Zhang Zhongliang: "Lu Renshan, I have always heard that you have a compassionate heart, and I also have a kind heart. I hope you will put the world's living beings first and take care of yourself." After saying this, he issued an order, "Put Lu Renshan under custody and listen to the emperor's disposal."
The sergeant took Lu Renshan under custody.
Mary: "Zhang Zhongliang, do you really want to escort Lu Renshan to the main hall and let your father take care of you? What if? Hey! This person has a similar temperament to you. You can imagine what your father's end will be. It would be a pity to kill him."
Zhang Zhongliang: "Princess, don't worry, I can save him. It's just that such a sage cannot surrender unless his spirit and arrogance are dampened. He must be shaken in his heart."
The generals nodded.
Wang Erhan sat majestically in the middle of the hall, with Qin Yong sitting on the left side, twirling his beard and closing his eyes to rest.
The ministers lined up on the left and right, discussing quietly.
Zhang Zhongliang and other generals stood at the head of the line.
Huangmen came to report: "Your Majesty, Lu Renshan has arrived."
Wang Erhan: "Bring him in."
After a while, Lu Renshan was tied up with his hands behind his back and escorted into the hall by two guards, arrogantly ignoring Wang Erhan.
Wang Erhan: "Lu Renshan, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
Lu Renshan: "Why do I kneel to you?"
Wang Erhan: "Lu Renshan, you think you are invincible in the world. You never thought that 400,000 troops would invade Western Liao and be captured alive overnight. There are many battles in ancient and modern times. You have never seen such a feat, nor have you seen the people who led the army are so stupid. Vulnerable, these 400,000 people will be punished as an invasion according to the custom of this dynasty. After the artificial lake in the west is drained, they will all be buried alive. Their merits are their faults. How does Lu Renshan feel?"
Lu Renshan thundered: "The invasion of your dynasty is just the idea of this king. It is the fault of only one person. What is the crime of 400,000 soldiers? Now you don't know the difference between right and wrong, and want to save 400,000 innocent lives." Bury them all alive. There are many foolish kings and tyrants in ancient and modern times. No one can be as cruel and cruel as you——"
Wang Erhan was furious: "I really can't listen to your nonsense. Someone will come and cut Lu Renshan's body into five pieces first, and then expose his body outside the city wall as a warning to those who dare to invade our empire in the future."
The guards escorted Lu Renshan out.
Lu Renshan's righteous and awe-inspiring voice was impassioned: "Foolish king, tyrant, I will not let you go even when you get to heaven. Haha, hahaha!!!"
Zhang Zhongliang came out and said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment."
Wang Erhan asked, "What else does my consort do?" He signaled the guards to pause.
Lu Renshan stood outside the door.
Zhang Zhongliang: "Lu Renshan took advantage of the weakening of our country's strength and invaded our dynasty. He committed a heinous crime. Nowadays, there are many neighboring countries and heroes everywhere. There are many people who are eyeing our Western Liao Kingdom. If you just cut this man into five pieces, it will not be enough to warn other countries. We must find a way to deal with it that is extremely strict and severe, so that those in other countries who intend to offend us will change their colors and become frightened when they hear it, so as to put an end to their delusions. This is the way to long-term peace and stability."
Wang Erhan nodded: "What the prince consort said makes sense, but how to deal with it?"
Zhang Zhongliang: "The Queen has heard rumors that Lu Renshan has three heads and six arms. Today he is captured alive. The Queen has something to say and must see it in person. After she retires from the court, she can discuss how to deal with it."
Wang Erhan: "Hey, the queen loves fun! Forget it, put Lu Renshan in the sky prison temporarily and let the queen handle it."
Lu Renshan was taken away.
Wang Erhan: "The scene of burying 400,000 troops alive will be spectacular. How to deal with it, when to deal with it, dear friends, do you have any good ideas?"
A minister came out: "Your Majesty, we have captured 400,000 troops and are temporarily detained in the camp in the east of the city. These prisoners have nothing to do and consume more than 6,000 dan of food every day. The national treasury is now almost in deficit. In the long run, it will be overwhelmed. I hope your Majesty Make a decision early and issue an execution order immediately."
