Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
This effect is not only reflected in marching operations, but also in other aspects.
For example, Xi Ru dealt with Kong Rong.
If Xi Lu couldn't pin Kong Rong to death in one go, he would not have a good life in the future.
Xi Lu was very irritated. He understood that the emperor Liu Xie used the "drag" technique.
This drag is extremely useful.
If the emperor were to argue head-on with Xi Lu and others about how good Kong Rong was, he would not only fall into the position prepared by Xi Lu and others and be surrounded and suppressed from all sides, but he would also be unable to save Kong Rong.
Yes, the emperor wanted to protect Kong Rong, but he didn't believe the so-called long list of Kong Rong's crimes.
Xi Liu hoped that he could be convicted on the spot and then behead Kong Rong immediately, or give Bai Lingzhen wine or something. Anyway, as long as Kong Rong died, the coffin would be sealed.
It's a pity that the emperor didn't do this. He just delayed, neither directly arguing with Xi Lu and others, nor saying that he wanted to punish Kong Rong. Anyway, he just wanted to let people continue to investigate thoroughly...
What can be checked?
Kong Rong’s wings?
If Kong Rong really had any wings, could he still be as successful as he is today?
But Xi Liu himself made up such a big crime for Kong Rong, how could Kong Rong handle it alone? So if no "wings" could be found, wouldn't it mean that the crime framed by Xi Liu was false?
But if you really check the wings, wouldn't you offend more people? Kong Rong is a soft persimmon, easy to pinch, but other people may not be as nerdy as Kong Rong. The more people involved, it means there are
A larger network of relationships means more troubles.
If you don't check, you will be embarrassed. And the longer the time goes by, the more incompetent you will appear. In the end, if Kong Rong finds an opportunity, such as the emperor's amnesty or something...
When Xi Liu thought of this, his whole body trembled.
If Kong Rong comes out, he will be the one who goes in!
Xi Liu's face couldn't help but look solemn. This was an adventure and an extremely bold action. If it succeeded, it would be full of rewards. If it failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xi Lu pretended to be calm and went out. He was going to find Lu Cui. Although Xi Lu and Lu Cui didn't have much friendship before, this time they were on the same boat. If they wanted to avoid capsizing, they would
Plans that have been discussed previously must be discussed again in order to find any subtle points that will lead to the failure of the plan.
As the saying goes, the sooner this matter is finalized, the more people can feel at ease.
Lu Cui did not go out to greet Xi Lu, but he did not drive him away. He just sat in the hall and waited for Xi Lu to come in, and then said to Xi Lu: "You don't need to come here."
Xi Lu was silent for a while, "If you stop, you will stop."
Lu Cui looked at Xi Xi for a moment, then exhaled and said, "As it is done, it will be done."
"..." Xi Lu frowned, "Has it changed?"
Lu Cui nodded and said, "An envoy from Jiangdong is coming to Jingzhou and will reach Xu County soon."
"Could it be that Jiangdong wants to pay tribute and seek peace?" Xi Liu said in disbelief.
Lu Cui nodded.
Xi Lu suddenly felt a slight toothache.
Why can't Jiang Dong have some ambition? Just vote now? Why not resist for a while? At least he has endured this period of time, and it won't be too late to vote again after Kong Rong's death!
After all, one of the charges against Kong Rong is that Kong Rong colluded with Jiangdong in Guanzhong to commit evil acts. Now that Jiangdong has surrendered, can Kong Rong still be considered a collusion? Maybe Jiangdong twisted his mouth and said that Kong Rong persuaded him to surrender.
Okay, so fucking meritorious!
As a result, among the charges of conspiracy and treason, it is difficult to establish even the charge of treason...
Xi Lu's face was suddenly filled with the word "sorrow" in capital letters.
Lu Cui closed his eyes on the side.
In fact, Lu Cui was also worried.
After a while, Xi Lu gritted his teeth and said, "If you do it, you should do it!"
"Huh..." Lu Cui was silent for a while, then nodded, "Shan."
