Chapter 253: A Strange Secret Fold
When Xie Wenzai returned to Hai's house, it was already dark.
When the ancestors of the Hai family heard the news, they came to the front yard with their audit notes to find him.
Today he stayed in front of the town for a day and gained a lot of news.
Whether it was Zhang Pinggui, who was in the Zhenguo Mansion, or Wang Laoliu, who was imprisoned in the Yada Prison of Chang'an Mansion, they all told more information under the toss of the interrogation masters. Zhen Guogong can still calm down, but Huang Zhifu has no intention of waiting any longer. He immediately drafted a secret fold and prepared to send it to the capital. Wait until he reviews more information later, and then write a second transcript to supplement it.
Huang Zhifu, as the emperor's confidant in Chang'an, I don't know if it is considering that Chang'an now needs the prince of Zhenguo to sit in charge of the overall situation, and Du Boqin is too sinister and has broken a certain principle since he took office. After completing the manuscript, he did not copy the original manuscript and sent it directly to Beijing, but quietly took the manuscript to the Zhenguo Mansion, showed it to the Zhenguo Prince, and asked the other party to pick out the inappropriate words.
This is definitely an unprecedented overture.
Zhen Guogong also gave Huang Zhifu a lot of face, so he only changed an inconsequential word meaningfully, and returned the draft to the other party.
Originally, he had no intention of going against the emperor, but the needs of the northwest border army were placed there, and the war between the Great Chu and the Hu people could not be tolerated politely, so he did many things that made the emperor in the capital dissatisfied. But Zhen Guogong thinks that he is completely for the people of the country, the court, and the royal family, and is loyal to the royal family, with a clear conscience.
The emperor has never been to the border pass in his life, and he doesn't know what kind of life the soldiers and civilians at the border pass live, let alone how cruel the war is, so he will worry about some meaningless side matters. If it was in a peaceful year, Zhen Guogong would not mind teaching the emperor carefully. But the two countries of Chu and Hu have fought intermittently for decades, and the number of times he can spare time to return to Beijing to face the saint can be counted on one hand, and the longest stay is only a month, what can he teach the emperor? No matter how much he says and how detailed he is, if the emperor doesn't listen, it makes no sense.
The Zhou family has a queen mother in the palace, and a marquis of Cheng'en has been stationed in the capital for a long time. If the emperor was interested in knowing the situation at the northwest border, someone could answer him. However, the emperor concentrated on the reform of the law, and focused his main energy on the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River, and was indifferent to the military and civilians in the northwest. As long as the northwest can pay taxes on time and in quantity, and there is no change in the border army, he will not ask more, and the Zhou family will toss. Zhenguo Gong has long had no expectations for the emperor.
Since Governor Huang took office, he can be said to have done his best to the people under his rule, and he can get along well with the border army. Zhen Guogong and a group of border soldiers still respect him very much. He is willing to show goodwill, and the Zhenguo Gong will naturally appreciate it. As for what method Huang Zhifu planned to use to report to the emperor about the recent events in Chang'an City, he did not intend to interfere more.
In fact, Zhen Guogong felt that the secret fold of the Huang Governor's Mansion was very well written, which should make the emperor clearly realize that what the Sun family had done had seriously hurt the country and could no longer be connived up.
Haijiao heard Xie Wenzai say this, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What did Huang Zhifu write in the secret fold?" ”
Xie Wenzai told him and the ancestors and grandsons of Haixi Ya, and the Huang Governor's Mansion described in detail the occurrence and solving of the Jin family's murder case in the secret fold, involving Du Boqin, the commander of the border army who hid the killer, and mentioned that the killers who were caught all coincidentally confessed to Sun Yongbai, the main messenger behind the scenes, and also made it clear that the killer's confession claimed that Sun Yongbai was ordered by Sun Guifei to attack the Jin family, and Sun Yongbai was ordered by Sun Yongping to conspire with Du Boqin in an attempt to plot against many generals in Chang'an. To sow discord between the Northwest Frontier Army and the imperial court.
