Chapter 276: Meritorious Service for Guilt

Shuren? ”

For a while, Liu Bei's face was solemn, and he didn't come back to his senses after thinking for a while, and after a while, he slowly squinted at Zhuge Liang on the side, seeing that he was still smiling, shaking the feather fan in his hand, and his face was calm and unhurried, and the clouds were light and light.

Looking at Liu Bei's eyes that seemed to be inquiring, Zhuge Liang chuckled and nodded at him when he saw this, signaling him to agree.

After seeing it, Liu Bei, the king of Han, understood, so he no longer hesitated, and walked towards the top of the execution platform.

Then, standing above the execution platform, facing the people gathered around him, he shouted: "Soldiers, gentry and fellow villagers, this time Pound should be beheaded according to the law for committing a major crime!" ”

"But Guan Ping is right, Pang Lingming is a general under his command, and he should be guilty of lax discipline, and now Guan Ping has bowed his head to die instead of Pang De."

"I want to ask you here, are you willing to let Major General Guan die in such a humiliated way?"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei, the king of Han, suddenly showed a sad look on his face without warning, and after a while, a teardrop squeezed into the line of his eyes, looking extremely sad.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should have heard of it!"

"My former general Guan Yunchang, that is, Lone's brother-in-law, he followed in the Lone Blood War more than 100 times in his early years, no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, he was very determined, even if he was desperate and temporarily attached to Cao Thief, Cao Thief moved his heart with gold, silver and jewelry, and Yun Chang's belief was still as solid as a rock."

"In the past few decades, Yun Chang has worked hard and made great achievements, and his son Guan Ping has also guarded the land of Jingxiang for my Han and recovered the lost land."

"It can be said that the Guan family is full of loyalty and loyalty to the Han family, such a person with great achievements, do you think Guan Ping should be executed?"

"No, no......"

"Major General Guan should not have ended up like this."

"Please also ask the King of Han to be gracious!"

For a moment, most of the people gathered around them fell to their knees abruptly, and they all bowed down in unison.

At this time, Liu Bei was still giving full play to his acting skills and continued to tell the public about Guan Ping's advantages, so as to gain the recognition of the people from all sides.

Although Guan Ping's military achievements are great, his prestige is at most limited to the land of Jingxiang.

Shuzhong does not have such a strong appeal!

However, as time went by, more and more people around couldn't help but bow down to Liu Bei's story, and bowed down to Guan Ping and begged for mercy.

"The grass people still hope that King Han will spare General Guan's life!"

"Please also ask the King of Han to be gracious."

shouted loudly, and the people around him shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, General Mi Zhu of An Han and General Zhuge Liang of the Military Division already knew it, and they led their ministers to Liu Bei and pleaded: "The minister also asks the King of Han to be gracious." ”

After that, General An Han Mi Zhu said again: "King Han, although General Guan has the crime of lax discipline, he is also a great achievement, and he has also fought for the Han Dynasty. ”

"General Guan's crime is not to death, please ask the King of Han to be extrajudicially merciful!"

As soon as the words fell, Mi Zhu's face was indifferent, and he slowly retreated.

After speaking, Liu Bei wiped away the tears on his face and said sharply: "Everyone, do you think that General Guan's meritorious deeds can be exempted from disposal?" ”

"Now, Gu will leave Guan Ping's life and death to you, and whether he lives or dies is determined by you and others!"

As soon as these words fell, Liu Bei suddenly slowly led the forbidden army to retreat to the downtown area and return to the palace.

He really didn't care.

At this moment, the people around him were greatly touched, and they couldn't help but talk about it in whispers.

"King Han really doesn't care?"

"It means that General Guan's life and death are in the hands of grass people like us? It's incredible, why do I feel like I'm in a dream? ”

"You say, do you want to take the opportunity to get rid of Guan Ping?"

"Don't talk nonsense, General Guan is a heroic man, I have to ask him for help, how can I harm him?"

For a while, there were shocks among the people from all walks of life, and there were Cao Wu spies who plotted to get rid of Guan Ping, but more people asked Guan Ping.

About two quarters of an hour passed.

The people from all walks of life shouted in unison: "I will ask the King of Han to be extrajudicial and don't deal with General Guan." ”

"The king of Hanzhong is benevolent and righteous."

These words fell like a sound that shook the sky, like a thunderbolt in the nine heavens!

A roar, as if the city was faintly heard in a radius of several miles!

At this moment, Zhuge Liang held a feather fan in his hand and smiled lightly, as if the development of things had been predicted, and smiled slowly.

