The people of the corpse country have advocated loyalty since ancient times. If you insist on this letter at all costs in troubled times, uh. It is both very extravagant and very valuable, so it is usually famous in history and admired and praised by the world. If this persistence is out of place, or if it is unnecessarily heavy, people often call it "the only death for the foolish so-called eternal hardship." In any case, people who can put life and death aside in order to uphold their beliefs can at least afford the evaluation of "admirable".

Wei Su, who once held the name of the first general in Great Xia. has already stood in the ranks of "rebels and thieves" and has become a prisoner. However, Wei Su stubbornly insisted that assisting the prince to usurp was focused on the righteousness of the country and the people, so he had no regrets and was determined to die. Determined to carry through the really lackluster coup d'état to the end.

Pei Xianzhong, the attendant of the East Palace, can only be regarded as a gambler who wants to ascend to the sky in one step and bet heavily on speculation. An inattentive but dramatic glory stepped into the ranks of eunuchs. The conservative scholars who didn't want to support Zhao Heng and the pedantic Qingliu literati who didn't want to die raised him to the height of Taishi Gong, who endured humiliation and wrote "Historical Records", and suddenly became famous, and he was transformed from an unqualified staff member by the prince's side into a model of loyalty to the master. Pei Xianzhong, who unexpectedly lost two taels of weight, therefore had a strong reason to continue living, and lived more impassionedly than before. It's already like this, who's afraid of whom? Instead of enduring humiliation and stealing life, it is better to fight against the tide and fight for a good reputation as a model of loyalty and righteousness.

"Ling Chi exterminated the clan" is the most common word in rebellion cases since ancient times, and it has been widely affected by tens of thousands of people who have landed on their heads. Yang Zhi's claim that he has made a great merit is not a lie. The emperor did not only have the intention to control the striking surface. And there is no intention of killing. Even so, hundreds of people have been trapped in the Crown Prince's usurpation case. Although his mood and status were completely different, Pei Xianzhong became as famous as the famous Wei Su overnight, and became a spiritual role model for the Chinese ministers and military generals of the party of the abolished prince.

The power of example is endless. The vast majority of the princelings who were imprisoned were expected to be inphysiological. In their view, the so-called pending trial was nothing more than the emperor had to concoct a detailed indictment to prove their heinous crimes. Left and right is a death, why should you vainly fall into the infamy of being greedy for life and afraid of death? As the saying goes, there are a hundred people, all kinds of people. Although not everyone regards death as home, there are those who are ready to kill and calmly go to the dead, there are those who have a trace of luck, and there are also those who feel that they are wronged and deeply unworthy. Even the three marquis of the Li family and others believed that there were no eggs under the nest, so they only remained silent in frustration. No one cried out for mercy, and even if anyone wanted to do so, they were afraid that before it reached the emperor's ears, they would be drowned in prison with spittle, or they would be hacked behind their backs. It is because the entire prison of the Criminal Department is shrouded in an atmosphere of helplessness, grief and desolation, as cold and gloomy as a pool of stagnant water.

If Xu Wenhan can't even understand and ponder the thoughts of these people, then it's not Xu Wenhan.

These people were all rolled around the emperor, and they were all high and powerful before, either rich or noble. If the confession is extorted by torture, the first emperor will not be able to pass the pass, and he will bear the infamy of a cool official, which is despised by the world. So Xu Wenhan didn't think about the word torture at all.

The first thing Xu Wenhan did after receiving the order. It was in front of and after the call of a group of relevant officials that they went to the prison of the Criminal Department in person with the holy decree in their hands, and after the decree was inspected, they stopped abruptly and went home, and there was no follow-up that day.

On the night when Zhou Ting, the general of the forbidden army, mutinied to welcome the emperor back to the palace, these people were controlled by the guards, and then immediately imprisoned. The emperor listened to the advice of Xu Wenhan and Wang Yunong at that time. In order to prevent them from colluding in trouble, to prevent them from committing suicide in fear of crime, and to prevent them from being plotted and killed, the prison officials of the former prison of the Criminal Department were all abandoned, and the soldiers of the forbidden army under Wang Wenguang and Yan Fang were called to guard them closely. The princely party had actually been isolated from the world since that night, and there was no way to know what was going on with the outside world. However, from ancient times to the present, once they are included in the list of rebels and rioters, what will happen to them, these people think they know better than anyone else. Even if you dare to think about anything, you just don't dare to think about whether there is still a way to live.

