There are two reasons why Gao Yifei and others were sentenced to execution instead of Qiuhou Jue. First, corrupt officials must be severely punished. In addition, the Ming Dynasty will hold a grand ceremony in a while, and there will definitely be an amnesty at that time.
A group of people, in order to prevent these people from being exposed to the amnesty, they had to be killed first.
The grand ceremony was the canonization ceremony of the Empress Dowager. The former Empress Dowager Li had hanged herself one night. Of course, on the surface, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not say that Empress Dowager Li committed suicide, but said that she died of a sudden illness. No one took care of the funeral.
, it was just a matter of haste, and the next big thing to be done by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the promotion of the current emperor's biological mother, Princess Nangong, to the rank of empress dowager.
The beheadings were carried out in a centralized manner. The prisoners in the Jiangdi fraud case and the Shanghai anti-corruption case were executed together. Only Cheng Liangjue's death penalty was carried out separately. Who makes this person special? It is the highest level of death penalty, Lingchi. Supervisory beheading is carried out by
Liu Ziguang, who was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, had no interest in intervening in these bloody matters, and on the day of the beheading, several ladies who were traveling had also returned, so he was busy hosting a banquet to welcome them.
Zhao Wen, Peng Jingwei, Liu Mao Mao, and Li Xiangjun took this trip to many places. They walked around Shandong, and then took a boat to go deep into Sichuan. They gained a lot, and they brought a whole lot of rare and exotic animals.
As soon as the boat came back, not only that, even when eating, Mao Mao Liu had to bring her new pet---a gentle and cute giant panda with black and white all over.
Originally, this animal did not have a formal name. It was called flower bear, bamboo bear, black and white cat, etc. in Sichuan. Liu Ziguang saw it at first sight and exclaimed: Isn’t this a giant panda? That’s why the name was corrected. Everyone thought this
The name is good, let’s just call it Giant Panda from now on.
A family banquet was set up in the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion. Liu Ziguang and his daughters were having a banquet together. Sitting at the banquet were sisters Peng Jingrong and Peng Jingwei, Liu Xiaomao, Li Xiangjun, and Zhao Wen. Waiting on the side was the eldest maid Han Xueer. The women present
Either Liu Ziguang's daughter-in-law or the person who was about to become his wife, including Han Xue'er, had already been in Liu's bed. Han Xue'er had no contact with the Manchus for a long time. Perhaps the Military Aircraft Department gave up on this matter.
Chess piece, maybe they wanted to bury her deeper. Since the enemy didn't move, Liu Ziguang didn't move either.
Han Xueer's performance was very good. Everyone in the house disliked her. Peng Jingrong mentioned several times that Liu Ziguang should formally take her into the house. So what if she was a spy? Spies can do it anyway. Liu Ziguang said no but in his heart
But he was a little loose. If he didn't know that she was Fan Wencheng's daughter, he would really be willing to subdue this girl. The hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable, and he must consider the safety of his family.
Six people sat around a large round table to eat. Han Xueer was waiting on the side with a wine bottle. There was a turntable in the center of the round table, which could be turned with just a flick of the hand. There was no need to stand up to pick up dishes that were out of reach. Liu Mao was squatting next to the seat.
Cat Liu was holding a naive young giant panda, eagerly waiting for its owner to feed it. Liu Ziguang flipped a big spoon up and down, scooped up delicious dishes and fed them to the giant panda. Whenever Liu Ziguang saw the right
When he ordered a dish and wanted to reach out with his chopsticks to pick it up, the turntable would always be fiddled with by Liu Mao Mao, making it impossible for him to eat the dish.
The panda has a tricky mouth and especially likes to eat a kind of Western cake made with refined flour, coconut oil and egg cream. But all the girls like to eat cakes. With chopsticks and spoons at the same time, they were all sold out in a short time. The panda looked at Liu eagerly.
Mao Mao, as if saying that I still want to eat, Liu Mao Mao spread his hands and said: "I have no way to achieve nirvana."
Liu Ziguang saw that the giant panda's two round and dark little eyes were very cute, and said: "Looking at this panda's expectant eyes, why not just call it Panpan, it has a name. Come on, please let the kitchen go again."
Make three cakes and bring them over, and I'll give them to Panpan as a meeting gift."
Panpan is really cute, and all the girls like it very much, which can't help but arouse the jealousy of some beasts outside the door. Xiaoxiaotian and Tianpeng are not allowed to enter because they are too indecent to eat and too big.
As if they were in a hurry, Xiao Xiaotian whined and scratched the door with his paws. The dog's mouth was full of saliva. Xiao Xiaotian didn't chirp, but just kept spinning there, as if he was worried about Panpan.
He was extremely dissatisfied with stealing Liu Xiaomao's favor.
Liu Ziguang's house was very free and equal. Although his wives had different statuses and identities, they included the noble Emperor Zhao Wen, the Peng sisters who were daughters of a wealthy family, Li Xiangjun who was fished out by the prisoner's family, and
The catwoman Liu Xiaomao is of unknown origin, but they are all like sisters, with no dignity or inferiority, and no distinction like ordinary wives, concubines, concubines, and aunts. Liu Ziguang treats them equally and dotes on everyone.
