"Okay, before I die, I'll let you, old thief, say a few more words!" Ye Yongjia still opened his red eyes, deliberately put on a fierce look, and slowly sat down in front of him.
Compared with this extreme anger, Liu Zhennian was extremely calm. Under the bright light of the fire, his thin face seemed to be burned hot, showing the grooves all over his cheeks; when he raised his head, he looked at
Older and deeper, with a certain melancholy color that is unforgettable.
"If it hadn't happened back then..." Liu Zhennian said tiredly, running a finger across the cracks in the wooden table, "I know you can't forget it, and I don't want to say hypocritical words, apologize to you, or
I'm looking for an excuse or something... But I really want to ask you, is this really the only reason why you hate me so much? Please tell me, Mr. Ye, so that I can die more thoroughly."
"Of course," Ye Yongjia's mood calmed down a lot, but his cold tone did not change at all, "How did your Liu gang form a clique for personal gain and poison the world? Isn't it you who knows best?"
When Ye Yongjia said this, he was startled for a moment. Yes, since he was young, he had constantly heard people around him criticizing the Liu Party and calling Liu Zhennian an out-and-out traitor.
Everything he did was just to seize power and usurp the throne and bring the world into chaos
It's a mess. Although his attitude has always been dubious, he has indeed seen that the New Deal presided over by Niu Yuan, Yan Wen, etc. has harmed the people, and he believes from the bottom of his heart that since so many people are sparing no effort to resist him, it means that those who
Rumors are by no means groundless.
"Me?" Liu Zhennian smiled bitterly, "How do I know? The person who made up these words knows best."
"According to your words, of course you are innocent. If it was all a frame-up, how could you end up alone and helpless today?"
"The 'Qingliu' people can be said to have countless followers. Could it be that they..." Liu Zhennian rolled his eyelids and looked at him, "are they what people want?"
Ye Yongjia held his chin and turned his head away with disdain: "They have done several evil things to oppose dissenters, but at least they have some humanity. It's not like you suppressing discussion and killing people..."
"Let me ask you to look at something." Liu Zhennian asked Gui Fu to step aside. He dragged his old body to stand up, took a small candle, went to the bookcase and took a detailed photo, starting from a thick book.
He pulled out a piece of yellowed letter paper from among the old books, opened it, and slapped it on the wooden table.
"What is this?" Ye Yongjia pulled a corner of the letter paper, not knowing whether to read it or not, and asked with a frown.
Liu Zhennian sat down again: "This is the secret letter Wan Heshun once wrote to me. Didn't the 'Qingliu' people collude with him? Master Ye, take a good look and see what this loyal minister who is famous at home and abroad is doing.
Said it to me."
After hearing this, Ye Yongjia moved the letter paper in front of him with doubts. He saw that the words on it were still clear, but there were only a few wrinkles.
He took a deep breath, looked closer, and recited silently: "Wan Heshun, king of Jiankang County, bowed his head and said: 'Gong Liu has now defeated the Southern Barbarians and has great prestige. How can the position of prime minister be justified? The royal family is declining, and the country is in trouble.
It's better to just change your surname to comfort the officials all over the world.
The heart of the people. There are many generals under their command, and there are more than ten thousand capable ministers and good generals. Isn't it shameful to make them bend their knees under a weak master? If Gong Guo can ascend the throne, He Shun should go to celebrate in person, kneel down to worship, and treat him as the Duke's family.
Slave, the history of history is also passed down, the glory of the ages! The humble ministers nodded again and again.'"
Ye Yongjia put down the letter and suddenly felt a coldness all over his body, and his eyes were empty. How could he believe that the two people who seemed incompatible on the surface had such a chilling story hidden behind them. It seemed that in this court, not only
Virtue is a tool used to disguise, as well as character, political opinions, and even the relationship with the enemy party. All things that can be called real can be hidden or even directly eliminated.
"Why do you think they hate me?" Liu Zhennian stared into his eyes, "They don't regard me as a traitor, but as a stumbling block on the road to fame. Only by removing me can they be promoted one by one.
Get rich, live a drunken life and die in dreams. But what if I follow them in everything? Then they will come to praise me and persuade me to end this rule as soon as possible. Don't think too much, the one I hate is the current emperor."
"Why are you willing to show this to me?" Ye Yongjia held the letter in his trembling hands, stared at the red wick, and asked Liu Zhennian beside him.
"Because I know you," Liu Zhennian wanted to look at him with concern, but thinking about it now, he had to lower his head gradually, "You can not act according to other people's eyes, and you can work hard to change the bad government.
Go up. You have never been willing to join in the same trend. This letter may be of great use to you."
Ye Yongjia squeezed the letter paper tightly, blinked a few more times, raised his head, and there was a layer of tears in his eyes, which were particularly bright in front of the flames. But he would not say anything more, just turned his back to him and said to him.
A wave of hands from outside was regarded as farewell to him.
"Come here, take the traitors Liu Zhennian and Gui Fu out and wait until they are punished!"
After saying that, two soldiers walked into the hall, took Liu Zhennian's arms and walked out.
"For the rest, go into the house, search, find a box, and pack all the documents and evidence. They will be sent to the Ministry of Justice today!" Shi Xiushen shouted, dispatching all his soldiers, and then turned around to ask Ye Yongjia: "
What did the old thief say to you?"
"What can I say to him?" Liu Zhennian wiped away his tears and said, "I have to kill this old dog to satisfy my wish. But he gave me a letter. It was Wan Heshun.
Evidence of collusion.”
A look of surprise flashed across Shi Xiushen's face, and then he pressed the sword on his waist and let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect that on the surface, this guy acted like he was loyal to the royal family, but secretly he was brothers with the enemy. How shameless! Chen
How can a minister say that he has a clear relationship with such people?"
Ye Yongjia then said: "Because of this, I want the world to see the faces of these honorable men clearly. This letter is very important and must be presented to the emperor and announced to the world!"
Shi Xiu Shen said worriedly: "I'm afraid... it will be in vain after all. The emperor's thoughts are different from Tinglong's. If he is frustrated, the consequences will be disastrous."
Ye Yongjia's reaction was extremely resolute and his words were passionate: "Even if I am stripped of my official uniform, I still have to accomplish such a big thing! Don't worry, Shi Sijin, I am not afraid of dying alone. I am afraid that if the government continues to be so messy, it will really happen."
