshan thieves with that group of trash?
He was puzzled, but this time, he lost again, completely.
Wei Jun, the Minister of Rites, is afraid that he will retire and return to his hometown.
But it is absolutely impossible for him to admit defeat like this!
"Your Majesty, as you said, there is someone in the court who is having an affair with the thieves. Can you provide evidence?" Ning Wen asked deliberately, hoping that if Li Yi couldn't provide it, he would use the topic as an excuse.
Li Yi laughed loudly, "Of course!"
"Snapped!"
He threw out a ledger, slammed it down in front of Wei Jun, and said coldly: "Master Wei, please read it for me, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the scholars of the capital!"
Wei Jun, who was lying on the ground and wailing, was stunned when he heard this. He got up and saw the ledger on the ground at a glance, and his face suddenly changed with shock.
"This this……"
How could he not recognize it?
This account book belongs to him. It records the transactions between him and Master Si, the leader of Dragon Gate over the years. But how could such a precious thing be obtained by the little emperor?
"Master Wei, are you deaf? I'll let you read!" Li Yi slapped his hand on the table and shouted angrily.
Wei Jun's lips trembled and he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
This scene scared Ning Wen so much that his face turned pale. He was also involved in this. If there was evidence, he would not be able to escape death.
Wei Jun picked up the account book tremblingly and turned to the first page. He was frightened out of his wits and his whole body froze, "No, it's impossible, this is definitely a fake!"
"Your Majesty, it's fake. Sirs, this is fake. This account book is fake. Someone is deliberately making false claims to slander me. How could I collude with the thieves? It's absolutely impossible."
"False accusation, false accusation. Someone is framing me!"
Ning Wen was wondering, what was going on? How could something as important as a ledger fall into the hands of the little emperor?
At this time, some ministers rushed up and took the account book and looked at it. They were all horrified.
A minister took the account book and read out, "At the beginning of February, on the order of the young master, I sold five hundred long knives and eighty military-grade long spears to Dongshan thieves at a high price, and received fourteen thousand taels of silver..."
Just for this first point, everyone has changed their colors, and things have taken a turn for the worse in an instant.
If this account book is true, it would be terrible.
It's not just as simple as colluding with the thieves. Who is this young master?
"No!"
"No, this is false. Someone deliberately framed me!" Wei Jun was trembling with fear and couldn't argue.
At this moment, Ning Wen suddenly stood up calmly. Although he did not know whether the account book was true or false, he also knew that Wei Jun must not be allowed to overturn, otherwise their right to speak in the court would be completely lost.
"Your Majesty, this account book is fake. Someone must have deliberately framed Mr. Wei!"
A minister defended Wei Jun, "Yes, can a mere account book obtained from unknown sources be able to convict a high-ranking member of the court? If so, where is the prestige of the court?"
"What you said is true, Your Majesty. A mere account book cannot be used as evidence!"
"..."
Hearing the "members of Nie Chen's team" defend themselves, Wei Jun became bolder and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, may I ask where this account book that falsely accuses me comes from?"
"It has its own origin!" Li Yi sneered, "Don't worry, I will convince you to death."
"Come here!" Li Yi smiled strangely, "Cao Qingyan, bring the people here, we will confront each other face to face!"
The Forbidden Army soldiers all made way for a passage, and a young man with a pale face was brought up.
"This is my witness, Wei Jun, what else can you say?" Li Yi said with blazing eyes.
Countless eyes fell on the young man, especially Ning Wen and others who looked in disbelief. Even Wei Jun looked confused.
Wei Jun lowered his voice and warned: "Boy, say what you should say, but don't say what you shouldn't!"
"Pah!" Li Yi raised his hand and slapped him across the face, "Old dog, are you tired of living?"
Wei Jun wailed in pain, covered his face and took a few steps back. He explained in shock, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I didn't mean that. I'm afraid that he will talk nonsense and make Your Majesty angry."
Li Yi suddenly suppressed his laughter and said, "Master Wei, don't worry, he is one of my people and he will not talk nonsense."
What?
Wei Jun's expression changed in shock. He raised his head and glanced at Li Yi, then at the young man. He was a little unable to react.
At this time, the young man stood in the middle of the crowd, his face pale and nervous, his eyes evasive. After a moment of silence, he immediately identified Wei Jun, "Your Majesty, Wei Jun was corrupt, perverted the law, and colluded with traitors. That account book is evidence of his crime." !”
Li Yi ignored the surprised looks of others, nodded and said: "Okay, you have made great achievements, I will reward you greatly."
"Now you tell the others who you are!"
Wei Zhou said in a deep voice: "My name is Wei Zhou, and I am the son of Wei Jun!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked again.
what's the situation?
My son reports me?
