    "Master Marquis, our people have made a major discovery. Kong Rong will not be able to escape the blame this time." Xu Shu hurriedly came to Lu Rui with a piece of information.  "Yuan Zhi, don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what did Kong Rong commit?" Lu Rui was watching the fish in the pond in the yard, and signaled Xu Shu to submit the information.  "Master Hou, this is Kong Rong's random writing collected from Kong Rong's poetry meeting. There is a bamboo slip here written by Kong Rong himself." Xu Shu presented the bamboo slip to Lu Rui.  Lu Rui took the bamboo slip and looked at it. There was only one sentence engraved on the blank bamboo slip: What kind of relationship should a father have to his son?  In terms of its original intention, it is actually about lust.  Does the son also ridicule his mother?  For example, if something is put in a bottle, it will be separated when it comes out.  "Master Hou, this is what Kong Rong said when he was discussing parent-child relationship with his friends at a poetry meeting. This remark is really treasonous!" Xu Shu cupped his hand and reported back to Lu Rui.  Xu Shu is right. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the era of Xiaolian, parents were generally highly praised. For example, in this poetry meeting, someone raised the issue of parent-child relationship. Most people must have praised parents for their kindness in giving life to their children.  Children should also be filial to their parents in return for their upbringing.  This is the main theme, but Kong Rong did not follow the main theme and launched a counterattack.  "Kong Wenju was so wanton. He compared the relationship between father and son to mother and son as worse than animals. Although it may be arrogant, it is indeed a good weapon, a weapon to attack Kong Rong." According to Lu Rui's point of view, Kong Rong's words were too  If you are too presumptuous, you will be attacked even in modern times.  Kong Rong¡¯s words turned the act of parents giving birth to their children into a ruthless and unjust act.  According to Kong Rong¡¯s thinking, is a father kind to his children?  Without kindness, the child is just the product of the father's passion and his ejaculation into the hole.  Is the mother kind to her children?  Without kindness, the mother is like a bottle trapping the child. When the time comes, the child is born and has nothing to do with the mother.  To put it bluntly, mother is just a bottle.  Even in modern times, this kind of remarks will definitely be criticized by everyone, not to mention that in the Han Dynasty, such remarks were enough to kill the entire clan.  "What the Marquis said is true. Comparing the relationship between monarch, minister, father and son like this, Kong Wenju is really worse than an animal. As long as we use this to our advantage. Kong Wenju will be dead soon." "Well, is the evidence for this matter conclusive?" "Please rest assured, Marquis."  "There are witnesses and physical evidence, and it is Kong Rong's words, and Kong Rong's words appear many times. Kong Rong cannot deny it in the face of numerous evidences."  You can also try to inform the people of the world, no, just the people of Xudu, Yuan Zhi. Think about what will happen to Kong Rong. "Kong Rong used public opinion to suppress Cao Cao, and Lu Rui could do it.  Use public opinion to suppress Kong Rong.  "The Marquis is wise, and my subordinates understand what was done." "Okay, in a few days there will be a court meeting next month. Yuan Zhi, please spread the word throughout the city in three days. There should be no problem with this." "Please.  Don't worry, Lord Marquis, my subordinates know what to do." Xu Shu bowed his hands and retreated. With Lu Rui's order, Xu Shu only had to make this matter a storm in the city.  "Yes!" Lu Rui nodded and continued to feed the fish with fish feed.  Time flies so fast, three days have passed.  In the past three days, Kong Rong's remarks had spread throughout Xudu. Everyone was indignant at Kong Rong's remarks and privately hated Kong Rong deeply.  Some noble ladies were even more indignant at Kong Rong's remarks and compared themselves to a bottle. What a shame. Everyone was talking about it and asked their husbands to find Kong Rong's theory.  The city of Xudu was full of turmoil, and everyone's attention was diverted to Kong Rong's incident, and Cao Pi's incident was forgotten a lot.  Kong Rong was not aware of the discussions in Xudu City at this time. Early in the morning, he put on his court clothes and went to court. Today was the day of Cao Pi's public trial.  As soon as Kong Rong left the mansion, Lu Rui led people to ransack Kong Rong's home.  "Long live long live! Long live long live!"  He made a big mistake and gave himself time to show off his power.  "Your Majesty, Cao Pi, the fifth-rank lieutenant general, was ordered to garrison the navy camp when he accompanied the Prime Minister on the southern expedition. He was raided by the enemy at night. Cao Pi actually ordered not to rescue the injured and led the sergeants to break through alone. This is a serious crime. Please  Your Majesty is aware of this." Kong Rong was the first to stand up and appeal to Liu Xie to accuse Cao Pi of his crimes.  "Oh? The Kong Qing family, have you investigated this matter clearly? The Cao Qing family is the beloved son of the Prime Minister and is quite famous in Xudu. How could they do such a ruthless and unjust thing?" Liu Xie snorted.  He made a sound, seeming to be quite angry about Kong Rong's appearance, and refused to do so.letter.  "Reporting to your Majesty, I have witnesses who can prove this matter. Please allow me to present the witness to the palace." Kong Rong answered Liu Xie confidently. Kong Rong had prepared a lot of things for today's court meeting.  "It's accurate!" Liu Xie suppressed the excitement in his heart and raised his hand, indicating that Kong Rong could let the witness go to the hall.  "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please make the decision for us poor women and children!" As soon as Liu Xie allowed the witnesses to go to the hall, more than a dozen women knelt on the ground with their children in ragged clothes, burst into tears, and began to tell their stories.  tragic fate.  These people are all the family members of the soldiers Cao Cao brought to the southern expedition. They are from Jingzhou and Xudu.  Their husbands were all soldiers who followed Cao Cao in his southern expedition to Sun Quan. They died in the battle of Guilin County. The cause of death was serious injuries, and Cao Pi refused to save them.  A woman¡¯s tears and a child¡¯s innocent eyes are often the most powerful killing weapons.  Many ministers could not help but shed tears after hearing the description of the woman and child.  The plot is very touching. My husband has served the country for many years, and has made some military exploits in the north and south. Unexpectedly, he did not die in the hands of the enemy in the end, but died in the hands of his own people.  With these touching descriptions, not only Liu Xie's people were filled with indignation, but even some loyal people in Cao Cao's camp also showed indignation and were dissatisfied with Cao Pi's military orders.  "Humph!" Cao Cao sneered when he saw Kong Rong's performance.  After so many years, Kong Rong finally learned some tricks and knew how to find evidence and win people's hearts to use against him. However, these tricks were as ineffective in front of Cao Cao as a young child in a private school.  "Cao Qing's family? Is what Mr. Kong said true? Why didn't Cao Qing's family save the injured soldiers?" Liu Xie nodded, looked at Cao Pi again, and the plaintiff finished.  The defendant should always be given a chance.  "Reporting to your majesty, most of what Mr. Kong said is true, but the situation at that time was indeed not optimistic. If the general did not make such a decision, I am afraid that all the southern expedition troops would die in the water stronghold." Cao Pi bowed his hand and admitted.  Although he thought he had issued military orders, he believed that he was judging the situation.  There is no fault.  "Reporting to your majesty, I have something to report." Zhang Liao cupped his hands and stood up.  "Well, what's important, General Zhang?" "Reporting to your majesty, what General Cao said is true. The military situation at that time was urgent. Judging from the post-war situation. If our army had wasted time in rescuing the wounded soldiers, I am afraid that the entire army in the southern expedition would have been annihilated.  , Your Majesty, please take a closer look." At Cao Cao's signal, Zhang Liao stood up. This was not only because of Cao Cao, but Zhang Liao himself also wanted to report the truth.  "Absurd, General Zhang, you are a veteran who conquers all directions. Fire attacks often only trap most of the camps, and there is no way to escape. Cao Pi is a man with evil thoughts. Some people are just burned by small fires and fall into the water.  Even the soldiers and Cao Pi did not come to rescue him. This was a waste of human lives, and it was not a military emergency. " "Kong was not talented, and he also led the army to resist the Yellow Turban bandits. Fires and encirclements often happened on the lake.  You will not abandon your soldiers. There are many generals leading troops in the palace. With your experience in leading troops, don¡¯t you know how to break through the fire attack camp? Why can even one of them fall into the water and still swim?  Even the soldiers can't rescue him? Isn't this too ridiculous?" Kong Rong began to question the officials in the palace.  "General Zhang, General Liang, General Huang, and General Chu, do you think Master Kong's words are true?" Liu Xie listened to Kong Rong's words.  He began to randomly name several generals, including Liu Xie's people and Cao Cao's people. They were all generals with combat experience.  "Reporting to your Majesty, I think what Mr. Kong said is reasonable, and General Cao's order is inappropriate." Several generals gave basically the same answer. Kong Rong made sense this time. He had experienced it all  It is wrong for a general to not save his soldiers, and the encirclement of the camp by fire is not a desperate situation. There is something wrong with Cao Pi's handling method.  "Yes!" Liu Xie nodded, secretly happy in his heart. Even Cao Cao's people had no room to refute. It seemed that Liu Xie and Kong Rong had taken advantage of Dali this time.  "Prime Minister Cao, what you all have said seems that General Cao is indeed guilty of a serious crime. I wonder if Prime Minister Cao thinks this?" Liu Xie was sitting on the dragon throne and asked Cao Cao.  "Reporting to your majesty, I am the father of the guilty minister Cao Pi, so I should avoid suspicion. I dare not say more about this matter. I ask your majesty to observe clearly. Qiankun will make his own decision." Cao Cao cupped his hand and reported back to Liu Xie.  It feels so comfortable, I feel so comfortable!  This was the first time that Cao Cao had expressed such a soft attitude since he became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Regarding his son being punished, Cao Cao could only stare blankly without any rebuttal.  Liu Xie thought for a while, this is also how Cao Cao, a traitor, should behave. I would rather betray the world than let the world betray my traitor. In the face of his own interests, he will betray his own parents and children.    "Well, ladies and gentlemen, what else do you think?" Although Cao Cao expressed helplessness, the stance of the ministers is the most important, especially the ministers on Cao Cao's side. There is no absolute advantage in voting. Liu Xie  It would be difficult to touch Cao Pi at all.  "Reporting to your majesty, the sage said: the people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least. The people are the foundation of the country. Without the people, there will be no king. Without the king, there will be no ministers. The king, the king, the ministers, the father, the son, and the son are the principles of heaven.  Morality" Kong Rong began to use his Confucian skills, quoting scriptures and discussing classics to prove Cao Pi's crime. He was so evil that he could not be forgiven even if he died.  At this time, no one noticed that a uniformed general inside and outside the palace was looking at Kong Rong with a sneer. He was really an idiot, an idiot to the extreme.  This person was Lu Rui. After raiding Kong Rong's house, Lu Rui made some arrangements and came to the palace. However, he did not let anyone report it, but watched Kong Rong's performance.  "Reporting to your majesty, in ancient times, wise kings used virtuous ministers and far away from villains. Cao Pi's heart was as vicious as that of villains who owned the country. Please execute Cao Pi to calm the hearts of the people." Kong Rong finally got tired of talking and finally told Liu  Xie made a suggestion to put Cao Pi to death to calm the people.  "This?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment. Kong Rong's suggestion was to kill Cao Pi. It would be good to kill Cao Cao's son, but the opinions of the ministers were the most important.  Liu Xie thought for a while and decided to test the opinions of the ministers.  "Master Kong suggested that General Cao be executed. What do you think? Should General Cao be executed?" "I second that Cao Pi's move is against the law of heaven. Please kill him to appease the people." Liu Xie's people immediately stood up.  He came out to second the opinion that Cao Pi's crime was too great. If Cao Pi was spared this time, the morale of the army might be unstable and the lives of the soldiers would not be valued.  How to stabilize the world? Soldiers are also human lives.  Liu Xie's people grasped this dead reason and wanted to punish Cao Pi.  Cao Cao's people were uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, and not many people stood up to oppose.  Although everyone supports Cao Cao, they do not necessarily think that all Cao Cao's decisions are right, especially Cao Pi's remarks.  It violated human ethics and did not involve political affiliation, so Cao Cao's people did not object.  It is one thing to support Cao Cao, but it is another thing to uphold personal morality.  "I believe that although Cao Pi committed a serious crime, this military order still rescued some sergeants. Please consider this merit and spare Cao Pi from death. Instead, choose a heavy punishment." Some generals who experienced the Battle of Guilin naturally stood up to defend him.  Cao Pi argued, but this part of the force was very weak and could hardly hear the sound.  Liu Xie was so happy when he saw this scene. He had never had so many ministers support him. Even Cao Cao's people did not support Cao Pi. It can be seen that Cao Pi's death was inevitable.  "Eunuch Cao, you can go in and report." Seeing Liu Xie's look.  Lu Rui knew it was time for him to appear.  "Yes, Lord Marquis!" Eunuch Cao cupped his hands and walked into the main hall.  "Your Majesty, General Lu Rui of Chariots and Cavalry would like to see you!" Eunuch Cao cupped his hands and reported to Liu Xie.  Since the Southern Expedition, Lu Rui's official position has been promoted to the next level, the Han Dynasty Chariot and Cavalry General.  The second grade is the official, the official is the second grade, and the official duty is to defend the capital.  "General Chariot and Cavalry?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment after hearing Eunuch Cao's report.  Looking at the ministers, he realized that Lu Rui was not in the court today.  Lu Rui?  When Kong Rong heard this name, he was startled, and a bad premonition suddenly arose. Lu Rui disappeared for a period of time for such an important matter as Cao Pi's public trial. Could he be planning something?  "General Chariots and Cavalry are coming in." Liu Xie calmed down. Cao Pi's matter has already been like this. Even most of Cao Cao's ministers do not support Cao Pi, and Lu Rui should be at his wits' end.  "I have seen your majesty, Lu Rui. Long live your majesty!" "General Lu, please rise. General Lu is an old minister of the late emperor. He has served three generations of kings, so there is no need to be polite." After years of training, Liu Xie has become a mature man.  If he were not forced by the situation, he would probably be a wise emperor.  Starting from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, plus Liu Xie's short-lived brother, Lu Rui was indeed an important minister in the three dynasties. Starting from the time when he was granted the title of Marquis, Lu Rui began to count his official age.  "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Rui cupped his hands and stepped aside.  "I wonder what General Lu has to do? Why are you late for the court meeting?" Liu Xie has mastered some of the emperor's skills, and has a sense of what he can be angry about and what he can tolerate.  Lu Rui sighed in his heart. If Liu Xie had been so wise when Cao Cao was the emperor, I'm afraid Cao Cao would only be a capable minister.  "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have a new chariot and cavalry general to defend the capital, and I dare not neglect it. Today, the captain reported an incident in the city that involves the safety of the capital. I dare not neglect it and lead the troops to deal with it. Your Majesty, please take a closer look." "Oh.  ?What's the matter? You actually asked General Chachi to handle it in person?"Liu Xie was stunned for a moment. Could it be that something big happened in Xudu? "Reporting to your majesty, the people of Xudu ransacked Lord Kong Rong's mansion this morning. Rui had no choice but to go to appease the people. Please take a closer look.  "Lu Rui cupped his hands and reported back to Liu Xie. "What?  "Liu Xie was stunned for a moment after hearing Lu Rui's words, and the officials were also stunned for a moment. Everyone heard Lu Rui's words. Xudu people ransacked Kong Rong's house. This was a strange thing. The people actually dared to  What kind of world is this when you raid the homes of high officials? "General Chariot and Cavalry, what do you mean?  "Kong Rong glared at Lu Rui. Of course Lu Rui was talking nonsense. People dare to raid their own homes? It must be Lu Rui's fault. "What do you mean?  Mr. Kong, do you not remember what you said?  Is this what Master Kong said?  "Lu Rui threw the bamboo slips to Kong Rong. "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!  " Then Lu Rui told Liu Xie what Kong Rong had said, and at the same time cited a large amount of evidence, so that Kong Rong could not refute it. After hearing Lu Rui's report, the ministers also began to whisper, Cao Pi was not responsible for Kong Rong's crime.  In a sense, Kong Rong was more worthy of death than Cao Pi. For a time, the ministers began to discuss Lu Rui's report. After hearing Lu Rui's report, Yang Biao frowned.  Yang Biao was not surprised that Lu Rui took action. Cao Cao would not fail to save his son. However, following Lu Rui's description, Yang Biao knew that something was wrong. Lu Rui struck back and retaliate in the same way, seizing  Due to the weakness of the Han law, Kong Rong not only failed to kill Cao Pi this time, but also got himself involved. "A terrible opponent!"  "Yang Biao looked up at Lu Rui with complicated eyes. Lu Rui used to be Cao Cao's adopted son. He was politically talented and had the opportunity to become a young important minister. However, Yang Biao always viewed Lu Rui as a junior. After all,  Most of Lu Rui's things were done under Cao Cao's instructions. But this time it was different. Yang Biao knew that it was not convenient for Cao Cao to come forward, so he had already handed over the matter to Lu Rui. Cao Cao did not give any instructions to Lu Rui.  So the loopholes in the Han law were discovered by Lu Rui himself. This political power is almost comparable to that of Cao Cao. PS: Thank you for your support. You can guess what the loopholes in the Han law are.  Did some research.
