"Please take back the judgment and take back the order to behead Gongzi Yangsheng!"

Guo Xia's face turned red, he now regretted his decision to surrender very much, he should fight the shore of Wenshui, if it didn't work, he would kill himself, which would be better than the torment he suffered now. That's right, he and Gao Wupi were treated as guests, and Zhao Wuxian treated each other politely, but it was different to treat Gongzi Yangsheng, Guoxia thought that at most he would be detained and waiting for the ransom of Qi people, during this period, Yangsheng might suffer a little, but he should not have to worry about his life.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Wuxian actually took this way and made such a decision!

Beheading, this is a torture far beyond the five punishments, only used on the most evil people, for the prince of a country, for the Qi State Office, it is undoubtedly a great shame......

It is reasonable to be reasonable, although Guoxia is the general of the defeated army, he also wants to try his best to stop it.

Zhao Wuxian pushed it all away: "This is not my judgment, it is the judgment of the judge, and this is not something that I can take back in a word." Guozi also witnessed yesterday's trial process, and the procedure was fair, courteous, and in accordance with the law. Book. Isn't that what it says in "Lu Xing"? Both the plaintiff and the defendant arrived, and the prison officers tried the case by observing what they said and what they were saying. The results of the five kinds of interrogations were conclusive, and the verdicts were made in accordance with the provisions of the five types of punishments, namely, Mo, Xuan, Bin, Gong, and Dapi, and the "Lu Law" added one more article to cut off the atrocities committed by foreign nationals in the territory. “

"Therefore, the judge's judgment is reasonable, and the judgment is also written on paper and a copy of the slip and hidden in the treasury, and must not be easily changed."

"But Yangsheng is the son of Qi after all, and the Zhou family and the Qi State have old rules, and the punishment is reduced by eight points. Among them, there is the noble discussion, and the general wants to cut him with an axe regardless of his identity, which is really a loss of Zhao's dignity! Guoxia said excitedly, and couldn't help but take another step forward.

"Decent?" Zhao Wuxian slapped the case heavily and stood up, and the black-clothed guards behind Guo Xia also put their hands on the hilt of their swords in unison.

Zhao Wuxian calmed them down for a while, but his tone was already much heavier than Fang Cai: "Guozi actually talked to me about decency? When you and other commanders joined the country of Kolu and connived at your subordinates to harm the villagers, did you ever care about your virtue and decency as a doctor? In order to take revenge for being a prisoner of the Zhao family, when Yang Sheng ordered the indiscriminate killing of innocents, did he ever care about his dignity as the prince of Qi State? As for the Gao Yu doctor who was brutally killed, the thousands of Lu people who were ruined and their wives were separated, and their bodies were eaten by wild dogs in the wilderness after their deaths, who had considered their decency! ”

"I have seen the noblest common people, and I have also seen the most despicable sons and grandsons, Yangsheng is not half a point nobler than those Lu Guoli people who died tragically in the ravines! In front of my law, even if the Marquis of Qi commits a crime in the territory of Lu, he will be punished as he deserves! ”

Guo Xia had nothing to say, just stared at him: "Qi Guo will not accept such humiliation!" “

"What if the Qi people accept it, and what if they don't accept it?" Zhao Wuxian saw that Guoxia had already brought a hint of pride: "Could it be that Qi Hou still has the strength to fight back?" The whole army of the country has been wiped out, the southern border of Qi is wide open, Liu Xia is walking with 8,000 soldiers, and Xu Cheng has nearly 100 clippers galloping, where do you say they are now? Is it Yangzhou, is it Pingyin Dong'a, or is it ...... On the outskirts of Linzi? ”

Guoxia's face turned pale, now the offensive and defensive momentum of Qilu has been replaced, it has only been a few days, the border of Qi has been attacked everywhere, Xiaoyi or surrendered or fallen, and the thieves did their old business to master it easily, and after robbing the treasury of grain, they let the boatmaster sail back by speedboat. If it weren't for Zhao Wuxian's tight western front, Qi Guo would have already been a fish on the sword.

"You...... Generals, don't think that if you win the battle, you can do whatever you want! ”

"Am I doing whatever I want?" Zhao Wuxian didn't laugh angrily.

