Chapter 39: Kill according to the law
Glancing at Gan Zhaoji, who was kneeling on the ground, Xu Ping looked at Wang Shougui and said: "Bear it, you go to Qinfeng Road to be the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and you can report every move of the border army to the imperial court." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Since you came to Qinzhou, all the discussions related to military and political affairs in the Shuai Mansion have never been hidden from you, only you don't come, and I won't call without you. However, this dynasty has learned from the disadvantages of the Tang Dynasty's supervision of the army and the country, and there are also many prohibitions on the local area. ”
Wang Shougui was stunned for a moment, looked at Gan Zhaoji who was kneeling on the ground, felt a little bad in his heart, and said stubbornly: "I am the eyes and ears of the imperial court, for the imperial court to pro-military and political affairs, to inspect border affairs, and to play the newspaper machine and text." ”
Xu flattened his face and said in a deep voice: "I'm asking you, what are the things that should not be done!" ”
Wang Shougui cowered, lowered his head, but did not speak.
Xu Ping sighed: "You still want me to say it." The initial set of the horse to bear is just to report the words of the imperial court, and now the imperial court relies on the ears and eyes all the way, you can predict the military aircraft, the guards of Chazhou County will be lawless, if there is a march and war, you can watch the battle and report the merits and punishments to the court, this is what you should do. However, they are not allowed to accept the interference of the state and county officials, interfere in the military, accept local pleadings, intervene in tea and salt and other forbidden things, and still less decide on rewards and punishments without authorization. The most important thing is not to interfere in the military! Otherwise, you will not become the prison army of the Tang Dynasty! ”
Wang Shougui forcibly argued: "Marshal, I didn't interfere in the military, you are trying to add a crime-"
"Then what were you talking to Gan Zhaoji before? You just came back from the Guanshan exercise, and you didn't come to the Shuaifu to inquire about the matter of reporting to the imperial court, and you discussed privately with the capital eunuchs under the Shuaifu, and you didn't interfere in the military? As a horse to bear, you can report the matter of Qin Fenglu to the imperial court, when will you be allowed to point fingers? There are words in the stomach, written in the recital, no one cares about you! Dare to talk and shake the hearts of the army, are you not good for the sword on my waist! ”
Looking at Tan Hu, who was standing behind Xu Ping with a sword, he was fierce and vicious, and Wang Shougui only felt that his scalp was numb. Of course, the border marshal can't take the horse away, but Zhao Zhen's authority to act cheaply to Xu Ping is too great, and he really gave him a charge of confusing the army, and Wang Shougui didn't know what Xu Ping would do. Even if he doesn't cut it, as long as this crime is confirmed, Wang Shou will also be punished.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Shougui protested: "Jie Shuai, although I am under the commander, I have never been subject to the border marshal when I bear official affairs, you don't have to scare me!" If you say that I interfere in the military, then there must be evidence, don't slander good people, I will judge by myself! ”
"Do you want proof? I'll give you proof! Xu Ping sneered and shouted loudly, "Come on, bring people in!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Zhang took a few sergeants, pushed the door in, and pushed the three people tied up to the ground.
When Wang Shougui looked at these three people, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he couldn't speak anymore.
All three of them were dissatisfied with the new military system, and they were used to being arrogant and domineering. Before returning to Qinzhou, on the way, they secretly found Wang Shougui and complained to him that Xu Ping's approach was to change the law of the ancestors. and instigated Wang Shougui to play the court and replace Xu Ping, otherwise he would cause a big disaster later, and Wang Shougui would also be implicated.
