Chapter 46 Confrontation in court
In front of Jun Sumi and other ministers, Liu Ye accused Ubuji of making huge profits from false accounts and harming the people of the country. Her words were like throwing 10,000 catties of boulders on the calm water, setting off stormy waves in an instant.
The elders and ministers were dumbfounded one by one, what is the concept of five hundred horses? It is equivalent to the income of the next year, and if it is added to the national treasury, it will be able to cover the cost of rebuilding Akaya Castle. But if it goes into someone's pocket, it's a rich country!
They all looked at Ubuji, as the head of the elders, he showed off his power on weekdays, and the Ubuji family was also very majestic, and even the poor relatives who were close to the family could become the local head snake.
The Ubuji family's monopoly position on the grassland lasted for decades, and successive generations of Kunmo trusted him. He swallowed not only the money of the treasury, but also the hard-earned money of the common people.
If this charge is true, he Ubuji is guilty of a capital crime, an unforgivable capital crime! Even if the army must do its best to protect it, it will not escape the fate of being ruined! If Jun Sumi still wants to protect him in this situation, not to mention that the elders and ministers present are not convinced, all the people of Wusun are not convinced.
The military beard was now furious, and the clear numbers on the parchment scroll pierced his heart like a sharp blade, and Ubuji, whom he trusted the most, dared to betray Wusun and betray him, and even started the idea of these five hundred horses. Jun Sumi was a little skeptical about the authenticity, he didn't think Ubuji had such a big guts, but the interests were in the first place, and it was difficult to ensure that he was not moved. Take a risk and do a vote, and future generations will benefit, not to mention that he is old and will have to quit the government in a few years, this kind of opportunity cannot be a second time, and it is not impossible to take risks. This huge amount of money fell into his personal pocket, and his entire family could not eat it up for several lifetimes.
Ubuji didn't expect that he would be charged with this kind of crime at all, he was first surprised, then shocked, seeing that Jun Xu was silent, the elders and ministers talked about it, and turned to accuse Liu Ye angrily.
"Slander! This is slander! Ubuji trembled and shouted, and knelt down to Jun Sumi with a puff, "The king is clear, the king is clear, the old minister has served the court all his life, and his loyalty to the world can be seen." The old minister didn't dare to claim merit, but it was never an exaggeration, this time the supervisor of Chigu City, conscientious and loyal, a copper plate in the treasury never thought of embezzlement, how could he covet such a large amount, even if he borrowed a few guts from the old minister, he didn't dare to do it! ”
Jun Sumi still wanted to believe him once, but the evidence of the parchment scroll in his hand was conclusive, the thousand horses that the Han asked for were clearly written, and the national seal of the Han and Wusun were also intact, which showed that what Liu Ye said was true. Wusun has only given away 500 horses so far, so in whose name did the remaining 500 horses go?
"See for yourself!" The military beard was so angry that his head swelled, and he threw the parchment roll to Ubuji, "Look, look carefully, the Wusun national seal is kept by you, who else is not you who stamped it, you shouldn't tell this king that the national seal has been stolen, right?" Hmph, whether the Han side asked for a thousand horses or five hundred, it is very simple to find out, and this king only needs to write a letter to ask for it. Elder Ubuji, you have been in the court for so many years, you must know the seriousness of this matter, you had better give this king a reasonable explanation! ”
Ubuji trembled and picked up the parchment scroll and looked at it, the Wusun national seal was correct, and the Han paperwork was no problem, the only difference was that the five hundred horses he saw at the beginning had now been changed to a thousand. He studied it several times but couldn't figure out what the problem was, and when he stamped the national seal, he clearly saw that it was five hundred horses instead of a thousand, and even if he was dizzy with old eyes, it was impossible for him to make such a fatal mistake.
Ubuji knew very well in his heart that he could not use the excuse of the theft of the national seal, the national seal was related to the dignity of a country, and poor storage was a capital crime. Without an excuse, how can he clear his name?
"The king......" Ubuji presented the parchment scroll with both hands, and said with a low brow, "Wusun's national seal is indeed covered by the old minister's own hand......"
Before hearing this, Jun Sumi was extremely angry, pointed at Ubuji's nose and scolded: "How can this be reasonable, the sky has been turned upside down, this king treats you well, you dare to do such a despicable thing, you, you ......"
"The king is angry! It is true that the old minister personally stamped the national seal, but the number of horses written on the document at that time was indeed 500, not 1,000! The king is wise, even if the old minister is extremely despicable, he will never have the courage to swallow such a huge amount privately, and even if it is true that the Han wants a thousand horses, how can the old minister be a courtier, how can he have such a great ability to find five hundred horses to fill the vacancy, how can he have such a great ability to swallow this money? ”
When Ubuji said this, Jun Sumi calmed down a lot, and as far as he knew, the Ubuji family did not have a large-scale horse farm. Five hundred high-quality horses cannot be done by just one family, and in the horse farm of the Wusun royal family, all the high-quality horses add up to only a thousand. Ubuji didn't use the horses of Wusun Racecourse, and in such a short period of time, he couldn't collect them from the people.
If the provenance of the 500 horses is not known, he cannot be punished, which is the most basic reason. Jun Su couldn't figure it out, and Ubuji couldn't have known the number of horses the Han wanted in advance, so where did he get these horses from?
