Chapter 714: The Sacrifice (Part II)

As for the large number of Han wrappers, they didn't send them to Jingshi at all, and they were directly distributed to different mining areas on the way. Waiting for their fate is just to live longer than their master.

It's not that Gao Yang doesn't have mercy, but he has to do it in the midst of a brutal war! There are many things that even Gao Yang is not easy to violate. Although he has the ability to break everything! Whatever you do, you have to pay the same price. This is a matter of course.

In addition, people like Shang Kexi and others were all taken into the prison and waiting for the trial of the three divisions. They belong to the treason, and it is not their turn to participate in such a thing as sacrificing to the Taimiao. It's also considered to be an extra period of time. Although in the end, it will inevitably be the end of the vegetable market.

As for Zu Dashou, it is a special case. Although he was also imprisoned, he was not in prison, but was only temporarily placed under house arrest in Wu Xiang's mansion. According to Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts, after Yousi Luo listed all kinds of evidence that Zu Dashou would not be able to offset the merits even if he made a little credit, he would also follow the path of Shang Kexi and others.

Emperor Chongzhen hated Zu Dashou very much! The Ming Empire has fallen to the point it is today. The Liao salary that Guan Ningjun forced out and dragged down the entire empire was definitely an important reason. Zu Dashou fell into his hands this time, as long as Gao Yang did not clearly say that he would save Zu Dashou's life. Then no one can save him!

Gao Yang did not participate in this sacrifice event, which did not have much significance in his eyes. He hid under a large canopy and watched the event from afar.

The rain in the sky gradually eased. The lightning and thunder have disappeared. The heavens and the earth gradually fell silent. In the distance, there were bursts of crying from the crowd of Manchurian magnates who were pressed by the darkness.

No matter how ferocious and brutal they are on the battlefield. These Manchurian magnates are also just a group of ordinary people. They also have normal emotions and desires, and they are also afraid of death! It's just that in the past, it was they who killed others as victors. At this moment, it was their turn to be killed by someone else.

"Really...... It's a boring scene. Gao Yang shook his head slightly and sighed lightly.

"What? Relented? Origin quipped.

"Huh." Gao Yang shook his head with a chuckle, and said indifferently, "That's not enough." In troubled times. This kind of thing is very common. They can kill others, and others can kill them. There's not much to say about that. ”

"And what are you upset about?" Origin asked curiously.

"I was born in an era of peace and grew up in a generation under the red flag. Moral education is not taught in vain. It's natural to feel when you see this kind of scene. This scene cannot be stopped. But it's okay not to participate, not to watch. Gao Yang waved his hand. Stand up. He took his gaze back from the Manchurian magnates in the distance. Shaking his head slightly, he turned to leave. The next thing is something that Gao Yang, who was born in a modern moral society, doesn't want to see. Even if this matter was originally caused by himself. Sometimes, in the face of some things, you can choose to leave when you can't change them.

Not long after Gao Yang left, the sacrificial text was finally read. The * part of the sacrificial temple arrived. Groups of sergeants stepped forward and pulled the sacrifices, ready to be sacrificed. Supreme hour. The performance of these Manchurian magnates varied. There are those who are gray and accept their fate. There are people crying and screaming, and they want to drag on for a while longer. Of course, there is also the indispensable scolding, cursing who and who. What happened to Lao Tzu eighteen years later. It's a pity that no matter what these people do or say, the final outcome has been doomed.

......

Emperor Chongzhen felt that he had never been so happy. Today seems to be the happiest day since he ascended the throne. The smile on his face barely left. waited until he returned to the palace before the smile on Zhu Youzhen's face gradually retracted. remembered that he and Gao Yang still had an agreement. hurriedly sent Wang Chengen to invite Gao Yang over.

Gao Yang, who went back to his mansion and took a good nap, woke up and the sky was already clear. The fresh smell of the first sunny day after the rain made Gao Yang like it very much. After a simple wash, I went to the palace with Wang Chengen. He has to explain some things to Zhu Youzhen, and then he will return to modern time and space for a period of time to go on vacation.

"Master!" Walk through the vast palace. An immature shout made Gao Yang pause. Looking back, a little boy of about seven or eight years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was running towards him with joy. The boy was followed by a man of about six or seven years of age. A little girl with a lollipop in her mouth and delicate pink makeup. At this moment, he is looking at Gao Yang with a pair of big eyes. Obviously, she still has an impression of Gao Yang.

"Huh." Gao Yang chuckled. He opened his arms and picked up the little boy who was running and turned around twice before putting the little boy down.

