Chapter 125
Huan Zeng brought only more than a thousand men and horses, and no more than 500 people participated in the battle. They were almost able to identify them in less than half an hour.
He Ran looked at the thirty or forty soldiers who were identified, and said with a gloomy expression: "On the battlefield, fighting bravely to be the first should be rewarded, but if you still do this in the face of your parents who support you, you are stupid bastards.
Well, due to previous precedents, there is no such provision in military law. Because you are ignorant and are driven by military orders, I will give you a light punishment this time and sentence you to three years of hard labor." After speaking, he turned to the people, "
Elders, please do not suspect that I am protecting my own soldiers. I have always been strict in running the army and will advance when I hear the drum. They have their faults."
The common people did feel that the sentence was too light, and a person must be killed to pay for his life. However, what the military advisor said was not unreasonable, so some reasonable people took the lead to express their understanding, and everyone said nothing.
He Ran turned to the group of people who had not been identified and said loudly: "General Zoe of all levels will line up in ranks!"
From Bingzhi to Mojia, they stood up in panic. He Ran first said to Bingzhi who was standing at the front: "Deputy General Zhong Min dares to disobey orders. You are of the same rank and can speak well in front of the commander."
"Yes, don't you know that killing people is wrong? Soldiers know that they can be forgiven. As a commander, you should know the righteousness, can you forgive the crime?" [
The Bingzhi was also a man, and he said: "As for how the military advisor should deal with the general, the general will be blamed. This time, the general also gave advice to General Huan. General Huan refused to obey. The general lacks the courage of Lieutenant General Zhong."
I don’t dare to disobey orders, and killing the people is not what I want. I don’t dare to quibble in order to reduce the crime. I just hope that the military advisor can have an idea of the general’s mood.”
He Ran nodded slightly and said: "If there is really any advice, then the crime will be reduced, but this will have to wait until verification. But even so, you will have worked hard for twenty years and will never be hired, otherwise you will
Don't even think about keeping this head, you have a big stake in dozens of lives."
Then he lowered his head and stopped making any sound.
He Ran faced the generals behind him and said: "Consolidation is supposed to be a capital crime. You will be punished by one level in order of rank. This time it is a bargain. If something like this happens in the future, it will be a death penalty for generals with more than 1,000 systems."
He looked around at all the soldiers and said loudly: "It's good that the military orders are like mountains, but it also depends on whether the military orders are in line with the laws of heaven and justice. Although obedience is your bounden duty as soldiers, I want soldiers who have a heart, a brain, a heart and a sense of justice."
Yes, against the enemy, you are the tiger and wolf warriors who make the princes from all sides change their colors. To the common people, you should be the warriors of benevolence and righteousness. In response to the military orders issued by Huan Zeng, you will be rewarded if you resist, and you will be punished if you follow them. No matter when, no matter what
In order to fulfill your duties, you must have a righteous heart, so that you can never be the accomplice of evil tigers, and truly become a heroic soldier who is worth supporting and willing to support the people!"
After saying these words, before the soldiers could react, the people cheered first, with excitement and joy in everyone's eyes.
An old man excitedly raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the military advisor! God has given the military advisor to bless our people!"
He Ran said to the people with a solemn face: "The elders are too magnanimous. It was me who led the army that caused such a tragic disaster. I cannot absolve myself of the blame. After I returned, I immediately ordered people to improve military discipline and strengthen the supervision of officers and soldiers."
I have given them instructions to make them understand the righteousness. It is said that those who do not know are not guilty. This time, the punishment for them is a little lighter. Please forgive me, elders. I also have to make it acceptable to all the soldiers in the army. If the punishment is too strict, it may not be able to convince the public.
However, the culprit will never be lenient. According to the previous method, I should have executed the county guard and the leading generals on the spot to give everyone a happy experience. But now that the law is being improved, everything must be done according to the rules.
When Lord Si Lukou makes a mistake in the trial, he will definitely announce the result to everyone, and everyone can request that the condemned criminal be taken here to be executed, as the law already has this provision."
"We want to see them beheaded with our own eyes!"
"Have your heart cut open and your body cut into thousands of pieces!"
