Chapter 289 You Can't Convince Me
The hall is majestic and solemn.
The expression on everyone's face is different.
Xu Yuan stood there quietly, and when his eyes met the prince, he paused for a moment, then looked away.
Madam Hua, Qiu Ying and their group went up to the palace, followed by countless people.
Finally, there are the monks and embroiderers from Putuo Temple.
Seeing this, many people turned away with a guilty conscience, just because of the unjust case of the Xu family more than 20 years ago, they either sat back and watched, or added fuel to the fire, or even added insult to injury.
So, when the truth is about to be revealed.
They will be ashamed.
After the last embroiderer arrived, outside the hall, Shen Yijie, also dressed in white, lifted his sleeves and walked in. However, he did not stand in front of the civil officials, but stood among the witnesses.
Bei Yu said: "Master Shen, what do you mean?"
"In the case of the Xu family, I am also a witness. If the Xu family can be vindicated, I will not be worthy of wearing this white shirt. If not, I will hit my head and die in this hall, so that the emperor and all the people can see how the late emperor forced the Xu family to death."
"Shen Yijie!"
Bei Yu's face turned completely dark.
He stood up and looked at everyone in the hall.
"If the Xu family has any injustice, I will investigate it myself. What are you trying to do? Do you think I am stupid and incompetent, just like Xu Yuan?!"
Shen Yijie chuckled when he heard this and said, "When the Xu family got into trouble, Prime Minister Qi wrote a list of Xu family students. That list has been in the palace all this time. Because there are too many people, it is impossible to banish them all at once. We can only do it gradually. Has the emperor noticed that since you ascended the throne, people have continued to be banished from the capital?"
Shen Yiji raised his hand and pointed at Qiu Ying.
"This is one of them. The white shirts in the hall today are all civil and military officials who were banished from the capital. Your Majesty, do you know how loyal they are to Tianqi?"
"Even if they wanted to seek justice for themselves, they never thought of leaving their jurisdiction. Instead, they asked their children to listen to the drumbeat of redress for them. Some even waited their entire lives but never received an imperial edict to return to Beijing."
"If the emperor works hard to govern, will he not discover these problems? How many people in this court have participated in the Xu family's unjust case? Can the emperor really be determined to give justice to the Xu family?"
Upon hearing this, Bei Yu couldn't help but look at Qi Chengen.
Qi Chengen lowered his eyes and said, "Twenty years ago, the emperor was still young and knew very little about the Xu family. Since Grand Tutor Shen wanted to seek justice for the Xu family, as a Grand Tutor, he should also know that this method is wrong."
"Today, this old man..."
"Your Majesty, Master Shen doesn't need to say anything." Xu Yuan interrupted Shen Yijie and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, Master Shen did this just to protect me. On the way to the palace, I think Master Shen was ready to exchange his life for mine. The crime of deceiving the emperor should be severely punished. Otherwise, if everyone makes a scene like me, where is the dignity of the royal family?"
"When I arrived in the capital and saw the hometown where my father grew up, I was ready to die. Someone asked me why I was so eager to die. I said that no one is born without fear of death. In fact, this statement is wrong. I am not afraid of death. I am only afraid that the grievances of the Xu family will not be cleared. So, even if I die, I will not be able to close my eyes."
Bei Yu lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Shen Yiji looked at Xu Yuan and sighed softly.
The more Xu Yuan did this, the more guilty Shen Yijie felt, for he had not been able to help in any way.
Isn't it smart to make a wish?
clever.
She used herself as a pretext to make the matter a big fuss in the city, forcing the emperor to take it seriously.
But the premise is that the price she pays may be death.
Xu Yuan is only sixteen years old this year, and has just reached the age for marriage.
You have to carry so many things like a man, and even do it better than a man.
Shen Yiji really didn't want Xu Yuan to die for the crime of deceiving the emperor.
But he couldn't think of any way to save Xuyuan.
I can only make myself the same as making a wish.
After a long while, Bei Yu waved his hand and said, "Sun Wenjie, this case is your responsibility."
Hearing this, Sun Wenjie turned around and said, "Miss Xu, you are the one who found all the witnesses. I think you are familiar with the case, so you can tell the story."
"it is good."
Xu Yuan nodded, and then said: "In that case, I will take over your duties."
"Twenty years ago, one of my uncles took office as a general. It was also from that time that rumors about the Xu family taking control of the court and wanting to rebel spread everywhere in the capital."
"From then on, the Xu family was searched every day. If they failed once, they would search again. Until the emperor's robe and a letter from Wakashu Khan were found in the Xu family's house, the Xu family was quickly charged with treason and conspiracy. Within three days, the entire Xu family was imprisoned, and even the three-year-old child Dou was not spared."
"Later, the Xu family was sentenced to exile. On the way to exile, they encountered bandits. Except for my father, all 391 members of the Xu family died."
"Today, Goshu Khan is here, and he has brought a letter from the Great Khan. By comparing them, we can know whether the letter is real or fake."
"Not only that, the imperial robe found in Xu's house was made with Shu embroidery. I have also found the embroiderer who embroidered the imperial robe. This embroiderer was originally a person in the palace. Everyone knows her craft. If the emperor doesn't believe it, just find a female official to come and see it at a glance."
After making the wish, he finally looked at Bei Yu and felt ridiculous.
There are many suspicious points in this case.
And all the evidence can be easily overturned.
But no one listened to the Xu family's explanation.
He was imprisoned in three days and exiled in ten days.
It's not because they think the Xu family is guilty of heinous crimes, but because they are worried about the large number of Xu family members. If thousands of people write a petition requesting a retrial, the Xu family will be cleared of the charges.
This move took ten days, and then it took nearly ten years to eliminate the disciples of the Xu family.
After making a wish, Sun Wenjie said, "Your Majesty, I have checked and the handwriting of the two letters is indeed different. In addition, I have verified the identity of the embroiderer in your Highness, and it is true."
Hearing this answer, Bei Yu was stunned for a moment, "So simple? The letter was not written by Geshu Khan himself, it could have been written by someone else."
"It is true that this embroiderer is from the palace, but she knows Shu embroidery. Maybe she just learned it today. My dear Sun, is your so-called trial so simple?"
"Of course not. Your Majesty, I have considered what you said, but I have verified it with Geshu Khan and the Queen Mother. Only with these two people did I know that these two pieces of evidence were forged."
"absurd!"
Bei Yu slapped the case heavily and mocked, "If it was so simple, how could the case be settled back then? There must be other details in this case that you haven't seen! If the Xu family had no selfish motives, how could rumors spread? If the Xu family had no wolfish ambitions, how could they break off the marriage with the Shen family!"
After the loud shout, Bei Yu's chest rose and fell. He looked at Xu Yuan, but it seemed as if he was looking at another person through Xu Yuan.
"The Xu family is extremely powerful. How could they be imprisoned if there was no evidence? Xu Yuan, you cannot convince me with just these two things."
