Six hundred and sixteenth chapter ruthless character
Dong Xuan beat Zhang Fan to death in front of Liu Huang, and almost fainted Liu Huang on the spot. Now Liu Huang quit. She couldn't cure Dong Xuan, but she could find someone to cure Dong Xuan.
Her younger brother Liu Xiu.
Liu Huang went directly to the palace and went to complain to Liu Xiu. At this time, Liu Huang's hair was messed up, his clothes were messed up, tears were streaming down his face, and his eyes were as red as two small peaches.
Liu Xiu was startled when he saw the eldest sister's appearance. He asked with confusion and nervousness: "Eldest sister, what are you doing?"
"Axiu, sister can't live!" Liu Huang didn't care about her princess image anymore, sat down on the ground, patted her thighs, and cried loudly. The servants present were all dumbfounded, and they were all stunned for a while.
.
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She hurriedly stepped forward, took Liu Huang's arm, lifted the eldest sister up from the ground, and asked: "Eldest sister, what happened?"
Liu Huang didn't know whether he was angry with Dong Xuan or frightened by Dong Xuan. He was a little incoherent and mentally disturbed.
She said erratically: "Lawless! He...he beat Zhang Fan to death right in front of me. He...he deserves death! His crime is unforgivable...he he...
…”
Liu Xiu heard Monk Zhang Er scratching his head. Who is he? Who is Zhang Fan? Liu Xiu supported the eldest sister and helped her sit up on the couch.
Then he looked at the maid beside Liu Huang and asked: "What happened? Tell me clearly! Who beat whom to death?"
The personal maid next to Liu Huang was in her early thirties, eloquent, and relatively calm at this time. She told Liu Xiu the cause and effect of the incident with added detail.
According to what the maid said, Zhang Fan clearly heard that someone was deliberately spreading rumors, fabricating an affair between the princess and him, and deliberately ruining the princess' reputation.
Zhang Fan was so angry that he killed the other party. Afterwards, Zhang Fan returned to the princess's house and confessed to the princess. The princess also severely punished him for this matter.
However, Dong Xuan, the commander of Luoyang, was unwilling to give up on the matter and wanted to kill Zhang Fan.
This time the princess took Zhang Fan out, but she was stopped by Dong Xuan. He forcibly pulled Zhang Fan out of the carriage and beat Zhang Fan to death in front of the princess. The princess was so frightened that she was killed on the spot.
Fainted to death...
The maid's words were half true and half false, but the general main line was almost the same process. After hearing this, Liu Xiu understood what had happened.
He comforted Liu Huang with kind words, and asked the palace maid to take Liu Huang to the harem to rest. He also arranged for an imperial doctor to examine Liu Huang's health.
After that, he ordered Zhang Kun to immediately summon Dong Xuan into the palace.
Dong Xuan is straightforward and ruthless, but he is not a fool.
He knew very well in his heart that this time he had offended the eldest princess of Huyang severely. With the eldest princess's temperament, she would never let it go and would definitely report her scandal to the emperor.
Liu Huang came to the palace first, Dong Xuan followed closely, and also came to the palace. Now he is waiting outside the palace gate for His Majesty to summon him!
As soon as Zhang Kun walked out of the palace gate, he looked up and couldn't help but feel happy. He saw Dong Xuan wandering back and forth outside the palace gate.
"Mr. Dong!" Zhang Kun greeted and stepped forward.
Dong Xuan immediately stopped, saw Zhang Kun, bowed his hands and said, "It turns out to be Zhang Yezhe!"
Zhang Kun looked at Dong Xuan with a half-smile but not a smile, and said: "It seems that Magistrate Dong has waited outside the palace in advance since His Majesty is going to summon you! In this case, it saves me the trouble. Let's go, Magistrate Dong.
Order, follow me into the palace!"
Dong Xuan bowed, walked to the palace gate, took off the sword from his ribs, handed it to the imperial guards at the side, and then followed Zhang Kun into the palace.
Liu Xiu summoned Dong Xuan not in the side hall, but in the main hall. In the main hall, there were two rows of Yulin guards, ten people in each row, twenty people in total, each holding a wooden staff in his hand.
Guang Luxun Fu An stood aside, his head lowered, his expression unclear.
