Apart from Liu Ye, who else wants to kneel down in front of Changling and confess his guilt today?
Naturally, they are all members of the Cao family.
If Liu Ye was an accomplice in persecuting the Han Dynasty, then the Cao family members who enjoyed the vested benefits of persecuting the Han Dynasty were undoubtedly the culprits.
When he was in Nanzheng, because of Cao Zhen's massacre of the city, Mi Yang pointed at the Han River and swore an oath: One day he would massacre all the Cao family members.
After the victory in the Battle of Nanzheng, this oath spread throughout the world at an extremely fast speed.
Liu Bei naturally knew about this.
Liu Bei has always been benevolent and righteous. If he heard the word "slaughter" in the past, he would definitely be unhappy.
But after knowing that the targets of Mi Yang's massacre were relatives of the Cao family, Liu Bei expressed his appreciation for Mi Yang in public at the court meeting.
Whether he is a descendant of the Liu family or a king and father of all people in the world, there is absolutely no way for the Cao family to survive in Liu Bei's place.
Because the Cao clan not only usurped the country of the Han Dynasty, but also raised the butcher knife to massacre innocent people many times.
During the Battle of Wuzhangyuan, Mi Yang executed some of the Cao family members on the north bank of the Weishui River after winning.
When Chang'an was recaptured, due to the sudden fall of Chang'an, many Cao family members did not have time to escape Chang'an City and were captured by the Han army.
It is this group of people that Liu Bei wants to question today.
Dozens of Cao family members came to Liu Bei and a group of Han officials under the escort of the Han army.
Looking at Liu Bei's angry look, the Han army did not wait for Liu Bei's order this time.
Suddenly, dozens of Cao clan members were pressed to the ground by the Han army behind them.
Just now, after Liu Ye spit out a mouthful of blood, he fell to the ground like a worm with a face like gold paper.
Dozens of Cao family members who were brought up were frightened out of their wits when they saw Liu Ye's ghostly appearance.
Even Liu Ye from the clan is like this, will their fate be good?
To be honest, most of the bloody Cao family members had committed suicide on the day Chang'an fell. Those Cao family members who could allow themselves to be captured by the Han army were basically greedy for life and afraid of death.
When a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death realizes that he is in danger, his first reaction is to beg for mercy.
The moment dozens of Cao family members knelt down, many cries for mercy echoed throughout the Changling Cemetery.
But in the face of dozens of Cao clan members crying and begging for mercy, Liu Bei never showed any mercy on his face.
Didn't hundreds of thousands of innocent people beg for mercy when they faced the slaughter of the Wei army?
If he had mercy on them today, how could he comfort the souls of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and how could he promote righteousness in the world!
Looking at the dozens of Cao clan members who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Liu Bei shouted loudly:
"Shut up, everyone!"
Although Liu Bei is old and frail, he has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and he always carries a bloody aura with him.
After ascending to the throne, Liu Bei gained a majestic imperial aura.
The fierce shouts combined with the two momentums shocked the dozens of Cao clan members in an instant.
Seeing Liu Bei's cold and stern look, dozens of Cao clan members trembled with fear, but they did not dare to howl again.
When there were only a few low cries around, Liu Bei pointed to the east of Changling and said bitterly to the kneeling Cao family members:
"You, the Cao family, are the descendants of Cao Shen, the famous Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.
Back then, Duke Cao assisted Taizu in bringing order to the world, and also assisted Emperor Xiaohui in stabilizing people's livelihood. At that time, people ranked him alongside Prime Minister Xiao, and his reputation was recorded in the annals of history. How beautiful it is!
And I, the Liu family, have never owed anything to you, the Cao family.
But Cao Gong went to the Han Dynasty, and you and others turned their backs on the Han Dynasty.
Duke Cao protects the people, but you and others harm the people.
Whatever Duke Cao did, you all went against the grain.
That place is where Cao Gong's mausoleum is. If there is a spirit underground, I think Cao Gong's heroic spirit is accompanying Taizu.
And if there is a spirit underground, I think Duke Cao’s heroic spirit is also watching you coldly right now!
Even if the water of the Wei River is poured out, it will not be able to wash away the infamy of your unfilial descendants who have forgotten their ancestors for generations to come! "
As Liu Bei finished speaking, the expressions of all the Cao clan members who were kneeling on the ground changed drastically.
They no longer dared to look to the east of Changling, and even their bodies were invisibly moving closer to the west.
But all their attempts to escape were in vain.
The Han army behind them stepped forward and turned their bodies forcefully to the east, and they were not polite to those Cao clan members who did not dare to face them and chose to close their eyes.
Under Mi Yang's instruction, the Han army reached out and opened the eyes of the Cao clan members.
The behavior of the Han army forced the Cao clan members to face the scene they least wanted to experience in their lives.
People in today's world attach great importance to their ancestors.
In the past, these Cao clan members didn't know what they were doing, and they were betraying their ancestors.