Therefore, people such as Wei Su, Pei Xianzhong, and the three marquis of the Li family who could not have urinated in their pants when they were killed did not need to make a series of confessions, but there would be a strange scene of unity and unprecedented unity on the surface.

Xu Wenhan prescribed the right medicine, and first prescribed them a prescription to calm their nerves: I don't have any background of forces behind me, and I didn't have any grievances with you before. If I have to say that I have a background, my only backer is the emperor. Now I am the minister who is ordered to preside over the trial, Wei Feiyang, the only son of Weisu, has eight friendships with me, even if I don't have the courage to be selfish, I still have the heart to inquire about selfishness, at least I will definitely not fall into the well and put you to death for no reason. But what is the emperor's mind? I don't know. The reason why the crown prince Zhao usurped was because he was "held hostage." "Zhao Tianyang, the general of the Evil Plains Inner Court, raised Mao Ran and ambushed him. Anyway, that's what the Holy Decree says, so weigh it up for yourselves! The second thing is that three lists have been drawn up. The deposed prince Zhao Heng is still imprisoned in the former East Palace Prince's Mansion. The rest of the prisoners were divided into three according to the list, and were detained separately in the three prisons of the Criminal Department, the Inner Court Guard's Mansion, and the Dali Temple. Up and down? Monolithic? Vitality, maybe there is still a squeeze. Whether everyone is going to die, think about it separately and then talk about it!

The third thing Xu Wenhan did made Yang Zhi almost laugh dumbly, which was comparable to the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners in his previous life. Assign special personnel to serve elaborate meals, clean the prison on time, keep it clean and tidy, and even allow prisoners to bathe and change clothes every day, except for no personal freedom. What's the difference with a nursing home? The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to be for the emperor's kindness. The first emperor is benevolent, and I, Xu, am also kind. Only absolute obedience to the emperor is the obedience to heaven. You can't figure it out, do you?

But the emperor's benevolence was not only forced by practical necessity. And there is a bottom line, and Xu Touhan's kindness is also limited. At least as far as the emperor can tolerate. There are clouds in the book of war: attack the heart for the top, and attack the city for the bottom. In fact, Xu Wenhan's measures before the trial had a very good effect on the disintegration and division of the princely alliance, which was not so solid.

The vast majority of people can still understand the situation, and now they are like a handful of bedbugs in the emperor's hands, when to pinch one or a group to death. Any time is a breeze for the emperor. It all depends on his old man's mood. Why does the emperor have to slap your ass? How can I have spare time to play with you? Since the road to life has opened a trace of ambiguous doors, the fool is only running to the road of death! Less than three days. In prisons, there were 6 people who took the initiative to write letters and ask for guilt. It is nothing more than a gratitude for the emperor's grace and a deep sense of sin. I implore you to be lenient and make meritorious contributions.

As soon as the prisoners in prison should submit the book, they naturally have to hand it over to Master Xu Xiangxu, who was ordered to preside over the trial, to review it first. and then presented to the royal tour on his behalf. As a result, Master Xu suddenly returned to his old business and became a teacher. It is not necessary to single out a few, and those who have good writing and flexible minds are guilty of "talking alone" and giving detailed guidance on their letters of guilt claiming that every word of blood and tears. However, after six or seven days, it has become a trend in prison to write a letter to ask for guilt, and everyone is vying to be the first. Lord Xu transformed. From the chief examiner to the chief examiner. The proposition is clear, and the article is up to each of you to do. If you can be a monkey that saves your life, why bother to be a chicken that is a monkey? Everyone feared that if they were half a step slower, they would be robbed of one of the few pardon places by others. Several productions, all the letters and texts are wonderful, and the drought has its own merits, but they are all closely related to the content of Rui Slippery.

Xu Wenhan's soldiers who surrendered without a fight were invincible. But there are two people who have always remained unmoved: Wei Su and Pei Xianzhong.

