Chapter 159
What Chao Tian said was well-founded, sonorous and powerful, and extremely convincing.

"My lord, Yang Tong was wrong. Yang Tong violated the three major disciplines. If he knows the law and breaks the law, the crime will be aggravated, and he will die quickly!"

Hearing the words of the lord Chao Tian, ​​Yang Tong was also ashamed, knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head in regret.

"well said!"

"My lord's words are too good, this is the wise master!"

"From today onwards, I am a commoner under the rule of your lord, and I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"

Chao Tian's words immediately aroused cheers and applause from the surrounding Korean people, and many people with grudges also admired Chao Tian very much at this time.

Seeing the reactions of the surrounding Korean people, Chao Tian secretly heaved a sigh of relief. What he said just now was not so much for Yang Tong to hear, but for the Korean people.

With the cheers and applause from the surrounding Korean people, Chao Tian knew that his goal had been achieved.

From this moment on, the people of Longyuan City truly surrendered to themselves willingly.

It seems that I have to add more fire, Chao Tian thought to himself.

"Lord!"

At this moment, Xu Da, General Lu, Master Shang and Disciple, Wei Wentong, Wu Yunzhao, and Wu Tianxi came together on horseback.

When he came to Chao Tian's side, he bowed and saluted, and his words and deeds were all respectful.

Chao Tian nodded slightly, and then told Xu Da and the others what happened just now.

"My lord, Yang Tong is a subordinate of the last general, and he has failed to teach me properly. Please punish me, my lord!"

After listening to Chao Tian's narration, the commander of the right battalion of the Infantry Army and the Four Treasures General Shang Shitu immediately bowed towards Chao Tianna's head like a jade pillar pushed upside down by a golden mountain, admitting his mistake.

"As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the last general has no leadership, please punish me, my lord!"

"I am a military commander of the three armies, and I cannot escape the responsibility. Please punish me, my lord!"

"My lord, please punish me!"

As soon as Master Shang and his disciples finished speaking, Xu Da, General Lu and others next to him knelt down on the ground, begging for punishment sincerely.

Although Chao Tian was moved in his heart, his face was still as cold as ice.

They glanced at Xu Da and the others, then at Yang Tong who was kneeling on the ground.

"Yang Tong has violated the three major disciplines. He should have shown his dignity to others. But because you are loyal and have great military exploits, I will spare your life."

"However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Another hundred sticks will be used as a warning to others!"

"Thank you, my lord, for not killing me!"

Hearing Chao Tian's punishment, Yang Tong was overjoyed, although a hundred army sticks is very difficult, but it's nothing to compare with the head of the owl.

After dealing with Yang Tong, Chao Tian turned his attention to Xu Da, General Lu and others next to him.

"Xu Da, General Lu, Master and Disciple Shang, and Wei Wentong, as commanders, you have no way to lead the army. You have not fully implemented the three major disciplines of our Chao family army into the army."

"Receive fifty military sticks each, as a warning to others!"

With the enemy at hand, it is impossible for Chao Tian to severely punish them, but it is enough for them to receive fifty army sticks as a symbol.

Although the number is only fifty, General Lu, who is a scholar, also has a bitter expression on his face. He is a literati who cannot carry a basket on his shoulders, and has no strength to restrain a chicken. Sorry.

Xu Da and the others readily accepted it. For them, the Fifty Military Sticks were just a relief.

Just when everyone thought this matter had come to an end, Chao Tian coughed softly and continued, "As the leader of an army, I, Chao Tian, ​​have no leadership, so I can't absolve myself of the blame. , to serve as an example to others."

"My lord, you can't. Since ancient times, Ming lords have known their mistakes and corrected them without admitting them. If my lord despises me so much, I'm afraid my majesty will be demolished!"

As soon as Chao Tian finished speaking, General Lu, the military adviser, stood up and tried to persuade him.

"What Lu Junshi said is very true, this matter has nothing to do with the lord, and the hundred army sticks will be spared in the end." Xu Da also echoed.

The master and apprentice Shang, Wu Yunzhao, and Wei Wentong who were next to him also spoke in agreement, advising Chao Tian not to try his own tricks.

But Chao Tian refused to enter, shook his head, and interrupted their advice.

"Don't you all hear that the prince violated the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime. My subordinates made mistakes, and naturally I am also responsible. There must be no less than one hundred army sticks, and they will be executed immediately."

As he spoke, Chao Tian found a bench from the booth next to him, lay down on it, and glanced at Li Yuanfang next to him.

"Yuan Fang, you come to carry out the execution."

"Yes!"

In fact, Li Yuanfang did not agree with Chao Tian's attempt to test the law, but he had always been loyal and would not disobey his lord's orders under any circumstances.

Immediately Li Yuanfang picked up a long stick from the side, the mouth of the bowl was thick and thin, and there were iron hoops on both sides, which made people feel shuddering.

"Li Yuanfang, do you dare to hit the lord? How courageous!"

Just when Li Yuanfang walked towards Chao Tian step by step with a long stick.

Wu Tianxi, who was next to him, could not stand it any longer. His tiger eyes were wide open, and he looked fierce. Holding a half-moon gilt handle in one hand, he lay across in front of Li Yuanfang, roaring in a low voice.

"Wu Tianxi, stand down!"

Chao Tian lay down on the bench and scolded without turning his head.

Wu Tianxi, who is invincible in double boring, glanced at Chao Tian unwillingly, then retreated to the side in anger, and stopped talking angrily.

Li Yuanfang carried the long stick and walked towards Chao Tian step by step. When he came close, he raised the long stick high, but he couldn't let go of it no matter what.

"Li Yuanfang!"

"The end is here!"

"Execution!"

"Yes!"

Snapped!
As soon as the words were finished, Li Yuanfang's face was serious, and he raised the long stick high, and then let it fall hard, with a clear sound that everyone could hear clearly.

hiss one by one
It's really fucking painful, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be able to show my strength. By then, Li Zailong hadn't killed me, and I would have died under that stick.

"one."

Xu Da was beside him, with tears in his tiger eyes, counting loudly.

Snapped!
"two!"

Snapped!
"three!"

Snapped

"98"

Snapped!
"99!"

Snapped!
"one hundred!"

A whole hundred army sticks hit Chao Tian's body solidly. If it wasn't for Chao Tian's abnormal physique, he might have died long ago.

But even so, the back was still covered in bruises, so bloody that one couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Yang Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, burst into tears, saying that he knew he was wrong, and kowtowed all the time, his forehead was also bloody in a moment.

All the officers and soldiers of the Chao family army were equally moved, they were lucky to have this lord, their faces flushed red, secretly thinking of serving Chao Tian.

The people who watched the excitement around had already had a good impression of Chao Tian, ​​and when Chao Tian led the hundred army sticks, the people were not only shocked, but also supported.

From ancient times to the present, there has been a saying that the emperor commits the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law!

However, which emperor has done the same from ancient times to the present?
Even Tang Zong, Song Zu, Qin Huang and Han Wu couldn't do it.

Courtesy is not inferior to ordinary people, punishment is not superior to high officials, and the ruling class seems to be born with immunity.

The same is true in Koryo. These people have only seen ordinary people being beaten, but they have never seen officials who take punishment by themselves.
