Chapter 371 To kill or not to kill?
Since entering the palace, Liu Feng's performance has always been in the eyes of Emperor Liu. After a few brief words, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but wonder whether this person was so stupid or was deliberately acting so unbearable to survive, so as to reduce his vigilance.
When observing people, employing people is one of the most important skills for an emperor. After years of imperial career, Liu Chengyou's ability to recognize people has become more and more proficient. However, he was really hesitant about Liu Feng at this time.
His sharp eyes could almost penetrate Liu Feng's chest and penetrate into his heart. He did not dare to look at him at all. He shrank and buried his head. After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou asked: "You have been calling a criminal minister, do you know what crime you have committed? I want to listen to your statement!"
Faced with the question from Emperor Han, Liu Feng was stunned again, with a little confusion flashing in his eyes, but he did not dare not answer. After thinking about it, he said: "The criminal minister once surpassed the emperor and criticized him, and sent troops to resist, causing casualties to the soldiers..."
"That's all?" Liu Chengyou's eyebrows slanted.
At this time, Liu Qing was obviously too nervous. In the deep winter, even if the palace was warmer, he would not sweat profusely. However, Liu Qing was just like this. His face turned red and his expression was unstable. He was struggling for a long time and kowtowed in a crying voice: "I don't know the crime, the crime, the crime, the crime! I beg your Majesty to teach you a lesson!"
"Have you ever read the Pingnan edict that I surrendered?" Liu Chengyou asked indifferently.
Liu Feng's voice subconsciously lowered a little, but he still didn't dare to look up and said, "Your Majesty forgive me, I haven't seen it yet!"
"Ha!" Seeing his performance, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but lose his composure and scolded: "What have you been doing for so long?"
From the change of Emperor Han's tone, Liu Qing realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing again and was wandering a little. Liu Qing cried and said with a sad face: "The criminals only play in the palace. The military and national affairs are handled by Fan Huzi, Gong Chengshu and others. The criminals, the criminals..."
"It's also a pity that you can say it!" Seeing him stammering, Liu Chengyou sternly said: "Appointing witches and officials to harm the country and the government. Isn't this your sin?"
Liu Feng was shocked and even more frightened.
Liu Chengyou felt unhappy and asked: "At the beginning of his succession, he killed all his brothers, and his flesh and blood were destroyed, and he was so vicious. Isn't this a sin?"
Liu Feng said: "This is what Gong Chengshu and the others said, my father also cut off his brothers. I should follow this to prevent the brothers from seizing power and endangering the country..."
"Fart!" Emperor Liu was particularly angry about this, and cursed with a slander: "You can't tell the slander of such villains at all? Everyone has a spirit, and even if you are the heart of wood and stone, you can't do such cruel and unfamiliar behavior like you! Where did you have the face? With your family, country, and country, your evil and greed, cruel and cruel as a guise?"
"Isn't this a sin to build a palace, and to use the hard work and sweat of the people in Lingnan to enjoy you, so that the scholars and people in Lingnan have complained.
"Isn't it a sin to be close to villains, to stay away from wise ministers, to be suspicious of heroes, and to poison generals?"
"Isn't it a sin to use absurd selfish thoughts, abuse evil orders, corrupt discipline, and place eunuchs, and insult all their courtesy?"
“…”
Faced with Emperor Liu's severe questioning and condemnation, Liu Feng became more and more frightened. He could clearly feel bad from the tone of Emperor Han. He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, these are all taught by Gong Chengshu and the others. I only want to enjoy myself and do not intend to do evil!"
After hearing his defense, Liu Chengyou continued to rebuke: "If you are wise, how can you be a servant of a villain? Do you think that if you blame all your fault on Wu Guan, you can reduce your own guilt?"
"Your Majesty, I know my guilt! Please forgive me! I hope to forgive me! I will never dare to do it again!" Liu Feng started crying again. Emperor Liu's words were as sharp as a knife, as if a cold light invaded his muscles, making him feel dangerous.
Emperor Liu vented his anger, and the breath in his chest dissipated a little, calmed down and looked at Liu Qing again. This time, he really thought about how to deal with this person. He probably realized that Liu Qing walked forward two steps, looked at Emperor Liu with tears in his eyes, his face full of desire to survive.
