Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 639 Entering the Palace ([-])

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yuan Zhen's eyes narrowed into slits.

Qin Fengye raised his eyebrows.

The officials lowered their heads even lower.

Bai Ming raised his head slightly and looked at Emperor Yuan Zhen, whose face was as sinking as water. He spoke every word very clearly:
"I have blood letters jointly signed by people from Qiang City, Jing City, Liancheng City, Yao City and Ping City, as well as confessions from many officials in these five cities."

"The people of the five cities and these officials can all testify that when the Northern Yan army pressed on the border, Li Xianzhao not only abandoned the city and fled, but also issued an order to these traitors, ordering them to open the door to meet the enemy!"

Hearing this, Qin Fengye snorted coldly: "Princess Anning, please be patient. Some things can't be done just by shouting loudly."

"You said you have these evidences, but the source of these evidences is not from the Ministry of Justice, nor from officials sent by His Majesty. First of all, the source of this evidence is illegal."

"To put it more seriously, can I understand that the evidence collected by the princess was obtained by the princess using special methods?"

Not to be outdone, Bai Mingwei retorted: "Since Master Taishi can't believe it so much, why not go to the border to verify everything in person?"

Qin Fengye sneered: "I only raised reasonable doubts, why is the princess so anxious? Did I poke the princess's mind and make the princess angry?"

Bai Ming raised his lips slightly: "I wonder when the Grand Master received the holy order to take care of Li Xianzhao's matter? Or is it that the Grand Master is acting on his behalf and doing things for His Majesty?"

Qin Fengye wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Bai Mingwei.

"If Your Majesty leaves this matter to the Grand Master, I will handle the matter no matter how big or small it is. I will explain it to the Grand Master one by one. Since the Grand Master has no holy mandate, I would like to ask the Grand Master not to interrupt."

"His Majesty just now said, don't waste everyone's time. I haven't finished speaking yet, and the Grand Master has so much to say. When can I finish speaking?"

Qin Fengye was furious. He wanted to speak again, but Taifu Song Chengzhang beat him to it: "Your Majesty! It concerns the lives of [-] soldiers and the reasons why several cities on the border were lost."

"It involves the serious crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy. This matter is not trivial. If it is handed over to the Grand Master, I will be the first to disagree!"

Shen Zian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, quickly agreed: "I ask your Majesty to personally take charge of this matter! This will calm the minds of the soldiers and civilians on the border and let the soldiers guarding the border and the people living on the border know that your Majesty is protecting them."

"Secondly, it also serves as a warning to those thieves with different intentions. Anyone who collaborates with the enemy and treason will not escape the sanction of the national law. What awaits them is not only His Majesty's justice and strictness, but also the wrath of all officials and people in the world."

Some people from Taifu Song Chengzhang, Shen Zian'an's ministers, and ministers who had received favors from Bai Weiyong immediately requested:
"I implore Your Majesty to personally review this matter so that the soldiers and civilians on the border can feel at ease and provide justice to the world so that the rebellious ministers and traitors receive the punishment they deserve!"

The atmosphere was heightened to this point, and Qin Fengye's way of trying the matter was blocked. It would be impossible if Emperor Yuan Zhen did not handle the matter personally.But before that, Emperor Yuan Zhen was mentally prepared. As Qin Fengye said, everyone is dead, and it doesn't cost much money to give him some mourning and honor.

If Bai Mingwei could just accept the situation, he would be willing to give the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in Yinshan the honor of a martyr.

Thinking of this, he sat upright and looked at Bai Mingwei with gentle eyes: "An Ning, please continue."

Bai Ming's slightly clear voice continued to resound in the hall: "In addition, I have witnesses, and that is the survivor of the Yinshan battle, my seventh brother, Bai Yu, the young city guard at the time."

"He can prove all the crimes Li Xianzhao committed during the time when he abandoned the city and fled to Pingcheng!"

"It can also prove how Li Xianzhao colluded with the Beiyan people to poison the water sources of the [-] soldiers when they were resisting the enemy, so that the soldiers lost their ability to resist the enemy and eventually became the dead souls of the sword!"

At this point, Bai Ming was silent for a moment, and then raised his voice: "Li Xianzhao's crimes are too numerous to describe! On behalf of the [-] soldiers who died unjustly in Yinshan, I beg your Majesty to give them justice!"

Before Emperor Yuanzhen could speak, Qin Fengye spoke again: "Princess Anning, please allow me to raise questions."

"You collected the evidence, and the witnesses are your own family members. It is difficult for me not to doubt that it is false to clear the grievances of [-] soldiers, but it is true to exonerate your father, uncle and brother."

"After all, the commander-in-chief at that time was your father, uncle, and brother. It was obviously their poor use of troops that led to the annihilation of the entire army of [-] soldiers."

"You don't want to admit that they are cowards and a disgrace to Dongling, so you found Li Xianzhao as a scapegoat and wanted to pin all your faults on Li Xianzhao."

"Once Li Xianzhao's charges are proven, your father, uncle, and brothers will transform from shame and cowards into heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country."

As he spoke, Qin Fengye's voice was filled with countless sarcasm, and even a hint of pride.

He watched Bai Mingwei pleadingly complaining about the grievances of tens of thousands of soldiers as if watching a good show.

Seeing Bai Mingwei try his best to prove their innocence, but there is no other way except begging Jinshang.

Finally, he sneered again and again: "Bai Mingwei, you are really brave enough to go to such an extent to exonerate your relatives."

"But did you know that slandering others and trying to fool His Majesty is a capital offense? After all, you are a woman and you are young. It is normal to make mistakes. I really don't want to see you get into trouble."

"I kindly advise you to put aside your petty thoughts and admit your mistake to His Majesty, but don't persist in your stubbornness and seek death!"
