Chapter 553: The Time Has Come
In the deepest part of the prison, in a cell at the end, a middle-aged man was sitting on the kang with a sad and desperate look on his face, he had been here for many months, waiting for news of his beheading every day.
Every day is peaceful, but the calm is only this appearance, his heart is so uneasy every day, but when he woke up today, he looked at the dark sky, which seemed to be different from the clear sky in the past few days, at this time Mu Shang was a little apprehensive in his heart, he always felt that this day seemed to have finally arrived, maybe this is not a punishment for him, but a relief.
Sure enough, after a short time of breakfast, there should not be any officers and soldiers to inspect at this time, but faintly, Mu Shang suddenly heard a voice, it seemed that someone was walking in his direction, Mu Shang sat cross-legged on the bed, put his hands on his knees calmly, closed his eyes, tidied up his clothes, and after getting up today, he also deliberately washed his face to make himself look more energetic.
Sure enough, as he expected, the footsteps became tighter and tighter after a while, and finally the group stopped in front of him, and the expression on Mu Shang's face sitting on the bed seemed calm and calm at this time, and it seemed that he had expected it a long time ago.
"The emperor has an order, and the criminal ministers accept the order."
Qin Zhao's personal guard Chen Li was standing in front of the door of the cell at this time, the expression on his face was extremely serious, and he looked upright, Mu Shang did not kneel down to receive the order as usual when he heard his name, this was also the last moment of his life, and he was powerless to return to heaven if he didn't kneel.
Since his death was doomed, it was better to leave himself a little dignity at the last moment of death, Mu Shang just sat on the bed and ignored the group of people who came.
Seeing this situation, he didn't blame anything more, but the expression on his face still didn't change in the slightest, he was ordered by the emperor to come to this cell to take this Mu Shang out and behead him, such a criminal can do this kind of rebellious and rebellious thing, how can it be said that the behavior is unforgivable.
But in the end, he is a bold person, who can still save the last trace of dignity for himself at this moment of life and death, Chen Li no longer cares about anything, seeing Mu Shang sitting on the bed and ignoring it, Chen Li directly took it out and even began to read it.
"The former prime minister admired businessmen, in the dynasty for more than 20 years, has made outstanding contributions to the protection of the foundation of the great country, according to the law of the country, should have been rewarded, there are still a few years to retire and return to the hometown, to live in the old age, but the crime of admiring businessmen, dare to have a rebellious heart, colluded with the ministers in the court, secretly conspired with the queen mother to rebel, and now when the rebellion is made, the plan is exposed to be aborted, and the criminal ministers and businessmen will bear the scolding of everything."
Reading this, Chen Li stopped, looked at the merchants in front of him, listening to these words, the expression on his face was always calm, he did not deny these words at all, nor did he resist at all, just calmly bear these words, but this is also what he deserves, Chen Li raised his eyelids and glanced at it, and his eyes fell back to this holy decree again.
"Now, the rebellion has subsided, but the crime of rebellion is unforgivable, according to the laws and regulations, I have made meritorious contributions to the stability of the DPRK for many years, and I have allowed the merchants to live for many months. Chin this! ”
After the establishment read the holy decree, he put it away, put it away, put his hands behind his back, and looked condescendingly at Mu Shang, who was still sitting on the bed indifferent.
It can be seen that Mu Shang seems to have freshened up a good day today, and he doesn't see the light of day in this cell on weekdays, everyone is sloppy, did this Mu Shang have long expected that there will be a holy decree today?
"Come on, take Master Mu out, and ask for a kill at noon!"
Under Chen Li's order, he finally saw Mu Shang's body tremble slightly, and his eyes also showed a sad look at this time. The parents couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, in fact, this Mu Daren still made a lot of contributions during his reign, and when the emperor was still there, he did assist the emperor to complete a lot of work.
If the rules and regulations in the past few years wait until the age is up, retire from the position, and return to the hometown to retire for the rest of his life, he will have no worries about food and clothing, and he will have enough food and clothing, and the court will regularly give him a salary every month.
Such a beautiful retirement life, but this Mu adult is not willing to enjoy it, and he is still planning a rebellion here, which is really self-inflicted, and the poor person must have something to hate.
Chen Li gave this order, and soon the two teams of soldiers behind entered the cell, one left and one right, and lifted Mu Daren up, Mu Shang was very sharp at this time, got off the bed and put on his shoes, his face was fearless, and he didn't seem to have the slightest look of regret.
Chen Li shook his head silently in his heart, and sighed, today's emperor is not as good as the previous emperor, the former emperor was kind and mellow, although he knew that there were many ministers in the court, on the surface he was flattering, but in private he was a lot of looting and burning of the people, but the former emperor was kind-hearted, and these ministers were just turning a blind eye to the merits of the court, and did not punish them too much, as long as they didn't make too much trouble, they were allowed to go.
But now that the emperor is old and hot-blooded, and he has not been in office for a long time, it is time to clean up these remnants of the court, and this Mu Daren is the first to bear the brunt.
Watching the soldiers put Mu Shang out, Chen Li shook his head and quickly followed, this noon is coming soon, today Mu Shang is going to be beheaded, this news has already spread everywhere in the capital, I don't know how many people will stay on this guillotine, watching this old and cunning Mu Shang's head fall.
Step by step, he walked out of this cell, walked outside the cell, and finally saw the sky, as he expected, as he saw in the small window of the cell, the sky today was gloomy, although there was no sun, it didn't seem so hot, but it made people feel depressed and suffocated.
Mu Shang finally had a trace of remorse in his heart at this time, if it weren't for his too much greed, at such an age, he was still plotting rebellion behind his back with his sister who was the queen mother, colluding with the ministers in the court, trying to win the world for their Mu family, and he would not have fallen to the point where he is now.
Walking out of the cell, Mu Shang was a little cowardly, he looked at the outside light, he actually felt a little uncomfortable, after staying in the cell for a long time, he actually felt that he was only suitable for staying in these dark and damp places, with snakes, insects, rats and ants as companions.
This bright place, it stood up, but it felt that it was out of place here, Mu Shang sighed helplessly, it was too late to say anything now, if it wasn't for Qin Zhao, a stinky boy, pretending to be sick and letting his plan with his sister fail, why would he fall to the point where he made thousands of people laugh at it today, the more he thought about it, the more indignant he felt in his heart.
