Squinting his eyes, he looked at Hyun kneeling below:
Does she really want me to make trouble when I'm angry?
Hyun didn't hear any movement from Ning Sheng, so she encouraged herself again:
"Your Majesty, the fault lies with Lord Lei. Lord Lei is a bastard. Damn it. He should be put in the frying pan. He should be in jail. It is best that he go to a brothel and get gonorrhea, syphilis or something, and be tortured to death slowly. Lord Lei betrayed the country, it is not worth it at all. Treated lightly.”
After hearing this, Ning Sheng lost half of his anger:
She could only imagine why she got sick from going to a brothel.
When I saw Eunuch Jing and Eunuch Hao in the room, they were also trying their best to suppress their laughter. Even so, Ning Sheng had no intention of taking it back. Lei Xu had sold so much to the country and brought so many dangers to the country for so many years. There were so many citizens of Kun Yu Country. , if the country is destroyed, not even the Lei family can afford to pay for it, so this can be regarded as a warning to others.
Hyun hadn't heard Ning Sheng's movement yet, so she tilted her head and looked at Eunuch Jing and Eunuch Hao standing beside her, but both of them lowered their heads and didn't look at her, and she didn't have the guts to look up at Ning Sheng, so she had to take a deep breath. He continued in one breath:
"But Your Majesty, there are thousands, tens of thousands of lives of the nine tribes. These people are not all bad people. They did it with Mr. Lei and supported the emperor's killing. Such bastards can be chopped into meat sauce, rolled into balls and fed to dogs. It's too much, but there are still many innocent people, and they should not be buried with Lei Xu and others for their mistakes."
Hyun was also anxious. His words did not match his words and were incoherent. He was not convincing at all. Ning Sheng became even more angry after hearing this:
"Get out! Get out! What nonsense are you talking about? Are you sympathizing with those who betrayed Kunyu Kingdom? Have you ever thought about how many citizens there are in Kunyu Kingdom? If the country is destroyed, what will happen to these citizens?! Give me I’m getting out!”
"emperor……"
"roll!"
Eunuch Jing and Eunuch Hao hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Hyun out.
After that, Ning Sheng didn't see Huan at all, and Huan went to find Lin Hua, but Lin Hua couldn't do anything. During this period, Yu Luo was beheaded for his crime; Han Wei was beheaded for his crime; and all the officials involved in Lei Xu's business were beheaded. , the execution ground was washed with blood almost every day, and the people clapped their hands and cheered, but Xun's mood became more and more depressed. Perhaps Ning Sheng would follow the public opinion and kill the nine Lei Xu clan.
After not seeing Xuan making trouble for a few days, Ning Sheng thought that Xun had given up and wanted to wait for Lei Xu's nine tribes to capture them all and kill them all.
After the dynasty was dismissed, Ning Sheng reviewed the memorials, met with people who had matters to discuss alone, etc.
At noon, it was time to rest. Ning Sheng frowned, but saw Eunuch Jing and Eunuch Hao pushing and shoving below, as if they had something to say:
"You have served me for so many years, why don't you say anything?"
Eunuch Jing gave Eunuch Hao a push, and Eunuch Hao had no choice but to step forward:
"Your Majesty, here, here is a letter."
Ning Sheng looked at the two people's trembling faces:
"Hyun didn't give it to me, right?"
Eunuch Jing said:
"Your Majesty, let's take a look. Miss Hyun is not bad either."
Ning Sheng sighed secretly:
"Hand it over."
Eunuch Hao hurriedly stepped forward and placed the letter in Ning Sheng's hand.
Ning Sheng opened it and saw Hyun's childish handwriting. He curled up his lips and wrote:
"To the Emperor: The punishment of punishing the nine tribes has been around since ancient times, but there is no actual implementation of it. Its function is mostly to deter and make the ministers worry. Now that the Jin Dynasty is fighting for power, people are panicked, and the tribes are ready to take action. Kun Yu The country is also on tenterhooks. At this time, if the Nine Tribes are killed and large-scale bloodshed is caused, they are afraid that they will be used by people with ulterior motives and destabilize the stability of the Kunyu Kingdom. The killing of Yuluo and others a few days ago was on a small scale, and they were all people who deserved to be punished. It is understandable that the people are happy, but the execution of the Nine Tribes of Lei and Xu will turn the execution ground into a sea of blood. When women, children, old and young cry and die under the sword, the people will not remain indifferent. If they are guided and used by people with intentions again, they will The consequences are disastrous, so I hope your Majesty will be cautious, cautious, think twice, and never act too hastily."
