Hu Yonggang was originally very depressed, but after hearing Cheng Haofeng say this, he had no choice but to chuckle twice.

Now that the matter has been decided, Cheng Haofeng went to pick up the bloody and hateless them who were still on the way, and Hu Yonggang and Hu Xianxian talked about some miscellaneous matters.

When they first arrived, Zheng Tianba and his son came to the big tent, their faces full of joy of victory.

They had already leveled several small counties in the vicinity, and more than a dozen prefectures around the capital had all been pacified, and only a handful of rebels in the corners of the city were still resisting, and they believed that they would soon be able to clean up the mess.

Hu Yonggang personally poured tea for them, and said that the court would have a heavy reward.

"I'm just going to do it, I really hope that I will have a good future in Liao." Zheng Tianba smiled with relief and patted his son's shoulder.

Hu Yonggang and Hu Xianxian both praised Zheng Huiliao a few words, Zheng Huiliao was embarrassed to be praised, and lowered his head with a smile. I remembered that I didn't see Cheng Haofeng again: "The national teacher didn't come back with Hu Xianxian?" ”

"I'm back, and I'm going to pick them up again." After Hu Xianxian agreed, he said the emperor's will to dispose of Han Zecan.

They all frowned after hearing this, and after a while, Zheng Tianba slapped the table and said loudly: "It is also a disaster for that Han Zecan to be kept, and it is better to kill it." If there is an accident in the future, the national teacher cannot be left alone to carry it and carry it together! ”

When they got the son, Cheng Haofeng and Blood Wuqi escorted Han Zecan to Dekuozhou. They agreed overnight that they would kill Han Zecan at the crossroads outside the Kuozhou Prefecture tomorrow.

The next day was May 15, and Cheng Haofeng said that the yang energy on this day was heavier than the yang energy of the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, and beheading Han Zecan at three o'clock at noon on this day would make his soul be washed by the scorching sun qi and not enter reincarnation.

The prisoner cart slowly moved from the state government prison to the intersection, and the people along the way stood quietly on both sides, keeping their heads down and peeking at the prisoner cart.

They didn't dare to throw rotten vegetable leaves and spit on Han Zecan like they did to other prisoners, and even Han Zecan's eyes glanced at them coldly, they would all shudder.

After Han Zecan woke up last night, he wanted to eat and drink good wine and meat, and asked to take a bath and change into a new robe. He refused to wear a prison robe before going out, and the jailer consulted Hu Yonggang and agreed that he should wear a new robe embroidered with ochre and gold and a dragon on the prisoner's car.

At this moment, he held his head high and looked around arrogantly, not like going to the execution ground, but more like going to demonstrate.

Behind the side of the execution table, the prison officer Hu Yonggang sat in the main seat, and Cheng Haofeng and Zheng Tianba sat on both sides.

"Get on your knees!" As soon as Hu Yong saw that Han Zecan had been escorted to the execution platform, he shouted.

"Kneel you? Can you afford it? ”

Han Zecan smiled coldly and then continued: "I am a descendant of Taizu, a descendant of the orthodox Golden Dragon, can you afford me to kneel?" ”

His arrogant appearance made them very angry, but they couldn't say anything to refute it for a while.

Han Zecan looked at them with gloomy faces but he was helpless, and his words became even more arrogant: "My grandfather is Emperor Zhihua, my uncle is Emperor Hongcheng, my cousin is Emperor Deyuan, and what about the pseudo-emperor Han Zexi?" Although he is also of the Taizu bloodline, he has already made five suits with the lineage, and he is not qualified to let me kneel! ”

The officials and people who watched the beheading all knew that Han Zecan was closer to the previous emperors, and they also thought that the childless Emperor Deyuan would succeed Han Zecan after his death.

After discussing it, they got the same answer, and they all thought that it was impossible to kill Han Zecan.

"To kneel or not to kneel, it's just the situation, it doesn't matter." Cheng Haofeng's face was gentle, and he said with a light smile.

Han Zecan looked at him in surprise, and Hu Xianxian and the others all looked at him in surprise.