But when he wrote this, Huang Zhifu turned his pen and did not mention that Sun Ge Lao had a plot against the Zhou family's military power, but began to question Du Boqin's intentions. He claimed that he had found evidence that could prove that Du Boqin had been secretly embezzling military funds, privately raising thugs, and installing eyes and ears in the homes of many generals of the Northwest Frontier Army, as if he was secretly inquiring about the military situation at the border gates.
Du Boqin's approach is not so much that he is the son-in-law of the Zhou family and obeys the orders of the Zhou family to commit rebellion, but rather that he is more like deceiving the daughter of the Zhou family, forcing people to death early in order to prevent her from leaking secrets, and then plotting against the identity of the son-in-law of the Zhou family.
Governor Huang considered his identity suspicious. Although he was born and raised in Chang'an City, and his life trajectory since he was born is clear, it is also possible that he was bought by the Hu people and became a spy of the enemy country. Otherwise, why would he secretly plot a conspiracy to harm the young outstanding sons of the Northwest General? His attempt to sow discord among the generals in Chang'an will only lead to civil strife in the Northwest Frontier Army. And who will benefit then?
Considering that Chu and Hu have just signed a peace treaty, there will be no major war for several years, and the Hu State is in turmoil, and the two factions of the new Khan and Wang Shu are fighting to the death. It is likely that the Hu people wanted to use the conspiracy to provoke civil strife within the Great Chu during the peaceful years, kill the talents in the army, and weaken the strength of the Great Chu army. In this way, when the situation in Hu State calms down, and the army is sent to attack Chu again, the Great Chu army will not be able to beat them back with the strongest combat power as it did in previous years!
Huang Zhifu wrote four large pieces of paper so freely, and only mentioned the Sun family who sent the murderer in the front, as if he had forgotten them, and did not say a word, but talked about the possibility of Du Boqin being bought by the Hu people.
When Haixi Cliff and Haijiao first listened to Xie Wenzai's retelling, they all felt confused, and they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Huang Zhifu's gourd. Although Huang Zhifu is not as famous as Xie Wenzai when he was young, he is also a serious second-class jinshi, and it is impossible to write a piece of music in a daze. What does he mean by writing this?
And after Zhen Guogong read the draft, he still thinks he writes very well?
Haixi Cliff was silent, and Haijiao had already spoken his question first.
Xie Wenzai said with a smile: "I haven't seen what Lord Huang's secret fold to the emperor was like in the past, but I still understand the meaning of this secret fold." Lord Huang had already written the facts in the secret compromise first, and the emperor would naturally have some speculations and conjectures, so he did not need to draw conclusions. Of course, it is impossible for Du Boqin to collude with the Hu people, but what he did was harmful to Da Chu, and the emperor should know the seriousness of the matter. No matter how much he dotes on the Sun family, he can't gamble with Jiangshan Sheji. Since the Sun family did not care about the people of the country for their own interests, and even did not hesitate to shake the foundation of the country, if the emperor still knew that he was the king of a country, he should take action to stop them from continuing to do evil! ”
Haijiao suddenly realized and looked at Haixi Cliff, and the latter also figured it out: "Although Governor Huang did not sue the Sun family, just by stating the facts, it is no different from a complaint. ”
This way of complaining may be more suitable for the emperor's preferences, right? He has always disliked that others speak ill of the Sun family, as if anyone attacking the Sun family is slapping him in the face.
Xie Wenzai suffered this kind of loss in his early years, and he is still impressed!
Hai Jiao asked him, "This time the emperor should punish the Sun family, right?" Even if Sun Guifei and Sun Ge Lao are not moved, other children of the Sun family, such as Sun Yongping and Sun Yongbai mentioned in the secret fold, should also be punished, right? ”
Xie Wenzai suddenly fell silent and did not answer.
Hai Xiya sighed: "How easy is it? Sun Yongping...... But Sun Ge Lao's only son! ”
Sun Yongping is the only son of Sun Gelao, the brother of Sun Guifei, and the father of the princess of King Ji, how could the Sun family push him out to take the blame?!
Hai Jiao was a little unimpressed.
What about the son of Sun Ge Lao? When the Sun family fell, he didn't escape, and it was just up to the people sitting on the throne to decide.
