Diao Kui's face changed, and he said sharply: "Liu Yu, what do you mean by this?" You are the head of the court, whether you do it or not, you have to go through the regulations of the court, how can you just leave when you say this? ”

Liu Yu didn't even look back, just stood where he was, and said coldly: "Is this order of Diao Assassin Shi a regulation of the imperial court?" ”

Diao Kui sneered, got up and picked up the scepter of the Son of Heaven, and slammed it on the ground: "This official is here, you can cut it first and then play, this law is the will of the official, and it is also the will of the Son of Heaven, do you dare to question it?" ”

Liu Yu looked up to the sky and laughed, and his voice shook the dust on the beams of the palace: "According to the Great Jin system, the scholars are recruited as officials, and the scholars can also be dismissed." ”

"Although I, Liu Yu, used to be a lizheng, I implemented the national law officially implemented by the imperial court, not the law that was forcibly implemented by the scepter of the Son of Heaven like Diao Shi! Since I can't fight against the Scepter of the Son of Heaven, I have to be alone and not do this! ”

Diao Hong shouted on the side: "Liu Yu, you are so bold, you dare to say that we are harming the people!" ”

Liu Yu turned his head, and the light in his eyes was like lightning, which made Diao Hong unconsciously take a half step back, and his voice was gentle and revealing a force: "In this difficult situation, Diao Thorn Shi does not think about sharing worries for the country, but he took advantage of the national disaster to expropriate and expropriate, forcing the people of Jingkou to destroy their homes and sell their fields, or sell themselves as slaves, and become servants and tenants of your Diao family, what is this not harming the people?" ”

Diao Kui's pupils contracted suddenly: "The country is in trouble, everyone naturally has to make a strong contribution, is there a problem?" ”

Liu Yu said loudly: "Then since the country is in trouble, why don't you make an example of the history of Diao Assassination first, and send the hundreds of servants and tenants of your Diao family into the army to resist Hu Lu?" Why don't you donate your own land? ”

Diao Hong laughed: "Liu Yu, have you forgotten, before we came to Xuzhou and came to Jingkou, we donated our land from all over the country to the country, so we ............"

Liu Yu didn't wait for him to finish: "Really? Since it is a donation, why did the imperial court give you this public land in Jingkou? Why do you have to plan in every possible way, so that the northern refugees who come to Jingkou can't survive, and they can only come to your Diao family as servants? ”

"You formulated this law so that the ordinary people in Jingkou can't survive, and your Diao family can take the opportunity to enclose land and occupy people, do you dare to say that this is for the good of the country?"

Diao Kui's eyes flashed coldly: "Liu Yu, I don't want to bother with you about these truths, you just need to know that now this official is holding the scepter of the Son of Heaven, and what he says from the mouth of this official is the will of the Son of Heaven, if you don't carry it out, it will be a rebellion!" Even if you are a little famous in the local area, this official can bring you to justice! ”

Liu Yu's gaze turned to Diao Kui: "Law? What law? It's Diao Thorn Shi holding this Heavenly Son Scepter, what do you say is what is the Fa? ”

The corners of Diao Kui's mouth hooked, and he protested: "Yes, what's the problem?" ”

Liu Yu sneered: "The law is nothing more than human feelings, if the law that everyone is unwilling to follow, it can be implemented with only the scepter in the hand of the assassin, or even the Son of Heaven himself?" If the law is decided, it will definitely be enforced, so why will the tyrannical Qin perish? ”

Diao Hong angrily pointed at Liu Yu: "Bold, Liu Yu, do you want to die?" Unexpectedly, you dare to compare my Dajin to a violent Qin, you, what are your intentions?! ”

Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Diao Thorn History, I think yesterday you should have seen how powerful the people of Jingkou are!" The state regards them as its people, and they should repay them with their fate, and the state abandons them like a mustard, and do not expect them to be obedient. ”

"Especially those northern refugees who you want to do everything possible to include your Diao family, they don't even accept the rule of the Qin State in the north, and they are here to be bullied by you when they move south?"

Diao Kui's eyebrows raised, and he said in a deep voice: "This official repeats, this official did not bully these northern refugees, all of this is just a temporary legal system in wartime, if Hu Lu is defeated, then this official will also play the imperial court and exempt the local tax for a few years, isn't this just coming back?" Liu Yu, don't always misunderstand the meaning. ”

Liu Yu laughed: "Everyone has become your servant of the Diao family, what misunderstanding do you have to talk about?" Could it be that you are so kind to Diao Shi, when the time comes, you will exempt these tenants of your family from slaves, return them to freedom, and give them the land of your Diao family to cultivate? ”

Diao Kui sneered: "After a difficult time, what is impossible. Liu Yu, this official will say again, these leviest of rice and grain and forced labor are not for my Diao Kui, but for the court and the country! ”

Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Really? Then may I ask Diao Thorn Shi, according to you, the taxes they can't afford to pay are paid by you, aren't they? ”

Diao Kui was slightly stunned at first, then nodded and said, "Yes, of course." But my Diao family has no surplus grain now, and this official said that our family's land has been donated to the imperial court, and now when I come to this Jingkou, there is no land, but there are no tenants to cultivate, so how can I make up the grain tax to pay the imperial court without this method? ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "In this case, can Diao Thorn Shi explain why these people, homeless people, when they are cultivating in their own fields, they can't come up with the grain tax of ten cents per person, but when they come to your Diao's land, they can pay the tax when they become servants and tenants?" Could it be that the land you occupy by the Diao family can grow grain and grass by yourself? ”

Diao Kui's head began to sweat and he couldn't speak. Liu Yu laughed: "Diao Thorn History, you are a set, everyone knows it, even if you ask the court for an order to increase taxes, you will not increase the taxes of the Diao family." These displaced people, after the people become servants in your Diao family, they will become missing people, and they will not be registered as yellow or white, and they can only be cattle and horses for your Diao family for generations. Isn't that what you want? ”

Diao Kui said sharply: "Enough, Liu Yu, the official is not interested in going around with you again, you just say a word, do you want to go and collect taxes on grain in the country?!" ”

Liu Yu turned his head, didn't look at Diao Kui, turned his back to him directly, and said loudly: "Forgive Liu for being difficult to obey, Diao Thorn History, the grass people send you a word, this is Jingkou, it is the source of soldiers valued by the imperial court, and the hometown of martial arts." If you mess around here and provoke a popular uprising, I am afraid that in the end, it will be you who will be the one who will be angry with the people. Even the Huan family can't control this, do you think you're even more powerful than Huan Wen? ”

As he spoke, he strode forward straight, Diao Kui stood in place, his face was cloudy, Liu Yi gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu!" He also ran out, leaving only Brother Diao Kui standing in the hall, silent.
