As he spoke, Taifu Han suddenly stood up and struck the executioner's sword hard.
Upon seeing this, his sons and daughters-in-law also stood up in grief and indignation, and rushed towards the swords decisively.
At this time, the baby in the arms of Taifu Han's eldest daughter-in-law was crying in fear. She couldn't bear to look at the child, and she held the child and resolutely hit the executioner's knife!
In an instant, the Han family members fell on the execution platform one after another. The execution platform was littered with corpses and dripping with blood.
At this time, it started pouring rain from the sky. These heavy rains seemed to tell the injustice of the world, and even the sky felt sorry for the Han family.
Seeing the corpse on the ground, Chu Xuanchen clenched his fists in discomfort, feeling extremely sad and angry.
Taifu Han's family actually used this method to prove their innocence.
Yun Ruoyue also closed her eyes in discomfort, unable to bear to watch this scene.
The common people cried sadly one by one. They kept cursing the injustice of God and cursing Emperor Hongyuan in their hearts. They wished they could tear apart the bones of Emperor Hongyuan, Zhou Chun and other traitorous ministers, crush their bones and scatter their ashes.
Zhou Chun was also shocked when he saw all the Han family members committing suicide.
The officials looked at all this in disbelief and stood there tremblingly.
They didn't expect that Taifu Han's family would be so unafraid of death, and would die in front of them so decisively.
Seeing the angry people below, Zhou Chun was afraid that they would cause trouble, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, our mission has been completed. Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, let's return to the palace and report to the emperor!"
With that said, he glanced at Chu Xuanchen fearfully, quickly mounted his horse and slipped away quickly!
When other officials saw this, they did not dare to stay here any longer and left one after another.
Looking at the backs of these officials, Chu Xuanchen gritted his teeth. He remembered all the people who killed Taifu Han today!
He will definitely kill them and avenge Taifu Han's family.
At this time, Li Jin came up and said with tears: "My lord, don't be sad, you have tried your best! The emperor hates Taifu Han deeply. He wants to kill Taifu Han. Even if you can save Taifu Han once today, you can't save him."
the second time."
Chu Xuanchen closed his eyes with a look of self-blame, "It's all my fault that I failed to save them. It's because I came back late. If I had come back earlier, maybe I could have stopped the emperor."
Li Jin wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to kill me, I have to die. The emperor is becoming more and more cruel and unkind. Even if you are here, he will not be soft-hearted. Taifu Han was wronged. If there is a chance, we
We must overturn the verdict for him."
Chu Xuanchen sighed uncomfortably, "Well, but this case was authorized by the Emperor. Even if we can prove Taifu Han's innocence now, the Emperor will not overturn the case for him. We can only collect evidence first and wait until the time is right.
Mr. Han overturned the case."
Having said this, he said sadly: "Okay, Taishi Li, let's collect the bodies for Taifu Han and his family first!"
Li Jin nodded and said with a sad look on his face: "Well, poor Taifu Han's family, they died so miserably..."
As he spoke, he was shaking so hard that he could hardly stand.
Seeing Chu Xuanchen's actions, Li Jin was also very moved.
Now that Taifu Han had offended Emperor Hongyuan, many officials were afraid of being implicated and had already drawn a clear line with him, let alone collect his body.
But King Li was not afraid and dared to lead his troops to stop him, which shows how righteous he is.
Such character and integrity are the hope of the country and what they should follow.
-
Then, Chu Xuanchen sent people to help the Han family collect the bodies and bury the Han family.
After the burial, Chu Xuanchen, Yun Ruoyue, Li Jin, Dong Changfeng and others came to the tomb of Taifu Han's family and placed fragrant wax paper candles, fruits and flowers to worship them.
Everyone stepped forward to offer incense to Taifu Han. Yun Ruoyue placed the paper money in front of the tombstone and lit it, then offered another stick of incense to Taifu Han.
The atmosphere at the scene was very sad. The sky was filled with paper ingots, paper coins and incense ash, and there were fireworks on the ground. It looked very sad.
At this time, Chu Xuanchen offered a stick of incense for Taifu Han and said: "Taifu Han, I heard that you liked to eat pineapple cakes very much when you were alive. I asked them to prepare a lot for you. In addition, there are a lot of delicious food and wine here.
, I toast you and hope you have a good journey."
Chu Xuanchen said as he took a wine glass filled with wine from Mo Li's hand.
Then, he walked to the tomb, held the cup in both hands, and poured the wine in his hand on the tomb.
In this way, it was poured three times in a row before it was finished.
Looking at the desolate new tombs, Yun Ruoyue said: "Taifu Han, you have a good journey. Don't worry, we will visit you often in the future."
As she said that, she looked at these graves and said sadly: "Why is the emperor so cruel? Could it be that just because he is the emperor, he can destroy the entire Han family at will? This is really cruel! Human life is worthless in his eyes.
!”
As a person who grew up in the 21st century, she couldn't accept this kind of thing.
This is too cruel and crude.
Li Jin said: "Princess, because the emperor is the supreme ruler of Chu, he can kill whoever he wants. This time because Taifu Han remonstrated with him, he killed the entire Han family. If this continues, whoever dares to say anything to him again
The truth?"
Dong Changfeng said: "The emperor is now cruel and ignorant, and implements tyranny. If it continues, more people will die in vain."
Yun Ruoyue said nervously: "Are we just going to let the emperor continue like this? If this continues, the butcher's knife will hit you and me. We should stop the emperor from continuing to kill, so as to save more people."
Li Jin looked at Chu Xuanchen and said: "The emperor is obsessed with elixirs and is so stupid that he can no longer listen to any dissuasion. If we rely on him, our Chu country will have no future. The only person our Chu country can rely on now is King Li."
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyes slightly but did not speak.
Dong Changfeng said: "Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Li is concerned about the country and the people, has a heart for the world, is generous and tolerant, and has a benevolent heart. Only by letting him be in power can the people of Chu have a future."
Li Jin said: "Moreover, King Li is the son of the late emperor. Chu should have been King Li. He is the orthodox bloodline of the Chu family."
Having said this, he looked at Chu Xuanchen and said seriously: "Your Highness Prince Li, I used to remain neutral on everything in order to protect myself, so that I could survive to this day. I and Taifu Han thought that as long as they swept away the snow in front of each other,
If you don't care about other people's affairs, you will have peace of mind. Now that I see Taifu Han's fate, I know that all this is in vain."
"Now I have decided to support you and assist you. I hope you can be in power. Only if you become the emperor can the country have hope and save everyone."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue were slightly shocked.
Chu Xuanchen did not expect that Taishi Li would choose to support him.
