Chapter 157: plead

Huo Dong, the new Ministry of Criminal Justice, came to hear the news, almost jumping from his seat because of excessive shock.
Even when he heard Nan Chen's overall imbalance and the defeat of soldiers and horses, it was not unexpected.
Ren Jinglei is the head of the spy in Nanchen, codenamed Yao Guang.
How is it possible that he is from the roots of the Miao Hong Da Zhou family, even the family and Nan Chen have extermination hatred!
He hurried to the prison.
Deep in the dim prison, the familiar young man was sitting on the bluestone ground behind a solid iron fence. One of the slender legs rested on the ground, the other curled up, with his arms resting on his knees.
Watching Huo Dong coming to the door of the prison. A handsome smile floated on Junsu's face, and he greeted him familiarly: "Huo Shang, see you for a long time."
Huo Donglai sank his face: "Why?"
"Why do everyone have to ask why?" Ren Jinglei was helpless.
"Is it secretly directed by General Pei?" Out of conspiracy theory, the first thing Huo Donglai thought of was the possibility that Pei Yi could raise Kou's self-respect.
The cunning rabbit is cooking and wants to continue to have greater authority and an unbreakable position in the army, then the stalemate of the war is the best way.
Beishuo's soldiers and horses are too dangerous. Nanchen, a half-dead thief, is able to keep his future position stable.
Ren Jinglei closed his eyes and opened it again. He smiled: "If I admit it, then you military forces in the Zhou Dynasty can fall into a situation of mutual suspicion and even killing each other?"
Huo Dong narrowed his eyes.
"But I still don't want to admit it, I don't want to affect him, I just don't bother to lie like this, which can be seen at a glance."
"At least under the emperor's concubine. He will not follow such a stupid strategy, nor will he do such a self-destructive thing."
"Well, Pei Ye, it's just a fool who I cheated."
...

In the palace, Qin Nuo looked at the paper in his hand.
There is no useful information, although the sentence has been used. If you think about it, if you are in such a critical position, if you are not fortitude and will be far better than ordinary people, you cannot lurk for so long, especially beside that person.
Huo Donglai's interrogation process was obviously trying to connect this matter with Pei Yi.
In all fairness, this is indeed the best time to limit Pei's authority.
Since the imperial coup, the rights of the Pei clan have gone too far. Huo Dong's coming here is considered considerate, but ...
There was still an unpleasant feeling in my heart.
It wasn't until Xu Min came to report, Wen Miao begged to see.
Qin Nuo put down the newspaper, "tell him to come in."
I caught someone the day before yesterday, can't I sit still today? The gentleman, the news is more informed than he imagined, but he is more impatient than expected.
Entering the hall, Wen Miao opened his door and said, "The original intention of the kingdom was to replace the life of the remaining 20,000 captives and General Yuwen."
"Wen Qing's news is well informed." Qin Nuo laughed. Ren Jinglei fell into his hands, but it was only one day and two nights of work, and was secretly arrested, the news was not leaked.
"As a person of Nan Chen, he has a set of means of communication. He has no news, and the minister knows that something must have happened." Wen Miao smiled bitterly. "In fact, the minister had advised him before, and he immediately set off to return. "
"This exchange, is this what you mean, or is it your Lord's?" Qin Nuo asked Shen Shen.
In a short period of time, Wen Miao could not have time to pass information back to Jian'ou City, using his captives in exchange for Ren Jinglei. Was it his own initiative or had he discussed this possibility with Chen Ye before he came.
"It's the minister's own idea, but if it is returned to the country, the lord of the state of the kingdom must also agree." Wen Miao calmly replied.
After a pause, he continued: "Ren Jinglei's real name is Chen Li, and he is facing the Nine Prince."
One sentence explains almost all doubts.
Qin Nuoqing couldn't help showing surprise, "Taking the prince as a fine work, the Lord of your country is really ..."
Regarding Qin Nuo, Wen Miao calmly said: "The country broke his home, His Highness Nine has been at least safer and dignified than other elder brothers for at least these years."
Qin Nuo no longer spoke. In addition to Chen Chen's escape, Nan Chen's other princes and grandsons, in addition to the prince and the three princes who committed suicide, several other princes, and dozens of princes and grandchildren all became Da Zhou Captives. Several of them have died of illness on the road to Beijing, and the others have been extremely distressed in the past ten years in Beijing. Not being trampled by people every day, there are even those who have become pets of the inside, and they can be played by others. The direct royal family still has this treatment, not to mention the fact that the other princes of the clan, the princes of the clan, are not.
