Chapter 158: Recruiting Du Xue

Listening to Zhao Huan's threat, Du Yan finally spoke:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince threatened me with the lives of my subordinates, not the work of my husband! Moreover, they have already surrendered to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now they are His Highness's people, why should His Highness kill them all? ”

Zhao Huan smiled lightly and said: "General Du may not know yet, after this Kou Daoist deceived you, he instigated his subordinate sergeants to want to surrender first and then rebel, and now there are people who are afraid of death who confess to me, as long as I am willing, I can interrogate at any time to find out a result, does General Du want to see it?" ”

"What?"

Du Yan glared at Kou Yan, his face showing a hint of anger, and Kou Yan lowered his head with a flushed face.

Zhao Huan said again: "Of course! This Daoist Kou is also a loyal heart, he is worried that General Kou will be humiliated when he returns to Wang Qing alone, so he took it upon himself to bring back some people and horses back to General Du, and his heart is all for General Du! ”

Du Yan was silent, and it took a long time before he spoke:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, good means! Du Mou brought 20,000 elites to support Xijing, but not only was all of them captured by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before they even came out of Yique Valley, but none of Du's 20,000 elites lost their lives, this calculation is probably something few people in the world can match! No wonder he was able to easily seize the throne and put his father under house arrest! ”

Zhao Huan was stunned.

He's really a straight man of steel.

Do all the heroes in the world see themselves like this?

Scold! It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhao Huan was about to open his mouth to explain, but Kou Yan next to him reminded, "My eldest brother is the most unaccustomed to unfilial people in his life, and he speaks a little straight, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Du Yan glared at Kou Yan again when he heard this, but Kou Yan just pretended not to see it and turned his head.

Zhao Huan stared at Du Yan a few times, but Du Yan didn't expect this.

It seems that you have to ask the system, only by knowing the ins and outs of the matter can you prescribe the right medicine and say that you can reduce Du Po.

Zhao Huan secretly asked the system about his doubts, and the system explained to Zhao Huan in detail the reason why Du Yan hated the unfilial son.

This Du Di is still a prodigal son who turned back!

What a rarity!

He pondered for a moment, then thought of his words.

"General Du! I would like to ask, what exactly is filial piety? ”

Du Yan snorted: "Filial piety is naturally to support your parents, and you will not be disobedient!" How difficult is it for parents to have children? If children are not grateful, how is it different from livestock? ”

Zhao Huan asked: "So General Du is determined that I am an unfilial son because I put my father under house arrest, so he resolutely refuses to surrender?" ”

"That's right!" Du Yan said coldly.

Zhao Huan asked again: "Is Wang Qing filial?" As far as I know, Wang Qing only shouted 'Dad' until his father died, and he was famous for his disobedience since he was a child! Last year, Wang Qing rebelled, and he didn't take his father into account at all, so that the court directly beheaded his father and his ex-father-in-law's family. Could it be that Wang Qing's kind of filial piety is in line with General Du's insistence? ”

"I ......" Du Yan was dumbfounded by Zhao Huan's words and couldn't refute it.

Zhao Huan glanced up and said deliberately: "It can be seen that General Du's reason for refusing to surrender is very far-fetched, and the filial piety that General Du adheres to is just a joke!" ”

"Nonsense!" Du Yan was furious, "When I took refuge in Wang Qing, I didn't know about him!" ”

"But didn't you find out later?" Zhao Huan asked rhetorically, "Why didn't General Du leave Wang Qing?" ”

Du Yan was silent for a moment again, and said in a deep voice: "Because there is nowhere to go!" ”

"General Du!" Zhao Huan said, "Filial piety or unfilial piety is not what others say or think, but how their parents live." Wang Qing is a person who can gather hundreds of good generals, and may have some ability, but he abandoned his father, and his father was often sad and angry because of persuading him when he was alive, and his father was looked down upon by the imperial court, and he did not hear that he went to Tokyo to take revenge, so it can be seen that there are no parents in his heart at all, and he must not be called a 'filial piety'! ”

"As for Prince Ben, I didn't want to say more, but since General Du can't let it go, I can only spit out my heart. I think that when my father was in power, the traitorous party was rampant in the court, the people were struggling to make a living, there were chaos inside, there were strong enemies outside, and even the inner palace of the Great Song Dynasty was secretly controlled by the Jin people. But if I really stay away from Tokyo and see the Great Song Dynasty fall into the hands of the enemy, is it considered filial piety? Even if I care about the official family and let the enemy slaughter it, will the official family be able to correct the situation without my son? ”

"Never!"

"On the other hand, General Du asked me to see that after I became a prisoner: the official family traveled in Genyue, poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there was no need to worry about the Jiangshan Sheji that he didn't like to work for, and I saw him comfortable and happy when I went to Genyue to visit him before the expedition; Moreover, the traitorous party in the DPRK and China has been swept away, and the people are peaceful and happy, why am I not filial? ”

"Besides, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, once colluded with foreign enemies to plot against me, I just demoted him to a commoner, and sent him to the official family to accompany him, his life was saved, and the official family was even happier, am I not as good as Tian Hu?"

Zhao Huan saw that Du Xue was already a little moved, and knew that there was still a fire left, so he continued: "Just like General Du, although you were not around when your parents died, you didn't do anything wrong at that time, but you were just ambitious and unconfined to the room, although you were unfilial, it was not unforgivable; If Ling Zun Lingtang is alive, he will definitely hope that General Du can make meritorious contributions, benefit the world, and glorify the lintel, instead of being foolish and loyal to people like Wang Qing. But now General Du is prejudiced, abandoning the bright and guarding the dark, completely ignoring the future of himself and his subordinate brothers, and not thinking about how their parents are looking forward at home, I am afraid that this is the great unfilial piety among the unfilial piety. ”

Du Xue's eyes were full of tears, and he looked around, speechless.

Kou Xuan glanced at Wei He, Yu Tai, and Zhuo Mao, and the four of them came to Du Xue, bowed their heads and clenched their fists:

"Big brother!"

Brothers for many years, just the word "big brother", Du Xue knows the four of them.

"Big brother!"

Du Xue's subordinates and soldiers also looked at him with fists in their eyes.

"General Du! How offended! ”

Shi Wengong and Gao Zhong stepped forward to hug their fists and apologize.

"General Du! How offended! My two brothers make amends to you! ”

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao got Liu Huiniang's eyes and knelt down on one knee to apologize to Du Xue.

"Two ......"

Du Xue hurriedly helped the two brothers up, glanced at the thousands of pairs of expectant eyes around him again, and sighed to the sky.

"It's me who didn't know what was going on and misunderstood His Highness!"

Du Xue said as he lifted his shirt and knelt down on one knee to Zhao Huan:

"The sin will be Du Xue, I am willing to serve His Royal Highness the Prince, and I will not regret it for the rest of my life!"
