Martial Arts: Becoming a Tyrant From Summoning a Sword Slave

[-]. More than [-] people of the Huwei Legion were killed in battle, and more than [-] people were seriously injured and disabled. Your Majesty is requested to issue pensions and support the disabled soldiers.

[-]. King Rui was killed, and more than [-] people in his army surrendered, asking His Majesty how to deal with it.

[-]. Your Majesty, please reward the meritorious soldiers of the Huwei Army.

[-]. Pray for Han Xin and Zhang Liang who are responsible for transporting grain and grass.

[-]. The body of the anti-king Shangguan Rui is already on the way back.

(The assassination of Wei Zhuang and Xuan Jian is a top secret. Shangguan Lin has already stated in his secret letter that this matter must not be disclosed, so Wang Jian did not give Wei Zhuang and Xuan Jian credit.)

A total of seven things were said, and those who should ask for rewards have been asked for rewards, and those who have asked for credit have also been given credit. Wang Jian only missed himself.

Of course, Shangguan Lin also understood what Wang Jian was thinking.

Now, he is already a general of the Yipinzhu Kingdom, and was granted the title of Marquis of Wucheng.

This time, it is another meritorious service in countering the rebellion, and it deserves a big reward.

But what should the emperor reward him for?His status is already very high, and the reward is to be crowned king.

There is a saying in the Apocalypse ancestral system that the opposite sex cannot be crowned king.

If Wang Jian asked for a reward, it would be a master of merit.

Wang Jian is a smart person, he thought of this early on, so he deliberately left out himself.

His reward can only be decided by His Majesty the Emperor, and it is not up to him to have his own ideas.

Shangguan Lin secretly smiled in his heart.

If it were other generals, Shangguanlin would probably take this opportunity to let him retreat bravely and hand over his military power for retirement.

But Wang Jian was summoned by the system and was absolutely loyal. Shangguan Lin was not afraid of him supporting himself.

After the victory report was finished, Shangguanlin looked around at all civil and military officials, and asked softly, "Have you heard the victory report clearly?"

All the ministers responded one after another: "Return to Your Majesty, I have understood."

"Your Majesty, please follow the old general's play and reward the ministers who have made meritorious service."

"It's natural."

Shangguanlin nodded lightly, "The soldiers threw their heads and blood for the country, so naturally I can't treat them badly."

"Left phase, right phase."

"The minister is here."

"The two of you will take the lead in the matter of awarding rewards, discuss with the cabinet, and submit a charter to me."

"The minister obeys the order."

Afterwards, Shangguan Lin said again: "Wang Jian said that King Rui has [-] troops surrendered. What do you think, how should I deal with them?"

"Go back to Your Majesty!"

A censor came forward and said: "The rebel army following King Rui to rebel is an unforgivable capital crime. I beg your Majesty not to forgive you lightly."

"Although the statement does not blame the public, it does not include conspiracy to rebel. If the crime of rebellion can be lightly forgiven, won't everyone follow suit in the future?"

"When the time comes, where is His Majesty's might? Where is the law of the apocalypse?"

This censor was very aggressive, and his words were full of murderous intent.

Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone understood what he meant.

He wanted to kill these 10 people.

"Return to Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

Another censor stood up and objected, "These 10 people are also my Tianqi subjects. They may not all sincerely rebel with King Rui. How can they all be executed?"

"Now that they have surrendered, His Majesty should give them a lighter punishment to show His Majesty's kindness and love for the people."

"In this way, the [-] surrendered troops will definitely appreciate His Majesty's benevolence, and will be loyal to His Majesty and serve His Majesty with death."

The two censors spoke loudly, and their words made sense.

One kills, the other pardons.

The officials in the hall discussed in low voices, and there were people who supported both theories.

Chapter 38 The Way of the Emperor

Shangguanlin glanced at the officials and said softly, "Han Fei."

"The minister is here."

"You are the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and you know the criminal law the most. Why don't you say a word today?"

Han Fei smiled lightly, and replied: "Skills are used to know traitors, and punishments are used to execute punishments. The existence of laws is to protect the stability of the country and make the people stable and survive."

"The [-] troops followed King Rui to rebel, undermined the stability of the country, and harmed the people. They have committed a capital crime. There is no excuse for this."

"According to the law, these 10 people deserve to die!"

"Oh? You mean let me kill you?"

"No, please Your Majesty pardon the death of 10 people!"

Han Fei shook his head and said, "Although killing 10 people can uphold the law, it will make His Majesty known as bloodthirsty."

"Moreover, once these 10 people die, the people of Tianqi will only fear His Majesty, not respect."

"In this way, the people's obedience to the law is not out of awe of the law, but out of fear."

"Awe and fear are completely different."

"I suggest that your majesty can kill generals at all levels, commanders of thousands, and commanders of centuries in order to maintain the laws of the apocalypse. This is your majesty's heavenly power."

