Chapter 303 Lip and Teeth (11)
As three cannons passed, a group of people quickly divided a passage among the crowd. Li Qing and Liu Zhang were locked in a prison car and escorted down from the Imperial Guard to the wind and rain platform.
Chen Hao, the highest officer of the Inspectorate, walked up to the stage quickly and personally raised the complaint and read it out to the audience. In order to let the people present hear the sound, this time he deliberately used the newly produced amplification equipment. Of course, the components used by the amplifier are primitive electronic tubes, which clearly conveyed the sound to everyone's ears through the speakers distributed around the wind and rain platform.
Chen Hao's speech lasted for more than an hour, and everyone in the audience was dizzy when they heard it, but they were still very interested in the Inspectorate Office being able to find so many evidence and charges.
After the crime was read out, Li Ming personally climbed to the storm platform. When the people below the audience saw him, they all knelt down on the stage. Now Li Ming's reputation is at its peak. The people sincerely admire and respect him when they see him. I am afraid that all the Emperors of the Tang Dynasty could not do this.
"As the prince of the Tang Empire, Li Qing actually treasoned the country and colluded with the enemy, causing huge casualties in the lobby, and was executed as a result. Aide Liu Zhang, who has been advised by Li Qing for many years, was the same as Li Qing. Today, he really wanted to behead them in front of all the people. The execution of the official will be executed immediately at noon and at three o'clock."
The deceased officer was Ma Lin. He agreed loudly, came to Li Qing and Liu Zhang who were kneeling on the stage, looked down, stood up and shouted loudly, "Go back to the emperor, the prisoner will verify it correctly, and wait for the beheading."
While everyone was waiting anxiously, noon and three o'clock finally arrived. As the sound of the bell and drum tower sounded, the people below the stage began to make noise. Malin stood up and shouted loudly: "Noon and three o'clock have arrived, and I will start a lawsuit and ask for it!"
The executioner, who had already prepared, took off the wooden sign behind them, raised the heavy ghost-headed knife, and the assistant next to them pressed the two of them firmly on the wooden pier, as snow was about to splash on the spot.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded behind the stage: "The Supreme Emperor has an order, and there are people under the knife!" With the sound, a figure quickly jumped up from the backstage and knelt in front of Li Ming, and then shouted: "Tao Xun, the chief supervisor of the Yellow Sect of the Slave Palace, requested the emperor to stop the execution, and the Supreme Emperor asked them to be pardoned." This voice overshadowed the bustling voices of the scene, and clearly entered everyone's ears, showing the extraordinary internal strength of this person.
Li Ming's mouth twitched slightly, turned his head to stare at Ma Lin, and shouted sternly: "The time has come, what are you waiting for?"
After receiving Li Ming's instructions, Malin didn't care about the orders of the Supreme Emperor. Looking at the two executioners, he shouted loudly: "Behead immediately!"
It has long been said that the two executioners who raised the sword to the top of their heads received the order and slashed hard at the back of Li Qing and Liu Zhang's necks. With the gushing blood, the two heads rolled on the wind and rain platform.
Li Ming's eyes turned to Gao Xun, who was kneeling on the ground and pale, snorted coldly, turned around and walked downstairs. When he walked to Malin, he whispered: "Treat the head and put it in a box and send it to me. I'm useful."
With Li Ming's departure, all the officials and soldiers at the scene gradually dispersed, and the two bodies were also collected by special personnel. The two heads were quietly taken away by Ma Lin's subordinates. In a short while, Gao Xun, who was kneeling there, was left on the wind and rain platform.
In the harem, after Li Ming had lunch, Ma Lin came to the study with two sandalwood boxes.
Li Ming nodded, just said softly, "Come with me." Then he stood up and walked out of the study.
It is not too far from Li Ming's study to the Supreme Palace, and it can be reached in more than ten minutes. As soon as I entered the gate, the imperial physician in charge of Li Song's health hurried out and saw Li Ming, he hurried forward to greet him.
"Is there anything wrong? Look at your face so panicked?" Li Ming asked softly.
"Back to the emperor, the emperor's old illness recurs due to grief. He is currently lying in bed without thinking about food and food. I am about to go to the Imperial Hospital to get some valuable medicines." The imperial physician replied respectfully.
"You go, go and go back quickly." Li Ming ordered and walked towards Li Song's bedroom.
