Zhu Yuanzhang put the heirloom jade seal back in the seal box, his eyes swept over the faces of Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and the ministers who were prostrate on the ground, and said coldly: "Drag them out, ask the palace gate to behead, Chen Youliang will punish the nine clans, and the rest will wait for the three clans." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the ministers who came out to confess their sins kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang like pounding garlic to beg for mercy, and blood splashed all over the place for a while, breaking countless good heads.

The guards of the inner palace rushed up, and the four of them lifted the ministers from the ground one by one, dragged them to the outside of the main hall like dead dogs, and the sound of crying fathers and mothers sounded.

Chen Youliang had been knocked unconscious by Chang Yuchun, and was dragged out by several guards without the slightest struggle.

After Zhang Shicheng was erected from the ground by several guards, he tried his best to break away from the guards, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said calmly: "Becoming the king and defeating the king, God bless Zhu and not bless Chen, friendship and forgiveness are self-inflicted, please give me self-punishment and thank God." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Shicheng, stepped down from Jinluan, walked in front of Zhang Shicheng, sighed, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Shicheng, you and my brother once worked hand in hand to win this Ying Tianfu, but now the captives are not broken, but they are brothers, alas." ”

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be unable to bear to see Zhang Shicheng cut himself, turned sideways and closed his eyes, two tears slipped from his eyes, and he seemed to be moved by his true feelings.

Zhang Shicheng bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, bowed three times and bowed nine times, meticulously, and shouted in his mouth: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

In the side hall, Tang Dou, who was watching all this, couldn't help but sigh softly, which one of them who can leave a name in history is not a vegetarian, Zhang Shicheng's move may exempt him from the sin of the nine clans, it depends on how Zhu Yuanzhang chooses.

"It's not good", Queen Ma beside Tang Dou suddenly exclaimed, and raised the crossbow on her wrist.

From Tang Dou and Queen Ma's point of view, they saw that Zhang Shicheng's hanging right hand secretly pulled out a short knife with a strange shape and shining light from his boots, and at this moment, the guards of the inner palace who were guarding Zhang Shicheng were unaware of it, Zhu Yuanzhang was standing in front of Zhang Shicheng with his eyes closed, if Zhang Shicheng broke out, he would indeed have a great chance to restrain Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing that Queen Ma was about to pull the trigger, Tang Dou was shocked and hurriedly slammed into Queen Ma with one shoulder.

"Tuk tuk tuk", five small crossbow arrows nailed to the wall in front of him.

Queen Ma was stumbled by Tang Dou, and she was so anxious that she jumped to her feet and shouted: "Brother Tang, he wants to assassinate the emperor." ”

Tang Dou reached out and grabbed Queen Ma's wrist, stabilized her, and said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily, even if he really assassinated Guorui, what are you afraid of with me here?" ”

Queen Ma was embarrassed, she was in a hurry just now, but she forgot that Tang Dou, the immortal, could go back in time, in Tang Dou's video, isn't she already dead, and now she is standing here well, but watching Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng die.

Seeing that Queen Ma had calmed down, Tang Dou nodded at her, let go of her wrist, and turned her head to look at the hall again.

He hopes to see Zhang Shicheng apologize for his crimes, and he doesn't want to see the beautiful part of human nature disappear, he hopes that Zhang Shicheng is really trying to find a way out for his family.

At this time, there was already a commotion in the hall, and the shouts of 'protect the emperor' were everywhere, and people had already seen Zhang Shicheng draw the short knife.

Tang Dou shook his head gently, if Zhang Shicheng wanted to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang, he should have been violent the moment his hand touched the handle of the knife just now, obviously, Zhang Shicheng gave up the best time, at this time he took out the short knife not to assassinate or hold Zhu Yuanzhang hostage, but to really self-judge.

In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to push away the guards who were blocking him, and shouted at Tang He, who was about to swing his sword at Zhang Shicheng, "Stop." ”

Zhang Shicheng didn't pay attention to Tang He and those guards at all, he smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was close at hand, put the short knife in his hand across his neck, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "I wish the emperor to get rid of the Tartars as soon as possible, unify the Central Plains, and wait for the emperor to calm the Central Plains. ”

After that, Zhang Shicheng dragged the short knife in his hand without hesitation.

Blood splashed, Zhang Shicheng fell to the ground with a puff, spasmed twice, and died of exhaustion.

