The-for-tat confrontation in the royal court made the contradiction between Chu Yujia and Wu Dangguo officially surface.

If it is said that Zhao Yan, the king of Ye, is the arbiter who made Chu Qianwen an anti-minister, then Wu Dangguo is the one who forced the king of Ye to the point that he could not kill Chu Qianwen.

When Chu Qianwen was alive, the position of power was already a general with a title, and the title had also reached the title of marquis, and there were 100,000 Northwest Army as the backing under his banner.

As long as Ye Wang Zhao Yan says a word, Chu Qianwen is the general of Ye Guo.

But as a general, could Wu Dangguo, who was originally a general, willingly give way?

Someone once said that the battle in officialdom is much bloodier and more cruel than on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, he died in battle, but he died alone, and his family will be given preferential treatment.

But in officialdom, once you lose, you will lose everything, you will be ruined, and the whole family will be unlucky together.

In the political struggle three years ago, Chu Qianwen was the loser.

Chu Yujia knew who his enemy was, and he also knew who he should and shouldn't take revenge on.

If it was said that at the beginning, Chu Yujia didn't plan to turn his face with Wu Dangguo so early, but his step by step forced Chu Yujia to this step.

Of course, there are still some reasons for Chu Yujia, after all, he just returned to the capital, and before he could enter the door, he beat up his nephew, and when he arrived in the capital, he almost killed him on the spot, and then let his son and nephew be embarrassed on the street.

No matter who this matter is put on, no one can bear it, let alone Wu Dangguo.

Chu Yujia glanced back at Zhao Kuan and found that Zhao Kuan didn't look at him, he was still standing there and didn't move.

"General Chu, what about your explanation?"

Wu Dangguo asked with a raised brow.

Zhao Yan also spoke: "General Chu, you explain why you want to kill so many people?"

Hearing this, Chu Yujia slowly turned around, knelt on his knees, and said: "The minister has nothing to say about this matter, because the minister, as a general, as a general who is supposed to protect the people, has ordered to kill more than 100 people, whether it is mixed with assassins or not, it is also the fault of the minister, for this matter, the king wants to beat and scold, kill and punish, and the minister has nothing to say......

Originally, many ministers thought that Chu Yujia would justify what they had done, but no one expected that Chu Yujia would admit it like this......

Ye Wang Zhao Yan's eyes also showed a touch of disappointment, and he took a deep breath and said: "Killing people without permission, especially killing so many people, how can you let Gu allow you to live in this world?"

"Even if the king kills the minister, the minister has no complaints. ”

Chu Yujia's forehead was pressed to the ground, and he continued: "However, before the king kills the minister, the minister implores the king to thoroughly investigate these so-called witnesses, and the minister wants to die clearly, and wants to know how many orphans of the heroic family the minister has killed......

Without waiting for King Ye Zhao Yan to speak, Wu Dangguo sneered: "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with the king?"

Subsequently, Wu Dangguo faced Zhao Yan and arched his hand: "King, if you don't kill such a thief, it will be difficult to calm the people's anger, and it will be even more difficult to correct the national law, if everyone follows this person in the future, then my country is in danger ......."

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately stood up and echoed: "King, such thieves should be killed." ”

"King, this person should be killed, he kills the people without permission, and only by beheading him on the street can he calm the people's anger......"

"King, this person should be killed, the minister implores him to be a prisoner, such a thief, only if he dies in front of the minister, can the minister explain to the families of those who have died. ”

Hearing that sound of killing, Zhao Kuan's fists were clenched tightly, and he wanted to take out the letter that had been hidden in his arms several times.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of Chu Yujia's words, if Wu Dangguo is not removed, it will be difficult for Ye Guo to get real peace.

It is clear that Chu Yujia is the best among the new generation of generals, but he can rely on his own selfish desires to strangle him before he is fully in power.

But he also knew why Chu Yujia did this.

Zhao Kuan took a deep breath, and finally did not take out the letter, but stood out of the queue and arched his hand: "Father, my sons think that General Chu is not guilty of death......

Finally heard him speak, Zhao Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a displeased look on his face, he looked at Zhao Kuan and said, "He killed so many people, why didn't he die for his crimes?"

"Killing people is one, but he protects even more people. ”

Zhao Kuan raised his head and said: "As far as Erchen knows, there are not a few assassins who infiltrated the city that day, if you change to Erchen, after searching the whole city, catch these suspicious people, and still be unforgiving, this is for my Daye's ally Hou Song to see, but also for the people of the world." ”

At this time, the old woman opened her mouth again, faced Zhao Kuan, and cried and said: "Your Royal Highness, the assassin is an assassin, and the people are the people, how can there be a reason for my Daye's soldiers to kill my Daye's people, what can the people see, is it to see the ruthlessness of the royal court, to see the ruthlessness of these soldiers?"

"Ruthless?"

Zhao Kuan sneered and looked at the old woman, and said: "If there is no General Chu, the eldest princess of the Later Song Dynasty was killed by assassins, and the Later Song Dynasty was furious and sent a large army to attack, and when the city of Du'an is broken and the army hits your Pingyang Mansion, do you want to say that they are ruthless with those Later Song troops who killed you and others to avenge the princess?"

