Chapter 20 Homecoming
The enemy repeatedly committed crimes, and it happened that Ye Qing's mother died of illness. My heart was very sad. Ye Qing's third year of filial piety was changed to three months, his third month of filial piety was changed to three days, and his third day of filial piety was changed to three points. .I feel deeply for you, and I will give you a gold medal to avoid death, so that I will never be punished!"
Ye Ningyu has not finished reciting the imperial edict in her hand, and her voice has become hoarse. But if the prince wants to listen, she can keep reading. Now, Fang Yanqing, who went to the border to investigate, has not returned yet, and she has no evidence to reveal the true identity of King Yong and the prince. , they can only let the people of Dadu speak for them. "Which of these sentences was not spoken by the emperor himself? Which decree was not given by his majesty himself? But Prince, it is unkind to kill a general without knowing the facts. It is unkind to insist on taking action without respecting the imperial edict. Loyalty. It is unjust to personally lead the troops to the expedition but let two generals die in front of them. Every incident, the prince did not check and reflect on himself, but instead reprimanded the female family members of the Ye family. What is the truth? Could it be that this is our loyal minister and good general of the Yu Kingdom? What’s the fate of those soldiers who went to the border without fear of life and death?”
Ye Ningyu stood there tall and straight, holding the imperial decree in his hand and asking questions. Every word was passed into the ears of the people who were watching. Yes, many of their husbands and children were also on the battlefield. If those in power treated them like this Loyal people, who will go through life and death for the emperor in the future, who will go to the battlefield when the country recruits troops. At this moment, they can't wait to get their husbands and sons back immediately. They don't want any military pay or glory. Survival is the most important thing! " Ye Ningyu, you are so presumptuous!"
The prince was also angry. He was annoyed that Ye Ning was so unscrupulous in her words that she actually said such treasonous words in public. He even hated her for being bold enough to criticize him like this. The prince's authority was no longer needed! "Come here!" Put her..." "Your Highness!"
Before the prince's order was given, a few more people were seen walking out of the crowd. The leader was a young woman, followed by a young man and several maids. Gu Zhen'er's face was full of tears, and she supported herself and knelt in front of the prince. The prince had a head. The two eldest and general daughters both like to pester people! The previous one has not been settled yet, and now another one is coming! "Miss Gu, why are you here? General Gu's body was sent to the house by Gu Hui. Look at you! I'm pregnant. Please get up quickly. I hope you can express my condolences."
Although he was impatient, Gu Hong was not a national thief after all, so he was naturally gentle and considerate towards his daughter, the Crown Prince. "General Ye has been fighting with his father for many years. General Ye is an upright man, and my daughter does not believe that he can be a national thief."
Gu Zhen'er said. The prince cursed in his heart, what a nosy woman. Her own father is dead, yet she still cares about so many things. But he didn't show it on his face and said gently. "General Gu's body is still here, Gu Young lady, please take care of your father’s funeral first.”
"My father has been a military general all his life and has great loyalty. Now the two generals have returned to the capital on the same day. If General Ye is really a traitor to the country, that's all. But if not, my father will not bear General Ye staying alone in Dali Temple. Besides, I vow to find out who my father is. The truth behind his death. Otherwise, this old man will never rest in peace!"
Gu Zhen'er held back tears. These truths were told by Ye Ningyu when she came to see her a few days ago. Gu Zhen'er knew her father very well, and she knew that Ye Ningyu was right. Only today, she endured the pain and pain in her heart. Feeling unwell, he and the eldest daughter of the Ye family blocked the prince's driving. "You!..." The prince wanted to say something, but was too angry to say it. The crowd saw the two generals' daughters appearing at the same time, and listened to the eldest daughter Gu personally speaking. General Ye said good things. In addition to admiring the general's tiger girl, he also believed in Ye Yongchang's character. Otherwise, how could Miss Gu excuse her father's enemy? Seeing that the prince was silent, Ye Ningyu said, "I have been enthroned for twenty years now." In six years, my father received one hundred and eight orders. Among them, seventy were for expeditions and thirty were for commendations. His Majesty once praised him as an example of loyalty to the emperor. How could such a person be treasonous?"
