In Woyang, heavy rain has finally stopped for several days, but it is covered with dark clouds, which indicates that the next heavy rain will come at any time. The envoy of Chen State has arrived in Woyang. They are going to talk to the commander of the Zhou army and the commander of Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen. Another storm is coming soon.

Previously, Yuwen Wen, who recovered Woyang, found a letter at the place where Yuchi Youqi was staying in the city. This letter was ironclad evidence of the collusion between Yuchi Youqi and Chen's minister Kong Fan. Yuwen Wen wrote this letter to question why the king and minister of Chen had committed a alliance.

For the king and minister of Chen, there are only three possibilities:

First, Kong Fan did collude with Yuchi Youqi, but Kong Fan had no motive to do so. After all, when Yuchi Youqi's army was at the foot of Jiankang City, Kong Fan did not collude with the other party in private. Why did the situation in Chen State have obviously improved?

Therefore, after a discussion between the king and minister of Chen, he did not think that Kong Fan had any problems.

The second possibility is that this letter was a counter-espionage plan used by Yuchi Youqi, who deliberately let Yuwen Wen see it, prompting the Yuwen family and Chen State to break up, but this possibility is very low, because how did Yuchi Youqi know that he would definitely defeat the battle? Yuwen Wen entered Woyang and let the other party see the letter?

The third possibility is that Yu Wen Wen deliberately forged letters and wanted to blackmail Chen Guo.

Of course, if Yuchi Youqi really colluded with Kong Fan, it would make sense for Yuchi Youqi to lead troops to fight and leave the letters in Woyang City. But for the king and minister of Chen, they tend to have a third possibility, that is, Yuwen Wen was extremely arrogant and tried to fabricate letters to blackmail Chen.

But this kind of speculation cannot be said openly. Although the news had been released in advance and asked why King Xiyang forged letters, when the envoy of Chen came to Woyang, he changed his strategy.

When they met with Yuwen Wen, they asked to take a look at the so-called "secret letter".

After receiving the secret letter, the delegation members looked carefully. As Yuwen Wen said, it was a secret letter written by Yuchi Youqi to Kong Fan, who agreed to attack the Zhou army (Yuwen's army) from north to south.

However, the case is not proved, and it is impossible to assert that Kong Fanzhen and Yuchi Youqi had a letter exchange with each other through a letter. The envoy of Chen insisted that this was a counter-espionage plan set by Yuchi Youqi, and Yuwen Wen immediately came up with another evidence: some unburned pieces of paper.

These papers look like the remains of an unburned letter. From the remaining pieces of paper, you can see a few words, which can probably sort out some of the eyebrows: this letter was written by Kong Fan to Yuchi Youqi.

In the letter, Kong Fan proposed to attack Yuwen's family together. The remaining paper contained the words "Jiangzhou" and "Huai River as the boundary". It looked like Kong Fan wanted to agree with Yuchi Youqi that the Chen State would take Jiangzhou, and the Yuchi family would shake hands and make peace with the Huai River as the boundary.

Regarding this so-called evidence, the envoy of Chen immediately raised questions: How could Yuchi Youqi not burn it completely when he received this letter from Kong Fan?

Yuchi Youqi is the younger brother of Yuchi Dun, the treacherous prime minister of Zhou State. If this person really colluded with Kong Fan, he should have planned to attack Yuwen from north to south, rather than Yuchi Youqi's intention to defect to Jiangnan.

Yuchi Youqi Ruo really communicated with Kong Fan in private letters. Even if his actions were exposed, he would not be afraid that Yuchi Dun would know, because this was a secret move against Yuwen, and Yuchi Dun would definitely not object.

It was natural for Yuchi Youqi to burn the letter to prevent the matter from leaking, but why was he so panicked that he did not completely burn Kong Fan's letter, but left some fragments?

Even if the first time I burned it, how could the fragments be left behind?

Faced with the questioning of the envoy of Chen State, Yuwen Wen's answer was "Buddha's blessing, let the conspiracy be revealed to the world." Such unreasonable behavior instead of talking about the behavior of "Buddha's blessing", the envoy of Chen State was a little helpless, but they then showed strong evidence.

As a minister of the Chen State, Kong Fan wrote many memorials every year, and these memorials and other memorials of ministers were present in the palace. This time, the envoys brought memorials from Kong Fan from different periods, using this as evidence of Kong Fan's handwriting, and they should check the authenticity with Yuwen Wen.

Before they set out from Jiankang, they did not know that Yuwen Wen would have the so-called "fragments of Kong Fan's letters" in their hands, but they felt that since Kong Fan had not written the so-called secret letter, the forgery of the letters may not be able to imitate Kong Fan's handwriting, so they had to use this to argue.

