Chapter 161: What's the King's Way?
Sue was woken up by the noise outside the hospital.
Opening his sleepy eyes, Su asked slowly, "What's going on outside, why is it so noisy?" β
"Miss, have you been woken up?" Zhili replied in annoyance: "It's all the slave and maid, I forgot to close the window tightly......"
"It's like that, I'll wake up even if the windows are closed." smiled shallowly, Su had always been confused when he got up early, and this time he had completely come back to his senses: "What happened outside?" β
"Miss, don't you remember?" Zhishu walked in, his eyes widened in surprise: "Today is when the Li family and the Three Princes' Mansion were beheaded, all the criminals are parading the streets, and the slaves and maids think you remember." β
"I've been going on a lot lately, and I've forgotten about it." It seems that there is indeed such a thing, Su held his forehead a little helplessly: "Dress up for me, I'll go out and have a look." β
"Miss has indeed lost a lot of weight during this time, I hope you don't worry too much......" Zhiqi looked at Su Qing's face and sighed.
"There will definitely be worries, and the height of the temple is worried about the people, how to say that I will also enter the court in the future, and it is natural to worry." jumped out of bed directly without any image, Su Ben is not such a straightforward woman from a family, so she does not restrain herself in these details.
After quickly finishing the makeup, Su walked towards the place of this execution with Zhishu Zhili Zhiqi.
Originally, this crime of exterminating the clan should have been beheaded at the Wumen Gate, but because the Wumen Gate was outside the imperial city and was almost occupied by the Gyeonggi army of the three princes, the Hua Huang deliberately changed the execution location to the city wall this time.
The city wall was originally high, enough for half of the people in the imperial city to see this execution, which had a deterrent effect, and more importantly, even the three princes' garrisons outside the imperial city could see this execution.
Knowing that these family members are not important to the third prince and the former prime minister Li Gan, but if it can make them uncomfortable, Emperor Hua is still happy to do it.
Standing in the crowd of people, looking at the people who were tied up by five flowers standing side by side on the city wall, Su was inexplicable. The last time he was in Xiguo, it was also the prime minister's Wang family who was beheaded all over the house, but Wang Zishu escaped a catastrophe, and this time, Wang Zishu also escaped.
However, sometimes, after escaping for a while, who knows what awaits her later?
Seeing that noon was approaching, and more and more people were gathering under the city tower, Su felt that it was extremely crowded, and the turbid air was mixed with all kinds of smells, which almost made her breathless.
With the help of Zhiqi, Su squeezed out the crowd and stood on the outermost periphery, but he heard a sad voice behind him: "All the people of the Imperial City, listen to me!" β
The voice was extremely unfamiliar, and Su squinted to see that it was an official wearing a dark crimson official uniform who had climbed the city wall. In China, the dark crimson official uniform can only be worn by second-grade officials, so in this way, this official is a second-grade official. The official who presided over the execution this time was only the fifth grade, so he was sweating and didn't know what to do.
Since the official was standing against the light, and Su's gaze was facing the sun, she didn't really see this official. Approaching Zhiqi and practicing martial arts, he naturally looked much better than ordinary people, so Su asked in a low voice, "Who is that person?" Can you tell? β
"It's He Qing, the waiter of the household department." Zhiqi also replied in a low voice.
Hube Shilang, He Qing. Hearing this name, Su suddenly had a bad premonition. She clearly remembered that this He Qing was Prime Minister Li Gan's protΓ©gΓ© and had a close relationship with Li Gan.
In this back and forth response, He Qing had already begun to speak loudly: "People, I know that you have come to see the execution, but what is wrong with these people? It's just that their husband or father has embarked on another road because of the monarch's unkindness, and they want to destroy their nine clans, how innocent they are! β
"The monarch does not remember the old feelings, and treats Prime Minister Li Cheng cruelly, Prime Minister Li Cheng is a model for our literati, what did he do wrong? That's how the monarch is going to do to him? You all have children who want to be officials, and if high prestige is also a mistake, who will dare to contribute to the country in the future? β
"Now Prime Minister Li Cheng's army is stationed outside, although he is attacking the city, he just wants the monarch to give him an explanation, and he has not harmed any innocent people, so why should we persecute their relatives?"
With He Qing's series of words, the people who originally watched the excitement all started to discuss.
"Yes, if you want to kill the third prince and Prime Minister Li Cheng because of the rebellion, forget it, the child is innocent!"
"In this way, I don't dare to let my family's mouth climb up, what if I anger the emperor? The monarch is unkind! β
Hearing the words around him, Su's face sank.
The monarch is unkind? She admitted that she didn't like Huahuang that much, but from the bottom of her heart, Huahuang was really a good emperor.
He promoted benevolent government, spared no effort to do things for the people, and even spoke very freely. It also does not practice culture, so the people's cultural ideas are very active.
If this is not obvious, just look at the Yuan Kingdom, which is also a big country. In the Yuan Kingdom, no one dared to complain about Emperor Yuan, because the people who complained were already dead. In the Yuan Kingdom, the national teacher Ning Qianmo is respected, Ning Qianmo is the god in the minds of the people, what he says is what, no one has ever dared to refute it.
Seeing that He Qing was still chattering on it, the people became more and more restless, the scene became more and more chaotic, and Su's face became more and more ugly.
She knew that there were many henchmen of the Three Princes' Mansion and the Li family's henchmen in the imperial city, and they had not made any moves, and Su had been surprised, but she didn't expect them to act suddenly.
This kind of public opinion is definitely not something that He Qing can influence with a few words, and there must be other people in the crowd who are guiding public opinion.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, now there are Dongyi outside who are ready to move, and there are three princes inside, what Su wants is to level the world, where will such a thing be tolerated?
"You take me to the eaves over there, and remember to use your internal force to spread what I say as much as possible later." After explaining a few words to Zhiqi, seeing that Zhiqi signaled that he understood, Su nodded, and Zhiqi took Su Fei to the eaves opposite He Qing.
In such a situation, Su's move was very conspicuous, and even He Qing, who was talking endlessly, paused and glanced at Su.
"Su, a student of the Cassia Academy, has met Master Hubu Shangshu here." With a bow, Su showed his respect for He Qing, then looked straight at He Qing, and asked sharply: "Lord He, do you want to commit treason?!" β
