Chapter 849: Gu Jingyun (4)

"Liu Xunyi, the emperor ...... you It can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness. ”

Looking at Liu Xunyi, who was in a trance and couldn't give up, a trace of regret quietly flashed in Prince Rong's eyes, and he said helplessly: "Whether you and Hu Lie are in cahoots or not, at least the robbery of the grain depot has a lot to do with you." caused such a big trouble, causing the people's resentment to boil, the people and the gods were angry, and even the court could not calm the people. After all, the people take food as the sky, and now you have pierced the heavens of others, if the emperor is indifferent, the people will inevitably rise up, causing chaos in the world. However, the Song and Mongolian harmony were not easy to come by, and the tension at the border pass finally died down, and at this time they tore their faces with the Mongols...... Therefore, in order to give an explanation to the three mansions of Xingyuan, to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and to the common people in the world, the emperor had to tear up and behead you, a 'meritorious minister'...... Severely punished, I hope you can understand the emperor's distress. ”

The implication of Prince Rong's words was, "The fault of this matter is that the Mongols are untrustworthy, but we can't afford to offend the Mongols, so the emperor can only take you under the knife and execute you for the 'unwarranted' crime of communicating with foreign countries, so as to quell the turmoil of grabbing grain." ”

As the saying goes, "persimmons pick soft pinch". This time, Liu Xunyi undoubtedly became a substitute for the Mongols, and even became a scapegoat for the Great Song Dynasty.

After all, all the agreements between Liu Xunyi and the Mongols had been played by the imperial court in 1510 and were agreed by the imperial court. If Liu Xunyi is at fault of "luring the wolf into the house", then the court also has the crime of "unclear decision-making", and both are to blame.

However, the imperial court was strong, and Liu Xunyi was weak. As far as the facts are concerned, Liu Xunyi's biggest fault for being wronged is not the wrong belief in Su Lie, nor the wrong belief in the court, but the wrong belief in himself.

His mistake was that he was not strong enough, and he always wanted to have his back against the big tree to enjoy the shade.

As everyone knows, the tree is falling and scattered. Today's Song Ting is still breathing, the building is about to collapse, and he has long been too busy to take care of himself, so he can only use Liu Xunyi's small life to prolong his life.

It's a pity that when Liu Xunyi tasted the bitter fruit, he couldn't turn back.

After saying that, King Rong waved lightly at the armor soldiers and sighed, "Take it down!"

"Wait!"

Suddenly, the flustered Zhao Yu hurriedly raised his wine and stepped forward, bowed his hand to Prince Rong, who was hesitant, and said sincerely: "Father, I have met Liu Xunyi for a good time, and I may not have the opportunity to see each other again in this life if I say goodbye today." In any case, he once taught children martial arts, and he is half my master. Therefore, I would like to toast him with one last glass of wine...... Send him on his way. ”

"This ......"

"Father!" Seeing that Prince Rong was hesitant, Zhao Yu pleaded again and again.

"It's rare, my son is affectionate and righteous, just let him have a drink. Prince Rong waved his hand to stop the group of armor soldiers who were constantly approaching Liu Xunyi, and reluctantly agreed, "But...... This is the only cup!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhao Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly came to the stunned Liu Xunyi with a wine glass, his melancholy eyes revealed a hint of urgency.

"Liu Xunyi, you dare to cause such a big trouble, can't you forget all the things I taught you?"

Looking at Zhao Yu, who was talking strangely and constantly squeezing his eyebrows at him, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be stunned, groaned slightly, and suddenly sounded the note he had stuffed to himself in advance, and his eyebrows frowned, and a thick suspicion appeared in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Yu.

Liu Xunyi slowly unfolded the note in his sleeve without a trace, took the wine glass suspiciously, and glanced at the note at the same time.

It was just two lines of beautiful small characters, but Liu Xunyi's sallow face changed suddenly, and his trembling eyes were full of horror.

"If you deserve it, you will be caught. If you treat the snow with injustice, you will run away with me. ”

"This ......"

Looking at Zhao Yu with a solemn expression in disbelief, Liu Xunyi, who had just experienced a great joy and sorrow, suddenly felt that his heart was like silk, his mind was blank, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Liu Xunyi, I know you're not in the mood to drink right now, but...... Don't let me down. ”

Everyone watched, Zhao Yu didn't dare to be too public, but he was afraid that Liu Xunyi would be arrogant and refused to listen to his advice, so he was anxious and hinted to him vigorously.

"The little prince treats me...... It's as deep as the sea......"

Liu Xunyi looked at the anxious Zhao Yu with complicated eyes, and it was not until this moment that he really understood what Zhao Yu meant by "cornered" just now.

Comprehending Zhao Yu's good intentions, Liu Xunyi's heart was both moved and ashamed. After all, this is the third time that Zhao Yu has taken risks for him.

For the first time, he helped Liu Xunyi deliver a letter to Zhao Xin, who was trapped in the palace, although Qin Wei stole the day, but Zhao Yu's original intention was beyond doubt.

The second time, he helped Qin Wei introduce Su He, and also escaped to save Liu Xunyi in the prison.

Counting today, Liu Xunyi has owed Zhao Yu at least three favors, not to mention that Zhao Yu has helped him and Zhao Xin secretly tryst countless times.

If it was before, Liu Xunyi would never use Zhao Yu to escape, and he would most likely be caught with his hands tied up, in order to show that he was upright and had a clear conscience.

