Chapter 31 Confrontation

$6 Ye Ningyu ignored the prince and continued reading. "A sergeant reported to the prince that General Ye Yongchang had collaborated with the enemy and treason. The prince ordered someone to search out a letter from General Ye's camp, and compared the handwriting, it was similar to General Ye. The prince immediately ordered the arrest

Ye Yongchang, behead him on the spot."

"Ye Yongchang led more than ten people back to the camp and shouted, 'All sergeants will go out with me to rescue General Gu.' At that time, General Ye's right arm was broken, there was an arrow in his left eye, and he was bleeding. The prince ordered someone to take it down.

General Ye chopped off his head with a knife. That night, Xizuo of Liang sneaked into the camp and pierced the general's throat with a sword in General Gu's camp. Our soldiers found out and captured Xizuo.

The letter of "collaborating with the enemy" was not written by me, but was carefully crafted with the intention of putting blame on the general and alienating the king and ministers of Yu State."

I don’t know how long I have been chanting, but there is silence in the court hall, and you can hear the drop of a needle. "Fake, all fake, you... how dare you frame Gu!"

Listening to Ye Ning's voice describing everything he had done with his own hands, it seemed as if those things happened yesterday. The prince was so frightened that he forgot to think about the march record that he had already destroyed.

It arrived in Ye Ningyu's hand. After reading all the contents, Ye Ningyu closed the marching record and looked at the prince, with a cold face and an indescribable domineering look in his eyes. For a moment, the prince was struck by this momentum.

Shocked. "False? Then may I ask His Highness the Crown Prince, what is real? Is it the marching record His Highness brought back from the border?"

The prince was strong and calm, "That's natural, marching records can be forged."

Ye Ningyu chuckled and asked, "So in the eyes of the prince, something as important as marching records can be forged?"

The prince choked, knowing that he had said something wrong. "I just said that your book was a forgery!"

Ye Ningyu said nothing and looked at the emperor again. "The march record in your hands was written by Mr. Zhang, the historian accompanying this trip. Is it true or false? Please take a look at it."

Ye Ningyu presented it with both hands. Now that she had made the above content public, even if the emperor wanted to hide it for the prince, it would be too late. Eunuch Liu hurriedly ran down, took the thing from Ye Ningyu's hand, and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the march record in his hand, and suddenly his heart tightened. Didn’t the prince say that Liang Guoxi made a surprise attack on the military camp, and the accompanying historian was killed by Liang people in the army? The emperor had strict standards for appointing accompanying historians, and most of them were

Someone whom the Emperor trusts and is very familiar with. Mr. Zhang has followed the Emperor for many years, and the Emperor knows his handwriting. Every word on every page is Mr. Zhang’s handwriting. Moreover, except for stains on this march record

, there were still blood stains, and it seemed that it had gone through several twists and turns before it got into his hands. Suddenly, the emperor looked at the son in front of him and felt a sense of fear. He was not afraid that the prince would not have military merit, nor was he afraid that he would kill him and get away with it.

Ye Yongchang, who died with a gold medal. But if he is innocent and he cheats on his loyal ministers, it will chill the hearts of his ministers. In the future, who will still ride for him, and who will treat him as the king of a country! The prince lowered his head, not daring to speak straight.

Looking at the emperor's eyes, the Queen Mother's majestic and angry voice sounded again, "The march records can be forged, but the accompanying historians can also forge them?"

The old lady sat there, like an iceberg. "What...what?"

The prince had rarely seen such a majestic empress dowager, and when he heard the empress dowager mention the historian, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came over him. "Lord Xuan Zhang!"

The Queen Mother said. Soon, another figure entered the hall. His beard and hair were a little white, his face was full of vicissitudes, his eyes were bloodshot but he still had hope. This was an old man who had experienced life and death, and he was also a loyal minister.

But in these days, he was a little confused, wondering whether his loyalty was worth it. "Old Chen Zhang Wenxiu meets your Majesty!"

