Chapter 0960. The defeat was unjust
This political purge is nothing short of terrifying.
The internal secret police provided evidence, a large number of poems that were even discarded by the officials as waste paper, and the complaints made by the bedside of the boudoir of the singer Fengyue were all found, and with the mountain of evidence, Di Renjie had no choice but to sentence and take down the court officials one by one.
In order to survive or pull people into the water, Cui Daorong's cronies began to bite each other, and more people were involved, almost half of the court officials were involved, and a quarter were sentenced, or beheaded or exiled, when they went to court.
On the execution ground at Xishikou, well-dressed officials and peerless family members and nobles were pushed to the guillotine in despair, the executioner held up the snow-bright ghost-headed broadsword, and there were officials of the criminal department below who narrated and angrily denounced their crimes.
"These people conspire to form a party, shield each other, bend the law for bribes, betray the king of Fujian, intend to rebel, heinous crimes, according to the law of Great Min, behead and abandon the city, and kill!"
The rule of the Min State is quite popular in Khorasan, listening to the sentence of the officials of the Criminal Department, the businessmen who come and go below, many people follow the scolding, the murderous killing word exit, the ghost head knife falls like lightning, the head of the person flies, and the blood is splashed three feet.
Killing of killing, exile of exile, through the expansion of the Fujian bureaucracy, the Kwantung family group, which has gradually been able to compete with the king of Fujian over the years, has disappeared so far.
A group of officials were executed, and it didn't take long for another batch to be escorted to Dali Temple, and this time, a woman in the most corner was particularly eye-catching.
Twenty-eight years old, cardamom-like years, beautiful as jade, even if he was beheaded on the execution ground, he was actually wearing a luxurious court-style low-cut skirt, and the rope was cruelly wrapped around the silk sleeves like butterfly wings, tying a pair of slender jade bi behind his back.
Under the cruel punishment, the beauty with her hands tied on her back still bowed her head gracefully, dancing lightly, and the skirt swaying was scolded by the executioner and slowly walked to Xingtai, kneeling gracefully, bowing her head and waiting to be killed.
An incomparably poignant atmosphere was revealed.
"It's Miss Cui Yingying!"
This time, it caused a commotion in the crowd watching the execution below, and some scholars and wealthy businessmen even squeezed in, shouting at the top in disbelief: "My lord, it can't be a mistake, right?" ”
"Miss Cui Yingying can't rebel, please check it carefully!"
Cui Yingying is a well-known talented woman in Beijing, even in Bosis, there are still many people who admire her, and in the shouting, even the crowd has become a little boiling, in the face of such a noise, the prison officer of the criminal department has to order the police force to move forward and maintain the order of the execution ground, while shouting with a high voice.
"Don't quarrel, everyone, Dali Temple will not wronged anyone, the criminal Cui Yingying took the initiative to surrender and admit his crime, and the evidence is conclusive, so he was sentenced to behead according to the law!"
The words of the supervisor made the commotion crowd couldn't help but be stunned, and in the end, people's eyes converged on this talented woman in Beijing in an incredible way.
At this time, Cui Yingying finally raised her head, revealing her delicate and tranquil face in front of everyone's eyes.
"That's right, the concubine body does violate the law, according to the law, the law of the Great Min is sacred and inviolable, the death of the concubine is not a pity, please don't think about the concubine's body, remember to remember."
This time, there was finally silence in front of the court.
Seeing that the riot subsided, the warden returned to his callousness, glanced at the sun, and threw out the fire token.
"Slash!"
Finally, with a nostalgic glance at the world around her, Cui Yingying lowered her head gracefully, her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, and the next moment, the burly executioner cut down the ghost's head knife viciously, and after the whistling wind, a delicate mantis head rolled and flew out.
Many literati lamented that a generation of talented women had a curtain call in such a way, it was really a beauty like a famous general since ancient times, and she was not allowed to see Bai Shou in the world, but at the other end, a fist was smashed on the railing.
The prison of the Criminal Department is tightly separated from the execution ground by one street, after all, he used to be a member of the imperial court, the prime minister, and the place where Cui Daorong and Hu Xian were imprisoned was not a dungeon, but a three-story small building of the Criminal Department.
Cui Yingying is his niece, before this, Cui Yingying advised him several times not to try to abuse power and confront the king of Min, in the Qinghe Cui family room, this niece did not deal with himself, how could he not imagine that in the end, this niece would use such an extreme way to deny herself.
I don't know if I hate my niece's ridicule of my failure, or lament my niece's death, Cui Daorong is like a crazy beast, constantly beating the window lattice, and even the jailer has been recruited, looking at him vigilantly from a distance.
Seeing that he had been crazy for a long time, Hu Xian, the right attendant of Luantai, sighed with emotion and dissuaded: "Master Cui, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" ”
"Villain, you still dare to say it!"
As soon as he heard Hu Xian's voice, Cui Daorong vented his anger again, slammed down on the railing in front of the aisle between the two, and roared at Hu Xian angrily with his cheeks, which had lost a lot of weight.