"When you mention Emperor Zhihua, Emperor Hongcheng, and Emperor Deyuan, are you sincerely loyal to them? Will you do their will, and never disobey? ”

Cheng Haofeng looked at Han Zecan and asked, Han Zecan blurted out and replied: "Of course I am loyal and will never be disobedient." ”

"Never disobey? Emperor Deyuan left an edict to be located in the current emperor, have you ever had half a bit of respect for the current emperor? Arrogant and arrogant, it is just a matter of despising the emperor's authority, you are still ambitious, instigating and leading the vassal king to rebel, and entering the capital, are you worthy of your ancestors and ancestors? ”

Seeing that Cheng Haofeng changed from a pleasant face to a cold voice in a blink of an eye, Han Zecan was asked too late to quibble.

Cheng Haofeng glanced at Hu Yonggang again, Hu Yonggang understood his meaning, threw out the order and shouted: "The time is up, behead!" ”

"No...... You can't kill me! Can't kill me! I am the blood of the Taizu lineage, and you have no right to kill me! ”

Han Zecan didn't expect that they would directly carry out the execution, and struggled wildly. But he has no martial arts, and the soldiers who held him are exceptionally tall and mighty, where can he break free?

Pressed to the sword, he raised his head slightly, and the golden light of the sun dazzled his eyes. The back of the neck was cold, and it was a knife with a strong wind.

He thought that the heaviest punishment he would receive was to be imprisoned, even if Han Zexi wanted to kill him, he would have to poison him secretly with poison and wine after a while, how could he kill him directly?

He can take advantage of the fact that they have not completely quelled the rebellion, find an opportunity to escape, flee to Fanbang or Dongying, and may turn over again.

At this time, he clearly knew that he had no chance to turn over, and tears of despair couldn't help but flow from his eyes.

Han Zecan's head fell to the ground, and the two teardrops on his cheeks slipped to the ground after a long time.

After the execution, Hu Yonggang and the others quickly withdrew to the camp, but the onlookers gradually dispersed after half an hour. They whispered to each other and asked each other, and they all didn't believe it, so they beheaded Han Zecan.

Back in the camp to freshen up, Hu Xianxian sat on the chair and drank tea, she hadn't been so leisurely for a long time, her mind was groggy, and she hadn't gotten used to it.

At sunset, Cheng Haofeng took care of the chores and invited her to play by the waterhole again, and the two walked hand in hand.

They didn't wear Taoist robes, Cheng Haofeng was wearing a light blue shirt, and Hu Xianxian was wearing a dress with small white flowers on a blue background, just like the most ordinary couple walking in the crowd.

* Gas, hot at noon, still cool in the morning and evening. The soft evening breeze blows on their faces, and the sunset slants on the cottage countryside, and they smile and look at each other, and they all feel very comfortable.

After swimming by the waterhole for a while, they planned what they should do when they returned to Beijing, and thought a lot, all about eating, drinking, and having fun.

After nightfall, the two of them went on a night tour of the mountains and forests, and only slowly walked towards the city when it was almost time.

"Master, Seventh Uncle, something happened! The princess of Lao Chengjun committed suicide! As soon as he arrived outside the camp, Blood Innocent hurried up to meet him.

"Didn't you send someone to keep a strict watch over her? How could she be given the opportunity to kill herself? Cheng Haofeng asked angrily, and then flew to the palace with Hu Xianxian.

At this time, it was the end of the child's time, and the princess of Lao Chengjun committed suicide in the middle of the child's time, and the soldiers guarding her soon found out, but they still failed to save her life.

Hu Yonggang had already arrived first, and when he saw Cheng Haofeng and them coming, he pulled them aside to briefly describe what had happened.

Some people in the palace are still very loyal to Han Zecan, a few days ago, the princess of Lao Chengjun asked to eat puffer fish, and the cook secretly hid the highly poisonous puffer fish offal.

The soldiers guarding the princess of Lao Cheng County were careful, checked the diet, and watched the cook bury the poisonous puffer fish entrails, but he didn't expect that the cook secretly pinched some bloody liver and hid it in his shoes.

