Xuan Dianwei entered the court hall?
Is Your Majesty really going to start a massacre today?
No one could guess what Ying Yuan was thinking.
......
Dian Wei was also confused.
He's just here to be a bodyguard.
I never thought I would be able to see the emperor's true face.
He didn't even have time to take off the double ice-iron halberds on his back before he hurried to the imperial palace.
Only when I got here did I realize the iron on my back.
It is a capital crime for a soldier to bring weapons into the court.
When the ministers saw this scene, they all gasped.
It turns out that he came prepared.
One has to wear iron tools when entering the palace. How could he dare to do that without Your Majesty's permission?
Ying Yuan was very excited.
It seems that Cao Cao is indeed trying to use me as I guessed to control the ministers.
Otherwise, why would Dian Wei wear weapons when entering the palace?
It seems that if we want to destroy the country, we have to rely on Cao Cao.
Dian Wei didn't know what they were thinking.
He only knew that he had made a mistake.
So without the slightest hesitation, he knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "General Dian Wei, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"
Dian Wei was appointed as a general by Cao Cao, and he could call himself "the last general" in front of Ying Yuan.
"What crime has the general committed?"
Ying Yuan frowned slightly.
Dian Wei said in a deep voice, "I have violated the rules of the court and entered the palace wearing a weapon. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
If you do something wrong, you will be punished.
He still understood such a simple truth.
Otherwise, he was very afraid, because this matter would affect Cao Cao who was leading the troops outside.
Hear the sound.
The ministers were confused at first, but then suddenly understood.
It turns out that Dian Wei is acting with Your Majesty.
Today he wore weapons into the palace and was not punished by the emperor.
Then in the future, more generals will surely follow suit.
Moreover, the drama between the two was probably told to the four generals.
After all, among all the military generals in the court, only these four wore armor and weapons into the palace every day.
Your Majesty, you have killed two birds with one stone. This is truly a good plan.
Ying Yuan frowned slightly.
Punishment?
Shouldn't you be cooperating with Cao Cao to threaten me?
What does it mean to punish him now?
If I punish you, will Cao Cao take action?
Even the 10,000 soldiers in the palace would be mobilized upon hearing the news?
If this is the case, punishment is indeed necessary.
Punishment alone is not enough, rewards are also necessary.
If you are punished, the soldiers under your command will feel resentful; if you are rewarded, every soldier will follow your example and wear weapons when entering the palace.
After Cao Cao kidnapped me, all the generals in the court were armed. I never knew when a general would be unhappy with me and try to assassinate me.
Whether or not he can kill me is yet to be determined.
The key is that this is a stupid method.
By then, all the civil and military officials will surely think that even soldiers who carry weapons into the palace can be rewarded. By then, they will surely think that I am extremely stupid.
That’s great! At the critical moment, my brain works quickly.
Thinking of this, Ying Yuan smiled and said, "Wearing weapons in the palace is indeed against the ancestral rules, and he must be punished. However, General Dian Wei has worked hard and made great contributions, so he must be rewarded.
Draft an imperial decree: General Dian Wei is unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery, and a national hero. I will confer upon you the title of General Zhongwu. As for the bearing of weapons... you will receive thirty lashes of the cane."
General Zhongwu was a fourth-rank military officer.
The ministers were silent.
Dian Wei suddenly raised his head and looked at Ying Yuan with eyes full of disbelief.
He thought that at worst he would lose his head, or at worst he would become paralyzed on one side of his body.
Unexpectedly, he was only given thirty lashes.
Moreover, His Majesty even appointed me as General Zhongwu!
This...Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch!
No wonder Lord Cao respects Your Majesty so much!
Serving such a benevolent king is not a pity, even if it means death!
At this moment, Dian Wei instantly realized how important his mission to protect Ying Yuan was.
At this time, Daji, who was sitting next to Ying Yuan, spoke up, "First-time offenders should be given a lighter sentence, which is also the ancestral precept. I hope General Dian will not let your majesty's efforts go to waste."
Hear the sound.
The ministers remained silent.
What can they say?
There are rewards and punishments, and both kindness and severity are what a wise ruler does.
Just thirty lashes...
Are you afraid that others don't know that Dian Wei is your Majesty's confidant?
And the Queen...
When he first came to the court, he cooperated with His Majesty tacitly, and the two of them sang in unison. Even if the ministers had the courage to deal with Dian Wei, they could not find any reason.
First offense leniency...
In other words, apart from Dian Wei today, if anyone else carries a weapon into the palace in the future, it will not be his first offense.
At this moment, General Si Zheng's face looked extremely ugly.
This is His Majesty warning us!
Such an emperor's mindset is truly frightening.
Your Majesty in the past...was too patient.
Unbelievable!
"From today on, I, General Dian Wei, will serve Your Majesty until death, even if it means going through fire and water!"
Dian Wei spoke completely from the heart.
The emperor’s grace is great.
Such a benevolent monarch is worthy of my loyalty.
Hear the sound.
Daji smiled slightly, and her expression when she looked at Ying Yuan was full of admiration.
With a reward and a punishment, the loyalty of a brave general was won.
Your Majesty's methods are truly brilliant!
Only Ying Yuan felt that what Dian Wei said was just polite talk.
The purpose was to stabilize himself for the sake of Cao Cao.
One day, he will reveal his true identity, cooperate with Cao Cao, and break into the palace.
