"The defendant Lu Dingchuan was forced to surrender to Mongolia, and this act was not for his own safety, but a means taken without orders and instructions, and although there is room for discussion, it does not constitute the crime of treason......

“…… However, after gaining freedom of movement, there was no initiative to contact the imperial court. The crime of dereliction of duty has been constituted. To abandon one's duties without submitting any resignation to the Imperial Court is to leave one's post without committing one's duties......"

“…… As for the defendant's arguments, they were all based on his belief that his stay as an official of the imperial court was a personal choice and not an actual contract. It said that after the surrender of the Lin'an court, the contractual relationship had been terminated by itself. These are personal assumptions and are not accepted by the Tribunal......"

"Therefore, this court pronounces the following verdict......"

As the judge publicly pronounced the verdict, the audience below let out a slight sigh from time to time. Before killing the Song traitors, as long as they were sure that those people had indeed defected to Mongolia and attacked the Great Song Dynasty, everyone knew that they were already dead as prisoners. And Lu Dingchuan's actions are still somewhat moral in a sense, and everyone is speculating about what the judge will decide.

Now the judge of the Great Song Dynasty directly convicted Lu Dingchuan on the basis of a contractual relationship, based on credit. Lu Dingchuan's bit of moral self-control turned into hypocrisy in an instant. Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Xiong Shang looked at his cousin stunned, angry, and a little desperate, and his heart was also full of sympathy. But sympathy is sympathy, and Xiong Sheng can't find a reason to refute it. Although the guys who are now known as the 'irresolute elements' also abandoned their duties when President Lin'an surrendered, they reported to the Ministry of Officials again after Zhao Taiwei returned to Lin'an.

The reasons for these people's reports are actually quite despicable, and they want to be officials again. Such a shameless action is really inferior to Lu Dingchuan from a moral point of view. At least Lu Dingchuan was ashamed not to see the court officials. But the court does not pay attention to morality, but only to facts. From the perspective of the rights and obligations of officials, Lu Dingchuan left his post without permission and belonged to 'desertion'.

Xiong Shang didn't finish listening, got up and left. His cousin Lu Dingchuan has been able to stand up until now because of his self-confidence in his own morality, and he has no regret for his actions when the country is in danger. When this innocence is shattered by the facts, everything becomes very pitiful. Xiong Sheng really couldn't bear to listen to it.

"He was sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for two years. and dismissed from office, and fined Yi Ke ......" When Xiong Sheng walked out of the courtroom, which was already full of exclamations, he still heard the content of the verdict.

This can't be the idea given by Taiwei Zhao, right? When looking up at the sky outside, Xiong Sheng couldn't help but think. But this is just thinking about it, not to mention whether Taiwei Zhao has time to meddle in this matter, but what if he intervenes. Xiong Sheng himself could not find a reason to overturn the verdict.

Yes, if you stand on the height of morality, Xiong Sheng can accuse the big-ticket officials of not having morality than Lu Dingchuan. But from the height of morality, some people can also accuse Lu Dingchuan of why he didn't commit suicide and martyrdom? Before the surrender of Lin'an, it was not without officials who committed suicide and martyrdom. After the surrender of Lin'an, there were also officials who committed suicide.

Not to mention, there are also Zhao Taiwei and others who are still fighting bloodily, and finally recapture Lin'an and restore the Great Song Dynasty.

With these expelled, Xiong Xiang returned to his home, ready to change his clothes and go to work.

Walking on the road, he saw a lot of young people carrying equipment engaged in surveying and mapping. Taiwei Zhao has already ordered the transformation of Lin'an. As for what it can be transformed into, Xiong Sheng has really seen it. Zhao Taiwei has built a huge future urban sand table.

There was no Lin'an on the title on that sand table, and all the city names were the old name of Hangzhou. When making this sand table, a hot air balloon was used to draw condescendingly, so the sand table was very accurate and three-dimensional. After passing through several rivers in Hangzhou, all houses on both sides of the river will be demolished, and a soil and water conservation green belt will be built along the river. Next to the green belt is a wide road.

In the past, the people of Lin'an relied directly on these rivers for water supply, and in Zhao Taiwei's design, several new reservoirs surrounded by layers of greenery were built outside Hangzhou. From these reservoirs to the city, there are a number of high-rise water pipelines that connect them. The water from the reservoirs is treated, irrigated and sent to communities through these pipes.

When Zhao Taiwei trained the main officials of the imperial court, he proposed a clear 'water supply and water system'. These pipes are part of the water supply system, which includes a large number of community latrines and latrines. The daily sewage of Lin'an residents is sent by special personnel to the treatment site outside the city to be processed into earthworm soil. The fertile earthworm soil is sold to farmers, and the earthworms are sold to feedlots for processing into feed.

Walking past these young people engaged in surveying and mapping, Xiong Sheng had an impulse to ask how much the gang earned. Xiong Sheng never thought that Da Song could actually be so rich and wealthy. When his relatives came to him three years ago, Xiong Sheng arranged a state-run breeding farm. At that time, apart from this kind of state-owned enterprise, Xiong Sheng could not find other jobs that could accommodate people.

By last year, the republic was four years old. The family's husband and wife and their eldest son both work in the farm, and each of them receives between 3 and 5 yuan a month. Both children were sent to school in accordance with the regulations. In other words, this family of five can earn 12 yuan per month. They live in thatched huts provided by the farm, and pay a nominal monthly dormitory fee.

