Three thousand six hundred dollars?

Wang Yue couldn't believe his ears!

Daming Lingchi's capital punishment was 3,357 knives, while Zhu Houzhao sentenced him to 3,600 knives!

Not only that, but let all the ministers eat their own flesh!

You know, he Wang Yue used to be the prime minister of the minister!

Wang Yue really couldn't imagine how humiliating it would be for those eunuchs who were once only worthy of shouting to themselves, and their ancestors were beaten to death by themselves, and they didn't dare to say a word to eat their own flesh!

Wang Yue could not accept such humiliation!

He can't even tolerate Liu Jin, the emperor's personal eunuch who may threaten his status, not to mention that he is now going to be eaten by those more than 3,000 eunuchs!

Wang Yue has always had an inferiority complex in his heart, and under the influence of this era, he was born in Neishutang and looked down on eunuchs by nature!

Naturally, I can't stand being eaten by eunuchs!

Although he himself is also a eunuch, he has always felt that he is different from ordinary eunuchs, although he has the body of a eunuch, he has the heart of a literati and a Confucian!

In his eyes, those eunuchs in the inner court are extremely humble sluts! And he himself is the high-ranking master of ceremonies, and he is the gentleman who all the courtiers of the outer court must call a prince!

But now Zhu Houzhao wants the eunuch to eat his flesh and watch him being Ling Chi!

Wang Yue felt that this was simply a great insult to himself!

Why is this happening!

Why punish yourself like this!

This is just brutal!

Wang Yue was shocked and roared angrily: "Emperor! Why are you doing this to me! Even if the old slave is guilty! I didn't really kill you! Why are you so unkind! Besides, the old slave didn't really kill the first emperor, and he also served the first emperor for decades, how can you be so cruel! ”

"You have to blame yourself for this, I just meant to let you kill yourself, but you reminded me that if I want to kill no rebels in the future, I can only severely punish the thieves who intend to kill me and force the palace now! Your Wang Yue is a slave of my family, and his crime is ten times heavier, and his punishment will naturally be more severe and fail! Escort this rebel against the lord and the king! ”

Zhu Houzhao said lightly.

And Wang Yue obviously felt fear and fear, and couldn't help shouting in his heart: "I am an old minister who has served the first emperor for several years!" I should have been under one man, above ten thousand, how could I be humiliated like this now! No way! Absolutely not! ”

Wang Yue understands now, the emperor Zhu Houzhao in front of him is not someone who can be frightened at all, nor is he really soft-hearted, he knows that he can only show weakness now.

Therefore, before this Wang Yue took his brocade guard again, he suddenly kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao, and bowed down, kneeling heavily in front of Zhu Houzhao, almost kneeling to break: "Emperor! The old slave is guilty, and I implore the emperor not to let the old slave be eaten by the eunuchs, and ask Your Majesty to commit suicide! ”

This Wang Yue cried as he spoke, and his tears suddenly poured down like an endless river and mountain, and his head hit the ground like a golden bell!

Bang bang bang!

"The old slave knows that the emperor hates the old slave deeply, as long as the emperor can dissipate his anger and spare the old slave, the old slave is willing to die in front of His Majesty!"

Bang!

Wang Yue, who was crying bitterly, knocked desperately! The gold bricks are shattered and cracked!

The whole hall shook in a trance!

"Hold on!"

At this time, the two brocade guards had already pulled up Wang Yue, but Zhu Houzhao did not choose to forgive, he believed that if he was really forced into a desperate situation by Wang Yue that day, Wang Yue would not be soft, not to mention that he was going to show Liu Jin and Ma Yongcheng and others.

"Emperor! Emperor! ”

Wang Yue was still struggling, desperately shouting Zhu Houzhao, but it was useless, and Zhu Houzhao didn't pay attention to him at all.

Zhu Houzhao only looked at Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian now: "Do you three have any remorse now?" ”

Frankly speaking, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian are indeed frightened by Zhu Houzhao's order to kill Wang Yueling's 3,600 knives.

They have to admit that their majesty the emperor is really ruthless! Not to mention the Ten Clans, even the punishment of the main culprit is more ruthless than Taizu!

Liu Jian kowtowed first: "The sinner repents!" The guilty minister, please forgive your majesty for the sins of the minister! ”

Liu Jian was completely convinced, after all, he didn't want to suffer three thousand six hundred knives like Wang Yue.

"The guilty minister also repents, the guilty minister is guilty of the first emperor, and the guilty is guilty of Your Majesty! Please spare your sins! ”

Li Dongyang wiped away his tears and kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao at the beginning.

Xie Qian suddenly burst into tears, and then shouted, "Your Majesty! The sinner really knows it's wrong! The sinner must be reformed! I just ask Your Majesty to spare the ministers, if Your Majesty really can't spare the ministers, give the ministers to kill themselves, woo! ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect these three people to change their hexagrams so quickly, and he felt speechless in his heart.

Zhu Hou looked at the sky, and it began to rain again in a trance, which made him think of what happened a few days before and after Emperor Hongzhi's funeral.

"It's not me who you killed, it's the first emperor, can you spare you, I don't count what I said, as a son of man, I want to avenge the killing of my father, and I don't understand your hatred with a thousand knives, not to mention forgiving your sins, of course, if the first emperor wants to spare you, I naturally have nothing to say, I can only obey my father's will!"

Zhu Houzhao said.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Liu Jian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! If the first emperor is alive, he will definitely forgive the ministers, because the first emperor has always been benevolent, please be considerate of the first emperor's kindness and forgive the ministers! ”

"Please be considerate of the kindness of the previous emperor and forgive the ministers!" Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were also busy begging for mercy.

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that these three people really kicked their noses and faces, and moved out of the first emperor to bargain with him.

So, Zhu Houzhao smiled again: "Although the previous emperor was lenient because you were not evil, and now you have committed the crime of killing the king, how can the first emperor, as a generation of Ming monarchs, tolerate such a rebellious thing, otherwise there will be no earthquake in the Seven Mansions;

In this way, if it starts to rain today, the winter rain will not stop for a few days, the last time the emperor went to the funeral, you didn't kneel, but I was afraid that it would anger Your Majesty, and now I give you the opportunity to go to the emperor's mausoleum and kneel for two days, if within two days, the first emperor told me to forgive you, I will spare you! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao smiled again and asked, "I have already done my best to be benevolent, right?" ”

Zhu Houzhao continued to ask Liu Jin and Ma Yongcheng: "Am I very kind to them?" Am I a benevolent emperor? ”

Liu Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "The benevolence of the emperor is far away from Yao Shun, and it is closer than the first emperor, and it is the blessing of these rebels that I can meet Your Majesty!" ”

Ma Yongcheng also hurriedly echoed: "The minister thinks that the emperor is really the most benevolent king in the past!" There is no one before and no one after us! ”

Zhu Hou looked at Liu Jian and the others: "What do you think?" ”

Liu Jian and the others smiled awkwardly: "Yes!" Your Majesty is indeed the most benevolent emperor! ”

But Liu Jian and the others also understood that this Zhu Houzhao wanted to spare them, and it was clearly to let them suffer another crime before they died!

Kneeling in such a gloomy place like the Imperial Tomb for two days and two nights on such a cold day is even more uncomfortable than killing them directly! What's more, they're all old people!

Therefore, Xie Qian cried wolf again: "Your Majesty! Can you do it for the sake of the minister's old age, and avoid the minister's kneeling punishment! The minister is willing to commit suicide, how about letting the minister commit suicide! ”

Xie Qian knew that he was now infamous in the township clan, and naturally knew that it was not interesting for him to live, so he thought that he could suffer less sin before he died.
