Guo Xu's mood was undoubtedly very urgent, and when he was waiting for the court in the side hall, he learned the news that Yang Jun had come to the court. The last worries in my heart were swept away. Yang Jun didn't change his mind, he came, which means that last night's words are still valid, then everything will go in the direction designed by himself and Lu Zhongtian.

He couldn't wait to see Yang Jun's recital.

"All Aiqing, don't be polite." Guo Xu waved his hand and said loudly, with a hint of joy in his voice.

"Your Majesty." Everyone got up, and the sound of dressing up sounded in the hall.

Guo Xu's eyes fell on Yang Jun, and he raised his hand with a smile and said, "Yang Aiqing, you are here." I heard that Yang Aiqing had come to the court, and I was very surprised. It seems that Aiqing's illness has recovered, which is gratifying. ”

Yang Jun bowed and said: "Emperor Xie cares, the old minister's body is generally fine, so he naturally wants to come to the court." ”

Guo Xu nodded and said, "Very good, very good, it's good to be fine." Come and give Lu Xiang and Yang Aiqing a seat. ”

It is a tradition to give the prime minister a seat, and it is the first time that Yang Jun has won this honor, of course, it is because Yang Jun has not recovered from his illness, which is Guo Xu's caring heart, but there is nothing to say. The stool was moved, but Yang Jun didn't sit down, and he didn't want to delay too much. Since it has been decided to play the plead and cooperate with the emperor, there is no need to delay any longer. I'm a simple person.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at today's court meeting, what is the matter with all Aiqing?" Guo Xu asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a performance." Yang Jun responded and said.

Guo Xu looked at Yang Jun and nodded: "Yang Aiqing is sick, and she still doesn't forget about state affairs, so please come." ”

After Yang Jun thanked him, he quickly took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground, and at the same time took out a copy of the fold from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

"Start playing the emperor, the old minister has a sparse performance, please take a look at the emperor." Yang Jun said in a deep voice.

Guo Xu suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded to the waiter. An attendant stepped forward to take it and present it to Guo Xu. Guo Xu's hands trembled a little when he unfolded the fold, and he almost couldn't grasp it. He secretly scolded himself for not being able to hold his breath, how could he be so flustered in his heart. Guo Xu was not so flustered when he forced his father to kill his brother and tortured him, but now he couldn't suppress his nervousness in the face of Yang Jun. It's very simple, because he is facing a powerful person who holds the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou, Guo Xu has always had a sense of fear of Yang Jun in his heart, and now he is using tricks to get rid of this person, and the panic in his heart is a little irrepressible.

The fold finally opened, and it was densely covered with words. Yang Jun's handwriting is not good, after all, he is a martial artist, but his words are strong and powerful, and the words are like knives and guns with a sense of forest, just looking at the words gives people a sense of battlefield and verticality.

Guo Xu quickly read the fold and breathed a sigh of relief. This is indeed an excerpt of the guilt, nothing has changed, and when this fold is in hand, everything is settled. Yang Jun is dead. Guo Xu subconsciously looked at Lu Zhongtian sitting on the stool, Lu Zhongtian's face was full of concern, Guo Xu nodded slightly, Lu Zhongtian reached out to stroke his beard, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Yang Aiqing, you are finally willing to face this matter." Guo Xu closed the fold and looked at Yang Jundao who was prostrate in front with a smile.

Yang Jun thought he was going to make a scene, and said in a deep voice: "The old minister is ashamed and has no land, and the old minister will."

You have to face it. Lao Chen is never a person who shirks responsibility. ”

Guo Xu nodded and said, "However, what you said on the fold is from the bottom of your heart, are you willing to accept the punishment for this?" ”

Yang Jun said: "The old minister is willing to receive all punishments, and the old minister's mistakes will never be shirked." ”

Guo Xu sighed, picked up the fold and held it in the air, looked around at the ministers and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this fold is the guilty plea of the privy envoy Yang Jun. You're curious to know what's going on. Come, read it out in public, and let everyone hear it. ”

A personal attendant stepped forward, took the fold in Guo Xu's hand, and stood still in front of the ministers. All the officials listened with bated breath. But listen to the loud voice of the chamberlain.

"Yang Jun, the criminal minister, is scared. The ministers have been blessed with the emperor's grace for a long time, and they are favored by honor. The court has high hopes for the ministers, and let the ministers shoulder the responsibility of the prosperity of the society, which can be said to be trusting and looking forward to it. Ranchen lived up to the expectations of the court and the emperor's trust. In this battle of the Northern Expedition, he returned with a feather, and the ministers were ashamed and wanted to die. Although in this battle, some generals in the army, such as Han Gang, Ma Qingshan and others, did not obey the order and attacked the enemy, resulting in passivity from the beginning of the war. After that, although the ministers tried their best to restrain them, they did not fully succeed. The morale is gone, and it is difficult to return to the sky. But the minister cannot attribute the responsibility for the defeat to his subordinates. The minister is the commander of the army, and this responsibility is naturally borne by the minister. Therefore, the ministers made this mistake and asked the emperor and the court for guilt. The minister is willing to take responsibility for the defeat of the army, and will not shirk the blame. ”

The ministers of the palace whispered one after another. Most of them didn't expect that Yang Jun would admit his guilt so simply and be willing to bear the consequences. This is completely inconsistent with Yang Jun's usual style. As we all know, Yang Jun is extremely selfish, or extremely protective of his own interests. On weekdays, when it comes to his inappropriateness, he will be angry and do his best to excuse him, and at the same time, he will retaliate without mercy afterwards. Today, he actually took the initiative to take responsibility, and it is this great responsibility, which is incredible.

