0370 Guilty and punished
This kind of atmosphere is very deadly, because the Shen family benefits from this, even if it rises to a high position in power in the future, his family has no position to use severe punishment to rectify the world. Therefore, Shen Zhezi is also trying his best to erase his family's earlier rebellious label, marry a princess, raise Qingwang, and win over many families to make a fortune together. Including the fact that he took such a big risk to recover Jiankang and compete for merit, it was all to dilute his family's rebellious label.
It is not unreasonable for people to look down on deeds, because in the current world, no matter how big the deeds are not as good as a good background, no matter how great the deeds are not as good as a good reputation, no matter how great the deeds are not as good as the people in key positions at the critical moments!
In the case of Shen Zhezi alone, in this rebellion, he rescued the Empress Dowager and King Langya, established a platform in Jingkou, and completed the division of Huiji, which can be said to be a great success. Even if he doesn't have the great merit of recovering Jiankang, if the counterinsurgency is completed in the coming day, he will still be rewarded by high-ranking officials. And even if he gets such a great achievement now, it is impossible to reward him too much in the coming days beyond his age and qualifications.
But you can't just look at the present, Shen Zhezi wants to erase the rebellious label of his family, but what has happened has happened, and it can't be erased, so it can only be covered up with one thing by one! He wants people to mention the Shen family in the future, and the most they can talk about is his deeds, not his past rebellious deeds, he is not fighting for the official, but for whitewashing!
I remember that I have read many stories in later generations, those who killed people and set fires when they were young came to cultivate their self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and it is not easy to say what is whitewashed. Shen Zhezi was deeply touched, and he made a lot of efforts to clear his family, and he risked his life several times. In the eyes of the world, it is really unreasonable to have to fight with his life with such a family background. But Shen Zhezi understands that he will have to repay sooner or later, and he is paying off his father's debts.
As for the purpose of whitewashing? For the Northern Expedition!
The Northern Expedition is a major event in the whole world, and it is necessary to consider not only the situation in Jiangdong, but also the situation in the north. The Northern Expedition does not mean that as long as there is a strong army, it will be invincible and invincible. This is an extremely complicated matter, what kind of face does Shen Zhezi appear in front of those dock castle lords and old surnames in the Northland, and it can even be said that it can directly determine the success or failure of the Northern Expedition!
The most obvious example is that during the Northern Expedition, Zu Ti had a bad reputation and was not known, and it was difficult to move forward in the early days, with no funding from the imperial court, and no support in the north, and those dock lords even repeatedly raised troops to attack Zu Ti. At that time, in the eyes of the people of the Northland, Zu Ti and Liu Kun could not be compared. But with the big battles, the reputation gradually grew, and more and more people came to support him, and finally laid down a huge situation, recovering the south of the Yellow River!
But after Zu Ti died, Zu Yue took over, and the results of his brother's Northern Expedition were lost little by little, and finally with the chaos in front of him, Zu Ti's Northern Expedition was gone!
If Shen Zhezi wants to go on the Northern Expedition, he must have a strict management of his image, if he bears the reputation of a rebellious family, how can he be convincing? And to be honest, even if the Shen family has a little momentum now, it is just a nest, and after crossing the river, almost no one knows which onion the Shen family is.
Shen Zhezi needs to do something to cover up his family's disgraceful past and portray himself as a person who knows how to plan and makes great achievements in the world! He not only needs to have the elegance of a high gate, can gain a foothold in Jiangdong, but also needs to have the courage of a military strongman, can gain the trust of the lord of the North Dock Wall, and also needs to have the reputation of Jian Ba Liangcai, so that those talents in the North can be used by him.
His Northern Expedition has already begun!
How to deal with this crime of the Su Guard rebels is much more tricky for Shen Zhezi than the recovery of Gyeonggi, it is true that these Su Guard rebels are not under his control, he can ignore them and leave them to others to deal with. But he knows that no matter who this matter is pushed to, it will eventually be over, because the stakes are too big!
And the saddest thing is that these guards committed such atrocities simply because they feared that they would be incorporated into the military cantonment camp in the future. But he had already won a chance for these guards to be exempted from this crime, and this tragic incident was completely unnecessary and meaningless!
"You go, and recruit all those rebel army leaders from outside to the county office."
After sitting in the seat and muttering for a long time, Shen Zhezi pointed at Ji Chang a little weakly and said. Since no one can handle this matter well, and let him meet it, then let him solve it.
