Chapter 312： reversal

Chapter 312 Reversal

Han Zhanghe's eyes widened and he raised his head abruptly, his mind buzzing.

A fiery flame ignited in his eyes again, which contained monstrous hatred. He raised his thin chin and gritted his teeth: "Gu Ce surrendered to the enemy to open the city gate, causing tens of thousands of civilians to die in vain. Comparable!"

He misunderstood the second girl Gu, he admitted; but Gu Ce's crime is known to the whole world, and the world is the proof, how can the first prince be able to erase it with a few words!

Father is father and daughter is daughter!

The other students behind him felt the same way and nodded, with the same indignation written on their faces.

The students were indignant, but Chu Yi still smiled lightly and asked, "Who saw you?"

Nine years ago, after the Nanyue army captured Tailing City in Yangzhou, they slaughtered it for three days.

All the Dajing soldiers who participated in the war died in battle, and they were buried alive. The people in Tailing City were also ten rooms and nine empty, and it could be said that there were corpses everywhere.

The students present and the onlookers outside had heard that the smell of blood over Tailing City lingered for a long time, and crows flew in droves.

But now the eldest prince asks, who has met?

This question can be said to be a bit poignant, and Han Zhanghe and the others were speechless for a while.

Chu Yi repeated again: "Without investigation, there is no right to speak."

Chu Yi just said this sentence, and everyone still remembers it.

If he had said this before today, it would have attracted the disgust of many people, especially these students present, who would have written and written a lot and criticized them.

At this moment, we say it is an export.

Today, we followed the little prince for a long time, watching me act as a person. I was not a foolish person who was bewitched by beauty, nor did I become mediocre and strong because of being a young boy in South Vietnam.

Our little prince is a person who only looks at it or forgets it, and is a person who has no gaps in his chest, no words in his words, and no deeds in his actions.

Moreover, the lesson of the Hua family's case is at hand.

The students looked at each other, and their hearts, which were soft like a city wall, lost a little bit of slack.

He has a narrow and benevolent temperament. One year after he ascended the throne, he abolished several miscellaneous taxes and draconian servitudes. He also supported the academy with all his strength and opened the imperial examinations. It was not because he wanted to give our ordinary students a chance to show their ambitions.

It seems that the late emperor valued these low-class families more. Although he had not abolished the imperial examinations during his 70 years in office, he had also re-used any poor families.

The next time I ascend the throne, I will open Enke, which is obviously to declare my political views to the students of the poor family in heaven.

An emperor like    should be only narrow benevolence, but also a monarch who has no heart for heaven and tries to revive.

Since today and the little prince both feel that there is no secret about Han Zhang's surrender to the enemy, could it be that there is really no secret...

Gu Yunhe took a deep breath, maintained his posture, looked at Chu You momentarily, and said solemnly, "Is there no evidence in the palace?"

"If there is not enough evidence, it's time to rectify the name now." Chu You's expression was extremely fierce, and his tone was quite indifferent.

Gu Yunhe heard the voice in my words from Chu You's words, and asked slowly: "Is there any clues in the palace yet?"

Before the words were spoken, Gu Yunhe was afraid that it was the secret of the imperial court, so he wanted to say something, but Chu You opened his mouth first: "When you were in the country of Yue, you accidentally discovered that during the battle in Yangzhou, Wang Nanming claimed that he had broken the Lost 20,000 soldiers, but actually killed 80,000 people in battle, and 10,000 people disappeared out of thin air. Before returning to the Yue Kingdom, Yu Shang Wang Nan was ordered by the sages of the Yue Kingdom to be disarmed and returned to the fields."

A few words made the atmosphere in Ten Thousand Herbs Hall suddenly solemn.

As the saying goes: Jin Juren, Silver Retire. Only a few counties can produce a Juren, and each Juren is a fool who was killed out of thousands of talented people.

Those students present who can read all the way to Juren are stupid people, what’s more, the purpose of our imperial examinations is to become an official, and the gentlemen outside the academy often tell us some current affairs of the court, so that we can analyze and write policies.

The question raised by the little prince is really strange. We all frowned deeply, showing a thoughtful expression, and the same thought came out of our hearts: Could it be that the sage of the Yue Kingdom was trying to hide the "disappearing" 10,000 Peisi, Will you order the Northern Expedition Army of Vietnam to disarm and return to the fields?

The Han Zhang case is very small, it is related to tens of thousands of lives, and it is related to our Xiaojing's face. If there is no such defeat, why should Xiaojing negotiate peace with Yue, why should he bow down to Yue, cut the sea and pay indemnity, and Sent the little prince as a proton.

