Space-time SWAT

Chapter 26 Li Wei

Since the emperor said that these people were traitors of the rebellious army and should be killed, the family members of the deceased did not dare to complain.Without Zhulian, they are already so powerful, how dare they hold resentment?

Su Dongchen confiscated the ill-gotten gains that those people had taken by force, and compensated the people and soldiers in the army who had been harmed by them.Then, out of his own pocket, he rewarded all the decapitated people with a medium-sized coffin to collect their corpses.Those who have homes within a radius of a hundred miles will be sent home, and those who have no homes or whose homes are hundreds of miles away will be buried in the soldiers' cemetery near the camp.

The civilians are fine, they think they are unlucky, they can only cry when they receive the funeral report and the coffin sent back, and havetily handled the funeral.Although some powerful nobles and wealthy officials dared not say it clearly, there were immediate family members of the deceased crying and screaming in the mourning hall, pointing fingers at each other, cursing "Su Yan Wang" fiercely, and throwing out the condolence gift sent by Anguo Gong's mansion.Those who were secretly involved with the prince's forces were even more determined to take revenge on An Guogong's mansion and find a way to bring Su Dongchen down.

The murderous reputation of "Su Yan Wang" has just spread in the capital, and Jiang Yuanwu, the newly appointed leading general of Fengtai Daying, also ordered to kill.

This great general stood up at the end of his life. He had fought against the Rakshasa at the northwest border. He had experienced hundreds of battles, and he returned to Beijing recently to take charge of the Fengtai Camp.He comes from Dingxihou's mansion and is the second son of the old Dingxihou. His family background is not as good as Su Dongchen's, but he has a very powerful mother-in-law, Princess Shoukang.This princess is the current emperor's direct sister. She had done a lot to protect her younger brother back then, and then she married into the British government, the number one honorable man of the year, and won the support of many clans and nobles for her younger brother, ensuring his successful ascension to the throne.Princess Shoukang was a powerful princess all her life, and the emperor treated her very gracefully, and awarded titles to all the children she gave birth to.She is quite defensive and protective of her son-in-law, so few people dare to offend Jiang Yuanwu directly.

There were only 20 "rebels from the army" who were beheaded in the Fengtai camp, and there were more than [-] officers and soldiers who were batoned, which was much less than that in the Xishan camp, so Jiang Yuanwu's reputation was much better than Su Dongchen's.

Even Jiang Yuanwu himself admitted, "It is possible to get a wrong name, but never a wrong nickname. I was called 'Jiang Tiimian' in the north, and Mr. Su was called 'Su Yan Wang' in the south. Just understand that I kill less than him, and I will work harder in the future."

Su Dongchen reciprocated, and said with a smile: "It's just that the situation is different. Master Jiang is the same as me. Both defend the country and kill the enemy to serve the country. There is no distinction between superiors and inferiors. Besides, 'Soldiers who subdue others without fighting are the ones who are kind." Also', like I only know how to kill, I am purely a martial artist, Master Jiang has always had strategies, much better than me, I will learn more from Master Jiang in the future."

At that time, it was the big court meeting that must be held every tenth, and the censors turned up one after another, impeaching Su Dongchen for "tyranny and injustice, the remnants of the soldiers did their best, killed more than a hundred, and blamed more than ten thousand sticks, mourning and mourning, the heavens weeping blood, the heart is like a demon, and the heavens cannot tolerate it." ", just because of his brutal behavior, he "infected" Jiang Yuanwu, and maybe he would also "infect" Shi Qing, the leading general of the Tongzhou camp. Slack, unable to shoulder the important task of defending the capital and defending the emperor.

Most of the civil servants didn't take Su Dongchen's behavior seriously, and they all thought that it was understandable to kill one or twenty people like Jiang Yuanwu did, but it was not unacceptable to kill more than 100 people at one time, and more than 1 people were bedridden. It was appalling, so they condemned it one after another. The words were fierce, as if they were crusading against national thieves.

The military generals didn’t take it seriously, “killing more than a hundred scum and beating more than ten thousand people with military sticks is such a big deal? Since you dare to violate the military regulations, you will kill 1000 people and beat 10 people. Soldiers have been like this since ancient times."

Jiang Yuanwu sneered, "I have been in the northwest border for more than ten years, and I have killed more than a hundred deserters, defeated soldiers, and soldiers, and more than ten thousand officers and soldiers who have been beaten with army sticks. Even I have been beaten with army sticks several times. Rules are like iron, no matter who violates them, they should be severely punished, otherwise what is the army?"

The British Duke smiled, "If not, why build an invincible iron army?"

Lord Xin Guo nodded, "If the army is not strictly controlled, how can it resist the iron cavalry of foreign barbarians?"

Dingxihou said with a smile: "My younger brother, general, has always been ruthless and selfless, so why do we need the influence of others?"

An Guogong sighed, "Dongchen is still too kind and merciful, so he relaxed the time limit for two quarters of an hour. If there is a war, these young soldiers delay for two quarters of an hour, I am afraid that the barracks will be broken by the enemy." , all dead without a place to bury them.”

