Chapter 712 Speculation
Looking at Li Deshun, he breathed out.

Li Deshun said: "When the military supplies were just distributed, there was a small commotion, but it was quickly resolved by the Marquis. When I returned, those soldiers... those soldiers fought bloody battles in single clothes without any resentment. Emotionally, everyone is fighting with high spirits.”

When the emperor heard this, Panasonic was so angry that he was angry. But as the worry gradually dissipated, his anger became more intense!Along with it, there is also heartache and chills.

Those are all his people and soldiers!Fighting for him on the battlefield...

In this kind of weather, Kyoto is so cold that the ground dragons are burning, and they are still wearing single clothes...

Li Deshun finished speaking. Seeing the anger on the emperor's brows, Gu Yuqing pretended to be shocked and looked at Li Deshun, "Didn't I send you cotton-padded clothes? Why are those soldiers fighting in single clothes? In such weather in Liaodong, Not to mention marching and fighting, if you just stand there wearing single clothes, you will freeze to death. What about cotton clothes? Why don't they wear cotton clothes?"

Li Deshun turned his face slightly, not looking directly at Gu Yuqing, and replied: "The stuffing in the cotton-padded clothes we sent was not cotton wool, but reed catkins. As soon as those clothes were distributed, careful soldiers discovered that they were in the camp at that time. There was a commotion, and in order to calm the public anger, the Marquis temporarily withheld the clothes and found a way to replace the reed catkins with cotton."

As he said that, Li Deshun sighed, "It's just a place like that. I don't know what the Marquis is going to do. On the day I went there, it was snowing heavily. The snow reached my knees. I was even cold in my thick cotton clothes. Those soldiers..."

After saying this, Li Deshun choked up and couldn't speak anymore. He turned his head aside and pursed his lips tightly.

Gu Yuqing watched Xiao Yi's reaction calmly.

After Li Deshun finished speaking, Xiao Yi's eyes, which had always been full of gloom, dissipated for a moment, and he opened his mouth and said, "Who is so crazy that he actually tampered with military supplies? He should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!" He said with anger. Ying.

Hearing this, the emperor looked into Xiao Yi's eyes and couldn't help but become a little gloomier.

Although Gu Zhen's letter did not mention who was responsible for the military supplies, he did mention that the Liaodong court had an exchange of letters with an unknown minister of our court, which seemed to be a mutual benefit. He had no definite evidence. He only reminded the emperor in the letter to pay more attention to the developments in Beijing.

Feng Ning's hands are tight, secretly exchanging military supplies, this kind of thing is definitely not something that ordinary officials can do.

Who could it be... Involuntarily, the emperor's eyes flickered on Xiao Yi and Gongsun Mu.

Just as Xiao Yi finished speaking and the emperor was deep in thought, Gu Yuqing spoke up and said: "Your Majesty, please change the cotton-padded clothes to reed catkins. Not to mention that such behavior will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of our soldiers. I am afraid that if my father does not make a decisive decision and deal with it properly, A military riot is bound to break out."

"Since someone is deliberately exchanging military supplies, I don't know what his intentions are. But just now, these forged letters written by His Highness the Third Highness directly accuse my father of collaborating with the enemy. These two things are too much. Let’s live by coincidence.”

"My daughter previously suspected that His Highness the Third Highness deliberately plotted to murder and frame my father in order to eliminate dissidents. At this time, I also suspect that these military supplies are the handiwork of His Highness."

How could Xiao Yi tolerate Gu Yuqing's exposure? He immediately said angrily: "You're talking nonsense..."

However, his words were cut off by the emperor, "Let her finish!"

Gu Yuqing ignored Xiao Yi, and after the emperor finished speaking, he continued: "My lord, I will make a hypothesis. Your Majesty, please wait and see if it is reasonable."

"you say!"

"What if, as early as August [-]th, before the team escorting the military supplies set off, His Highness the Third Prince began to plot to frame his daughter's father? He first quietly changed the cotton-padded clothes and concealed them from others, and then when Li Deshun and others set off, he began to search around A skilled calligrapher, he imitated the handwriting of my daughter’s father and produced many forged letters to the enemy.”

"Presumably, in the Liaodong camp, there was an insider of the Third Highness next to my father. When the cotton clothes were delivered, a riot broke out. That person was anxious, but before my father could suppress the riot, he sent a message to the Third Highness. The Third Highness got the news in Beijing. , he bribed Wang Daosheng, the scribe of the Ministry of War, and used his wife and daughter as threats to ask him to cooperate with his actions. At some unknown time, he secretly placed the perjured evidence he had made in my Chinanhou Mansion."

"If I hadn't discovered something fishy in these forged letters and exposed them, I'm afraid the Third Highness's scheme would have succeeded. After all, collaborating with the enemy is a big deal. No matter how much Your Majesty trusts my father, he will inevitably not be suspicious and send you People go to check it out, and when the time comes, His Highness the Third Highness will bribe the person who goes to visit again."

"As long as this person kills my daughter's father in the Liaodong battlefield first and then reports it, and when he returns to the capital, he will report back according to the agreement between him and the Third Highness. Then the whole plan is..."

What Gu Yuqing said were all facts, so from beginning to end, Xiao Yi listened to every word like a drumstick beating his heart. As he listened, he felt the blood rushing through his body.

Before Gu Yuqing could finish speaking, he couldn't help but growl again, "That's enough, this is just your guess. I have already said that Wang Daosheng's incident was not instigated by me at all. As for why he said that, I The king doesn’t know that I am also a victim!”

Gu Yuqing ignored Xiao Yi and only said to the emperor: "These are my conjectures based on everything that happened before me. Although there is no complete evidence, it is not impossible. I hope your majesty can use it as a reference and restore my father's innocence." .”

As he said that, Gu Yuqing suddenly remembered something, and said: "Also, if everything is as I said just now, then the third highness is trying to harm my father, and secondly, his main target should be the fourth highness. .”

"After all, in those forged letters, it was mentioned that His Highness the Fourth Highness collaborated with the enemy together with my daughter's father."

Xiao Yu is the emperor's most beloved prince, and the emperor's attitude is particularly different when it comes to Xiao Yu.

"If you want to talk nonsense, I can't stop you. Anyway, the commander of the imperial army has gone to my palace to search, and there will be results soon. Those who are clean will be cleansed. Whatever you say, I am upright and not afraid of the shadow! "

Xiao Yi put on a posture as if real gold is not afraid of fire.

Gu Yuqing sneered, "The innocent will indeed purify themselves! I hope His Highness is innocent so that His Majesty's heart will not be hurt. You are a dignified prince, and you and His Highness are flesh and blood. If the means are so despicable and dirty, I am really worried for Your Majesty." , if it turns out that everything was done by you, will Your Majesty be so angry that he faints?"

Xiao Yi clenched her fists with hatred, feeling more and more regretful in her heart.

As he was talking, the wooden door of the royal study room was pushed open again. This time, it was not the chamberlain who reported back, but the commander of the imperial army who entered directly. Behind him, followed a woman and a girl who was only about two years old, who was hugged tightly by her. In arms.
