Chapter 1076 The main culprit (Last Part)
Inside and outside the Golden Palace, thousands of ministers, at this moment, everyone fell into silence.
Their hearts were full of doubts and panic. No one expected that such a fundamental turning point and change would occur. Li Ling, who was obviously a suspect, became a layup in a few words shortly after he arrived. However, the King of Jing, who everyone thought he was devoted to the country, became a real suspect at this time, and he was obviously a prisoner who had been thoroughly verified. He had already obtained the evidence!
The Luotian Sect, even today, is still the target of the court's efforts to attack. As for the leader, he is the most important criminal of Tianzi. Now, he has been taken down by Li Ling, and what's even more amazing is that he actually colluded with King Jing early in the morning!?
If this is true, the impact on the court and the opposition will be stronger than the forgery of money being forged, which is enough to cause many officials in the court to be greatly implicated. Especially the officials who just saw King Jing come forward to impeach Li Ling, were even more uneasy at this time, fearing that they would be implicated because of this, and were also accused of colluding with the Luotian Sect.
And the other neutral officials who had no concerns about this aspect were shocked at this time and suddenly realized that the emperor had always been very calm and composed. From Li Ling pointing out King Jing's guilt, he was not surprised at all.
What does this mean? It means that in fact, Your Majesty has known all this for a long time, and even Li Ling's actions this time were carried out under his permission or instruction. Yes, it must be like this! Otherwise, Li Ling was obviously confined to the mansion before. If His Majesty had not been allowed by His Majesty, how could he go to Jiangnan, thousands of miles away and take down the Luotian Sect Master?
This is clearly a game, a game that leads King Jing to the point!
While many people had already understood it, Sun Qi also figured it out. His face began to turn blue and white. He looked at Sun Bi who was sitting high and without saying a word. He still underestimated the clever mind of this brother who could move up from the edge and climb up to the throne step by step.
It turned out that he had already suspected himself, and had discussed with Li Ling with such a plan to build a plank road and cross Chen Cang secretly, trapping him to death step by step until today, and everything was ready. Through this so-called impeachment of Li Ling, he deceived himself into the final trap.
Why are you so anxious? When you saw someone pointing at Li Ling and impeached him, you jumped out, hit the gun and hit the trap! Obviously, they also seized the opportunity that they urgently needed to push the charges on others to make such arrangements.
But the question is, where did they reveal their flaws that allow them to lay out such a trap in a targeted manner?
As if he saw what he was thinking, Li Ling smiled and said, "Actually, from the beginning, I suspected that someone in the court had colluded with the thieves of Luotian Sect, and wanted to cause chaos in the world. Everyone, do you still remember that Tianyou Tongbao was plundered and imitated last year?"
His sudden jumpy question really made many people feel that they couldn't keep up with the rhythm. But after a moment, everyone still remembered the situation at that time, as if it was really similar to the current money tickets being copied. They were both the same routine and the same purpose.
"At that time, we found out that this matter was inseparable from the Luotian Sect. It was just that their hands and feet were clean enough that there was no clue to further. But one thing was that I could make an assertion at that time, that is, someone in the court had a considerable collusion with the Luotian Sect, and he leaked the secrets of Tianyou Tongbao to the thief!
"Of course, judging from the situation at that time, there are not many people who can truly grasp all the details of Tianyou Tongbao and make fake money fake and fake real people. In addition to several officials and craftsmen from the Ministry of Revenue and our third department, they also participated in the design and casting of Tianyou Tongbao throughout the process, and also advocated that the material of copper coins should be made of more copper materials."
As he said that, Li Ling glanced at Sun Qi again: "Actually, from the result later, the one I doubted the most was you, Prince. After all, the reason why Tianyou Tongbao was plundered and recasted into a bronze ware and then released fake money was the key to this copper ratio. It was you who gave them convenience, which led to this chaos.
"But you are noble after all, and you can't convict you just by relying on such a little suspicion. Your Majesty also trusts you quite a lot and will not let the people from the Imperial City Department go to your palace for more investigation, so I can only find another method to expose you to a greater flaw.
