Chapter 555: No one dares to defend the country
Fortunately, the emperor didn't expect any answer from them, so he turned his head to look at Fu Shengping: "Do you have something to say?" ”
Even if Fu Shengping was kneeling, he still straightened his back: "Back to the emperor, the last general has nothing to say." ”
"Then you're confessing."
Fu Shengping shook his head: "The last general did not admit his guilt, and the last general did not know what crime he had committed. ”
The emperor immediately sneered: "You really don't know? ”
His eyes were firmly fixed on Fu Shengping, and seeing that he was as frank as ever and did not panic at all, he took out something from his sleeve and threw it lightly on the ground.
Fu Shengping was puzzled: "This is?" ”
"See for yourself what this is, it is really Yuan Jinzhou's letter to protect you, the words are only sincere, I am going to be moved."
There was a lot of irony in these words, but Fu Shengping didn't seem to hear it at all, opened the envelope, read it calmly, and then put the letter on the ground, his expression was still calm: "Your Majesty, the last general will be wronged." ”
"Wronged?" The emperor said coldly, "What do I think of Yuan Jinzhou being very kind to you. ”
Nan Xuanye couldn't see the content of the letter, but he knew that the secret correspondence was nothing, and if someone stabbed him in the open, then the saint would have enough reason to suspect Fu Shengping.
It's just that he doesn't understand, how could his father send such a letter, isn't it harmful?
He couldn't figure it out, and he felt that his father might be concerned about it, so he wanted to stand up and admit that the letter was because of him, so that Fu Shengping could get rid of suspicion.
But before he could take a step, he was pulled by someone for a night, and when he looked back, it was his daughter-in-law.
"Lady?"
"You sit down first." Qin Miaomiao pulled him to sit down, and then whispered, "Don't you think this matter is strange?" Your father was so clever and resourceful, how could he send a letter at this time? ”
These two are friends, so they won't frame each other.
Nan Xuanye paused slightly, "This ......" This is also what he can't figure out.
But he didn't act rashly.
Fu Shengping over there has already read the letter carefully, and he is confident at this time, and he is not panicked at all: "Your Majesty, the last general and the king of Dingbei do have some personal relations, but that is all in the past, since the last general became the general of Zhenbei, we have not seen it for many years, only some time ago he came to the camp of the last general and found his son-in-law, after which we had no contact, and I dare not say anything else, just say this handwriting, the last general can see at a glance that this is not the handwriting of the king of Dingbei." ”
"That alone?"
Fu Shengping shook his head and glanced down at the letter: "Of course, not only that, the king of Dingbei has always called the last general a bad friend, and he will never use General Fu in his heart, and he is used to writing letters to his ministers with his left hand, and he always deliberately colds the last general, although there are only a few letters sent over the years, but when it comes to the last general, he will definitely not change his style suddenly." ”
Left-handed handwriting is completely different from right-handedness, but no one knows this, only the two of them know it, and Fu Shengping didn't expect that one day, this would become evidence.
The emperor's expression was uncertain: "It seems that you have a good relationship, you even remember his little habits and handwriting." ”
Nan Xuanye frowned slightly, this is simply deliberately finding fault, picking bones in eggs.
Fu Shengping was very calm, and said lightly: "Back to the emperor, the last general has never thought of slowing down anyone, and the soldiers on the border know that the last general has a relationship with the king of Dingbei, and later became friends, plus we are close, occasionally he will come to me to drink and talk about his recent situation in the northern plains." ”
But that's all, no matter how much it is, the two of them know that they can't talk, so it's over.
The emperor said meaningfully: "That's all? ”
"That's all." Fu Shengping's expression was frank, without the slightest weakness, "The last general has been guarding the border pass for many years, and he has known the king of Dingbei for a long time, and later there is Xuanye in the middle, so it is inevitable to be closer, but if it doesn't matter, I'm afraid that no one will believe it." ”
The emperor's expression was slightly relieved, and he saw that he was quite honest in his speech.
Fu Shengping then said: "Xu gave people with a heart the illusion that the last general was plotting something with the king of Dingbei, which really wronged the last general. ”
The emperor coughed lowly: "Then I ask you, you know that the king of Dingbei has a special identity, why do you still get so close to him?" ”
Fu Shengping smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, the last general has cut off contact with him later, but who knows that the newly recognized godson is actually his sister-in-law, and now he can't break it cleanly if he wants to, and the last general is still counting on his godson to provide for the last general's pension and retire for the rest of his life, and he can't throw away his godson because of this unwarranted worry." ”
What are these rumors? Can you provide for him in old age?
No, so in the end, he still has to rely on himself to do his son, as for the suspicion of the saint, even if there is no matter of the king of Dingbei, he will find other excuses.
The emperor blinked slightly, and then said, "You said no, then there is no more?" I don't know what I'm trying to do with the two of you. ”
Unexpectedly, Fu Shengping laughed: "Your Majesty, if the last general and the king of Dingbei really have a plan, your throne will not be so stable, but now you see, the people of the world all praise you as a benevolent monarch, and all the vassal kings and neighboring countries bow down to you, which shows how firmly you sit in the position of the king of the country." ”
But the funny thing is that he kept all this for the emperor.
The emperor squinted slightly, although what he said was true, he didn't like it, as if he was mocking: Look, you want me to guard the whole world, why are you embarrassed to do this to me?
The emperor has been high for a long time, and of course he felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Nan Xuanye sighed secretly in his heart, his godfather is really a straight gut, if he says anything, he is not afraid of making the emperor lively, he ordered the beheading in a fit of anger, and there is no room for turning around.
He took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, General Fu has been guarding the border for many years, killing the enemy for you, defending the family and defending the country, and his scars are his merits. ”
The Emperor groaned slightly, as if he had listened.
Nan Xuanye quietly raised his eyes and glanced at him, and then continued: "You are a benevolent monarch, of course you can see whether General Fu and the King of Dingbei are colluding, if the evidence is conclusive, then no one has anything to say, but if it is just the gossip of others, it is really not worth chilling the heart of a general." ”
He paused and said the last sentence: "I'm even more afraid that no one will dare to defend your country in the future." ”
Since ancient times, military generals have actually had no good end, if they die on the battlefield, they can still be posthumously sealed, but he is unwilling, why did Fu Shengping throw his head and spill blood for the emperor, and did all the dirty things, but in the end he wanted to be the donkey who was unloaded and killed?
The Emperor was shocked, his eyes fixed on him.
All the ministers didn't dare to breathe, this was the first time they had seen someone dare to speak to the saint so bluntly.
