220, Zhu Cilong beheaded to the public, and the heads of Nanjing City are rolling
It doesn’t snow all the time in winter, it’s common sense.
But even on the days when there is no snow, the sun still cannot give people any warm feeling.
The sun in winter is too far away from the world, just as far away as the distance between the emperor and the people of the lower classes of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's so fucking cold." Zhu Cilang sighed with anger, and he also missed the heating before traveling through time.
Even if there is no heating, an electric heating stove is fine, no, an electric water bag is fine!
Beside Zhu Cixuan, Fang Gong smiled dryly and said, "Your Highness, Nanjing is actually much warmer than Beijing."
Zhu Cixuan shrugged his shoulders and said to Fang Gonggan: "You don't understand this, right? What about Shangshu Zhang and Shangshu Lu?"
Fang Gonggan Road: "Calculate the time, they should have arrived too."
As soon as Fang Gonggan finished speaking, two carriages drove in one after another, and then Zhang Shenyan and Lu Daqi appeared.
"Your Highness, I'm late."
Zhu Cilang laughed and said, "It's not too late, come on, let's sit down, today is a big day."
Then the question is, what kind of big day is it?
The answer is actually very simple. Zhu Cixuan will execute all the criminals related to the Duke of Wei today.
Simply put, it is a plot of beheading and being loved by the masses.
As for why you choose this date today, the answer is very simple, because today is a rare sunny day.
It is already very cold in winter. If it is placed on a snowy day, no one will come to see it. This goes against Zhu Cixuan's original intention.
Since notices had been issued two days in advance, a large number of people also came to the execution ground when they heard the news, causing a crowd of people and a tight block.
There were crowds of people, and there were also a lot of talk inside.
"Do you know why so many people were suddenly executed today?"
"I heard that the Duke of Wei secretly wanted to betray us during the war, but was discovered by His Royal Highness."
"This Duke is so inappropriate. He is obviously a guard of the Ming Dynasty, but he actually does such a thing."
"Not only that, I also heard that this Duke likes to eat human flesh on weekdays and kills an 18-year-old young woman every day, and uses this woman's meat to make meat buns to eat."
"This is too terrifying. No wonder he became a traitor. I heard that Zhang Xianzhong is also a guy who likes to eat human flesh. At this point, they are quite compatible."
"Fortunately, we have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so we would not have been conquered by these shameless people. Otherwise, our lives would be really sad. Maybe we are all dead."
Various remarks fermented among the crowd, but basically, the people were still very happy about this beheading.
There is actually a simple mentality here, that is, the people of the Ming Dynasty were indeed very awe of the officials. But on the other hand, they actually did not believe in these officials at all.
In the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the corruption and bribery of officials is simply a normal operation.
So when Zhu Cilang announced that Duke of Wei was corruption and bribery, and the amount was very huge, all the people accepted this statement immediately.
It can even be said that many ordinary people think that Zhu Cilang has reduced the number newspaper a little because of the fact that the Duke of Wei served the Ming Dynasty for so many years.
Because they think that it would be outrageous if they don't embezzle hundreds of millions of taels of silver, how could it be only tens of millions of taels of taels of?
Zhu Cixuan didn't know what people were talking about, but this did not prevent him from giving new orders.
"It's almost time, let's bring all the prisoners."
With the order from Zhu Cilang, a group of soldiers soon escorted hundreds of prisoners to come.
Although Zhu Cixuan arrested thousands of people this time, it must be pointed out that not everyone's crimes are sentenced to death.
The hundreds of prisoners in front of them were determined after more than half a month of high-intensity interrogation and indeed committed the death penalty in the Ming Dynasty laws.
As the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cilang is of course very clear that no matter what he does, he should do it within the scope of the Ming Dynasty's laws.
Someone asked Zhu Ciyang, but His Highness the Crown Prince will be His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future. The entire law is stipulated by Zhu Ciyang, so why did he still abide by it?
This is because the law of the Ming Dynasty itself was the most favorable situation for Zhu Cilang, which was originally created to maintain Zhu Cilang's rule.
Why did Zhu Ciyang violate this law? Isn’t this making Zhu Ciyang feel uncomfortable?
No matter what Zhu Cilang does, doing things within the framework of the law is actually the greatest convenience for Zhu Cilang.
He looked at the people on the execution ground, and at first glance, the one who knelt in front was no one else, but Xu Wenjue, Duke of Wei and Xu Dezhi and his son.
Xu Wenjue shouted in anger.
"Zhu Cilang, you killed our Duke of Wei like this. Are you crazy? We have been loyal to you for so many generations of people for your Ming Dynasty. You are exiled to the Great Wall. One day, the Ming Dynasty will be backfired because of your atrocities!"
After hearing Xu Wenjue's shouts, Zhu Cilang couldn't help laughing.
"It's such a stupid thing. Even the relationship between the primary and secondary is not clear. You must know that it's not someone else who really keeps your Duke of Wei for more than 200 years. It's our Ming royal family. It's okay if you don't know how to repay kindness, but you still want to betray the Ming Dynasty. I'm telling you this way, there are many people who want to serve the Ming Dynasty. The people have never lacked talents, but really loyal people. Therefore, it's time to say goodbye."
After saying this, Zhu Cixuan took out a sign order from the signing barrel in front of him and threw it to the ground with careless hands.
"Execute."
After hearing Zhu Cixuan's order, the executioners who had already prepared raised their swords in their hands one after another, and the swords fell down instantly amid the cheers of the onlookers.
Countless heads fell to the ground, and blood splattered on the ground, dyeing the snowflakes red.
Due to the large number of people, this round of beheadings was finally over half an hour.
Zhu Cilang sat there and watched the scene quietly. It was not until the entire beheading was over that he turned around and stared behind him.
Behind Zhu Cixuan, thousands of officials from Nanjing were all arranged in a square formation there, watching this execution.
Zhu Cixuan said something very seriously and sincerely to these old and new officials.
"Ability is of course very important, but for the Ming Dynasty, loyalty is also an extremely valuable quality. Do you understand?"
