When Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, heard this, he glanced at the soldiers of the Yan Army behind him, and the soldiers fell to the ground together, crying: "Your Majesty has died." ”

The cry shook the sky, and the sound floated over Miyagi for a long time.

At this time, the conductor Huo Zhen came in from outside the hall, walked to King Yan's side, and whispered a few words to him, King Yan's eyes widened and said: "Don't chase it quickly, what can the husband say!" ”

When Huo Zhen heard this, he hurriedly retreated, came to the outside of the hall, ordered a sentry of men and horses, went out of Xuanwu Gate, and chased north along Bei'anmen Street.

Zhang Shixing and his entourage had just galloped out of the Taiping Gate, only to see a group of soap officials on the road ahead, armed with sticks, knives, guns, whips, hammers, chains, and various weapons, blocking the way. The one in the middle, tall, with a face like a knife and a color like fine iron, is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

When Tyrant Zhao saw Zhang Shixing, he stopped, and then saw Emperor Jianwen dressed as a monk, and sighed, a little confused, and was about to bow down, Zhang Shixing glanced at him and asked, "Tyranny Shangshu, what is this intention?" ”

Storm Zhao looked at Emperor Jianwen and said: "I heard that the Yan army entered the city, and then I heard the drums in the palace, and gathered the ministers, so I temporarily summoned the subordinates of the criminal department and went to King Qin." ”

After Emperor Jianwen heard this, his eyes were moist, and he was about to speak, when Zhang Shixing made a silent gesture. Emperor Jianwen was silent, and nodded to Zhao Zhao as a sign of encouragement.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind them, and the dust rose in the distance, and a team of Yan troops was about to chase closer.

Zhang Shixing said to Tyrant Zhao: "Tyranny Shangshu, bother you to block it, so that I have time to escape." ”

Storm Zhao arched his hand and said, "Storm Zhao obeys." After that, he ordered someone to get out of the way and let Zhang Shixing and the others pass. Then, he drew his steel knife and stood sideways in the middle of the road.

Huo Zhen led the troops to arrive, only to see a group of soap prison heads, holding water and fire sticks, chains, shackles and other things to block the way, in the middle of a second-grade civil official holding a steel knife, glaring at him angrily, feeling very funny, couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, pointing at Tyrant Zhao and others: "Wu Na man, you are not my opponent, quickly get out of the way, spare you from death." ”

Seeing that Huo Zhen was really contemptuous, he was furious, and scolded with his halberd: "Traitor, dare to spread wild in the capital, and don't get off the horse and die." With that, he shouted, and the dancing knife stepped forward and slashed at Huozhen. Huo Zhen gently flicked the horse's head, avoided his knife, took out a lasso from his arms, and with a wave of his hand, the noose was impartially put on Tyrant Zhao's body. Huo Zhen urged the horse to gallop, and Storm Zhao was suddenly dragged to the ground, dragged on the ground by the horse, his clothes were also worn out, and his body was drenched in blood.

As soon as these officials of the Criminal Department saw that Tyrant Zhao was captured, they hurriedly rushed forward to rescue, and Huo Zhen's subordinate Yan Jun stepped forward and cut them to the ground one by one like chopping melons and vegetables.

Huo Zhen ordered the people to escort Tyrant Zhao to the palace and handed it over to King Yan for disposal, and he led people to chase him down.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, came to the Fengtian Palace, looked at the gold brick paving in the hall, the dragon pattern giant pillar, the dragon caisson well, and saw the carved dragon throne on the seven-level high platform, the treasure elephant crane, the gold lacquer screen, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, in just a few years, the world was turned upside down, he pretended to be crazy and stupid to become the master here, giving orders, ruling the world, whether he wanted to thank his nephew, or should he scold him. If the father knew it underground, what would he think?

A group of civil ministers and military generals who cautiously followed behind King Yan did not pay attention to the uncertainties on his face, headed by the King of Zhou, followed by the King of Liao, and the rest of the people knelt on the ground together, kowtowed: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, since the young lord has no way, abandoning all the people, His Royal Highness the King of Yan is the son of Emperor Taizu Gao, dying of the world, and obeying the people, so the ministers and others respectfully invite His Royal Highness the King of Yan to ascend to the throne." ”

Yan Wang Zhu Di waved his hand and said: "Lone virtue is shallow, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility. This trip to Beijing was only to get rid of traitors and save the sect society, and he had no other intentions. Let's choose another meritorious. ”

King Zhou said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, you are the chief of the kings, you should be on the throne, for the sake of the people of the world, you don't have to shirk." ”

King Yan said: "This matter must not be done. You'd better choose another meritorious. Besides, if such a major event is not edicted to the world, how can it serve the people and all nations? If you have great talent, you can't draft this edict. Now that the Jingshi has decided to scatter and flee to the Chinese courtiers, I think it is better to wait a few days and wait for the situation to calm down, and then consider it in the long run. ”

When Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, heard this, he jumped up on the ground and said: "Father, this is easy to do, that Hanlin bachelor Fang Xiaoru was once the teacher of his sons, and he is a great talent. The sons and daughters arrested him and gave him an edict to his father. ”

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, told him: "Gao Xu, when he was leaving Beiping, Master Dao Yan once said to me that this Fang Xiaoru is unruly, but he must not ruin his life, otherwise the seeds of the world's scholars will be extinct." You have to treat it well. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "Erchen has his own measure. Then he went down to the temple.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu tied up Fang Xiaoru and brought him to the palace, and Fang Xiaoru scolded the traitor, crying while scolding, and the sound shook the palace.

