Many things can be concealed, but they cannot withstand the test of time. When Lin Yecai came to Yunzhou, naturally no one cared about where he came from or who he was.
However, at this time, Lin Ye had unknowingly reached the position where many people began to pay attention to him.
Tuoba Lie's sentence that the emperor will know your name seems to be reminding Lin Ye of something.
It was impossible for Tuoba Lie not to know that Lin Ye was his mother-in-law's adopted son and the youngest.
Even if his aunt didn't tell him these things, he must have known about them.
So what exactly did this sentence mean? Lin Ye thought for a long time.
My aunt once said that it was not just the general Liu Jigong who was plotted and framed, nor was it just a team of the Cowardly Army.
It was a blessing among misfortunes for the Kitano Army to be able to come back with half of its strength. It was not completely wiped out in Dongbo. Obviously some people were disappointed.
Therefore, Lin Ye also knew that Tuoba Lie was also holding back resentment in his heart, and of course his aunt also had resentment in her heart.
If the emperor knew that Lin Ye was the adopted son of Mrs. Liu Jigong, then Lin Ye would have to come out to the public.
Tuoba Lie wanted to use Lin Ye's identity to review old cases from back then.
His purpose is not to reverse the case, his purpose is to use this old case to drive Xie Yelan out of Yunzhou.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye slowly let out a breath.
My aunt said that he was not allowed to go because it would definitely be a narrow escape situation.
But if you don't go, this case will not come before the emperor.
No matter how incompetent Prince Ye is, no matter how useless he is, he still has enough means to prevent Tuoba Lie from bringing up the past easily.
Moreover, for more than ten years, the emperor has always been worried about Tuoba Lie. Even if Tuoba Lie wants to bring up the old matter again, the emperor may not really bring it up.
Lin Ye is different.
Because General Liu Jigong had been dead for many years, the most that could be done to overturn the verdict would be to grant Liu Jigong a posthumous title.
The emperor doesn't care about granting a title to a dead person, he would be happy even to make him a king, and besides, he is still a dead person who has no descendants.
The reason why Liu Jigong and the cowardly soldiers who died in battle were not punished or rewarded was because it was a special period.
Emperor Jade, who had only just stabilized his imperial power, did not dare to let the common people know about the scandal of the royal family.
Lin Ye was thinking about the key to this while walking. As long as many things are connected in series, they won't seem so mysterious.
The crown prince Xie Yelan is the only son of Prince Ye. When he comes here, his target is of course Tuoba Lie.
Tuoba Lie naturally had to fight back in order to protect himself, but it was impossible for him to deal with Xie Yelan like he dealt with Bu Guxin.
If the case back then was overturned and it was proven that King Yejun colluded with the Loufan people and collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country...
How could Xie Yelan, the lord of Yunzhou City, still be able to sit still?
No...what else is the key to this?
Lin Ye thought of his previous speculation.
Qi Barracks was not Xie Yelan's target, maybe the Beiye Army was.
But Emperor Jade didn't even believe Tuoba Lie, so how could he trust Xie Yelan with one hundred thousand of Beiye's most skilled troops?
Emperor Jade does not trust his powerful ministers, let alone his brothers, sisters and fellow clan members.
Xie Yelan knew that once he took control of the military, he would touch Emperor Jade's bottom line, so why did he do this?
My aunt just said that since two years ago, the emperor has been feeling unwell from time to time, and the pain in his heart has made him particularly miserable.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye had an idea in his mind.
Xie Yelan, what a big ambition.
Someone wants to harm the emperor, and Xie Yelan is their chosen successor to the throne.
Maybe it's not that some people want to harm the emperor, but that there are many people who want to harm the emperor.
Because this Jade Emperor had killed many people in the beginning, and they had not forgotten the three days of bloodshed in Geling.
Back then, the emperor's father was still a down-and-out royal who farmed secretly. He was suddenly put on royal robes and taken to Geling to ascend the throne.
However, the old emperor had been in power for thirteen years and was ostracized by powerful ministers. He was really a puppet, but a puppet without dignity.
During those more than ten years, the powerful ministers in the imperial court were above the imperial power. The old emperor was also cowardly and was constantly manipulated.
After seeing these things, the emperor of today was already preparing to deal with these powerful officials after taking the throne.
