Chapter 1789 Jiangshan intimidates everyone!
Looking at the cold eyes of the Duke of Zhenguo, Chen Changsheng said lightly.
"Regarding the beheading of officials and the clash with local troops, no matter how many explanations there are, it cannot change the fact that mistakes were made."
"Since you have made a mistake, you must admit your mistake and accept the punishment."
After receiving this answer, Zhenguo Gong said: "The Imperial Master is indeed fair."
"According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, anyone who kills an official shall be executed!"
"cut!"
"Must be killed!"
"I have ordered those involved in this matter to be escorted to the capital. Your Majesty will decide how to deal with them!"
Chen Changsheng's indifference made the corner of Zhenguogong's mouth twitch.
"Such a crime of treason is punishable by the extermination of three generations of the clan!"
"totally agree!"
"It's a pity that the criminals were all alone, and those implicated in their crimes were also escorted to Beijing."
"Unless the entire clan is executed, everyone who should be arrested has been arrested."
"According to the laws of the Song Dynasty..."
"According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, Jiangshan, as the commander of the army, committed such a serious mistake and will be demoted three ranks."
"According to military law, Jiangshan should be whipped with lightning eight hundred times."
"A photo of Jiangshan being punished will be delivered to Your Majesty later. At the same time, as the person directly responsible for this incident, I deserve to be punished, so I implore Your Majesty to punish me!"
Chen Changsheng bowed his hands to apologize, and the Duke of Zhenguo's face became even darker.
Because the position of national teacher was originally an honorary post, any punishment would only reduce the salary and take back the privileges bestowed by the Song Emperor.
Although Jiangshan was demoted three levels, the army was still under his control.
Such punishment has no effect on him at all.
Looking at Chen Changsheng below, Emperor Song raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Duke Zhenguo, are you satisfied with the Imperial Master's approach?"
"I have nothing to say!"
"If you have nothing to say, then let's withdraw from the court."
After saying this, Emperor Song left immediately, leaving behind the civil and military officials who were heavy-hearted.
"National Master, what a trick!"
The Duke of Zhenguo came in front of Chen Changsheng and said softly.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng laughed and said, "It's not that I'm good at it, it's that your people are too stupid. They dared to do something like concealing the report. If they don't suffer, who will?"
"Also, not only do you control half of the Song Dynasty's military, you even dare to extend your hand to the Ministry of War."
"You said His Majesty won't punish you, who will he punish?"
After receiving this answer, the Duke of Zhenguo nodded and said, "Good, very good!"
"I didn't expect that besides your good cultivation, you are also so experienced in officialdom. I really underestimated you."
"There are still many things you don't know."
"This is just an appetizer. Next time I'll definitely hit your wallet."
"Okay, then you can try it."
After making these harsh remarks, Chen Changsheng turned and left the hall, leaving the Duke of Zhenguo standing there alone.
......
Hundred Fruit Garden.
"Sir, today..."
"Let's talk about this later. Get ready first. Guests are coming soon."
Seeing Chen Changsheng coming back, Xing Piaopiao subconsciously stepped forward to ask.
But before he could open his mouth, Chen Changsheng interrupted her.
"Who's coming?"
Hearing this, Anle asked subconsciously.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "Of course it's your brother, the prince, who has been waiting for half a year."
After saying this, without waiting for Anle to continue asking questions, Chen Changsheng went straight into the room.
......
Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages.
"If he doesn't give us an explanation for this, we won't leave!"
"Yes, I'm not leaving!"
A group of people blocked the door and shouted loudly.
It was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with Jiangshan's behavior of arresting people.
"Anyone who lingers within three breaths will be killed without mercy!"
Instead of waiting for Jiangshan's explanation, the people's anger was aroused by Jiangshan's seven immortal king-level masters.
Faced with the oppression of the Immortal King Realm, the numerous bandits from the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages were instantly silenced.
But what happened not long ago made them reluctant to leave.
"We gave up our lives to not follow Senior Jiangshan, just to exchange for a future."
"But the boss's actions are chilling to the hearts of all the brothers!"
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, three old men with crutches came out.
Looking at the three old men, the seven Immortal King masters also frowned.
Although the seven of them were not afraid of these three people, if they had a conflict with them, the entire team would definitely be in trouble.
This kind of thing is no longer something they can decide.
"I do this to avoid chilling everyone's hearts!"
Jiangshan's voice came from the room.
As the door slowly opened, Jiang Shan walked out with a pale face.
Looking at the angry crowd, Jiang Shan said, "Since you have chosen to follow me, I have the obligation to help you survive."
"But I hope you understand that the present day is different from the past."
"As bandits, you can do whatever you want, but as a disciplined army, you must abide by military regulations."
"During the war, I repeatedly warned people not to punish officials without authorization."
"But a few of them, out of a momentary anger, killed all thirty-eight officials."
"If it weren't for this, how could we have clashed with the imperial army and lost so many brothers in vain."
"If this kind of behavior is not curbed, no matter how many of us there are, we will all die sooner or later."
"I can make this clear today. If anyone violates military regulations again in the future, the punishment will only be more severe!"
Jiangshan's words left everyone silent.
"But even if it violates the rules, it cannot be handed over to the court..."
An old man objected.
"Why can't we hand it over to the imperial court? Don't forget, we are also members of the imperial court now!"
Before he could finish his words, Jiangshan interrupted him.
"The imperial court has its own rules. As a member of the imperial court, you must naturally abide by these rules."
"If you don't want to comply, you can leave on your own."
"If we meet on the battlefield someday, I will fight you one-on-one for the sake of our acquaintance."
Jiangshan’s words left the old man speechless.
Seeing that everyone's arrogance had been suppressed, Jiangshan gradually slowed down his tone and spoke.
"I know you may not be used to this way of doing things, but I hope you can understand one thing: you are different now than you were before."
"Although the Nine Caves and Eighteen Villages were once a powerful force in the martial arts world, they were ultimately just a group of bandits."
"Let alone executing thirty-eight officials, even if you randomly execute one official, you will be in danger of being overrun by a large army."
"But now, thirty-eight officials are dead, and we've even fought a battle with the imperial army. Not only are you not harmed, you even have time to complain to me."
"All of this is because your identities are different from before."
"Aren't these current treatments enough to satisfy you?"
......
