The book is picked up again.

After everyone figured it out, one of them couldn't bear it, and stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Lord... Lord ......"

"Uh-huh......?!" Before the man finished speaking, he saw Cao Cao snort coldly, his eyes widened, and asked, "What do you have to say?" Are you going to intercede for these heinous people?! ”

"The subordinates would never dare to have such thoughts......" The person who spoke shuddered when he heard Cao Cao's words, and then quickly shook his head.

Just kidding, although he did intend to intercede for these families, after seeing Cao Cao's expression, he understood that Cao Cao was determined to exterminate the family!

Isn't he standing up now that he is acting against Cao?

If it was before. He also dared to stand up and say a few words.

But after this incident, he understood that Cao Cao's methods were far beyond his imagination!

Even the family that was high in his eyes in the past was not wiped out by Cao Cao, let alone a petty official from a civilian background.

Therefore, after hearing Cao Cao's words, he immediately thought of a reason and said, "The subordinates think... I think these people are too hateful!

The subordinates asked the lord to severely punish these people, and the subordinates felt that the three tribes of non-Yi could not atone for their sins! ”

As the saying goes, friends of the dead are not dead and poor, and now, this official no longer dares to excuse the people of the family, but turns his head and condemns the family.

“！！！” After hearing this person's words, all the heads of the family stared at this person with cannibalistic eyes!

Still, for some reason, none of them spoke, just looked at it.

"Humph!" After Cao Cao heard the official's words, he snorted coldly, then looked at him expressionlessly, and said: "You are right, but Lone is not a murderous person, so the Yi three clans don't need it." ”

Just kidding, these families have marriages with each other, if the three clans are really Yi, then Cao Cao has to find out all the families in the world and kill them!

Moreover, maybe there is Cao Cao himself within these three clans, so the Yi three clans are just a joke.

"It's the subordinates who are not thoughtful, please atone for your sins." After hearing Cao Cao's words, the official who stood up immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead and bowed deeply to Cao Cao.

"Since you also know that you are not thoughtful, then you will be punished alone, and you will probably have no objections, right?"

Cao Cao didn't intend to let this person go, when this person stood up just now, Cao Cao knew that he wanted to intercede for the family.

In other words, this person must have some connection with the family, otherwise he would not intercede for the family.

And the family is Cao Cao's enemy, and the officials who have connections with the enemy, how dare Cao Cao use it?

Therefore, he planned to use this excuse to demote this person!

Originally, Cao Cao thought that as long as he opened his mouth, this person would admit the guilt with interest, so as to save his life.

But he didn't expect this person to be an official fan, he regarded his official position as more important than his life!

Therefore, although he was scared in his heart, he still shook his head after hearing Cao Cao's words, and retorted loudly: "The lord's words are wrong!

The subordinates just made this suggestion, why did the lord punish his subordinates?

What's wrong with the subordinates?!

Could it be that the lord wants to punish his subordinates for their sins?! ”

"......" for such people who don't know the times

, Cao Cao really didn't know what to say.

So he nodded and said expressionlessly: "What you said is reasonable, since this is the case, then Gu will not punish you, you should step down." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, lord......" After hearing Cao Cao's words, the man immediately thanked him, and then happily returned to his seat.

However, he didn't see it, and the eyes of everyone around him were full of pity.

They could hear Cao Cao's words!

If this person can understand current affairs and let Cao Cao punish him, Cao Cao may also open the net and transfer him to a remote place as an official, so that he will not be out of sight and out of mind.

But now that this person is so ignorant of current affairs, I am afraid that he has angered Cao Cao!

In the end, I am afraid that his result will not only be disgraced and resigned, but also his life!

However, everyone didn't have any friendship with this person, so they didn't remind him, but watched the joke.

After the troublemakers retreated, Cao Cao looked around and asked, "What do you think you should do with the people of the family?" ”

Li Zhi, who had already prepared, knew that it was time for him to come out and play a supporting role after hearing Cao Cao's words.

Therefore, he immediately stood up, bowed with a smile, and said: "Brother Meng De is merciful and doesn't want to involve a lot, so in my opinion, it is better to behead these main criminals, and as for those accomplices, they can be punished lightly." ”

"Lenient punishment?" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhidi's words, he frowned and asked, "These people have committed a heinous crime, if the punishment is too light, won't others follow suit?" ”

"It's okay!" Li Zhi chuckled and shook his head, and said, "This so-called "light punishment" is only relative.

