Zhu Xiancai finally saved her husband, although it caused dissatisfaction among many royal families. However, Zhu Xiancai did not care about it. She and Luo Yi set off after struggling to collect the bodies of the Luo family members who were executed in Peking. to Yunnan.
Although Zhu Xianyao was angry with her choice, she was his only compatriot sister after all, so he ordered the masters of Prince Qi's Palace to escort the two of them to Yunnan in the name of escort.
But after he gave the instructions, he put the matter aside because he had more important things to do.
…
"Crack!" "Crack!" The sound of the whip breaking through the air continued to sound, and from time to time there was a "sizzling" sound mixed with the painful screams of humans. If anyone saw the scene where this sound was made, they would know that it was The sound made when someone is being branded with a red iron on their body.
In addition, if someone walks in here, they will see a pile of what appear to be small white stones piled up in the middle of this very large interrogation area. But if you take a closer look, you will find that they are human teeth. , countless human teeth.
Zhu Xianyao walked around the various interrogation rooms, as if he was admiring the most beautiful paintings in the world, showing a happy expression. From time to time, he would stop in a certain interrogation room and take something from the hands of the person who was being tortured. A few strokes were added to a beautiful painting, and then the thing was handed back to its original artist.
Zhu Xianyao watched for a long time and felt that his legs were a little sore. Then he sat down and said to the guards following him: "It's a pity that this is not Qingzhou. Otherwise, the torture instruments that my father hid in Prince Qi's Mansion could be used." These people are being tortured here.”
At this moment, all the guards felt that Zhu Xianyao and Zhu Shu were indeed father and son. They were both cold-blooded and cruel, but Zhu Xianyao was smarter than his father and had more respect for the emperor. But this time, the emperor acquiesced. He tortured these people, so he could fully display his violent side.
At this time, an interrogator said to Zhu Xianyao: "Your Highness, although those women made their lives worse than death according to His Highness's instructions, they did not leave any scars on the surface, nor did they damage their bones or teeth."
Zhu Xianyao said: "Okay, you did a good job. Now send those people to the brothel in Beiping Mansion. I will make them all bitches that can be ridden by thousands of people and straddled by thousands of people!" At this point, he seemed to be He remembered something and gritted his teeth.
The interrogator hesitated to speak and planned to go back to carry out Zhu Xianyao's order. However, his hesitant expression was seen by Zhu Xianyao, so Zhu Xianyao said: "What do you have to say!" His voice was very cold. I believe that if his The answer is not in line with Zhu Xianyao's wishes, and it is very likely that he will become the same as the person who is being tortured in the next moment.
The man used up all his courage and said: "Your Highness, those little girls who have not yet reached the age of thirteen and have not yet arrived will also be sent to the brothel?"
Zhu Xianyao was stunned for a while, and then he said after a while: "These little girls who are not yet thirteen years old should be executed directly. Although Gu is not a good person, he is not a beast."
Yes, in his opinion, cruelly torturing these people and then executing them was a bit cruel, but it was still normal; letting men rape these adult women was also cruel, but it was still normal. There was no war where civilian women were raped by soldiers. What about rape?
However, Zhu Xianyao felt that letting people rape these young girls who had not even arrived at Tiankui felt that it was not something that a human should do, so he decided to execute them directly, showing that he was still a human being who was a bit violent after being stimulated, but was still within the normal range.
Although this result surprised the man, Zhu Xianyao's bodyguards were not surprised. Now that Yunxi is in Beiping City, if Zhu Xianyao doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps, it's better to be normal. Of course, this may be his nature.
Who knows?
But what Zhu Xianyao did next surprised the guards. Zhu Xianyao said to the person who came to admonish: "You are very good. You reminded me, very good. I have decided to reward you with a hundred taels of gold and a dou of jade."
This man was obviously a little stunned. He was speechless for a long time and just stood like this.
One of the guards kicked him and said, "Why don't you thank me quickly!"
The man then knelt down and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness."
Zhu Xianyao said: "This is what you deserve."
The man bowed and stepped back, but everyone could see that he was very excited because he had left a shoe there, but he didn't notice it at all.
Zhu Xianyao smiled and was about to stand up and continue to look at the beautiful scroll when a guard who was guarding it ran down and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty just ordered someone to deliver the oral message."
"Your Majesty ordered His Highness to hurry up because, since His Highness has not graduated from the Royal Academy, he ordered His Highness to return to the capital with His Majesty in a few days."
Zhu Xianyao raised his eyebrows, but still didn't say anything. He just said: "You go up." After there was no one around him, Zhu Xianyao said in a voice that no one else could hear: "You really won't let me go to Qingzhou again to do this."
Wang. Next, he will probably find some reasons to put me..." His last words were spoken in a very clear voice, and he had no idea what he was talking about.
