Chapter 51: Escape from the Palace (6)
Seeing the bloody scene, several ministers were frightened by the tyranny of King Loulan, for fear of being punished by the same fate as Hap, their legs were weak and collapsed to the ground, and they crawled to the feet of the Son of Heaven, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy: "The criminal minister has made a terrible mistake in a moment of confusion, please spare the lives of the criminal ministers, and the criminal ministers promise not to commit it again!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a slender and powerful leg kicked one of the ministers in the chest, and the minister's center of gravity was unstable, and he rolled down the high steps, and his head was bleeding suddenly!
Seeing this, the rest of the people trembled briefly, and continued to kowtow and beg for mercy.
On the throne of the dragon carved in gold lacquer, there is a mighty king who sits in the world, his face is cold, his sword eyebrows are flying obliquely, a pair of shocking sharp eyes coldly swept over several people begging for mercy, and his voice was as cold as winter: "Oh? What are you guilty of? ”
"Sinner......... Sinners should not rebel against the Lord......... collusion with enemy forces ........."
They thought that the country had changed hands, so they secretly took refuge in King Daxian and supported him to ascend the throne, but unexpectedly, the long-disappeared King Loulan led his troops back to the palace and regained the royal power.
He was very busy dealing with the rebels and state affairs a few days ago, and they were a little worried at first, but then they were relieved as time passed, thinking that the Holy Lord would not know the inside story, and even if he knew, he would be dismissed from office at most. Who knows that they miscalculated the cruelty of King Loulan, settled accounts after the autumn, and deliberately peeled Hap's skin in front of them, such a bloody scene, where could they bear it, and they were so frightened that they naturally didn't admit themselves.
One wrong step, all the games are lost, they take refuge in the wrong person, they must bear the consequences, want to save their lives, they can only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, hoping for forgiveness, but ......... As things stand, the chances of survival are slim.........
"Gu Shengping hates betrayal the most, you take refuge in Da Xian and turn your back on Loulan, you should suffer the end of disloyalty! As an important minister of the imperial court, you know the law of Loulan very well, and if you commit a mortal crime, you will know what kind of criminal punishment you will receive! King Loulan's voice came clearly into their ears.
The large and small criminal laws of Loulan were all promulgated by the king of Loulan himself, and what they committed was a major crime, and according to the laws of Loulan, they should be ......... Execution!
There are several ways to carry out the so-called execution, and the offender will have his hands, feet or kneecaps cut off one by one!
This is a chilling sentence!
"No, don't! The minister is guilty, and I beg the Holy Lord to be lenient! ”
Hearing King Loulan's order, several people looked like ashes, unwilling to accept the reality and continued to kowtow.
"The sinner knows the sin, please ask the Holy Lord to be merciful outside the law, spare the life of the sinner!"
King Loulan's eyes fell on a few people, and his cold and hard face was indifferent, "Betraying Lone is the end of a catastrophe!" ”
After finishing speaking, the guards stepped forward and held down these people respectively and executed them on the spot.
Two guards took Hap, who had just been skinned, and dragged him past several ministers, and a strong smell of nauseating blood came to their nostrils, and several people covered their faces and retched, and their faces turned pale.
"Even if I die, don't become a waste!"
One of them was stimulated, broke free from the control of the guards and crashed headlong into the mahogany pillar, killing him on the spot!
"Take it down."
This person's death was just a small episode, the guards dragged on the aftermath, and the rest of the people did not have the courage to commit suicide, and they couldn't break free from the restraints, and their hearts were like ashes and they had to accept their fate.
The punishment of skinning and the punishment of slashing filled the entire hall with a terrifying and gloomy atmosphere, and the remaining ministers breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that they had escaped.
Having dealt with Hap and several collaborators, it was time to decide how to deal with Daxian.
Of course, the king of Loulan wanted to kill him the most, and it was impossible to let him go cheaply, and some of the ministers who opposed the killing of Da Xian were silent a lot after experiencing this massacre with their own eyes, and their attitudes were no longer as strong as before.
They have seen too much of King Loulan's iron and hard methods, and everything that just happened is still vivid, after all, compared with Da Xian, it is still more important to have his own net worth and life, don't get into trouble.
King Loulan's sharp gaze swept over the ministers of different colors, and asked in a deep voice, "How do you think Aiqing should deal with Da Xian?" ”
The last time the discussion broke up unhappily, because some ministers stopped and the people marched, preventing King Loulan from making decisions, fools knew how much he wanted to kill Daxian, and those who opposed it were undoubtedly against him.
"This ............"
The ministers who held opposing views looked at each other, contrary to their resolute attitude last time, and did not dare to express their opinions in a melancholy manner.
"Holy Lord, Weichen thinks that King Daxian must be severely sentenced, although he is a prince, but he has committed an unforgivable sin, he should be dealt with in accordance with the law of Loulan, and he must not have the slightest heart to protect him! There is a saying in the Western Han Dynasty that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, so the old minister believes that the king of Daxian should be severely punished to set an example! ”
The national teacher stood up to give advice, and some ministers of the national teacher faction nodded in agreement.
King Loulan was silent, looking at the Governor, who had the strongest opposition, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, "I want to hear your thoughts, Governor." ”
"Wechen ........."
Hearing King Loulan name himself, the governor broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and stepped forward with both hands: "Weichen............ Wechen has no objection............"
King Loulan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face was surprised, "Oh? I remember that yesterday you seemed to have a lot of disagreement............ Why............ Sudden change of mind? ”
Sounding a casual question, it was inexplicably frightening, and the governor took a breath, thought for a moment, and replied: "At first, Wei Chen took the Holy Lord as a consideration, and was worried that the heavy punishment of King Daxian might cause complaints, so he resolutely opposed it. The internal worries have just been resolved, the external troubles still exist, and losing the hearts and minds of the people is definitely not a good thing for you, Weichen thinks that delaying the disposal of King Daxian or sentencing him lightly, first stabilize the people, and then talk about the next step. ”
"The governor is really well-intentioned and thoughtful for Lone!" King Loulan sneered, his stiff face glowing with a hint of coldness, it was obvious that his words were not convincing.
How can this cold-blooded son of heaven be so easy to fool?
The governor frowned, and replied solemnly: "Weichen's words are true, please enlighten the Holy Lord!" ”
"Ask casually, the governor doesn't have to be nervous."
Loulan Wang Yun ended the topic lightly, as if it was just a casual mention as he said.
Maybe he really thinks too much about it?
In fact, King Loulan didn't know that he secretly took refuge in Daxian?
The governor's flustered heart went up and down, and he was about to open his mouth to answer, but he heard the king of Loulan say again: "Lone recently heard a ridiculous rumor, Lone didn't believe it, and asked the governor to come out and explain." ”
The governor's newly relaxed heart tightened again, and he said uneasily: "Rumors cannot be believed, the so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, and some rumors and rumors do not need to be taken to heart. ”
"The Governor has a point."
