Chapter Seventy-Nine: Touching the Spirit Emperor
Suppressing the hatred for Liu Yu in his heart, Long Jun turned his head to Liu Hong and saluted, "Your Majesty, please allow the villain to finish speaking, and then you can do whatever you want with the villain!" ”
Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong, who had received a heavy gift, didn't dare to say a word at the moment, anyway, what he promised Long Jun was done, he had spoken well in front of Emperor Ling before, but now this kid is looking for death by himself, they don't dare to care!
Emperor Han Ling saw that everyone didn't speak, and even Zhang Rang and the others, who had protected Long Jun at the beginning, didn't squeak, and a sense of dominating life and death suddenly rose in his heart, in the past, they were all so quarrelsome in front of themselves, forcing themselves to make decisions, but now no one interfered with their decisions, all because of the young man in the audience!
And between Long Jun's words, it seemed to be mixed with something about Liu Yu, Liu Hong coughed lightly and said, "It's lonely!" ”
What the? When did Your Majesty speak so well? The ministers glanced at each other, and felt that the sun seemed to come out of the west, and even Zhang Rang and the others were a little surprised in their hearts, it stands to reason that Liu Hong was in the process of being deceived at this time, he should be furious, and then killed Long Jun, but now he is willing to give Long Jun a chance to explain what happened, which really makes them scratch their heads!
Seeing that Liu Hong approved his request, Long Jun had nothing strange in his heart, and he didn't even feel surprised, but with a grateful look on his face, he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Then, Long Jun looked at Liu Yu and said hatefully, "Eight years ago, my father was assassinated in Pengcheng, and after a few days, he was beheaded in the city in the name of the rebellion of the remnants of Western Chu!" However, the person who reported my father's identity at that time was that Zhang Xu, am I right? ”
"That's right!"
"Who is Zhang Xu? A small Haoqiang in Pengcheng, but how did such a small Haoqiang know my father's identity? Can Liu Zongzheng know? ”
Liu Yu's face changed slightly at this time, and he said coldly, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Hehe smiled, Long Jun looked at the other party with a sneering face, and sneered, "My grandfather is the former Guangling long history, and has intersected with many people, at that time among my grandfather's friends, there was a man named Liu Bo'an, the two were the best friends, and then one day my grandfather inadvertently revealed an ancient scroll, this ancient scroll was written by the grandson class of the Warring States Period, Liu Bo'an saw that he was greedy in his heart, and wanted to take it for himself, and he bid many times, but was rejected by his grandfather!" So he had the heart to kill for money, perhaps by chance, but before he could frame him, my grandfather died. ”
At this time, Liu Yu's face had begun to break out in a cold sweat, and the rest of the courtiers looked at Liu Yu one after another, with a different color, Liu Bo'an? Liu Bo'an? Isn't this just talking about Liu Yu again?
Seeing this, Long Jun did not stop, and continued to say coldly, "Because my grandfather was low-key during his lifetime, for fear that his surname would cause trouble, he left a house in several counties in Xuzhou, and for a while, this Liu Boan could not find his grandfather's descendants. But I never expected that after my father took over the Long family, he went into business, and when he was talking about business in Pengcheng, he was discovered by Liu Bo'an, who was staying at Zhang Xu's house! And then the rest is, Liu Zongzheng doesn't need me to say more, right? ”
After listening to Long Jun's story, Liu Yu's face was no longer bloodless, and everyone was also whispering to Liu Yu, and they all despised him as a person.
But Long Jun smiled bitterly and continued: "However, the crooked fight is right, Liu Bo'an did not guess wrong, our Long family is indeed a remnant of Western Chu!" ”
Liu Yu, who was already desperate, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw at this moment, and laughed and said, "Do you admit that you are a remnant of Xichu?" ”
Glancing at Liu Yu, Long Jun snorted coldly, ignored him, turned around and said to Liu Hong with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, the villain admits that he is the remnant of the Western Chu clan!" As the bloodline of the Long Clan, this cannot be changed, but please also ask Your Majesty to discern that although my Long Clan is a remnant of Western Chu, I have never had the intention of rebelling! Since the beginning of beating my grandfather, my Long clan has wanted to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, and the villain raised troops from Guangling to fight in Qingzhou and Jizhou because of his grandfather's legacy! Today, I believe that there will definitely not be only the two adults of Zongzheng Shaofu who have the heart of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots of my Long Clan! But please think carefully about it, if the Long Clan really has a grudge and rebellion, why don't you participate in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and corrode the foundation of the Great Han? ”
Knowing that he and Long Jun have no chance of reconciliation after today, maybe Long Jun can't even see the sun tomorrow, he snorted coldly, Liu Yu said disdainfully, "Hmph, Long Jun, don't defend yourself, according to your intelligence, can't you see through the Yellow Turban bandits are the cause of scabies?" ”
"Liu Zongzheng, I originally thought you had a bit of a brain, but now I find out that you are not only shameless, but even brainless!"
"Huangkou Xiaoer, dare to insult me?"
Bowing to Liu Hong, Long Jun continued, "Then according to what you said, I have seen the Yellow Turban Rebellion thoroughly!" Wouldn't it be better for me not to participate in the hatred of the big man, and watch the Yellow Turban bandits mess and destroy the foundation of the big Han? ”
Not to mention that as soon as Long Jun's words came out, everyone present, including Spirit Emperor Tang Li, nodded secretly, thinking that Long Jun's words were reasonable!
