Chapter 224: Three thousand six hundred knives, killing the monarch alive
In the second year of Longwu, in April, Nanjing City.
With the bright sunshine on his head, thousands of people in Jinling City came to the entrance of the vegetable market to watch the execution of the main culprit in the murder of the monarch.
The five main culprits were escorted out, and the moment they took off their hoods, they closed their eyes tightly. It was dark in the prison of the Criminal Department, and it had been a few months since the bright light was seen again.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang used four major bloody cases to kill 100,000 people, in exchange for the purpose of rectifying the rule of officials and collecting military power. Now a case of killing the monarch has killed Jiangnan silently, and Donglin and Fushe have really been uprooted. Whether it is the backbone of the Shilin or the wealthy businessmen and gentry who support them behind them, as long as there is a slight threat, they will be put on the list by the Hidden Elephant Battalion.
Among the five people, Chen Zilong was haggard, he had completely regretted it, and secretly hated why he was so obsessed with his mind that he listened to the words of these two friends. Thinking about how much Emperor Longwu valued himself at the beginning, as a scholar of the dynasty, he should have done a lot. Although Hou Xuanyan is at odds with himself, he is still well-known. As long as he wholeheartedly assists the king and goes on a northern expedition to the Central Plains, he will definitely not suffer from such a catastrophe. Looking at the people he killed, all of them took the initiative to provoke Hou Xuanyan in this book.
Although Chen Zilong was silent, the remaining two refused to be so honest. Qian Qianyi looked at the people around him, looked at his eyes, and became disdainful and hateful. This is the treatment he has never had in Jiangnan, he has always been the respected suzerain of the literary world, and he is always hugged everywhere he goes. What makes him even more unbearable is that his life is destined to become a heavy stroke in history, treason, repeatedness, murder... Seeking fame and getting a name turned out to be a notoriety that has been stinking for thousands of years. Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi was still unwilling, tried to make the last effort, and roared angrily with all his might: "Strange injustices through the ages! I hope that there will be descendants Zhaoxue. β
Huang Zongxi is much more bachelor than Qian Qianyi, he has long been sentenced to palace punishment, and he is not afraid of death at all. After seeing Hou Xuanyan on the beheading position, he scolded: "Traitor, you must not die a good death." β
The executioner tore off the hood and stuffed it into the mouths of the two men.
Hou Xuanyan stood up, and the python robe was still given by Emperor Longwu, and it was a woven gold unicorn robe that could be worn beyond the level. With a jade belt around his waist and a crown on his head, he is already a very good minister at a young age.
"The emperor was generous and forgiving, diligent and loved the people, and had no extravagance in three meals, but he was actually a generation of Ming monarchs. It's hateful that these three traitors actually bought the imperial doctor inside, colluded with the military generals outside, and committed the crime of killing the king, which is simply the anger of people and gods. Today, 3,600 knives were executed in Jinling, and Ling Chi executed the murderer of the monarch to comfort the spirit of the emperor in heaven. After speaking, he picked up the bamboo tube on the table, picked up the fire order, threw it on the ground and shouted: "Three o'clock in the afternoon has arrived, verify the body, and execute immediately!" β
The executioner smacked the knife in his hand, took down the death cards of the five criminals, and began the execution with concentration. Ling Chi pays attention to the fact that the muscles have been exhausted, but the breath is not stopped, the liver and heart are connected, and the hearing and hearing are especially existing. This is the most technical of all the death penalty.
Hou Xuanyan had no intention of appreciating it, and in the exclamation of the onlookers, he turned around and left.
At the same time, all the temples and Taoist temples in Jinling City rang 30,000 bells to worship Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu.
In the palace, Wang Xiangnian faced Zhu Yujian's spiritual position and cried bitterly.
The era of this good emperor has slowly come to an end, and it has been proved that no matter how good his personal character is, it is difficult to make a difference in this troubled era. When you are surrounded by a group of so-called clear streams, standing on the commanding heights of morality, frantically controlling the government, excluding dissidents, and endless infighting, you will eventually exhaust your national strength.
In the morning of the next day, Concubine Chen hung the curtain to listen to the government, and the mud bodhisattva generally hid behind the curtain without saying a word.
Only when Hou Xuanyan spoke, she whispered a few words of support to express her support.
Zhao Yuanhua, the new commander of the Jinyi Guard, the former commander of the East Ya of the Hidden Elephant Battalion, stood up and said: "The first emperor died, the new emperor was not born, the decree of the world came out of the Wenyuan Pavilion, His Royal Highness has been pregnant for a long time, and it is inconvenient for the concubine. The minister suggested that a yamen be opened in Jinling and called the regent, and the Duke of Yue Guo would temporarily handle government affairs. β
Concubine Chen in the curtain was uncomfortable, and when she heard that she could not use it in the early court, she said happily: "What this minister said is very good, so let's do it." β
Hou Xuanyan came out of the crowd and received the order to thank him.
Liu Zhongzao and Lu Zhenfei couldn't stop it, and they all had bitter faces. In this way, the power of Wenyuan Pavilion was greatly reduced. The decree of the world comes from the regency, at least before the little emperor is born, and even before he is sensible enough to govern himself, Hou Xuanyan will temporarily exercise the power of the emperor.
He recalled that most of the officials in the court were new faces, and these new faces were all happy on their faces.
The murder of the monarch was widely implicated, and many of the ministers of the DPRK and China were implicated, ranging from degrading officials to destroying their homes and confiscating their homes. Although many officials have been promoted from Suzhou, Zhenjiang and other places, there are still many vacancies.
Hou Xuanyan ordered Xia Yunyi, Wang Fuzhi, Yang Zhan and others from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, and Sichuan overnight to promote officials to Beijing. These people are now on the way, and it is conceivable that when they arrive and fill various positions, Hou Xuanyan's decree can be better implemented.

Henan, Nanyang Mansion, Dengzhou Dangzikou Pass.
Du Yinxi looked at the corpse in front of him and cried bitterly. Li Jin is the second person in the Loyal Battalion, Li Zicheng's nephew, and an important general of the Dashun East Route Army, the predecessor of the Loyal Battalion.
Yesterday, he led 30,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry to aid the Henan rebels who were besieged in Xujiazhai.
Who knew that he was ambushed by Kong Youde, and when he retreated while fighting, a poisonous arrow hit Li Jin's chest.
The general Yuan Zongdi desperately fought back and rescued him, but unfortunately the poison attacked, and he insisted on staying until he was over. Li Jin, who had a black face surrounding Yintang, held the hand of Du Yinxi, and without saying a word, he vomited black blood and whimpered.
The loyal battalion has been fighting in Jingxiang for half a year, and the commander and deputy commander Li Jin have already formed a deep affection. Seeing the death of his old comrades-in-arms, even though he was used to seeing life and death, he was also very sad.
Most of the other generals in the tent were the original members of the Dashun East Route Army, and Li Jin's death made them angry.
Gao Yigong said in a deep voice: "Block the commander, send troops to a decisive battle!" β
Seeing that the people's hearts were available, the three armies were united in their hatred of the enemy, and they all had the intention of avenging Li Jin. The garrison of Henan was empty, and the army of the Manchu Qing was obviously insufficient, and Zilharang dragged his feet along the way, not wanting to leave the drunken life of the capital at all. Since the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the poor have become rich, and under the oppression of superior races, they have lived a life of wealth and comfort that they have never had before. The Eight Banners rapidly decayed and degenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye. The strength of the entire Henan can fight is Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi.
"Raise the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang, 200,000 loyal battalions, and avenge Li Jin!"
