Chapter 237: Strong to the End

(The third watch, roll and ask for a recommendation ticket!) )

"In!"

A group of soldiers rushed in and stood in the tent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info All of them are dressed in armor, armed with war knives, and murderous. The fierce and vicious eyes, like a beast with a wide open mouth, made the officials in the big tent change their faces, and they were all frightened and afraid.

A deep sense of remorse was bred in the hearts of the county magistrates.

In the hearts of everyone, there is a feeling that it is self-defeating to lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot.

What they mean is that through complaints, Liu Xuanfa will not blame the people, and he cannot punish the people.

Now, Liu Xuan is serious.

Liu Xuan's eyes swept over the soldiers under his command and ordered: "Drag it down, and all of them will be beheaded for public display." Today's they are a lesson for the future. The officials of the Beihai Kingdom would rather die standing than live on their knees. The North Sea Country does not produce seeds. ”

"Ahh

One by one, the officials all exclaimed.

Although they regretted it just now, they thought that Liu Xuan called the soldiers, and he was just punishing them. But they never expected that Liu Xuan would use the knife, and the result was far beyond their control.

"Your Highness, you know that you are wrong, Your Highness spares your life."

The county magistrate of Pingshou County was extremely frightened, and directly begged for mercy, not daring to resist anymore.

"Please spare your life!"

The county magistrate of Chunyu County was also afraid, and immediately opened his mouth to beg for mercy.

The Jimo County Commander glanced at everyone, and saw that all the officials stood up and begged for mercy, and secretly cursed a fool in his heart. Liu Xuan's intimidation, everyone is afraid, how can they complain?

Everyone is like this, and Jimo County has no choice but to join in and beg for mercy.

begged for mercy one by one, wept bitterly, and was extremely pitiful.

Liu Xuan's expression was firm, unmoved, and said: "Leaving you behind can only harm the Beihai Kingdom and the people." It is better for you to live than to die. When you die, I'll pick new officers to take office. ”

"Take it down!"

Liu Xuan gave a strong order.

Brush!

Officials in various counties were even more afraid.

Seeing the soldiers rushing up one by one, the officials kept struggling. However, these officials are accustomed to being pampered on weekdays, and where they have the strength to contend with the soldiers, it is just a futile struggle. After struggling for a moment, they were all subdued by the soldiers.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, an elegant and rich voice sounded.

The person who spoke was Kong Rong.

Kong Rong is the minister of the North Sea, and as soon as he gave the order, the soldiers who dragged the officials stopped, looked at Liu Xuan, and waited for Liu Xuan's arrangement.

Liu Xuan frowned and said, "What does Kong Xiang do?" ”

Officials from various counties looked at Kong Rong one after another, with a look of expectation in their eyes.

At this moment, it can only be relied on by Kong Rong.

Kong Rong bowed to Liu Xuan and said solemnly: "The officials of the counties did not resist Tian Zhao, and they did make a big mistake. But these people govern the counties because they are the people of the Beihai Kingdom, and even if they have no merit, they have hard work. The prime minister believes that they have indeed made a big mistake, but the sin is not death, please think twice. ”

Liu Xuan squinted his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Kong Rong with his eyes.

That look, very unhappy.

In the eyes of all officials, Liu Xuan and Kong Rong had a dispute, and the contradiction was on the verge of breaking out.

Kong Rong was not in a hurry or impatient, and continued: "After all, they are the county commanders of each county, and although they have surrendered, they also have their own difficulties. People are not saints and sages, and this time they made a mistake, and they can't help but give them a chance to make amends. The old minister begged the prince to give them a chance to know their mistakes and change them. ”

Liu Xuan's face had a soft look.

When the county officials saw Kong Rong, their eyes were full of gratitude and they were very excited.

Fortunately, there is a hole melt to help out!

Otherwise, this time it will be dead.

Liu Xuan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Kong Xiang pleaded, I won't open the killing ring." Capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped. And they were dragged into the camp, and each of them was given twenty rods. ”

Brush!

The faces of the county officials turned the color of pig liver.

