Chapter 25 for public proclamation

Shihoon is good at reading words and feelings, which is mainly influenced by his experience of rising from the bottom. I want to be in the courtyard of the Lelang family, serving the young man who is ambitious and talented, if he didn't pay attention to his master's every move, smile and smile at any time, and think about flattery, I'm afraid that his ass would have been opened a long time ago. And when he got older, Li Dai was stiff, mixed into the circle of scholars, and climbed up with all his heart, and later was once positioned as a man of tongue debate, if you can't use guò subtle expressions to probe what the other party thinks, how can you debate with others?

Just as the orators of ancient Greece and Rome were often able to be the commanders of large armies, they were also able to probe and grasp people's hearts, which is an important quality that both must have.

Therefore, Shi Xun saw Lu Bu's expression when he turned his face very clearly, and he figured it out very well - Lu Bu really couldn't bear to kill Chen Gong, whether he was guilty or innocent.

Lu Bu's personality is similar to Xiang Yu, quite "the benevolence of a woman". For this word, it cannot be simply interpreted as soft-hearted, because at the same time, there is also a sentence called "the most poisonous woman's heart" - excluding the contempt and slander factors of women in ancient society, the contradiction between the two sentences is poison or benevolence?

In fact, both sentences mean the same thing, which is to slander women for being ignorant and insightless, so they are only greedy for small profits and do not care about the overall situation. When the heart should not be soft-hearted, it is called "the kindness of a woman"; It shouldn't be vicious when it's spicy, so it's called "the most poisonous woman's heart".

Xiang Yu is like this, he can ~ kill 200,000 Qin soldiers with a ruthless heart, how can there be the slightest so-called "benevolence"? Because the children of his kind of nobles don't take the lives of commoners seriously at all. But when he turned his face, he turned his face to Liu Bang, who might threaten his hegemony, but he opened up - there was no other, because Liu Bang's posture in Hongmen was low enough. gave Xiang Yu enough face. Satisfy his vanity.

The same is true for Lu Bu. I think why Yuan Shao couldn't tolerate him at the beginning, not only because he "sought the benefit of the soldiers" and had the tendency to sit on the throne, but also because he indulged in "soldiers and plunder", which made the local area unpeaceful. If the word "benevolence" is added to Lu Fengxian's head, even dogs can laugh off their big teeth. Lu Buruoren, then Cao Cao is simply a saint who will not be killed! But for Chen Gong, who is of the same class as himself and has followed him for many years. Lu Bu's heart couldn't harden after all.

Therefore, Jiang Xu came to report and said that Lai Shi had recruited all of them, and it was indeed he who sent assassins to plot to kill Shi Xun, and he should be beheaded. But Lai Shi didn't hide it from Chen Gong, so Yun "Although he didn't allow it, he didn't mention it", the subtext is that Chen Gong acquiesced to it, but he didn't give a formal order, so that it was convenient to clear himself up afterwards.

The trial was recorded, and at the end there was a confession from Lai Shihua. I can't find the slightest mistake in the program, and I put it aside in this era. can be regarded as an iron case with all human and physical evidence, even if you travel through time and space to find Di Gong, Bao Gong, Shi Gong or something, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn it over. Lu Bu himself has no spirit of the legal system, let alone the ability to judge cases, and after reading this set of files, he basically believed it in his heart. Jiang Xu's sentence of Chen Gongyuan's crime, whether it is human feelings or legal principles, is all reasonable, but Lu Bu still hesitates in his heart......

Because Chen Gong has followed him for many years, even if he has no credit, he has hard work, and he can't bear to abandon it in the border wasteland. So he pondered for a long time, and finally decided: "It is advisable to rely on Shi to confront the public platform." "I believe that although Chen Gong is not as eloquent as Xun, it is not difficult to completely clear himself up in the confrontation, as long as it can be proved that he did not hint or acquiesce in Lai's assassination, wouldn't the crime be somewhat reduced?

