Chapter 615: Rebellion
Setting up the Wanshou Palace was a sudden decision of the queen on a whim.
Originally, she had thought countless times that she must rely on her own strength to defeat the enemy with dignity, let him taste the pain, and pay the price for what she had done in the past.
However, after the revenge, although the person is relaxed, the heart is empty.
It's like standing at a fork in the road, not knowing where the road leads or why it's going.
In her heart, the only thing that came to her mind was the help His Majesty the Emperor had given her over the years.
She thought that if she hadn't broken into Cangguo by accident and learned the way of Tai Chi by chance, she would have been unable to kill the enemy in her life.
Perhaps, the most important thing is that night, the "shameful" transaction, because of the fact of husband and wife, the two will gradually come together under the guidance of the dark.
Now that I think about it, I am also embarrassed and emotional, and I can't help myself.
At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind, and that was to appear in front of her man immediately, immediately, and quickly.
From tonight onwards, he will be the only one for himself.
Wanshou Palace, Yang Mu was drinking tea, and Shen An, who was standing next to him, although he looked very calm, it could be seen from his meticulous demeanor that he was still full of vigilance.
The reason for the vigilance, of course, is because of the Assassins tonight.
Shen An, as Yang Mu's personal attendant, of course knew some inside information, he knew that the true identity of tonight's assassin was the emperor of the Great Unification Dynasty, so he also attached special importance to it, even in the case of musketeers and a large number of internal servants, he was still not at ease, just in case.
It's not that he's too careful, it's that he knows very well in his heart the gap between himself and the Great Unification Emperor.
Not to mention anything else, even if he is a congenital master, standing by the side of the queen mother on weekdays, he has an unfathomable feeling, like standing on the edge of a sea, feeling very small and incomparable.
"Shen An, you're a little too cautious."
Yang Mu glanced at him and quipped.
"Your Majesty, it's not a slave to be careful, it's true that assassins are too special."
Shen An replied seriously.
Yang Mu pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.
In any case, the dignified emperor personally led a team to assassinate himself, and he had to give some face, if the entire high-level from top to bottom didn't care at all, this did not meet the specifications of "reception", wouldn't it be too "disrespectful" to others?
Thinking about it this way, Shen An is a little more concerned about this matter, but it is actually understandable.
To be honest, he didn't panic at all.
He had confidence in the palace guards, in the power of the muskets, and even more in the empress.
That woman whose martial arts are so powerful that she is perverted, even if she can't defeat her opponent, self-protection is definitely more than enough.
After so many years of immersion, the queen has long comprehended the way of Tai Chi to a new height, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has integrated the way of Tai Chi into her soul, how can such a woman lose?
Even if he doesn't fight with others, after all, he has relied on Changchun Gong to step into the ranks of innate masters.
"The Queen Mother has arrived—"
At the door, a little eunuch sang, and saw that from the palace gate to the dormitory, all the palace maids and chamberlains knelt down to say goodbye.
Yang Mu turned his face sideways, and happened to see the queen running towards him.
"Revenge?"
Yang Mu asked, and his tone didn't have too much waves, just like asking casually, without too much waves.
"Well, alive."
The queen answered, she looked at Yang Mu affectionately, and knew in her heart that the man in front of her, when she asked plainly, was actually full of trust and support for her, partly of each other.
If she didn't mean to give her a chance to untie the knot, how could she ask someone to go to Yuling Palace to inform herself?
Such a plain and bland, the love that puts the other party in the heart is more real and touching than any sweet words.
"Captured alive?"
Yang Mu was surprised, he was a little surprised, he originally thought that the queen would directly kill the Emperor of Datong, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would just be captured alive and detained.
However, after thinking about it, he understood the secret.
For the empress, the most important thing is revenge, not to let the emperor die.
What is Revenge?
Revenge can take many forms, and death is just one of them.
Wouldn't it be even happier if the other party could be tortured more before he died?
For example, the distorted punishment of Ling Chi, the abolition of a martial art that a warrior regarded as his life, or the destruction of the dynasty he had worked so hard to win......
Why do you have to see blood when you kill someone, sometimes there are many things that are more torturous than death.
Yang Mu felt so, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that the queen should still think about him.
After all, capturing the emperor of a country alive is much more politically significant than killing the emperor of a country.
Alive, to prove that he is true!
If Emperor Datong dies in the Cangguo Palace today, even if the news is announced at that time, then in the eyes of the outside world, this is just a bizarre lie, and if a living emperor is captured, then the significance will be much greater.
Thinking of this, Yang Mu ordered: "Shen An, you immediately explain, let the Ministry of Rites issue a report, send an envoy to the Datong Dynasty, and spread the news." ”
"Yes, the minion obeys."
"Oh, by the way, those assassins in the city try to send people to chase them, if they can't catch them, they will be released, they are all witnesses, if they all die in my Dacang, those ministers in the Datong Dynasty may not easily believe it."
"Yes, the minion does."
Shen An nodded, the fact is indeed as Yang Mu said, the Emperor of Datong is often in retreat, if it is only temporarily missing, the vast majority of ministers will probably not believe it, if it is confirmed by some aspects, then even if the ministers do not want to believe it, they will definitely be panicked in their hearts.
A kingdom cannot be left without an owner for a day.
The emperor was captured alive, and the court must be unstable!
"Your Majesty, what ...... What about the Emperor of Datong, what should be done with it? ”
Shen An asked again, it was not his business to take care of, but since he wanted to spread these news, the rest of the supporting facilities must be done, otherwise it would be really difficult to convince the public.
For example, the question of how the emperor of Datong should appear in front of the world.
"Compare the sin of treason."
Yang Mu pondered for a moment and said.
Of course, the Datong Emperor is not a person from the Dacang Dynasty, and he is the emperor of a country, not to mention any rebellion, the reason why it is said to be punished according to the crime of rebellion is because in the Dacang Dynasty, the punishment for the rebel is also the highest, and the torture is so severe that it is even more painful than Ling Chi.
Why is it more painful than Ling Chi's punishment?
This has to say that Da Cang's heavy sentence is heavy.
After so many years of evolution, Dacang's punishment has become even more terrifying, and the strategy of leniency at the bottom and strictness at the top has been implemented.
What is the lower width and the upper strictness?
For example, if an ordinary civilian breaks the law, he will not be tortured, but for an intellectual, knowing the law and breaking the law, or something that has a very bad impact on the country and the royal family, then the punishment will be cruel beyond imagination.
In the Dacang Dynasty, once the crime of rebellion is convicted, it is necessary to punish the nine clans, and secondly, for the rebellious individuals, they must successively go through the palace punishment, nose shaving, bone scraping, dog devouring, human bi, bone scraping and other punishments, and finally Ling Chi's punishment.
In the Dacang Dynasty, this punishment has been established for more than ten years, and it has never been used.
This time, the Emperor of Datong can be regarded as enjoying a "special honor".