After going back, Hyun thought about it and no longer emphasized the innocence of those people, but analyzed the current situation, hoping that this would gain Ning Sheng's approval.
Ning Sheng read Hyun's letter and fell into deep thought. At that time, he was only angry. Later, he was overwhelmed by the people's applause. After reading Hyun's letter, he finally calmed down, even though he knew that Hyun was trying to change the law. The verdict, but I have to say that Hyun’s analysis still makes sense.
However, he is an emperor, and once he makes a promise, it is hard to follow him. How could he go back on his words like this? He really puts himself in a dilemma and regrets his original impulse.
Eunuch Jing and Eunuch Hao saw that Ning Sheng was leaning towards Yuan. Eunuch Jing signaled to Eunuch Hao. Eunuch Hao swallowed his saliva and encouraged himself:
"Your Majesty, Miss Hyun has been kneeling outside the study since morning."
Ning Sheng was stunned and looked out the door:
"Hyun is here?"
Ning Sheng is now in the study room of the front palace. How can Hyun be here? One is due to regulations. It is impossible for Hyun to come to the front palace. In the past, he always dressed up as a eunuch and was brought by Ning Sheng to read books. The other is, if Hyun is If you kneel here, all civil and military officials will know about it. If word spreads, it will force Ning Sheng to not change his decision. Ning Sheng doesn't think that Hyun will not think of this.
Eunuch Hao said:
"It's outside the study room in the harem."
Ning Sheng snorted:
"Even if she can still think of it, forcing her to have a baby will not fulfill her wish."
The two of them thought that Ning Sheng would relent, and happily waited for the follow-up, but Ning Sheng went to eat. The two of them stared at each other, wondering what kind of medicine Ning Sheng was selling in his gourd, and they saw Hyun kneeling for most of the day.
The patrolling Imperial Guards looked back and forth at Xun who was kneeling on the ground. In front of the majestic palace, Xun looked so small and humble, as if he was a speck of dust.
At night, Hyun was still kneeling on the ground and hadn't moved all day. One of the soldiers from the Forbidden Army who worked with Hyun at the refugee camp couldn't stand it. He knelt like this all day without eating or drinking. After all, he was a soldier. The woman gave her a steamed bun and called a few times. She raised her head with sleepy eyes. The soldier suddenly felt that he had thought too much and really wanted to leave, but he was already here. It would not be good to just leave like this.
He took out the steamed bun and handed it to her:
"I haven't eaten for a day, let's eat something."
When Hyun saw the steamed buns, his eyes lit up. Even though he stuffed his stomach with food before going out, he had already finished digesting it in a day. Just when he wanted to eat, he retracted his hand:
"You have to be sincere if you don't eat, right?" After hearing what she said, the soldier was about to leave, but he saw her eyes fixed on the steamed buns. Wherever the steamed buns moved, her eyes would follow them. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself and deliberately pretended to be in his arms. , Hyun grabbed his hand and said, "Hey, since you took it out, why take it back?"
The soldier teased her:
"Didn't Miss Hyun say you have to be sincere?"
Hyun didn't care whether her hands were dirty or not, and grabbed it:
"What if my brother ignores me for a few days? I won't be heroic. I'll show my sincerity after I have a full stomach."
The soldier couldn't help but burst into laughter. After so many things, he now no longer believed the rumors about Xun that had been circulated among the Forbidden Army:
How could such a person harm others? It must be the princess who spreads rumors to cause trouble.
After eating the steamed buns, Hyun rubbed her belly:
"I'm sure, thank you. If I don't show my strength this time, I'll treat you to a drink."
The soldier smiled, stood up, walked a few steps and looked back. He was kneeling and kowtowing again. He must have fallen asleep again. The soldier shook his head helplessly.
He knelt down for two days. Ning Yan became anxious and ran to Ning Sheng to dance:
"Brother, you can't do this to Hyun. Hyun is doing it for Kun Yuguo. You, you are trying to kill her."
Ning Sheng glanced at him sideways:
"What kind of dance? That guy is living a good life. Some people in the Forbidden Army give her food and drinks."
"But we can't let her kneel for two days. Women are weak and there is something wrong with her kneeling."
"Hyun is as strong as a cow. You are sick, but she can still jump around. Don't worry, you have to give me a step down. If you can't let me say it out, just change it easily."
"Then, how many days do you plan to make her kneel?"
