Chapter 86: Cut it off directly without further trial
Zhu Houzhao came down, stood in front of Ma Wensheng and other officials, and said: "I originally intended to uphold the ambition of the late emperor and govern the country with benevolence, but unexpectedly I was first forced into the palace by the traitor Wang Yue and others. Now it is revealed that Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others have committed murder. Jun's case! However, I still can't bear to kill living beings, but it involves the revenge of killing my father, the son of man. The filial piety and the loyalty of the monarch and his ministers, now that the ministers are asking each other, they will reluctantly comply with their request and kill Wang Yue, Liu Jian and other ten clans who rebelled against the party! This will not only calm the spirit of the late emperor, but also shake the courage of the villain! However, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang’s main culprits will not be executed for the time being, and they need to be executed with special punishments!”
But at this time, Li Dongyang did not agree. He was asking for forgiveness from the late Emperor Hongzhi, but he did not expect that Ma Wensheng directly agreed to Zhu Houzhao's decree to kill the ten tribes without any rejection. Suddenly Li Dongyang became confused. Well, he looked at Ma Wensheng with fear and anger. He wanted to say that Ma Wensheng was the only person who could reject Zhu Houzhao's proposal of the ten clans at this time.
After all, Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything clearly.
But Li Dongyang didn't expect that Ma Wensheng didn't hesitate at all, and just went down the slope and agreed to Zhu Houzhao!
Li Dongyang knew that his regicide had really angered Zhu Houzhao and Ma Wensheng, but he still couldn't help crying and said with a smile: "Ma Gong, you and I have been ministers of the same palace for decades, why should we kill each other like this?"
Ma Wensheng didn't answer. He thought of Li Dongyang's ridicule and ridicule to him on the day he almost died of heartache.
At this time, when Li Dongyang saw that almost all the officials present were asking for the execution of the ten tribes, he panicked again and knocked his head on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty! Although I am guilty, the crime should not be punished by the ten tribes! And! If the late emperor were alive, he would not be able to bear the punishment of the ten clans if he was kind! Please obey the late emperor’s wishes!”
Zhu Houzhao walked up to Li Dongyang and kicked Li Dongyang directly!
Bang!
Li Dongyang fell to the ground, knelt down again, and looked at Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty can beat and scold his ministers, but please do not punish the ministers and the ten tribes, because this is really against the benevolence and righteousness of the late emperor!"
"You are worthy of using the late Emperor to threaten me, Li Dongyang. The late Emperor treated you well! If it weren't for the late Emperor, you would still have to suffer in the Hanlin Academy. How could you achieve the position of bachelor in the cabinet! The late Emperor treated you with great kindness. But how did you treat the late emperor? Tell me whether you deserve to die or not!”
Zhu Houzhao asked Li Dongyang loudly.
Li Dongyang nodded: "I deserve to die. I'm sorry for the late emperor! But my relatives and friends are innocent!"
"Since you were thinking about your relatives and friends, you should not have harmed the late emperor in the first place. They were not guilty, but there was a reason for their death. They died because of you, Li Dongyang! It was you, it was you, Li Dongyang, who killed them! You yourself Kill them! This is the price of your regicide!”
Zhu Houzhao said and walked back. Now he wants to avenge Emperor Hongzhi, and at the same time let everyone know the consequences of killing the emperor! Otherwise, if this continues, the killing of the king will only become more and more intense. Just like in the original history, as long as the king is slightly dissatisfied with them, these civil servants will dare to let the emperor fall into the water.
After Zhu Houzhao sat back in the jade chariot, he said in a cold voice: "It is better to choose a day than to hit it. Since the ten clans are being punished, there is no need to retry the accomplices. They will confiscate their homes and punish them. Among the officials present now, all those who are against the party and are among the ten clans will be punished." Let’s kill them here together, so we can catch them again when we get home.”
After Zhu Houzhao said this, he asked Ma Wensheng, Jiao Fang, and Xu Jin to be responsible for identification, and asked Guo Rong to execute the execution himself.
