The Northern King's confinement is just an introduction, and what they say below is the point. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoTwo months ago, the emperor received a real-name report with a letter of collaborating with the enemy, saying that the Ye family, the general of the border and the pillar of the country, collaborated with the enemy and wanted to rebel! So the emperor lifted the ban of the king of the north and ordered him to bring heavy troops to arrest the Ye family as soon as possible.

When the Northern King went with heavy troops, the Ye family had already received the news in advance, and they could completely defend Shangyang City and fight to the death. Including the eldest son Ye Yan, and several generals who were born and died with him all advocated the opposite. They unanimously agreed that the current emperor's methods are decisive and ruthless, and the Ye family is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious. Behind this groundless frame, there must be a trick that makes them unable to turn over.

However, Ye Dingxi was foolish and loyal, coupled with his cousin Ye Dingsheng, tried his best to dissuade him, handed over the military power, and waited for the court to hear and wash away the grievances. After thinking about it again and again, Ye Dingxi decided that the Ye family had followed its iron-blooded battlefield since the time of Taizu, and had assisted three generations of emperors so far, and the name he had earned in exchange for his life must not be destroyed in his own hands, and the most important thing was that he was convinced that the emperor would return his Ye family's innocence, so he ordered the Ye family not to resist, and he was captured.

When raiding the Ye family, an amazing scene happened. In the granary and storage room of the Ye family and the Ye family grange, more than 200,000 taels of gold and silver were actually seized, some of these precious metals were neatly stacked in the granary in sacks together with the moldy grain, and some were sealed in the wine jar and placed in the storeroom.

The Ye family, which has been loyal for generations, was completely ruined overnight. The people who didn't know the truth were excited, and the spittle stars spewed out a meter away, saying that the Ye family was a wolf in sheep's clothing, loyal on the surface, but indeed so treacherous on the inside, and public opinion was boiling for a while.

Faced with such a situation, Ye Dingxi was completely stunned. The granary should be those old moldy and inedible military food, this year the imperial court sent new grain, these moldy grain has nowhere to store, Ye Dingxi felt that it was a pity to throw away these moldy grain to let people transfer these moldy grain to the granary of the house and the grange, and he also let the people buy a lot of chickens and ducks, and engaged in poultry breeding in the house and the grange. At one time, chickens and ducks were flying all over the general's mansion, and the backyard women who had made trouble complained about this matter.

And those jars of wine with gold and silver were supposed to contain good wine, which he bought at his own expense to reward these soldiers who worked the frontier. Ye Dingxi knew that he had been framed, and he thought that the person in charge of these two things was his cousin Ye Dingsheng, but he never believed that his cousin would frame him.

He began to hope that one of the military departments, the criminal department, and the military prison could find out the suspicions and find out the truth, and hoped that the Ye family's military functions would make the emperor believe in his loyalty. As a result, in addition to severely interrogating them, these three divisions had no intention of overturning the case for them. The torture that should have been carried out was all carried out, and two relatives could not bear it and were induced to confess.

At the time of the imperial trial, Ye Dingxi's cousin Ye Dingsheng testified in court that he had deducted military salaries to enrich his own pockets, accepted bribes, promoted generals in violation of regulations, and betrayed his official positions in the army.

Ye Dingxi did not admit it, shouted injustice to the emperor, and the emperor threw two confessions from the emperor and a letter of rebellion written by Tolun, the prince of the Tutuo tribe, on his face. said angrily, "The handwriting has been experienced, and it is indeed written by Toruń, so you don't have to shout injustice." After Ye Dingxi read the letter, he almost collapsed, only feeling that the blood was rushing to his head and he couldn't see.

The content of the letter is that Toren Xu asked Ye Dingxi to rebel with his power and profit, and surrendered to Cheng Tuo. Exactly the same handwriting, exactly the same content, but this letter has obviously been burned by Ye Dingxi himself. In terms of his loyalty to the king, when he received this letter, he should report it to the imperial court.

At that time, it was Ye Dingsheng who told him that emperors had been suspicious since ancient times, especially in things like rebellion and collaborating with the enemy. If this letter is known to the emperor, he is afraid that it will cause trouble for no reason, and it is better to destroy it, as if he has never seen it.

Ye Dingxi felt that what he said was very reasonable, anyway, he had no objection, and it was cleaner if he hadn't seen it. The letter was burned.

