"Master Hou, our people have made a major discovery, and Kong Rong will not be able to escape responsibility this time." Xu Shu took a piece of information and hurriedly came to find Lu Rui.

"Yuan Zhi, don't worry, say slowly, what happened to Kong Rong?" Lu Rui watched the fish in the pond in the yard and motioned for Xu Shu to present the information.

"Master Hou, this is Kong Rong's random pen collected from Kong Rong's poetry meeting, and here is a bamboo slip written by Kong Rong himself." Xu Shu presented the bamboo slip to Lu Rui.

Lu Rui took the bamboo slip and looked at it, and only one paragraph was engraved on the blank bamboo slip: What should the father do with the son? As for its original meaning, it is really lustful. The son is also to the mother, and it is also ridiculed? For example, if the object is sent in the bottle, it will be separated.

"Master Hou, this is Kong Rong's remarks when he was discussing parent-child relationship with his friends at the poetry meeting, this remark is really rebellious!" Xu Shu arched his hand and returned to Lu Rui.

Xu Shu is not wrong, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the era of filial piety, when it comes to parents, they are generally greatly praised, for example, this poetry meeting, some people raised the issue of parent-child relationship, and the general people must have praised the kindness of parents to give parent-child life, and children should honor their parents to repay the kindness of parenting. This is the main theme, but Kong Rong did not follow the main theme, and also made a counterattack.

"Kong Wenju is really too debauched, it is better to treat the relationship between father and son as a beast, although it may be a wild word, but it is indeed a good weapon, a weapon to attack Kong Rong." According to Lu Rui's point of view, Kong Rong's words are too presumptuous, and they will be attacked even in modern times.

Kong Rong's words turned the act of parenting with their children into a ruthless and unrighteous act.

According to Kong Rong's thinking. Is a father kind to his children? Without kindness, the child is nothing more than the product of the father's momentary estrus and ejaculation into the hole. Is a mother kind to her child? Without kindness, the mother is like a bottle that traps the child, and when the time comes, the child is born, it has nothing to do with the mother, to put it bluntly, the mother is just a bottle.

This kind of remarks will definitely be criticized by everyone even in modern times, let alone in the Han Dynasty. Such remarks are enough to kill the whole clan.

"What Hou Ye said is very true. Kong Wenju compares the way of the monarch and the minister's father and son to this, it is really inferior to the beast, as long as we take advantage of this, Kong Wenju's life will not be long in coming. ”

"Yes. Is there conclusive evidence on this matter? ”

"Please rest assured. There are witnesses. There is physical evidence, and it is Kong Rong's words, and Kong Rong's words have appeared many times. There is no room for refuge in the face of a lot of evidence. ”

"Yuan Zhi, Kong Rong borrowed too many students to surround Xu Du Taishou Mansion, we can also try to inform the people of the world about this matter, no, as long as the people of Xu Du are fine, Yuan Zhi, think about it, what will happen to Kong Rong." Kong Rong used public opinion to suppress Cao Cao, and Lu Rui could also use public opinion to suppress Kong Rong.

"Master Hou is wise, and his subordinates know what to do."

"Okay, in a few days it will be the court meeting next month, Yuan Zhi, in three days, spread this matter throughout the city, there should be no problem with this."

"Please rest assured, my subordinates know what to do." Xu Shu arched his hand and retreated, with Lu Rui's order, Xu Shu only needed to make this matter full of wind and rain in the city.

"Yes!" Lu Rui nodded and continued to feed the fish with fish feed.

Time flies quickly, three days have passed, these three days, Kong Rong's remarks have spread all over the city and beyond, everyone is indignant at Kong Rong's remarks, and they all hate Kong Rong in private, some noblewomen are even more angry at Kong Rong's remarks, comparing themselves to a bottle, what a humiliation this is, everyone is blowing the wind on the pillow, letting their husbands go to Kong Rong theory.

The city of Xudu was full of wind and rain, and everyone's attention was shifted to the incident of Kong Rong, and the incident of Cao Pi was forgotten a lot. Kong Rong didn't know about the discussion in Xu Ducheng at this time, early in the morning, he put on his court clothes and went to the court, and today was the day of Cao Pi's public trial.

As soon as Kong Rong's front foot left the mansion, Lu Rui led someone to raid Kong Rong's home.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

"Everyone, please get up, what is the performance today?" Liu Xie also changed into a new clothes, today is the day of the public trial of Cao Pi, Cao Cao has suppressed himself for so long, his son finally made a big mistake and let himself have time to exert his authority.

