312 Reversal(1/2)

Han Zhanghe's eyes widened, and he raised his head suddenly, and his mind buzzed.

A fiery flame ignited in his eyes again, which contained a huge amount of hatred. He raised his thin chin and gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Ce surrendered to the enemy and opened the city gate, causing tens of thousands of soldiers to die in vain. How can he compare with each other!"

He misunderstood Miss Gu Er, and he admitted it; but Gu Ce's crime is known to everyone in the world, and the world is proved, so how could the eldest prince erase it in just a few words!

Father is father, daughter is daughter!

The other students behind him also felt the same, nodded, with the same indignation written on their faces.

The students looked indignant, but Chu Yi still smiled calmly and asked, "Who has seen him?"

Nine years ago, after the Nanyue army captured Tailing City, Yangzhou, it slaughtered for three days.

All the soldiers of Dajing who participated in the war were killed in battle and buried alive. The people in Tailing City were also empty, and the corpses were everywhere.

The students present and the onlookers outside heard that the smell of blood over Tailing City had not dissipated for a long time, and crows flew around in groups.

But now the eldest prince asked, who has seen him?

This question can be said to be a bit heart-wrenching, and Han Zhanghe and others were speechless for a while.

Chu Yi repeated again: "Without investigation, there is no right to speak."

Chu Yi just said this sentence, and everyone still remembers it.

If he said this before today, it would definitely arouse many people's disgust, especially the students present, who would also write a lot of books and criticize them.

At this moment, they couldn't speak.

Today they followed the eldest prince for a long time, watching him behave as a human being, not the foolish person they thought was deceived by beauty, nor did they become mediocre and weak because they had been a good person in South Vietnam for many years.

Their eldest prince is not only a perfect person who is extremely smart, but also has a ravine in his heart, a ruler in his words and a proper way.

Moreover, the lesson from the Hua family's case is right in front of us.

The students looked at each other, and their defense, which was originally as hard as a city wall, was slightly loose.

Now he is kind-hearted and kind. After a year of ascending the throne, he abolished several miscellaneous taxes and harsh labor. He also supported the academy and promoted the Sinovac imperial examinations in order to give them the opportunity to show their ambitions.

Unlike the late emperor, he valued those noble families more. Although the imperial examinations were not abolished during the past twenty years of reign, he never valued any poor Jinshi.

As soon as he ascended the throne, he was prosecuted as a magistrate, which was obviously announcing his political views to poor students in the world.

Such an emperor should not only be kind but also a monarch who cares about the world and strives to revitalize.

Since Jin Shang and the eldest prince both felt that there was something hidden when Gu Ce surrendered to the enemy back then, could there be something hidden...

Han Zhanghe took a deep breath, maintained a bowing posture, looked at Chu Yi without a moment, and said seriously: "What certificate does Your Highness have?"

"If there is enough evidence, it's time to make a name clear now." Chu Yi's expression was extremely calm and his tone was quite calm, as if this was a matter of course, and he had no doubt about it at all.

Han Zhanghe heard his voice from Chu Yi's words and asked anxiously: "Dare you asking if your highness has found some clues?"

After saying that, Han Zhanghe was afraid that this was a secret of the court and wanted to say something, but Chu Yi spoke first: "When I was in Yue Kingdom, I accidentally discovered that in the battle in Yangzhou that year, the Yue army openly claimed that it had lost 20,000 soldiers, but in fact, 30,000 people died in battle, and 10,000 people disappeared out of thin air. After the remaining Yue army returned to Yue Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom was ordered to be dismissed by the saint of Yue Kingdom."

A few words made the atmosphere in Wancaotang suddenly become solemn.

As the saying goes: Jin Juren, Yin Jinshi. Only a juren can be produced in several counties, and each juren is a smart person who emerges from thousands of scholars.

Those students present were not stupid people who could read Juren all the way. What's more, their purpose of the imperial examination was to be an official. In the academy, the teacher often talked about the current affairs of the court with them, asking them to analyze and write policy discussions.

The suspicion raised by the eldest prince is indeed strange. They all browsed deeply, showed a deep thought expression, and the same thought came to their minds: Could it be that the saints of Yue Kingdom ordered the Northern Expedition Army of Yue Kingdom to disarm the troops and return to the fields in order to hide the "disappeared" ten thousand Yue troops?

The Gu Ce case was very involved, which was related to tens of thousands of lives and to their face. If there was no such defeat, why did Da Jing need to negotiate peace with Yue State, why did Da Jing bow to Yue State, cut off the sea and pay compensation, and give the eldest prince as a hostage.

For Dajing, this is a humiliating history!

But what if there is an unknown hidden truth behind this case?

Chu Yi continued: "Last year, on my way back to the capital from Yue Kingdom, I personally went to Tailing City. I found a burned battlefield in Shangling, fifteen miles away from Tailing City. However, according to the records left by the Ministry of War, there was no war there that year, and no soldiers and people from Dajing were lost there."

All the students' expressions became more solemn, with a solemn look.

It turned out that the eldest prince had personally visited Tailing City last year to investigate. It was obvious that he had been preparing for the Gu Ce case for a long time and did not intend to do so.

According to the doubts mentioned by the eldest prince, they had to doubt whether the 10,000 people who disappeared from the Vietnamese army died in Shangling.

If this is true, even if it is not a great victory, it will be at least a bloody battle between the two armies.

Since Gu Ce had the determination to fight the Vietnamese army to death, why did he surrender to the enemy? After all, he killed so many Vietnamese army members, it is conceivable that even if he surrendered, he would not have a good end.

Among the students, a young gray-clothed scholar murmured: "Can it be that the saint of Yue, who was the one who falsely accused Gu Ce of surrendering the enemy to disturb the morale of our army and the people?"

