During the Han and Han dynasties, there were very few cases of prisoners being executed, as the imperial court often announced amnesty to the world.

Unless a person is executed on the spot for a serious crime of treason, even if a person commits a serious crime, he or she will be pardoned and released from prison within a few years.

Of course, there is another way, that is, if there is money, the court will also let the prisoner use the money to atone for his crimes. This has led to frequent incidents in which the people are not afraid of things, disagree with each other, and fight in a big way.

Moreover, during the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, there were not so many legal provisions, and most crimes were still dominated by the rule of man.

In addition, the society of this period was more respectful of the ram doctrine and exquisite

The great revenge idea of "the ninth world can still take revenge" advocates revenge and revenge for humiliation. The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard him as his heart.

The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman. The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy.

As a result, the prison cells in the counties are often overcrowded and inadequate. Just like this Nanpi Prison, most of the prisoners in the Bohai Kingdom will be sent here, and the prison is also very hierarchical, and prisoners of different levels will also be held in different areas, such as in the deepest part of the prison, which is the place where those who have committed the most heinous crimes and those who are executed are held.

Although there is no clear evidence that he participated in the rebellion, the many evil things he has done over the years have aroused the dissatisfaction of the three court envoys, including Liu Zu, so he was finally imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison.

In the dimly lit dungeon, there is no light of day. The humid environment has an unpleasant smell, and from time to time you can hear the sound of rats gnawing something, and occasionally you can see snakes, insects, rats and ants crawling by.

This made Liu Kui, the king of Bohai who was usually pampered, feel like falling into hell to live. Within two days, he had a serious illness.

The jailers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly appealed to the authorities. Liu Zu and his entourage were also worried that something had happened to Liu Kui, so they sent a doctor to treat him, and at the same time relaxed the control over him, so that the relatives of the Bohai Palace could visit him.

So under this premise, the eldest son Liu Yuan and the second son Liu Pan, under the leadership of the prison Cheng, came to visit Liu Kui, the king of Bohai.

The two men cautiously walked through the narrow, dark passageway, flanked by unkempt prisoners.

When they entered, they also attracted the attention of all the prisoners, and there were numbness, coldness, despair, and other expressions in these eyes, and it can be said that almost all the most negative feelings in the world were concentrated here.

The two of them felt uncomfortable, not because of the eyes of the prisoners. In fact, they are protected by the prison guards, and they basically ignore these eyes that do not have any real threat.

It's just that this prison is too smelly, and it is very uncomfortable for them who are usually pampered.

After all, the prisoners eat, drink, and sleep in the cell, and it is estimated that the jailers here cannot clean it often, and as a result, over the years, all kinds of stench in this prison are intertwined, which can almost make people faint.

In desperation, the two had to cover their noses with their sleeves, and at the same time secretly swore in their hearts that they must not fall to the point of being imprisoned in the future, otherwise living in this environment would be worse than death.

After the two passed through the area in front, they finally came to the area where Liu Kui was being held. Compared to the previous areas, this area is much cleaner, and the smell is not as strong as before.

It's normal to think about it, after all, Liu Kui's identity is there, maybe there will be a comeback in the future, and they don't dare to slack off easily.

So this is the best area in the prison. When Liu Yuan and Liu Pan were brought to Liu Kui's cell, they found Liu Kui in the cell with red eyes, sitting on the damp floor of the cell, his hair covered with grass clippings and mud, messily draped, and wailing.

"Let this king out, I don't want to stay here for a moment, if you don't let me out, I'll die for you!" At this time, the prison man knocked on the fence of the cell and shouted softly, "My lord, the two princes have come to visit you!" Hearing the voice of the prison officer, Liu Kui inside immediately stopped wailing, then turned over and stood up, walked quickly to the prison door and asked excitedly: "Why are you here, but you are here to take me back?" Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "The will of the imperial court has not yet come down, and Lord Assassin Shi does not dare to release him." Liu Kui's face immediately turned cold, and he said angrily: "Then what are you going to do?" Is it to see the joke of fatherhood? The two of them were silent and did not say a word.

"The king, the two princes, the subordinates have retired first, if there is anything, you will call me again." The prison man bowed, then turned around and went out.

The prison has been working at the bottom for all these years, and the sophistication of the people is naturally very clear. At this time, the king was reprimanding the two princes, and it was not appropriate for him to stand here.

Besides, when the two princes came to visit the king at this time, there must be many important things to tell. After the prisoner left, Liu Kui suddenly asked, "How is the situation in the house?" ”

"Don't worry, Father. With Master Zongzheng here, no one dares to do anything to the people of our palace! Liu Yuan squeezed out a smile at this time and comforted.

Hearing this, Liu Kui couldn't help but sigh out, after he was arrested, he was worried that his family property would not be saved, and now he finally let go of a big stone in his heart.

