Jiang Lang has not been idle these days and wants to help them. One of the ways is to find out Liu Chenglong, wash away the crimes on Chen Hai, and then plead with the emperor. If the emperor agrees, things will be simple.

The so-called emperor pays off. Finally, the whereabouts of Liu Chenglong were found on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the war, this person pushed the blame for the defeat to Chen Hai, but he ended up with a tenacious resistance and eventually lost. He abandoned the city and withdrew his troops. Although he was guilty, it was not a big deal. This matter was when the two emperors handed over. Just like Wei Jinzhong and Dong Xiansheng, they escaped punishment, mixed in the court and ate and drank, and lived a free and happy life.

After finding this Liu Chenglong, the evidence was naturally collected. It is true that many people knew about this person who escaped. When he heard that Dongchang was going to ask about things, he was so scared that he told everything. After all, for ordinary people, there were few people who could get it out after entering Dongchang.

After collecting the evidence, Jiang Lang didn't plan to be polite, but this time he did not arrest people directly. After all, he had to obtain permission from the emperor. So on the afternoon before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Lang called Yu Qian and went straight to the palace and found Emperor Jingtai in the imperial study.

Emperor Jingtai was somewhat surprised by the arrival of the two. He put down the book in his hand and asked the two kneeling on the ground to get up before asking: "My dear friends, don't know what to do with me?"

Due to Jiang Lang's plan, Jingtai Emperor's attitude towards Jiang Lang has improved significantly.

When Emperor Jingtai asked, Jiang Lang didn't say much nonsense, but went straight to the point and said, "Your Majesty, I want to talk to the emperor about the battle in Huailai City."

"The Battle of Huailai City?"

Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but wonder, and thought for a moment, saying, "Didn't this Huailai City fall into poverty when facing the attack of Wasai? There are nearly 100,000 soldiers who died. These are all facts, what else can I talk about?"

"have!"

Jiang Lang nodded affirmatively and said, "Today I want to tell the emperor who is responsible for the loss of Huailai City. Is it true that someone reported to the court that the defeat of Huailai City was inappropriate in the city guard Chen Hai and the commander of Lord Chen."

Emperor Jingtai was obviously stunned for a moment, then stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and said, "I am indeed a little unclear who was defeated by Huailai City. After all, the Supreme Emperor was in power at that time, but I think the Ministry of War should have a file to record this matter."

After saying that, he shouted outside the door: "Come here!"

A little eunuch who was serving at the door hurriedly walked in and said, "What are the instructions of the emperor?"

Emperor Jingtai said: "Go to the Ministry of War immediately and find me the files about the Battle of Huailai City! I just said I want to review it."

"yes!"

The eunuch agreed immediately and then planned to quit, while Yu Qian said, "Slow down!"

Emperor Jingtai, who was about to sit back on the chair, stopped his movements when he heard this, looked at Yu Qian and said strangely: "Yu Aiqing, what do you have to say?"

Yu Qian took out a roll of files from his sleeve, stepped forward and put them in front of Emperor Jingtai, bent down and said, "Report to the Emperor, this is the detailed battle report received by the Ministry of War on the Battle of Huailai. Please check it out!"

Emperor Jingtai then remembered that Yu Qian was the Minister of War. He couldn't help but pat his head gently and said to himself: "Look at how I am really forgetful. Yu Aiqing was the Minister of War before, so he naturally knew this."

After saying that, he took the file in Yu Qian's hand, sat back on the chair, spread out the file and looked carefully. As he looked at it, Emperor Jingtai's eyebrows couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Lang and Yu Qian did not dare to say anything, and stood beside him. Jiang Lang looked slightly at Emperor Jingtai's expression, and saw his brows frowning. This shows that it was the first time he had seen this file.

Emperor Jingtai, who was focused on the file, did not know that Jiang Lang was looking at him, but focused his attention on the file, and recorded the detailed process of the battle in Huailai City in detail on the file. However, most of them were oral statements by the escaped soldiers and generals, including Liu Chenglong, and these blamed the failure of Huailai City on the disadvantage of the command of the city guard Chen Hai.

After reading it, Emperor Jingtai put down the file, then looked at the two of them and said, "According to the above document, the main reason for the failure of the battle in Huailai City is Chen Hai's improper command, and Chen Hai knew that he was seriously guilty and finally committed suicide for fear of the crime!"

Jiang Lang had known in his heart that Emperor Jingtai would say this. After all, the file was written like that, so Shan took out a roll of paper from his arms and said, "Emperor, this is the relevant information about the Battle of Huailai City by Jinyiwei and the East Factory. Please check it out!"

