Yu Cunzheng almost used all his strength to say this, his voice almost roaring.

He seemed to want to vent all the sadness he had suppressed for nine years through these few words, so intense and so sad, with the determination to fight to the death.

These words were buried in his heart for nine years. He didn't know how many times he said them when he was dreaming at noon, but whenever he woke up, he was empty.

He was afraid of missing this opportunity, and he would never have the chance to say it again.

In the past nine years, he has been living in an endless nightmare. Every time he closes his eyes, he will go back to that time. He dreams that he and his comrades will stick to Tailing City, dreams that the city is broken, dreams that they are buried alive together, dreams that he is struggling under the ground...

Once, he thought he would never wait for this day, but he finally waited!

The man's tragic voice spread far away with the night wind, echoing in this empty palace.

Not far away, King Kang Chuyou walked towards this side from the direction of Ganqing Gate, and heard Yu Cunzheng clearly.

His tall body shook violently, and his steps below his feet paused slightly.

Yu Cun was trembling with his shoulders and said excitedly: "Even if he couldn't wait for rescue, even if there was no food or anyone, Mr. Gu was holding on. Even if the soldiers and the people were at the point of eating cowhide and shaving the bark of trees."

"We even successfully intercepted the Vietnamese army's food and grass, and for this, we only lasted for half a month..."

When they were about to starve to death in the city, Gu Ce, the Marquis of Dingyuan, led his soldiers to grab the food and grass of the Vietnamese army. Otherwise, Tailing City would not last for February. I am afraid that the soldiers and people in the city would all die in the first month without waiting for the so-called "subjugation of the enemy"!

It was not the one who was in it, and I didn’t know the tragic tragedy that year. Some people in the city committed suicide due to hunger, and some even reached the point of cutting their flesh and feeding. At that time, everyone was wondering if they had been abandoned by the court...

As the dignified general of Yangzhou, Gu Ce had the opportunity to abandon the city, but he did not. He and the soldiers all over the city and the people struggled to the last moment...

Yu Cunzheng had a lot to say, but was interrupted by someone:

"absurd!"

Chu You could no longer listen, and a cold light flashed in his eagle eyes.

Everyone's eyes surged towards him in unison.

Chu Yi looked at Chu You who was gradually moving, with a gentle smile on his face, but his smile was not as good as his eyes.

Chu You walked quickly towards the south study like an enclave, glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and said aloud: "Can a deserter believe the words?"

"He just talks nonsense to get rid of the punishment, and deserters are a death sentence!"

Chu You stopped a few steps away from Duke Wei, and asked high above: "Duke Wei, you brought this person, so you must know exactly what his identity is. As a dignified Duke, you cannot ignore the charge of hiding deserters!!"

Chu You's voice was colder, sharper than Wannian Ice, and his momentum was as if a long sword unsheathed released the killing aura.

Facing the aggressive Chu You, after three dynasties, the Duke of Wei, who had seen many storms and waves, remained calm and looked at him fearlessly.

Duke Wei casually dusted his sleeves and asked proudly: "Is King Kang's words meant to punish me?"

Chu You: "…"

Duke Wei stared at Chu You, his eyes shaking without shaking at all, and he was even laughing.

He sneered and called out arrogantly: "Chu You, who do you think you are? You are just a prince, and you still have to punish me?"

In this great Jing Dynasty, besides the emperor and Fengyang, the only Duke of Wei dared to call King Kang's name like this.

Fang Huairui smiled without hesitation, put his arms around his chest, and leisurely helped Duke Wei to make up for it: "It's not your turn, King Kang."

Chu You gritted his teeth and stared at the two of them singing together, with sharp and cold eyes.

The Duke of Wei was approaching Chu You with his chest outstretched, "Chu You, we are talking about the matter, talking about the Gu Ce case, but you are holding the deserter. Do you want the truth about the matter back then to be revealed?"

The two were only two feet apart, and sparks were sparkling at the intersection of their eyes.

"Ha," Duke Wei suddenly smiled, "I almost forgot. You were also in Sishui County, Yangzhou, right? Are you in Tailing City?"

He asked clearly, and without waiting for Chu You to answer, he said to himself: "From Gu Ce, from the people, from Tailing City, he is almost dead."

