The words rang out.
The surroundings have become silent, and there is no sound.
The deep joy that filled the world has been replaced by suppression.
No one expected, not even Yu Renlong, that after Dou Changsheng had just killed Qian Hou, he did not choose to give up when he was ready, but continued Chen Sheng's pursuit and attacked Ye Hou brazenly.
In terms of strength and status, Qianhou is naturally superior to Yehou, but the situations between the two sides are different.
Where they are now is in the Ye Kingdom. Ye Hou is not only a first-level martial arts supreme master, but also the Lord of the Ye Kingdom, with many famous and powerful men under his command.
Qianhou is just a lonely man here, but Yehou represents a country, and the two sides have completely different meanings.
The envoys from Ruli Kingdom no longer dare to say anything. Yehou alone will definitely support Dou Changsheng. However, Yehou has powerful soldiers, hungry helpers, and a large formation. This strength is too strong. If Yehou can be defeated in this way, this It means that one person suppresses a country.
Many envoys from the princes were caught off guard. Ye Hou was not like this. He thought that the overall situation was decided. This time he won the victory. The death case of Prince Qianhou was completely over. He did not expect that Dou Changsheng would stir up an old case and take the initiative to talk about Chen. Years past.
The third generation of Yehou is Yehou's father. To veto the third generation of Yehou is to veto Yehou. This is related to the issue of legal system. Yehou said without hesitation: "Fake."
"In the past, the second generation of Yehou died, and someone in the country started a rebellion. It was my late father who overcame all obstacles and put an end to the chaos as a member of the Ye clan. This was why he was respected by everyone in the Ye Kingdom and became Yehou."
"The position of Marquis Ye was not usurped by my father, but recommended by Duke Ye and recognized by the court."
"These are clear and verifiable things."
"All the relevant evidence is sealed in the Marquis' Mansion. If the Duke wants it, I can send someone to get all the evidence."
Ye Hou's voice is loud and clear, and his words are well-founded and full of convincing power. He can easily win the trust of others. His categorical words can make those with weak minds doubt.
Dou Changsheng shook his head and said: "What did the third generation Yehou do?"
"This is something everyone knows. Even if you deliberately forge evidence and want to clear yourself, it is difficult to stop the world from talking about it."
"Marquis Ye doesn't believe it, so I will naturally convince him."
"Old Chen."
"Bring all the evidence collected."
"The envoys from all countries are here today. They just want to take a look and bear witness."
"Those who do evil must be guilty. It's not that they will not be punished, but that the time has not yet come."
Chen Shenzhen walked out from the side again, holding evidence in his hands. Some items were stained with blood sacrifices, and there were also yellowed papers, and various things were different.
Dou Changsheng slowly stretched out his hand, pulled the yellowed paper from the tea tray held by Chen Shenqin, and said plainly: "It records how the third generation of Ye Hou took the initiative to promote the Ye Kingdom's rebellion."
"This major crisis was entirely caused by the third generation of Ye Hou. The process is recorded in detail above."
Dou Changsheng took out a lot of envelopes from below, looked at the envelopes that should have been destroyed, and continued to speak: "The third generation of Yehou colluded with the important officials of the country, giving the other party the courage to rebel, but betrayed the other party at the last moment , directly carried out beheading operations, thereby settling the chaos."
"The third generation of Yehou has made immortal contributions. When his elder brother and his sons and heirs are all dead, the third generation of Yehou, a powerful uncle, has responded to the country's Lai Changjun. For the sake of the stability of Yeguo, he will not be defeated by the four princes. Peeping, the second generation of Yehou descendants have lost their inheritance rights.”
"But the third generation Ye Hou never thought that he killed the rebellious minister cleanly and without giving the other party time to react. He failed to betray himself, but the truth was not buried. The rebellious minister collected all the original letters and did not destroy them. There are also Everything that happened was recorded in detail in order to leave a piece of evidence.”
"Now all these are here. If the third generation Ye Hou can trust the other party, it must be written by his own hand. The notes on this can be compared with the third generation Ye Hou to determine whether they are true or false."
Dou Changsheng slowly put down the paper in his hand and looked at the other evidence. The incriminating evidence that Chen Shenzhou had taken out seemed to be quite a lot. Many of them were stained with blood and had a strong impact. But in fact, there was a real truth in them. Fake, many things were fake, they were all found by Dou Changsheng at short notice and were forged evidence.
It has been a long time since the original incident, which happened during the reign of Emperor Taizong. It has been more than a hundred years ago. During this long period of time, many things have been lost to time. Coupled with the intentional cover-up by the three generations of Yehou, it is really possible to Very little remains as evidence.
If the third generation of Ye Hou were here now, it would be difficult for Dou Changsheng to convict the other party. The other party had personal experience and could see that Dou Changsheng was deceiving.
But Ye Hou in front of him didn't know that so many criminal evidences and blood stains could be called very impactful.