"How is the pony going to ......?"
After hearing this, Ji Chang wiped away his tears and looked at Shen Zhezi with wide eyes, but he only saw that Shen Zhezi's face was extremely gloomy, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately got up and took the order.
After nearly half an hour, the generals of the rebellious army entered the county office with a suspicious look. Although the number of rebels was large, there were more than 4,000 people under Shen Zhezi's department outside the jurisdiction of Qu'a County, and there were more than 2,000 well-equipped and luxurious Dongyang troops outside the county office.
However, they were just worried that they would be reprimanded, after all, there was such a big blood-colored mark on Ji Chang's face, but if Shen Zhezi dared to kill them by force, these people would not believe it.
Sure enough, after everyone entered the county office, they found that the doors were all wide open, only some servants were sprinkling and sweeping, and there was no tension between the swords. This made everyone's somewhat apprehensive mood settle down slightly, and they began to think about what price they would have to pay to get through this hurdle.
After entering the lobby, everyone saw Shen Zhezi sitting on the main seat, his face not very good-looking. They also knew that this time was too much, and they didn't expect to get any good face from Shen Zhezi, so they lowered their heads and sat down one after another, and then found that they all had pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on their seats.
Seeing this group of people entering, Shen Zhezi's anger surged out again. Most of the generals of the guards are children of the family, and in addition to Ji Chang, there are also many people who have some friendship with Shen Zhezi. Thinking of the crime committed by these people, Shen Zhezi was really impressed by them.
Everyone sat down, but they didn't dare to speak. After a long time, Shen Zhezi spoke in the banquet: "The rebellion is about to be decided, I and you are lucky not to be in the military disaster, there is still a time to meet again, I can't help but sigh." ”
As soon as the topic was opened, everyone became active and spoke at the banquet, some talked about how they insisted on discipline in the rebel department, and some praised Shen Zhezi's outstanding achievements this time, and the atmosphere was very warm for a while.
Hearing these people talking, Shen Zhezi really didn't have the mood to listen to it anymore, so he untied the saber on his waist and slapped it on the case in front of him. Everyone was already weak-hearted, and when they saw this scene, they stopped talking one after another, and looked at the doors and windows with some suspicion.
"Ji Chang, get up and tell you Taichung about the aftermath of the Su Guard's decree."
When Ji Chang heard Shen Zhezi's words, his expression became even more sad, and he stood up slowly in the middle of the banquet, and said in a trembling voice: "There is a decree in Taichung, and the guards who follow the rebels will return to their hometowns, and they will not enter the tun, and those who have merit will discuss merit and grant land." ”
When they heard this, they were stunned. To be honest, there are naturally many of these people who are greedy and despicable, and want to take advantage of the last bit of time to loot wealth. But it is undeniable that some of them are indeed like Ji Chang, not for themselves, but for the hope of earning a little subsistence for the soldiers under their command and deliberately conniving.
After all, such a large-scale evil, no matter how clean the killing, it can't be hidden, even if it can be blamed on the rebels on the surface, but the people of the time are not stupid, and the reputation and future of these people will eventually be harmed. These sons of the family naturally do not have the worries of those ordinary soldiers, and when they participate in these things, they probably have a noble sense of sacrifice like Ji Chang, sacrificing their reputation to fight for a little wealth for the soldiers. Or they are simply powerless to restrain their subordinates, but they are coerced by their subordinates and cause trouble.
But especially such a person, Shen Zhezi hated it the most. If they were just for their own selfishness, they would have pulled them out and cut them down. If you are stupid, you are stupid to do things!
After listening to the content of the decree, everyone was stunned on the spot, and their emotions became extremely complicated in an instant. Ji Chang had already knelt down again, and said in an astringent voice: "The big mistake has been made, and I am ashamed of the villagers, but I ask for punishment from the horse!" ”
Seeing Ji Chang like this, a few people in the banquet probably couldn't stand the condemnation of conscience, and they all came out to bow down and plead guilty. But there were many more people sitting in the seats, bewildered.
"Go back, your life can be exchanged for the lives of a few villagers?"
Shen Zhezi sat in the middle of the banquet and pulled out his sword suddenly, with the flash of the sword, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and someone couldn't help but exclaim: "The horse, I, and I are really not selfish......
"Shut up! I don't care if you have any hardships or not, you killed people, and you caused disasters. If you have repentance, write down the sins! ”
"How is this possible!"
