Wang Yingcheng bowed in fear, accepted the lesson, and then respectfully stepped back and continued to preside over the next process.

The onlookers and the people were far away, and they didn't know what was going on, they only thought that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had been reprimanded, or some kind of intermediate ceremony.

Only the queen is a little helpless, she has been with Yang Mu for two or three years, she also knows what kind of virtue she is as a man, Mingjun gets up and handles state affairs in an orderly manner, once something makes him unhappy, it is also not ambiguous, and he is even more faint than the faint monarch.

For example, isn't this sacrificial matter a little boring, making him wait for a while, is it worth making such a big move, and almost paralyzing the books of the Ministry of Rites.

After the sacrificial text is recited, the whole process is actually much faster.

The prisoner sacrifice ceremony is divided into three parts, the first is to pay homage to God, which means that Cangguo destroyed the cave country by the will of God, which is equivalent to letting God carry a black pot, although it sounds very mysterious, but some officials and ordinary people still eat this set.

As for the second, that is to tell the ancestors, to the effect that the descendants of the future generations have not lived up to your old man's spirit in the sky, and the country is running better and better, and will bless the country with good weather and peace in the future.

At this point, Yang Mu didn't feel anything, because the change of dynasty in the entire Cangguo period was only thirty years, and there was only one father on the top, who had never met, and only left a mess for him to clean up, so there was nothing to consol.

The third point is the humiliation of the captives.

It can be said that this is the main event for the emperor.

It is the desire of every emperor to expand his territory, and it is not a skill to show off his might and seize it by force in his own country, and it is not a skill to be afraid, and the emperor has little interest in these things after a long time.

But what if it's someone of equal status?

It is undoubtedly the most relieving to destroy a country, take all its territory, and then humiliate the emperor of that country and trample it under his feet brutally.

Yang Mu didn't know who made the first prisoner sacrifice ceremony in this world, but ...... It's so enjoyable!

When the common people saw that the emperor of the cave country was humiliated, and the princes and nobles fell into the clouds, even lower than slaves, they would be disappointed in the mystery of the imperial power of the cave country, and when the news spread, it also cut off the hope of some conspirators or descendants of the royal family to seek the restoration of the country.

After all, the most honorable group of people in the country have admitted that the country has died, who are you going to restore the country for?

The word country, in the final analysis, still belongs to the imperial power and aristocracy in the cave country, maybe some people who are well-read and reasonable, after gaining political status, will have feelings for the country, but those old farmers who don't know a big word are concerned about their own days, and no one has brainwashed and instilled the concept of the country, how can they have any dependence on the country?

Therefore, the sacrifice of prisoners is not only humiliation for the sake of humiliation, but also for the sake of having very large political considerations.

Just like in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty in China, the shame of Jingkang, the tragic experience of those princes and nobles greatly shocked the court of the later Southern Song Dynasty.

And how did the Jin people humiliate the royal family of the Song Dynasty?

After Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured, the Jin soldiers only allowed them to wear the cloth clothes of the people, it was still in April, the north was still relatively cold, the two emperors and empresses were very thinly dressed, and they couldn't sleep well at night, the Jin people would only send them very little food every day, some of them were still moldy, and the emperors and empresses ate diarrhea one by one.

Sometimes, they were thrown in baskets and tied to horses at night, and it was difficult to even stand up the next day.

Along the way, the Jin soldiers let the two queens sing and dance for the Jin army, and held a capture ceremony after arriving in the Jin capital, ordering the two emperors and concubines to change into the clothes of the Jin people, naked and naked, and go to the ancestral temple of the Jin people to perform the "sheep ceremony", and the two emperors were also given two insulting titles by them, the Duke of Faint De and the Heavy Wait.

After the two emperors arrived in the north, they were imprisoned and tortured, and those women were even more miserable, more than 10,000 women of all kinds were mortgaged and discounted, and half of them died along the way.

Those women were forced to follow the Jurchen folk customs, expose their bodies, and wear sheep furs, that is, the so-called "sheep holding ceremony", Empress Zheng of Huizong and Empress Zhu of Qinzong were also dealt with in the same way, and another part remained in Yanjing and was rewarded to the Jin soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and many women were sold into prostitution, some were exchanged for ten people for a horse, and some were sold to Goryeo and Mongolia as slaves.

According to records, the women of the Northern Song Dynasty who fell into the hands of the Jin soldiers were reduced to the sexual subordinates of the Jurchens regardless of their rank, and were humiliated physically and mentally, and they were forced to change their dance clothes, advise the Jin generals to drink, and were beheaded on the spot if they resisted the slightest.

Pointing to the beheaded corpse, the Jin soldiers warned the princess and the princess to take this as a lesson, otherwise they would also end up, and they forced the princess, who had yielded first, to persuade the newcomers to dress up and change their dance clothes for the enjoyment of the Jin generals.

Soon, many emperors and princesses were tortured to death, in front of the emperor, ordered the Jin army generals present to each take away two women, vent at will, in order to meet the Jin army generals **, all pregnant people have abortions.

Empress Wei, Qiao Guifei and other Northern Song Dynasty harems were relegated to the brothel of the Jin Guojun - Huanyi Courtyard, the most one day to pick up more than 100 customers, extremely miserable, some of the princesses who grew up, and later also entered the palace to serve the Jin Emperor, an ordinary person, can buy a set of prince's daughter and grandson, Xiangguo's niece, Jinshi Lady and other identities in one woman at a very cheap price.

From then on, all the royal nobles, regardless of status, men and women, could only be manipulated by others, like slaves.

Therefore, from the perspective of the shame of the entire Jingkang, it is actually a matter of sacrificing prisoners, which can be said to have completely broken the confidence of the high-level rule of the Song Dynasty.

Although this prisoner sacrifice ceremony organized by Cangguo is not so brutal, it is still necessary to make a show.

The first to be tortured was Ji Haokong, the prince of the Cave Kingdom, who had not experienced the destruction of the Cave Kingdom, but was detained in the Cangguo Kingdom because of the envoy before, and he had been subjected to inhuman treatment during this period.

Especially those jailers, knowing that this battle was originally provoked by the prince of Dongguo, they attacked even more ruthlessly, and all kinds of punishments were added, and even there were traces of a soldering iron on their faces.

Ji Haokong was dragged out, stripped naked under the threat of the executioner, stripped naked one by one, subjected to various whippings, and ate food on the ground.

During this period, even Ji Haokong, who had been tortured many times, couldn't bear such humiliation and knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Then, the emperor and empress of the cave country were also treated in the same way, among which the empress did not obey and was directly put on the torture rack by the executioner herself.

At this moment, it can be said that the atmosphere of the entire prisoner sacrifice ceremony was pushed to a climax, and the screams and pleadings of the emperor and empress of the cave country were like rewards to others, and the surrounding people cheered with a tsunami.

Immediately afterwards, those princes also suffered the same treatment.

Seeing this, Yang Mu frowned, and the queen next to her lowered her eyes, embarrassed to look. ()
