In the first year of Zuntong, the nineteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival has just passed a few days, the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival has not completely faded, this night, the clouds are heavy, the wind is urgent, there are no stars and no moon. In the Qianqing Palace, the yellow-robed and black-crowned Son of Heaven wandered on the gold bricks, although the soft soles of his boots fell silently, but every step was like a muffled sound that shook his chest, so those eunuchs who were prostrate on the ground were all trembling and frightened.

The huge hall was so silent, and suddenly a cold question sounded.

"Why hasn't anyone brought it yet?!"

The eunuch, who was usually very favored by the Son of Heaven, explained in a trembling voice at this time: "Long live Rongyu, when the imperial decree was issued, the palace gate had already fallen to the key, and it was rumored that the Jiang family entered the palace, I am afraid that there will be many obstacles, and please wait a while, and the slave will go to ask." ”

What is relieved is that in the end, it was before the Son of Heaven was angry, and the Jiang family was finally brought in.

On the dragon chair, the world's Ninety-Five Supreme looked condescendingly at the anxious woman below, but saw that the woman just lowered her face, not allowing the emperor to see her eyebrows clearly, and the person above was suddenly dissatisfied, and said in a soft tone: "Let this slut raise her head." ”

The eunuchs who were frightened earlier, but at this time changed to a fierce and vicious face, one of them rushed up, dragged Jiang's hair bun down fiercely, and made the woman straighten her neck and raise her cheeks, the eyes of the Son of Heaven swept over the pale and colorless face, and saw that her extremely backward neck appeared with slender green tendons, as if she felt that the woman's posture was extremely funny, and finally a little satisfied, the ruthlessness between the eyebrows and eyes was highlighted, and the hand supported the imperial case, and leaned over.

"I also said how arrogant you are, so that you dare to be bold enough to fight for the dog clan, and how much you are overwhelmed by the country, so that Zhen Huai Yongning is still covered by the cane, and take a look at it, but that's it." He couldn't stop laughing, and sat back on the dragon chair to laugh.

Jiang's heart is both afraid and sad - she was the daughter of the family, and out of the cabinet, but also married to the family as a wife, Weng's father was the head of the household department, her husband was the secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, she and her husband were in love and harmony, and already had a pair of lively and lovely children, she thought that her life would be fine, but she didn't expect to suddenly fall into this disaster, and all the "sins" were just because she was sympathetic to her father's cousin, for the lucky concubine Ning, but just when the emperor was upset, she coughed and was executed by Ling Chi, The poor woman, who even changed her surname to a dog, cried and said "pitiful".

I don't know how these words reached the ears of the Son of Heaven, so Weng's father was imprisoned, her husband was outside the noon gate, and she was finally brought to the Qianqing Palace and questioned by the emperor in person.

But no matter how much grief and indignation, Jiang didn't dare to show what if, although she was a woman in the house, she also heard about the cruelty and inhumanity of today's son, Hongfu died, and the bones were not cold, and Emperor Zuntong actually ordered all his siblings to be killed, even his sisters! How many ministers pleaded for the princes, grandsons, and princesses, but not only failed to stop the atrocities, but were even tied to the execution ground and beheaded for the crime of going against the party.

This is a son of heaven who loves to kill, and he is more ruthless than a jackal, so how can he care if the little courtier is innocent?

Jiang could only prostrate and confess his guilt, begging for mercy, in a vain attempt to show weakness with a humble posture and seek a glimmer of life.

The anger in the heart of the Son of Heaven seemed to really fade because of this, he left the throne, imitated the rhythm of the play step by step, stretched the time of the banter, approached the woman who couldn't cry, bowed his waist, and smiled: "You are more interesting than Zhen Huaiyong, and you confessed your sins so quickly?" You are so knowledgeable, I am willing to spare you from death, but Zhen Huaiyong is a minister I have high hopes for, he is so visionless, for you such an ordinary and cowardly woman, dare to shield the rebels, if I even spare him, don't you think you have no eyes? I couldn't afford to blame him, so I had to gouge out a pair of his eyes. ”

Jiang's heart was broken, she really wanted to denounce the unscrupulous tyrant in front of her, but she couldn't, if she did this, it would not only affect her husband's family, but also her father's family, and the most pitiful thing was that her two children would definitely be tortured and killed by the tyrant!