Yan King Zhu Di hurriedly stepped forward to untie him, glared at Zhu Gaoxu, and shouted, "How can you be so rude to Mr. ”

Then he turned around and comforted Fang Xiaoru and said: "Mr. don't suffer yourself, you have to bring troops into Beijing alone, and you have to do it as a last resort, and you want to follow the example of Zhou Gongfu to become Wang Er." ”

Fang Xiaoru stared at Zhu Di's eyes and asked, "Where is King Cheng today?" ”

Zhu Di avoided his burning gaze and smiled bitterly: "He has died by self-immolation." The country cannot be without a king for a day, so please come and draft the edict. ”

Fang Xiaoru asked, "Who do you want to set up?" ”

Zhu Di didn't answer, and looked around at the ministers.

King Zhou took a step forward and said, "All the ministers unanimously elected King Yan to the throne as emperor. ”

Fang Xiaoru sneered and said to King Zhou: "Why don't you become the son of the king?" ”

King Zhou said impatiently: "The country depends on Changjun." ”

Fang Xiaoru pressed again step by step: "Why don't you become the king's brother?" ”

When King Zhou heard this, he opened his mouth and couldn't answer, and there was a dead silence in the hall.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, shouted: "This is a lonely family matter, and outsiders don't have to worry about it." After that, he ordered the pen to be sent left and right, and said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Dacai, you must be the one who drafts the world!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu took a step forward, brushed it out, pulled out half of the sword, and stared at Fang Xiaoru with both eyes.

Fang Xiaoru took the pen, ordered someone to unfold the holy decree, wrote a few big characters on it, and then threw the pen on the ground, crying: "Death and death, the edict cannot be grassed." ”

Zhu Di fixed his eyes and saw that the holy decree was written with the four big characters "Zhaozhao every day", isn't this the inscription of Yue Fei's temporary time, this is obviously cursing himself, he couldn't help but be angry, and said with a blue face: "You are not afraid of death, but you are not afraid of the nine clans?" ”

Fang Xiaoru stiffened his neck and said sharply: "Even the ten clans can help me?" ”

Zhu Di said angrily: "Okay, loneliness will fulfill you." Chen Ying, pull this Confucian down for me, arrest all his parents, wives and clans, and then count the protégés, make up ten clans, behead them all, make them die in front of Fang Xiaoru, let him die while watching them, and finally put him to death Ling Chi. ”

King Yan's subordinate Beiping made an appointment to Chen Ying, and came up to escort Fang Xiaoru down.

Early the next morning, outside the Jubao Gate of the Beijing Division, Chen Ying ordered someone to set up a high platform, tied Fang Xiaoru to a wooden pillar, and then ordered someone to escort his family members to the stage, and beheaded them one by one in front of him. In an instant, flesh and blood flew on the execution ground, and the screams were endless, and the onlookers all burst into tears.

When Fang Xiaoru's third brother Fang Xiaoyou was killed, Fang Xiaoru looked at him and couldn't help but cry. Because this younger brother is only weak and has not yet started a family, it is a pity to die at this moment. Fang Xiaoyou saw that he was covered in blood, his expression was aggrieved, and in order to comfort him, he said: "Why should Brother have tears rippling, take righteousness and become benevolent here." After thousands of years of Huabiao stigma, the soul of the brigade still arrives at home mountain. ”

After hearing this, Fang Xiaoru smiled reluctantly, and also recited a poem, responding to his younger brother: "The sky is chaotic, and the traitor has to plan for the country." The loyal ministers exchanged blood and tears with anger, so what could they ask for to be martyred. Woohoo woe, don't you me! ”

When his protégé Liao Yong was escorted to the stage, Liao Yong cried and worshiped on the ground, and the other party said to his filial piety: "Why is Mr. so bothered? ”

At this moment, Fang Xiaoru has been cut hundreds of times, but he is still not dead, he opened his weak eyes, recognized it as Liao Yong, and spit out a few words from his mouth with difficulty: "The kid has learned from me in the past few years, and he still doesn't know the right and wrong!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Liao Yong was cut off with a knife.

In the case of Fang Xiaoru, 873 people were killed, and the number of suicides was incalculable.

The criminal department Shangshu Tyrant Zhao was escorted to King Yan, and the King of Yan asked: "Tyrannical Shangshu, Fang Xiaoru was sentenced to the ten clans, as the criminal department Shangshu, do you think he is wronged?" ”

Tyrant Zhao jumped to his feet and scolded: "You usurper thief, Emperor Taizu Gao will never let you go in the spirit of the sky." ”

King Yan ordered to knock out the teeth of Storm Zhao's mouth left and right, and see how he scolded again.

Unexpectedly, although the teeth of this storm are gone, the mouth is still scolding vaguely.

King Yan also cut off his hands and feet, and the scolding was endless.

Seeing that he really wouldn't give in, King Yan waved his hand. His men stepped forward and cut off Tyrant Zhao's neck, and Tyrant Zhao stopped scolding.

Within a few days, he killed dozens of ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty, such as Zhuo Jing, the head of the household department, and Chen Di, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, implicating tens of thousands of people in his clan.

The generals under King Yan once again went up to persuade him, but King Yan refused to allow it, and said: "The generals want to get rich and noble, and put Lone on the fire to roast." ”

The generals retreated without a word.

The next day, King Zhou led the way and persuaded him again, but King Yan was still not allowed. 、

If this was the case for four consecutive days, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, felt that the time was ripe, so he rode the dragon chariot and took the full emperor's honor guard, and hurried to the palace from his former residence to prepare for the enthronement.

When the team came to Chengtianmen, a person suddenly appeared, blocked the way, and shouted at the Yanwang chariot: "Slow! ”

King Yan's eyes glared at this person, he was furious, and said in his heart: "Haven't you killed enough people in the past few days?" ”