The two people looked at each other and seemed to see determination in each other's eyes. Of course, there might also be a hint of helplessness.
"Don't involve too much in the first thing." Xi Lu said in a deep voice.
Lu Cui nodded.
If Kong Rong is really plotting rebellion, then of course Xi Liu, the so-called Yushitai, is not afraid of being involved too much, and is even eager to make it as big as possible. It can even be said that as long as there is a little bit of it,
Really, thinking can blow ten times the bubbles.
But the problem is that before, there was an excuse, namely Jiangdong, but now there is no excuse for this.
Jiangdong previously refused to submit to the jurisdiction of the imperial court and sent troops to the Northern Expedition. Although he later withdrew, this is undoubtedly a point that can be used to make a fuss. But now that Jiangdong has surrendered and the envoys have arrived in Jingzhou, if it happens again and again and again,
They said that Jiang Dong was a traitor, and that contact between Kong Rong and Jiang Dong was rebellion. So what would Jiang Dong think after the envoy came?
Therefore, as long as Jiang Dong really surrendered, the original charge of treason against Kong Rong would be somewhat untenable.
With such an untenable accusation, who else do you want to implicate?
It's not a big problem to target one person or a whole clan, but to target a large area for the crime of Mohu, just like Emperor Xiaowu who used the name of witchcraft and killed nearly 100,000 people. Yes, the witchcraft incident was indeed brought down at that time.
Many people, but in the end, even the arrogant and arrogant Emperor Xiaowu wanted to lower his head to show that he had done something wrong?
Then, what was the final fate of those capable men who "did something wrong" and killed a lot of political enemies for Emperor Xiaowu?
Do Xi Liu or Lu Cui want to end up like this?
So they had to limit the scope to Kong Rong, then remove the original crime of "rebellion", and then choose a new crime and a new direction...
But which direction to choose?
"Unfaithful and unfilial?" Lu Cui said suddenly.
"Unfaithful? Unfilial?" Xi Lu repeated.
The two people looked at each other.
If "disloyalty and unfilial piety" are used as the key crime, then the scope will naturally be narrowed. However, as a descendant of Confucius, Kong Rong has been based on loyalty and filial piety since he was a child. It is not easy to prove his "disloyalty and unfilial piety".
"It's just disloyal and unfilial!" Lu Cui patted the table, "There is no other way!"
Xi Liu nodded, "That's right!"
……┐(T.T)(T.T)ノ……
It's not just Xi Lu and Lu Cui who can only run wildly on the original road without stopping.
There are also Lu Hong and Zhao Da.
While Xi Lu and Lu Cui were still considering how to add more charges to Kong Rong, Lu Hong and Zhao Da had already set off. They went to the State of Lu again to "collect" various criminal information about Kong Rong.
Since the emperor wants to "check carefully", he can't just say nothing, right?
Naturally, it is impossible for the elder to do these trivial tasks by himself, so Lu Hong and Zhao Da naturally become the main personnel. To put it simply, Lu Hong and Zhao Da are the ones who do the work, whether it is clean work or dirty work.
, have to be done.
Xi Lu and Lu Cui had no choice, and Lu Hong and Zhao Da even more had no choice.
Kong Rong, the Kong family, descendants of Confucius. In the name of the Kong family, these people settled in Confucius' hometown, and then engaged in various jobs, from ordinary food, clothing, housing and transportation to elegant literature and art, the Kong family was all there.
It's like a huge family business that controls the local area and affects the county.
So after Lu Hong and Zhao Da arrived, no one, at least the people from the Kong family, didn't give them a good look. It wouldn't be a deliberate violation of orders, but it would definitely be a lack of cooperation, a disobedience, or procrastination.
If they were ordinary people, they would be knocked back by such a soft nail. But what kind of people are Lu Hong and Zhao Da?
They just made an excuse, grabbed two or three chickens, and went to the knife immediately!
This can be considered as scaring some Shandong monkeys.
Of course, Lu Hong and Zhao Da are not stupid. They have no problem killing the chickens, but they can't kill the big monkey. And even if they kill the chicken, they are considered enemies of the big monkey.
