dungeon -
The dim candles were extinguished, and the smell of fish, sweat, and rotting corpses mixed together, forming a turbid air.Several piles of withered and yellow hay were randomly spread on the ground, and upon closer inspection, many of them were still covered with reddish-brown, coagulated blood.
The whole cell was dark and dark, like a monster's bloody maw, it was so dark and daunting.The guard behind him cursed rudely, pushed Xiao Yijue into the cell, and locked it with a "click".
Xiao Yijue glanced at him, the coldness almost condensed into substance, and the light in his eyes was like frost, which never melted all year round.
The guard trembled inexplicably, and wanted to curse something, but his throat seemed to be choked by an invisible hand, and he couldn't spit out a single dirty word.It was only then that he remembered Xiao Yijue's identity as the national teacher, and couldn't help but get scared for a while, and ran away in embarrassment.
In return for the push just now, Xiao Yijue gave him some spiritual hints.Although it is not fatal, the nightmares that last for a month are indispensable.
Calmly opening the hem of his clothes, Xiao Yijue sat on the floor with a calm expression. He was clearly in a filthy place, but his every move was still graceful and sacred.
There is no despair and sadness about dying, on the contrary, he feels joy from the bottom of his heart at this moment.
Mu Yihan tried his best to hide the fact that the "emperor is not the emperor", but the fire cannot be covered with paper. Although there are people in the court who are greedy for life and afraid of death, there are even more people who are not afraid of power.Coupled with the help of Xiao Yijue and Murong Ze, this matter spread throughout the entire Tianyuan Kingdom overnight.
I'm afraid even a three-year-old child knows that the current emperor is not a wise king, and he is unwilling to repent after angering the heavens, and instead harms the national teacher who loves the people like a son.
This completely aroused public outrage.
Many people make trouble in front of the palace every day.At first, Mu Yihan ordered the leaders of the rebellion to be killed with a cane, thinking that this would curb their arrogance, but they became more and more courageous and put a lot of pressure on the guards of the palace.
Tianyuan Kingdom is a traditional small-scale peasant economy, and everything is indispensable, and the most important thing is the right time.Therefore, the common people respect, fear and please God, hoping that the weather will be good every year and they can live a better life.
But now that Mu Yihan offended the heavens, it was tantamount to destroying all their good hopes, how could it not arouse people's resentment?If Mu Yisheng hadn't been in the palace, protected by layers of imperial guards, he would have been torn apart by the angry people long ago!
Speaking of which, Xiao Yijue would also like to thank Lan Wu.After Lan Wu served as the national teacher, he really took the common people of the world as his own responsibility, and won extremely high prestige and respect.Unlike Mu Yihan, who is busy eliminating dissidents and framing Zhongliang all day long, but he has done only a handful of good things for the people, no wonder the people don't recognize him.
In addition to the pressure from the people, many ministers also put pressure on Mu Yihan in the court.In the daily memorials, nine out of ten are pleading for mercy to the national teacher. First, they count the merits of the national teacher, and finally they secretly condemn the emperor's small belly; , Openly stated that he was going to retire from his old age and return to his hometown, and he did not want to join forces with him.
Mu Yi was so cold that he went crazy, but he couldn't do anything.His throne is already in jeopardy, and if he does something at this moment, he will become the leader of certain things if he is not careful.
He couldn't afford to gamble, so he could only hold his anger in his heart and wait for the right time to vent it out, so Lu Lenghuang and Mu Yisheng, the "lover", were sad.
After the good things between the two were shattered that day, Mu Yihan destroyed Mu Yisheng's dignity as a man, and imprisoned him in the secret place of the palace, humiliated him day and night, and lied to the outside world that Mu Yisheng had died suddenly.
As for Lu Lenghuang, he completely lost his patience. First, he killed the evil seeds in her belly, and then ordered her to be escorted to watch Mu Yisheng's miserable state, forcing her to hand over the formula of fire and medicine.
Lu Lenghuang was already weak after childbirth, but was threatened by him again, and became crazy, as if suffering from hysteria, and asked about the formula and asked three questions.No matter how ruthless Mu Yihan is, it will be difficult to pry a word out of her mouth.
Not being able to get the formula, and falling into a situation where he was surrounded by enemies, all the events that happened in the past few days almost crushed Mu Yihan's fragile nerves.
This is already the fourth one today.
Eunuch Li, who was standing in front of Zixiao Hall, waved his fly whisk, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and signaled the guards to drag the little eunuch's body down.
The emperor has become more and more irritable and irritable recently. Eunuchs like them who serve close to him are thankless. Being punished is only a trivial matter, and accidental loss of life is common.
Just like this little eunuch, but his footsteps were a little heavier, and he was killed with a stick.
Eunuch Li couldn't help but feel the sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox. When will this hard life end...
Under such circumstances, the day of execution came in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Yijue still maintained a calm mind, and even comforted the jailer in charge of taking care of him in turn.
The jailer was a handsome seven-foot man, crying like a dead father and mother, which made Xiao Yijue dumbfounded, but there was some mockery in his heart.
In Lan Wu's life, he never lived for himself. It was Mu Yihan and Lu Lenghuang who killed him, but what made him disheartened was the people he had dedicated everything to.
When he was imprisoned, when he was slandered, when he was burned at the stake, where were the people who had been favored by him?
They were cursing Lan Wu in the most vicious language, throwing vegetable leaves and eggs in his face without hesitation, poking his spine and pointing their fingers, completely forgetting that the real rescuer is not the so-called God, but the one in front of them. Wretched person.
so!The human heart is the most capricious thing.