Seeing that Wang Shougui didn't speak, Xu Ping said to Gan Zhaoji on the side: "Gan Dujian, these three people are dissatisfied with the Shuaifu, and they privately found a horse to bear Wang Shougui, arrange the commander, and discuss the military and politics indiscriminately!" You lead the military law department, how to deal with it, you decide according to military law! ”
A cold sweat broke out on Gan Zhaoji's forehead, and he stammered: "Talking about military politics in vain, slandering the marshal, according to the law-law-"
Xu Ping narrowed his eyes, looked at Gan Zhaoji and said, "Why, let you lead the military law department, you can't even remember the military law!" ”
Gan Zhaoji opened his mouth, calmed his mind, and said, "According to the law, you should be killed!" ”
Xu Ping nodded and said in a deep voice: "Since I arrived in Qinzhou, I haven't beheaded a single person in the army!" As a general, you should always be merciful, and you should not anger your soldiers for small reasons. I am a border marshal in order to fight wars, to ensure the peace of one side, to quell the rebels of the rebellious court, and the same is true for the generals and soldiers. Although the identities are different, they are all the same to do things for the imperial court. However, there are military laws and military laws in the army, and even I must abide by them. You saw this walking horse bear the king's rules, and he said that he just wanted to look at me, the border marshal. Not only to watch, but also to show me what I did right and what I did wrong. A small worship officer, Zang is handsome, it is really bold! Reckless! - You see, I also have to abide by military law, not to mention the generals and soldiers? I don't want to kill people in my own army, but if someone wants to die, what can I do?! ”
Zhang Kang had already seen that Wang Shou was not pleasing to the eye, and said loudly at this time: "The subordinate generals live and die, and the handsome will decide with one word!" These people died, and the handsome invited the Son of Heaven to sword and beheaded him! Hang your head on the gate and set an example for the others! ”
Xu Ping waved his hand: "You can't be so reckless!" Although they orchestrated me, I did not want to kill them, and as the commander of an army, how could I punish my subordinates for personal joy and anger. -- It's not that I'm going to kill them, it's military law that wants to kill them! ”
After speaking, Xu Ping said to Gan Zhaoji: "Human life is at stake, even in the army, you can't kill a person!" Since you are also the military judicial department, it will be handed over to you for trial, and whether you live or die is determined by military law. Remember, the evidence must be conclusive so that no one can say anything. They are looking for their own way to bear, but don't let them be embarrassed, and they went to the court to say that our army deliberately framed him and ignored military law. Gan Dujian, this matter is licensed, Wang Shougui can participate, and he must be left speechless. ”
Gan Zhaoji forked his hand and promised.
Xu Ping said to Wang Shougui again: "Bear it, what do you think?" The case is tried together with Gandujian, and I will not wronged you. ”
Wang Shougui closed his eyes and didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard.
"Okay, so be it." Xu Ping turned his head and instructed Tan Hu, "You bring the sword and follow Gandu Prison, if there is anyone who disrupts the trial and interferes with military law, you will be killed first and then played!" That's it for today, let's disperse! ”
"Wait!" Wang Shougui suddenly stopped and bowed his hand to Xu Ping, "Jieshuai, these three people did look for me, but I didn't promise them anything. They deserve to die if they come to me according to military law, but they are not the ones I am looking for, so why do you say that I interfere in military politics? ”
Xu Ping looked Wang Shougui up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that they shouldn't look for you?" ”
"Yes. But they are looking for me, how to punish them is the business of the Shuai Mansion, it has nothing to do with me! ”
Xu Ping sneered: "Since you know that you shouldn't, why don't you tell me immediately?" It's inconvenient to talk about it on the road, and you still don't say it when you return to Qinzhou. I've been waiting for you in the Shuai Mansion for so long, but you have talked about friendship with Gan Dujian, and you have abolished the public for personal reasons, haven't you?! ”
Wang Shougui took a deep breath: "Naturally, I want to come to the Shuaifu to report, but I just happened to meet Gandujian, what's wrong with gossiping?" This is not an emergency military situation, it is almost a moment! ”
"When you go back to Beijing, you are all going to be in front of you immediately, and you are not allowed to talk to anyone. Oh, you don't know this rule in the army? Speaking of this, Xu Ping waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense with me, if you have something to say, you can tell Gandujian and go back to the capital to talk about it!" You have heard the case for me, if there is anything wrong, be careful of your head! ”