Following Zhang Kun, he walked into the main hall. Seeing this posture, Dong Xuan was heartbroken. It seemed that it would be difficult for him to leave the palace alive today!
Realizing this, Dong Xuan was no longer afraid. He turned a blind eye to the murderous Yulin guards on both sides, walked to the center of the hall, knelt down, kowtowed forward, and said loudly: "I am a humble minister, Dong Xuan, pay homage to your majesty!"
Liu Xiu was sitting on the throne without a curtain. He looked down at Dong Xuan who was kneeling below, and his hands under the table slowly clenched into fists.
Liu Xiu has always felt guilty about Liu Huang.
Ever since she was a child, the eldest sister's life has been too hard and she has not enjoyed much happiness. Now that he has become the emperor and the eldest sister has become a princess, he originally planned to choose a good wife for the eldest sister, but was rejected outright by Song Hong.
Liu Xiu felt very sorry.
This time, how could he not be angry when his eldest sister was bullied and humiliated like this?
He had no expression on his face and asked straight to the point: "Dong Xuan, Zhang Fan, the slave of Princess Mansion, was beaten to death by you?"
Dong Xuan replied: "Your Majesty, that's right!"
Liu Xiu clenched his fists tighter, and his eyes were about to burst into flames when he looked at Dong Xuan. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What crime is Zhang Fan guilty of?"
Dong Xuan said sternly: "In broad daylight, people kill people in public, and they care about human life. They are beyond measure. Such a treacherous person should be punished according to the law!"
Liu Xiu took a deep breath and asked, "Who did Zhang Fan kill?"
"Wang Yan from Yique!"
"This person is spreading rumors that the princess and Zhang Fan have an affair, don't you know?" Liu Xiu asked with a serious face.
Dong Xuan, who had been lowering his head, raised his head, glanced at Liu Xiu, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Wang Yan is a surname from Yique. On the day he was killed, it was his first day and first time in Luoyang. How could he do this?
Go around and spread rumors that the princess has an affair with Zhang Fan? Given Wang Yanzhi’s background, he probably doesn’t even know who the princess is, let alone who Zhang Fan is.”
"So, you have concluded that Zhang Fan killed Wang Yan for no reason!"
"Exactly!"
Liu Xiu raised his hand and nodded at Dong Xuan. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, he took two deep breaths and said, "Didn't you beat Zhang Fan to death with a stick? Come here,
Kill Dong Xuan with a stick in the palace!"
Fu An, who had been standing aside silently, looked up at Liu Xiu and hesitated to speak. Fu An had no personal relationship with Dong Xuan, but he had a very good impression of Dong Xuan. He was upright and strict in enforcing the law. Such a person
Being executed was a great loss to the court.
He wanted to persuade him a few words, but seeing that the emperor was angry, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
Your Majesty has great respect for Princess Huyang, the royal sister. This time the princess has suffered such great injustice. It is impossible for your majesty not to stand up for the princess. Otherwise, where is the majesty of the royal family?
Furthermore, Dong Xuan did go a bit too far this time.
He dragged the man out of the princess's carriage and beat him to death in front of the princess. Based on what he did, he was not executed by the whole family. It was considered a mercy of His Majesty.
Liu Xiu gave the order, and the Yulin guards standing on both sides shouted in unison, each holding a wooden staff, and walked towards Dong Xuan. Dong Xuan looked around, then looked up at Liu Xiu, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please listen to me.
A word!"
Looking at Dong Xuan, who was pointing at him and scratching his neck, Liu Xiu almost laughed angrily. He nodded at Dong Xuan and said, "Say! If you have anything else to say, tell me now!"
Dong Xuan said: "Your Majesty's wisdom and martial prowess have enabled the great Han Dynasty to revive. However, out of the thirteen states in the world, Your Majesty only occupies two or three out of ten. Before the great cause was accomplished, he indulged his domestic slaves, disregarded human life, and tyrannized here. The people of the world are alienated.
Why don't your majesty's great cause fall by the wayside? I am only a Luoyang order, so it is not a pity to die, but the Han family has died here, and I am heartbroken!"
Having said this, Dong Xuan suddenly stood up, raised his head and said: "Don't bother Your Majesty to kill the minister, the minister can commit suicide!"