But this time is different from the past, Liu Xunyi's deep and solemn gaze slowly swept over Lord Rong, Lord Qian, Lord Jia and a number of court ministers, squires and rich people, through their ugly faces that were either sanctimonious, or pretentious, or gloating, he finally realized at this moment.

Today's banquet is clearly a long-planned "Hongmen banquet".

The emperor deliberately issued two holy decrees in a row, deliberately rewarding Liu Xunyi first and then punishing him in front of so many people, the purpose was just to promote the selflessness of the imperial court, and the rewards and punishments were clear, so as to block the mouth of the world.

Killing a Liu Xunyi is as easy as a breeze, and it's not even a good idea. However, killing a loyal minister and good general with high hard work is very likely to lead to the repetition of Qin Hui and Yue Fei's history, especially the decline of the Great Song Dynasty to this day, and the imperial court has long been unable to make a little storm.

To put it bluntly, today's big drama is not for Liu Xunyi to see, but for the world to see. The purpose is not to confirm Liu Xunyi's crime, but to make the world believe that Liu Xunyi is a pseudo-loyal minister who is a false loyal minister and a real traitor.

If you want to kill him, first destroy his name, then slander his deeds, and then punish his heart.

Everything that happened in the Jingyun Pavilion today, as well as Lord Qian's various false accusations against Liu Xunyi, will definitely be added to and hyped up by the people present, especially these folk squires who don't know the truth. Through their word of mouth, Liu Xunyi's "ugly thing" will surely spread far and wide, and the world will know it.

As the so-called "public mouth is gold", once the rumors spread, most people will be evil-minded, give full play to the evil in human nature, and talk about Liu Xunyi's "ugly things", and even arrange them indiscriminately. As for the truth, no one cares at all, and it doesn't matter anymore.

In this way, the imperial court's killing of willows and clothes is not to hide the birds and hide the bows, and the rabbits to die and the dogs to cook, but to comply with the will of the people and eliminate harm for the country.

Liu Xunyi's death can not only calm the turmoil of the granary being robbed, but also keep the majesty of the imperial court, and also give the emperor a bad breath, and at the same time make the cooperation between Xifu and Qingfeng closer. Why not?

In this section, Lord Rong, Lord Qian, and Lord Jia, who are important ministers of the court who know the cause and effect, all know it. It's just that some of them are fueling the troubles, some are protecting themselves, and some are regretful, but they are helpless.

From beginning to end, Liu Xunyi's fate had already been arranged by them, and his promotion and demotion were all carefully calculated, so that he was still unaware of being in prison.

At this time, recalling Qin Wei's various performances yesterday, everything became logical. It is expected that Qin Wei Bacheng knows the final outcome of today's "Hongmen Banquet", so he will ...... with himself early Say goodbye with tears.

Thinking of this, Liu Xunyi's heart seemed to be hollowed out with a knife, and he was sad into his liver and spleen, feeling stubborn, crying and laughing, and all thoughts were lost.

gradually recognized the difficulties and dangers of the world, and the people's hearts were unpredictable, which made Liu Xunyi feel painful and enlightened.

At this moment, he no longer has a glimmer of hope and illusion about the cruel and ruthless reality, let alone the extravagant hope that the Criminal Division can administer justice for himself.

After today's catastrophe, Liu Xunyi even has doubts about the "heavenly principles", "morality", "good and evil rewards", and "cause and effect cycle" that he has believed in for more than 20 years.

He had never been more sure of his fate than he is today. If he still foolishly believes in the "royal law", once he is captured, he will not be greeted by grievances, and the truth will be revealed. It's a dark dungeon, a heinous torture, a humiliation that ends ...... It will be a dead end.

Perhaps, he will not be able to wait for the trial of the Criminal Division step by step, as long as Liu Xunyi steps out of the gate of Jingyun Pavilion, he will "die violently" halfway.

That's the real unjust death and never turn over.

After all, Liu Xunyi can't be lucky every time. The last time he was imprisoned, he escaped death because of the joint efforts of Qin Wei and Su He. This time, Qin Wei's attitude is self-evident, Liu Xunyi has no power and no power in Lin'an, no relatives, and if he wants to survive in a desperate situation, he is afraid that it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

Therefore, there are only two paths in front of Liu Xunyi at the moment.

or resign yourself to fate, at the mercy of others, and scribble to end your pathetic, pitiful and ridiculous life.

Either you would rather die than obey, rise up and fight, and die vigorously and vigorously, and you must not let the despicable villain be satisfied.

After all, the people who can save him right now...... Only himself.

Liu Xunyi has never been afraid of death, but he is afraid that his death will not be clear. I am even more afraid that when I was born, I was brave and loyal, but after my death, I was labeled as unkind and unjust, fatherless and ungentleman, and left behind infamy for eternity.

However, these are still not his scales.

The most unbearable thing for Liu Xunyi is that he called the heavens unacceptable, called the earth unspiritual, and ended up depressed with shame and humiliation, but the people who were really shameless and masked were full of flowers and at ease.

In broad daylight, how can we pervert and turn black and white upside down? How can we repay good without good and evil? How can good people die in vain and bad people succeed?

If this is the case, it is the destruction of human nature, isn't it really the bastard saying that "people are good and are deceived by others"?

It is a great misfortune to live in a world without justice, and it is even more unfortunate to be at the mercy of those who are greedy for money and power and who are for the sake of the tiger.

To be obedient is the greatest connivance of meanness, the heaviest trampling on kindness, and the most severe humiliation of oneself.

Liu Xunyi has never been this kind of groveling and inflammatory, let alone the kind of soft bones who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and see the wind and rudder.
