For a long time, even when he was imprisoned and the prince ignored him, Zhang Hefeng never wavered his loyalty to the prince, or his insistence on inheriting the throne and becoming a legitimate. This is the insistence of a loyal minister of Confucian scholars and loyal ministers for many years, and the persistence of teachings of sages.

In his opinion, the prince is the foundation of the country and must not change because of the selfishness and likes and dislikes of some people. Otherwise, the turbulent situation will not be a blessing for the world. Therefore, even if the prince shows a cold and weak side, he has no complaints and still hopes that the other party can be safe and smoothly until he takes over the position of emperor.

But this time, Zhang Hefeng's thoughts suddenly changed.

He is confident in Li Ling's character. He may not be a humble gentleman, but he is even less likely to be a fool who has no vision and can only seek temporary benefits.

The northern border military is related to the stability of the whole world. No matter how short of money or greedy Li Ling is, he will never be able to put his ideas on the military logistics supplies. Even though all this seems to be handled by him, now, such accusation has come true, and all kinds of evidence are still sufficient. The only possibility is that someone is manipulating this injustice behind the scenes, and someone wants to use this to deal with Li Ling.

Zhang Hefeng was confident that with his understanding of the situation in the court, he could do it now. Only one person could do it all - the prince! Because Li Ling had ruined his major events many times, because Li Ling firmly stood on his opposite side, because of the close connection between Li Ling and King Ying Sun Bi, and now Sun Bi has completely replaced the role of King Yong before.

After thinking through all this, Zhang Hefeng's disappointment was extremely huge. Is this the prince he is familiar with and the future king he hopes to see?

Even if the prince in his mind has joys and angers, likes and dislikes, the overall situation must be the most important. As a king, he should use dignity to deal with those subordinates who are enemies with him, instead of using some secret tricks and conspiracies that are completely unpredictable and have endless disasters.

What kind of ambition will such a prince have if one day he becomes a king? In a better way, he is a selfish and mediocre person. In a worse way, he may create a foolish monarch, a tyrant, and a world-class harm that only cares about his own thoughts and completely ignores the people's lives!

It is true that Zhang Hefeng is a loyal minister, but he is not loyal to the prince after all. Even if the two have the status of teachers and students, he is loyal to the Dayue court and the people of the world!

So at this time, Zhang Hefeng had completely changed his previous persistence and had no more worries. However, some words cannot be expressed explicitly after all, and they can only convey the meaning in obscure expressions. It depends on how many layers Li Ling can understand.

Li Ling was not a fool either. At this time, he naturally understood the change in the other party's position and his expression became solemn. After looking at the other party for a while, Zheng pointed: "Don't worry, Master Confucianism, I have recorded this matter. Thank you, Master Confucianism, for your maintenance, I will remember it in my heart."

Zhang Hefeng smiled: "Hahaha... It's good that you can understand. I'm old and have not had a few years of life. I just hope that before I close my eyes, I can watch my country prosper and my people will live a better life. That's enough!

"And many people and I are unable to do all this, so we can only rely on the younger generation to do it.

If you have the ability, you have the courage to do it, then do it!" As he said that, the old man patted Li Ling on the shoulder, then coughed twice, and slowly left with a crutch.

He came to the inn, first to see Li Ling and see what he could help; second to convey his meaning and arrangements to the past. Now that the matter has been done, there is naturally no need to stay any longer.

Li Ling did not say anything to keep him, but just barely supported half of his body, and whispered a little funny to the old man who crossed the threshold on the couch: "Master Confucianism walked slowly, I have recorded your affection and teachings!" There was no trace of funnyness in his expression, and some were just full of respect.

After Zhang Hefeng left, Li Ling completely settled down. Soon, a famous local dysfunction doctor came to Li Ling to treat him. After massage and acupuncture, he felt much better.

By dawn the next day, when Peng Fei came to urge him to set off, Li Ling could walk freely in the house.

This time, it was impossible for him to get into the prison carriage. He directly boarded a carriage and was escorted by Yang Zhen and other people from the Imperial City Division. After a legitimate reason, Peng Fei and the others could only accept this arrangement and continue to accompany Li Ling to Luoyang in the escort situation than escort.

Afterwards, I changed from land to water and moved forward in a lighter and more convenient way until ten days later, I finally arrived in Luoyang. It was already early April.

Since leaving Beijing and returning to his hometown in November last year, he returned to Luoyang. It took only half a year to complete the plan. When he looked at the familiar towering city wall, Li Ling was still filled with emotion.

