Chapter 153: Two horses like hands
The second watch, there is another watch in the afternoon.
……
In the "Law of Zhao Xuanzi" that Zhao Wuxian read through, the crime of rape should be "city resistance", that is, punishment to do hard work such as building walls, which is equivalent to a prison sentence.
Wuxian couldn't help but sigh that these subordinates of his were not NPCs set up by him, but real people, and they all had their own joys, sorrows, and bad tempers.
Wang Sun period adhered to the family's loyalty to the Zhao clan's suzerain; Sheep tongue Rong has the ambition of reviving the sheep tongue clan; Yu Xi is interested in Dou's chubby chick; Mucha blushes in embarrassment when he sees the maid; Jing felt sorry for his sister; Tian Ben also has his own advantages, but there is also a side that makes Wuxian disgusting and hateful......
In the face of different things, they will make different choices, and Zhao Wuxian can't completely control them. It's like sometimes a horse will go off the leash, and sometimes your left hand will suddenly hit your right hand...... Killing or cutting it down is not a good idea after all.
"Am I being too soft-hearted?" Zhao Wuxian also reflected on some of his own styles.
Prior to this, the laws and regulations of Chengxiang were not clear, and they mainly followed the vague "Law of Zhao Xuanzi", which governed both the people and the army, and it was difficult to distinguish between them. After the incident of Jing and Tian Ben, Zhao Wuxian felt that it was time to promulgate a batch of more stringent new military laws!
From then on, he was to pledge his personal allegiance to the people, and to keep them in line with his purpose as much as possible, with affection and law as a rein. Like a horse galloping with a chariot, and like a pair of arms that use freely, as the poem says, "the bridle is like a dance, and the two horses are like hands."
But before that, we have to solve this problem first. After thinking about it, Zhao Wuxian asked Jing and his sister to be called to the township temple, and in front of the two, announced the punishment of Tian Ben......
……
Jing's sister, like him, was stubborn in words, and looked docile and petite, and Wuxian had already asked Wei to take her in to bathe and change her clothes, and now she had her head down, and there were still tears on her face.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was not as strict as the later generations on women's chastity, and there were often young men and women who were in love with each other in the mulberry forest, and their families were also resigned. Among them, several famous wild places, the grass of the Yan State, the Qi State of the Xiangyi Society and Temple Meeting, the Song State of the Mulberry Forests all over the place, and the romantic and broad Yunmeng of the Chu State, are all good places for men and women to have trysts.
Afterwards, some people push the boat along the river, just as the poem says, "Erbul Zheng, the body is not to blame, come with a car, and bribe me to move", go through a procedure, and marry a regular couple.
But some, but it's just dewy mandarin ducks, and they disperse after a night of happiness, if they just win the lottery and give birth to a child, the husband's family will come to claim it. There are endless examples of this kind of history, such as Ling Yin Ziwen during the reign of King Cheng of Chu, and the son of his uncle Muzi, Zhuniu, all of whom were illegitimate sons of Yehe.
But the nature of rape is different, it is unspeakable, and it is extremely humiliating to women! No matter in his past or present life, Zhao Wuxian will not forgive.
When the girl saw Tian Ben, who was tied to the beam and beaten to pieces, she bit her lip and hid behind the well, a little frightened, but there seemed to be some different emotions.
Zhao Wuxian suddenly had a plan in his heart, and he also thought of a way to deal with it.
He sincerely bowed to Jing Wei and said, "This evil thief was sent by me, and he has done such a wrong thing, and the blame lies with me!" I'm really sorry for your brothers and sisters. ”
As soon as the well came in, he glared at Tian Ben angrily, eager to go up and strangle him, and when he saw Zhao Wuxian bowing, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly pulled his sister to kneel on the ground, saying that he didn't dare.
Zhao Wuxian pointed at Tian Ben and asked tentatively: "The only way to do this now is to kill this guy and be angry for you!" How? ”
Jing was very relieved in his heart, and he wanted to agree immediately, but he was a little hesitant. The girl behind him silently did not answer, but bent over and shook her head slightly.
Zhao Wuxian's tone softened slightly: "Then, just punish him and make him a temple man, how about it?" ”
Tian Ben, who was still hanging his head, suddenly became anxious and struggled, while the girl bowed again, but still shook her head.