"It doesn't seem like a massacre, it's like covering up something?" As he spoke, the smile on Duke Wei's lips became a little deeper, and his voice was sharp, "What do you think?"

His eyes stabbed Chu You like a sharp sword, as if he was scolding, questioning, and as if he was tempted.

At this moment, Duke Wei did not suppress his momentum at all, as invincible as Mount Tai pressing down on the top.

Everyone was silent, watching the confrontation between King Kang and Duke Wei.

To put it bluntly, this is not only the winner and lose between these two people, but also the aristocratic family behind King Kang, as well as the emperor and the eldest prince behind Duke Wei.

"Bold!" Chu You's face darkened, and the blue veins stormed.

The candlelight of the lantern reflected on Chu You's face with deep facial features, and his high nose casts a shadow on one cheek, making him look gloomy and his eyes colder than the night.

His clear-cut chin raised slightly, and his voice became colder: "Wei Shi, in order to save Gu Ce from his crime, you are just talking nonsense and want to wrongly accuse me of the king!"

Duke Wei still looked at Chu You without retreating at all, and said strongly: "Since you feel wronged, why don't I allow this case to be re-introduced?"

"Whether Yu Cunzheng said it is true or false, you have not verified it yet, so why should you deny it!"

"..." Chu You was speechless for a moment, and his eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Hmph!" Xiao Shoufu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly walked to Chu You, clearly standing on the same front as him. "Duke of Wei, treason is treason. The two countries have a conclusion long ago. Facts are better than words! Why do you ignore right and wrong and turn black and white?!"

"Is it 'a long-term conclusion' or is it wrong if you want to make mistakes?!" Duke Wei was half a head taller than Master Xiao. When he approached Master Xiao, his tall shadow was poured on the other party, with a sense of pressure.

"If you say you can overturn the case, then you will overturn the case. Wouldn't a criminal come and shout that he is wronged and demands to overturn the case!" Xiao Shoufu still refused to let go and said with a striking remark, "Dude, the thief will not admit that he is a thief!"

"Well said. The thief will not admit that he is a thief, and King Kang will not admit that he is guilty!" Duke Wei sneered, "But if he is not guilty, why wouldn't he be allowed to investigate the case again?"

"According to my opinion, King Kang must have concealed something!"

These two people, both literary and military, are important figures in the court. At this moment, both sides hold positions and do not give in to each other.

No one can convince the other party, and no one wants to show weakness to the other party.

"..." Wang Nan looked at Yu Cunzheng blankly, unable to say a word for a long time.

Over the years, he has always believed that Gu Ce is guilty, but since Yu Cunzheng appeared, a crack has appeared in his original hard determination.

Yu Cunzheng is a deserter. According to the law, deserters should be executed. As King Kang said, Yu Cunzheng also needs to make meritorious contributions in order to escape from his crimes.

But Wang Nan knew Yu Cunzheng, and on the battlefield they had used their lives to cover each other's side. He was in an old relationship. He did not believe that Yu Cun was the kind of person that King Kang said.

What was the truth nine years ago?!

With a creaking sound, the door of the originally closed Nan Study opened, interrupting the sparkling atmosphere.

Everyone turned to the south study and looked at the emperor from inside.

Everyone shut up and silenced.

He suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, including Wang Nan and everyone in the rest of the country bowed and bowed:

"See the Emperor."

The door of Nan Study Room was open. When everyone bowed their heads, they vaguely saw a blue corner of their clothes. Even if they only saw one corner, several people guessed that Princess Fengyang was also inside.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, and the five-clawed golden dragon on his bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with gold thread shining in the moonlight and light.

"I have heard what you said just now," the emperor slowly stroked his beard and said, "Since both sides have different opinions and it is difficult to decide, then we should re-examine the case in Yangzhou nine years ago."

"Whether Gu Ce treason or the Seventh Emperor's brother conceals something, we should find out clearly. I will not wrongly accuse any innocent person."

"Prime Minister, do you think so?"

The emperor looked at Shoufu Xiao with a smile, his expression as gentle as before, smiling slightly, but with an aura and strength that the emperor could not refute.

These words are also very impressive and make people unable to find any mistakes.

Shoufu Xiao pursed his lips tightly, his heart sank slightly.

Duke Wei was just now making trouble with King Kang, for fear that it was for this step that they had been joined by the emperor and Duke Wei.