The historian knelt down and kowtowed in front of the main hall. The prince beside him couldn't help but step back as if he had seen a ghost. He clearly asked someone to kill him, so why did this person still appear here? Did they fail? The emperor's eyes

He looked straight at Zhang Wenxiu, who was kneeling in front of him, and was surprised. It had only been half a year since he had been to the border. Why was he so different from before the expedition? He seemed to be ten years older! He was not yet fifty. The emperor felt increasingly uneasy.

It was obvious, but his expression remained unchanged. "Get up and speak."

Zhang Wenxiu stood up with tears streaming down his face. "I am here to accompany the army to compile history in the name of Your Majesty. In the battle of Gray Wolf Mountain, our army narrowly defeated Liang Jun at the cost of 60,000 troops dying at Tianguan. The reasons are all like Miss Ye."

I will not repeat what I said. But I did not expect that I, a small accompanying historian, would actually make the prince work so hard to threaten his life several times."

At this point, Zhang Wenxiu knelt down again and grabbed the ground with his head. "After the prince killed General Ye, he ordered the old minister to destroy the marching records. The old minister remembered your majesty's instructions before leaving and recorded them truthfully, and did not dare to obey. The prince

He was so angry that he personally put the march records into the fire and burned them. But His Majesty knew that whenever the veteran accompanied the army, he would make two copies of the march records in case of emergencies. The prince did not know about this. The night before setting off from the border, the prince ordered the veteran to

The deputy imitated the handwriting and rushed to make a marching record overnight, and also sent people to secretly assassinate the old minister. Fortunately, the old minister was lucky enough to escape the disaster. He waited until the prince left before he dared to return to the capital. Forgery

I don’t know the contents of this, but I heard a few things yesterday. I swear, the truth is absolutely not the case.”

Zhang Wenxiu said with unbearable grief and indignation, and everyone was stunned when they heard this. This...the prince actually forged the march records? He also sent people to assassinate the historian?! "No! No! The march records brought back by Gu are true. If they were forged, it was you.

Forgery, your deputy can testify!"

There was blood in the prince's eyes, and he did not give up his struggle. They had mouths, and he also had a mouth. The handwriting on the marching record was the same, so how could he prove that the one he had in his hand was a forgery? The prince didn't believe it.

The father would have more trust in this person than his son. But the ministers were suspicious. The prince said that Zhang Wenxiu's marching records were forged. He had to forge himself. This... was unnecessary... Zhang Wenxiu finally raised his head,

He looked at the emperor with tears on his face. "Your Majesty, my late mother's surname is Guan. Whenever there is the word 'Guan' in my writing, I will subtract one stroke from the first two strokes. This has been my habit for many years, and you know it, Your Majesty."

"

Zhang Wenxiu did not take part in the imperial examination until he was thirty years old, and won the tenth place in the second class. Later he entered the Hanlin Academy, starting from compilation, and gradually rose to the third rank Hanlin bachelor. No matter whether it was court disputes or factional fights, he never

He stood in line. The emperor valued his stability and character and asked him to accompany the army to write history three years ago. No emperor did not value history books. Although they were military histories, they had to be handed over to people he trusted extremely. At that time, the emperor made it clear to Zhang Wenxiu

, the pen in his hand was only responsible to the emperor. Because of this, Zhang Wenxiu dared to sternly refuse when the prince put the knife on his neck. Of course, the prince did not know all this. If

After a little investigation into Zhang Wenxiu, he realized that not everyone could be the historian. The blame was that the prince underestimated Zhang Wenxiu's status with the emperor, and the prince himself had no credible person who could advise him. Zhang Wenxiu avoided telling his biological mother.

The emperor knew the habit of tabooing names. The emperor also knew that since Zhang Wenxiu could say these words, he must not be afraid of confrontation on the spot. If Zhang Wenxiu has no problem, then the one who has the problem is the prince. Eunuch Liu has a bright mind and has taken the prince with him long ago.

He brought up the march record that he had returned and compared the two copies. Sure enough, in the copy that Ye Ningyu submitted, the character "Guan" was missing one stroke. In the copy of the prince's copy, the strokes of the character "Guan" were intact. The emperor could conclude that
