Yang Jun looked up at Lu Zhongtian with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, Lu Zhongtian couldn't wait to die by himself. If you want him to judge sin, he must die. It's a pity that this old thing doesn't know the secret agreement between himself and the emperor, he wants to die by himself, and the emperor won't let himself die.

Yang Jun turned his head and looked at Guo Xu, who was sitting on the throne mountain. happened to meet Guo Xu's gaze. At that moment when his eyes were intertwined, Yang Jun seemed to see the banter and ridicule in Guo Xu's eyes, which made him suddenly startled in his heart, and beads of sweat appeared on his body inexplicably.

"Yang Jun, did you hear that? Lu Xiang said that you are guilty of great crimes, and you should be decided. What do you say? Guo Xu said softly.

Yang Jun thought to himself, don't you want me to play with you at this time? It's okay to play with you and show it to others.

"Your Majesty, the guilt of the criminal minister is all determined by the emperor, and the criminal minister has no complaints. Even if the emperor wants to kill the guilty minister, the criminal minister has no complaints. The offender only asks for a just disposition. Yang Jun deliberately bit the word justice a little harder.

Guo Xu nodded and said, "Okay, very good." Then I will give you justice. Yang Shumi, before sending troops, how did you boast to me about going to Haikou. You said that as long as I agree to your conditions, let you choose elite soldiers, let you have enough food and grass, and let you bring the most sophisticated equipment and equipment of my Great Zhou, you will definitely give me a satisfactory result. However, can I be satisfied with the results of the battle now? If it weren't for you boasting about Haikou, how could I have made up my mind to join forces with the Jurchens? I have doubts in my heart, and I don't want to take risks, all because I trust you too much. ”

Yang Jun looked at Guo Xu in astonishment, and had an ominous premonition in his heart. How did Guo Xu say such a thing? Why did you even put the decision to send troops on yourself? Isn't this putting yourself on the back of a cauldron? Yang Jun opened his mouth to argue, but after thinking about it: the emperor may want to bear all the blame for himself, but he will forgive himself as agreed last night. He wants to digest the responsibility of sending troops together, since he has already admitted the crime of losing the war, what about one more crime? As long as he finally lifts it up high, puts it down gently, and fulfills his own promise. He wants to clear himself, and he will do what he wants.

"The emperor forgives the sin, and the old minister is ashamed." Yang Jun's tone was vague, neither denying nor affirming, and he shouted on the ground. But in the ears of many officials in the DPRK, this is Yang Jun's admission of the matter. It turned out that the plan of Lian Juzhen to attack Liao was proposed by Yang Jun. He caused all this. Originally, he thought that the crime of killing Yang Jun was too severe, but he instantly took it for granted.

Guo Xu nodded and said, "It's good if you admit it." In accordance with your requirements, I have raised the financial and material resources of the whole country to let you select the most elite 300,000 soldiers, horses and generals of my Great Zhou to go on the expedition. You have not been able to keep your promise. But you blame your generals for not obeying orders. Then I ask you, these are the generals you have chosen, who is to blame for their stupidity? Is it strange? Isn't the responsibility for the defeat of the soldiers you have chosen? How can you blame the incompetence of the people you have chosen yourself. Is it not because of your incompetence that they are incompetent? As far as I know, that Han Gang is the person you single-handedly promoted, and it is Pingxi Xia who is a member of your cavalry guard. Most of the generals in this army are your personal individuals, I know it. I'm just here to win, and I'm just turning a blind eye to it

Just turn a blind eye. What's even more ridiculous is that when you attacked Jinfu, you actually let a temporarily promoted general command the siege? Do you leave it alone? That Ma Qingshan was just a team leader before he was promoted, and you were too childish, so that a team was commanding hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the city? You take my trust as a child's play, take the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my Great Zhou Dynasty, and take the survival of my Great Zhou Society, it is simply unbelievable and intolerable. How can you win in such a situation? This defeat is entirely your fault, the result of your own work, you don't bear the blame, who will? ”

Yang Jun looked at Guo Xu dumbfounded, his heart sank, until he sank to the bottom of the dark and cold deep pool. All the weird and unsteady feelings from before were connected together at once, and his mind was like a flash of lightning in the night, illuminating the chaotic darkness at once, and he understood everything at once.

"Fooled. Caught in a trap. A thought rolled through his heart, Yang Jun sweated like pulp all over his body, and his body suddenly softened as if his muscles and bones had been removed.

"What makes me even more angry is that you went back to Beijing for more than ten days, lied that you were seriously ill, and closed your door. You don't say anything about the defeat. I've been waiting for you for more than ten days, and you haven't even been able to get a letter. What will you look up and down the court? Do you think that everything will be all right if you hide at home? I and my ministers are tormented by your mistakes, and the terms of the peace agreement of the Liao people are so harsh, that I and my ministers have to endure humiliation and calm the situation. And you? I didn't even care. Is this what you call a conscientious attitude? If you have the slightest remorse, I can forgive you. It's a pity that you didn't make anyone feel the slightest bit of guilt. Today, you come to ask for sin, which seems sincere, but this recital is full of flaunting yourself, shirking responsibility, and boasting. It shows that your intentions are not sincere. Lu Xiang is right, because of your fault, my Great Zhou fell into the danger of destroying the country, the majesty of the country was swept away, the crowd was excited, and the public opinion was boiling. If you don't kill you, it will be intolerable to the principles of heaven, the law of the country will be intolerable, and the grievances of the people will be difficult to settle. Someone came, took away Yang Jun's official robe and crown belt, pulled out of Daqing and beheaded. Man must pay for what he has done. Guo Xu stood up, pointed at Yang Jun and scolded sharply.

