Wang Chengen was shocked, knowing that something bad was going to happen, and that these two emperors were not something he could handle. But in the face of the emperor's fury, he wisely did not choose to defend himself, nor did he complain, but remained silent.
Knock to the ground again for a long time, keeping your forehead close to the ground without raising it.
"I ask you, are you happy to be fooled by the Second Emperor?" Because of his rage, Chongzhen's hands shook slightly. He looked at the old slave with sharp eyes and gritted his teeth.
Wang Chengen still didn't dare to raise his head. He lay there and kowtowed a few more times, saying: "Your Majesty, even if I die, I don't dare! Even if I die, I don't dare!"
Besides, he said nothing.
"I won't dare even to death!..."[
Chongzhen was so angry that he stood up from his throne, stamped his feet, and cursed: "You old slave won't cry until you see the coffin. You want me to list all the crimes you have committed. You
Have you just realized your guilt?"
After hearing what the emperor said, Wang Chengen was startled again. He couldn't help but think of He Ru Chong who had just come in. He instantly knew what had happened. He straightened his lying waist slightly and wanted to raise his head to argue, but
With just a thought, he quickly lay down on his waist again, then knocked his head loudly, and said to Chongzhen with a crying voice: "I really don't know what I have done, but if the emperor feels that I have been guilty,
Your Majesty, if you failed in your mission, please punish me, and I will suffer the consequences."
"Foreign officials from the DPRK participate in your party for personal gain. They are loyal to me on the surface but bully me secretly. They often interfere in politics and accept bribes wantonly. Every time a foreign official comes to Beijing, they must show their respect to you, Wang Chengen. You can admit this!" Chongzhen!
His anger was still high and his voice was still stern, but to Wang Chengen's ears, it seemed like he was in a different situation. He calmed down a little, then lay there in great pain and said: "Your Majesty, you know that this old slave
Yes, do you think this old slave really has the courage to do such a deceiving thing?"
Wang Chengen's answer was very strange. He actually asked Chongzhen about it. This question stunned Chongzhen for a few seconds before he realized what he was doing.
Me! You are such a sharp-tongued old slave, I was almost stopped by you! The thing about Shi Dayong is the best example. I asked you to do something, but you kept it from me and refused to do it. This is not bullying the emperor!
If you don’t do what I personally asked you to do, let alone anything else! Do you, an old slave, really want to imitate that Wei Yi!!”
After Wang Chengen heard this, he suddenly raised his head and said: "The emperor personally decided whether the internal ministers should supervise the army despite the pressure from the foreign court. Shi Dayong's matter involves the internal ministers. I dare to ask the emperor if he really handles this matter.
Well, what does the foreign court think of the emperor?"
"you!…"
Chongzhen didn't expect that Wang Chengen would dare to question him face to face, and his face turned red with anger. However, the waving hand stopped in mid-air, and the words that came to his mouth stopped. He stared motionlessly.
By Wang Chengen.
After a while, he slapped the case again and said, "Slave dog, you appear to be loyal, but secretly you are relying on my power to dominate and dominate. You are arrogant! Slave dog, you are familiar with the law. Tell yourself what you should do.
crime?"
Wang Chengen sighed secretly and kowtowed: "Go back to the emperor, this old slave deserves death."
Chongzhen scolded: "Death is easy for you! I want you to suffer enough punishment before you die. Moreover, I want you to come up with a way to treat you!"
Wang Chengen was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave is a eunuch. According to the rules of the inner court, the old slave must accept the imperial staff in public until the old slave's despicable bones are broken and thrown into the wasteland to feed the dogs."
After hearing Wang Chengen's words, Chongzhen was stunned. He looked at the old slave who had been with him for nearly ten years with complex eyes. After a moment, he opened his mouth lightly and uttered two words: "Accurate performance!"
"Thank you, old slave!"
Wang Chengen lowered his gray head again and kowtowed to the ground.
"Get out!" Chongzhen waved his hand impatiently.
"According to the order!"
Wang Chengen turned around, still using all four legs, and crawled towards the palace door like an old dog. Chongzhen watched Wang Chengen's retreating back and opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out.

At the palace gate, Zhao Quan and several other eunuchs on duty were stunned.
…………
In the Li Jian, Wang Chengen was sitting on a chair in the courtyard. Although he was about to die, his expression was still calm and composed, without losing the demeanor of a great eunuch. Beside him, there was a master of Li and a pen, and the Zhou Dynasty led his seventeen or eight disciples to kneel down.
The whole place was full of weeping words. Sitting on another chair next to him was the eunuch Wang Dehua, who also had a sad look on his face. He looked at Wang Chengen and didn't know what to say. After Wang De's incarnation, there was Lu An, the master of ceremony and writing, standing there.
Shi Feng and others, and two other eunuchs.
Four execution eunuchs, each with a red and black jujube stick, came forward one after another. The leader bowed and bowed: "I pay my respects to the prince." He then bowed to Wang Dehua and said, "I have met our ancestors!"
Wang Dehua did not speak and nodded, while Wang Chengen nodded, and then said to the eunuch who was leading the execution: "Serve me with your heart later, and make me happy."
"Father-in-law..."
The four execution eunuchs choked and stood up one by one, then stood around Wang Chengen with their sticks in hand.
Wang Cheng'en stood up and spread his arms without saying a word. Seeing this, Zhou Chao and other eunuchs immediately came forward to beat his waist and pinch his legs to stimulate his blood circulation. Wang Dehua saw him at the side and couldn't help but sigh to himself again.