"It doesn't matter if you have something to eat and drink. Kneeling for a few more days will help your memory. Don't rush to the study without thinking. Although it is said to be a harem study, if someone catches her, it will be enough for her to drink a pot."
Ning Yan looked worriedly in the direction of the harem.
At first, Hyun was really joking. He wanted to kneel down for two or three days to give Ning Sheng face. He changed the sentence and got up. Unexpectedly, on the third day, Ning Sheng still didn't move. Now he became angry. :
Is it possible that he really wants to kill the nine tribes? That would cost tens of thousands of lives! Even if he is an emperor, he can't ignore life so much!
So I refused to eat or drink, and really had to kneel down until Ning Sheng agreed.
The weather in summer is changeable. One second the sun is shining, the next second there are strong winds, then there is heavy rain, and even worse, hail.
But for Hyun, the sun must not shine brightly. The northwest region is arid and the sunshine is strong. The place where you kneel is not covered or blocked. After a while, it will be like a waterlogged bathtub. What I like most is the wind. Hot or cold, the most comfortable.
The wind had been blowing for several days, and on the fifth night when Hyun knelt down, it rained heavily. Hyun was helpless. She felt most uncomfortable when her clothes got wet. Even though it was summer, she still felt very uncomfortable. However, she could drink water. Mom used to It is often said that people can live for 7 days or even longer without eating, but without drinking water, problems will occur within three days. Now I have experienced it personally, and I regret that I should not have refused water at that time. Alas, I was impulsive.
Ning Sheng got up to prepare for the morning meeting. Hearing the sound of heavy rain outside, he asked Lin Hua:
"Hyun is still kneeling?"
"That should be the case. That girl sometimes accepts death. The Emperor really intends to keep her kneeling."
"No way, do you think I don't feel sorry for you? Wait a minute, Lei Xu's nine tribes are about to be captured, and I want to surprise them on the execution ground."
"What about Hyun?"
"After everyone was released, she could still be kneeling. She must have gone back with a bang."
"I heard that she stopped accepting the food and drinks given to her by the Imperial Army a few days ago. Will she be okay after a few days?"
"Do you believe those rumors? Many of the people in the Forbidden Army have been subdued by her now. It's not difficult to help spread the word. Don't underestimate Hyun, she is a ghost."
Although Ning Sheng said this, Lin Hua was still a little worried, but Ning Sheng had his own arrangements, and Lin Hua couldn't say much.
Ning Sheng unfolded his clothes, hugged Lin Hua, and kissed her forehead:
"I'm leaving, you can sleep a little longer."
The rain continued until the sun rose, and then it gradually stopped. Hyun meimei drank a lot of water. She had never drunk such delicious water, it was comparable to a mountain spring.
The rain stopped, but the wind picked up again, and in the evening it started to rain again. This time it was not pouring, but a steady patter that never stopped.
On the third day, the rain stopped, and Lei Xu's nine tribes were also captured. Tens of thousands of them were all taken to the execution ground. There were wailing and begging for mercy all the way. The people who watched were miserable and the lively people were all excited. An Jingjing felt very sympathetic, especially when she saw the children.
A group of people arrived at the execution ground. The prison car occupied almost all the places except where the executioner was. If so many people were to be killed, even the executioner could not help but tremble. There was a cry in the execution ground.
When the time came, the supervisor stood up and shouted:
"The time has come! Execution!"
The executioners pulled everyone out of the prison car and knelt on the ground one by one. The cries of the children and the cries of the women merged into the most tragic song. The faces of the people watching around became heavy.
Ning Sheng, Ning Feng and some guards were in the teahouse opposite the execution ground.
Seeing this scene, Ning Sheng said:
"The greatest sorrow is separation between life and death, separation of flesh and blood. Hyun has accumulated great virtues. I hope these people will not let down the life that Hyun has prayed for them in the future."
Ning Feng said eagerly:
"Can we let her go back? She hasn't eaten or drank for several days."
Ning Sheng glanced at her sideways:
"Did you hear it from the Imperial Guard again?"
Ning Feng was stunned:
"What does this have to do with anything?"
"Many members of the Forbidden Army have been subdued by Hyun. How difficult is it to help her spread a message?"
"But that girl is so stupid that she doesn't care about anything."
Ning Sheng looked at the people crying and howling on the execution ground and said calmly:
"That girl cherishes her life even more."
The executioner raised the ghost-headed knife, and the cold light shone, making the hearts of not only the tortured but also the onlookers tremble. (To be continued)
