Chapter 13 Execution!
Zhu Youtang watched with cold eyes as the officials who came forward one after another to request employment.
There are three cabinet ministers here, Wan An, Liu Jue and Liu Ji.
There are also several ministers from the six departments, including Ye Qi, the minister of household affairs, Zhou Hongmo, the minister of rites, Yin Min, the minister of official affairs, and Liu Zhao, the minister of the ministry of industry.
In addition to the old minister, there are also ministers and ministers.
The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the best of the six subjects, the Taiqing and Shaoqing of the Five Temples...
There are many high-ranking officials, and even more minor officials.
Groups of hundreds of people.
Wan An, the chief minister of the cabinet, felt somewhat calmer after seeing so many officials following him in requesting to serve.
No matter how cruel Zhu Youtang is, he can't let all of them serve as ministers, right?
Without them, who would govern the country for him?
If Zhu Youtang did it alone, he would be exhausted and unable to handle so many official duties!
Wan An looked around secretly. Liu Jue and Liu Ji both gave him reassuring looks, which made Wan An calm down even more.
Forcing the uterus!
They are forcing the palace!
Your Majesty must not be allowed to reopen the West Factory!
If that lunatic Wang Zhi is allowed to supervise the West Factory again, the supervision will become more stringent and people will die.
Zhu Youtang sat back on the throne and stared at these officials indifferently.
Then, the thin lips opened slightly.
“I’m sure!”
"Everyone comes up with the certificate of official appointment."
"Retreat from the court!"
Zhu Youtang stood up and walked quickly back to Fengtian Gate.
Siting on the dragon chariot, Zhu Youtang sent someone straight back to the imperial study.
Huaien quickly followed Zhu Youtang, looking a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, did you really let all those ministers go?"
"After that, who will handle the trouble for the Emperor?"
Zhu Youtang glanced at Huai En. : "The cabinet is gone and I will not form another one." One?"
"Go, send someone to Nanzhili, Xuan Wangzhi returns to the palace, I want to use him"
"Take Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian again. , please return to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters.”
Huaien quickly agreed: "Here."
In Fengtianmen Square, Zhu Youtang had left for a long time, but all the civil and military officials were still in the square.
All the civil and military officials were frightened and did not come to their senses for a long time.
Is Zhu Youtang’s life over? !
Let go of hundreds of senior officials in the capital at one go, including three pavilion elders and four ministers!
Is he really not afraid that no one will handle government affairs?
Second Assistant to the Cabinet Liu Jue looked at Liu Ji with a confused look on his face: "Is this... Your Majesty really accurate?"
"How could this be so?" Liu Ji was confused and shocked.
"This... what should I do?" Ye Qi, the Minister of Household Affairs, also panicked.
Not only was the old monk Ge Shu panicked, but other officials who also applied to become officials were also panicked.
"Wan Shoufu, Your Majesty is really sure, then this West Factory must be opened?"
"This, this is simply nonsense. It is unprecedented to release so many officials to serve in one go! ”
“True If the West Factory is to be reopened, is there any way for us to survive?”
“…”
The officials were in a mess, all focusing on the chief minister, Wan An, hoping. He can think of a way.
But what solution can Wan An come up with?
He sighed and stood up: "What are you watching me do?"
"Go home and write a book."
Wan An really wants to To become an official.
Xichang was too scary. He had to escape from the capital before Xichang could restart. Wan An left.
For the remaining officials, look at me and I look at you
Reluctantly, they also left Fengtianmen Square.
After leaving the palace gate, the rich officials got on their horses and sat in sedan chairs, while the poor officials had to walk home.
Wan'an, Liu Jue and Liu Ji lived not too far away, so they traveled together.
When I walked near Caishi Street, I suddenly saw a sea of people on the street, all surrounding Caishikou.
Everyone has a joyful expression on their face, and the whole street is as lively as the New Year.
From time to time, there were people nearby calling for friends and running towards Caishikou.
Wan An, Liu Jue and Liu Ji seemed to have remembered something, and all of them looked embarrassed.
Wan An got off the sedan and stopped a civilian who was rushing to Caishikou.
"I'm asking you, what are you going to do?"
The man saw that Wan An was wearing official uniform, and there was some fear in his eyes, so he answered respectfully.
"Go back to the official, we...are here to see the beheading..."
As expected!
The three of them looked at each other and immediately got on the sedan again.
"Quick! Go quickly! Go around Caishikou!"
"Yes, sir."
After Wan An and the others left, the person who had just been stopped quickly ran towards Caishikou.
At this moment, the market entrance was crowded with people watching the excitement.
He tried his best to squeeze into the crowd on the third floor and the third floor outside.
I saw Qing Yun Bo Zhou Shou, Chang Ning Bo Zhou Yu, and the officials left to Zhang Yuan and a group of officials, wearing shackles and chains, and pinned them down at the entrance of the vegetable market.
Caishikou is a very prosperous street in Beijing, named after the fruits and vegetables sold around it.
But after the mid-Ming Dynasty, there was an additional repertoire here every year.
That is, every year after autumn and on the eve of the winter solstice, prisoners on death row will be publicly interrogated and executed here.
But today Zhu Youtang has an order to handle special matters. He will immediately ask and kill Zhou Shou, Zhou Yu, Zhang Yuan and others without waiting for the autumn.
Zhou Shou, Zhou Yu and others looked at the crowd around them with desolate eyes, filled with regret.
They really didn’t expect that Zhu Youtang would actually order them to be executed Ling Chi regardless of their blood ties.
The person in charge of executing the execution was Xie Xiaoyan, the old executioner from the Ministry of Punishments. He stripped Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu naked and tied them to the pillars with fine fishing nets.
As long as the fishing net is pulled back hard, the flesh of Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu will flow out through the holes in the fishing net.
Xie Xiaoyan looked at Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu, with substantial anger flashing in his eyes.
"You two uncles, do you still recognize this villain?"
Before Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu could say anything, Xie Xiaoyan began to introduce himself.
“In the 17th year of Chenghua, two adults built a yard and occupied the land of 21 farmers. They also killed seven farmers who tried to stop them.”
“One of them , is the villain’s only son!”
“I never thought that you two uncles would one day fall into the hands of the villain!”
"If I don't cut you three thousand six hundred times today, I will never let you die first!"
After saying that, Xie Xiaoyan started the execution with the knife and flowers flying.
"Ahhhh!!! It hurts!!!"
"Kill me! Kill me quickly! I can't stand it anymore! Ahhhh!!!"
Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu were originally from Changping. After gaining power, they became tyrannical and caused harm to their hometown.
Many people here have been persecuted by Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu, and they want to eat their flesh alive.
Seeing that Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu were in such a state, how could they not clap their hands and cheer them?
Zhou Yu let out a shrill scream.
The knife in Xie Xiaoyan's hand kept moving, attacking both Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu at the same time.
For a time, the market entrance was filled with the screams of the two people.
"Ahhh! It hurts! It hurts so much!"
"Please! Please! Kill me quickly!!! It hurts! It hurts so much!!!"
< br>"Kill me! Kill me!!"
"..."