After being squeezed by his disciples for a while, Wang Chengen raised his head and closed his eyes, calling out: "Zhou Dynasty."
"My son is here."
The Zhou Dynasty was Wang Chengen's most proud disciple, a leader in the internal study hall, and he was listed as the Secretary of Li Bingbi before he reached thirty. Although he was only twelve years younger than Wang Chengen, he worshiped Wang Chengen as his son.
"Why are these children here to watch the execution?" Wang Chengen pointed at the only twenty or thirty people in the courtyard and said with a smile: "I am an old man who came here with the emperor, and was ranked by the Chief of Ceremonies. Now
When I am being tortured, everyone in the inner court should come and watch, so that I can avoid past mistakes and avoid future mistakes. From now on, I will live with my tail between my legs!"
"Grandpa..."
Zhou Chao was crying and speechless.
When Wang Dehua saw this, he said: "My lord, it is none of his business. Our family has ordered the eunuchs to perform their duties and not leave their posts without permission."
"The ancestors are interested." Wang Cheng'en forced a smile at Wang Dehua, thought for a moment, and then solemnly told Zhou Chao: "Pass this down, all the eunuchs and servants who are not on duty should come here to watch me being tortured."
"My lord, why is this necessary?" Wang Dehua was a little surprised.
Wang Chengen smiled and shook his head at him. When Wang Dehua saw this, he sighed and turned his back. Zhou Chaonai responded and turned to signal to his eunuchs. The young eunuchs rushed around to deliver orders.
Wang Chengen opened his eyes and looked at the sky, and said in a calm tone: "This man is about to die. There is nothing to say, but something happened to me. It hurts so much. Oh, someone, bring me some tea."
Come."
Before he finished speaking, a young eunuch brought a jade tray. There was a teapot and a teacup on the tray, which was brewed with Qingming Qian Longjing. Zhou Chao hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the pot, and quickly poured tea for Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen took it.
He passed the teacup, drank it slowly, and put it down. Zhou Chao quickly filled it up again, and Wang Chengen drank it slowly...
At this time, the eunuchs in the palace, big and small, had come from all directions to the Chief of Ceremonies. They were whispering to each other. More and more eunuchs gathered together. When they arrived at the courtyard gate, they suddenly all stopped making noise and walked into the courtyard one by one.
The eunuchs, big and small, bowed their heads and knelt down without saying a word. The whole courtyard was gradually filled with kneeling eunuchs. Wang Chengen had finished the last cup of tea. He put down the teacup and picked up the teapot, drinking all the remaining tea in the pot mouth to mouth.
.[
After finishing the drink, Wang Chengen smacked his tongue, as if savoring the fragrance of Longjing. Then he said: "Lu Si, make another pot of Longjing. After the punishment, if I am alive - drink. If I am dead -
Just pour it on me." Lu Si choked with sobs, and some of the eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground also sobbed.
With a loud bang, Wang Chengen smashed the tea cup on the ground and smashed it into pieces. Then, he calmly lifted his robe to his waist, tied it, knelt on the felt with a pop, and shouted with a hoarse throat:
"According to the decree, Wang Cheng'en, the dog slave who bullied the emperor and tyrannized his power, will be beaten with sticks in front of everyone until his bones are broken, and then thrown into the wilderness to feed the dogs! Children, let's fight!..."
After calling, Wang Chengen threw himself on the carpet and waited motionless for the wooden stick to fall. But after waiting for a long time, the eunuch holding the stick did not dare to make a move. They looked at Wang Chengen on the ground for a while, and at the side next to him.
Wang Dehua, after a while, looked at Zhou Chao and other ministers Li Bingbi. He looked around, but no one dared to take action.
"What, are you trying to resist the decree? If you want to live, don't give me a beating!" Wang Chengen turned his head and stared back at the eunuch holding the staff, and shouted sternly.
The execution eunuch still did not dare to move. They looked towards Wang Dehua for help. Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen looked at each other and raised their hands slightly.
The leading eunuch holding the stick finally plucked up the courage and raised the wooden stick. He raised it high but gently lowered it, hitting Wang Chengen. The sound was loud, but the force that fell on Wang Chengen was much smaller.
It's almost like scratching an itch, but Wang Cheng'en can't be beat to death.
Wang Chengen noticed something was wrong, turned his head and glared at the leading eunuch holding the staff and said: "Qi Er, I've said something ugly before. If you guys hide your secrets under the stick, I will tear you into eight pieces when I wake up."
!...Fight! Let go and fight! If you can’t kill us, the Emperor will not spare you. If you want to survive, use all your strength!”
"As you command!"
Qi Er gritted his teeth and raised the stick high and then brought it down heavily. The other eunuch also swung the stick and brought it down heavily. The two fell together, and the stick hit Wang Chengen alternately. The other two eunuchs holding the stick counted alternately: "One...two"
…three…"
Every time the stick fell, Wang Chengen groaned in pain, but he kept saying: "Okay, okay!" He sounded very heroic.
Under the blow of the cane, blood immediately oozed from Wang Chengen's legs. He was also forty years old. He could not withstand such a beating, even a strong man could not bear it.
Gradually, Wang Chengen fell into coma from the pain. All around him, all the eunuchs were frightened. They wanted to see but didn't dare to see. They didn't dare to see but wanted to see. (First post:)