"Exactly." A group of nobles echoed, "It's still too little to kill. After all, you are young, and you are too soft-hearted."

Su Dongchen bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Father and all the adults have taught you well, I will definitely pay attention next time, and I will never relent."

Most of these dukes had false titles on them, and they didn't usually go to the court to discuss matters. They only stood in the hall during the big court meeting, basically serving as the background, and only prepared for the emperor's military inquiries.They have never said a word on state affairs, and it is rare for them to speak up and wave their flags like today.Most of these nobles who ridiculed the censor were royalists who supported the emperor, so the emperor did not stop him, with an expression of "I have a broad mind, and my lovers can speak freely".

The faces of the civil servants turned black, and their voices became louder. Confucius said poems, quoted scriptures, and negative comments such as "cruel" and "cold-blooded" emerged one after another, and the criticism became more intense.

There was a burst of verbal confrontation in the main hall, and the quarrel was so heated that almost hands were raised.

Su Dongchen didn't talk much. It is reasonable to say that when the censor impeached him, he would have to defend himself, but now he is too lazy to talk, and just secretly observes the chief minister of the cabinet, Zheng Yicheng.Of course, there are other ministers, he has carefully read and sensed them.A few people gave him a subtle feeling, as if they were related to the first node he was looking for.Now he has no clue, he can only remember these few people, and when he returns, he will ask someone to collect their information, and then analyze it with Yan Fei.

Civil servants and military generals fought, none of the seven elders in the cabinet participated, and all the old gods were on the ground with their eyes slightly closed, as if they were resting.The three princes were all in the hall, and wisely they didn't join in, they just smiled slightly and stood by.

Su Dongchen also laughed, Jiang Yuanwu also laughed without saying a word, Shi Qing remained silent as before.The three of them had the same rank and position, so they stood in the same row.

Su Dongchen is like an exiled immortal, Jiang Yuanwu is as majestic as a mountain, and Shi Qing is as fierce as iron.The three styles of the three people are very different, but they are not mutually exclusive when they stand together, and they look very harmonious.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at Longyan with great joy.Shi Qing was born in a poor family, from a soldier to a general step by step, it can be said that his life was close to death, all depended on the emperor's promotion and cultivation, so he was devoted to the emperor and ignored anyone who came to win him over.The previous leading generals of the other two battalions were also members of the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor has been a little bit out of energy recently. These people hurriedly looked for opportunities to cling to Qianlong, trying to win the merits of the dragon, which made the emperor very angry.Although the two generals who were replaced this time came from noble and wealthy families, they were both royalists. At present, they seemed to be loyal and pure ministers to him, which made him feel relieved for the time being.As long as the external threat is removed, he can concentrate on fighting the courtiers and three sons.

The three princes are all concubines, and their biological mother is not his favorite person, so he is not close or distant.Since he wanted to entrust these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and hundreds of millions of people, he had to let him see whether they had the potential to be a wise king, that's why he didn't appoint a crown prince for a long time, just wanting to take a good look.

Now all kinds of ghosts and monsters have crawled out. Although it annoys the emperor, it also makes him happy.If you understand it earlier, you can eliminate these hidden dangers earlier, and make it easier for the next emperor, which is not as difficult as it was when he ascended the throne at the beginning of the year.Of course, loyal ministers like Su Dongchen and Jiang Yuanwu who have just passed their thirties were specially cultivated by him, thinking that they could be reserved for his son in the future.

Now that the autumn harvest is over, taxes are being paid everywhere.Although there are minor disasters this year, the weather is smooth in most places, which is a rare good year.If the people have food to eat, they will not rebel, and there is a scene of peace from south to north.Today's court meeting didn't discuss other important matters, and they kept arguing about whether Su Dongchen was brutal or not.

As the person involved, Su Dongchen calmly said, "My lords governing the country, do you want to strictly abide by the law? Shouldn't you strictly abide by the military regulations when you govern the army? According to the Seventeen Prohibition 54, those people are enough to beheaded dozens of times. All the officers and soldiers should have been beheaded. I would have allowed their heads to be placed on the neck for the time being, and only given a small punishment with military sticks. Allowing them to pay off their crimes in the future is an extrajudicial kindness, and I am especially lenient. If you adults think It would be wrong to do so, so why not impeach Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice first. So many criminals are executed every autumn, is it also counted as "tyranny and injustice, and the disabled people to succeed"?"

Every autumn, the death-row inmates who were executed had to be reported to the emperor for interrogation before being decided. Su Dongchen's speech was extremely informative, and countless meanings could be derived from it, each of which was heart-pounding.All the ministers, who were blushing, stopped abruptly. They couldn't organize an effective verbal counterattack for a while, and soon they turned pale and retreated one after another.

Seeing that Su Dongchen, a martial artist, could render the censor speechless with just a few words, the emperor was overjoyed, "Taizu once said that the army must have iron discipline, without discipline there is no combat effectiveness, strictly abide by military regulations It is something every officer and soldier must do. Both General Su and General Jiang have done a good job, and I look forward to your making the two battalions into an invincible iron army as soon as possible."

Su Dongchen and Jiang Yuanwu went out to salute at the same time, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's grace."
