Xu Qi'an flicked his wrist, and the black gold long knife squeaked softly, shaking out a path of mournful blood on the execution platform.
His eyes slowly swept over the seven honorable men kneeling under the stage, the imperial army, and the crowd of people. He took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Today, Xu Qi'an beheaded the two thieves, not to vent his anger or personal enmity, but just to vent his anger, just to avenge his grievances for Mr. Zheng, just to tell the court"
All eyes looked at him, the scene was silent, listening silently.
Xu Qi'an's tone was sonorous and forceful, but with unspeakable depth: "If the sky has love, the sky will also grow old, and the right way in the world is vicissitudes."
Xu Qi'an glanced at the crowd present, looked at the blue sky in the distance, and among the white clouds, he seemed to see that rigid figure again, bowing towards him.
Xu Qi'an returned the gift, but didn't look up for a long time.
Master Zheng, have a good journey
?If the sky has love, the sky will be old, and the right way in the world is vicissitudes On the ridge of the roof in the distance, Huaiqing, who is dressed in white as snow, trembles, muttering in his mouth, a little crazy.
The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life, is this the belief you stick to in your heart, Xu Qi'an? Outside the crowd, a mediocre woman held her heart and heard it beating wildly.
Around Caishikou, the people gathered in groups cried out bursts of crying. They either lowered their heads, or touched their tears, and wept continuously.
"Father, why are you crying? Why are the grown-ups crying?"
In a less crowded place, the child raised his face and blinked his eyes.
The man picked up the child, put it on his shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Look at that man, remember this sentence, you must remember this sentence, and remember him too. From now on, no matter what others say, you will Don't speak ill of him."
"Who is he? Why should I speak ill of him." She asked curiously.
"He is Dabong's hero, but after today, he is likely to become a "bad guy"."
Xu Qi'an received the sheath, pulled out the carving knife nailed to the platform with a clang, and held it in the palm of his hand. The dozen or so high-quality warriors around the platform backed away in shock.
He ignored it, ignored it, stepped off the platform, and walked out step by step.
During the process, gently opened the special sachet presented by Li Miaozhen, and put the two dead souls into the bag.
The people blocking the streets, the dark crowd, consciously backed away to make way for a straight passage.
"Xu Yinluo, be respected by the old man."
An old Confucian scholar with gray hair bowed his hands.
"Xu Yinluo, be respected by the old man."
?There was no organization, no appeal, the people present bowed their hands, their movements were not neat enough, but they came from the bottom of their hearts.
On the ridge of the roof, Huaiqing overlooked this scene, and was in a daze for a moment. She is the emperor's eldest daughter, a majestic princess, and she has seen thousands of people bowing their heads, let alone thousands of people.
For example, the father of the king of a country.
However, others are only in awe of his power and the dragon robe on his body.
Only Xu Qi'an, the people respect and love him, is from the heart, not for anything else, only for him.
The imperial guards blocking the road became agitated. Looking at the young people approaching, they didn't know whether to take action or retreat.
They couldn't help but looked at the three commanders, and found that the commander and other warriors stood motionless in the distance, showing no intention of stopping them.
"Law"
The horse whined and pushed aside to get out of the way.
After walking a few hundred steps, he stopped and looked in the direction of the palace.
If you refuse to admit your mistake, then I will force you to admit your mistake
At this time, outside the Meridian Gate, the officials did not disperse, waiting patiently for the news to come back.
Moreover, if a war really breaks out in the city, it must be the safest place to stay in the palace. There are many masters in the palace, although they are not high-profile on weekdays.
The imperial palace is backed by the Forbidden Army camp, the three major battalions of Baizhan, Shenji, and Cavalry, with a total of 100,000 forbidden troops, which are directly under the emperor's army.
Finally, among military generals and nobles, there are actually many masters, such as Que Yongxiu, there are not many fifth-rank ones.
The civil and military officials whispered to each other, discussing how to end the matter, and whether the two dukes, Cao Guogong and Huguogong, were dead or alive.
But they were all a little absent-minded, and their eyes frequently looked in the direction of the palace gate.
Finally, a soldier came galloping from outside the palace holding the handle of his knife.
Wang Shoufu stepped forward, stopped the soldier, and asked in a deep voice: "p; The court stick is a common method used by the emperor to deal with officials. This is not a flimsy threat. You must know that throughout the ages, countless officials have died from the court stick and were beaten to death.