Maybe he couldn't bear it, he knew that the pressure of speech up and down was too great, and he knew that he couldn't hide. That's why I have to do it. "A lot of people think so.

The chamberlain's recitation continued: "...... The minister joined the army at the age of seventeen and served the imperial court, and it has been forty years since then. In the past 41 years, the minister has experienced 219 battles and 32 wounds on his body. In every battle, the ministers did not care about life and death, and held the idea of death. After entering the court as an official, the minister asked himself to act conscientiously, did not dare to be a little biased, nor did he dare to say that he was completely fair, and there may be omissions, but for the minister, he was cautious about walking on thin ice. The imperial court entrusted important tasks to the ministers, and the emperor and the emperor trusted the ministers very much, how dare the ministers live up to it. Of course, the past cannot make up for today's mistakes, and the ministers do not win the sympathy of the emperor and the court in this way. The minister wants to do a good job in his heart, but his talent and virtue are shallow, and his strength is not enough. The minister tried his best, tried his best but failed to do his job, although he had regrets, he did not regret it. Although I am sorry, I am not ashamed. The minister's serious illness was at the beginning, his brain was dizzy, and he didn't know what to do. I hope you will forgive me. The guilty minister Yang Jun paused. ”

The hall was silent, and many people breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Jun finally admitted his mistake, which somewhat relieved the pressure on the imperial court. All dirty water is fine

is splashed on Yang Jun's body, not only is the responsibility for the defeat of the army, but even the follow-up peace terms can let Yang Jun carry the black pot. Originally, after everyone agreed to the terms of peace yesterday, they all felt guilty, and once the terms were announced, they would be scolded by the people of the world. But now, this black cauldron has finally been carried by someone.

There are even some smart people who have read some unusual flavors from Yang Jun's confession. This is indeed a confession, but Yang Jun is obviously a little unwilling in it, he listed his qualifications and merits, from his youth to the present large and small battles, he listed the specific numbers, and told everyone how many injuries he suffered and how much he suffered. Just smack it and you'll get a taste of it. Yang Jun seems to be telling everyone that his merits far outweigh his own faults, and even if he confesses, he is a person of great merit and should be forgiven.

There was a sneer on the corner of Guo Xu's mouth, Yang Jun was obviously not completely relieved, so he said such a lot of credit for his own merits on the fold, in fact, he was reminding himself. At the same time, it is also to let the ministers know his great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and exert some moral pressure on themselves. However, at this moment, he had already gotten what he wanted to take, and Yang Jun's death time had arrived. It's not that he has to kill him, but the Liao people want to kill him, and he has no choice but to borrow other people's heads.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have all heard Yang Jun's recital, Yang Shumi has the courage to take responsibility and does not shirk his own mistakes, I am really moved. Yang Jun also did such a thing for Da Zhou and made so many meritorious achievements, and I really admire it. But you say, 'What shall I do with this?' Guo Xu asked in a deep voice.

The people in the temple were silent, and no one would speak first, for it was not yet their turn to speak.

"Prime Minister Lu, you are the prime minister, I want to hear your opinion first." Guo Xu said.

Lu Zhongtian slowly stood up, bowed and said, "The emperor actually doesn't need to ask much, there are laws in the Great Zhou, and some act according to the laws." Although Yang Jun has made great contributions to my Great Zhou, but the merit is merit, and the merit is over. Yang Jun's merits, the imperial court has already been rewarded, he has become my Great Zhou privy envoy from an ordinary soldier, this is the reward of the emperor and the imperial court to him. Now that he has committed a crime, he naturally cannot offset his previous merits, but must accept punishment. ”

Guo Xu nodded and said, "Lu Xiang's words are reasonable. However, according to my Great Zhou Law, how should Yang Jun be disposed of? ”

Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice: "Yang Jun's crime has caused my Great Zhou to be in danger of destruction. My Great Zhou was forced to make peace with the Liao people, and accepted the blackmail and peace terms of the Liao people, which greatly damaged my Great Zhou vitality and swept away its majesty. Even if he has great merit, it can't make up for his mistakes. Committing such a heinous crime shook my Great Zhou Sheji, and the country was disgraced, and Yang Jun's crime was already unforgivable. The public opinion is surging, the crowd is excited, and the suggestion of the emperor and the old ministers is to behead him and punish him for his crimes. ”

There was a sound of gasping in the hall, early this morning, many officials are low-level officials, and they are lucky to be able to come to participate in the early dynasty. They were already very satisfied to see a big man like Lu Xiangyang Shumi. They never expected that they would encounter such a hot court meeting. When they heard Lu Xiang's suggestion that Yang Shumi should be executed, these officials were stupid. That's Yang Shumi, is Lu Xiang actually going to kill him? It's terrible in the court.
