There were many onlookers on the Royal Street, and it was extremely noisy. People looked at the prison car surrounded by iron cavalry on the road. The people in the prison car had disheveled hair and a sign on their back: Rebel Zhou Duan. As the prison car passed by on the road, some people threw rotten vegetable leaves on Zhou Duan's head, spat on him, and cursed him hatefully, making a great noise. It is not known what direct harm Zhou Duan caused to ordinary people to make him so hated. Many of the people who attacked him did not even know who Zhou Duan was. Anyway, the person who was detained in the prison car and displayed to the public must be a bad person who committed a heinous crime! There was a big man in a cloth robe among the crowd, it was Yang Ye. He has been in Hedong all year round, and most people in Tokyo don't recognize him. Yang Ye looked at it carefully for a while, then turned and left the crowd, with only one attendant beside him. He hurriedly ran into a side street and went straight to the carriage house. He found the shopkeeper and said, "rent two fast horses!" After that, he took out his money bag and poured out brass money and a few silver coins. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper said: "Sir, you don't have enough money. You have to pay a full deposit to rent a horse. Otherwise, if the guest doesn't return the horse, we will lose money?" After hearing this, Yang Ye touched himself and took out a jade pendant: "How is this thing?" The shopkeeper picked it up and looked at it. Seeing this, the attendant beside Yang Ye couldn't help but said: "Alang, we don't have horses, so why rent horses?" Yang Ye turned around and glared at him, and the attendant shut his mouth. "It's done!" the shopkeeper said. Yang Ye said: "Please arrange it quickly, shopkeeper." The two got the horses from the carriage house, went straight out of the city, and then hurried north along the post road. ¡Zhou Duan was convicted and imprisoned, his life was in danger, and his whole family was implicated. The court has verified that Governor Xu Zhouduan, Shi Zhouduan, was seized upon by the rebellious party and coerced by the rebellious party. He was also lured with a large amount of money. He took bribes many times and disregarded human life. He aided the evil deeds and condoned the rebellious party in Xuzhou. What he did has been found to be a crime of rebellion. In the Dali Temple Yamen Office, Luo Yanhuan was not allowed to leave the suite, and the number of soldiers and subordinates guarding the house day and night increased to more than 20 people. Luo Yanhuan sat in the living room for a long time without saying a word. The handyman who came in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks saw the untouched food and wine on the table and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Luo hasn't eaten yet, it's all cold." "You go and bring a message, I want to see you. Lord." Luo Yanhuan said. The handyman glared and said, "Young man only works and doesn't see the hall officials. Do you still want to eat the food and wine?" Luo Yanhuan waved his hand: "There are no guards outside. If you tell any little boss what I say, someone will help you." Send the message. Take it! I have no appetite!" After waiting for a long time, the young minister of Dali Temple came in person. After all, Luo Yanhuan is the Duke of the country. Even if he is trapped in a small room, the officials still dare not be rude. "How good is the food and accommodation, Lord Protector?" the young minister of Dali Temple said with clasped fists. Luo Yanhuan said directly: "We have done everything that needs to be done about the major rebellion case a while ago. Why did Governor Xu Zhouduan not take action until now?" The young minister of Dali Temple looked troubled, shook his head and said with a grimace: "How can I get it? You know? Maybe you haven¡¯t found him before?¡± Luo Yanhuan said in a low voice: ¡°Zhou Duan has shouldered the important task entrusted by the court and has done nothing in Xuzhou. He deserves to be charged with corruption and dereliction of duty. Why did he suddenly become a rebel? Why are you protesting?" The young minister of Dali Temple showed an innocent expression: "I really don't know anything." Luo Yanhuan said a little annoyed: "You are the young minister of Dali Temple, and you don't know anything about it? "The Shaoqing of Dali Temple said: "It is said that Zhou Duan was caught by the rebels below because he had something to do." "That's all," Luo Yanhuan slapped the table, "I want to see Zuo Fuzheng." This" Luo Yanhuan said: "I will write a letter in my own hand and give it to Zuo You for me." The young minister of Dali Temple thought for a while and said, "I have to report it to the imperial court first. It depends on whether the imperial court agrees or not. I can help the Duke like this." Luo Yanhuan said displeasedly: "Just do what you like! You people have no sense of responsibility and are unwilling to take any responsibility." The young official of Dali Temple said, "Don't be arrogant. This black gauze hat really cannot bear much responsibility. If there is nothing else, I will leave." Luo Yanhuan got up and went to the study, but he didn't know what to write. He dropped the brush directly on the rice paper, got up and walked around the room. His brows were furrowed, feeling very bad The situation was too simple, Zhou Duan had turned into a rebel, how should he deal with his "collusion" with Zhou Duan? ! "Damn it!" Luo Yanhuan cursed. This motherfucker is a fire pit! Why do the officials want me to jump into a fire pit? Luo Yanhuan sometimes stamped his feet and sometimes shook his head. He couldn't believe it. The officials even lied to his old brother? ! I have made many great contributions to the government. If I had not captured the west gate in time during the Tokyo Mutiny, maybe the whole party in the center of the Xu Kingdom would still be alive now! In the afternoon, someone suddenly said: "Duke Protector, Zuo Fuzheng has arrived." Luo Yanhuan hurriedly said: "Please come quickly!" Not long after, Zuo You, wearing an official robe, came in and bowed: "Dear Protector, are you okay?" Luo Yanhuan pointed to the