The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 350 Military Pay (1)

Seeing this, Ye Hua raised the corners of his lips. It was just a dying struggle. Today is Ye Li's death day!

At this moment, the soldier captain who went outside to check the military pay has come back to report, strode in, knelt down and reported: "Return to Your Majesty, I have ordered the investigation, and there is no shortage of military pay for the supply troops, and all of them are here."

Ye Hua's smile froze, and he heard Zhang Ji's angrily voice outside: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged——"

I saw Zhang Ji staggering out from the group of guards. His clothes were crumpled and his hair was a little messy from the pushing. His face was flushed at the moment, as if he had been greatly hurt. insult.As soon as he came in, he knelt down without saying a word, kowtowed heavily to the emperor a few times, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged!"

Zhang Ji has been an official in the court for so many years, and he can be regarded as quite important. It is rare for Zhang Ji to look as embarrassed as he is now.Even the emperor couldn't beat and scold him easily, otherwise the hearts of all the courtiers would be chilled.He said: "Aiqing is alive."

Zhang Ji raised his head and was not in a hurry to stand up. He just raised his head and looked angrily, as if he was about to faint from anger in the next second. Insisting on pouring dirty water on the old minister, ruining the old minister's reputation, his intentions are extremely sinister, please Your Majesty to be the master of the old minister!"

The emperor sighed, and turned his gaze to Ye Hua, Ye Hua opened his mouth slightly, as if he hadn't recovered from the sudden change.Suddenly aware of the emperor's gaze, he raised his head, and was immediately chilled by the icy coldness in the emperor's eyes. He stood there as if falling into an ice cellar, not daring to move.

Zhang Ji was proved to be innocent, and the military salary was not short at all. Naturally, someone wanted to wrong Zhang Ji.Zhang Ji has been an official all his life, and he holds a lot of weight in the court. Even if he has a bit of brains, he will not attack him. Then, he will attack the people behind Zhang Ji again.If Zhang Ji was framed, Ye Li would be the first to be implicated and suspected.Now, whoever sees Ye Li as a thorn in his side the most is naturally the fifth prince Ye Hua.

The courtiers who were still in trouble just now dared not say a word, and the people from Ye Hua's faction were silent. No one knew what happened. The news they got was that Zhang Ji will be investigated for stealing military pay today. But now that Zhang Ji'an is safe and sound, the news must be wrong, how dare he hit the knife's edge.

The courtiers of Ye Li's faction put on airs of watching the show, and they couldn't hide the arrogance in their eyes.

Ye Li sighed, and gently comforted him: "Your Majesty Zhang, you don't need to be sad. You have been an official for so many years, and you are fair and comfortable. Father will definitely make decisions for you."

Zhang Ji said indignantly: "It would be fine if it was just to insult the old minister, but this movement is obviously to delay the journey of the supply troops. If the military salary is not delivered to the border for a day, the soldiers will suffer another day of bitter cold. This... It's clearly ill intentions, trying to embarrass my soldiers at the border of Dajinchao!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.Even the emperor sitting on the nine-fold dragon chair suddenly had a cold look in his eyes.

Ye Hua yelled in his heart that it was not good, it was an undercurrent between the princes, but he taught the old man to talk about the border war.Everyone knows that the war between the Dajin Dynasty and the Tianjin Kingdom is the worst thing to mention.Although on the surface it looks like Dajinchao is getting good news because of the arrival of Jinyiwei, but the danger involved cannot be understood by outsiders.This is a knife hanging on the flowery palace of the Dajin Dynasty, no one can touch it, but now Zhang Ji clearly puts the knife in front of everyone, and it also draws blood on the knife. how to think?I'm afraid that he will think that he has the intention of harming the country, and if he speculates further, he may even connect with the enemy!
There is not enough evidence to convict the matter. The news came out inexplicably. Even Ye Hua couldn't be sure of the source of the news. The emperor couldn't find the person who sent the message, so he must be even more surprised, thinking that Ye Hua's ability is so great that even his The point where you can't control it, this is not a good sign for the emperor.

"Aiqing, there is indeed something strange about this matter, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation." The emperor said solemnly, the chill in his words surprised everyone present.No matter how clear the emperor looks at it on weekdays, the innate majesty in his bones cannot be violated. Since the people behind him played tricks on him like a monkey, if they are really going to be caught out, what is the end?He looked at Zhang Ji, who was kneeling on the ground crying all over the place, and comforted him, "I still need you, and the soldiers of the Dajin Dynasty also need you. I will make that person pay the price for what happened to me today. It's just that the border is tight now." , Aiqing has to make a trip for things after this, it is too late now, the departure is changed to tomorrow, Aiqing returns home today to rest and recuperate, and I will draw up an order later."

This is to appease Zhang Ji and seriously investigate the matter.The more Ye Hua listened, the more he felt bad, but if he spoke at this moment, it would undoubtedly add fuel to the flames, so he could only swallow all his grievances without saying a word, but his face was so ugly that he almost walked away.

Now that the emperor had let go of his arrogance, Zhang Ji definitely didn't take Joe for a reason, and thanked the emperor for his kindness, and the turmoil of the mighty military salary gradually subsided.After Zhang Ji returned to the mansion, he would naturally receive compensation from the palace. It was indeed an unpleasant thing for a generation of veterans to be slandered.On the surface, it seemed that Zhang Ji had been wronged, but in fact it was not painful, which made the emperor trust him even more.In the end of this scene, the loser is only Ye Hua.

The emperor didn't blame Ye Hua at the moment, but his every move today fell into the eyes of the emperor, and he would think about it and look at it in his heart.Sometimes, achieving a certain goal does not require full evidence and certainty. Just bury a seed of doubt quietly in the heart of the other party and wait for it to break through the ground and germinate. One day, this seed will burst out at a certain opportunity. Great power.What happened today was a seed buried in the emperor's heart. The emperor became suspicious of Ye Hua. From then on, whatever Ye Hua did that fell into the eyes of the emperor, he might not have other thoughts. It's time.

Today's loser is Ye Hua, but the biggest winner is Ye Li.He didn't do anything at all, and he didn't even show up, but he easily won the emperor's sympathy and trust, and paved the way for his next plan.When he passed Ye Hua slowly, he smiled slightly, looking at Ye Hua's gloomy eyes as if there was a trace of silent contempt.Ye Hua clenched his fists tightly, and managed not to hit him with a fist.

And behind Ye Li, there was a smiling gaze looking at him. This gaze came from the crowd among the officials, and it was not particularly noticeable.It was a young man in a purple official uniform with a mustache and a meaningful look in his eyes.When he withdrew his gaze, he unexpectedly found that there was a person standing not far from him quietly watching Ye Li. That person hadn't grown up yet, but he was just a young child with a beautiful and delicate appearance. His eyes were as bright as a fine colored glaze stone, but his eyes were cold and gloomy, which seemed somewhat familiar.

The child seemed to sense his gaze, turned his head, stared at him coldly, turned around, and the little eunuch on the side rushed to meet him: "Your Highness the Thirteenth, go slowly..."
