The soldiers who carried out the execution showed no mercy.
The stick touches the flesh, and the stick touches the blood.
After thirty sticks, the original color of the clothes on Li Chengqian's back could no longer be seen.
It was covered with blood marks from top to bottom.
On the stage, Gao Zhixing and others could see clearly, and people couldn't help but become nervous.
Duan Zhixuan, who served as prison officer together with Gao Zhixing, was covered in cold sweat at the moment.
Duan Zhixuan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"To the end."
"I've been beaten more than thirty times now."
Duan Zhixuan tentatively said: "How about you go and tell His Majesty, that's almost enough."
"Your Majesty's decree is yours."
"General Duan is planning to make me disobey orders?"
Gao Zhixing took a deep breath and said: "Since we have started now, we cannot stop."
"But His Highness's current situation is not very good."
Duan Zhixuan's face was full of embarrassment: "If we really beat His Highness the Crown Prince, we probably won't be able to bear it."
"If you break it, it's your Majesty's business."
"We are prison officers, what does it have to do with us?"
Gao Zhixing said he didn't care.
But his heart was actually almost on fire.
He also felt sorry for Li Chengqian and didn't want Li Chengqian to be beaten.
But what can he do?
at this point.
He actually saw it too.
These things are actually the conspiracy of those people.
They just want to force Li Chengqian to stand up and cause trouble in Chang'an City.
As for what they will do next, you can guess it with your toes.
It's nothing more than wanting to make use of the topic.
As a result, the people of Chang'an City and even the whole world were disappointed with the imperial court.
As long as the people are disappointed with the court, their opportunity will come.
But they are smart.
Li Chengqian and Li Shimin are also not bad.
When Li You told everything, Li Shimin guessed what Li Chengqian was thinking.
Place With this punishment, Li Chengqian will have to accept it no matter what.
Because only in this way can he keep his position as prince while calming the public's anger.
At this moment.
There was silence.
There was only the crackling sound of sticks hitting flesh.
At this moment.
The skirt of Li Chengqian's back was completely torn.
Without any hesitation, he forced himself to stand up and completely tore his clothes into pieces.
Then, he lay on the execution platform again and shouted: "Continue!"
The two Shenwu Army soldiers in charge of the execution looked at each other.
Looking at Li Chengqian's scarred and bloody back, both of their eyes were red.
This is the prince.
In their eyes, he is the arrogant prince who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Looking at ancient and modern times, is there anyone who can be like him?
Of course the people nearby also saw this.
Many people even choked up on the spot.
What Li Chengqian has done for the Tang Dynasty in these years is obvious to the people.
Although he has never announced to the public how much suffering he has endured and how many injuries he has suffered.
But the common people are not fools, let alone blind.
How could they not know how dangerous the battlefield is?
The scars on Li Chengqian's back at this moment are the best proof of his achievements.
"We have all seen His Royal Highness's heart, there is no need to be punished anymore!"
"His Royal Highness, it's already fifty sticks, which is almost enough. We all understand what you mean!"
"We all know His Highness is in trouble. Please stop fighting. Don't hit His Highness."
At this moment, all the people also spoke one after another, pleading to the two Shenwu Army who were executing the execution.
However.
However, Li Chengqian endured the burning pain in his back and said in a deep voice: "A hundred sticks means a hundred sticks. Do you two want to resist the decree?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Both of them had a look of embarrassment on their faces.
"I said go ahead!"
Li Chengqian didn't look at the two of them again and shouted: "Hurry up!"
Li Chengqian suffered from cold sweat on his head.
The soldiers of the Shenwu Army who were executing the execution had more cold sweat on their faces than him.
Big beads of sweat dripped down their cheeks.
at last.
The two looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and continued to raise the stick and hit Li Chengqian on the back.
At this moment, almost every time the stick was struck, a bloody sword flew into the air.
The skin on Li Chengqian's back was almost completely torn to pieces, and the whole back was dripping with blood, and he couldn't pick out a good piece of meat.
Li Shimin, who was standing in a teahouse opposite Caishikou and watched, couldn't stand it anymore.
His face was extremely gloomy, he turned around and wanted to walk under the city wall.
But before he could take two steps, he was grabbed by Changsun Wuji.
"His Majesty!"
Changsun Wuji advised: "Since you have made a decision, you can't give up halfway!"
"Decisions are decisions."
Li Shimin said: "But I can never watch my son being beaten to death!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is blessed with good fortune and will be fine."
"And look at the people, they no longer hold grudges against the prince."
"On the contrary, they all stood up to intercede for the prince at this time, which means that his majesty's plan was successful."
"If His Majesty goes out to stop it now, it will definitely complicate this matter."
Changsun Wuji said earnestly: "In that case, the dozens of sticks His Highness the Prince received before will be in vain."
Of course Li Shimin also knew this.
But looking at Li Chengqian's small figure and the big stick waving on him.
When the stick hit Li Chengqian, he felt no different from the stick hitting himself.
Next.
Li Shimin couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
On stage.
After eighty sticks.
Behind Li Chengqian's back What came off had stained his pants red.
The flesh on his back has been completely beaten to pieces.
But he never said a word from beginning to end.
This kind of endurance and endurance is enough to amaze and admire everyone present.
The people in the audience fell to their knees.
In the morning, I heard that Li Chengqian was leading a massacre in the city with his soldiers.
They are scared and angry, fearing that something will happen to them.
Later, when Li Chengqian was taken away by Li Shimin, they were a little angry again.
The nobles have been above the common people since ancient times, and as the son of the emperor, they should be more noble.
So, everyone feels that.
This matter will be left unresolved, and the royal family will eventually suppress the matter.
Although the people didn't say much about it, perhaps some trouble would arise.
But in my heart, I felt a little disgusted with the court and the royal family.
But now.
As the initiator and culprit of everything.
Li Chengqian was punished here.
Although, there is no killing to pay for life.
But not everyone can bear those hundred sticks.
It can be said that these one hundred sticks have completely solved the knot in the hearts of the people.
At the same time, it also reminded the people of the goodness of Li Chengqian and the glory that Li Chengqian brought to them.
this moment.
Many people asked Gao Zhixing and others to bypass Li Chengqian.
However.
Li Chengqian's punishment has not stopped.
I still insist on finishing the last twenty sticks.
At this time, Li Chengqian could no longer hold on.
His knees softened and he knelt directly on the ground.
The two Shenwu Army soldiers subconsciously wanted to come over and help him, but they were pushed away by Li Chengqian.
"I, Li Chengqian, will definitely remember what I did today."
He knelt down on one knee and faced the people present: "I hope you won't lose trust in the imperial court because of this."
"I hope everyone will believe that our Tang Dynasty court will always care about the people."