"Your Majesty, Wupin Zhonglang General Cao Pi was ordered to garrison the naval camp when he was on the southern expedition with the prime minister, and was raided by the enemy army at night, Cao Pi actually ordered not to rescue the wounded and sick, and broke through with the sergeant alone, this is a big crime, please Your Majesty investigate." Kong Rong was the first to stand up, and Liu Xie sued Cao Pi for his guilt.

"Oh? Kong Qing's family, has this matter been investigated clearly? Cao Qing's family is the beloved son of the prime minister, and he is also quite famous in Xudu, how could he do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing? Liu Xie snorted lightly, as if he was quite angry about Kong Rong's appearance, and refused to believe it.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has witnesses who can prove this matter, please allow Your Majesty to declare witnesses to the temple." Kong Rong confidently replied to Liu Xie that Kong Rong had prepared a lot of things for today's court meeting.

"Quasi-play!" Liu Xie suppressed the excitement in his heart, raised his hand, and signaled that Kong Rong could let the witness go to the temple.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please make decisions for us women and children who are working hard!" As soon as Liu Xie allowed the witnesses to go to the temple, more than a dozen women knelt on the ground with their children's ragged clothes, wept bitterly, and began to tell their tragic fate.

These people are the families of the soldiers Cao Cao brought to the southern expedition, including Jingzhou and Xudu. Their husbands were all soldiers who followed Cao Cao's southern expedition to Sun Quan, and they were killed in the battle of Guilin County, and the cause of death was excessive serious injuries, and Cao Pi did not save him when he saw death.

A woman's tears, combined with a child's innocent eyes, are often the most powerful weapons of murder. Many ministers wept after hearing the description of the woman and the child. The plot is very touching, her husband has served the country for many years, and he has also made some military exploits in the south and the north, but he didn't expect to die in the end not in the hands of the enemy, but died in his own people.

These touching descriptions were not only filled with righteous indignation by Liu Xie's people, but even some loyal people in Cao Cao's camp showed indignation and were dissatisfied with Cao Pi's military orders.

"Humph!" Cao Cao saw Kong Rong's performance. Sneered. After so many years, Kong Rong finally learned some tricks, knew how to find evidence, and won people's hearts to deal with himself, but these tricks were like young children in a private school in front of Cao Cao, and they were not lethal.

"Cao Qing's family? Is what Master Kong said true? Why didn't Cao Qing's family save the injured soldiers? Liu Xie nodded, and glanced at Cao Pi again, after the plaintiff finished speaking, the defendant should always be given a chance.

"Returning to Your Majesty, most of what Master Kong said was true, but the situation at that time was really not optimistic. If not, the end will not make such a decision. I am afraid that all the troops of the Southern Expedition will die in the water village. Cao Pi arched his hand and admitted that he had given the military order, but he thought that he was judging the situation and was not at fault.

"Back to Your Majesty. Your Majesty has something to do. Zhang Liao arched his hand and stood up.

"Yes. What is General Zhang's important business? ”

"Back to Your Majesty. What General Cao said was true, the military situation was urgent at that time, judging from the post-war period. If our army had rescued the wounded soldiers at the beginning, it would have wasted time, and I am afraid that the army of Zhengnan would be wiped out, so please see if Your Majesty is aware of it. At Cao Cao's suggestion, Zhang Liao stood up, not only because of Cao Cao, but also because Zhang Liao himself wanted to report the truth.

"Ridiculous, General Zhang, you are the general of the Quartet, and the fire attack on the camp often only traps most of the camp, and it is impossible that there is no way to escape. Cao Pi is a person with a vicious mind, some of the soldiers who were just burned by a small fire and fell into the water, Cao Pi did not save him, this is a careless disregard for human life, not a military emergency. ”

"Kong is not talented, and he has also led the army to resist the Yellow Turban Thieves, and on the lake, fires often happen, but Kong will not abandon his soldiers. There are many generals in the palace who lead the troops, don't you know how to break through the fire siege camp with your experience in leading the troops? Why can't even a soldier who has fallen into the water and can still swim be rescued? Isn't that ridiculous? Kong Rong talked loudly and began to question the ministers in the palace.

