Chapter 1,410 You can choose between life and death
Liu Yu's words were like a basin of cold water pouring down from his head. Sima Yao, who was originally like a volcanic eruption, was stunned for a moment. He sat back on the bed feebly. After a long time, he sighed: "Yes, I do.
There is nothing we can do against these wealthy families. I originally thought that people like you could be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, help me regain the land and wipe out the noble families, but I still misjudged it. You actually colluded with the barbarians and collaborated with the enemy and treason. Even now, you still have to do it.
Putting these crimes on the aristocratic family, huh, although they are authoritarian, they also know that only the Jin Dynasty can maintain their interests. If the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, how can they maintain their wealth?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Then what motive does the ordinary people have to rebel against the country? The aristocratic families have wealth and honor, but the ordinary people don't even have wealth. Only the country, and only your Majesty can give me this."
Sima Yao sneered: "In the Jin Dynasty, even if you are a world-famous hero, you are just a middle-level officer. But if you rebel against the Jin Dynasty and join the Yan State, you can become the prince-in-law and enjoy all the glory. You and Wang Miaoyin
We have been engaged for a long time, but even if we marry her, he is just the son-in-law of a high-ranking family, and his status is still far different from that of a consort. You said that you and Murong Lan only fell in love through life and death, then you and your fiancée Miaoyin,
Don’t you have any true feelings?”
【.】 Liu Yu sighed: "Emotional matters cannot be explained clearly. If Murong Lan had not committed herself to me to save me when I was between life and death, I don't think I would have been with her in this life.
Miaoyin is the woman I am engaged to, and she is also the first woman I have ever loved deeply. If not for fate, she and I would have been married. However, I do not regret the result now. I must be responsible for Murong Lan.
, the harm done to Miaoyin can only be repaid in the next life."
Sima Yao said in a deep voice: "I'm not interested in knowing these adulterous things of yours. I just want to know who is the traitor in your mouth? If you can't tell, then you are talking nonsense and want to do something for someone.
If you absolve yourself, I won't be fooled by you."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Your Majesty, don't know too much about some things, it will not be good for you. Common people are soldiers, and they know a basic art of war. Before you have no strength to destroy your enemy in one fell swoop, you should finally
It's so hard to bear it. Since you don't have the power to wipe out the world's famous families, what can you do even if you know that someone is treason? What I say here is unfounded. You have no evidence to eliminate him. Even if there is evidence, you have enough troops to fight against these people.
A guy who can cover the sky with one hand?"
Sima Yao began to sweat on his head. Liu Yu's words touched his sore spot. He rolled his sleeves bitterly: "I don't believe it. All the aristocratic families are unfaithful and unjust. If you really have evidence of a traitor,
As long as it is announced, the vast majority of aristocratic families will stand on the side of Da Jin, I am confident in this!"
Liu Yu sighed: "Your Majesty, if the common people had enough evidence, they would have exposed this person when he was in Wuqiaoze, Yecheng. Moreover, behind this person is not just one person, but a huge conspiracy group. The entire Jin Dynasty
The lifeblood, from military and state matters to His Majesty's harem, is under his control. It's not that the common people deliberately concealed it from His Majesty, but that you really don't have the power to deal with them now. If you really want to listen to what the common people have to say, then
The common people have only one thing to say, please put the century-old foundation of the Jin Dynasty first, shake hands with the King of Kuaiji and make peace, and never engage in quarrels with the same people. Only in this way is the best response to this traitor!"
Sima Yao said in a deep voice: "How can I allow you to talk about such a major military and national matter? You don't need to change the subject, just tell me who the traitor is, and I will naturally find out."
Liu Yu shook his head: "The traitor's men may have been among the personal guards around your majesty for a long time. They know every move you make. Your majesty, listen to the common people and don't go to war with King Kuaiji. Otherwise, no matter who wins in the end,
, all have the same results as losers!”
Sima Yao's eyes widened: "I don't believe it, I don't believe there are still people who dare to kill the king and usurp the throne!"
Liu Yu said calmly: "Your Majesty, blind confidence is useless. You can think about it. Since the Jin Dynasty moved south, how many of the many late emperors died a good death? How many of them were not supported by the hands?
There are no soldiers, many guards around you are untrustworthy, and every move is under the control of others. How can we truly pacify the world? Therefore, some things are better not to know than to know. The common people are loyal, but to the sun and the moon, as long as your majesty trusts you
The common people, the common people will definitely be able to control the army and eliminate traitors for Your Majesty. By then, Your Majesty will naturally know who is loyal and who is traitor?!"
Sima Yao felt sad for a long time and shook his head: "Liu Yu, maybe you are right. I also believe that as a hero in the Battle of Feishui, you will not really surrender to the enemy and treason. However, the state has national laws and the family has family rules.
I cannot let you be pardoned like this, because after all, this is a serious crime of collaboration with the enemy and treason. Since you are unwilling to defend yourself and point out the real traitor, then I can only leave your fate to the judgment of God. Do you have any objections?
?”
Liu Yu nodded: "The common people are willing to accept any punishment from your Majesty without any complaints."
Sima Yao said coldly: "Then I will give you two options. The first one is that I will pardon you based on your past achievements, but I will never let you join the army or become an official again, and the Jin Dynasty will not be able to keep you.
, you take my family, brothers, and leave Dajin. Where to go is your business. If we meet on the battlefield one day in the future, you will be our enemy of Dajin, and we will have no regrets about life or death!"
Liu Yu shook his head: "This first way is tantamount to me admitting that I am a traitor. It seems that I have saved my life, but I will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever. I, Liu Yu, stand upright, how can I bear this responsibility just to survive?"
A stigma? Your Majesty, ordinary people will never choose this path even if they die."
Sima Yao curled up his lips: "As expected, you would rather die than admit that you are a traitor. I did not misjudge you, but I must punish you according to the law of the country. Now I cannot make the world believe in your innocence.
, So, you only have to prove it yourself, your fate is determined by God, Liu Yu, if I want you to go to the fighting ring or the horse show, fight three times in a row, if you die, it means that what you told is a lie. If you live,
It means you are telling the truth, are you willing?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Is it the horse show in Pengcheng? The industry run by the Diao family?"
Sima Yao nodded: "Yes, that's the one. Nowadays, scholars and common people in the Jin Dynasty believe that the fate of people here is controlled by God. Only if you fight out of here can the world be convinced."
Liu Yu looked determined and nodded vigorously: "Then I will enter the stage and let God decide my fate."
