Chapter 285 “New Evidence” What do you think?
Ye Wuwei thought silently for a while and said to Ye Hongxia:
“As for the Ye family’s crimes, I will try my best to put the blame on Empress Ye and the Ye family, and will not involve General Ye.
We will also try to downplay what Queen Ye did and protect the reputation of the Ye family."
"This was originally my condition, and since you took the initiative to say it, it's the best.
Whether you admit it or not, you are your father's son after all."
While the two were talking, Qi Wushuang arrived.
Qi Wushuang stood beside Ye Wuwei and bowed to Ye Hongxia: "Senior."
Looking at the two people standing side by side, Ye Hongxia saw that Ye Wuwei was the one being bullied. She looked at Ye Wuwei with disdain:
"Useless things."
Ye Wuwei immediately understood Ye Hongxia's disgust and his face turned red.
"I've given you everything. Remember your promise, or I'll never let you go.
I am leaving. "
After saying that, Ye Hongxia slipped away.
It really comes and goes like the wind.
Qi Wushuang asked Ye Wuwei: "Why did she say you were useless just now?"
Qi Wushuang, you really know how to "grasp the key points"!
I didn't hear anything else, but only listened to the most useless sentence.
Ye Wuwei said angrily: "It's all because of you."
Qi Wushuang thought silently for a moment, "She wouldn't say that to you just because you're the one below, right?"
Ye Wuwei said nothing.
Qi Wushuang was secretly delighted: "How did she figure that out?"
Ye Wuwei angrily asked, "Are you done yet?"
Qi Wushuang immediately pretended to be aggrieved: "But in bed, I am the one who puts in more effort."
Ye Wuwei was so angry that he slapped Qi Wushuang on the chest, "Don't be so ungrateful!"
Qi Wushuang held Ye Wuwei's hand, his face drooling: "It's still early, let's go to sleep for a while."
Ye Wuwei shook off Qi Wushuang's hand and pointed at the information on the table, saying, "Take a look."
Qi Wushuang didn't understand, but he obediently picked up the information and started reading.
After reading it, Qi Wushuang was also surprised: "Did Senior Ye give it to you?"
“She said that it was given to her by General Ye, and that she had originally intended to use it to dissuade Ye Yangzong from seeking revenge.
I asked her many times before about the Ye family's crimes, but she refused to tell us. Now she has given us this information. I guess she knows about Pei Qing's testimony against you."
"It turns out that my father knew the cause of my mother's death, but he never told me."
"Your father didn't tell you because the Ye family was so powerful back then and he was worried that you would cause trouble for them if he told you.
As for what happened later, he had already wiped out the Ye family, so he never spoke of the past with you again."
"I always thought that he was responsible for my mother's death, but I didn't expect it was related to Queen Ye.
Now that I think about it, this makes sense.
Back then, he was just an unfavored prince. If it weren't for Empress Ye helping him in the harem, he wouldn't be able to reach so far.
Not to mention killing several of my brothers and attempting to kill me multiple times."
Ye Wuwei held Qi Wushuang's hand:
"You always thought that your mother's death was related to the former emperor. Now that you know it's also related to the Ye family, do you hate the Ye family?"
Qi Wushuang held Ye Wuwei's hand:
“Even if it’s related to the Ye family, it has nothing to do with you.
Besides, the Ye family has been exterminated, so why bother with so much?"
"I promised Senior Ye that I would do my best to protect the reputation of the Ye family."
“If you don’t tell me, I won’t pursue the Ye family anymore. No matter what, General Ye is your father.
What's more, this information was given to you by Senior Ye.
With this information, we can easily dispel Pei Qing's accusations."
“Well, then I will first organize these evidences and try to downplay the content that is unfavorable to the Ye family.
With the evidence I've compiled, plus a few more pieces of 'evidence', Pei Qing's accusation against you will be a pure false accusation."
"There's no rush. Let's eat first."
Qi Wushuang ordered Xiao Dengzi: "Serve the food."
