Chapter 489
After all, the scene where those people were beheaded before was seen by them, and now even the iron-clad men were trembling with fright.

But regardless of whether these people can walk by themselves, even if they are paralyzed by fright, they will be carried by the soldiers around them one by one to the execution ground.

Wave after wave, a famous criminal was taken to the execution ground and then beheaded.

All the dignitaries and officials sitting there watching the beheading looked dull and pale. If they were not supported by the chairs under them, most of them might have collapsed to the ground.

Even Xu Chu, who claimed to have been used to all kinds of storms all his life, looked solemn at this time. After all, such a bloody scene is really not something ordinary people can bear.

Just like Xu Pengju who was following Wei Guogong Xu Yu at this time, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, which showed that he was quite frightened.

From morning to evening, the executioner alone changed several rounds. In the end, because there were too many corpses piled up on the execution ground, Li Huan had to send someone to pack the beheaded corpses. Get on the carriage and pull away continuously.

Otherwise, it is conceivable that tens of thousands of corpses are piled up in one place, and it is afraid that they will pile up into a hill.

Time flies, and I have to say that Li Huan personally supervised and killed so many criminals in front of tens of thousands of people, the deterrent effect is really amazing.

There were not a few people who saw that scene with their own eyes that day. Although many people were scared and retreated halfway, there were still many people who persisted until the end.

The horrible scene at that time naturally became more terrifying after various processing in the mouths of these people.

There are even rumors that Li Huan killed tens of thousands of people in one day, the corpses piled up like mountains, and the blood flowed like rivers.

Needless to say, after this encounter, Li Huan, who was originally famous in the south of the Yangtze River, has really confirmed his reputation for murder this time.

However, the effect was immediately apparent. The officials in various places in the south of the Yangtze River who were somewhat obedient to the imperial court's orders suddenly became extremely respectful and honest.

This is the most appropriate feeling for Li Huan who is in Nanjing City.

Of course, as Li Huan started killing in Nanjing City, the impeachment of Li Huan is naturally indispensable in the capital, even the officials above the court have long been used to Li Huan using the privilege of imperial envoys to beheaded first and then played in the local area , but if it is time to impeach, Baiguan will still impeach Li Huan without hesitation.

Even if they know that Li Huan is deeply trusted by the emperor, their impeachment may not hurt Li Huan, but these people firmly believe that Li Huan is now deeply trusted by the emperor, so whatever they say, the emperor will protect Li Huan .

But if one day Li Huan is feared by the emperor, at that time, their impeachment of Li Huan, one by one, will become the emperor's weapon against Li Huan.

So even if it is not for the present, it is for dealing with Li Huan in the future, they will persist in impeaching Li Huan.

Above the court hall, the court meeting was going on as usual. Needless to say, it was natural to impeach Li Huan as usual before entering the main topic.

Whether it is a hundred officials, even Zhu Houzhao, who is the emperor, is a little used to it. It would be really strange if no one impeached Li Huan at any court meeting.

At this time, Zhu Hou looked at the officials and said, "My dear family, do you have anything to discuss today?"

After the Son of Heaven's voice fell, I saw that among the hundreds of officials, many officials were silent, but among the nobles, headed by the British Duke Zhang Lun and Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu, they saw the British Duke Zhang Lun stepping forward. Step by step, he bowed to the emperor and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Zhu Hou took a look at Zhang Lun and nodded slightly: "Oh, I don't know what's the matter with the British?"

Zhang Lun slowly opened his mouth and said: "Return to Your Majesty, King Ning's rebellion has been decided. Your Majesty asked the ministers to discuss how to award the officers and men who have contributed to the suppression of the rebellion. Now the ministers have come up with a reward plan. Please His Majesty examines."

While speaking, Zhang Lun took out a memorial and presented it.

Qiu Ju, who was serving on the side, hurried forward to take the memorial, and then presented it to the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao opened it with anticipation, and then watched it carefully.

Li Huan is now on his way back to the imperial court, and there are many soldiers who have made meritorious service this time. The imperial court must determine the rewards early, otherwise, once the army returns, if the imperial court's rewards have not been finalized, Both the court and the emperor will inevitably lose the morale of the army.

