Chapter 515 : Cannonball
Most people in this huge Hall of Cultivation of the Heart have never seen the emperor get angry several times a day. Ever since he heard the "great joy" of the emperor Jialin's true harvest of yin and yang, Emperor Yuan Hui rarely got angry, and basically did it.
His heart was as calm as water, but he didn't expect that Emperor Yuan Hui would get angry several times early this morning. As a result, all the servants who served him looked curiously at the emperor who was supposed to be aloof, but was now dirty.
"That bitch Qiluo, you have been holding back for many years for my throne. Unexpectedly, the fox's tail has finally been exposed. When I take care of Xiao Yun, I will take care of you again!" Emperor Yuan Hui's eyes showed murderous intent. It took a while.
He turned around and shouted to the eunuch beside him: "You're useless, why don't you quickly change your clothes with me, I'm going to court!"
"Yes, Your Majesty...?" A panicked voice sounded, like a late bell ringing. Dozens of eunuchs carefully put the dragon robe on Emperor Yuan Hui. The huge dragon robe shone in the sunlight.
, seems extremely shocking.
At noon, the slightly poisonous sunlight shines on a large copper pillar in the outer hall of Jinluan Hall. The copper pillar is extremely large, and the pillar body is slippery, leaving no luster. It is as if it has been wiped with oil and fire for thousands of years.
Give off a stunning light.
Legend has it that this copper pillar was invented by the concubine of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. It is said that once, King Zhou and Daji were having an outing in the forest. Just after a shower, a tree was struck down by lightning and burst into flames. But strangely, it
There were many ants walking from one end of the tree to the other. The ants that couldn't stand the heat fell from the tree and fell into the fire. King Zhou thought the ants were stupid and didn't look good.
, but Daji came up with the cruel punishment of burning with cannon from this phenomenon. Later, Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, was dissatisfied with Daji for deceiving King Zhou, so he once ordered people to capture Jichang, tied him to a copper pillar, and then ordered people to burn him red.
Copper pillars, apply hot grease to the copper pillars. When the hot grease begins to emit the aroma of oil, tie the prisoner to the red-hot pillar and endure the torment of the scalding fire.
, until the prisoner couldn't bear it anymore and was boiled to death. In fact, it was heinous torture.
Today, there is a person tied up on the copper pillar. The person's face is pale, and there are bloodstains all over his body. Especially the clothes on his chest are already in tatters. Anyone who knows clearly can tell at a glance that this is definitely not a natural damage. It is obviously the result of long-term damage due to gravity.
He was beaten so severely that his clothes became like this.
"Bah, Your Majesty is so kind to others, but you don't know how to repay your kindness and report it to the court. You dare to secretly contact the rebel Zhang Shicheng and burn down our Dayuan granary. It's really hateful!" The ministers of the DPRK and China who had already gone to the Jinluan Palace to wait were surprised.
The young man spat at the man fiercely.
"Hey, I really didn't expect... The emperor trusted him so much, let him be a fourth-class southerner, a high-ranking official in the court, and let him lead troops on expeditions. He actually treated his majesty like this, and was so cruel, helping Zhang Shicheng
Trapping and killing my imperial court’s 400,000-strong army... is really hateful.
!" Among the ministers, someone started to yell and curse again. The court ministers came one after another, and many people glanced at that person's face one by one, pointing, and many people even whispered, pointed fingers, and gnashed their teeth.
Only in the corner, a Chinese character showed a vicious smile on his lips.
The man on the copper pillar slowly opened his distracted eyes, and happened to see the man in the corner. The two looked at each other, and the Chinese character sneered twice. Although he sneered, it was filled with the joy and pleasure of victory.
The man on the copper pillar just had his mouth slightly curved, with a look of disdain.
The man in the corner seemed to be irritated. He let out a fierce sigh and cursed: "You don't know how to live or die, you will look good in a while!"
"Hehe...hehe...?"
Faced with such a sneer, the man on the copper pillar always raised the corners of his mouth slightly, forming a beautiful arc, with an expression of indifference. As everyone pointed and shouted, the man in the corner suddenly left
When he came out, he strode towards the man with the copper pillar. He walked closer slowly, one step...two steps...and finally the man stood in front of the man with the copper pillar.
"I wonder if Mr. Ha has any advice?" The man who was tied to the copper pillar motionless actually showed a weird smile after seeing the visitor. The smile was weird rather than dismissive.
The person who came was none other than Hama. He was extremely happy to learn that Xiao Yun had been arrested. From the confessions of Liu Dachuan and the old man yesterday, Xiao Yun was definitely guilty of the crime of rebelling. He had always seen it
Xiao Yun didn't like it. If he hadn't been unable to find opportunities, what would he do?
Today, a great opportunity is in front of him. Seeing his hated enemy in the past being tied to a copper pillar and humiliated at will, what could be more painful than this? So early in the morning, he couldn't wait to notify the court.
Many ministers came to watch.
"Huh, you just don't know how to live or die. Today I will let you know what will happen to those who are against me." Hama leaned over and stared at Xiao Yun and said fiercely.
Xiao Yun burst out laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Hama said sharply.
Xiao Yun still laughed, which aroused the curiosity of a group of people, who all looked here to watch. Hama sneered and said: "Don't expect anyone to save you, today is the day for your death, Xiao Yun!"
Xiao Yun still smiled, and after a long time he stopped smiling and said in a low voice: "I, Xiao Yun, don't even know whether I am alive or dead, so how can Mr. Ha know? But when will Mr. Ha die?
Is it very clear?"
"Humph, you are so brazen even when you are about to die!" There was a look of contempt in Hama's eyes.
Xiao Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "Hey, people are always like this. My teacher told me a fable about the tiger and the fox, but I still didn't understand it. Today, after meeting Mr. Ha, I finally understood the meaning.
Already?"
*******************************
The punishment of burning with guns: The name of a cruel punishment set up by King Zhou of Shang Dynasty in order to suppress the rebels. "Historical Records·Yin Benji": "Zhou punished severely and had the method of burning with guns." That is, it is on the copper pillar.
Anoint it with oil and add charcoal underneath to make it hot, so that the guilty person will fall into the charcoal and be burned alive.
I can correct you a mistake: King Zhou of Shang Dynasty did not invent the artillery brand. According to the "Historical Records of Yin Dynasty", at the end of the Shang Dynasty, "the people were resentful and the princes had troubles, so Zhou punished them severely and had the method of artillery iron". It can be seen that,
