Chapter 40: The Birds Are Gone
Xiyue was led by her mother, got close, and listened to all the words.
When she heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at the person who spoke, and found that she was very unfamiliar, but she was wearing a command suit and was a relative of the founding hero.
However, in my memory, after the household registration case in the previous life, more than 1,000 people died in the household registration case, and more than 30,000 people died in the rebellion case, almost overnight, most of the founding heroes were gone.
Tan was afraid of being heard, so he took his daughter and son to speed up his steps, ignoring the man, and was afraid that the man would chase after him, and even ran away.
Xiyue looked back at the woman, and saw that she didn't fail to follow, but only smiled maliciously at the family of three.
When I was sweating profusely, I finally arrived at the execution ground.
In order to allow everyone to watch the execution, the execution ground was set up in an open place outside the city, in addition to the official family, there were many people, on the way to the execution ground, posted a lot of notices, one by one displayed the evidence of Kong Shen and his relatives, in order to prevent the people from being illiterate, before each notice, there were people read it over and over again to passers-by.
Xiyue listened all the way and turned a few thoughts.
In addition to harming Mr. Shushu's family, he also took advantage of the convenience of household registration to turn thousands of acres of fertile land into his own, so that the good people with land became landless tenants and killed others.
In addition, there are also crimes such as greedy military salaries, unbridled nonsense, disrespecting the emperor, and raising private soldiers.
All the people involved in these cases were all sent to the execution ground, plus Kong Shen's three clans, it looked like Wuyang and Wuyang.
In addition to the seats provided by the prison officials, the people who watched the execution were all standing according to their ranks, and Xiyue and her mother and brother came to the position belonging to the Marquis of Xinyong's mansion.
"This Kong Shen is a subordinate of Xinyonghou, I heard that he also saved Xinyonghou's life on the battlefield, but I didn't expect Xinyonghou to turn his face and deny people, and he didn't save his former right-hand men, it's really chilling."
"But isn't it, I heard my father say that in the past, Kong Shen was under another subordinate, and it was Marquis Xinyong who personally lobbied and pulled Kong Shen over to earn credit for himself, but now he is rich, but Kong Shen is deeply suspicious and kicked away."
"Shhhh
"Afraid of what? Could it be that our family is still afraid that he will not succeed in the Marquis of Yong's mansion? ”
Shen Xinan turned around, glared at the person who talked unscrupulously with hatred, and found that it was none other than the people from the Jian family of the Pinghuai Hou Mansion and the Zhang family of the Zhiyuan Hou Mansion that he hated.
"These eight lambs, see if I don't fight ......"
"Brother."
Xiyue interrupted her brother and tugged at his sleeve, "Why bother with these people? Kong Shen has already listed all the crimes, can he break the law just because he is a general who has made meritorious contributions? We have a clear conscience, so why should you care what others say? ”
Shen Xinan was still angry, "They talk nonsense!" Daddy has been kneeling in the palace for so many days, are they blind? Kong Shen is not angry, what is not good, do the things that lose the conscience! ”
"You know that Kong Shen made his own mistakes, don't get angry because of others." Xiyue patted her brother's arm, signaling him not to be provoked.
Shen Xinan was not a fool, knowing that it was best to be silent on such an occasion, so he didn't want to argue anymore.
Tan couldn't help but smile with relief when he saw his daughter being so transparent and reasonable, no matter how many unfair remarks outsiders have about the Xinyong Marquis Mansion, as long as their family members are right-minded, everything will be worry-free.
"The prince has arrived!"
In the midst of the discussion, a shrill voice instantly quieted the scene, and everyone knelt down to greet the prince.
Xiyue also knelt down.
Although the Marquis Mansion of Xinyong is a Hou Mansion, its status is more respected than that of other Hou Mansions, it is Yi Xiyue who stands in the front row, and the prince and the princes will pass in front of her.
Zhao Yue was calm, followed the prince without squinting, and when he passed in front of Xiyue, Xiyue did not look up, lowered her head, respectful and polite.
Inexplicably, Zhao Yue was a little disappointed, why didn't she look up at herself?
What did he say that he didn't dare to look directly at the dignity of the heavenly family, he didn't believe it, she never looked at the children of the royal family, and now she lowered her head and didn't look at him, could it be the trick she used to play in her previous life?
Lust?
Hum.
couldn't help it, Zhao Yue snorted coldly, no matter how lustful he was, he wouldn't be tempted by her!
The road was not long, and soon the prince led people to the position specially reserved for the royal family, and the prince said: "You are flat." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."
Everyone got up after thanking them, and then looked at Shen Qingtai who was in the position of the prisoner.
Shen Qingtai was in a very bad state at this time, he was thin, wearing single clothes, and he seemed to be crumbling in the spring cold.
Xiyue was very distressed, in order to balance the power of the court and pave the way for governing the world, the emperor did not care about his father's seriously injured body, and still used it correctly!
"Hahahaha."
Dressed in prison clothes, Kong Shen, who was embarrassed, suddenly burst out laughing, he looked at Shen Qingtai, his face full of ridicule and sadness, "General! ”
He shouted, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, including the three-year-old, who looked at him in anticipation of what he would say.
Shen Qingtai was also extremely uncomfortable in his heart, as a superior, he failed to persuade and restrain his subordinates, so that he made a big mistake, so that he harmed the three clans, but the national law was intolerable, and he had to cooperate with the emperor to kill chickens and make an example.
If everyone can be proud of their merits, do evil, and ignore the laws of the country, then the good situation that has just been established will soon be in vain.
The world is His Majesty's world, but it is also the world of the people of the world, and he doesn't want future generations to live in chaos.
"The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking! What grand causes, what wealth and glory, can only be shared with weal and woe, not with joy! Should have thought of it a long time ago, hahaha......"
"Today is me, tomorrow it will be you, General!"
Hearing these words, everyone's faces changed again and again, everyone's eyes moved from Kong Shen's body to Shen Qingtai's body, some people gloated, and some people sweated for him.
How to resolve such a situation?
The crown prince's eyes couldn't help but look at Shen Qingtai, this general who has an army of 800,000 and ranks at the top of the list of meritorious heroes, is he loyal to his father in his heart?
Naturally, he believed in Shen Qingtai in his heart, but at this time, it was inevitable that he would have to think more.
Xiyue's small hands were shrunk in her sleeves and clenched into fists, she was worried about her father and felt sorry for her father.
He kept telling himself that he must let his father leave the court vortex earlier, anyway, his father's credit is enough for the three generations of the Shen family to get it for nothing!
If you don't take advantage of the early withdrawal, the credit is a life talisman.
Shen Qingtai looked at the thousands of pairs of eyes in the audience, and for the first time he felt what was called danger, which made him more exhausted than fighting.
