Chapter 765
The eldest Sun Chong must not be killed. The so-called prince broke the law and the common people are the same crime. It has been just shouting since ancient times.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is such a passage.

When Cao Cao was fighting, when he led his troops through the wheat fields, he ordered the officers and soldiers not to trample on the wheat fields.

So the officers and soldiers got off their horses, supported the wheat stalks with their hands, and stepped across the wheat fields carefully, one after another, passing each other through the wheat fields, and no one dared to trample on the wheat.When the common people saw it, they all praised it, and some looked at the backs of the officers and soldiers, and knelt on the ground to thank them.

However, Cao Cao rode by, and suddenly, a bird flew up in the field, which frightened his horse.His horse jumped into the field and trampled a field of wheat.He asked the law enforcement officer to convict himself, but the law enforcement officer refused.Cao Cao was about to commit suicide with a knife, but was persuaded by everyone.

Guo Jia stepped forward and said: "The ancient book "Spring and Autumn" says that the law is not respected. The prime minister leads the army and has a heavy responsibility. How can he commit suicide?"

So he cut off his own hair with the sword and said, "Then I will cut off my hair instead of my head."

The ancients paid attention to the fact that the body, hair and skin should not be damaged by their parents, and cutting hair can be regarded as a serious crime of unfilial piety, so Cao Cao cut his hair before the army to replace the head of the Ming army.

This story seems to be Cao Cao's strict self-discipline, but it is actually a symbol of privilege.

May I ask if ordinary soldiers violate his orders, can they also cut off the head of the generation?
Obviously it was impossible. Cao Cao swung his knife and killed himself, but it was just a show.

But Changsun Chong is now an adulterous woman, so we can't cut him off, let's enforce military discipline.

If this is the case, it would be better to kill the eldest grandson directly.

Lin Xuan rubbed his head with a headache, and said with some headache: "Didn't it be said that a Turkic woman can be a soldier even when mounted on a horse? Changsun Chong has no strength to restrain a chicken, so that woman won't resist?"

If the woman resisted, Chang Sun Chong would not dare to mess around for fear of making things worse.

And as long as he doesn't succeed, he just needs to fight a few troops to put on a show.

"General, Chang Sun Chong didn't go alone. He also brought two soldiers with him. The family was afraid and didn't dare to resist." Cheng Chumo said in a low voice.

In fact, Lin Xuan was also to blame for this. He appointed Chang Sun Chong as a military supply officer. He was an official anyway, and there were still a few people under his command.

The brave guards emphasized obedience during training. The two soldiers were ordered by Zhang Sun Chong to take the woman back. Although they felt it was inappropriate, they dared not refuse.

Lin Xuan naturally knew this too. In fact, not only the brave guards, but all the troops of the Tang Dynasty were like this.

Why are there so many examples of generals and soldiers rebelling in ancient times?
Combat with cold weapons is very bloody, and the fear of soldiers on the battlefield often leads to the defeat of large troops without a fight. Therefore, the generals' training for soldiers, especially the training of obeying orders, is very good. Soldiers have almost blindly obeyed the orders of their commanders.Soldiers do what the generals say, and any small disobedience will lead to severe punishment.

Coupled with the backward transmission methods in ancient times, soldiers knew nothing about the situation outside the barracks.General rebellion often resorts to deceit and deception to mobilize the army.For example: received the emperor's secret decree, received orders from the Ministry of War, carried out orders from superiors, and so on.Once the incident started, it was too late to learn the truth, and he had already participated in it, and had already committed a capital crime.

Didn't the ancient emperors know this?

They know, but there is no good way.

Zhao Kuangyin thought of a way, but it caused the Song Dynasty to be weak for hundreds of years.

The soldiers' blind obedience to their superiors caused them to know that what Chang Sun Chong did was wrong, but they still would not refuse.

"Is the news blocked?" Lin Xuan asked.

If the news is blocked, it can be delayed for a while, and if it is leaked, it must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if someone follows suit, I'm afraid there will be a big mess.

"The eldest grandson rushed to rob a woman. The woman's husband died in battle just yesterday, and there was no one else in the family, so there was not much movement yesterday. According to the custom of the Turkic people, father dies and son succeeds, and if there is no son, there will be brothers." Inheritance, including women. The woman’s husband has a younger brother. He went to look for the woman early this morning, and learned that Tang Jun had snatched her away, causing a commotion. Now many people know about it. But I have ordered people to block the news. For the time being It won't spread," Cheng Chumo said.

Lin Xuan was a little speechless, the f*cking eldest Sun Chong still likes wives just like Cao Cao.

"Go, bring Changsun Chong to me, and send someone to watch over that woman. Don't let him commit suicide," Lin Xuan said.

"Hey, General, don't worry, that woman won't commit suicide."

Before Cheng Chumo could finish speaking, seeing Lin Xuan staring at him, he smiled mischievously and said, "Your subordinate will go now."

Lin Xuan naturally knew what Cheng Chumo meant.

In fact, the emphasis on chastity in ancient times began to rise slowly from the Song Dynasty.

It's not that women didn't pay much attention to chastity before the Song Dynasty, but it was not as strict as the Song and Ming Dynasties.

What starve to death is a small injustice but a big one.

What a good woman does not marry a second husband.

These did not exist before the Song Dynasty, and even when the population was sparse, the emperor would encourage widowed women to remarry.

This is true for all the people in the Central Plains, let alone the Turkic people who are relatively wild and backward.

Take Genghis Khan as an example. Genghis Khan's first wife, Empress Borte, was snatched away by Merqi after marrying Genghis Khan.When she was snatched back again, Borte was already pregnant with Genghis Khan's eldest son, Jochi.

Since Jochi was conceived after Bortie was robbed, many people suspected that Jochi was a descendant of Mierqi.And the name Jochi also means a guest.It can be seen that Genghis also knew that he was not his child.

In fact, Genghis Khan waited for more than nine months before finding a chance to rescue his wife. When he was rescued, Queen Borte was only six months pregnant. There is no doubt about this thing.

And a woman who has been snatched away for so long and is still pregnant does not affect her status.

In addition to Genghis Khan's love for it, it is also related to the nomadic people's concept of chastity and the Han people's.

If this was changed to the Central Plains dynasty, no matter which dynasty it was, it would be impossible to happen.

Lin Xuan asked Cheng Chumo to send someone to watch the woman, not because he was afraid that she would commit suicide, but because he was afraid that someone with a heart would use this matter to make a fuss.

Those Turkic people had just surrendered, and they were very nervous. Once the woman died, if they were incited again, it would probably cause turmoil.

Not long after, Chang Sun Chong was tied up by Cheng Chumo.

"What do you mean, General?" Chang Sun Chong asked a little sternly.

"Changsun Chong, you are so courageous. Didn't anyone inform you of the military order issued by General Cheng just yesterday? You still commit crimes against the wind. Do you think your neck is harder than a knife?"

Lin Xuan was so angry when he saw that Sun Chong turned around and questioned him.

You caused me such a big trouble, you still have the face to question me?
Although it was Chang Sun Chong who did it, but Chang Sun Chong is now under his control, and he can't get away with a crime of laxity.
