Chapter 187 Rebellion?

Chapter 187 Rebellion?

At the same time, above the court hall in Tokyo.

There was another heated discussion about another extremely unbelievable thing.

That is the Minister of Industry, Li Jie, who has always shown himself to be harmless to humans and animals, diligent and sincere, and conscientious.

Actually, they actually colluded with the Qingfeng Mountain strongman to rebel!

Not only did Zhao Ji, an official, not believe this, but also few people in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty believed it.

However, the evidence of its genuine value was now in Kong Youdao's hands.

Therefore, the ministers could not help but not believe this fact.

"Kong Aiqing, then Li Jie's rebellion is really too unexpected."

"If we only rely on this letter, it is really hard to believe that this matter is true."

"How about you tell the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty how you got the letter in your hand?"

"This will also allow the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to make a rough judgment on this matter, so as to avoid wrongly blaming good people."

After Kong Youdao heard Zhao Ji's words, he nodded repeatedly.

Immediately afterwards, he told the whole story of how he received this letter to the civil and military officials in the court, as well as Zhao Ji who was sitting on the dragon throne.

It turns out that this happened just last night.

Kong Youdao had developed a small hobby since before he became an official.

That is, I like to take a walk in my yard after night falls and read aloud the poems and works of my predecessors.

Because he always feels that this will make his memory clearer and his reading more emotional.

And last night, as usual, after dinner, when it was getting dark, he took two books of poetry and came to the courtyard.

But just after he read two paragraphs, there was a very urgent knock on the door.

Such a weird scene immediately made Kong Youdao frown.

Because of his stubborn temper, almost no civil or military officials in the court were familiar with him or had frequent contacts with him in private.

And he didn't have any relatives in the capital.

Therefore, when night falls, there will be no one alive except those homeless wild cats and dogs who will come to visit his house.

In the past, because no one disturbed him, he could immerse himself in poetry and couldn't extricate himself.

But today, someone actually knocked on the door, which made Kong Youdao feel very puzzled.

However, when he walked to the door and called two or three times in succession, there was not even an answer from the door.

This couldn't help but make him even more suspicious.

When he slowly opened the door, he saw a man wearing black clothes and black trousers burst in.

The unsuspecting Kong Youdao was immediately startled.

Just when he was about to scold the other party, the other party quickly took out a letter from his arms and handed it into Kong Youdao's hand.

"Li Jie Li Shilang, right?

This is a letter written by the leader of my family to you."

"I hope that after Minister Li sees this letter, he will do what it says."

"When the time comes, my leader will definitely leave a seat of honor for you on Qingfeng Mountain."

"When the time comes, we all will weigh the gold and silver together, drink heavily, and eat meat. How happy it will be!"

The man in black spoke like beans from a bamboo tube, and smashed them towards Kong Youdao.

He was shocked and dumbfounded.

In an instant, Kong Youdao felt that his head was not enough.

He couldn't help but murmur to himself:

"This, this, what is this?"

"The leader of Qingfeng Mountain?

Top position?

Are gold and silver weighed on a large scale?"

"Is it possible, is it possible..."

Just as Kong Youdao was muttering to himself, the man in black had already disappeared at the door of his house.

When Kong Youdao came back to his senses, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

He first glanced at the empty door, then slowly opened the letter that the man in black had thrust into his hand.

When he saw the name written on it, he was frightened and trembled all over.

His hands trembled and he almost threw the letter to the ground.

Then, Kong Youdao took two steps to the door and locked it.

At this time, Kong Youdao had no intention of reading any more poems.

Instead, dragging his trembling body, he arrived in front of the bookcase in the room in a few steps.

He looked at the letter in his hand carefully.

I saw it clearly written above: My younger brother, Li Jie, wishes to marry me personally, and my elder brother, Song Jiang, has paid homage to me.

Kong Youdao's triangular eyes blinked several times quickly.

Then, with trembling hands, he opened the letter sealed with fire paint.

As soon as he read it, Kong Youdao was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.

And what was written in the letter was only a few hundred words.

But every word and sentence above shocked Kong Youdao.

The above not only explains the time when Li Jie rebelled and went to Qingfeng Mountain, but also explains many details in detail.

For example, before letting him leave, he also persuaded all the officials from the Ministry of Industry in the DPRK and China to leave.

If they refuse to leave, they will poison all the officials from the Ministry of Works and their craftsmen.

And after doing these things, he also ordered Li Jie to burn the office of the Ministry of Works to the ground.

Finally, he explained in the letter the location where Li Jie met the Qingfeng Mountain strongman.

When Kong Youdao read this letter, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

How sinister this plan is!

If Li Jie and the strong man from Qingfeng Mountain were allowed to successfully implement this plan, then all the craftsmen of their Song Dynasty would be wiped out.

That night, Kong Youdao was so frightened that he didn't dare to sleep all night.

Early the next morning.

He hurriedly climbed out of bed and rushed to the court.

He reported Li Jie's intention to rebel to the official Zhao Ji.

When Zhao Ji and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard what Kong Youdao said, they couldn't help but feel frightened.

The protagonist of this incident, Li Jie, did not appear in this morning court because he had to build a garden for Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, frowned and thought for a long time.

"Li Aiqing has been an official for many years, and he is very responsible and has always been conscientious in his work. Will he really betray the imperial court?"

"Is there any misunderstanding in this?"

As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, Su Yuanjing, who had a solemn face, walked out from among the officials and saluted Zhao Ji who was sitting at the top:

"The official sage."

"Just imagine, in this whole world, which official of the imperial court would be willing to give up his fame, fortune, and wealth, and instead become an enemy of the imperial court?"

"What good will this do to them?"

"So from my point of view, this matter is fundamentally unreasonable."

"If my guess is correct, there must be a traitor who is causing trouble."

"As for its purpose, Wei Chen hasn't figured it out yet."
