Chapter 153

Of course, Fan Ziran also understood that if he was still a paper old man and didn't ask questions, and hoped that the empress of the middle palace would use force to solve the problem, then if something happened to the empress, he would not let him go after returning to Beijing today.

After King Kang thanked his seat and questioned Fan Ziran, a scholar of Jianji Hall, "This thief is covering up a traitor. ?”

King Kang immediately said: "This thief is abominable. Doesn't Her Royal Highness want to speak for him?"

Siqing thought, huh?It was so easy to set King Kang up, so he asked unhurriedly: "Uncle Kang, I am serious. I really don't know what crimes Sun Pingfu has committed, so I ask King Kang to clarify my doubts."

Concubine Ding'an immediately added more firewood, "Yes, the crown prince is always sick recently, and the old man and the queen take turns taking care of him. How can he have the opportunity to take care of your outside affairs? The queen is just asking sincerely, King Kang, don't worry."

The implication is that Kang Wang: You are not dead yet, you first bullied us and the prince as orphans and widows!

Siqing felt guilty after being told by Concubine Ding'an, her eyes drifted away, and she said: "What Concubine Gui said is absolutely true!"

The last time Fan Ziran saw Concubine Ding'an and the Empress of the Central Palace teaming up with King Keng Duan, it was no surprise at this time, so he gave the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, Yue Wenkang, the servant of the Ministry of Military Affairs who stayed in Beijing. As for the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Yang Wanquan, of course he I was "sick" again and didn't come.

Yue Wenkang and the two came out to report Sun Pingfu's affairs. Siqing glanced at the noble concubine Ding'an from behind the curtain, and signaled to the noble concubine Ding'an not to say any more. I don’t know at all—since he abandoned the city and deserted and defected, why didn’t he just go south and join Dingfan instead of going all the way back to the Imperial Capital?”

Si Qing's words were like a fire boiling the water on the stove, the boiling water boiled up, and all the officials in the audience started talking.In the main hall of the East Palace, there was no official in charge of Chaoji, and the discussions below became louder and louder, and Si Qing simply stopped talking.

After a long time, the voice of discussion gradually subsided, and a loud yawn from the Crown Prince of the East Palace made the audience return to silence.Someone in the Huizong King said: "Your Highness does not know that Sun Pingfu surrendered to the police to confuse black and white and protect the Sun family."

Some of the six members immediately nodded in agreement.

Si Qing continued: "As expected, it means that he was afraid of his family's safety, so why did he defect for no reason at the beginning? When he defected, how could he not think of the situation of his family?"

Nazong Wang said: "Your Highness, Sun Pingfu may have been impulsive at the time, and he didn't worry so much..."

Si Qing immediately said: "You are right. Since he was impulsive, it means that there was a reason for the incident. Why did he abandon the city and land and not go to Puzhou to support Governor Zheng? What Minister Yue Wenkang and Yue just said is not very clear."

At this time, Yue Wenkang already understood that the Zhonggong intended to protect Sun Pingfu. Before he could speak, King Kang said again: "Your Highness, Sun Pingfu and Sun Chengfu, the Deputy Chief of the Jingwei who accompanied him, are uncles and nephews. I think that your majesty is here in Yizhou Ning Xinggong's illness may have something to do with Sun Chengfu. Their two uncles and nephews, one in the south and one in the north, are trying to disrupt the court. It is extremely abhorrent, and it is advisable to kill Sun Pingfu and arrest Sun Chengfu, so as to reassure the army."

Si Qing said disapprovingly: "There must always be evidence in everything - is there any evidence for what King Kang said?"

King Kang was speechless, and Sun Pingfu's colleague from the Ministry of War took the opportunity to say: "His Royal Highness, according to Sun Pingfu's confession, the reason why he failed to reinforce Governor Zheng in Pucheng was because he had not received an order from the herald. According to his speculation, the herald should He was killed by scouts from the enemy army. At that time, General Sun was waiting for orders for a long time, and he sent people to contact the King of Anping many times, but it was like a mud cow. General Sun suspected that there were spies from the Dingfan around the King of Anping County. Later, the King of Anping County refused to listen to Sun Pingfu Explain that he insisted on killing him, so he fled back to the capital, and hoped that His Majesty would issue an order to the King of Anping to thoroughly investigate the spies in the army, so as to protect the king and the army."