These are things that happened during Emperor Jing Yao's years. Because of the death of his sister-in-law, Emperor Jing Yao hated the Southern Chen Clan. Naturally, those who lost their country did not have a good life.
Compared with their experience, Ren Jinglei stayed beside Pei Yi these years, and it is indeed a hundred times more decent.
"The emperor is a benevolent, and he also has half of the blood of the Southern Chen Zongshi. People who have lost their country are always involuntarily. I hope the emperor will be considerate." Wen Miao's voice was helpless.
Qin Nuo froze for a moment. According to his pedigree, he and Ren Jinglei were really cousins ​​...
But this thought is just a flash. Before the national dynasty, there is no room for compromise and affection, not to mention anything that was done before the thunder, and slaughtered countless people in Beijing, not even embarrassing Pei Yi. , Leaked the drawing of the organ that opened the crossbow to Nan Chen.
Later, in order to hide his behavior, when he leaked the secrets of Chen Fei's life to the Queen Mother Huo Party, he also requested a copy from Queen Mother Huo, which made many people mistakenly believe that Nan Chen was a drawing obtained from Queen Mother Huo. Qin Nuo was impressed by the deepness and meticulousness of his deliberations.
To such a dangerous enemy, Qin Nuo will never let the tiger return.
Use him in exchange for the South Korean prisoners and Yu Wenche ... Ha ha, this bunch of dim sum Qin Nuo didn't know how to deal with it. I wish that Nan Chen would clean it up for him, how could he agree.
"The emperor ... he told this to several adults before he came." Wen Miao said flatly.
"You ..." There was a flash of anger in Qin Nuo's eyebrows, and Wen Miao's move apparently touched his mind long ago, knowing that he had not placed the captives of the South Army in his eyes, and even more hated. So simply spread the news in advance. The senior and middle-ranking officers of the Southern Army have involved many noble families in Beijing, as well as lower-level soldiers, all of whom are brothers and sons of Da Zhou people. If there is a glimmer of hope for change, everyone will certainly look forward to it. Qin Nuo can't hesitate to disregard these people.
Qin Nuo quickly controlled his mind, and anyway, the dominant power was in his own hands. It was impossible to reverse the situation with a little so-called small means.
"What Ren Jinglei has done over the years is extremely sinful. Regardless of the military affairs, the situation of the disease has killed countless people. Is there anything worthy of forgiveness?"
Wen Huai whispered: "At the time of the epidemic situation, His Highness Nine also strongly opposed it. He believed that the strategy of seeking the country must not be done in this way and killing the people, but ... the minister insisted.
"It's not Mr. Wen you who insists, it's the king of your country." Qin Nuo sneered. This reason couldn't shake his fear of Ren Thunder.
Even if this plan is not approved, Ren Jinglei is more efficient than anyone else, killing the prince of Jinyi and burning down the temple of the city, step by step fastening the door of the imperial court.
He didn't want to quarrel over the matter anymore, and asked directly: "Also a captive, shouldn't Wen Qing be more concerned about the lives of other people who fell into the hands of our army than being the one who was shocked?"
In Wen Yue's astonished eyes, he ordered Xu Min to pass the report of the Battle of Cannes to Wen Yue.
Because it was delivered by carrier pigeons, it is only three or four days away, and the news from Nan Chen has not yet reached Wen Er's ears.
Wen Ying took the Zoubao and swept across at a glance, his face paled, but quickly stabilized.
He is a wise man. When he knew Ren Jinglei was arrested, he knew that the Zhou Dynasty had already locked in Yao Guang's true identity. So for the final secret report from Yao Guang, the layout of Cannes' strategy is mostly questionable.
He had expected the battle to be a big defeat, but he did not expect it to be so terrible.
40,000 killed and 10,000 captives.
According to the strategy layout of this battle, most of those killed were soldiers of the Nanchen family.
After the war, Nan Chen had fewer than 30,000 soldiers. Although there are still a lot of soldiers and horses recruited from the Nanman area, the combat strength is not bad, but these wall grasses have always been profitable and rush faster than anyone else. Once the situation reverses, they will certainly develop cowardice It is impossible to fight for the benefit of Nan Chen.
Wen Yan closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly.
Difficulties in the country, all the way through the thorns and difficulties, and finally going to an end?
Qin Nuo was not in a hurry, waiting for him to calm down.
"What's the emperor's intention?" Wen Yan opened his eyes, his eyes had recovered coldly.
"Do you want to replace this 10,000 captives with the 20,000 Southern Army? Or a thunder one?" Qin Nuo asked.
Wen Yan shook his head bitterly. "Is there any choice for the emperor and the court? The 10,000 captives, the emperor is willing to release?"