Looking at the list above, Zhu Hou took care of it with a look of satisfaction on his face, then nodded to Zhang Lun and the others and said: "I have already read this list, and there is nothing wrong with it in general. It will be decided later by the Five Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief's Office and the cabinet together to discuss it."

Wang Yangming, who has now been promoted by the emperor to be the chief minister of the cabinet, stepped forward and nodded respectfully when he heard the words: "Your servant will take orders."

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifth year of Zhengde, the sky was covered with white snow, and there was a vast white scene between the sky and the earth. The huge capital had been covered by heavy snow, and the flow of people on the long street was obviously much thinner.

However, at this moment, a group of people surrounded the emperor Luanjia and headed towards the city gate.

After the majestic emperor Luanjia, there are hundreds of officials in the court. Needless to say, the emperor and all the officials can be greeted. Except for Li Huan who returned to the court as a teacher, I am afraid that no one can have such treatment.

As Li Huan quelled King Ning's rebellion and news came that he had wiped out hundreds of thousands of rebels in just one day, many people in the capital were amazed by Li Huan's brilliant results.

However, following the news that Li Huan beheaded tens of thousands of prisoners in the Nanjing city prison, the perception of Li Huan in the capital was complicated. magic.

But no matter what, there is one thing that does not change because of everyone's opinions, that is, Li Huan has made great achievements this time, and once he returns, he will definitely be promoted to a noble, and his authority will be even greater than before.

You must know that in private, I don’t know when a news began to spread, that is, because of Li Huan’s unworldly achievements this time, the emperor will canonize Li Huan as the Duke of the state, hereditary replacement, and become the most honorable man in Ming Dynasty. One of the nobles.

Li Huan himself was conferred the title of Champion Marquis, and now if he was conferred the title of Duke of the State again, no one would be able to say anything about his military exploits.

So the rumors in the market that Li Huan will be named the Duke of the State intensified, and gradually some people began to guess what Li Huan's title would be.

For example, the Duke of England, the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Cheng, and the Duke of Ding. These Dukes all have their own titles, so what title will Li Huan have.

Snowflakes fell between the sky and the earth, and there were few people on the long street. However, when the emperor Luanjia and the officials passed by, those people who were driven aside by Jin Yiwei in advance were extremely excited to see the emperor Luanjia pass by them. .

Before the city gate, the ground that had been cleaned up gradually became white, while the emperor Zhu Houzhao and all the officials stood in front of the city gate, letting the snowflakes fall.

Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a fur robe, didn't feel any chill, not to mention wearing an extremely warm fur robe, even if he was wearing a single suit. With his innate state, he was not afraid of the cold and heat, and it was impossible for the outside world to affected by the weather.

However, this has caused many officials to suffer. Some unprepared officials have already had a lot of snowflakes falling on their bodies in the cold wind.

Suddenly, in the distance, a dark figure could be vaguely seen slowly approaching in the wind and snow. When it got a little closer, the people in front of the city gate could clearly see that the army was in good order and full of evil spirits. come slowly.

These soldiers walked with an inexplicable power, which made it clear at a glance that this was definitely an elite army of hundreds of battles.

The leader is none other than Li Huan in military uniform.

Li Huan saw the Emperor Luanjia in front of the city gate and the officials who had been waiting for a long time. Even though Li Huan had already received the news, he still couldn't help feeling a little excited and drove forward.

When he got close, Li Huan got off his horse and immediately bowed down to the emperor, saying, "My minister, Li Huan, has fulfilled his mission. He has put down King Ning's rebellion, and he is here to report to His Majesty."

Before Li Huan bowed down, Zhu Houzhao stepped forward to support Li Huan, looked at the weathered Li Huan, patted Li Huan's cold armor with his big hand, and laughed loudly: "I knew Li Qing would not let me down."

At the same time, tens of hundreds of generals also bowed to Zhu Houzhao at this moment and said: "The last general waits to see your majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live!"

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

As tens of hundreds of generals shouted together, the tens of thousands of troops behind them returned to the court. It can be said that the morale of the soldiers who saw the emperor personally welcoming them reached the peak at this moment. Hu Qiqi bowed down to the emperor, Hu Qiqi long live.

