Chapter 1082 Slaughter
Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If the old emperor had this mentality, he would be relieved. At least he had not felt any emotion when he saw the mother and son, or had pity for his son and was soft-hearted. In that case, the ninth prince's efforts would be in vain.
Fortunately, Emperor Tianwu's hatred for these two people has surpassed everything, such as family affection and love. Under such great hatred, don't talk about anything. Then Emperor Tianwu said, "They are suffering here, and I think they are lonely. Xiao Yuanzi, go and tell my other sons and the concubines in the harem to let them line up to visit. Such a grand occasion is not in vain for Lulu." After that, he glanced at Liu again and said disgustingly: "When everyone has finished visiting, I will send this woman to the punishment rack, and I will give her to the punishment."
A word of hanging almost scared Liu to death. It was a scorching sentence! In the past, even if the concubines in the palace had made a big mistake, they gave three feet of white silk or a glass of poisonous wine, or were really disobedient, so they were strangled to death directly, but they had never heard of any scorching sentence. In fact, not only the concubines, but also in the Dashun Criminal Law, although the scorching sentence existed, no one had ever suffered such a crime.
Slashing is also called cutting bones and leaving meat. It is said that there is a very particular way to pay attention to it. The executioner cuts off the flesh on the criminal's body with a sharpened blade and executes it by cutting it out. People who are cut are often serious and the law enforcement officers believe that his death cannot be punished, so they have to use this method to punish it. This is not counting. What is most terrifying is that during the execution process, the prisoner cannot die. From the first knife, a total of 1,000 knives must be experienced, and it will not be possible to die until the last knife.
When Liu thought of this, he was about to hit the wall on the spot, but was stopped by the guards. Emperor Tianwu was determined: "If she died early, none of you will survive."
Finally, I had seen everything I should have seen, and the palace people carried Emperor Tianwu out of the death row again. On the way to Zhaohe Palace, Emperor Tianwu said to Zhang Yuan: "Everyone said that the royal family has no affection. I didn't believe it before. I always thought of being good to these sons and not being disappointed. But now I know that the royal family really has no affection! If you treat them well, it doesn't mean that they can treat you well. You treat them as your sons, but they don't treat you as your father. For the sake of a throne, you can harm me to this point. What's the use of such a son?"
Zhang Yuan quickly advised him: "The emperor is calm, not all princes are like this. Isn't it just an eighth prince? The third brother used to be, it doesn't count."
"Well." Emperor Tianwu nodded, "It's okay to think about it this way, at least those other kids are still good." He said so, but he was still unhappy and unhurried, and even felt irritated towards the sun above his head. Even if a palace servant was holding an umbrella, he felt that the sunlight could come in directly through the umbrella, making him unable to help but cover his forehead with his hands, and hurriedly urging: "Go away quickly, I don't want to bask in the sun."
Because Emperor Tianwu issued an order, the princes and concubines had to line up to visit the tragic situation of the Eighth Prince and Liu in the dead cell. The princes were fine, but after seeing it, they sighed for a while. But the concubines were not so lucky, they were so disgusting that they vomited, and were almost carried out by someone from the prison. They were also scared and thoughtfully cursing Liu, but unexpectedly, in just a blink of an eye, Liu and the Eighth Prince were now in the end.
A smart person said, "Who has ever had a good ending when he went against the Ninth Prince?"
The sixth prince Xuan Tianfeng was responsible for the responsibility of supervising the country and was the last prince to come to the death row. He did not go alone, but also brought Guiren Li out of Jingsi Palace and went to the death row with him.
Li Guiren is a very nervous person with extreme ideas and can easily get into a stubborn position. During these days, she was locked in Jingsi Palace. Sometimes she would cry, sometimes she would laugh, sometimes she would hate her sister who was thrown into death priests, and sometimes she would think that her son was sitting on a dragon throne in charge of the country's responsibilities, and she felt that life was full of hope. When the sixth prince came to pick her up, she was telling her maid Zuo'er about what would happen if she became the queen mother in the future. When she heard that her son was here to pick her up to see the eighth prince, she was unhappy.
But what if you are not happy? This is the emperor's order, and she cannot be tolerated.
Li Guiren followed the Sixth Prince and thought of seeing the two people, she didn't know how to face them for a moment. They were her sister and nephew, and they were also the two people she hated the most in her heart. With such a dual identity, how would she feel when she saw them again?
Li Guiren kept thinking about it all the time, until the death row, and then she found that there were many concubines waiting here in the prison gate. And those who came out of it all had pale faces and vomited. Some even lost control of their minds and shouted madly - "It's so terrible! It's so terrible! The Eighth Prince is a devil, and he's going to die of rot!"
