Chapter 271: Emperor's Thoughts
Li Xiu was stripped of his python robe, wearing only a white middle coat, and was escorted by the palace guards to the noon gate. Cao Huachun and Wang Zhixin followed, and behind him were several eunuchs and a team of brocade guards.
Today's prisoner is Cao Huachun, and two eunuchs have already brought him a chair for him to sit down, and even the fragrant tea has been prepared for him.
Li Xiu paid attention to it, and this Cao Huachun was sitting there expressionlessly, his feet were flat and stable, not the "inner eight" or the "outer eight", which made him really have some doubts in his heart.
The rules of the palace, the severity of the execution is determined by the expression and movements of the eunuch. If the eunuch's feet are spread out, the execution is lighter, and the person who is tortured can still leave a life. If the eunuch's toes were brought inward together, the one who was tortured would be killed with the rod.
But this Cao Huachun didn't play according to the routine, which really made Li Xiu a little puzzled, did Zhu Youzhen just want to punish himself, or take his own life?
This court staff, Zhu Youzhen didn't even give it a hand, it was completely the kind that directly ordered the guards to pull it out and beat it.
Before the execution, Wang Zhixin came over and relieved Li Xiu of the iron shackle on his hand. Then two guards came up and tied his hands and feet with straw ropes, and then took a large cloth bag and put the upper half of his body in it.
The two brocade guards pressed Li Xiu to the ground, made him lie there and could no longer move, and then pulled off his pants and tortured naked in front of everyone.
Everyone glanced at Cao Huachun, who was sitting there, but now his face was still expressionless, and his feet had not moved again, and he couldn't understand what he meant for a while.
Is this a real fight or a fake fight?
Then a eunuch approached him, and after listening to his whispered commands, he straightened up and shouted, "Execution!" ”
I'll it!
Of course I know it's going to be executed, but how heavy is it?
The ten flag officers in charge of the execution couldn't make up their minds in their hearts, and they didn't want to be the first to do it, and they didn't want to be the first to do it.
Is this master here, he is the governor of the second grade, his top boss is still the eldest brother of the family, and now he doesn't understand what Cao Huachun means, how dare they be heavy-handed?
But if it is light, it will not work, what the emperor means is not known now, once he is not satisfied, it will be himself who will suffer.
Outside the noon gate, a group of eunuchs and brocade guards stared wide-eyed, stunned for a long time without execution.
Cao Huachun smiled bitterly in his heart, the emperor never ordered at all, whether he wanted to die or live. This will stump him, but it can't just drag it out, right?
He had no choice but to speak out in person: "Let's execute." ”
A group of brocade guards lined up, no one was willing to step forward to execute, and finally everyone took a step back, leaving a lone man who was half a beat slower to stand in front.
Well, this budding bird is determined by himself.
The man shook his head, and was the first to go up and do it.
"Shelving stick"
Cao Huachun shouted softly, and the captains on the side shouted in unison: "Stick stick!" ”
The flag officer held a large bamboo cane and rested it on Li Xiuguang's slippery buttocks.
In this cold winter, Li Xiu only felt a chill on his body, and couldn't help but feel excited, and heard a eunuch shouting in his ears: "Fight!" ”
"Bang"
I only heard a loud shout from the big man in front of him, and he pulled it off with a stick, making a dull sound.
This stick is really not light, Li Xiu was caught off guard and almost screamed. He quickly closed his mouth tightly and was stunned for nothing.
After a while, the five sticks were finished, and another person was replaced to continue the fight.
At this time, Li Xiu's forehead, which was covered in a cloth bag, was covered with sweat, and a wisp of blood had overflowed from the corner of his lips, which was the blood that had bitten his lip under the severe pain.
"Rotational Execution"
After the two in front of him finished fighting, the eunuch shouted, and the other eight brocade guards lined up and took turns to carry out the execution.
"Hit the Ground"
"Fight with your heart"
"Hit the Ground"
They shouted the trumpet, and every time the words fell, a stick fell, and the stick fell on Li Xiu's thighs and ass like raindrops, and every time the stick went down, his body trembled slightly, obviously trying to endure himself.
The king's heart was fighting on the sidelines, and he had been watching carefully. Now, these people are not lightly attacked, but they are not really beaten to death, and he can't help but cast an inquiring glance at Cao Huachun.
Cao Huachun shook his head imperceptibly, meaning that he didn't know how to fight, so he could only wave freely with the brocade guards.
In this case, without getting an accurate hint, they would never dare to beat people to death easily. In this way, they are afraid that the saint will blame them, and they will definitely not dare to beat them too lightly.
After the fifty strokes, Li Xiu's ass had already been peeled open, and it looked very infiltrating.
The brocade guards threw away their wooden sticks, lifted the four corners of the linen cloth on Li Xiu's body, raised them high with a shout, and slammed them to the ground.
"Bang"
Li Xiu was already dying, and if he let them fall like this, he almost fainted.
After the sackcloth was taken away from his body, Li Xiu opened his hazy eyes and saw that Cao Huachun had already come to him, and said in his ear: "Lord Li, I'm sorry, the emperor didn't fight with our family." ”
When he had finished, he got up and went to reply.
Wang Zhixin stepped forward and said, "Master Li, let's have someone send you there, right?" ”
Li Xiu shook his head slightly, his hands were forced to get up, his body trembled and slowly rose halfway, but suddenly his eyes rolled and he fell straight back.
"Lee-sama"
Wang Zhixin was shocked, and hurriedly instructed the two eunuchs on the side: "Quick, quickly carry Master Li there, so that you can find a doctor for treatment as soon as possible." ”
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youzhen had just finished meeting with Yang Tinglin, and he had already made a decision on Lu Xiangsheng's matter.
It was indeed as Li Xiu said, it was a stumbling block between the governor Zhang Qiping and Gao Qiqian, but he still didn't plan to kill Gao Qiqian, he only planned to use Zhang Qiping's life to calm the anger of the soldiers.
However, although Gao Qiqian was spared death, he was no longer suitable for the post of supervisor for the time being, and Zhu Youzhen appointed another eunuch to take over Gao Qiqian's position.
Seeing Cao Huachun coming, Zhu Youzhen asked casually, "How is Li Xiu?" ”
Cao Huachun replied respectfully: "After the court staff is fifty, Lord Li seems to be no longer good, and it is estimated that he will have to lie down for a while after he goes." ”
"Hmm"
Zhu Youzhen nodded and said no more.
In fact, whether Li Xiu is dead or alive now is not a big deal for him. There are so many officials in the imperial court, there is not much more than him, and there is no less than him.
Just like Lu Xiangsheng before, if you die, you will die.
In the past few months, I haven't seen him win the Qing army, right? (To be continued.) )