"General Zhang, General Liang, General Huang, General Chu, do you think what Master Kong said is true?" Liu Xie listened to Kong Rong's words, and began to name several generals at random, including Liu Xie's people and Cao Cao's people, all of whom were generals with combat experience.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Master Kong said is reasonable, and there is something wrong with General Cao's order." Several generals gave basically the same answer, Kong Rong made sense this time, he was a general who had experienced a hundred battles, and it was really wrong not to save the soldiers, and the fire camp was not a Jedi, and Cao Pi's handling method was inappropriate.

"Yes!" Liu Xie nodded, secretly happy in his heart, even Cao Cao's people had no room to refute, it seemed that Liu Xie and Kong Rong had occupied Dali this time.

"Prime Minister Cao, what your lords say, it seems that General Cao is indeed guilty of a big crime, I don't know what Prime Minister Cao thinks about it?" Liu Xie was sitting on the dragon chair and asked Cao Cao a question.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is the father of the criminal minister Cao Pi, and it stands to reason that he should avoid suspicion, and the minister does not dare to make more remarks on this matter, please Your Majesty will be aware and arbitrary." Cao Cao arched his hand and returned to Liu Xie.

Comfortable, the mood is extremely comfortable! This is the first time Cao Cao has made such a soft statement since he was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao could only stare dryly at his son who was about to be punished, and could not have any rebuttals.

Liu Xie thought for a while, this is also the performance that Cao Cao, a traitor, should have, I'd rather bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear my traitorous male, in front of his own interests, even his parents and children will be betrayed.

"Well, everyone, what else do you think?" Although Cao Cao's statement was helpless, the statement of the ministers was the most important, especially the ministers on Cao Cao's side, without an absolute advantage of voting, it would be difficult for Liu Xie to move Cao Pi in the slightest.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the sage has a cloud: the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. The people are the foundation of the country, there is no king without the people, there is no minister without the king, the king is the minister, the father and the son are the norm. Kong Rong began to give full play to the ability of Confucianism, quoted scriptures and classics, and implemented Cao Pi's crimes, which were extremely heinous, and could not be forgiven in death.

At this time, no one noticed that a military general inside and outside the hall was looking at Kong Rong with a sneer, what an idiot, an idiot to the extreme. This person is Lu Rui, after Lu Rui copied Kong Rong's home, he made some arrangements and came to the palace, but he didn't let people report it, but watched Kong Rong's performance.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ancient Ming Jun used virtuous ministers, far villains, Cao Pi's heart is more vicious than the villain's country, please Your Majesty execute Cao Pi to appease the hearts of the people." Kong Rong finally got tired of talking, and finally gave Liu Xie a suggestion. Cao Pi was put to death to calm the hearts of the people.

"This?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, Kong Rong's suggestion was to kill Cao Pi, of course it was good to be able to kill Cao Cao's son, but the opinion of the ministers was the most important, Liu Xie thought for a while and decided to test the views of the ministers.

"Master Kong suggested that General Cao be executed, what do you think? Should General Cao be executed? ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, Cao Pi's move is against the way of heaven, please Your Majesty kill him to calm the hearts of the people." Liu Xie's people immediately stood up and seconded the proposal. Cao Pi's sin was too great. If Cao Piwang is opened this time, then the army's morale may be unstable, and the lives of the soldiers are not valued, how can the world be stabilized. A soldier is also a human life. Liu Xie's people seized on this dead reason. Cao Pi will be punished.

Cao Cao's people are unusual. Not many people came out against it. Although everyone supports Cao Cao, they do not necessarily think that all of Cao Cao's resolutions are right, especially Cao Pi's remarks. It is against human morality, and this does not involve political factions, so Cao Cao's people did not oppose it.

It is one thing to support Cao Cao, and it is another thing to insist on personal morality.

"The minister thinks that although Cao Pi has committed a big crime, but this military order still rescued some of the sergeants, please look at this merit, spare Cao Pi from the death penalty, and choose another heavy punishment." Some generals who experienced the Battle of Guilin naturally stood up to defend Cao Pi, but this part of the force was very weak and basically could not hear the voice.

Liu Xie saw this scene, and he was so happy in his heart, there have never been so many ministers who supported him, and even Cao Cao's people did not support Cao Pi anymore, so it can be seen that Cao Pi's death this time is inevitable.

"Father-in-law Cao, you can go in and report." Seeing Liu Xie's appearance, Lu Rui knew that it was time for him to appear.

