Chapter 1503: The Truth Is So
What frightened Sun Wanchun was not only the secret situation about this section of the Northwest Army in Guo Xu's confession, but also the truth about Guo Xu's seizure of the throne that has always been widely discussed.
After Guo Xu was kidnapped by the Luoyan Army, he still had illusions, he hoped to win Lin Jue's forgiveness and get the support of the Luoyanjun to make a comeback. So, he showed an extremely frank attitude. This confession is written by Guo Xu in this situation, Guo Xu wants to use this confession as a statement to impress Lin Jue, and he wrote all the things in the year on this confession without any reservations. Guo Xu's idea was to deliberately use this confession as a handle to send it to Lin Jue, so as to dispel Lin Jue's doubts, so as not to make Lin Jue think that he was just forced to temporarily compromise the situation and settle accounts in the future. By handing over his most secret handle to Lin Jue, Lin Jue didn't have to worry about what would happen in the future.
Some people may think that Guo Xu is extremely naΓ―ve to do this. But in fact, when he fell into the hands of the Fallen Goose Army, he had no choice. He was certainly aware of the extreme danger he was in. Not to mention anything else, he knew that Guo Kun would definitely refuse to let him go, because Guo Kun would definitely want to kill himself and replace him. So what he could do was to enlist Lin Jue's support, which was the only choice he could make in a desperate situation. As for Lin Jue, Guo Xu believes that although he had a holiday with him before, he did not cause him substantial harm after all, and there was no substantive entanglement of interests between the two. Fang Dunru's death may be one of the reasons why Lin Jue can't forgive himself, but Fang Dunru's death only played some role, not the mastermind. Moreover, the relationship between Fang Dunru and Lin Jue is only a relationship between a teacher and a student, not a real blood relative, so this grievance should not be irreconcilable.
As for Concubine Rong's death, Guo Xu didn't think that Lin Jue would be more serious about himself for her. Lu Wu and Concubine Rong have been separated for many years, and the relationship between mother and daughter has long been very dull. Lin Jue and Concubine Rong have nothing to do with each other, can they still cling to this matter?
It is precisely because of this thought, holding the last glimmer of hope, that Guo Xu confessed many sensitive things in his confession. This includes what he did when he first seized the throne. killed the crown prince Guo Mian and forced his father Guo Chong to abdicate, causing Guo Chong's illness to worsen and die. And what the bloodbathed harem did. Of course, Guo Xu did not forget to blame these actions on Lu Zhongtian's instigation and put the responsibility on Lu Zhongtian. And in the confession, he revealed a lot of Lu Zhongtian's plots, courtiers, and various conspiracies secretly operated for himself to become the crown prince. Naturally, this is to try to alleviate his crimes, and at the same time, it is also to take revenge on Lu Zhongtian, so that Lin Jue can transfer their hatred to Lu Zhongtian.
The content of such a confession is now seen by Sun Wanchun from beginning to end, which is not only shocking, but also solves many questions in his heart. It turned out that the rumors that Guo Xu usurped the throne and killed the prince and washed the harem in bloodied were all facts, and there was originally a consensus in the Northwest Army on this matter, that is, they all believed that these things were fabricated by Lin Jue and Guo Bing's father and son to smear the emperor. Of course they are
The reason why they think so is that the privy envoy Yang Jun told them so. The Northwest Army was originally Yang Jun's descendant, and Yang Jun said that it was fabricated and smeared by others, and in the minds of the generals of the Northwest Army, this is the truth.
Because of this, the generals of the Northwest Army could not accept the fact that Guo Kun killed Guo Xu, and they also had prejudice against the Luoyan Army. Originally, the Luoyan Army was a rebel army of the imperial court, and Guo Kun killed the emperor Guo Xu, how could the generals of the Northwest Army accept it? Therefore, even though the Luoyan Army has made it clear that it is the main force to resist foreign enemies, and the new emperor's accession to the throne is actually logical, the generals of the Northwest Army still decided not to be with the Luoyan Army.
But now, with the truth in sight, everything is very different.
Sun Wanchun read through the confession in front of the generals, and there was a sudden gasp in the lobby. Everyone was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, and their mouths couldn't close for a long time. They never expected that they would be able to learn so many secret things today. Subverted many of what they had heard and thought before, and subverted their previous impressions of many people. For a while, I couldn't accept it emotionally.
"How is that possible? How is this possible? This confession must have been forged. It must be fake. It must have been forged by your Luoyan Army to deceive us, we don't believe it. Someone shouted.
"Yes, yes, it must be a forgery. How could this be? When pigs fly. Someone chimed in.
