Chapter 819: Cutting the Heart and Liver, Adjusting Blood and Wine, and Sacrificing Filial Piety
The Tang King in the car leaned out when he heard the sound, but he didn't know Qian Qianyi, and he didn't know what he said about entering the city or going to the tomb first, so he was a little hesitant and didn't know how to answer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This can't be blamed on King Tang, he was locked in a dark house with his father and brother by his grandfather since he was a child, he didn't even go to school, and he was almost starved to death. After finally getting free, he began to live a life of exile for more than ten years, many times he could not even guarantee three meals a day, and where did he have the opportunity to study, to know that what the old man outside the car said was the story of his Yan Fan Chengzu Emperor "Jing Nan" after entering Nanjing.
King Tang looked at Zhou Shixiang in astonishment, not knowing whether to visit the tomb or enter the city first.
Zhou Shixiang actually didn't know the allusions to Chengzu, but Qian Qianyi's words reminded him that there is a huge difference in political significance between first visiting the filial piety tomb and entering the city first and ascending the throne and then paying homage to the filial piety tomb. If you first pay homage to the filial piety tomb and then enter the city to ascend the throne, it is to report to the ancestors, and declare to the world that the Tang King has won the throne very right, not inherited from Yongli; However, if you ascend the throne first and then pay homage to the filial piety tomb, you will not be able to bypass the eternal calendar in the legal system, which is very unfavorable to the legitimacy and legitimacy of the Tang Dynasty regime in the future.
Therefore, Zhou Shixiang blurted out: "Your Highness's trip is for the tomb!" ”
Qian Qianyi said: "Please ask Your Highness to pay homage to the tomb!" Behind him, Wang Fuzhi, Huang Zongxi and other Confucian scholars who planned to pay homage to the tomb shouted at the same time, and thousands of Taiping soldiers also shouted together.
Emperor Taizu's filial piety tomb is in Zhongshan, as a descendant of Taizu, the Tang King should go to the tomb, see the hundred officials want him to pay tribute to the tomb, Zhou Shixiang also wants him to pay tribute to the tomb, the army and the people want him to visit the tomb, so he agreed to pay attention to the tomb first and then enter the city.
King Tang didn't think much about it, he just thought that this was a precedent, if he knew that Emperor Chengzu would ascend the throne as emperor after paying homage to the tomb, then I am afraid that he would never agree.
The king of Tang agreed to visit the tomb first, and Zhou Shixiang did not delay, and ordered the pro-army to turn, and the civil and military officials and gentry surrounded the king of Tang and went to the tomb of filial piety.
Zhongshan is pale and yellow!
Lush Zhongshan, the majestic city pass is in front of you. Zhou Shixiang raised his eyebrows slightly, held the reins, and looked at Zhongshan in the distance. The flag fluttered in the air, making a whirring sound, behind him was the mighty soldier brigade, and the crowd of people prostrate and bowed down on the side of the road in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion.
All of this has changed because of him!
On the way, Zhou Shixiang was reminded by Zhang Changgeng that since the prison country first paid homage to the filial piety mausoleum, he quickly brought Yue Le six people to the mausoleum to worship Emperor Taizu Gao. Zhou Shixiang agreed, and immediately ordered Yue Le and the six people to be brought quickly.
The car driver and the civil and military officials came to the filial piety tomb to worship. Walking to the front of the mausoleum, Zhou Shixiang stepped forward to ask for a prisoner, and the Tang King agreed. So he pulled out Yue Le, Sun Kewang, Lang Tingzuo, Zhu Guozhi, Liang Huafeng, and Esehei to the outside of the mausoleum, and the king of Tang also hated the Tartars and traitors, and said to take it.
"By His Royal Highness's order, the six thieves will be chopped alive, blood and wine, and hearts and livers will be slashed out to sacrifice Emperor Taizu Gao!"
Zhou Shixiang shouted, and immediately several executioners from the former Nanjing Criminal Department and two good men selected from the army responded to the call, and one person led two assistants to the six thieves who were bound.
Live?
Lang Tingzuo was stunned, he knew that he was going to die, but he didn't expect Zhou Shixiang to kill them alive!
Rao is Zhu Guozhi is dead heart for the Qing Dynasty, and when he hears the word "live", he is also trembling.
His legs were broken, and they were directly tied to the stake with a rope, and the sergeant near the left could see that the Manchurian university sergeant was already wet under his crotch.
Liang Huafeng was stubborn, and he was tied up there without saying a word.
Sun Kewang closed his eyes and waited for death, and when he died, he also had a bit of the heroic spirit of the past.
Yue Le's eyes were in a daze, and the six gods wandered, but he didn't know his fate, and he looked at the executioner in front of him stupidly.
