Chapter 5259 Good and evil will be rewarded eventually
At this point, Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly, and he waved his hand vigorously: "Then the question is, is my order, which resulted in the execution of all three thousand nobles of the Murong family, wrong?
?These people did not directly participate in the black robe's rebellion, does it mean that they are innocent and not guilty?"
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "After all, they did not participate in the rebellion of Murong Chui and Murong Chao, nor did they directly assassinate you. Strictly speaking, those who surrendered and laid down their weapons cannot be executed again, especially if they have not
When the crime is clear."
Liu Yu said coldly: "Then let's talk about this truth and just pretend that we are debating this matter in the political affairs hall. For example, now that you are a supervisory committee member or even an elder of the political affairs hall, you think Liu Yu killed someone
For three thousand Xianbei nobles who laid down their arms and surrendered, it is against the law and unbenevolent, so I should be stripped of my official position, asked to hand over military power and political power, and be disarmed and return to my hometown, right?"
Liu Jingxuan smiled slightly: "If there really is a political hall, then Liu Xile will definitely impeach you like this, and those officials from the aristocratic families should also agree, so Jinu, you'd better rehearse this matter first, because in the future during the Northern Expedition,
Such a situation is also possible.”
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, such a situation will inevitably occur. If I destroy the Later Qin Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty of the Tuoba clan, I will kill as many of their clans as possible. Therefore, we
You can rehearse in advance how I will defend myself as a precaution."
Liu Jingxuan's expression changed: "Are you serious? Do you really want to kill all the clans and nobles of the Hu people's country like this? This is different from what you have always said about benevolence, justice and caring for the people."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Listen to me slowly. Let's start with Nan Yan. First of all, are these people, including Murong Chui and Murong Chao, sincere in surrendering to me and the Jin Dynasty?"
Liu Jingxuan shook his head: "Obviously not. Guanggu surrounded us for a year and attacked us for a year. Even if he finally surrendered, it was because Murong Chui opened the city to fight with us and lost. The reason why he surrendered was because he had exhausted all his strength at most.
Surrender, let alone surrender from the beginning."
Liu Yu nodded: "That's it. If you can't fight, you have to surrender. This year has caused the loss of tens of thousands of our soldiers. It has caused the land of Qingzhou to be mired in war for more than a year. It cannot be pacified, and it has caused dozens of casualties."
Thousands of people died for this. Shouldn’t all of them be punished for such a crime?”
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "We in the Jin Dynasty, we Han people have laws after all, and we must be benevolent and righteous. You either didn't accept their surrender at that time, directly attacked Guanggu, and then massacred the city. This is okay, but you
After accepting their surrender, he killed the other surrenderers just because of Murong Chui and Murong Chao's rebellion. This was against the law, and by setting a precedent, other barbarians would desperately resist in the future.
If we consider surrender, won't it cause greater losses to our army?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "Theoretically speaking, this statement is true, but you overlooked one point, that is, the reason why I accepted their surrender is not to say that I was unable to attack the city or capture Guanggu. They defended it for a year
, food and grass were exhausted, and people even started to eat each other, and the decisive battle in Kaicheng was their last struggle. Although our army lost tens of thousands of horses in this battle, the main force of the Yan army of 100,000 in the city was completely destroyed.
In particular, almost all of the armor and cavalry were lost. Even Murong Chui was completely defeated in the head-on confrontation with me. He was seriously injured and could no longer harm anyone. Therefore, I want to say that he is
Isn't it okay to beg for surrender before I attack the city and completely capture Guanggu?"
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "It's indeed no problem, and if it weren't for Murong Lan, you wouldn't agree to this begging for surrender. So, you actually want to attack the city and kill all the Murong nobles?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "Yes, when I destroyed Nanyan, I had already thought about it. I must kill all the Murong clan, including the leaders of the tribes who followed them, because these barbarian leaders are capricious and strong.
Weakness leads to rebellion, whether it is Fu Jian or the previous Western Jin Dynasty, these are bloody lessons, because the Hu people may still be transformed into us Han farmers, but these Hu leaders, especially the Murong clan, regardless of their ability,
That kind of ambition to be independent is irresistible, not to mention other races and other rulers, even within them, the kings are fighting for that throne!"
Liu Jingxuan laughed: "Then if you say this, it also applies to the Sima family. From the Eight Kings Rebellion to the Changdao War, no matter how powerful or small they are, they all want to seize the throne and power, and in the end they will bring disaster to the world. This kind of thing
I keep repeating it, shouldn’t the Sima clan be finally eliminated?”
Liu Yu said calmly: "Since I have chosen to take the road of emperor, I have thought about it. When I replace the Sima family in the future, I will have to mention these old things again. This is also to increase my legitimacy when I ascend the throne, and to mobilize troops to eliminate
Violence, the right to defeat the unjust, is a saying accepted by everyone in the world now. However, before I am fully prepared, I still want to keep Sima Dezong in office as the co-lord of the world."
Liu Jingxuan said sternly: "So, you just want the Sima family to be in power temporarily and help you give orders. With their legal status, no one can oppose you. Once you make great achievements and the time is right, you will be like
Are the Sima clan also going to be killed?"
A murderous look appeared in Liu Yu's eyes: "Yes, they need to be responsible for the harm the Sima family has brought to the world for hundreds of years and for so many innocent people who died because of them. This is the reason why I have kept them, good and evil
There will be retribution in the end, it's not that we won't get retribution, the time has not yet come, this is the same for the Sima family and the Murong family."
At this point, Liu Yu curled up his lips: "Let's not talk about the Sima clan for the time being, let's talk about the Murong clan. They have actually brought trouble to the world countless times over the past century, and have proven countless times that their clan nobles are extremely powerful.
The ambitious ones have no regard for the life and death of the people in the world, and will risk everything for their own power. Including the Guanggu War, they wanted to protect their own power and interests and would rather die than surrender. You must know that ordinary Han people and soldiers, even
Many Xianbei people kept leaving the city to surrender. Only these nobles were stubborn to the end, thinking that they could make a comeback by following the black robes. They finally surrendered because they wanted to save their lives after exhausting their efforts. If they had another chance,
They will definitely rebel again, this is what Fu Jian of the Western Jin Dynasty proved with his life and the destruction of his country!" (End of Chapter)