It only takes a little rhetoric to turn these stupid people around completely. Their ignorance and self-righteousness will become a sharp weapon that hurts people more than a sword, piercing the heart of a good person and pleasing the face of a wicked person.
I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, that's about it.
What's more, the jailer cried for nothing this time.
Unless he didn't want the throne, it was absolutely impossible for Mu Yihan to kill him.The greatest possibility is to take back the order at [-]:[-] noon to create an image of repentance for the people.
Xiao Yijue knew this clearly, so he was confident.
"Let's go!" He stood up neatly, patted the dust on his robe, and Xiao Yijue stepped out of the cell.
After three days of loneliness in the cell, it was time to go out and collect some interest.
The place of execution was Lingyang Gate in the easternmost part of the capital, which belongs to Dongjie Street, a busy city.Xiao Yijue's prison cart came all the way from the north gate, and there were probably tens of thousands of people following along the road.
Although there were more than 100 guards responsible for escorting the prison van, they still couldn't stop the crowd.The people seemed to be crazy, and they desperately approached the prison car. The guards threatened with swords but it didn't work, and they didn't dare to kill civilians at will. They felt miserable.
Just when the group of people could not move an inch, the person in the cage suddenly said: "Quiet."
The voice was not loud, but it was as gentle as a spring breeze, as if it could blow away the violence in everyone's heart.The few common people who made the most noise became quiet obediently, and no one said much.
"Thank you for your kind treatment to Lan Wu," the young national teacher stood up slowly wearing shackles, and bowed in all directions, "But Lan Wu made a big mistake, death is not a pity, please don't disobey the emperor's orders , otherwise Lan Wu would have made more mistakes."
Seeing this, the people around were even more outraged.
"My lord, what mistake did you make? It's clear that the dog emperor framed you!" One person immediately retorted.
Xiao Yijue recognized this person. His sister was raped and even committed suicide by a dude a few years ago.
"That's right, my lord!" Another person echoed.
He also recognized this person, Lan Wu had visited his seriously ill old mother many times, and sought medical treatment for his mother.
"My lord, just let me rescue you!" This was the guard that Lan Wu single-handedly brought up.
"yes......"
"grown ups......"
The pleadings of the people kept coming and going, but cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the captain of the guard.
However, Xiao Yijue just smiled and waved his hands, with a calm tone: "No need, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, and Lan Wu should have such a calamity in his life."
"grown ups!"
Someone wanted to say something, but he put his index finger to his lips: "Don't say too much, and please don't make things difficult for these guards, they are just following orders."
"My lord!"
Seeing that the national teacher was so merciful when he was about to die, many people cried silently, and the mournful atmosphere infected the entire team.
Seeing the common people who were calmed down by Master Guoshi's two or three words, the captain of the guard team heaved a sigh of relief, and the heart hanging in his throat finally returned to his chest.
Thanks to the active cooperation of the National Teacher, otherwise they would not be able to complete the task, and the death penalty would be avoided, and the living crime would be inevitable.But they wanted to send him to the execution ground with their own hands, which was tantamount to revenge.
With a wry smile, the captain of the escort still gave the order to move forward with a sense of guilt on his back.
When they arrived at the execution ground, the emperor, ministers, and the regent were all present.
Although Xiao Yijue was a prisoner, he still did not kneel down to salute.
The common people knelt down, but the sentence "Long live my emperor" that should have sounded like Hong Zhong seemed to be swallowed into the mouth, the decibel was pitifully small.
Mu Yihan's face turned from white to blue, from blue to purple, and he clenched the handle of the seat tightly so as not to lose his composure in public.Good guy, one by one is really upside down!
Suppressing his anger, he still needs to play enough.At three o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Yihan was supposed to throw down the torch, but unexpectedly he asked Eunuch Li to read out two edicts.
The first is a letter of guilt.
"Follow the sky to carry the goods, the emperor decreed:
Since I was honored as a great treasure, I have done nothing in the world, and it is of no benefit to the world. Now that I am judged, I can't help but weep sadly.In my twenty-seventh life, everything in the past is like a dream, and I still can't achieve anything today. I am really ashamed of myself, the emperor, the ancestors, and the common people. Heaven should not punish the people for my faults. "
The second is a letter of pardon.
"Follow the sky to carry the goods, the emperor decreed:
The national teacher Lan Wu has made great contributions to the country and benefited Li Yuan. I should not take the truth out of context, listen to slander, and frame loyal ministers.Fortunately, I did not make a big mistake, otherwise I will regret it too late.Therefore, the national teacher is now pardoned for his innocence, and rewarded——
A jade ruyi handle, an emerald blue pattern enamel colored porcelain, two red agate waist pendants, two Mabi beads, one hundred acres of fertile land, and one thousand taels of gold, to comfort the heart of the national teacher.
Appreciate this! "
The people in the audience were going to save the national teacher with their lives, but after hearing these two edicts, they were all stunned and couldn't react for a while.
The author has something to say:
The phrases "I can't help but be ashamed of my own heart" and "write a letter of guilt with pain" in the book of guilt come from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's book of guilt, and the others are made up by myself. If there is any overlap, it must be a coincidence.
The dim candles were extinguished, and the smell of fish, sweat, and rotting corpses mixed together, forming a turbid air.Several piles of withered and yellow hay were randomly spread on the ground, and upon closer inspection, many of them were still covered with reddish-brown, coagulated blood.

In return for the push just now, Xiao Yijue gave him some spiritual hints.Although it is not fatal, the nightmares that last for a month are indispensable.