"This law is good, but we just want to see them die a good death with our own eyes!
The people gnashed their teeth and shouted.
Du Ting's face turned pale, and he knelt down with a pop and said to He Ran: "Military advisor, please spare my life. I believe that I have been impartial and upright since I took office. Even if there is a mistake this time, the crime will not lead to death."
He Ran looked at him and said: "Whether your crime is worthy of death or not is not up to me. It depends on Lord Kou and the jurors. But...my Lord Du, the jurors are all randomly selected civilians.
, I think you should have an idea of what the people will think of what you do."
Du Ting's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, with a look of despair in his eyes.
He Ran stopped looking at him and said to the people: "Fathers, please withdraw your guard. You can go back and live peacefully. The dead and injured will receive corresponding compensation. I know that money cannot offset the pain of losing a loved one. I would like to apologize to everyone."
That's it." After saying that, he bowed down and gave a deep salute. Zhuyin, Kou Wei and others did not expect that he would do this, so they hurriedly followed suit.
The people had never seen anything like this before. They were at a loss for a moment. Some returned the courtesy, while others avoided it. They were in a mess.
After standing up, He Ran said to Kou Wei: "Your Excellency, please arrange for two of your subordinates to take the opportunity to explain the trial procedures to them. At this moment, the people are restless. I'm afraid that those who don't know the procedures will suspect that we are favoring the guilty officials if they see that we are not judging on the spot. Press
The rules for trials in different places, your lord, just let them be tried wherever you see. They have all been explained. Sir, please return to the royal city immediately. Our matters are important and cannot be delayed. I can't hold on for much longer. I can't tell where.
When Tian was tired, he returned to Zangxian Valley."
Kouvinai shook his head and said: "The talented ones don't bear heavy responsibilities, but we stupid people force ourselves to take responsibility, alas!"
He Ran winked at Zhuyin and whispered: "We have nothing to do. Let's go to the city for a walk first. When Zhong Min comes and replaces the inspector, we will go back." [
Zhuyin couldn't help but want to laugh every time he heard him call Huang Juan the inspector, but he couldn't smile on such occasions, so he got on his horse and left amidst the praises of the people.
After walking for a while, Zhuyin whispered: "Is your statement of encouraging people to hold weapons a bit too much? I think..."

He Ran interrupted: "This article must be written into the code. It does not need to be discussed at court. If it is to be discussed, it will be discussed after the system of people's participation in politics is perfected. I am afraid that the current officials will not pass this article. Don't object to it either.
I, believe me, there’s nothing wrong with this.”
Zhuyin said in a deep voice: "I understand very well what you just said. Well, I know that what you insist on is right in the end. I...just listen to you."
He Ran chuckled and said, "It's good to have a wife like Zhongshu Ling. If you don't object, it's useless for Su Ge and the others to object."
Zhuyin could not suppress his smile and said: "We are controlling the government."
He Ran curled his lips and said: "You think I am willing to control it? These are all annoying things. I would be happy to ignore them."
Zhuyin pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "I thought you brought Kou Wei here to let him preside over the case. If you don't let him try it in person, why did you bring him here?"
He Ran said with a bad smile: "I just want him to come and see for himself the disadvantages of the county governor's power being given to one party, so that he can have a more real understanding of the benefits of decentralization."
"Is this necessary? People like him can tell everything at once. I think it's superfluous."
He Ran said: "Even if it is redundant, I can still discuss unfinished matters with him along the way. Every day I can save is a day. I feel that I have endured it to the end. I really want to return to Zangxian Valley as soon as possible."
Zhuyin looked at him lovingly and said, "If you feel bored, just take a break. I find it very difficult for you to reach this point."
"There's no turning back when you shoot. Now that you've done it, you can't stop at this point. Fortunately, it's almost done. As long as they all understand the general meaning, I won't need to do the rest."
"Well, let's go. Let's talk to the inspector, and then we'll go play for a while. Which nearby city do you want to go to?"
"The closest one. Zhong Min will be there tomorrow at the latest. I don't dare to leave the inspector for too long. Her mouth is too mean and I can't bear it."
