A moment later, Dai Zong came to the courtyard with a few Changyi Lang and stood behind Tian Yannian.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's mercy!"

"What you have committed is the crime of deceiving the king, I did not let your clan be destroyed, I am already extraordinarily gracious, how do you want me to spare your life?" Liu He said with a smile.

"Come on, fight!" The smile on Liu He's face was fleeting.

"No!"

No matter how Tian Yannian called out, it didn't work, the four Changyi Lang didn't have a moment of softness, and they peeled off the silver seal and green ribbon on Tian Yannian's waist and presented it to Dai Zong.

Then, they forcibly pressed Tian Yannian to the ground.

At this time, this field is like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and can only struggle on the ground in vain.

Tian Yannian, who was suddenly in trouble, still had a little bit of Jiuqing's something, and his mouth kept making a pleading howl that was not like a human language.

This noise alarmed the relatives in the back house, and it seemed that it had already become chaotic.

"Dai Zong, bring some Yu Linlang and suppress the movement of this back house."

"No!"

Dai Zong took the order and left, and after a burst of chickens and dogs, the back house was quiet.

Two of the four Changyi Lang held down Tian Yannian, and the two of them took materials on the spot, found a cane from Da Si Nong's torture room, and crossed Tian Yannian's legs.

Liu He slowly squatted down and looked at Tian Yannian with a smile.

Suddenly stared at by the Son of Heaven at such a close distance, Tian Yannian actually quieted down, and the pair of mung bean eyes looked at the Son of Heaven in horror.

"Tian Qing, if you want to complain, blame yourself for doing something wrong, don't complain, and don't complain about your middle father."

After Liu He finished speaking softly, he waved his hand slowly, and the two Changyi Lang started to move without hesitation for a moment.

Then, the screams were incessant, resounding throughout the Dasi Nong Temple.

It's still early in the morning, and it's quiet all around, and the other government offices around the city may be able to hear this terrible sound.

Liu He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked coldly at Tian Yannian, who was screaming, with no superfluous expression on his face.

The guards in the courtyard were even more dumbfounded, and even those Yu Linlang were a little sideways.

Flogging is actually quite common.

But the three princes and nine kings were executed in public, which is a rare thing.

Don't look at the way the Son of Heaven usually smiles, he is also very kind to the palace people, but he didn't expect to be fierce at this moment, it is so terrifying.

Dignified Jiuqing, he was actually pressed to the ground like this, and he was beaten when he said he was beaten!?

If the other people are going to make a mistake, wouldn't they just kill them?

After today, the "notoriety" of the Son of Heaven may be spread.

Liu He naturally saw everyone's expressions, and this is what he wanted.

It's not a bad thing to let the world know that I dare to kill people.

The speed of the flogging execution was very fast, and in the time of one stick of incense, before others came to their senses, the two Changyi Lang, one left and one right, had already beaten thirty times.

When he first started fighting, Tian Yannian could still follow the shouting a few times, but at this time, the shouting voice was getting smaller and smaller.

At this time, Liu He finally raised his hand and asked the two Changyi Lang to stop first.

He squatted down again, and changed into his usual harmless smiling face.

He looked at Tian Yannian's face as white as paper and was very satisfied.

The resentment that had been squeezed in his chest for many days suddenly dissipated a lot.

Sure enough, being able to use violence at will makes people feel comfortable and happy.

According to the law of the Han Dynasty, even if an official commits the crime of defrauding the king, he should be tried and sentenced by the edict, and it is not the turn of the Son of Heaven to deal with it himself.

However, just because it's not your turn doesn't mean you can't do it.

The law of the Han Dynasty is the embodiment of the will of the Son of Heaven, and it has never been an obstruction or shackle of the Son of Heaven.

This is very different from the law of Liu Helai's era.

To put it simply, as long as Liu He doesn't care about the wind and public opinion, he can abuse a lot of power in his hands to some extent.

Before, Liu He attached too much importance to the so-called righteousness, so that he was timid everywhere.

Now, it is Huo Guangxian who uses public power in the dark and uses it to coerce the Son of Heaven in the way of "rejecting the government".

As the Son of Heaven, Liu He doesn't need his special powers, how can he be considered fair?

