Section 16 The Righteousness of Eastern Xia

The case has been fully dissected, and no one dares to assert that Dia Bird's decision was wrong, and when they are difficult to weigh, the authority of the king is enough to weigh it.

As a result, the decision-making circles around him were leveraged, and opinions gradually converged.

The important ministers on the periphery are still interceding, and they are afraid of being burned by Qing'a and Nalan Shanxiong, but under the pressure of the outside world, they heard that Dia Bird's old subordinates are also involved, and they also sent people to come, Mingli is asking the court how to judge, then in fact, it is not that he is afraid that Dia Bird will be biased, and he will not come out, and he will be criticized by the same clan and even the majority of the people in the future. In Eastern Xia, politics and law were separated, and officials naturally pushed the results to the judge who judged the matter, and turned around to find the judge who decided the matter, but the judge told him to collect the evidence, and then quote the scriptures.

Since they could not be asked by the government and the judiciary, they had no choice but to probe the wind of Dia Bird.

But before they could probe, Diao consulted them first.

He set the time and place for the trial of the case, ordered that enough famous people be brought from the prefectures of Dingxia Youyan by bus, and wrote letters to Delentai and other important generals, explaining the situation one by one, and informing them: "This is the case of this case, and as for which clan will be involved more and which will be involved less in the future, it should not be something that you feel troubled, resentful, or suspicious, even if you think which side is lighter or heavier. Dongxia a country was built in a lonely hand, there are also your wishes and beliefs, when the lonely once said, the country of Dongxia, there will be no ethnic distinction, all the people are the people of the Dongxia country, should be regarded as equal, the mortals are the people of the Dongxia, the clan of forgetting, only remember the loyalty, bravery, faith, goodness, kindness, filial piety, I believe you are also the same as the lonely, the same now, the same in the future. Only when you are like Lone, can the lives of the people of Dongxia be cherished by each other, so that they can live and cultivate in peace, get along with each other, and do not distinguish between each other. For this reason, we have also formulated the Great Xia Law to distinguish those who are wrong, those who are wrong, those who are guilty, those who are innocent, and those who make mistakes despite their unintentionality. It can be said that the common problem before us now is not who bears more responsibility for this fighting accident, but that we should make up our minds to prevent this kind of thing from happening, and if persuasion cannot stop it, then we cannot use persuasion. Now, at the feet of Gu, dozens of lives have been lost forever, the older of them is over sixty, and the younger one is only fifteen or six years old, and he has not died under the sharp blade of the enemy, nor has he died of disease, but he has died in the fight of his own people, perhaps because Gu has not let the people of the whole country know that such a thing is not allowed to happen in the country of Dongxia. With the public and wise, what can I do alone? ”

Yeqing A was the first to reply, and said: "Since I have followed the king, I am already an Anu Achen, and I dare not call myself a brother, what the king says, I will obey the order, even if there are thousands of tigers and wolves, I will not hesitate, this time there are clansmen involved, I am afraid that the king will not handle it properly, so that the Mengzat people will be separated from morality, but they are also entrusted by others, and want to intercede, but I didn't expect the king to ask my opinions and opinions first." I think the king really thinks so highly of me. I grew up in the tribe, what insight can I give the king advice, think about it, but think about it, but think of many things that have happened, when I was eleven years old, my uncle saw other children playing in our pasture, drove after each other, and ran over the children's hands and feet...... At that time, Yeliuhua was only four years old, and the enemy said that he was coming, and the horse's hooves were overwhelming, and Yeliuhua was so frightened that he cried, and stood in front of the flatbed truck at a loss, so I dragged her, put her behind the wheel, took a felt blanket and covered her, and simply jumped down the biting river and hid in it. When I grew up, whenever I thought about these years, I wondered if someone had stopped the small things, would there still be that war that had been fought intermittently for three or four years? But who can stop it? That war couldn't, but the current king of Eastern Xia could. The king said that such a thing should not be allowed, and that no matter what means were taken, I think it was a gift to the Mamzats, and he was right. So, I support any decision of the king. ”

Delencte and others also quickly replied, expressing unconditional support.

Only Nalan Shanxiong was afraid of being played by Dia Bird's strategy during the war, and he was afraid that he would be pushed out by Dia Bird, and he would be looked down upon by all the party people, so he wrote the latest, but said: "Although Your Majesty knows that the impact of this matter is very bad, Your Majesty is afraid that you must kill some people, no matter what the minister says or says, he will not change his original intention, but he still hopes to forgive the people of our party more, after all, they are all ...... who support His Majesty."

Diao is also well aware of Nalan Shanxiong's actions.

He did not write another letter to Nalan Shanxiong to explain, but asked people to prepare as scheduled, and he went to the Northern Plains.

When he arrived in the North Plains, the first thing he did was to enter Whampoa, and threw out the matter of the upcoming troops to fight and the current weapon fighting case, which caused even more powerful discussions. Jingkang has a Di Bao, Dongxia also has it, and the Di Bao is located in Huangpu, and it is printed, not only through the official office, but also will be distributed to the township elders, so that the township elders can tell the people to know, so this public opinion soon evolved into Huangpu students waving the flag and shouting, Di Bao is a sharp blade, and the countryside is a battlefield.