Ma Bin stretched out his hand to retrieve the letterhead in Sun Wanchun's hand and sneered: "You guys are simply incorrigible. Marshal Lin of my family is afraid that you will not believe the facts we told you, and that you will not know who killed your Lord Yuan, so he took out this confession as evidence. This is a confession written by Guo Xu himself, you don't even believe his words, what else can I say? This matter is something that Guo Xu has personally experienced, if everything is fabricated, how can it be so meticulous? You carefully think about the details of the Northwest Army after it arrived in the capital, and then recall and recall the words and deeds of Lord Yuan, and see if you can get the right number, don't you know if it's true or not? If you have to hide your ears and insist on believing only what you want to believe, then there is nothing you can do. Lord Yuan is the commander of your Northwest Army, and as their subordinates, the people who have been cultivated by his favor have turned a deaf ear to the fact that he was framed, can we, outsiders, still force you to believe it? In a word, I believe it, and if I don't believe it, I won't waste my saliva. β
The generals swallowed and spat at each other. A general suddenly said in a deep voice: "This matter ...... I remembered. On that day, when Lord Yuan entered Beijing to face the saint, General Zhao, the commander of the personal guard, was accompanied to protect him. They went out of the city and returned to the camp in the middle of the night, and I was on duty in the front army that night, and I escorted them back to the camp. I heard General Zhao seem to say that Lord Yuan met the emperor, and then he was invited by Lu Zhongtian to speak for a long time. General Zhao said that after Lord Yuan came out of the Lu Zhong Heavenly Mansion, he seemed to have a thought, and told us not to talk too much and annoy Lord Yuan. β
One of the generals said, "What does that mean?" β
Another general said: "Remember that Lord Yuan received a holy order from the emperor
He entered the palace to face the saint. Lord Yuan didn't plan to give Lu Zhongtian a good face before entering Beijing, after all, because of Yang's secret matter, Lord Yuan had a grudge against Lu Zhongtian in his heart. Later, I met Lu Zhongtian again, which was indeed a little strange. β
"What's even more strange is that the original decision was to enter the capital to defend the city the next day, suddenly changed the order to attack the city, and after returning from the city, the order was changed, which is really strange." And humane.
"It's a pity that General Zhao died in battle, and the guards who followed Lord Yuan were all killed in battle, and now I can't know the specific events that happened. There is no way to verify. Someone whispered.
When the generals were discussing, Sun Wanchun frowned and thought, then let him raise his head suddenly, and said loudly: "You don't have to guess, this confession is absolutely true, and I believe it is true." When Lord Yuan ordered Tianming to attack the Jurchens, he did say that the imperial forbidden army would go out of the city to outflank the Jurchens. I was present at the time, along with Commander Zhao and Deputy Commander Liu. We also helped Lord Yuan to make a deduction of the war, thinking that this battle would be won. Before, I thought that it was because the cavalry of our Northwest Army was defeated too quickly, so the forbidden army in the city was defeated before it had time to move, so I didn't suspect that this was a ruse. But now that I think about it, they have every chance of sending troops. And...... The Iron Floating Slaughter cavalry suddenly appeared, which caught us off guard, and Lord Yuan didn't mention the Iron Floating Slaughter at all before. This heavy cavalry was not counted in the deduction, which was definitely not the negligence of Lord Yuan, but Lord Yuan did not know about the existence of this enemy heavy cavalry. Since Lu Zhongtian was going to attack the Jurchens at the same time as Lord Yuan, how could he not tell Lord Yuan this information? That Tiefutu had shown up when he went south, it was impossible for Lu Zhongtian not to know that the Jurchens had such heavy cavalry, why didn't he tell Lord Yuan? All kinds of indications show that it was Lu Zhongtian's deliberate concealment, and it was the killing of our Northwest Army that was defeated here. This is the truth, and there is no doubt about it. β
The generals were sweating profusely and their hearts were pounding. There was also a simple general who asked himself, "But why did Lu Zhongtian do this?" β
"General Wang, are you stupid? Lu Zhongtian wants to control the emperor and steal the country, he doesn't want Lord Yuan to enter the capital, so he can't control the emperor and can't achieve his ambitions. The emperor wrote it all in the confession, and I read it, but you still don't understand? Sun Wanchun sighed.
"This dog thief, Lu Zhongtian, this dog thief, God kills, it turns out that everything is his troublemaker. We...... Lord Yuan and more than 100,000 soldiers turned out to be pitted by this old thief. This old thief pretended to send people to condolence afterwards, and asked us to go to the capital to station. β
"Yes, this old dog has long wanted to collude with the Jurchens to steal my Great Zhou Jiangshan, this old thief...... This old thief should be cut with a thousand knives. β
"Pity Lord Yuan and so many brothers. actually died in the tricks of his own people, I'm afraid I won't be blind to death. Woo woo, what a fucking shit. β
The generals of the Northwest Army gritted their teeth and cursed, and some of them burst into tears and wept bitterly.