Moreover, this Tian Yannian has already committed the crime of bullying the king, and he really deserves to be beaten.

Kill as well.

"Tian Yannian, there are still seventy floggings, can I count them clearly?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Tian Yannian inhaled "hiss" while twisting his face to compliment.

"Then do you think you can still endure the rest of the flogging?"

"Your Majesty, where can the life of Wei, Weichen withstand such a beating, I beg Your Majesty to spare Weichen's life." Tian Yannian said with grinning.

Liu He glanced at Tian Yannian's tortured waist and buttocks, and blood was already faintly oozing out.

The two Changyi Lang are both solid people, and they are very down-to-earth.

will never play those tricks of "landing on the ground", which made Tian Yannian suffer.

This is just a wound to the skin, and if you hit it any further, it will hurt your muscles and bones, and after a hundred blows, you will have to be crippled if you don't die.

This Tian Yannian also has a hard body, otherwise he would have passed out long ago.

"Tian Yannian, I ask you now, are you guilty?"

"Wei, Weichen is guilty." How dare Tian Yannian say a word.

"Then do you want to get this set of ribbons and official seals back?" Liu He still asked with a smile on his face.

Tian Yannian was still moaning half-truths, but when he suddenly heard the words of the Son of Heaven, he stopped suddenly.

The words of the Son of Heaven were like a bright light, which made Tian Yannian, who was in the black fog, suddenly see a glimmer of life.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wei and Wei Chen are willing to atone for their crimes, please give Wei Chen a chance!"

The smile on Liu He's face immediately retracted, he stood up and looked condescendingly at Tian Yannian who was lying on the ground.

At this moment, Tian Yannian is like an ant, Liu He can easily trample him to death.

Liu He gestured to the Changyi Lang with his eyes, and the latter immediately ignored Tian Yannian's wailing and "helped" him up.

Liu He Chaotian Yannian took a step closer, only one step away from him, and then said word by word: "Now open the government immediately, I can still spare your life, dare to delay anything, kill on the spot." ”

"In addition, don't use the tactic of delaying the army, let alone ask the middle father to protect you, after I beat you to death, it's a big deal to go to the general's mansion to kneel to the middle father, do you think he will turn his face against me for you?"

A cruel smile appeared on Liu He's face, which made Tian Yannian, who was in pain, even more frightened.

"But, it's a subordinate official in the temple......"

"You don't have to worry about this matter, they are more loyal to the Han than you!"

Tian Yannian didn't know the arrangement of the Son of Heaven, and he didn't dare to question his arrangement.

He hurriedly broke free from Chang Yilang's hand, endured the pain and bowed down in front of the Son of Heaven, gambling with the lives of the entire Tian family, he would definitely be loyal to the Han.

Liu He didn't embarrass him anymore, and let him stand up at the moment.

"I have time today, and I am waiting here for these two hours, but I want to see with you if any of the officials will come."

After speaking, Liu He ignored Tian Yannian's doubts, came to the top of the main hall, and sat down with a big grin.

"A few servants in the house will arrange a couch and a few cases for Tian Fujun in this main hall, remember that the cushion on the couch must be soft, so as not to make his waist disease happen again!"

Soon, there were bold and careful soldiers to get the matter done.

Tian Yannian, who was still worried in his heart, was uncomfortable when he saw the Son of Heaven sitting in the first place, but he didn't dare to disobey anything, so he could only sit on the couch obediently with pain.

Fortunately, it hurt my waist, and it was not too difficult to sit on my knees.

However, the pain in the lower back is not difficult, and the inner pressure is the most painful.

At this moment, the Son of Heaven was sitting behind him, and he could not see the Son of Heaven.

This feeling is really a thorn in the back.

There have long been rumors about how the Son of Heaven was once crazy, Tian Yannian still didn't believe it, but now it can be regarded as a personal verification.

Tian Yannian was temporarily out of trouble, and his mind was alive again.

He expected that the subordinate officials in the temple would not dare to come back if they did not receive his orders.

All he had to do was send someone to deliver a message to the general, and the general would be able to save him—at least the one behind him could get out of here first.

If you think something in your heart, it will immediately flow into action. His looking around and fidgeting look was clearly seen by Liu He behind him.

Don't get your hopes up, give up.