After a company has a monopoly, various overlord clauses will appear in an attempt to capture greater profits. After a family takes control of a place, it will naturally appear that it will override the government and replace it with family laws.
State law.
So if we say whether the Kong clan members have committed crimes, they definitely have. There is no doubt about this. Just like if a mobile phone manufacturer implants various advertisements in the mobile phone, or implants an APP that cannot be deleted, does it count as infringement?
When someone checks it, it won’t be there; when someone checks it, it will be there.
The aspect of property rights in China has been very unclear from ancient times to the present.
The land currently in the hometown of Confucius in the State of Lu belongs to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. There is no doubt about this, but it also belongs to the Kong family. However, neither the emperor nor the Kong family will personally cultivate the land here, so
In daily life, this land still belongs to the farmers who rent and cultivate it.
This is like the fact that in later generations, almost everyone has one or even multiple mobile phones. If you think that if you pay for it and use it at home, the mobile phone is considered your own. In fact, you are completely wrong.
Because mobile phone manufacturers can have thousands of reasons to circumvent various regulations, or they can pretend to be crazy and install various software on your mobile phone that cannot be deleted. Mobile phone software vendors also use various methods to stuff advertisements into your mobile phone.
, even Internet search engines that have nothing to do with mobile phones are trying their best to forcefully stuff their software into your mobile phone, not to mention various Trojan viruses...
At this time, someone will inevitably jump out and sympathize with capital. Alas, if you find it troublesome, don’t use it!
Just like the Kong family, or other local squires, they would carelessly tell the farmers, that's all, if you like to plant, then plant, if you like to rent, then rent, if not, get out!
So in this case, will there be any problems?
There must be questions. Lu Hong and Zhao Da collected a lot of questions without much effort.
only……
"These things," Lu Hong patted the table, "Look, there are so many... But it's a pity that these things... are of no use... Well, it can't be said to be completely useless, but it can't be used as a final word...
…』
To put it simply, these evidences can be used to assist in proving the crime, but they cannot be used as the main crime of the accusation.
Rebellion obviously cannot be used because it involves too many things.
And the place of corruption is not easy to use, and it also involves many things...
Didn’t Emperor Liu Xie say everything? Why hasn’t it been discovered for so long? Who contacted Kong Rong, who should bear the responsibility of supervision, what is the source, what is the origin, etc. If this is involved, how can it be done?
Isn’t it endless?
Of those who are officials these days, well, not to mention being officials, even local squires, who talk about building roads and bridges every day, how many of them have clean bottoms?
It’s not that there aren’t any clean ones, it’s that there are too few.
It's really rare to the point where it's akin to a cherished species.
If Emperor Liu Xie had not mentioned these matters, then everyone would have laughed and said that they did not pay more attention, did not pay special attention, did not supervise, etc., and then passed on, but Emperor Liu Xie said so seriously that strict investigation must be carried out
Yan Ban, if you now say that you didn't pay attention at the time, who knows if you will be pulled down and buried with Kong Rong?
In fact, when most feudal officials were arrested, they were first sure that they were down, and then corruption issues, style issues, and various problems were exposed. Before they were arrested, everything was fine, and even
You can talk about other people's problems on stage.
Furthermore, the problems that Lu Hong and Zhao Da found were also shared by squires in other places. This is true for all big families. If these problems are the crimes of the Kong Rong family, does it also represent the other big squires?
Are you charged with the same crime?
Does the emperor still want to ask for local taxes?
Does the imperial court still want local money and food?
"Well..." Zhao Da also scratched his head, "What should we do? We can't just go back like this, right?"
"It can only be Kong Wenju's fault!" Lu Hong rummaged through the table, "Don't involve too much, it's just his problem..."
"Is it for one person?" Zhao Da frowned and said while helping to turn the pages, "I'm afraid it's difficult..."
Sure enough, after checking it again, the two people stared at each other.
"Report!"
Just when the two were helpless, someone came to report that they had found traces of Kong Rong's hidden children.