For Xiaojing, it was a humiliating history!

Surely there is a well-known secret behind the koan case?

Chu You continued: "Last year, on your way back to Beijing from Yue Kingdom, you went to Tailing City in person, and found a burned battlefield in Xialing, 17 away from Tailing City. The dossier records that there was no war outside that year, and whether any of Xiaojing's soldiers and people were damaged outside."

The students who were missing    looked more solemn and solemn.

It turns out that the little prince personally went to Pei Shiyu to investigate as early as last year. Obviously, I have been preparing for the Han Zhang case for a long time, and it was not a whim.

According to the doubts mentioned by the little prince, let us believe that the 10,000 people who disappeared from Wang Nan died in Xialing.

If that was the case, even if it was a small victory, it would at most be a **** battle between the two armies.

Since Han Zhang did not have the determination to fight Wang Nan to the death, why would I surrender to the enemy? After all, I have killed so few people like Wang Nan, and it is conceivable that even if I were to go down, there would be nothing good to play.

Among the students, an old gray-clothed scholar muttered, "Could it be that the sages of the Yue Kingdom falsely blamed Han Zhang and surrendered to the enemy in order to disturb your military and people's hearts?"

The case of Han Zhang is full of doubts. If Han Zhang really did not surrender to the enemy, then I will die for the country, and I will suffer a white injustice and be cast aside by the world, and my predecessors will also be pointed out by the world, where is justice!

Whether or not my students have spoken, there is also a bit of depression on their faces.

"Four years." Chu You said quietly, "The court should give Han Zhang a fairness and a truth."

The air around    added a trace of tragic and dreary along with my words.

The Yue Junxiang in front of the counter also heard the conversation, and his fingers consciously moved the bead below the abacus under the counter, his eyes flickering.

You have thought that the little prince planned to rehabilitate Han Zhang in order to marry Gu Yanfei, and he told those students so openly.

Pei Shichang bit his upper lip slightly and looked at Chu You in despair, thinking about Yangzhou and Pei Shi outside his mind under control.

At that time, you were also in Yangzhou.

At that time, you were only eight years old. Outside of this, you met Chu Yi, who was in a weak suit. At that time, Chu Yi was seventeen years old.

Yue Juncong retracted his fingers from under the abacus, and walked towards the front hall absentmindedly. Every time he took a step, his heart twitched, and his mind was cluttered. The sound of falling leaves... all became murky.

The noise and silence in the back hall were forgotten by you, and you didn't even notice that the handkerchief in your hand fell off.

Yue Junhao got off his carriage from the front door of Wancaotang. Except for the staff in the medical hall, no one noticed your departure.

The sky was bright, and the pedestrians under the street were sparse, and the horse-drawn carriage carried Yue Junxiang all the way to Chuyi Mansion.

The entire Chu Yi Mansion was shaken by the presence of the future princess.

"嫆'er!" Gu Ce was overjoyed because of the arrival of the Yue army, and came to Liyimen to greet him in person.

Since this time, before leaving the palace to meet Mrs. Yuan, Yue Juncong said that he wants to get married, and we two have been related since then. Before that, Gu Cehou went to Gu's house in Luwei Hutong to ask for it several times, but Yue Juncong was unable to get married. All want to see me.

Now that Pei Shicong has come to the palace on his own initiative, does this mean that you are angry?

I looked at Pei Shichang tenderly and personally helped you to get on the carriage. A happy smile bloomed in the narrow eagle eyes, and even the face that was full of madness was so stern.

The pure anger beneath me, Yue Junxiang also looked out of his eyes and sighed slightly.

You have always known that Chu Yi is sincere to you, but I am Chu Yi, and we still have these open and secret battles between the majesty and the court...

Before Pei Shicong stood firm, Gu Ce coldly held your slender hand, and the two of them pressed their palms to their palms.

"Bang'er, you are right, you really thought that your mother would be like this..." Pei Shi apologized to Yue Jun again, put his posture very high, and his affectionate eyes greedily looked at your beautiful big face moving downstream.

you lost weight!

Pei Shi was very distressed, and tentatively wrapped his wishbone under your slender and graceful waist.

Yue Jun's body froze, and he wanted to break free, so he heard Gu Ce sincerely say again: "嫆'er, if the mother said those inexplicable words, he used to not leave the palace except for New Years and festivals."

"The two of you are in the palace, living your own big life, okay?"

"You will make him feel wronged!"

Mrs. Yuan must live outside the palace and will live with us.

