Chapter 940
The carriage rumbling forward, because of its noble appearance and the surrounding guards, the people on the street were a little afraid and avoided the side from a distance, which made the carriage and horses walk particularly smoothly.
The two of them in the car didn't care about these details. They sat opposite each other across a coffee table, and there were green tea and some snacks on the table, which were taken out by Sun Bi from several hidden drawers in the car.
This carriage not only looks extraordinary from the outside, but also has many wonderful features inside. There are many mechanisms on the wall of the carriage carriage carriage, which can easily be opened and taken out the things inside, eat, book, chess board and chess... Moreover, there are magnets under these things, which can be made of this seemingly ordinary wood but are actually made of pig iron.
Even Li Ling felt emotion: "This car is not simple. The prince should have spent a lot of effort to get it, right?" Such a carriage is much rarer than those in later generations.
"I didn't take much thought. It was given to me by a doctor from the Ministry of Works during the New Year. If you look at it, I'll give it to you." Sun Bi smiled dissatisfiedly, raised her glass and made a gesture of invitation.
Li Ling also smiled, and just thought he was joking, so he raised his glass and took a sip: "A gentleman does not win over what he loves, and the prince knows my situation now, so it's useless to have this car."
"Your situation is indeed a bit worrying. These guys are determined and planned to kill you after making preparations from multiple sources. We are also caught off guard. But Li Wenzhong, who I know, won't just admit defeat so easily. You won't really accept your fate, right?"
"Of course I don't accept my fate. I came to the capital to make the matter clear, give me my own innocence, and the Cao Gang." Li Ling immediately stated. But then, he frowned slightly again: "But as Prince, you said, this time they have completely grasped the initiative and the upper hand. It's not easy for me to turn over. But Prince, you, help me with the consequences, aren't you afraid of getting yourself trapped in? If I expected it well, there must be the prince's approval behind this matter. Once he gets the opportunity, I'm afraid..."
"Do you think the prince will really let me go in this matter? Will he really not involve the matter because I didn't help you?" Sun Bi's question made Li Ling understand immediately, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course it's impossible. For him, I am certainly a thorn in my eyes, but you, Prince, are the target he is eager to deal with."
"That's it. Since he can't let me go, why should I have any worries? What's more, what's the relationship between you and me? If it weren't for the various assistance from you, Li Wenzhong over the years, I, Sun Bi, might be just an unknown prince today. How could I have today's glory?" Sun Bi looked at the other party with a sincere tone. "Although I, Sun Bi, dare not call me a gentleman, I also know that I should be grateful and repay my kindness between friends and brothers. When I have difficulties, you will help me regardless of the consequences. When you have difficulties, I should give back."
Li Ling smiled. He was really happy when he could say this. What a minister is most afraid of meeting a king who only knows how to ask for money but not gives. Such a person will only make the people below feel heartbroken and gradually alienate him. And Sun Bi is the most qualified king who is willing to put his safety aside for his subordinates.
Having ideals, responsibilities, and means is the king who can truly accomplish great things!
Li Ling is convinced that Sun Bi has the first two items, but what about the latter one? That is the most critical one, especially in this case, he has no solution for the time being. He rashly entered the game. Is there really a way?
Just as seeing through Li Ling's thoughts, Sun Bi first filled the tea for the two of them, and then said, "I understand your concerns. This time, the prince's people made arrangements early, and suddenly came out, killing you one of them. So you are worried that I will not only help but also add one more person.
"But have you ever thought that since I dared to enter the game, how could I be without some preparation? The prince and the others were determined, but this plan involved many, including the northern border troops, the grain gang, and even the court... so many people were in the game, how could it be without any flaws? How could it be that no one had noticed it all forever?"
"Hmm?" Li Ling was stunned, and then a hint of expectation appeared in his heart. "The prince meant that you had noticed something earlier and found their flaws?"
"It was not what I found, it was Lord Wen." Sun Bi no longer kept it in hiding, and smiled, "This is thanks to your previous arrangement, which allowed him to enter the Ministry of Revenue... As for the border army's supplies, how could he not pay attention to the matter of the Ministry of Revenue?
"You should also understand his abilities. Even if those guys make the accounts carefully, as long as they are fake, they will definitely see the flaws. To be honest, he had already found a lot of things along this clue as early as the New Year, and guessed that someone might use this to write an article. And reported this to me."
