Wei Ting's words are to the point, although it is not difficult to kill these generals who have made big mistakes, but the bad impact brought about by killing them cannot be erased in one or two sentences.

Seeing this, Chen Qingyun also spoke again: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world, with a broad mind and a wide range of rivers, how can he not tolerate these few courtiers who have made mistakes?"

If Your Majesty can forgive the generals with a benevolent heart, not only will they be grateful to Dade, but the whole army of Xiangyang will feel the grace of Your Majesty, and they will forge ahead more and more.

"Doesn't Your Majesty still want to take advantage of the situation to send troops? The morale of the army is related to whether the next battle can be successfully won. I also hope that Your Majesty will give everyone a chance to make meritorious contributions and regain the Central Plains for the imperial court! ”

Sun Ning frowned slightly, his words really moved him.

He dares to kill and is good at killing, but that doesn't mean that he is really a tyrant who likes to kill.

He knew very well that killing people was always a means rather than an end, and now if he could obtain greater benefits by not killing than killing, it would naturally be better not to kill.

But the problem is that this is just a speculation, and it can't be confirmed after all. Moreover, once this opening is opened and a group of rebels are spared, will it make a very bad start, so that more ill-intentioned people will have the courage to commit rebellious acts again?

After all, the current Dayue Imperial Court is not strong enough to ignore all kinds of internal and external threats, especially the unstable people from within, which he needs to suppress with means.

Seeing that the emperor was deep in thought, several courtiers did not dare to disturb, and all waited quietly at the next head, waiting for him to come up with a decision.

And at this moment, a person hurriedly came to the hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is a Jinling music book sent here urgently......

The sudden report interrupted Sun Ning's thoughts, making his expression change slightly: "Present it." ”

He knew that something big must have happened in the Jinling court, so he was in a hurry to send the book to him and leave it to his own decision. As the current capital of the Dayue Imperial Court, the affairs in Jinling City are much more important than those in Xiangyang.

It's just that after reading the co-signed transcript of many important members of the political affairs hall in his hand, Sun Ning's expression was a little strange. It's really unthinkable that the same problem was put in front of me together.

Or is it about how to deal with rebels who communicate with foreign enemies, or are there two different ways to deal with them, either lightly or severely...... It's just that the identity of the prisoners involved this time is much higher than that of the people here in Xiangyang.

It is precisely because of this that the impact of killing them and their relatives is even greater.

Sun Ning thought in his heart, and at the same time pushed the notebook to the edge of the table: "Qingyun, you can also take a look." ”

Chen Qingyun agreed, took the notebook and looked at it, and his face changed: "This ......"

"Take a look and tell me how I should decide this." Sun Ning waved his hand again, so that a few people in the hall could pass it on together, so that Nie Long, who was still not very literate, did not have to look at it.

Then, seven or eight people in the hall fell silent. They didn't deal with it, not only because this matter was difficult to handle, but also because of their identity - a major event in the imperial court, how could they, as local officials, dare to mess with their beaks?

During this period, Sun Ning was not idle, and quickly skimmed through the other two letters sent with the notebook.

One of the two letters is from Xiao Qian, the content is quite ordinary, just expressing her longing, and hoping that her husband can take care of herself and go back for reunion as soon as possible. In the end, I mentioned that I would definitely do my best to do the affairs of the DPRK and China, as long as it was Sun Ning's decision, no matter what the result was, I would do my best to implement it.

After reading this letter, Sun Ning only felt warm in his heart, and it was really good that someone was concerned about him.

If it weren't for the big things at the moment, he wouldn't be able to return to his wife immediately, accompany her, hold his son, and enjoy the joy of family.

But soon, Sun Ning suppressed this emotion, at least for this year, it was impossible for him to return to Jinling. The current situation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and must not be missed.

After putting away this precious letter from his wife, Sun Ning opened the second letter and read it, this one was from his extremely dependent courtier, Zuo Xiang Shen Zhou.

This letter said that it was a letter, but in fact it was more like a transcript, except for the initial greetings, Shen Zhou took the initiative to admit his transgression to Sun Ning.

He said that so many rebellious people appeared in Jiangnan and Jinling, and it was his responsibility as the head of the hundred officials in the court, and it was because he did not really fulfill his responsibilities that too many people were dissatisfied with the court and gave birth to dissent. Therefore, he asked for his own demotion in the hope of atonement......

However, Sun Ning knows that these are still not the point, and the content behind is the key.

Sure enough, Shen Zhou later mentioned the two different opinions of the DPRK and China on how to deal with the relevant rebels, but he did not analyze Sun Ning from the two different possibilities.

It's just that he suddenly changed his words and mentioned: "The former Cao Cao conquered Yuan Shao and finally won the victory, possessing the land of the Northern Central Plains, and also included the wealth of the Yuan family for many years, as well as documents and books. Among them, there are still letters from Cao Cao's subordinates who secretly communicated with Yuan Shao. 33

"With Cao Cao's eloquence, he can understand the meaning of his letter. However, in the face of hundreds of letters, Cao Cao did not open one letter, but called someone to start a fire and burned all the letters.

"As a result, Cao Cao won the hearts of the northern scholars, and within a few years, he could have hundreds of thousands of people, and finally became the biggest male lord in the late Han Dynasty, and achieved Cao Wei's hegemony ......"

The corners of Sun Ning's mouth hooked, this Shen Zhou really had a lot of ideas, and he actually tried to convince himself by such a side-knocking method.

But if you think about it carefully, his statement can't be wrong, after all, there are too many people to kill this time, and anyone will be vague in their hearts, worried that it will bring unexpected consequences.

But then, the light in Sun Ning's eyes flashed again.

It's just that he is not Cao Cao, and his identity is completely different. At that time, he needed to take advantage of the Son of Heaven and the Han Dynasty to dare to delve into it, but he was the Son of Heaven, so he naturally had a lot less concerns.

Of course, it's not appropriate to kill them all after all, so you have to be targeted and have a big show of killing chickens and monkeys!

Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the people in front of him.

This gaze fell on several officials, and it also made their hearts sink down: "Your Majesty ......"

Sun Ning slowly spoke: "I have already made a decision, whether it is the rebel thief in Jinling or the rebel thief in Xiangyang, we must severely punish it, so as to understand the discipline and national law of our Dayue army!" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
