No one paid attention to Hong Rui, and the officers and soldiers standing outside the execution ground only stood indifferently like sculptures in the biting cold wind at this time.

In their opinion, it is undoubtedly a very exciting thing for these officials and gentlemen who used to be so angry in front of them that they never saw themselves executed.

The executioners were also silent and only held the handle of the knife, at most occasionally bent their necks, and some executioners only thought in their hearts: "In this life, I have cut down Jiangyang thieves and murderous demons, but I have never cut the Jinshi master, and I don't know if the necks of these golden nobles are also made of gold, and the knife will not break if it is cut, otherwise these Jinshi masters will not usually be so high, as if they are really Wenqu stars in the sky." ”

Gu Dayong only stood on the prison beheading platform and looked indifferently at everything in front of him, as a minister, he was usually fed up with the contempt of these Qingliu civil officials.

Now, he can despise these people without any scruples, yes, he now despises these Qingliu civil officials from the heart and spiritually: "What a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, what a disciple of a saint, but a student of anti-thieves!" ”

Hong Rui looked at everything in a panic, and seeing that no one paid attention to him, he could only continue to shout loudly: "I want to see Your Majesty!" I want to see Your Majesty! ”

Like Hong Rui, Liu Yu also shouted to see Zhu Houzhao.

However, Gu Dayong was not in the mood to let these Qingliu civil officials mess around, and glared at him with a stern look, and the officers and soldiers below became even more stern, forcibly dragging Hong Rui and Liu Yu to the middle of the ten cavalrymen like dead dogs.

At the same time, the other Qingliu civil officials were also forced to kneel on the execution ground, and each knelt in front of each executioner, with a whiteboard inserted in his back, and his hands tied behind his back.

These Qingliu civil officials also guessed what their fate would be next, and some even cried directly: "Woo! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! ”

Some Qingliu civil officials shouted: "Your Majesty, spare your life!" Ma Gefu, spare your life! Father-in-law Liu, spare your life! I was really wrong! I shouldn't have interceded for Li Dongyang, I shouldn't! ”

What's more, I started to pee unconsciously!

Hong Rui was now pressed to the ground by five sergeants, because it had only rained, the ground was cold, and wet, when Hong Rui was pressed to the ground, he suddenly felt like ten thousand arrows piercing his back, and he couldn't help but shiver a little.

But Hong Rui couldn't struggle to get up, and the five sergeants pressed him firmly.

At the same time, five iron chains were also put around his limbs and neck successively, and they were still tied very tightly, and the cold iron chains clamped Hong Rui to death.

Hong Rui could now guess what punishment he was going to face, and he couldn't help crying: "Oh my God! This official is also a minister of Hanlin Cichen, the future minister! Why do you do this to your own officials? Whining! How can such torture be used on this officer! ”

Liu Yu, the superintendent of the imperial history, struggled directly, like a woman who was about to be forcibly humiliated, and cried: "No! You can't do that! This official is an official of speech, you can't do this to me! Gefu, father-in-law, the lower official is wrong! Xia Guan is wrong! Your Majesty! Spare the ministers! ”

The whole execution ground can be described as a wail, but in fact, at this time, the officers and soldiers who carried out the execution have not done anything.

Gu Dayong was also speechless about this, thinking that these so-called hopes for the future of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called moral and intelligent character and intelligence are the best, and in the future, the pillars of the empire who are either Gefu or Shangshu will not be better than ordinary people in the face of death!

At this time, the execution had not really begun.

And before that.

When Zhu Houzhao conspired to execute the death penalty of these Qingliu civil officials, he also issued an edict, that is, he ordered the civil and military officials and ministers in Beijing to go to the execution ground every day from now on to observe the execution, and they must write down their feelings after watching and submit them to the Secretary of General Affairs in the form of a recital, and when the time comes, the cabinet will review and reward those who feel deeply, and those who do not feel it will be deposed or even executed on the grounds of sympathy for the anti-thieves!

Zhu Houzhao naturally did this so that all the officials could see for themselves the fate of betraying the king and killing the king!

When the time was approaching, the civil and military officials and courtiers inside and outside also arrived at the execution ground one after another, preparing to watch the execution.

The resolution to kill Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Wang Yue and other rebels was requested by them, so they couldn't say anything at this time.

For the civil officials of the turbidity stream, it is naturally good to take advantage of this to frustrate the sharpness of the clear stream, but the price is slightly greater, but who let their teachers rebel and kill the king.