"Apostasy before the battle, if it weren't for you, a villain, and my colleagues fought on the basis of reason, why was it condemned as a major case of rebellion? If it weren't for you, the villain, how could so many people be raided and exterminated, you villain, you can't die well! ”
"Blame me?"
One sentence also ignited Hu Xian's anger, and he also pounced on the railing, Hu Xian also angrily pointed at Cui Daorong's nose and scolded: "Do you think that you can succeed if it weren't for me, do you think that you have ganged up with King Min and his old man all these years?" The old man has fallen to this realm, it is completely dragged down by you, and everything is to blame on you! ”
"Those people out there also died because of you, because of your ambition, old puppet!"
Both pairs of eyes were red together, and the two fifty-year-old men were panting like beasts, and their eyes were full of hatred.
Seeing that the two court felons had turned into cross-eyed, it seemed that there was nothing serious, and several jailers hurriedly retreated and closed the door of the corridor between the two prisons.
After all, the two felons were both officials and prime ministers, and they knew a lot of imperial secrets, and the two of them gossiped a few words, which might bring death to the jailers.
Thankfully, they left early.
After a while, Hu Xian suddenly sat back bored. Panting, Cui Daorong also sat down on the ground, and after a while, Hu Xian suddenly pressed his head on the window lattice with emotion and bitterness, and sighed at Cui Daorong, who was full of exhaustion.
"Brother Cui, King Min actually knows everything."
"After you left that day, the people from Heidu came to the door, and the King of Min came to me in person!"
"What? How can it be? ”
In disbelief, Cui Daorong jumped up again, grabbed the railing of the prison suddenly, and waited for Hu Xian with a pair of bull's eyes, and in his solemn gaze, Hu Xian nodded helplessly.
"For the sake of Princess Qian'er's face, the King of Min gave me two ways, either the old man admitted to the rebellion, or the whole Hu family was also involved in the rebellion case, the King of Min had already planted a nail in you, and it had been planned for a long time to deal with you, no matter what, you would not succeed!"
"If you are in the position of an old man, Brother Cui, how do you choose?"
didn't answer, Cui Daorong sat back directly paralyzed, he never thought that the plan he thought was seamless was in the calculation of King Min.
Hu Xian is right, Li Jie has been staring at the increasingly inflated and ambitious Kanto family for several years.
The rebellion in Qunucheng, which once made Li Jie's heart ache, was provoked by the ambitious family gatekeepers, which made the Fujian country suffer from death and injury and almost lost the country, this time, just when Li Jie was looking west and swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, if he didn't learn this lesson and clean up the uncontrolled forces behind him, he would not be worthy of being the king of Fujian.
Yang Xuan rebelled in the previous dynasty, and now the rebellion in the city of Qunu, two bloody lessons!
Recalling the gloomy face of King Min that day, Hu Xian still shuddered, and sat down by the wall with a sigh. For these high-ranking officials, Min Guo took good care of them, half-new mattresses, as well as wine and food, and when he picked up the wine jug, Hu Xian poured rich liquor into his throat with his head raised.
Paralyzed on the ground for a while, Cui Daorong suddenly giggled nervously.
"Hehe, hahahaha."
"Old Cui, are you okay?"
Listening to the weird laughter, he thought that Cui Daorong had lost his mind, and dropped the wine jug, Hu Xian eagerly leaned on the window and asked.
The laughter continued, but Cui Daorong raised his head, shook his head self-deprecatingly and sighed: "The old man lost unjustly." ”
"What kind of person is the King of Min? He single-handedly created such a big Fujian country, but the old man compared him with those monarchs who were born in the deep palace for two or three generations and grew up in the hands of women. ”
finally saw it completely, while saying with emotion, Cui Daorong smiled with tears, and also picked up the wine jug, shook it at Hu Xian opposite, and said disheartenedly: "May I be a great Fujian for thousands of generations, and Ze will be the world." ”
", Brother Cui."
Hu Xian also shook the wine jug in frustration, took out the heroism of the Tang people, and the two losers covered their faces with long sleeves and drank happily.
A pot of wine had just been drunk, but the door of the outer cell, which had been closed for a short time, was pushed open, and two forbidden soldiers rushed in first, and then a white-faced eunuch wearing a felt hat and a robe walked in slowly.
"Grandpa Si!"
After all, there was still a glimmer of life, Hu Xian stood up urgently to put the cell door, and shouted excitedly and expectantly, on the other hand, after so many days, I don't know how many people I pulled into the water in my own name, and Cui Daorong, who had already seen it, also stood up with a relaxed face.
"The old man's limit has arrived, and it is an honor to have Laws's father-in-law want to send it."
"Hehe, Lord Cui is serious."
Shaking his head, the cronies and eunuchs who had been following Li Jie's side, Sbharatito, took out the holy decree that had been prepared from his sleeve with a smile on his face, and the floating dust was caught in his elbow, and said in a strange voice: "Two adults, let's do business first, the king of Min has a decree, the right attendant of Luantai Hu Xian, and the regular attendant Cui Daorong of Luantai scattered cavalry to receive the decree." ”
"The ministers kneel to welcome the holy word of the King of Fujian!"
