Chapter 1862: Severe punishments shock peoples hearts
Lan Fang suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed for a while, with tears streaming down his face. After laughing, he stopped looking at Murong Sheng and turned away. Murong Yun on the side walked up to Murong Sheng and whispered to Murong Sheng: "Murong Qi's 30,000 troops
, is coming towards Dragon City, how should we deal with it?"
Murong Sheng's eyes flashed coldly: "Go out of the city to fight. This battle will forever determine who the Emperor of Dayan is!"
Three days later, Dragon City, City Head.
Murong Sheng was dressed in a dragon robe and was high-spirited. He stood at the top of the Dragon City. On a row of wooden poles outside the city gate, there were hundreds of dead heads stuck there. In addition to the orchids that had been placed at the Murong Ancestral Hall in the Holy Tree Valley a few days ago,
In addition to the heads of the clan, Duan Sugu, Song Chimei and other rebels, the latest dozens of heads were headed by Murong Qi, Yan Sheng, the leader of Dingling, and Wang Long, the leader of Wuhuan, were also listed on the left and right.
Feng Ba and Murong Yun stood behind Murong Sheng in silence. Murong Sheng did not look back and said: "Old Feng, Ayun, we have been friends for many years. At this time, only you can tell me
To be honest, do you think I am a bit too cruel? I won’t even spare my own people?"
Murong Yun sighed: "So you understand, Ah Sheng. I know you have always had your own opinion. You are not impulsive in everything, but act according to your plan. But now that our Murong family has just returned to the country, what we need is unity and unity."
, Aren’t you afraid that people will be disturbed if they kill each other like this?”
Murong Sheng turned his head and looked at Feng Ba: "Old Feng, do you think so too?"
Feng Ba shook his head: "I don't think so. You Murong clan seems to have cast a curse from heaven. Over the years, you will never be able to escape the tragic fate of fratricide. Even your father and many of your uncles
Like us, we have been fighting for a lifetime, and in the end the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. Instead of caring about the family ties and friendship, it is better to be ruthless and kill as a warning to others to prevent others from having any wrong ideas."
At this point, he pointed at Murong Qi's head: "For example, our Archi originally agreed with you to raise an army, and also agreed on who would take revenge and who would be the emperor, but he was not ambitious enough. After your revenge was successful,
Still raising troops to seize Dragon City, if such a person is not killed, he will become the next Murong Lin. From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with decisively getting rid of ambitious people."
Murong Yun said coldly: "But this is how the Lan clan ended. If relatives kill each other, it is our own strength that is wasted. Aren't we afraid that outsiders will benefit and everyone in the clan will be in danger?"
Feng Ba smiled slightly and shook his head: "The ones Ah Sheng killed were careerists who deserved to be killed. Murong Chong was supported by the rebels as a puppet to seize the throne, and Murong Qi launched an army to counterattack Longcheng. These people all deserved death.
He said that before the ancestors of the Murong family entered the country, Murong Han, who had made great contributions to the country and had made great contributions to the country, defected to Goguryeo and returned to Yan again. Although it was a pity to the people of the time, he promised not to fight among himself for decades.
Now that Dayan has finally succeeded in restoring the country, what is needed is internal unity. If we do not strictly punish things like seizing the throne for the same clan, I am afraid that traitors will soon be given a chance again."
Murong Sheng laughed and patted Feng Ba on the shoulder: "Old Feng, you are still wise, and you are not in vain when I saved your life from Xiyan. Speaking of which, there is really God's will in silence, and the benevolence of one thought back then."
, but today he has become the number one contributor to helping me accomplish my great cause. It seems that people still need to do something good."
Murong Yun curled up his lips: "Then what are you going to do next, Asheng? Do you want to continue to counterattack Hebei, or contact King Fan Yang of Qingzhou?"
Murong Sheng shook his head and said: "Although the Wei army in Hebei has retreated now, Longcheng has experienced several catastrophes, and people are tired of war. The last time the late emperor went on an expedition to restore the country, and the last piece of armor was not returned, it shows this. I can't make the same mistake again, so
, Hebei will not be able to go within a few years. What we have to do is to consolidate the Liao region and expand our power northward and eastward."
Murong Yun softly said "Oh": "So, are you going to conquer the Khitan and Xi tribes in the north, and go to the east to conquer Goguryeo?"
Murong Sheng nodded: "Yes, these are relatively easy to fight. After the victory, there will be war horses, iron weapons, cities, and population rewards. It is much better than an expedition that requires thousands of miles. As for Murong De in the south, hum, this
The old thief has also established himself as King of Yan. He wants to imitate the emperor's grandpa, but he doesn't have the ability or the fate. Apart from other things, he is nearly seventy years old, but he doesn't have a son or a half-brother, and he doesn't have a few sons.
After his death, the country will be in great chaos. Besides, how long can Nanyan survive, sandwiched between the two great powers of the Northern Wei and the Eastern Jin Dynasty? After I pacify the Khitan and Goguryeo, I will send an envoy across the sea to Qingzhou to report to Murong De
As long as he does not proclaim himself emperor and respects me as Zhengsu, we can still be relatives."
Murong Yun laughed: "I heard that Murong De changed his name to Murong Beide in order to avoid taboos, so that many people named De in Qingzhou would not have to change their names. This kind of small trick of hypocrisy can
Learn from it, the Liao region has been killing people too hard in recent years, if you act leniently, you will be able to calm people's hearts."
Murong Sheng looked at Feng Ba again: "Old Feng, what do you think?"
Feng Ba shook his head: "My opinion is exactly the opposite of Ayun's. The failure of the late emperor was that he was too lenient. He knew great evil but did not punish him. He knew he was loyal and did not obey. In the end, he was defeated and the country perished. This is a lesson.
Here in Longcheng, the people are fierce and disobedient to the king. Only by letting the people know that the national laws are strict can they dispel their disobedience. Otherwise, today it will be the Lan tribe who rebels, tomorrow it may be the Houmo tribe, and the day after tomorrow it may be the Yuwen tribe. Only by punishing the lawless ones
Only by severely punishing the prisoners can they feel the fear and authority of the country and not dare to make mistakes. Once the situation is stable and your Majesty is fighting everywhere and is invincible, he can then pardon them. Only in this way can we achieve great governance by using both soft and hard measures."
Murong Sheng laughed: "Look, this time Old Feng is exactly what I thought. Yes, you can't be like the late emperor. No matter how tolerant you are to the white-eyed wolf, it is useless. However, I heard that Uncle Xi and Queen Mother Ding
It’s not clear between the two, and the soldiers and civilians of Longcheng are talking about it, what should we do?”
Feng Ba curled up his lips: "There are too many people who know about this. It can't be solved by just catching a few and killing them. Let's do this. Your Majesty will go to Liaodong next month to attack Goguryeo. From now on, you will take Murong Xi with you.
On the one hand, as the patriarch of the Murong clan, he should charge into battle. This is tradition. On the other hand, he is away from home during the war. When he reaches his age in a few years, he will arrange a marriage. This man can only be happy when he is married.
Hoi An, you can let go of the ridiculous things you did when you were a teenager."
Murong Sheng raised his thumb: "You still understand me!"
