Chapter 526 Blood sacrifice
The ritual was chosen to be held in the ancestral hall of the Zongzhengsi Department. Everyone knows that things related to the royal family are all about majesty and luxury. The same is true here, with nine pillars opening, dragons and phoenixes drawing. This should be the most majestic building in the city, but with Pu Shou Geng surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty and many royal families were killed, it inevitably declined. "In order to welcome the emperor, although the cleaning was carried out urgently, it was still difficult to hide the desolation, but the buildings here were preserved intact. Zhao Bing thought that in addition to the care of the local people, Pu Shou Geng might also be timid about this, regardless of whether he was unmoved.
The rituals will begin for a while, and the sect of the East Courtyard will become a temporary resting place for Zhao Bing. The place is also not small. It was the first time the emperor came here, so he naturally had a tour guide. However, no relatives found it. Cai Wanyi, the one who was most familiar with it, was the one who accompanied His Majesty. The sect has a four-familiar hall and a Xuansheng Temple. There are more than 3,000 people in the outer sect of Quanzhou. I think there were also students here and the sound of books is full of books. But at this time, things have changed. In addition to the ancient banyan and cypress in the empty courtyard, there is no voice, which makes Zhao Bing feel even more sad, and he is in a heavy mood, and his hatred for the Pu family is even more serious.
In the world, the nobles do not have to farm or do business. They all eat the support of the state and live a rich and leisurely life. These playboys do nothing except carry cages and hold birds, bullying men and women. Of course, this is also the life that Zhao Bing yearns for. But under Cai Wanyi's explanation, he realized that this is not the case. The children of the royal family must go to school when they reach age, and the distant clans can also participate in the imperial examinations and official positions. They are definitely not wasteful and strange insects. Of course, there are also unworthy children among them.
The royal family is not short of money and attaches importance to education. The teachers are definitely first-class. According to current standards, Quanzhou sects can definitely be included in the national key middle schools, and the admission rate is just right. Since the establishment of Quanzhou sect, there have been 127 Jinshi in the clan. There are also many officials. During this period, there were ten members of the 87 Quanzhou market leaders responsible for overseas trade. There were 13 royal magistrates and 51 royal magistrates appeared in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou alone. Such appointments were so common in the Southern Song Dynasty that everyone seemed to be accustomed to the royal magistrates and counties.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" The little emperor suddenly stopped. Cai Wanyi asked hurriedly when he saw his face full of evil spirits.
"I will not destroy the Pu family and the Tartars, I am sorry for these martyred royal families!" It is said that the brothers who fought against tigers and went to battle father and son soldiers. After this change, I can even empathize with it. Thinking about Wang Mang usurped the throne, Liu Xiu relied on the power of the royal family to restore the Han Dynasty. His father and brother died and surrendered, and he could not count on the death of his father and brother, and his relatives of the same clan also died and dispersed. If these people were alive, they would not be able to become the main force for restoring the country, but at least he could have some trust. Now he was only struggling with himself. How could Zhao Bing not hate him? He gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Majesty, the sacrifice has begun. Please move your Majesty!" The time has come, Wen Tianxiang and others come over to invite him.
"Yes!" Zhao Bing was dressed and turned to the ancestral hall with the guided ritual officer.
The music started to rise and the sound of Zhao Bing went to the ancestral hall, and bowed to Taizu and his ancestors to incense and offer sacrifices to the ancestors in the rituals of the ritual officials. Then Wen Tianxiang, who withdrew from the main sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial spirits in person to understand the aspirations of restoring the country.
"Innocent?! Wen Xiang thought there are still innocent people in this world?" Ying Jieyan sighed, "Your Majesty is still young and should have been around her knees and begging her to hug her, and she is the happiest and worry-free age. But Your Majesty has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring the country and saving the people, leading troops to defend the enemy, and conquering the world, with blood on his hands. Is this also Your Majesty's wish? These people were born in the Pu family and were born in this chaotic world, and they are no longer innocent people."
"Alas, even though that is the case, Your Majesty is still young and often immersed in this killing, he will inevitably become more and more violent. It is not a good deed for the country and the people!" Wen Tianxiang knew that what Ying Jieyan said was true, but more than 2,000 people were executed since he captured Quanzhou. Although it was necessary to use this to deter rebellion, he was inevitably suspected of killing him. As an important minister of the government, he naturally could not sit idly by.
"What Wen Xiang said is very true. Although Your Majesty is smart, he is young and not fully wise, so he still needs to be good at teaching!" He is honest and strict in protecting his shortcomings, but he also knows that Wen Tianxiang's words are reasonable and nods to say that it is the truth.
‘dong, dong, dong…’ As he spoke, three drums rang and the drum sounded abruptly. The Pu family members who were kneeling on the ground also knew that their death date had come, and they immediately cried loudly. Some had already collapsed on the ground, had shit and urine incontinence, some were struggling, and some were begging for mercy, and they didn’t want to die anyway.
"Blade!" Zhao Mengjin waved the order flag suddenly,
"Hi!" As the executioners shouted loudly, the ghost-headed knife in their hands suddenly swung down, hundreds of heads rolled to the ground, and blood mist splashed out from the cavity more than a foot high. The entire square was shrouded in bright red, and the smell of shit and urine in the air was immediately replaced by blood.
‘Ah sneezing!’ Zhao Bing was blown by the bloody smell and sneezed violently. This was the first time he had been sentenced to the on-site prison sentence, but he caught up with such a big scene. In the end, he almost couldn’t help but pardon them at the last moment. But he still held back. He knew that this was not a conflict among the people, but a conflict between the enemy and the enemy, and he must not be soft-hearted. However, when the knife was swung down, he closed his eyes and did not see the moment when the head fell to the ground. He only saw the scene of dirty blood flowing and the headless corpse twitching there.
"Report to Your Majesty, all 189 criminals have been executed and have been killed. My subordinates have submitted their orders!" After the inspection, Zhao Mengjin came over to salute.
