The Rebirth of Jiangmen's Daughter

Chapter 1336 Rejecting Emperor Zhaowu's Toast

Huangfu Ye was taken aback, it was already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, he did not expect that Emperor Zhaowu would prepare a banquet in the Hall of Martial Heroes, this really surprised him.

In any case, they could not refuse the banquet given by Emperor Zhaowu, so Huangfu Ye saluted and thanked them with the soldiers present.

"I'll wait to thank the Emperor Longen!"

In the Hall of Martial Ying, there are not many people who are qualified to dine with Emperor Zhaowu. Counting Huangfu Ye, Ye Chen and his son, the six ministers and the elders from the three provinces, there are no more than two tables of people. As for the rest of the soldiers, they all stay in Wuying. Dining in the Chongying Hall outside the hall.

During the banquet, Ye Chen and his son sat with Huangfu Ye at the table of Emperor Zhaowu, and the other nine formed a table of their own.

"Ye Qing, I would like to respect you father and son first. The western border of Daying, without you father and son these years, would never have been so stable. For this cup, I will do it first as a respect!"

Emperor Zhaowu picked up the wine bottle in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, but he never mentioned the fact that Ye Chen surrendered to Xilang with his own soldiers as mentioned in the urgent document at Babaili in Liangzhou.

Ye Chen looked at the wine bottle in front of him with a solemn face. What happened in Liangzhou chilled him. The trust between him and Emperor Zhaowu over the years had collapsed. He would not drink this glass of wine, nor would he not drink it.

Drink it, I feel aggrieved, if I don't drink it, Emperor Zhaowu's thunderous anger may not be something he can bear.

"Ye Qing?"

Emperor Zhaowu saw that Ye Chen didn't respond, so he subconsciously called out, he is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he personally toasted, who would dare not accept it?
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to drink this glass of wine, it's that I dare not drink it. I'm still the number one prisoner on the arrest document under the governor's office in Liangzhou. Although I have military merits, I dare not take the glass of wine that the emperor toasts. , please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Zhaowu's face suddenly became ugly. Ye Chen was reminding him in front of everyone, the grievance he suffered in the Liangzhou incident?

However, Emperor Zhaowu did not lose his temper. After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Zhaowu angrily questioned the Minister of Punishment.

"Zhang Hao, I asked you to go to Liangzhou to investigate the case. Did you find out that Chou Yinmao is here? General Ye has made great military achievements, but this time he was framed like this. Is my Daying's testimonies just for show?"

Zhang Hao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, stood up from his seat in a calm manner, saluted Emperor Zhaowu, and then replied respectfully.

"Back to the emperor, I have found out this matter. This matter is the so-called collusion between Liangzhou governor Fang Jie and General Ye's personal soldier Wang Dawang, and the people of Xilang. I have found out this matter, but I have not yet submitted the proof of the investigation to you. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

After hearing Zhang Hao's reply, Emperor Zhaowu looked much better. When he turned his head to look at Ye Chen, his face was full of smiles again.

"Ye Qing, I was negligent in this matter. I was deceived by those two rebels for a while, and you have been wronged!"

Emperor Zhaowu finished comforting Ye Chen, and then told Zhang Hao: "Since the Ministry of Punishment has found out the matter, why didn't they withdraw the arrest document from Liangzhou Governor's Mansion? Don't you think you can do this?"

Zhang Hao saluted again and explained to Emperor Zhaowu: "Please tell the emperor, Fang Jie hid the seal of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, so the arrest documents under the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion cannot be withdrawn for the time being, even General Ye and his party this time People followed us back to Beijing from Tianyong Pass, if His Royal Highness Xiang Xiang hadn't been protecting us all the way, I'm afraid that father and son would never have a chance to come back from Tianyong Pass!"

The people who dined in the Hall of Martial Heroes were all important ministers in the court, no matter who they were, they had never encountered such a situation, so when Zhang Hao's words fell to the ground, all the people present looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.