The emperor gave Xu Wenhan a month to try the case of the prince's rebellion, and the purpose mentioned in the decree was very clear, "to hear and hear the world for this." After Xu Wenhan was appointed to preside over the trial on the 17th day of the first month of the 26th year of Wucheng in the Xia calendar, it took a full ten days to do enough mental warfare in the early stage. Until the twenty-eighth day of the first month. Wei Su was formally arraigned in the lobby of the Criminal Department.

The three Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the Criminal Department, and the Ministry of War are all old oilmen in the officialdom who have been in the sea for a long time, and although they are ordered to "meet" for trial, they all say in unison that "everything is only Xu Xiangma". Xu Wenhan only smiled, and did not say much about false humility.

Wei Su was dressed in a white-washed indigo robe as usual, but his eyes were sunken and his face was sallow, and he looked pitifully thinner than ever. Rao is like this, and he has shackles and torture tools on his body, and he still has the majesty of commanding thousands of troops and horses and looking at the world. Xu Wenhan couldn't help but sigh secretly: The first general in Daxia could have died in a stunned position in the high position of the Tai Lieutenant, but why didn't he do his best to encourage the son-in-law of the prince who could not succeed to seize power?

Wei Su's expression was calm, and after going to the court, he did not embarrass Xu Wenhan and the three Shangshu of the jury on the scene, and knelt down and knocked on the mountain to call the emperor long live long live, long live, and then said unhurriedly: "The criminal minister Wei Su has seen Xu Xiang and the three Shangshu lords." ”

Xu Wenhan sighed: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and General Wei has decreased again. ”

Coughed lightly and went straight to the point: "The abolished prince Zhao Heng was held hostage by Zhao Tianyang, the former general of the Inner Court Guard, with the intention of killing the monarch and plotting rebellion, why did General Wei participate in it in a moment of confusion?" Is it convicted? The emperor is the king of the Holy Wisdom, as long as the general is good enough to confess his guilt. This official will be truthful. ”

Xu Wenhan's words seem vague, but in fact, he said it very clearly: The emperor has already defined this case, and the abolished prince is "hijacked" by Zhao Tianyang, and the mastermind is the dead ghost Zhao Tianyang, you are also a," confused for a while. of accomplices. As long as you confess to the emperor, the emperor doesn't want your life, it depends on whether you can go to the Tao.

As the saying goes, it is the apprentice who speaks, and the master who is obedient.

The meaning of Xu Wenhan's words is obviously quite explicit, but he can't find the slightest fault anywhere, and he has no worries about being attacked and defended by others. The three Shangshu involuntarily exchanged glances: it is no accident that this person can be ranked in the high position of Zaifu at a young age!

Unexpectedly, Wei Su didn't appreciate it at all, and smiled indifferently: "The criminal minister Wei Su is grateful for the emperor's grace, and he also thanks Xu Xiang for his kindness, but he can only understand it."

Wei Su also pleaded guilty, but it was very different from what Xu Xiang said. It is true that the prince is being held hostage. But the mastermind is Wei Su, and the responsibility for the crime should be borne by me, and it has nothing to do with others. Zhao Tianyang is just a general of the Imperial Court Guard, how can he be innocent? I am so tired that he has died, how can I bear to let him bear the infamy of the ages? even more involved the deposed prince. The queen and the crown princess died one after another. The criminal minister Wei Su is a man who cannot be redeemed for death."

The clerk of the Criminal Department who was in charge of recording the confession on the side took a pen and recorded Wei Su's words word for word, which was solid. Xu Wenhan couldn't help frowning and secretly shouted badly, and the three Shangshu also looked at each other and couldn't cry or laugh.