The memorial that resulted came in handy.

These memorials have been carefully selected, and of course they will not be brought about those memorials involving military and national affairs. In these memorials of different periods, Kong Fan's handwriting is vividly displayed on paper and remains unchanged for more than ten years.

Yuwen Wen and the assistants carefully looked at the yellow and crisp memorials of these paper, and then corrected the fragments several times. Finally, they had to admit that the handwriting on the fragments was not Kong Fan's handwriting.

Of course, Kong Fan may also be asking someone to write a letter on his behalf, but it is confidential. Normally, Kong Fan cannot let others write on his behalf and let others know about this kind of thing.

Faced with the arguments of the envoy of Chen State, Yuwen Wen was silent for a moment and had to admit that he had been hit by Yuchi Youqi's counter-espionage plan, which led to misunderstandings against Chen State and caused some unnecessary losses.

Yuwen Wen expressed his regret for this.

The light words of King Xiyang of Zhou State, "very regretful", made the envoy of Chen State, who was struggling with reason, very dissatisfied. Kong Fan, who accompanied him to Woyang to prove his innocence, was particularly angry. He got angry in the hall and shouted at Yuwen Wen.

Kong Fan meant "the master was humiliated and died." Yuwen Wen slandered him for collusion with Yuchi. He had a clear conscience and did not care. However, Yuwen Wen wrote a letter to question the emperor of Chen. His words were extremely rude and his master was offended. Kong Fan, as a minister, would never give up.

He asked to go to Chang'an, prove his innocence in front of the Zhou emperor, denounce Yuwen's rude behavior, and give Chen a fairness.

The King of Xiyang must publicly apologize for offending Emperor Chen!

Kong Fan almost roared and said this request. The first reaction of the other Chen envoys present was to praise him "Good words", but then they were so scared that they were scattered: Do you ask Yuwen Wen to apologize? What if the emperor Zhou gets angry?

Chen State had some understanding of Yuwen Wen, knowing that this person was a member of the Zhou royal family and had the merit of saving the emperor. His uncle (biological father) Qi Wang Yuwen Liang was a pillar of the Chang'an court, and his cousin (elder brother) Yu Wenming also had great power. Is it possible to let such a person apologize?

Not to mention that Yuwen Wen's army was tens of thousands of troops at this time, sweeping over Huaibei in just a few months. Once he was stimulated by Kong Fan's request, he would lose his mind and use troops to Huainan. What should he do?

......

In the evening, at the Woyang City Inn, a banquet was underway. The Marshal of the Marshal of the Southeast Road of Zhou State and the King of Xiyang, Yuwen Wen of the Xiyang State held a banquet to entertain the Chen State's mission. The main civil and military officials of the headquarters were present. Together with Yuwen Wen, they continued to toast the Chen State's envoys for the previous misunderstanding to apologize.

Yuwen Wen ‘en admitted’ that he had fallen into a counter-espionage scheme before and had a misunderstanding of Chen State. Therefore, this banquet was both a courteous entertainment and an apology, but it is impossible to make a public apology.

Of course, the envoy of Chen State knew that Yuwen Wen had made a concession, and the other party could not write an apology letter to ask them to take it back to Jiankang and hand it over to the emperor. Therefore, it is already a great thing to make the other party admit his mistake in private today, and it is worthy of his mission.

During the meal, Yuwen Wen was unable to drink and sobered up first. Later, officials from both sides left the table and changed their clothes. Kong Fan was also one of them. He went to the toilet alone and walked in the corridor. A servant in front made a gesture to him.

Kong Fan nodded and saw that there was no one behind him, so he followed the other party to a place in the inn. There, Yuwen Wen, who was "unbearable to drink", had been waiting for a long time, and the "second toilet conversation" began.

Not long ago, Yuwen Wen and Wang Jun made trouble separately, with two goals, and now they have achieved both, so he smiled and looked at Kong Fan: "Good Kong Gong is fine? I am deeply relieved to see Kong Gong full of energy and strong body."

Not long ago, Kong Fan, who was righteous and roaring loudly, said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Kong is fine. Kong is just now, just now, please let King Haihuan do it."

"No, I was eager to see Mr. Kong, so I had no choice but to make up a story. I was so sorry for making Kong Gong in Jiankang..."

The two men who were in love with each other had limited time to talk, so they quickly turned to the topic. Yu Wen Wen was so troubled that of course because he had something to ask Kong Fan, so he went straight to the point:
Chapter completed!