For Liu Chengyou, Liu Feng is actually insignificant, and he is not as angry as he shows on the surface. The reason why he is so indignant is a political show. Such a tyrant and tyrant who abuses the power and democracy must of course be severely criticized to demonstrate his kingly justice.
Just as Emperor Liu considered back then, he was actually happy with the stupidity, cruelty and incompetence of these separatist monarchs. Otherwise, if they were all virtuous and loved the people and gave full grace, how could they set off the Han emperor, and how could they reduce the resistance of the Han court to slash separatist?
As a relatively self-disciplined emperor, Liu Chengyou was actually disliked Liu Hui, and he would not feel pity because of his young age. Even if Liu Hui was so aggrieved and cried so sadly, he did not have much fluctuations in his heart.
However, there was still a little hesitation in his heart how to deal with him. Kill, but not kill.
The index finger gently tapped the imperial desk, and the clear sound rang in Liu Yu's heart at a slow rhythm. After thinking for a while, Liu Chengyou turned his head and asked Lu Yin: "Yu Qing, what do you think I should deal with Liu Yu!"
After hearing the question, Lu Yin had no abnormality on his face. After a little consideration, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Yuyong is cowardly and unruly. With his talent, he is not appropriate to manage his family, and even more so in governing the country. He inherited the throne with his eldest son, and was not allowed to change his affairs. He was influenced by a small group of people. He was confused by a witch and entrusted state affairs to eunuchs, and was a licentious and cruel act..."
Liu Chengyou listened to Lu Yin's words, the more he heard it, the more he was, he interrupted him, and asked, "Are you defending Liu Qing?"
Lu Yin reacted calmly and calmly, bowed and said, "I dare not. Your Majesty asks me, but I dare not speak in my heart. I only say my opinion. I think that Liu Yu is incompetent and his crimes are not light, but if the crime of chaos and destruction of the country is indecent, it is also unfair.
After all, he was once the lord of a country and is now captured by the king's army. He was detained and confessed to the imperial court. He was obedient and earnest. I think that Your Majesty can punish the great commandments of the world, which is enough to show the world!"
"Yes! Yes, Yes!" Seeing someone talking for him, Liu Feng was excited and quickly echoed: "Your Majesty, I know that I am wrong and am willing to atone for my sins. I only ask Your Majesty to spare me one life."
He looked at Lu Yin with a little surprise. He had absolutely no interest in dealing with Liu Yu. He was also a shrewd and knowledgeable person. However, he spoke for Liu Yu.
After recalling Lu Yin's words, Liu Chengyou gained something and understood Lu Yin's considerations. This is probably a question of value orientation, and it also means being taboo for the respected person. The key is that Liu Yu was the lord of a country after all. Just like Zhuangzong's loss of the country, he could blame the actors for saying that they confuse the king and disrupt the country. Now Liu Yu is the same, and it can also be said to be deceived by witches and officials, so he made those immoral actions. Furthermore, with Emperor Liu's "pleasant treatment" of these devastating kings and ministers in history, it seems that there is no need to specifically punish Liu Yu for being punished.
If you stand in the position of a monarch, this is not difficult to understand or accept. Even Emperor Liu thought from this that if he made any omissions or did something wrong, and the subjects of the world naturally put the blame on the people around him, would he accept it or not?
Now when Emperor Liu considers affairs, he often easily connects himself with himself, considers it more and repeatedly ponders. After thinking about it this way, he gradually became aware of it and looked at Shi Yande: "Shi Qing, have the witches and officials who manipulate the national affairs of Guangdong escort to Tokyo together this time?"
"Return to Your Majesty, twenty people including Gong Chengshu, Fan Huzi, Lu Qiongxian, etc. who were hated by the people of Guangdong Province, were all detained and returned to Beijing!" Shi Yande was not interested in how to deal with Liu Feng. The emperor asked, and he answered.
"Transfer an imperial edict to abandon this person!" Liu Chengyou said, looking at Liu Feng: "You are here to watch the execution!"
"Thank you Your Majesty!" After hearing this, Liu Feng was not surprised but happy and hurriedly thanked him. Emperor Liu said this, obviously he did not intend to take his life.
"Don't be busy thanking you!" Liu Chengyou said, "I will not make any decision on your life!"
