Chapter 568: Kill the head, sacrifice the flag (second update, ask for subscription)
Be a traitor!
Glancing at his son like an idiot, Chen Yan shook his head and said.
"Why do we study, it is to be an official, learn literature and martial arts and sell it to the emperor's family, the emperor of the Zhu family is the emperor, the Li family is also the emperor, and of course the Aixin Jueluo family is also, whoever gives us officials, who is our monarch's father, I don't understand this truth, you really read and read into wood!"
"Dad, but, yes, ......"
Chen Dagongzi squeaked but didn't know what to say, but Chen Yan said proudly.
"Don't look at your father and I were punished, but I kept the Chen family's family business, why didn't my father leave the capital at the beginning, the family goods that were accumulated in the chaos did not go away, not to mention, my father thought that the Dashun Dynasty was also employed, when he was offering money, my father was thinking about whether he could keep those family businesses and even his life if he took the silver directly, and my father really didn't know, so at that time your father just gritted his teeth and survived, 100,000 taels, 100,000 taels......"
While his heart ached for the silver, Chen Yan's hands and legs, which were broken, also hurt, but he still commanded softly.
"This Dashun Southern Expedition, we don't need to look at these two days, these two days, you go out to find a few big cars, and when he goes out of the city, let's go directly out of the customs and go to the Qing Dynasty......"
"Dad, what if Dashun uses Da Shun?"
"Of course, it's to serve the monarch!"
Just when Chen Yan said this, I saw an old servant come in to report it, saying that an internal official had come to invite the master.
"Officer?"
As soon as he heard that it was an internal official, Chen Yan's heart suddenly became excited, and he hurriedly asked his son to help him up and said.
"Quick, take me to my father-in-law quickly, and take fifty taels, not one hundred taels of silver."
He has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has long become an old oilman in the officialdom. Especially since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has constantly figured out Emperor Chongzhen's temper and catered to his wishes, which has led to his ascension in his career. To understand Emperor Chongzhen's temper, Chen Yan's method is: colluding with the ministers. In other words, he has a good relationship with the servants around Emperor Chongzhen, and he knows everything about Emperor Chongzhen's movements.
With a hundred taels of silver as a foundation, the little eunuch's face naturally looked much better, and when Chen Yan asked what was the matter, the little eunuch replied.
"Your Majesty summons the old minister."
"What has Your Majesty called me?"
Chen Yan asked in a trembling voice. He's excited!
I was finally able to see Li Zicheng, I didn't expect this day to really come, now it's okay! Not only did he save his life, but he could continue to be an official!
Otherwise, what else would Li Zicheng do by himself?
It should be for the southern expedition, right? The emperor is going to go on a personal expedition, so someone must need to give advice.
"Your Majesty will send troops to fight against the remnants of the Ming Dynasty today."
The little eunuch said in a low voice.
"All the officials have to go to Chengtianmen to see them off, and the decree is sent to the old Xiangguo to go too."
Your Majesty must be taking the opportunity to become an official!
The Emperor's grace is mighty!
Chen Yan, who was so excited, almost didn't shed tears, now it's okay, at least he doesn't have to be a traitor, in fact, the main reason is that he is afraid of the wind and cold outside the plug, and he is afraid that he will not be able to live for a few years in Mobei if he is not careful.
Now Li, no, Your Majesty uses him, he is a courtier of Dashun! Your Majesty is his father!
"Son,"
Chen Yan hurriedly called his son.
"Go and get your father's robe......
Before he could finish speaking, he spoke again.
"Oh, look at my brain, the official robe of the Ming Dynasty has long been lost, go, take the Confucian robe for my father, and see that the monarch can't be rude, wear that blue one."
The clothes were quickly fetched, and they were well-made silk robes. The reason why I chose blue is because this dress looks similar to Dashun's official uniform, Dashun is Shuide, and the official robes are blue!
It's still blue and good-looking, which looks like the red official robe of the Ming Dynasty is not good-looking at all. Fire, what is red, how can there be water, after all, the fire also has a time to burn out. Water virtue is the endless number of qi.
Da Shun Ti Ming.
This is also the will of God, and he is just following the heavens now.
With the help of the guards brought by the eldest prince Chen and the little eunuch, Chen Yan, who had broken hands and feet, quickly put on his "official uniform". Although he couldn't walk, the little eunuch who received the money still let a strong inner guard carry him on the road. And Chen Dagongzi also came with him because he took care of his father, and his expression was as excited as his father.
This is just right, my father is an official again, and he is the dignified son of Chen again.
Of course, it is more important that you don't have to flee to the outside of the plug.
As for what Li Thief and Li Thief said before, it was not because of the grievances suffered by his father, and now Emperor Dashun has made his father an official again, that is the father of the Chen family's father and son!
The monarch's father beats his courtiers, that's a matter of course!
Soon their group arrived outside the Chengtian Gate, where many officials had gathered, and they were listed according to their civil and military ranks and grades. Its Chinese officials were led by Cheng Xiang Sun Ke, and military attachés were led by Li Guo. Looking at the blue official robes on those civil officials, Chen Yan was that envious, but he believed that the Confucian robes on his body would soon be replaced by official robes. Then he became a courtier with them.
In addition to the officials of Dashun, there are more than a dozen officials of the former dynasty who have broken their hands and feet, they are all kneeling behind, but most of them are wearing blue crewneck shirts, obviously coming to the chest by the high-grade complement, as long as they wear the top black yarn and add a grade color complement, it is a proper official of the Dashun Dynasty.
However, what is uncomfortable is that there are almost five big and three thick soldiers guarding them, which is quite scary to look at.
The little eunuch also brought Chen Yan there and smiled at him:
"Old man, please."
