Chapter Ninety-Four: Pressing the Nail and Strings (6)
"It's okay, before you die, let the old thief say a few more words!" Ye Yongjia still had his reddened eyes open, deliberately put on a fierce look, and slowly sat down in front of him.
Compared with this extreme anger, it is Liu Zhennian's extreme calm. In the light of the fire, his thin face seemed to be burned, revealing the furrows and ravines that were all over his cheeks; As soon as I looked up, I looked older and deeper, with a certain melancholy color, which was unforgettable.
"If it hadn't been for the past...... Liu Zhennian said tiredly, a finger scratching through the crack of the wooden table, "I know you can't forget, and I don't want to say something hypocritical, apologize to you, or make an excuse or something...... But I'd love to ask you, is this really the only reason why you've always hated me so much? Ask Lord Ye to tell me that I will die a thorough death. ”
"Of course," Ye Yongjia's mood calmed down a lot, but his cold tone did not change at all, "How did you Liu Dang form a party for personal gain and poison the world, isn't it you who knows best?" ”
When he said this, Ye Yongjia was stunned. That's right, since he was young, he has constantly heard people around him criticize Liu Dang, scolding Liu Zhennian as an out-and-out traitor, everything he does is just to seize power and usurp the throne and make a mess of the world. Although his attitude has always been half-convinced, he has indeed seen the new policies presided over by Niu Yuan and Yan Wen harm the people, and he believes from the bottom of his heart that since so many people have spared no effort to resist him, it shows that those rumors are by no means groundless.
"Me?" Liu Zhennian smiled bitterly, "Where do I know?" The one who made up these words knows best. ”
"According to your words, of course you are innocent. If it was all frame-up, how could you be reduced to the point where you are isolated today? ”
"The 'clear streams' can be said to be like a cloud. Could it be that they ......" Liu Zhennian rolled his eyelids and looked at him, "is what the people want?" ”
Ye Yongjia held his chin and turned his head disdainfully: "They have done a few evil things that the party is fighting against, but at least they have a little bit of humanity. It's not like you to suppress discussion, and kill people like ......"
"I'll show you something." Liu Zhennian asked Gui Fu to step aside, dragged his old body to stand up, took a small piece of candle, went to the bookcase and took a detailed look at it, took out a yellowed letter paper from the middle of a heavy old book, opened it, and slapped it on the wooden table.
"What is this?" Ye Yongjia pulled the corner of the letter, didn't know whether to read it or not, and asked with a frown.
Liu Zhennian sat down again: "This is the secret letter that Wan Heshun once wrote to me. Didn't the 'clear streams' collude with him? Lord Ye took a good look and saw what this famous and loyal minister had to say to me. ”
Ye Yongjia listened, moved the letter in front of him with doubts, and saw that the words on it were quite clear, but there were a few wrinkles.
He took a deep breath, looked closer, and read silently: "Wang Wan and Shun of Jiankang County bowed to him: 'Liu Gong has broken the Southern Barbarians today, and his prestige is very high, what a good way to be the prime minister!'" The royal family is in decline, and the society is difficult to revitalize, so it is better to change the surname to comfort the hearts of the officials and people in the world. The generals are like clouds, and there are tens of thousands of good generals, so that they will bend their knees under the weak lord, is it not shameful? If Gongguo can ascend the throne, he should go to celebrate in person, bow down to worship, even if he is a slave of the public family, he will also pass on the history, and the glory of the ages! Wechen paused repeatedly. ’”
Ye Yongjia put down the letter, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and his eyes were empty. How dare he believe that the two people who are incompatible on the surface hide such a chilling story behind them. It seems that in this court, not only virtue is a tool used for disguise, but also character, political opinions, and even the relationship with the enemy party, all kinds of things that can be called real can be hidden, or even directly annihilated.
"Why do you think they hate me?" Liu Zhennian stared at his eyes, "They don't treat me as a traitor, but as a stumbling block on the road to fame, and remove me so that they can be promoted one by one to get rich and get drunk." But what if I go with them in all my doing? Then they will come and sing praises and persuade me to end the reign of this dynasty early. Don't think about it, the one who hates it is the current emperor. ”
"Why are you willing to show me this?" Ye Yongjia pinched the letter with a trembling hand, stared at the reddened wick, and asked Liu Zhennian beside him.
"Because the old man knows you," Liu Zhennian wanted to look at him with concern, but when he thought of it now, he had to gradually lower his head, "You can not follow the eyes of others, and you can go up desperately in order to change the maladministration." You have never wanted to be part of it, and this epistle may be of great use to you. ”
Ye Yongjia clenched the letter paper, blinked his eyes a few more times, raised his head, and a layer of tears appeared on his eyes, which was extremely transparent in front of the flames. But he didn't say anything more, just turned his back to him, waved his hand outside, and it was considered a farewell to him.
"Come on, escort the traitors Liu Zhennian and Gui Fu out, and wait for the fate!"
After saying that, the two soldiers walked up to the hall, grabbed Liu Zhennian's arm, and walked out.
"For the rest, go into the house and search, find a box, pack all the paperwork and evidence, and send it to the Criminal Department today!" Shi Xiu shouted cautiously and dispatched all his soldiers before he stepped out and asked Ye Yongjia: "What did the old thief say to you?" ”
"What can I say to him?" Liu Zhennian wiped his tears and sighed, "This old dog, killing it is enough for me." However, he gave me a letter, which is evidence of Wan Heshun's collusion with him. ”
A look of surprise flashed on Shi Xiushen's face, and then he pressed the sword on his waist and let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect that this guy is a loyal royal family on the surface, but secretly he calls the enemy brothers, it's really shameless!" Chen Shangshu intersected with such people, how could he say a clear stream? ”
Ye Yongjia then said: "It is precisely because of this that I want the world to see the faces of these righteous men and gentlemen. This letter is very important, and it must be presented to the Son of Heaven and proclaimed to the world! ”
Shi Xiushen said worriedly: "I'm afraid this is ...... It's all in vain. The emperor's mind is different from Tinglong's, and if he is frustrated, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Ye Yongjia's reaction was extremely resolute, and his words were passionate: "Even if I am stripped of this official uniform, I will do such a big thing!" Shi Siban rest assured, I'm not afraid of dying alone, I'm afraid that if the government and government continue to be so muddy, it will really be dark! ”