Li Ling's expression moved even more, and he was secretly shocked. He really ignored Wen Ming, the real mainstay of the British Royal Party. No, it should be said that he looked down on his ability!
As a senior official in the court who once could stand alone in Jiangnan, Wen Ming was a first-class person in the court, regardless of his qualifications, reputation and ability. However, because he had offended too many forces in the court before, he was always excluded, leaving him with ability and nowhere to display it. It was not until Li Ling later helped him to return to the court and became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue with his military merits two years ago.
He and Wei Liang, one in the Ministry of Revenue and the other in the Ministry of Justice, were both ministers, so Li Ling completely equated the two. However, they completely ignored that one was Shunshun Dangdang and the other had ups and downs and had better abilities. Therefore, before, they were worried that if they lost themselves in the capital, the King of England would encounter various unexpected problems.
But now it seems that he is really arrogant and worrying. Although Li Ling made all kinds of great contributions to the rise of the King of England, this does not mean that others will be of no use if they leave him. On the contrary, even if he left Beijing, Ding You left Beijing, under Wen Ming, Wei Liang, and with the assistance of more officials from the court who have been joining, the King of England will continue to strengthen, which is even better than when he was in Beijing.
This is where the King of England dared to come forward and protect Li Ling at this time. He is no longer the prince alone, but the backbone of the King of England with huge backing!
So if you don’t know some things, it doesn’t mean that they are in the capital will be completely kept in the dark. If they have no countermeasures, it doesn’t mean that they have no solution.
Seeing Li Ling in deep thought, Sun Bi looked up again and said, "But we really didn't know that they wanted to plot against you. When we noticed this, their plan had been implemented, and you rushed to Jingzhou by yourself, completely falling into their calculations. So I simply thought of waiting for you to arrive in the capital and then setting a counterattack. It just made you suffer a little and frightened all the way. I hope you don't blame me."
"What the prince said? Don't say that I didn't suffer much. Even if I really did, I was responsible for it. It was the price of my despising the enemy." Li Ling said immediately, "By the way, Prince Wen, what hidden information and flaws have he mastered? Can I use it then?"
"This is the key to seeing you today. With your current identity, once you enter the Ministry of Justice, you may not be able to see anyone again. This time, you must first open the breakthrough before turning the case over. Listen to me and say it slowly..." Sun Bi put his head forward, and then carefully explained some key points that he had already mastered.
Li Ling also listened very carefully this time. While sighing at Wen Ming's ability to master the details, he also made some calculations in his mind and deduced how he should take the initiative in the court.
As the two of them said, they discussed, time passed quickly, and nearly two hours later, the carriage had stopped suddenly, and then they saw someone outside saying, "Prince, Lord Li, you have arrived at the Ministry of Justice."
The two of them had almost agreed. After looking at each other, Li Ling bowed to Sun Bi again: "Prince, then I'll go."
"Well, go with peace of mind, Wei Zhongxian is still waiting for you."
When Li Ling heard his teacher's name, he still felt awkward. You said that they are all good characters, so how can you combine them together? Especially if you add that surname, it will become a swear word?
When Li Ling got off the carriage, he was about to enter the yamen under the leadership of several servants from the Ministry of Justice who heard the news. He raised the curtains behind him, and Sun Bi added: "When you come out safely, I will send this carriage to you as a celebration."
"Then I will thank the prince here first." Li Ling immediately turned around and said with a smile.
At this moment, he no longer had the confusion and anxiety he had before. It turned out that all the worries before were nothing more than that, especially the point - King Ying Sun Bi, was not the incompetent lord who only knew how to command subordinates to do things but was hiding behind him. His character and ability were much stronger than the prince.
After entering the Ministry of Justice, Li Ling failed to see his teacher. Wei Liang had to avoid any suspicion and finally let one of his subordinate officials arrange for Li Ling to enter the Tianzhu. However, the care for him was obvious. Although both were Tianzhu, his cell was much better than other prisoners. Not only was it a separate room, it was spacious, ventilated and dry, but the sunlight shone in through the side window.
And in the evening, a prison guard came and asked him diligently what he wanted to eat. This was not a jail term, it was clearly a stay in the inn.