"Elder Ge, are you here too?"
"Quick, make room for the elder pavilion......"
The kneeling people greeted Chen Yan warmly, they were all the same, their hands and feet were injured by the sticks, so everyone could only nod and say hello.
Chen Dagongzi also wants to stay with his father to face the saint, maybe when the time comes, the emperor will remember him so filial piety and reward him with an official? Even if it's a petty official of the seventh grade, that's also an official!
Chen Dagongzi said to the little eunuch, and the man naturally couldn't make the decision, so he asked a person who looked like a shun officer, and the man nodded.
"Since he's going to stay, let's go together."
So Chen Dagongzi knelt with his father, waiting for the arrival of the monarch's father. After a while, I saw my father riding a tall horse and walking out of Chengtianmen under the escort of a group of inner guards.
The civil and military officials who greeted them outside the door were all holding wat and long, and the mountain shouted long live.
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, officials will only kneel at ceremonies such as sacrificing to the sky, and of course, there is an era to kneel, that is, "Jintai Holds the Edict" to kneel to receive the order. As for those who say to kneel, let him kneel with both hands on the wat board and see how he kneels.
Of course, Dashun also follows the rules of the Ming Dynasty, no need to kneel, of course, sinners must kneel, such as Chen Yan, although they did not regard themselves as sinners, but the officials of the previous dynasty are sins, of course, they believe that they will soon be the officials of the new dynasty.
Although he had already seen the officials of the former dynasty kneeling on the ground, Li Zicheng turned a blind eye and said:
"All the traitors of the former court who sacrificed the flag have brought?"
"Brought."
"Good!"
Li Zicheng waved his hand.
"It's all cut!"
As soon as the holy decree was issued, only the three-eyed cannon sounded, and the soldiers of the Shun army who were standing behind Chen Yan, Chen Dagongzi and others stepped forward one after another and stood behind them.
"Take off your clothes!"
This is a change of official robe?
Do you change your official robe first and then face the king?
Although their hands and feet were injured, Chen Yan and the others all took off their clothes happily, and then waited eagerly for the official robes of the new dynasty.
What about official robes?
When they were confused, Grand Master Chen asked.
"I, should I take it off too?"
"Take it off, it's a pity that this dress is dirty!"
"Ah, good ......"
Chen Dagongzi happily took off his clothes and waited with his father for the official robe. The Shun army behind him had already pressed them down. Chen Yan was also clasped by his arm and pressed to the ground, and he shouted loudly when he felt bad:
"What's going on? What's going on? I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty......"
"See Your Majesty, it was Your Majesty who ordered to sacrifice the flag with your heads!"
The man behind him laughed.
"Don't move, don't move, it's you who suffers, and when you kill your head, you may have to cut it again if you move,"
Sky!
I want to kill my head!
Chen Yan opened his mouth wide in surprise, this, is this reasonable?
No, isn't it going to be an official? Why was he caught and killed, and he still had to sacrifice the flag?
O God!
What kind of world is this?
"Dad, Dad, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"
With a "click" of his son's shout, Chen Yan saw something roll in front of him, blood red, and when he looked at it, he only felt dizzy for a while, this is his son!
Just got your head cut off!
"Son......"
Before Chen Yan could cry, the knife behind him slashed at his neck.
The hand rises and the knife falls, and the head falls to the ground!
The heads were cut off, tied with ropes to their hair, and then carried out, and the heads were to be hung from the walls of the inner city.
That's what Chen Yan and the other people's heads are used for, but they are just tools to deter people's hearts.
In order to raise military salaries for a while, whether they surrendered or did not, those lords, officials and internal officials of the Ming Dynasty were tortured, and the merchants couldn't run away, and they were even more ruthless, even to the point of knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow, and even ordinary people were also affected by all kinds of damages.
Merchants want to help, or kill their heads, and even groups of Shun troops will break into people's houses, extorting money, not to mention, if the people have a beautiful daughter-in-law and daughter, they will naturally take the sheep by hand, this time, just in the moat of the capital, I don't know how many women's corpses were left behind.
After encountering these, even those who are full of hope for Dashun will become desperate, and "no food" is not attractive to the people of the capital itself, and what kind of food is not paid for farming?
The officials and people of the capital who were plagued all remembered the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the people worshipped the first emperor of "let the thief split the corpse, don't hurt the people" at home, and at the same time, they remembered the Ming Dynasty, and as in the past, they posted notices in the capital, openly calling for opposition to Dashun and welcoming back to the prison country.
All this made Li Zicheng very annoyed, in addition to being annoyed, there were also some worries, those people were the old and young remnants of the previous dynasty, and they did not accept Dashun to seize the world in their bones, although such people have been in all dynasties, but they still have to kill some, otherwise the big guys will rise up against Dashun.
Although some people who exposed the posts have been killed these days, they have only killed some minions. Otherwise, it was some young scholars who were once insufficient, so what was the use of killing those people?
But today is different. The people I killed today are all big shots! Even the Shousuke of the previous dynasty was killed. This can always deter some people, today's sacrificial flag is to deter Xiaoxiao. It's just to tell those people.
The Great Shun Dynasty will kill people as well.
Of course, these days Dashun's soldiers have not killed less, but they have not directly cut off these people's heads in broad daylight like now.
At this moment, those people will definitely be afraid, so they can leave the capital with confidence, at least they don't have to worry about leaving on their front feet, and those Ming Dynasty officials on their back feet will rebel.
The goal had been achieved, and he didn't even glance at the corpses, but they were just a few dead people. Li Zicheng, who was riding on a tall horse, waved his big hand in high spirits.
"Let's go!"