Emperor Yuan Jing believes that at this moment, the princes must realize in their hearts that once the court stick is hit, they will be beaten to death.
Civilian officials are passionate, and when they are united front, he will be afraid and patient, but if there are only four or five here and there, beating them to death can deter all officials.
?Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments came out, "Your Majesty indulged the King of Zhenbei beforehand, and then shielded King Zhenbei and Duke Huguo afterwards. Please issue an imperial edict to punish yourself."
Yuan Hong, the censor of the right capital, came out and said, "Your Majesty, please issue an edict to punish yourself."
The Book of the Ministry of Rites came out: "Your Majesty, please issue an imperial edict to punish yourself."
The Minister of the Household Department came out: "Your Majesty, please issue an imperial edict to punish yourself."
?The Minister of the Ministry of Officials came out: "Your Majesty, please issue an imperial edict to punish yourself."
The staff of the Sixth Division blushed with excitement: "Your Majesty, please punish yourself."
""
In an instant, two-thirds of the civil servants in the court appeared. Among these people, some were Wei Yuan's henchmen, some were Wang Zhenwen's henchmen, and some were people who dared not speak out before.
The scalps of the civil servants and dignitaries who did not show up were numb.
Except for the struggle for the country two hundred years ago, there has never been such a thing in the history of Dafeng. Civil officials' loyalty to the emperor is rooted in their hearts, so how dare they confront the emperor head-on.
But today, it just happened.
The Jingluan Palace was eerily quiet.
"You, you"
Sitting on the dragon chair, the blood color faded from the face of Emperor Yuan Jing. At this moment, the Ninth Five-Year Lord felt a huge humiliation.
He, the king of a country, was actually forced by a group of courtiers to issue an imperial edict.
The majesty of the majestic emperor has been trampled like this?
Emperor Yuan Jing ascended the throne as a young man. For 37 years, he has firmly held the court in his hands. Every day, the ministers are fighting to the death. He sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, just like watching a theater.
He is so lofty, highlighting the humbleness of the courtiers, like a monkey player watching a monkey show.
At this moment, this group of monkeys united to turn the world upside down?
He pointed tremblingly at the princes in the palace, his mouth trembling, and roared: "Wait, do you really think that I dare not deal with you? Come, come, drag these traitors down, and punish them with sixty sticks!"
The sound echoed in the hall, outside the Golden Luan Hall, and in the ears of the officials.
This is the anger of the king. When the emperor is angry, he will lay down millions of corpses.
Seems to be against him. Under such coercion, an even more unbelievable scene happened. Outside the hall, from Bi Dan to the officialdom, hundreds of officials knelt down at the same time and shouted:
"Your Majesty, please punish yourself."
"Your Majesty, please punish yourself."
The sound waves rolled, echoing over the palace.
Emperor Yuan Jing could hardly believe his ears. For a moment, he suspected that he had seen a hallucination.
He slowly got up and looked out of the hall. From Bidan to the square, hundreds of officials knelt down and shouted: I have committed crimes
"You, you"
He pointed to countless ministers inside and outside the hall, his fingers trembling, and roared:
"What are you guys, are you trying to force me together? Do you still have a father in your eyes, a traitor, a traitor!!"
The last four words were shouted hoarsely.
In 37 years, he has never lost his composure so much. The only times it happened were the first few days, but that was fake.
I have played with monkeys for 37 years, but today, I was tricked by monkeys.
A surge of reverse blood surged into his heart, and Emperor Yuan Jing staggered.
"Yuan Xiong, you are the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, tell me, tell these rebellious officials and thieves what they are doing."
Yuan Xiong, the censor of Zuodu, stiffened his neck, twisted a little bit, looked at Zhugong, and Zhugong was also looking at him, his eyes were as cold as iron.
GuluYuan Xiong swallowed his saliva, stepped out of the line with difficulty, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, please don't be obsessed with obsession, please, please issue an edict "
thump, thump, thump Emperor Yuan Jing staggered back, and fell down on the dragon chair, muttering: "It's reversed, it's reversed"
"I am the king of a country, how can I be wrong. You don't want me to punish myself"
Having said that, his face flushed suddenly, and he roared hoarsely, his face trembling: "Don't even think about it!!!"
At this moment, a sigh sounded from the hall, and a clear light flashed, and an old Confucian scholar with disheveled hair and an old gown appeared in the hall.
