126 Facts
Chi Yu said that he could do his best, maybe he could help Qin Mu achieve his wish and clear Yue Lan's name.
Chi Yu is the prince of Guyu, and Yue Lan's treason was determined by Emperor Jianhe, how could he help more than ten years ago?
Seeing that everyone was surprised, Chi Yu planned to tell the truth and what he knew, Chi Yu asked Qin Mu, "How did your court convict this general back then?" β
Qin Mu recalled the past, and still had residual anger, "They said that there are letters between the eldest brother and the Hungrong royal family as evidence, and those letters, word by word, are all plotting treason, saying that if the eldest brother is willing to submit to Hun Rong, Hu Rong will give him a throne ......"
Chi Yu laughed, as if he had heard an extremely ridiculous joke, shook his head and said, "Not to mention your subjects, even we Guyu people will not believe this statement." In the past, Yue Lan repeatedly conquered the western border, how many of them killed them? β
Qin Mu blurted out without hesitation, "The eldest brother and I have gone on four expeditions together, and the eldest brother has gone on four expeditions alone, and a total of 100,000 Huns have been wiped out in the past ten years. β
Qin Yuan and Yu Duo, who were listening, were shocked, Qin Yuan also admired Yue Lan's uncle when he was young, and when he heard about his exploits at this time, he was still deeply shocked; And Yu Duo was the first time to hear that her mother's benefactor turned out to be such a powerful figure, and she instantly understood where Yue Lan's name of "God of War" came from.
Chi Yu took Qin Mu's words and nodded: "For Hun Rong, he is a figure comparable to the god of death, even I, an outsider, know that Hu Rong Khan hates him to the bone, how can I make him the vassal king of Hu Rong?" β
Qin Mu sneered, "No one in the world will believe it, but our first emperor will believe it!" It is said that those letterheads have the golden seal of the Hun Rong Khan as proof, Qin of course believes in the eldest brother's personality, but he has always been puzzled, saying that the handwriting can be forged, but where does the golden seal come from? People who have never seen this kind of thing can't easily reproduce it, and if they want to come to the entire Great Qi, only the first emperor has seen the golden seal, but didn't even he recognize it as a forgery? β
Chi Yu easily solved his confusion, "Because the gold seal is true, your first emperor naturally did not distinguish that those letters were indeed written by the Hun Rong royal family, but the person who corresponded with him was not Yue Lan, but another general in your court." β
As soon as these words came out, Qin Mu and Qin Yuan almost said a name in unison.
"Xu Jilin?"
Chi Yu nodded, "Yes, exactly." β
Yu Duo, who didn't know the old grievances in this, was a little surprised, and asked, "How can Daddy know this?" β
Chi Yu looked at his beloved daughter and sighed, "Back then, Hun Rong was arrogant, in order to make me solid and subservient, he forcibly brought me back to their royal capital, and to put it nicely, I was invited to be a guest, but in fact I was a hostage...... However, although I have been detained for a few years, I have made a friend, and the fourth prince of the former Hungarian royal family has a lot to do with me, and I also know these inside stories from him. β
"Then since you are friends with their prince, why have we been under house arrest in Qinan for so long?" Yu Duo was even more puzzled.
Chi Yu sighed, "Holding us is holding Guyu, do you think Hurong will let us go back easily?" What's more, this old friend of mine is long gone! When the old Khan of Hun Rong died, the princes below competed for the throne, the power of the four princes was not strong, and they were defeated early, how could they have a way to live? Not only him, but also several of his children did not survive! β
The cruelty of the power struggle was far beyond the imagination of the daughter's family, and Yu Duo fell silent.
The daughter no longer interrupted, Chi Yu continued to tell Qin Mu what he knew, "Ujitu for his son, lost a city in Daqi, Hurong Khan was furious when he found out, and at this time he received a secret letter from Xu Jilin, the other party has removed Yue Lan as a condition, and asked him to connect with the Hun Rong royal family, Wu Jitu is eager to make up for it, and the Hun Rong royal family is also suffering from Yue Lan's prestige, several people hit it off, Hun Rong Khan wrote a few letters pretending to conspire with Yue Lan, and handed them over to Xu Jilin, so that they can be falsely accused and framed in front of your ancestors. β
At this point, it can already be discussed, Qin Mu's father and son both sighed for this past, and after listening to the story, Yu Duo asked her father again, "Since you already knew it, why didn't you say it before?" β
Her father was helpless. Once upon a time? In the past, he was just a hostage under house arrest, and he couldn't even take care of his family, so how could he have the heart to think about other people's affairs? What's more, because he has no friendship with Qi Ren, Mo said that he can't pass on these messages at all, even if he has, why bother with these idle things?