As he spoke, Dong Xuan bent forward and hit the pillar of the main hall on the side.
Fu An saw it clearly and was startled. Without thinking, he directly tugged the seal ribbon hanging around his waist, waved his arm outward and threw it out. The seal ribbon hit Dong Xuan's knee.
Dong Xuan's body staggered as he ran out.
Although he failed to stop Dong Xuan, he took away a lot of the force of Dong Xuan's collision with the pillar. Even so, there was still a muffled thud in the hall, and Dong Xuan's forehead hit the pillar firmly, and only in an instant
, blood flowed from his forehead, dyeing most of his face blood red.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu couldn't help but stand up, pointed his finger at the Yulin Guards present, and shouted loudly: "Stop him! Stop him quickly!"
The Yulin guards present all threw away the wooden sticks in their hands, swarmed forward, and pinned down Dong Xuan who was still trying to get up and continue to hit the pillar.
Dong Xuan's words just now touched Liu Xiu and made Liu Xiu deeply moved. Dong Xuan wanted to commit suicide by hitting a pillar, which shocked Liu Xiu even more and made him realize that Dong Xuan was a man he could never
Can't kill.
He walked down from the throne and came to Dong Xuan. He lowered his head and took a closer look. What a good guy, his head was bleeding. He couldn't help but raise his thumb in his heart and exclaimed, how cruel! Dong Xuan was not only cruel to others, but also to him.
I am ruthless enough.yyls
If You Fu'an hadn't stopped him in time, he would have really planned to smash his own head!
Liu Xiu walked back and forth in front of Dong Xuan with his hands behind his back. Dong Xuan was supported by two Yulin guards and sat on the ground. His eyes were wide open and his body was motionless. It was not known whether he was knocked unconscious.
After walking for a while, Liu Xiucai stopped, turned around and said, "Zhang Kun!"
"Slave...slave is here!" Zhang Kun came to his senses and agreed hastily. Zhang Kun had never seen a ruthless man like Dong Xuan before, and today his eyes were opened.
Liu Xiu frowned, looked at Dong Xuan again, sighed softly, and said, "Go and invite the eldest princess here."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Zhang Kun responded and trotted out of the hall. Not long after, Liu Huang walked in with the support of two personal maids.
Seeing Dong Xuan sitting in the hall with blood on his head and face, Liu Huang's face showed a look of pride. This is the consequences of going against him! Dong Xuan didn't even look at who she was, she was tall
Princess, the emperor’s biological sister!
Liu Xiu said: "Sister, I have severely punished Dong Xuan just now. Let's end the matter with Zhang Fan!"
Liu Huang was startled at first, then frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Dong Xuan is still alive!" The implication is, Axiu, shouldn't you kill him!
Liu Xiu smiled bitterly, he was really reluctant to kill Dong Xuan now! Such a single-minded and hard-headed official could not be found in many civil and military officials in the dynasty.
Killing Dong Xuan was like the court committing suicide. He was too embarrassed to explain anything to his eldest sister, so he turned to look at Dong Xuan and said with a stern face: "Dong Xuan, why are you still standing here? Why don't you come over and apologize to the eldest princess!"
Dong Xuan finally came back to his senses, and his dull eyes took on a charm. He looked first at Liu Xiu, then at Liu Huang, then knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Liu Huang was so angry that he looked at Liu Xiu angrily and said dissatisfied: "Your Majesty! Emperor! You have also seen that Dong Xuan still doesn't repent until now!"
Liu Xiu, one with two heads, stared at Dong Xuan intently, his eyes almost on fire. I won't kill you now. As long as you think about the princess, you will be soft and admit your mistake. Isn't that okay?
Facing the stubborn Dong Xuan, Fu An couldn't help but hold his forehead.
He stepped forward and winked at his men. The clever Yu Linwei understood immediately and almost carried Dong Xuan up to Liu Huang, then forced him to kneel on the ground and pressed his neck. Let him kowtow to Liu Huang and admit his mistake.
Dong Xuan put his hands on the ground, but refused to lower his head, let alone kowtow and admit his mistake. The two Yulin guards pressed his neck with all their strength, but they couldn't push his head to the ground.
