"Execution!"
Xiao Zhan shouted coldly, and the Jin Yiwei stepped forward and tied up Zhu Qishuan and Zhu Qiquan, awakening the two people who had finished reciting the imperial edict.
Watching the executioner approaching with a ghost-headed knife, the two struggled and roared.
"Let us go, we want to see our father!"
"We were wronged, let's meet His Majesty!"
…
"Hmph, don't bother. Your father has already been beaten to death in front of the Ancestral Temple. His Majesty personally issued the decree. Is there anything wrong?"
When the two heard this, they were trembling with fear and looked at the great grandson Zhu Yujian on the side.
"Longevity, longevity, please help us beg for mercy!"
"Changshou, we are your uncles and your relatives!"
"Longevity, as long as you spare us, the throne will still be yours, and the property of our palace will be yours!"
"Eldest nephew, please, we were wrong. As long as you spare us, we can do anything!"
The miserable screams of the two princes woke up their mother who was in a daze. She looked at Zhu Yujian on the side and knelt down: "Longevity is all my fault. It was my idea. If you want to blame, just blame me! "
"As long as you let them go, I am willing to kill myself in front of you and die for your father!"
…
Ji smashed her head on the ground with a loud bang, and blood seeped out and slipped from her eyebrows.
The sound of the voice was so sad that it really made me cry.
Zhu Yujian looked at the two uncles and the nominal stepmother who were begging for mercy, clenching his fists, and a trace of unbearable color flashed in his eyes.
He was thinking about this scene all the time, killing his enemy to avenge his father, but when it came to this moment, he found that he couldn't be cruel.
But he couldn't plead for mercy because he had just read the edict to reduce his rank.
Family scandals should not be publicized, let alone something that would harm the royal family. Is it really just punishment for the emperor to kill three people in such a public place?
It is more of a shock to the people of the clan, and also to the people of the world.
As long as you dare to trample on the law, no matter who you are, no matter who you are, whether you are a relative of the emperor or a prince, I will kill them all.
He is innocent. It stands to reason that his grandfather was killed with a stick and his father is dead. As the eldest grandson, he is old enough and should be sealed immediately.
But why it took three years for the seal to be launched? The warning was already obvious.
If he dared to plead for mercy, the Tang Palace might really kill him.
After being imprisoned in the Chengfeng Department for so many years and studying the classics hard, I have already become wise, so I can naturally understand.
At this thought, Zhu Yujian closed his eyes and turned his head.
Seeing this, Xiao Yang, a member of the Jinyiwei family, breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Do it!"
drink……
drink……
The two executioners exerted their strength at the same time, raising the ghost-headed sword, and then lowered it amidst the horrified expressions of Zhu Qishuan and Zhu Qichun.
Blood spurted out and heads fell to the ground.
He rolled towards the corpse, his eyes wide open, full of reluctance.
"My son..."
"puff……"
Ji, the concubine of the King of Tang Dynasty, who was kneeling on the ground, was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood. She reached out to grab their heads, but was tightly grabbed by the Jin Yiwei.
Then he dragged it aside, holding the military stick high, one stick after another.
At first, Ji was screaming, but in the end, she was silent, staring at her two sons.
After thirty military sticks, several mouthfuls of blood spurted out. He raised his hands feebly and stretched out toward his two sons, but after several attempts, he still failed and finally fell violently.
After another dozen military sticks, Ji lost his voice, but his eyes were still looking at the heads of his two sons.
His eyes were full of heartache and regret.
"His Royal Highness Shisun, Your Majesty has confessed that these three people deserved their punishment, but after all they are members of King Fu's clan and were buried in the Tang Dynasty's clan cemetery. This matter will be handled by Nanyang Mansion.
You have one day to prepare. Tomorrow at midnight, your superiors will escort you back to the capital. In the entire palace, no items are allowed to be taken out except for daily needs.
As for the people in the palace, if they are found innocent after being investigated by the Ministry of Punishment and the Supervisory Office, they can stay or leave as they please. Do you understand what the official said? "
"Good work!"
Zhu Yujian cupped his hands towards Xiao Yang, turned around and stepped into the palace.
Xiao Yang nodded and turned to look at the people around him. Seeing the cold light in Xiao Yang's eyes, the people lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other.
"Dear fellow citizens, we have all heard what happened. The laws of the country are ruthless and will be investigated if touched.
Please send a message to everyone. Everyone who belongs to the Tang Palace and the subordinate clans will return to the palace immediately to await investigation.
Those who dare to escape will be punished by three levels of punishment;
Those who deliberately conceal it will be punished with the same crime as the person who hid it;
Anyone who knows but fails to report will be punished with thirty rods! "
After Xiao Yang finished speaking, he began to arrange inspections by his subordinates, but the people were quiet at first, and then exploded.
"What a beast! He can even persecute his own parents and children!"
"I heard that Crown Prince Zhu Qiji had a swelling on his lips. The King of Tang Dynasty was disgusted with it, and he was bewitched by his concubine, which is why it happened!"
"Is this the reason? Is it the prince's responsibility to look good or not? Isn't he the son of Prince Tang?
The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. If you don’t like them, you just don’t want to see them. Why do you want to poison them? "
"Hmph, these two county princes are so cruel. They actually killed their own brothers for the sake of the throne. If they become vassal kings, will we ordinary people still have a way to survive?"
"The needle behind the wasp's tail, the letter in the mouth of the green snake, neither of them are poisonous, but the most poisonous to women's hearts. Today I really met it!"
"It's too easy to kill them directly. People with such evil thoughts should be quartered and executed in Lingchi!"
"Shisun is also cruel, if I ask for..."
"Please, mom, I imprisoned myself for more than ten years and poisoned my father. How can I be forgiven for such a big hatred? It's not bad if I don't kill my enemies with my hands."
"That's right, if you can even endure this kind of hatred, are you still a human being?"
"But His Majesty has reduced the vassalage, which is a good thing. Without the vassal king and clan, our life will be easier!"
…
Amid the discussions among the people, similar things were happening in Prince Fu's Mansion hundreds of miles away.
Outside Prince Fu's Mansion, Princess Fu Yao looked at the edict with a normal expression. Prince Fu had already been angry with her when he left, knowing that what was supposed to come would definitely come.
"Princess, please tell us to pack our luggage. We will set off tomorrow morning. Except for a change of clothes, necessary daily necessities, and some snacks, you are not allowed to bring anything into the palace.
It’s up to you to decide whether you want to bring someone with you, we are not responsible for escorting! "
"Excuse me, Zhang Baihu, we will wait at the gate of the palace tomorrow morning!"
"Princess, you're welcome, this is..."
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Before Zhang Shun of Jinyiwei Baihu finished speaking, a roar came from the side door, and then a figure rushed over and glared at Zhang Shun.
Zhang Shun squinted his eyes and looked at it again, and said coldly: "Come here, break Prince Fu's legs!"