If it weren't for Qin Yuan's sudden arrival today, letting him know that his benefactor Qin Mu had a great friendship with Yue Lan, he probably wouldn't have mentioned this matter.
Telling what he knew, Chi Yu sighed, "In fact, these things are not without flaws, if your emperor had the heart to investigate, he could always find out the truth, but this general was still killed, it can be seen that your emperor himself does not want to believe him." β
"Your Highness is right." Qin Mu sighed and said, "In the past, the eldest brother made many military exploits and attracted the love of the people, but the eldest brother has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and he does not like the affairs of the DPRK and the Chinese party. Such indifference fell in the eyes of the first emperor, but it became slackness, coupled with the malicious framing of traitors, which led to the separation of monarchs and ministers, and finally made the loyal bones unjustly cast a name for so many years...... Otherwise, if the eldest brother is still alive, what a good family it should be, and it will not be now, and the Yue family will have no queen......"
Hearing this, Yu Duo was shocked and asked, "Doesn't he have a family?" Did your old emperor even kill his family? β
Recalling what happened to the eldest brother's family, Qin Mu was extremely excited, and it was difficult to speak for a while, Qin Yuan saw this and replied instead, "I heard that General Yue Lan's family was on vacation in his hometown back then, and Xu Jilin led troops to arrest him, but he was resisted, and under the fight of the two parties, no one in the Yue family survived. β
"Fighting?" Qin Mu forcibly suppressed anger and sneered, "The eldest brother is loyal and righteous in his life, if Xu Jilin really just goes to get people, he will never resist the decree and disrespect, he has a wife and children, and the eldest sister-in-law still has unborn children in her womb, he is an orphan, and he pays the most attention to family affection in his life, will he put his wife and children and family in danger?" There must have been someone who didn't intend to leave a way for their family to survive in the first place. β
"His wife, who was pregnant with a child, was also killed? His children were also killed? It was the first time Yu Duo heard such a tragic thing, especially since that person was still the benefactor of her mother, she was incredulous and extremely angry, "What kind of hatred does this bad guy have with him, why is he so cruel?" β
Chi Yu patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "Child, throughout the ages, hatred has mostly been buried because of desire, both of them are generals who hold military power, and desire must arise because of power." β
Qin Mu smiled bitterly and added, "Not only power, but also the prestige and support of the people, and even ...... Woman. The eldest brother's virtuous wife is a beauty, Xu Jilin can't ask for it and hates it, now that he thinks about it, what the eldest brother has is what he wants but can't get, their Xu clan has always been known for tyranny, and it is not surprising that he did this kind of thing under jealousy. β
Yu Duo's eyes darkened, and he shook the dagger in his hand, sad for the family in the story, and disappointed that he could no longer fulfill his mother's wishes.
However, for Qin Mu, the long-cherished wish of many years saw hope, and he did not indulge in the painful memories much, and solemnly said to Chi Yu: "There is a reluctant request ...... below."
Chi Yu understood what he was going to say, and he responded without waiting for him to finish, "If there is no Hou Ye and the general, we may still be in the hands of Hun Rong now, and we may be free again in my life, so no matter how big the difficulties of Hou Ye are, I Chi Yu will try my best to help, but ......"
As soon as his voice stopped, the other three were puzzled, only to see Chi Yu hesitate slightly, and asked Qin Mu, "It's just that this was set by your first emperor, and the general's rebellion is a big crime, Lord Hou, please forgive me, even if you want to overturn the case, you have to see if the current emperor is willing to retry it!" After all, it is about the name of his father, you Han people often say that the deceased is respected, is he willing to refute his father, and justify the name of a general who has no descendants? β
Chi Yu's concerns are reasonable, but for Qin Mu, no matter how difficult things are, as long as there is hope, it is impossible for him to give up, he has been looking forward to and working hard for so many years, now that he has a witness, and there is hope of committing a crime for Yue Lan, will he give up because of a little concern?
