Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Wang Miaoyin sighed softly: "Brother Yu, I understand your thoughts. After all, he is such a young child. He has always been used by others and is innocent. But I must remind you, what crime are you charged with?" How about dealing with these so-called false kings and fraudsters?"

The muscles on Liu Yu's face twitched lightly: "Just like what you said, it's an impostor to deceive the court and the Queen of Kuaiji."

Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Although this child is young, if he is instigated to pretend to be a prince, he is also guilty of a crime. According to the criminal law of Dajin, impersonating a prince is a felony of disrespect. No matter how old the child is, will be executed."

Liu Yu closed his eyes, and murmured: "Although the law is so, we all know that this child was wronged. Although he was a tool used by Xie Hun, the crime does not deserve to die. Is there any way? Keep him, at least, save his life?!"

Wang Miaoyin pondered for a while, and said: "Pretending to be the prince of the clan is a crime of disrespect, like treason, but if extrajudicial grace is granted, Nian and his age are too young, and amnesty can also be granted. If it is the wife of the Queen of Kuaiji who intercedes, It is said that this child is like his deceased grandson, begging to be lenient and let her stay by his side as a grandson to raise him. However, before she reaches adulthood, her status can only be that of a domestic servant, and she needs to be named differently. , you can’t use the surname Sima, so as not to cause trouble in the future.”

Liu Yu nodded: "This is necessary. His life is saved for the sake of good life. I can't bear to kill a child, but I can't let him grow up and leave future troubles. I was thinking about a past incident repeatedly just now. That is, after Huanxuan's fall, his former subordinate Wang Kangchan in Jiangling captured Huanxuan's five-year-old son Huan Sheng, and beheaded him together with some of Huanxuan's henchmen in the city at the Jiangling market."

Speaking of this, Liu Yu's eyes were a little moist: "Although Huanxuan's crimes are heinous and he will never be pardoned, his child is only five years old. He doesn't understand anything. He only knows that he is King Yuzhang, and no one else can kill him. He. But even so, he was doomed. Later, when Huan Zhen counterattacked Jiangling, he almost killed Sima Dezong because of it. He yelled that a five-year-old child was guilty of this. He actually knew that Sima Dezong was taken down at this time. With Sima Dewen, control is the best banner in your hands, at least you can negotiate terms with us, but even so, you can't help but want to avenge this child, people's hearts are long, and I would be Huan Zhen, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."

Wang Miaoyin said sternly: "Brother Yu, I can understand your thoughts, but in fact, any severe punishment for treason against the Yi people is to kill the roots, let alone a five-year-old, it is a five-month or even five-day-old baby. I won't let it go, the defense is that when he grows up, he knows the hatred of the family, wants revenge, and even creates more hatred and death for revenge. If you give this child to the Queen of Kuaiji to raise, I'm afraid Ten years later, how will this child be placed in the future."

Liu Yu frowned: "Do you think it's right to cut grass and roots? Even a seven-year-old child should be killed in order not to cause trouble in the future?"

Wang Miaoyin sighed softly: "Don't say anything else, let's just say that you exterminated Wang Yu's family back then. At that time, you ordered the weeds to be cut and no one left. Not even a maid was left behind in the Wang family. Your young children died under your sword, you have not forgotten this matter."

A trace of guilt flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, and he murmured: "I was so angry that time, I couldn't control myself, not only me, but also all the brothers, we all regard Xie Tingfeng as our own brother Because of his death in training back then, we were all like our own relatives who died. Over the years, not only me, but at least a dozen brothers have been sending military pay to his family when they were alive. life difficulties."

"We finally waited until Tingyun grew up and joined the army. Don't mention how happy we are. In our eyes, that child is like Tingfeng coming back to life. We have been taking care of him, just wanting to make up for the past years in him. The regret of losing the stop wind, to be honest, I have never cared about Taoist regulations like this.”

When Liu Yu said this, tears glistened in his eyes. The events of that year seemed to come to mind again. Wang Miaoyin gently put her bare hands on Liu Yu's shoulders. I don't know what to do to appease this man who is as tough as steel in front of me with my own tenderness.

Liu Yu's voice was deep and balanced, with sadness: "In order to prevent brother Tingyun from making any mistakes, I have not let him rush to the front for so many years, and I didn't even call him when Jianyi was in the building. I just want him to live well. Maybe it is because of my actions that he has no chance to make great contributions, become a colonel or even a general~www.readwn.com~ In the end, he can only retire and return to his hometown as a master. Because he has widened the gap with those of us who have become generals, I can't take care of him for a while, so I let him be killed by these dogs of the Wang family!"

When he said this, his eyes were wide open, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists, as if he was pinching the necks of Wang Yu and his son, even the joints on the fists were crackling.

Wang Miaoyin said quietly: "There are tens of thousands of brothers in the Beifu army, you can't take care of them all. Over the years, so many brothers have died in battle, leaving behind orphans and widows, and you can't just treat Xie Tingyun well. This It's his life, not your fault. Brother Yu, you don't have to blame yourself for this. Even if Brother Tingyun stayed in his hometown, he might be bullied and lose his life. It's not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen. ah."

Liu Yu shook his head, and gently held Wang Miaoyin's hand that rested on his shoulders. This catkin is also sweaty at the moment. Obviously, her heart is also ups and downs at the moment, Liu Yu sighed. : "Miaoyin, don't comfort me like this, I know you mean well, but I didn't call him when I was in Jianyi, he probably thought I didn't treat him as a brother, so when my family moved to Jiankang, he didn't notify me , if it wasn't for my private visit for tea, I wouldn't even have met him!"

"I made an appointment with him and will come again. After I think about it, I will find him a decent job so that he will not set up a noodle stall to earn a living. I even thought of letting his children join our Jingkou brothers' children in the future." Xiang Xu, I will be able to read and write in the future, and I will be able to become the son of a scholar. These are impossible to become a reality. The child of the Xie family is only five years old. Five years old. It's all about this kid smiling and calling me Uncle Ji Nu, even when I killed Murong Chui, my killing intent was not so strong!"
