Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. If the old emperor had this mentality, he would be relieved. At least he would not feel any emotion after seeing the mother and son, or he would have pity for his son and be soft-hearted. In that case, the Ninth Prince's hard work
But it was all in vain.
Fortunately, Emperor Tianwu's hatred for these two people has surpassed everything, such as family ties and love. Under this kind of hatred, there is no need to talk about anything. I heard Emperor Tianwu say: "They are locked up here and suffering, even if they want to come."
It's very lonely. Xiao Yuanzi, go tell my other sons and the concubines in the harem and let them line up to come in and visit. If such a grand occasion is not shown in front of others, wouldn't it be a waste of Ming'er and Aheng's time?
After that, he glanced at Mrs. Liu again and said with disgust: "When everyone has finished visiting, I will send this woman to the rack and I will give her a beheading."
The word "hanging" almost frightened Mrs. Liu to death. Execution! In the past, even if the concubines in the palace made the most serious mistakes, they would only be given three feet of white silk or a glass of poisonous wine, or if they were really disobedient, they would be punished.
Eunuch Dali was directly strangled to death, but I have never heard of anyone being sentenced to death. In fact, not only the concubines, but also in the Dashun Penal Code, although the death penalty existed, few people suffered such a crime.
The method of execution is also called cutting off the bones and separating the flesh. It is said that there is a very special method, that is, the living person is tied up, and the executioner uses a sharply sharpened blade to cut off the flesh of the criminal one by one. People who are executed often
The crime is serious, and the law enforcers believe that even death cannot atone for the crime, so they must be punished in this way. Not to mention, the most terrifying thing about execution is that during the execution, the prisoner cannot die. From the first
Starting with the knife, it takes a total of a thousand cuts, and it is not until the last knife that the person dies.
When Mrs. Liu thought of this, she was about to hit the wall on the spot, but was stopped by the guards. Emperor Tianwu had a decree: "If she dies early, none of you will survive."
Finally, everything that needed to be seen was seen, and the palace people carried Emperor Tianwu out of the death row. On the way to Zhaohe Hall, Emperor Tianwu said to Zhang Yuan: "They say that the royal family has no family ties. I didn't believe it before.
I want to treat these sons well and not let them feel cold. But now I know that the royal family really has no family affection! Just because you treat them well does not mean that they can treat you well. You treat them as your sons.
But they don't regard you as their father. For the sake of the throne, they can harm me so much. What's the use of having such a son?"
Zhang Yuan quickly persuaded him and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Not all princes are like this. It's just the eighth prince! The former third child doesn't count."
"Yes." Emperor Tianwu nodded, "If you think of it this way, it's okay. At least the other brats are still fine." That's what he said, but he was still unhappy and lack of energy, even facing the sun above his head.
He was irritated. Even if someone in the palace was holding an umbrella, he felt that the sun could shine directly in through the umbrella. He couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hands, and hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, I don't want to be exposed to the sun."
sun."
Due to Emperor Tianwu's order, the princes and concubines had to line up to go to the death row to see the tragic situation of the eighth prince and the Liu family. The princes were okay when they arrived, and they sighed for a while after seeing it. But the concubines were not so lucky.
One by one, they were so nauseous that they almost had to be carried out of the prison. They were also frightened. At first, they were so focused on fawning over Mrs. Liu, but they didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Liu and the Eighth Prince would fall into the trap.
Now the end.
A wise person said: "Who has ever had a good ending when they went against the Ninth Prince?"
The sixth prince, Xuan Tianfeng, was responsible for supervising the country and was the last of the princes to go to the death row. He did not go alone. He also specially brought Li Guiren out from the Jingsi Palace and went to the death row with him.
Go over there.
Li Guiren is a very neurotic person, with extreme ideas, and it is easy to get into trouble. During these days, she was locked in the Jingsi Palace. Sometimes she would cry, sometimes she would laugh, and sometimes she would think of her who was sent to death row.
My sister would hate it. Sometimes when she thought of her son sitting on the dragon throne in charge of overseeing the country, she felt that life was full of hope. When the sixth prince came to pick her up, she was talking to her maid Zuo'er about what she would do when she became the queen mother.
However, as soon as she heard that her son was coming to pick her up to see the Eighth Prince, she became unhappy again.
But what can she do if she doesn't like it? This is the emperor's decree, and she cannot be tolerated.
Li Guiren followed the Sixth Prince and thought of going to see those two people. She didn't know how to face them for a moment. They were her sister and nephew, and they were also the two people she hated the most in her heart. They had such dual identities.
Man, how would she feel when she saw them again?
Li Guiren had been thinking wildly in her mind until she arrived in front of the death cell, and then she realized that there were many concubines waiting at the cell door. And those who came out were all pale-faced, vomiting, and some even
The man lost control of his mind and shouted crazily - "It's terrible! It's terrible! The eighth prince is a devil, he is going to die!"
She was a little afraid and paused, unwilling to go any further. In her ears, she could still hear the concubines waiting outside whispering. Someone said: "I heard Concubine Hua say yesterday that Mrs. Liu has gone crazy and seeks death every day.