As for General An Han Mi Zhu and the ministers such as Yi and Guo Youzhi, they were slightly surprised, they really didn't expect that their lord's acting skills were still as good as ever.

In just a few words, one or two expressions, almost the people of the city bowed their heads!

On this basis, all the ministers obeyed.

Even if this is replaced by Cao Cao, it may not be possible.

Seeing that the people from all walks of life were shouting, Deng Ai, who had already helped Pang De untie the rope on the side of the stage, couldn't help but show joy on his face.

Without him, Guan Ping was saved!

Seeing this at this time, Pang De on the other side also said softly with a look of pain on his face: "Thank God, the young general is fine." ”

"It's all blame, blame virtue for the young general."

At this time, Pound also had a look of remorse.

Immediately after, Deng Ai put down the spear in his hand and rushed to the execution table!

At this time, the military general Zhuge Liang also smiled, calmly stepped onto the stage, looked around at the people, and laughed: "Haha! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the King of Han has an order, although Guan Ping's death crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped!"

"The King of Han decided that Guan Ping would be exempted from the death penalty, but the rebellious general and the Marquis of Yang would be deprived of it, demoted to a concubine, and he would be assigned to the army as a concubine for meritorious service."

"Limited to one month, if you can make great achievements again, the official will be reinstated!"

"But if it is still unremarkable, the punishment for several crimes will be combined and dealt with together."

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang said sharply.

When the words fell, the surrounding people couldn't help but show surprise.

They all thought that as long as they unanimously waived the death penalty, they would be fine.

But he didn't expect that Liu Bei, the king of Han, would deprive him of his official title and degrade him to a concubine.

This is something that the people did not expect!

Then, Zhuge Liang slowly looked at Guan Ping on the side and chuckled: "Guan Ping, have you ever heard the order of the King of Han?" ”

"Have you ever been convinced?"

After that, Guan Ping's face was serious, and he said sharply: "The last general Guan Ping respectfully obeys the king's order, long live the King of Han!" ”

A voice settled.

Without the slightest hesitation, he agreed.

So far.

With Guan Ping's intelligence, how could he not see Liu Bei's plan?

His purpose was naturally not to forcibly release Guan Ping.

Rather, it is necessary to borrow the pressure of the people to get rid of the adverse effects of unprovoked patrol soldiers and indifferent treatment.

After all, if the people in the city were willing to persuade Guan Ping unanimously, the loss of the prestige of the Han would not be too high.

At the same time, he also achieved his goal of saving Guan Ping.

The so-called "killing is not the goal", solving the problem is.

Just think about it, a famous general with the qualifications of a famous general, how could Liu Bei give up easily?

Afar.

Around the corner.

At this moment, looking at the lively scene around the downtown area, Liu Bei, who was surrounded by the warriors of the forbidden army and closely protected by him, couldn't help but sigh, and muttered: "It seems that this play has been successfully performed!" ”

"Whether the official can be reinstated in January depends on your ability."

The so-called drama should be done in a full set!

It can be said that Liu Bei has used this trick perfectly.

After watching the groan carefully, he smiled lightly, shook lightly and bowed away.

Downtown.

After waiting for Guan Ping to be pardoned, the ministers and the people also dispersed one after another.

Only when everyone entered and left, Deng Ai actually rushed forward, first slowly untied the Guan Ping who was bound by the rope, and then Pang De suddenly rushed wildly, with layers of tears on his face.

"Major General, the last general can't stand you."

"Major General, deal with De, this is all De's mistake and dragged you down."

As soon as the words fell, Pound's face turned pale, and he bowed down.

After hearing this, Guan Ping looked indifferent, glanced at him coldly, and shouted: "Pang Lingming, Ben will give you a chance, if this situation occurs, Ben will definitely execute you personally." ”

"Did you hear that?"

"Get up!"

A burst of shouting.

He was so angry that his scalp was numb, but he was helpless!

What to do?

This situation?

After that, Guan Ping left angrily.

He had just been among the ministers and the people, and his complexion was excellent.

But in fact, at this time, he was already holding back his anger.

Now, how can you not vent?

Moments later.

On the execution platform, Pound was really the only one left standing here.

Squinting his eyes and slowly looking at the back of Guan Ping's departing, Pang De saw that there was no one around, and the tears that had long been uncontrollable couldn't help but surge again, and he was also crying out in pain.

After crying for a long time, he suddenly needed to turn back and think.