Yang Jun opened his mouth and stammered, suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Your Majesty...... Emperor...... That's not what you said last night......"

Guo Xu shouted: "Come on, silence him." ”

The so-called silence means that someone stuffed his mouth, which is a measure to prevent criminals from slandering and insulting, but at this moment, it is Guo Xu's means to shut up Yang Jun. Several palace guards rushed forward, grabbed Yang Jun's arm, and stuffed a ball of linen cloth into his mouth.

Yang Jun didn't know where the strength came from, he raised his arms and pushed several guards away, pointed at Guo Xu with a red face and laughed, "Okay, okay." The old man hunted geese all day long, but he didn't expect to be pecked by the geese today and fell for you. Your Majesty, you are so despicable. The old man should have thought of these things a long time ago. You're trying to make the old man a scapegoat. Hehe. This is Lu Zhongtian's strategy. With your Guo Xu's ability, I'm afraid you won't be able to think of this hand. ”

Guo Xu scolded coldly: "Yang Jun, so far, it's useless for you to say anything. I advise you to be honest and punish, so that your family will not be harmed. If you speak nonsense and commit disobedience, you are harming your whole family. ”

Yang Jun laughed and said, "The old man is dead, can they still live?" You killed even your own father and brother, will you bypass them? ”

Guo Xu's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Don't you give him to me, and let him talk nonsense?" A bunch of waste. ”

Several guards hurriedly rushed up again, taking Guo Xu with all hands and feet, although Guo Xu was old and his illness had not healed, his body was still strong, and he struggled, and several guards couldn't hold him. What's more important is that Yang Jun is known for his prestige, and these palace guards are nominally under the jurisdiction of Yang Jun, which is their leader, so after all, he didn't dare to be too fierce when he started, leaving some leeway. So Yang Jun swung his head and twisted his body, making him in a hurry, and a lump of numbness couldn't be stuffed into his mouth.

"Guo Xu, Lu Zhongtian, you two shameless people. You killed the king of Jin...... Killed the Queen Mother...... Kill the Queen...... Angry with the emperor...... Having usurped the throne, you are the sinners of great rebellion. The old man was dizzy, and regretted that he shouldn't have been mixed with you and became your accomplice. The old man should have joined forces with King Liang's father and son and Lin Jue to kill your usurper thieves that day. You are the ones who are rebellious, and the Great Zhou is destroyed in your hands. All this is retribution...... This is all retribution for you......" Yang Jun struggled violently and shouted loudly.

Guo Xu's face turned pale and he scolded anxiously. I didn't expect Yang Jun to shake out these things in public, and the guards couldn't control them effectively, which was really hateful. To say these things in front of so many people would be extremely detrimental to yourself. In a hurry, Guo Xu didn't have time to call the guards to help, he directly jumped over the dragon case and jumped off the throne platform several feet high, reached out and grabbed the linen cloth in the guard's hand and stuffed it into Yang Jun's mouth.

Yang Jun's pale head swayed violently, making Guo Xu unable to succeed, and at the same time, Yang Jun's mouth was still shouting: "Guo Xu, Lu Zhongtian, you ...... Unscrupulous means to usurp the throne. There is no Great Zhou Society in my heart...... It was you who provoked the rebellion of the Qingjiao at the beginning, intending to take corn from the fire, and finally put the responsibility on Fang Dunru to solemnly punish them. And now you are using despicable means against me...... Guo Xu, you went to my house last night to say...... As long as I confess my sins, you will ......"

Guo Xu's eyes were split, and one hand slashed at Yang Jun's face, but he still couldn't control Yang Jun's head, and Yang Jun's mouth was still vague and said those words. In a hurry, Guo Xu reached out and grabbed a blue-smoking incense burner on the wooden frame on the side head, and smashed it down on Yang Jun's head.

One time! Twice! Three clicks!

It was a copper incense burner with a hollow pattern, and it was quite heavy. It smashed on Yang Jun's skull, making a bouncing sound with an echo. Yang Jun was already unconscious after two hits, but Guo Xu seemed to be unsatisfied, and still waved and slammed it. Vaguely, Guo Xu seemed to have returned to the bloody dusk, and he grabbed the hair of the crown prince Guo Mian on the corridor of his father's bedroom and knocked him to death on the stone pillar. The blood and brain pulp in the back of Guo Mian's head splashed everywhere under the setting sun made him never forget it for the rest of his life, and Guo Xu would see that scene in many dreams. Guo Xu couldn't tell if it was fear or excitement, just like the situation in front of him, the blood mist that popped out of the incense burner on Yang Jun's pale forehead made Guo Xu feel a kind of pleasure inexplicably, making him seem to be unable to stop.
