Chapter 185 "I, Zuo Yuanfeng, pay my respects to the Emperor."
Not long after, I saw Zuo Yuanfeng stepping into the hall with a solemn expression.
In two or three strides, he came to the center of the hall next to the two people who were stating their grievances.
He knelt down on one knee and spoke loudly.
The wind in Zuo Yuan sounded like a bell and was as powerful as a rainbow.
The Minister of War, Mr.
Liu, who had just been interrupted by the captain of the guard, silently stepped aside.
Emperor Zhengcang saw this and said: "General, please rise.
Before the court meeting, I promised you that you don't have to come specially to attend and just organize your troops.
Why does the general think of attending the court meeting now?"
Zuo Yuanfeng stood up after hearing this, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I did go to the military camp before this, but I didn't want to catch a northern general who returned to Beijing without authorization.
That's not all."
When Zuo Yuanfeng said this, he took out a letter and handed it to the chamberlain, while saying: "I also found a correspondence from him and asked the emperor to read it."
"Oh, when will such a trivial matter need General Zuo personally to do it?
Come up and show it to me."
Seeing this, Emperor Zhengcang glanced at Mr.
Zuo who was standing aside, and felt that the father and son were very interesting today. .
But when Emperor Zhengcang opened the letter and read it, he couldn't help but frowned and looked at Zuo Yuanfeng in confusion.
Emperor Zhengcang spread the letter paper outward and shook it out in front of the ministers.
All the ministers looked at it curiously, and upon closer inspection they discovered that although the letter paper was full of words, it was in a foreign language that they could not understand at all.
"General Zuo, you are going to court now.
Are you going to let me read this incomprehensible book?"
Emperor Zhengcang looked at Zuo Yuanfeng and said.
Hearing this, Zuo Yuanfeng took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, as you and other courtiers have seen, this article is not written in the script commonly used by our dynasty, but in Hui Qiang script."
"Hui Qiangwen" Emperor Zhengcang immediately said doubtfully after hearing this.
Immediately, Emperor Zhengcang thought about the recent trend of Hui Qiang activities in the north, and couldn't help but think secretly.
Northern Territory Emperor Zhengcang suddenly thought of something and asked Zuo Yuanfeng: "The general said just now that he captured a border general who came to Beijing privately, and it was in the north.
It couldn't be the former General Wang Ning, who was engaged in Zhonglang Wang."
Zuo Yuanfeng nodded immediately after hearing this. said: "Exactly this person."
"Where is Wang Ning now?"
Emperor Zhengcang immediately shouted and said angrily.
Zuo Yuanfeng immediately raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have captured this person.
I have brought him into the palace.
Right now Wang Ning is waiting for the Emperor's death outside the palace."
After hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang turned around and returned to the dragon chair, waved his sleeves and said: "Bring it up."
Zuo Yuanfeng bowed his hands.
Then he stepped aside.
Standing next to his son.
Seeing this, Zuo Chi glanced at Zuo Yuanfeng slightly and said softly, as if he was dissatisfied: "I'm sure of things here, so why do you need to take extra steps?"
When Zuo Yuanfeng heard this, his eyebrows twitched immediately.
Although he was very dissatisfied with his son's lack of knowledge, at this time, the father and son were in a place where they could not act rashly, so he had no choice but to say: "It happened by chance.
It's useless to put it in my hand.
How about using it to strengthen your momentum."
After hearing this, Zuo Chi glanced at Zuo Yuanfeng lightly, but said nothing.
Looking at Wang Ning, who was pressed up by the palace guards, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

He no longer had the dignity and pride of the past, but he secretly said in his heart: This Wang Ning was obviously captured by his father the day before yesterday, but he only mentioned it to the emperor today.
He really had good intentions.
"Wang Ning, do you know your guilt?"
Emperor Zhengcang shouted angrily when he saw Wang Ning being escorted to his knees.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know where this letter came from," Wang Ning immediately argued in a mournful voice.
"Humph" Emperor Zhengcang snorted when he saw this, and turned to look at Zuo Yuanfeng.
Seeing this, Zuo Yuanfeng immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please ask an official from the Ministry of Rites who knows Hui Qiang to translate the content of the letter for everyone present to listen to."
Emperor Zhengcang nodded and handed the letter in his hand to the chamberlain beside him.
The chamberlain was also smart.
Seeing this, he hurriedly walked towards the row of civil servants with the letter in his hand.
Before he reached it, he saw a young official of the sixth rank of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I know a thing or two about Hui Qiang script, but please give it a try."
The chamberlain turned around and saw Emperor Zhengcang nodding in agreement, and respectfully handed the letter to the sixth-rank official of the Ministry of Etiquette.
I saw the official from the Ministry of Rites roughly read what was written on the letter, and quickly said loudly: "Your Majesty, this letter was written by He Qili, the leader of the Aowei clan among the current tribal leaders of the Hui Qiang.
The content roughly states that Wang Ning, the general guarding the northern border, secretly embezzled bribes to deliver news from our court to the Hui Qiang.
Concealing his recent activities on the northern border to the court.”
"Bold Wang Ning, what else do you have to say?"
Emperor Zhengcang was so angry when he heard this, he stood up and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, this is none of the general's business.
The general has been wronged."
Wang Ning was escorted by two guards.
He raised his head with difficulty and begged for mercy without giving up.
"Huh."
Emperor Zhengcang didn't say anything when he saw this.
Instead, he turned to look at Zuo Yuanfeng and said: "General, in addition to this letter, the general must have other evidence in his hand.
If he is not sure about Wang Ning's crime, how can the general come to court at this moment to tell me whether what he said is true or not?"
Zuo Yuanfeng smiled lightly, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I do have something else in my hand, I guess" As Zuo Yuanfeng spoke, he took out the things he was talking about, stretched out his hands and spread them out in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "General Wang, you don't recognize this thing, do you?"
Wang Ning looked up when he heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, and he immediately sat on the ground dejectedly.
Seeing this, Zuo Yuanfeng snorted contemptuously, turned around and said to Emperor Zhengcang: "Your Majesty and colleagues, please see, this is a token only owned by the Hui Qiang royal family.
Whenever you hold this token, even in the territory of Xining, as long as you are a Hui Qiang person, you must obey its orders.
If the cards are not deeply trusted by the Hui Qiang royal family, how can ordinary people obtain them?"
"Wang Ning, what do you have to say now that things have come to this?"
Emperor Zhengcang saw that there was still something unclear and looked at Wang Ning and said angrily.
When Wang Ning saw what had happened, he looked gloomy and sat on the ground in a daze.
After hearing Emperor Zhengcang's words, he immediately turned around and knelt down, kowtowed and cried: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on me!
I will be forced to have no choice."
At this time, both Emperor Zhengcang and the many courtiers who were watching, seeing that Wang Ning was still unrepentant after everything had happened, shook their heads and made accusations one after another.
Wang Ning still turned a deaf ear and just knelt and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy.
Emperor Zhengcang was influenced by someone when he was young, and he couldn't stand this kind of person who was not magnanimous and irresponsible.
His expression became impatient, and he said calmly to Wang Ning who was kneeling in the audience: "Even now, you still don't repent.
It's really abominable.
Look back and see who the person kneeling next to you is."
Wang Ning paused when he heard this, and immediately raised his head and looked around him in confusion.
But he met Dou Ba's eyes full of anger and indignation.
Wang Ningdang collapsed on the ground as if he had been greatly frightened, pointed at Dou Ba and said intermittently: "You, you, you, how come you are not dead?"