Otherwise, how could the appeal that Chen Lin wrote back then arouse Cao Cao's great indignation?
It's just that in the past, these Cao clan members enjoyed the benefits that Cao Cao brought to them. Those benefits paralyzed them and made them selectively forget this.
But today, in front of their ancestral mausoleums and in front of many famous warriors, Liu Bei directly popped the most smelly pustules on their bodies.
This made these Cao clan members feel heartbroken, and at the same time, it also exuded an unpleasant smell from their souls.
And if this is the case, it will not be enough for Liu Bei to calm down the anger in his heart.
"In front of you is Taizu's Spirit Tablet. All of you, please kneel all the way forward to apologize to Taizu!"
As Liu Bei issued this order, the Cao family members did not dare to neglect at all. They immediately turned towards the direction of Liu Bang's mourning hall in front, moving their knees little by little and moving forward.
Even Liu Ye, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly got up from the ground to resume his kneeling position after hearing Liu Bei's order, and then walked on his knees in the direction of Liu Bang's mourning hall.
Right now, their life and death depend on Liu Bei's thoughts.
When a group of Cao clan members and Liu Ye marched towards Liu Bang's mourning hall, Liu Bei also followed them with all the Han officials.
Looking at the Han sinners kneeling in front of him to confess their sins, Liu Bei felt something in his heart and couldn't help shouting in front of many celebrities in the world:
"Cao Ni's cruel fire burned the sky, his obscenity and poison were extremely filthy, the fishy wind spread to the four seas, and the evil spirit flourished in the eight wastelands.
The bamboo slips of Nanshan cannot describe Cao Ni's filth; the waves of the East China Sea cannot wash away Cao Ni's sins!
When Cao Ni was in power, he showed no mercy when there were floods and droughts. He just sat back and watched the hungry and homeless people, exposed as if they were reckless.
Cao Ni was in power, and the arrogant and powerful families spread all over the world. They stripped the people of their wealth and made all the gentlemen and women weep.
It’s been decades since Cao Ni’s rampant poison and cholera plagued the Han Dynasty!
Most of the people in Jiuzhou allowed him to go astray, but Tian was not surprised. Cao Ni thought that there was no one in the Han Dynasty, and finally usurped the Han Dynasty.
But is there really no one in the Han Dynasty?
It has been more than forty years since I Ben Youji Buyi joined the army because of the great chaos in the world.
In the past, it reached Bashu in the west, Jiangxia in the east, Nanzhong in the south, Hunan, Hunan and Hanmiang. They were all included in the territory. The world is divided into three parts, and I have one of them.
The clan members of the Han Dynasty did not dare to feel at ease, so they sent General Yangbei to drive away the rebels, save the people from ruin, and restore the dignity of the Han Dynasty.
Since Cao Ni polluted our country's mountains and rivers with the smell of mutton, and the people were in chaos, Nayu led the heroes to work hard to clear it out, aiming to revitalize the Han Dynasty, eliminate the riots, restore the people to live in peace, and avenge the shame of the Han Dynasty!
The mountains and rivers in the world are clear about Yu Dandan’s words;
The bright sun and beautiful sky know the meaning of my diligence.
Now Guanzhong has been decided for the first time, and I will ask the guilty ministers for their crimes and sacrifice them to the ancestral mausoleum. "
Every time Liu Bei took a step forward, he read out something from his heart.
When Liu Bei read the last sentence, he happened to be standing in front of Liu Bang's memorial tablet.
Looking at Liu Bang's newly made memorial tablet, Liu Bei cried out his last words with tears in his eyes:
"What does it mean that the Han Dynasty has no one?"
Listening to Liu Bei's words just now, the ministers behind Liu Bei had already felt something.
Liu Bei's words just now can be seen as an accusation against Cao Wei, or as an overview of his own actions over the years.
When what Liu Bei just said spreads to the world in the future, many people in the world will have a new understanding of the legitimacy of today's Han Dynasty.
This is the side that Liu Bei, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, should show to the world. It is also a great political significance of Liu Bei's memorial service to his ancestors today.
But Liu Bei's last words made the ministers behind him hear the apology and guilt in Liu Bei's heart.
Perhaps in Liu Bei's view, it took him more than forty years to achieve this, and it was too late.
It is also a real loss to the ancestors of the Han family.
But while feeling guilty, Liu Bei also felt happy in his heart.
Maybe this day took a long time to arrive, but it finally came.
There is someone in the Han room!
Liu Bei led the ministers behind him and bowed deeply to Liu Bang's soul in front of him.
When Liu Bei stood up again, his eyes were focused on the group of sinners in front of him.
Walking on their knees all the way, these burly sinners were stained with mud and blood.
At this moment, they are ugly from the inside out.
Let these sinners of the Han Dynasty kneel all the way to Liu Bang's tomb in order to clearly show their crimes to Liu Bang's spirit in heaven.
