269. Xuanwumen Palace Changes

Lin Xi heard the suspicion as soon as he heard it.

"That's not right!"

"Tens of thousands of soldiers, this is not a number that can easily hide their whereabouts, how can the DPRK and China not receive news of the march? Either someone in the DPRK deliberately suppressed the reported news, or someone deliberately intercepted the news on the way back to Beijing! ”

Moreover, Shen Chen's reputation is far and wide, and the lives of his subordinates must be countless. Not to mention that it is impossible for Shen Chen to surrender, even if Shen Chen is willing, how can the Hu people accept him? ”

Master Chen closed his eyes and said, "You can think of a female doll from a peasant family, how could you not think of those old people in the court?" ”

Lin Xi had a bad premonition: "What do you mean?" ”

Li Fuzi put down the teacup in his hand and said: "At that time, the court and the central government were divided into two factions, one faction did not believe that Shen Chen would surrender, and there must be deception among them; The other faction has long questioned Shen Chen's recovery of the lost territory too quickly, and threatened that Shen Chen had long been in close contact with the Hu people, and the previous recovery of the lost territory was just a disguise, but in fact it was not recovered, but only deceived Taizu, otherwise how could the Hu people capture Yanmen Pass in such a short time? ”

"Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and anything is possible. Maybe there is a capable general on the Hu side! It's really a sin to be added, and there is no excuse for it! Lin Xi laughed angrily.

Chen Fuzi said: "Yes, at that time, it was Aguta, the son of the Hu Khan, who led the troops to attack the Qin people. He was a very powerful general, and later it was because of him that even if the Qin people regained the lost territory, they also paid a heavy price, and had to end their contacts with the north and south under internal and external troubles in order to recuperate. ”

Lin Xi thought to herself, she seemed to have heard Yan mention Ah Gu Da.

"What about Shen Chen? Was Shen Chen really in the Hu Ren military camp at that time? ”

Master Chen stared at him and said, "I don't know." ”

Lin Xi: "??? ”

Chen Fuzi said: "Taizu actually doesn't believe that Shen Chen is in the Hu people's military camp, on the one hand, he ordered people to look for Shen Chen, and on the other hand, he told the world that if Shen Chen is really on the Hu people's side, as long as he comes back and confesses, he will not be sentenced to death." ”

But the most important thing at that time was not Shen Chen, but Hu Ren. The Hu people attacked very fiercely, and it seemed that it had threatened the hinterland of the Central Plains, but there were not many available generals in the DPRK and China, and the war was frequently lost. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xi's heart sank suddenly.

"During this period, Shen Chen didn't appear, did he?"

Chen Fuzi and Li Fuzi nodded.

Lin Xi said with difficulty: "If Shen Chen is innocent, he can return to the military camp when Daqin is in trouble, regain the lost territory, and prove that he is not guilty, and it is the Hu people who slander him." But he didn't show up. In the eyes of the people of the world, even if Shen Chen is really innocent at this time, the people of the world will not trust Shen Chen, right? ”

"Yes."

Chen Fuzi and Li Fuzi had sluggish throats and could barely speak.

Li Fuzi said: "Later, Shen Chen went back. But it's the middle of autumn. Daqin was greatly damaged in that war, and the people were displaced and mourned. Shen Chen went back, he was arrested and put in the prison, Dali Temple Shaoqing and the military department squire took over the case, tortured him, asked him to truthfully explain how to collude with the Hu people, and found out that the reason why the Hu people were able to capture the city of Daqin so quickly was that Shen Chen leaked the military defense map. ”

Lin Xi couldn't help but say, "That's a trick!" ”

Li Fuzi and Chen Fuzi looked at her.

Lin Xi's voice was cold: "I have diagnosed and treated Shen Chen, and he has a lot of old injuries on his body!" His leg...... It was also interrupted at that time! They didn't want to try the case at all, they just wanted to try the result they wanted! ”

Chen Fuzi asked, "Lin Xi, do you think Shen Chen is a person who will be tortured into a move?" ”

Lin Xi was stunned, "...... No. ”

Chen Fuzi said: "I once asked someone to see Shen Chen's offering paper, and the handwriting is indeed his." ”

"What?!" Lin Xi got up in shock, "This is impossible!" Shen Chen didn't do those things, he wouldn't admit it! ”

Chen Fuzi smiled bitterly: "Whether he is a person who can recognize him, no one cares about this." The final result was that Shen Chen personally wrote the confession and signed it, admitting that the tragic death of tens of thousands of troops at Yanmen Pass and the capture of Qin by the Hu people were caused by his collaboration with the enemy and treason. ”

"Then Taizu ordered Shen Chen to be executed." Li Fuzi took Chen Fuzi's words.

Since then, Shen Chen has changed in the hearts of the people from a great hero who defended his family and defended the country to a wicked person who caused their family to be ruined and displaced.

The people spat on him, cursed him, and hated him for going to the eighteen levels of hell and not dying well.

Even beheading him for public display felt that it was too cheap for him.

When the people's anger was extreme, the people even made a book of the people and beat the drums, crying that Shen Chen would be punished with a thousand knives in order to relieve their anger.

Listening to their words, Lin Xi suddenly lost his strength and sat down on the stone bench.

She stared blankly, but she didn't know what she was looking at.

She only shook her head, slowly shaking her head, and finally suddenly came back to her senses: "Impossible! Shen Chen must have a hard time! ”

Chen Fuzi said: "You have only known him for three years, he is a husband and wife, and he has never told you and Pan, why do you trust him so much?" But all the people who heard the general of Zhenguo scolded him. ”

"I am not a people, I am his wife!" Lin Xi choked up and said, "He won't lie to me." When I asked him before, he told me the truth. The only time he lied to me was because he wanted me to return to Ruyang safely, so that I could make a deal with Yi Hong. ”

Lin Xi looked up at the two masters and said, "Among them, there are obviously so many doubts!" If Taizu ordered him to be executed, why could he still live to the palace change? ”

"That's because, before his sentence has arrived, the palace change has already happened." Li Fuzi said.

"When Taizu ordered the execution, it was the beginning of October in the middle of autumn. However, in November, Taizu vomited blood and fell into a coma. At that time, the officials learned that Taizu had been seriously injured during the imperial expedition, but they kept it secret for fear that the news would spread and the people's hearts would be unstable. Later, he was overworked in dealing with state affairs, and he didn't have time to heal, so Taizu's time was short. ”

"But what I never expected was that the ambition of the five princes at that time was actually in control of the capital when Taizu was personally driving, and he even took advantage of Taizu's serious illness to seize the throne, which led to the Xuanwumen Palace change."

"When there is a palace change, everyone is in danger, who can take care of Shen Chen? If it weren't for the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the military department at that time to protect Taizong, the prime minister Zong Lao would have turned the tide at the cost of his life, but he was afraid that Taizong would not be able to solve the palace chaos and ascend the throne smoothly. ”

Master Chen nodded: "That's right." In that palace change, there were countless casualties, and Taizong was unable to rectify the government and the opposition. After settling down, Taizong claimed that Shen Chen had died in the palace change. probably didn't want to change again, after all, Daqin at that time couldn't withstand any more tosses. ”
