Zhu Youlang's face immediately became gloomy.

It is not that he cannot accept the people's judgment on the situation, nor that he cannot accept that they have made some painful decisions to survive.

But there must be a bottom line.

For example, you cannot be a traitor or sell your country for honor.

If you violate this, Zhu Youlang cannot accept it no matter what.

What He Chun did was even more excessive.

He was the patriarch of the Wanxian Heroes, so he should have a responsibility. But he was in front of others and had two sides and three swords, and he could do everything he could.

It is no exaggeration to describe him as ruthless and honest.

Perhaps in his eyes, Zhu Youlang is not a king or a father at all, but a bag of gold and silver walking, and a wealthy future that is within reach?

In fact, Zhu Youlang sometimes thinks that the situation in the Southern Ming Dynasty is not bad, at least it should be a river-blanking rule like the Southern Song Dynasty, right? Why was he driven to a corner of the southwest by the Qing Dynasty and fighting for trapped beasts?

Is it really just the reason for the court?

It seems that it is not entirely true now. There are too many traitors like He Chun!

These people have no concept of family, country and world in their hearts, and their minds are only one acre of their own land. Other people's interests can be damaged, but they cannot lose a little of their own.

If someone like this is fighting to be a leader, how could Nanming not perish?

"Where is this now?"

Zhu Youlang asked with a gloomy face.

"Report to Your Majesty, this beast has been taken down by me and is detained with his tribe."

Li Dingguo quickly replied.

"Bring him to see me."

Li Dingguo was stunned.

"His Majesty?"

"Bring him to see me."

Zhu Youlang repeated.

"Abide by the order!"

Although he didn't understand why the emperor wanted to see He Chun, Li Dingguo still chose to follow the order to execute

Soon, He Chun was taken to the imperial front.

When Zhu Youlang looked at He Chun who was tied up and tied into rice dumplings, he was so angry that he kicked him hard.

"I have never seen such a shameless person. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

He Chun was kicked for three times before he struggled to get up and kowtowed to Zhu Youlang.

"The grass people were confused by lard for a moment, so they did such a wrong thing. I hope your Majesty will forgive you."

Zhu Youlang was amused.

This guy committed such a heinous crime and said he was treason. He even thought about being able to escape from his crime and survive.

"Forgiveness? If I forgive you, where is the law of the Ming Dynasty? If I forgive you, will I be worthy of the soldiers who fought bloody battles? If I forgive you, I am afraid that later people will follow suit. After all, even if I commit a serious crime, I will forgive you. Yes, right?"

He Chun was frightened by Zhu Youlang's repeated questioning and could not speak for a moment.

After a long time, he reacted and said, "Your Majesty, Caomin is also forced to helpless. The Qing army, it was not the Donglu who took Caomin's son as a hostage and forced Caomin to do this."

Zhu Youlang only found it funny and shook his head and said, "What you said is not a reason at all. Regardless of the true or false what you said, it is true, and your personal relationship is above the family, country and the world? Do you know that one of your decisions is likely to fail the imperial court's plan?"

The emperor was furious and buried a million corpses.

Zhu Youlang looks really scary now.

Even Li Dingguo, who was beside him, felt that today's emperor was a little unfamiliar.

"Your Majesty, the people of Cao Min know that they are wrong, and the people of Cao Min know that they are wrong. I hope your Majesty will spare Cao Min's life when the first crime is committed."

He Chun kowtowed like pounding garlic, even his forehead was broken.

Zhu Youlang was completely speechless. He was shameless and invincible in the world.

This guy still wants to survive? Who gives him the courage?

"I originally just wanted to kill you, but to warn future generations, I decided to kill your nine clans."

Zhu Youlang said it firmly and had no room for negotiation at all.

He Chun thought he had heard it wrong, and was stunned for a long time before crying loudly: "Your Majesty, the grass people are just confused for a moment and will not die. As for the family and tribe, they are even more innocent. Please ask Your Majesty to be a benevolent king, so you cannot kill the grass people. Otherwise, wouldn't your Majesty be a slander? How should you write it in history books a hundred years later?"

Be a benevolent lord?

It may be feasible to govern the world in the prosperous times, but in this chaotic era in the late Ming Dynasty, being a benevolent monarch was simply an idea that only a fool would have.

To take a step back, even being a benevolent monarch is kind to those people who think of the Ming Dynasty, rather than leading the way like He Chun.

To He Chunren means to be unkind to oneself and to the people of the world.

As for how Zhu Youlang is written in history books a hundred years later, I am even less worried.

Because history is written by the winner.

As long as Zhu Youlang wins, he will be the leader of the revival like Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu.

If he lost, he would definitely be as dark as the Qing Dynasty like the Yongli in history.

Therefore, he should not be a benevolent monarch, but a ruthless person.

Being a benevolent lord cannot save the Ming Dynasty, you can only be a ruthless person!

"You don't have to worry about this. I will kill you!"

Zhu Youlang sneered and said, "He Chun's crime of treason for communicating the enemy and treason cannot be forgiven. All his relatives in the nine clans were beheaded, and He Chun himself was executed by sternly scattered to warn future generations."

He heard that he was about to be lingchi, so scared that he fainted.

Zhu Youlang waved his hand in disgust and signaled to drag He Chun down.

After the eunuchs dragged He Chun away like a dead dog, Li Dingguo stepped forward and advised: "Your Majesty, is it too strict to kill the nine He Chun clans?"

"Does the King of Jin think I am a bloodthirsty person?"

Zhu Youlang's face was very bad, and Li Dingguo hurriedly bowed: "I don't dare."

"I just feel that I cannot be as kind as Duke Xiang of Song."

Zhu Youlang sighed and said, "I also want to be a benevolent king, but the King of Jin has also seen how He Chun treats the court and me. How many people are there in the world like He Chun? If I treat He Chunren, people in the world will definitely think that treason is nothing, and at worst they can just admit their mistakes in the end. In this case, how can we fight this battle? I am afraid that the soldiers will be cold before the battle is fought, right? The King of Jin has been leading the army for so long, and he doesn't understand such a simple truth? What are the soldiers most worried about? It's not a cruel and terrible enemy, but someone stabs the knife in the back. They worked hard on the front line, but someone stabs them in the back. Who has the heart to fight?"

Li Dingguo was ashamed of Zhu Youlang's words and said repeatedly: "It is the kindness of the minister and the woman. Your Majesty wants to kill one to warn others and warn people later."

Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "Treason is a serious crime among the serious crimes. I did this not to kill He Chun's family, but to show those who are on the fence what the fate of betraying the Ming Dynasty and betraying me!"