When the civil and military officials, together with the gentry and the common people, heard that Yue Le and the other six people were going to be cut alive, some were excited, some were surprised, some were shocked, and some were not impressed. Before His Royal Highness the prisoner sacrificed the tomb, he was beheaded according to the canonical system, where did he come to behead him alive? This is inconsistent with the ancestral system, and it also makes the act of sacrificing the tomb too cruel and bloody.
It is true that Tang Wang did not read, but he knew that the living chopping was Ling Chi. Yuan Chonghuan, the overseer of the Chongzhen Dynasty, was tortured to death. He is benevolent by nature, and he can't bear this torture, so he intends to behead people directly, but Zhou Shixiang said that these six people are responsible for the lives of the Han family, and they don't know how they can be worthy of the dead Han people.
Zhou Shixiang insisted on cutting alive, and it was inconvenient for Tang Wang to say any more. The king of Tang did not object, and where would anyone dare to oppose it. Qian Qianyi and the gentry also thought clearly, the left and right were to be killed, since the Duke of Yue insisted on Ling Chi and the six thieves, then Ling Chi would be fine. There is no need to have a conflict with Yue Guogong over this trivial matter.
Zhang Huangyan was excited, he broke Manchurian that day, and he finally slashed two Manchurian Tartars with his own hands and fulfilled his long-cherished wish. Today, I can see that the prince of Manchu was executed by Ling Chi, and I want to know about it under the spring of Dingxi Hou, which is enough to be blind.
"Execution!"
The blind man Li stepped forward excitedly and shouted, and several executioners immediately stepped forward. In fact, none of them had ever carried out the punishment of Ling Chi, but they had heard how to do it. Ling Chi is divided into three classes, and those of the first class have to cut three thousand three hundred and fifty-seven knives; the second class shall cut two thousand eight hundred and ninety-six cuts; and the third class shall be cut with 1,585 cuts. No matter how many knives are cut, the last knife goes down, and the criminal should be killed. Before that, if the offender died, the executioner would be punished.
Such a strict requirement means that there can be no error in the execution process. Each piece of meat must be about the same size, otherwise it will not be enough to make up the number of knives needed for execution. The knife hand must be calm and calm during the execution, and there must be no fluctuations in the heart, let alone irritability, otherwise, the punishment will not be carried out.
Fortunately, the Taiping Army has no hard requirements for these swordsmen, only let them cut them alive, but how many knives are casual, which gives the swordsmen confidence, otherwise they can't finish if they really set a standard number of knives.
After Zhou Shixiang left last night, the six thieves ate a good meal, and the jargon is a severed head meal. One by one, they would be pulled forward, tied to a stake more than a man high, unable to move.
Torture is torture, but is there no cooler criminal law in the world?
On that day, how was Chen Gongzizhuang killed by the big saw!
The torture in front of the mausoleum is to tell those Manchurian Tartars and the Han people who are willing to be their lackeys that it is not that God will not clean you up, but the time has not yet come; When the time comes, your fate will be worse than death!
"Go to the knife!"
An elderly knife hand shouted at the top of his voice, and then with a flick of the sharp knife in his hand, he shaved off a piece of flesh from the chest of the Governor of Liangjiang in front of him. Lang Tingzuo snorted, but tried his best to look like he was at home, but his lips trembled, and the fear on his face could not be hidden. Pieces of flesh flew out of his chest, and a line of blood shot out of the recess. Blood fell down the edge of the knife, staining his body red. Knife after knife, piece after piece, and soon, there was no whole piece of meat on Lang Tingzuo's chest, all red meat that had been peeled.
Lang Tingzuo was really able to bear it, he kept clenching his teeth, he didn't look at the executioner in front of him with his eyes, let alone his face, he only looked up at the sky. Because only in this way can he minimize his fears. However, a few small moans. The groan reached the Knifeman's ears, letting him know that he was executing a living person, not an unconscious dead person.
On the side, another knife hand was executing Yue Le, the prince of Manchu in the Qing Dynasty. This knife hand is a little young, but he is the knife hand apprentice who executed Lang Tingzuo. The young man was inevitably nervous when he drove the duck to the shelves for the first time, so the first knife was heavy, and a piece of meat the size of a palm was cut out at once, which scared him to stay for a long time, until the master threw an encouraging look at him, and the Taiping army who watched the punishment did not shout and accuse, so he carefully stabbed the second time.
Prince An is not stupid, he just closed himself, or he is unwilling to accept the facts in front of him. Because a fool won't know that it hurts, but Prince An knows that it hurts.