I have to say, he is an amazing person.
In the first two or three years after inheriting the throne, the Jade Emperor not only showed no extraordinary abilities, but could even be described as extravagant.
But who would have thought that he spent three years preparing and obtained evidence of the crimes of many powerful officials.
A few people from humble backgrounds were reused, a few minor characters who were so inconspicuous at the time that all the officials didn't care at all.
At that time, Tuoba Lie was only a fourth-rank general at the Ningye Camp, three hundred miles away from Geling.
Because he didn't have any strong background, he was quite marginalized in Ningye Camp.
One day, after Tuoba Lie came home, he pushed the door open and suddenly found a stranger in the yard.
Just as he was about to draw his sword, he saw the stranger take out a decree from his arms.
A month later, General Ning Ye's father celebrated his birthday. When everyone went to celebrate his birthday, Tuoba Lie suddenly attacked.
He led 1,200 of his men to surround the general's mansion and without any explanation, killed everyone in the mansion, regardless of age or sex.
After obtaining the Tiger Talisman to mobilize troops, he rushed to Geling with an army of 30,000 from Ningye Camp.
However, before arriving at Geling, the powerful officials in the city had already received the news, so these people united to prepare to overthrow Emperor Yu and establish a new king.
They mobilized the Geling City defense army to surround Fengzhen Palace and force the emperor to abdicate.
But at this moment, the master of Shangyang Palace said that all the disciples of Shangyang Palace have the responsibility to protect the safety of the emperor.
As a result, many Shangyang Palace disciples among the rebels quit.
Two days later, Tuoba Lie led his army to Geling. However, the city wall of Geling was so tall and strong that it was impossible for 300,000 or even 300,000 people to easily break through Geling.
During the fierce battle, a fifth-grade general led hundreds of dead soldiers to open the city gate from Geling and welcome Tuoba Lie into the city.
This general was extremely skilled in martial arts. He was able to defeat a hundred enemies with one enemy, and was wounded in dozens of places. He fought to the death and refused to retreat.
After Tuoba Lie entered the city, he went straight to Fengzhen Palace to escort him. At this time, the master of Shangyang Palace came forward and stood directly beside the emperor.
Tuoba Lie was ordered to capture the rebels in the city, and six to seven thousand people were captured in just one day. The emperor ordered that all of them be beheaded without trial.
After that, he killed for three consecutive days, which is the three days of blood in Geling that makes people cringe just thinking about it.
That night, the emperor held a banquet in Fengzhen Palace and personally served Tuoba Lie with wine.
The fifth-grade general with dozens of injuries was also present. Emperor Jade took Tuoba Lie's hand and said, "You must remember this man's name, and everyone in the world must remember it. His name is Liu Jigong."
Later, according to Emperor Yu's idea, Tuoba Lie and Liu Jigong were placed in the same position and both were granted the title of general.
However, Liu Jigong refused to accept his resignation. He said that in terms of merit, qualifications, and abilities, he was far different from Tuoba Lie, and he did not dare to compare with General Tuoba Lie.
Emperor Jade had no choice but to make Liu Jigong a general, but his actual power and titles were lower than those of Tuoba Lie.
Tuoba Lie was transferred from Geling and went to northern Xinjiang to found the Beiye Army.
Liu Jigong stayed in Geling and founded the Cowardly Army. Two years later, Liu Jigong also led his army to northern Xinjiang. Tuoba Lie stationed at the border and Liu Jigong stationed at Yunzhou.
Later, Dong Bo sent an urgent letter asking Emperor Jade for rescue, and Emperor Jade immediately issued an order to mobilize troops.
The Beiye Army and the Cowardly Army marched to Dongbo. Who could have imagined that such a big change would occur in this battle.
At that time, Dayu's left prime minister, Wan Yu, reported upstairs that in order to let the people of Dongbo feel the same hatred between Dayu and Dongbo in such a battle, someone from the royal family should go north in person to supervise the battle.
Immediately Emperor Jade gave the order, and sent Xie Mingxiao, Prince of Ye County, and Gao Yong, the eunuch, to rush to northern Xinjiang.
Lin Ye has already investigated these matters very clearly.
So he had always suspected that Emperor Jade wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Tuoba Lie.