Liu He was not in a hurry, took a few slips from the case, and read them with interest, which was supposed to pass the time.

Soon, you'll find out.

……

When Liu He "violently beaten" Tian Yannian, Bingji, who temporarily received the Shangshu affairs, also began to do it.

Although Bingji was inconspicuous for a long time, he was actually quite a capable and decisive person.

Otherwise, a few years ago, Huo Guang would not have been able to make him a general Changshi.

In the past 20 years, Bingji has started from the lowly history of Lu Guojiao, and has now become a dignified Jiuqing, and he knows almost all the bright and dark rules in the officialdom.

Before the hour, when the Son of Heaven left Weiyang Palace, Bingji, who was waiting in Shaofu early in the morning, immediately sent more than 30 confessors in Shaofu to the court.

Generally speaking, the transmission of the edict is jointly undertaken by the internal official and the confessor, but the status of the confessor is obviously much higher than that of the ordinary internal official.

Don't underestimate these confessors, although they are responsible for the simplest duties of passing and greeting, their rank can reach up to six hundred stones, and each of them has three or five servants for sending.

At this moment, under the eaves in front of the main hall of Shaofu, Bingji was standing with his hands behind his back, and there were five cases beside him.

On those cases were the five edicts issued by the Son of Heaven yesterday, each with thirty copies.

In the past, the 150 edicts would have cost 150 pieces of plain silk, and the cost was a small expense.

Now that rice paper is used, this small expense is saved.

Bingji looked at the edicts, and then turned his gaze to the confessors in the courtyard.

"Today's edicts were personally delivered by His Majesty to the official offices......

"This is related to the safety of the Han Foundation and the stability and ...... of Chang'an City."

"Your Majesty said, I hope you will live up to your mission and pass on these edicts to various government offices!"

"Do this well, Your Majesty will personally reward you in the future!"

"No!" A word is worth a thousand words.

Shaofu Temple was indeed once controlled by the Huo Party.

But it does not mean that all the subordinate officials are disloyal to the Son of Heaven - the Huo Party controls people's hearts, and it still relies on the reason of "loyalty to the king".

Under the moral education of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", the Son of Heaven has both secular and religious prestige.

Huo Guangdai was the emperor of heaven, and he could win the hearts of the people; If today's son comes forward in person, these ordinary confessors will naturally have no hope of moving forward.

Then, one by one, the messengers went under the eaves and received the edict into their hands in silence.

One by one, after saluting Bingji, they streamed out of the courtyard.

Each of these confessors has a destination to go, which he had already explained to them in advance last night.

Soon, more than thirty horses galloped out of Beique with these confessors, and scattered towards the different government offices in Chang'an City. They will send these edicts everywhere in the shortest possible time.

In addition to these individual informants, Bingji also prepared a convoy of four routes, consisting of one safe car and two Yi cars.

There were gongs and drums on the chariots in front and back of the convoy, and on the chariots in the middle were several subordinate officials with very loud voices—they were all specially selected by Bingji.

The destination of these four-way convoys was not any government office, but Shangguanli, Qili, Beichengguo and Beique Jiadi.

The vast majority of the subordinate officials in Chang'an City live in these four places, and they directly send people to announce the edict on the street, which is much faster than the various government offices to convey it from top to bottom, and has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

These five edicts of the Son of Heaven must be carried out in Chang'an in a situation that everyone knows, and only in this way can they win the hearts and minds of the people.

Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. The widow is helpless, and the relatives are beside them; If you help more, the world will follow it.

With the world's obedience, attack the relatives of the side, so the gentleman does not fight, the battle will be won.

Now, Liu He is going to be the "enlightened person", and Huo Guang is forced to play the "lost person".

……

The time is coming to an end, Beicheng Guo, in front of Xu's house.

Xu Guanghan gently pushed the door open, he was about to go to the office, but before his foot crossed the threshold, Xu Guanghan's wife Feng called him behind him.

"How many days will it take for you to come back when you enter the palace this time?" Mrs. Xu was still as capable as before, but her tone of voice was finally a little softer than before.

"It's the end of the year, and there are a lot of things to deal with in the ya, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until five days later." Xu Guanghan replied.

