Chapter 15: The Duel
The illness of the scholar's mother is not only as simple as wind and cold, but also caused by the accumulation of work. The wind chill is just an introduction, and this illness is the cause of the whole body at the same time, and all the pain adds up like a knife.
It's hellish torture for an old man.
In the face of such suffering, the old man even had the idea of suicide, but under the pleading of his son, he survived hard, just because his son cried with the sentence "For your son, live well, okay".
But every time in the middle of the night, the old man was always woken up in pain. In order to prevent her son from finding out, the mother could only bite the quilt while moaning in pain.
However, the mother and son are connected, how can the scholar not know.
Looking at his mother's aching silver hair full of tears, his face was hideously deformed, and he couldn't stop rolling on the bed, the scholar's heart hurt like a knife. In order to make his mother's illness better, the scholar sold paintings on the street and went up the mountain to cut wood, and his originally tender fingers accumulated thick calluses.
Take your hard-earned money.
The scholar hired a doctor with great expectations, hoping to free his mother from the devastation of illness as soon as possible.
There are all kinds of situations in the world, and those who are unsatisfactory are nine times out of ten.
He thought that his mother would be cured immediately, but who would have thought that in exchange for the doctor's head, his mother was terminally ill and could live for five years at most, and in those five years, every day, every night, and even every hour would suffer untold suffering.
She can only live in endless pain.
This result is like a bolt from the blue, and the scholar is stupid.
The scholar never thought that it would be such a result, he was still in time for high school, and he hadn't let his mother enjoy a breath of blessing, how could this be...... How can this be!
Watching her mother live in torment every day, not thinking about tea, not eating, and losing nearly a circle in a month, the already thin mother is like a piece of paper at this time, and the light weight is the same as a few months of baby, which makes people feel distressed.
Finally, the scholar collapsed, and he didn't persuade him, so he watched his mother commit suicide.
In his eyes, perhaps only death could free his mother. Being alive is the greatest torture for mothers.
The scholar's name is Tang Yin!
Li Tianzhao's eyes trembled slightly, recalling that in his previous life, many parents and old people, once they got sick, in order not to put pressure on their children, they directly reported their will to die, and they didn't even live in the hospital, and went home to die.
There are also people who are suffering from illness.
It's like a vegetative person, it's better if the family takes care of it properly, if not, I'm afraid it's not as good as a dog.
There are all kinds of painkillers in that world.
But in this ancient world, what else can you do but endure?
If this matter is left on Li Tianzhao, Li Tianzhao will definitely not let his mother die in front of him, even if he is bankrupt. But this is an ancient time when science and technology were backward, and many modern diseases that can be treated are terminal diseases.
Hell tortures like life, and death like liberation.
Both of these choices seem to be difficult to choose.
There is no way, maybe in the eyes of the scholar, instead of letting his mother suffer every day, maybe death is the best relief.
Is this the only thing that should be put to death?
Li Tianzhao was a little puzzled, although the scholar watched his mother die in front of him and did not stop it, but in his opinion, at most it could be regarded as inaction! At best, he could serve a month or two of forced labor.
Sin doesn't lead to death.
Seeing His Royal Highness's doubts, Wu Qi said: "Your Highness, our Great Zhou has always pursued a hundred lines of filial piety first, this is an unfilial piety, a great crime, and the autumn queen is already regarded as an open side!"
Are the laws so harsh now?
Kill at every turn.
Li Tianzhao sighed, patiently, looked at the others, and listened one by one.
He wanted to see what the laws of the Great Zhou were like, and what did these people do?
Immediately afterwards, Li Tianzhao saw what is important to the law, what is absurd, what is ignorant, what is incredible, and what is unreasonable.
Abandon the ashes of the Taoist!
Or pick mulberry leaves, Zang does not make a penny, can be said to be thirty years.
Adult males who howl for no reason will be sent to the government.
......
Listening to these laws of the Great Zhou, Li Tianzhao was an eye-opener. What littering on the road, tattoos on the face. What steals other people's mulberry leaves, less than one penny, and serves thirty days of forced labor. The adults wailed loudly for no reason and sent them to the official yamen......
and a series of brutal death sentences.