When Jiang Xu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, it was Xun who really understood Lu Bu thoroughly, and even calculated this step in advance. If he directly poured sewage on Chen Gong according to his original plan, I am afraid that Lu Bu will confront him again, and things will have twists and turns again, there is no need for Lu Bu to really believe Chen Gong's clearing, as long as he doubts himself a little, then Chen Gongtai will have a chance to get out.

After all, these days are still a society ruled by man, especially Lu Fengxian is a very subjective chief, those he believes in are not guilty, and those he suspects are innocent and guilty, and it is useless to rely on reasoning......

So when Lu Bu gave the order, Jiang Xu didn't stumble at all, immediately bowed to the leader's order, and then went out for a spin, and hurriedly ran back: "Lai Shi committed suicide in prison - this is all a mistake, please punish the lord!" ”

Of course, Lai Houzhi did not commit suicide, but Jiang Xu sent someone to untie his trouser belt, strangle him to death, and then hang him in a cell. In these years, the criminal investigation methods are still relatively primitive, and the level of forensic medicine is not in place, just like the county order of Juxian County in the past was hanged to death and committed suicide in disguise, only Shi Xun, who was influenced by detective novels in later generations, can see the clues, and I am afraid that there is no such clear-eyed person in these years - even if there is, it will not be a scholar, let alone Lu Fengxian. Therefore, Jiang Xu frankly killed people and killed people, and when he was done, he bit Lai Shi's finger and wrote on the wall of the prison "Defeat harms the master, how can Yan Gou Sheng" eight words.

Now Lu Bu is out of line, and there is no proof of death.

If Jiang Xu insisted that Chen Gong was the mastermind of the assassination, then if he killed Lai Shi and did not confront him, the signs of killing him would be too obvious, even if Lu Bu had no brains, he would naturally be suspicious. But he didn't climb to the head of Chen Gong much in the first place, and Lai Shi committed suicide because he implicated the chief, for quite good reasons, changing the lord is Cao Cao or Xun, maybe he will turn his brain twice, Lu Fengxian does not have such a mind.

Therefore, Lu Bu had no choice but to discuss with Jiang Xu: "Now that Lai Shi is dead, the crime of Gongtai is not obvious, can it be avoided?" Jiang Xu had long expected that Lu Bu would ask this, so he quickly shook his head: "Even if the public platform really doesn't know about it, it is a serious crime, and it should be sitting." "Even if he takes 10,000 steps back and says that Chen Gong is really completely innocent, then he will be guilty of poor supervision, and he will not be able to escape after all.

Lu Bu still couldn't make up his mind, hesitated for a while, and finally waved his hand: "You can allow the public platform to defend itself." "You show Lai Shi's confession to Chen Gong and ask him to write a self-defense and hand it over.

Jiang Xu had no choice but to take the order. Immediately on the evening of the same day, Chen Gong's defense was presented, and Lu Bu unfolded it to take a look, and couldn't help but fill his chest with anger!

Originally, Lai Shi was dead, so Chen Gong just took the opportunity to clear it up, saying that I not only did not hint or acquiesce to my subordinates to use this poisonous plan. And they didn't inform me of their original plan - otherwise they would be guilty of knowingly doing it - and I was completely innocent. But the problem, Jiang Xuguang showed Lai Shi's confession to Chen Gong. I didn't tell him that Lai Shi had already died in the yin. Chen Gong was still thinking about saving his henchman. So in his self-defense, he insisted that I knew about it, but if he vetoed it, Lai Shi would definitely not dare to hide it from me to carry it out alone, before and after, it was all a conspiracy of the Liangzhou faction!

However, Chen Gong also knew that he had no evidence and could not bite the Liangzhou faction in one bite. It is estimated that Lu Bu will no longer trust himself from now on, so he must take advantage of his last breath to explain all the words in his heart. He said that Cao Cao was abusing power, and he would have the intention of usurping, and asked Lu Bu not to have anything to do with Cao Cao, but to unite with Liu Bei to attack the Kanto region to save the Son of Heaven. Che Yu said back and forth, do you think Lu Bu can not be annoyed?