"Yes!"
Ma Wensheng, Jiao Fang, Xu Jin, and Guo Rong responded.
Then, Guo Rong received Zhu Houzhao's permission to take the Xiuchun Knife from an eunuch, pulled the knife out of its sheath, and followed Ma Wensheng with the glistening blade.
Ma Wensheng stood in front of a civil official: "Qiao Meng, the right judge of Dali Temple, nephew and son-in-law of Liu Jian!" Qiao Meng, the right judge of Dali Temple, was already trembling and even forgot to beg for mercy. As soon as Ma Wensheng finished speaking , Guo Rong's embroidered spring knife was swung down.
Click!
Qiao Meng, the right judge of Dali Temple, immediately had his head dropped to the ground!
A bleeding human head rolled to the ground, and half of it even fell to the floor.
"Prime Minister Xi Liangwan of Shuntian Prefecture, Xie Qian's brother-in-law!"
Jiao Fang also stood in front of an official at this time. The official was so frightened that he immediately fainted and fell to the ground. Guo Rong had to lift him up and slashed him with a horizontal knife. Suddenly, the lower half of his body fell to the ground. His head was still in Guo Rong's hand, and the officials kneeling next to him were so frightened that they fainted.
At this time, Xu Jin had not yet walked in front of an official named Sui Lanru, a Shaoqing official from Taichang Temple. When the official saw that someone had been killed, he was so frightened that he kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare your life! I really didn’t know that Li Dongyang would commit regicide. I regret that I should not have married my daughter into his Li family. I would like to order my daughter to hang herself. Please spare my life!”
"The parents ordered the matchmaker to tell you that your daughter married into the Li family because you, the father, are clumsy. Your daughter is pitiful, but you are really hateful. Kill her!"
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and in a moment, Sui Lanru's head fell to the ground.
At this time, Ma Wensheng stood in front of a fat official: "Kong Xianxian, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, is Liu Daxia's niece-in-law!"
But Kong Xianxian was busy begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, I am the descendant of a saint who has not yet been born in the fifth service of Duke Yan Sheng's mansion. Please spare my life for the sake of the saint!"
"Speaking of Liu Daxia, I need to tell you one thing. Liu Daxia was suddenly bombed that day and the reason was never found out. Later, I got a dream from the late emperor and found out that he had been punished by heaven. Now the truth is revealed, just like the late emperor's dream. As mentioned in the book, Liu Daxia both Saints are related, but there are still divine punishments. It can be seen that saints will not tolerate such unfaithful and unjust people. Since you are a descendant of a saint and have been implicated in the regicide case, in order to maintain the loyalty left by the saint, you should protect him with your death. "Kill!"
As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Guo Rong swung his sword again, and Kong Xianxian's head fell to the ground with him!
Among the officials present, there were relatively few who were related to Liu Jian, Wang Yue, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, etc., so not many were killed, but they were killed one by one, and more than twenty people were killed!
The entire Fengtian Gate was almost flooded with blood, and the officials who were not killed were too frightened to breathe. Some fainted, some couldn't hold back vomiting, and some were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their heads broke out in cold sweats. Some were so frightened that they also begged for mercy, but in short, these officials also remembered the consequences of regicide.
Zhu Houzhao asked the Jin Yiwei to arrange the more than 20 heads into a small Jingguan, and ordered the officials: "Look up and take a good look at the consequences of regicide! Remember, this is just the beginning!" ”
With that said, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Dongyang again: "Li Dongyang, this is the consequence of your regicide. I don't want to ask you if you regret it. I just want to tell you that I will not let you go easily. I want you to see it with your own eyes." The pain of losing a loved one, and then I will chop you into pieces!”
Zhu Houzhao's voice when he said this was very low, but to Li Dongyang, it was the most terrifying voice he had ever heard. He trembled a little and looked at Zhu Houzhao tremblingly. He wanted to say something but had nothing to say!
