I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

It can be said that Zhuge Liang killed many people this time.

"You have already surrendered to the king of Chu, but because of your own selfishness and lack of greed, you participated in the rebellion and harmed the people. It can be said to be disloyal and unrighteous."

Zhuge Liang looked at the remaining prisoners and said, "According to the law, you should be executed."

Zhuge Liang's words made everyone present couldn't help but stir up.

"Prime Minister, I waited to know that I was wrong, and I hope the Prime Minister will spare me waiting..."

The people below began to cry, and regardless of the blood on the ground, they knelt down and begged for mercy, looking very miserable.

Hey, it's no use begging for mercy, Zhuge Liang is the worst.

Wei Yan couldn't help sneering when he saw these people kneeling down and begging for mercy.

Would Zhuge Liang be such a good negotiator?

Do you really think that kneeling down and kowtow will let him let you go?

However, Zhuge Liang waited until the voices of those people stopped, and he continued to say, "You are unforgivable. This is under the order of the King of Chu to guard Chengdu. I wish I could have killed you all, but the King of Chu sent a letter asking me to treat you with leniency, only punishing the wicked leader and not holding others accountable."

Zhuge Liang's words stunned the people below, unable to believe their ears.

Is what Zhuge Liang said true?Is he kidding?

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

After a while, Zhuge Liang said again, "The King of Chu gave you a chance to save you from dying, but it doesn't mean that you can be safe and sound. Ben Cheng asks you now, are you willing to accept the punishment?"

"Will, will..."

"I'm waiting to be willing to..."

The people below hurriedly answered, only fools are unwilling, and if they don’t want to, they have to die.

"very good!"

Zhuge nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his face. He said, "As for the punishment of Erdan, Erdan will know at that time. Now, Erdan can leave. But don't forget, who has forgiven Erdan."

"Great kindness, King of Chu, I will never forget it." The person below said loudly.

Maybe it was because he knew that he could save himself from death and escaped the catastrophe, and the voice was loud.

At the same time, because of the desperation, these forgiven people have a sense of gratitude in their hearts, and they are full of gratitude to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

A rebellion fell, but the impact of the matter was far-reaching.

First of all, a group of people with dissent was eliminated, and people were killed, which greatly deterred the people of Yizhou. In the future, people in Yizhou would have to weigh themselves up if they wanted to rebel.

Secondly, kill a group of people and forgive a group of people. It is not difficult to imagine that the group of people who are forgiven will never dare to oppose Liu Bei easily in the future, and even they will become more loyal to Liu Bei because of this.

In short, Zhuge Liang's move made Liu Bei's rule in Yizhou more stable, and also won most of the people's hearts.

"The prime minister's skills are superb, I admire it so much..." ..

3002, kill the chicken to warn the monkey

In the place where Zhuge Liang worked, Wang Lei, Dong He and others joined the old Yizhou branch, and they bowed to Zhuge Liang with sincerity and sincerity, and expressed their respect to Zhuge Liang.

Wang Lei, Dong He and a group of people who took refuge in Liu Bei were not involved because they did not participate in the rebellion and had no connection with the rebels.

Although Zhuge Liang targeted them intentionally or unintentionally, suppressing them, but their mentality was very positive, or they were very smart, knowing that the emperor and the courtier were suppressed without any complaints.

This made Zhuge Liang very satisfied with them.

When calculating the big families in Chengdu, Zhuge Liang did not attack them.

When Zhuge Liang sent Wei Yan to arrest the rebels in the city, many people were implicated, but Wang Lei, Dong He and the others were not implicated.

But they didn't stay out of it. After those big families were arrested by Zhuge Liang, Wang Leidong and the others bravely came to plead with Zhuge Liang and ran around for those families.

Although Zhuge Liang knew that they did not participate in the rebellion and did not attack them, it did not mean that he would give them face. Zhuge Liang ignored Wang Leidong and their pleas.

To this day, it is even more massacre, killing everyone headed by Leng Bao, but in the end, a large number of families are pardoned.

Most people can't see the deep meaning of Zhuge Liang's move, but Wang Leidong and smart people like this can understand it at a glance.

In addition to killing the chickens to warn the monkeys, there is also to subdue the group of wobbly wallheads, make them submit to Liu Bei, and let Liu Bei truly control Yizhou in his hands.

Wang Lei and the others believe that after this one time, those who want to rebel will no longer have the courage. If they want to do something in the future, they have to think about it and think about it again.

This time, Zhuge Liang's killings were all well-deserved, and he spared a group of them. He did not completely reduce the Chengdu family by one-third. This result is quite satisfactory.

In this era, aristocratic families are important middlemen in governing the country, and they also represent the strength of a place.

If there are few noble families in a certain place, the foreign noble families will occupy the majority, and the local power will be weakened.

For Wang Lei, Dong and these Yizhou elites, Liu Bei's entry into Yizhou has become a fact, and it will be Liu Bei who will govern Yizhou in the future.

But if Zhuge Liang eradicated the local family in Yizhou here, in the future, the family in Jingzhou would definitely take advantage of it and seize the rights and interests of the Yizhou people.

Wang Lei, Dong He and the others started running around, speaking for the rebellious families, hoping that Zhuge Liang would be punished lightly.

They worry that the power of the gentry in Yizhou will be eradicated, and Yizhou will be occupied by pigeons in the future.

Now Zhuge Liang has only eliminated those rebellious families and weakened part of the power of the gentry, but this result is still acceptable.

Wang Lei, Dong He, and the others were relieved, at least when they were in the ring with Jingzhou guys in the future, they wouldn't be afraid of not having enough strength on their own side.
