Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 271

Shen Cha looked at her master very worriedly, while Shen Haolin sat beside her, holding her hand and comforting her silently.

It is impossible to hide the fact that Prince Yihe's mansion was ransacked because of its private relationship with the Liao Kingdom, and sooner or later there will be a lot of trouble.

After Shen Haolin and Shen Cha discussed it, it would be better to take the initiative to confess to Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, together with the previous matter of the princess's divorce, it seemed less abrupt.However, Shen Cha was a little worried that his master would not be able to bear such a blow. After all, they were old friends with Prince Jardine, and they would not feel good knowing that their friend became the protagonist of such a shocking case.

In any case, what should be said still has to be said, so after the two of them discussed it, they gave up their plan to have breakfast alone in Huqiu, and brought Jin Miaomiao and Ying Wu, who hadn't recovered from their senses, to come here in a hurry When I arrived at the Snapper, I told everyone the sensational news.

"This...couldn't be some misunderstanding?" Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing exchanged glances, "The old prince has fought for many years and killed countless Liao people. How could he be a collaborator and traitor? If he is a traitor, after so many years Why didn't you send any useful news to the Liao Kingdom?"

"What Hou Ye said is right, Xiaocha, did Bai Meng and the others make a mistake? The old prince... I can't believe that he would do such a thing." Jin Jing looked at Shen Cha, "Don't forget Well, the old prince's military exploits are clearly there. Are they all fake? If the old prince is a traitor, what about the evidence? Such a big crime cannot even be presented with conclusive evidence Bar?"

"Strictly speaking, it is not considered collaborating with the enemy and treason. The old prince's mother's family comes from the Xiao family line. According to his seniority, he should be the cousin of the Empress Dowager Xiao. Xiao Fengqi, the special envoy of the Liao Kingdom Mission, should call him uncle. It's just that the old prince was born and grew up in Daxia, and the Empress Dowager Xiao only knew that there was such a nephew, but she had never seen it before." Shen Cha sighed softly, "But this does not prevent the old prince from being a nephew in Xiaoxia. When the Empress Dowager was in her prime, she sent news to her. The Grand Commander found a lot of correspondence between him and the Empress Dowager Xiao from the luggage of the old prince. His Majesty asked a scholar from the Imperial Academy who was good at handwriting identification to confirm that these letters were indeed from the Empress Dowager Xiao. hands."

"What is it used for identification? Is it safe and reliable?" Jin Jing frowned, "Handwriting is the best thing to fake. In case someone doesn't like the old prince and wants to frame him, letters or something are the most convenient. , the easiest way."

"When the Empress Dowager Xiao was in power, there were many letters sent to the palace, and His Majesty used that identification. And..." Shen Cha was silent for a while, and then continued, "The ends of those letters are all stamped with the Empress Dowager Xiao The world only knows that Empress Dowager Xiao has a private seal that is engraved with an eagle. In fact, according to the information we have, there are seven kinds of private seals of Empress Dowager Xiao. Different seals are used for different levels of intimacy. It is a tiger that is only used by family members. Not to mention other evidence, these alone are enough to convict." She looked at Qin Zheng and then at Yan Bo, "The old prince confessed to these crimes. He admitted that he did what he did. Moreover, he also confessed that it was because he was afraid that this shady matter would be exposed that he was eager to arrange the way out for his sons and to separate the family, lest the matter be revealed and implicate his own children."

"That is to say, the three sons are completely ignorant of this matter? Why do I not believe it so much! The old prince handed over all the affairs in the mansion and the court to the son, so he doesn't know about it?" Xue Ruitian rubbed his chin, "Or Said, the son knew what his father had done, but pretended not to know?"

"I probably really don't know." Shen Haolin sighed, "The Empress Dowager Xiao passed away and the Xiao family fell. The Xiao family's children only cared about the petty profits in front of them, and they fought endlessly with the Yelu family. Calculating the time, at that time, the eldest son should have just turned three years old, and the second and third sons have not yet been born, so naturally they don't know anything." Shen Haolin poured a cup of hot water for Shen Cha, "However, it doesn't matter Now, the important thing is, what news did the old prince send to the Empress Dowager Xiao, and whether it is closely related to the current situation of the battle."

"I think... I know what news he sent." After being silent for nearly half a stick, Qin Zheng finally spoke. He looked at the juniors who were staring at him, sighed softly, and said, "I also know Your Majesty. Why are you following him?"

"Master?" Shen Cha looked at Qin Zheng suspiciously, "You..."

"Cha'er, let Uncle speak, don't interrupt him!" Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha's arm, "Uncle, please speak!"

"There are some things in this world that I thought were a bit strange at the time, but I can't figure out where the strangeness is. After many years in the past, when I think about it again, I can slowly peel it off and find the key problem." Qin Zhengyong used Holding his forehead with his hands, he looked very depressed, "The old prince has been fighting for many years, and he has almost never tasted defeat. This is a legend in the history of our Great Xia war. When Xiaofeng and I were young, we fought in the old The prince stayed under the command of the prince for a while, and experienced several battles together. The common point of these few battles is that they all lose first and then win, and... they all turn defeat into victory when they lose so much that they are about to wipe out the entire army."

"More than that, we have used the same formation in the few battles we have participated in. Whether we are attacking or defending, the formation has not changed at all." Yan Bo rubbed his forehead, "According to our big According to Xia's rules, after each battle is over, the head coach must write a battle report from the beginning to the end of the battle, and send a special person to the capital to record and save it in the Ministry of War and the palace. He will also become His Majesty An example of lectures."

"I understand!" Shen Haolin nodded, "Your Majesty is a smart person, and he is extremely eager to learn. He has also done in-depth research on the art of war, so he can naturally see the flaws in it. As long as you have doubts in your heart, you will definitely find a way to solve them. .Besides, the victors of so many long battles are not clear, and it is absolutely impossible for His Majesty not to be suspicious."

"Master, Uncle Yan!" Shen Cha looked at Qin Zheng and then at Uncle Yan, "These battles with the same formation and the same style of play... all of them would be wiped out, so how did they turn defeat into victory?"

"It was after the old prince met a mysterious person." Qin Zheng shook his head, "I bumped into Xiaofeng twice by accident, but they didn't see us, but we saw them. That mysterious person Wearing a very strange dress, wearing a very strange mask on his face, until now, we don't know who this person is, but what is certain is that it should be a member of the Xiao family. Every time this person comes to the camp Afterwards, the next day, we will turn the tables and fight smoothly, and we can easily beat the Liao army back to their border."

"There was something strange at the time, but now that I think about it, maybe this is one of the news that the old prince revealed to Queen Mother Xiao." Qin Zheng took the teacup that Uncle Yan handed him, took a sip to moisten his throat, "Every time we win If that happens, the other two friendly forces will face difficulties, they can only rack their brains and find ways to rely on their own strength to break out of the encirclement, we have no way to support them at all."

"The old general's soldiers and horses have been lost before, and the remaining ones are remnants and defeated generals. How can they support others?" Shen Haolin sneered, "Take the blood of your comrades in exchange for your reputation, the old prince...but What a good plan!"

"Master!" Shen Cha looked at Qin Zheng worriedly, "You..."

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with being a teacher." Qin Zheng waved his hand and twitched the corners of his mouth at Shen Cha, "Since he made such a big mistake back then, today is the time for him to repay it. There is nothing to regret. Being a teacher is just pitiful." Those brothers who have passed away, now the chief culprit has been executed, and they can rest in peace."
