GBP Chapter 264 Trial of Gao Yi
Chapter 264 Trial of Gao Yi
Prime Minister's House.
Gao Yi's family was confined to the mansion.
Two Yulin soldiers pushed open the tightly closed door and said to Gao Yi, who was sitting in front of the desk, "Prime Minister Gao, the emperor wants to see you. Please come with us."
Gao Yi raised his head with a pale face, his hands trembling slightly, he slowly stood up, and walked to the door with trembling steps.
Seeing how ill he was, the Yulin Army did not make things difficult for him but ordered people to prepare a sedan chair.
The sedan stopped at the palace gate.
Gao Yi walked into the palace gate on foot, heading towards the imperial study step by step. His steps were slow and heavy, and his face became paler and paler. The Yulin Army followed him patiently.
When he arrived at the door of the imperial study, Gao Yi felt that his legs were not his own. He looked at the closed door of the imperial study with some timidity and did not dare to go in.
"Prime Minister Gao, please!" The Yulin Army made a gesture of invitation.
Gao Yi sighed lightly, but finally walked in.
In addition to Emperor Yuanwu, there were also Xiao Jingxuan and Prince Hong in the imperial study.
Prince Hong's martial arts were abolished and he looked like a disabled person. He was escorted by two Yulin soldiers and knelt in humiliation before Emperor Yuanwu.
"Prime Minister Gao is finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come in and close the door." Emperor Yuanwu said lightly.
As soon as Gao Yi walked in, the palace servant closed the door.
Gao Yi came over, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, your old minister Gao Yi pays respect to you."
Emperor Yuanwu did not ask him to stand up, but just said: "Raise your head and take a good look. Do you recognize this person?"
Gao Yi raised his eyes and looked at King Hong.
Prince Hong glared at Emperor Yuanwu angrily, without even looking at Gao Yi.
Gao Yi shook his head: "I don't know him!"
Emperor Yuanwu sneered and clapped his hands. The door opened and two Yulin soldiers escorted Shao Huan, who had also lost his martial arts skills, in. "Do you know him?"
Gao Yi still shook his head: "I don't know him."
Emperor Yuanwu said angrily: "You don't know them, but I do. One of them is the Prince Hong of Beiyi State, and the other is the General of the Cavalry of Beiyi State. Gao Yi, how long do you want to play dumb with me?"
The moment he finished speaking, he kicked Gao Yi in the heart.
Emperor Yuanwu took out another object, a milky white jade bracelet: "I found this in your study. Tell me, why did my sister's things end up in your hands?"
He picked up two old letters from the desk and threw them in Gao Yi's face: "Explain to me again, what is this?"
Seeing the jade bracelet on Emperor Yuanwu's hand and the letter on the ground, Gao Yi's face turned even paler.
"emperor......"
Emperor Yuanwu punched him in the face and said, "Have I and Prince Nangong ever done anything wrong to you that you have to treat us like this!"
Gao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. He got up tremblingly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said weakly: "You have not done me any wrong. It is my ambition that has caused me to want too much."
Emperor Yuanwu gritted his teeth and said, "You are not only my subject, but also my brother. The relationship between the three of us is closer than that between real brothers. Nangong Yan and I have saved your life countless times, but I didn't expect that what we got in return was your selfishness, ruthlessness and persecution!"
After the three of them became sworn brothers, they traveled around the world together, put down the Rebellion of the Eight Kingdoms, and experienced countless life and death situations. Every time, they were able to sincerely trust each other. They looked out for each other and trusted each other. They fought and made trouble, but they never killed each other.
However, Gao Yi broke the promise he had made and started killing his brothers, using the same methods he used to deal with his enemies on his brothers.
Emperor Yuanwu was angry, disappointed and heartbroken.
"Gao Yi, today I will judge you!"
He waved his hand, and the door of the imperial study was opened again. Twenty or so of the most prestigious civil and military ministers in the court walked in from outside. When these ministers saw the scene in the imperial study, some were curious, some were gloating, and some were uneasy.
"I called you here today to tell you the truth. The one who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country is not only the head of the Qiao family, but also the Prime Minister Gao in front of you."
Except for the Duke of Protectorate, all other ministers were shocked. They looked at Gao Yi in disbelief.
Emperor Yuanwu did not waste any words. He took out Gao Yi's letter of treason and introduced Prince Hong and Shao Huan.
Some of those letters were written by Gao Yi, some were written by King Hong to Gao Yi, and some were written by Shao Huan.
Every word revealed the truth that Gao Yi killed Nangong Yan and Princess Zhaoyang.
"Is this true? During the battle at Yulong Mountain, was it Prime Minister Gao who leaked the whereabouts of the old Pingshan King and his wife?"
"It was Gao Yi who colluded with Bei Yi to kill the war god and princess of my Yuan Dynasty!?"
Many ministers were so angry that they trembled all over and wished they could skin Gao Yi alive.
Emperor Yuanwu raised his hand and asked someone to bring in Yan Dazhu and the head of the Qiao family.
"Yan Dazhu, I heard that you are a survivor of the battle at Yulong Mountain. Tell me and the ministers present here, what did you see on the battlefield at Yulong Mountain?"
It was Yan Dazhu's first time to enter the palace and meet the emperor. He was extremely nervous and it took him a long time to find his voice.
"Fuck, I was seriously injured and unconscious, and was pressed by two corpses. When I woke up, I saw with my own eyes that the old King of Pingshan was stabbed in the heart by Shao Huan. Shao Huan laughed triumphantly and said that it was Prime Minister Gao who betrayed the Yuan Dynasty..."
The battle at Yulong Mountain was the nightmare of his life. There were corpses everywhere, some with severed heads, some with severed arms and legs, and some even chopped off in the waist... Countless soldiers died with their eyes wide open.
He was pinned under the corpses, shaking with pain. Surrounded by soldiers from the North Wing, he dared not make a sound.
Suddenly, he heard a loud, sarcastic laugh.
"Nangong Yan, go to hell!"
"I, Shao Huan, am the God of War, the God of War of the North Wing."
"Do you know why you and your wife were defeated so thoroughly today? Do you know why your reinforcements didn't come? Because Gao Yi betrayed you!"
"Gao Yi knows you too well. He predicted your battle plan and asked me to make arrangements in advance. Hahaha, this is so funny!"
At that time, soldiers from the North Wing were all around him. Shao Huan was so proud of his victory that he said a lot of words to provoke Nangong Yan. He didn't notice that there was a half-dead person hiding under the corpse.
"Do you know what agreement we have reached with Gao Yi?"
"Gao Yi helps us get rid of you, and we will help him get the woman he wants. You know that woman, she is your wife, Princess Zhaoyang of your Yuan Dynasty, hahahaha!!"
Yan Dazhui didn't hear the rest of the words clearly because he fainted again due to excessive bleeding.
When he woke up again, it was already night. Reinforcements from the Yuan Dynasty arrived. They rescued all the living people and took away Nangong Yan's body.
The reinforcements went to look for Princess Zhaoyang, but could not find any trace of her.
Yan Dazhui blurted out all the secrets that had been buried in his heart for many years in one breath.
Emperor Yuanwu pointed at him angrily and asked, "Why didn't you tell me back then? Why?"
Yan Dazhu buried his head in the ground and said, "I said that after I woke up, I immediately told Deputy General Zhou the truth. Deputy General Zhou immediately went to find General Mo. Not long after, Deputy General Zhou died."
General Mo was the general who led the reinforcements back then. He was one of Nangong Yan's right-hand men and one of the best military generals in the Yuan Dynasty.
At this moment, General Mo was also in the imperial study, standing behind the Duke of Protectorate.
