Chapter 271: Emperor's Thoughts
Li Xiuwen 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 closely www.biquge.info behind him, followed by several little eunuchs and a team of brocade guards.
Today's prisoner is Cao Huachun, and two little eunuchs have already brought him a chair for him to sit down, and even the fragrant tea has been prepared for him.
Li Xiuwen paid attention to it, and Cao Huachun was sitting there expressionlessly, his feet were flat and stable, not "inner eight" or "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 are close inward, hum...... And the one who is tortured will be put to death with the rod.
But this time, Cao Huachun didn't play according to the routine, which really made Li Xiuwen a little puzzled, did Zhu Youzhen just want to punish himself, or take his own life?
This time, Zhu Youzhen didn't even give the Dao 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 Xiuwen of the iron handkerchief 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 pushed Li Xiuwen to the ground, made him lie there and could no longer move, and then ripped off his pants and tortured naked in front of everyone.
Everyone glanced at Cao Huachun, who was sitting there, and found that his face was still expressionless, and his feet had not moved again, and they couldn't understand what he meant for a while.
Is this a real fight or a fake fight?
A little 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 little 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, if you look at me and I look at you.
This master is not small, he is the governor of the second grade, and 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 sticks—"
Cao Huachun shouted softly, and the captains on the side shouted in unison: "Stick stick!" ”
The little flag officer held a large bamboo cane in his hand and rested on Li Xiuwen's smooth buttocks.
In this cold winter, Li Xiuwen 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 snort, making a dull sound.
This stick is really not light, Li Xiuwen 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 Xiuwen'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 severe pain.
"Rotational Punishment—"
After the two in front of him finished fighting, the little eunuch shouted, and the other eight brocade guards lined up and took turns to carry out the execution.
"Hit me—"
"Fight with your heart—"
"Hit me—"
They shouted the trumpet, and every time the words fell, a stick fell, and the stick fell on Li Xiuwen's thighs and buttocks like raindrops, and every time the stick fell, his body trembled slightly, obviously forcing himself to endure it.
The king's heart was fighting on the sidelines, and he had been watching carefully. He found that these people were not lightly attacked, but they didn't really fight to the death, so he couldn'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 play freely with the Jinyi 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 Xiuwen's ass was already 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 Xiuwen's body, raised them high with a shout, and slammed them to the ground.
"Bang-"
Li Xiuwen was dying, and if they let them fall like this, they almost fainted.
After the sackcloth was taken away from his body, Li Xiuwen opened his hazy eyes, and saw that Cao Huachun had already come to him, and whispered in his ear: "Lord Li, I'm sorry, the emperor didn't tell our family how to fight." ”
When he had finished speaking, he got up and went back to answer the order.
Wang Zhixin stepped forward and said, "Master Li, let's have someone send you back, right?" ”
Li Xiuwen 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.
"Master Lee—"
Wang Zhixin was shocked, and hurriedly instructed the two little eunuchs on the side: "Quick, quickly carry Master Li back, so that I 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 Xiuwen 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 back, Zhu Youzhen asked casually, "How is Li Xiuwen?" ”
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 going back." ”
"Hmm-"
Zhu Youzhen nodded and said no more.
In fact, whether Li Xiuwen 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.) )