chair and said, "Master Zuo, sit down and talk." Zuo You bowed slightly and sat down on a chair next to the coffee table. Luo Yanhuan also came over and sat down on the other side. The two looked at each other in silence. Luo Yanhuan asked again the doubts in his heart: "How did Zhou Duan become a rebel?" Zuo You sighed and said: "I didn't tell Duke Luo. Xuzhou is the place where the official family is prosperous, so serious The incident happened in Xuzhou. As the governor of Xuzhou, how can Zhou Duan survive?" He whispered, "That incident was a plot to kill the king, not something trivial!" Luo Yanhuan frowned, with three eyebrows raised. Wen said, "Then why do the officials want me to admit that the secret letter was written to Zhou Duan? Isn't that cheating my brother?" Zuo You said, "Brother Luo won't survive either." Luo Yanhuan was stunned. Zuo You whispered: "Li Chuyun was excusable. He was pushed onto the fire and roasted without any choice. In order to protect himself in panic, he still did nothing in the end and returned to Beijing to hand over military power. His performance is not very satisfactory, but his loyalty is barely enough. What's more, Li Chuyun is the eldest prince's grandfather. If the official kills Li Chuyun, it will mean that he is disowned. How will Concubine Li deal with it differently? Even if Li Chuyun is your brother, it's different. Who forced you? It is obvious from your actions that your loyalty to your brothers exceeds your loyalty to the official family. "No one forced you, Mr. Luo," Luo Yanhuan said. Beads of sweat broke down, "What did I do? I just sent a letter and didn't do anything else." Zuo You shook his head and sighed: "You have asked me to form an alliance many times, how dare I? But you have to Force me to block my way in the streets!" Luo Yanhuan said: "I really have no intention of harming Zuo Gong." Zuo You said: "I believe this, otherwise it is not certain who harms whom" Luo Yanhuan's eyes were red and his expression was red. He looked at Zuo You complicatedly: "But the officials must punish me to death because of this?" Zuo You said: "Mr. Luo, you may think that you have not done anything serious, but it is actually very serious." He He bowed and said in a low voice, "When the official family was in Songzhou, all the generals wore yellow robes. It has only been a few years ago. If Li Chuyun really had a chance, Luo Gong must be one of the 'generals' who gave yellow robes; or There will be someone who reaches that position in the future, and Luo Gong is also one of the 'generals'." Luo Yanhuan's face turned red and he kept shaking his head. Zuo You said again: "Luo Gong has indeed made great contributions to the official family, but the official family treats you poorly? The official family shares the wealth and honor of the world with the brothers, and they are not raised to become a hidden danger to the imperial power. In my opinion, the official family values ???? Love is important, and it was very uncomfortable to do this, so much so that I fainted. "Oh!" Luo Yanhuan said in a trembling voice, "I have always thought wrong. This place of power is reallyah, why is Zuo Gong okay?" Zuo You glared and said, "Why am I in trouble? I didn't do anything! Do I want to meet Duke Luo on my own?" He thought for a while and said, "The officials must have asked when Duke Luo came to the palace that day. Regarding Mr. Luo's matter, it seems that when the officials sent me to participate in the interrogation of Zhou Duan, Mr. Luo told the truth that day and it did not harm me. This is why I am willing to see Mr. Luo today and said so many things. Reason. Zuo has learned a lot from the official family for many years, including the clear distinction between grievances and grievances." Luo Yanhuan was sweating profusely, and his facial features were almost wrinkled. He lowered his head and muttered: "That day, someone had already told the official family in advance. What's the matter? I thought that person was Zuo Gong Are you trying to drive a wedge between us to prevent me from protecting Zuo Gong? " Zuo You said: "The officials don't believe that I would rush to collude with Luo Gong, but I still take one more step. , confirmed this from Luo Gong¡¯s mouth.¡± The meridians on Luo Yanhuan¡¯s face bulged, and he gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: ¡°Gao! Zuo Gong is indeed Gao!¡± Zuo You shook his head and said: ¡°I am still too immature and short-sighted. Compared with those like Wei Renpu, the difference is in level." Luo Yanhuan laughed so hard that he burst into tears: "I have always thought that brotherhood is as great as the sky!" Zuo You said, "Everyone. To be humane, but also reasonable" Luo Yanhuan said: "Damn it! Whoever dares to disobey the imperial edict of the official family will have me beheaded. They have to use this trick to deceive me. Why do the officials want me to recognize that the letter is for Zhou Duan?" Zuo You glared and said: "Why is Mr. Luo also the Duke of the country? Isn't it a good thing to die in an unknown manner? Temples are not marketplaces, and everything must have an explanation that can be put on the table. You admitted it yourself in front of all the civil and military officials, It¡¯s a case of rebellion, isn¡¯t the cause of death sufficient?¡± Luo Yanhuan said angrily, ¡°That¡¯s a lie! I want to retract my confession!¡± Zuo You said calmly, ¡°Did you write the letter yourself?¡± Luo Yanhuan said, ¡°No. It's for Zhou Duan!" Zuo You asked, "Who should it be for?" Luo Yanhuan hesitated. Zuo You said in a deep voice: "If the officials want you to die, you must die! You will die sooner or later! What good will it do if you tarnish the reputation of the founding father (Li Chuyun) again? How can you bear it?" Zuo You's voice was very low, His tone was slightly aggressive: "Do you still want Mr. Luo to leave some room for your family?" At this time, Luo Yanhuan remembered Guo Shao's meaningful words: I will live and die together with my brothers in a bloody storm. Li Chuyun is already dead, and I don't want to see him again. Defile his posthumous name. More importantly, I want to take care of everyone¡¯s families. General Luo, go back and think about it carefully.
