Jiang Yueyang cupped his hands and said in a calm voice, "Your Majesty, although I am not well educated, I know a common saying: 'You can't judge a whole group of people by the same standard'.
The Lu family army is guilty, but not the entire army.
In ancient times, there was Mengchang who recruited talented people widely, and even thieves and chicken thieves were all employed by him, and they were all saved in the end.
Now that your Majesty is wise, you should distinguish right from wrong. The mistakes of Qiu Jian and others should not be made by the 300,000 Lu family soldiers.
Although I have only been in office for a few months, I know that the Lu family army has been guarding the border for many years, defending Great Xia against foreign enemies, and has shed countless blood and sacrificed countless lives.
If the whole army is punished for the crime of one person, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers and the people of the world! Who will serve Your Majesty in the future, and who will defend the borders for Daxia?
Furthermore, life is precious and children are innocent! Your Majesty should know that behind a life is a family.
Those people are so innocent!
I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on the innocent people, and to give the Lu family army a lenient sentence, so that they can make up for their crimes with meritorious service!"
Jiang Yueyang's words were heard by everyone present with great force, and those officials who felt that the Lu family's army was powerful could not help but fall into deep thought.
Lord Xiao Jiang is right, the child is innocent, and behind one life are many lives.
The system couldn't help but ask: [Host, how did you come up with that statement? And you can even quote from the classics.]
[To be honest, I can only say those words thanks to the frequent quarrels between the Left Prime Minister and his men and His Majesty. After hearing them so many times, I can also say a few words.]
Left Prime Minister: “…”
The system took a look at Emperor Yuan's expression and asked again: [Host, do you think the emperor can listen to you? ]
[I don't know either, but I don't think His Majesty would massacre 300,000 Lu's troops. I'm worried that he wants to kill Ah Yue.]
Seeing that Emperor Yuan was silent, Lu Yunting spoke again: "Your Majesty, the Lu family army was bewitched, and I cannot shirk my responsibility.
I voluntarily hand over the military power of the Lu Family Army, stay away from the court, and become an ordinary citizen. "
Emperor Yuan still ignored Lu Yunting, looked at Jiang Yueyang and slowly said: "My dear little Jiang, how do you want me to punish you leniently?"
Jiang Yueyang was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise and has already made a decision in his heart. I dare not speak rashly."
"All soldiers who participated in the rebellion were demoted to slavery and remained slaves for generations, and were not included in the amnesty.
All those who held positions above that of a hundred households were beheaded, and their descendants were demoted to slavery, to be slaves for generations, without pardon.
Lu Yunting failed to supervise properly, which led to the war. His crime is unforgivable! However, considering his merits in suppressing the rebellion, his merits and demerits can be offset. Therefore, he will be temporarily retained in office and will reflect on his mistakes for three months.
The remaining five generals were demoted three ranks and given fifty strokes of the cane. All their property was confiscated. Those below the rank of general and above the rank of thousand households were given thirty strokes of the cane.
The rest of the Lu family army will be fined for half a year." Emperor Yuan lightly sentenced the Lu family army.
After hearing Emperor Yuan's verdict, Lu Yunting pleaded, "General Shan is old, please allow me to take the caning punishment on his behalf."
"allow."
