Northern Qi was not a tributary of Da Qin, but an equal country to Da Qin. Why did Da Qin say that it was "rewarding" Northern Qi?
Yes, Northern Qi was so shameless. They accepted the "reward" from Da Qin and attacked Da Qin on the pretext that the "reward" was Da Qin's humiliation to Northern Qi.
Moreover, because of Da Qin's move, Northern Qi could hardly unite as one, and was determined to defeat Da Qin. One blood would be a disgrace.
The people of the Northern Qi Dynasty were all soldiers, and the cavalry was even more powerful. Under the unified leadership of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty was unstoppable and defeated three cities in a row in just three months. They killed, burned, looted and committed all kinds of crimes.
There was chaos on the border. In addition to reprimanding Northern Qi for being sinister and dishonest, the Manchu ministers also called for impeachment of the prince.
Many officials in Da Qin believed that the reason why Northern Qi attacked Da Qin was entirely the fault of the prince. If the prince had not objected at that time and agreed to Da Qin lending food to Northern Qi, this war would not have happened and the people on the border would not have to suffer.
This was an attempt to impose a crime, but the emperor did not stop it or scold the impeaching officials, so the civil officials knew in their hearts that this was what the emperor was happy to see.
All of a sudden, the news about the impeachment of the prince floated in front of the case like snowflakes. It was not that there were officials from the prince's line who said good things for the prince, but all the officials who said good things for the prince were scolded and seriously lost their official positions.
The prince went to Zhezi to plead guilty, but the emperor accepted it and strictly ordered the prince to think about his mistakes at home. After that, the prince didn't know whether he was discouraged or something happened, and stopped his disciples from speaking out for him.
Therefore, with the emperor's acquiescence and the prince's concession, the court was full of voices attacking the prince. Especially when the Northern Qi Dynasty advanced step by step and captured several cities in the Qin Dynasty, the prince became the sinner of the Qin Dynasty.
At this time, the prince's maternal grandfather, Chai Qing, the general who was in charge of one-third of Da Qin's army, submitted a memorial to the emperor, asking the emperor to give the prince a chance to make up for his past mistakes, so that he could personally conquer Northern Qi.
As soon as General Chai made this statement, more than half of the military attachés in the court agreed, and everyone agreed that the prince would personally conquer the war. However, the emperor did not give an immediate reply, but suppressed the statement and discussed it later.
The Chai family held one-third of the troops and horses of the Qin Dynasty. This was the reason why the old emperor chose the daughter of the Chai family as his queen, the reason why the old emperor established the prince early, and the reason why the emperor was afraid of the prince.
The soldiers and horses in the hands of the Chai family are the strong support of the prince, and they are also the prince's biggest support. In order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, the prince tries not to have contact with the Chai family and military commanders, let alone get involved in military power easily, but...
The prince's repeated concessions did not win the old emperor's trust, but instead attracted the old emperor to press harder and harder. Now, all the fault of Northern Qi's attack on Da Qin was placed on the prince, making the prince the sinner of Da Qin.
At this point, if the prince does not fight back, even if he ascends to the throne in the future, he will not be able to wash away this shame. The Chai family has no choice but to let the prince fight in person.
The emperor had forced them into this situation, and they had no way out.
After three days and three nights of consideration, under various pressures, the old emperor agreed to the prince's personal expedition to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and personally implemented it for the prince. His words revealed high hopes for the prince, which made people doubt that the prince would return after winning this time.
Zen position.
With General Chai personally holding the battle for the prince, the prince would undoubtedly win this battle. It was reasonable for the emperor to abdicate after his return. At that time, the whole court was even thinking about how to sell well in front of the new emperor.
Knowing only the prince but not the emperor is not just talk. It’s just that everyone guessed the beginning, but not the end!
The prince led the troops of the Chai family, and with the help of his maternal grandfather and uncle, they advanced with great momentum. Not only did they regain the lost territory, but they also directly defeated the Northern Qi Dynasty. Everyone even thought that the prince could directly defeat them this time.
The imperial court of Northern Qi captured Northern Qi, but...
Just as news of the crown prince's successive victories came, news that the crown prince was brutal and wreaking havoc, allowing soldiers to murder the people during the march, and massacring border villages also reached Da Qin.
Eighteen villages on the border between Northern Qi and Da Qin were all massacred by the prince. No old, weak, women or children were left alive. Blood letters were sent directly to the emperor. There were both witnesses and physical evidence. The emperor was furious and ordered the prince to be escorted to Beijing.
The whole court was in an uproar, but no one knew the truth thousands of miles away. All we could do was wait for the prince to come back. But the prince of Da Qin never came back!
"The news that the world knows is that when the prince led his soldiers to kill the people in the village, the people fought back. The prince's soldiers were beaten to death by the angry villagers, and the prince was forced into the mountains by the people, where he was bitten and devoured by tigers. He died without a trace.
The corpse was dead, and everyone in the Qin Dynasty said it was a good death."
The spy chief kept looking at Qin Jiyan while he was talking. Seeing that Qin Jiyan only had a calm face, without any anger or violence, he sighed secretly.
This boy is really impressive, his determination of character is far beyond his imagination.
Qin Jiyan was not affected, but the spy chief continued, "After the death of the prince, General Chai had no intention of fighting anymore. Northern Qi took the opportunity to counterattack, and Da Qin was defeated!" Da Qin was defeated not by Northern Qi, but by its own people.
.
Speaking of the war that year, the spy chief couldn't help but sigh.
"After the defeat of Da Qin, the Emperor of Da Qin did not pursue the prince's massacre of the people. However, as a defeated army, the prince's reputation was tarnished and the Chai family became criminals. In less than three months, the Emperor of Da Qin took away the military power of the Chai family and
The whole Chai family was slaughtered, and other families involved with the prince had more or less troubles. His Royal Highness the prince, who was astonishingly talented and beautiful in the Qin Dynasty, fell away. He no longer had the glory of the past, and even did not have a good reputation until his death. "
The spy chief seemed to be talking about the events of that year from the perspective of a bystander, but his words hinted that the prince's death was unusual, and the one who benefited from the prince's death was the old emperor.
"There are almost no insiders back then, and that's all I know." All the things the spy chief said can be verified, and Qin Jiyan knew that the spy chief was not lying without checking, because he has investigated over the years.
What I got was the same as what the spy leader said.
But this is not what Qin Jiyan wants, what he wants is the unknown truth, and as the spy chiefs of Northern Qi, there is no reason for them not to know.
"Who was the person who massacred eighteen villages back then?"
"I said it, would you believe it?" Obviously, the spy chief knew.
"explain."
Qin Jiyan wanted to hear it, but the spy chief did not hide it, "There is evidence pointing to the Emperor of Qin." No one knows whether it is true or not. After so many years, with several forces working together to cover up, the truth of that year has long been undiscoverable.
"Who is the person who designed to kill my father?" Qin Jiyan believed that his imperial grandfather could do things to ruin his father's reputation, but he would not cruelly take his father's life.
Qin Jiyan has this kind of trust. Of course, Qin Jiyan also knows that his imperial grandfather must be related to what happened back then. If not for this, he would not have pampered him so much these years.
