Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 906 If you beat him to death, he will remember it.

"Is that much?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Do you know how the number two thousand three hundred and twenty-seven came from? That is the total number of cases committed by Zhu Liang's grandfather and son in Guangdong over the years!"

"Behind every number, there is a family whose family has been destroyed. Isn't it not kind enough for us to only give the father and son a whip?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, the emperor is merciful..." Feng Sheng had nothing to say and could only beg the emperor to save Zhu Liangzu from death.

"We didn't say we were going to kill him. If he can survive, his life will be saved." Zhu Yuanzhang remained unmoved and said, "If he can't survive, there's nothing we can do."

Then he ordered in a deep voice: "Since Song Guogong cares so much about Yongjia Marquis and his son, he will take all the marquises, Zheng Guogong and Shen Guogong to watch the execution together."

"Yes..." Feng Sheng secretly cried out that he was unlucky. He couldn't save him, and he was in trouble for nothing. He was too scared to speak anymore, otherwise Boss Zhu would let him crack the whip himself.

~~

Zhu Liang's grandfather and son were escorted outside the Meridian Gate with swords and swords, and hung on a specially built torture rack.

Then there were several powerful warriors holding whips and began to execute the people.

At this time, there were three types of whips used by the government for whipping, namely, the system whip, the legal whip, and the regular whip. The three whips were made of several leather strips twisted into one, which was called a "Crane Head Neck".

The difference is that strips of raw cowhide are used for making whips, and the edges are not removed; strips of rawhide are also used for making whips, but the edges are not removed; and strips of cooked cowhide are used for regular whips, but the edges are not removed. The damage of the three types of whips decreases in descending order. The one that hurts the most is the whip, which can tear a person's skin and flesh to pieces with just one blow.

Boss Zhu hated Zhu Liang's grandfather so much that he ordered the guards to use the heaviest whip to execute him. I saw the guard rounding his arms and whipping down the whip. With a crack of the whip, the robe on Zhu Liangzu's upper body was torn, leaving a foot-long bright red whip mark on his torso that was riddled with old injuries. It was shocking!

Another guard also began to whip Zhu Xian. The father and son were whipped one after another under the watchful eyes of the princes.

The two men were very tough. Instead of crying and crying in the golden palace, they gritted their teeth and received the whip without saying a word.

After the two hundred whips passed, two more guards were replaced for execution. At this time, the clothes of both of them were torn to pieces, the skin and flesh were torn all over their bodies, and blood dripped down their bodies and onto the ground.

After more than three hundred lashes, Zhu Xian fainted.

After more than four hundred lashes, Zhu Liangzu also fainted.

The guards poured water on the two men to wake them up and continued the execution.

The two of them were dying at this time. The flesh on their bodies was beaten to pieces and their bones were faintly exposed. The scene was very terrifying.

Although the princes and princes were used to seeing death, they still felt it was too terrible to see death, and they did not dare not to look at it. Move your eyes to the ground and listen to the very regular sound of whipping, one after another, as if it will never stop.

Fortunately, the father and son no longer felt pain. They were just being tortured numbly, waiting for the moment of death.

Finally, after eight hundred and thirty lashes, Zhu Liangzu died.

Less than a hundred times later, Zhu Xian also ended his life...

"Stop fighting, why fight when everyone is dead!" Seeing that the guards were still whipping the corpse, Lu Zhongheng finally couldn't help but shouted angrily.

The guard stopped his whip and hurried in to report.

Zhu Yuanzhang was on the Wufeng Tower and watched Zhu Liang's grandfather and son being tortured throughout. Instead of enjoying the process, he felt miserable.

"We really don't want to be Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, but they forced us to go to this point..." Zhu Yuanzhang held the rough city bricks in his hands, as if to break off a piece, and whispered to the prince:

"We are not unkind to Zhu Liangzu. He was a surrendered general, but he surrendered and rebelled again. We all forgave him and did not suspect him because of this. We also treated him with confidence and allowed him to be trusted."

"In the end, he was made to worship General Zhengnan and became the first marquis to become a general in the Ming Dynasty! His promotion to the title of Duke is just around the corner. The king's kindness to his ministers can't be more generous, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed:

"Daotong impeached him twice, but we didn't go into details. We just reminded him and urged him to change his past mistakes. This will not happen again. The emperor can't be more tolerant to his ministers, can he?"

"Yes." The prince nodded, and Qian Qingzong said that his father's favor towards Zhu Liangzu was unique.

"But what has been gained by being tolerant over and over again? Arrogance due to favor!" Zhu Yuanzhang punched the arrow stack with his fist and gritted his teeth: "How dare he use us as a swordsman and use us to get rid of him? It’s so cruel and heartless to get rid of a political opponent!”

"Yes." The prince knew that his father was immersed in deep frustration and anger at the moment. Nothing he said was in vain. He had to let him speak out and calm down before speaking.

At this time, the guards came up to ask for instructions. The father and son were already dead. Should the execution continue?

"Forget it." The prince said softly, "If I beat them again, they won't feel it anymore."

"Well..." Zhu Yuanzhang did not refute the prince's face.

~~

Soon, the guards brought back the emperor's decree. Zhu Liangzu thought that he had served well and was allowed to keep the whole body. Zhu Siam peeled off the skin and pulled out the grass and hung it on Baihu Street to serve as a warning to future generations!

When the honorable nobles heard this, they said, good fellow, this is endless.

There are two streets on the left and right of Qianbu Corridor, with Qinglong Street on the left and White Tiger on the right. Qinglong Street is where the Wubu Yamen is located, and Baihu Street is where the Fifth Army Governor's Office is located.

The emperor wants to hang Zhu Xian's human skin puppet where the nobles work, so that they can see it every day when they go to work and get off work. The warning effect is very powerful... but they don't take into account their mood.

The civil servants were very pleased that they no longer had to enjoy this treatment exclusively. On Qinglong Street, the human skin puppets of the former Minister of Civil Affairs, Yu Xi, had been hanging for two years, and their color had faded due to exposure to wind, sun, and rain.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored what happened next and came down from the Wufeng Tower. He did not take the imperial chariot and asked the prince to accompany him for a walk.

"It's just a stone that I can warm him up with. Why do you think Zhu Liangzu always goes his own way?" Zhu Yuanzhang was still immersed in deep frustration.

But seeing that he was starting to think about the reasons behind it, Zhu Biao could say a few more words.

"Father, don't think too much. The same rice can feed all kinds of people. Some people will repay their kindness with springs. Some people are just stubborn and have no humanity at all." He said softly:

"Besides, Zhu Liangzu is not inhumane. He still respects his father, otherwise he would not be so obedient and hand over military power."

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang's expression brightened slightly when he heard this.

"My son thought that he had reached this point, and it was more because his old thinking was too heavy. He felt that as long as he was loyal to the emperor and fought well, he didn't care about anything else." Zhu Biao added: "Besides, when I went to Guangdong and saw the lawlessness of those local tyrants, he Naturally, we will learn from others.”

"Well, everyone from Li Shanchang to the commander Qianhu below has this idea." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "I have been helping the emperor for half a lifetime, and the whole world has been conquered by him. What's wrong with enjoying it? Let's take care of it. , they think we are making a fuss out of a molehill, being mean and ungrateful, and being like a rabbit to a dog!"

"It's not the time yet..." At the end, he muttered angrily.

"All the founding emperors of the past faced the same problem, and it wasn't just my father who had a headache." The prince comforted him and said, "Fortunately, there is still Liu Liu."
