On this day, the people got up early as usual and began their hard work.
It was almost noon and the sun was shining brightly.
The people who had been busy all morning returned home for lunch.
But at this moment, a shocking news suddenly broke the silence of the capital.
Cabinet chief minister!
Liu Dun, known as Liu Qingtian, was suddenly thrown into the prison for treason by the emperor for committing rebellion.
This news is really amazing.
The people who just heard the news couldn't believe that it was true.
How could a good official like Lord Liu plot against him?
False accusation!
Yes, this must be a false accusation!
Compared with the anger of the people, the officials in the court seemed very calm about this.
It seems that they had expected this matter.
Liu Dun has been an honest official in recent years and has offended countless powerful people.
Even when a royal family committed a crime, he was selflessly sentenced to death.
Many people in the government and the country have long wanted to kill him.
It turned out that the former emperor was in power and valued Liu Dun very much, so he lived to this day.
But unfortunately, the first emperor passed away a few months ago and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, but he did not love the people as much as his son as his last emperor.
What the new emperor especially disliked was that there was a straightforward court official in the court, who often advised him to be a wise monarch.
What's good about wise kings?
Aren't you tired?
Therefore, the new emperor was very disgusted with Liu Dun, and his attitude finally made those in the court who had long wanted Liu Dun to die to see the opportunity.
So during this period, the various voices of the court and the people accused Liu Dun suddenly became more and more.
The new emperor also contributed to the fire, often using specious accusations to hit Liu Dun, which naturally further encouraged the arrogance of some powerful people.
So just this morning, a group of people suddenly rushed into Liu Dun's mansion and dug out a large box from the backyard.
And in that box, there were actually dragon robes and various things that the emperor could use.
The matter was reported to the new emperor, which naturally caused the new emperor to be "angry", so he immediately issued an order to inject Liu Dun's family into the prison for the crime of treason.
In the following days, the new emperor ordered the court officials to interrogate Liu Dun, and completed the process at a very fast speed, deciding to Liu Dun's crime of rebellion.
The speed of conviction was as fast as the entire court wanted Liu Dun to die.
Of course, it is not that there is no one at all, and I want to protect Liu Dun.
But unfortunately, those people were already coming to warn them before they could speak.
If anyone refuses to listen to advice, he will be demoted directly from the capital, or even be sent to the Heavenly Prison for his crime.
For a moment, the court and the country were in a panic, some were gloating, and some lamented the injustice of the court.
But no matter what, Liu Dun's death penalty has no change.
The court seemed unable to wait for the death of the autumn, and Liu Dun's family was directly sentenced to beheading.
The day of execution is on the day of the crime being sentenced.
On the huge execution platform, Liu Dun and his family were forced to kneel on the ground.
Under the criminal pedestal, there are people who are angry.
Countless people shouted for Liu Dun!
Countless people petitioned for Liu Dun!
Countless people scolded the court for being stupid and incompetent!
But unfortunately, the people's strength is too weak to change what the emperor has decided.
Even if this is wrong!
A group of soldiers, with the tip of their swords aimed at the people around them, and no one was allowed to approach the execution platform.
The executioner's face was cold, but sadness appeared deep in his eyes.
Obviously, he knew that Liu Dun was innocent.
It’s a pity that others are slight and have low power, so they cannot and dare not speak out for Liu Dun for justice.
"Liu Dun, the execution is about to begin. Do you have anything else to say?"
The executioner asked in a gentle tone.
"I am worthy of heaven and earth, the people, and the court throughout my life. The only thing I owe is my family."
He looked at his wife and children next to him: "Hey, you have followed me over the years and have not enjoyed any blessings at all. Instead, you are worried every day. In the end, you will be implicated by me, I..."
"Dad, what did you say? You are honest and dedicated to the people. You are the one I admire most since childhood."
"Yes, Dad, you have been planning for the whole world all your life, and your daughter never feels involved in you."
"Dad, you said that a person will die, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Although my daughter doesn't know where Mount Tai is, she thinks you are right."
"We are born in this world and should do something for the people of this world."
Looking at the family.
Liu Dun sighed: "That sentence was not what my father said, but sir, so my father didn't know where Mount Tai was."
"Hey, before something happened, my dad had arranged the staff and escorted you to the husband's place."
"After all, something happened to my father, so I can't let you die together, but I didn't expect that their actions would be faster than I expected, so that you could not leave the capital."
"The gentleman said the royal family was ruthless, it was true!"
At this time, the time for execution finally came.
At the order of the executioner, Liu Dun and his family members were pressed on the guillotine, and executioners stood behind them.
In the palace.
The new emperor sat on the dragon throne high and looked coldly at the sky outside.
"Is the time here?" he suddenly asked.
The old eunuch next to him replied: "Report to your Majesty, you have arrived, I guess you should have executed the execution there."
"Um."
The new emperor nodded: "Big companion, do you also think I am cruel and ruthless, even a clean official like Liu Dun wants to kill?"
"Your Majesty killed Liu Dun, and there is naturally His Majesty's reason. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. As a minister, Liu Dun should be willing to bear it whether your Majesty is kind or punished, and he should not have any complaints."
The old eunuch said like a terrifying wife, and the servant's face was undoubtedly revealed.
"Oh, I can't do anything about it."
The new emperor sighed and said, "Of course I know that Liu Dun is a clean and upright official, but he is in his heart, and not the emperor."
"Although the honest officials are good, the emperor wants loyal ministers, and a minister who is only loyal to me. What's more, Liu Dun offended too many people."
"I am not my father and seem to have ascended the throne as emperor, but my prestige in the court is not stable, so I must win over those powerful people."
"For this reason, Liu Dun must die."
The new emperor suddenly laughed at himself: "It's ridiculous to say that everyone says that the emperor is supreme and the most noble person in the world, but who would have thought that after I ascended the throne, I would actually trade letters to those ministers. It's so smooth
The world's big joke."
That's right, in the view of the new emperor himself, his execution of Liu Dun today is no different from the exchange of complaints to those powerful people.
People say that the king wants his minister to die, but the minister has to die.
But he, the emperor, was so good that his subject wanted another subject to die, and he had to kill him.
Such an emperor is so frustrating.
A cold gaze appeared in the eyes of the new emperor, and even the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped a lot.
He does not like Liu Dun, but his own desire to kill is completely different from being forced to kill by others.