But being guarded by the guards, you won’t die.”
Someone else said: "The eighth prince is even worse. His butt is completely rotten. He is worse than a eunuch."
"I heard that the environment in the death row is particularly bad. The prisoners eat, drink, and defecate in the same cell. The smell can make people vomit on the spot."
"The emperor sentenced Liu to beheaded. She didn't want to suffer such a punishment. She always wanted to die, but unfortunately she couldn't die. Even a hunger strike was useless, because Princess Yu would come to the palace every day to give her some kind of injection.
After the injection, the person will not die even if he does not eat."
Li Guiren's body was trembling and her teeth were chattering. She wanted to tell Xuan Tianfeng not to go in, but the person walking in front had no intention of stopping. The palace attendants who followed her were still reminding her from time to time.
She said: "Your Highness, hurry up and follow us. Your Highness is already a little far away."
The Sixth Prince now holds the post of superintendent of the country, and his status is basically the same as that of the Crown Prince. These concubines are still a little in awe when they see him, and they are even wary of Li Li. Regardless of whether she is Concubine Li or a noble, she is the Sixth Prince's.
His biological mother, and this sixth prince is different from the eighth prince. He is an elegant scholar, the idol of the world's literati and elegant guests, and a reliable prince. During this period, he was in charge of supervising the country, and he also took the court for several months.
The evil atmosphere was brought under control, and the achievements were gratifying. Therefore, no one dared to underestimate the Sixth Prince. When they saw him coming, they all took a few steps back to make way for him to come out.
Xuan Tianfeng still has a bookish temperament. This kind of temperament is innate, just like Xuan Tianhua's immortal aura, it cannot be wiped away. Even if he looks serious at this moment and wears the light yellow robe of a prisoner's prince.
, under the heavy pressure of nobility, he could not suppress the bookish atmosphere.
He took Li Guiren into the death row. When the guard saw that the sixth prince had arrived, he understood what was going on and handed Li Guiren one of the sachets he had prepared in advance. He also picked the one with the strongest fragrance so that she could cover it in her mouth.
Nose, resist the smell of death row.
Although Yuan Guiren had made a certain degree of psychological preparation, she even adjusted her mentality when she heard people outside the prison door talking about the situation inside. She thought that even if she couldn't face it normally, she wouldn't be frightened.
She had to cry and vomit like those people. But when she really saw the Eighth Prince and Liu, all the psychological defenses she had put up before collapsed in an instant, so that her legs became weak, and if it weren't for two
Supported by a powerful eunuch, she was about to sit on the ground.
The sixth prince turned around, helped his mother with his own hands, then pointed at the eighth prince and said to her: "Mother, do you think he is miserable like this? Is it scary?"
Li Guiren nodded blankly and said tremblingly: "Feng'er, take a look, let's go out quickly!"
Xuan Tianfeng shook his head and said, "Mom, you have to take a closer look, and think about it while you're at it. To tell you the truth, my son, this tragic situation was caused by Princess Yu, because he once sent someone who knew something to go to Fengfeng at night."
Zi Rui slept with him in order to make the child who was less than ten years old lose his virginity at a young age. Princess Yu was angered, so she turned this sin on him. You see,
This is the consequence of going against them. Mother doesn’t want me to be the one imprisoned here one day, right?”
"How could it be you? How could it be you?" Li Guiren said loudly: "Don't you have a very good relationship? You have also helped her, how could she harm you?" 8☆8☆$
"I helped her out of love, but everyone has their own limits. Feng Yuheng's limit is her ninth brother. If you touch her again and again, there is no guarantee that she will settle the score.
On my head. Mother, if you really love me, live a good life and stop thinking about those ghosts and ghosts." As he spoke, he pointed to Ms. Liu in the cell on the other side, and then said: "Look at her.
, you are sisters. The Liu family has close contact with the poisonous family of ancient Shu. This matter has been exposed. If your son does not take the first step to remove you as a concubine and send you to the Jingsi Palace, I am afraid that your mother will not be able to escape the misery.
His fate. After all... that Gu Master was transported into the palace through your hands."
Li Guiren shuddered, it turned out that her son knew everything, it turned out that everything she did could not escape the eyes of others! She thought she was unaware of it, could it be that... could it really harm her son?
"You are already the prince of the prison country, you don't need...you don't need to be afraid of them, right?" Li Guiren was making her final struggle.
"I'm just a prisoner, not a prince. What's more, even if they are princes, they are also my brothers. All I can do to them is to protect them, and it is absolutely impossible to harm them. Mother, this is the principle of a son, please don't be wanton.
destroy."
After he finished speaking, he signaled the palace servants to send Lady Li out, while he stayed in the cell for a while. Looking at Lao Ba and Liu, even though he felt extremely unbearable in his heart, he had to admit that all of this was...
They brought the blame upon themselves. He had just frightened Mr. Li, and he believed that no matter what Mr. Li did, Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming would not blame him for this. But if that day comes, even if they don't blame him,
, how could he have the face to face those two people again?
If a prince who oversees the country can't take care of his own mother, how can he take care of the world?
Ten days later, the former imperial concubine Liu was executed by a thousand cuts...
