The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 114 Find Marshal Huo

Wen Xiuzhu fell into deep thought when he heard this. Thinking about it now, Qi Chenglang's attitude was indeed very unreasonable.

He glanced at Gu Yuzhi and whispered: "Your Highness, what Teacher Shu said makes sense. The Huo family may have been wronged."

"Injustice?"

Gu Yuzhi stood up suddenly, frowning and thinking, but after much deliberation, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.

When the corruption case against Marshal Mobei Army was exposed, he was only three years old and didn't know anything yet.

His mother and concubine must have secretly discussed such a big matter, but he didn't remember it at all.

Gu Yuzhi scratched his head: "Xie Changshi should know Marshal Huo."

He still remembered that Xie Changshi looked particularly ugly when he saw something happened at the iron mine. He must have something to do with the Huo family.

He wanted to ask Xie Changshi what was going on, but it was not until noon of the next day that Xie Changshi and other young adults escorted the disaster relief food here.

With the food in hand, the survivors finally showed some smiles. Xie Changshi took over everything and kept busy until he had some time to breathe in the evening.

Taking advantage of this gap, Gu Yuzhi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xie Changshi to an empty space, muttering in a low voice: "Xie Changshi, I want to ask you a question. You have to tell me honestly."

He raised his head and looked at Xie Changshi, and saw Xie Changshi looked surprised: "What do you want to ask, Your Highness?"

"When I arrived late at night, Guard Qi was talking to a man named Huo Liangyao. Xie Changshi, you asked me to send someone to rescue the iron mine before, was it because of the Huo family?"

He puffed up his face, but actually he was a little confused.

The Huo family was converted into exile after amnesty. Even if he wrote to the emperor, the Huo family would not be released.

Xie Changshi cares so much about the Huo family, does he want to rescue the Huo family?
After analyzing it over and over, Wen and Shu both felt that even if the iron mine collapse had not occurred, Xie Changshi would have drawn His Highness's attention to the Huo family sooner or later.

Gu Yuzhi felt that it was too much trouble for him to guess, so he might as well ask Xie Changshi directly. Anyway, Xie Changshi was his official.

As for whether Xie Changshi had something to hide from him, Gu Yuzhi felt that it probably wouldn't be the case. After all, Xie Changshi was the person chosen by the emperor's brother for him.

Xie Changshi didn't expect Gu Yuzhi to think of so many things. With Gu Yuzhi's clear and trusting eyes, he nodded slowly: "Yes!"

He thought carefully and told everything about the Huo family.

"Your Highness, the original Mobei Army actually had another name, Huo Jiajun. Its marshal Huo Qiyuan followed his father into battle to kill the enemy at the age of ten..."

Gu Yuzhi's eyes widened, ten years old?
Marshal Huo is so powerful. Can he go into battle and kill the enemy at such a young age?

He thought with a smile, he was already six years old, but he still couldn't ride a horse alone, let alone ride a horse and shoot.

Frustration instantly enveloped Gu Yuzhi. He glanced at where Guard Qi was standing and saw that Guard Qi's face was ashen.

Many hours have passed, and no one has been dug out of the place where Xue Ye dug. If Marshal Huo is really buried underneath, it will probably be a disaster.He felt a little regretful...

Xie Changshi continued: "More than 20 years ago, Beidi invaded. Huo Qiyuan led the Huo family army to not only successfully defend the whole state, but also led a group of soldiers to attack Huanglong, capture the king of Beidi alive, cut off Beidi's food and grass supply, and annihilated the intruders. There are more than [-] Beidi troops."

When talking about this, Xie Changshi's voice couldn't contain his excitement.

The Sang Dynasty could only be established for a few generations, and it was at war with Beidi almost every year. The treasury was depleted and the people of Mobei suffered.

"In that battle, Huo Qiyuan completely defeated the Beidi people and made the borders of the whole state stable for more than 20 years. The people of Mobei were able to recuperate and the national treasury was filled day by day."

It can be said that without Huo Qiyuan and Huo Jiajun, Mobei would not have developed into what it is today.

And the stability of the border affects not only Mobei.There is no war, which means that a lot of money will not be burned, and the country's taxes can also be reduced a lot, which is a good thing for the entire Sang Dynasty.

Gu Yuzhi looked at Xie Changshi's increasingly agitated look, pursed his lips, and then suddenly said after a while: "So, saying that Marshal Huo is corrupt is a false accusation, right?"

How could such a powerful person embezzle military pay?

Although Gu Yuzhi has never been in the army, he is often with Qi Weiwei and others. He often listens to Qi Weiwei and others talking about whom they miss. They are all members of the Royal Forest Army. They say that they train and fight together and talk about their feelings. How good…

He couldn't understand such emotions, but if it was Marshal Huo and Huo Jiajun was brought out by him, then the relationship between them should be better. How could he embezzle military pay?
Gu Yuzhi's topic changed a bit quickly. Xie Changshi didn't hide himself well. He was like a duck being strangled by the neck. His face turned red. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Yes. The emperor also knew about this, but back then he The person ordered to be beheaded was the late emperor. If the emperor does not have conclusive evidence to prove Huo Qiyuan's innocence, it is impossible for him to overturn the case at will."

The incident happened suddenly, and before the new emperor, who was the crown prince, had time to make arrangements, the emperor had already arrested Huo Qiyuan and others. Without even having a chance to enter the capital, he immediately sentenced Qiu Hou to be beheaded.

While waiting, the new emperor kept looking for evidence, but the other party was too cunning and used another thing to distract all the new emperor's attention.

Seeing that it was almost time for questioning, the late emperor suddenly died, and Huo Qiyuan and others escaped.

The matter was too coincidental. If the late emperor had not been justified in his words, there is really no telling who would be in charge in this world.

It can be said that the embezzlement of military pay by Huo Qiyuan and others was purely caused by taking sides.

However, Xie Changshi does not plan to tell His Highness these things for the time being, and will have to wait a little longer...

Xie Changshi glanced at the young highness without any trace, and gently raised the corners of his lips. The young highness is so smart, maybe he will figure out these things by then.

Of course, Gu Yuzhi didn't think so much now. He nodded his head and said, "Does that mean that now that the emperor has found the evidence, he can overturn the case for Marshal Huo?"

Xie Changshi shook his head slightly: "It is possible, but it is difficult. If the emperor reverses the verdict, he will encounter great resistance, because this is equivalent to telling the world that the late emperor committed a heinous crime. Not only the royal family, but also all civil and military officials I won’t agree to it either.”

You must know that many people in the court were involved in this case.

Not getting a satisfactory answer, Gu Yuzhi felt a little unhappy, pouted and whispered: "So, the emperor is actually very pitiful."

Xie Changshi...

Your Highness, everyone in the world is pitiful, but your imperial brother is the least pitiable!
