Cao Huachun naturally understood what Wu Mengming meant, and he himself had no grudges with Huang Daozhou, so he just silently imprisoned and did not speak.

Huang Daozhou's face touched the ground, his nose and lips were broken, his gray beard was stained with blood, and he cried out from time to time during the torture, "Heaven!

When he was in great pain, he shouted "Emperor Taizu Gao!" and "Second Ancestor!", but there was never a word of pity and begging for mercy.

Slowly, his cry gradually weakened, and when Huang Daozhou was beaten to forty sticks, he no longer knew the pain, and he was already unconscious, and he only heard it in a trance, and there was a faint shouting in the distance, and he felt that his legs and body were swinging with something, so that he seemed to see the appearance of the young son when he was born, caressing the young back again, and with each gentle pat, the young son born would laugh happily...... After another moment, his sensation was completely gone.

The Jinyi Banner School where the execution was executed, seeing that Huang Daozhou fainted to death, skillfully sprayed him with cold water to wake him up, because seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had not yet pardoned him, they had to take a look at Cao Huachun's eyes without the slightest emotion, and then continue to fight.

When he reached sixty strokes, Huang Daozhou fainted for the second time. The eunuch unnoticeably waved his chin, Cao Huachun ordered the execution to be suspended, he walked quickly back to the emperor to ask for an order, and wanted to save his life for Huang Daozhou; Emperor Chongzhen's anger did not subside at all, and he was already determined to put Huang Daozhou to death, so as to make an example for those ministers who dared to offend Tianwei.

He only glanced at Cao Huachun and said coldly, "Fight twenty more!"

Huang Daozhou was once again woken up with cold water, and when he heard that he was going to receive a cane, he only sighed weakly: "The emperor and queen of heaven are ......."

When Cao Huachun slowly and leisurely turned back to the noon gate, the court staff began again.

Huang Daozhou gritted his teeth and stopped making a sound, but begged for a quick death in his heart.

When Wu Mengming saw Cao Huachun coming back, he only said: "Fight twenty more!", only he intended to take care of it, so the later twenty court battles were like a breeze.

After the final fight, Huang Daozhou's back was already blurred with blood and blood, and the captains followed the old rules of the court staff to lift the prisoner and throw it to the ground three times, and then throw it to the side.

Although Wu Mengming got Cao Huachun's hint and made everyone fall lightly, but just like that, after falling, Huang Daozhou fainted for the third time.

Cao Huachun clapped his hands casually, and the captains who executed him all understood that if he was allowed to faint, the prisoner might never wake up again; a flag school hurriedly sprayed cold water for Huang Daozhou in Wu Mengming's hint, and it took a long time to see him take a long breath and slowly wake up.

Ye Tingxiu was sentenced by Cao Huachun, he was beaten a hundred court battles, and it was also because he was in the prime of life and his body was strong, so he only fainted and died once.

When Cao Huachun returned to the palace, he reported that the two criminals had been executed, and there was silence in the Qianqing Palace for a while, only Chongzhen after the imperial case said two words softly: "Go to prison!"

On his pale and gloomy face, his angry eyes turned to Liu Zongzhou, who was prostrate on the ground, and at this time, Liu Zongzhou had been kneeling on the ground for more than half an hour.

"What else do you have to say?" Chongzhen's tone was full of threat, and his expression was like an FBI bullying in front of the sophomore class.

Liu Zongzhou raised his head tremblingly and said: "The cane outside the gate at noon just now reprimanded the two ministers, and the shouts moved the ground, and hundreds of officials were trembling; today's execution of the two ministers, the sky is dark and the clouds are sad, and the thunder does not stop. The minister does not cherish the Tao Zhou, but cherishes His Majesty, cherishes the national law, and cherishes the world for all eternity!"

Speaking of this, he felt a sour nose and a congested throat, and resisted the urge to burst into tears...... He only paused for a moment, and then continued: "Xi Wei Zheng reprimanded Tang Taizong, Taizong hated him, and wanted to kill him but refused to kill him, but favored him, and it was important! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave a direct admonition to Ji Di, and demoted Ji Di from Chang'an, but in fact he was given preferential treatment; since His Majesty wanted to emulate Yao and Shun, why did he act under the two lords of Han and Tang? This is what the old minister was puzzled about! As for ......"

Chongzhen didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and shouted: "It's all nonsense! I heard that you usually give lectures based on sincerity and respect; where is sincerity and respect for such wanton accusations against the monarch's father?"

Liu Zongzhou was not afraid at all at this time, and he continued to say slowly: "There are not many ministers in the court...... In the past, most of them were studying and lecturing, and they really focused on sincerity and respect, and emphasized prudence and independence. The minister has never been loyal to his face, so he does not shy away from the axe today, and speaks bluntly and bitterly, and does not say anything in front of the monarch......

Chongzhen slapped the imperial case and shouted: "Don't say more! You and Huang Daozhou are in the same evil, and dare to reproach the monarch's father in person, which is really hateful! Pull me down!"

There was no wailing and pleading, no more ministers interceding for the three of them, and the deathly silent hall was swept by a chaotic sound of footsteps, and continued to fall silent, like a pool of stagnant water blown by a breeze.

After Liu Zongzhou, the imperial historian of the left capital, was dragged out of the noon gate by the brocade wrestlers, Chongzhen looked around at the ministers in the hall, and he said stupidly in his heart: "Hate, I didn't expect the dynasty and morale to be so corrupt!

He glanced at the ministers with a cold gaze, and commanded weakly in a low voice: "Xuan Zhuchen come near, listen to my face." ”

When the civil and military officials heard the call of the chamberlain, they silently walked to the front of the vermilion railing of Jintai.

Xun Qi, cabinet assistants and six ministers of the Shangshu were closer to the railing to stand, and the rest of the hundred officials just stood in turn, and the shifts were inevitably a little chaotic.

All the courtiers did not make any other sound except for the "sizzling" sound of the wide court clothes mopping the floor, mixed with the extremely slight friction of the soles of their boots and the gold bricks on the ground.

Chongzhen leaned forward and looked at the lowered faces of the ministers, but he didn't speak immediately.

Just now, there was anger in his eyes as if they were about to burst into flames, but now they have cooled, and although the anger is still not gone, there is more pain and melancholy on their looks.

He couldn't be clearer in his heart, although he reprimanded Huang Daozhou and Ye Tingxiu, and handed Liu Zongzhou over to the criminal department for discussion; although he could also see that most of the civil and military officials standing in front of him now turned pale with fright, and they didn't even dare to come out; however, he knew the power of his thunder, and he did not intimidate Huang, Ye, and Liu, nor did he win the sincere fear of the hundred officials.