After reading this information, Qi Wushuang no longer had the heart to drag Ye Wuwei to "do evil things".
While waiting for dinner, Qi Wushuang said to Ye Wuwei: "She is really good to you."
If it weren't for Ye Wuwei and Ye Hongxia, there would be no way they would have given him this information and evidence.
Ye Wuwei did not deny it.
If Ye Hongxia didn't know that Ye Wuwei had to be Qi Wushuang, she would never have given Ye Wuwei these evidences that were unfavorable to the Ye family.
After the two finished their meal, Ye Wuwei began to "organize" the evidence brought by Ye Hongxia.
Evidence 1: General Ye’s narrative letter
Ye Wuwei copied the handwriting of General Ye and wrote the letter as Ye Taiwei accidentally discovered that the death of a prince was related to Queen Ye, so he went to question Queen Ye.
Empress Ye confessed to Marshal Ye that the prince was indeed killed by her and the former emperor.
Not only this prince, but another prince was also killed by her and the former emperor.
The reason why she conspired with the former emperor was because she herself had no son, and the legitimate son born to the former emperor was of the Ye family bloodline, so she wanted the Ye family bloodline to ascend to the throne.
The reason why the former emperor was willing to conspire with her was because she had evidence that the former emperor had killed another prince.
General Ye asked Queen Ye to stop, but Queen Ye said it was too late because the Ye family was also involved.
Marshal Ye concealed the matter out of consideration for the relationship between brother and sister and father and daughter, but he secretly launched an investigation into the former emperor and Empress Ye.
Ye Taiwei discovered that the former emperor was actually colluding with the Northland and signed a secret agreement with the King of the Northland:
The King of Beidi gave the "Half Moon Lotus" to the former emperor. After the former emperor ascended the throne, he gave the south of the desert to Beidi and paid a certain amount of silver and grain as tribute to Beidi every year.
See evidence 2 for the content.
After Marshal Ye discovered that the former emperor had colluded with the North, he went to question Queen Ye. Queen Ye told him that the "Half Moon Lotus" had been used on Concubine Yu.
Marshal Ye let Emperor Jingzheng know through other people that Concubine Yu was poisoned.
Emperor Jingzheng found out that Concubine Yu's poisoning was related to Queen Ye, and Queen Ye took the blame for poisoning Concubine Yu.
The confession letter and other documents are shown in Exhibit 3.
Emperor Jingzheng, mindful that the Ye family had nothing to do with Concubine Yu's poisoning, only ordered the death of Queen Ye.
However, Emperor Jingzheng became suspicious about the deaths of the three princes and began to investigate the causes of their deaths.
Emperor Jingzheng found out that the deaths of the three princes were related to the former emperor. One of the princes was killed by the former emperor alone, and the other two princes were killed by the former emperor, Empress Ye, and the Ye family.
See Evidence 4 and Evidence 5.
Marshal Ye had known the truth for a long time, but chose to conceal it in order to protect the Ye family.
At this point, Emperor Jingzheng could no longer tolerate the Ye family.
Emperor Jingzheng also hated the former emperor, but considering the fate of the Qi Dynasty, he had to spare the former emperor's life temporarily.
Emperor Jingzheng had already lost three sons, and the eldest of the remaining three sons, Prince Subei, was too incompetent. If he ascended the throne, he would only destroy the Qi Dynasty.
The youngest son, Prince Qi, is too young. If he is made emperor, he may be controlled by the various aristocratic families.
So the former emperor could only be spared temporarily.
Emperor Jingzheng concealed the truth and exterminated the Ye clan for treason.
The first piece of evidence was written by General Ye before his death.
The purpose of General Ye writing this letter was to tell the world that the extermination of the Ye family was not unjust, but the truth was not that the entire Ye family wanted to rebel, but that they were implicated by Queen Ye and the Ye family.
Evidence 2 to Evidence 5 were collected by General Ye in those days in order to explain the truth to the world.
After "organizing" the five pieces of evidence, Ye Wuwei showed them to Qi Wushuang: "What do you think?"
