Chapter 558: Zhao Gongming died tragically
The mother and son pulled out of the tent stiffly, crying and crying all the way, and Zhao Gongming felt very uncomfortable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ayuhuan whispered to him, "Brother, do you have any last words to leave behind?" Zhao Gongming nodded at this time and said: "Please take the paper, inkstone, pen and ink, I should have something to leave to the Khan." Ayuhuan then took out the Four Treasures of the Study from his arms, and it seemed that he had prepared for a long time. Zhao Gongming didn't care, and then spread out the paper and wrote freely, he wanted to leave all his future political blueprint ideas to Yandu, and let him realize those unfulfilled wishes for himself.
He wrote freely for half an hour, and he wrote down thousands of words of articles. The whole article is written in one go, and the literature and thoughts are flowing like a spring, Ayuhuan has read this article roughly, and has clearly summarized in detail a lot of things about the military, politics and people's livelihood, which is simply a strategy for governing the country. He carefully put the article away and put it in his arms, and then said to Zhao Gongming: "Brother, you rest early, and I will come to see you early tomorrow morning." Zhao Gongming nodded when he heard this, he will be dragged out for execution early tomorrow morning, how can he sleep.
At this moment, he has thousands of thoughts in his heart and is extremely melancholy, especially when he thinks of his wife and children, he is even more reluctant to return to his hometown for nearly 40 years in his life, and he has experienced the lowest point and peak of his life through ups and downs. "People always have so much attachment when they know that death is near.
The breeze in the early morning was a little chilly, Zhao Gongming stayed awake all night, and left a few letters to his wife and children, he had too many things to say, he had never felt that time was not enough before, but now he cherished every second very much, if he could, he even hoped that every second could be extended indefinitely, so that he would have more time to stay in love with the world. He was wearing a new dress made by his wife, which was originally what they planned to wear for the New Year, but who knew that it would become his own shroud, Zhao Gongming laughed miserably and couldn't help but lament that fate made people.
On the way to the execution ground, the sky in the east has not yet fully lit up, there is no one along the way, the two guards who escorted him behind him are expressionless, they do not urge him or scold him, they just follow him quietly, Zhao Gongming was not tied to the torture instrument like the Han people went to the execution ground, he looked relaxed, and his sleeve robe was very chic. He suddenly saw Ayuhuan and his wife beside Ayuhuan, and Ayuhuan really didn't break his promise and came to see him. His wife also saw him off, but he was already crying at the moment.
Zhao Gongming came to them, and Ayuhuan looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. Zhao Gongming smiled faintly at him and nodded. When he came to his wife, he had something to say, so he took out the family letter from his arms and stuffed it into her hand, and said in a very light tone: "Take care of our children, you can find King Xian if you have any difficulties, I believe he will help you." Ayuhuan choked up a little and said, "Don't worry, I will help you take care of the affairs at home." ”
Zhao Gongming nodded with a very polite smile and said, "What about the child, why didn't you come?" The wife sobbed under her breath, "He's still sleeping, he's too young I don't want him to see his father executed." Although Zhao Gongming was very sorry in his heart, he held his wife's hand and said firmly: "You did the right thing, you are worthy of my Zhao Gongming's wife." You have collected all the family letters, and you will have to rely on you to support them alone in the future, I am sorry for you in this life, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you in the next life. ”
The wife shook her head with tears in her eyes and said very insistently: "I don't want you to be a cow or a horse, as long as we can live together without separation." Zhao Gongming nodded and said: "I promise you, we are destined to be husband and wife in the next life, and I will repay you well." His wife couldn't stop crying, but she held his hand tightly and didn't let go. By this time, the sky had begun to turn white, and it was about to dawn.
The guard was a little impatient and said, "That's pretty much it, don't waste everyone's time." Everything that should be said has been said, and everything that should be explained has been explained, so let's go on the road with peace of mind. Ayuhuan said angrily: "You fart! What's all that mouth about? Are you saying this? The guard looked innocent and said, "Don't shout at us, we are also ordered to escort prisoners, if you are not satisfied, you can go to the Great Khan." Ayuhuan was dumbfounded by his words, pointed to his nose, and was speechless.
Zhao Gongming smiled and said: "Forget it, what this big brother said is right, I have said everything I should have said, and I have seen everything I should see, there are no regrets, I am leaving!" Saying that, he was as generous as a righteous man going to death, let go of his wife's hand and strode forward. His wife wailed behind and sat on the ground crying silently, Zhao Gongming hardened his heart and forced himself not to look back, because when he turned around, he was afraid that he would cry like a girl because he was reluctant, he didn't want the last impression he left on his wife to be so bad, he wanted to be domineering and fearless like a real man.
Ayuhuan took Zhao Gongming's wife, who was supported by others, to the execution ground, at this time Zhao Gongming stood under the gallows, his hands were tied behind his back, the sky was already bright, only to see a few of his wisps of hair scattered in the wind, a chief who supervised the execution stood aside, said a few words to the executioner, the executioner nodded and then turned to Zhao Gongming's side, then Zhao Gongming spoke: "Please let me leave a few words at the end." ”
The executioner looked at the chief, and the chief nodded in agreement, so Zhao Gongming opened his mouth and said to everyone: "Since ancient times, no one has died, no matter whether it is early or late, the eunuch will eventually have a life when he enters the emperor, and he sighs and laughs ignorantly. I Zhao Gongming in this life is worthy of the parents of heaven and earth, but worthy of his wife and children, the only regret is that I can't see our Turkic strength and unify the world, and now I am so guilty of dying under the inexplicable crime, I regret it, but this is fate, I admit it, I hope everyone will take me as a warning, but do good things and don't ask about the future. ”
After he finished speaking, everyone present was silent, and those who knew the inside story understood that the grievances in his heart at the moment were indeed framed by someone. But this was the Golden Horde's frightened order, and there was anyone in the whole steppe who dared to disobey his order, so although some people sympathized with him, they were helpless. At this moment, Ayuhuan looked at him and nodded. Zhao Gong smiled slightly and said to the executioner beside him: "Come on, just ask for me a good one." ”
When the executioner heard this, he picked up a black bag and put it on his head, Zhao Gongming suddenly became nervous, his whole head was put in it, and it was a little difficult to breathe. Then he felt a thick rope buckle hanging around his neck. He began to tremble in his calves, it turned out that if people knew that death was close to such fear, he was more worried about whether he would make a fool of himself.
The executioner helped him to straighten the clasp, checked the fastness of his hands and buckles, and then came down to the gallows and waited for the chief's order. The chief asked a few words, and the executioner replied, and the chief nodded and said, "Begin." In this short period of one minute, Zhao Gongming felt as if a year had passed. He was already shivering, and he didn't know if it was because of the cold or because he was afraid. (To be continued.) )