All of this is said. If they insist on opposing the emperor's re-investigation of Gu Ce case, it would be like indirectly proof that King Kang had a ghost in his heart.

King Kang will be a person who will ascend the throne to the emperor in the future and must not fall into the situation of axe and candle shadows.

Now, there is no other choice.

Shoujiao Xiao quickly measured the interests and said with difficulty: "The emperor is wise..."

Chu You's mouth curled a fierce curve, and his eyes became even colder. He glanced at Shoufu Xiao coldly, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of haze.

He had never known that his elder brother was so eloquent. It was obvious that the emperor insisted on overturning the case for Gu Ce, but he said it as if he was devoted to his elder brother.

The emperor slowly glanced at everyone, took everyone's silence as a default, and said lightly: "Since you all have no objections, then do this."

At this point, the final result is achieved.

"Father, wise." Chu Yi was the first to bow to the emperor, his posture was still elegant, and his eyes were as bright as the silver moon in the night sky.

Duke Wei then clasped his fists and spoke loudly: "The emperor is wise, long live the emperor!"

The other nobles and military generals also shouted long live the emperor, and their shouts were neat and uniform, landing soundly, as if carrying the power of thunder.

However, in just one stick of incense, their mentality had changed drastically, and their hearts were filled with excitement. Some people's eyes were red, some people's eyes were shining with water, and some people's teeth were clenched.

They were repeatedly recalling what Yu Cunzheng said just now.

No one can experience the isolated despair and tragedy better than those of them who came out of the battlefield. They are deeply pierced in their hearts like a knife, making them feel bloody and painful.

It is natural to fight for the generals and fight for the country, and sacrifice for the country is also a kind of honor, but they cannot bear the stigma of treason!

A solemn and tragic atmosphere enveloped the entire palace.

This night was destined to be uneasy. In the early morning, all city gates posted official documents, indicating that the emperor issued an order to thoroughly investigate the Gu Ce case nine years ago.

This is also a statement from the emperor. This case will be investigated openly and in front of the world, without any fraud.

So, the people entering and leaving the city gate early in the morning saw this official document, and the bulletin board was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, bustling.

Among the people watching, some are literate and some are illiterate.

Those who do not mean illiterate people just grab others to help read the official document.

The battle between Dajing and Yue Kingdom nine years ago was a pain for all Dajing people.

Back then, Dajing's soldiers and the people died a total of 80,000 people. Many families had divorced their wives and children, and many people lost their strong men and lived a difficult life.

Even though the late emperor did not explicitly treason Gu Ce treason, the whole country, from the elderly to the children, knew that Gu Ce surrendered the enemy and opened the city gate, which led to the Vietnamese army's killing, and even more, Da Jing was defeated in that battle.

Everyone scolded Gu Ce as a rebel general, despicable and shameless, without integrity, and scolded him for harming the country and the people, and the reason why he was accused of his sins was in heaven, and death was not enough to atone for his sins.

Gu Ce alone bears all this heavy sin.

But if...

Is Gu Ce innocent?

The people were very excited. Some complained about Gu Ce, some said they would wait and see, and some firmly believed that Gu Ce was guilty. Everyone started to discuss it fiercely, noisy, like a pot of boiling water.

Outside the crowd, an eight or nine-year-old boy grabbed the corner of a middle-aged man in a gray robe and whispered: "Dad, I want to eat that rice cake, buy me that rice cake!"

The middle-aged man frowned and scolded angrily: "Li Hao, didn't you say you were going to come down to watch the fun just now?"

"Anyway, I want to eat rice cake!" Boy Li Hao raised his head and said stubbornly.

An old female voice came from a green carriage next to her: "Zhaodi, take your brother to buy rice cakes."

Another young female voice answered quickly. A young woman in her twenties and pretty face soon came down from the carriage. Li Zhaodi pulled Li Hao's hand and said flatteringly: "Brother Hao, sister will take you to buy it."

When Li Hao grabbed the hot rice cake and returned to Li's father, Li's father was still looking at the official document in front of him. Li Zhaodi asked casually: "Dad, what are you reading? What are you talking about in this official document?"

Li Zhaodi was illiterate and could only ask her father. She only heard the crowd around her saying "Gu Ce" and "reverse the case" and so on, which made her confused.