All she could do was cry and beg, slamming her forehead against the luxurious gold bricks of the Qianqing Palace: "All sins are borne by the sinner, I hope the emperor will be gracious and forgive the son." ”

Her chin was pinched and lifted by her cold fingers, and Jiang Shi was forced to turn her back again, looking directly at the cool eyebrows of the Son of Heaven, and she saw a bloodthirsty cinnabar mole, which was particularly bewitching and dazzling against the backdrop of the lights in the hall.

"It's getting more and more interesting, do you know that I originally wanted to exterminate the three clans of the dog clan, but when she was tortured by Ling Chi, she just endured the pain and didn't say a word, I let her clan go, if you can do it, I will let Zhen Huaiyong go, keep him with a pair of eyes, and see how far you can endure for him."

After saying that, the dignified emperor sat down cross-legged, like an innocent and cruel naughty boy, staring at Jiang with his eyes flashing.

The hall was silent for a while.

The more Jiang felt creepy.

Finally, the emperor came up with a new method: "I look at the penal code, punish the slut, and punish the punishment of riding a wooden donkey, such an interesting punishment, but unfortunately I have not seen it with my own eyes, why don't you just inflict it on you?" ”

Jiang Shi only felt piercing to the bone, and her whole body was cold and trembling - she also knew that this punishment was a female prisoner who was extremely lewd and, the torture instrument was a wooden donkey-shaped, the donkey's back was in the middle, and a straight wooden peg was installed vertically, and the female prisoner was bare, her hands were tied to the wooden pillar of the donkey's tail, and she was forced to separate her legs and ride across the donkey's back, so that the vertical peg was submerged in her body, and she paraded the streets.

This is an extreme insult to the woman, and the death penalty by hanging is a painful one.

She was born in a scholarly family, an official family, and has always been clean and self-loving, and has never done anything ugly, but she is about to suffer the most painful and humiliating punishment as a woman.

Jiang's thoughts were all gone, and the silver teeth had already gritted their tongues, but they heard the tyrant laugh again: "If you dare to let me miss a good show to watch, I will inevitably punish your three clans, as well as Zhen Huaiyong, and will also suffer a thousand cuts." ”

Seeing that Jiang was paralyzed to the ground like a bone, but he no longer dared to seek death, this tyrant danced and laughed again, finally ending this so-called interrogation and dragging Jiang to death row.

Sure enough, the next day, Jiang was tortured, the emperor actually drove the superintendent, he sat on the dragon chariot, and witnessed the naked Jiang who wanted to die of shame and indignation, but could not die, suffered from the reprimands of thousands of people, and even beaten, the violence in his heart that he could not even control himself, seemed to be able to get a little ease, he smiled, still exhausted, and instructed the eunuch of Dongchang: "Don't let Jiang be killed so quickly, after parading the streets, eat and drink well at night, and then ask the imperial doctor to heal her injuries, and continue day and day, this punishment, It is best to wait until the end of Jiang's life...... She hasn't even arrived, it's been a long time to watch. ”

But the emperor was happy for less than three days.

had to report that Jiang's husband Zhen Huaiyong actually pretended to beat Jiang in public, and after deceiving the factory supervisor, he stabbed Jiang to death with a dagger in his arms, and still used the dagger to stab him in the chest in public.

So the Son of Heaven was furious!

"Zhen Huaiyong, dare to violate the imperial decree, the dog is bold! The Zhen family, for disobeying the felony of resisting the order, the clan is punished, the male is beheaded, the swaddling is not forgiven, the female dependents, whether old or young, are not military prostitutes, and the Jiang family! The Son of Heaven categorically ordered: "Punish with the same crime!" ”

This imperial decree once again caused a shock to the government and the opposition, and countless courtiers pleaded for Zhen and Jiang's two families, and even some officials spontaneously gathered in front of Zhen and Jiang's mansions to prevent Jinyiwei and the factory supervisor from arresting them.

The emperor was furious and ordered that anyone who pleaded for Zhen and Jiang should be killed on the spot.