What's more, in his opinion, the current emperor Song Chen has already strengthened Emperor Jianhe a lot, he is very good at using people to recognize people, and he is also very fair, Qin Mu feels hopeful.
Qin Mu said to Chi Yu, "Your Highness, rest assured, my current Son of Heaven is a wise monarch, if the conclusive evidence is placed in front of him, I believe that he will not be indifferent." Besides, no matter how difficult it is, I want to give it a try. If nothing else, I should also do the swords and arrows that my eldest brother blocked for me when I went to the battlefield at the beginning of the year. β
Chi Yu nodded, "That's it!" Since the Hou Ye has confidence, borrowing the words of your Han people, I also sacrifice my life to accompany the hero, I can testify for you at any time, although we Guyu people do not have your Confucian and Mencian ways, but they are also the most faithful, and I will never break my word. β
"His Royal Highness's great kindness is in his heart, and he will do his best to repay it every day."
Qin Mu got up and bowed to Chi Yushen, and was hurriedly picked up by Chi Yu.
Because the overturning of the case involved a lot, hope was close at hand, Qin Mu didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly said goodbye to Chi Yu, and went to Chu Mansion with Qin Yuan. This matter, the Chu Mansion naturally wants to know, besides, they are Yue Lan's in-laws, after the evidence is collected, who to send to sue the royal court in the Jinluan Palace, we have to discuss it carefully.
Because of today's rest, Chu Lin and Chu Jian were at home, and after Qin Mu's father and son arrived, the four of them talked secretly for a long time, and finally came up with an idea.
It is not trivial to overturn the case, and besides, it is still a shocking case decided by the first emperor, and they must make sure that the evidence is conclusive and foolproof, otherwise if it is not successful, the crime of false accusation is also not trivial.
Although those things have been a long time ago, fortunately, in addition to the two of them, there are still many old people of the Yue family, like Yue Cheng, they are scattered everywhere, but they are all in some key positions, such as the military department, such as Xu Jilin's subordinates......
Now, it's time to bring them all together.
Sure enough, when the news of the reversal of the case for the Yue family was secretly disseminated, things went very smoothly, within ten days, they had already read the files that were now being archived by the Criminal Department and the Military Department, not only found the veterans who had served under Yue Lan in the past, the officials of Sand Castle City back then, and even the person who forged Yue Lan's handwriting also had eyebrows, although that person was killed by Xu Jilin afterwards, his family survived, and they were willing to come out to testify for their own revenge......
Everything is in place, only the east wind is missing.
It's just that this east wind still needs to be considered.
Chi Yu came to the envoy this time, and he stayed for more than a month at most, and when the envoys of the rest of the states retired, they should also set off, so without further ado, the royal complaint must be as soon as possible.
In addition, there are also some objections about who stood up to cry out for the Yue family. It stands to reason that the Chu family is the in-laws of the Yue family, and it is understandable for them to stand up, but the Chu family is a civilian official, and this matter is related to the war, so it seems more appropriate for Anxi Hou Qin Mu, who is familiar with Hurong, to stand up.
Qin Mu and Chu Lin had always been of the same opinion before, but at this point, they became arguing. Both sides want to stand up on their own, in fact, except for the heart of the Yue family, who would not know that this matter is a huge risk, if Song Chen deliberately suppresses this matter in order to defend the first emperor, then this matter will still not be successful, and the person who comes out to sue the emperor will really bear the charge of false accusation.
After all, nominally speaking, the Yue family has no queen, even if this matter is unfair, it seems to be irrelevant to Song Chen, the first emperor and he are biological father and son, what is the Yue family? What kind of power will Song Chen be willing to deny his father?
Qin Mu and Chu Lin couldn't figure out a result, and in the end, both sides compromised, each made a move, and agreed that Qin Mu would come forward first, and Chu Lin would stand up and second. Although in this case, if the king opens his mouth to allow a review, then Chu Lin, who is the imperial history of the capital, will have to avoid this matter, but fortunately, there is no dissident of Chu Lin in the imperial court, but most of them are his protΓ©gΓ©s, so it doesn't matter whether he avoids suspicion or not.
What's more, regarding this matter, Xu Jilin's biggest accomplice, Zhao Xuan, has been imprisoned for investigation because of his case, as long as this matter begins, are you still worried that you won't get anything useful from his mouth?
So, in other words, as long as the king can make up his mind to investigate, he will definitely be able to overturn the case.
