Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters return to the dynasty (3)
The minister's words made Jin Ling immediately more vigilant.
Of course, these things he had not been secret, and he could ask for some inquiries as long as he had the intention. However, taking this matter out as evidence of his disagreement with Shang Jiong, and even deliberately slandering him and Shang Jiong for possible feudal ties, which is a bit intriguing.
Now, the monarchs and ministers in the court are looking at him and seeing him answer this way. In fact, this question is also a question in the hearts of many people. Many people can't understand why he suddenly turned against Shang Jiong, who has always supported him and is in the same camp.
"What do you call this master? Please forgive me for being clumsy and unaware of it." Jin Ling did not directly answer this sentence.
"I am Gu Ruodao, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel." The minister said, "The deputy commander of Jin has not been in court for a long time and has not had much contact with the ministers in the court. It is not surprising that I do not know me."
"It turns out to be Lord Gu." Jin Ling said, "I feel respectful and disrespectful."
"You don't have to be polite to the Deputy Commander of Jin." Gu Ruodao was not grateful for his politeness, and said, "Now the court is talking about the fact that the Deputy Commander of Jin and the Highness are in trouble at the Shangui Department. Moreover, after the conflict, the Highness dies near the Manze. This matter is inevitable. Please let the Deputy Commander of Jin understand this matter."
Jin Ling sneered: "Gu Darao means that I was angry after quarreling with Your Highness, so I took action to kill Your Highness?"
Gu Ruodao was stunned, "I have never been like this before."
"But everything you meant this!" Jin Ling sneered, "Master Gu might as well be direct. I was resentful after the argument and directly killed Your Highness!"
Gu Ruodao said nothing, but the expression on his face showed that it was very meaningful.
Jin Ling looked at Shang Zhen and looked at the princes and ministers around him: "Your Majesty, you all know that when Jinyuan was first established, I met His Highness through the incident of the Iron Iron on Lingshan. His Highness has always been good to me and has always trusted and supported me very much. Yes, Jinyuan has been able to successfully grow the palace over the years, which is inseparable from His Highness's support. Moreover, the Jin people have equal rights with other people in the kingdom, which is also my wish. Yes, I am just grateful to Your Highness, so why would you have a murderous intention because of a little disagreement? If I kill Your Highness, what good will it do to me? Will it be the promotion ceremony of your second Highness?"
"Jin Ling, let it go..." The second prince was furious when he heard the last sentence. He was about to scold him, but he felt indecent in the court and took it back.
"Okay, stop arguing." The king of the country, Shang Zhen, waved his hand, "Jin Ling, I ask you, why are you quarreling with Jiong'er at the Shangui tribe and hitting people?"
"Your Majesty, the dispute with Your Highness was caused by the tens of thousands of prisoners of Lou Fang's tribe." Jin Ling simply repeated the situation at that time.
"Do you don't agree to return the prisoners of war in Lou Fang's army to the right-road army?" Shang Zhen's face became more and more gloomy. Because he made this decision. Shang Jiong just carried out his order to go to the Jinyuan army of Shangui.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Ling said, "The tens of thousands of prisoners of war in Loufang's army were captured at the cost of bloody battles and countless casualties. They are also building city walls for various parts of the Shangui's army, dredging waterways, and reclaiming farmland to transport mud. At this time, they are releasing them to Loufang's army, which is unfair."
As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military ministers in the court were in an uproar.
"Do you think this decision of the king is unfair to you?" Shang Zhen's face turned black. He was criticized by a young man in front of so many ministers, of course he could not bear the pressure on his face.
"The Loufang tribe needs to calm people's hearts and consolidate their governance." He said, "They have surrendered to the kingdom, that is, the kingdom's territorial people. Let their people go home to reunite with their wives and children. This is human nature, and it is also beneficial to the stability of people's hearts. I think this move is fair."
OK, if Shang Zhen insists so persistent, Jin Ling won't be able to confront him head-on. After all, the one standing opposite is the lord of a country. Besides, he had expected this situation.
"When you go back to your Majesty, I have never allowed these tens of thousands of Lou Fang prisoners of war to go home and reunite with their families. In order to stabilize the overall situation of the kingdom, this is an inevitable move, and of course it must be done." Jin Ling said.
As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military officials in the court were shocked again. They thought that Jin Ling had contradicted Shang Jiong for this, and his position must have been very firm. Unexpectedly, Shang Zhen only said a few words in front of him, and his position changed directly.
This change made them feel powerless to hit soft cotton with heavy punches
Moreover, this also made the civil and military ministers in the court feel that this young man is quite a person who knows the current affairs and knows how to drive the rudder.
"So, do you agree with my king's proposal?" Shang Zhen's tone also slowed down.
"The king is wise, of course, I agree with this proposition. I never thought of leaving these tens of thousands of prisoners of war in the Shangui tribe forever. The people of the Shangui tribe are barren and have long been overwhelmed by the burden of food for tens of thousands. I hope they can leave as soon as possible." Jin Ling said, "But they are always punished as the invaders of the Shangui tribe. Moreover, the Shangui tribe is in ruins and needs construction everywhere, especially the construction of city defense and dredging of the waterway. Therefore, they have the need to exist and stay. The main point of argument between the Minister and His Highness is not to let them go, but to let them go before they finish these construction work or later."
"So it's this problem." Shang Zhen smiled reluctantly, "If you don't know it in person, I really don't know that there is such a reason. That's all, I will give you three months. After three months, no matter whether the construction of your Shangui Tribe is completed, they will be returned. First, consider the surplus of your food and grass, and second, there are still tens of thousands of people in your Shangui Tribe, which is enough to use it."
"The king is wise, and the poor minister obeys the order." Jin Ling accepted the order.
"Also, what happened to beat Guo Wei?" Shang Zhen asked.
Jin Ling then clashed with Guo Wei. Shang Zhen then realized, and said, "As Jiong'er's confidant, Guo Wei has always had the power to bully and mercy. I have heard of it. He was beaten by you and he won't blame you. Forget it, that's all."
"Father!" The second prince in the court was anxious, so he let Jin Ling go? He hurried forward, "Jin Ling's place is all his one-sided words! The Shangui tribe was controlled by him in Jinyuan, of course, only his words are followed! What is the cause of the death of the eldest brother, and it needs to be carefully examined!"
"Second Your Majesty, are you questioning Your Majesty's decision?" Jin Ling glared, "Your Majesty just now, this matter is just now. Didn't you hear it?"
The previous one was suffocated. Seeing that Shang Zhen's face was unhappy, I realized that in a hurry, this sentence touched Shang Zhen's authority a little, so I had to retreat embarrassedly.