Zhulian, also known as the joint sitting system, one person commits a crime, the Zhulian family and even the township.
With five punishments, that is, the so-called "slashing, slashing, cutting off the toes, cutting off the tongue, and severing the head". To put it simply, it is to tattoo words on the face, gouge out the nose, cut off the toes, cut off the tongue, and cut off the head in the street to set an example.
Weng killed, please enter the urn, add materials and fire, and cook life and death.
......
Listening to these tortures, even if Li Tianzhao had great psychological endurance, he couldn't help but tremble, it was so cruel that the ancient system was so brutal.
"Your Highness, if you want peace in troubled times, you can't do without the law!" Wu Qi seemed to notice His Highness's changed expression, and said with his hand.
Li Tianzhao waved his hand, waiting for him to reorganize the mountains and rivers.
The laws of this Great Zhou Dynasty must be abolished, and he will reform and eliminate the new, and save the people from fire and water.
......
The north wind was howling, and on the city wall sat an ancient old man, looking into the distance deeply, with a little wisdom in his cloudy eyes.
A soldier was kneeling down on one knee in front of the old man, telling what he had seen and heard, the content of which was exactly what he had seen and heard in the dungeon of the palace, and he said it all meticulously.
Huang Shi smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Although His Royal Highness Tianzhao didn't say anything, it is very likely that he has hostility towards this corrupt law in his heart, and he is afraid that on the day His Highness ascends the throne, the entire Great Zhou will usher in an unprecedented dynasty.
His Royal Highness is benevolent and virtuous, and he will surely reform.
The heart of His Royal Highness is the heart of the old minister.
"By the way, what about Pingtiandi?"
"Lord of the city, it seems that the world is going to compete with His Royal Highness. ”
By force?
Huang Shi's slightly pale face showed a hint of mockery, His Royal Highness's martial arts were that he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with him when he was young, and this peaceful world wanted to challenge His Highness, purely looking for death.
It seems that this charge will be firmly in the account.
Leaping fifteen feet, I'm afraid that only those who are legendary can do it.
Looking ahead, the old man fell into deep thought.
......
Huangling Dojo, the place where the army of Huanglong County is trained.
At this time, the dojo was very lively, surrounded by people, to be precise, surrounded by soldiers, under the bonfire, the dark surroundings were illuminated transparently, as if it were daytime.
In the middle of the field, there were two people standing.
A slightly immature and heroic young man dressed in white, fluttering like a fairy, makes people want to bow and worship, this person is the legendary His Royal Highness Tianzhao.
The other person, tall and sturdy, gives people a great sense of oppression on his face alone, this person is the general of Pingtian who fell into Pingyang.
"Come on, Your Highness will beat this flat dog!"
"A guy who doesn't know what to do dares to challenge His Highness Tianzhao and kill this flat dog!"
"Pingtiandi, I'm still urinating in the world, it's shameless!"
"His Royal Highness Tianzhao is unparalleled in the world, and one finger can suppress him!"
"Guy who doesn't measure himself, are you worthy of challenging His Highness Tianzhao?"
Listening to the mocking words around him, the bridge of Pingtiandi's nose trembled, thinking about when he was the leader of the 100,000 forbidden army, the general of Pingtiandi, had been so insulted.
shouted angrily: "Your Royal Highness Tianzhao, you are a small body, I am really afraid that I will send you back to the West to see Da Zhou with one punch, are you sure you can stand the power of my punch?"
Anger is angry, Pingtiandi still has a trace of reason in his head, looking at the attitude of these people, it seems that His Royal Highness Tianzhao is very loud here.
I can't kill him, I can only capture him alive.
In this way, he can retreat with his whole body, but even if he retreats, what can he do? The princes of the northern kingdom are afraid that it is impossible to let themselves go.
For his future, Pingtian is very at a loss.
"If you can defeat His Highness, His Highness will pardon you and allow you to live in Huanglong County, of course, you can also leave on your own!"
"This is true!" Ping Tiandi's expression was a little excited, if he could stay in Huanglong County, he would have time to deploy, plan, and ......
"His Royal Highness's Chrysostom has never lost his words?"
"Okay! Now that His Highness has opened, I should let His Highness enjoy himself!"
