Iron Dynasty

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

He used to stubbornly think he was doing the right thing, and in countless dark nights he was justifying what he did.

But now he digs out the lies he told himself countless times in an instant, yes, his unwillingness, he secretly colluded with Ge Yiren, all of this is just for power.

What is the difference between him and the chaotic ministers and thieves who have conspired against usurped power in all dynasties?

Your Majesty... Luo Hong's Adam's apple rolled, struggling to say only two words.

Your Majesty, please be kind! Luo Xin felt a threatening aura from Xiao Ming, and he pleaded again.

Xiao Ming did not respond to Luo Hong, but turned around and returned to his dragon chair. He said to the ministers: Ge Yiren and others usurped power and plotted rebellion. The evidence is conclusive, and the execution was executed immediately in accordance with the laws of the empire. Luo Hong colluded with Ge Yiren to bewitched. Officers who rebel, the crime will be added one class, and the same crime will be punished. Come here, these two will be escorted, and they will be executed at the execution ground tomorrow!

When the words fell, Ge Yiren collapsed to the ground, excrement and urine flowed together, Luo Hong was like a deflated ball, and his whole body softened.

After receiving the order, the Imperial Guard 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 must be the result.

If usurping power and plotting rebellion can be granted extrajudicially, who will respect the emperor in the future empire? Now he has done what he should do, and he has no regrets in his heart. If he talks more, I am afraid it will be more troublesome.

After all, if he was in the Great Yu Kingdom, he would definitely be arrested together with Luo Hong, and the blood would flow into rivers of the nine clans.

But even though the laws of the empire are relatively more relaxed than before, he was still apprehensive, so he said: Your Majesty, my brother's rebellion has affected the Luo family. , I hope that the emperor will remove the post of the last general as a punishment.

Hearing the words, Pang Yukun said: Your Majesty, what Luo Xin said makes sense. If he continues to be in power, I am afraid that there will inevitably be gossip in the army, which will also damage his prestige.

Luo Hong is Luo Hong, and Luo Xin is Luo Xin. Luo Xin personally escorted Luo Hong to Qingzhou is enough to show Luo Xin's character. In the end, the general thought that Luo Xin was not only innocent, but also meritorious.

Lu Fei said in a rough voice.

Qi Guangyi echoed: Your Majesty, although Luo Xin has some temperaments, his loyalty to the Emperor is obvious to all. The last commander also thought that he should not be involved in this matter. After all, there were many people involved in the rebellion this time. I am afraid that no one can be implicated at all, and the chaos among the people has not yet subsided, if it continues to expand, I am afraid it will be detrimental to the development of the empire.

Your Majesty, the words of the two commanders are reasonable, and the minister also thinks that they can be punished according to the crime, and there is no need to involve innocent people. Fiji said after hesitating for a long time.

Xiao Ming nodded. Since the country's national title was banned, the empire has entered a new era.

There's really no need to repeat the incidents of the nine clans at every turn. The guilty people can be punished according to their guilt, and there is no need to make a lot of fuss.

Moreover, he is also worried that the public will continue to riot, so it is better to calm this matter down, just enough, so as not to disturb people's minds, then it will not be good.

However, it is not appropriate 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: It's enough to be dismissed. I said that you have to take turns for the commander of the military region. Now that the day has come, it stands to reason that the commanders of the six military regions of yours have to be exchanged with each other, but now Zhu Sansi is in Alaska. , and Lei Ming's war in Nanyang has not yet ended, so you and Ye Qingyun exchange the commander's position with each other, as for Qi Guangyi, he is good at cavalry combat, and now Ottoman and Tsarist Russia are just around the corner and need him in the Northwest Military Region.

Ye Qingyun was happy, he had been in the ice and snow for all these years, and now it was finally time for his rotation.

Luo Xin was silent for a while, his eyes moistened, and finally said aloud: Thank you for the grace of the emperor!

He knew that this was Xiao Ming's expedient measure. Changing the military region meant that he went to a completely unfamiliar place, and neither he nor the generals of this place were familiar with it, and no one would listen to him if he wanted to rebel.

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

Nodding lightly, Xiao Ming motioned for Qian Dafu to retire. During this time, he was physically and mentally exhausted. It was too difficult to manage an empire, and there were too many broken things.

After the crowd dispersed, Xiao Ming returned to the imperial study. Before his butt was hot, an eunuch came to report to Luo Quan and Niu Ben to meet him.

After thinking about it for a while, he still let the two old ministers in.

He had been refusing to see the two of them until the result was announced, and they were both shrewd and didn't bother him.

The reason for this is that he does not want to be influenced by the two.

emperor.

In the imperial study, Luo Quan suddenly knelt on the ground, while Niu Ben looked helpless.

What's the trouble with the old general? Xiao Ming helped Luo Quan up.

At this time, Luo Quan was already weeping. He had learned of Luo Hong's punishment at the gate of the palace, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

Your Majesty, it's our Luo family who can't stand against the Emperor. Luo Hong, a traitor who seeks to usurp the throne, deserves what he deserves and deserves his death. Even so, the Emperor still reuses Luo Xin. Such kindness, the old minister will not be able to repay.

With a deep sigh, Xiao Ming said: Old general, there is no need to do this, I said in the courtroom, Luo Xin is Luo Xin, Luo Hong is Luo Hong, the empire is no longer in the past, and whoever commits a crime will be brought to justice. , will not implicate innocent people, not to mention that the Luo family has fought bloody battles for the empire for generations, I will keep it in my heart.

Luo Quan's heart is bitter, and now he just hates Luo Hong for being so stupid, after all, the Luo family has been extremely favored in the empire before.

The emperor is open-minded, and the old minister admires it. Today, the old minister came here not to beg for mercy. I hope that the emperor will allow the old minister to personally end my traitor!

This... Xiao Ming was a little surprised.

Luo Quan said loudly: The Luo family has been loyal for generations, but today there is such a disobedient child. According to the Luo family's family instruction, such disobedient descendants should be cleaned up, and the emperor will be fulfilled.

Niu Ben nodded, meaning that the Luo family did have this rule.

Xiao Ming sighed slightly, he said: In this case, let Luo Hong leave it to the old general, the Luo family has done a lot for the empire over the years, and I am not a heartless person, from the shooting to the collection of the corpse, the old general himself. Let him be the master, it's a decent way to let him go.

Luo Quan cried out when he heard the words, which was the last face for Luo Hong.