"The ...... of Forgiveness of Sins"
When everyone heard this, they all changed color, and when they learned that good governance had been promulgated in Taichung, they did not have remorse, but it was impossible for them to write down the guilt!
"Ji Chang, come here!"
Shen Zhezi waved his hand, and Ji Chang hurriedly walked up again.
"Put your hands on it!"
When Ji Chang pressed his left hand on the bookcase in front of Shen Zhezi with a little doubt, Shen Zhezi waved the sword in his hand, and the blood light flashed suddenly, and the two fingers of Ji Chang's left hand were broken together!
Hiss......
Seeing this, everyone gasped, and Ji Chang had already rolled to the ground screaming, and someone from behind the hall rushed out and pressed Ji Chang to the ground to stop the bleeding and bandage him.
"If the ink is not thick, then write it in blood! You all stepped out of the sea of corpses and blood, you should not be afraid of blood, right? ”
Shen Zhezi sneered, then turned his head and said to a servant behind him: "Write it down, General Ji Chang's battle formation bravely kills the enemy and beheads seven!" ”
Seeing that Ji Chang's body was half bloodstained, and he was pressed to the ground so painful that he kept rolling his eyes, everyone was even more awe-inspiring. However, one of the people in the banquet suddenly kicked the case and jumped up a few times, pointed at Shen Zhezi and shouted: "How about our merits, we have our own protection measures, why not work for the horses!" I just don't write, what about you! ”
"If you don't write, get out!"
Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, two more people stood up and walked out of the hall with the previous man. When the others saw this, they were all interested in moving, but before they could get up, they saw a rain of arrows falling, and the three of them were nailed to death by arrows under the porch!
"I am not underestimating you, with your group of stragglers, it will be a few days before you riot in the country. But if our Dongyang Army wants to kill all the thousands of murderers outside, it won't take a quarter of an hour! ”
After Shen Zhezi finished speaking, he stood up and roared angrily: "Write or not!" ”
"Write...... Write! ”
When everyone in the hall saw this scene, their bodies trembled as if they were suffering from malaria, and they picked up the pen on the desk and hurriedly wrote.
"I can't die, get out and write to me!"
Shen Zhezi walked to the bottom of the hall and kicked Ji Chang in the waist. Although Ji Chang was still in unbearable pain, he still trembled and fell back to his seat, picked up the pen and wrote quickly.
After about half an hour, everyone finished writing, but Shen Zhezi didn't answer, but said in the middle of the banquet: "Exchange with each other and see if there are any deletions." ”
Everyone didn't dare to disobey Shen Zhezi's intentions at this time, and after hearing this, they hurriedly handed the content they wrote to others, and hurriedly took a look at the crime papers written by others.
When everyone circulated it, Shen Zhezi asked people to put away the incriminating evidence, but he didn't look at it, but just asked people to bring a brazier and throw it into it casually. He didn't even need to look to know how much evil these people had done!
When everyone saw this scene, they all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that once those contents were spread, it would not only harm their respective futures, but also affect their respective families!
"Do you know the depth of your sin?"
"Know ......"
"Should the guilty be punished?"
"When the ...... is punished"
Although Shen Zhezi also knew that it would be difficult to kill all these people, if he let them go so lightly, it would really exceed his bottom line. He said in a deep voice in the banquet: "Yuzhou is in turmoil, several towns in Jiangbei are almost abandoned, and there is no shelter in the north and south. After returning to the capital, you all led your subordinates to go to Jiangbei to build a pond to defend it to pay for your previous crimes, are you willing? ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were a little ugly, and they knew a little bit of common sense that if Shouchun was not guaranteed, there would be almost no danger to defend north of Jiankang, and Qianhu might come south at any time. When they go there, they have to be vigilant day and night, and even be ready to fight to the death. But do they have a choice? The dozen or so people in the hall each passed on the accusations, and although they couldn't understand the deep meaning in their minds at the moment, they could always feel the threat contained in it.
After a long silence, one of the people in the banquet said: "If I am equal to Jiangbei and can create meritorious deeds, can I be rewarded for meritorious deeds?" ”
"You have harmed the people of Jiangdong Township, so you have to go to Jiangbei to guard the people of the Shelter Township to pay for your sins. If there is merit, why not reward? ”
Ji Chang had already turned over and knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The last general is willing to go, and the last general is willing to die in Jiangbei to pay for the previous sins!" ”...
