Chapter 344: Do something wrong to admit punishment
Since Emperor Liang came to the throne, except for the initial purge of old ministers who deposed the emperor, in the following ten years, although he has always been iron-blooded in the management of national affairs, like today, he will easily destroy the entire state.
It was the first time that all the young officials were executed.
No one knows how angry Emperor Liang is at this moment, but many people are already numb at this moment. They may have been chilled to the bone by the snow and wind. It seems difficult to arouse their emotions in this way, and they forget to cry.
But many people were actually still immersed in shock and had not yet woken up. It was not until the soldiers entered the courtyard and dragged them out that they woke up. However, most people actually did not have the strength to shout at all and just begged.
He looked at Emperor Liang.
According to the laws of Daliang, trying them will take a lot of time, require officials from the Ministry of Punishment, and even officials from the Three Law Departments. But no matter what, the Emperor of Daliang has set the tone. All officials involved in this case must be involved.
Everyone will face death, even those who come from the so-called aristocratic families, especially now.
Emperor Liang looked at the officials being dragged away in silence.
Soon, the yard became quiet.
Only the woman and her daughter were left.
The woman did not dare to look at Emperor Liang at this moment. She just knelt on one side with her head lowered.
No one would have thought that one day the man he would take home at will would be His Majesty the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty.
The little girl didn't quite understand what the words "His Majesty the Emperor" meant. At this moment, she was still looking at Emperor Liang with some curiosity, but she was also kneeling and her mother would not allow her to stand up.
Emperor Daliang came to the woman and did not help her up. He just said: "I eat you a meal, which is considered as a reward. In fact, if you really want to say it, I am still sorry for you, because this is my duty.
I didn’t do a good job.”
The woman lowered her head and could not say anything. She had already burst into tears and the tears kept falling.
Emperor Liang slowly walked toward the door and said softly: "There are still people dying in the North, and they have been dying for who knows how many years. I want to not see any more deaths in the North in the future, but I probably can't do it. I can only hope that when they die,
After that, those who are alive will really be able to live well."
The woman suddenly raised her head and wanted to say something, but found that the man whom she might only see once in her life had already walked out of the courtyard and closed the door.
She was a little disappointed, but in the end she just bit her lip and said nothing.
…
…
Outside the door, Xu Ming, the current guard of Xuanling County, was standing quietly on the street.
Emperor Liang walked in the wind and snow and said with a smile: "General Xu, will you accompany me for a walk?"
Xu Ming whispered: "I obey your order."
So the two of them walked slowly away in the wind and snow. The long street had been cleared long ago, and only Emperor Liang and Xu Ming were the only ones.
Neither of them walked very fast. Xu Ming followed Emperor Daliang one step or so without raising his head. He could only see the broken imperial robe of Emperor Daliang.
For this peerless warrior who traveled thirty thousand miles to Mobei to fight the Demon Emperor and finally returned to Daliang safely and soundly, Xu Ming had great admiration for him, even if he put aside his identity as the Emperor of Daliang.
"Your Majesty, I still feel that it is not appropriate to let Wei Feng die in peace like this."
Xu Ming hesitated for a long time before finally speaking. Being an official in the officialdom and leading soldiers have always been two different things. Xu Ming felt that he could do a good job in the latter, but he had never really done a good job in the former, so he should be able to do it at this moment.
If he doesn't speak, he won't say it, so as not to be considered as adding insult to injury, but his nature dictates that if he doesn't speak now, he won't be the same.
Emperor Liang did not speak.
Xu Ming then continued: "Your Majesty, although Wei Feng did nothing in colluding with monks outside the country, it was already a huge mistake. According to my opinion, this is no different from regicide.
If a madman like Wei Feng, who colluded with foreign monks to murder His Majesty, can still live in peace, then won’t the entire Liang Dynasty be filled with ghosts from now on?"
Xu Ming could see clearly what happened before, and of course many people could. After something like this happened, many people would naturally think that this was the benevolence of Emperor Liang, but he felt that iron and blood methods should still be used at this moment.
At that time, benevolence did not work at this moment.
Emperor Liang did not turn his head, but said calmly: "Ruling a country is like cooking fresh food. You, a martial artist, don't know this kind of thing. It is reasonable. But if you want me to explain to you the cause and effect at this moment, it seems that you can't.
It makes no sense."
When Xu Ming heard this, he was sweating profusely even though it was a snowy day.
He was not stupid and could understand the implication, otherwise he would not have understood the truth when Wei Feng was captured.
Emperor Daliang turned around, patted Xu Ming's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I am not a god, there are many things in the world that I cannot see, but if I can't see it and believe that there are no such things, I will definitely not be able to do it.
I may never come to Xuanling County in this life, and I may not know what will happen to this place in the future."
Xu Ming broke out in cold sweat. He knelt down in an instant, bowed his head and said, "I swear to the death that I dare not betray your majesty or betray the great beam!"
Emperor Liang looked at Xu Ming who was kneeling on the ground and said softly: "We, the monarchs and ministers, still have a lot to do. Those are things that can be left in the annals of history. Don't go astray, otherwise you will really be ashamed of future generations."
…
…
Camp outside the city.
Wei Feng looked at the packed things and waved the two soldiers out. He looked at the chair that once belonged to him with some nostalgia and sighed.
In fact, whether as an official, as a person, or as a leader, Xu Ming simply cannot be compared with him.
Xu Ming could see some, but Wei Feng could actually see everything.
The Emperor of Liang did not kill anyone, at least he did not kill him personally. In fact, it was not because he was a disciple of the Northern General. He just did not want to implicate too much. At least his family had nothing to do with this matter. If he was colluding with Fangwai at this moment
If the monk is caught for the crime and is found to be a ghost, his family will also be implicated, so he will let him retire on his own.
But retiring from old age does not really mean returning to old age.
After he returns to his hometown, he will also die.
When the time comes, whether he dies by himself or someone else helps him, he will actually have to die.
It is impossible for him to be alive. If the plan of the monks outside the country fails, there will definitely be no clue.
So Wei Feng actually had no choice, he could only accept it quietly.
Go back home and die.
This is already his life.
Wei Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Why bother? You can't blame anyone else."
