"You can't live for your own misfortune..." Among the crowd, Shi Fen lowered his head and sighed in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to win over Huainan.
But now it seems that King Huainan himself has pushed himself into the abyss.
Shi Fen no longer had the idea of helping Liu Rong.
Because no one can save such a vassal king who is unfilial to his father, unfriendly to his brothers, and commits all kinds of evil. No one, not even Shi Fen, is willing to save him.
What's even more frightening is that in Shi Fen's eyes, Liu Rong's current words actually made all the listeners sit back and watch as he was truly accused of being 'disobedient and unfilial, having no regard for the king's laws, blaspheming the king and father, and cursing the emperor'.
The reason is simple.
What Liu Rong did in the past, few people present had seen with their own eyes.
Everything is retelling and exaggeration by others, so the impression created is just that, and the feeling is not profound.
But now, Liu Rong was in public, in full view, in front of the clan princes, elders, ministers and relatives and ministers, roaring in the palace, insulting King Lu, and even uncovering King Lu's scars very sinisterly and viciously.
Can a person who viciously insults and curses his younger brother be a good older brother?
the answer is negative.
The traditional Zhu Xia view of good and evil has always been emotional.
Usually, when local officials decide a case, they will choose to favor a good person or a gentleman recognized by the public, and ruthlessly sentence a villain or a profiteer in the public opinion to be guilty.
This moral judgment method has always been the main way for local officials, especially grassroots local officials, to freely interpret cases.
Generally speaking, as long as it can be proven that someone is a bad guy, then the lawsuit can basically be won.
Because, for the society of the Zhuxia people, law is a tool to maintain social order and public order and good customs.
Even legalists have to admit that punishment is only to lead people to do good.
Therefore, it is impossible for the law to punish a good person and protect a bad person.
Once you are proven to be a bad guy, all the accusations against you will be established.
That’s why revanchism is so popular and prosperous in today’s society.
It is almost natural for a son to avenge his father.
Liu Rong is so unwise now, which means he has cut off his own way of survival.
Even Liu Rong himself panicked after exiting the room.
He is not stupid, so he knows that he did something stupid.
Therefore, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed madly to Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Dowager Bo, and said: "I am guilty, and I will die. Please atone for your sins..."
"I spoke out in a hurry...it is really King Lu who slandered Sun Chen too much..." As if to make excuses for himself, he panicked and did not even apologize to Liu Duan.
And this is undoubtedly fatal!
Suffering from this great humiliation and having his scars opened for no reason, King Liu Duan of Lu instantly transformed into a vengeful demon.
He turned his head and looked at Liu Rong fiercely, almost swallowing Liu Rong in one gulp.
"King Huainan, why don't you apologize to King Lu quickly?" Liu Che stood up with an angry look on his face. Liu Rong's behavior did Liu Che a big favor, and Liu Duan's last strike surprised Liu Che even more.
I originally thought that to achieve this step, I still need to be 'persuasive', but now it seems that Liu Rong has really angered too many people.
Liu Rong's behavior also gave Liu Che a reason and opportunity to get angry.
He held the ribbon and looked at Liu Duan with a gentle face. He had always had some sympathy for this younger brother.
In fact, Liu Duan is not a bad person.
On the surface, he appears to be cynical, vicious, and full of tricks.
Even now, the scholar-bureaucrats, landowners and nobles of Lu State are already so excited that he is playing with them, and they are in tears.
Two years after joining the country, there were already hundreds of nobles and officials in the Lu Kingdom. He reported them to the Tingwei, and they are all still in prison!
The dignified King Lu actually ran errands for Tingwei and acted as the second Tingwei.
Liu Duan even proclaimed himself the "Commander of the Embroidered Clothes Guards of the State of Lu".
It's a bit humorous when you think about it.
Naturally, the scholar-bureaucrats and nobles had an indescribably bad impression of Liu Duan, and they used all kinds of slanderous and offensive jokes to smear him from head to toe.
But the people of Lu State liked this king very much.
Liu Che naturally knew that Liu Duan actually had no interest in being a wise king or a good person.
All his current behavior is actually to vent and attract other people's attention.
Speaking of which, you may not believe it, but all the evidence Liu Duan used to accuse the scholar-officials, nobles and bureaucrats was given to him by the scholar-officials, nobles and bureaucrats themselves.
The methods he used were actually not many, just a few.