Xiong Shang is a scholar, according to the regulations of the Great Song Dynasty that the current Yulu is halved, he can only get 27.5 guan if he gets 55 guan every month. Xiong Shang's wife has no job, and the whole family of five has to be supported by Xiong Shang's 27.5 guan.

Yes, each of the three working members of the relative's family has to take care of more than 500 chickens every day, shoveling chicken manure, collecting eggs, feeding, and watering. In the case of chicken plague, you have to pay a fine.

But so what. is that Xiong Shang's income has recovered to 55 yuan, and his family's income is less than three times that of his relatives' families. Xiong Shang is a good book of six books, and there are six in the country at the same time. His relatives only raise chickens in the National Nutrition Chicken Farm, and there are hundreds of them outside Lin'an City. There is no comparison between the two sides in terms of status, but they are completely comparable in terms of income.

However, Xiong Shang is one of the six Shangshu after all, and he is not really concerned with his relatives. Moreover, after Zhao Taiwei took office, he legislated, and it was illegal for officials to send money to each other, especially when subordinates sent money to their superiors, and they were criminalized if they were caught. So Xiong Shang saved a lot of money to move around. With a canteen, a bathhouse, a laundry ticket, a nursery, a school, his family's out-of-pocket expenses were greatly reduced, and even hired only one servant. Compared with the quality of life, relatives can't compare with Xiong Shang Shu. In the civil servant community of New Hangzhou City, Xiong Shang Shu can use the Shangshu Mansion allocated by the imperial court.

With a considerable degree of longing, Xiong Shangshu changed his clothes at home and rushed to the Ministry of Rites. At this time, the minister of the Great Yuan in the Great Song Dynasty, Wu Li Buhuachi, was waiting here. He said with a smile: "Xiong Shangshu, as we said before, we want to talk about the exchange of prisoners, but I don't know what Xiong Shangshu thinks?" ”

"One Mongol for ten Song people. If you send it to Zhigu Village, you will exchange it if you are still alive. "Xiong Sheng is completely tired of this negotiation. The Great Yuan attached great importance to the Mongols, and of course the Great Song had to take advantage of this aspect.

Uri Buhuachi was already fully aware of Da Song's position, and he replied, "This is easy to say. It's just that your country can't change the conditions for the exchange of thousands of Mongolian households? ”

"The Great Song Dynasty will never let go of the Song traitor. Naturally, this condition cannot be changed. Xiong replied.

"Isn't it okay to exchange it with the empress dowager of the Great Song Dynasty?" Uri Buhuachi came up with a really new condition.

If it was before, Xiong Shang would probably be able to calm down a little. After observing the court trial of the cousin today, the current Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Song Dynasty has no interest in the group of people who surrendered to Lin'an. If it was out of personal sympathy, Xiong Sheng felt that it might be a good choice for those guys to stay with the other Song traitors on Dayuan's side. Whether they are the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, or the former official family, they can't change their fate.

Looking at Xiong Xiang's expression, Ambassador Wu Li Buhua Chi saw some clues, and he sighed: "I heard that the Great Song Dynasty is a state of benevolence and righteousness, but I didn't expect to be so dismissive of loyalty and filial piety. ”

Hearing that he was accused by the barbarians of not paying attention to loyalty and filial piety, Xiong Shang's face became very ugly. But it's not easy to fight back, the other party is a barbarian, and it is too nonsense to accuse them of not being loyal and filial. Xiong Shang thought for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Today's court trial is about reciprocal obligations. Although there is no obligation between the Great Song and the Great Yuan, there can be reciprocal between the Great Yuan and the Great Song.

With Jinshi's IQ, after Xiong Sheng found his idea, he had a rhetoric in a moment. With a smile, Xiong Sheng smiled bluntly: "Since even the Mongolian cavalry can't win in the plain field battle, what's so strange that my Great Song Dynasty doesn't talk about loyalty and filial piety to the Song traitors." ”

Compared with the benefits of tongues, Mongolian nobles and Great Song Jinshi are not at the same level at all. Especially when the Great Song Jinshi was finally able to face Mongolia on an equal footing. Uri Buhuachi was choked by these words and was speechless for a while. Finally relieving himself, Uri said angrily: "It is not a gentleman's work to fight for the benefit of the tongue." ”

Xiong Shang just wanted to laugh when he heard this. This Mongolian nobleman is also interesting, he even thought that the Great Song Dynasty would treat the Mongols as gentlemen. Or, when the Great Song Dynasty was inferior to the Mongols in force, the Great Song did not like to discuss the topic of war. And when the Mongol forces were inferior to the Great Song Dynasty, they also did not like to discuss the topic of war?

In the end, the two sides still did not reach any consensus, and the issue of prisoners of war continued to be entangled in 'one Han army for one Song man, and one Mongol army for ten Song people'.

Xiong Sheng was actually very curious about why Taiwei Zhao insisted on such a meaningless condition. But since he didn't ask it clearly at the time, it would be a little inappropriate to ask now. Just when Xiong Sheng thought that he was going to continue to fight, an envoy from the Eastern Roman Empire arrived in the Great Song Dynasty.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of this, and Xiong Sheng has to face friends who have never met.
