This was a baptism of blood. The bluestone bricks in front of Fengtian Temple were soaked, and the smell of blood and a stench from the inner abdomen of human beings diffused in the air, causing all the people present to stand on end, and even some people were low. He closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look.
The pain of cutting flesh and scraping bones is simply not something normal people can bear.
Siqin had a painful syncope many times. After waking up, he continued to scream in agony, and then he fainted again after the pain.
Such as Bian Ruohan, who has been frightened to death, Siqin's original subordinates are shaking like a sieve, and even more frightened have already urinated.
Seeing the people who used to get along with each other in the past are cut flesh and bones, and finally only the skeleton and internal organs are left, and no one can bear it and is about to collapse.
"Cut in half!" Li Qitian stood on the high-level, with a look of excitement after seeing the blood in his eyes, pointing to the rest of the cage, "Drag all these rebels and rebels to the Meridian Gate!"
"According to the order!"
I have seen a Ling Chi, all the palace servants, guards, and generals of the Han are covered in cold sweat, all of them are tense, and their voices are much higher than usual.
The person in the cage was still stunned. Hearing the word slashed in the waist, his eyes widened in horror. He wanted to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but his mouth was blocked, so he could only look at Li Qitian and nod his head repeatedly.
The person who was cut in half did not die immediately, and even died after two or three hours.
Compared to Ling Chi, the waist cut was equally painful.
None of the ministers dared to say a word to persuade them. At this time, everyone felt chills down their backs, and their hair was about to stand up when Li Qitian's bright eyes swept over them. Killing the Tatar khan will relieve the hatred, but everyone can feel it. If the emperor does this, is it not a disgrace to them
The cages were loaded onto the prison cart and transported to the Meridian Gate.
The Tatar Khan was executed by Ling Chi, and the news that the rest were sentenced to be beheaded was posted by the yamen.
The people passed ten, ten to a hundred, and at noon, the crowd of onlookers blocked the crowded open space in front of the Meridian Gate. The Gyeonggi Guards walked through the road in two columns, pushing the people behind their backs, giving way to the middle of the road, and transporting the prison cart to the Meridian Gate.
Qin Yining frowned in the crowd, then turned to the people around him and said, "Go back."
"You don't want to see?"
"There's nothing to see, let's all go back." Qin Yining didn't hate those people to the extent that he wanted to see them being cut into two pieces and slowly die. Even if it was an enemy, this way of dying would be distasteful to her. But eyes.
"You are kind-hearted." Jing Zhe and Xiaoxue followed, escorting Qin Yining, dressed as a teenager, out of the crowd and detoured back to the farm.
As for the torture in Beijing, the tragic situation was known to the whole country.
The most surprising thing is that Si Qin was introduced to Tatar by Ling Chi's news, but it didn't cause any splash. Because the Tartar Khan was captured by Da Zhou, the Tartar group had no leader, and was suppressed by the joint attack of Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu, and there was no more chaos in the mind, and the interior of the court began to anxiously seize the only seat.
"The Tatar court is busy seizing the throne, and no one cares about the life and death of Utkin Khan. It is also embarrassing." Xu Weizhi held the pot to renew the tea for Qin Huaiyuan, Pang Xiao, and Ji Zeyu respectively, and then made a gesture of invitation.
Everyone took a sip of tea and sighed in unison.
Ji Zeyu asked Pang Xiao, "Are you planning to leave for Beijing someday?"
Pang Xiao nodded, "The food and grass are ready, and you can leave at any time. Alan, what are you going to do in the future?"
Xu Weizhi and Qin Huaiyuan both lowered their eyes and served tea, and did not deliberately look at Ji Zeyu's expression. This was out of the most basic respect for Pang Xiao's friends.
Ji Zeyu also behaved very casually in front of Pang Xiao, and said with a smile: "I have already thought about it. The four gates such as Tianmen are now guarded by the Longchong Army, who are familiar with this place, and it is impossible for the Tartars to invade the south again. , there is no need to worry here. I plan to go back to Beijing with you."
Ji Zeyu's words surprised Qin Huaiyuan and Xu Weizhi.
Pang Xiao said that he was leaving for Beijing, but in fact he wanted to go with the Hu Ben Army and the Southern Army. The Ping Nan Army together said that Feng Dazhuang was Pang Xiao's cronie and could be trusted. The Hu Ben army now has the coach Gao Wenliang, and to take away the Hu Ben army, Gao Wenliang must be dealt with first.
To put it bluntly, Pang Xiao went back to Beijing after dinner to turn against Li Qitian.
If Ji Zeyu wants to protect himself, staying at the border is the best choice. If he goes back with Pang Xiao, he will inevitably be involved in this dispute.
Qin Huaiyuan raised his eyes and looked at Ji Zeyu and Pang Xiao. He had always known that Ji Zeyu and Pang Xiao were brothers who worshiped the handle, and they were best friends, but he thought about it, isn't the emperor also the brother of Pang Xiao? Pang Xiao tried every means to put him to death
From Ji Zeyu's point of view, it would have been extremely sentimental not to report Pang Xiao, but now he wants to follow him back, but he is going to help Pang Xiao.
