Chapter 1047: Intercession
The old man's sentences mean something, and this last sentence is even more important at this moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The patriarchs who were crying in front of the emperor and the cabinet ministers yesterday and handed over the blood letter demanding that the emperor return justice to the world were stopped by Old Man Guo's loud shouting, and they suddenly became on pins and needles.
They also realized that something was wrong, and suddenly they felt like they were being led by the nose. At this moment, their hearts were weak, and they began to fear that the emperor would not send down the wrath of thunder because they slandered the important officials of the court.
And Old Man Guo was still talking endlessly, walking towards the patriarchs.
Saliva flew, but several patriarchs forgot to wipe it.
"If you get rid of these patriarchs, the dragons of each family have no leader, wouldn't it be more convenient to rob and kill?
Hmph! There is only one possibility! They needed these patriarchs, so they left them dead. They need a few people to come out to 'uphold justice,' to ask for explanations, to fan the flames, and to come out and criticize the imperial court! They want to sow discord between the imperial court and the people! They are wolf ambitions! It is your kindness and integrity that they want to take advantage of!"
Lao Guo Tou had already walked in front of several trembling old men, and knocked the stick on the ground in anger.
He secretly thought in his heart, Lao Chen's choice of the stick today is really good! The sound of knocking it out is loud, hitting the heart directly, and making people unconsciously confused.
Sure enough, a patriarch surnamed Wang began to burst into tears, obviously touched.
"Yes...... That's right! At that time, my four sons, three daughters-in-law, and grandchildren all died in front of me, and I closed my eyes, but I didn't wait for the cold knife. When I opened my eyes again, I saw the barbarian smiling at me, he didn't kill me on purpose, he did!
Lao Guo Tou handed over the handkerchief very intimately, said "festival condolences", and sighed.
The royal patriarch wiped his tears and pulled a few people around him, and whispered, "We, are we fooled?"
"Then from General Guo's point of view, what's the fuss here?"
As soon as the emperor's words came out, many deaf courtiers looked at the Marquis of Yongning with some pity or ridicule.
This means, as Cui Shizi said, this matter is at most a manslaughter caused by being framed, and there is absolutely nothing else!
This is also destined to be empty no matter how Cui Chunlin's abacus is played!
"The old minister has some opinions, and I hope you will listen to them! Let's analyze them together! See what the possibilities are!
Lao Chen's opinion: The biggest possibility is that someone deliberately led the northern army and the southern army to that place at the same time through barbarians, wanting to borrow a knife to kill people with the hands of the northern army!
Otherwise, how can we explain that the prince of Pingnan who died in the battle? The people who marched and fought knew that if 5,000 people wanted to go all out to protect the prince to break through the siege, it would not be difficult, right? Why was the combat effectiveness of the southern army so weak? It would be strange if there were no ghosts here!
In the final analysis, I'm afraid that someone is playing the trick of killing two birds with one stone. First, we got rid of the prince of Pingnan, and secondly, we ruined the reputation of our court, wanted to provoke the hatred of the local people, and wanted to cause contradictions between us, the southern army, and the people!
In fact, it is not or not, just find the local barbarians for a trial, and it will naturally come out!"
The old man quietly cast his gaze on Elder Han Ge.
Elder Han Ge understood, and immediately stepped forward to say that he had caught a few barbarians on his trip to the south, and he could bring the first trial.
A quarter of an hour later, the man was brought in, and everyone saw that it was really an out-and-out barbarian.
It turned out that Old Man Guo, who couldn't swallow the tone that the Northern Army was framed that day, had already placed a lot of his own people mixed in the team led by Han Ge Lao who went to northern Shu to pacify the people.
After arriving at the place, his men searched for three days, and finally found a barbarian stockade in the mountains. It's not easy to go straight to the lair, but it's easy to catch a few lone barbarians.
At this moment, these people in the temple are the barbarians they have "trained".
As soon as these people came up, they were recruited, and it was frankly that someone had given them the benefits of the patriarch, as long as they led the northern army to the mountains, they didn't care about how the northern army and the southern army would do it, they just needed to go to the town not far away to burn and plunder as they wanted!
But those barbarians explained again and again, in fact, they didn't burn them, they just grabbed things and ran, and they didn't know why they ended up with corpses all over the field, countless dead and wounded, and rivers of blood......
The confessions of these individuals are extremely important, but they are half-truths and half-truths, and there are no obvious loopholes. However, the effect is obvious, with the foreshadowing foreshadowing, most people already have their own judgment in their hearts.
Old man Guo knocked on the ground with a stick.
"Isn't this just borrowing a knife to kill people? Some people want to kill the prince of Pingnan, and some people want to claim the king and hegemony in the south, but they borrow our hands! After provoking a deep blood feud between us and the barbarians, and between us and the people, he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight......
The old man was filled with righteous indignation, and did not name names, but even several patriarchs could hear the direction of his words.
The patriarchs' faces were like ashes, and they personally stepped forward to ask Cui Yiheng, and then interrogated the barbarians, and then they sat down on the ground and gritted their teeth......
The barbarians are hateful, but there's no reason to burn down their entire town!
At this moment, when I thought of the 100,000 southern troops who had been entrenched in northern Shu at that time, I took a seat in my heart and shifted the culprit of murder and arson to them! Apart from them, who else has this ability? Has this speed?
These people are clearly the victims of the power struggle!
In this situation, the spearhead has changed, and they naturally have long lost the mind to hold Cui Yiheng and his party accountable to the emperor.
Also gritting his teeth is Cui Chunlin.
How can this style of painting change when it changes? The son has clear and conclusive evidence, and he is about to be knocked down by himself, why does it seem that the crime is getting lighter and lighter?
In this way, it went through several rounds of inquiry, argumentation, rebuttal, and verification......
Lao Guo Tou also took out a letter of guarantee from the people and prominent clans in the north for Cui Yiheng's character, begging the emperor to give General Cui a lenient sentence.
Even if the ministers didn't have what they had just done, they all saw the emperor's attitude, and naturally responded to the call at this moment, and knelt down to ask General Cui for mercy.
On the contrary, Cui Chunlin, who had always stood in the front row, was stunned in place, kneeling or begging, looking so unique and contemptible.
In the end, in the strange and questioning eyes of everyone, he could only kneel down with the crowd and plead together, but the reluctance on his face could be understood by anyone.
Guo Lao, Chen Lao and the others glanced at each other, and the result at this moment is already very good!
The emperor was also satisfied.
At least for the time being, most of the responsibility was put back on the Southern Army and Zhu Jingchi. As long as everything is done well, after these respected patriarchs return to the local area, this incident can be temporarily over.
Cui Yiheng only needs to take the responsibility of "carelessly" and "causing trouble".
