Eight large dings stood above the court, and the fire under the dings was raging, and the blazing flames distorted the space, so that the figures of more than a dozen criminals twisted and turned, some cried, some screamed, and some fainted on the spot. The common people around were very close, some villagers knelt, and some people held small knives and clay pots, ready to eat the soup, chew their flesh, and break their bones while the wicked people were cooking.

"It's time to execute!" The time of the order has reached the middle of the day, and the order is now being executed.

"Do you have any last words?" Si Yu Mu Yi looked at the dozen or so criminals, and finally his eyes stayed on Chen Bi, unlike others who were panicked and trembling, Chen Bi was calm and calm, and he was happy to die.

No one answered, and when Mu Yi was about to wave his hand, Chen Bi, who was bound, suddenly got up, "I have a last word." ”

"Words." Mu Yi looked at the document beside him, "Remember." ”

"I only speak to the king, not to you." Chen Bi's head tilted up, and he said again: "I, Chen Bi, am not convinced." ”

"You're not convinced?!" Mu Yi laughed angrily, "Because you made people set fires, the Wei people broke the city; Because you caused people to set fires, more than 1,000 villagers died. Why are you not convinced? Why are you not convinced?! ”

"I can only say it to the king, not to you." Chen Bi still looks arrogant. "If I don't say anything, I won't go to the Yellow Spring, but only accompany the king around ......"

"You dare!" The Yellow Spring is the destination of the undead, and if you don't go to the Yellow Spring and wander in the world, that is the evil ghost. This evil ghost actually wants to be by the king's side all the time, is this worth it?

"If you don't want me to speak to the king, what can I do?" Chu people believe in witches and are lewd, although what Chen Bi said is not boundary, but how can the defeat make the king take risks?

"You are a man with a broken car, how can you speak to the king?" Mu Yi said disdainfully, "It's not a car split, with the law of my Chu country, if you want to see the king, you also want to reward the great merit, what merit do you have and what reward do you have?" What you have, it's just a felony. ”

"I'm willing to kill myself and see the king." Chen Bi no longer looked up, but looked at Mu Yi, his eyes were extremely clear. "The punishment of the split car is not as good as the feet, I want to cut my feet and speak to the king, which has a precedent in my Chu country. Please defeat it today! After speaking, it is not too late to carry out the punishment of car splitting. ”

Mu Yi is from Yingdu Zuoyin Mansion and is proficient in the law, and Chen Bi's words are indeed true. Mu Yihu was suspicious, and Chen County immediately said: "Chen Bi's words do not violate the law of Chu, please make someone sue the king." ”

"Please sue the king if he is defeated." On the day of Chen Bi's execution, he wanted to speak to the king. The county officials knew about this for a long time. Although they are officials, they also know what will happen to them after Chen Jian leaves office. This is not an arson case, this is a seizure of power.

"Presumptuous, the king is busy with military affairs, how can you wait for you to see it." Mu Yi shouted behind him, but his shouting made more than 100 county officials and even the executioners dissatisfied, and these people actually said in unison: "The defeat of the division is the crime of Chen Bi under the rule of law, and we are convinced; Now that the law has made Chen Bi silent, we are not convinced. Please say that the secretary is defeated by the king, and Chen Bi is willing to speak by himself. ”

Yingdu only came from Si Shi and a few regular orders and clerks, and then some seconded sanitation, and the rest were county officials from Chen Ying's county government. Now these county officials are not convinced, which makes Mu Yi difficult for a while.

"Whoa!" Reading the unconvinced eyes of the county officials, Mu Yi did not hesitate for long.

"Whoa!" Zhengling shouted. Chen Bi had already stretched out enough to wait, and the executioner swung down with a knife, his face first turned red, and then turned white, and above the broken foot, the whole person couldn't help but tremble while sweating the size of beans. The pair of severed feet were immediately snatched away by the waiting villagers, and their hatred for Chen Bi had long been in their bones, so they actually picked up the bloody broken feet and gnawed them, and the county officials hurriedly helped Chen Bi stop the bleeding.

