execution ground.
After the announcement of the execution of the rebels was posted, the place was already full of people, with black heads everywhere.
"Emperor, do you really want to execute Luo Hong?"
On one side of the execution ground, Niu Zhen in Taichung, the supervisor, was filled with regret. This was a special room set up to observe the execution process.
Outside the room, Luo Quan was carrying two men on his back, carrying a Han style rifle like an execution soldier, and he couldn't see the look on his face at this time.
Xiao Ming sighed and said, "general Niu, what would you do if your soldiers made the same mistake as Luo Hong?"
"Of course, it's a cut and stand decision!" Niu said: "the army is afraid of discipline corruption. If it is handled unfairly, it will do great harm to the army. "
" what if this person is the one you trust most? "
" in the military, there is only military law, there is no difference between intimacy and estrangement! " The cow says in a loud voice.
"That's it. There are military laws and state laws in the army. Those who break the law but don't deal with it seriously are military laws. If those who break the law can't deal with it impartially, the law of the country will be corrupted. Today Luo Hong can be lenient outside the law, and others can be lenient outside the law. What's the use of this law?"
Niu Zhen sighed slightly and said, "what the emperor teaches us is that the old minister is confused. If Luo Hong's treason is lenient outside the law, the law of the Empire will lose the trust of the people. If the people no longer trust the law, they will no longer trust the court. From then on, the country and the people will no longer be of one mind."
”That's right. That's why I want to kill Luo Hong. If the man on the execution ground is my son, I will kill him as well. The law of the country is like a natural road. The road collapses, the mountain collapses, the stars fall, all things vanish, the law collapses, people's minds are confused, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the country is doomed. I would rather lose all the land that I have conquered than lose it To see the laws of the Empire trampled. "
Niu Zhen looks at Xiao Ming's cold expression and nods slowly. He knows that the emperor in front of him is no joke.
It seems that the era when the nobles of the state of Dayu could trample on the law wantonly is coming to an end. From then on, all the kings and the people have to live under the restriction of the law.
While they were talking, a commotion broke out. Niu Zhen looked out of the window. The soldiers escorted Cao Kun and his son and the rest of the merchant Council to the execution ground.
"Traitor!"
"Traitor!"
“……”
The crowd erupted into angry shouts. Cai Bangzi and the stone were thrown at Cao Kun and his son like rain.
There were two gallows on the execution ground. Cao Kun and Cao Zhengtong were taken to the bottom respectively, while others were taken to a long white wall.
The soldiers who executed stood in a long line, waiting for the order to be shot.
”Dog thief! "Niu Zhen looks at them and bites his teeth. After this period of interrogation, they get little information.
With their help, both Britain and France have made great progress in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geography and other basic sciences.
Although the students they brought didn't master the high-end technology, they mastered the knowledge they usually learned very firmly and comprehensively.
Now the west is in the stage of exploration in science, and what they bring is enough to improve the western scientific system.
Even without these traitors, with the popularization of imperial education, this knowledge will spread out with trade sooner or later, but their active betrayal of the country is still treason. After all, the west, who has mastered basic science, only needs to digest this knowledge to cause him a lot of trouble.
"Emperor, all the prisoners are here. Do you want to execute?" the executioner asks Xiao Ming for instructions.
"Execution! "
Xiao Ming gives the order decisively, and the bronze statues of Cao Kun and Cao Zhengtong have been cast. After the execution of the two people, the two statues will be transported to the gate of Qingzhou City, kneeling at the gate for generations and being despised by the world.
Under the gallows, Cao Kun and Cao Zhengtong were shaking all over like dysentery. In front of them was a loop of hemp rope.
As long as they put their heads in, the board under their feet will be opened.
”I don't want to die, I don't want to die "Cao Zhengtong talks like a babbler, but it's the soldiers who are waiting for him to put the rope around his neck.
Cao Kun was speechless and let the angry people smash things on him.
"I don't want to die Er... "
Cao Zhengtong's gibberish soon turned into a struggling voice that was strangled in his throat. At this time, their feet were hanging in the air, struggling for a while, and their movements soon stopped.
At the same time, a series of neat gunshots rang out, and the remaining evils of the merchant Council went to the end one after another.
After the death of these rebels, the people were excited.
The bodies of Cao Kun and his son were dragged down, and then another group of people were brought up. This is the rebellion led by GE Yiren and Luo Hong.
See Luo Hong, Luo Quan's body moved, he carried a rifle and other execution soldiers came to the execution position.Niu Zhen sighed again. He didn't have the heart to see it. He said goodbye to his eyes. However, Luo Xin's eyes were slightly red. He had accepted this fact, but even so, the one who was about to die was still his brother.
"Luo Hong, you are really confused. Even if you die in battle, it's better than here."
On the execution ground, Luo Quan stands behind Luo Hong, looking like he hates iron but not steel.
"Father, needless to say, it's me who humiliated the Luo family. I'm sorry for the Luo family, I'm sorry for the emperor, and I'm even more sorry for the brothers who followed me through life and death. I brought them to the gate of hell." Luo Hong looked directly at the white wall in front of him. After thinking all night, he figured out a lot of things.
The ups and downs of officialdom are common, but he is too obsessed with his position.
"It's my father's fault to let you come to Qingzhou. In this way, the commander of the southwest army is you. Luo Xin's character is gentle, and he won't be as impulsive as you." Luo Quan's hand with a gun is shaking. Luo Hong is his son. It's a difficult and necessary decision for him to shoot his son in person.
”Father, it's not your fault. I just don't want to admit that I'm not as good as Luo Xin. Watching him step by step, my elder brother is not as good as Luo Xin. I'm really out of balance. Now I think I'm really wrong. The emperor is right that he didn't let me be the commander of the military region. Let's do it. I'll repay my father's kindness in the next life. "
his voice fell, and suddenly the gunfire rang out, and Ge Yiren and a group of aristocrats who were plotting to revolt all fell into a pool of blood.
Luo Quan picked up the gun, shaking, he pulled the trigger, the gunshot sounded, Luo Hong's body slowly fell down.
Xiao Ming closed his eyes at the moment when he was shot. Now he finally understood the mood when Zhuge Liang cut Ma Su with tears.
After walking slowly out of the room, Xiao Ming said to Luo Xin, "Luo Hong is a pillar of the Empire. I am determined to make him commander of the Empire. "
" thank you, Emperor longen! " Rosin bowed his gratitude.
Looking at the sun rising from the dark clouds in the eastern sky, Xiao Ming stepped out of the execution ground under the protection of the guard.
He believed that the shock would make many people in China see clearly the fact that it was impossible for him to overthrow the Empire during his reign.
In this way, the interior of the Empire will be peaceful, and he will have more time to lay out the foundation of the Empire.
