Chapter 1036 Burning
Before the Chu family's joy had passed, the Chu family sent someone to tell them the good news about the Chu family. Mrs. Zhuo immediately slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "Oh, hey, this is such a great news. That boy Chu Yuexi is really fucked." Mother strives for success.”
"Well, this time, the Chu family also got ahead." Chu Xuanyu said calmly.
Mrs. Zhuo looked at him strangely, "Tell me, have you known about this imperial edict for a long time?"
Otherwise, everyone would be excited today, except her husband.
Chu Xuanyu chuckled, pinched his wife's relatively tender face, and said, "The emperor has discussed with me before. I was the first to raise the issue of the Chu family's title of marquis in the court."
Because Princess Qinghui was the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, it was difficult for the second prince to ask for this benefit for his son-in-law, so he was the first to speak.
He argued hard for a long time in the court, and finally got the civil and military officials of the court to agree with the emperor to confer Chu Yuexi the title of Qingyang Marquis.
The emperor also had selfish motives for conferring the title of Marquis on Chu Yuexi.
The Queen Mother liked Princess Qinghui. Because of Princess Qinghui, she mentioned to the emperor more than once that making Chu Yuexi an uncle or a marquis was better than a fourth-grade general.
The husband of her proud family, a direct descendant of the princess, turned out to be just a military general. It would be embarrassing to tell anyone.
The Queen Mother had said several times that Chu Yuexi had never made any great achievements, so even if the emperor wanted to make him a marquis, it would be unreasonable.
"Originally, I wanted to tell the emperor that I would not reward Aqi for her contribution this time. As long as we, my father and I, stayed at home for three years, it would be a great favor from the emperor. Who knows, the emperor still gave Aqi two official titles. ." Chu Xuanyu said.
Zhuo didn't understand the twists and turns of the officialdom, so she asked in confusion, "Wouldn't it be nice for the emperor to give official titles to Aqi's descendants?"
Chu Xuanyu explained to her, "Our Anjun Prince's Mansion is already eye-catching. After the second and third sons become officials, it won't take a few years for Xuan'er and Jie'er to also become officials. By then, our Chu family will be full of people." With six generals and even more, do you think the emperor can still sit firmly in that chair?”
Since ancient times, which dynasty's monarch has not been afraid of his ministers who are more powerful than themselves?
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhuo said, "Let's talk about what happens more than ten years later. Otherwise, you should resign early and leave the opportunity to your grandchildren."
Chu Xuanyu's eyes lit up, "Whatever your wife says, you can do whatever you want for your husband."
He can still take his wife to visit the mountains and rivers for a few years while he is still young.
Hehe...
In Yuqiong Garden, Chu Jingqi was also holding Xia Zihan and talking about this matter.
"Let's put this official title aside for now. Even if my son, Chu Jingqi, does not have this official title, he can still climb to the third-rank official position with his own efforts."
He said with an arrogant and confident look.
Xia Zihan was only thinking about going to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow. She said, "Aqi, when I go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow, let's tell the emperor about the new queen, right?"
"That's good. The Chu family has such a big happy event this time. There is no need for the Second Prince's Mansion to hold a banquet. Let the Chu family hold a grand banquet. When the time comes, we will have an excuse to join in the fun."
Chu Jingqi never liked to join in the fun, but it was rare for him to join in the emperor's fun a few times in his life. Of course he wanted to go this time.
As the only married daughter of the Chu family, Xia Zihan had to go when the Chu family held a wedding. As for the funeral in the house... the day of burial was coming soon.
"Tell my mother that the old lady's burial date should be brought forward. Witches are no longer a threat."
In addition to the imperial edicts from the Chu family, the Rong family, and the Chu family, there is also the emperor's imperial edict to deal with witches.
The government also posted this imperial edict at the entrance of the government office for the common people to see. The imperial edict stated that the witch would be executed in three days, along with her bodyguard.
There is also a row of small words below the imperial edict, which lists all the bad things the witches and wizards did during this period and the people they killed.
This truth shocked the entire people of the capital.
On the day when Eva and Mu Zhan were executed, all the people went crazy and threw rotten eggs at them.
Especially the families whose daughters were killed by Eva. They threw stones, tiles, specially sharpened wooden thorns... In short, they were just trying to beat Eva to death.
Eva's head was broken, her face was bruised, her hair was covered with rotten eggs, her whole body stank, and she looked very embarrassed.
Today, she still has a little bit of the demeanor of a great wizard.
Eva burst into tears, regretting that she had been merciful to Dasheng.
She should have arranged a great illusion as soon as she entered the city, letting everyone in the capital live in the illusion she arranged, and let them kill each other and eventually die of exhaustion.
But now, she has become a prisoner of Dasheng. She was fed Ruanjin Powder by the emperor and talisman water by the heavenly master. She could not move or perform witchcraft. Now thinking about these things, there are also What's the point?
Do you regret it? I regret not taking the medicine.
It's just that... I feel unwilling to do so.
Eva was so wronged that she cried hard,
The harder she cried, the more excited the crazy people were throwing eggs at her. A small number of people saw that she was a little girl and couldn't bear to throw eggs for a while, so they turned around and threw eggs at Mu Zhan.
It wasn't until the prison car stopped at Caishikou that the people stopped.
Eva and Mu Zhan were escorted out and walked to the center of the food market, where they were held down by two officials and knelt down.
"Kill them, kill them. They are the remnants of the Miao border. They must be killed."
"A scary witch, you come to me and live a low-key life, and you dare to kill people. It's really a death-defying rhythm."
"The witch, burn the witch with fire, burn the witch with fire..."
The people all shouted excitedly, and in the end, no one knew who was taking the lead, they all suggested burning Eva with fire.
In the eyes of ordinary people, a woman who knows witches is a witch, and the witch must be burned to death because the person burned to death has no soul, and the witch cannot turn into a ghost to seek revenge on them.
The people were very excited, and if the court disagreed, they would use fire to burn people.
This matter was quickly reported to the palace by the officials level by level.
The emperor was waiting for the news that Eva and Mu Zhan were executed. Unexpectedly, such news came.
After the emperor pondered for a moment, he ordered Eva to be burned at the stake.
Burning torture is to tie a person to a stone pillar, and then light a dozen fires under the feet. As the flames slowly dance upward, the stone pillar to which Eva is tied will gradually heat up.
The fire made the pillar hot, like a hot iron rod just taken out of the fire. Just touch it and the meat on your hands will be cooked.
The prisoner tied to the pillar will become unable to bear the increasingly hot pillar, and the flesh on her body will be scalded bit by bit until all the flesh on her body, including her internal organs, is scalded by the stone pillar. Until cooked.
