"Xun Aiqing, please speak!" Liu Xie's eyes lit up when he saw Xun Yu standing up, and he breathed a sigh of relief, Xun Yu was still on his side!

"Your Majesty, please allow me to ask the witness a few questions."

"Quasi-play!"

"You two are Kong Rong's students?" After Xun Yu got Liu Xie's consent, he turned to the two of them to ask questions.

"Yes!" The two arched their hands and replied to Xun Yu.

"Master Kong, are they your protégés?" After Xun Yu received an affirmative answer, he turned his head and asked Kong Rong.

"Yes, they are my protégés, but it's a pity that there is no way to discipline them."

"Master Kong, you only need to answer the questions I ask, as for the rest, you don't need to explain." Xun Yu coldly interrupted Kong Rong's answer.

"Huh?" Kong Rong was stunned for a moment, glanced at his student, and stopped talking.

"The two of you just said that Kong Rong took bribes, how did Kong Rong take bribes?"

"Returning to Lord Xun, Kong Rong accepted bribes by collecting gifts for worship, and the two of us are his students, and every time we visit our teacher, there will be gifts of money, and the bribe-givers are bribing Kong Rong through the two of us, so as to obtain the corresponding official position in the big review." The two answered Xun Yu's question respectfully.

"How many bribes are there?"

"More than thirty people!"

"Is there any evidence?"

"Lord Xun, the evidence is here!" Lu Rui couldn't be silent any longer, arched his hand, and replied to Xun Yu.

Subsequently, Lu Rui's soldiers brought a lot of evidence, including the name card signed by Kong Rong himself, and the gold and silver investigated from Kong Rong's home. There are all kinds of physical and human evidence.

"Slander! This is a complete slander, please see your majesty! "See it all. Kong Rongqi didn't fight in one place. He knelt on top of the hall with a pop. Please ask Liu Xie to avenge himself.

"This? Xun Aiqing, what do you think? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has finished the inquiry, please give Your Majesty some more time."

"Quasi-play!"

"You two are students of Kong Rong, you must know Kong Rong's daily life very well, right?" Xun Yu ignored Kong Rong and continued to ask the two who were exposed.

"Of course, Lord Xun, the two of us have followed Kong Rong since childhood. Naturally understand his daily actions. ”

"Good! Master Confucius is a scribe, and the scribe will set up a banquet to discuss political affairs and poetry in detail, I wonder how the banquet of the scribe of Confucius is? ”

"This?" The two glanced at each other and were stunned, does this have anything to do with Kong Rong's corruption?

"Why don't you two answer? Are you two fake students? Xun Yu's words immediately changed and became sharp.

"Lord Xun, Kong Rong's scribe banquet is quite famous in Shilin, Kong Rong must set up a big banquet when he sets up a banquet, and the guests have wine and meat. The singer waits and tastes the poems. ”

"Hmm!" Xun Yu nodded. The two finally told the truth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the scribe's banquet set up by Kong Rong?" Xun Yu looked at the ministers, and then at Lu Rui.

"Master Kong's banquet is indeed quite grand!" Several officials began to answer Xun Yu's questions.

"What does General Lu think?"

"It's true! Master Kong's banquet is indeed grand! "Lu Rui, as a scholar, will also participate in this kind of banquet, Kong Rong's banquet is indeed quite grand, the main reason is that Kong Rong is a rich man after Confucius.

"Hmmm! Returning to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already made a decision. ”

"Xun Aiqing come quickly!"

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty believes that the evidence of Kong Rong's bribery is conclusive, and it is indeed true!" Xun Yu arched his hand and replied to Liu Xie.

"What?" Liu Xie was stunned, and the ministers were also stunned, what kind of trick is Xun Yu playing, so he compromised?

"This?" Kong Rong looked at Xun Yu with wide eyes, and couldn't believe that Xun Yu would say such a thing.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty thinks that although Kong Rong took bribes, it was not for the sake of individuals, but for the sake of the Han Dynasty, although there is something inappropriate, but there are extenuating circumstances, please Your Majesty to investigate."

"What?" Everyone was stunned again, their IQ was not enough, what did Xun Yu say? The reason for accepting bribes is actually for the big man?

"Xun Aiqing, what do you mean?" Liu Xie couldn't figure out Xun Yu's attempt, did Xun Yu help himself or Cao Cao?

"Returning to Your Majesty, Your Majesty thinks that Kong Rong's bribery is true, but Kong Rong's bribery is not for individuals, but for the Han! I ask for your understanding. ”

"Lord Xun, what do you mean?" Lu Rui watched Xun Yu's every move coldly, and interrupted Xun Yu's words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know how much a pound of food is in the capital? How much is a tael of drink? How much is a barbecue? ”

"General Lu? You used to be a pawn farmer Zhonglang general, and you are Fan Hou, there are many chambers of commerce in Fan County, I'm afraid Hou Ye knows a lot, right? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, my big man has drifted away, even if it is a scholar, everyone may not be able to eat meat for meals, let alone ordinary officials? Ladies and gentlemen, before the yellow scarf, your fortune can have meat every month, right? But now, I'm afraid that only the waiting state banquet can many people eat a meal of meat! ”

As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, everyone immediately started to discuss, and everyone began to pour bitter water on each other. Although the production and economy of the Central Plains have recovered, compared with before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is really much worse. In order to save food, Cao Cao repeatedly ordered a private ban on winemaking!

"Your Majesty, the so-called cangli knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, and now the situation of the Han can be realistic?"

"Your Majesty, although Kong Rong took bribes, but his gold and silver were not used to squander, but to send the gold and silver to your colleagues through the banquet, if Yu remembers well, originally three days later, Kong Rong will hold a banquet in the western suburbs, I am afraid that many of your colleagues have also received invitations, if you hold more banquets, how many times will the gold and silver in front of you be enough to spend?"

"Your Majesty, if my Han Dynasty is prosperous, I expect that Kong Rong will not do such a move that insults the Confucian Holy Master, please forgive Your Majesty!" Xun Yu arched his hand and bowed to Liu Xie.

Teacher Xun, you are really amazing! Lu Rui listened to Xun Yu's lofty arguments, and seemed to describe Kong Rongzhi's "corruption" as a feat of sacrificing his life for righteousness, which was a helpless move, the so-called law is not human, and this idea that has dominated China for thousands of years is cleverly used in front of Xun Yu.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded Lord Xun's statement. Although Kong Rong is guilty, his guilt is excusable, please let Your Majesty take it lightly! An official who supported Mr. Liu stepped forward.

"The ministers seconded the proposal, please Your Majesty to investigate!" With the first bird, the other sparrows followed.

"General Lu? I wonder what General Lu thinks? Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction, and finally someone stood up again.

"Back to Your Majesty, what Lord Xun said is indeed reasonable, but Kong Rong violated the law of the country and is unforgivable, please punish Your Majesty according to the law, detain Kong Rong first, and after investigating the matter clearly, re-evaluate the officials." Lu Rui reluctantly arched his hand and returned to Liu Xie.

Xun Yu also has a hidden move in this hand, which is the interests of the scholar clan, Lu Rui must think carefully before making a move!

"Well, that's it! Tingwei, you are responsible for interrogating Kong Rong with General Lu, and after the result is obtained, you will submit a statement and report it to me! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" (To be continued......)
