Li Minggong, who was standing behind the two of them, felt his heart thump when he heard these words.
You must know that if Chen Guotai admits this matter now, it means that the greater function this time is still with Chen Guotai, not Li Minggong.
While thinking of this, Li Minggong also looked at Chen Guotai kneeling in front of him with his peripheral vision, waiting for his answer.
However, what Chen Guotai said next surprised both Qin He and Li Minggong.
"It's not my intention to return to the emperor, but Qin He established a militia team on his own to protect the business. During this period, all the expenses were borne by him alone."
Chen Guotai's answer could be said to make Li Minggong breathe a sigh of relief.
In this case, the credit will naturally fall on his head.
Qin He on the other side looked at Chen Guotai with surprise. He really couldn't understand why Chen Guotai said these words?
In Qin He's view, Chen Guotai is definitely not a simple person. How can such a person not take this opportunity to reach a higher level?
However, the result was completely different from what Qin He thought.
The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was obviously surprised when he heard this, and his tone was even more doubtful.
"Do you mean... Qin He did this all by himself?"
Hearing this, Chen Guotai nodded quickly.
"This matter was done by Qin He alone, and his behavior not only benefited our southern Xinjiang trade routes, but also benefited our entire southern maritime trade routes! How can a subordinate have the face to taint such merits!"
After Chen Guotai finished speaking, Li Minggong's face looked a little ugly.
Because Chen Guotai's words were a stick that interrupted his path.
If he, Chen Guotai, cannot be contaminated, why can't he let others be contaminated?
Thinking of this, Li Minggong glanced at Chen Guotai coldly.
But now that he is still in the main hall, how can he dare to be so presumptuous?
I can only swallow this bad breath.
"Haha! Okay! Chen Guotai, I didn't expect that as a county magistrate, you would be so aware. Not bad!"
The man on the dragon throne praised him, changed the subject, and continued.
"Where is Li Minggong, the governor of Qinghe Prefecture!"
When Li Minggong, who was standing behind him, heard this, he quickly knelt down and shouted.
"The official is here!"
"Qinghe Prefecture Governor Li Minggong, I have heard a lot about you before!"
The majestic voice sounded again from the dragon throne.
When he heard this, Li Minggong's heart sank suddenly.
He would never forget what his nephew had done before. If it hadn't been for that incident, the capital would not have sent anyone to investigate them.
When he thought of this, Li Minggong kowtowed quickly and said.
"Wei Chen is guilty! Wei Chen failed to take good care of his own junior! He deserves death for his crime!"
While talking about Li Minggong, he kowtowed.
The dull crashing sound continued to be heard at this moment, until the sound came from the dragon chair again.
"Okay, I've already asked someone to investigate this matter. It's just your junior's own decision. I can't blame you for this."
When Li Minggong heard this, he kowtowed as if he was being pardoned.
"Okay, you don't have to be like this anymore. This is not why I summoned the three of you today."
"You and Qin He are indispensable for the peaceful scene that exists in the Southern Business Road now! Have you ever thought about any rewards?"
Faced with the sudden change, Li Minggong was immediately overjoyed.
But how dare he ask for any reward now? There must be a reward, but he can't propose it.
"This is what a humble minister should do, how dare he ask for any reward?"
Li Minggong quickly spoke respectfully.
"Of course, Qin He proposed this matter, and I just cooperated with him and did what I could!"
After thinking about it, Li Minggong quickly added.
"If Qin He hadn't been willing to risk his own life to open up a safe trade route for our Qinghe Prefecture, how could the trade route be as safe as it is today."
Regarding Li Minggong's words, Qin He just smiled in his ears.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Guotai had blocked the conversation before, it is estimated that Li Minggong could have said more things that were beneficial to himself.
But now Chen Guotai has almost stopped talking, and even he can't say anything more.
At most, it would just help Qin He get more credit.
"I already know this, so you don't need to say more."
Li Minggong, who originally wanted to say something, suddenly did not dare to say another word.
The people on the dragon chair also took their eyes away from Li Minggong at this moment and fell on Qin He again.
At the same time, the majestic voice sounded again.
"Qin He, as a commoner, it is not easy for you to make such achievements! Tell me, how do you want me to reward you?"
Qin He didn't expect that the person on the dragon chair would ask this question so directly.
After thinking about it, Qin He finally spoke directly.
"The untouchables don't need any reward. They just hope that the emperor can see this thing."
As he spoke, Qin He took out the petition from the people he had received from the old man.
When Li Minggong heard this, he looked in the direction of Qin He out of the corner of his eye.
When he saw that what Qin He took out was the petition from all the people, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Originally, Li Minggong wanted to remind Qin He, but now he was in the main hall, and his every move could be clearly seen by the people on the dragon throne.
This also led to Li Minggong wanting to do it but not daring to do it. He could only secretly curse Qin He for acting recklessly!
Thinking that he had spoken for Qin He just now, if the current Holy Emperor gets angry after seeing this petition from all the people and convicts him, then he might also be implicated in this.
Thinking of this, Li Minggong couldn't help but his body began to tremble slightly.
At this moment, the man on the dragon chair also motioned to the eunuch beside him to take the petition from all the people in Qin He's hand.
After opening it and looking at it for a moment, I suddenly stood up.
"Okay! Okay! I underestimated you, a mere pariah, but you actually have such a big heart!"
"You present this thing in front of everyone, but are you mocking me for being a foolish king who has made the people's lives miserable?"
After hearing this, the expression on Qin He's face changed slightly. In fact, he was not surprised by such an answer.
Now that Long Yan was furious, Li Minggong was already trembling with fear.
He hates it!
I hate myself for why I spoke to the boy named Qin so early, and I hate myself for not thinking twice about helping Qin He!
However, it's too late now!
You must know that he has already stated his position just now.
You must know that now Qin He not only made Long Yan furious, but also offended Zhongshu Ling to death!
How can the next days be easy?
