There was silence in the hall.

It's just that the eyes of most nobles still flicker.

Although they did not refute it because of the majesty of the emperor, it was obvious that they did not think so in their hearts.

It is a tradition for kings and princes to rule the country together.

It's a rule set in the bones, how can it be broken?

What's more... Isn't it just a loss of profit?

They were all ready for surgery and bloodletting.

And there are already a handful of people who have secretly made contact with Xiqi and are ready to be a leading party.

When the time comes, not only will there be no fault, but there will be merit.

Wen Zhong is gone, without Wen Zhongtian's supervision, these sneaky villains are naturally bold and presumptuous.

Shangrong has always been a tolerant and wise image.

But at this moment, he stood up and said to Chu He with a fierce face: "Your Majesty, at this time, you should use heavy regulations, and the minister has drawn up ten heavy punishments to punish those who betray the country and abandon their righteousness, to calm the country, and to set the hearts of the army." ”

After that, he directly unfolded the silk book, opened his mouth and sang loudly: "First, the punishment of fire roasting, if there is a secret pass to Xiqi, the person who carries my big businessman, once discovered, needs to be placed on the fire and baked to death. Second, the punishment of drowning, if there is a person who does not respect the king's order and retreats from the fight, he is locked in the basement and fills the basement with water every day until seven days later, when the water in the basement overflows. Three, the punishment of the knife... ”

The punishment that Shang Rong said was more severe than the other, and it was hard to imagine that this was actually from the hands of this old minister who was famous for his benevolence.

This seems to be enough to show once again that people change.

And there is no distinction between superior means, only timing.

In the prime of time, of course, it was the abolition of torture and the foundation of benevolence.

But in troubled times, it is necessary to suppress people's hearts with heavy canons.

After Shang Rong's ten punishments were finished, many pairs of eyes in the hall looked at Shang Rong angrily, and they just wanted to peel off the old guy's skin and bones immediately.

"Shang Rong! You hypocritical old horseman! I saw your mercy and kindness in the past, but I don't want to show your true face today, so cruel... A nobleman jumped out, pointed at Shang Rong and scolded angrily.

Shang Rong was very calm, took out another silk book, counted the crimes of this nobleman, and even led out his secret support for the Xiqi army, and then summoned the guards, dragged this person out, and tortured him.

The screams and the sound of barbed whips whipping against the human body kept coming from outside the temple, and it was extremely piercing.

Seeing this, many of the ministers in the hall became even more unnatural.

Some of them were quietly trembling.

Some people looked left and right, as if they were ready to flee at any moment.

And some of them had a fierce light in their eyes, as if they were eager to take out their sharp weapons, and directly stepped forward to kill Shang Rong and Shang Wang, and reversed the calculation.

A hundred kinds of ugliness in the world seem to have gathered half of them in this hall.

The silk book in Shang Rong's hand was very large, and when he looked at it from a distance, he seemed to be able to see the small words like flies.

It can be seen that there are indeed a lot of contents recorded above.

Chu He sighed, walked down the throne directly, took the silk book in Shang Rong's hand without looking at it, and then threw it into the charcoal fire in Dingzhong, seeing that this list of collaborators was directly burned into ashes.

"Shang Xiang, you don't have to talk to the widow about this again, and put it in your stomach first. ”

Turning his head, Chu He said to the ministers in the hall: "The widow doesn't care what you think now, but the big business is still there, and you will only be more rich and glorious." If the big merchants die, it will be difficult for you to enjoy the well-being. ”

"The widow wants to tell the world directly, and free all the slaves. And... Chu He's voice rose a tone.

And, 30,000,000,000 dollars were set aside to house all the slaves' families, to buy furniture, and even land. ”

swept his eyes and said indifferently: "Everyone, what should I do?"

Many nobles and princes looked at each other a few times, and they had no choice but to help.

Those who have money pay money, those who have people pay people, and those who have land pay land.

Not a single one was missed, and it was all considered a heavy hemorrhage, so it couldn't be perfunctory.

Wait until the end of the Hajri.

Above the main hall, there is only the time of business and comparison.

Chu He bowed to Shang Rong and said excitedly: "Thank you to Shang Xiang for not hesitating to use his reputation as a bargaining chip to help the widow become a matter of this." ”

Shang Rong shook his head and sighed: "It's not enough to have a small name. It's Nanyuhou, it's a pity... Cooperate with the king to act in this way, sacrificing himself, which can be described as the loyalty of the country. ”

Chu He said with a smile: "Shang Xiang, rest assured, the so-called execution time is just a blind method." Nan Yuhou is unharmed, he should have gone to Tongguan at this time, and when he is in the army, he will not forget his merits. ”

But it turned out that this was all Chu He's strategy.

Those nobles secretly corresponded with Xiqi, Chu He or Shang Rong, although they knew it in their hearts, where did they have the ability to go through the sky and collect all the evidence of their crimes?

So I made a set and framed everyone.

not only took advantage of this to temporarily stabilize people's hearts, but also knocked those guys who were in a hurry and wanted to surrender. They also took the opportunity to extort large sums of money and land to support the complete emancipation of slaves.

"However, even if the slaves are freed, it will not be possible. ”

"I have heard that in the army of Naxiqi, there have always been capable people. Shang Rong was still worried.

Chu Daodao: "It's okay, the people's hearts are wanted, we will definitely win." ”

Chu He's righteous words were righteous, and Shang Rong wanted to stop talking, but he could only hold the words back in his stomach.

And Chu He, is he really as confident as he said?

He was really confident.

But his faith did not stem from the emancipation of slaves.

Chu He freed the slaves, and spent money on the land, so that the slaves had the identity and life of ordinary people, it was not without prerequisites and costs.

The premise and price of this is very simple, that is, to join the army.

No matter which way the slaves of the princes are, as long as they join the army of the Great Shang, they can obtain such a guarantee.

Even if he dies in battle, this guarantee can fall on the person's immediate family.

In this way, it is equivalent to prying the rear stability of the Xiqi side.

When such news reached Xiqi, those oppressed slaves were afraid that they would find a way to abscond to the side of the Great Merchants and join the army.

This trick was used by Citigroup during the Civil War.

Chu He just copied some of them.

Of course, when it comes to monks and gods, crowd tactics don't seem to work...

Thinking of this, a hint of gloom flashed in Chu He's eyes.

"Crowd tactics are useless, but... When I have an army of millions, I will be blocked outside Tongguan, and I will look at the gods of the three religions, throughout the ages, who dares to kill them. ”

This is Chu He's trick.

Very scoundrel, very cold-blooded move.

Bodhisattvas fear causes, and sentient beings fear effects.

The more powerful you are, the more you know karma, the more you know awe and fear.

An army of millions, True Immortal Cultivators can slaughter them all.

But it was really there, and Da Luo Jinxian didn't dare to be presumptuous.

Killing is easy, after killing... What to do?

Even if the karma can't be burned to death, I'm afraid that the old man may appear and hammer to death those who dare to kill so many people and create boundless blood karma.

Deity?

Give you faces, huh!

Since you are subject to others, then you are obediently optimistic, there are many people... How terrible!