All of a sudden, tens of thousands of people shouted long live in unison, and the shouts resounded through the sky, as if the world had been affected, and the originally fluttering snowflakes gradually stopped.

The sound of the Shan Hu Long live exploded like a thunderbolt, and the sound shook for several miles, spreading into the capital. Countless people in the capital clearly heard the deafening Shan Hu Long Live.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on the group of soldiers who bowed down to him, feeling the evil spirit of the mighty warriors rushing towards him, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being complacent, suppressed the joy in his heart, took a step forward, and held his hands high He shouted: "Soldiers and soldiers fought for the country. I thank all the soldiers here. Neither I nor the court will forget the contributions of the soldiers and soldiers. Get up without ceremony!"

It has to be said that Zhu Houzhao's innate cultivation base spoke at this moment, but his voice spread all over the place, and tens of thousands of soldiers could clearly hear the voice of the emperor.

All of a sudden, the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers were boiling, and they shouted long live again.

After waiting for a while for these soldiers to vent their inner excitement, tens of thousands of soldiers went to the camp outside the city under the leadership of their respective generals.

Zhu Houzhao personally took Li Huan to the Luanjia, and dozens of generals who had made great achievements were authorized by the emperor to follow the emperor's Luanjia as the emperor's guards. Surrounded by hundreds of officials, they rushed to the imperial city go.

In the imperial city, in the huge palace, the cold wind outside is blocked, but the inside of the palace is full of spring.

The Son of Heaven is at the top, followed by Li Huan and other meritorious officers and men. Besides Zhang Lun and other dignitaries who can accompany him in this hall, the civil servants are at least high-ranking officials of the third rank or above.

Needless to say, this must be a celebration banquet prepared by the emperor for Li Huan and other soldiers. Naturally, a group of soldiers headed by Li Huan will be the protagonists of this celebration banquet.

Some reckless generals couldn't help but brag after drinking some wine, how they bravely killed the enemy in the battle to put down King Ning's rebellion, took the lead, and how many rebels they killed.

These generals spoke vulgarly and behaved rudely, and many civil servants beside them frowned.

But in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, it was an expression of true temperament. Instead of making Zhu Houzhao feel that these generals were rude, on the contrary, they felt closer.

After drinking for a long time, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites raised his glass to Li Huan and said, "Champion Marquis, I'm toasting you."

Li Huan couldn't help but glance at the other party, faintly feeling the hostility flowing in the other party's eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he sat there as firmly as Mount Tai, casually raised his wine glass and said lightly to the other party: "Sun Shilang, please! "

Sun Wei gulped it down, stared at Li Huan with a changed expression, and said, "Champion Hou is so murderous. I heard that Champion Hou killed tens of thousands of people in Nanjing this time. Champ Hou is not afraid of not being able to close his eyes when he sleeps at night. ?"

It is obvious that Sun Wei deliberately targeted Li Huan because Li Huan killed so many officials, dignitaries, tyrants, and gentry at once. Many people couldn't help but look at Sun Wei with a strange look.

One must know that this is a banquet specially set up by the emperor for Li Huan and others to welcome the wind and wash the dust. It can be said that anyone who is not a fool must know what to say and what not to say at the reception banquet.

It turned out to be a good thing, the original good atmosphere disappeared because of Sun Wei's words, and the emperor, who was originally smiling, stared at Sun Wei with an unfriendly expression.

They looked at Sun Wei one after another, then at Li Huan, and then secretly looked at the emperor secretly.

Some people's eyes showed a look of anticipation, as if they were expecting something.

On the contrary, Li Huan listened to Sun Wei's words, looked at Sun Wei with disdain on the corner of his mouth and said: "Li's subordinates have suffered countless lives, and the number of people who died under Li's knife on the battlefield is even more uncommon. Everyone who kills deserves what he deserves, and everyone has a way of taking death, Li Mou has no regrets in his heart, and there is nothing worse than eyes."

As he said that, Li Huan looked at Sun Wei with a half-smile and said, "From Master Sun's point of view, it seems that he is trying to defend the rebels killed by Mr. Li. Could it be that Master Sun thinks that those people should not be killed?"
