Chapter 645: Invitation
As Changning expected, this was a public trial.
This notice can be said to be both a notice and an invitation.
Liu Yizhan obviously knew that Changning was in Mu Qingyan's army, and this time was an opportunity for Changning to take advantage of this trial to return to Chang'an.
You must know that this moment is a very critical time in the eyes of the world.
The first emperor died, the new emperor was undecided, and the situation was on the verge of breaking out.
Although many courtiers know that Changning holds the secret edict of the first emperor, this is the empress, even if Changning has a lot of connections among the courtiers, but this is obviously not a matter that can be easily spoken.
No one knows how much courage and courage it takes to support the empress.
Especially now that Liu Yizhan led the army to occupy Chang'an, although Liu Yizhan did not express his position, no one knew whether he wanted to rebel or not, and who dared to talk nonsense.
Although Princess Changning's surname is Chu, she has the blood of the general Liu family flowing in her body, whether Liu Yizhan wants to support the empress or want to ascend the throne and stand on her own, who knows?
However, the only thing that is certain is that no matter what Liu Yizhan wants to do, there will be a large number of people in Chang'an City.
In two successive rebellions, the Zheng family is conclusive evidence, and although the Qin family is confused, everyone knows that the two generals of the left and right battalions were ordered to enter Chang'an.
At that time, no one except the Qin family could issue an edict, and there was also a foreshadowing of the edict in front of the edict, and everyone could guess that the Qin family was dissatisfied with the eldest princess at that time.
If it weren't for Liu Yizhan coming in now, it is estimated that it would be the enthronement ceremony of the five princes at this moment.
So until things don't work out, no one will take a position lightly.
This public trial is an opportunity.
An opportunity to give Liu Yizhan an an opportunity to see the attitude of the ministers.
It was also Liu Yizhan's invitation to Mu Qingyan and Changning.
Everyone in Chang'an City knew that the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Mu Qingyan and General Yan Jing were stationed on the Chang'an side, which was the biggest threat to Liu Yi's battle now.
In fact, looking at the overall situation, Mu Qingyan is the biggest threat.
Because until the last moment, Mu Qingyan had two official positions on his back, the head coach of Eagle Eye Pass and the king of Liaodong County.
The former is the commander of the 200,000 army in Eagle Eye Pass, and the latter is the commander of the 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Liaodong County.
Even if Liu Yizhan summoned 80,000 old troops from Hawkeye Pass under the pretense of King Qin, he still suffered a moral loss to Shangmu Qingyan.
So even if Changning is not in Mu Qingyan's army, he still wants to invite Mu Qingyan to come to Chang'an for a good chat.
Now the public trial of the "Liu family's rebellion" case is the best opportunity.
"Your Highness finally came out of Chang'an, and it may be dangerous to go again." General Zhou persuaded.
He and Mu Qingyan's father are world friends, and he is even more loyal to Da Chu, knowing that Changning is the new monarch of the first emperor's favor, he naturally supports Changning at this moment, so he is very worried about Changning's safety.
And Fang Qian, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "What's dangerous? The old general is the princess's own ancestor, can he still murder His Highness? ”
Fang Qian strode forward: "I am willing to accompany His Highness back to Chang'an!" ”
At the beginning, in order to avenge the old general, Fang Qian could be said to have risked his life, but now that Liu Yizhan has come back alive, of course he is not afraid.
That kind of spirit is naturally hard to find, but it is not what Changning advocates.
She judges things not by feelings, but by her head.
"You have to go back, but it's not what you say." Changning spoke.
……
Early the next morning, Chang'an City opened the city gate that had been closed for three days.
Some people packed up their packages and fled, and some people dared to come to the city to do business, carrying burdens one after another.
They are all farmers in the surrounding area, and they make a living by buying vegetables.
Not opening the city gate for three days in a row had already left them hungry, and now they naturally rushed in.
Changning and Mu Qingyan were also among them.
They disguised themselves and came to the outside of the government on time.
Unlike them, Fang Qian.
That Fang Qian, who had maintained the greatest trust in Liu Yizhan from beginning to end, was the city that he entered openly.
For fear that others would not know him, he also wore the armor of General Zhenwei.
As soon as he entered Chang'an, someone like Liu Yizhan reported to him, and a large number of officers and soldiers surrounded Fang Qian: "General Fang, please come with us." ”
Fang Qian thought that he was going to take him to Liu Yizhan, but of course things were not as simple as he thought.
He was taken straight to the lobby.
The hall is still the two people who were interrogated by the three divisions at the beginning, but there is no screen in the side hall, and naturally there is no appearance of Changning.
But Changning is the same now, hiding in the crowd.
Kang Ziming, who was trying the case on the stage, trembled and slapped a shocked voice: "Bold, how dare you peep into the court!" ”
Fang Qian apologized, he already understood what he wanted to interrogate, and this was the reason why he wanted to come.
Proving the innocence of the Liu family has always been Fang Qian's goal, so as long as Fang Qian is still there, he will not give up, and this time is his best chance.
Fang Qian said everything he knew in one fell swoop.
Now that Zheng Anhou is dead, Song Yisheng has also been beheaded, and there is no one who knows the whole thing, Fang Qian can say everything smoothly without worrying about being interrupted.
Liu Jiazhi didn't say anything about it, but Kang Ziming was sweating a little on his forehead, I don't know if it was because of the autumn tiger heat, or if he was nervous.
"As you said, the whole thing is Song Yisheng playing tricks and falsifying evidence?"
"Yes, at the beginning, we had real and fake account books, and adults can go and check them."
Kang Ziming shook his hand, and his voice was a little helpless: "We can hear the old general's words now." ”
That's right, now that Liu Yizhan is in front of him, why not listen to Liu Yizhan's words.
Fang Qian turned around, and he really saw the boiling crowd.
"The old general is here!" I don't know who is heckling, everyone cheers.
The treatment that Liu Yizhan received in Qing'an is now being staged in Chang'an, but the expression of King Xiao Jin who followed him is not very good-looking.
When Changning saw King Xiao Jin, his face was a little delicate.
On the other side, Fang Qian was extremely excited when he saw Liu Yizhan: "Old general! I thought...... I thought I'd never see you again! ”
Liu Yizhan smiled kindly and touched the top of Fang Qian's head: "Good boy, I've worked hard for you this time." ”
Fang Qian shook his head.
Outside the crowd, Changning and Mu Qingyan also shook their heads as hawkers.
Liu Yizhan appeared in person, and it was difficult to escape the suspicion of showmanship.
If this is the case, then Liu's statement of the first battle is afraid that it will also be different from the facts.
Sure enough, Liu Yizhan opened his mouth: "What Qing'an raised at the beginning is completely inconsistent with the facts, I, Liu Yizhan, stand up to the sky, and will never do anything to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, then all the account books are fake, and there are two batches of weapons in the warehouse at the same time!" ”
There was an uproar.
Now I hear the confession of the person concerned!
"I, Liu Yizhan, received the grace of the righteous man to die in lieu of death, so that I can live to this day, and I must not bear this stigma again!"
The righteous died in lieu of death.
Liu Yizhan found a good reason for his own life, and then began to attack: "I fled to the northwest, and wandered among the Turkic tribes, and discovered a secret that had plagued me for many years. ”
In the crowd, Changning's face was cold.
Liu Yizhan took out the willow leaf talisman: "The defeat and killing of His Royal Highness the King of Jin was not an accident at all, but someone deliberately framed the King of Jin!" ”
King Xiao Jin's face changed drastically.
No wonder I wanted to bring him here, it turned out to be to talk about the death of King Jin!
