Chapter 1041: Military Hearts and Public Opinion (II)
Although the rod wound on his back was not light, and the pain was even more invading like a tide, Sun Tu's mind was still clear and sharp, and he only understood the reason in a moment.
Of course, Hu Rong's arrival was not because Tong Mu lost his mouth, on the contrary, this was deliberately done by him, in order to make himself suffer less through her, after all, even if he was as strong as him, he would have to stay in bed for a while if he ate a hundred military sticks, even if he only suffered fifty or sixty canes now, the injury was not light.
But in front of everyone's eyes, Sun Tu couldn't borrow the slope to get off the donkey, so he could only make a bitter face and said softly: "Rong'er, be obedient, you go home first, if you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk about it when I go home, don't mess with our army's affairs anymore." ”
"No!" Hu Rong looked resolute, bit her lip lightly and shook her head categorically in refusal: "I know that you are my husband, I can't watch you suffer like this." If anyone dares to hurt you, I will never let him feel better! After speaking, as soon as he waved the mandarin duck double knife in his hand, he immediately frightened a few soldiers with sticks on the side, and hurriedly avoided the side, for fear that he would really be injured.
The people below are getting more and more excited, the scene of such a wife saving her husband is very rare, only in the drama and storytelling, but now it is happening alive in front of him, and the person involved is still the famous Yuehou Sun General, this is really a feast for the eyes, even addictive.
Such a welcome development not only did not make the people and soldiers dissatisfied, but made them admire Sun Tu more and more. Because only a real hero can make a woman completely desperate to save him, and everyone can't see the slightest feeling of fraud in it, it's all from the bottom of the heart.
"Rong'er, don't mistake me, how can things in the army be child's play? Since my Sun Tu has promised everyone to accept this hundred military sticks, there is no reason to give up halfway, otherwise how can I win the trust of the soldiers and the world? Sun Tu shouted loudly again, but this time the words that should have been said to his wife spread far away and fell into the ears of hundreds of people in front of them, which also moved them again.
But Hu Rong was still unmoved, and tears rippled in her eyes: "I know that you are a big hero and need to worry about many things." But I'm just a little girl, I just want my husband and family to be safe......"
Sun Tu took a sharp breath, and just about to say something more, suddenly several soldiers around him knelt down: "General...... I would rather be punished, and I don't want to hurt the general in the slightest! ”
was stunned for a moment, and all the soldiers surrounding the high platform also turned around and bowed down in unison, and said loudly: "Please also ask the general to think about the overall situation, and don't hurt yourself because of the mistakes of your subordinates!" ”
In the end, all the soldiers who were injured were also heartily shouted: "General, I will know my mistake and will not dare to violate military law in the future, and I ask you to think of the world and take back your fate." ”
"Please take back your fame, don't be punished again!" Thousands of soldiers shouted at the same time. Then this mood spread again, and hundreds of people also shouted movingly: "General Sun, I know that you are selfless and military law is the most important, we are willing to believe in the thieves and soldiers, and please don't hurt yourself again!" ”
First dozens of people, then hundreds and thousands, and finally almost everyone present shouted loudly and pleaded: "Please also ask General Sun to stop being tortured, I don't dare to doubt the general anymore, suspect the soldiers of the thief army, ......" The voice gathered in one place, spread far away, went to heaven and earth, and almost spread throughout the city.
Even Sun Tu never expected such a good effect, and at this point, there was really no need for him to be tortured by this military stick. He's not so brainless, after all, his body is his own, and if he is really seriously injured, the next thing will not be easy to do.
With his mind set, he finally nodded slightly, and then struggled to get up. However, the injury was not light, and his body was weak, so he couldn't get up this time. Fortunately, with Hu Rong by his side, Sun Tu was able to stand up slowly and bow to the Quartet with great difficulty.
Someone had already handed the megaphone on the side to him, and Sun Tu held this thing again, and said loudly: "Thank you, folks, all the soldiers can trust my Sun Tu and protect my Sun Tu." This really moved Sun Tu and made me feel ashamed, and it also made me more firm in my original belief that I must let the people of my Han family live a stable life.
"Today, since you are all so invited, if Sun Tu doesn't accept it, he really doesn't know what to do, then he has the right to write down the remaining thirty-six military sticks. In the future, if there are any more lieutenant generals and soldiers of our army who commit crimes and injure innocent people, Sun Tu will come again to receive the punishment. ”
When all the soldiers heard this, their faces turned solemn, and they shouted one after another: "General, I will abide by military law in the future, and I will not dare to do anything to hurt the people and harm the people, otherwise, I am willing to die!" ”
Sun Tu nodded slightly, swept over the black crowd in front of him, looked at the larger crowd, and said: "In addition, in addition to the soldiers here, in fact, there are more than a dozen military officers and soldiers who committed military law in Tokyo this time, and their crimes are particularly serious, and they are full of murders. Although there is still a previous situation in this, it was because of the grievances of the year that Qi Huan, the general of our army, led his troops to kill the people and destroy the people.
