Chapter 331: The Evidence Is Conclusive
The people of the border city told Duan Bailan with practical actions:
We believe in you.
This kind of behavior is very heartwarming. Especially for Duan Bailan at this moment.
And this has never happened in history.
Duan Bailan remembered that there was also a general in the previous dynasty, who was a master of high merit, and the emperor wanted to get rid of him.
I don't know who came up with such an idea. So the message was fabricated.
When these rumors reached the city he guarded, the people were naturally divided into two camps, each believing in him and the other not believing in him.
But those who believe in him just talk about believing it, and don't do anything about it, at most they just don't come to sabotage.
But those who did not believe him, they organized this series of activities to resist the general, who got out of the city he was guarding.
This was undoubtedly a very big blow to the general, who went into battle every day to kill the enemy in the face of the insults of the people.
However, the most terrible situation came when the general's plan was known to a citizen who did not believe him.
The people organized it, and the people who did not believe in the general should cooperate with the enemy army, and in the end the general hated the battlefield.
What a tragic ending.
Duan Bailan thought it was ...... These people from the Frontier City also came to question him today and wanted to blast him out of the Frontier City, but they didn't expect it...... This would be the case.
"Thank you." When Duan Bailan said these four words, her voice was a little choked.
This man who galloped on the battlefield didn't know what to say when faced with such a situation, only these four words to express his own thoughts.
"Lord Duan, there is nothing we can do, I came to tell you today, I hope you don't feel sad because of those rumors outside, we all know how hard you have worked for Frontier City, you can rest assured, the people of Frontier City are grateful for their kindness, and they will definitely not do anything to stab a knife in the back."
The people are talking nonsense, but in summary, this is what it means.
Liu Nianru looked at Duan Bailan like this and smiled.
"Thank you, thank you......" Except for thank you, Duan Bailan couldn't find any other words to describe his mood at the moment.
The people looked at this man with smiles on their lips.
"Lord Duan, don't be polite, we just hope that the Northern Army can kill the enemy with peace of mind." A common man scratched his head, and his honest appearance was very cute.
……
Duan Bailan chatted a lot with these people again, although with Duan Bailan's current state, he couldn't say anything.
After sending the people away, the two walked back again.
"Well, I'll just say they're here to comfort you." Liu Nianru joked to Duan Bailan.
"Yes, yes, my Ru'er is the smartest." Duan Bailan had also recovered from the state she had just had.
That's a lot of fun.
……
Capital.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has found a witness." It's another morning day, and Cheng is facing the first road.
"Bring the witnesses in." The emperor's majestic speech, without a trace of joy and sorrow, could not hear any of his feelings.
"Yes." Cheng responded, and a guard outside the door led a man in.
"This person's name is Aman, he is a barbarian, and he was in charge of helping the barbarian king deliver a letter to Duan Bailan before." The prime minister introduced.
"Aman, you tell the truth." The emperor frowned and looked at the Gentiles.
"Yes." Aman's voice trembled a little, as if he was startled by the emperor's voice.
Ah Man timidly glanced at the prime minister, but the prime minister did not squint, and did not look at Ah Man at all.
Ah Man pursed his lips and said, "Ah Man was originally a person from the king's side, and he was sent by the king two years ago, mainly responsible for sending letters and transmitting information to Duan Bailan, and this battle was also discussed between Duan Bailan and our king. ”
Aman's voice was very soft, but it was enough for everyone to hear clearly in this hall.
"The barbarians pretended to retreat, the two sides had their own dealings, and in the end, the barbarians wanted to raise troops to attack each other while Da'an was celebrating."
"At that time, Duan Bailan had already promised our king that he would open up a safe passage and let our barbarian army go straight to the Yellow Dragon."
Listening to Ah Man's words, everyone's expressions were different.
After Ah Man finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of the prime minister again, and saw the corners of the prime minister's mouth hooked, so he withdrew his gaze.
"Aman, do you know what the crime of bullying the king is?" The emperor said this faintly.
Ah Man immediately knelt down, and his body even trembled a little, "Your Majesty Mingjian, what Ah Man said is the truth, and I ask Your Majesty to spare Ah Man's life." ”
"Okay." The emperor said, and then someone took Ah Man down.
"Your Majesty, now that the evidence is conclusive, the minister asks Your Majesty to issue a decree to declare the sins of the king of the world, and send troops to arrest the king." The prime minister stood up again and said to the emperor.
"This is the king! Eat inside and out! The Emperor's voice sounded angry, but if anyone could look directly into His Majesty's eyes through the beaded curtains, they would find a hint of joy in the depths of those eyes.
"Xiao Heng, I sent you to the northeast to arrest King Ding! If you disobey, you will be killed! After the emperor finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left the main hall, leaving a place where the courtiers looked at each other.
His Majesty the Emperor was furious...... At least on the surface, that's what it looks like.
"Son's Honor." Xiao Heng bowed to the emperor's back, and when he straightened up again, the corners of his mouth raised betrayed his mood.
Xiao Heng didn't care about anything else, and then left the hall.
The rest of the ministers, look at me, and I look at you, but one thing is already clear in their hearts.
That is, the king is finished.
The ministers of the Dingwang faction must go back and think carefully about whether they still swear to follow this master to the death, or whether they should hurry up and express their sincerity to the current emperor.
On this day, Jingshi is destined to be unpeaceful.
When the notice was posted on the notice board by the officials, all the people who watched the notice had mixed feelings.
Some people didn't believe Duan Bailan from the beginning,
So at this time they said, "Well, I'll just say, King Ding is definitely not a good man, collaborating with the enemy and treason!" ”
The person who had been swaying in the middle before also fell over there when he saw this telling.
As for those who believed in Duan Bailan, their feelings were extremely complicated, and the notice had been posted, and there was also the seal of the Criminal Department on it, proving that the evidence of this matter was conclusive.
Should they still believe what they originally believed?
Moreover, the emperor was furious, and the news that he sent the seventh prince Xiao Heng to the northeast to arrest Duan Bailan also spread, which made some people confirm Duan Bailan's accusation of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
