Chapter 817, Contrast
After Lu Duan finished talking about Lu You's performance on the battlefield, he quickly changed his words, "Your Majesty, colleagues, dogs are weak scholars, they can't pick their shoulders and can't lift them, they have no intention of being on the battlefield, and the reason why they abandoned their pen and threw themselves into battle is not because of his cleverness, nor his lonely bravery, nor his luck, but his sincerity to the emperor to the people of my Great Zhou." Let me ask my colleagues present, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past hundred years, how many talents have produced and how many generals have been produced, but who is like a dog, who dares to fight on the battlefield and lead troops to fight with just a little self-taught classics? ”
Speaking of this, Lu You paused, slowly swept around the crowd, ignored those whispers, and continued: "But the dog dares, he did the same, but he is invincible!" Later, I had the privilege of fighting side by side with the dog for a period of time, only to find out that this child is now learning and selling, as soon as I have spare time, I painstakingly study all kinds of art of war books and classics, it is rare that this child has a very high understanding, and will soon be able to learn and use it. I thought that it must have been the sincerity of the dog that moved the heavens, so that we could have today's achievements and glory. I think, since the sincerity of the dog can move the heavens, it should also move the emperor and all the colleagues present, right? ”
"Lu Gong is reasonable, that's what he means, I was also shocked when I heard Ping Yanhou say that he was going to go to the battlefield, I thought this kid was crazy and talking nonsense, I didn't expect him to bring me such a big surprise, isn't it God bless him, and also bless my Da Zhou, otherwise, what will Da Zhou do to fight against the alliance of Liaojin? If you can't reverse the defeat of the Great Zhou, let alone you can still stand here, even I am afraid that I may not be able to die well, so I think that Wang Youxiang's proposal is good and has won my heart. Li Cong spoke.
After hearing this, everyone thought about it carefully, and felt that it made sense, even Lu Duan was captured in that battle, Yan Peng's whereabouts were unknown for a time, and a total of seven or eight cities were lost on Monday, in this case, the government and the opposition were pessimistic, and everyone was worried that if Liaojin's men and horses crossed the Yellow River, how should Dazhou hold the capital.
Fortunately, Lu You stood up and brought gunpowder to the battlefield for the first time, coupled with his unbelievable tactics, he quickly won two victories for Da Zhou, arousing everyone's fighting spirit, and later, artillery appeared, which completely reversed the situation.
Therefore, if there is no Lu You, it is indeed unknown whether the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou can be kept, from this point of view, Lu You's contribution is indispensable, and it is not an exaggeration to be crowned king.
Thinking about it this way, someone in the DPRK and China quickly seconded it.
Just imagine, the emperor opened his mouth to agree, the crown prince and several princes seconded the proposal, two of the three prime ministers passed, three of the six ministers expressed their positions, and half of the four princes and twelve princes agreed, can there be room for maneuver in this matter?
Since you don't have one, it's better to be a good person.
Therefore, in the end, Lu You passed the resolution of the king with the overwhelming majority of secondment, and from then on, he was the king of Pingyan, the only king with a different surname in the Great Zhou.
Next, it was Zhu Jin's turn.
The people from the Criminal Department quickly brought Zhu Jin up, and at the same time read out Zhu Jin's confession and the incriminating evidence collected earlier.
Because Emperor Taizu had a clear stipulation that all those who were charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason would be stripped of their titles, there was nothing to discuss about this, so there was no objection.
It only caused a little disagreement on the treatment of the other people of the Zhu family, because of the reasoning, such a big crime, according to the law, adult men in the legal clan want to kill adult women to be sent to the army, and underage men and women are all sold.
But Lu Duan stood up and begged for a favor, saying that Zhu Jin was not the eldest son of the Zhu family, but was cultivated later, and his nature had been determined, and it was difficult to change, so he asked the emperor to read the merits of the previous heads of the Zhu family, be kind to the Zhu family, and be demoted to a commoner.
As soon as Lu Duan pleaded, the other three dukes also stood up to intercede, and then several marquis also stood up, at this point, their interests are common, after all, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no scum or anything in their own family, leave a line for the Zhu family now, and there will be a precedent for reference when it is their turn in the future.
Zhu Jin also knew that he was wrong at this time, in fact, on the way back from being escorted, he knew that something bad was going to happen, so he had been thinking about a way to get out, so he opened his mouth to defend himself, saying that he didn't mean to cooperate with the enemy, but because he had a private holiday with Yan Yan, so he wanted to borrow the hand of Nuzhen to get rid of her, avenge his aunt, and also let out a bad breath for Lu Ming.
He had already said these words in his confession, and this time he repeated it in front of everyone, not because he wanted to alleviate his crimes, but because he wanted to intercede for his own people, as for himself, he had already guessed it, and he would definitely die.
Therefore, he offered to apologize for his sins with death, and only asked the emperor to forgive his people for the sake of his ancestors.
Li Cong thought about it again and again, he knew that the Queen Mother hated the Zhu family and didn't want to forgive the Zhu family, but he was also afraid of chilling the hearts of other families, because what they said made sense, Zhu Jin was not the eldest son of the Zhu family, he only took over the title of prince when he was fifteen years old because of the death of his brother, and he was doted on by his elders since he was a child, so it caused today's big mistake.
After pondering for a long time, Li Cong spoke, the entire Zhu family was reduced to a common people, and the descendants were not allowed to enter the scientific examination within five generations, the family property was confiscated, and Zhu Jin was shackled for three days and then executed in public.
Just when everyone thought that they were going to disperse, Li Cong suddenly spoke again, "Just now Zhu Jin mentioned that he has been friends with Lu Ming, the prince of Zhenguo, since he was a child, but Zhu Jin's conduct is so stubborn, it can be seen that Lu Ming did not play a good guiding role. Moreover, Zhu Jin said that his move was also to vent his anger for Lu Ming, so Lu Ming was inevitably suspected of inducing. In addition, Lu Ming's own conduct over the years has also been criticized by many people, I thought that this kid was both civil and martial arts and talented and full of knowledge, I wanted to be light, but a few years later, he still did not repent, I decided, deprived Lu Ming of the position of the prince of Zhenguo, and went to Yuguan to build the Great Wall as soon as his filial piety expired, in order to see the after-effects, if you Lu Mansion has a brother cannibalism, your father and son should let out the title of the Duke of Zhenguo. ”
"Back to the emperor, the dog is wronged, as the saying goes, if you can't raise your godfather, Zhu Jin's parents are both complete, so why can't it be the turn of the dog to teach him how to behave, right? As for the suspicion of inducement that the emperor said, the minister dared to guarantee that there would be no such thing, and the dog Lu Ming had already reconciled with his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and asked the emperor to be gracious... Lu Duan knelt down and pleaded.
This contrast is too great, just because Lu You was proud of his gift, he was full of ambition, and in a blink of an eye, he poured a basin of cold water on him and poured it on his heart.
"Please also ask Duke Lu to clear up your housework before pleading." Li Cong got up and brushed his sleeves and left, and Liu Gonggong on the side hurriedly announced the dispersal of the dynasty.
