Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1115

[Chapter 1104 Conclusion]

The morning sun shone on Luo Hong, but the slightest warmth could not make him feel any heat.

He once stubbornly believed that what he did was right, and he spent countless dark nights justifying what he did.

But now he suddenly discovered the lies he had told himself countless times. Yes, he was unwilling to do so, and he secretly colluded with Ge Yiren. All of this was just for power.

What’s the difference between him and the rebellious officials and traitors of all dynasties who have conspired to usurp power?

“Your Majesty…” Luo Hong’s Adam’s apple rolled and he could only say two words with difficulty.

“Your Majesty, please have mercy!” Luo Xin felt a threatening aura from Xiao Ming, and he begged again.

Xiao Ming did not respond to Luo Hong, but turned back to his dragon chair. He faced the ministers and said: “Ge Yiren and others usurped power and conspired to rebel. The evidence is conclusive and they will be executed immediately in accordance with the laws of the empire. Luo Hong colluded with Ge Yiren and deceived The officer rebelled, the crime will be increased, and they will be punished with the same crime. Come, take these two people down and execute them at the execution ground tomorrow! “

As soon as he finished speaking, Ge Yiren collapsed to the ground, feces and urine flowing out, while Luo Hong seemed to be deflated. The ball went soft, and the whole person softened.

After receiving the order, the imperial guards immediately stepped forward and took Ge Yi, Luo Hong and others down.

Luo Xin glanced at Xiao Ming’s stern gaze and finally chose to shut up. In fact, he already knew that this was the inevitable result.

If usurpation of power and rebellion can be treated with mercy outside the law, who in the empire will respect the emperor in the future? Now that he has done what he should do, he has no regrets in his heart. If he talks more, I am afraid it will be more troublesome.

After all, if they were in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, he and Luo Hong would definitely be arrested, and the nine clans implicated would be bleeding like rivers.

But even though the laws of the empire are relatively lenient now, he still feels uneasy in his heart, so he said: “Your Majesty, my brother’s rebellion has affected the entire Luo family. In order to avoid gossip, the general believes that he is no longer suitable to sit as the commander of the Southwest Army. , I hope the emperor will remove him from the post of general as punishment.”

Pang Yukun heard this and said: “Your Majesty, what Luo Xin said makes sense. If he continues to be in power, I’m afraid there will inevitably be gossip in the army, which will also damage his prestige. “

Luo Hong is Luo Hong, Luo Xin is Luo Xin. Luo Xin personally escorted Luo Hong to Qingzhou is a testament to Luo Xin’s character. The general will think that Luo Xin not only has no fault, but has merit,”

Lu Fei said harshly .

said.

Qi Guangyi echoed: “Your Majesty, although Luo Xin has the temper of a young master, his loyalty to the Emperor is obvious to all. The general also thinks that this matter cannot affect him. After all, there are many people involved in the rebellion this time. If we look into it carefully, this court will I’m afraid no one in the country can be completely implicated, and the chaos among the people has not yet subsided. If it continues to expand, I’m afraid it will be detrimental to the development of the empire.”

“Your Majesty, what the two commanders said is reasonable, and I also believe that they will be punished as guilty. That’s fine, there’s no need to involve innocent people,” Fiji hesitated for a long time before saying.

Xiao Ming nodded. Since the Chongqing Kingdom was banned, the empire has entered a new era.

There is really no need to repeat things that often implicate the nine tribes. The guilty people can be punished according to their crimes, and there is no need to make any fuss.

Moreover, he was worried that the people would continue to make noise, so it was better to calm down the matter and stop it, so as not to disturb people’s minds, which would be bad.

However, it is inappropriate to do everything, which is what Pang Yukun is worried about, but he has already had his own way to deal with this problem.

So he said: “Just remove him from office. I have said that you have to take turns rotating the commanders of the military regions. Now that the day has come, it stands to reason that the commanders of your six military regions will have to change each other. But now Zhu Sansi is in Alaska. , and Lei Ming’s war in Nanyang is not over yet, so you and Ye Qingyun exchange the positions of commanders. As for Qi Guangyi, he is good at cavalry combat. Now the Ottomans and Tsarist Russia are about to make a move, and they need him in the Northwest Military Region.”

Ye Qingyun became happy. , I have had enough of staying in the ice and snow for these years, and now it is finally time to rotate.

Luo Xin was silent for a long time, his eyes became moist, and finally said loudly: “Thank you for your holy grace!”

He knew that this was Xiao Ming’s expedient measure. Changing the military region meant that he was going to a completely unfamiliar place, and he and the generals of this place both They are not familiar with each other, and no one will listen to them if they want to rebel.

In this way, other people who were originally uneasy will feel at ease, which is equivalent to indirectly protecting him.

Nodding slightly, Xiao Ming signaled Qian Dafu to retire. During this period, he was physically and mentally exhausted. It was too difficult to manage an empire and there were too many things going wrong.

Everyone dispersed and Xiao Ming returned to the imperial study. Before his buttocks could get hot, a eunuch came to report to Luo Quan and Niuben.

After thinking for a moment, he still let the two veterans in.

He had refused to see the two of them before the results were announced, and they were very smart and did not bother him.

The reason for this was that he just didn’t want to be influenced by the two of them,

“Your Majesty.”

When they arrived in the imperial study, Luo Quan suddenly knelt on the ground, while Niu Ben looked helpless.

“Old General, why are you doing this?” Xiao Ming helped Luo Quan up.

At this time, Luo Quan was already crying. At the palace gate, he had learned about Luo Hong’s punishment, and he couldn’t help but feel sad.

“Your Majesty, it’s our Luo family who can’t stand up to your Majesty. Luo Hong, a rebellious son who sought power and usurped the throne, deserved his punishment and died without pity. Even so, the Emperor still reused Luo Xin. Such kindness is hard for an old minister to repay.”

He sighed deeply .

After taking a breath, Xiao Ming said: “Old General, it doesn’t have to be like this. I said it in the court. Luo Xin is Luo Xin and Luo Hong is Luo Hong. Today’s empire is no longer what it used to be. Anyone who commits a crime will be punished. No one will be punished.” Innocent people are implicated, not to mention that the Luo family has fought bloody battles for the empire for generations, I will remember this in my heart.”

Luo Quan felt bitter in his heart. Now he just hated Luo Hong for being so stupid. After all, the Luo family had been extremely favored in the empire before.

“Your Majesty is open-minded, and I admire you for that. Today, I came here not just to plead for mercy, but to hope that the Emperor will allow me to personally kill this rebellious son of mine!”

“This…” Xiao Ming was a little surprised.

Luo Quan said loudly: “The Luo family has been loyal for generations, but today such a rebellious son was born. According to the Luo family’s family motto, such rebellious descendants should be purged. I hope the emperor will fulfill

his wishes.” Niu Ben nodded, meaning Luo The family does have this rule.

Xiao Ming sighed slightly and said: “In that case, let Luo Hong be left to the old general. The Luo family has done a lot for the empire in recent years. I am not a heartless person. From the shooting to the collection of the corpse, the old general himself will do it.” Make the decision and let him go in a dignified manner. “

Luo Quan burst into tears when he heard this. This was the last moment of dignity left for Luo Hong.
