Father is on top, I was wrong

Yuri, Lin Yun returned from Changping, rode his horse into the city, and dismounted before Xingyuan.

"Prime Minister, at the end of the day, Shen Xian had already placed food and grass in the Xieshi Valley. He had already guessed that the Prime Minister was about to withdraw, so he helped us arrange the food and grass. We are on the way to withdraw, just go and get it."

Wen Wujue was slightly surprised, but then very relieved.

The whole army is so united, and the logistics generals are very diligent. Even if the country's fortunes are difficult now, why worry about the future?

He nodded, "That's it, soldiers and horses in the army, you need to tidy up,? We will leave for Beijing tomorrow."

Lin Yan paused, "So fast? The emperor hasn't come back yet?"

Wen Wujue waved his hand, "There's no need to wait for him. Things are urgent in Beijing, I have to go back early."

This time back to Beijing, Wen Wujue left Li Ling behind to guard Liangcheng, first to support Xiao Gui, and secondly to deter Beiyan who was still watching outside Liangcheng.

The Pingyang official road that the troops withdrew took, passing through Beimang Mountain.

Beiman Mountain is towering and majestic, with lush greenery. In the desolate and ashen northern border, it is covered with only one piece of green.

Because the mountain is full of pine trees, there are almost no other tree species, so no matter how dry and cold the winter is, the mountain is still full of greenery.

When Wen Wujue heard Lin Yan's report that he had arrived at Beiman Mountain, his mind moved.

He stretched out his fingers to lift the car curtain and looked out.

The place where the original body died in the book.

In a world of ice and snow, the entire army is out of food, everyone can only eat bark and grass roots, crushed pine leaves, and swallowed them with ice and snow. It became an extremely tormenting thing.

Even so, he was still chased and killed by the enemy in the end, leaving only a few remnants protecting the original body, starving to death here together.

The cause of all this is that Xiao Gui deliberately cut off the food and grass of the army, killing everyone.

Before Wen Wujue put on the book, his teeth itch when he read it.But coming here, after spending so long with Xiao Gui, he always felt a little weird.

Judging from Xiao Gui's character, although he is impulsive and reckless, he is not a vicious person in essence.

He couldn't imagine that such a vicious thing would be done by him.

Wen Wujue looked at it for a while, then put down the curtain, closed his eyes and rested.

In any case, before the future happened, he didn't care about it, but he also had to be on guard. In the future, everything about food and grass would not go through Xiao Gui's hands, and he didn't need to know about it.

At this time, someone knocked on the shaft of the carriage, and the sound was dull.

"Prime Minister." It was Tang Yu.

Wen Wujue lifted the car curtain to let him in, "What's wrong?"

"Prime Minister, a meteor horse sent the emperor's battle report just now. The letter said that the emperor has captured the two cities east of Liangcheng, and now he is heading south. The southern city is waiting for the wind to fall. In a few days, you can be a teacher." gone."

Wen Wujue clapped his hands, "Very good, everything is within expectation."

Tang Yu was pinching the slightly blood-stained letter in his hand, which was obviously stained after writing it on the battlefield.

"Xiaguan is strange. Why did the emperor send the battle report to Xiaguan?"

Tang Yu was full of doubts, isn't the prime minister in charge?What's the matter with passing it on to him?

He can't do it.

Wen Wujue took the letter with a calm expression, only to see that the handwriting on it was like a dog crawling, scribbled and rough, no need to read the content to know that it was written by Xiao Gui.

Tang Yu didn't know what was going on, but Wen Wujue knew it well.

He didn't tell him that he was going back to Beijing, but he left while he was going on an expedition. The dog emperor was angry with him.

Thinking of the words he said before going out for the battle, Wen Wujue felt blocked, and said angrily, "Don't worry about him."

When we arrived in Bianjing, the harsh winter passed, and early spring emerged, the mountains outside the city became a little green, and there were more pedestrians on the official road.

The civil and military courtiers were already waiting in line at the gate of the city, and when the chariots and horses were parked, Wen Wujue got off the chariot, and everyone lowered their hands and bowed.

"Meet the Prime Minister."

The courtiers were all dressed in dark court clothes, well-dressed, but Wen Wujue, with his old fox fur, was still dressed in the same clothes as before.

The road is full of wind and dust, even if the face is like jade, it is still a dusty pearl, losing its brightness.

But no one dared to underestimate him.

Wen Wujue stepped forward slowly, and said lightly, "Excuse me."

As soon as he finished speaking, before he had time to enter the city, a young official suddenly stepped forward and blocked his way.

"May the prime minister uphold justice."

Wen Wujue paused, and recognized this person as Liu Xuan, Taixue's sacrificial wine.

"Master Liu, is there something important?"

Liu Xuan's face was sad and indignant, and the anger could not be concealed in his tone, and he looked a little crazy.

"The prime minister is away on an expedition, so he doesn't know about it. Recently, many major events have occurred in Beijing, which are shocking. First, the Xue family child beat a civilian girl in public, but he got away with it. Then the Tai student reported this matter to Yushitai, known as the imperial court. No one from Zhongqingliu's Yushitai came forward to deal with it, until Guo Xuanzhi heard about this matter, locked Xue's son in prison, and sentenced him to death. Unexpectedly, Mr. Guo was murdered just a few days after Xue's son died. died!"

Wen Wujue put his hand on his shoulder, and comforted him: "I already know about this matter, and the details need to be investigated. Can Mr. Guo go to the ground now?"

"The eldest son of the Guo family is in great grief. He refuses to let his father go to the ground. He still stays at his home, saying that he wants to seek justice for Mr. Guo!"

