Chapter 112: Heroic Suicide
At the end of the day, Hua Nie's hurried footsteps sounded in the side hall.
Yang Zhong had already been waiting again, and as soon as he saw Hua Nie, he asked angrily, "Did He Qing, this bastard, arrest him?" ”
"Back to the emperor, now He Qing has been sent to the heavenly prison by Weichen, but there are only him and his housekeeper in the Taishi Mansion, and the other subordinates have long disappeared!"
Yang Zhong slapped the palace table angrily and snorted: "This He Qing is really bold, come and ......!" ”
"Calm the emperor's anger!" Before the words were finished, Xie Lingyun pulled Yang Zhong's sleeve and shook his head.
The pleasant female voice made Yang Zhong immediately become docile.
"What's wrong with Yun'er, did it scare you by the way?" Yang Zhong looked at her sincerely.
Xie Ling shook his head slightly, and then warmly supported Yang Zhong's cheek and smiled, "How come?" The slave really thinks that those who escaped are just some subordinates, they have no power and no power, you don't need to make such a big move, the top priority is that the emperor should put all your mind on He Qing, as long as He Qing is removed, then the court will be panicked, then the emperor will recall Yang Huajian to the capital, take advantage of the chaos to take back his military power, isn't this the best? ”
Hua Nie revealed compatibility: "What Miss Yun said is extremely true! Hua Nie is an important minister of the imperial court, as long as his charges are announced to the world. Then those ministers in the court will definitely be in chaos, and then the emperor will take this opportunity to regain military power and shock the world, so why worry about the big thing? ”
On the second day, the prison!
He Qing, who was in the prison, had long been disappointed, but not only did he not have the slightest fear, but he also bit his finger and wrote his last poem in blood in the cell.
At this time, Hua Nie led a heavy army to look forward, and when he saw this situation, he praised falsely: "Admire, you are dying and still have the leisure to write poems here, I really admire!" ”
He Qing didn't look back, and snorted and laughed: "If Da Chu still has a traitor like you in charge, then sooner or later it will lead to the destruction of the country!" ”
Hua Nie pointed at him and said shamelessly: "Taishi, you are really bold enough, you want your daughter to be the queen mother in the future, to stubbornly enforce the status of your He family, but you are delusional!" ”
Hearing Hua Nie's disgusting sneer, He Qing's aged body was like a knife, and life was worse than death.
He sighed bitterly, "Don't talk nonsense, kill if you want to!" ”
"Take it away!" After saying that, he set up a long knife, grabbed He Qing's body, and ran towards the execution ground.
On the execution ground, everyone watched.
When the saint in the eyes of the people was now reduced to a death row prisoner, they all showed sad expressions, and their eyes kept looking at He Qing.
One of them still sighed and said sincerely: "The Taishi is kind-hearted, and all of us have received the grain and grass given by the Taishi when we were poor, how could we commit a capital crime to such a good person?" ”
When the hour came, Hua Nie took out the holy decree and proclaimed loudly: "Declare the decree! Taishi He Qing did not receive the emperor's favor, deceived the king, and even made a premeditated crime, which is really an unforgivable mistake. But by the way, he remembered that he had made a meritorious contribution to the opening of the dynasty, and was specially sentenced to beheading to set an example! ”
Executioner, start sharpening your knives. At this moment, a people's protest resounded at the execution ground: "Taishi is a really good person, how can he commit chaos, you can't kill innocents indiscriminately, official." ”
"You can't kill innocents indiscriminately!" The people behind him protested.
He Qing took the lead and looked at it, it was a young woman who started the incident, "He Qing is a traitor of Da Chu, there is a difference between the outside and the inside, he has now committed such a heinous crime, and the saint has not cut it with a thousand knives, it is already a grace, if you foolish people dare to talk nonsense and disturb the execution ground, then don't blame the official for being ruthless!" ”
That stupid woman is also dying. She tried all her strength, and glared at Hua Nie with extremely dissatisfied eyes: "Nonsense, Taishi is merciful, how can he be a traitor to Dachu, I think Taishi will end up today, he must have suffered from the wicked, and that wicked man is you!" ”
Seeing this, Hua Nie was furious, and immediately took out a flying knife, which resulted in the woman's life.
"This official said that whoever dares to make trouble in the execution ground again, this is the end!" Hua Nie said fiercely.
Looking at the poor woman, the people behind her fell to their knees in fright, and said no more.
At this time, He Qing opened his mouth, how could he have a trace of begging for mercy: "Everyone, I am grateful for your kindness, but I died for Da Chu, what regrets do I have?" You don't have to die for me! ”
"The hour has come, slash!" Hua Nie dropped the order.
The knife was slowly raised, and He Qing's head was about to hit the ground. At that critical moment, a majestic sound came from a distance.
It turned out that it was Yang Hong who came on horseback. When he arrived at the execution ground, he was angry and said urgently: "Master Hua, Taishi is an important minister of the former emperor, how can he be dealt with so easily and hastily?" Moreover, there are still doubts in this case, and it should be handed over to Dali Temple for verification before making a decision! ”
Hua Nie snorted and made a cold face: "Hasty, Your Highness, the crime He Qing committed is already human and material evidence, do you still want to protect him, Your Highness?" ”
Yang Hong bit his lip dissatisfiedly, and then used a rigorous tone: "This king is just telling the truth, how can he protect it?"
