"Prime Minister, I really just said it casually. Please forgive me once. I will never dare to do it again. Prime Minister, Prime Minister..."
Du Ergou kept kowtowing and did not dare to stop until his forehead was bleeding. His face was covered with blood in the blink of an eye.
However, Fa Yang did not have any mood swings, and spoke slowly for a long time: "We, the great Chu, established our country by law, and all national policies were formulated by the Prime Minister.
If I let you go now, what will the emperor think of me, and what will the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Chu army think of me?
Especially now, when the war is about to begin, you are spreading rumors across the river. Do you know what kind of threat this will cause to the morale of our Chu army?
You should have bowed your head in front of the army before seeing the truth, but the truth must be made clear to you. Our country of Chu has an orderly hierarchy of superiority and inferiority.
There are strict rules on what to say and what not to say, but you openly defy the military regulations under the truth system. How can you convince the public if you say you won't kill?
How can the truth lead these hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves to expand territory for the emperor? Not only will you die, but after your death the land and house owned by your family will be taken away from you.
Your parents will also be demoted to untouchables and wait for their fate. In short, everything today is caused by you. This is the price for violating the laws of Dachu! "
Hearing this, Du Ergou was horrified and wanted to crawl to Fa Yang to continue begging for mercy, but was restrained by the guards in the tent in time. He could only continue to beg for mercy loudly: "Prime Minister, if you really want to punish me, then punish me alone." ,
My parents are old and my little girl has just passed the age of hairpins. Please let them go. Please, please! "
Fa Yang ignored Du Ergou's plea for mercy and shouted angrily: "Come here, drag this bastard who disturbs the morale of the army out of the camp and behead him in public!"
The guards immediately dragged Du Ergou outside the tent. Du Ergou shouted heartbreakingly: "Prime Minister, I am wronged! I really did not spread rumors, why are you so heartless."
"Wait!"
At this moment, the tent curtain was opened, and a young general under thirty strode into the tent, stopped the guards, and said to Fa Yang: "Prime Minister, why do you want to kill our lieutenants? "
The visitor's name was Luo Song, a general of Chu State who had made great achievements in establishing Huang Fu's empire.
As soon as he saw Luo Song, Du Ergou seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He crawled to his feet and begged: "General, please save me. I really didn't spread rumors. Please tell the Prime Minister." Qing, please let me go."
Luo Song picked up Du Ergou, and then asked Fa Yang: "Prime Minister, what do you mean?"
Fa Yang's eyes turned cold: "Du Ergou's monstrous words deceived the crowd and disrupted the morale of the army. He has admitted the crime he committed. According to military regulations, he will be the leader of the army and rectify the law to show the three armies!"
Luo Song turned around and asked, "Is this the case?"
Du Ergou shook his head repeatedly: "General, I just got confused after the meal and made a few random remarks. I really didn't disturb the morale of the army and spread rumors."
Luo Song nodded and said to Fa Yang: "Prime Minister, the war is imminent. The soldiers in the army are under great pressure. It is understandable to joke casually. Why do you want to punish me like this? Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers?"
Fa Yang stood up and replied: "The general's words are wrong. The war is imminent, and the military should be united. If people like Du Ergou who know the law and break the law are not severely punished today, they will not be punished severely."
In the future, the officers and soldiers of the three armies will follow suit. How can I lead the army in battle? Military law is like a mountain, and the law does not tolerate mercy. Such false talkers must be dealt with severely to rectify the morale of the military! "
Luo Song disagreed: "Just because of a few words, you are going to kill an innocent person in vain? Prime Minister, how can you convince the public like this?"
Fa Yang roared: "If we let it go, he will not be the only one to die in the future! Instead, it is very likely that the soldiers of the three armies will be alienated and defeated miserably. I dare to ask the general, can you afford this responsibility?"
Luo Song was immediately speechless, and finally asked word by word: "Then what exactly did he say that made the Prime Minister have to kill him? Is there really no room for change?"
Fa Yang said: "He said that the Han thieves were treated far better than our Chu army. I dare to ask if this kind of rumor spreads among the army, how will you, Prime Minister and General, lead the army in battle?"
Before Luo Song could reply, Fa Yang yelled angrily: "What are you still doing? Drag him out to enforce military law! Do you want to do the same thing to him!?"
When the guard heard this, he immediately dragged Du Ergou out of the tent again.
But Du Ergou grabbed Luo Song's hand and said loudly: "General, you treat us and other soldiers like brothers and sisters. Please say a few more words to the Prime Minister. If you can't do it, please let my family go." You are the general, the general~"
Luo Song's face couldn't help but twitch, and when he was about to speak, he heard Fa Yang's words in his ears: "General, in this battle to conquer the Han Dynasty, the emperor ordered me to lead the three armies as the commander-in-chief. Could it be that you dare to disobey the emperor's order?" ?”
When Luo Song heard this, he closed his eyes in pain and waved away Du Ergou's hand that grabbed him.
"General, General! It's not a pity for me, Duergou, to die, but I'm not willing to die like this. I'm not willing to accept it~~"
However, no matter how much Du Ergou shouted, he could not change his fate...
Along the Changhe River, Du Ergou knelt outside the military camp with his hands on his back, facing the north bank of the Changhe River. The executioner behind him looked at him indifferently, and he was surrounded by Chu soldiers who were watching.
After the law enforcement officer announced Du Ergou's charges, the Chu soldiers were silent for a while, but soon became agitated.
"Deserves to be killed!"
"It's not a pity to die if you disturb the morale of the army!"
"You are really ignorant. You dare to question the Prime Minister's words? You deserve it!"
"This black sheep should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. The Prime Minister was benevolent and righteous, so he only gave him one cut. It was so satisfying. Bah~"
Listening to the cynicism of his fellow soldiers, Du Ergou lowered his head and said nothing. Tears kept falling down his rough cheeks.
"Execution!"
Following the law enforcement officer's order, the executioner raised his butcher knife high and stared at the back of Du Ergou's neck with cold eyes.
"Oh my God~" Suddenly, Du Ergou raised his head and roared loudly, "The Chu army will be defeated! The Chu thieves will perish! The Chu thieves will perish! Hahahahaha——"
"Puff——"
Before the laughter stopped, another executioner grabbed his hair and pulled it down hard. Then the executioner raised the knife and swung it down. His head immediately fell off, and a bright red arrow of blood spattered from the center of the broken shoulder and neck, sending out a "Zooming" sound. The soft sound of "sizzling" dyed the embankment in front of Du Ergou's body red.
next moment……
"Okay, good kill!"
The numb soldiers of the Chu army cheered one after another, as if they were celebrating the victory of the war.
Soon the law enforcement department collected Du Ergou's body and cleaned the blood along the coast.
"According to the order of the Prime Minister, Du Ergou's head was hung in the army for three days as a warning. I hope you will not have any different intentions and take it as a warning!"
The law enforcement officer held Du Ergou's head and after speaking to the soldiers in the Chu army camp, he returned to the commander's camp to reply.
A few sharp-eyed young soldiers suddenly discovered that Du Ergou's head had no upper jaw eyes at all...