Two teardrops rolled down from Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he stretched out his fingers and ordered: "Spread my will, bury Zhang Shicheng with the gift of the king side by side, and the past crimes will not be blamed, and his heir will inherit the title of Zhang Shicheng." ”

Hundreds of officials in the hall prostrate on the ground and shouted: "The emperor is sage"

Several guards stepped forward to lift Zhang Shicheng's body and left, leaving only a pool of blood in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned over and picked up the short knife that Zhang Shicheng had cut himself, re-boarded Jinluan without saying a word, turned his eyes and coldly swept over the ministers who submitted under Jinluan, and said in a cold voice: "Among you, there are still Chen Zhang's traitors, since you don't take the initiative to admit your guilt, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

There are more than a dozen ministers who participated in the rebellion of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, which was dictated in detail by Liu Bowen, Chang Yuchun and others in Tang Dou's video, and only six people took the initiative to confess just now, and the remaining traitors were obviously lucky and tried to get by.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers coldly, and the ministers were sweating like rain, but none of them took the initiative to stand up and confess.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, turned around and sat on the dragon chair, and slapped Zhang Shicheng's short knife in his hand on the dragon case.

With a bang, the kneeling officials collectively trembled with the thud as if they had received an order.

"Li Yong, are you guilty?" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted coldly.

Several tiger and wolf guards swarmed up and dragged out the official named Li Yong from the group of hundreds of officials.

"The emperor spares his life, the minister was bewitched by Chen Youliang......"

"Drag it down, cut it, and punish the nine clans." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered with a cold voice like the bottom of the pot.

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the minister was bewitched by Chen Youliang......"

The crying and shouting went farther and farther, and the ministers in the palace were silent, and the cold sweat flowed into a stream, which merged into a pool in front of everyone.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers who were like lambs to be slaughtered, and said coldly: "I have already given you a chance, you don't know self-love, you must harm your wife and children." Feng Hao, are you guilty? ”

The minister who was named by Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and fainted very simply.

Several guards rushed into the crowd and dragged the minister out by both hands.

"Chop, punish the nine clans."

If you commit a major crime of rebellion, you will ascend to the sky in one step if you succeed, and if you fail, you will suffer from the nine clans, which is a practice handed down from all dynasties.

Tang Dou in the side hall couldn't bear it, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

He didn't know if he could persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to give up the punishment of sitting together, but he knew that most of the family members who were affected must be innocent.

The corners of Tang Dou's eyes twitched a few times, and his mind actually came to mind in the TV series "Looking for Qin", Qin Shihuang wanted to behead Cheng Jiao's whole family, and when Xiang Shaolong persuaded Qin Shi Huang, the undying hatred in the eyes of Cheng Jiao's family was revealed.

Tang Dou knew that it might be a scene deliberately portrayed by the director of the film and television drama, but ......

Tang Dou hesitated for a moment, and two more ministers who were lucky were dragged out by Zhu Yuanzhang's name, they were also from the Zhujiu clan, they couldn't figure it out when they were dying, when they reached a secret agreement with Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, it can be said that only God knows that you know and I know, but how did Zhu Yuanzhang know that they had taken refuge in Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng?

Tang Dou turned around in the side hall, and he was undecided, whether to stop Zhu Yuanzhang from connecting these rebellious clans.

When Queen Ma saw Tang Dou's appearance, she hurriedly approached Tang Dou and asked carefully, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Tang Dou stopped, looked at Queen Ma and asked, "Xiuying, is it appropriate for you to say that one person has committed a crime involving the Nine Clans?" ”

Queen Ma didn't expect Tang Dou to ask this question, she thought carefully for a long time, looked at Tang Dou and said: "Big brother is kind-hearted, but rebellion is not an ordinary crime, only by using thunder means can people not dare to have this thought." If Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng succeed in the rebellion, he will definitely deal with the emperor like this. The emperor was able to let go of Zhang Shicheng's family today, which can be regarded as an extrajudicial grace. ”

What kind of extrajudicial favor, in my opinion, is to buy people's hearts.

Tang Dou glanced at Queen Ma angrily, forget it, I can't communicate with people of this era.

In the main hall, the killing continued.

Every time Zhu Yuanzhang points out a person's name, it will definitely cause a riot among the ministers.

Two ministers who participated in the rebellion couldn't stand the psychological pressure, and finally collapsed, and crawled out to beg Zhu Yuanzhang to let their families go, but Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand without hesitation, dragging people down, beheading, and punishing the nine clans.

I have already given you a chance, and the six ministers who were the first to confess their guilt were only punished by the three clans, and since you have chosen to be stubborn, then don't blame me for being ruthless. (To be continued.) )
