Chapter 024: Human Nature
"The Zhao family is ruined...... At this point, what is the purpose of you coming to deliberately humiliate me? Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info do you need my life to make a stepping stone for your ascension to the throne? Okay, just take it, just ask you to let go of their mother and daughter, they are just women, and they will not be a threat to your country, okay? "After these few days, Emperor Lizong's spirit has been completely shattered. He also didn't believe that Hong Tao would continue to keep him and his family, there was never such a precedent in history, and he didn't want to be the queen of Chen.
"Your Majesty, no one wants to take your throne, and no one wants to kill the royal family. Brother Hong and I just think that Da Song can get better, but through normal means, we can't get control of Da Song, so we can only make this decision. Please believe that as long as I Wennan lives for one day, you will still be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. "Wen Nan finally dared to show his face in front of Emperor Lizong, and it was not forced by Hong Tao, but came voluntarily. The vicious plan to kill hundreds of officials was said, and this layer of window paper was pierced, and his inner thoughts changed.
“…… Minister of Moon, why did you get to this point? I asked myself if there is no place to be sorry for the people in the world, am I really so unbearable? Emperor Lizong was not surprised to see Wen Nan, he had been mentally prepared since the moment Da Hongtao appeared in front of him. As for what Wen Nan said, he still couldn't figure it out, if he wasn't worthy of being the emperor, why should he keep himself?
"Your Majesty, if the Jinhe Empire and the Great Song Dynasty go to war, who do you think will win in the end?" Hong Tao had been standing by the door frame, he didn't want to get too close to Emperor Lizong, not because he was afraid that he would hurt people, but because Jia Guifei and the princess behind Emperor Lizong looked at him with very fearful, helpless, and sad eyes. These two women are indeed innocent, and they have indeed hurt them for their own purposes, and the taste of being treated as devils is indeed not so pleasant, so just stay away.
"Our dynasty has always been friendly with Jinhe Kingdom, how can there be a war...... Emperor Lizong hated Hong Tao to the bone, but he didn't dare to offend this great evil god, these days after the mountains from those screams echoed day and night, think about it to know what is going on, so the question has to be answered.
"Friendship? You're still blinding yourself. The Jinhe Empire was established by me, and it was only more than 20 years before and after, but I can already regard the Great Song Dynasty as nothing, and attack it if I want to, doesn't this explain the problem? In terms of governing the country, I am stronger than you, and I think my ancestors are Han people, and I can't bear to see that the national love of the Han people is getting weaker and weaker in your hands, and it will soon be shattered by the Jinhe Empire. The country could have been stronger, so why not? ”
"Just now you said that the Great Song Dynasty is your Zhao family's country, which is very wrong. Da Song is not anyone's family, but everyone's. If you can't change this concept, you will never be able to take the Great Song Dynasty to become rich and strong. But then again, is your Zhao family's emperor really good-for-nothing? No, personally, I think you're doing a pretty good job. This is also the main reason why I want to keep this throne for you, which can be regarded as a reward for your Zhao family's efforts for generations to the Great Song Dynasty, and never gave up when the strong enemy invaded. ”
"But this emperor is not the same as the previous emperors, you should have studied what the emperor of the Golden River Empire, that is, the emperor of me and my son, was like. In the future, you and your descendants will do my previous job well, just to be an emperor and participate in certain government affairs conditionally, mainly as a symbol and spiritual existence of the empire. Whether you want it or not, this is irresistible, I advise you to think about the entire royal family, do this job well, and cooperate with us to govern the Great Song Dynasty well. ”
"These are the things that need to be done at tomorrow's court meeting, you take a good look at it first, it doesn't matter if you can't remember it, you can go to the court with the manuscript. By the way, tomorrow's morning party will start at the hour of the hour, and it will be this hour in the future, don't get up in the middle of the night and toss around, you are not tired, others are tired. Think about what I said, and in the future, we monarchs and ministers will have a lot of time to talk about these issues in detail. Of course, you have to be able to make sure that you can live until the future, listen carefully to my every word and do 100% to ensure that you and they continue to live. Hong Tao didn't want to influence the emperor, he didn't have the patience, and there was no need to do it. Keeping him as the emperor is just a transitional way, and in the end, the throne of the Zhao family will still be replaced, and if he can't replace him, he will have to hand it over to Jinhe. It is estimated that Emperor Lizong will become a very special last emperor in the history books, and the reason why he is special is because he and his imperial family will not be killed by later generations, but will gradually become ordinary people, and there will be opportunities to participate in political activities.