Twenty military sticks!

If these twenty military sticks are beaten, I'm afraid their butts will rot. Everyone's eyes looked at Kong Rong again, hoping that Kong Rong would persuade him again. However, Kong Rong did not contradict Liu Xuan anymore, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

In an instant, everyone was lost.

Liu Xuan flicked his sleeves, and the soldiers dragged the officials out of the camp.

All the officials were lying on the ground, and beside the officials, there stood soldiers with goose eggs and thick canes. These soldiers, with an excited look in their eyes, cane the county lord is not something anyone can do, this is an opportunity.

Liu Xuan followed out and ordered: "Execution!" ”

"Smack!"

A soldier picked up his cane and hit it directly.

"Ahh

The buttocks were whipped, and the official's face was hideous and painful, and he tore open his throat and screamed.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

There was a bang, and it kept ringing.

The official's buttocks were whipped with a cane, and the pain was heartbreaking. If you go down with a cane, your ass will crack. They were always commanding and commanding, and they were the only ones who punished the criminals, but now they were punished with a cane and a cane, and their feelings can be imagined.

Even if he was not killed, there was a trace of resentment towards Liu Xuan in his heart.

The cane kept rising and falling, and the officials screamed.

Everyone, it hurts so much that they are alive.

Liu Xuan walked among the officials with Kong Rong, looked at the officials screaming to death, shook his head and said, "Kong Xiang, in fact, I don't want to beat them with a cane, but want to kill them." ”

When the official lying on the ground heard this, his heart fluttered.

Liu Xuan was so murderous, he still wanted to kill them.

Kong Rong smiled bitterly and asked, "They are all from the Beihai Kingdom, why should Your Highness bother?" ”

Liu Xuan's tone was cold, and he said slowly: "Kill them, once you kill them, there will be no trouble." I will take advantage of this opportunity to arrange for other officials to serve as prefectural magistrates in each county. Now that they have been spared their lives after being punished with twenty sticks, there will definitely be resentment in their hearts. Kong Xiang, this is the trouble you gave me. ”

Kong Rong said: "Your Highness said that you laughed, they were saved from being killed, and they must be grateful to Your Highness." ”

The official lying on the ground sneered in his heart when he heard this.

Liu Xuan treated them like this, and wanted them to be grateful to Dade, which was impossible.

Liu Xuan chuckled twice and said disdainfully: "They are grateful to Dade, so forget it." Actually, I want them to rebel. Kill them now, it's not right. If they hold a grudge against me, and then they rebel, it is justified to kill them. Tian Zhao and I can easily clean it up, not to mention these timid county orders, to clean them up, it's just a matter of words. ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials who listened to Liu Xuan's words with pointed ears were half cold in their hearts.

Liu Xuan cleaned up Tian Zhao, let alone them?

If they want to rebel, they are looking for death.

Liu Xuan looked at the county orders of each county contemptuously, and said loudly: "If you have any thoughts in your hearts, or want to take revenge, I welcome them." There are many generals under my command, and many of them have not yet been assigned positions. You're willing to make a slate, just right. ”

When the officials heard this, their hearts were even colder.

The pain in the body invades the nerves.

The helplessness in my heart is even more desperate and frustrating.

Between them and Liu Xuan, it is not on the same level. wanted to wrestle with Liu Xuan, but they didn't even have the qualifications. Looking at the backs of Liu Xuan and Kong Rong leaving, their painful faces were full of bitterness and helplessness.

Liu Xuan and Kong Rong returned to the camp tent and said with a smile: "After this incident, the officials of the counties will be honest. ”

Kong Rong said: "The timing and severity of the killing stick of the prince are just right. ”

Liu Xuan changed his words and said in a deep voice: "Kong Xiang, in fact, I really have the idea of killing. These officials surrendered easily when the enemy attacked, and they were all grass on the wall. The peace of the Beihai Kingdom was achieved by fighting, not by surrender. ”

Kong Rong sighed lightly and agreed with Liu Xuan's words.

The security of a country must rely on its own strength, not surrender.