"And this point came soon, and it was in this money ticket! There were actually three reasons for the issuance of this money ticket. The first was to facilitate the businessmen of the world and enable our Dayue trade to develop faster; the second was to replace Tianyou Tongbao, so that the chaos caused before could be quickly calmed down. These two points are known to everyone and are also told to the world. However, there is actually a third point, which is to prove which person is the culprit who really colluded with the Luotian Sect and leaked Tianyou Tongbao's secret.
"For this reason, I have brought all the officials in the casting of Tianyou Tongbao together, including you, Prince. Then, in the process of letting everyone discuss how to formulate the printing of money tickets, I added some tricks in the middle, which means that the anti-counterfeiting methods of each of you know are one deficiency - for example, Mei Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, he did not know that there is a dragon claw in the dragon pattern on the ticket, and only four claws. For example, you don't know that the vertical above the word Guan on the hundred-guan coin is out of the way... Only you know these flaws, so when you leak the news and let someone print it privately, there are naturally problems.
"And this time, the problem with the fake money paid by Jiangnan is that the one that did not make a comeback. I'm afraid I don't need to say more about what this means?"
"Hahaha..." Sun Qi let out a strange smile in the surprise reaction of everyone. He stared at Li Ling, his eyes full of resentment and fear, "You... are so kind-hearted that you actually set up this game early..."
"Yes, it's related to the country and the country, and the stability of the world, so I naturally have to be cautious!" Li Ling looked at him without any evasion, his eyes full of ridicule, "I know you have done a lot to cover up your crimes, but in fact, the more you do, the more you will only reveal more flaws.
"You are really brave enough to think of pushing the sin onto me and causing the fact that I leaked the inside story of the money ticket by kidnapping Yue Fei. You expected that I would do everything due to the brother-sister relationship and follow the requirements of the kidnappers. Even if I was careful, it doesn't matter if I gave the incomplete printing method of money tickets. Isn't you there? Anyway, as long as I give the relevant details, if something happens in the end, the sin will naturally be mine. It's really easy to calculate.
"So, after the incident, after those people snatched things from me, the imperial court sent many people to investigate everywhere, but they could not find any relevant clues. I think the things were destroyed after they were taken, right? Then, they could leave the capital in vain. What you want is just this fact, not the money ticket itself.
"But your extravagant behavior still made a big mistake, which was to expose yourself to Your Majesty and me. Concubine Yue was robbed on the way home. This matter itself was strange. She thought of it and left the palace and went home by chance. If it were a traitor in the Luotian Sect, how could she master this and make arrangements early? The only explanation is that someone in the palace informed me, and this is obviously not something that the remnants of the Luotian Sect could do.
"There is also the palace of Yuefei, which is full of doubts. It was someone who secretly guided her to make such a decision. This person is still in the palace, and perhaps the same person who conveyed the message. There are really few people in the court who can do all this, and you, King Jing, are the most doubtful one!
"In the end, it was the biggest mistake you made, that is, your subordinates broke the matter and caught the wrong person. The one you kidnapped was not Yue Fei, but the palace maids around her. But these people were not doing this job, and they did not intend to keep a living. They only knew to kill all the people in the car to prevent future troubles. As for the blackmail letter, it was the special trick of Luo Tian Sect, but it had nothing to do with you.
"Because of this, neither of you had any communication after that. They just took the possession of Yuefei's possession that you stole from in the morning and blackmailed me, but they didn't know that she had already returned home and returned to me that day. And I was just using tricks, waiting to let you reveal more flaws, so that you and the Luotian Sect could catch you in one go!
"I really have to thank you King Jing. Over the years, the Luotian Sect has been hiding in the dark and has not done much, which has caused the court to find their whereabouts. This is inappropriate. After all, the centipede insect died without being stiff. Who knows whether they will make a comeback in many years? But this time you colluded with them and caused such a big disturbance, but it revealed a huge flaw that allowed me to find them accurately, but it made the court stand up to the Luotian Sect once and for all!
"So, in a sense, you really made contributions to Your Majesty and the court."
After saying this long passage, the ministers were shocked. They really didn't expect that everything was already under Li Ling's calculations and arrangements, and King Jing, who seemed to have the initiative, had already fallen into a trap from the beginning. In this way, it seems that he would not be a loss for the net today.