"If you go to report to the king, you will say that Chen Bi has cut his own feet, and there is a word to enter the king." After the execution, Mu Yi instructed the order.

"Chen Bi is talking to himself?" In the main bed, Xiong Jing was reading the newly compiled history of Chu, and he didn't want to report to the Zhengling, saying that Chen Bi wanted to make a statement.

"Yes, yes." Worship the sermon. "Chen Bi used to be a Chu minister, and now he is talking about himself, please let the king hear what he said."

"What if I don't see it?" The car cracked and the dying man, Xiong Jing couldn't figure out why he, as a king, listened to him.

"King," Zuo Shi said softly. "This time the case is questioned, Chen Ying's people may be unconvinced......"

"Not convinced?" Xiong Jing was dumbfounded, and Zuo Shi nodded again and again. Taking down Chen Jian with the arson case is an established policy, which is not only a trial case, but also a political dispute. Chen Yingchen has been in business for decades and has long been deeply rooted.

"In that case, why don't you listen to Chen Bi's last words?" Xiong Jing smiled. Zheng Linghou was about to quit, he put down the first draft of Chu Shi, and said, "Slow! Chen Bi's words are only true, it is better not to go to the court in person. ”

"The prince is going?" Zheng Ling was extremely surprised, and immediately dissuaded: "How can the king come to the bloody place of the execution ground?" ”

"The battlefield is also a bloody place, and I am there myself." Xiong Jing didn't care, what he cared about was what Chen Bi, a dying man, wanted to say to himself when he cut his feet. Say he's innocent? No way; It is very likely to say that Chen Jian County's post cannot be abolished. But why didn't he let himself not abolish Chen Jian as the county Yin?

With such a question, Xiong Jing went out of the door, and before he walked to the court, the main order had already walked quickly to tell him, and above the court, everyone bowed down, including Chen Bi, who had no feet.

"What do you want to say?" Under the canopy, Xiong Jing didn't want to talk nonsense.

Without bowing on both feet, he couldn't maintain his balance, and Chen Bi could only be supported by others. But he didn't want to be supported by others, so he struggled to get up after shaking off the county magistrate. "The sins of villains are unforgivable. However, the villain heard that Zengzi had said: The bird is dying, and its song is also mourning; When a man is about to die, his words are good. If you want to die, the villain has words to enter the king. ”

"Words." Chen Bi's voice was not high, the sweat on his head was like rain, Xiong Jing didn't want to see his miserable state, and his eyes only fell on the temple not far away.

"The king is not a king, he is intelligent, he is born to know, and the king of Chu is like the sun and the moon in heaven and earth. However, although the king is smart, he does not know the nature of the people and the hearts of the people, so the king is strong and the government of Chu, and he is paid to fight fires. ”

"You are also worthy of talking about the politics of Qiang Chu?" Speaking on his own feet, Xiong Jing had a trace of pity, but Chen Bi dared to bluntly say that he 'didn't know the people's nature, didn't know the people's hearts, and the government of Chu was strong, and he was in the opposite direction', and he was suddenly a little angry.

"Yes!" For today's speech, Chen Bi thought hard for three days. He knows that he is as smart as a king, and he is the most taboo for others to attack his strategy, but attacking politics can most impress the heart of the king. "The government of the king, fallacious!"

"What's wrong?" Xiong Jing was really angry, and he glared at Chen Bi: "Is it wrong to set fire to the villagers like you?" ”

"Definitely." Chen Bi shook his head. "Just because the king is young and doesn't know people's hearts, although the wall says, I'm afraid the king won't understand."