"But murder is murder after all, and Benhou will never shield his subordinates in this matter. So I have decided that tomorrow, Qi Huan and his sixteen subordinates will all be beheaded in public to set an example! I hope you can forgive us for the mistakes we have made! As he spoke, he endured the pain on his back again, bowed down and clasped his fists and saluted.
The people really have nothing to say now, if they still had a pimple in their hearts before, then now they are really completely convinced, convinced! This General Sun is really fair, and he doesn't discount his words at all. He said that military law is as big as the sky, and he really did not talk about military law and ignore personal feelings. Those who robbed and injured others were all beaten with military sticks, and those who killed people were also compensated with their lives, and even he himself was beaten with dozens of military sticks in front of everyone in order to pay for the sins of his subordinates. Let's ask, from ancient times to the present, is there still such a person in power who takes the lives of the people seriously and regards military law as the way of heaven?
Even if you are reluctant, you have to admit that today's Tokyo is actually in the hands of Sun Tu. Not to mention these ant-like people, they are the Great Song Dynasty officials in the palace, but in fact, their lives are also in their hands. Just ask, how can he not hurt himself, it can only show that Sun Tu really regards the people as the most important thing, and military law as a rule that must be followed.
Seeing everyone's respectful eyes, Sun Tu was relieved that his suffering was indeed not in vain, and the people's hearts had been fully owned by him, which paved the way for his next actions.
While the iron was hot, Sun Tu immediately said: "Ben Hou said before that I came here today for only two things. Now that the first one has been explained to you, let's talk about the second one. I guess you still remember the real purpose of my troops coming south this time, right?
"On the side of the Qing monarch, I did not hesitate to come here at the risk of being accused of rebellion, in order to kill the traitors on the side of the Qing monarch! As for who is a traitor in the court, the people naturally have a rod and scale in their hearts, and Ben Hou also announced the whole city as early as two days ago, calling on the villagers who have grievances to go to the Criminal Department and Kaifeng Mansion to state their complaints. In the past few days, Ben Hou has received thousands of grievances, and the number of officials involved has reached hundreds. The most serious of them is the six thieves led by Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and other important ministers of the imperial court!
"Over the years, they have deceived their superiors and subordinates, and have done a lot of evil things, causing hundreds of people to be ruined, but the bitter master has no way to complain, so he can only endure silently. But today, Ben Hou can tell you that your grievances have taken a turn for the better, and I will administer justice to you! Just now, I have sent my subordinate Tong Mu into the palace to meet the Son of Heaven, Chen Caijing and other traitors with hundreds of crimes, and ask the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to behead this traitorous minister.
"I believe even more that with the sage of His Majesty, although he was deceived by the traitorous ministers for a while, in the face of such conclusive evidence and complaints, he will wake up, kill the traitors, and return justice to the people of the world. Just wait for tomorrow, right here, the imperial court will behead Cai Jing and punish 43 corrupt officials and traitors who committed heinous crimes, as well as their children, just waiting for you to come and take a look! ”
Sun Tu's words stopped here, but the scene fell into silence again. Everyone looked at each other in a daze, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and many people even felt that they were hallucinating, auditory hallucinations, how could they hear that the imperial court would behead Cai Jing and other important ministers?
It wasn't until they noticed that everyone around them showed similar puzzled expressions, and everyone finally became convinced that this was real and not a dream. Someone twisted his thigh, and then after screaming in pain, his eyes lit up again, and he cheered loudly: "General Sun is wise, Your Majesty is Shengming!" ”
"General Sun is wise, Your Majesty is Shengming!" In a moment, tens of thousands of people shouted at the same time, and everyone was boiling and excited, thinking of yelling and shouting to show their excitement. They have been waiting for this day for too long, so long that almost everyone thinks that this is an impossible dream, but today, Sun Tu actually told everyone so bluntly that the end of Cai Jing and other traitors has really arrived!
Even the ordinary people who went to the government to sue those officials before couldn't believe that one of their lawsuits could really push those high-ranking and unreachable big people into a desperate situation.
Waves of cheers spread out from here in all directions, like a tidal wave, to the Imperial City, to the outer city, and then to the outside of Tokyo. Perhaps it won't be long before this astonishing news spreads throughout the Great Song Dynasty, making every one of the people who have suffered greatly rejoice and shout for the Holy Ming of the Imperial Court.
It is said that what Qianfu refers to will end without a problem, but in fact, those who do a lot of evil are not cursed to death by the curses of the people, only by violence can they be completely destroyed, and violence can be used to control violence!
At this moment, Sun Tu's prestige among the people has reached a new high, and he has completely covered the entire imperial court.
