Chapter 218 A seven-foot man can sacrifice himself
As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
The officials had long known in their hearts that these captives from Dashi and Tianzhu would definitely be sentenced to death by Liu Mingzhi, but they never expected that Liu Mingzhi would be so decisive.
He took the people into the palace and asked two of them for their names. If they disagreed, they were pushed out and beheaded in public. This was too unreasonable!
The civil and military officials came to their senses and looked at each other, not knowing what to advise.
Xia Gongming, the chief minister of the cabinet, hurriedly walked out holding the imperial hut: "Your Majesty, please don't. Isn't it a bit against the rules to push these prisoners out and kill them so hastily?"
Although these barbarians cannot escape death penalty, at least let them..."
Liu Mingzhi raised his head and looked at Xia Gongming: "Rules? What rules? I am the rule.
I didn’t order them to be killed, cut in half, split their chariots, or quarter them by five horses, which would have been enough.”
"this……"
“King Wuyi.”
“I am here.”
"He led his men to drag these executioners out of the palace gate, took them to Caishikou, and beheaded them on the spot. Their heads were hung on the city gate for three days for the people to watch."
ifies.
“Xu Chong, you lead a group of brothers and escort these executioners to Caishikou to interrogate them.”
“Get the order!”
Xu Chong, the commander of the Forbidden Army, stood outside the palace and waved, and a large group of Forbidden Army soldiers ran into the palace. Without saying a word, they picked up the frightened prisoners and walked out of the palace.
“Your Majesty, Emperor Dalong, the little king knows that he is wrong, please spare your life, spare your life.”
"Little Wang also knows that he is wrong. Spare your life, spare your life."
“Spare your life!”
After listening to Liu Mingzhi’s words, hundreds of prisoners already knew what was waiting for them and others next, and they kept struggling and begging loudly for mercy.
Liu Mingzhi looked coldly at the prisoners who were crying and struggling, unmoved at all.
When they slaughtered the people of Dalong, did they ever care about their begging for mercy? Since they dared to put the butcher knife on the people of Dalong, they must be prepared to pay with blood.
Beheading them on the spot in public, and dying so happily is already their blessing.
“My lords, do you have any other documents or memorials to submit?”
The officials withdrew their gazes at the prisoners, and all bowed to Liu Mingzhi.
“I have no original intention to report.”
“Withdraw from the court.”
"I respectfully send you your Majesty's greetings. Long live, long live."
"Zhao Qing, Hu Sanyuan, you have been traveling day and night all the way. I think you are already exhausted. Now you can go back to the school camp to rest. After you have recovered your spirits, I will go to visit you after I have finished handling the government affairs in hand."
you."
“Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. I will take my leave.”
Liu Mingzhi picked up the book on the Dragon Case that recorded the details of the Western Expedition, stood up and walked towards the back hall.
After the officials saw Liu Mingzhi leaving, they got up and walked out of the hall in small groups, talking in low voices.
In the Guangming Hall of the harem, Liu Mingzhi took off his dragon robe and put on light ordinary clothes under the service of the palace maid, picked up his books and left the hall.
“Master, shall we go back home or set up a stall?”
"Go home directly. I have to read this book carefully about the Western Expedition."
Only when we understand the detailed situation of the Western Expeditionary Army in Tianzhu and Dashi, can I begin to plan the following actions."
“Yes, please, Master.”
In the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion, Liu Mingzhi watched the three beauties sitting in the pavilion embroidering handkerchiefs and chatting softly as they walked over.
“Yun’er, Yun Shu, Qing Shi, what are you talking about?”
The three women immediately put down their needlework and came out.
“Husband, you are back.”
“Well, I’m back, what were you talking about?”
“Of course we are talking about how you will deal with those barbarian executioners, husband. There is such a big commotion in the capital today, can I, my sister, not be curious?”
“Husband, tell me how you dealt with those executioners?”
“Yes, yes, why did you come back so early? You have to be busy interrogating hundreds of people for a whole day, right?”
Liu Mingzhi handed the confession at the bottom of the book to the three beauties: "Their crimes have been clearly written in the confession, and my husband has read it carefully.
Since there was nothing to interrogate, my husband directly ordered the imperial army to take them to Caishikou for questioning and execution.
It is easier for them to let them die so happily."
“Huh? Just beheaded in public?”
Looking at Wen Ren Yunshu's astonished face, Liu Mingzhi nodded with a faint smile: "Yes, what else could we do? These are their confessions. If you are idle and bored, just take them and read them.
Since my husband still had some business to deal with, he went to the study first.
There is no need to call me husband for lunch and dinner. Yun'er, one of you can just send me some food to fill my stomach. I will probably be busy until midnight today."
The three women looked at Liu Mingzhi's self-deprecating smile, and the distress in his beautiful eyes was self-evident.
“Husband, no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your health! Ever since what happened with Sister Tao Ying, you have often been busy until late at night. How can you keep up with this!”
“That’s right! Your body is your capital. Sister Tao Ying hopes that you can work diligently and love the people, but you can’t even ignore your physical safety, right?
Sister Tao Ying will definitely be unhappy if she sees you in this state."
“Husband, I don’t mean to mention your sadness, I just hope you can take good care of your body.”
When Liu Mingzhi heard Tao Ying's name, the sadness in his eyes flashed away, and he smiled casually when he saw the worry in the eyes of the three women.
“Hey, batching documents and memorials is much easier than marching and fighting in the past. At best, it is a matter of staying up late. It is not worth mentioning when my husband commanded the troops and horses to go to war.
As for you, don’t worry, your husband will not make you widowed at a young age!
I will take a rest myself when I am tired, don’t worry, I just told you that I will go to the study first.”
Looking at the back of their husband who had just left, the three women looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads.
“Sister, I’m going to stew an old hen in soup, and I’ll take it with me when I deliver the meal to her husband.”
“Let’s go together and help each other go faster.”
“Okay, let’s go together.”
Liu Mingzhi dove into the study, holding the condensed account of the Western Expedition copied by Zhang Kuang and the others, and silently flipping through it. From time to time, he picked up a pen and marked something on the page, and did not come out until the golden crow fell in the west.
When the Jade Rabbit first ascended, Wenren Yunshu personally brought some dinner to Liu Mingzhi.
The candlelight in the study was dim and crackling.
Wenren Yunshu smiled sweetly and looked at her husband who was eating and reading at the same time. He walked softly behind Liu Mingzhi and gently rubbed his shoulders. He did not leave the study until the night fell.
As dawn broke outside the window, Liu Mingzhi gently put down the book in his hand, stretched out and walked to the window and stopped, staring at the hazy sky and murmuring softly.
“A seven-foot-tall man can sacrifice himself and remain a ghost forever without returning home.”
