22. Military law is like a mountain
……
"Prime Minister, I'm really just talking casually, please spare me once, I won't dare to do it again, Prime Minister, Prime Minister, Prime Minister......"
Du Ergou kept kowtowing, and he didn't dare to stop until the blood on his forehead flowed, and his face was covered with blood in the blink of an eye.
However, Fa Yan did not have the slightest fluctuation in his mood, and slowly spoke for a long time: "I Da Chu established the country with the law, and the national policies were all formulated by the prime minister.
If the prime minister lets you go at this time, what will the emperor think of the true appearance, and how will hundreds of thousands of Chu army soldiers look at the true appearance?
Especially now, the war is about to start, but you are spreading rumors on the other side of the long river, do you know what kind of threat this move will pose to the morale of our Chu army?
You should have shown your head in front of the army before you saw the prime minister, but the prime minister wants you to die to understand that my Chu country is humble and orderly,
There are strict rules on what to say and what not to say, but you blatantly disobey the military regulations under the original system, how can you serve the public if you say that you don't kill you?
How did the prime minister lead these hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves to expand the territory for the emperor? Not only will you die, but when you die you will be deprived of all the acres and houses that your family has.
Your fathers and mothers will also be relegated to untouchables waiting to be released, in short, everything today is caused by you, and this is the price of violating my Great Chu law! ”
When Du Ergou heard this, he was terrified, and wanted to crawl to the martingale to continue begging for mercy, but the guards in the tent held down in time and couldn't move, so he could only continue to beg for mercy loudly: "Prime Minister, if you really want to be punished, then punish me alone.
My parents are old, and my little sister has just passed the age of Lu, please let them go, please, please! ”
Fa Ying didn't pay attention to Du Ergou's plea for mercy at all, and said angrily: "Come on, drag this ** who disturbs the morale of the army out of the camp and behead the public!" ”
The guards immediately dragged Du Ergou to the outside of the tent, and Du Ergou shouted heartbreakingly: "Prime Minister, I am wronged!" I'm really not spreading rumors, why are you so ruthless. ”
"Wait!"
At this moment, the curtain was opened, and a young general under thirty strode into the tent, stopped the guards, and said to Fa Ying: "Prime Minister, why do you want to kill the generals of our army? ”
The name of the person who came was Luo Song, the general of the Chu State, who made great achievements for Huang Fu to establish the empire.
As soon as he saw Luo Song, Du Ergou seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and crawled to his feet, begging bitterly: "General, save me, I really didn't spread rumors, please intercede with the prime minister and let me go." ”
Luo Song pulled Du Ergou up, and then asked Fa Ying: "Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?" ”
Fa Ying's eyes were cold: "Du Ergou's demons confuse the public to disturb the morale of the army, and he has admitted the crime he has committed, and he should be the head of the law according to the military regulations, so as to show the three armies!" ”
Luo Song turned his head and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Du Ergou shook his head again and again: "General, the little one just made a mistake after dinner, and he casually said a few nonsense, and he really didn't disturb the morale of the army and spread rumors." ”
Luo Song nodded, and said to Fa Ying: "Prime Minister, the war is imminent, the officers and soldiers in the army are under a lot of pressure, and it is understandable to say a few words casually, why do you want to punish you like this?" Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers? ”
Fa Ying got up and replied: "The general's words are wrong, the war is imminent, and the military should be in one place, if people like Du Ergou who know the law and break the law are not severely punished today,
The officers and men of the three armies in Japan followed suit, and dared to ask how the prime minister would lead the army to fight? Military law is like a mountain, the law is unforgiving, such vain people must be dealt with solemnly, with the heart of the army! ”
Luo Song disagreed: "Just because of a few words, you have to put an innocent life in vain?" Prime Minister, how do you convince the public like this? ”
Fa Ying roared: "If you let it go, he will not be the only one who will die in the future!" But it is very likely that the officers and men of the three armies will be separated from Germany and fail miserably, dare to ask the general, can you pay this responsibility! ”
Luo Song was speechless for a moment, and finally asked word by word: "Then what did he say that the prime minister had to put him to death?" Is there really no room for manoeuvre? ”
Fa Ying said: "He said that the treatment of Han thieves is far better than that of my Chu army, dare to ask if this kind of rumor is going to spread in the army, how should you lead the army to fight with the general?" ”
Without waiting for Luo Song to reply, Fa Ying scolded angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Drag him out to get his hands right! Do you want to be like him!? ”
When the guard heard this, he immediately dragged Du Ergou out of the tent again.
But Du Ergou grabbed Luo Song's hand and said loudly: "General, you treat me and other soldiers like brothers and sisters, please say a few more kind words to the prime minister, it's really not good, let my family go, please general, general~"
Luo Song's face twitched, and he just wanted to speak, but he heard the words of Fa Ying in his ears: "General, in this battle of the Han Dynasty, the emperor ordered me to lead the three armies as the commander, could it be that you dare to disobey the emperor's order?" ”
When Luo Song heard this, he closed his eyes in pain, and with a wave of his hand, he shook off Du Ergou's hand that grabbed him.
"General, General! It's not a pity for me to die as a Daliah, but to die like this, I'm unwilling, unwilling~~"
However, no matter how Du Ergou shouted, he couldn't change his fate......
Along the Long River, Du Ergou knelt outside the barracks with his hands on his back, facing the north bank of the Yangtze River, the executioner behind him looked at him indifferently, surrounded by onlookers of Chu soldiers.
After the magistrate announced Du Ergou's guilt, the Chu soldiers were silent for a while, but soon became agitated.
"Damn it!"
"It's not a pity to disturb the morale of the army!"
"I really don't know what to do, dare to question the prime minister's words? Deserve! ”
"This kind of black sheep should be cut with a thousand knives, or the prime minister is benevolent and righteous, and he only gave him a knife, but he is happy, I bah~"
Listening to the cynicism of his colleagues, Du Ergou lowered his head and said nothing, tears running down his rough cheeks and sliding down.
"Execution!"
With the order of the magistrate, the executioner raised the butcher knife in his hand high, and stared at the back of Du Ergou's neck with cold eyes.
"God~" Suddenly, Du Ergou raised his head and roared loudly, "The Chu army will be defeated!" Chu thieves will die! Chu thieves will die! Hahaha-"
"Pss
Before the laughter stopped, another executioner grabbed his hair and pulled it down hard, and then the executioner who raised the knife swung it down, and his head fell off when he landed, and a bright red blood arrow sprayed in the center of the broken shoulder and neck, making a "zizi" sound, staining the embankment in front of Du Ergou's corpse red.
The next moment......
"Good, good kill!"
The numb officers and soldiers of the Chu army cheered one after another, as if they were celebrating the victory of the war.
Soon, the Law Enforcement Department collected Du Ergou's body and cleaned the blood from the shore.
"On the orders of the prime minister, Du Ergou's head was hung in the army for three days to set an example, I hope you must not have any different intentions, and take it as a warning!"
The officer of the Law Enforcement Department carried Du Ergou's head, and after he finished speaking to the soldiers in the Chu army camp, he returned to the commander's camp to reply.
Several sharp-eyed young soldiers suddenly discovered that Du Ergou's head did not have eyes on the jaw at all......