As long as there is no evidence of guilt, catching the fugitive's family file is considered a success!
Does a family always have to be neat and tidy?
Lu Hong and Zhao Da were overjoyed and immediately went out to arrest Kong Rong's children.
Normally, hiding a few people, or even dozens or hundreds of people, is not a very difficult task for local gentry and big landowners who own a large amount of land, or even contiguous mountains and forests.
Because throughout the dynasties, it was necessary to check the population registration and land registration from time to time. Even if the court checked every few years, it was still often unable to find out the land and population hidden by the landowners, even if the land and population were clearly visible.
It's there, but I can't find it!
Wouldn't it be difficult to use this large-scale magic technique to hide two half-grown children?
Well, it's so strange that the two children Kong Rong "entrusted" to his "close friends" were "accidentally" discovered!
An even weirder thing happened. When Lu Hong and Zhao Da started dispatching with their troops, no one went to report the news. No one notified these two children!
There was no one to cover him, or he ran away with the child...
The children Kong Rong entrusted to his "confidant friends" were a boy and a girl, the older one was a boy and the younger one was a girl.
Trusting your wife is the greatest trust in others.
But the problem is that not all trust can be rewarded in a positive way like Guan Erye.
Kong Rong concealed the criminals wanted by the government and hid them. Even when he was arrested, he did not flinch, even risking his own life or that of his elder brother. Because Kong Rong felt that he had to do this, and now he felt that he
It was hard to save, so when faced with his children, he hastily arranged the eldest daughter's marriage, and then sent the younger daughter and son to a friend's place.
He thought his friend was a good enough friend, but he didn't expect that his friend was a dog friend.
A married daughter is someone else's daughter-in-law. Although saying this may make some female boxers feel uncomfortable, it is also true that after Kong Rong was imprisoned, even people like Lu Hong and Zhao Da never thought about it.
They were looking for trouble for the married daughter of the Kong family, but they were just here to capture the hidden daughter and son of the Kong family.
Kong Rong's two children were in a remote small manor outside the city.
"It's been two days..." the older boy said with some worry, walking back and forth in the hall, "There's been no news for two days..."
The younger girl seemed more calm than the boy, "Second brother, there's no need to wait, no one will come. Most of the people who come will not be the ones we are waiting for."
The boy stopped and said with a pale face: "Little sister, what do you mean?"
The little girl said like a brat: "Do you remember what he said when he came here a few days ago?"
"Last time?" the boy asked, "What did you say?"
The little girl sat on one side, folded her hands in front of her, and said solemnly, "He asked us, "What's the point of my father clinging to me and refusing to rise?""
"I answered him, "The nest is destroyed but the eggs are not broken!" Have you forgotten?" The girl sat there, like a small flower bud, with a clear voice, but with an extraordinary tone.
He is calm and intelligent, even adults may not be able to compare with him.
"This..." The boy is obviously not as smart as the little girl. He is a little slow and doesn't know what this question and answer means.
The little girl glanced at the boy, and then continued to say in a slightly cold voice, "He is driving us away, can't you hear it?"
"What can't you hear?" the boy continued to ask.
The little girl was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay as long as you know. There's no need to ask why. So he won't come again."
The two people were talking when they heard a burst of noise.
The boy jumped up and asked, "Is your father back? Or is your uncle here?"
The little girl sat there and sighed slightly, "Go and clean up...forget it, I guess there's no need to clean up..."
Lu Hong and Zhao Da rushed straight into the village and looked up to see two children in the hall.
"Are they the children of Kong Wenju in front of you?" Lu Hong looked at the two children and tried his best to show a hint of kindness on his face, "A certain person is a friend of Brother Wenju... and was entrusted by Brother Wenju..."
"You are not my father's friend..." The girl stood up and said, "Since you are arresting me, why are you pretending? Are you bullying me for being young? Needless to say, when are you going to leave?"
Lu Hong was stunned. After a while, he stretched out his hand and said, "You can do it now. Please."
The little girl walked up to the somewhat dull boy and pulled him, "Second brother, let's go."