Zhao Wuxian had a score in his heart, and he made the final decision: "Since this is the case, I will spare him to die, but he must be severely punished, his two Sima positions have been revoked, from today onwards, he will be deposed as a pawn, and the punishment will be Chengnai!" How? ”
The girl nodded slightly, and bowed to Zhao Wuxian.
"Repay grievances with virtue, virtuous, second and third sons, bring that thief here!"
Mu Xia and several Zhao soldiers grabbed Tian Ben, pressed his neck, and bowed his head to the well and the girl, Tian Ben heard the words one by one, and he was so weak that he didn't dare to look up.
But he heard Zhao Wuxian say to the well again: "Tian Benwan is to blame for his death, but the matter must be solved." Today, as the son of the Zhao family, with the authority of the township governor of Chengyi, I am willing to propose to your family for Tian Ben's matchmaker. If so, your sister, my sister! I will marry her as a lady and a scholar! I just want to turn this wrong thing into a happy event! ”
Tian Ben was stunned, looking at Zhao Wuxian, his heart was full of gratitude and shame.
……
Under the mediation of Zhao Wuxian, the matter was barely resolved, although Jing still hated Tian Ben, but Zhao Wuxian made this request as the sovereign, if he refused, he would not know what to do. And his sister has also been ** here, and now she can only pinch her nose and admit it, hoping to cover up the past.
Zhao Wuxian asked people to properly settle Jing's sister, live in a tile house, eat powdered food, and sleep on a soft couch to ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing, so comforting, and it is also good to pay off the self-blame in his heart.
The more he hated Tian Ben in his heart, the more grateful he was to the gentleman and marry him as a scholar and a lady! A gentleman can do this for himself as a wild man who has made a mistake, and he will never die to repay him!
Tian Ben was ashamed, and after being untied, he wanted to ask for a sword from Wuxian and apologize for his crimes, but he was glared at by Wuxian.
"Half of your life is mine now, half is hers, first to atone for your sins, and then it's not too late to ask for yourself, above the battle array, there are more opportunities for you to die!"
Tian Ben was silent, and repeatedly criticized Wuxian, saying that he was willing to marry the girl and treat her well, but he was not happy to call him uncle.
Relatives are relatives, and Tian Ben and Jing's punishment has not been reduced in the slightest, so that the two horses and two horses controlled by Zhao Wuxian are suddenly vacant.
Afterwards, Zhao Wuxian told Zhao Guangde the reason why he disposed of it like this.
"Tian Ben is like a good horse, if I make a mistake once, I can still pinch my nose and endure him, just because I have no horses to use, and I still expect to ride him and chop more thorns in front of me. But this horse is difficult to tame, so I will tame it with a whip, a brass cone, and a sharp sword. If he refuses, he will be whipped with a horsewhip; If they refuse to accept it, they will pierce it with a copper cone; If you are still not satisfied, you will kill it with a sharp sword! A good horse should become the master's mount, and if it is tamed, it will be used, and if it is not tamed, what is the use of keeping it? If he does it again, I will kill him!" ”
He continued to teach Zhao Guangde and said: "If you are in charge of Wen County in the future, with hundreds of ministers and tens of thousands of people, you must also remember this law!" ”
Zhao Guangde was shocked and promised to do so.
So, that night, the two scarred ex-Simas changed into soap clothes and became a pair of big-eyed and small-eyed pawns. They were bombarded by Zhao Wuxian from the soft couch in the living room to the thatched hut covered with hay, and in the next month, they had to do the most tiring work and perform the heaviest labor.
Of course, it must be controlled separately, otherwise, if there is no Zhao Wuxian to suppress it, the girl pulls it, and the two of them may draw their swords on the spot and die together.
On the other hand, Yang Yurong asked for the same punishment on the grounds that he was the sponsor of the well. Zhao Wuxian first appeased him, and finally reduced the two pawns that were originally under his control to one, mainly infantry and auxiliaries. The rest of the two archers, two cavalry, and two guards were under the control of the Wuxian Commandery.
After doing this, Zhao Wuxian also immediately began to improve some of the administrative systems of Chengxiang, as well as the control of Zhao Bing's townships!
He summoned the village officials and military officials and said: "It is not too late to hear the clouds of contempt, and to see the rabbit and the dog; It's not too late to make up for the loss! Therefore, the laws and regulations in the army cannot be strict, the walls of the countryside cannot be unguarded, and the traitors and thieves must not be guarded! ”
