In the Yanfu Palace of Kaifeng Prefecture, the prosecutor of the prosecutor, the three departments of Kaifu Yitong, and signed the letter to the Privy Council, Hexi and the two houses in the north. Tong Guan, Duke of Jing, was shameless and turned black and white, and made a big statement, saying that the great defeat was a great victory, and all blamed Liu Faxi for the failure of the He army on Liu Fa and others. Liu Fa, who died in the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country, became a scapegoat.

Tong Guan has always been strict in the military administration, extremely harsh in the generals under his command, and has a high position and a powerful position. How dare Liu Fa violate Tong Guan's military order? A discerning person has long seen that Tong Guan was completely nonsense at this time, but Zhao Ji believed it, and a stone in Zhao Ji's heart fell to the ground.

In this way, Tong Guan not only had no mistakes, but also had great achievements. As Tong Guan said, victory and defeat were common among military strategists. The Song army first won a great victory in Hengshan and then Tong'an City, but in the end, Zhenwu City achieved another victory, which greatly damaged the vitality of Xixia. Xixia might also surrender. Then Zhao Ji could concentrate on dealing with the matters in the north, concentrate on uniting with Jin, recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, and establishing a great cause for a long time.

It took Tong Guan’s Western Army to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to complete it, and Zhao Ji knew it very well.

The ambition to unify the world is about to be realized in Zhao Ji's hands. How could Zhao Ji not be overjoyed?

Zhao Ji is not a stupid person, but sometimes a person often ignores unhappy things and only pays attention to things that are exciting, especially Zhao Ji, who is very fond of merit.

To overthrow Tong Guan, Cai Jing's young master Wang Fu was determined to refute, but seeing Zhao Ji's happy look, he immediately opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

The fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, and Wang Fu was unwilling to be so bad. At this time, Wang Fu was thinking about today's affairs. How to ease the relationship with Tong Guan and defeat Cai Jing, and look for another opportunity in the future.

And Cai Jing and Tong Guan are grasshoppers on the same line, how could they expose him on the spot? So they remained silent and pretended to be drowsy.

Wang Fu did not say a word anymore, so no one in the court's civil and military ministers defended Liu Fa.

"Liu Fa did not obey the order and was defeated and died in battle. This is his own fault. I should punish him. But if he died in the Western Front, I will exempt Liu Fa and his family from being guilty of him." Zhao Ji said then.

"Your Majesty is as kind as the heavens, and I am grateful to you." The ministers said one after another.

"What's the Li Sanjian and Li Qing's family like? Why is the whereabouts unknown?" After the ministers were complimenting for a long time, Zhao Ji asked Tong Guan.

"Report to Your Majesty..." Tong Guan hesitated for a moment and replied: "Li Jingluo was the army's transshipment envoy, escorting food and grass to Tong'an City. After Liu Fa's defeat, he disappeared. However, as far as I know, Li Sanjian went north and most likely to surrender to the Western thieves."

Tong Guan regarded Liu Fa as a scapegoat, and more scapegoats are better than a scapegoat, so that it can be convincing.

Ah? Li Sanjian led his troops to surrender to the enemy. All the ministers were shocked when they heard this and were talking in a low voice in the hall. Some of them believed them, and some of them did not believe them. There were also many people who were gloating.

"What do you have to say that Li Sanjian surrendered to the Western thief?" Zhao Ji was also stunned by Tong Guanzhiyan. After a while, he asked with a pale face.

Li Sanjian was the minister of Zhao Ji's hidden residence. When Zhao Ji was King Duan, he met Li Sanjian.

It has been nearly twenty years since then. If Li Sanjian really surrendered to Xixia, Zhao Ji would be a blow to the point of being the first to be a blow to Zhao Ji.

At the same time, a top scholar in the Song Dynasty, a fourth-rank court official, and a high-ranking official who surrendered to the enemy was also a horrifying thing, and it would make the people in the world dumbfounded and have a great influence that is unimaginable.

If this matter is implemented, Zhao Ji will definitely take Li Sanjian and be punished.

The crime of colluding with the enemy and the great crime of the three tribes is unforgivable, but the crime is much more serious than Tong Guanqiang's crime on Liu Fa.

"Your Majesty, the Xia people I caught all said that this person was lonely because of the situation." Tong Guan replied after hearing this.

Zhao Ji was silent when he heard this, but the civil and military officials in the court were whispering, and no one could tell Li Sanjian.

Wang Fu doesn't, Cai Jing and others won't.

"A lot of nonsense!" After a while, only one person stood up to distinguish Li Sanjian, that is, Gao Qiu, the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Office.

Although Gao Qiu was the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Office and the rank was the Grand Marshal, a military minister could not interfere in the court's political discussions. However, at this time, Tong Guan actually falsely accused Li Sanjian, which would bring a catastrophe to Li Sanjian's family. Therefore, Gao Qiu had to stand up and risk "disobeying the system" and have to risk being implicated in this matter to speak out for Li Sanjian.

Who is Li Sanjian? He is Gao Qiu's brother and the favorite student of Gao Qiu's former master. At that time, the two were as close as brothers and were both ministers of the secret residence of Emperor Zhao Ji of Song. When Gao Qiu was in a downturn, Li Sanjian even took out the only two cents of money left in the family to fund Gao Qiu. This situation is still unforgettable.

