Chapter 252 We are wronged
Xie Qian has a deep understanding of Chen Xi.
Although He Jian served as a subordinate of Chen Xi for a long time, he really didn't know much about it. When Xie Qian said this, He Jian was really surprised. He didn't expect Xie Qian to comment on a young man who he personally promoted.
"Yu Qiao, what you said is well-founded? Even if Zhihou had been in the military, he would not know the situation in the leopard room. If you said this, it would seem like he really had some ambitions..." He Jian could not judge what Xie Qian said, which was a little uneasy to him.
Xie Qian shook his head: "Do you think I didn't have the same idea as you? He was a minister and knew so much information? Before Liu Jin fell, he seemed to be able to master everything. It can be said that before he returned to Beijing, he had already convicted Liu Jin of death!"
He Jian took a breath and said nothing.
Xie Qian continued: "After that I found that he was doing things more and more excessively. Not only did he spread his eyes in the court and the country, but he even inserted nails everywhere inside and outside the capital... Do you know why my impression of him has changed? Just because what he did was not done by a minister, it was simply a mess. He was impatient when he said a few words. How do you let me deal with it?"
He Jian frowned: "Then Yu Qiao, how did you learn about these situations?"
Xie Qian said: "When he fought against Liu Jin, he sent someone to contact me. He was the intelligence leader under his command. His ability was no less than that of any minister in the court. He was decisive, courageous, and loyal to him. How can I explain the training of retainers in this way besides having bad intentions?"
He Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Yu Qiao, don't regard Zhihou's actions as a wolf's ambition... Did he do anything that was ruthless after fighting Liu Jin? Isn't everything just to maintain the stability of the court? He has never refuted to you directly. When you come to him, everything will follow your wishes."
"That's because his wings are not hard enough!"
Xie Qian commented without hesitation, "Do you think I have no idea about him? He always judges the situation in his work. Even if he knows that he can defeat Liu Jin, he chooses not to take action before he achieves his goal. He has to wait for Liu Jin to drive some elderly and heavy-hearted officials out of the court before he starts to attack..."
"I absolutely do not believe that Shen Zhihou has no ambitions. Now he knows that he can't compete with me, so he slandered it. The battle against the grassland he insisted on is the best way for him to acquire power. If he returns from this battle, who in the court and the country can compete with him?"
Now even He Jian doesn't know what to say.
Based on He Jian's analysis, what Xie Qian said is not completely unreasonable.
However, He Jian didn't know much of Chen Xi's past and could only consider the problem based on the reasons that Xie Qian said, but he still didn't want to watch Chen Xi and Xie Qian fight each other.
He Jian sighed: "At least, he is still abiding by the rules now. As for what he will do in the future, it is really hard to say. Yu Qiao, you should give him some advice, instead of letting the rift between you and him expand, which is not good for the court. This time, I will treat it as an opportunity. If you have the opportunity, you can meet him. If you don't want to see him, you can also tell me and let him come and ask him to come and see him."
Xie Qian waved his hand: "No need, Shen Zhihou is no longer a young man who was just starting out in the past. After years of ups and downs, he has no innocence as he was. His various actions have to make people suspect that he is insidious and has ulterior motives... I don't want to be with such a person!"
Lu Gongbi wanted to know whether the assassination was instructed by his own people. If not, it would definitely be a frame-up.
He did not believe that the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao could have the protection of his masters, nor did he believe that the unarmed weak women could make a strong assassination. He had seen most of those women, and they were basically weak, not a good candidate to act as an assassin.
The North Korean officials present were stunned and didn't know how to answer. Lu Gongbi shouted again: "Who did it, take the initiative to stand up and admit that as long as he is brave enough to sacrifice himself, I will not blame him and there is nowhere to be investigated!"
The scene was still silent. After a while, the deputy envoy of the envoy stood up and said, "Sir, you said this to be a slander for us... Those women, we either brought it from the country or the gains of the plunder of the Ming Dynasty. We have never resisted before. How could we hurt the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty so meek? I think it was the powerful minister of the Supreme People's Kingdom who intentionally framed it! Could it be the previous work of Lord Shen?"
When Lu Gongbi thought of Chen Xi, he felt a headache.
Someone next to him echoed: "It is very likely that Shen Zhihou, the Ministry of War. This person is very strategic in the Ming Dynasty. Even the Mongolian tribe is afraid of him. He heard that his name can stop children from crying on the grassland, and can destroy the current momentum with one person..."
“Bad talk!”
Some people accused, "This is purely to increase others' ambition and destroy one's own majesty. That person looks very ordinary, just a weak court official, with such great ability?"
Lu Gongbi raised his hand to stop his subordinates from quarreling and said, "This Shen Zhihou is indeed unpredictable. His achievements are not only reflected in military governance, but also in his outstanding knowledge and endless creativity. Many advanced firearms in the Ming Dynasty were successfully studied under his strong initiative. If we can steal the manufacturing drawings of new firearms this time, we will be more adept at fighting the Japanese or even facing the Jurchens in the mountains and forests in the north!"
A North Korean official shouted angrily: "It's better to destroy the Ming Dynasty!"
"Damn it!"
Lu Gongbi scolded, "Is there any common sense? Since our firearm manufacturing technology is stolen from the Ming Dynasty, people will definitely study it more thoroughly than us. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is vast and rich in materials. The advanced firearms we can make may not even be even more advanced. Our army is even weaker. How can we defeat the Ming Dynasty? However, the Japanese and the Jurchens in the north do not have that much ability..."
Speaking of this, the people present nodded repeatedly, obviously thinking that it was a dream to shake the Ming Dynasty with the power of North Korea.
Someone asked again: "But Lord Lu, what should we do now? Chen Xi is both capable and ambitious, so he might want to be the emperor himself, so he mixed the assassin among the beauties who entered the palace and wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. We are now indecisive."
These Koreans look at the relationship between Chen Xi and Zhu Houzhao with an upward attitude. In their eyes, if a person with human rights and reputation and ability is high enough, he will definitely want to be an emperor and be unwilling to be ruled. This time, Zhongzong is an example.
"Yes, right, can we wait here to die?" Everyone present became nervous again, obviously everyone was afraid of death.
"What's the panic?"
Lu Gongbi shouted, "Since the Ming Dynasty used unconventional means to deal with us, we cannot sit still and wait for death. We should find a way to pass the news immediately, at least let the king know what was going on here. At worst, we can repay the king to the death!"
Someone present cried: "We are here to be envoys, not to die... We are wronged, we must avenge the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"