After saying that, he respectfully handed the paper roll to Emperor Jingtai, and then retreated to Yu Qian and quietly waited for Emperor Jingtai's reply.

"Is there anything different about this?"

Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but wonder, opened the paper on Jianglang's ground, looked carefully, and after a while, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He raised his head and said strangely, "Why is this completely different from the one written on the file of the Ministry of War?"

Jiang Lang expected this result and said immediately: "Prince, please finish reading it. It's not too late to answer the emperor's questions at that time."

Emperor Jingtai nodded. Now he was very strange in his heart, so he looked carefully. After a while, he had finished reading it. However, he did not immediately ask Jiang Lang why. Instead, he picked up the file submitted by Yu Qian and read it again. Then he raised his head and asked seriously: "What's going on? Is that statement true? Is this defeat in the battle of Huailai City a bad command, or is it that Liu Chenglong was unwilling to mobilize troops privately, and then opened the city gate to escape, causing the entire Huailai City to be in chaos?"

Jiang Lang was waiting for Emperor Jingtai’s question, and immediately said: “It’s up to the emperor to believe in this Jinyiwei. Dongchang is still Liu Chenglong, but I think the information of this Jinyiwei and Dongchang is relatively reliable. Huailai has always been our heavy army against Wasai. Jinyiwei and Dongchang have arranged a lot of people there. I think these spies have not yet been so bold that everyone has come to deceive the court.”

Emperor Jingtai pondered slightly before saying, "What do you mean is that the file from the Ministry of War is fake."

Without waiting for Jiang Lang to answer, he turned his head to look at Yu Qian and asked, "Yu Aiqing, if the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang Intelligence are true, then what your Ministry of War says is false, that is the dereliction of duty of the Ministry of War. What do you understand about this?"

Yu Qian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is not true or false. The Wei minister has to admit that the Ministry of War is indeed not as good as the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang in the collection of information. Moreover, due to the invasion of the Watts, there was a huge chaos in the country. The Ministry of War did not conduct a detailed investigation on this matter. Chen Hai is dead, so no one is pursuing it, so there is something wrong with this, and it is possible."

"Then what you mean is that you are not sure whether the files in the Ministry of War are true or false?"

Emperor Jingtai frowned and knocked on the file with his hand, saying, "Since there was no investigation at that time? Why are you two coming to me together now? What you mean is that you want to re-invest the case, right?"

"The emperor is wise!"

Jiang Lang and Yu Qian bent down at the same time and said.

Emperor Jingtai waved his hand and said, "Don't say so many beautiful words, say it, honestly explain to me, why do you suddenly ask me to mention this matter? Don't say it was the whim of you two!"

Jiang Lang glanced at Yu Qian, then gritted his teeth, walked up, and said, "Your Majesty, a few days before Wasan attacked Huailai City, Weichen led his troops through Huailai and met Lord Chen. Later, he learned that the Wasan general was attacking Huailai, so he sent someone to Huailai to inform Lord Chen to prepare, but it was still one step too late. When the people sent by Weichen arrived in Huailai, Wasan had already begun to attack Huailai. Later, Liu Chenglong and his personal soldiers abandoned the city and fled, so my subordinates had the opportunity to enter Huailai City. However, the overall situation was settled at that time and there was no room for recovery. He originally planned to let Lord Chen abandon the city and evacuate, but Lord Chen would rather die, so he retreated and took the second best to protect them to the capital with Lord Chen's family!"

A look of surprise appeared on Emperor Jingtai's face and said, "Chen Hai's family is in the capital?"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "I came to the emperor with Lord Yu this time, but it was actually for them. Because Lord Chen was brought to the crime of unfavorable command, he became a serious offender of the court. His family was also affected. His son was a talented person and knowledgeable person. He was also disqualified from the imperial examination because of this. He asked the emperor to give his son the imperial examination to the loyalty of General Chen Hai to serve the country. Regardless of whether Lord Chen Hai was wronged, his son also learned from his father's loyalty to serve the country. The emperor also gave him a chance. If he was really a talent, then the emperor would have a good assistant. If he was just a false example, he could also demonstrate the emperor's benevolence and righteousness!"

After Jiang Lang said this, Emperor Jingtai was quite moved. After thinking about it, he said, "Let's do this, I will discuss this matter tomorrow morning. If you propose it, you will also listen to the other ministers' opinions!"