She was a little scared and was unwilling to walk forward. She could still hear the concubines waiting outside whispering. Someone said, "I heard from Concubine Hua that Liu was already crazy and was seeking death every day, but she was under the supervision of the guards and could not die."
Some people also said: "The Eighth Prince is even more miserable, his butt is rotten, and he is worse than a eunuch."
"I heard that the environment in the zombie is very poor. The prisoners are in the same prison, and the smell can be vomited out on the spot."
"The emperor sentenced Liu to death. She didn't want to be punished by such a prisoner. She always wanted to die. Unfortunately, she couldn't die. Even if she was on a hunger strike, it was useless, because Princess Yu would come to the palace every day to give her a shot. After the injection, she would not die even if she didn't eat."
Li Guiren's body shivered and her teeth were fighting. She wanted to tell Xuan Tianfeng not to go in, but the person walking in front had no intention of stopping. The palace servants following her were still reminding her from time to time: "Empress, follow up quickly, the Sixth Prince has gone a little far."
The Sixth Prince is now in charge of the state supervision position, and his status is basically the same as that of the crown prince. These concubines are still a bit awe of him when they see him, and they are also cautious about Concubine Li. No matter whether she is Concubine Li or Concubine, she is the biological mother of the Sixth Prince. Unlike the Eighth Prince, he is a gentle scholar, an idol of the literati and a reliable prince. During this period, he was in charge of the state supervision position, and he also managed the smoky and chaotic court over the past few months, and his achievements were also gratifying. Therefore, no one dared to underestimate the Sixth Prince. When he came, he took a few steps back and gave him a path.
Xuan Tianfeng is still a scholarly aura. This temperament is innate, just like Xuan Tianhua's fairy spirit, and cannot be erased. Even though he looked serious at this moment, his face was covered with a light yellow prince's robe, and under the heavy pressure of his noble spirit, he could not suppress the aura of books.
He took Guiren Li to the death cell. When the guards saw that the sixth prince was coming, they understood what they had done. They handed Li Guiren a sachet they had prepared in advance and picked one with the strongest fragrance so that she could hide it in her mouth and nose to resist the smell in the death cell.
Although Concubine Yuan had made some psychological preparations, she even adjusted her mentality when she heard people talking about the situation inside outside the prison. She thought that even if she could not face it normally, she would not be scared to cry and vomit like those people. But when she really saw the Eighth Prince and Liu, all the psychological defenses that had been raised before collapsed in an instant, so that her legs became weak. If it weren't for the support of two powerful eunuchs, she would have sat on the ground.
The sixth prince turned around and helped his mother with his own hands. Then he pointed at the eighth prince and said to her: "Mother, do you think he is miserable in this way? Are you scared?"
Guiren Li nodded in a daze and said tremblingly: "Feng'er, I've looked at it, let's go out quickly!"
Xuan Tianfeng shook his head and said, "Mother must take a closer look, and think while watching. I won't hide it from you. His tragic situation was caused by Princess Yu, because he once sent someone to go to Feng Zirui's bed in Ye, in order to make the child who was less than ten years old lose his virginity at a young age. Princess Yu was angered and then committed this sin to him. Look, this is the end of going against them. Mother doesn't want me to be locked up here one day, right?"
"How could it be you? How could it be you?" Li Guiren said loudly: "Don't you have a good relationship? You have helped her, how could she harm you?"
"I helped her because of love, but everyone has their own limits. Feng Yuheng's limits are ninth brothers. If you touch me again and again, it is hard to guarantee that she will take this account on my head. Mother, if you really love me, live a good life and don't think about those ghosts and gods anymore." He said while pointing to Liu in the other cell, and said again: "Look at her, you are sisters. The Liu family has close contact with the Gu Po family in Gu Shu, and this matter has been exposed. If your son does not retreat from your concubine position and send it to Jingsi Palace, I am afraid that my mother will not escape a miserable end. After all,... the Gu Master was transported into the palace by your hands."
Li Guiren shivered. It turned out that her son knew everything. It turned out that nothing she did could escape the eyes of others! She thought that God would not know anything. Could it really be...will she really harm her son?
"You are already the prince of the regent, so don't... don't be afraid of them, right?" Li Guiren was making the final struggle.
"It's just the regent, not the prince. What's more, even if it's the prince, they are my brothers. All I can do to them is protection, and it's absolutely impossible to hurt. Mother, this is the principle of the son's human nature. Please don't destroy it at will."
After he said that, he signaled the palace servant to send Guiren Li out, and he stayed in the cell for a while. Looking at Lao Ba and Liu, even though he couldn't bear it, he had to admit that all this was their own fault. He was scaring Guiren Li just now, and he believed that no matter what Guiren Li did, Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming would not take the account to him. But if there was really a day, even if the other person didn't blame him, how could he have the face to face those two people?
If a prince in charge of the country cannot even control his own mother, why should he care about the world?