"It was said that Gu Ce wanted to rehabilitate..." Li's father stared at the official document in front of him, and his eyes almost burned two holes in the official document.

"Rehabilitation? What's the counter-rebellion!"

"When that dead girl comes to the capital, she will make all the messes if she doesn't do anything else!" Li's father said gritting his teeth, his rough face was a little distorted, and his eyes burst into disgust.

Li Zhaodi pursed her plump but slightly bleak lips, and her expression was a little complicated.

Of course she knew who the "dead girl" her father was, the second girl who had lived in their family for fourteen years.

She didn't know until last year that her second sister was not her own sister, and Gu Yunhao, the daughter of the Hou Mansion, was her own sister.

The crowd ahead was still discussing the official documents enthusiastically, and even more people gathered around.

An old silver-haired woman said in a loud voice: "This must be the eldest prince who wants to rehabilitate the Marquis of Dingyuan. Yesterday, I saw the eldest prince with my own eyes at Wancaotang!"

The old woman looked proud and her eyes were shining, thinking that this was enough for her to blow the rest of her life.

A plump middle-aged woman curiously grabbed the silver-haired old woman and asked, "Old sister, what does the eldest prince look like?"

The old woman raised her chin, "She is so handsome as if she is a banished immortal. She looks good, so beautiful!"

She frequently spoken words, and could only emphasize that the eldest prince was particularly beautiful.

Father Li snorted coldly: "What banished immortal? You're a blind man who is open and you're blind. The prince will actually look down on that dry and dead girl."

A young man in blue with square face got off the shaft of the car and urged a little impatiently, "Hurry up, my young master is still waiting for you."

The young man in green pointed in a direction and saw a young man in blue robe walking out of a restaurant not far ahead. He was young and handsome, with a tall figure.

Father Li immediately changed into a warm smile, squinted his turbid eyes, and asked eagerly: "That is Mr. Fang?" The Young Master Fang who ordered the man to bring them to the capital?!

"Let's go." The young man in green nodded perfunctorily and quickly led his father and others toward Fang Mingfeng.

The green-topped carriage followed them closely.

Fang Mingfeng at the entrance of the restaurant looked at Li's party and his group from afar.

Li's father is of medium height, wearing a half-new and not old sky blue straight hair, black silk ribbons tied with his waist, and a few frosty hair dyed in his sideburns, and his whole body is cleanly taken care of.

Fang Mingfeng's eyes then fell on Li's father's fingers that were constantly rubbing on his robe and his wandering eyes, and a trace of contempt flashed through his eyes.

This person's behavior is vulgar and vulgar, and his connotation is empty. It is no wonder that people like this who cannot get on the table can raise a person like Gu Feiyan who is a frivolous and cold-hearted person.

"Young Master Fang." Li's father respectfully bowed to Fang Mingfeng, and did not dare to look directly at Fang Mingfeng.

He used to work as a servant in the Gu family for many years, but later he went to Yuzhou to manage Zhuangzi for various reasons, so he still understands all kinds of rules and etiquette.

Fang Mingfeng quickly withdrew his gaze and did not look at Li Zhaodi and Li Hao, the siblings behind Li’s father.

He gently stroked his sleeves and said indifferently: "I have someone set up a house in the west of the city. You can live there first. When you need it, I will ask someone to call you."

After pausing, his speech slowed down and warned: "Besides this, you'd better be at peace."

His expression and tone were calm from beginning to end, as if he was looking at them, but it seemed that they could not be reflected in his eyes at all. He exuded a proud noble demeanor, and was high above, making people feel out of reach.

"Yes, Mr. Fang." Li's father responded to his promise and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, we must follow your arrangements for everything."

Li Zhaodi was a little bit shivering, staring at Fang Mingfeng blankly, and suddenly remembered that the old woman praised the eldest prince as if she was exiled.

It turns out that there is such a handsome and noble young man in the capital. The banished immortal in the sky should be like the young man Fang in front of him.

A slight blush appeared on Li Zhaodi's cheeks, and she subconsciously held her brother's hand tighter, feeling a little uncomfortable, sour, bitter and depressed.

Thinking of her vulgar husband, she bit her lower lip slightly and couldn't help but think: I wish she was replaced back then...
