King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

execution ground.

The crowd was full of people.

The people in the audience were talking and cursing, staring fiercely at the officials in prison uniforms.

After the prisoners were identified one by one, they were all taken to the execution ground.

At the same time, the soldiers carried the guillotine that had been prepared for the prisoners and walked to the execution ground from the other side.

I saw a guillotine with a cold and murderous look appear in front of me.

Many of the once high-ranking Xijiang officials, who were dressed in prison uniforms, and the merchants who were connected with them, were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground. Some were even so frightened that they lost control of their bowels and bladder.

"No. No"

"I'm wrong."

"Spare your life, spare your life"

"I don't dare anymore."

"Please beg the prince for mercy, please beg for mercy!"

"We really don't dare to do it anymore. We were forced to do it. They forced us to do it."

While they were talking, many officials and businessmen started to bite each other, blasting each other's bombs, acting as if they were victims.

but
For these prisoners who beg for mercy, fight among themselves, and fight each other.

The soldiers and Jinyiwei who were in charge of the guard were too lazy to even look at them.

He turned his head away with extreme disgust, ignoring the prisoners' requests for help and pleas, as if he were deaf, and did not pay any attention to them at all.

Seeing that no one paid attention to me and I didn't get any response, I felt like a clown.

The prisoners waiting for execution were yelling like crazy. Some asked for help from the soldiers or Jinyiwei beside them, while others yelled at the location where Zhu Gaoxu and others were.

See this situation.

The soldiers and Jinyiwei, who were too lazy to pay attention to the prisoners, kicked the restless prisoners fiercely and shouted:
"Bastard thing."

"You are about to die, but you still refuse to be honest."

"Everyone, be honest and don't make yourself uncomfortable."

"Don't force me to wait and suffer more physical pain before the execution."

While talking.

A group of soldiers and Jinyiwei used their hands and feet to severely beat up the restless prisoners in an attempt to make them behave themselves.

Faced with fists and feet.

Many prisoners no longer dared to make noise and fell silent.

Of course it’s not that they don’t want to make trouble, but that they dare not.

After all, we saw many Ming soldiers and Jinyiwei with their swords drawn when they were noisy and restless, as if they were ready to take action if they had a disagreement.

"What a jerk."

Seeing the prisoners being obedient and quiet, the officers and soldiers and the Jinyiwei couldn't help but look at each other and then complained.

"Prince Han has arrived!!"

Just then.

A solemn voice sounded.

Everyone in the field couldn't help but become solemn. The originally noisy and bustling execution ground suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to say a word. In an instant, the sound of a needle falling could be heard. The atmosphere on the scene was eerily quiet, and everyone's eyes unconsciously looked towards the location where the sound came from.

"Greetings to Lord Han!"

The people in the audience and the soldiers on guard around the execution ground, who had come to their senses, knelt down and saluted.

then.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was at the back, dismounted and tidied his slightly messy robe. He clasped his hands behind his waist and walked slowly and powerfully from behind, step by step, onto the execution platform.

He half-closed his eyes, looked around at the people who were saluting, and waved at them.

"Han Wang ordered, no need to be polite."

Seeing this, Ji Gang, who was following beside him, instantly understood what he meant and spoke quickly.

Hear the words.

The soldiers and civilians who were paying their respects stood up.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Zhu Gaoxu standing on the high platform.

When it comes into view, the solemn dragon robe looks majestic and sacred.

The soldiers in the audience were fine.

The common people instantly became trembling with fear, as if frightened by the dragon robe, and they all took several steps back unconsciously.

Taking everything in sight, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but smile at the people's reactions.

After a brief pause, Zhu Gaoxu simply sorted out his thoughts, his expression suddenly became extremely serious and solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"The people of Ming Dynasty."

"I am Zhu Gaoxu, the Han King of the Ming Dynasty."

"The second son of His Majesty today."

"He is also the organizer of this case."

"From the beginning to the end, the imperial court has always required Ming officials to perform their duties conscientiously, work hard to govern the country and seek benefits for the people, so that the people of the world can live a stable, prosperous and not hungry life."

"but."

"The court's demands and supervision are one thing, and the execution of officials far away from the center is another."

"The superiors do not follow their lead, and the subordinates pretend to obey but actually disobey."

"I have failed to do what the court wants and requires, which is contrary to the court's ideals."

"As a result, your lives have not only not improved effectively in recent years, but have become worse, which is simply making the situation worse."

"Every incident is so horrifying and terrifying."

"And the ones who caused all this, and the ones who led all this, are these people on the stage wearing prison uniforms and who have become prisoners."

"I am your father and mother official, receiving a salary from the court and enjoying the support of various taxes paid by the people."

"But they are still not satisfied, and their greed is simply extreme. They always want to seize the people's money and compete with the people for profits. They stage a shameful and disgusting drama of collusion between officials and businessmen to drive up the prices of various commodities."

"Trying to squeeze out all the value from you in order to satisfy their own selfish desires."

As the crimes of the prisoners were described one by one, that gentle and friendly voice lingered in the ears of the people who had just retreated subconsciously.

Feeling the sincerity from Zhu Gaoxu.

Those people who had subconsciously moved away slowly gathered from afar and listened attentively.

Seeing the people approaching, Zhu Gaoxu smiled, nodded to the people below the stage, and continued with a loud shout:

"This king doesn't waste words either."

"Those who do evil will be severely punished."

"And the grievances, oppression, exploitation, resentment, and anger you have endured over the years."

"Today, I will use their heads and their lives to vent the anger you have been holding in your hearts towards Nian."

"Use their heads and lives to give you, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty, an explanation."

