Chapter 16 — I heard that I had a loving husband and wife, and had many children and grandchildren. He crushed the white jade bowl in his hand.

Tieu Duc gave the joint letter to the minister next to him and passed it down.

"The generals of the six towns said that Han Sung Nhan's military record that year was suppressed by someone else, and more than half of his military achievements were not recorded in the military record."

"Over the years, they secretly collected evidence, and finally collected the entire volume."

Documents from the top row gradually spread to the bottom row. Each time a person passes... that person's face changes a little more. Finally, that letter was transmitted to Lord Phuong of the Ministry of Infantry. Master Phuong's face immediately turned pale. Because the place where the Han family's military achievements were forced down that year... was the Infantry of twenty years ago. And the chief officer of the Infantry that year was Lord Phuong's father, and also the Co family's in-laws. That year, they suppressed General Han Sung Nhan's military achievements because they did not want the Han family's position in the court to be too high and threaten the power of the Co family. The elders present here all understand this in their hearts, it's just that no one has ever mentioned it. Now, the generals of the six towns of Bac Cuong have joined forces to expose this matter. All the civil and military officials looked at that thick pile of military records, but no one could say a word. Tieu Duc's voice was extremely low.

“I will investigate this matter to the end.”

“If General Han Sung Nhan's meritorious service is true, then it is natural for him to be awarded posthumously.”

His eyes glanced over Lord Phuong's face. Lord Phuong's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Tieu Duc's eyes then turned to Han Chinh. Han Chinh stood in the row of martial artists, his back straight. There was no smug look on his face. Doesn't seem angry either. He just stood there quietly, like a tree growing in the wild. Everyone in the main hall was looking at him. The "rude martial artist" was laughed at all those years... His father's military achievements were oppressed for twenty years. He himself was cut off from benefits, oppressed, and despised by people. Now the former loyal minister of the six towns has replaced his father to demand justice. He did nothing. But everyone understands clearly. This person... along with the Han family behind him... not everyone can touch him. The ladies' table was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Mrs. Luu curled up in her chair, not daring to say a word. The ladies who had been so talkative at the last wedding glanced at each other, their faces darker than the bottom of the pot. Co Van Thu sat in the highest position, the smile on her face remained unchanged. However, the fingertips placed on his knees trembled slightly. Lord Phuong is a member of the Co family. Once the story of Lord Phuong's father forcing down the Han family's military achievements is confirmed, the Co family will also be implicated. She didn't expect that the Han family would secretly leave behind a rearguard for twenty years. Even more unexpected was the opportunity to overturn this old debt... to be chosen right on the emperor's death anniversary, right in front of the entire court. After the ceremony ended, the crowd gradually dispersed. Han Chinh stepped in front of me.

“Let's go, go home.”

“Did you know about the matter presented by Luc Town before?”

“Uncle Manh sent a letter to remind you before.”

“Then why didn't you tell me?”

He thought for a moment.

“It's not worth it speak."

“My father's military merit is real.”

"If you're being pressed down, just keep pressing down. Sooner or later someone will turn it over."

I look at him.

“Han Chinh.”

“Are you a lot smarter than you appear?”

He scratched his head again.

“Not smart.”

“It's because my father once taught me something.”

“Being human doesn't need to be hasty.”

“What belongs to you… can't escape even if you run.”

What happened on the altar was like a stone being thrown into a lake. Each ripple spreads out. Lord Phuong was suspended from his position under investigation. The Infantry was overturned from top to bottom. The old case that year forced the Han family's military to investigate deeper and deeper, and more and more people were implicated. Has become the center of the storm. The in-law relationship between the Phuong family and the Co family was pulled out and placed right on the table. In the court, doubts began to appear: That year, the matter of forcing down the Han family's merits... was it the intention of the Ministry of Defense, or was it dictated by the Co family standing behind?
