Zhao Shan looked at Zhao Rui who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but laugh, and joked: "Zhao Rui, when our troops came to Xiangyang, you categorically said that Xiangyang was indestructible, and you had countless money, food, troops and horses. Now. How can I say that I became a prisoner?"
Zhao Rui's heart was filled with a strong sense of humiliation, but the desire to survive prevailed.
He didn't dare to resist.
Don't dare to confront Zhao Shan.
Zhao Rui still stuck his buttocks out and replied quickly: "Your Majesty's appearance is bright, and the guilty minister is just a frog at the bottom of the well. How can I be compared with Your Majesty? The guilty minister is just boasting, and your Majesty is the real dragon and emperor, and he keeps his word."
Zhao Shan's smile was even brighter.
Zhao Rui is really willing to bear any humiliation in order to survive.
It's a pity that he doesn't need this kind of person.
Seeing that Zhao Shan did not answer immediately, Zhao Rui was afraid that Zhao Shan would kill him, so he quickly said again: "Sinners who try to fight against the heavenly army deserve death. But as a clan member of the vassal king of Daqian, with the blood of Taizu flowing in his body, the sinner hopes If you can make meritorious deeds, Your Majesty, please give the criminal a chance."
Zhao Shan leaned forward slightly and said: "Besides having sex with women, drinking and watching singing and dancing, what else can you do? You are fat and can't do anything in martial arts, so why don't you be treated like a worm?"
Zhao Rui had a sudden thought and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, sinners are useful. I can help your Majesty persuade more people to surrender, and even instigate officials in Yangzhou to rebel. The Chu Prince's family has been in Jingzhou for many years and has influence in Jingzhou. Yangzhou also has a certain influence.”
Zhao Shan flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "You have become a prisoner. After I kill you, with a piece of paper from me, everyone in Jingzhou will surrender."
Zhao Rui's heart sank completely.
It's no use begging for mercy.
It’s no use being a dog!
Zhao Rui suddenly raised his head, stared at Zhao Shan, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, don't you talk about any friendship between the same clan? They are all the blood of the Daqian Zhu family, is your Majesty so cold-hearted?"
Zhao Shan stood up and walked down, saying as he walked: "When you rebelled, did you consider the friendship of the same clan? When you rebelled, did you consider that you were also of Zhu family blood? When you rebelled, did you think that you would be reduced to Prisoner?"
"I'll fight you!"
Zhao Rui jumped up suddenly, dragged his fat body towards Zhao Shan, and shouted: "Zhao Shan, if you don't let me live, I won't let you let go."
Zhao Shan stepped out and kicked his feet sideways.
boom! !
The sole of his foot hit Zhao Rui's body, and Zhao Rui screamed. His body flew up from the ground, drew an arc in the air, and landed on the ground with a bang. Zhao Rui was beaten to a pulp, and his internal organs ached.
Before he could get up, a group of soldiers rushed in and directly controlled Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui struggled and said hysterically: "Zhao Shan, you killed your own people indiscriminately, killed the vassal king of Daqian and destroyed the Great Wall. You will definitely die a bad death. Even if I become a ghost after my death, I will not let you go." "
Zhao Shan sneered and said: "We are not afraid of humans, let alone ghosts. Even if you become an evil ghost, I will still kill you. After your death, I will kill all your direct descendants of King Chu."
"From now on, the lineage of King Chu has been abolished and will no longer be established."
"Drag him down and kill him."
Zhao Shan showed no mercy.
Rebellious people like Zhao Rui must be killed, otherwise they will not be able to deter the clan kings of Daqian.
There has been a rebellion in the local area, but to still be lenient and not kill, to still think about benevolence and righteousness, and to think about catching people and reforming them, is the most naive idea. If you don't take the most severe measures, the feudal king below will not take you seriously.
Because without killing, the cost of rebellion is too low.
Anyone who rebels will not be killed. In that case, why not give it a try for the highest power?
