"I would like to report to your Majesty that Master Kong's remarks are actually unfaithful and unjust. People are talking about this in the streets of Xudu. As a Confucius, he actually made such remarks. Your Majesty, please be careful!" Lu Rui cupped his hand and said to Liu Xie bowed. "Master Kong, these remarks?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Lu Rui would actually come up with this move to prevent Kong Rong from attacking Cao Pi and turn him into a critic. "Reporting to your majesty, these remarks are indeed made by Rong. They are just a discussion between Rong and his friends about the relationship between parents and children. Lu Rui's remarks are really making trouble out of nothing and confusing the public. Please ignore them. Your Majesty, I think this matter can be shelved. "The matter of Cao Pi should be the subject of today's discussion." Kong Rong immediately stood up to refute Lu Rui, and don't try to avoid dealing with Cao Pi by diverting attention. "Okay, Mr. Kong, since you want to deal with General Cao, let me ask Mr. Kong, which law of the Han Dynasty did General Cao break and should be held accountable? If there is no violation of the law, what is the basis for Mr. Kong's punishment?" Lu Rui Smiling slightly, since Kong Rong talked about Cao Pi, I would talk to him about Cao Pi. As soon as Yang Biao heard Lu Rui's question, he knew that Lu Rui had grasped the core of Cao Pi's problem. Kong Rong's defeat has been decided. The Han's legal ability is the basis for dealing with Cao Pi. The laws of each dynasty in China are different, but one thing is the same, that is, if you have any questions, ask the classics! In layman's terms, when a person's behavior arouses public outrage and everyone thinks he has violated the law, the government will take action. However, ancient laws were imperfect, and many things were handled based on lax laws or against moral principles. At this time, in order to deal with criminals, the method that court officials liked to use was to look up ancient classics, use the words of sages, and use the words of sages. Convicting criminals is also a powerful supplement to ancient justice. When something is unclear, asking for the classics comes from the judicial practice of the Han Dynasty. The founder is Zhang Tang, a powerful official of Han Dynasty. Everyone knows that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used Dong Zhongshu to depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. But in fact, Dong Zhongshu did not play such a big role, and people in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not buy it very much, so the promotion of Confucianism was very slow until the emergence of Zhang Tang. Zhang Tang is a court lieutenant and handles cases every day. Of course, he encounters many difficult cases. In these cases, it is difficult to find a basis for judging the case in Han law. At this time, Zhang Tang will use Confucian classics as the yardstick for judging the case. The most famous one is Zhang Tang¡¯s trial of his mother¡¯s murder! There was an old Wangtou under Zhang Tang's rule. The old Wangtou was rich and married a young wife. However, the daughter-in-law did not follow the rules of a wife and killed Lao Wangtou with her concubine. Lao Wangtou's son refused and killed his stepmother. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty. When the biological mother is gone, the stepmother is the biological mother. Therefore, Lao Wangtou's son should be beheaded for committing the crime of killing his mother. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is unfair. Unfortunately, there is no relevant explanation in the Han law. Zhang Tang thought of using classics to judge cases. According to Confucianism: If a mother is unkind and kills her husband, and the son takes revenge, it is not a crime! This theory was used to sentence Lao Wangtou's son not guilty. After such a trial. Confucianism was accepted by the Han Dynasty and became the orthodox doctrine. In the future, when something is unclear, it has been an ancient practice to consult the classics. "This?" When Lu Rui asked, Kong Rong was stunned. It is true that Cao Pi did not violate any of the laws of the Han Dynasty. The laws of the Han Dynasty did not stipulate that a general could not sacrifice the lives of his soldiers, and no general would be punished if he did not save his life. This is a blank! On the contrary, Liu Xiu once said at that time: It will be outside. In case of emergency, don't follow your orders. This is what Liu Xiu said and was recorded by the historian. In this sense, Cao Pi was not only not guilty but also meritorious because he followed Liu Xiu's last words. "Humph, Cao Pi is a ruthless man, and as the commander of an army. He actually ignored the safety of his soldiers and refused to save them. This is against the principles of benevolence and righteousness, and he should be punished for his crime." Kong Rong had no basis for counterattack. We can only make a fuss about Cao Pi's cruelty. "Oh? Then Mr. Kong also thinks that General Cao did not violate the laws of the Han Dynasty, so why should General Cao be punished or even beheaded?" Lu Rui felt very sad when he saw Kong Rong digging into his pocket step by step. Happy. "The sage has the cloud" "Hahahaha, this is ridiculous. Lord Kong is worthy of the sage?" "If Ruorui remembers correctly, Master Kong's ancestor was also a saint, but in Master Kong's eyes, his father was just a beast in heat, and his mother was just a bottle that couldn't move. Does Master Kong have the words to respect a saint? If not, Master Kong would speak like a saint at this time. "Isn't it ridiculous?" Lu Rui asked Kong Rong directly without giving Kong Rong a chance to speak. "L¨¹ Rui, you?" Kong Rong was already sweating profusely and had no way to fight back against Lu Rui. "Your Majesty, Master Kong's remarks are indeed extremely sinful. How can a person who has committed such a heinous crime provide any accusations and evidence to prove it?"