The scars on the back are a soldier’s shame!
Zhu Ping'an's words were so powerful that the entire court of the Ministry of Justice was filled with a buzzing sound. Wan Gong from the Dali Temple and Wang Gao from the Censorate, who were sitting in the main bench, lowered their heads and began to talk to each other. From time to time, their eyes swept over the two Jinyiwei with red knife marks on their chests and Zhao Daying. After a moment, the two nodded.
This time, more officials in the gallery of the court were whispering to each other, their eyes shifting from the red knife marks on the chests of the Jinyiwei to the scars on Zhao Daying's back, occasionally with a few chuckles.
If Zhu Ping'an simply said this sentence, it might not have such a big impact. However, before Zhu Ping'an said it, he asked two Jinyiwei to appear in a simulated battle to prove this sentence. It was very intuitive. Both of them had knife scars on their chests but not on their backs. This was very convincing.
After seeing the scars left by the Jinyiwei after the simulated battle, everyone couldn't help but compare them with the scar on Zhao Daying's back. It was indeed as Zhu Ping'an said, if two armies were fighting and impacting each other, then it would be normal to be injured on the chest. How could it be an injury on the back, unless he was fleeing from the battlefield and was chased by the enemy and chopped or stabbed.
Of course, there is another possibility, that you are not good at martial arts and were attacked by the enemy. However, this possibility is not very likely. What about the five scars on your back? Were they all caused by ambush? Are you stupid enough to fall into a pit five times? ! Therefore, this possibility can be ignored.
After figuring it out
If people think back to what Zhao Daying just said, they will find that it is full of loopholes. For example, the most obvious example is the arrow wound mentioned by Zhao Daying. Zhao Daying said that he was shot by a Tatar archer when he was chasing the Tatar army. Then the question is, how could you be shot in the back while you were chasing
So, after thinking it through, people also find it ridiculous.
After Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, he looked straight into Zhao Daying's eyes. At first, Zhao Daying looked at Zhu Ping'an very confidently, but as people whispered and pointed, Zhao Daying's eyes flickered.
"What nonsense!"
Five seconds later, Zhao Daying no longer looked at Zhu Ping'an, but as if he had turned into Dou E, he shouted at Zhu Ping'an in indignation.
"That's complete nonsense!"
Zhao Daying roared indignantly, then turned to the main judge and the audience and loudly defended, "My lords, please do not be deceived by Zhu Ping'an's sweet words. What Zhu Ping'an said is pure slander. Look at my Ming soldiers, how many soldiers have back injuries? Are they all cowards and deserters? Zhu Ping'an is deliberately misleading you. The battle between two armies is not a two-man arena fight. There is no such thing as a two-man fight. The battlefield changes rapidly and is full of dangers. It is normal to have chest and back injuries."
"Oh..." Zhu Ping'an deliberately prolonged his voice after Zhao Daying finished speaking.
Oh my god, get out of here!
Zhao Daying didn't want to see Zhu Ping'an for even a moment. Everything was caused by this bastard. It was this bastard who made him suspected by everyone!
When Zhao Daying gnashed his teeth in hatred, Zhu Ping'an's elongated tail tone finally stopped. However, as soon as he stopped, Zhu Ping'an asked, "May I ask, Lord Zhao, do you like to ride a horse backwards when you are fighting on the battlefield?"
Riding backwards!
Are you a pig-headed person? Who is riding a horse? And you like it? Are you sick
Zhao Daying did not answer, but expressed his answer with a look as if he was looking at an idiot.
"When Lord Zhao was introducing these scars just now, I don't remember the others very clearly, but I remember the last arrow wound Lord Zhao mentioned very clearly, because this arrow wound is directly related to today's petition. Lord Zhao said that this arrow wound was caused by the Gengxu Rebellion last year, when he was ordered to lead his troops to pursue the Tatar army and was shot in the back. So, is Lord Zhao possessed by the soul of Zhang Guolao, riding a horse backwards to chase the enemy? How could he be shot in the back while chasing the enemy?"
Zhu Ping'an asked with the corners of his lips curled, and when he said the word "back", he deliberately emphasized the tone with a look of sarcasm on his face.
Buzz
After Zhu Pingan finished his question, there was a chuckle from the audience. Zhang Guolao was possessed, haha, what Master Zhu said was too interesting.
"What do you know? Have you ever been to a battlefield?" Zhao Daying became angry and embarrassed.
"Are you riding backwards?"
Zhu Ping'an looked at Zhao Daying and asked curiously.
"Do you know that things change rapidly on the battlefield? How can..." Zhao Daying was so angry that his voice rose several degrees.
"Are you riding the horse backwards?" Zhu Ping'an asked again.
"You are just a scholar and have never been to the battlefield. How can you know how dangerous fighting is? There are dangers everywhere on the battlefield and you may get injured from all directions." Zhao Daying's face almost turned green. In just these few seconds, he had the urge to strangle Zhu Pingan ten times.
"Oh... are you riding the horse backwards?" Zhu Ping'an said "oh" and asked again.
Next, no matter what Zhao Daying said, Zhu Pingan would respond with "Are you riding a horse backwards?"
Such a sentence in response.
When shooting a person, shoot the horse first; when capturing a thief, capture the leader first.
When you kill a snake, you have to hit it at its most vulnerable part.
This flaw is Zhao Daying's vital point. No matter what Zhao Daying says or how he explains, this arrow wound cannot be explained. How can you be shot in the back while chasing the enemy? No matter what you do, I will hold on to this flaw of yours. No matter how you explain, you can't make up for this flaw.
It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers!
There is no need to refute all the scars on Zhao Daying's back one by one. It is enough to just focus on one. As long as he cannot cover up this one flaw, the image of a brave and fierce general that Zhao Daying has worked hard to create will completely collapse.
"Are you riding backwards?"
Zhao Daying was almost choked by Zhu Ping'an's words. Can't you just say it another way? I can't answer that!
After Zhu Ping'an asked again, Zhao Daying finally thought of a reason, "No, who the hell rides a horse backwards? I got on my horse to chase the Tartars, and was accidentally shot by the Tartar who fell behind!"
"Isn't Lord Zhao chasing the enemy? Why are there Tatars behind us?" Zhu Ping'an asked immediately.
"Didn't I tell you that it's the one that's lagging behind?" Zhao Daying replied impatiently.
"Huh? Lord Zhao, are you chasing the Tatars or racing with them? Why didn't you kill or beat the Tatars after catching up with them, but instead let them fall behind and shoot you?" Zhu Ping'an did not give Zhao Daying time to think, and asked another question as soon as Zhao Daying finished speaking.
"The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't see it, so he took advantage of the opportunity." Zhao Daying broke out in a cold sweat.
"Pfft, Lord Zhao is really joking. Going to chase the Tatars, how come such a big Tatar can't be seen?" Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, then continued, "Even if Lord Zhao didn't see it, what about the subordinates who followed Lord Zhao to chase the Tatars? It's impossible that hundreds of people didn't see it, right?"
"You...know what!"
Zhao Daying was so embarrassed and angry that his neck turned red and the sweat on his forehead flowed down his temples.
"Yes, I just don't understand. If you don't understand, you have to ask, so I am asking Lord Zhao, please help me solve my doubts." Zhu Ping'an nodded cooperatively, bowed and smiled slightly, and asked another question.
WTF
Zhao Daying... ...