"You!" The first is to slander the political strategy, and the second is to attack the age, Xiong Jing immediately stood up, until Zuo Shiqing coughed behind him, he remembered the king Corporal Ying Lixian, so he reluctantly waved at Chen Bi and said, "Please sir." ”

"Haha......" Chen Bi, who was in severe pain, actually smiled, he nodded in approval like a strategist, and then forgot the pain and began to lobby for the last time in his life. King Guoxian is also the king. Dare to ask the king, can you use the reputation of the county officials to replace the county officials? ”

Chen Bi broke his plot with a word, and Xiong Jing was immediately shocked when he heard this. Fortunately, without waiting for him to answer, Chen Bi, who was gradually becoming more and more dignified, continued: "This is a big mistake! The king knows that whoever governs the traitors with good people will be in chaos and the kingdom will be destroyed; Those who govern the good people with traitors will rule, and the country will be strong. Therefore, the wise kings govern the good people with the traitors, and never govern the traitors with the good people. In this way, if the good people are evil and the traitors are close to the king, if there are no traitors like us to do evil, why are the good people close to the king? Why did the king order the good people? ”

Chen Bi's words have an indescribable magic, seemingly contradictory, but also logical and self-consistent. He continued: "The king thinks that if the people are strong, the country will be strong, and if the people are weak, the country will be weak, which is even more absurd! This was true in ancient times, or so in the Middle Ages, but it is not so today. Why? The people's hearts are evil! Therefore, he who can rule the world must first control his people, and he who can defeat the enemy must first defeat his people. And the victory lies in the control of the people.

If the king wants to make his kingdom strong, let him make his people weak; If you want to make the country weak, let the people be strong. Therefore, when the people are strong, the soldiers are weaker; The people are strong and weak, and the soldiers want to be strong.

The reputation of the people is the system of strengthening the people, and the reputation of the county officials is to attack the strong, the people are still strong, the people are strong, the people are strong, the soldiers are weak, and the soldiers are weak; If you want to make the country strong, you must attack the strong with the weak and make the people weak. When the people are weak, the army is strong, and when the army is strong, the country is strong. Therefore, if the strong attack the strong, the country will be cut, and the weak will attack the strong, and the country will be king......"

"Enough!" The bear shouted angrily. If there is some logic in 'governing the good people with traitors and making the good people close to themselves', then 'attacking the strong with the weak makes the people weak.' If the people are weak, the army will be strong, and if the army is strong, the country will be strong' makes Xiong Jing disgusting.

He understands this logic, and this logic is the same as Han Fei's five beetles. What is a strong citizen? The strong people are the brave men who dare to resist, the wise men who will not be coaxed by the bureaucracy but can fool the bureaucrats, the rich and prosperous industrial and commercial people, and the respected nobles who have organizational resources, these people are the strong men; And the weak, in a nutshell, are obedient fools who do not know how to resist.

Arrange the people and serve in the Fu family. In a war of unrighteousness and profitlessness, the strong will definitely oppose it, but the weak will not.

Now the state of Chu doesn't want to conquer anyone, what the state of Chu wants now is self-preservation. Self-preservation, foolish people who have no money to spare may not be willing to die desperately, who is not a king? Who is the king, they do not pay food?

If the strong are otherwise, the Qin army will attack and sweep away the five beetles, and if they don't fight hard, there will be only one ending: death. What Xiong Jing has to do is to have as many beetles as possible, and then lead them to fight against Qin together. As for how it will be ...... in the future, that is a matter for the future.

"You can die!" Xiong Jing said coldly, and after speaking, he asked Chang Jiang to bring a glass of water and began to wash his ears.

Seeing that this was no longer suave, Chen Bi trembled again, but he still did not give up, and continued to shout when he dragged it down: "If the king doesn't listen to me, he will regret it one day!" If the king does not listen to me, he will repent of it......"

"Chi!" Chen Bi, who was shouting, was quickly tied up by the sanitation, and after the order of the chariot royal hand, he galloped on the horse, and in the neighing of several horses, his whole body was torn into five sections with an 'ah', and a cloud of blood mist was sprayed in the air.