It's just that when you see an official, you immediately smile with a smile on your face, acting like a courteous corporal, and then give him money, a house, and a sister, making him burst into tears of gratitude, thinking that he has met a wise master, and then pouring out his heart.
Lung, told him everything.
Liu Duan turned around and sold this guy and sent him to Tingwei for tea...
Then, the money, property, and women given to this man were doubled back to his hands...
Or you can use a bait, such as a certain lucrative position, to attract bureaucrats to fall into the trap and give them money.
Then, these scumbags were taken away by Tingwei with conclusive evidence...
Although these routines are simple, they have endless magical effects. For simple scholar-officials and nobles, they are simply impossible to guard against.
Even though everyone knows that King Lu is a trap, there is still an endless stream of people jumping into the trap.
After all, this is human nature.
Of course, sometimes with Liu Duan, he does take it seriously.
It is related to the appointment of many capable and skillful officials.
But in Liu Duan's eyes, all these behaviors are actually just a game.
It's just a game to entertain life and pass the time.
The ending is not important, what is important is the process. Whoever can make him happy, satisfied and happy will win.
Loser, sorry, please go to Tingwei.
Liu Che has been paying attention to Liu Duan and exerting some influence to guide his younger brother to face his life more positively and optimistically.
In fact, Liu Che had already made a plan for Liu Duan.
Let him become a memorial arch showing his kindness and foresight, tolerance and forgiveness.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I do not need Huainan's apology, nor will I accept Huainan's apology!" How could Liu Duan let Liu Rong go after his scars were revealed? Now in Liu Duan's entire world, there is only one goal -
—Fuck Liu Rong to death.
If Liu Rong doesn't die, he will feel uncomfortable all over.
His hatred for Liu Rong has even become his strength.
He looked at Liu Rong ferociously, then took out a silk book from his arms, knelt on the ground, presented it in his hand, and said, "Because I have real evidence to prove that all my accusations against Huainan are true!
"
He held up the silk document and said: "This minister has collected the record of confirming Huainan's crimes!"
Then, he opened the silk book regardless and read loudly: "In the sixth year of Yuan De, Huainan secretly dug up palace walls and occupied the land of the former emperor's ancestral temple. The prime minister and Taifu blocked it, and the king privately went to the palace with
The left and right people discussed: "I am the king of Xiangshi, how can the world be like this?" The eunuch of the King of Huainan ordered to report: "First, the king dug the palace wall, and the ministers saw the soil of the palace palace. There was Ganoderma lucidum coming out, and there was a word on it, saying: "Growth is the most noble."
This day, the king is ordered to rule the world the next day!"
"Another sycophant said: The king is the eldest son of the late emperor, and the ancestral temple is very important. The next day, if there is a change in Chang'an, and the palace chariots are driven away, the princes and ministers will respectfully welcome the king to take over the country..."
"The king was overjoyed when he heard that he ordered his eunuchs to engrave seals privately, make dragon robes, and make the left banner of the Yellow House, and call for police when he comes in and out..."
These things are vividly described by Liu Duan, making people immersed in the situation.
Naturally, with Liu Duan's ability, it was impossible for him to come into contact with such secretive things happening in the palace of the Huainan King.
Liu Rong also discovered this and immediately retorted: "Slander! Slander! Your Majesty, the King of Lu is three thousand miles away from my country. How can he know what is going on in my palace? It must be a frame-up!"
He could only seize this point to refute.
But unfortunately, Liu Duan smiled slightly and said: "Whether it is a slander, your Majesty, please send an envoy to the Shouchun Palace in Huainan, and you can find out if you search it?"
"The dragon robe, the seal, the left scroll of the Yellow House, these things can never be hidden too secretly..."
Liu Rong was sweating profusely and trembling.
He didn't hide these things at all!
Instead, they were displayed generously in the palace. He would often wear the Emperor's crown and ride around the palace on the left side of the yellow room with the seal. He would even make his eunuchs and ministers kneel on the ground.
Saying long live, playing cosplay emperor.
This would be nothing in future generations, but today, it is the death penalty for losing one's head!
Liu Duan did not give Liu Rong time to think and consider, and continued: "In addition, King Huainan has been in the palace for a long time, hiding a large number of witches and magicians, and secretly using witchcraft to curse people.
The emperor, empress, princes and princesses all have a large number of paper figures, peach trees, and poisonous insects hidden in their palaces..."
