Chapter 2313 The gathering of floating clouds(1/3)
"Oh, why is the wind blowing?"
The supervisor looked at the dark clouds in the sky and was shocked.
Since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has emphasized the "response between heaven and man" and used changes in nature to restrain the unfettered emperor.
Natural changes often mean that the monarch loses his virtue.
For example, solar eclipse, earthquake, heavy snow, flood...etc.
But when the edict was just announced, it was still a sunny afternoon.
However, in just a moment, dark clouds enveloped the place and strong winds blew.
The flagpole on the school field was blown up and down!
The flag of the Ming Dynasty was being blown back and forth, as if it was nonsense.
This is no ordinary trend.
The supervisor was terrified, and the executioner was even more trembling on his legs.
Countless civilians with tears in their eyes watched while being blocked by soldiers.
"Look, it's cloudy!"
"The wind is coming!"
"This, this is an injustice!" Someone suddenly said.
"There was a famous drama about Dou E's Injustice in the former Yuan Dynasty. It was said that it was snowing in the sixth month. Today, Master Yu and all of you are beheaded, and it is also snowing in the first month!"
Yu Qian and others were beheaded in February, which is the first month of the lunar calendar.
At this time of year, it was supposed to snow.
So it is not too strange that it suddenly snows on a cloudy day.
But the people all understood that Dou E's injustice was only the injustice of one family, while Yu Qian's injustice was the injustice of a whole country.
The human heart is long.
As everyone knows, Yu Qian was originally the minister of the Ministry of War. He was ordered to take charge of the defense of the Four-Nine Cities under the orders of the Empress Dowager Sun, several eunuchs who were in charge of the battle, the Prince Consort, and Emperor Jingtai.
He raised military supplies, mobilized King Qin's army, and arranged generals to repel those ferocious Oara people.
Otherwise, it will be another big robbery.
The city was besieged, and the people were the unlucky ones.
The people's homes have no food left.
The people in the city work and eat every day.
Stop talking when your hands stop.
In this case, once the city is besieged, it will be a disaster.
And it will also be the most brutal elimination.
The old, weak, sick and disabled were the first to starve to death.
Then there are the poor.
Countless people are struggling on the line of life and death.
Fortunately, all this was solved by Mr. Yu.
The people were only frightened and not disturbed by the war.
But now the person who saved them is going to be pushed to the high platform of the school grounds and killed.
The words in the imperial edict are hard to understand.
Why do you want to establish a foreign vassal state? What kind of crime is this?
So many cruel princes do not punish, so many cruel officials do not arrest, but they arrest Mr. Yu, who is innocent in both sleeves. Even a person would feel unbearable.
After all, Yu Qian's family background is really clear.
Everyone knows it, both among scholars and among the common people.
Tens of thousands of citizens from Jiucheng City gathered around.
Everyone looked at everyone on the stage with tears in their eyes.
It’s not that others don’t want to come.
But the streets these days can only accommodate so many people.
No matter how many people there are, they can't squeeze in even if they want to.
What's more, there are soldiers blocking it.
Many people know that Yu Qian was wronged.
It is said that people are short-sighted and easily deceived.
In fact, people understand their own interests best.
The same executive was killed, but why do people hate Yuan Chonghuan?
Because he was responsible for the Liao affairs and received a large amount of military pay every year, he did not block the Qing army.
Let the Qing troops run to the walls of Sijiu City and plunder everywhere.
With so much military pay, you are not allowed to follow the enemy.
Yu Qian was just a minister of the Ministry of War. He was ordered to go out of the city to fight in the field and defeated Wa Ci.
The first battle to defend Sijiu City lasted for two days.
The Wala people saw that the Ming Dynasty still had the strength to defend the city, so they withdrew after testing it.
This also shows the determination of defending the city.
If the Ming Dynasty really stretched its hips like the Northern Song Dynasty, the other party would not give up.
This protects the interests of the majority of people.
So, the common people don’t know the details, but they can still see the big picture problems.
at the same time.
The great eunuch Cao Jixiang is supervising the execution himself.
Next to him is Xu Youzhen.
These two people were the two main culprits who contributed to Yu Qian's death.
Xu Youzhen was looking at Yu Qian proudly.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful you are, Xu Youzhen, aren't you going to die at my hands in the end?"
"That day, you were so majestic when you scolded me. But now that you are dead and your whole family has to be sent to the frontier, where is your majesty?"
"Hahaha!"
He gloated and laughed.
Everyone looked at this despicable villain with disgust.
Yu Qian remained silent and didn't say a word.
Don’t be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you must leave your innocence in this world.
"The time is coming, I will send you on your way immediately!" Xu Youzhen sneered.
Everyone was filled with indignation.
But there is nothing you can do about this villain.
After all, the other party is the emperor's new favorite, and Baozong, who has just regained his throne, trusts this person.
Of course, this person's fate will not be good either.
Only four months after the "Seize the Gate Incident" began, Xu Jue failed, and in July of the same year he was demoted to a civilian and exiled to Yunnan.
This is really deserved.
However, at this time, the dark clouds were getting heavier and heavier.
The weather is getting colder.
Many people were trembling.
It is winter at this time.
But the sudden dark wind and floating clouds still surprised people.
Xu Youzhen couldn't wait any longer.
"The time has come, let's carry out the execution quickly!"
The supervisor had no choice but to throw down the token.
At this time, the executioner reluctantly raised his sword.
Many people hid their faces.
Silent.
They are not spectators.
But facing the sharp weapon, he could only watch, unable to do anything.
At this time, General Fan Guang looked up at the sky and said angrily: "The sky is clear, the sky is clear."
Suddenly, heavy snow suddenly fell!
"Ah, it's snowing in the first month. It's unjust!" A scholar shouted.