If Tong Guan wronged others, Gao Qiu would never tell him. However, if the wronged person was Li Sanjian, Gao Qiu would have no choice but to be obliged.

So Gao Qiu walked out and pointed at Tong Guan and asked, "What Duke Tong Guo was saying just now was that Liu Fa violated your general order and sent troops without authorization. But my brother Sanjian was the strategic appeasement envoy of Qin Fenglu and was in charge of the military affairs of Qinzhou. Why did he inexplicably become the military transshipment envoy? He also transported food and grass to Tong'an City. Did he also violate your general order of Tong Guo's? What would you explain about this?"

It may be possible that one person violated the general order, but Li Sanjian also violated the general order, and then raised food, grass, weapons and other items on a large scale, and then transported the food, grass and weapons to the battlefield in Tong'an City? This has to be doubtful.

Gao Qiu, who was questioned by the court, couldn't help but focus everyone's attention on Tong Guan, including Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty.

Tong Guan felt a little panicked. The clothes on the vest were wet with sweat. If one answer was inappropriate, then Tong Guan would be wasted all his previous efforts and would not be able to escape the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Liu Fa sent troops to command Ancheng was also urged by Li Sanjian." After a moment, Tong Guan calmed down and answered in a calm tone.

At this point, Tong Guan had to hold on. Even if it was a knife from heaven or a sword or a prison in Dali Temple, Tong Guan must do so.

"Hahaha!" Gao Qiu couldn't help laughing three times and asked again, "Okay, okay, what do you say about your brothers from Tong Daguo say, but what is the evidence for you to say that my Sanjian brothers surrender to the enemy and treason? What the Xia people said in the mouth? Where are the Xia people who caught them? Can you confront them in the court? Even if the Xia people call me my Sanjian brothers, isn't it the Xia people's counter-espionage plan? I'm a big alienation plan?

Song monarch and ministers made the emperor suspicious and the ministers were heartbroken. This kind of thing was not without it before."

"I... this... counter-espionage plan? Maybe it's possible?" Tong Guan replied hesitantly.

Tong Guan held nothing more than the favor of Emperor Zhao Ji of Song and his border achievements in the northwest, and he was in charge of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. Gao Qiu's holy favor was not inferior to Tong Guan, but was a minister of the secret residence of Emperor Zhao Ji of Song Dynasty. In this regard, Gao Qiu was even far above Tong Guan, and Gao Qiu was also the "District Commander" who was in charge of the elite imperial guards of the Song Dynasty and guarded Kaifeng Prefecture and the Dawei. This comparison made the superior and inferior judgment immediately.

"Your Majesty!" Gao Qiu sneered and glanced at Tong Guan, then turned to Zhao Ji and said, "My Sanjian brother lost his father since he was young, and depended on his mother for his life. He has been filial to his mother since he was young, but his mother's orders were obedient and dare not disobey him. At the same time, his five wives, concubines, one son and two daughters are in the capital. Brothers Sanjian are familiar with the books of sages, how could they abandon their mother and the whole family and turn to the enemy? Who in the world can believe such a ridiculous thing? Can you remember that when the Sanjian brothers ignored their own safety and wrote memorials to their masters? How could such a loyal and filial person treason for the country and surrender to the enemy? Your Majesty, I believe that my Sanjian brothers would rather die than commit this matter."

Li Sanjian's second wife Wang Wen has given birth to a daughter, and Li Sanjian has only one son and two daughters.

As soon as Gao Qiu said this, he could not help but nodded repeatedly. Even Cai Jing could not help but nodded, and some ministers even cried ashamed.

Their knowledge is not as good as a slave who has won a future with his football skills, and it is so embarrassing.

Gao Qiu's words are still irrefutable. Filial piety is the classics of heaven, the righteousness of earth, and the actions of man. No one is greater than filial piety, and filial piety is the basis of self-management. In this world, it is extremely rare to abandon one's mother and the whole family and then treason the country and surrender to the enemy, and there is almost no such thing.

"I don't believe that Li Hanren will surrender to the enemy and treason." After a long time, Zhao Ji said with a expressionless face: "No matter what, I have won a great victory in the northwest, so I plan to set up a celebration banquet in Qionglin Garden to celebrate this great victory in the northwest."

"My emperor is wise! Long live my emperor!" The ministers sang together after hearing this.

As a result, Tong Guan was safe and sound, and the entire Song Dynasty court was also very happy. Emperor Zhao Ji of Song set up a banquet to celebrate the victory in the northwest. The banquet lasted for three days and three nights. At the banquet, all the ministers were flattering to praise the great achievements of Emperor Zhao Ji of Song Dynasty. I wish the Song Dynasty to recover the sixteen prefectures of Youyun as soon as possible, swallow up Liao and destroy Jin, unify the world, and establish a great cause that is unparalleled.

As for the fate of Li Sanjian and his Black Flag Army, no one paid attention to it.

Li Sanjian and his Black Flag Army went deep into the heart of Xia alone. No matter what the situation was, their fate could be imagined, and they were almost dead.

Li Sanjian's order was hanging on a thread. Among the ministers of the court, there were those who were happy, those who were regretful, and those who were gloating.

At this time, Cai Jing not only did not feel gloating, but he felt a little regretful for Li Sanjian.

Cai Jing and Li Sanjian have been in conflict for many years. Cai Jing regrets that Li Sanjian, who was once his son-in-law, had been able to please him at the beginning, then Li Sanjian would definitely help Cai Jing.