"Give mercy again, pardon the low-level soldiers, and show His Majesty's grace."

"Exerting such kindness and power together, Fang will show His Majesty's kingly way!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were amazed.

He secretly thought that Han Fei really had learned a lot, had a deep understanding of the essence of the law, and even understood His Majesty's thoughts.

He also secretly sighed that His Majesty the Emperor had a good eye, and he took a fancy to Han Fei.

With their sharp eyes, they naturally knew that the newly appointed Minister of Punishment, Han Fei, and Minister of Officials, Zhang Liang, were both His Majesty's confidantes.

Perhaps as early as the prince's time, His Majesty had already brought them under his command.

Looking around the court, Shangguan Lin said in a deep voice: "Rebellion is an unforgivable crime. Even if I want to forgive lightly, the law still exists, and I don't know how to break the law."

"Pass down the decree, among the surrendered troops, all those above the centurion will be killed!"

"For the remaining people, I think that God has the virtue of good life, so I won't do more evil."

"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped."

"The surrendered troops who participated in the rebellion this time were all treated as soldiers and criminal slaves. Only those who have made great contributions can be granted amnesty."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials saluted and shouted, "Your Majesty is merciful!"

The so-called soldiers and criminal slaves are soldiers at the lowest level.

In war, they must take the lead and be the first to face danger.

When retreating, they are responsible for covering and are the last to evacuate.

Wherever there is danger, they will go there.

Therefore, the death rate of soldiers and slaves is very high, and it is the limit for one out of 100 people to survive.

Not only that, soldiers and criminal slaves made small contributions, which will not be recorded.

Their wages are the lowest, and their food is the worst.

The descendants of military soldiers and criminal slaves were not allowed to take imperial examinations, and were not allowed to do business, so they were born with a lower status.

At the age of 16, men must perform military service, and women will be married to other soldiers and slaves.

Generations have served the apocalypse.

Only by making great achievements can one get rid of the status of a soldier and a criminal slave.

In the 226th year of the founding of the Apocalypse, there were not many people who successfully escaped from the status of military soldiers and criminal slaves.

The matter of surrendering to the army has been decided, and the last thing left is to deal with the posthumous treatment of the anti-king Shangguan Rui.

He is the younger brother of the former emperor's mother and compatriots, and also the uncle of the immediate emperor, with a distinguished status.

According to common sense, after his death, he should enter the imperial mausoleum, enter the ancestral temple, and enjoy the incense of the ancestral temple.

But when he rebelled, the situation was completely different.

Therefore, in the court hall, the civil and military ministers seemed to have forgotten this matter.

Shangguanlin didn't say anything, and they didn't mention it again.

According to historical records, in the [-]th year of the Apocalypse era, April of the first year of Yuanwu.

Shangguan Rui, the King of Rui, raised his troops to rebel and was killed by Emperor Yuanwu Shangguanlin.

After death, the corpse will not enter the imperial mausoleum, and will not be sacrificed with incense and fire. It is not known where the corpse will be buried, and it is considered strange.

............

After the good news came to Beijing, Shangguan Lin was overjoyed and ordered the imperial city to congratulate him for three days. The curfew was also lifted.

The entire imperial city was filled with an atmosphere of joy.

Then, after retiring from the court, several ministers withdrew all their joy, because they were the traitors that King Rui had hidden in the court.

When Wang Jian went out to fight, Shangguanlin sent Zhang Han's shadow guards to keep on spying.

Now with the letter sent back by Wang Jian as evidence, Shangguan Lin finally found out all the insiders.

Not long after the officials returned home, the imperial guards came to the door.

After that, the family was ransacked and the family was wiped out, and the crime was announced to the world.

In the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace, Shangguan Lin received the reward for the mission of anti-rape.

This task is too simple to complete without any difficulty.

"Ding, it is detected that the host has completed the anti-rape task, the reward is being distributed, and the distribution is complete."

The electronic sound of the system sounded in my mind.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Li Si (third-rate realm), astrology."

"Li Si's background has been implanted, and now he is the head of the imperial court."

Is it just a long history?

Although the position of the chief historian is not low, it is actually not high.

Li Si's starting point is so low, and Shangguan Lin wants to directly lift him to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, which may cause controversy in the court.

Although Shangguan Lin was a tyrant, he was ruthless and murderous.

But he didn't want to be a defeated tyrant, but a wise tyrant, a tyrant who would convince the world.

Chapter 39 Expedited eight hundred miles, Qi Yan's army came to invade (please collect, ask for flowers)

Shangguanlin's methods were used to deal with corrupt officials and officials who broke the law and discipline, not against honest and good officials.

As an emperor, Shangguan Lin would cause conflicts among courtiers if he could not distinguish between rewards and punishments, which would not be conducive to the stability of the court.

As an emperor, the most important thing is fairness.

Even if he is a tyrant, he must be fair.