"Youdi, how are you doing?" Gao Yang chuckled and stretched out his hand to pat Chen Youdi's head. Asked out loud. This little boy is naturally the Chen Youdi who Gao Yang rescued when he first came to this time and space. This can be regarded as a kind of fate. Gao Yang can't help all those who are suffering. But within the limits of his ability, there was nothing wrong with changing the fate of the little boy.

Chen Youdi was accepted as an official apprentice by Gao Yang. It's not that we want to teach him any modern advanced ideas and technology. It's a form of identification. With this identity, the orphan's fate was completely changed in an instant.

Just by looking at his current dress and complexion, you know that he must have lived a very good life in the palace during this time. And there is Princess Zhaoren following behind him. Not to mention ordinary people, even the children of powerful families do not have this kind of treatment. He went to school in the study with several princes of Zhu Youzhen! Even the residence is in the palace! Raised by Empress Zhou herself.

Of course, Gao Yang could understand what Emperor Chongzhen meant. He did not have any objection to Zhu Youzhen's approach. On the contrary, I think it's pretty good. At least for Chen Youdi, this is a good thing in the real sense. Change the fate of a life destined for an early death. It's a nice feeling.

"Master, you're back. We also want to go out to meet Master. But the queen wouldn't let us out. Chen Youdi's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Gao Yang. At his age, he was able to begin to distinguish between right and wrong. For the master who changed his fate, his heart was full of admiration.

"It's right not to let you go. It's raining so hard outside. What should I do if I get sick from the shower? After Gao Yang finished speaking, he beckoned to Princess Zhaoren, who was not far away, and motioned for the little princess, who had died at the hands of her father, to come over.

Princess Zhaoren, who is only six or seven years old this year, hesitated slightly, but still took steps and came to Gao Yang. Say hello softly after saluting.

Gao Yang squatted down and looked at the little princess with a shy expression and a lollipop in her hand. smiled and said, "Do you like candy so much? Aren't you afraid of having your teeth go bad? Oh yes. I'm going to have to change my teeth again. It's so good, then you can eat it as much as you want. "Before Gao Yang left, he sent a batch of luxury goods to the palace. Lollipops are one of them. It seems that this little princess likes it very much.

Princess Zhaoren was ignorant and looked at Gao Yang for some reason. Flashing big eyes, a look of confusion. She was still young, and there were so many things she didn't understand.

Gao Yang smiled, stood up, and asked out loud, "Are you so free now?" Is it playing? ”

"Go back to Master." Chen Youdi, who is not very old, seems to have learned some etiquette in the palace during this time. After saluting respectfully to Gao Yang, he said loudly, "We are about to go to the study to do our homework." I just passed by here and happened to see Master here. So he came and saluted the Master. ”

"Hmm." Gao Yang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, don't talk about other things in the palace, just in terms of teaching etiquette, it is really incomparable." This kid is expected to have a promising future in the future. ”

Wang Chengen, who has been quiet behind Gao Yang since he entered the palace, responded with a smile on his face at this moment: "That's natural. As a proud disciple of the high immortal. Chen Youdi will definitely have a lot of success in the future. That's right. As long as Gao Yang can always cover it, what can Chen Youdi count as if he is on the rise? At least Wang Chengen is quite envious of this kid.

Gao Yang chuckled and waved his hand, letting Chen Youdi and Princess Zhaoren go to the study to review their homework. After the two left, Gao Yang turned around and continued walking. And Wang Chengen continued to hunch and follow behind him.

"Do you think they're childhood sweethearts?" While walking in the palace, Gao Yang suddenly asked out loud.

At this time, there was only Wang Chengen alone near Gaoyang, and he couldn't pretend that he was not there. Wang Chengen had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It should be counted." ”

Gao Yang smiled, nodded slightly, and then stopped talking.

Wang Chengen secretly wiped a cold sweat. When I was thinking in my heart, I had to tell the emperor about it.

......

In the imperial study, Gao Yang and Zhu Youzhen sat down separately. Wang Chengen personally served tea and water. The other eunuchs and maids were all driven out. Gao Yang's identity, no one wants to be exposed at this moment.

"This time, I went out of the north and won a big victory. Raise the prestige of the country outside the territory. The widow is here to thank the high immortals. After a brief greeting, Zhu Youzhen got to the point at the beginning, and after saying the words of thanks, he saluted Gao Yang.

Anyway, how to think. Gao Yang led his army to defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had threatened the Ming Empire for decades, and it was a great thing for Zhu Youzhen and the entire Ming Empire to be grateful for. His statement at the moment is also normal.

Gao Yang sat on the chair with a calm demeanor, and accepted this gift from Emperor Chongzhen unambiguously. He doesn't care about anything else. What if the emperor received the great gift. Waving his hand, he said with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about the past." Let's talk about the future. (To be continued)