, never show off the majesty of a man, never tell them about the three obediences and the four virtues, never let them become female celebrities and read the biography of martyrs, not to mention the rigid rules of never leaving the front door and never leaving the second door. Even ordinary people like Peng Jinrong have not been pregnant for a long time.
He didn't take things into consideration that he couldn't tolerate, which made Han Xueer, who had received a strict upbringing since childhood, find it strange.
Maybe he is just a country man who does not understand the laws of etiquette, but judging from his behavior at home, he does not seem to be a ignorant and vulgar person. The extra large soft spring bed in the bedroom and the "sofa" in the small living room
The soft chairs, as well as the glass greenhouse and fountain in the back garden were all designed by him. How could a rough man who only knew how to wield a knife, shoot, kill, and set fire know these things?
Whenever she thinks of this, Han Xueer feels very confused. She seems to feel that she is already a part of this family, and she has a deep desire to truly integrate into this beautiful family, rather than wearing a mask and lurking here with a mission. Whenever this time
She had to force herself to think about the tragedy of her father's murder in order to arouse her hatred for Liu Ziguang and hostility towards the Han court. But this method was becoming less and less effective. After all, Han Xueer was just a woman. In the world of women,
In my heart, when the so-called big issues of right and wrong, such as national politics and national politics, all have to give way when they encounter love, even if family affection and hatred are added, it will not make any difference. It has been nearly two years since Han Xueer or Fan Bingbing entered the Zhenwu Hou Mansion.
During this period, Liu Ziguang slept with her frequently, and he was also her first man. At the beginning, she resisted and endured the temptation, but later she gradually got used to it, and she liked doing this kind of thing with Liu Ziguang. Sometimes
She even suspected that she had really fallen in love with the enemy who killed her father. If Han Xueer had been born a few hundred years later and read what sister Zhang Ailing wrote in "Lust, Caution", maybe she would have understood, "The passage to a woman's soul is*
*" In short, she fell in love because of sex. In other words, in vulgar terms, love grows over time.
The Military Aircraft Department once contacted Han Xueer through extremely secret channels and asked her to find a way to kill Liu Ziguang or kill his family as revenge for seriously injuring Emperor Kangxi, but she shied away and said that Zhenwuhou Mansion
The guards were extremely tight and there was no way to take action. They had better wait for the right opportunity. The military intelligence system in Nanming was almost completely destroyed, leaving only Han Xueer. Since Han Xueer was unwilling to carry out the order, they had no choice but to compromise.
Fortunately, Han Xueer did not act rashly, otherwise she would have been secretly executed by now. You must know that the monitoring of her has never been relaxed.
The Ming and Qing Dynasties are now in a relationship that is neither awkward nor awkward. The temporary truce is because neither side is strong enough to completely eliminate the other. This year, the harvest in the north is good, and the situation in the southern Ming Dynasty has also been greatly improved compared to before. Huguang, Jiangxi, Taiwan, etc.
The ground has been leveled, and there are no worries. In a few months, the two countries will go to war again, and then Han Xueer's role will be truly revealed.
Liu Ziguang's call brought Han Xueer back to reality from her thoughts, "Xueer, pour some wine for the ladies."
Han Xueer hurriedly took the wine bottle to pour wine for Zhao Wen, whose glass was already empty. However, Zhao Wen, who was always known for drinking heavily, covered her jade cup and said, "I won't drink anymore."
"Aren't you a good drinker? A glass of wine is enough today." Liu Ziguang asked curiously. In order to welcome the ladies today, he opened a bottle of sparkling wine produced in the French Champagne Province. This wine is from Xiniu, Hezhou, Wanli.
Expensive exotic goods shipped from far away. In the past, Zhao Wen could blow a bottle alone.
Zhao Wen's face was a little red and she didn't say anything. Peng Jingwei stuck out her tongue and said for her: "Brother-in-law, you don't know, Sister Wen is pregnant, and you are going to be a father again."
Zhao Wen lightly hit Peng Jingwei, seemingly as punishment for revealing the secret, but her expression already acknowledged the correctness of this statement. Liu Ziguang said happily: "When did it happen?"
"It's been two months, and Sister Wen doesn't want to tell you yet, but I think it's better to let you know earlier, so as not to neglect Sister Wen." Peng Jingwei said in a lively manner, and everyone looked surprised.
Only she and Zhao Wen know this secret.
"I should have told you this earlier, why are you hiding it?" Peng Jingrong said with a happy face. It is a good thing for your husband to have more children. Although he, the eldest wife, has not become pregnant yet, it will be a big deal for other sisters to become pregnant.
happy event.
Liu Ziguang was also very happy. He was rich and powerful and didn't care about having more children. Especially Zhao Wen's child was more important. If it was a boy, he would be the crown prince of the Song Dynasty. He thought that his son would become a real prince in the future.
The emperor, how not to make him excited.
"Well, it's okay if Wen'er doesn't want to drink. Everyone else has to drink. Let's celebrate." Liu Ziguang said.
Han Xueer forced a smile, took out the champagne bottle from the ice bucket again, and filled everyone with champagne, but she was thinking in her heart: I am afraid it will be difficult for me to have such family happiness in my life. The day when the two countries go to war again, the countdown to my life will begin.