He took off the crown of the bird, and his black hair fell like ink, and then pointed to the obviously broken section and said: "I witnessed the tragic situation here when I passed through Yuncheng, and I swore in public that I would definitely avenge them. Now that I have won this battle and captured all the Qi people, but I have not acted as recklessly as Yang Sheng, I suppressed my anger and spared the lives of most Qi people, I pressed my patience and treated Guozi and Gaozi, the commanders of this war, as honored guests, instead of sending them to Thorn to convict the magistrate like Yang Sheng. ”

"This matter has been decided, if the prince is not satisfied, he can file a lawsuit for Yangsheng and the convicted Qi soldiers, and then the judge will decide whether to retry it. But to be honest, the evidence of Yangsheng's crime is conclusive, and even if it is retried, the original verdict will probably be upheld, please go back! ”

Zhao Wuxian asked the guards to open the door to see off the guests, and Guo Xia left in a huff, continuing to return to the place where he was under house arrest. After he left, Xiang Lu, who had been listening, flashed in, and while laughing at Guoxia's embarrassment of not having self-knowledge, he was also faintly worried in his heart, so he stepped forward and said sneeringly: "Killing Gongzi Yangsheng, although this move greatly enhances the hearts of Xilu people, but if you spare his life, will it be more beneficial to the lord?" ”

……

Wuxian glanced at the young man: "There must be both pros and cons in everything, but you should tell me, how to deal with it?" ”

"Perhaps, lock him up...... As a hostage? Xiang Lu said that this may be a solution......

Zhao Wuxian smiled: "You don't know Yangsheng's status in Qi China, do you think Qi people still care about him?" ”

Xiang Lu scratched his head, indeed, it is said that Qi Hou has disliked this son to the extreme, keeping Yangsheng as a hostage, but he is afraid that he will not even be able to exchange it for 10,000 stone of grain.

"I'm worried that the general will be subjected to unwarranted hostility if he does this, and it is true that Yangsheng is not taken seriously, but it is not false that he is the son of a country, but I am afraid that it will make the princes and doctors dissatisfied and become the general's enemy."

"When you are dissatisfied, you will also be afraid."

Zhao Wuxian beckoned Xiang Lu to sit down and gave him another lesson.

"You know what? Duke Wen of Jin was a flawed man, who suffered a lot of grievances when he was in exile, and after he became the Marquis of Jin, he began to take revenge on his enemies who had humiliated him. Under Guo Yan's suggestion, this broad-minded overlord must put on a skin of etiquette in everything. Guo Yan, Li Li and others, as judges and magistrates of the Jin State, openly interrogated the princes on charges of defecting to the Chu State, believing that they were guilty, so they sent people to poison Wei Chenggong and forced Cao Gonggong to cede land to Lu and Song. At that time, no one could accept the domineering behavior of the Jin Kingdom, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and endure it, but after more than 100 years, haven't they all gotten used to it? Whenever there is a dispute between the princes, they will rush to the Jin State to ask the overlord for arbitration......"

Xiang Lu scratched his head: "It's true, but ......"

Wuxian stopped his words: "You are afraid that the Zhao clan will provoke more enemies, I thank you for your kindness, but I am not afraid of more enemies." Last year, I was once the enemy of the whole world, but among these enemies, Fan, Zhongxing, Handan, Gongsun Jiang, Wei Linggong, Ji, and Qi were all defeated, extinct and crippled. ”

He sighed: "You should know that I can have today, relying on the support of the scholars and the people, not the doctors, and I am following a domineering path that is both inherited and innovated. What is reasonable in the old rites and is beneficial to me, then keep one or two, and what hinders my progress, just kick away. Before the Battle of Wenshui, I may have to endure humiliation, wronged myself and the innocent Lu people, and Rao Yang was killed, but now I don't have to. So, Xiang Lu, don't always think about catering to and getting used to those old rituals, they have collapsed to the point that they can't be the same, now, let the people of the world get used to the new rules of the Zhao family! ”

Xiang Lu was shocked, and looked at Zhao Wuxian blankly, indeed, if he couldn't even protect his own people? If he timidly pulls them to hold back their hatred and accompany his aggrieved little daughter-in-law to do the old ritual system, then what reason does Zhao Wuxian have to let the people of Lu go to the battlefield for themselves to spill their blood?

If Yang Sheng is spared, the Qi people will not be grateful to him at all, but will laugh at his weakness and the kindness of women. Killing Yang Sheng, although he will be buzzed and scolded by a lot of flies, can deter the nobles inside and outside the Zhao family, and at the same time bring justice to the 300,000 Lu people in Xilu, and completely win their loyalty, loyalty to himself, and loyalty to his infant son......

Since ancient times, all revolutions have shed blood and sacrificed their lives, and if you don't want to let your own people bleed, you have to let the enemy bleed. Just use the blood of the surname Jiang flowing in Yangsheng's body to pour the foundation of Zhao's rule in the Lu State, and use his small life to commemorate the old era when the law was trampled on by the nobles at will!

Zhao Wuxian tightened his hair, lifted the heavy crown of the secretary, put it back on his head, and once again returned to the dignified general who killed decisively, and the long sword at his waist stood majestically when he got up.

"It is said that in ancient times, Yao's co-worker official Kong Ren committed a big crime, and the generous Emperor Yao said 'Youzhi' three times, and the upright Gao Tao said 'kill' three times, and finally killed or not killed The classics are not clearly recorded, probably killed. I like the approach of this ancestor surnamed Ying, this time, I will support Deng Zi to the end, Yang Sheng, must die! (To be continued.) )
