The first snow of the end of the year fell, and this snow fell heavily and violently, but today was the day of the execution.

Early in the morning, prisoners were taken out of their cells, shackled and shackled, and put into prison vans, three hundred and sixty-seven prisoners, each of whom was an official before they became death row inmates, so they were treated as a separate prisoner in a prison car.

This is not a good treatment, and if they had a choice, they would rather not be in a prison car for the rest of their lives, because it is a prison car to hell.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Daqian has never executed so many prisoners on death row at one time, and this is a precedent since the founding of the country.

When the prisoner carts walked through the street, the street was already crowded with people, and a large number of soldiers with spears in their hands were actively maintaining order.

The goose-feather snowflakes kept falling, and the chill enveloped the land, and if it was usual, people would have taken refuge in their homes to roast on the fire, but today the people do not seem to feel cold, and they want to see these man-eating demons being guillotined one by one, only in this way can they vent the hatred in their hearts.

There was a sudden shout from the crowd on the street: "You also have today!" ”

"God has finally opened his eyes!"

"Stone them to death!"

A rotten egg flew out and smashed on the head of the prisoner in a prisoner car, so small stones, rotten vegetable leaves, and mud were thrown out of the hands of the people.

The soldiers who escorted the prisoners on death row did not stop them, they all knew that the people needed to vent their anger in their hearts, and whether the people had been persecuted and exploited by the corrupt officials or not, they all hated the corrupt officials to the core, and this was the same hatred and hatred.

In order to execute the 367 death row inmates, the government set up a special place to execute the prisoners, and the huge execution ground was surrounded by a circle of trenches and a fence, and at every other foot on the inner edge of the fence, a soldier stood guard, and the onlookers could only be tortured outside the trench.

At their destination, the death row inmates were escorted to the execution ground one by one and knelt side by side, each of them carrying a wooden sign with the word "beheading" written on one side and their names on the other.

Three hundred and sixty-seven death row prisoners, a large area of black oppression, in the middle of the execution ground is a boxy execution platform, on the north side is the prison beheading platform, on the platform set up a shed, in which sit the prison officer, on both sides of the standing soldiers, the flags planted on both sides of the prison beheading platform are blown by the cold wind.

Today is not a good day for executions, the sky is overcast, it is snowing, and the wind is cold, but the day has long been set and cannot be changed.

Most of the death row inmates have been paralyzed by fright, and one by one they are so frightened that they have no master, and only a few of them are still conscious.

The hourglass on the prison beheading platform had bottomed out, and the prison officer sent by the Criminal Department stood up and shouted: "The hour has come, ready to be executed—"

Ten death row inmates were escorted to the execution table and pressed to their knees, and behind each of them stood an executioner with a large waist and a round waist, holding a wine bowl in one hand and a ghost-headed knife in the other.

"Verify your identity!" With the order of the decapitator, the escort soldiers began to identify the prisoners who were about to be beheaded.

"The identities of death row inmates are all correct!"

The overseer took out an arrow from the lottery holder and threw it out: "Chop—"

After the executioners drank the wine in the bowl, they smashed the bowl and swung the devil's head knife······

The end of this case dealt a heavy blow to the old scholars of the former dynasty who had just wanted to re-emerge, so that the old scholars were slumped from then on, and the new scholars began to slowly rise again, trying to replace the old scholars.

Three days later, at night, Kou Qianzhi, who was meditating in the Taoist temple, became weaker and weaker, and gradually lost his vitality.

After dawn, his disciples and grandsons found that he had passed away, but his face was still lifelike, no different from a normal person.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Junsheng got the report of Kou Qian's immortal death, thought for a long time, issued an order to remember, and in accordance with the promise he promised Kou Qianzhi, canonized Dongfang Chen as the national teacher, Pei Jin succeeded Shangshu as the left servant, Gao Xiu succeeded as Shangshu's right servant, transferred Xue An to the military department, and ordered Gao Xu to be the general of Zhennan and the military governor of Jinghuai.

In the evening, Zhao Junsheng returned to the inner palace and saw a few children playing, but he didn't see Mulan, so he came to Gong'e and asked, "Where is the queen?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Niang Niang is in the pavilion by the lake!"

Zhao Junsheng's eyes kicked and he said angrily: "On such a cold day, why did you let her stay alone by the lake?" If the queen freezes out, I won't be able to spare you! ”

"Your Majesty spares your life!" The eunuchs and ladies were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

"Humph!" Zhao Junsheng snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.

After a while, he found Mulan in the pavilion by the lake, she was wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak and stood quietly by the lake looking at the frozen lake.

Zhao Junsheng walked behind her and gently hugged her into his arms, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that old friends from the past have left us one by one, and suddenly it's a little sad!"

Zhao Junsheng comforted: "The moon is cloudy and sunny, and it is a natural law for people to have good and bad luck, birth, old age, sickness and death, and no one can avoid it, and what we have to do is to face it more positively, live every day to the fullest, be happy, and do what you want to do in your lifetime, so that life will not leave regrets!" No matter what, I will always be with you! We grow old together until we grow old! ”

Hua Mulan closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth coming from Zhao Junsheng's body.

