"Father, my son and I don't know!"
While speaking, Liu Qi slowly stood up and looked directly at Emperor Qing who was sitting in the seat, not feeling any fear at all because of his coercive power.
"Liu Qi, do you dare to deny? The battle of Beiping City was started because of you, and Prince Su died on the battlefield. As the commander of an army, Yu Pengji should be punished by the court even if he is guilty of losing the battle against the Xiongnu. You, Liu Qi, privately What’s the motive behind executing the beheading? Isn’t it considered a crime to do this?”
Faced with Emperor Qing's stern questioning, Liu Qi was neither humble nor overbearing. He even laughed.
"Father, my sons and ministers are all involved in this battle. Why do you say it started because of your sons and ministers?"
Before Emperor Qing said anything, he heard Yang Wenyuan cough slightly from behind him and stood up immediately.
Liu Qi looked back and saw that the ministers were all eager to give it a try. It seemed that they had been prepared for a long time.
After Yang Wenyuan stood up, he didn't even look at Liu Qi and bowed slightly to Emperor Qing who was sitting there.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Huns attacked Daqing because of the crown prince. He did things that humiliated the Huns in Pingcheng and made the local defenders do it in Beiping Pass. , use straw men dressed as Huns for training."
"Not only that, the Huns will never offend me in Daqing."
Hearing this, Liu Qi sneered.
"Master Yang, since you know so clearly, don't you know that the Xiongnu retreated not long after they arrived at Beiping Pass?"
What surprised Liu Qi slightly was that Yang Wenyuan, an old bum, actually shook his head.
“Your Highness, I don’t know this!!”
"What I know is that the Xiongnu army is invading, but the prince did not report this news to the court."
"What I know is that the Xiongnu army has been stationed near Beiping Pass for many days, and the prince just took the northern border and his own troops to provide support."
"And after arriving at Beiping Pass, not only did you do nothing, you didn't even let the soldiers build fortifications."
"That's all. In the end, you actually made peace with the Huns. Not only did you say that you would lose your power and humiliate the country, but you also promised the Huns that you would give them a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and property in the coming year."
"I would like to ask, Your Highness, is this your so-called method of retreating from the Huns? Is this your attitude towards fighting the Huns?!!"
As soon as Yang Wenyuan finished speaking, some ministers in the court were dumbfounded. Others shook their heads and sighed, seeming to be very disappointed with the prince's actions.
When they thought about it, it seemed that the prince's behavior of asking the Huns to retreat was not even as good as General Yu's direct battle with the Huns.
At this time, Li Shouting suddenly stood up. He looked at the prince, then lowered his head, facing Emperor Qing, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Liu Qi, Liu Qi, aren't you bullying an old minister?
Things turn around, did you ever think that day, it would be your turn again today!
"Your Majesty, I can testify to what Mr. Yang said!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
First he looked at the prince, and then faced Emperor Qing who was sitting in the seat, and immediately showed an expression of great grievance.
"Your Majesty, I never expected that His Highness would be so vengeful. The old minister was ordered by the Emperor to summon the Prince back to the city, whether it was to take back the Prince's military power or to tell the Prince to return as soon as possible. Your Highness also did not say that I was completely I don’t know what His Highness’s plan is!”
"However, when His Highness came back and received the merits and rewards from the court, he immediately began to blame the ministers."
"He threatened the old minister, either to negotiate with the Xiongnu, and if the negotiation was good, he would stop fighting with the Huns. Or he would let the old minister's son lead troops to capture the Nagaluqin River Tao."
"The old minister had no choice but to agree to the negotiation between the prince and the Xiongnu. At this point, the prince began to do all kinds of things to deliberately anger the Xiongnu. This is obviously the death of the old minister!"
"Fortunately, when the old minister arrived at the Huns, the Chanyu treated me with great courtesy and did not make things difficult for him, so he was saved from suffering. But after the Chanyu knew about the prince's behavior, he was very angry, so he sent all his troops to attack our border at Daqing. In fact, the Xiongnu have absolutely no intention of harassing us. Daqing, as a powerful country, had not forced us to a certain point, how could they dare to do this?"
Li Shouting said a lot, and every word pointed out Liu Qi's absurdity and that this disaster was all caused by the prince. Instead, it turned out that the Huns were innocent.
This is not over yet.
Next, another minister stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, according to the news obtained by Wei Chen, after General Yu and Prince Su arrived at Beiping Pass, the Huns indeed retreated, but they were stationed less than a hundred miles away from Beiping Pass."
"Such a state shows that even if the prince lowered his head and begged the Huns for mercy, not only did it have no effect, but it actually made the Huns begin to hesitate whether to attack our border at Daqing."
"At this point, General Yu made a decisive decision and ordered the whole army to attack immediately, so as to catch the Xiongnu off guard. At the same time, he wanted to show off the power of our Daqing army and never let the Xiongnu dare to offend our Daqing."
"No, the Huns are cunning. General Yu's army was ambushed, and Prince Su went to rescue them."
"I heard that after Prince Su left, the Huns' army formation was in chaos, and there was already a chance to counterattack. Unfortunately, General Qin Wei suddenly came out, causing the Huns to regroup, and General Yu missed the opportunity to counterattack."
"General Yu had no choice but to lead the army and break through desperately."
"According to normal circumstances, if an army comes to support at this time, not only will the army be able to break out with very small losses, but Prince Su will not be seriously injured or die as a result."
"The reason is that His Highness led the army to Beiping Pass and mismanaged it. He did not send troops to directly support him. Instead, he wanted to take advantage of the situation and sent General Wood to attack the opponent's Chinese army camp, hoping to capture it. The leader Zhamuhe then sent General Han Zhong to burn the enemy's grain and grass."
"Judging from their actions, it was clear that they were not going to provide support, but to take advantage of the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds!! Therefore, General Yu and the others fought their way out, and then met General Wood who returned without success before returning to Beiping Pass."
"When they arrived at Beiping Pass, Prince Su failed to treat him in time. The prince blamed General Yu for all the crimes and chopped him to death without even giving him a chance to explain."
"Your Majesty! Do we still have laws in Daqing? Is this what the prince of Daqing did? After hearing this, I was really horrified!"
Not only this minister, but also the courtiers suddenly became uproar after hearing what he said.
Anyone who listens to these words will feel that all this happened because of the prince. Whether it was the Huns' disaster, the failure of General Yu's army to receive support, or the death of Prince Su and General Yu, they were all blamed on the prince. on the body.
As the saying goes, there is no need to blame someone if you want to.
At this time, Liu Qi was extremely angry and laughed.
These civil servants have really mastered their ability to confuse right and wrong.
Such nonsense actually sounds like the truth.
However, what made Liu Qi even more depressed was that Emperor Qing who was present at the table shouted fiercely.
"Liu Qi, can you plead guilty?"