"Hmph, how many things can happen in a small violent room, I think this palace is busy, you just want to find a reason to hide and relax." Mrs. Xu crossed her waist and said angrily.

"Madam, where are you, it's about to enter winter now, and there are many ...... to hang in the palace for the winter."

Before Xu Guanghan's serious explanation was finished, he was intercepted by Mrs. Xu.

"Don't tell me this, don't worry, I don't dare to delay your future, I'm still waiting for you to come to Japan to pay respects to the marquis." Mrs. Xu teased.

Xu Guanghan didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only wrinkle his beardless face and stand in place at a loss.

"Now that it's getting colder, you don't have to drink too much at night, if you drink your body, it will still drag us down and your son!"

Mrs. Xu was still unforgiving, but she reached out and took out a purse from her arms, poured out a string of money from it, and stuffed it into Xu Guanghan's hand.

This string of money is neither too much nor too little, about a hundred dollars, enough to pay for the drinks for the next few days.

Xu Guanghan was a little puzzled at first, but he immediately understood, he laughed out loud, put the money with Mrs. Xu's body temperature into his arms, and specially pressed it to rest assured.

Mrs. Xu saw him so funny, and she unconsciously "laughed".

Suddenly, the cold autumn mood was far away.

"Can you find an hour to meet the prince in the next few days?" Mrs. Xu asked.

"Huh? What do you want him to do? Xu Guanghan asked puzzled.

"What do you want him to do? Of course, I asked him where that vertical man Liu Aiji went! Mrs. Xu was a little annoyed again.

"Oh, oh, madam, didn't he talk about his illness last month, he followed the mission to the Western Regions."

"How many days have passed, even if you don't come back, there should be a news, and you don't care about him at all?"

"This son has no father or mother, and you are his father-in-law, how can you be so negligent, but you have the appearance of an elder?"

Mrs. Xu said so much in one breath, but it made Xu Guanghan a little confused - didn't she hate this Liu Illness the most on weekdays, why is she so concerned now?

"Don't look at me like this, the former Vertical and Peaceful Monarch have no name and no point, of course I have to watch it more closely, so as not to make any jokes."

Now that they are all engaged, they are still the matchmaker of the royal palace, and they are already a family, of course, they must keep it in mind, "How can you be so ......"

Mrs. Xu said a lot in one breath, and Xu Guanghan finally understood, and the flattering smile on his face became heavier.

"Madam, I know, I know, I'll go to Wang Fujun tomorrow."

After receiving this assurance, Mrs. Xu finally nodded with satisfaction and let Xu Guanghan go.

At this moment, there was a sound of gongs and drums from the other end of the alley, which attracted the attention of the husband and wife.

After a while, they saw three carriages slowly approaching.

The car in front and behind was beating gongs and drums, and the people in the middle car seemed to be shouting loudly.

It was a strange thing that the doors of many houses were opened, and people came out of their homes and poured out, surrounding the cars.

Xu Guanghan's eyes were sharp, and he recognized at a glance that there were the seals and flags of Shaofu on those cars.

"Madame is waiting here, I'll go and see what's going on, it's too busy, so don't go over."

"Well, you go and get back quickly."

Mrs. Xu stood by the door and watched Xu Guanghan run into the distance.

……

At this time, those cars had been surrounded by people in this alley, three layers inside and three layers outside.

Then, it seemed that the people in the car seemed to be shouting something, which caused a burst of discussion among the people around them.

After about a stick of incense, after a very loud cheer, the onlookers finally dispersed and hurried back to their house.

The cars did not stop, but left again with gongs and drums, as if to rush to the next alley.

Although Mrs. Xu is spicy and capable, she is a woman in the final analysis, and when she saw this scene, she felt a little flustered.

But she could only wait where she was, looking around with her feet on her feet, trying to find her husband.

Finally, Xu Guanghan hurriedly emerged from the crowd and hurried back to the door of the house.

Before Mrs. Xu could ask, he said in a panic: "I'm afraid something big is going to happen in this Chang'an City!" ”

After that, he told the five edicts he had just heard and some of the news he had discovered.

At the end, Xu Guanghan sighed heavily and said: "This general is confused, he actually wants to use the method of calling himself sick and taking leave to coerce the Son of Heaven, isn't this going to get along with the Son of Heaven!?" ”