At this time, Li Song had completely become the scene when Li Ming first saw him. He lay on the bed with a pale face, with a trace of tears at the corner of his eyes. Princess Changle sat on the side with an expressionless face. When she saw Li Ming coming in, she knelt silently on the ground.
"Brother, how do you feel?" Li Ming approached the bedside and asked softly.
Li Song slowly opened his eyes, his eyes paused on Li Ming's face for a moment, and suddenly reached out to grab his collar, and said tremblingly: "You...you are ruthless and innocent people...and still have the face to appear in front of me...You killed my brother, I will fight you for the hard work!" After saying that, a force from some unknown place came from, reached out to pinch Li Ming's throat.
Li Ming pulled Li Song's hands expressionlessly, pressed him down on the bed, took two steps back, and said with a gloomy face: "Brother, I just want to ask you one thing today. We said it well, and you will not interfere with Li Qing's affairs. Why did you suddenly change your mind today? Why did you use your name as the Supreme Emperor to suppress me in front of thousands of people? Don't you know that doing so will have a very bad impact on the people's minds?"
Li Song laughed wildly and said while laughing: "You still know that the impact is not good? Li Ming, I passed the throne to you, not to let you kill all the Li family. Although we had this tacit understanding at the beginning, I made this decision under your pressure. I regret it afterwards. I really regret it. You don't know how I came here during this period. Li Qing is my younger brother. Although he once rebelled against me, he is still my own flesh and blood. How can I bear to let you behead him? Li Ming, you are so ruthless! Moreover, now I have no position in your heart! What am I? Are you a prisoner imprisoned in the Supreme Palace by you? Today I want to make you embarrassed in front of thousands of people. I want to see if I, the Supreme Emperor, are there any use. Now it seems that you are indeed an ungrateful thing." At this point, he gasped violently.
Li Ming's expression gradually turned cold. He turned his head and stared at Princess Changle kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "It seems that I was wrong. I shouldn't have put you and your elder brother together. I still underestimated you. Li Yan, how did you use to encourage your elder brother to start treating me as an enemy? Is my positive performance in front of your elder brother over the past two years not as good as your encouragement over the past six months?"
There was no fear on Princess Changle's face. She slowly stood up, looked at Li Mingyan and smiled, with all kinds of charm, and said, "Your Majesty, can I tell you my painstaking efforts? No matter when and where, I am protecting you, and this time I am thinking about you. Think about it, there is a Supreme Emperor in the harem, how can I feel at ease as an emperor? You are kind-hearted and can't bear to take the initiative to solve this problem, so let me solve it for you. Now, do you want your Supreme Emperor to die?"
A chill in Li Ming's heart rose, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but thump. The Li Yan in front of him was really terrible. She did this not for herself, but for herself. If she didn't do this, she would have to spend her whole life with Li Song. This was really unbearable for her ambitious. Only by doing this can she get rid of the fate of being placed under house arrest in the Supreme Palace and force Li Ming to reconsider her place of return. However, her heart was a little too much.
Before Li Ming could answer, Princess Changle came to Li Ming, reached out to take the two wooden boxes in Malin's hand, and smiled and said, "It seems that your brother's actions today are no longer tolerant, and you even have the gifts ready. However, do you really want to be this bad guy by yourself? Anyway, I am already the scorpion woman in everyone's mind, so I'll do this."
After saying that, she opened a box and looked at it, put the other one on the table beside her, came to Li Song's bed, and smiled at Li Song, who was pale and gasping for breath, saying, "Brother, look at your gift, I believe you will be looking forward to it."
The box was opened to face Li Song. Inside the box, Li Qing's head was lying quietly inside. The blood on his face had not been wiped clean. In the dim room, it looked extremely ferocious.
Li Song's violent breathing suddenly stopped. He stared at Li Qing in the box with a dull gaze. He suddenly screamed, thrust his upper body, and then fell on the bed. After taking a few quick breaths, he foamed at the mouth and no longer had any sound.
Princess Changle smiled and turned around, closed the box in her hand, and smiled at Li Mingyanran, "How is it? I'm more useful. The emperor can push this matter down on me in the future. Your image is still glorious and great."
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Li Ming's lips showed a sneer.
Princess Changle giggled, came to Li Ming and stared at his eyes, and said, "Are you willing to give up? There are few women like me who are smart and beautiful, ruthless, and can become the emperor's most capable assistant. Why don't you think about it? Yan'er's request is very simple, which is to be your concubine and help you govern the Tang Dynasty. With a concubine here, it can relieve you a lot of burden."