This kind of approach is really unexpected and very moving.
Pang Xiao looked at Ji Zeyu, with some worry in his phoenix eyes, and a little disapproval: "Alan, I understand and appreciate your kindness, but what I'm going to do this time, you know in your heart that on the battlefield Swords have no eyes, things in the world are unpredictable, who will win and who will lose, and who will live and who will die is still unknown, I hope you can stay here, guard the frontier, and not get mixed up in this mess."
Seeing that Ji Zeyu was about to open his mouth to refute, Pang Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know what you think, but your best choice this time is to protect yourself. Although Anyang is gone, you are the consort of the royal family. The queen mother is still there. Well, if you go back with me, you will be accused of rebelling against the Yue family and your own family, and this will become a stain on you! You are already a hero who has made great achievements in battle and is respected by the people, why bother to go into troubled waters again?"
Both Xu Weizhi and Qin Huaiyuan agreed with Pang Xiao's words, and the two nodded, "Ding Guogong really doesn't have to take risks."
Ji Zeyu smiled freely and said: "What is Dingguo Gong, what is the honor of the common people? I have never cared about this. Now it is only one step away from Guotai Min'an, and the goal of our uprising that day was only one step away. I Why back down?"
Pang Xiao's heart shook.
They rose up in rebellion and rebelled against the guarantees of the North Ji State, and they had only one purpose, that is, to make the people of the world no longer oppressed and exploited by the imperial court, so that the people could live a stable life.
The original Beiji emperor couldn't do it, so they got into trouble.
Today's emperor can't do it, so they have to continue.
Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu are the same kind of people. For more than ten years, their original intentions have not changed. No one has been fascinated by fame and fortune, confused and changed direction.
The three brothers, the only one who has changed is the one sitting in that position.
Ji Zeyu patted Pang Xiao's shoulder back, and smiled heartily: "What are you afraid of, just come here, it's time to go to the next step, just do our own thing."
Pang Xiao finally couldn't stop Ji Zeyu and nodded.
Qin Huaiyuan and Xu Weizhi were also very moved.
Ji Zeyu is a taciturn person. He never thought that at a critical moment, he would not only stand up for Pang Xiao, but also say such a thing. It seems that his taciturnity is only reserved for irrelevant outsiders, and for those who he regards as his own brothers, he will no longer be indifferent.
"Okay!" Pang Xiao nodded confidently: "Since that's the case, then we're ready to set off!"
Ji Zeyu heard the words and nodded with a smile.
At the same time, Li Qitian, who had dealt with the Tatar Khan and the traitor, was finally in a better mood, and ordered to continue to arrest those suspected of Zhou Lian, the former prince, and expanded the scope of the search to surrounding towns.
This search made Shuntian Prefecture and Gyeonggi Guards exhausted. They searched twice in a row, but no one was found. When they searched for the third time, everyone was too lazy to take a closer look. There are so many people on the left and right, everyone is in the book, and no one is suspicious, so how can you arbitrarily arrest someone for business
Even if they can find a teenager of the same age, they still have to find the jade seal of the previous dynasty! Otherwise, with the temper of the emperor, they will be punished severely!
After killing the traitor with shame and fury before the snow, the capital was once again caught in a turmoil.
Some people didn't even dare to leave the house, but only came out when they really ran out of food at home.
Not only ordinary people, but also high-ranking officials. After the bloody scene in front of Fengtian Palace, their understanding of the emperor has also changed greatly. No one dared to be troubled at this time, even the family of the imperial court officials are now a bit low-key.
The entire capital was shrouded in a layer of black clouds.
The previous prince, Li Qitian, could not find it, so he pointed the finger at Pang Xiao again.
He mobilized three thousand battalions of soldiers and horses, arranged two henchmen, Song Deqiu and Lei Guoneng, as imperial envoys, went directly to the border to read the imperial edict, escorted Prince Zhongshun, who had committed eleven serious crimes, back to Beijing, and punished the crimes committed by Pang Xiao. The punishment list informs the world.
This time, Li Qitian's words were sincere, and he wrote the words of a conscientious and conscientious king of a country who worshipped his elder brother. After reading it, many people doubted his previous judgment.
"Could it be that the emperor is really wronged? Prince Zhongshun is really conspiring to do something wrong, but the emperor has been forgiving?"
"Could it be that we misunderstood the Son of Heaven?"
"How do the dignitaries in the imperial court live, and what kind of grievances are there among them? It's not something we ordinary people can see or hear. What we see is probably an illusion. Who can say what it really is? allow?"
There are not a few people who have such doubts.
Li Qitian's method actually caused many people to doubt Pang Xiao.
And just at this time, another letter from Zhou Lian, the prince of the previous dynasty, spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital overnight, detailing what Li Qitian has done over the years, and two times of disaster relief, east and west. Everything Shi Pangxiao paid was listed.
With such a strong contrast, anyone with some brains will know who is black and who is white.
Before Li Qitian was angry enough because of this narration, news came from Beijiang.
"The Holy Master is not good! Prince Zhongshun and Duke Dingguo have returned to the dynasty with a large army!"