If I can take this position in the future, my concubine is not a grand former, the emperor is the mother of the country, and a special daughter-in-law.

At the same time as I spoke, the scorching cold breath spit out on the left cheek and left ear of Yue Junkai, which made Yue Junkuang tremble.

You looked up at my handsome face, your eyes filled with tenderness, and the breath that you held back for days finally disappeared.

The Queen Mother is my biological mother after all. It is not easy for me to do that for you.

Seeing whether Yue Junxiang had broken free from himself, Gu Ce felt relieved, then he took you into his arms and put your face against my chest.

"Hey, you guys will be fine." Gu Ce said sincerely.

Pei Shicong listened to my weak heartbeat, made a high "um", and his body gradually softened.

A moment ago, Yue Juncai said: "My lord, the little prince wants to re-investigate the case of Han Zhang."

For a moment, the chest that was close to you rose and fell, and a respectful laughter emerged from the woman's narrow chest.

"Heavenly people will allow me to do that!" Gu Ce's tone was icy, and he said with certainty, "That's going against the sky."

On this day, before Tianyin Pavilion left, King Kang, the general of Jianwei, impeached the little prince and went to Youliangguan to worship Han Zhang, which shook the court.

Before   , the articles of impeachment were piled up in front of the emperor. If the emperor was weak, the prince Chu You might not have entered or exited the early dynasty sadly!

It is possible to be foolish, and that eldest son of Chu You is really foolish.

My good royal brother is so difficult to give Chu You a chance to go down to the next dynasty. It was only a few months ago that Pei Shi had to die!

Now it is the time of Enke, and the students have arrived in the capital one after another. If Pei Shi dares to try to rehabilitate Han Zhang again, these students will punish me, so Chu You will have more prestige in Shilin. said.

If Chu You lost the people's hearts, the army's hearts, and the servant's heart because of Han Zhang's case, even if I were the emperor's only son, there would be no possibility that he would be made the crown prince.

Gu Ce told you about some recent disputes in the courtroom, and said with a smile at the front: "Hey, don't worry about him, what kind of storm did Chu You raise."

"However, the students seem to be shaken..." Pei Shimao held Gu Ce's shirt behind his chest with ease, and slowly recounted the story of the Hua family, including the 10,000 people who disappeared from Wang Nan, as well as Xialing. matter.

Gu Ce's expression gradually became serious, and he frowned slightly.

It turns out that when Chu You came back from Nanyue, he disappeared along the way and went to Tailing City and Xialing... My good imperial nephew really knows how to hide!

Gu Ce's eyes were clear, and his heart was as disturbed as a cat's scratching, but he still comforted Yue Junhao in a soft and narrow voice: "Worry, it will be fine."

I let go of the Yue Juncong, took a step forward, and then gave a heavy high five.

Changsui came immediately after hearing the sound, and heard Gu Ce indifferently instructing: "Go to Wancaotang to see the situation."

"Yes, my lord." Changsui clasped his fists and hurried away.

The sky was bright at dusk, and there were not a single lantern lit in the palace, like a small piece of firefly, illuminating the entire palace.

"堆'er," Gu Ce took Pei Shicong's hand and said carelessly and tenderly, "You have recently renovated the palace, and since he is here, you can take a look at the seven places with you, and there is nothing to improve. it is good?"

I stared at the big face of Yue Juncong and asked with great heart.

It was early, and Yue Junhao wanted to leave after talking about Han Zhang, but now he has softened his heart.

You pursed your lips, pursed a pair of shallow dimples and smiled, and finally nodded: "Where is he going to take you to see?"

"He'll know when he's gone." Pei Shi took your hand and walked back.

The two went to the garden of the palace, and the garden at dusk was also not as cool as water at night.

Yue Jun has been to the palace several times since then, and he also used Gu Ce to introduce something. You can see where the garden has been renovated. There is a zigzag wisteria flower corridor missing by the conservatory, and a swing is added to an old tree. Half a lotus leaf was planted under the big lake on the northwest side of the garden, and a water pavilion was added…

Yue Junxiang can see at a glance that the renovations and repairs outside the garden are all for himself, including the new water pavilion. You never once said that the scenery at that location is very good.

Seeing Gu Ce, who had no souls to guard the house, Yue Junxiang's heart was soft and sober, he held my hand tightly, smiled and said, "You are disgusted!"

The bright smile of the subordinate looked out of Gu Ce's eyes, intriguing, and the depression in his heart was swept away.

I really wanted to express my sincerity, and Chang Sui, who went out to inquire about the news, came back in a hurry.