Yue Le gasped in pain, he didn't know how many knives the executioner had inflicted on him, he only knew that the sharp knife in front of him kept falling and rising, and in addition to blood, it was a piece of flesh on his body. With a knife down, the young knife hand is obviously becoming more and more proficient. Yue Le's ribs appeared on his chest, and a thin film was covered between the bones, and the beating heart was faintly visible.
Sun Kewang's performance made the knife hand feel admired and surprised, because from the beginning to the end, the prisoner in front of him did not let out a scream.
Liang Huafeng's performance was also good, except for the two knives at the beginning, he let out a few vague moans, and he didn't make a sound after that. However, no matter how strong a man is, as long as he takes his file away, he will no longer be majestic, which is the same as cutting off the mane of a fiery horse and plucking the feathers of a rooster.
Liang Huafeng's consciousness was very clear, and he found that the executioner who used the knife against him suddenly lowered his head and looked at his lower body, and the corners of the Taiping army who were watching the execution behind him were full of smirks. He was startled, realized something, he wanted to shrink, but he couldn't. He felt as if the thing had been pulled straight, and then as soon as it was cold, the baby walked away.
"Ahh ...”
Liang Huafeng's howl was very scary. No, it was all six people screaming at the same time, because their baby bumps were all cut off.
Yue Le's voice was very rash, like a ghost barking in the middle of the night, and like a cat in heat being kicked violently; Lang Tingzuo's voice was high-pitched, as if he had instantly turned into a woman; The forehead was black and "whining", his whole body was twisted in pain, and his body kept rubbing on the stake; Zhu Guozhi barked like a castrated male dog; Sun Kewang was not so heroic after all, and he began to scream. His heroism was no longer there as early as that rainy night, and this knife only cut off the last bit of his man's confidence.
The miserable howl of the six thieves made many of the officials and gentry who were present to watch the execution so frightened that they turned their heads and did not dare to look at it again. Tang Wang also turned his head, it was really miserable. He had seen many terrible things, but he had never seen a large living person dismembered into a white skeleton alive.
Zhou Shixiang's gaze was never far from the six thieves, and there was a sense of happiness in his heart. This is the pleasure of revenge for hatred, and this is the pleasure of comforting parents, wives and children.
Yue Le howled continuously, his body twisted, the clearly visible heart was beating very violently, and the sound of "bang bang" was clearly audible. Sun Kewang's head also swayed sharply from side to side, and his head hit the execution pillar with a dull sound. His eyes were red with blood, and his facial features had been distorted beyond recognition, and anyone who saw such a face would have nightmares for the rest of their lives.
"Brute!"
Lang Tingzuo didn't know where he got the strength to scold: "Thief Xiucai, thief Xiucai!" I can't kill you in life, and when I die, I will turn into a ghost and take your life.. If you have done this to us, you will be punished in the future. ...”
"I'm not afraid of the living, am I still afraid of a dead ghost? As for the future, I never thought about it. Zhou Shixiang waved his hand coldly and ordered the knife hand: "Cut off this thief's tongue!" ”
Hearing Zhou Dashuai's majestic and annoyed voice sounding in the back of his head, the knife was stunned for a moment, he looked at the former Liangjiang Governor who was being tortured in front of him, and found that his mouth was full of blood foam, and there was no way to cut it at all. However, Zhou Dashuai's order could not be disobeyed, so the knifeman took the knife in his mouth, lifted the bucket of water that his assistant had received, and splashed it on Lang Tingzuo's face.
A bucket of water suddenly splashed on his face, making Lang Tingzuo's nose unable to breathe for a while, the knife hand aimed at the opportunity, reached out and pinched Lang's throat, pinched it to death, Lang's face became the color of pig liver, his mouth opened wide, and his tongue spit out. The knife hand pinched Lang's throat with one hand and did not dare to let go, and with the other hand took the knife from his mouth, and with a shake of the tip of the knife, Lang's tongue was cut off.
"The tongue of the man has been cut!"
The knife hand held Lang Tingzuo's tongue in his hand to show the public, and he felt the tongue in his hand tremble. Blood spurted out of Lang Tingzo's mouth. On his body, blood and water were mixed. Without a tongue, he was still scolding, but no one heard what he was scolding anymore.
Knife after knife, Yue Le, Lang Tingzuo, Sun Kewang, Zhu Guozhi, Esehei, and Liang Huafeng turned into white bones one after another. There was no flesh on their bodies, only bloody bones, and the two eyeballs in the skulls could no longer move.
On the long table set up in front of the mausoleum, the hearts and livers of the six thieves are enshrined, and several jars of wine that have long been opened are full of their blood.
After the sacrifice of the Tang King was completed, Zhou Shixiang suddenly ordered people to fill the long table with large bowls and pour bowls of blood wine into bowls.
He walked over to the long table and drank a bowl of blood wine. (To be continued.) )