Then, he thought of something again, so he asked, "Have the Taifu and the Minister of State ever looked for you?" Liu Yuan said with a complicated expression: "There are officers and soldiers guarding outside the palace, and no one else has been in and out of the palace these days. Liu Kui was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "How can this be!" Then how can you come to see me in prison? ”

"It was arranged by Lord Zongzheng, who was worried about his father's health, so he ordered us to come and visit us, and arranged for the officers and soldiers to let him go. Originally, my mother and the others were going to come with me, but I stopped them, and I thought that prison was not for them. ”

"You're doing the right thing! I don't know how sad they would be if they saw me like this. Liu Kui sighed.

After being silent for a while, Liu Kui continued to ask: "Liu Yun, do they have any news from Luoyang?" ”

"Not yet." Liu Yuan shook his head and said. Liu Kui was stunned again, then thought of something, and asked with a cold face, "Are you hiding something from me?" Liu Yuan was silent.

Liu Kui pointed at Liu Pan and said, "You come on." After all, Liu Pan's mind was not as firm as Liu Yuan's, and when he heard Liu Kui's question, he immediately cried and said: "Father, Sister A has news that my uncle and uncle are unwilling to help, and the princess of the Manchu Dynasty is also holding a wait-and-see attitude. The Son of Heaven intended to depose his father's Bohai Kingdom and then demote him to a commoner. After a pause, he wiped his tears and continued to cry: "Even Taifu and the Minister of State heard about this, and they were both preparing to leave Bohai Country and find another way out. After hearing this, Liu Kui's eyes suddenly turned black, he sat down on the ground, and muttered to himself: "I am the brother of the first emperor, how dare they treat me like this......" Seeing this, Liu Yuan glared at Liu Pan, and then asked with concern: "Father, are you okay?" Liu Kui turned a deaf ear, as if he had lost his mind, and talked to himself, Liu Pan became scared and kept shouting Liu Kui.

"Father, father, ......" immediately alarmed the prison guards who were guarding in the distance, and hurriedly came over to open the cell door to check Liu Kui's condition.

Liu Yuan and Liu Pan also hurriedly went in to help Liu Kui up, and drove to the simple bed inside and sat down.

At this time, they found out that Liu Kui's body was also very thin, and his whole body was almost supported by the skeleton, and the whole person was also haggard, if it was just the poor conditions in the prison cell, it would not make him become like this, I am afraid it would be more psychological torture.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Kui woke up from his consciousness world, he glanced at his two sons, waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, you go back, don't let your mother worry." Liu Yuan and Liu Pan glanced at each other, and after repeatedly confirming that their father was indeed fine, they retreated.

After the two left, Liu Kui thought for a long time, looked up at the eaves beams, looked at his belt, and suddenly had a terrible idea.

"Maybe it's not a good thing for everyone that I died with such dignity!" So Liu Kui brought a high stool, climbed up tremblingly, hung his belt on the crossbar, and tied a dead knot.

Then stick your head into the loop, the height is just right. Thinking that none of the Manchu ministers spoke for themselves, he really failed in life.

Then, thinking of the hard days when he had deposed and sealed the country, Liu Kui's eyes were wide open, his breathing was short, and his mouth was slightly open.

At this time, the pressure from all sides was coming, and Liu Kui collapsed directly, so his mind was confused, blank, and his legs were stunned.

Just as his consciousness gradually blurred, some memories that had been dusty for many years gradually came to his mind.

"Brother, if I become developed in the future, I will definitely not forget you! Don't forget the wealth! ”

"Liu Kui, although I am your brother and the Son of Heaven, I can't protect you all the time, you must be cautious in the future, and you can't be so willful and reckless."

"Brother Huang, I regret not listening to you!" Suddenly, Liu Kui's eyes widened, consciousness reappeared in his eyes, and his legs struggled...... The next morning, the prison servant brought the morning food, and as soon as he came in, he saw Liu Kui's body hanging on the crossbar and swaying, and he was immediately frightened and his soul was gone, and he staggered out and shouted loudly.

"Oh no, the King of Bohai hanged himself...... Zong Zhengqing Liu Zu was the first to arrive at the scene, he touched Liu Kui's cold corpse, and kept chattering: "Liu Kui, you are confused, no matter what, you can't kill yourself at this time......" At this time, Da Hongqing Yuan Kui, Tingwei Chen Qiu and Jizhou Assassin Liu Yan also walked in.

When they saw Liu Kui's stiff corpse, they were silent. Then they found a half-written piece of paper still on the table, perhaps half-written, perhaps already finished, with a small number of words, but the meaning was complete.

"Kui, ashamed of the first emperor, ashamed of the people, ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors......" Liu Yan was the first to ask: "What should I do now?" Liu Zu sighed and said, "Let's wait for a joint letter to the imperial court, and wait for the reply of the Son of Heaven." ”

"That's the only way to do it......" everyone raised their hands in agreement. The news spread quickly, and the entire Bohai Kingdom was blown up, and the news of the suicide of the Bohai King by hanging beam spread far and wide.

At this time, when it came to the crime of rebellion, the King of Bohai committed suicide, which suddenly cast a shadow on the entire Bohai Kingdom.
