Before Li Xian could think more, the two officials were pushed down by the Qianniu Guards and knelt on the ground.

Li Zhi, on the other hand, walked up to the two officials, looked at them condescendingly, and said, "This is Li Yi, the governor of Xuanzhou, and Cao Jin, the governor of Xuanzhou. One of these two people is from the Li family in Longxi." , one is from a poor background. One embezzled 240,000 guan, and the other embezzled 60,000 guan."

"The censors I sent down were either coerced by them using the family's reputation, or they were lured. Those who failed to do so died on the way back to the capital."

"Fortunately, I have never only used censorship to monitor the local area. Otherwise, if we let them continue, we don't know what kind of disaster it will cause to Xuanzhou."

"Xuanzhou is located on Jiangnan Road, close to Huainan Road. Although it is not as good as Suzhou and Hangzhou, it can still be regarded as a place with outstanding people. However, it is a place like this. There are complaints about being governed by these two people. The people are only one step away from rising up. .”

"Tell me, during the Taiping years, if two people like this appear, how should we deal with them?"

In the last sentence, Li Zhi turned around and asked Li Xian.

Trying hard to control his trembling hands, Li Xian cupped his hands and said: "Father, the emperor knows that these two people have governed the place like this. If they don't kill them, the people will not be angry. However, if they are executed in the capital, I'm afraid it won't be good. My son, I The suggestion is to escort the two men to Xuanzhou, show them to the public, and then behead them in the Xuanzhou capital. Only in this way can the people's hearts be lifted."

Li Xian felt that this was his last retreat. Compared with the public sentiment, the prince can educate at any time, so there is no need to use these two people as teaching tools.

After hearing Li Xian's answer, Li Zhi smiled and said, "What the prince said is true. However, in addition to the two of them, there are many officials in Xuanzhou who accept bribes and plunder people's wealth. Therefore, I just ordered Dali Temple escorted these two people to Beijing, and the remaining people were executed in Xuanzhou. Two of them were named after them."

After saying that, Li Zhi's smile suddenly turned into a cruel smile: "So, these two people are already dead, at least in the eyes of the people of Xuanzhou. Prince, do you have any other excuses?"

Seeing Li Zhi's smile, Li Xian felt like his mouth was filled with denatonium benzoate.

Even the last escape route was blocked by the emperor as if he had no idea. What else could he do?

It would be too cowardly to make excuses at this time.

Obviously, this is a process that must be experienced to become a qualified prince. It may even be a required subject.

For compulsory subjects, don’t consider failing and retaking them. If you can get full marks, you should try your best to get full marks.

Sighing secretly, Li Xian already knew what he should do without Li Zhi's instructions.

After glancing around, Li Xian walked up to a Qianniu Guard, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your Hengdao."

The guard was obviously a new soldier. He couldn't help but look at his leader and then at the saint. Seeing the leader nodding, the saint smiled without saying a word, took off his sword and handed it to the prince.

Pulling out the horizontal sword and taking a look at the sharpness of the blade, Li Xian returned the scabbard to the guard and walked towards Li Yi and Cao Jin holding the horizontal sword.

Both of them knew what they were going to face. They peed their pants for a while and struggled to get up. However, the Qianniu Guards who held them down didn't seem to exert much force before they were unable to move.

Although they can't get up, they can still move their heads this way and that.

Seeing the two people engaged in a trapped beast fight, Li Xian stood in front of them and said: "Li Yi, Cao Jin, you all know your culpability and what your consequences will be. It can be said that even if you can't bear to do it, You will eventually go to the execution ground. This is the first time I have committed a murder, so it is inevitable that I will do it wrongly. Since your fate has been determined, you might as well try to die a more pleasant death."

"I've told you, if you continue to twist, I won't be able to kill you with one knife. I'll have to chop you with a second and third knife. It's up to you how you choose."

After listening to the prince's words, both of them burst into tears. They were both dead! No matter what they choose, the result is not what they are willing to accept.

However, after struggling for a while, the two people's sanity returned a little.