What happened to General Liu Jigong probably had nothing to do with the emperor, but with Prince Ye.
Lin Ye checked and found that General Liu Jigong's cowardly army at that time first dispatched the most elite fearless battalion to explore the way for Tuoba Lie's Beiye Army.
Everyone knows that General Liu Jigong was the best at training scouts, and Wufear Camp was built by selecting the best from the timid army.
Because of this, after Tuoba Lie negotiated with him, Liu Jigong ordered the Wuwei camp to move out first.
At that time, the Qingmang Army's brigade, with more than 10,000 men, was responsible for transporting grain and supplies to the Beiye Army.
Xie Liming, the king of Yejun, and Gao Yong, the eunuch, were among the Qingmang army. The general Liu Jigong learned about their reselling of military supplies.
Then, Liu Jigong received Tuoba Lie's military order, saying that Beiye's army had been ambushed and asked Liu Jigong to lead his army to help.
On the way to rescue, Liu Jigong was besieged by at least ten times the number of Loufan people.
In a deadly battle, more than 10,000 Cowardly troops killed more than 70,000 Loufan people. Even though they had run out of food and grass and had not had enough to eat for several days, the Loufan people still could not defeat the Cowardly troops.
At this time, Liu Jigong already knew that he had been tricked, so he sent people to break out and ask for help, and at the same time sent people to send a message to the Fearless Camp to remind him.
What he didn't expect was that the thief was one step ahead of him, faked military orders, mobilized the Fearless Battalion for rescue, and was ambushed by the Loufan people on the way.
The bribed person ran to see Tuoba Lie, and only then did Tuoba Lie know that such a big thing had happened.
He did not fall into an ambush at all, nor did he send any cowardly troops to rescue him.
After hearing the news, Tuoba Lie personally led his troops to rescue Liu Jigong, but on the way, the traitor deliberately led him the wrong way.
The Beiye Army was also brought into the encirclement of the Loufan people. After a bloody battle, the Beiye Army broke out of the encirclement.
When they arrived at the place, the Loufan people had already burned the mountain. In the fire all over the mountain, the Cowardly Army was completely wiped out.
For this reason, Tuoba Lie became furious and ordered a strict investigation.
Hundreds of traitors were killed, but there was no evidence that they were ordered by Prince Ye.
At that time, Tuoba Lie already understood that the person who wanted him dead was Emperor Jade.
With great achievements and military power, how could Emperor Jade not be afraid of him?
Maybe Tuoba Lie would regret it at that time. If he had retreated bravely and laid down his military power after rescuing him in Geling, he might have become an idle prince that everyone envied.
Tuoba Lie also knew that, let alone no evidence, even if there was evidence, it would be meaningless for him to personally take the evidence to Geling to file a petition.
Not only could he not sue Prince Ye and Gao Yong, it was probably impossible for him to return to Yunzhou.
These things are considered secrets to the common people, but as long as you investigate carefully, you can also find some clues.
In the more than a year since Lin Ye arrived in Yunzhou, he did more than just what others saw on the surface.
Why he wanted to deal with Jin Shengchang, why he arranged for fleas to enter the government office, and why he even founded Dafu Dog and fed so many people at the bottom of the world all had profound meanings.
Lin Ye said that he was on the road to death, but it was not just a matter of solitude.
He also said that he has never been a good person.
It's just that he is used to doing good things, he is not a good person, and he does not do evil.
My mind is spinning over and over again.
After connecting all these things together, Lin Ye understood the situation at this time.
More than ten years later, who would have thought that the blood debt after that bloody battle would actually be settled.
Tuoba Lie needs someone like Lin Ye to remind Emperor Jade that he has not forgotten what happened back then.
Lin Ye needed someone like Tuoba Lie to remind Emperor Jade that there must be an explanation for what happened back then.
So Lin Ye had to go to Dongbo to greet the delegation.
Only by letting the emperor know his name can the emperor think of Liu Jigong.
Of course the emperor will not feel guilty. If he did, he would not have punished or rewarded.
But doesn’t the emperor need to mention Liu Jigong’s name again at this time?
The emperor is not stupid.
That was the Jade Emperor who turned the tide and restored imperial power. He was the most ruthless member of the Xie family in the past hundred years.
