The recent major incident in Chu.
There was nothing more important than Su Che betraying Chu.
Although the imperial court had not officially announced this matter to the public.
However, there had been all kinds of rumors among the people.
All kinds of rumors were flying around.
There were all kinds of ridiculous versions.
However, the people were still waiting for the court to give an official answer.
Now, Dou Zhao had written two articles accusing Su Che of his crimes.
This was undoubtedly a signal.
After Su Che's accident, there were two theories circulating among the people.
One reason was that Su Che was framed. As for the reason, it was nothing more than his high achievements shocking his master. In addition, he had offended many people over the years by punishing corrupt officials.
One was Su Che's wild ambition. He had been plotting a rebellion all this while, and everyone had been deceived by his appearance of loyalty and love for the country.
There were people who believed both versions.
However, Xu Yannian's words just now were heard clearly by the surrounding commoners.
He said that Dou Zhao's two articles were pure slander.
If this was said by someone else, it might not mean anything.
However, Xu Yannian's identity was special.
He was the maternal grandfather of the empress.
Since he said so, even those who didn't believe Su Che started to hesitate.
As for those who believed in Su Che.
Now, he was excited.
Seeing Su Che suffer such injustice, they felt indignant. However, their words carried little weight and they couldn't do anything for Su Che.
Now, Xu Yannian had finally stepped forward.
This gave the people who believed in Su Che a glimmer of hope.
"Country Lord, are you trying to frame His Majesty by saying such words on such an occasion?”
Dou Zhao was extremely afraid now.
He was really worried that the empress would chop off his head after this matter spread.
Even though he was the Grand Scribe of the current dynasty and had an extremely high status.
But what was the use?
Su Che had grown up with the empress. Later on, he had made many military achievements and became a famous hero in Chu.
Wouldn't he still be able to kill them as he wished?
Dou Zhao didn't think that he was more important than Su Che in the empress's heart.
Therefore, he was panicking.
If possible.
He wanted to use a piece of cloth to cover Xu Yannian's mouth.
"I beg you, please don't continue.”
Without a doubt, this was what Dou Zhao was thinking.
Because he had a vague feeling.
What Xu Yannian was going to say next would be even more shocking than what he had said before. It might even affect the empress's next series of plans.
And the impact this would have on the country of Chu would be immeasurable!
"I already said, what does this have to do with me?”
Xu Yannian said coldly.
Since he had appeared here today, it meant that he had long disregarded everything.
Xu Yannian only had one thought on his mind.
That was to give up everything, even his life.
He also wanted to seek justice for Su Che!
That was why he didn't let Dou Zhao's son disperse the onlookers.
He just wanted to blow things up.
It would be best if everyone in the Imperial City knew about it!
This way, more and more people in Chu would know that Su Che had been wronged.
Faced with this stubborn Xu Yannian, Dou Zhao almost knelt down and begged him to stop talking.
In fact.
If kneeling was useful.
Dou Zhao would also kneel down without hesitation.
After all, Xu Yannian's qualifications and seniority were there. It was not embarrassing to kneel down to him.
"Dou Zhao, I'm afraid your conscience has been eaten by dogs!”
Xu Yannian picked up the wooden stick on the ground and threw it at Dou Zhao.
Fortunately, Dou Zhao's two sons were considered filial sons.
He rushed forward and blocked the blow for his father.
"Country Lord, enough is enough."
Dou Zhao's eldest son suppressed the anger in his heart and said nicely.
"Dou Huai? Do you think you're worthy of telling me to stop?"
Xu Yannian snorted coldly.
"Look at your father's article. He wrote Su Che as a heinous traitor. Has he ever thought about stopping?”
"Back then, the former emperor was critically ill and His Majesty was only thirteen years old when he ascended the throne.”
" The Xiongnu took the opportunity to invade. Even Northguard Fortress fell. The Xiongnu army marched south. Even the imperial city was in danger.”
"At that time, many ministers advocated moving the capital and abandoning the Imperial City.”
"Who was the one who volunteered to lead only thirty thousand troops to fight against the ferocious hundred-thousand Xiongnu army?”
"Who was the one who charged forward and killed the hundred-thousand-strong Xiongnu army?”
"Who took back the Northguard Fortress, destroyed the Xiongnu Dynasty, and completely eliminated the hidden danger in the northern territory?”
"It's none other than the fifteen-year-old Su Che who is being framed by you all!”
"Of course, you might have forgotten.”
"In history, the Xiongnu people have invaded our Chu territory more than once. Who guarded the northern border for 50 years?”
"It's Su Jing, Great General Su!"
"He's also Su Che's father!"
"If it weren't for Su Jing and Su Che, would you still be living like this?”
"Can our Chu Country still have its current prosperous situation?”
At this point, Xu Yannian's chest heaved violently.
He was truly angry from the bottom of his heart.
"The Su family is full of loyalty, but they ended up like this.”
"You people, your conscience has really been eaten by dogs!”
Xu Yannian pointed at her nose and scolded her.
Dou Zhao was the Grand Scribe, but not only could he not retort, he even had to lower his head and obediently accept it.
After hearing Xu Yannian's words…
He also fell into deep thought.
Those who had believed in Su Che from the beginning to the end all had bloodshot eyes.
Finally, someone with authority stood up for Su Che.
As for those who didn't believe Su Che.
At this moment, he also felt extremely guilty.
But there were exceptions.
For example, there was a person from a powerful family in the crowd.
He stood up and said,
"Country Lord, I admit that Su Che once made great contributions to the Chu Country. Now that the Chu Country has such a prosperous situation, Su Che definitely deserves a lot of credit.”
"However, merits and demerits cannot be treated the same way.”
"Su Che has done well, but that doesn't mean that Lord Taishi's article is slander. Are good people always good people? Would bad people always be bad people?”
"Good people can become bad, and bad people can become good.”
"And Su Che might have been blinded by profit and power and embarked on a path of no return.”
Although those with discerning eyes knew that this was sophistry.
However, there were still many people who were already shaken by it.
After all, whether it was in ancient times or later generations.
There was still a large group of people who did not have their own thoughts at all. They believed whatever others said.
Although someone had finally come out to speak up for him.
However, Dou Zhao was not happy at all.
This person's words would only infuriate Xu Yannian.
It made him even crazier.
It was essentially useless.
As expected,
Xu Yannian was so angry by this person's sophistry that his entire body trembled.
He was very eloquent, and he was also very knowledgeable.
If they really wanted to debate.
This scion from an aristocratic family was no match for Xu Yannian at all.
Xu Yannian didn't want to play the lute to a cow anymore.
He glanced at everyone coldly and said word by word,
"At this moment, I really wish that the Xiongnu would make a comeback and attack the foot of the Imperial City again.”
"Then, I want to see if you trash who are worse than pigs and dogs still have the ability to say such words!”
