Chapter 9 Luoyang March Bloody Street
After Sima Ting let Han Su and the others go, he returned to the Chu Palace, sitting alone in the palace quietly, motionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Until the light that shone into the temple from the window became dimmer, until the moon climbed up the branches.
"Da Da ......" There was a sound of footsteps at the door, which woke up Sima Ting, who was too void in his fugue.
Immediately, I heard the voice of Gao Lishi, the head of the Chu Palace: "Your Highness, the prince asked you to go to the study." ”
Sima Ting's heart tightened, and the secret path finally came. Answering the sound, he got up and opened the door of the palace, and after taking a deep breath, he walked to the study of the king of Chu, and when he came to the study, he saw the king of Chu sitting there with an unkind face.
Chu Wangwei didn't wait for Sima Ting to step forward to give a salute, so he asked, "You let Han Su go?" ”
Sima Ting secretly said in his heart that it was not true, and he lowered his head and answered.
Chu Wangwei listened to the case and scolded: "Confused! It's not like you don't know how much damage a master of the Innate Realm can do! That's still a realm master full of revenge! Today, I finally forced him to the point of no retreat, but I don't want to be so disturbed by you!
Do you know that if there is no reason why you can't leave, even two of your masters won't be able to keep a master of the Transformation Realm who is bent on leaving! You're confused! ”
Sima Ting was taken aback by the sudden outbreak of Chu Wangwei, it was the first time in his life that his father scolded him so much.
Chu Wangwei looked at Sima Ting's stubborn face, sighed in his heart, and then roared: "Zidu! It's a game! Either he dies or we die! If you are soft on the enemy, you will fall!
Father knows that you admire the integrity of Han Su and the others, but you can't leave the bane that may bury you! You haven't thought about it, if Han Su goes crazy and goes to Xiangyang to assassinate your mother and them, what would it do?! ”
Sima Ting raised his head suddenly, and when he saw Chu Wangwei looking at his disappointed eyes, his heart sank suddenly.
Chu Wangwei felt that his words had touched Sima Ting, so he also relaxed his tone and said earnestly: "Zidu! In the officialdom, you really can't tolerate the slightest bit of a woman's kindness. Otherwise, the current Yang Jun will be our end. ”
Sima Ting finally spoke: "Father, the son knows that he is wrong. He never thought that his father had planned such a killing game so painstakingly and lonely in order to kill Yang Jun, nor did he think of these many consequences.
Chu Wangwei sighed secretly, this kid is sometimes too soft-hearted: "Zidu, eat a trench and grow wise." Father still has great expectations for you. ”
Sima Ting lowered his head and remained silent.
Chu Wangwei said calmly: "Right now, my father has something to do for you. ”
Sima Ting's spirits perked up, and he arched his hand and said, "Father, please speak." The son will never disappoint his father again! ”
Chu Wangwei smiled faintly and said in a deep voice: "Today's court meeting has decided that Yang Jun and his party will rebel against each other, and they will all destroy the three clans. Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, the execution will be carried out at the entrance of the East Market. Father wants you to do it...... Prisoner! ”
Sima Ting looked at Chu Wangwei with an incredulous face and said, "Father, how many innocent people do you have to kill!" Whether Yang Jun has rebelled or not, we can't understand it anymore, why do you want to involve those innocent people? ”
Chu Wangwei snorted heavily, and said with a straight face: "Innocent? Since ancient times, he has become a king and defeated a villain! If we fall today, do you think Yang Jun will let us live?! You're going to have a weak crown in two years, and you should have some responsibility! Now our Chu Wangfu seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, it is full of murderous opportunities, I don't know how many people want to see our Chu Wangfu fall into the abyss with their eyes wide open, and they can't turn over!
If you are still so indecisive, then your father will fulfill you to be a wandering knight! Officialdom is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and my father doesn't want someone to throw your body in front of my father one day! ”
Sima Ting gritted his teeth, his eyes showed a look of struggle, and finally responded in despair.
It wasn't until nearly noon the next day that Sima Ting opened the door and walked out. His eyes were bloodshot, and the night must have been difficult for him.
After preparing the horses, Sima Ting took several guards to the entrance of the East Market.
The entrance to the East Market is already overcrowded at this moment. The news that Yang Jun will be beheaded today and thousands of people who rebel against the party has already spread in Luoyang City. Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there have never been such large-scale executions. So countless people came to watch the magnificent scene of thousands of heads falling to the ground. Is it because people in the world are indifferent?
Countless soldiers of the Forbidden Army, under the leadership of the generals, laid several lines of defense between the civilians and the execution ground to prevent unpredictable violence.
A large number of bare-chested executioners stood murderously on the execution ground with a severed head knife glowing with cold light.
Sima Ting took the guards to the prison beheading platform, and saw Gao Lishi, the head of the Chu Palace, waiting there early.
When Gao Lishi saw Sima Ting coming up, he immediately came over and saluted, and then leaned into Sima Ting's ear and said, "Your Highness, Empress Jia is also here." With that, he glanced at a high platform beside him.
Sima Ting looked at the eyes of Manager Gao, and sure enough, he saw a noble lady sitting faintly on the high platform next to him, behind the rolling curtains. He sneered, and sat down in the position of the warden, without the slightest intention of going over to salute.
It wasn't long before there was a commotion among the people, and countless people scrambled to look west. Sima Ting also raised his eyes. I saw that on the road cleared by the forbidden army, there were countless ragged and unkempt men, women, and children being escorted by the forbidden army.
Among them, the old one had no hair left, but the few were still in swaddling clothes. Everyone was lifeless, powerless to move to the execution ground under the drive of the forbidden army, and was forced to die step by step.