Gu Ce's case has many doubts. If Gu Ce really did not surrender to the enemy, then he would die for his country and suffer unjust injustice and be despised by the world. His descendants would also be pointed at by the world. Where is justice?

The other students did not speak, and their faces were also a bit depressed.

"It's been nine years." Chu Yi said quietly, "The court should have Gu Ce's fairness and the truth."

The surrounding air added a hint of tragic and desolation to his words.

Gu Yun'an behind the counter also heard this conversation, and his fingers unconsciously plucked the abacus on the counter with his fingers randomly on the abacus, his eyes flashing.

She didn't expect that the eldest prince planned to rehabilitate Gu Ce in order to marry Gu Yanfei, and told these students so proudly.

Gu Yun'an bit his lower lip slightly, looked at Chu Yi in a daze, thinking about Yangzhou and Gu Ce without control in his mind.

Back then, she was also in Yangzhou.

She was only six years old at that time, where she met the conceited King Kang. At that time, King Kang was fourteen years old and was already an extraordinary young man, and the boy was so angry...

Gu Yun'er took his fingers back from the abacus and walked absent-mindedly towards the back hall. Every time he took a step, his heart twitched, and his mind was in a mess. He felt the sound of the night wind blowing, the sound of his heartbeat, and the sound of his feet stepping on fallen leaves... all became particularly clear.

She threw away the noise and excitement in the front hall, and she didn't even notice the veil in her hand.

Gu Yun'ao got into her own carriage from the back door of Wancaotang. No one except the clinic's staff noticed her departure.

The sky was dark, and there were sparse pedestrians on the street. Carriages carried Gu Yunhao to the Kang Prince's Mansion.

The entire Kang Prince's Mansion was shocked by the arrival of the future princess.

"Oh!" Chu You was overjoyed because of Gu Yunhao's arrival and came to the outer ritual gate to greet him.

Since he went to the palace to meet Empress Dowager Yuan that time, Gu Yunhao said he wanted to break the engagement. The two of them had nothing to do with each other. After that, Chu You went to Gu's house in Luwei Hutong to beg him several times, but Gu Yunhao didn't want to see him.

Now that Gu Yun'an takes the initiative to come to the palace, does that mean that she is no longer angry?

He looked at Gu Yunyang tenderly and personally helped her get off the carriage. A happy smile appeared in his narrow eagle eyes, and even his always crazy face softened a lot.

Gu Yunhao also saw this pure joy in him and sighed slightly.

She always knew that King Kang was sincere to her, but he was King Kang. There were also open and secret struggles between the empress dowager and the court...

After Gu Yun'an stood firm, Chu You eagerly held her slender hand, with both of them pressing against her palms.

"Lao'er, it's me wrong. I really didn't expect my mother to be like this..." Chu You apologized to Gu Yun'er again, lowered his posture, and moved his affectionate eyes greedily on her beautiful little face.

She has lost weight!

Chu You felt very distressed, and then tentatively put his arms around her slender and graceful waist.

Gu Yunhao's body stiffened and wanted to break away, but Chu Youqing said sincerely: "Hao, if the Empress Dowager says these inexplicable words, you should not enter the palace except during festivals in the future."

"Is it okay for us to live our own little life outside the palace?"

"I won't let you be wronged!"

Empress Dowager Yuan must live in the palace and will not live with them.

If he can ascend to that position in the future, his lord will be the empress, the empress is the mother of the country, not an ordinary daughter-in-law, and the empress dowager will no longer be able to humiliate his lord like that day.

While he was speaking, a scorching breath spitted on Gu Yun's right cheek and right ear, making Gu Yun's tremble.

She looked up at his handsome face, her eyes radiating tenderness, and the breath that had been holding for many days finally subsided.

After all, the Queen Mother is his biological mother, and it is not easy for him to do this for her.

Seeing that Gu Yun'an did not break free from him, Chu You felt relieved and then he hugged her whole body in his arms and let her face press against his chest.

"Oh, we will be fine." Chu You said sincerely.

Gu Yunhao listened to his strong and powerful heartbeat, and said "um" softly, and his body gradually softened.

After a while, Gu Yunhao said, "Prince, the eldest prince wants to re-investigate the Gu Ce case."

The next moment, the chest that was close to her rose and fell, and contemptuous laughter came out from the man's broad chest.

"The people in the world will not allow him to do this!" Chu You said with a cold tone, "This is a big mistake in the world."

That day, after the Tianyin Pavilion parted, General Jianwei Wang Nan impeached the eldest prince to Wuliang Temple to pay homage to Gu Ce, which shocked the court.

Afterwards, the impeachment memorials were piled up in front of the emperor. If the emperor hadn't supported him, the prince Chu Yi would have withdrawn from the morning court in disgrace!

It's so stupid, Chu Yi is so stupid.

It was only a few months since his good brother won Chu Yi the opportunity to go to court!

Now it's time for Enke again, and the students have arrived in the capital one after another. If Chu Yi dares to rehabilitate Gu Ce, those students will criticize him, and then Chu Yi will have no prestige in the scholars.

If Chu Yi lost the hearts of the people, the morale of the army, and the desire for this official because of Gu Ce's case, even if he was the emperor's only son, there would be no possibility of being made the crown prince again.

Chu You told her some recent controversies in the court, and finally said with a smile: "Oh, don't worry, Chu Yi can't cause any storms."

"But, the students seemed to be shaken..." Gu Yun'an nervously grabbed Chu You's clothes on his chest and quickly told the story of the Hua family, including the 10,000 people who disappeared from the Vietnamese army, as well as the incident of Shangling.
To be continued...