Hua Nie smiled treacherously, he took out the holy out, and his face showed nine points of majesty: "The holy will is here, if anyone wants to save him, he will be guilty of the same crime!" With that, he snorted angrily again, put down the holy decree, stretched out his hand, and said, "Continue the execution!" ”
"Don't!" At this moment, Yang Hong was completely crazy, he lost his reason and rushed to the execution ground, but he was stopped by the soldiers above, he tried all his strength to struggle, but to no avail.
"Master Hong, I can get your trust and the old man is content. I have been loyal to the court all my life, and I will never become a ghost under the sword of this traitor. These are He Qing's heartfelt words before his death.
"Hurry up!" Hua Nie's eyes were full of murderous aura.
"Master Hong, we'll see you in the next life!" At this moment, with his faith, he struggled away from the two puppeteers behind him, and tightly, he closed his eyes and slammed his head against the stake with all his might, resulting in his sixty-two years of life.
"No!" Watching He Qing leave the world so tragically, Yang Hong couldn't help but leave tears.
At that time, hundreds of people were hurt and knelt on the ground to mourn.
On the entire execution ground, at this moment, there was a completely sad atmosphere. But at this moment, Hua Nie stood up happily and laughed in a treacherous voice: "Ha ......" When he was crazy and happy, he didn't expect that the trace of blood that He Qing left on the stake before his death was at his feet at this time.
"W-what the hell is going on?" Hua Nie was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and his expression became frightened and flustered.
Looking at the traitor's embarrassed appearance, he finally gave Yang Hong and the onlookers a sense of relief.
Hua Nie's heart was already angry, but at the same moment, the blood stained his body again, this scene could frighten his soul, he hurriedly retreated on the execution ground, and said quickly: "Quickly clean up the execution ground, quickly clean up the execution ground!" ”
Go to the Cold Palace.
In this miserable room, He Yueyi was already disheveled, disheveled, and unrecognizable.
There was no longer a trace of luster on her face, and under the baptism of wind and rain, she knelt down and sighed in the sky: "Dad, my daughter is not filial and has not been able to take care of you!" But don't worry, my daughter is here to accompany you! After that, she took out the hosta and said with tears in her eyes, "Dad, we'll see you on Huangquan Road." After saying that, she mercilessly stuck the hosta into her neck, and at the moment of death, He Yueyi left a sweet smile.
Blood splattered, poor He Yueyi, who was only two or three years old, passed away miserably in this cold palace!
In the afternoon of the same day, the news of He Yueyi's suicide had been transferred to the palace.
"Now that He Qing is dead, this can finally be regarded as removing a big trouble for the emperor!" Hua Nie smiled happily.
Yang Zhong smiled, his face showed a bit of luster, "What Hua Ai said is very true, but this Yang Hong dares to make trouble in the execution ground is really bold enough, Shun will send troops to put him under house arrest within today, Hua Aiqing will also go to Shun to draft a decree for Shun and summon King Chang'an back to Beijing!" ”
"Yes!"
Hua Nie retreated, Xie Lingyun suddenly became squeamish, only to see her lying in Yang Zhong's arms, and she did not hesitate to be coquettish: "Emperor Chao, this He Yueyi is dead, when will the slave and maid become your woman openly?" Imperial ......"
Yang Zhong smiled sweetly and kissed his forehead for a moment: "Don't worry, when Yang Huajian returns to Beijing, you will be the first day of this Great Chu!" ”
"Concubine, thank you to the emperor!" Her tone was sharp.
Then, she slowly lay in Yang Zhong's arms, closed her eyes, and showed a sweet smile on her face, but under the silence, she laughed in her heart, revealing an ugly face: "Jianye, everyone says that you are kind, but when Yun'er loved you so much, you didn't look back, and Yun'er suffered back then, and it was time for you to taste it." ”
Hurry up, after a month of years, the will was finally delivered to Yang Huajian's hands.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chang'an, since you have received the will, then hurry up and pack your things and set off with me!" The envoy said.
"I'm going to call my brothers!" As soon as Yang Huajian turned around, he was grabbed by the envoy with one hand.
"Your Highness, the Holy Decree only said that only you will be summoned alone, so they must continue to stay here and guard the frontier!" The envoy said solemnly.
At this time, the deputy general walked over, his hands on Yang Huajian's double construction, and said in a sincere tone: "Your Highness, thank you for taking care of your brothers in the past two years, you can rest assured, brothers take good care of themselves, go back quickly!" ”
"Good brother!" Yang Huajian patted the deputy on the shoulder, and he looked at the deputy with a trusting gaze.
"Your Highness, don't waste time, come with the old minister!" The envoy urged.
"Take care!" Yang Huajian nodded, then turned around and said politely: "I've been waiting for a long time, please!" ”
Walking step by step, Yang Huajian at this time had quietly fallen into contemplation: "The Holy Lord is already afraid of me, how can he be in a hurry to call me back to Beijing this time, could it be that something big has happened in the palace, could it be that they are the Taishi?" Not good......"