As soon as these words came out, the old woman couldn't react.

But Wu Dangguo took over the conversation and said: "Anyway, this person kills the people as a fact, and he himself admits it." ”

"That's when he saved face for us Daye. ”

Zhao Kuan said angrily: "General, if you were the one who served as the envoy to greet the mission this time, and you met an assassin, would you still be so calm and tell me what to kill the people here?"

Zhao Kuan sneered: "I'm afraid, in order not to have anything to do with the assassins, the general will even do the slaughter of the city......"

"Your Royal Highness, Eldest Prince, you said this, it's a bit too much. ”

Wu Dangguo narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Kuan.

Zhao Kuan also ignored him anymore, and continued to face Zhao Yan and said: "Father, the sons think that General Chu is guilty, but he also has merit, after all, it was he who sacrificed himself to protect the eldest princess of the Later Song Dynasty and maintained the relationship between our Daye and the Later Song Dynasty. ”

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Wu Dangguo looked up and laughed, and said, "Your Royal Highness, the eldest son, the old minister knows that you have a good relationship with General Chu, but you can't ignore the law of the country for the sake of your so-called friendship, right?"

"Ignoring the law of the land?"

Zhao Kuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Dangguodao: "The general still knows the law of the country?"

"The old minister knows the law of the country, and the children of the old minister also know the law of the country. ”

Wu Dangguo sneered and glanced at Chu Yujia, obviously this meant that what kind of father has what kind of son.

But he had forgotten what the two men had done some time ago.

Zhao Kuan waited for him to say this, nodded his head, and said with a smile: "Since the general knows the law of the country, he naturally knows what crime should be committed against oppressing the people?"

"That's nature. ”

"Do you want me to tell the general in detail what the noble prince and the general's other provinces did in Yueling City?"

As soon as he heard this, Wu Dangguo's face changed suddenly, just now because Chu Yujia was too fast and too excited, he forgot about this stubble.

Zhao Kuan was proud and unforgiving, and said: "Don't say anything else, let's just say that in the Yuedu Dart Bureau, how many people were injured by the people brought by your prince in the Yuedu Dart Bureau, and how many were killed?"

"The two are not comparable. ”

Wu Dangguo hurriedly defended and said: "The Yuedu Dart Bureau is just a group of ruffians in the rivers and lakes, and what Chu Yujia killed was the orphan of the heroic family......

"The orphans are the people of Ye Kingdom, so aren't the ruffians in the rivers and lakes?"

Zhao Kuan nodded and said: "No wonder the general is so popular in the army, it turns out that only the soldiers of Ye are the people of Ye State, and the rest are not counted." ”

Not wanting to dwell on this matter, Wu Dangguo diverted the topic and said, "Your Royal Highness, Eldest Prince, please be clear that we are discussing Chu Yujia's matter. ”

"Good ......"

Zhao Kuan turned around and looked at Zhao Yan, and said: "Father, Erchen was idle one day and walked on the street with General Chu, and happened to encounter this Wu Qizhi and Zhang Zhongjiu's bullying of the Yuedu Dart Bureau. ”

"It seems that Erchen is still playing favoritism. ”

Zhao Kuan knelt next to Chu Yujia, his head was also on the ground, and said: "The son is guilty, and he will only go to the harem to listen to punishment after the dispersal of the dynasty, but before that, the case of Zhang Zhongjiu and Wu Qizhi's bullying of the Yuedu Dart Bureau had to be retried by the father." ”

As soon as Zhao Kuan's words fell, Gong Qing, who had not spoken, walked out of the Wenchen train and arched his hand: "King, the old minister thinks that it is true that General Chu is bullying the people, but Zhang and Wu are also oppressing the people, and listening to the meaning of the eldest son, they also caused many casualties among the people, both of which are not small sins, if the king wants to behead General Chu, then these two people will also be beheaded, otherwise, the people of the world will feel that the king is biased towards General Wu......"

Looking at the people standing or kneeling in His Royal Highness, Zhao Yan wanted to laugh a little, but he knew that now was not the time to laugh, so he still deliberately kept a straight face.

Zhao Yan took a deep breath, pretending to look at Wu Dangguo in distress and said, "General Wu, you let Gu say something good about you." ”

Wu Dangguo knelt on the ground with a puff, and secretly said in his heart that it was over.

Today's plan is in vain.

However, Wu Dangguo simply broke the jar and broke it, gritted his teeth and said: "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and since the son of the old minister has broken the law, he should still be punished for the same crime. ”

He obviously kicked the pot to King Ye Zhao Yan again.

The old fox is still the old fox, the old fox that others can't understand.

To put it bluntly, it is Zhao Yan's business to kill or chop Zhao Yan, and it has nothing to do with him in the end.

He doesn't care what the people think, he only thinks about the soldiers in the army.

If King Ye Zhao Yan really killed his child, the generals in the army must think that this old general lost his son in old age, and they will be more sympathetic to him, and they will be disappointed in this King Ye like the Northwest Army did at the beginning.

He just wanted to kill Chu Yujia like he forced Zhao Yan to kill Chu Qianwen three years ago.