Death is inevitable, but whether to die after being hacked several times or to die neatly, I am afraid there is only one choice...

Seeing that the two people slowly calmed down, Li Xian got closer to them and asked, "Are you sure you won't move around anymore?"

Li Yi and Cao Jin raised their heads with despair on their faces. In the end, they could only lower their heads and then started nodding.

Li Zhi sat on Hu's bed and watched this scene with a smile.

He found that what the prince did was simply killing people and causing heartache.

Before someone dies, you have to kill them by the neck. It’s really...

Li Yi is the governor of Xuanzhou. If you want to kill him, you have to start with Li Yi. But....here comes the problem.

Looking at the two guys with the same slovenly appearance and the same plump figure, Li Xian didn't know who was Li Yi.

In desperation, Li Xian had no choice but to ask: "You two..."

The two of them raised their heads with doubts in their eyes.

Li Zhi, who was sitting aside to watch the show, couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the prince wanted to delay the show?

Under everyone's gaze, Li Xian spoke: "Who is Li Yi?"

Hearing this question, Li Zhi burst into laughter.

But the person who was obviously Cao Jin moved to the side in ecstasy, and frantically gestured to the other person as if his head had been broken off.

People, even if they can survive for a second in desperate situations, can bring extreme joy. Although you will still have to die after the joy is over, you can do many incredible things just for such a small amount of time.

Obviously, the guy with longer hair is Li Yi.

Waving his hand to signal the guards to take Cao Jin aside, Li Xian raised the horizontal sword in his hand.

Even though his back was turned, he could still feel the emperor's blazing gaze behind him.

It's okay to have a little hiccup. If I still delay it, I'm afraid the emperor will be disappointed.

Li Yi was the first to die, but Li Yi was speechless. The guards untied the shackles for him, but he didn't know whether it was because he accepted his fate or because his cervical spine could not move. He could only lower his head, exposing his slender but dirty neck.

Looking at this section of neck, Li Xian had no choice but to walk to the left side of Li Yi, use up all his strength, and swing a knife!

There was no way to describe the sound, because Li Xian always felt that the clicking sound in his mind did not sound like the sound of a person's neck bone being chopped off.

Although the horizontal knife is sharp, if you don't have enough strength and skill to cut the neck, there is still no way to break it in one stroke.

Li Xian had tried his best with his sword, but it was only able to cut off most of Li Yi's neck. Blood gushed out, and Li Yi obviously didn't suffer much pain.

However, Li Xian could not see all this.

Because after he swung the knife with all his strength and was sure to hit, Li Xian closed his eyes, not daring to look at the scene that happened in front of him.

However, he didn't dare to look and closed his eyes, but he still couldn't escape.

The two guards, who had already accepted the emperor's order, saw that the prince had closed his eyes, so they stepped forward and forced the prince's eyelids open, and then ensured that the prince could see the scene in front of him.

"open!"

"I'll see for myself!"

Li Zhi frowned when he heard the first sentence, but after hearing the second sentence, he waved to the two guards and told them to let go of the prince.

If possible, Li Xian still refused to see this bloody scene. It's not like he has never seen movies such as "Death Comes to Me" and "Chainsaw" before. Those bloody scenes would make him sick to his stomach. As for the nightmare scene, it's not fear, but nausea.

Now that he had actually hacked a person to death with his own hands, Li Xian was sure that he would have nightmares at night.

Li Xian knew very well that he was here to receive this kind of barbaric education today. If you can find excuses not to watch it now, it will always be made up for in the future.

In this case, it is better to end the nausea early.

When I was a child, I never saw pigs being killed in the countryside. I have never felt sick after disemboweling a pig.

However, seeing the scene in front of him, Li Xian endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it and retched.

After the first sound of retching, there will be a second sound, and if there are more retchings, vomiting will become a matter of course.

Looking at the prince standing in front of the corpse and vomiting, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile.

He has also experienced this kind of education, and even the first time he didn't dare to do it himself, he was forced to kill a person by a leader of Baiqisi.