In the following context, they were to be deprived of all their family property, and then they were demoted to concubines and forbidden to hold any official positions.

Finally, punish them for not teaching students in any way!

In this way, it is enough to make others dare not do it again! ”

The officials in the "......" hall who were better with the family looked very ugly after hearing Li Zhi's punishment!

Although Li Zhi's punishment does not seem to be heavy, it is actually very serious!

For those people of the family, not allowing them to call themselves scholars, let alone holding any official positions, and the most excessive, they are not able to teach students in any way, which is simply cutting off the inheritance of a family to life!

In this way, even if those family members can survive, I am afraid that they will end up depressed, and most people may not be able to stand this blow and die suicide!

However, although the punishment was severe, it was less severe than the sins they had committed.

Of course, the premise of all this is that they have indeed sinned!

"Hahaha......" Unlike others, Cao Cao's eyes lit up after hearing Li Zhidi's words, and he laughed and said: "Brother Xingzhi is very good, since this is the case, then do it!"

The principal offender is beheaded, and the accomplice is reduced to a commoner, and he is never allowed to enter the office, and he is not allowed to teach his students in any way, not even his children!

Violators will be punished as treason! ”

Cao Cao is more ruthless than Li Zhi, Li Zhi finally left a glimmer of life, but Cao Cao even deprived him of this line of life!

After Cao Cao's order was issued, those people from the families who were punished not only could not accept students, but even themselves

Neither can his own son teach!

In other words, even if they are full of wealth, their son can only be illiterate!

For these families who have been passed down for thousands of years, this kind of punishment is simply worse than cutting them with a thousand knives!

"The lord is wise!" However, no matter how uncomfortable the people of the family are, it has nothing to do with those non-family officials.

So after they heard Cao Cao's order, they immediately shouted in unison.

"Hahaha......" Cao Cao laughed out loud after seeing everyone shouting "Wise", his face was full of pride.

He can't be distracted, because cleaning up the family means that he will not have the slightest disobedience to him in the future, and he can completely control all the people he will follow.

In this way, his hope of dominating the world is even greater!

After thinking of this, Cao Cao waved his hand with excitement on his face and said, "Someone! Bring these family heads down and show them to the public on a certain day! ”

Cao Cao was afraid that there would be many dreams at night and something would go wrong, so he was impatient to kill the people of the family, but ......

"Wait!" After Cao Cao's words were settled, Li Zhi suddenly stopped him.

"Uh......" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Zhi stopping him, and then asked puzzledly: "Is there anything else going on with Brother Xingzhi?" ”

"These people from the family can't be killed yet!"

"Why?!" After Cao Cao listened to Li Zhidi's words, his brows furrowed tightly.

If the person who spoke was not Li Zhi, he would have had a seizure a long time ago!

But he knew that it was impossible for Li Zhi to betray him, and Li Zhi was the sworn enemy of the family, so Li Zhi must have a purpose in stopping him, so Cao Cao would be patient to ask.

"Hehe......" After Li Zhi chuckled, he pointed to those people from the family and said unhurriedly: "Don't Brother Meng De think that these people are the best sacrifices?" ”

"Sacrifices?" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he was full of confusion and asked puzzledly, "What sacrifice?" ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said, "In another three years at most, the princes and Brother Meng De may have a decisive battle.

When the time comes, won't Brother Meng De need sacrifices when he goes on the expedition?

In the old days, we used sacrifices of either death row prisoners or three animals.

Although these sacrifices are barely qualified, if they are in a decisive battle, these sacrifices are not enough.

And now, with these thousand-year-old family heads as sacrifices, wouldn't they be much stronger than those death row prisoners and livestock?

Moreover, in this way, it can also show the kindness of Brother Mengde, so that these family heads can reunite with their families for another year or two. ”

"......" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhidi's words, he was silent.

Although Cao Cao didn't believe in ghosts and gods like Li Zhi, he also knew that the reason why Li Zhi did this was to boost the morale of the army.

In the past, the reason why sacrifices were required when going out on expeditions was because most of the soldiers in the army believed in ghosts and gods.

They believed that offering the best sacrifice before the expedition would allow the gods to bless them with a smooth victory over their opponents, and the better the sacrifice, the stronger the morale of the army!

Now, if these family heads are really regarded as sacrifices, I am afraid that the military spirit will reach its peak when they go out on the expedition!

After thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately nodded and said, "......"
