Two days later, it was the day when the execution of the relatives of these rebels began to kill the king.

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Liu Wentai and others were all escorted to the execution ground, where they will witness the execution of their relatives!

These murderers who killed Emperor Hongji for their own interests in the past will also face the price of having their loved ones killed!

Just like the pain they brought to Zhu Houzhao, the prince of the Ming Dynasty!

The first batch is Liu Jian's relatives!

These relatives of the Liu family, who used to be powerful under the protection of Liu Jian, were now just prisoners under the order, and they were taken to kneel on the execution ground.

At that time, the cold wind was cold and the snowflakes were flying, and Liu Jian also saw his relatives shivering in the snow in prison clothes like himself.

Liu Jian even saw his eldest son, Liu Dong, who was a foreigner in the Ministry of War, kneeling in the snow, Liu Jian, who had always doted on his eldest son, couldn't bear his son being implicated by himself, and immediately cried out heartbreakingly: "I'm sorry for you for my father!" A father should not do such a wicked thing! ”

At this time, Liu Jian's relatives only cared about begging for mercy and didn't hear Liu Jian's cry, and they were executed in a blink of an eye!

Click!

Suddenly, the head fell to the ground!

The blood melted into the white snow, and it also incorporated the sins owed by the Liu clan.

"Bring it up again!"

The official of the Criminal Department in charge of the supervision and beheading shouted an order, and another group of Liu clans were escorted up, and Liu Dong was in this batch, and he also shouted desperately: "Spare your life!" The minister still doesn't want to die, the minister is willing to sever the father-son relationship with Liu Jian, the traitor who killed the king, and I hope Your Majesty will spare your life! ”

Liu Dong's cry was naturally useless.

"Slash!"

As soon as the supervisor gave the order, another group of heads fell to the ground, and gurgling blood splattered into the snowflakes in the air, like plum blossoms in winter.

……

At this time, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao was holding a Zhu pen, looking at the list of batches that needed to be colluded with by himself, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The people on these lists are all relatives of the anti-party.

As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao is in charge of the life and death of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, and these people naturally need him to collude.

Although this gave Zhu Houzhao a sense of satisfaction with power, it also made him feel that the pen in his hand weighed a thousand pounds.

Zhu Houzhao knew that every time he decided now, it meant that a group of heads would fall to the ground.

He had to admit that these people did not participate in the murder of the king, and it could even be said that they were unaware, but according to the national laws and values of this era, these people should be punished.

Moreover, Zhu Houzhao also knew that since he lived in the era of this rule and became the emperor of this era, if he wanted to protect his life, if he wanted to make the Ming Empire not collapse or even better in his hands, he would have to be soft!

What's more, really look into it, none of these people are innocent, they formed the gentry group behind these anti-parties, they are the most direct exploiters of the common people of the Ming Dynasty, and these anti-parties also chose to kill the king for their interests, it can be said that the death of Emperor Hongzhi was fundamentally caused by these people who formed the gentry group.

Now, if Zhu Houzhao wants to suppress the gentry group, and to make the empire less devoured by the powerful, the easiest way is to kill!

If you don't take advantage of the legitimate reason to kill a group now, you really won't have much chance to kill them in the future!

If you want to be innocent, wouldn't the common people who died under the enslavement of these people be even more innocent?

Emperor Hongzhi is not innocent?

No matter!

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Zhu Houzhao silently recited it three times in his heart, and finally resolutely continued to tick off these lists of those who urgently needed to be executed.

Every time Zhu Houzhao concludes a batch, a group of anti-party relatives are escorted to the execution ground, and then with a click, a group of heads fall to the ground, and the gentry who are parasitic on most of the ordinary people in the empire who exploit labor resources will kill another group.

Although this method is rough and cruel, it is indeed very efficient.

You know, even if a single slave of these big squires' families is a slave, it takes the income of hundreds of tenant farmers to support them a year, or even more.

Li Dongyang also saw the scene of his fourth brother Li Dongming being executed at this time.

Xie Qian's eldest son, Xie Pi, who became a Tanhualang in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi by virtue of his father's status, and Xie Qian's brother Xie Di, who collected wealth for the Xie family in the Liangguang Sea, were all executed.

Liu Wentai and other relatives such as Liu Daxia were executed!

At this time, these people finally experienced the pain of losing their loved ones, and also let the entire ruling class of the Ming Dynasty know the consequences of killing the king!

After Yongle, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were so kind to these people that they forgot the consequences of disobeying the emperor.

In the past, Liu Jian's wife dared to show her wealth in front of Zhu Houzhao, but now she can't buy back her life even if she spends another 60,000 taels.

……

At the same time as executing these accomplices, Wang Yue, who was in urgent need of Ling Chi, was also escorted to the execution ground specially built for him.

The officials of the inner court of the twenty-four yamen of the Ming Dynasty all gathered here on this day to sit and watch Wang Yue be executed by Ling Chi, including Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and other eight tigers who are now in high power.

Wang Yue looked at the eunuchs who looked at him one by one like watching a play, and felt extremely uncomfortable, especially Liu Jin, who was not even worthy of lifting shoes for him in the past, now put on his old outfit and replaced the position of the eunuch in charge of his own celebrant seal, when Liu Jin looked at him and smiled, Wang Yue felt even more like he was slapped in the face.

However, at this time, Wang Yue could no longer change any facts, and he only had a thousand knives to wait!

The executioner netted Wang Yue with a net, and squeezed the fat Wang Yue vigorously, until Wang Yue's fat flesh was squeezed out one lump after another, and at this time, the executioner had already taken out a knife, and cut at a piece of fat protruding from Wang Yue's chest like a surgeon in later generations, and immediately the blood flowed like an infusion, so painful that Wang Yue bared his teeth and screamed:

"Ahh It hurts! ”

Coupled with the cold wind blowing, the already cut person hurts, and now when it is poured into Wang Yue's wound, it suddenly makes Wang Yue's pain increase tenfold like sprinkling salt!

Wang Yue kept crying, and at the same time began to instinctively continue to beg for mercy: "Spare your life! The emperor spares his life! The old slave is guilty! ”

Wang Yue's cries became louder and louder, resounding throughout the entire execution ground.

At first, Liu Jin and the other eunuchs were still a little excited to see the tragic situation of Wang Yue, who was going to put him to death in the past, but after watching it for a long time, they also felt afraid, and secretly glad that they did not stand on Wang Yue's side and oppose His Majesty.

Wang Yue cried for three days before he gradually stopped crying, and these eunuchs also watched for three days, and after Wang Yue was executed, all the eunuchs in the entire inner court were ten times more afraid of Zhu Houzhao than before.

In addition, Zhang Yu, Lu He, Zhang Zhao and other former eunuchs were also sentenced to death one after another!

And next is Liu Wentai, the cabinet minister of the foreign court.