Now, the prince can do it himself and still keep looking at the scene in front of him, which is already very good.

As for vomiting....

I was so frightened that I fainted, but the prince shouldn't be harshly criticized for this.

but....

After glancing at Cao Jin who was kneeling and shivering, Li Zhi waved his hand.

So, Cao Jin was also carried by the guards to the front of the prince. They even very considerately arranged Cao Jin's position for the prince.

There wasn't much to eat at lunch, so Li Xian vomited it all in just a few bites.

Seeing Cao Jin being dragged over, he didn't know that he still had no choice.

I suppressed my nausea, took the water from the hands of a very discerning guard, and rinsed my mouth.

Looking at Cao Jin again, Li Xian suddenly lost the confidence to give him pleasure.

He glanced around and saw the execution knife in the jailer's hand, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked up to the jailer and asked for the big knife.

The execution knife is powerful and heavy, and it itself has a bonus to the damage.

Even if it couldn't cut Cao Jin cleanly, it could still split his cervical vertebrae and make him pass out.

After seeing Li Yi's death, Cao Jin was so frightened that he urinated. When he saw the sword in the prince's hand, he could only lower his head in resignation...

After using the same knife with all his strength to send Cao Jin into reincarnation, Li Xian felt that he was no longer sick, but numb. It's that simple to kill someone, especially a defenseless one.

Seeing that the prince no longer felt sick after hacking another person to death, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel worried.

Although this education is a necessary education for the successor of the emperor's professor, it is not good if it hurts the prince's mind.

With a wave of his hand, two guards took away the execution knife from the prince's hand and helped the prince over.

The imperial doctor, who had been waiting for him for a long time, immediately went up and started taking his pulse.

Gently shaking off the imperial doctor's fingers, Li Xian took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Father, don't worry, I am not too afraid. However, I am mentally and physically exhausted today, and I am afraid that I will no longer be able to receive my father's education. Can you please allow me to return to the East Palace and take a rest?"

Seeing that although the prince looked pale, he could still speak clearly, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Don't blame me. Your brother has also experienced this lesson, and I have also experienced it. This is a must. Class. As for your performance today, I am very satisfied. Forget it, you can go back to the East Palace, I will allow you to rest for three days."

After saying that, Li Zhi told the imperial doctor: "Follow the prince back to the East Palace and take good care of him. If anything happens to the prince, come and see him."

As an imperial doctor, I have heard this statement countless times.

Therefore, the imperial doctor was not too afraid and just accepted the order.

At this point, today's education has come to a successful end.

Li Yun and Zhou Quan also appeared here with the carriage from the East Palace.

Leaving them in the East Palace was obviously the emperor's special order.

Because no one around him was present, the prince had no way to rely on external help and could only rely on his own perseverance to make decisions.

After getting on the carriage, Li Xian shrank into a corner of the carriage.

In any case, he is also a normal person. He killed two people for the first time today. For a moment, he felt really mixed in his heart.

It's disgusting, exciting, and even a little damn satisfying...

All kinds of feelings were mixed together, and he didn't know what he should be thinking now.

Zhou Quan and Li Yun were both visitors, and neither of them entered the carriage to disturb the prince.

They know very well that after the first murder, a person will definitely be confused for a period of time. Although external forces can help, it still depends on personal strength to truly come out.

Regarding Li Yi and Cao Jin, Li Xian could only tell himself over and over again that both of them had a way to die.

Two hundred and forty thousand guan and 60,000 guan! You know, the majestic Queen felt a little distressed when she took out 40,000 guan at once, but these two people plundered 300,000 guan in one state.

Although I haven't seen it, it is obvious that the people of Xuanzhou are in dire straits.

These are two evil men. If they are killed, they will be killed. They will eliminate harm from the world.

Although he knew it was wrong to warn himself like this, Li Xian had no other choice now.

Asking yourself over and over again, the final result will be to chop these two people to death. In this way, the guilt in your heart will be much less.

The carriage did not move too fast. By the time it approached the gate of Chang'an City, Li Xian already felt a lot better.
