Chapter 101: Execution of the Three Ministers and Liu Wentai

The punishment of these officials of the foreign dynasty is actually no different from Wang Yue, Zhu Houzhao still ordered the execution according to the law on the grounds that the first emperor did not trust his dream, and naturally, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Liu Wentai, etc. will also be sentenced to death.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang don't need to be mentioned, they are the same as Wang Yue, they are also capital punishment!

But Xie Qian is different.

The main reason is that what Xie Qian did was too lacking in morality, and Zhu Houzhao also learned from Deng Bing's report at this time what happened when he escorted Xie Qian, and also knew about Xie Qian's crimes.

But although Zhu Houzhao was surprised and shameless about Xie Qian's behavior, he was not surprised, after all, he also knew that from ancient times to the present, these so-called families have not been clean, Liu Xianglian said well, these families are only afraid that only the stone lion in front of the door can be regarded as clean, what climbing ashes, adultery, murder, child abuse, wax people and even other heinous things are too many to mention.

"Xie Qian's behavior must be severely punished, in recent years, the social atmosphere has become more and more extravagant, scholars and doctors hold their own identity, there are few people who abide by morality, and there are more and more arrogant and lascivious people who even bully men and women, if these are not curbed, not only will damage the morale of Shilin, but also bring bad Ming officials, and it is easier to destroy people's morals, and the pursuit of beautiful clothes and houses may be understandable, but this kind of hurtful behavior will only breed public resentment!"

At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who was in the cabinet and the celebrant duty room, expressed his opinion.

Today's cabinet minister Ma Wensheng and celebrant Liu Jin are now looking at Zhu Houzhao, and when Zhu Houzhao said this, Ma Wensheng and others did not object.

Even, Ma Wensheng asked directly: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how to deal with Xie Qian?" ”

Now Zhu Houzhao has placed the cabinet and the celebrant near his Qianqing Palace, which can be said to make the Ming Dynasty even more monarchical, in this small duty room north of Longzongmen, Zhu Houzhao can control all military and political affairs of the empire at any time, including the execution of anyone.

Zhu Houzhao finally decided to sentence Xie Qian to sandalwood punishment, and the punishment was a little more ruthless than Mu Bindang, it was a luxurious version of sandalwood punishment, which would not only open up the valley road, but also pour a few days before the execution, with fierce medicine that can make people excited, so as to punish Xie Qian's crime of abusing young girls and boys!

At the same time, because Liu Wentai was the direct murderer of the first emperor, and he also killed two generations of the first emperor, and even poisoned him with drugs, Zhu Houzhao simply asked Liu Wentai to take lead and mercury medicine when he was sentenced to death, hurting his liver and spleen! Let them suffer severe pain and die!

……

“…… Liu Jian was sentenced to death...... His flesh is given to the people whose fields he has usurped! to solve the grievances of the people! ”

“…… Li Dongyang was sentenced to ...... Its flesh was thrown into the slaughtered village of Mihara County, and eaten by wild dogs to relieve the souls of the people killed by their conspiracy! ”

“…… Give Xie Qian three days without pouring 300 pills, take them first, and then announce the punishment later! ”

“…… Give Liu Wentai 500 red pills and elixir, and serve them in three bowls of moldy bean cakes! And then announce the punishment that follows! ”

At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Waiting for Punishment had just finished reading the decree, and Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, who were present, were dumbfounded.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang didn't expect that they would still be sentenced to death, and Liu Jian even muttered to himself: "Why do you still want to punish me, why is this so, there are more than Wang Yue!" ”

"Zhu Houzhao, the old man shouldn't have let you be the emperor in the first place, and the old man should have killed you in the first place!"

Liu Jian roared angrily.

And Li Dongyang had already fainted at this time.

Only, Xie Qian and Liu Wentai became complacent, Xie Qian smiled and said: "Fortunately, it's just taking poison, but it's not poison in the past three days, is it going to be poisoned and die three days later!" Live three more days and live three more! ”

Liu Wentai also said: "The same way to die as the first emperor, the minister is willing!" ”

What these two people don't know is that they will be worse than Liu Jian and Li Dongyang!

……

At this time, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were first escorted to the execution ground for execution, and the two cried and cried for several days and nights like Wang Yue!

And a few days later, after taking the medicine, Xie Qian found that he was not taking any poison, but a medicine for rejuvenation, and he was taking 300 of this medicine, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep that night, it was all like fire, but now he was tied with his hands and feet, so he could only use a spear until the day he was executed, and the taste was more uncomfortable than letting him be Ling Chi.

And Liu Wentai is not much better, the lead and mercury plus the aflatoxin on the moldy food directly led to Liu Wentai's acute liver cirrhosis and then liver failure, and Liu Wentai, who suddenly had abdominal pain, was worse than a woman giving birth, rolling on the ground directly, shouting "The minister knows the crime, the minister knows the crime!" ”

"Inflicted sandalwood on Xie Qian and cut him off...... to punish him for the crime of killing kings and abusing children! The people of the quasi-capital city are considerable! ”

After the official of the Criminal Department read out the decree, Xie Qian was taken to the execution ground, and then his valley road was stabbed through that day, and Xie Qian screamed in pain, and then when the knife cut his skin, Xie Qian's body, which was already full of blood because of the effect of the drug, was directly like a fountain of blood, and his nervous system felt pain ten times stronger than before.

Liu Wentai suffered from two severe pains: physical pain and physiological pain.

But in any case, after the first lunar month, these traitors involved in the murder of the king and rebellion were finally executed.

……

But the case of the massacre of several villages in Mihara County is not over.

Inspector Yu Shi Lu Zhonghe never felt that it was a big deal to lead the Tartars into the customs and slaughter a few villages, after all, there was a pavilion elder covering it, and nothing could happen at all.

Just as the gentry in Jiangnan still colluded with the Japanese to promote maritime trade and loot coastal villages when the imperial court explicitly banned the sea, it is natural for the gentry in the border towns to collude with the Tartars to loot several villages and annex some land.

Otherwise, there would not have been a huge political merchant group raised by the Jin merchants and the Jin merchants who grew later, and by the time of Wanli, there were people from the cabinet to the local governors, and they also directly raised the gravediggers of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, these gentry don't care whether the tartars raised will become the gravediggers of the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of the vast majority of people in this era, the Ming Dynasty was not established by them, they never regarded the Ming Dynasty as their own property, they only thought about how to grab more of their own interests in the society of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty dies, they will change to another dynasty, anyway, as gentry, they can still be officials, and they can still enjoy privileges, and it is a big deal to bring down another dynasty.

But just when Lu Zhonghe had just arrived in Shangzhou, Shaanxi Province to inspect, Wang Yangming came to him with officers and soldiers.

At this time, the inspector Lu Zhonghe also learned in advance that some imperial officers and soldiers suddenly appeared in Shaanxi, and he could guess that it must be because of the slaughter of Sanyuan County, but what he didn't understand was why the imperial court sent officers and soldiers instead of Jinyiwei, could it be that Jinyiwei was very busy and couldn't transfer people?

Actually, Lu Zhonghe guessed correctly, it was indeed the Jinyi Guard who was very busy, and the officers and soldiers sent by Zhu Houzhao came.

But what Lu Zhonghe didn't guess was that the officers and soldiers would come directly to him, and they would arrest him.