After getting the exact news that Han Zecan was dead, the cook wrapped the poisonous thing in sheep intestines, divided it into several small pieces and stuffed it into the dish, and gave it to the princess of Lao Chengjun to eat.

The princess of Lao Chengjun was originally weak, but she hanged herself last time, and died soon after the poison.

While they were talking, another soldier came to report that the cook had been found, but he was dead outside the door of the room where Han Zecan's body was parked.

Hu Yonggang's face sank, and the soldier handed over a piece of paper and whispered: "That cook distributed a lot of this paper in the city before he died, spreading rumors and causing trouble. ”

"What? Outrageous! Hu Yong just took a look, and his face was even more gloomy.

Cheng Haofeng and Hu Xianxian also went to see the piece of paper, which read: The puppet emperor is cruel, the demon is misleading the country, the people are bullied, and the French Dynasty is destroyed! Take blood as a sacrifice, and the heavens will punish you!

Han Zecan's mother, Wang, was born in a big family, and she was supposed to be the queen back then, but she was in love with the second prince and was unwilling to marry the prince back then. At that time, she probably didn't expect that she, who was not greedy for the throne, would curse the country to perish with death.

She doesn't want to steal her life, and she has to help her son attack opponents when she dies, she is a strong person and a good mother. It's just that she didn't see clearly that it was her connivance all along that made Han Zecan fall victim to ambition and end up in a different place.

Hu Xianxian had always been a little puzzled before, why did the Empress Dowager firmly believe that Emperor Deyuan's last words were Emperor Deyuan's own wishes?

Whether it is in terms of blood kinship or the depth of friendship, Han Zecan is more likely to be the emperor than Han Zexi. Others have repeatedly sowed discord, but the Empress Dowager still firmly supports Han Zexi.

At this moment, Hu Xianxian figured out that if Han Zecan became the emperor, the empress dowager would not even be able to maintain her superficial honor, and Han Zecan would definitely respect her mother as the empress dowager and demote her aunt to guard the mausoleum.

She was thinking about this, Hu Yonggang was urgently ordering his subordinates to collect the pieces of paper that had been passed out, and to strictly investigate the people who spread rumors.

"No, if they want to preach it, let them preach it, and don't make another incident." Cheng Haofeng blocked.

"Yes, rumors are like a flood, the more blocked they are, the more turbulent they become, it's better to go with them." Hu Xianxian also agreed with Cheng Haofeng's idea.

Hu Yonggang thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Then how to deal with the Wang family's affairs at present?" ”

"Send a message to the emperor first, and listen to the emperor's will." Cheng Haofeng said and sent a spirit talisman to Qiao Chushi.

Hu Yonggang and Hu Xianxian led people to move Wang's body from the bed in the bedroom to the spiritual bed in the side hall.

After parking the old princess of Chengjun on the spiritual bed, Hu Xianxian looked at her carefully. She lay peacefully on her back, except that her face was pale and purple, and there was nothing unusual, as if she were asleep.

She wore a bright red dress, embroidered with golden phoenixes flying, peonies blooming, and the rising sun, and the patterns were lifelike.

She wears a pure gold phoenix crown, with nine phoenixes facing different directions on the crown, and rubies in the phoenix's mouth.

Hu Xianxian felt that in addition to the luxurious makeup, it was also a little strange. When Cheng Haofeng also came to the side hall, she said her questions.

After Cheng Haofeng looked at it, he sneered: "This should be the dress worn by the Queen Mother, it seems that Han Zecan has already had the intention of rebellion, and he is quite well prepared." ”

Subsequently, Cheng Haofeng summoned people to come and ordered to strip off the dress worn by the old princess of Chengjun and replace it with white linen.

"It doesn't have to be like that, right? They're all dead anyway......"

Hu Xianxian retorted in a low voice, and Cheng Haofeng sighed before explaining to her.

"The emperor decreed that the bodies of Han Zecan's mother and son should be burned with fire, so that the officials and the people would watch. When the bodies are cremated, how will the people feel if they see them wearing clothes that are not in order, and what kind of rumors will they generate? ”