In the face of Ye Dingsheng's accusation, Ye Dingxi didn't say anything, just let out a burst of wild laughter. I only blamed myself for being too gullible about this cousin, and I was too kind to him, so I was bitten.

At the end of the imperial trial, the emperor looked at Ye Dingxi coldly and said, The court favors your Ye family with honor, you have such wolf ambitions to subvert my world, it is really not a pity that the five horses are divided. After that, he shook his sleeves and left.

At this point, the facts have become clear, this is a death case, a death case that cannot be reversed.

Before the emperor issued an edict to pronounce the verdict, the king of the north went to the emperor, and he did not find loopholes in the existing evidence, but said to the emperor that if the Ye family really collaborated with the enemy and rebelled, why didn't the ministers go to Shangyang and fight against the water?

Indeed, judging from the facts, the Ye family did not rebel, but Tolun asked him to rebel in his letter.

"What about the withholding of military salaries, embezzlement and bribery, and buying officials? The real money was found by your people from his house. Don't tell me that it's a frame-up, look at this, the piles are all covered with his big seal. The emperor said that he was angry and threw a few ledgers to the king of the north. The ledger hit the body of the king of the north and finally fell to the ground.

King Bei silently bent down and picked up the account book, sorted it out neatly, and then put it on the imperial case respectfully, and then said, "The Ye family has followed my Dongfang clan since Taizu started the incident, and since Taizu succeeded, he went to guard Beiguan. So far, I have assisted three generations of monarchs, more than 100 years. May I ask the emperor, in the past 100 years, has the Ye family allowed the Tartars to cross the Beiguan by one step? Has there been a division or a department that has done anything that violates the law and discipline of the Ye family? Has the Ye family managed the army, but has it allowed the soldiers on the border to have insufficient food and clothing? But has any officer had no military merits and was paid nothing? Did these situations have occurred during Ye Dingxi's administration of the army?

No, indeed not, the emperor was stunned at once, and he held his breath in his heart but did not refute it wordlessly.

King Bei continued, "What the minister said above is not to exonerate Ye Dingxi, but the minister feels that if Beiguan is in chaos, the emperor will take out more than the 200,000 taels of gold and silver that Ye Dingxi greedily greedily. The Ye family's military exploits are enough to offset Ye Dingxi's mistakes, and the people involved in the Ye family can be sentenced heavily, but they will never die. ”

Every sentence is reasonable, and the emperor listens to the words of the king of the north. He summoned the military department, the official department, and the military superintendent, and asked if there were any military attachés in the court who could not recruit good soldiers. Since Taizu became emperor, what he admired was the policy of Shangwen, and the military attache became a trend of weakening year by year. This is to say that there are many military attaches who can fight, but there are many military attaches in the court, but those who can go to the battlefield to take charge of the handsome seal, they counted and eliminated a few generals who guarded the border pass, and finally there was only the king of the north.

The king of the north is responsible for the security of the imperial capital, and he can't move the place. The emperor began to think to himself, the Ye family is like the door god posted on the gate of Beiguan, the demon imp or something depends on them to control, if something happens to the Ye family, Beiguan will indeed be chaotic, and this aftermath is really a headache. Besides, this Ye family is indeed a talented general......

It is really sad that the country is so uneasy, but the court does not have a military general who can take responsibility......

In reality, the emperor had to rethink what to do with the Ye family. It is impossible to kill, and Beiguan still depends on the Ye family, but corruption and bribery, and military salary deduction must be severely punished. In addition, the shortage of military generals in the DPRK and China must be resolved, and the rectification of military discipline is a major matter that brooks no delay.

The emperor followed the three ministers to discuss in the Taihe Hall until dark, and due to the great pressure, the emperor had no appetite, and the three ministers also went hungry together. It was not until the general plan was discussed that the three of them were sent back to the house to work out the details.

At this time, the Ye family can be regarded as changing from dead to alive.

After the ministers left, Rong Lu reminded the emperor, "Your Majesty, I am going to the queen's palace today, and the people in the queen's palace have been here several times." ”

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the emperor wants to go to the empress to rest, this is the rule. The emperor looked up and saw the moonlight coming in outside, and said directly to Rong Lu, "You go and tell the queen that I have to deal with government affairs in the Taihe Hall today, so I won't go to her." ”

Rong Lu went, the emperor lowered his head, glanced at the small and delicate white porcelain jar on the case, stretched his eyebrows, and got up to go to Zhaohua Palace.

The emperor's departure changed the fate of the Ye family, and the Ye family changed from life to death, completely dead.