I have been going out of Beijing many times, but none of them are as embarrassed as this time. I entered Beijing as an official and could walk with glory, but this time, I was a suspect. Moreover, in the family here, except for a few servants, there was no family waiting, and I could not go home. This feeling of loneliness also hit my heart the moment I entered the city.

But soon, he suppressed this emotion again. Now is not the time to be sad about spring and autumn, and there are still big and tough battles waiting for him to fight. Whether it is for himself, his family, or the King of England, he must win and must clear the charges of falling on his head!

However, although he thought so in his heart, he still had no idea how to break the situation. He had thought about it all the way, but he had no strategy. Because this time he was a person in the net with many traps, at least from his own perspective, he could not find any flaws.

"Then you can only deal with the moves, or use the power of the Imperial City Department to investigate the Northern Frontier..." Just as Li Ling turned his mind and took this stopgap time, the carriage rolling forward suddenly stopped, and then a sound of negotiation sounded outside. He listened intently, and only heard a voice without any emotion said:

"I am the Censor Zhang Mingyu, the Censor of the Censorate, was ordered to come and prosecute the criminal Li Ling to the yamen for trial. You can hand over the person now!"

Li Ling's expression changed slightly when he heard this. It seemed that the other party had already made arrangements and wanted to make a move immediately after he entered the capital. Because among the three major judicial yamen in the capital, the Censorate is the most tense family with him, and he had even more grudges. Once he fell into the hands of the Censorate, there would be no good results in the future. It would be better to go to the Imperial City Department.

But now Li Ling, as a prisoner, naturally had no right to go to the yamen. At this time, he could only respond obediently. When he glanced at him, he saw more than a dozen officials in front of him, and many people were watching. Everyone was whispering there, guessing where this guy who could block the city gate and catch people by the censor and what serious crime he committed.

When Zhang Mingyu saw Li Ling coming out so lightly, his expression changed again. He glanced at Peng Fei and asked, "Why are there no shackles in this way? How many benefits have you taken him to ignore the law?"

Peng Fei felt a moment of injustice and hurriedly defended: "Mr. Zhang misunderstood. The young man didn't take any benefit. He was really a criminal offender..." Before he could finish his words, Li Ling had already cut off: "Civil Secretary Zhang, right? You are wrong. I am still a suspect so far. The court has not concluded that I am the one who corruption border military supplies, so why do you refer to me repeatedly? I am slandering!"

"Rareless, you, a corrupt official, dare to speak loudly in front of me! I only know that you have already happened, and the crime should be severely punished!" Zhang Mingyu did not mean to speak much to Li Ling, nor did he say more, but he raised his hand, "Come on, take the criminal offender, serve him in shackles, and bring him back to the Censorate!"

At that moment, several people came forward behind him, and they actually carried wooden shackles and chains with them and took them straight towards Li Ling.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen's expression changed and he wanted to go forward to stop it. But then he touched Li Ling's gaze and stopped with just a step.

Li Ling knew very well that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him and embarrassing him. At this time, the only one who suffered a friction and conflict with him would be his own family. After all, he is a prisoner now, so he still has to endure it and keep a low profile.

The big wooden shackle weighing about thirty pounds was put on, and handcuffs were wrapped around him. Li Ling's body suddenly withered. But the tossing for him was not over yet. Zhang Mingyu immediately said, "Take him, go back to the censorate!" As he said that, he had already taken the lead and walked forward, and then the others followed and urged Li Ling to follow them forward.

Yes, they did not prepare any vehicles, and they actually asked Li Ling to walk to the Censorate in public under the gaze of the people in the city. This was obviously a distraction. You should know that they had just entered the Luoyang city gate, but the Censorate was near the imperial city in the inner city. That is to say, if you want to pass through most of the capital and walk on your feet, you may not be able to get to the place from morning to dark.

And here, let alone anything else, the fact that Li Ling was convicted and taken to the Censorate would be spread throughout the capital in less than half a day.

This trick can not only destroy Li Ling's spirit and ruin his reputation. At the same time, it also plays a role in guiding public opinion. With the influence of public opinion, even if Li Ling is innocent, he might be considered guilty by others.

But even if he immediately understood the other party's sinister intentions, it would not be resolved at this time. After all, it was because his current identity was indeed not enough to fight against the people of the Censorate. If he failed, Yang Zhen would not be able to do it. He would still have to take this loss.