Damn, I gave you a chance, why are you still obsessed? You have such a big enmity with Cao Cao? You're going to let me and Cao Cao go to burn the jade. Then the only one who can benefit is Liu Bei! What is the relationship between you and Liu Bei?

When the table is slapped: "It's okay!" "Immediately ordered Chen Gong to be escorted to Zhang Liao's army. Serve in the army in white, in order to make meritorious service for crimes. As for the nineteen Chen Palace officials who were labeled as accomplices by Jiang Xu, they corrected the law on the same day to apologize to the imperial court.

Finally drove Chen Gong away, and it was Xun and the Liangzhou faction that let out a long sigh of relief, and they all celebrated with a crown.

Shi Xun told Lu Bu that day that 200,000 stone grain and grass "can be done in a moment", which is of course an exaggeration, and Cao Cao must be sure that the Liangzhou army will withdraw from Guanzhong before he can prepare materials and send people to escort him to Jicheng. In other words, Xun himself is in Liangzhou, and he can't run for a while.

But it's really boring to nest in Jicheng. Lu Bu had a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on the fifth day, and he didn't dare to slack off, but Jicheng was originally barren and had nothing to eat, and he and Lu Bu didn't have any common language, and he didn't dare to be too close to the people of Liangzhou in front of Lu Bu - if there was no banquet, it would be boring, and if there was a banquet, it would be even more depressing. After staying for half a month, Shi Xun simply brought it up, saying that I would not stay in Jicheng anymore, go around your territory, general, pay tribute to your great achievements, and return to the imperial court in the future, so as to help you publicize it, how about it?

Shixun's speech is very artistic, if he just said that he wanted to run around to relax, Lu Bu would not let go, as soon as the words such as "pay respect" and "proclaim" were raised, Lu Bu was immediately overjoyed, and said Hongfu Where do you want to go, I will send someone to escort you - of course, it is also to monitor you and prevent you from running away.

Yes Xun said that the source of the Qiang rebellion is in Jincheng, and now the chaos is peaceful, but the Qiang Department is still strong, and it is estimated that the general will have to use troops many times, I plan to go and take a look, so I can give you ideas. Secondly, if you want to follow the example of Dingyuan and restore the long history of the Western Regions, I also want to go to the northwest to take a walk, you don't have to go so far to Jiuquan and Dunhuang, it is enough to go to Wuwei and Zhangye.

So Lu Bu sent Jiang Xu to accompany Shixun and went to Jincheng County first. Soon arrived at the county to govern Yunwu, the new Jincheng county guard Yang Fu, the town will Gao Shun, Yan Xing and others go out of the city to greet each other. At the banquet that night, after drinking, Gao Shun went back to sleep, and it was Xun, Jiang Xu, Yang Fu, and Yan Xing who stayed and talked secretly all night.

At the beginning, Jiang Boyi told about the plan to expel Chen Gong, and they all praised it, and finally went to this thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, so that Liangzhou could be kept peaceful and never be troubled by the court. Then discussed the strategy of pacifying Liangzhou, Yang Fu suddenly asked: "Fu has a word, move to ask the servant, I don't know if it's okay?" "Should I ask or not?

It was Xun Yili who tried his best to win over this Liangzhou scholar, and immediately put on a posture of a corporal with full courtesy, and said Yang Fu with a smile: "Yishan can be outspoken, Xun Dan knows it, and his words are endless." ”

Yang Fu took a long breath, lowered his voice, and asked word by word: "Hande has declined, the Wei family is in the beginning, and there is a prophecy of 'when Tu Gao' - does Wei Gongguo have the intention of usurping?" (To be continued......)

ps: In the twelfth chapter of "Lu Bu Lai", it was said that Lu Buliu Song Xian and Yan Xing assisted Yang Fu to guard Jincheng, and it was written later that he forgot about it, and put Song Xian by Lu Bu's side, so he had to replace the previous Song Xian with Gao Shun - has been repaired, and I apologize to readers and friends. Besides, Mr. Reish, you're still in a bento, please go.
