Chapter 25: Right and Wrong



For example, they regarded Yue Pengju's temporary stay in the Wenshui area of ​​the front line as a sign that he was unable to control the army and was forced to be unable to support the front line. Then, based on this "iron fact", they conducted investigations and research and directly discovered more "solid" evidence!

It is almost foreseeable that, as Yue Fei's military achievements and status gradually became more outstanding, the "suspicion" of the civil officials might gradually disappear, but their vigilance would inevitably arise again, and the jealousy of the other military generals would follow.

By then, it might be even more lively.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhao laughed again.

At this point, Li Guangdu, the Imperial Censor who had been trying to protect his subordinates and smooth things over, became angry: "Your Majesty, is there anything ridiculous about what I said?"

"No." Zhao Jiu didn't even look at the other person and answered directly. "I just remembered something... What do you think should be done with Zhang Rong? Yue Fei stopped at Wenshui. According to his explanation, the letter from General Lu, and the letter from Yang Yizhong, didn't they all say that it was Zhang Rong who caused the incident?"

This is a forced change of subject.

But it is quite useful, because the issue of Zhang Rong has been debated in the capital recently, and the debate is very fierce and very interesting... Some people, such as the deputy commander of the Imperial Camp Qu Duan, believe that Zhang Rong's behavior is tantamount to treason and that killing him is not enough to win back the hearts of the army; but quite a number of people believe that Zhang Rong was originally a bandit, and although he behaved in a pretentious manner this time, he is essentially contributing to the country, not to mention that he has made great contributions and should be forgiven.

Zhao Jiu certainly knew the fundamental reasons for these two attitudes.

To put it simply, Zhang Rong now behaves like a domineering warlord, but he used to be a bandit who had been given an official position... So correspondingly, if someone had always regarded him as a bandit, this time they would naturally think that his behavior seemed reliable; and conversely, if someone had always regarded him as an official soldier, this time they would naturally think that his behavior was a blatant provocation to the central authority and he must be severely punished.

In a nutshell, it’s a matter of perspective.

As for what Zhao Jiu was thinking... Actually, Zhao Jiu didn't think much about it, because he was waiting for Yue Fei to end this battle, and only the results on the front line could really force Zhang Rong to make a decision.

That's when you need to make up your mind.

"alright……"

As Emperor Zhao forcibly changed the topic, the debate in the palace resumed. Seeing this, Lu Haowen knew what was going on, but he came out to perform his duties as prime minister at the right time. "Your Majesty, it's getting late today, and the emperor and his ministers have already performed the ceremony of imperial lectures together. Why not let all the ministers go back and discuss these two matters together tomorrow, and then have the Privy Council and the provincial government make it clear in front of the emperor?"

"Mr. Lu is experienced and capable!" Emperor Zhao nodded immediately, but stood up again and left.

However, Zhao Jiu had only taken two steps away from the throne when he suddenly remembered something - Yue Fei's impeachment of Li Gang that day was certainly ridiculous, but he ended up getting away with nothing, and Li Yanxian was even wanted for telling the truth; and if Li Gang's brother impeached Yue Fei today, it would most likely also be ridiculous and doomed to have no impact.

It's also ridiculous.

Of course, Zhao Jiu knew in his heart that this was because Li Jing was the censor and he was protected by something like procedural justice.

However, it was still funny, so Emperor Zhao laughed out loud three times, but then he held the golden belt and walked hurriedly, so much so that the hard wings on his head swayed unsteadily... He was in a hurry to go back and practice calligraphy.

A night of silence ended the next afternoon, when large-scale discussions, impeachments, and clarifications on the Jingdong war situation were beginning in Tokyo, in Yanggu County, which was not far away in a straight line, the Prime Minister of Qi, Hong Ya, had already despaired.

However, in despair, looking at the three large flags of 'Commander Li' coming from the east and west behind Yang Yi Zhong's flag, Prime Minister Hong suddenly realized - of these three Commanders Li, one should be Li Kui, and the remaining two should be Li Bao.

These three people were all officers of the vanguard army of the imperial camp led by Yue Fei.

The fact that the troops of the front army of the imperial camp came together from the upper and lower reaches of the Jishui River could only mean one thing, that is, while the Qi army was making a detour to Hebei and encircling Zhang Rong using the Yellow River as a cover, Yue Fei was very likely planning a larger encirclement by crossing Liangshanpo on the left and Mount Tai on the right!

Did he take over the entire Dongping Prefecture?

Moreover, considering the length of the encirclement route, it is possible that after Zhang Rong prevented Yue Fei from crossing the Wenshui River, they took action immediately.

But these are of no importance, because if he thought further, Mr. Hong soon realized that he had been sold out by Li Cheng!

Not only that, that guy must really know this Yue Fei as well as he said, otherwise how could he escape so easily? So skillfully?!

We should be in Jinan now, right?!

If the Jin army does not want to cross the river to join the battle in the summer, they will probably have to support him to maintain the situation, right?

"Go out for a while." Thinking of this, Hong Ya suddenly turned around and pointed at a person beside him. "Is this Zhang Maode? Go out for a while and be my messenger."

Zhang Maode and Zhang Erguan were a little embarrassed for a moment.