And after doing this, corresponding punishments will naturally follow.
Liu Bei first pointed his finger at Liu Ye in a panic and said:
"Since you wholeheartedly want to serve Cao Ni, then I will help you.
Starting today, you, your descendants, and your fifth-generation ancestors will no longer have the surname Liu.
I will change your surname to Cao. From now on, you are no longer descendants of the Liu family, but rebels of the Cao family! "
When Liu Bei said these words, Liu Ye was stunned and stunned.
His worst fear finally happened.
Although on the surface, his surname was changed to Cao by Liu Bei, it seems that he still has a clan to rely on.
After all, the Cao family has not yet been exterminated by the Han Dynasty.
But the point is that the Cao family and the Liu family are mortal enemies. Will the Cao family obediently listen to Liu Bei and move his name into the Cao family tree?
Changing from Liu Ye to Cao Ye is actually a huge joke.
But before Liu Ye could react from this level of fear, Liu Bei's next words made Liu Ye feel even more painful.
"After your death, I will order craftsmen to cast a kneeling statue in your likeness.
The statue is made of gold and silver, which is indestructible to water and fire, and indestructible to time.
I want you to kneel in front of Taizu’s spiritual throne in all your lifetimes and repent for what you have done in this life.
I want you to be scolded by future generations in all your lifetimes and atone for what you have done in this life! "
As soon as Liu Bei said this order, not to mention Liu Ye was so frightened that his face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground like mud.
Not to mention the group of Cao family members were so sad and trembling.
Even the Han officials behind Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Liu Bei in surprise.
Many Han officials felt that Liu Bei's treatment was too severe.
For a species like Liu Ye, who is inferior to a beast, no punishment is too severe.
The reason why all the Han officials were surprised was that they thought Liu Bei's punishment was too creative.
It not only had a full deterrent effect on the current and future generations, but also perfectly relieved the resentment in the hearts of people loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Is this something your Majesty came up with on your own, or was it suggested by some minister who is proficient in punishment?
While all the ministers were curious, Mi Yang was the only one whose expression remained normal.
For Mi Yang, who is a time traveler, some suggestions are basic.
Not long after, Liu Ye also woke up from extreme panic.
Liu Ye woke up with a start, climbed all the way from the ground to Liu Bei's feet, and wanted to grab Liu Bei's clothes and ask for forgiveness.
But Liu Bei's hatred for Liu Ye has reached its peak.
Before Liu Ye could touch the corner of his clothes, Liu Bei ordered:
"Drag Cao Ye down for execution soon!"
When Liu Bei's order was issued, several wolf-like Han soldiers stepped forward and took the maggot-like Liu Ye directly out of the mourning hall.
When Liu Ye was taken away, piercing cries continued to come out of his mouth.
When Liu Ye's shrill cries fell into the ears of those Cao clan members, they were so frightened that they burst into tears.
Liu Bei could come up with such unprecedented punishment methods for his brothers, let alone them.
When Liu Bei turned his attention to the group of Cao clan members, the group of Cao clan members kowtowed and begged for mercy before Liu Bei could say anything.
Some Cao clan members even felt that kowtowing to Liu Bei and begging for mercy was not enough, so they turned around and kept begging for mercy from the Liu Bang spiritual tablet high up.
They hope that their actions will allow Liu Bei to be lenient to them.
It's a pity that they are too naive.
Now start worshiping Liu Bang’s tablet?
It's too late.
"Someone is coming."
As Liu Bei shouted, a large number of Han troops rushed into Liu Bang's mourning hall.
"Drag them all down and chop them in half!"
As soon as they heard that the punishment they received was to be cut in half, many Cao clan members were so frightened that they fainted.
They would rather be beheaded than cut in half!
The reason is simple. As members of the Cao clan, they have been pampered and privileged for many years, and most of them are tall and round.
And with such a body shape, it is extremely painful to be cut in half.
Because the current weapons are not sharp enough, ordinary people will not be killed in one blow if they are cut in half, let alone them who are full of fat around their waists?
There are unofficial records that when Chao Cuo was cut in half, he mourned for a long time before dying.
And it is almost certain that they will be cut in half many times!
In other words, they have to experience several times the pain that Chao Cuo experienced back then.
But Liu Bei's punishment for them was more than that.
“After their bodies were separated, their upper bodies were sent to a public toilet in Nanzheng.
Since they dare to kill the innocent people of Liangzhou, then I will let them be stepped on by the people of Liangzhou every day, and let them be infamy for thousands of years!
As for their lower bodies, they were all sent to Luoyang.
I want their corpses to be forever inseparable, and their souls to have no place to rely on after death! "
When Liu Bei said this punishment, even Mi Yang was surprised.
Liu Bei is more creative than him.
But when she thought about Liu Bei's love of stripping off his governor and tying him to a tree when he was young and whipping him, Mi Yang was no longer surprised.
His Majesty, although old, is still fierce enough!