I only heard Wei Su continue: "Xu Xiangji promised to truthfully play the words of the criminal minister to the emperor. That Wei Su expressed his chest directly today, and he vomited quickly. As the old saying goes: Wen dies and fights to the death. In fact, whether it is advice or war, it is just that the battlefield is different. As Xu Xiangfang said, today's emperor is a rare saint and hero in troubled times. However, since the emperor ascended the throne, the expedition to the east and the west to open up the territory and expand the territory has not stopped for a day, and the martial arts are extremely prosperous and there is little civil governance. Don't you hear the pitiful and uncertain riverside bones, you are still a person in a deep dream? Do you know that the territory of Great Xia is expanding day by day, and how many sons and daughters are forged by the blood and white bones? How much of the hard-earned money and grain of the Li people are piled up? "Wei Su is not a pedantic person, it is not that he does not understand that the general trend of the world will be reasonable for a long time, and he also knows that the pace of the world will eventually return to unification is unstoppable. But the people of Li in Great Xia are too bitter! Flying Tiger Hou Yang Zhi once said: If the people are water, the water can carry the boat or overturn the boat. It's really deafening! Isn't the ancient strong Qin also after more than ten generations of monarchs worked hard and took hundreds of years to dominate the world? Why does the emperor have to fish in tears? Why don't you take a break with the people at the right time? Do what you can? Why not two or three generations of successors to complete the great cause of dominating the world?

Wei Su said this, his emotions were slightly excited. A flush appeared on his thin and sallow face: "I was born in a poor boy and joined the army, from a pawn to a general, and has been following the emperor to fight for more than 30 years. Ask yourself about your loyalty to Daxia and the emperor! Wei Su has never had the slightest selfishness! The emperor was blindly obsessed with conquest, and had no sympathy for the people's strength, so that the people's livelihood was embarrassed without knowing it. It is important to know that ambition is far away. But the people's power is exhausted! Once the people's resentment is boiling, the country's capital will be shaken, and Daxia will be in danger! I also know that the prince is not the lord of the strategy, but he is benevolent and diligent, and it is difficult to achieve great success in starting a business, but there is more than enough to keep it, and he can take on the responsibility of governing the world and benevolence. However, because of this, the emperor was deeply disliked, and the position of the prince was in danger. Weisu made a long work for the protection of the Great Xia Kingdom. Bound! ”

His eyes flashed eagerly, and he said, "I implore Xu Xiang and the three Shangshu lords to turn the emperor." Wei Su is by no means a rebel and a thief. The Weisu soldiers failed to admonish, and now they are willing to admonish with their lives! As long as the emperor stops the conquest, stops the fighting, and sets aside ten to twenty years to recuperate with the people, even if he loses hundreds of lives of the Wei clan, he will die a well-deserved death, although he will die without regrets! ”

Xu Wenhan sighed and sighed: "Xing, the people are suffering." Death, the people suffer. It's been the same since ancient times! The topic of this section is too big, the benevolent will see the benevolent and the wise will see the wise, and the official does not want to engage in a senseless verbal dispute with the general. I don't know if General Wei has ever thought that instead of letting the people of Li continue to pay the price of several generations, why not sacrifice a generation of people with the power of the country. Let future generations enjoy prosperity and peace? ”

Wei Su said proudly: "As long as the expedition does not stop for a day." There is no such thing as peace in the prosperous world! I will turn my heart to the bright moon, when will the bright moon shine on my heart? That's all the sinners say, please don't say much. Oh. Although the dog is a little talented, there are many talents in Daxia, and there are not many of them, and there are not many of them. Although Xu Xiang has eight friendships with Xiao'er, he must also distinguish between public and private, and never use the future as an excuse to lobby again

Wei Su said this, for the sake of it, it is equivalent to blocking all the retreats. Xu Wenhan waved his hand and said, "Please calm down the general." Let's go back and think about it! One quits".

Wei Su was bent on death, fantasizing about using this to persuade the emperor to change the established state policy. Xu Wenhan felt deeply sad and helpless. A Wei Su is still so difficult to bite, and Pei Xianzhong, who has been punished by the palace, is even more lice and is not afraid of itching, isn't it even more difficult to deal with? On the evening of this day, "Xu Wenhan, who was depressed, naturally went to the Flying Tiger Marquis' mansion to inform Yang Zhi of the details of the preliminary trial.

Yang Zhi was silent for a long time after hearing this, and an unpredictable smile appeared on his face: "I will turn my heart to the bright moon, when will the bright moon shine on my heart?" Hehe, the next sentence should be the bright moon shining on the ditch! In fact, how could the bright moon shine on the ditch? If I had such an unenlightened old man as Feiyang. It's no wonder if you don't get so angry that you vomit blood and die! Wei Su is so stupid! The eldest brother is still a little kinder, you haven't pinched Wei Su's seven-inch sore spot, and it is not difficult to deal with goods like Pei Xianzhong."