Sima Ting's fists clenched tightly, and his heart began to shake again. He can even draw his sword to the imperial power for the sake of the Chu Palace. However, at this moment, I felt an inexplicable panic at the order to execute these prisoners who had no power to resist.
He stood up suddenly, and just wanted to escape from the entrance of the East Market. But Gao Lishi stopped him in one step and said, "Where is Your Highness going?" It is almost noon, and the execution is about to begin, so please sit down for a while. ”
Sima Ting knew that Gao Lishi had followed his father since he was born, just like his father's shadow. It must be because his father was afraid that he would not be ruthless, so he arranged for Mr. Gao to supervise him.
He looked at the men, women, and children who were getting closer and closer, and said weakly: "Manager Gao, I don't understand. Can you tell me why you have to kill them? ”
Gao Lishi bowed and said, "The old slave is stupid, I'm afraid I can't answer Your Highness." However, the prince asked the old slave to bring a message to His Royal Highness in the morning: 'One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither'. ”
"One will make ten thousand bones dry?" Sima Ting muttered to himself, smiled self-deprecatingly, and sat back in his seat.
I don't know how long later, Gao Lishi's voice sounded in his ears again: "Your Highness, everyone has been verified. It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time to order the execution. ”
Sima Ting nodded noncommittally and looked down the field. I saw a group of people kneeling below, and behind everyone in the front row stood an executioner with a guillotine knife. Sima Ting sighed in his heart, what's wrong with these people? Many people are afraid that just because of their poor families, they were forced to sell themselves into the ordinary people of Yang Jun's mansion.
Seeing that Sima Ting was slow to give the order, Chief Manager Gao urged: "Your Highness, the prince has high hopes for His Highness. If His Royal Highness can't even pass this hurdle, he will definitely be disappointed by the prince. ”
Sima Ting glanced at Manager Gao deeply, sighed in his heart, and understood that he couldn't save these people on his own. With a wave of his hand, all the arrows on the table flew out.
When the arrow landed, I saw Mr. Gao take a step forward and said in a loud voice: "Cut!" ”
All the executioners stepped forward in unison, raised their guillotine knives, and slashed down. As the severed head knife entered the flesh and touched the bones, there was a creepy sound, and countless heads rolled to the ground. Suddenly, there was a lot of crying and cursing on the execution ground.
"Keep people under the knife!" A woman's piercing scream suddenly sounded on the execution ground.
Then he saw a noble lady in plain clothes struggling to push away several forbidden soldiers who were blocking him and rushed into the execution ground. With tears on her face, she felt sick when she saw the heads all over the ground, but she still endured to look for them among the countless kneeling people. Finally, he threw himself on an old woman who described her as haggard and cried loudly: "Mother! Mother! The old woman was also in tears when her hands were tied behind her back.
When the onlookers on the side saw it, they were all embarrassed.
Gao Lishi gently approached Sima Ting and said, "Your Highness, this is the abolished Empress Dowager Yang Zhi." Sima Ting nodded slightly, and couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for this woman's experience.
However, at this moment, an angry female voice sounded on the high platform where Empress Jia was: "Someone! Take this crazy woman who interferes with the order of the law field to this palace! ”
Immediately, several forbidden soldiers rushed forward after listening to the order, but Yang Zhi pushed away the few forbidden soldiers who wanted to arrest her like crazy, and shouted at them: "Who dares to move to be the queen mother?!" I'm the woman of the emperor, aren't you afraid of people falling to the ground?! As soon as these words came out, they really frightened the forbidden soldiers and did not dare to step forward.
Yang Zhi looked around the execution ground in despair, and suddenly rushed to the high platform of Empress Jia, and fell to the ground under the surprised eyes of everyone. cried and begged: "Queen Mother, please be merciful and merciful to let my mother live!" I am willing to be a cow and a horse for my mother, and serve my mother! Then he grabbed the ground with his head and prostrated his head.
Empress Jia waited for her for a while, but said coldly: "How dare this palace let the Queen Mother serve you?" I'm afraid I'll lose my life. ”
Yang Zhi didn't stop kowtowing when she heard this, but just cried and shouted: "Then ask my mother for mercy and let me die on my mother's behalf." Please be gracious! Please be gracious! In a moment, Yang Zhi's head was bleeding.
It's just that she really underestimated the hard-hearted heart of the woman behind the curtains.
Empress Jia laughed frantically a few times, ignored Yang Zhi again, and ordered: "Come on, send the Empress Dowager back to Jin Yongcheng!" The word "waste" is pronounced extremely sharply and harshly.
Yang Zhi collapsed to the ground, but she didn't expect that she, a queen mother, would give up all her dignity to beg Jia Nanfeng, and even be willing to execute her mother on her behalf, but she was still ruthlessly refused. The two Praetorian soldiers picked her up and left. Yang Zhi was stunned and didn't shout anymore, she finally saw the true face of this Jia Nanfeng. In the past, she just naively thought that Jia Nanfeng was just a clown who wagged his tail and begged for mercy in the shadow of their father and daughter.
On the execution ground, Yang Jun and his party were all indignant, and all kinds of swear words in the market were overwhelming.
Jia looked at the people on the execution ground expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Continue the execution!" ”
Half an hour later, Sima Ting took one last look at the human Shura field full of headless corpses, and left silently.
At this moment, he finally understood his father's good intentions.
Jia Hou, today, Sima Ting realized what it means to be ruthless, and the six relatives don't recognize it.
As her future opponent, Chu Wangfu can only be ...... if she wants not to be uprooted
More! Vicious! ......