Seeing that everyone was led astray by Long Jun's words, Liu Yu was a little anxious, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, colleagues, don't listen to this kid's sophistry!" He's tampering with ideas! ”
Seeing that Long Jun was out of danger, Zhang Rang hurriedly came out and said to Emperor Ling, "Your Majesty, Long Jun's words are reasonable!" ”
Nodding his head to show that he was clear, but thinking of Liu Yu talking about the ancestors' testament, Liu Hong frowned, he liked Long Jun very much, not only his military exploits, but also his eloquence was deeply appreciated by himself, but in the face of the ancestors' testament, he was really in a dilemma!
However, thinking of this kid's wisdom, Liu Hong decided to give him a chance to see if he could save himself, so he condensed and said, "Long Jun, you are the remnant of the Western Chu clan, you yourself also admit that the ancestors have to follow the teachings, but remember that Emperor Xianwu once gave Ji Anshi a chance, and you have fought for the imperial court in many ways, and your achievements are quite great, and at this moment the widow also gives you a chance to defend yourself!" ”
Whether it is to expose Liu Yu or to explain lyrically, Long Jun is for this opportunity to defend himself, as long as he is given this opportunity, even if Liu Yu, Tang Yu and others hold their other information, they are not afraid!
With a long sigh of relief in his heart, Long Jun hurriedly saluted and thanked Liu Hong, and then said with a happy face, "Villain, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Tang Li on the side had already given up dealing with Long Jun when he saw Liu Hong giving Long Jun a chance to speak, and he had been immersed in officialdom for so long, how could he not understand this truth?
But Liu Yu hurriedly said out loud, "Your Majesty, since Long Jun has already admitted that he is the remnant of Western Chu, he should be beheaded to show the public!" That's okay..."
Before Liu Yu's words were finished, Liu Hong interrupted impatiently, "I have made up my mind, I have to wait for Hugh to be verbose!" ”
Seeing this, Zhao Zhong hurriedly stood up and sneered at Liu Yu, "Your Majesty has said that the Martial Emperor of Shengming has given Ji Anshi a chance, so what if Your Majesty gives Long Jun a chance?" Do you think Your Majesty is..."
Zhao Zhong didn't say the word faint, but how could Liu Yu not understand, Liu Hong glanced at Liu Yu even more dissatisfied, and Liu Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly shut up!
Seeing that his allies have created opportunities for himself, how can Long Jun let it go? hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, although the minister is young, he also understands the truth that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, seeing the Yellow Turban bandits and troubles my big man, how can the villain turn a blind eye?" Today, His Majesty Shengming is arbitrary, the two emperors of the ancestors of the Derby Gao, and the martial arts of Wenzhi are comparable to the light and martial arts, but this group of traitors and bandits do not think about His Majesty's grace and are bewitched by others, and the villain only mentions the three-foot Qingfeng to completely wake up this group of people and share worries for His Majesty! ”
Seeing that Long Jun compared himself with Gaozu Liangwu, Liu Hong looked overjoyed, touched his beard, and looked at Long Jun with a smile, as if encouraging Long Jun to continue!
The rest of the ministers frowned slightly, thinking to themselves how could this kid be so shameless, he was actually the same as the Ten Standing Servants, and he was a sycophant! He Jin and Yuan Kui glanced at each other and smiled bitterly!
But Long Jun's heart is extremely disgusting, the two lives have never been so patriotic, if it weren't for the sake of survival, he would never say these words against his will, recited a few words of Amitabha Buddha, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, and continued, "Your Majesty asked me to defend myself, to be honest, the villain really doesn't know how to justify, or what to justify, my grandfather governed the people's livelihood in Guangling for the Han Dynasty, my father was in business to promote the economy of Xuzhou, and I exterminated the bandits for the Han Dynasty!" My Long clan has been serving the Han since my grandfather, and we have a clear conscience! ”
Emperor Ling nodded slightly, with a hint of emotion in his heart, but his expression was inconvenient, and he said solemnly, "You and other families have been serving my Han for three generations, and the widow is very pleased!" ”
However, Long Jun didn't seem to intend to end the road of sycophancy, and said with a righteous face, "Your Majesty, what the villain said today is from the bottom of his heart. Although life and death are uncertain, the villain still wants to say, I hope Your Majesty can give the villain a chance to prove my loyalty to the Han and His Majesty Shengming. As long as Your Majesty believes in the villain, the villain is willing to open up territory for Your Majesty and defend the palace! ”
If it was all Long Jun's explanation before, then in the end, it was guaranteed that since he succeeded to the throne for so long, except for Zhang Rang and others who were loyal to him, how many of the rest of the scholars sitting below were willing to think about themselves? If you want to take a beauty yourself, you will be frequently blocked by them, and if you want to master the army, they will not hand over the power!
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and the eyes that looked at the court officials became colder and colder, and everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to provoke Liu Hong!
With a light snort, Liu Hong looked at Long Jun and said, "Since Emperor Xianwu can use the remnants of Western Chu, how can the widows be left behind?" Today, I declare that the crimes of the Long clan will not be investigated since the widow! ”
Liu Hong's will, Zhang asked Zhao Zhong, He Jin, Yuan Kui and others to smile, and the expressions of the originally unrelated courtiers did not change, only Liu Yu had a look of mourning.
The dust settled, but Long Jun wanted to cry, this group of people tried to design again and again, mother and others lived with their tails between their legs, which is the life that normal people should live?
At this moment, Long Jun clenched his fists and shouted loudly, "Long Jun represents my Long clan, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”
