"Your Majesty, Li Yan sued the military supervisor Li Xin, colluded with the rebels in southern Xinjiang, framed the imperial generals, and conspired to rebel, and the crime was not to be punished!"

In the side hall of Changle Palace, Li Yan, who returned from southern Xinjiang, respectfully knelt in front of Emperor Chengde and said this sentence with great righteousness.

He not only said that he also submitted a memorial, but he was indeed here to impeach Li Xin.

Fortunately, this is not a court, but a private summoning by Emperor Chengde. Otherwise, the conflict between Li Xin and the Marquis of Pingnan would be known to everyone.

Li Yan knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice while writing a note: "Your Majesty, the last generals have found out that Li Xin had contact with the leader of the Southern Shu bandits during his tenure as the Southern Xinjiang Army. Although he was not sure what this person and Li Xing said, he had a lot of frame-up of the Pingnan Army after returning to Beijing. His ambitions were already revealed. Please issue an order immediately and take this beast into the prison for punishment!"

Emperor Chengde carefully read the memorial handed over by Li Yan, then glanced at Li Yan who was kneeling on the ground, and said calmly: "What has Li Xin framed the Pingnan Army?"

"Of course, it is framed by Pingnan Army's death list!"

Li Yan kowtowed and said tears: "Your Majesty, there is chaos in the southern border. Our Pingnan Army fought bravely to kill the enemy without hesitation. As long as we can eliminate the rebellion for Your Majesty, the soldiers will die. But the generals and the others never expected that we would fight bravely to kill the enemy on the front line. This military supervisor from the court actually fabricated facts behind the scenes and framed our Pingnan Army!"

"Your Majesty, if you don't kill this beast, not only the more than 10,000 soldiers killed by our Pingnan Army will die with their eyes open. Now, the last time the Pingnan Army will be disappointed!"

As he said that, Li Yan took out another book from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, please see, this is the last two months to count the list of people who died in the battle. Your Majesty can send people to visit one by one, and each one is truly dead on the battlefield!"

Li Yanhu's eyes were filled with tears: "The military supervisor Li Xin, instigated trouble in front of His Majesty, said that our Pingnan Army had fabricated a list of deaths in battle. Your Majesty took a look at it myself. Is there one here forged?"

All over the southern Xinjiang, everyone from the Li family, so it would be easier to make some evidence. For example, when the pension list was on, the Pingnan Army just picked out the people who had written letters to their families recently, killed them, or hid them. This matter was perfect and no one could find out.

Even if the capital sent an imperial envoy to southern Xinjiang to investigate, there would be no way to find out what was going on.

In other words, Li Xin’s evidence is now untenable.

After all, Li Xin only collected thirty-seven people who wrote letters to his home. Pingnan Army only had to operate and select these thirty-seven people, or those who had written letters to his home recently, and secretly hide them. Li Xin's previous evidence would all turn into blank paper.

The Pingnan Army can even say that the evidence in Li Xin's hands was forged.

The right to speak is in their hands.

At this point the dialogue was over, Emperor Chengde had already understood what the Li family was going to do.

The Li family wants to kill Li Xin!

His Majesty the Emperor closed the memorial and laughed: "Li Aiqing, Li Xin has never written a letter to the Marquis of Pingnan. Is there any misunderstanding in the middle?"

From a procedural perspective, Li Xin did not sue the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion because the evidence was submitted directly to the emperor by Li Xin, and no one in the middle made any mistakes. Besides, there was no written evidence to prove that Li Xin had sued the lawsuit, and even the three provinces did not leave any bottom line.

As long as Emperor Chengde shook his head and denied it, Li Xin would be equivalent to never suing the Li family.

After all, the Holy Emperor is always right, and no one dares to question this.

Speaking of this, Emperor Chengde glanced at Li Yan lightly and laughed: "Li Qing, the Pingnan Army is thousands of miles away. Where did you know that Li Xin wrote a letter to you?"

The emperor's attitude is still very clear. I will take action to save the person you want to kill.

Li Yan's face changed slightly.

After all, he is a general, and he will lose to Emperor Chengde when it comes to being scheming. The man knelt on the ground and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, that Li Xin threatens the Marquis's wife in the capital. You know... "

"I don't know."

Emperor Chengde blinked his eyes and his face remained unchanged: "Li Qing, I have never known this before, so don't speak vernacular."

This is the advantage of the emperor. Even if you talk nonsense, no one dares to jump out to refute you. As an emperor, you will even have the ability to slightly distort reality, that is, even if you say it wrong, it will naturally become right.

For example, if Emperor Chengde now refers to a deer as a horse, then all the deer in the Great Jin Dynasty will be called a horse. After hundreds or thousands of years, this term may be passed down and written seriously in later books.

Li Yan gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, this matter is a matter of a mistake. However, when Li Xin was in the Hanzhou Prefecture City of Southern Xinjiang, he met with the thief leader Li Xing. This is an indisputable fact. He is an army supervisor and will definitely have any bad intentions when he meets the thief at night!"

Emperor Chengde changed color slightly: "Is there any evidence?"

Even if Emperor Chengde wants to protect Li Xin and meet with the thieves in the southern Xinjiang privately, it will still touch his bottom line, because the thieves involve the fundamentals of the imperial power and are absolutely intolerable.

In the imperial era, any crime may be exempted from crime, but rebellion cannot be done. Even if the prince rebelled, most of them would die.

Li Yan lowered his head and said, "That night, Cheng Ping sent someone behind Li Xin and saw Li Xin meet with the thief leader with his own eyes, but the followers were lost. Otherwise, Li Xin could be caught on the spot that day, so that he could not argue!"

Emperor Chengde's face was calm: "In other words, you still have no evidence."

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if Li Xin colludes with the remnants of Southern Shu, there will inevitably be a Shu person around him to contact information. Your Majesty only needs to send someone to check if there is anyone from Shu County around Li Xin, and the matter will be clear!"

If Li Xin was present at this time, he would probably curse.

No third party is aware of his cooperation with Li Xing except for both parties. Since Li Xing sent Mu Ying over, it means that he has no idea to betray the covenant for the time being, and Mu Ying's identity was leaked.

Things have been obvious...

There must be spies from the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion beside that His Highness Li Xing!

Emperor Chengde frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Go and check if there is a Shu person around Li Xin."

The eunuch Chen Ju bent over slightly: "Old slave obeys the order."

After Chen Ju retreated, Emperor Chengde looked at Li Yan with a smile, stepped forward and helped him up, and smiled and said, "Li Qing has made great contributions in his half-life. I have made a voucher for you. I have made a free place for you as the Minister of War. From now on, you will stay in the capital and enjoy your happiness."

Li Yan said respectfully: "I, thank you for your kindness."

Emperor Chengde patted Li Yan on the shoulder and laughed: "Do it well and be a minister for a few years. When the time is right, I will hand over the Ministry of War to your hands."

Li Yan immediately knelt down and thanked him.

"Your Majesty is so kind to you, I can't repay you!"

Looking at Li Yan kneeling on the ground, Emperor Chengde was slightly ecstatic. He looked up at the south side and remembered the playmate who grew up with him.

Li Shen or Li Shen, are you really going to kill Li Xin... or do you have to borrow my hand to make up for the mistakes Li Xin made in southern Xinjiang?