Chang Sui approached the two of them bravely, bowed and said: "My lord, these scholars in Wancaotang have been moved by the little prince, and now the crowd is furious, saying that they want to join hands with their classmates to jointly write a book to the emperor, and ask the little prince to reconcile When investigating this case, it is said that whether Han Zhang is meritorious or demerited should be investigated vaguely."

If a single person is folded down, no one will care at all, but it is certain that a hundred people or even fewer scholars will join together. This means the same thing, that is, united will.

Changsui's words were like a bucket of hot water being poured on his head, and the charming atmosphere between Gu Ce and Yue Junqi disappeared completely.

Gu Ce's face instantly seemed like a storm was coming, and he exuded a heavy hostility all over his body.

Surely this case will be re-examined…

"Boom!"

I raised my hand and thumped heavily under a willow tree by the lake. The willow tree with the thickness of the bowl mouth was beaten to the point of quivering, and pieces of willow leaves fell like rain...

"Your Highness!" Yue Junhan looked at my hand distressedly, and saw that my left hand was smashed by the bark of the willow tree, and some blood was leaking faintly.

Yue Junhao took out a plain white handkerchief from outside his sleeves, wiped away the dust and sawdust on my skin with great care, and looked up at me.

Gu Ce stared at the lake with a gloomy expression. The lake was shimmering with shimmering light against the backdrop of the lanterns, reflecting off my white eyes, which made me feel hot and arrogant.

Yue Junxiang looked at my profile with clear lines, and his heart felt as if it was being grabbed.

Four full years have passed since then, and even Tailing City has been rebuilt long ago. The two countries of Jing and Yue have been in difficulty and peace for four years. Why does the little prince still hold on to it or let it go?

After a long silence, Gu Cecai said sarcastically, "What a Chu You!"

"I always keep in mind the teachings of Emperor Taizu. Since there is a way to start from the court, I simply do the opposite, 'from top to bottom'."

Emperor Taizu once said: Revolution is from top to bottom, we must doubt the people and rely on the people.

That was one of the slogans of Emperor Taizu during his uprising.

The Yue Juncong took Fang Xin's handkerchief and wrapped Pei Shi's hand, "Even if the little prince wants to 'from the top down' to overturn the case for Han Zhang, the case must be placed in the court, as long as the civil and military officials approve it. , Your Majesty is just as lawful and insistent."

Yue Junxiang raised the corners of his lips meaningfully, and the lights of the lanterns reflected your eyes with brilliance, shining like stars.

The case at that time was too small.

What this case involves is only the reputation of the late emperor. After all, the little prince is too old, and he has experienced court games before he can think about things so vividly.

How difficult is it to reverse the case for Pei Shi!

Peishi understood what you meant, nodded slightly, his mood was much calmer, but his eyes were still gloomy.

"My lord, let him go. He will take care of you." Yue Junxiang said thoughtfully.

"..." Gu Ce held your hand with a hesitant look on his face, and he had to look away from you.

嫆 Er, it was difficult to forgive me, I really want to leave you alone...

seemed to see what I was thinking, and the military officer Yue said again: "You walk around outside the palace and wait for him to come back."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Shi's eyes lit up instantly, and Xiao Xi said, "Hey, you'll be back soon."

"He's out there, it's not his home."

"This side of Reed Hutong, you will send someone to speak."

Before    warned him, Gu Ce ordered a servant to treat Pei Shichang well, and hurried out the door.

The little prince's every move was in the spotlight.

On that day, the people first, then the officialdom, the entire capital was shaken by the little prince's remarks.

That night, Xiao Shoufu and Jianwei General Kang Wang had withdrawn from the palace to ask to see the emperor.

Pei Shi lifted his robes, knelt down in the south study, and shouted angrily:

"Your Majesty, restarting the Han Zhang case is actually a perverted move, absolutely possible!"

"Han Zhang surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country, bringing disaster to the country and the people, and the anger of the sky and the resentment of the people.

"If Pei Shi can reverse the case, how can we be worthy of the 100,000 soldiers and people who died in Yangzhou? How can we rest in peace on the four springs! How can our family members be comforted!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became. At the very front, the voice seemed to roar from his chest, and even the surrounding air was shaken.

Thinking of the old general Zhao who died in Yangzhou, King Kang was even more heartbroken, his eyes were red, and his eyes were almost split.

prepares the generals to be mentally prepared to die in battle every time they go to the battlefield. However, we cannot die heroically in the sword fight on the battlefield, but we should die because our own side surrenders to the enemy, which is a kind of humiliation.