At this time, Yunxi didn't know that his thoughts had been guessed, although the person only guessed five points correctly. Yunxi was concerned about another thing.
Yunxi said to Guo Hongtao in front of him: "What are Zhu Zhu doing in Qingzhou these days?" He did not use honorifics.
Guo Hongtao said: "Your Majesty, King Fei of Qi has been sweeping the streets in Qingzhou these days. Every morning he leaves Prince Qi's Mansion and goes to the Buddhist temple to attend morning classes. Then he sweeps the streets, one after another, until it gets dark and goes to the Buddhist temple to eat.
Fast food, attend evening classes, and then return to Prince Qi’s Mansion.”
"I heard that the local Buddhist temple did not dare to take him in or refuse him, so he has been like this. But King Fei of Qi always followed the monks' requirements and personally fetched water, dressed and washed bedding. All the kings of Liao
All the servants His Highness left for him were kicked out. He only wore monk's robes every day and never indulged in sexual intercourse with women."
"Also, I heard that King Qi Fei wanted to dig out excrement at first, but the local government was frightened and sent officials to guard every cesspit, so King Qi Fei switched to sweeping the streets."
Zhu Yunxi had experienced a lot, but he was still frightened by Zhu Zhu's behavior. After a long while, Yunxi said: "Why did he do this? Did you tell him the reason?"
Guo Hongtao said: "King Fei of Qi once said that although he has become a monk, it can be said that he has lived another life, but after all, what happened in the previous life is the cause of this life, so he has to settle the cause and effect. And he has oppressed the local people deeply, so this is the only way
Only then can the guilt be reduced.”
Yunxi felt a little funny and asked: "How did the local people react?"
"No one dared to believe it at first, but gradually many people knew it and knew that King Qi Fei was atoning for his sins. However, no one dared to approach him, no matter whether he was scolding him or not."
Yunxi lowered his head and thought for a while, but still couldn't imagine Zhu Zhu sweeping the street. Finally, he couldn't help laughing, which aroused the surprise of the servants outside the house.
However, Guo Hongtao's expression did not change at all. But Yunxi was not surprised, he was like this in front of Grandpa Huang a few years ago.
After Yunxi finished laughing, he lowered his head and thought. He felt that if Zhu Shu really believed in Buddhism, it would not be a bad thing at all. Such Zhu Shu could actually be used to do many things.
Yunxi said: "In this case, I will confer him a title and give him an ultimatum. But for the rest, let him continue to sweep the streets in Qingzhou. No, have any monks from the Buddhist temples in Qingzhou ever cleaned the streets?
matter?"
Guo Hongtao replied: "No."
"In this case, then order all the monks of the Qingzhou Buddhist Temple to clean the streets every day as part of the morning service."
Guo Hongtao thought for a moment and said, "Can we allow King Qi Fei to become his disciple?"
Yunxi shook his head: "No need, let him stay at the temple in Qingzhou for the time being. We will discuss the matter of becoming a disciple later."
Guo Hongtao accepted the order and went down. However, Yunxi was still thinking hard after he left.
…
A few days later, it was already late November, and Yunxi led his army back. It was time to set off, otherwise he would not be able to return to the capital before the New Year.
Among the people accompanying him were members of the Prince Yan's family. Yes, 7, who had been awarded the title of Prince Yan, would also be brought back to the capital by him.
Of course, King Qi and others also returned to Beijing together.
However, there were still some remaining matters that needed to be dealt with in Peiping. Yunxi thought about it and left Sheng Yong, who had been promoted to the position of Governor and Tongzhi, to stay in Peiping to handle the remaining matters.
Two days later, on November 22, Yunxi officially set off from Peiping and returned to the capital.
=================================================
On the same day, somewhere in the northwest, the cold air from Xianbelia had already moved south, and a fierce northwest wind blew here. The wind was like a knife, making people unable to open their eyes.
But two people who were already quite old stood in the cold wind, with their eyes open and looking at each other. One of them said: "Are you really going to make this decision?"
The other person he asked said: "Not only me, Taiping and Batu Polo also feel this way. Only in this way can our two families not be hurt.
The man opened his eyes wide and said: "The headquarters in the east is no longer as powerful as one-tenth of what it was back then. It is impossible to stop this man. Only the Ming Dynasty can do it! And the Ming Dynasty can never occupy the grassland for a long time.
We will divide the various tribes into enfeoffments, so that we can still have a chance after the Ming Dynasty weakens. But if we let that man succeed in his eastern expedition, we Mongols will have no chance to rise again."
The person who asked the question before was silent for a moment and then said: "Okay, then I will send my son to go with you to the capital of Ming Dynasty to facilitate this matter."
The other person said: "Not only the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but also the king of Qin who was granted the title of Shazhou also has to deal with."
"Moreover, this King of Qin must also want us to deal with him. We may have other opportunities." When he spoke, his eyes flashed with unknown meaning.