A military attache came out to report: "Your Majesty, the camp in the east of the city is currently holding 400,000 people. Due to the temporary expansion, most of the cells are simple. These prisoners are all desperadoes. There are many troublemakers above the general level. Once they break into the camp and escape, , the consequences are worrisome!”
Tan Yong was still sitting, twirling his beard and closing his eyes to rest, noncommittal.
Wang Erhan: "Well, it seems that the matter must be dealt with without delay. If the order is passed, the artificial lake in the west of the city will speed up the release of water, and more people will be sent to carry it on their shoulders. The water must be washed out by tomorrow afternoon in preparation for burying people. "
Zhang Zhongliang came out at this time and said: "Your Majesty, this army of 400,000 must not be killed."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.
Qin Yong opened his eyes.
Wang Erhan was shocked: "Why did the prince-in-law say this?"
Zhang Zhongliang: "Why not kill? For several years, the Western Liao Kingdom has been fighting for years, and its soldiers have been exhausted. The whole country has not much labor. Looking at the countryside, there are only women and children. The land is uncultivated. The land is deserted and the country is losing strength day after day. Japan. These 400,000 troops are all young and powerful. If they can be used by me, the national strength can be restored in a few years."
Wang Erhan "How to use it?"
A minister came out and said: "You must not do this, Your Majesty. These aliens must be avoided as much as possible. Once they are allowed to be free, the consequences will be disastrous, Your Majesty."
Zhang Zhongliang ignored it and continued: "Your Majesty can evacuate these 400,000 people in batches, place dozens and hundreds of them in various states, distribute acres of land, and encourage them to marry local women and reproduce offspring. After several years of recuperation, the West The Liao Kingdom will be prosperous and prosperous again."
Most of the ministers nodded.
Zhang Zhongliang continued: "This is the intention not to kill. Secondly, the reason why these people can gather under Lu Renshan's command is because Lu Renshan is known as a compassionate heart and wants to build a pure land on earth. Now that your majesty has pardoned his innocence and returned to his land, he will definitely make him He is so grateful that he no longer rebels, and shows that your majesty is the next generation of a saintly king who will be gentle to the world."
Wang Erhan: "It makes sense not to kill. But - there are so many people, how to prevent it?"
Zhang Zhongliang: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much about this matter. As long as one person surrenders, ten thousand people will obey."
Wang Erhan: "Are you talking about Lu Renshan? How easy is it to get this person to surrender?"
Zhang Zhongliang: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Lu Renshan will definitely meet your Majesty tomorrow morning and surrender."
The ministers whispered and nodded.
Wang Erhan: "That's very good. You have full authority to handle this matter."
Zhang Zhongliang: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Erhan and Qin Yong sat across from each other to discuss matters. Wang Erhan said: "The army of the Kingdom of Macha was defeated miserably. I, the king, have no worries. This battle has established the dignity of our dynasty as a great country. I will have no worries in the future."
Qin Yong: "Besides this, I have one more thing that I should like to express my sincere congratulations to Your Majesty."
Wang Erhan: "Why are you so happy?"
Qin Yong: "After this battle, the talent of the Prince Consort is obvious to all. He led the troops to fight in numbers and pretended to be defeated, luring the enemy deep into the enemy. The victory or defeat was decided overnight. His patience and great wisdom are beyond compare. This morning, I went to court, The amnesty of 400,000 defeated troops and the dispersion of the people to recuperate is even more far-sighted, and his imperial spirit is beyond the reach of ordinary monarchs."
Wang Erhan was quite proud: "How can my beloved son-in-law be an idle person?"
Qin Yong: "This is why I congratulate you, Your Majesty. But Your Majesty, please be prepared for danger in times of peace. Just imagine, Zhang Zhongliang is my consort today and is used by Your Majesty. However, can Zhang Zhongliang live in Xiliao for a long time? If he returns to his hometown one day, it will be the same. Let the tiger return to the mountain. With this man's ambition and wisdom, he will surely be able to gallop thousands of miles and dominate the world. Western Liao and Nanzhao are neighboring countries. This man's return will definitely be a trouble to our inner circle. I hope your majesty will think twice."
Wang Erhan was worried: "What will we do?"
Qin Yong: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. From what I have observed for several months, the prince-in-law is an upright man and will do what he says. If we can get him to sign a contract and promise to reconcile the two countries from generation to generation, we will be worry-free."
Wang Erhan: "Well, that's very good."