Dou Changsheng moved slowly and did not announce each item immediately, just to give Ye Hou time to react. When he reached out to touch the next item, Dou Changsheng did not immediately tell the whole story of the evidence, but instead persuaded Ye Hou:
"The third generation of Yehou, the third generation of Yehou, you are you."
"The court understands this clearly. You have no merit but hard work as a Yehou. The court will not wipe out everything just because you are the son of the third generation Yehou."
"However, you will not bear all the guilt of the third generation Yehou, but you cannot escape the connection. The imperial court has always treated Tianwaitian gracefully. As long as you plead guilty, you can take the prince with you and return to the human realm with me, and live in the human realm. Although I will never return to Tianwai Tian again in my life, I will not lose my wealth."
"In accordance with the imperial court's clear rules, Ye Guoguo will be returned to the second generation of Ye Hou descendants, and it will still be run by your Ye family. The imperial court will not have any interference in Ye Guo, and Ye Guo will remain independent."
The list of crimes was huge, including colluding with rebellious ministers and usurping the country and seizing the throne, but the final result was that he was raised high and put down gently.
This gave the other party a step down, and also indicated that the court would not kill everyone, nor would it interfere in Ye's internal affairs.
This result is not for Ye Hou, because Dou Changsheng knows that Ye Hou will definitely not be able to accept it. It is for the envoys of many princes and wealthy nobles to see, to appease their emotions and prevent them from getting hurt. This kind of emotion comes from the sadness of the death of a rabbit and the death of a fox.
Compared with them, Dou Changsheng was not a native of Tianwaitian, and was strictly an outsider.
If they are deliberately provoked, it is easy for them to have repulsive thoughts, which will cause unnecessary confusion.
Dou Changsheng always does things without leaving any consequences. With this result, no one will think that he is ruthless, but will think that he is more lenient. As for killing Ye Hou again, it is because Ye Hou does not know how to commend himself and actually resisted on his own initiative. imperial court.
Dou Changsheng stared at Yehou with sharp eyes, but from the corner of his eye he peered at the many envoys from the vassal states. Seeing their relaxed expressions, they were obviously very satisfied with the results. This handling method of holding it high and putting it down gently hit them right. of itching.
Needless to say, representatives of wealthy nobles, and other envoys from vassal states, all of them are not from prominent backgrounds. As nobles, they naturally do not want to be equal to ordinary civilians. They long for privileges.
And what is this privilege?
That is, after they commit a crime, they will not die at all, but pay a fine or other methods, and then let it go.
They are satisfied because they are not involved. Yehou is the master of a country. In a lawless place like Tianwaitian, Yehou controls the military and civil affairs. It can be said that he is the master of life and death. If he goes to the human realm, he will be the polished commander. .
Without many wings, it means that without huge resources, even if there is no shortage of wealth, the future will be lost.
The prince was originally not talented enough to be able to cultivate the first-level martial arts. He was the supreme master and expected to be the next generation. However, after he went to the human realm, he lost the resource supply of the Ye Kingdom. Not to mention the first-level martial arts, even the second-level martial arts were useless. Thousands of difficulties.
When the time comes for him to die of old age, Ye Hou can tell at a glance that his lineage will decline. It will be difficult for him to become a grandmaster in three generations, and there will be no future at all. If he controls Ye Country, a first-class martial arts may appear in three generations.
The gap between before and after is huge, how could Ye Hou be willing to give up Ye Country.
When Ye Hou was in a fierce inner conflict, Yu Renlong suddenly spoke: "Master Hou, please give up."
"The third generation of Yehou has already made a mistake. You cannot make the same mistake again and again and directly confront the court."
"After going to the human realm, with the strength of the Marquis, there is a lot to do. If you don't lose your wealth in the future, why bother to conflict with the Duke."
"You have also seen the True Dragon Realm, which is invincible in the world and even as powerful as Qianhou, it is vulnerable to a single blow."
"Why bother, Lord Marquis?"
Yu Renlong tried hard to persuade, all his words were for the good of Ye Hou, but Dou Changsheng on the side raised his eyes and looked at the envoy of the country. This envoy was sowing discord, deliberately irritating Ye Hou, so as to complete the dispute between them. Violent conflict.
Such people appear.
Really.
Very good.
Subvert a country and destroy a country.
There is always some asymmetry, one gives birth to two, two gives rise to three, and three gives rise to all things.
To overthrow one country, to destroy two countries, this sounds good.
Originally Ye Hou was just struggling, but after listening to Yu Renlong's words, his eyes had firmed up. At this time, if you fight hard, you can still fight for a future, but if you go to the human realm, it will be a dull knife to cut the flesh. It doesn't seem to be much, but as time goes on, it will be cut sooner or later, and the chance of resistance is completely lost.
Even if he wants to give it a try, he has no ability.
Especially when the human realm is in turmoil, if a first-level martial artist dies, he can easily be used as cannon fodder by the court and die in the chaos of the human realm.
When the time comes, instead of pursuing responsibility, Ye Guo will be happy to see this scene.
So in the end, there was only resistance.