Liu Xuan suddenly turned his head to face Xue Sizhong, with a stern expression on his face, but he spoke to Wen Wujue, "Prime Minister, no one dared to take care of this matter because of the fear of the Xue family, and the humble position is just A small Taixue sacrificial wine has no right to deal with it. Now only the Prime Minister can seek justice for Mr. Guo!"

He insisted on seeking justice with three sentences, and his words even directly attacked Xue's family, which undoubtedly tore his face.

Xue Sizhong was always a smiling tiger, and he couldn't help it at this time.

"Prime Minister, the child's beating to death of a civilian girl has already paid for his life. As a father, he has nothing to say. It's just that Mr. Liu's words both imply that the subordinate officials killed Mr. Guo. The officials will hold him accountable for slandering the courtiers."

Liu Xuan suddenly sneered, "Without evidence? When did the 'rumours and events' need evidence? Or Mr. Xue is guilty and won't let others talk about it?"

Xue Sizhong said: "'Words play things', that is the power of the Yushitai. Mr. Liu is a small sacrificial wine, and he does not manage the Imperial Academy all day long, but tells stories and neglects his duties. Does it mean that officials don't want to do it?"

"Gone with rumors" is a national policy set by the first emperor, and the power of Qingliu was granted to Yushitai alone. The officials of Yushitai have the responsibility of impeaching officials. In order to better supervise the courtiers, the first emperor allowed them without definite evidence. , as long as you hear about something, you can impeach Chen Zou.

Once verified, it will be included in the performance of Yushitai officials.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the government and power were unstable, and it was difficult to guarantee that someone would have a different heart.The first emperor's strategy can encourage officials to impeach each other and open up their voices, which is a good thing.

Even today, this policy has become a weapon used by North Korean and Chinese officials to attack each other, with few benefits and many disadvantages.

Wen Wujue stopped their quarrel, "This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly before a conclusion can be drawn."

After all, he didn't look at the two of them, he leaned on the shaft to get into the carriage, and only said to the sergeants on both sides: "First go to Mr. Guo's residence to express condolences."

Walking along the official road at the gate of the city into Bianjing Long Street, passing through many neighborhoods, Wen Wujue sat in the carriage with his ears outside.

Along the way, I heard a lot of folk opinions.

"The Prime Minister is going to the Guo Mansion to express his condolences?"

"Master Guo was killed, the Prime Minister must know it well!"

"Now that the prime minister is back, let's see how arrogant the Xue family is!"

"But look at the guy surnamed Xue at the back, shaking his head and tail, but he's not afraid."

……

From a distance, one can see that the inside and outside of Guo's mansion are completely plain, two white lanterns are swinging at the gate, and the gatekeeper is wearing a white silk belt around his waist, with a dull expression on his face.

The carriage stopped outside Guo's mansion, and the sharp-eyed young man recognized the prime minister, and immediately went to report it.

Wen Wujue stopped him, "No need to go, I'll go in by myself."

Pass through the front hall, before reaching the middle hall, you can hear the sad sound of chanting sutras, occasionally suppressed crying.

The boy leading the way hastened a few steps, and trotted to report to a boy kneeling in front of the mourning hall.

The boy froze for a moment, then turned his head to look.

The next moment, he let out a loud howl with a stern voice, "Prime Minister! Please make the decision for my father!" As soon as Wen Wujue stepped into the threshold, someone hugged his leg. Lift him up.

Guo Xuan doesn't have many heirs, only one son and one daughter. The eldest son is this young man, who looks immature, about 15 years old.

It's really pitiful to lose his father at such a young age, and I'm afraid he will have to support the whole family in the future.

Wen Wujue comforted him in a soft voice, "Don't be impatient, my lord, please allow me to burn a stick of incense to Mr. Guo first."

Next to him, a middle-aged woman with red eyes bowed her head and handed him the incense she had lit.

Wen Wujue estimated her age, guessing that she should be Guo Xuanzhi's widow.

After burning the incense, Wen Wujue patiently listened to Mr. Guo's talk about Guo Xuanzhi's murder.

So far, he has listened to it no less than three times.

What Mr. Guo said is similar to Liu Xuan's, there is nothing new, they all think that the person who killed his father is the Xue family, but they can't come up with definite evidence.

Xue Sizhong is the murderer, no one doubts that, including Wen Wujue.

However, Xue Sizhong is an important minister in the court, and the Xue family is a century-old family, holding more than a quarter of the country's money and food in his hands. Such a person wants to be imprisoned without evidence, but he can't.

Mr. Guo looked sad and disappointed, "It is said that the prime minister is wise, and I also know that the one who killed my father can only be Xue Sizhong! Can there be anyone else? Why is the prime minister trying to push back? Could it be that the prime minister is also colluding with them? Yet?"

"Xin Nian!" The woman next to her suddenly said, her voice was gentle and soft, but it landed loudly, "You can't be rude to the prime minister."

The boy couldn't bear the pain, but he had to listen to his mother, lowered his head, and clenched his fists.

Wen Wujue sighed, wrapped his arms around the young man's thin shoulders, and said in a low voice: "My lord, remember, if you want to avenge your father, it's useless to act emotionally. The situation in the court is complicated, and you can achieve something by following the trend. When the situation is unfavorable and your ability is not enough to destroy the enemy, you can only endure, understand?"

The young man looked at him with red eyes, half understanding, trying to suppress his sadness.

Wen Wujue's words stop at the end, whether he can listen to it or not is up to him.