?General Cao¡¯s crime? Please allow your majesty to withdraw Mr. Kong's personal and material evidence from the court, so that it cannot be used as an accusation against General Cao this time. " Seeing the opportunity coming, Man Chong stood up and made a suggestion to Liu Xie, a fatal suggestion. Yang Biao listened to Man Chong's words and sighed in his heart. There was no way. Lu Rui played with the laws of the Han Dynasty. Well, it seems that not only will Cao Pi not be killed this time, but Kong Rong might also get involved. Law enforcers of all ages have always insisted on the unity of words and deeds. To put it bluntly, law enforcers cannot have any crime. Defects cannot violate laws and morals. No matter what laws or morals are violated, the classics are actually a way to use morality to deal with cases. Now that Kong Rong himself does not respect his parents and does not follow basic morals, then he will. He is a guilty person. Wouldn¡¯t it be a big joke for a guilty person to provide evidence to prove another person who broke the law? It is nonsense to enforce the law and not obey the law! Everything is based on laws. Does arguing like this mean that we forget the laws of the court? "Liu Xie is indeed mature. He did not panic when encountering this situation. Instead, he calmed everyone down first. But his mind was spinning rapidly, looking for a way to solve the problem. Lu Rui played too hard with Kong. A huge stain on Rong, it directly denied all the evidence provided by Kong Rong. These people were all the ones who proved Cao Pi's guilt. If they were denied, it would be a waste of time, manpower and material resources to find witnesses and evidence. Although the evidence of Cao Pi's crime will not be destroyed, after all, too many people died, the new evidence can alleviate Cao Pi's crime. The witnesses and evidence were found by Kong Rong first. Once they were invalidated, finding new evidence would not be so powerful. Liu Xie knew this, but there was nothing he could do at this time. Lu Rui had already figured it out. Mingmen, it¡¯s not so easy to fight back. ¡°I deserve to die. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. "Lu Rui cupped his hands and apologized to Liu Xie. "General Chariot and Cavalry, there is no need to blame yourself. I also want everyone to calm down. " "I would like to inform your Majesty that I received a secret report yesterday that the assassination of General Cao in Xudu Prison may be related to Lord Kong. Today Baixin raided Lord Kong's mansion. Rui has discovered some evidence. I am afraid that Mr. Kong is also related to the assassination. Your Majesty, please take a closer look! "Lu Rui cupped his hands and threw another bombshell to Liu Xie. "L¨¹ Rui, this is your slander. I definitely did not assassinate Cao Pi. Cao Pi is not worthy of me as a child. You are slandering, real slander! "Kong Rong's parent-child remarks were made by himself and he admitted it, but the assassination of Cao Pi was obviously a fabrication. How could Kong Rong not be excited? Liu Xie was indignant after hearing Lu Rui's words. This Lu Rui is so capable of causing trouble. . Will Kong Rong assassinate Cao Pi? According to Kong Rong's opinion, Cao Pi would do such a stupid thing even if Kong Rong is not powerful. This is Cao Cao's power. There is evidence that Cao Cao can also lie! Liu Xie suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the ministers in the court. At this time, Cao Cao was already asleep on the armchair. For those who have the right to sit, especially the middle-aged prime minister, Cao Cao's sleep is a naked provocation. Looking at the ministers, his own people have stopped talking, and it seems that they can't fight back against Lu Rui. Cao Cao's people were also silent. Those who stood up for moral reasons just lowered their heads. They could use morality as an excuse to rebuke Cao Pi once, but not a second time. After all, Cao Cao is their master, Liu. In Cao's eyes, Xie is just a puppet. "Old Lieutenant, what do you think? "Liu Xie had no choice but to look at Yang Biao for help. Only then did this loyal minister of the Han Dynasty have the intelligence to compete with Cao Cao and Lu Rui. "I would like to inform your Majesty that this matter has developed to this point and I believe that both Cao Pi and Kong Rong are guilty. , the first priority is to keep the two of them in Xudu's prison. "Yang Biao had already thought of a countermeasure on the side, and was just waiting for Liu Xie to ask for help. "Well, Mr. Yang's words are reasonable. Someone will take Cao Pi and Kong Rong down. "Liu Xie immediately understood Yang Biao's intention. This was to give himself a break. Otherwise, according to Lu Rui's character, he would definitely have a back-up plan. Liu Xie first put both of them in prison so that Lu Rui would have no one to show off to. " promise! "The guards in the court raised their hands and took the two of them down. "Sir, what about Kong Rong and Cao Pi? "Liu Xie sighed helplessly. Two people who were originally unrelated were actually pulled together and formed a relationship of interest. "The old minister thinks "With a pop, Yang Biao fell heavily onto the court before he could reply. "Oh no, old lieutenant"I'm sick. Come here. Send the imperial doctor to come. Retreat from the court. The old imperial doctor's health is in critical condition! "Seeing that Yang Biao fell, Liu Xie quickly asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Yang Biao, and he retreated from the court on an excuse. "Retreat from the court! "Eunuch Liu shouted loudly, and Liu Xie took Yang Biao back to the harem, leaving only the civil and military personnel in the palace. At this time, Cao Cao, who was sitting on the chair, had his eyes closed, with a slight sinister smile on his lips. He opened his eyes. At that time, Liu Xie had already left. Cao Cao came behind Lu Rui and patted Lu Rui: "Bufan, Jie'er hasn't been back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while. You go to pick up Jie'er and have dinner at the Prime Minister's Mansion!" " "Yes, Father Zhong! "Hahahahaha! After saying that, Cao Cao left the court with a big smile. PS: Thank you for your great support!!!!
