Chapter 1413 : Chapter 708 Convincing others with virtue (2)
Liu Feng said with a smile. Gu-Li-wang-shou-fawww
What Liu Feng said was quite an understatement, but it made Zhang Zhen tremble. He had just escaped from the case of drunkenly scolding the crown prince, and now his domestic slave assassinated the king's general.
This kind of thing happens one after another. This is really, really a big blow.
Zhang Zhen's legs gave way and he fell to the ground.
Zhang Zhen, who used to be the Third Duke of the dynasty and the most respected Taiwei, after Liu Feng entered Xu Capital, the Zhang Zhen he saw was considered high-spirited. But now, he is wearing prison uniform.[
His face couldn't stop looking pale.
Although this person had once been against him and even insulted him while drunk, he had received the punishment he deserved. Not only was he dismissed from his official position, but his family property was also heavily damaged.
Physically and mentally tired.
And this time it was an even bigger blow, and it just so happened that this incident probably had nothing to do with the old boy.
For the first time, Liu Feng felt a little sympathy for Zhang Zhen in his heart, and he couldn't help but said: "Old sir, there is no need to be like this. Although I am not a merciful person, I will retaliate sometimes. But the most unpleasant thing in my life is being taken advantage of.
"
After saying that, Liu Feng paused and said with a smile: "Since the old gentleman voluntarily resigned from his title and gave money for atonement. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, you can get your own. Don't worry, I will be alone."
I will never take advantage of the situation to kill anyone."
"The general is merciful, the general is merciful. Sir, no, I was really fooled by lard before. I am really, really sorry for being the enemy of the general."
Zhang Zhen suddenly burst into tears and bowed down.
This time, I really couldn't be more grateful. Liu Feng spared Chen Hong's life and dealt with it justly. He once cursed him for being hypocritical, but it was his turn.
Only then did he realize that this was not hypocrisy. It seemed to him to be lenient.
Even Zhang Zhen did not expect that a political opponent like himself who once wanted to share power from this general would fall into the hands of this general twice.
And this second time, it was almost fatal.
It was an assassination. Even if it was his domestic slave, he couldn't escape the involvement. The clans being executed were all minors, and in the end, the three clans were wiped out.
But I didn't expect that Liu Feng didn't take advantage of the situation.
Is it just because he is unhappy about being taken advantage of? Zhang Zhen doesn't think it's just simple. If he doesn't have some kindness in his heart, he will be replaced by a very spicy boss.
Even if he is being used by others, he will show no mercy when suppressing his political opponents.
This time, Zhang Zhen bowed sincerely and burst into tears. It was out of his true intention and not just a pretense. He completely regretted how wrong it was for him to be against Liu Feng.
When Liu Feng saw Zhang Zhen like this, he felt a little unnatural. He waved his hand and said, "Take him away and take good care of him first."
"Promise." The official agreed and went up to help Zhang Zhen.[
But Zhang Zhen bowed to Liu Feng again before being helped away by the officials.
"Is this just convincing people with virtue?"
Looking at Zhang Zhen's changes before and after, Liu Feng felt a little enlightened. Clear rewards and punishments can make his subjects grateful and his enemies punished.
But it cannot capture the heart of the enemy.
And if you convince people with virtue, you can even capture the hearts of your enemies.
This opened a door for Liu Feng, and there were many treasures inside the door.
Liu Feng, because of his orthodox status in the Han Dynasty, has acquired many talents. However, there are still many talents in the world who have already pledged their allegiance to others and are very loyal to them.
If you pass by as an orthodox member of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that the other party will be dismissive. Power will only make these talents go further and further away. But if you convince people with virtue, there may still be some hope.
Liu Feng couldn't help but start to think about the civil and military talents of Cao Cao and Sun Ce.
