Chapter 029: Seeing the demeanor of the nobility

Gongzijie's city gate was opened, and Zhao Yong and Feiyi stood side by side in the carriage, they had this identity.

Zhao Xing didn't share the car with them, because of the crowding, and because it was difficult to talk to Feiyi, there was a little awkwardness in competition between the two sides. Now Zhao Xing has his own chariot, which is the one who captured the white-bearded old man.

The car is very luxurious, the decoration is very luxurious, the reason for this is because the white-bearded old man is Gongzijie's father, the patriarch of his family, also called the head of the family.

and entered the open gate. The last few young men rushed up and did the final fight. Of course, they can't stop the torrent of history.

The last male of the family fell, and then he saw a group of gray-haired old men standing in front of the magnificent palace, and behind them was a large group of children and women.

They didn't resist, they didn't even resist with words, they just waited calmly for the judgment of the victors, for the fate of a defeated family.

After getting off the chariot, Zhao Yong and Fei Yi bowed deeply to them, this is not the humiliation of the victor, this is the respect for the loser who fought to the death.

Then Zhao Yong took a step back, and Fei Yi stepped forward and began to announce the guilt of the vanquished.

Zhao Xing admired the ability of the superior to fabricate charges against people. Fei Yi stood there, without even a verdict, and announced the ten major crimes of the Gongzijie family without pause, as if this extermination of his family was not a temporary decision of everyone in Junqiu, but had already done the fullest investigation and evidence collection, conducted court collegiality, and conducted a full debate.

But if you listen carefully to these ten crimes, none of them are related to the country, they are all related to Zhao Yong and Zhao Yong's identity.

In this way, it is done, and this is not a punishment of the state, it is not an act of the state. This has nothing to do with the struggle for the throne, this is purely a family battle, a personal grudge between the crown prince Zhao Yong's family and the Gongzijie family.

In this way, the state cannot interfere, this is the rule of the Warring States. In this way, the State's judicial proceedings cannot be interfered with. and clearly announced to the world that Zhao Yong did not want to expand the battle for the throne. Let those who support Gongzijie not have a desperate fish on their own side.

This is the wisdom of politicians.

In fact, Gongzijie's foundation has been completely uprooted, and he no longer has the capital to compete with Zhao Yong for the throne. Under the means of cutting through the chaos with a quick knife, in fact, the tragic fighting and turmoil after each previous struggle for the throne have been eliminated.

And those who are optimistic about Gongzijie can also feel from Zhao Yong's thunderbolt method that although Zhao Yong is young, he is not a good bully and has the ability to govern things.

Although this kind of means and ability is Zhao Xing's, this is just a detail, and the details don't care. The credit of the subordinates must be the leader, and the teacher must do the same.

At the same time, Gongzijie has become a lost dog, and there is no capital to fight, so what are you messing with with a promising Gongzijie? For the sake of the family's interests and long-term survival, everyone will also draw a line with Gongzijie.

After Fei Yi announced the guilt of Gongzijie's family, he finally pronounced the verdict that the man in the clan was guilty of death; There is a capital offense for a pregnant woman. The retainers of the clan are not guilty. The rest of the women were enslaved.

The slaves of the common people in the clan belonged to Zhao Yong, the victor, and were waiting for another distribution.

Then Zhao Yong stepped forward again and saluted an old man standing at the front: "If Gongzijie flees or dies, the sacrifice of your ancestors will be replaced by me." ”

The old man let out a sigh of relief and gave Zhao Yong a salute: "Please." Then he said calmly to the clansmen behind him: "Then what do we have to fear, what do we still have nostalgia, let's go." Then the big sleeves flew and calmly walked towards the executioner.

This is a model of a gentleman.

The peerless race does not stop the sacrifice, and a man should be left behind to continue the ancestral incense sacrifice. Shang Tang destroyed Xia Ji and moved his people to Nanchao. Zhou destroyed Shang and sealed it in Song and Korea. The Tian clan was on behalf of Qi, and after banishing the Jiang clan, he was at sea.

It is a gentleman's rule to destroy its country and its clan, but to leave people to sacrifice to their ancestors. In this way, if you have to destroy Gongzijie's entire family, you must bear the sacrifice of Gongzijie's ancestors, which is also the etiquette of a gentleman.

The decision on the disposition has been announced. Zhao Xing was so stunned that he had nothing to say.

Since ancient times, how many gentlemen have been fighting, this atmosphere has continued to the Republic of China, what a bitter and bitter political enemy, as long as he admits defeat and goes to the wilderness, he can take his family property to a place to be a rich man. Don't be afraid of a comeback, everyone will fight again, there is no such thing as in front of you, even the pregnant ones are not left, this is the real cutting of the grass and eradication.

Zhao Xing couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward to intercede for those old and weak women and children.

Zhao Yong's plea for Zhao Xing was a little soft-hearted.

But before Zhao Yong hesitated, Fei Yi stood up and refuted Zhao Xing's woman's benevolence: "The family struggle has always been your life and death, otherwise you will be an orphan of the Zhao family." And this kind of ending means has to be done.

A country is small in size, has a small population, and every country is at odds with its neighbors. The cycle of revenge and private fighting will make a country in internal turmoil, constantly draining its national strength, and giving foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it. When Chong'er was not killed, Chong'er was restored to the country, and the country was lost. ”

Then he said meaningfully: "According to Mr.'s words, toss, our country can not withstand the internal toss, and we must nip all the possibility of tossing in the bud." In this way, we can unanimously defend the outside world and ensure that our Zhao State will not perish. ”

At the time of this, the execution had already begun.

The old men silently walked up to the execution ground, saluted the executioners, and then stuck their necks out so that the axe men could effortlessly cut off their heads.

This group died, and another group silently came up and continued the process.

Then there were the children, who came up in batches, with the most gentle expressions, following the most aristocratic demeanor, and were killed. The pregnant women also stepped forward one by one to wait.

There was no cursing and scolding in the entire execution ground, let alone crying and pleading.

"This is a true gentleman." Feiyi couldn't help but admire. "When they are defeated, they admit defeat, and when they admit defeat, they accept the arrangement of the victor. There were no complaints, no anger, no one to blame, they still maintained the demeanor of gentlemen and aristocrats. Giving gifts to the executioners is not to hope that they will have more strength, not to pray that they will make themselves less painful, but to thank them for sending them a ride so that they can die with dignity and dignity. ”

Zhao Xing was speechless, he didn't want to ask for forgiveness for them anymore in the face of such true gentlemen and true nobles. Because he understood that if he lived because of his supplication, it was humiliation, the humiliation of a noble gentleman.

To be able to die with dignity is more joyful to them than to live in humiliation.

Zhao Xing decided that he wanted to be a noble gentleman who only kills others and does not get killed in this world. And once he became a nobleman who was killed, then - run away directly.

It's better to die than to live.