Qin Nuo smiled and didn't speak. The 10,000 captives were indeed impossible to return.
The two countries have fought for many years before, and they have exchanged captives several times, but that was a situation where the front was long and there was no comparison of wounded strength.
The battle at the moment is the most critical moment, and Nan Chen's strength is weakened to the extreme. It is when Da Zhou entered the situation that this 10,000 elite soldiers had a great relationship, and it was impossible to release them to increase their vitality.
But Ren Jinglei, Qin Nuo did not want to let it go.
Qin Nuo smiled: "The 20,000 southern army is not enough to compensate Yao Guang. If you want to substitute, bring the sailor fleet."
This was his most greedy purpose, and even allowed a certain amount of bargaining. He is bound to get the Nan Chen's sailor, which has a bearing on the overall situation of opening up sea trade afterwards, and even the attention of the fleet is still above Chen Nan, the emperor of Nan Chen.
Wen Miao's figure shuddered. The sailor fleet was the last life-saving sign of the Southern Chen Xiao court. In fact, when he was trapped in the six counties of the south, there were several times when the military was dangerous, and he relied on this fleet to escape. Or the Jedi fought back. This fleet has contributed to the support of the Southern Army for so long.
Qin Nuo was not in a hurry. "This matter, you can send a message back to Jianye and discuss it with your Lord."
"Wen Qing is a wise man in the world, focusing on the overall situation in the world. After knowing this battle, the situation in the southern battlefield can no longer be recovered. He is the prince of love and also knows the hardship of the people in the south.
"At this moment, if your Lord returns intently, He will be waiting for you, and you will always be rich."
Qin Nuo finally added a sentence.
He is really not in a hurry, he already has enough chips in his hands, and the naked eye will see more and more chips. Of course Qin Nuo is light and light.
He even has a more important move than Ren Renlei. This time the attack on Pidongying, he specifically ordered to bring something like that. Presumably the good news will come soon.
When the news of Jianou City comes down, can Wen Miao still maintain such a calm attitude?
Qin Nuo thought a little with gusto.
He sent away Wen Miao, who was walking heavily, and Qin Nuo had not waited for a breath before Xu Min came in hastily.
Came earlier than I thought.
Any one thunder, how many situations converged.
Qin Nuo summoned the general immediately.
Pei Yue stepped slowly into the hall, his footwork remained calm, his expression still calm.
Qin Nuo even had some doubts. Did he come to discern himself or ask for follow-up?
He stared at Pei Ye, waiting for him to speak.
However, Pei Yue did not speak, but went down on her knees.
"The minister intended to change his life with his professional duties and Gyeonggi military power."
He leaned down and bent down until his forehead touched the cold brick ground.
"Pei Qing!" Qin Nuo suddenly stood up, watching in shock the figure of Pei Yi kneeling on the ground.
The division between the monarch and the minister, since he became the emperor, Pei Yi has kneeled in front of him many times, but never before has he completely begged for his posture.
Before this scene happened, Qin Nuo couldn't even imagine that such a humble gesture would appear to this proud man.
"Let's get up," Qin Nuo said quickly, his voice a little trembling.
"Chen ... ask the emperor for forgiveness." Pei Ye didn't get up, his expression was bitter. "Everything is the fault of the court, it is the court's retribution."
His tone was bland, but with an inexplicable loss, as if he had already taken his fate, and was cruel to this reality.
"General ..." Qin Nuo suddenly felt a kind of heartache, just like the noble fell from the dust, the chivalry lost his reputation, and a near-perfect pure white porcelain was guilty of being broken by himself.
Starting from determining that Ren Jinglei was Yao Guang, he set up such a complicated situation and even risked being betrayed by Fang Yuan just to maximize this secret benefit.
Now, relying on this lurking chess piece, he calculated Nan Chen fiercely, successfully regained Kangcheng, and destroyed the main force of Nan Chen. He succeeded in forcing Pei Min to bow his head and reduce his authority. After Huo's pulse was suppressed, Pei's rights grew too fast and dangerous.
He tried his best to comfort himself. He didn't mean to do anything to Pei Wei, but a normal means of suppression and checks and balances on his subjects. Only when he was really restrained, could he and Pei Wei stay together for a long time.
But now, looking at this man in pain. The temptations and suspicions of the past were wiped out in an instant, and Qin Nuo even regretted it. This bureau is so cruel to the people in front of them.
Although it is not himself who is really cruel, it is the thriller Ren who has deceived the person in front of him for 13 years.
"General!" Without any hesitation and excuses, Qin Nuo took a breath, "General, get up."
"Your permission, spare him."