"These are also things that can be known through a search..."
Following Liu Duan's revelation, not only the ministers were talking about it, but also the clan and princes were looking at him with suspicion.
Even Queen Mother Dou and Queen Mother Bo looked at each other.
Many people were shocked as if they were discovering Liu Rong's true face for the first time.
Especially the two queen mothers could not believe their eyes.
"King Lu, are you telling the truth?" Queen Mother Dou stood up and asked, her voice trembling a little.
If everything is true, then Liu's family will really have a huge scandal.
A vassal king, the eldest son of a clan, was not only unfilial and disobedient, but also used witchcraft to curse people.
If confirmed, it would be even more serious than the Wu-Chu rebellion.
At least, Wu Chu's rebellion was fought openly and openly, raising the flag of rebellion.
However, what Liu Rong did was despicable and was not tolerated by human ethics and etiquette.
According to Han law, among these crimes, Liu Rong would be punished by being cut in half for even just sitting back and watching.
If everything is true, then...
"I dare to guarantee it with the head on my neck!" Liu Duan bowed and bowed: "These are the evidences provided to me in private by some righteous people in the palace of King Huainan who witnessed King Huainan's cruelty and cruelty...
I have also seen with my own eyes the witchcraft weapon they brought out..."
Following Liu Duan's words, Liu Rong's whole person shrank.
Because he knew that he had indeed done these things.
As long as there are envoys from the imperial court to investigate, they will definitely be able to find out.
He has no way to deny it, and it is useless to quibble.
But he has one last trump card.
Liu Che, however, looked like he was waking up from a dream. He looked at Liu Rong with a look of disbelief and asked: "King Huainan... is what King Lu said true?"
Everyone looked carefully. There was a look of disbelief and disbelief on the emperor's face, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes.
The preparations made over the past few years are now coming to fruition.
Countless people remembered that no matter which minister impeached Liu Rong in the past, the final result was to remain in China.
There are even rumors that the emperor refused to access and censor any cartridges related to Huainan.
Even the year before last, Huainan invaded and occupied the Renzong temple grounds, and was impeached by countless people, but the emperor insisted on his own way and said: Huainan is my eldest brother and the late emperor's eldest son. I cannot bear to impose the law on the king, and your ministers should not discuss it.
Your Majesty cares about Huainan so much that every year on Huainan’s birthday, he sends envoys to give money and gifts, and even protects Huainan in every possible way.
But this is how King Huainan repays the emperor!
It is unbearable!
Even several veteran ministers who had originally planned to give Liu Rong a hand were silent now.
Liu Rong is already a cesspit. For normal people, the only choice is to stay away from him.
Only a few princes and kings now feel cold in their hearts, and even their hearts are trembling.
For example, King Liu Yu of Huaiyang was holding a silk book in his sleeve, and his fingers were trembling.
Because the content of the silk book in his sleeve is consistent with the content of King Lu's silk book.
Even the source is the same - a righteous person from the Huainan Kingdom provided these evidences to him.
Originally, Liu Yu thought it was his moral inspiration and character aura.
Now it seems……
The human traces are too serious!
But he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to say it to anyone.
He had made up his mind to burn everything when he returned and take this secret with him to the grave.
Because he has understood that today, his king, who seems to be a friendly brother, is a devil in human skin!
No!
He is the devil himself!
But other uninformed people have no idea.
Everyone's eyes were filled with tears. They were so moved that they could have such a father-in-law and an eldest brother.
In such an atmosphere, Liu Rong finally lowered his head. He already understood that his only way to survive now was his identity.
He is the eldest son of the late emperor, and he is also the eldest brother from the same birth and the same mother.
In terms of etiquette and law, it is impossible for a person who is a younger brother to kill his own brother.
This is also his last amulet.
Therefore, he lay down on the ground, took off his hat and apologized, kowtowed and said: "I deserve death for my sin! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
As he said this, he began to sob: "I hope your majesty will give you a lighter sentence because I lost my mother at a young age and am arrogant and ignorant..."
In his opinion, he now has two amulets. The first is that he is the eldest brother, Liu De dare not kill him directly, and he will be imprisoned at most, and the second is that Concubine Su died inexplicably.
But he forgot one thing...
In his eyes, Concubine Su's death was unclear, but in the eyes of others, this was not the case.
Especially in the eyes of the two Queen Mothers, this is not the case.