The remarks of "private fighting is shameful, and the national war is glorious" began to fill people's minds, and almost the whole country was eagerly awaiting, wondering how this case would be judged, but as soon as Dia Niao reflected, he asked Nalan Rongxin to ghostwrite an article "Governing Water Conservancy with the Power of Weapons" and published it.

The purpose of this article is to create momentum, so that all localities will pay attention to water conservancy construction, and transfer the strength of Ding Zhuang, which cannot be vented, to water conservancy...... And deliberately let people bring it up when the case is tried, and punish those who were originally sentenced to death by fighting to repair water conservancy, so as to give more people their lives.

It's a pity that this article was drowned in a lot of verbal criticism, and it sank after a while.

Buses from all over the country arrived all the way, and the case was decided in a jury trial.

The imperial court sentenced the number of dead and injured people, and 40 people shouted "private fighting is shameful, national war is glorious" on the bank of Huangshui, and then committed suicide en masse, and the remaining 2,000 people were punished for hard labor, which can be described as the largest case in Eastern Xia.

Dia Bird did not go.

The wind and rain are wet.

He was plainly dressed and worshipped these dead people on the flower and stone platform on the North Plain, infected by grief, and suddenly gave the civil and military forces around him tears: "Gu Pingsheng has killed countless people, he thinks he is hard-hearted, but he doesn't dare to see them die, they are not bad people, is there any crime?" ”

Guo Jia pulled his clothes to remind him to pay attention to his words, but he still said, "Although he is guilty, he is not a wicked person, and he will not die." Lone just wanted people to remember that group weapons were a capital crime, and they were sentenced to death. ”

Shi Wenqing had a hard temper, and he was afraid of bad influence, so he simply asked him: "Is it unlawful?" Now how can you say that though you are guilty, you do not die? ”

Dia Bird had nothing to say.

In fact, most people just wanted to persuade the king not to cry, but they didn't know how to persuade him, and they got Shi Wenqing's encouragement, and someone with the responsibility of supervision came up and asked: "The king is the king of Dongxia, how can he have the kindness of a woman?" Someone else said: "The people of Dongxia regard the king as a god, and if the king weeps for it instead of spurning it, will anyone deliberately break the law in exchange for the king's mercy?" Zhang Tietou crossed the sword in front of them and shouted angrily: "What are these words? Shut up for me. ”

Dia Bird stopped Zhang Tietou, but he couldn't say a word.

He was really sad in his heart, he asked himself if he had killed innocent people in vain, but he did not expect that several loyal subordinates who followed him did not die at the hands of the enemy and were killed by him.

It's hard to be rich together.

A cavalryman arrived from Huangxi and came up to report the execution of the death penalty, but he was also choking up and shouting: "Except for one person who committed suicide and begged for execution, all the other prisoners have been sentenced by themselves. Dia Bird couldn't control it anymore, and burst into tears again. The cavalryman said: "After the verdict was made, Gao Xian privately sent people to rescue these death row prisoners to Gao Xian, but the people categorically refused, and some people said in a loud voice: 'We take the water, but we don't want to do it to this point, and we should make this verdict, and we will not apologize if we do not die.'" Ergao shows the people of the country, and I don't know the righteousness of my Dongxia. If we don't die, the water of Dongxia will never stop, and if we die, we will live thousands of lives. ’”

The ministers burst into tears, their spirits were uplifted, and they commented one after another.

But the bird stretched out his trembling hand, groaned, seemed dizzy, and spun on the spot several times.

The crowd snatched him up and sent him back to the palace.

As soon as he woke up, he said to Nalan Rongxin and Guo Jia beside him: "Lonely." Reduced to a traitor, isn't he borrowing forty heads to stabilize the country? ”

Guo Jia also had a slight responsibility, and glanced back at the panicked crowd outside: "The king is so painful, in the eyes of the ministers, the weakness is exposed, how can he be restrained in the future." ”

Dia Bird nodded and said softly: "The pain in the lonely heart, Fei Er and so on, but the pain is painful, the lonely is not fainting, but in a trance, I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the brother's affection." ”

He asked Guo Jia to call Zhang Tietou, Lu Chuan and others in, and said: "Lone is out of shape today, not just for them, but suddenly from their bodies." Lone is suddenly very afraid, afraid that one day you and I will be the king and the minister, can not share the wealth and wealth, no matter how difficult you are, you have followed Lone's side, born and died together, Lone cherishes it like a brother, but in front of state affairs, how can Lone not treat everyone equally, once you don't pay attention to your feathers, how can Lone take care of you one by one. Perhaps other kings have achieved royal success, but they are afraid that their brothers who have raised troops together will compete for power, and think about how to make them give up their power, embrace beautiful women, enjoy their goods, and not threaten their own rule...... For the sake of this, they ignore those subsections and the general laws of the country, even if they are careless and corrupt to bend the law, as long as they can take back their power. But Lone is not, Lone thinks that he has a righteous mouth in his chest, and he can't allow it, Lone will not doubt you in major matters, and will never take the right to wait for you, but I ask you to be the same as me, take Dongxia as your own responsibility, don't mess around, and don't violate your conscience. ”

He also said, "Remember, and tell us old brothers, to read the law and be careful...... Don't force Lone to this again, okay? ”

The crowd burst into tears and competed to make promises.

Diao said calmly: "This time it was Lonely's mistake. According to the national conditions, Lone started heavily, and they were not allowed to atone for their crimes with knights, except for the group weapons that opened the case this time, they will not do anything else in the future. ”