After Ye Ningyu finished speaking, she couldn't stop crying and howling. She wanted most people to know that Ye Yongchang, the Marquis of Anqi and the general of Zhenbei, was not a military general as the traitors said, let alone a "national traitor" according to the cold imperial decree. He
He was once the humerus general whom the incompetent emperor relied on, the pillar of the country who protected the people, and the innocent soul of a loyal minister who was framed! She wanted to take her father home! After Ye Ningyu died, the children of the Ye family were already heartbroken. The man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
, her eyes seemed to be dripping with blood. The girl burst into tears and sobbed. "Please, the prince, investigate the case thoroughly, and General Xu Ye goes home!"
Ye Ningyu did not kneel down. She looked up at the prince on the horse and said loudly with tears in her eyes. "Prince, please investigate this case thoroughly. General Xu Ye will go home!"
The children of the Ye family said in unison, "Please, the prince, investigate this case thoroughly and allow General Ye to go home!"
"General Ye is a good man!"
In the crowd, some people knelt down and shouted in unison. This is... public opinion! The prince suddenly understood why Ye Ningyu was making a fuss here. He could ignore the Ye family, but he could not ignore the kneeling people in the city.
.Moreover, when he won the battle, he wanted to establish a good image of being considerate of the people's sentiments! "Quickly, return to the palace and report to His Majesty!"
In the crowd, a tall man looked at Ye Ningyu, who was looking at the prince. He felt relieved and admired her greatly. She had an injury in her lower abdomen. It had only been a few days and she must not have recovered. Now that she is so tormented,
I'm afraid I'm going to suffer. "Send someone to find out what happened in the battle at Gray Wolf Mountain. Also, send this letter back to Southern Tang."
He lowered his voice and spoke to a plain-headed man next to him. The man took the letter and quickly walked out of the crowd. Bai Chengzhi's eyes were a little complicated. There might be something fishy about the death of the two generals of Yu State. Liang people have always been treacherous.
If such treacherous tactics are used to dismantle the Yu State and alienate the monarch and his ministers, the Yu State will inevitably be in turmoil. Although the facts have not been found out, Bai Chengzhi has to make some plans. In the near future, envoys from the Liang State will go to the Southern Tang Dynasty to discuss matters. He wants to remind your majesty,
Be careful and don't be deceived by Liang Ren's appearance. Bai Chengzhi's eyes fell on Ye Ningyu again, and a trace of blood could be seen faintly oozing from her lower abdomen. He frowned slightly, thinking a lot, and could vaguely feel the inside of that thin body.
Hidden with huge energy. The woman in front of him is not simple. In the palace, Emperor Yu listened to the words of the guards, his face became more and more gloomy. "Bastard! Bastard!"
Emperor Yu really relied on Ye Yongchang, and was very dissatisfied with the fact that the prince beheaded him so easily. But the prince was the crown prince, and the Ye family's legitimate daughter actually asked the prince three times in front of the people and said arrogant words! He is an emperor, but he still needs face! "
Arrest them, arrest them all!”
A father-in-law next to Emperor Yu stepped forward and whispered softly, "Your Majesty, the Ye family is so audacious that they should be severely punished. But now I, Yu, have lost two generals. If most of the people continue to complain, your Majesty may have to leave the border."
Worry. Today's matter is where to place the body of the national traitor. No matter whether it is Dali Temple or Ye Mansion, the people around will not be alive. Emperor Yu looked at Eunuch Liu, thoughtfully. "You mean Yun?"
The Ye family? Eunuch Liu knelt down and said, "It all depends on your Majesty. I dare not say anything."
Soon, the emperor's decree came, allowing the Ye family to take Ye Yongchang back to the house. When the prince heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. If his father refused, he would still have to tangle with Ye Ningyu. For the prince,
No matter where Ye Yongchang's body is placed, it will be the same. Anyway, he has achieved military success. However, he is still ready to sell the Ye family a favor. "General Ye has contributed to the country. Miss Ye is sincere in every word. That's right, you guys
Take General Ye back."
After saying this, the prince thought that the Ye family would be grateful to him and knelt down to kowtow. Unexpectedly, Ye Ningyu stood there without saying a word or even making a gesture. The prince felt a fire in his heart, and then
It was difficult to have an attack, so she had to endure it. Ye Ningyu looked at her father's shabby coffin, holding back tears, and said to her younger brothers and sisters behind her. "Aqiu, Ajun, and Jin, the four of you and I will go together and pick up the coffin."
General Ye goes home!"