"Yes, Master Hou!" Gonggong Cao arched his hand and walked towards the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the general of the chariot cavalry, Lu Rui, asks to see you!" Gonggong Cao arched his hand and reported to Liu Xie. Since the Southern Expedition, Lu Rui's official position has been advanced to another level, the general of the Han Cavalry, the second grade, the fake festival, and the duty is to defend the Beijing Division.

"General Chesar?" Liu Xie listened to Gonggong Cao's report, was stunned for a moment, looked at the ministers, and then realized that Lu Rui was not in the court today.

Lu Rui? When Kong Rong heard this name, he was stunned in his heart, and a bad premonition arose, Lu Rui actually disappeared for a while for such a major matter as Cao Pi's public trial, could it be that he was planning something?

"General Xuanche Cavalry comes in." Liu agreed to settle down, Cao Pi's matter was already like this, even most of Cao Cao's courtiers did not support Cao Pi, and Lu Rui should have nothing to do.

"Chen Lu Rui has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"General Lü, please, General Lü is an old minister of the first emperor, serving three generations of kings, and there is no need to be polite." After years of training, Liu Xie is already a mature emperor, if it is not forced by the situation, it is very likely that he will be a Ming monarch.

Counting from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, plus Liu Xie's short-lived brother, Lu Rui is indeed an important minister of the Three Dynasties, and since the beginning of the marquis, Lu Rui has begun to calculate the official age.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Rui arched his hand and stepped aside.

"I don't know what General Lu is about? Why is the court meeting late? "Liu Xie has mastered some of the skills of the emperor, and he has a sense of what can be angry and what things can be tolerated.

Lu Rui sighed in his heart, if Liu Xie had such wisdom when Cao Cao was the son of heaven, I am afraid that Cao Cao would only be a capable minister.

"Back to Your Majesty, your subordinates have newly led the general of the chariot and cavalry, and they have not dared to slack off. Today, the captain reported that an incident occurred in the city, which involved the safety of the Beijing Division, and the minister did not dare to slack off, so he led the troops to deal with it, and asked His Majesty to investigate. ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Actually let the general of the Che Cavalry deal with it personally? Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, could it be that something big happened in Xu Du.

"Back to Your Majesty, the people of Xudu raided Lord Kong Rong's mansion this morning, and I have no choice but to appease the people, please let Your Majesty know." Lu Rui arched his hand and replied to Liu Xie.

"What?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment when he heard Lu Rui's words, and the ministers were also stunned for a moment. Everyone has heard Lu Rui's words, the people of Xu Du copied Kong Rong's home, this is a strange thing, the people actually dare to copy the home of the court officials, what kind of world is this?

"General Chesar, what do you mean by that?" Kong Rong glared at Lu Rui, of course Lu Rui is talking nonsense, the people dare to raid their homes? It must have been Lu Rui's ghost.

"What do you mean? Master Kong, you don't remember what you said, do you? Is this sentence what Master Kong said? Lu Rui threw the bamboo slip to Kong Rong.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has something important to do!" Later, Lu Rui told Liu Xie about Kong Rong's remarks, and at the same time cited a large amount of evidence, which made Kong Rong unable to refute.

The ministers heard Lu Rui's recital, and began to whisper, Kong Rong's crime is not as small as Cao Pi, in a sense, Kong Rong is more deserving than Cao Pi. For a while, the ministers began to discuss the matter of Lu Rui's performance.

After Yang Biao listened to Lu Rui's performance, he frowned. Lu Rui made a move, Yang Biao was not surprised, Cao Cao would not save his son, but with Lu Rui's description, Yang Biao knew that something was wrong, Lu Rui took the initiative and returned the favor with his way, and grasped the weakness of the law of the Han Dynasty.

"A terrible opponent!" Yang Biao looked up at Lu Rui, his eyes were complicated. In the past, Lu Rui was Cao Cao's adopted son, politically talented, and had the opportunity to become a young minister, but Yang Biao has always regarded Lu Rui as a junior, after all, most of Lu Rui's things were done under Cao Cao's instructions.

But this time is different, Yang Biao knew that it was inconvenient for Cao Cao to come forward, and he had already handed over the matter to Lu Rui to be responsible, Cao Cao did not point Lu Rui at anything, so the loopholes in the law of the Han Dynasty were found by Lu Rui himself, and this political power was almost comparable to Cao Cao. (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you for your great support, you can guess what the loopholes in the law of the Han are. I like the study of history.