This is human nature!
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Shancai wanted to execute Zhao Rui. Including Zhao Yong and Zhao Fan before, Zhao Shan killed them without exception, all for the same reason. Anyone who rebels will be killed without mercy.
This was used to deter vassal kings and bandits who dared to rebel.
Zhao Rui was unconvinced, cursed Zhao Shan, and was dragged out in an instant.
After a while, screams came from outside, and Zhao Rui was killed directly.
After Zhao Rui was killed, Zhao Shan issued an order to kill the direct descendants of King Chu. The person who took action this time was Li Buyi. He personally led the troops and killed all the direct descendants of King Chu.
Zhao Shan executed the people of Zhao Rui's lineage, temporarily stationed troops in Xiangyang, and allowed Su Wei to govern.
Su Wei is from Jingzhou, and the Su family is also a big family in Jingzhou. They have great influence in Jingzhou and have enough connections. Just like this, Su Wei stepped forward to calm people's hearts and bring order to the chaos, and Xiangyang quickly returned to stability.
After Su Wei stabilized Xiangyang, he arranged for people to spread the message to various places and ordered all parts of Jingzhou to submit.
Zhao Shan did not interfere with Su Wei's governance and only looked at the final result. As long as Su Wei governs Jingzhou smoothly, as long as Jingzhou has good governance and people live and work in peace and contentment, Zhao Shan will not care about how to govern Jingzhou.
Every leader has different ideas.
Each ruler's style is different.
It is impossible to expect all people to be the same.
Zhao Shan did not continue to send troops, and temporarily stayed in Xiangyang, allowing Su Wei to adjust. Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye it’s early September, and the weather turns from hot to cool.
Up to now, all counties in Jingzhou have surrendered to the imperial court, and there is no longer the power to separate local areas.
Su Wei's methods of governance were very stable, there was no large-scale transfer of officials, and people who submitted to the imperial court were also given high priority. Su Wei had already reported to Zhao Shan that by the beginning of next year, large-scale adjustments would be made.
Jingzhou as a whole surrendered to the imperial court, but there were still bandits in the area.
Zhao Rui raised Ye Yunfei and other bandits from the Eighteen Villages of Nanyang, and it was only limited to Nanyang County. The bandits in Wuling County, Guiyang County and other places in the south of Jingzhou really turned into bandits.
In addition, there are many barbarians entrenched in the Jingnan area.
When Daqian was strong, the barbarians submitted to the imperial court and obeyed the imperial court's orders. But as the Dagan weakened, the barbarians stopped being obedient and continued to plunder the borders. Once something happens, they will retreat to the mountains, making it difficult to encircle and suppress them.
This takes time to encircle and suppress.
It's just that Zhao Shan doesn't need to lead an army to resolve these matters one by one. He can leave them to Su Wei who is in charge to appease them, and then arrange generals to take charge of the local area to suppress bandits. Only by using both suppression and appeasement can Jingzhou be governed well.
After adjusting the general direction, Zhao Shan was ready to evacuate Jingzhou and planned to arrange for someone to notify Wei Fengqing to come to discuss matters and discuss the candidates for guarding. But at this moment, a soldier hurriedly entered and reported: "Your Majesty, Wei Fengqing wants to see you."
Zhao Shandao: "Please come in quickly."
The soldier turned around to inform, and followed Wei Fengqing into the study hurriedly.
Today, Wei Fengqing is particularly different. She is not wearing a tight-fitting warrior uniform, nor is she wearing armor. She is not pretending to be a man, but is wearing a long, loose skirt. In every move, there is more tenderness and charm of a woman, but less ability and valor.
There was also an overflowing joy between his brows.
Zhao Shan saw this in his eyes and asked with a smile: "What happened to Feng Qing today? Did anything good happen to her?"
Wei Fengqing put her hand on her lower abdomen, touched her lower abdomen, and said softly: "Your Majesty, a good thing is indeed coming."
