Chapter 366: Li Shutai, who was scolded to death
Li Shutai is now in great pain, and he himself has not succeeded in martyrdom for his Great Qing Dynasty, so that he is now in a situation where he is being scolded by others. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When a person scolds him, he may be angry, and when a group of people scold him, he may just smile lightly, but when countless people come to scold him, and criticize him one after another, Li Shutai has a feeling of being cut by a thousand knives.
Basically, every day, Li Shutai would be dragged out of the edict by the Jinyi guards to be scolded by officials and soldiers, and then he would be taken back to the edict at night.
And Zhu Youxiao didn't want to kill Li Shuitai, so after a month or two, Li Shuitai himself couldn't stand it.
On this day, when the two Jinyi Guard Captains came to ask him to go out to accept the criticism and re-education of the majority of Ming officials and scholars, he finally knelt down to the two Jinyi Guard Captains, and kowtowed like garlic and said: "Two poor masters, please let me die, I can die any way!" ”
Li Shutai cried so much that tears were in his eyes, he knelt on the ground and walked towards the two brocade guards step by step, pointing to himself and said: "Use a tiger chair, use a soldering iron, press with a sackcloth, whip it, a thousand knives are fine, just beg you, don't let them scold me anymore, okay, I can't stand it, I can't stand it!" ”
"But it's weird, Your Majesty didn't do anything to you, just let you drink some spittle, and made you uncomfortable like this, and blindly begged for death, but, I'm sorry, it's not up to us to decide who lives and who to die, the life and death of everyone in the world is determined by His Majesty the Emperor today, Your Majesty won't let you die, and our two little Jinyi Guards don't dare to call the shots."
As he spoke, the two brocade-clothed guard captains pulled Li Shutai out of Beizhen Fusi and walked towards the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
Today's rally to criticize Li Shutai is in the Ministry of Rites, and all the officials of the Ministry of Rites have to criticize Li Shutai's traitorous behavior and the crime of martyrdom for Jiannu and even killing his mother, wife and children.
The Metropolitan Inspectorate, the Ministry of Officials, and the officials of the Six Departments will also come to the scene and evaluate and supervise these officials according to their performance.
Once there is a criticism that is not good enough, or does not move Li Shutai, it will be recorded as a bad record, and even the officials of the Imperial History and the Sixth Branch can use this to impeach these officials.
For this reason, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had to quote scriptures and scold Li Shutai for a while, among which in order to make Li Shutai moved, they even directly grabbed Li Shutai's prison uniform, spit a few mouthfuls of saliva on his face, and then scolded vigorously.
According to the rules, as long as you don't use your hands to fight, it is permissible to pull the collar and accidentally spit because you are too angry, so these officials of the Ministry of Rites who are too excited can be forgiven.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty are good at scolding, especially these noble officials who serve in the Ministry of Rites, Hanlin Academy and other places, their biggest political advantage is that they are powerful. ‘
It's just that today's Zhu Youxiao has changed their advantage from scolding himself as the emperor to scolding the stubborn who worked hard for Jiannu and even wants to be a model traitor!
Li Shutai's current feeling in his heart can be described as a five-flavor miscellaneous, he didn't expect that he would be so scolded by so many people who are also in the Confucian forest, he really couldn't stand it, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and knelt down directly, kneeling down towards these officials of the Ministry of Rites who were like shrews scolding the street in front of him: "Ladies and gentlemen, I beg you, please let me go, you kill me!" ”
Although Li Shutai had already knelt, the officials of the Ministry of Rites still ignored him, but scolded even more, because they all knew that their performance today was known by His Majesty today, and they didn't have time to care about Li Shutai's feelings.
Li Shutai saw that these Ming officials were still indifferent, he had to lower his dignity again, and slammed his head on the ground: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't forget my ancestors, I, Li Shutai, am a sinner through the ages!" ”
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, please let me go, I am a big traitor, I am a big traitor who has been scolded by 10,000 people! Whining! ”
Li Shutai couldn't help but cry, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
However, the officials of the Ministry of Rites still didn't care if Li Shuitai was sad because of despair or really sad because of repentance at this time, anyway, they have only one goal now, that is, to keep scolding, keep reprimanding this Li Shutai, so that the Jinyi guards and the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who were present know about it, so that His Majesty can know that he has not done his best to scold.
"Your Majesty, in the early hours of this morning, I just got the news that Li Shutai committed suicide by hitting the wall in the edict prison, as if he wanted to be able to hit and die, and he directly hit his brain, and he cried for a while before."
Wang Chengen came early in the morning to report to Zhu Youxiao about Li Shutai, so that Zhu Youxiao had to throw the pearl rice porridge on the table, and had no interest in drinking it again, and said: "I didn't expect him to be so scolded, and finally chose to commit suicide, but it's no wonder that in the face of everyone's scolding, even if he is really a devout believer, his belief will be shaken, but I didn't expect him to be so unbearable, I still want him to go to Jiangnan to be scolded again." ”
Saying that, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Cremate it directly, such a person's bones are not worthy of being left in my Daming!" ”
Li Shutai's incident is just a small incident in the ten years of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, he is more like His Majesty the Ming Emperor who deliberately engaged in a unique way of dealing with it, but this kind of disposal made all the literati shudder, no one thought that His Majesty would deal with a person who was determined to stay innocent in the world in such a way!
For civil officials, they are not afraid of death many times, but the four words of fear are not immune to them, so this time Li Shutai's incident is just a punishment for a traitor, but it does make these civil officials more honest, and they dare not be used by His Majesty to participate in the criticism again.
Zhu Youxiao's method is just to let the literati and the literati fight with each other, although it is not very new, but the effect is obvious, let the undisciplined people scold the disciplined people, maybe in this way, more flexible but can adhere to the principle of the emergence of more capable people.
The news of Li Shutai's death also spread to the outside of the Guan, for those traitors who were still serving Jiannu outside the Guan, especially the traitors who were still blindly holding the goal of being loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, this news made them feel more uneasy than the assassination, they did not expect that even if they had to hold the ideal of keeping festivals to preserve the Confucian personality, they would be broken, which also shows that in this way, Zhu Youxiao directly deprived them of the dream of being a lonely minister.