So outside the imperial city, rivers of blood flowed.

The daughters of Zhen and Jiang did not wait for the court to arrest them, and in order to avoid being humiliated and killed in the military camp, they committed suicide one after another.

The killing ring is not enough to calm the anger in the emperor's chest, his bloodthirsty eyes, to the weaker and more innocent common people, there is no need for criminal evidence, the emperor's two major minions, Jinyiwei and Dongchang patrol the so-called "criminal rebellion" every day, how many ordinary people, "lucky" to visit the inside, outside the Qianqing gate, they were tortured, screamed and stabbed for nine days, blood and tears fell into the desolate underworld.

For fear of torture and killing, the people of Kyoto fled in all directions, and even the ministers, who had the slightest integrity and refused to help the abusers, also abandoned their crowns and left, or went incognito, or rose up from the pole, and for a time the war was in turmoil, and the flames were repeated, but this situation still did not stop the evil deeds of the tyrant.

In September of the first year of the Emperor's reign, the tyrant was assassinated by one of the cabinet members, the scholars of the Nakago Temple, whom he personally appointed.

However, the war did not subside, and the rebels in various places still forcibly recruited the people in order to seize the imperial power, and there were many burning, killing and looting.

The new emperor of Beiping Miyagi is no longer able to control the political situation, and the people in all parts of Shenzhou are even more unable to live and work in peace and contentment.

It can be said that the four fields on the outskirts of the field cover the bones, and the mountains and rivers and ten states are full of unjust souls.

To add insult to injury, the originally increasingly powerful alien race, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains Shenzhou, raised troops and went straight in, and finally, broke through Kyoto, forced the monarch to kill, the Qin family collapsed, and the foreign surnames of the foreign race dominated the rivers and mountains.

The torture did not end because of this, the bigger slaughter kicked off, thousands of remnants, all of them were lowly, Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three massacres, human life is not as good as a dog, life and death are more cheap ants.

The Dou Zhuan Star has moved away......

It has been ten years since the year of the reunification, under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Mansion, in Daxing County, the Pushan Temple and the main hall of the Buddha Hall, which were extremely prosperous in the past, were set on fire by the people.

Facing the raging fire, billowing smoke, facing the Buddha statue with kind eyebrows and kind eyes that was swallowed by the smoke of the fire, the old man in ragged clothes and skinny bones, hiding his face and crying bitterly: "The sky has no eyes, the gods and Buddhas have no pearls, don't bless me with kindness and innocence, only connivance and violence, what's the use of respect?!" Lao Er was born in the reign of Emperor Daizong, although he was poor, but he has always been diligent and thrifty, looking to rely on farming, food and clothing for a living, worshiping the Buddha, and never greedy for glory and wealth, only praying for the safety of the family, abundant food and clothing, but my grandson, first was abused and killed by the tyrant, my son, and was forcibly conscripted into the army, I watched them die, die, only one granddaughter under the knees, take care of the old man and his wife, talk for comfort. ”

"But the thief God, even my only granddaughter did not let go, good manners, was forcibly bought as a slave, tortured to death in less than three days, the old wife was discouraged, threw herself into the well and died, leaving me only a seventy lonely old man, but also forcibly conscripted, built a palace for the imperial court, horizontal and vertical are tired and starved to death, it is better to burn this Buddhist hall, scold the sky, it is also happy."

He was a man of despair and despair, and he vented his anger before he died, without any hope, but as soon as his words fell, he heard an earth-shattering thunderclap, followed by a violent wind.

In an instant, the clouds moved away, obscuring the sky. On the ruined wall, the canopy and dense dill gradually disappeared, and between the Qinggang deep valley, the gorgeous peach red as fire fell one after another.

The barren mound was razed to the ground, and the withered plains regenerated green seedlings.

is the so-called ignorance of the gods, and look at the reversal of time-

When the wind stopped, the golden crow scorched, and the year of the emperor was gone, which happened to be the reign of Emperor Hongfu.

It's a new chapter, but I don't know if it's still a repetition of the past.

The bones are resurrected, the souls are reborn, and the story has to be told again.