What Jun Su thought of, the other elders and ministers also thought of, they didn't like Ubuji, and they didn't like Liu Ye, it was difficult to judge who was true and who was false! No one can sort out this confused account, the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, Liu Ye can get evidence, and Ubuji also has a reason to prove his innocence, it is really difficult to distinguish for a while!
"Elder Ubuji's words sound very reasonable, the king will be confused by him!"
At this time, Liu Ye took out another parchment roll and presented it to Jun Sumi, who hurriedly took it and took a look, it didn't matter, I saw that his forehead was full of green tendons, his eyes were spitting fire, and his eyeballs were about to jump out.
"Wu, Bu, Ji ......" The blood in Jun Xumi's whole body rushed to the top of his head, he was so dizzy and his heart was beating faster, and he couldn't speak, "You, you, you dare to ......"
Jun Sumi's reaction was too intense, he rolled his eyes and almost turned his back, and the guards turned pale with fright, and hurriedly pinched people and slapped their chests.
Ubuji was dumbfounded, what was it that Liu Ye presented, how could it stimulate the military beard like this? The ministers were also in a hurry to death, and craned their necks to look at it, all wanting to glance at what was written on the parchment!
After a long time, Jun Su Mi finally took a breath, he pinched the parchment roll in his hand, swept it to the elders and ministers in the court, and sneered: "This king has long known that you have all received a lot of benefits from the Huns, and this king is too lazy to care about this matter with one eye open, but he didn't expect that one day he would reap the consequences." Yes, this king is also selfish, he flatters Mrs. Zuo in every possible way, thinking that he just wants to do business in Chigu City to do business for people from the Western Regions, who knows that he is a hungry wolf who is not satisfied! ”
Jun Sumi looked at Ubuji who was trembling again: "This time you went to Chigu City to supervise, you must have received a lot of benefits from him!" Otherwise, how dare you risk helping him make such a big business? Tell me, how much good did he give you? A deposit for fifty horses? A deposit for a hundred horses? Say, how much good he gives you, you can't wait to betray the country! ”
Everyone looked at each other, and they all knew in their hearts who the Hun was, and they knelt down and begged for mercy in a hurry: "Wechen knows that I am wrong, and Wechen has nothing to do with this matter......"
On the surface, they admit their mistakes, but in fact, they have drawn a line with Ubuji, and in the past, they could not have taken advantage of it, but now they can't take care of it.
Ubuji kept shaking his head, knelt forward and said: "King, listen to the old minister's explanation, the old minister and Na Weilu are just nodding friends, and you also know the materials he sent!" Other than that, the old minister rarely met him in private......"
"That's enough, it's clearly written, you still want to quibble?" Jun Sumi threw the parchment roll to Liu Ye, "Read it to him......"
Liu Ye looked at the panicked Ubuji expressionlessly, and said loudly: "I have signed the following agreement with Wei Lu, Wei Lu will provide five hundred good breed horses, and deliver them at two percent lower than the market price of Wusun, and the two percent difference will be given to me after receiving the deposit, and I am allowed to send someone to verify the type of horse...... The signature of Wei Lu and Ubuji is ......"
"What? How could such a thing happen? Everyone pointed the finger at Ubuji and condemned it, "It's too much, as Elder Wusun, how can you do such a thing?" The horse dealers who colluded with the Huns fooled the Han and Wusun, lawless! ”
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it......" Ubuji jumped up, snatched the parchment roll in Liu Ye's hand, stared at the payment on it, and the signature was his, but he definitely never signed this kind of agreement with Wei Lu.
Ubuji was strongly mentally stimulated, and he shook his head and muttered, "What's going on?" How so? My signature and the seal of Wusun are all right, but I have never seen the document and I have never signed this agreement......"
At this point, it is useless to say more. Jun Sumi waved his hand tiredly, and said in a dumb voice: "Take him down, remove the title of Elder Ubuji, and convict him after this matter is clarified, go down, go down......
"King, I am wronged, wronged......" Ubuji pleaded with tears, passing by Liu Ye's side, his cloudy eyes lit up, "Slut, it's you, right?" You designed everything? You framed me! You say, how did you falsify evidence, and you said, ah......"
Liu Ye looked at him calmly and said, "Elder Ubuji, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and from the moment you are selfish, you should think of this fate." I hope you will reflect on it and stop doing this kind of thing that will bring disaster to the country and the people again. ”
The guards dragged Ubuji out of the yurt, and Ubuji hissed and scolded: "Slut, it must be you, you fabricated evidence to frame me, let go of the Han craftsmen without permission, and deceive Kun Moqi for the crime of deceiving Kun Moqi......"
Liu Ye faced the military beard and complained again: "The Han craftsman disappeared inexplicably for some reason, and asked the king to give an explanation to relieve his worries." Otherwise, Xie Wei will definitely ask for their lives and ask the Han to investigate thoroughly! ”
Jun Su Mi was so angry that his liver was about to explode by Ubuji, Liu Ye mentioned the matter of the Han craftsman again, where did he still have the heart to investigate, it was originally a conspiracy between him and Ubuji, and in order to avoid extraneous branches, he hurriedly put the blame on Ubuji.
"Eighty percent is also a good thing he did, he has always excluded the Han people, the princess can rest assured, after this king finds out, he will give you an explanation. Scatter the dynasty! ”