As soon as he finished speaking, King Zong cursed: "It's a bunch of nonsense and hypocrisy!"

Siqing was relieved after hearing this, and Sun Pingfu also understood that the King of Anping is currently holding heavy troops on the front line, and the fake military orders are related to the King of Anping.

He confessed to Si Qing that he received the false military order, and handed over the evidence to Si Qing, but made up another set of statements to confess.At this time, Siqing was completely determined to use Sun Pingfu, so she looked at Concubine Ding'an, and Concubine Ding'an nodded slightly.

At this time, Fan Ziran said: "I think Sun Pingfu's words are not unreasonable. It doesn't make sense to say that he went north to surrender because he was worried about hurting his relatives. If he really defected and violated the order, it would be a serious crime for punishing the nine clans. He will not return. Beijing, it has nothing to do with whether or not relatives are involved, at most it is changed to twist..."

Zuodu Censor, who was at odds with Fan Ziran, immediately said: "Mr. Fan Ge's heart is devoted to the traitor, is it reasonable? Could it be that Mr. Fan Ge has some connection with him?"

Fan Ziran immediately said: "Just now what Her Highness the Empress said is that everything is based on evidence, why do you Wutai say that I hooked up with Sun Pingfu?"

Siqing saw that going on like this was not an option, so she immediately asked: "Listen to what you guys think, whether or not to kill Sun Pingfu is the most important thing right now?"

Li Yuanzhen, a scholar and military secretary, was not in Beijing when he drove north. At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of War finally found an opportunity to play: "His Royal Highness, killing or not is a small matter. The rebels conquered Shu. Now they are trying to enter Qin and Jin from Sichuan and Shu. Qin and Jin are in a hurry. The most urgent thing is to send troops." Aid Qin!"

Siqing said, "What advice do you guys have?"

Fan Ziran said: "His Royal Highness, His Majesty has dispatched foreign troops to station in Beikou, Xishan Battalion, Fuzhou Battalion, Sanqian Battalion, Shenji Battalion, and Fifth Army Battalion in Gyeonggi can also mobilize part of the garrisons."

The Minister of the Ministry of War said: "The most important thing is that the leading generals in the court have all gone south, and now there are soldiers but no generals..."

At this time, a clan relative said: "The old minister recommends General Cheng Yingzhou Cheng of the Jingwei."

At this time, Zuodu Censor, who had just spoken out against Fan Ziran, said again: "It's not right! The capital has dispatched troops to support Qin and Jin, and the defense of the capital has been weakened. If General Cheng is sent to the west, I'm afraid the capital will be unstable."

Yue Wenkang, the servant of the Ministry of Punishments, said: "Exactly, General Cheng has never led troops in actual combat, it is indeed wrong."

The clan relative said: "Which general has led troops in actual combat since birth? This statement is extremely ridiculous!"

Siqing knew in her heart that if Cheng Yingzhou went to the western front, it would be tantamount to losing her own arm, and her clan had no good intentions at all.Moreover, Cheng Yingzhou had never commanded a large regiment battle, and he didn't know many common tasks of marching. It can be said that it is impossible for him to lead the army or rescue the emergency.

This time, Siqing and Concubine Ding'an realized that the clan would definitely recommend Cheng Yingzhou, so they deliberately did not let Cheng Yingzhou be present. At this moment, only Habayashi Wei commanded Tang Peng outside the hall.

Siqing asked: "If Cheng Yingzhou leads the troops to the western front, who will the defense of the capital be entrusted to?" She deliberately looked at King Kang, "Uncle Wang is old, why not entrust it to the eleventh brother?"