The mind kept pumping.

"Major General, thank you for saving your life!"

"In the future, De's life is yours, and I will obey you unconditionally!"

As soon as the words fell, Pound's face was stained with tears, but he was secretly thinking in his heart.

In fact, things have developed to this point, and anyone with a discerning eye can see what is going on.

After all, according to the law of "Shu Ke", Pound committed a felony, and beheading is a sure thing.

But why did Guan Ping prevent the executioner from being beheaded and voluntarily die in place of his generals?

Anyone with a discerning eye should know Guan Ping's background and ability.

How could Liu Bei, the king of Han, execute him?

After Pound was rescued, he slowly figured it out.

In the final analysis, the change just now is actually just a play.

A play that has the best of both worlds.

It is not only able to execute no one, but also to preserve the majesty of the Han Dynasty.

That's it!

Judging by the results, the show was extremely successful.

Because, Guan Ping went to die instead of his generals, which is a common sense thing.

And Guan Ping was not pardoned by Liu Bei!

It was also at the unanimous request of the people of the city that the death penalty was abolished.

And that's not all.

Liu Bei, the king of Han, did not protect him, although he was exempted from the death penalty, he eliminated all the officials of Guan Ping, not to mention, and demoted him to a concubine.

This kind of punishment is not ruthless!

This is also enough to block the mouth of the world.

Even if the world can see that this is acting afterwards, there is nothing good to do!

This acting is common sense, and there are no flaws at all.

Merely.

Although it is acting, but now he knows that Guan Ping was demoted to a commoner because of himself, and when he entered the army as a criminal general to make meritorious contributions, he was quite unhappy in his heart.

After pondering carefully, he said secretly: "Young General, since this matter is caused by me, then I will do my best to assist you and help you reinstate your office." ”

"No, it should be a higher level!"

For a while, Pound secretly swore an oath, his fists clenched, and his face was serious.

……

Palace.

Side hall.

"Kong Ming, ...... are you?"

At this time, Liu Bei stood slowly, slowly looking at Zhuge Liang who was holding a feather fan in front of him, with a look of doubt on his face.

"Kong Ming, is it really appropriate to demote Ping'er to a concubine?"

"If the cloud chief knows, then ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei stroked his gray beard at the moment, and couldn't help but show a worried look on his face.

As soon as the words fell.

Zhuge Liang's face was still loose, and he shook his feather fan and said softly: "Actually, my lord, you don't have to worry about this matter!" ”

"Yun Chang is like a brother to you, he won't question your decision."

"As we all know, Yun Chang is also extremely strict with Ping'er on weekdays, and he must be able to figure out your good intentions."

Speaking of this, he changed his words and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "After all, the majesty of the Han cannot be trampled on!" ”

"The laws formulated in the "Shu Branch" cannot be violated, otherwise they will be useless in the future, and the territory will definitely be boiling with resentment and banditry!"

"However, we have been extraordinarily gracious and decided not to behead Pang De, so if we want to convince the people of Bashu, the only thing is to treat Ping'er ruthlessly."

"Only by treating Ping'er harshly, can the law of my Han Dynasty become more stable."

"Think about it, doesn't this move tell the people of the world that even the sons and nephews of their brothers can be abolished with a painful determination, so who can't abolish it?"

"The so-called money to buy horse bones is nothing more than this truth, and everyone will see the case of Ping'er in the future, and they will abide by the law."

"Lord, isn't this what we want the most?"

A seat of words, slowly settled.

For a while, Liu Bei, the king of Han, couldn't help but think slowly.

Half-loud kung fu.

He whispered: "Alas, why don't you know what Kong Ming said about these orphans? ”

"But Ping'er's co-ordination ability, maybe Kong Ming, you can also see it."

"Now that I'm demoting him to a concubine, how long will it take for him to be promoted again?"

"Two years? Three years? Five years? ”

"Isn't that a few years like, my Han will lack a general?"

As soon as these words fell, Zhuge Liang in front of him couldn't help but smile, and he smiled: "Hehe! ”

"Don't worry, lord!"

"Based on Kong Ming's understanding of Ping'er for more than half a year, he often wins more with less, defeats the strong with the weak, and can fight back to win in adversity, but has a big advantage."

"Therefore, according to what Liang has seen, as long as there is a war, then with Ping'er's ability, it will be extremely easy to make meritorious contributions."

Speaking of this, he said confidently: "Liang estimates that if Ping'er wants to be reinstated, it will ......take no more than three months at the latest."