"You've been crying in the garden for the past few days, you've got everything you want, why do you want them to come here with their wounds? You say, I will agree to whatever I want, so don't be embarrassed for them, I'm ashamed of them......" Emperor Lizong looked at the stack of documents handed over by Hong Tao, and his heart was full of death. It's not enough to become a prisoner, you have to let yourself and those ministers go to court like nothing, this is too much to treat people as people!
"Hurt? Hahahaha...... Your Majesty, your heart and eyes are really good, but if you worry too much, they basically don't have any injuries on their bodies. They were the ones who made them, and I heard them, but they didn't have to hurt them. It seems that you are still inferior to me in terms of how to torture people. So, I'm going to take this opportunity to show you how I make people sent. Come on, wait for the princess to be waterboarded! "How dare you stare at yourself! And talk weird to yourself! It seems that this Emperor Lizong still hasn't completely corrected his position. Just don't do anything, Emperor Lizong is a little old, it is not appropriate to punish him, Jia Guifei is not young, it is not suitable, it is better to be replaced by a princess.
Hearing Hong Tao's order, the two swallows walked over to the princess with expressionless faces, and dragged the crying princess out of the arms of the concubine and the emperor without saying a word, and threw it on the round table. One rode on her stomach and held her up, and one took a piece of cotton cloth handed over by the Marines and covered the princess's face. At this time, some Marines had already brought a poke of water from the well in the courtyard, scooped it up with a scoop, and slowly poured it on the cotton cloth.
The cotton cloth soon soaked through and stuck to the princess's mouth and nose. In order to get more air, the princess had to open her mouth and pant through the soaked cotton cloth, but the amount of air was limited, and more water entered her mouth and nose. Hong Tao hadn't tried how uncomfortable this taste was, but he could almost imagine it, and it should be similar to what a person feels when he is about to be drowned. The whole chest cavity was tearing and painful, there seemed to be dozens of small needles pricking in the lungs, and although the nose and throat were full of water, it felt like a fire was burning.
If you want to ask Hong Tao how he knows what it feels like to be drowning, who let him soak in the sea when he crossed, and when he just woke up, those few mouthfuls of seawater were almost like drowning. In his previous life and in this life, he used this method to torture those disobedient sailors, and the effect was only one word, good! No matter how strong a person is, he has to kneel and beg for mercy when he pours a bucket of water, and if he doesn't accept it, he will pour it again, and when he will finish it. It is said that later generations of Americans also used this trick when interrogating terrorists in Guantanamo, and if it didn't work, those CIA agents would use it?
In addition to its good effect, this method also has a special advantage, that is, it basically does not harm the physical body of the inmate. After stopping watering, it will take less than five minutes to recover, except for mental stimulation, there is no physical injury, and you can immediately be alive and like a good person. Of course, if the inmate's heart is not very good, he or she may also die suddenly during the torture. In the previous three days, four Great Song officials had died at the hands of Jia Nidao and Ding Daquan, which was the case.
"Let me go...... I'm on court! I'm on court! Let me go! Emperor Lizong saw that the princess was convulsing all over, but she couldn't scream, so he knew how uncomfortable she was, and the only way to save his daughter was to beg Hongtao. He still really loves this daughter, and in order to make her suffer less sin, he bent his legs and knelt down for Hong Tao.
"Stand up, dare to kneel, and I'll add another bucket of water to her. Take a good look at her at this time, keep it in mind, and think back to the present when you have any stupid ideas in the future. Don't worry, she won't die, let her go when this bucket of water is finished. In addition, tell her that you are not allowed to seek death, otherwise I will punish the people in the royal family one by one. Your life is mine, and I have the final say when I cry, when I laugh, when I die. Hong Tao grabbed Song Lizong's neck collar, lifted him up with one hand, squinted his small eyes, and twisted Emperor Lizong's face in the direction of the round table with a cruel smile, and whispered like chatting with an old friend, but the content was not so pleasant.
"Do you have to torture an old man like this......" After pouring a bucket of water, the princess was already paralyzed on the round table motionless, if it weren't for the fact that her chest was still rising and falling, it was no different from death, to be precise, she was dizzy, she was dizzy. Hong Tao only glanced over and made sure that the princess was not dead, so he pulled Wen Nan out of the main hall. Wen Nan still had objections to Hong Tao's humiliation of Emperor Lizong and the royal princess in this way.
"I'm older than him, so let's think of it as an elder brother teaching my younger brother. He brought it on himself! Surrender is a little more complete, and you can only choose one if you want to save face or die. He will still be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for a period of time in the future, if he is so greasy and crooked, he will not only seek death himself, but also put us in danger. Whoever adds danger to me is my enemy, and I have been very polite to my enemy. "Morality and etiquette are all premises, if your life is threatened, even if it is only potential, Hong Tao must be anxious. When life is at stake, all morality and etiquette are nonsense.