As far as the military attaches are concerned, the execution of these Qingliu civil officials can undoubtedly weaken the power of the civilian clique, and most of the turbidity civil officials who remain get along with the military attaches relatively friendly, and the military attaches are naturally happy to see the Qingliu civil officials executed, at least they will not rebel because of Zhu Houzhao's wanton execution of these Qingliu civil officials.

As far as the ministers are concerned, they are the emperor's retainers, and they are natural enemies with the civil officials of the foreign courts, so they are naturally more willing to see these Qingliu civil officials executed.

At this moment, these Qingliu civil officials realized how isolated and helpless they were.

The Hanlin attendant, who had been dragged by five arm-thick chains and was lying on the ground like a literary young man and receiving the cold wind, only found out at this moment that the Qingliu civil officials were just vassals of the imperial power, and once they were abandoned by the imperial power, the so-called former princes, the so-called Qinggui Wenchen, and the so-called two Jinshi were also worthless at this time.

Hong Rui helplessly cried for a while and laughed for a while, with an extremely rich expression.

The hundred officials who watched the execution on the execution ground saw his expression clearly, and seeing Hong Rui in such pain, they also felt the terrible consequences of killing the king, but they were really just implicated accomplices! Not even an accomplice.

Liu Yu was still wailing, and after seeing so many officials near the execution ground on his head, he shouted even more: "Adults, help me!" Help me! I don't want to die! ”

No officials paid any attention to him, because they were the ones who were sent to the execution ground by these officials in order to protect themselves and to draw a clear line with the opposing party.

Zhu Houzhao also appeared at the execution ground at this time, but he was in the capacity of Weifu and did not follow these civil officials, but secretly hid in the pavilion opposite the execution ground, observing the every move of these officials watching the execution.

"By order!"

Gu Da used this time to read out the will to execute the Qingliu civil officials, and Hong Rui, Liu Yu and other Qingliu civil officials only then understood why they were executed, and dared to feel that they were involved in the murder of the monarch!

"Wronged! The minister didn't kill the king! The ministers don't know that they are the ministers who kill the king! ”

"Wronged! Ladies and gentlemen, why are you forcing Your Majesty to connect the ten clans, you are communiquéing personal vendettas, taking the opportunity to eradicate us! ”

"Ma Wensheng, you traitor, it must be your idea!"

"Liu Jin, you eunuch, must be Your Majesty who instigated your Majesty to be executed even with us!"

A group of Qingliu civil officials scolded, and they scolded indiscriminately, but it still couldn't change the fact that they were about to be executed.

Those present were silent.

Gu Dayong looked at the sundial, and shouted again: "The time has come, execution!" ”

Suddenly, ten cavalrymen directly rode their horses and whipped, a team of five, a team of five cavalry each headed in five directions, accompanied by the sound of iron chains being dragged on the ground rapidly, dragging quickly, and sparks suddenly appeared.

And Hong Rui and Liu Yu also knew that they were about to be divided by the five horses, so they hurriedly shouted and struggled hard: "Spare your life!" I don't want to die! Spare your life! ”

Stab!

In an instant, Hong Rui and Liu Yu, who were still complete at first, were each quickly torn into six parts, among which their heads and limbs were still dragged by horses, and their bodies were already only a full abdomen.

The officials who were watching the execution were all nervous, and cold sweat broke out on their backs, and some of them vomited or even fainted on the ground.

And those Qingliu civil officials who were about to be beheaded were also stunned, but when they were still stunned, a group of Qingliu civil officials had already been pulled out of the whiteboard.

Click!

Suddenly, the heads of twenty Qingliu civil officials fell to the ground!

Blood splattered!

Then another group of Qingliu civil officials dragged over!

Click!

Twenty people are in a group, so this time it is still the heads of twenty Qingliu civil officials rolling to the ground!

The executioners chopped like melons and vegetables, one by one.

The entire execution ground was full of human heads and blood!

There was even a smell of dung and urine, and it became more and more intense, it can be seen that both those who watched and were tortured were frightened, but fortunately, it was raining in winter at this time, and everyone's clothes were wet, otherwise it would be really embarrassing!

At this time, the people present, including the executioners, also found that the bones of the old man Jinshi were also soft and could be cut off.

And these Qingliu civil officials were all numb with fright, or whining and crying or fainting directly or kowtowing and begging for mercy, but none of them resisted!

They were once so spirited that they are now lambs to the slaughter!

And at this time, the execution ground has become a slaughterhouse, Shura Hell!

Click!

The heads of another group of clear-stream civil officials have landed!
