Chapter 109: Do you want to overturn the case for Yuan Thief?
Pain, which is short-lived, is pleasant, and which continues to grow. On a good spring night, Mo Li galloped for a long time, and finally broke out in the abundant water and grass in Liang Peijun's crisp and charming screams......
The next morning, Mo Li opened his eyes and saw Liang Peijun sleeping soundly, so he kissed her cheek and gently lifted the quilt to get up. The red plums bloomed on the sheets, and Mo Li's heart was also full of joy, and he had to talk to Sun Chengzong today.
Moli took Du Geng, Guan Feng, Ma Jinzhong, Cao Bianjiao and others to Zhangjiatun and came to the pre-arranged place - Wanfu Building, where Sun Chengzong was already waiting at the gate.
Mo Li met Sun Chengzong for the first time, and he sincerely admired the military strategist of the Ming Dynasty who built the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Ningjin Defense Line in history, and for this important minister of the late Ming Dynasty who lived and died with his family and the city when the Qing army attacked Gaoyang in Kouguan.
Sun Chengzong is about seventy years old, and his beard has turned gray, but he still opens up angrily, looking very majestic, which makes people feel awe. I saw that he was wearing a purple daze, with a Longquan sword hanging from his waist, and he was standing on the stone steps with his hands in his hands, as if he was pondering something.
On both sides of the gate of Wanfu Building, dozens of guards in bright armor stood with their banners, lined up on both sides, majestic and majestic.
After the guards reported, seeing Mo Li and the others coming in, Sun Chengzong smiled slightly, walked down the stone steps, and said loudly: "You are Mo Li, right?" Haha, when Yuan Chonghuan took you to see the old man, you were still a half-grown child, and you haven't seen you for a few years, and you have even changed your appearance! β
"Sun Gebu, do you remember me?" Mo Li was a little surprised, he was just a little-known small character in Liaodong, and he didn't expect Sun Chengzong to remember.
"Hahaha...... You kid was naΓ―ve and cute back then, but you're getting more and more slippery now! Sun Chengzong laughed and said, although he was old, he still spoke with a loud voice.
Mo Li hugged his fists and saluted, and said, "Sun Gebu has come from afar, and he has worked hard!" Let's go inside. β
"Yes, yes, I forgot about the old man! Hey, people are getting old! Come on, come in! Sun Chengzong said, and walked in first.
Mo Li and the others followed the fish. Wanfu Lou is a restaurant, and it has already been contracted at this moment, and everyone has been dismissed.
A long table of rosewood was placed in the middle of the hall, and Sun Chengzong walked to it first, sat down on the main seat, and ordered someone to serve tea. To Sun Chengzong's left is a white-faced bearded eunuch, along with three other officials.
Mo Li sat on Sun Chengzong's right, and Du Geng, Guan Feng, Ma Jinzhong, Cao Bianjiao and others also sat on the side, just five people.
Mo Li took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said loudly: "Sun Gebu, you are here on behalf of the Son of Heaven this time, does the Son of Heaven have any determination to negotiate peace with us?" β
Sun Chengzong nodded, and said with a calm face: "Mo Li, you were also a member of the old man's account back then, and I will say some things directly." You were originally my Ming general, and in the old man's impression, you are not the untrustworthy and unrighteous traitor, why did you have to go up the mountain and fall into the grass this time, pull up people and horses to confront the court? The old man of Liu Tianlu also heard about it, but this should not be the reason why you want to rebel against the imperial court! β
Mo Li thought for a while and said, "Sun Gebu, in fact, the reason why we went up the mountain and fell to the grass can be said to be because of those traitors in the imperial court. After I was expelled from the army by Zu Shuai that day, I heard that those traitors in the court not only killed Inspector Yuan, but also sent people to hunt down and kill Inspector's wife and children. β
"Presumptuous! Yuan Chonghuan's dog thief colluded with the Tartars and mutilated the Jingshi, why is it wrong for His Majesty to execute him? He deserves to blame! The eunuch sitting next to Sun Chengzong suddenly said in a shrill voice.
"Who is this?" Mo Li looked at the eunuch a little annoyed and said.
Sun Chengzong then said: "Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is the high and hidden father-in-law of Ouchi, and this time the emperor sent the high-ranking father-in-law to be in charge of this negotiation with the old man." β
Then he introduced the other three officials, all of whom were officials of the six ministries in Beijing.
That eunuch was Gao Qiqian. After he withdrew to Beijing at the end of last year, he made up various reasons to put all the blame on Cao Wenzhao, of course, he also asked Chongzhen to cry for his guilt, and under his performance, Chongzhen did not punish him, but only fined three hundred taels of silver.
This time, Sun Chengzong went south to negotiate with the Fuxing Army, and Chongzhen was more familiar with the situation because Gao Qiqian had just dealt with the Fuxing Army, so he sent him to assist Sun Chengzong in recruiting An Mo to leave the department.
"Father-in-law Gao? Look up for a long time. Mo Lipi squeezed out a smile without smiling, it turns out that you are Gao Qidive, hum. For this goods that have brought disaster to the country and the people, he doesn't plan to give him any good face, "But I don't like to listen to what Gonggong Gao said, you said that Inspector Yuan colluded with the Tartars, where is the evidence?" Don't slander the Overseer if you don't have evidence! Otherwise, our brothers would not have agreed! β
"You!" Gao Qiqian didn't expect Mo Li to say wild words to himself as soon as he came up, how can he say that he is now negotiating with you on behalf of the emperor, not to mention that there are officers and soldiers guarding all sides here, no matter how crazy you are, the bandit leader, you should be a little measured, right!
"Boss Mo, why is there no evidence for what our family said? He Yuan Chonghuan colluded with the Tartars with bad intentions, this is a crime condemned by the emperor! If there is no evidence, will the emperor make such a will? Gao Qiqian snorted.
"Oh? Is it? Where's the proof? Can my father-in-law take it? Mo Li sneered.
"This ...... What the emperor said is proof! Gao Qiqian couldn't imagine that Mo Li would be stalked on this issue, and his momentum was suddenly stagnant.
Sun Chengzong also said at this time: "Yuan Chonghuan's matter, the emperor has decided, so don't be entangled anymore, as for whether he is loyal or traitorous, history has its own notarization, whether he died unjustly or not, it will be left to future generations to comment, let's not discuss it anymore, let's talk about the topic." β
Mo Li's face changed, and he said coldly: "Sun Gebu's words are wrong! Loyalty is loyalty, treachery is treachery, Yuan Inspector stands up to the sky, dedicated to guarding the country for the Ming Dynasty, protecting the territory and the people, but in the end he was framed as a traitor by a traitor, and died unjustly and tragically, if the court can't find out the truth and supervise a clean slate, wouldn't it make the people of the world chill?
Besides, the historical record was written by the rulers, and once the crime of rebellion was convicted, history would have been distorted over the years, and who would know the grievances of the overseers a hundred years later? β
Gao Qiqian snorted coldly, and said in a weird manner: "Is Boss Mo planning to overturn the case for Yuan Thief?" β