I don't know how long it took, the voice of a eunuch broke the warmth of the two, "Your Majesty, General Gao Xiu asks to see you!" ”

Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng separated, "Brother Junsheng, let's go back, don't let Gao Xiu wait for a long time!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Junsheng took Mulan's hand and walked back.

He and Mulan returned to the inner palace, and Gao Xiu was waiting at the door.

"It seems that General Gao has something urgent to report, I'll go back first, and the children and I will wait for you to have dinner!" Mulan confessed.

Zhao Junsheng nodded, "Okay!" ”

When Mulan walked away, Zhao Junsheng tilted his head to Gao Xiu: "Go to the imperial study and say!" ”

The two entered the imperial study one after the other, the eunuchs lit a charcoal fire in the imperial study, and brought tea, Zhao Junsheng and Gao Xiu each drank a cup of hot tea, and their bodies warmed up.

"What's the urgent matter of entering the palace so late?"

Gao Xiu took out a report and handed it over: "I just received an urgent fast horse report from Jincheng, Shiyin and Le Liyang have failed!" ”

Zhao Junsheng took the report and opened it and read it quickly.

It turned out that since the two brothers Shiyin and Leliyang quietly sneaked back to Tuguhun with the weapons, armor, bows, crossbows and arrows that Qianguo supported them, they began to gather the old department, and at the same time contacted another cousin, Fu Nian, and the three of them quickly gathered 20,000 horses.

But this matter was soon learned by Mu Liyan, the king of Tuyuhun, and he immediately sent troops to attack the three brothers Shiyin, Leliyang and Funian, and the two sides fought from time to time for more than two years.

At the beginning, although the strength of the three brothers was not as good as that of Mu Liyan, the three brothers worked together and could fight with Mu Liyan on a par with them.

But since a year ago, Mu Liyan sent people to buy the strategists around Fu Nian, and the strategists got Mu Liyan's heavy money and promises, so they separated Fu Nian, Shi Yin, and Le Liyang.

Gradually, Fu Nian and Shi Yin and Le Liyang brothers became estranged, and began to quarrel over some issues of benefit distribution, and broke up unhappily many times.

At the end of last year, heavy snow fell in the land of Qianghu, and many livestock froze to death.

A month ago, the situation in Tuyuhun has undergone major changes, Mu Liyan used a plan to divert Fu Nian, and attacked the two brothers Shi Yin and Le Liyang with heavy troops, Fu Nian received the news to lead troops to rescue, but was dissuaded by his advisers, why not sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let Mu Liyan and Shi Yin, Le Liyang fight to the death, and then sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman?

Fu Nian listened to the dissuasion and advice of the strategist, remembered the contradiction between himself and the brothers Shiyin and Leliyang, and ruthlessly did not go to the rescue.

In this battle, because Fu Nian failed to bring reinforcements in time, the brothers Shiyin and Leliyang were defeated by Mu Liyan due to lack of strength, and the troops suffered heavy losses, livestock, population and territory were all lost, and the two brothers could only flee to Longzhi, if it were not for Yang Nandang of Longzhi and Jincheng Garrison to shelter behind, I am afraid that their brothers would have died.

After Mu Liyan cleaned up the two brothers, Shiyin and Leliyang, he turned his spearhead to Fu Nian and began a large-scale attack on Fu Nian.

Only then did Fu Nian realize how stupid his previous decision was, if the three brothers did not form an alliance to fight the enemy together, they would not be able to defeat Mu Liyan at all.

Fu Nian was betrayed by his advisers, and in the battle with Mu Liyan, he led his troops to charge and kill, while his advisers fled with a small number of soldiers and horses in the rear, which immediately triggered the rout of the army, and Mu Li Yan took advantage of the situation to storm and chase and kill, Fu Nian was killed on the spot, and his men were either killed or captured.

Mu Liyan, who had beaten away the brothers Shiyin and Leliyang, and solved Fu Nian, reunited Tuyuhun, but he did not stop the pace of the expedition, and when he learned the news that the brothers Shiyin and Leliyang were hiding in Longzhi, he led a group of soldiers and horses to attack Longzhi at night.

Yang Nandang led his troops to resist Mu Liyan's attack, but the soldiers in Longzhi City were panicked under the sneak attack and could not organize too many troops to resist, so he could only order his son Yang He to lead troops to escort Shi Yin and Le Liyang to escape, and he led his troops to stay behind to block Mu Liyan.

In this battle, Yang Nandang was killed in battle, and more than 2,000 soldiers under his command were killed, and only his son Yang He fled to Jincheng with dozens of soldiers to protect Shiyin and Le Liyang.

After reading the report, Zhao Junsheng thought for a long time and said to Gao Xiu: "It seems that it's time to solve Tuyuhun!" ”

Gao Xiu clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, if I want to send troops to Tuyuhun, the best time to send troops is between February and March next year!" ”