"At the same time, it also serves as a warning to those who dare to pretend to obey but actually disobey, who do not follow the orders of their superiors, who are greedy by nature, and who secretly like to collude with officials and businessmen."

"Let them know what the consequences will be if they dare to do so."

"It also makes them dare not act so recklessly again."

After hearing this.

The emotions in the hearts of the originally quiet crowd seemed to be instantly ignited by Zhu Gaoxu's words, and then burst into deafening shouts and yells at Zhu Gaoxu.

"it is good!!"

"Well done, Lord Han!"

"That's how it should be. These bastards, dog officials, and sons of bitches should be given a good taste of what's going on and their arrogance should be killed!!!" One has to admit it.

Throughout the ages, throughout the dynasties.

The people have surprisingly consistent feelings toward corrupt officials and those who oppress them.

Killing corrupt officials is definitely what makes them most excited and what they are most willing to see.

But if you think about it, you can understand it.

The people suffered and lived in poverty.

It is human nature to resent those who oppress you.

After all, this is the reaction a normal person should have.

He saw a crowd of people cheering, singing and praising him.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled without comment and waved his hand towards the people who were shouting excitedly.

In an instant.

The originally restless people around the execution ground suddenly became silent.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the executioners who were ready to execute him, waved at them, and shouted solemnly, "
"kill!"

The order was given.

puff!
A mouthful of strong liquor was sprayed onto the cold and eerie blade of the guillotine.

puff!
Then, another mouthful of strong liquor was sprayed on the back of the necks of corrupt officials, merchants and other prisoners who were about to be executed.

The executioner reached out and gently wiped the edge of the guillotine, then rubbed the snow-white necks of the executed people, which were covered with goose bumps, and made a few simple gestures, as if looking for a suitable position.

The prisoners who were sent to the guillotine had their hands and feet tied, and their mouths blocked because of the yelling they had just done. Feeling the biting coldness on their necks, they tried to twist their bodies frantically to break free.

However, he was pinned down by the soldiers on both sides, fixed in place and unable to move at all.

The prisoners who had worked in vain were like pigs waiting to be slaughtered. They could do nothing but shed tears and sob silently for the fate that was about to happen to them.

"Execution!"

"kill!"

See everything is ready.

Zhu Gaoxu shouted again and gave orders.

Click!

Following the order.

The tiger-head guillotine was raised high and brought down on the necks of the prisoners to be executed.

Everyone's sight was filled with bright red blood splattering everywhere, as well as the man's hands that had been detached, the head without support, the eyes wide open in death, and the body that had fallen limply on the stage, spurting blood continuously.

boom.
As a group of prisoners were executed.

Heads fell one after another with a "click" sound. Many heads bounced twice on the platform, then suddenly rolled down and landed near the people in front of the execution platform.

Those eyes that died with no closing.

Suddenly, the people around were so frightened that they subconsciously took several steps back, making frightened sounds. They did not dare to look at the head with its eyes still open, and kept a sufficient distance from it.

Just then.

A young boy with ragged clothes, pale and thin complexion, and stains all over his face, who looked like a beggar, squeezed out from the crowd of people who were retreating in fear. His young face was filled with extreme hatred and ferocity.

"You bastard, you deserve this day!"

"He deserves to die!"

"God has eyes, God has eyes!"

"Fuck your mother!"

While cursing loudly, he raised his shoe horns, which were covered with thick stains and with the soles of his feet sticking out, and kicked them hard at the head of an official who had fallen to the ground. He kicked the head several meters away like a ball.

Some people set a precedent, and some people took action.

Afterwards, in a flash, the people who had originally retreated in fear suddenly swarmed over, looking for the heads of the officials or merchants who had oppressed them, walking with big feet.

"Fuck your mother!"

"Deserve it!"

"You've got this day too"

Just like this, you kick me and I kick, the scene is extremely lively.

The resentment and emotions in the hearts of the people were also aroused, and the fear brought by the execution was gradually alleviated and even forgotten by the anger and depression in their hearts.

This is the situation.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing on the high platform, had a full view of the situation. He couldn't help but smile, nodded with satisfaction, waved to the soldiers beside him, and said in a deep voice:
"continue."

"Bring the second batch!"

then.

Another group of corrupt officials, businessmen and their families were dragged up to meet their next fate.

at this time.

The people, whose emotions were aroused, came forward one by one from afar. They were immune to the execution and the bloody scene before their eyes. They did not have the slightest panic or fear. They were like a different person, with excitement and passion in their eyes.

"kill!"

"Execution!"

Another order was given, and in an instant, heads flew everywhere.

Human heads fell to the ground in an instant.

However, for some unknown reason, unlike the previous situation, although many heads fell to the stage during this execution, they were much less than before, with only a few symbolic heads.

As a result, the people who were originally very excited couldn't help but look a little regretful when they saw this scene, and their disappointment was revealed in their words.

See this situation.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and nodded to Ji Gang beside him.

Ji Gang also understood the meaning instantly.

Then he waved to the soldiers carrying out the execution.

In an instant.

Those heads that did not fall off the execution platform were kicked off the platform by the soldiers and officers, and rolled down in front of the people.

The people, who were originally uninterested and full of regret and disappointment, suddenly became excited. Without any hesitation, they rushed forward, looking for their enemies and began the revenge they had long dreamed of.

That's it.

Batches of prisoners were taken to the scaffold for execution.

People were killed in batches.

It took dozens of batches of killing before all the prisoners to be executed were killed.

Wait until the supervision is over.

Zhu Gaoxu's mission was successfully completed and he was about to turn around and walk towards another location on the execution platform.

But just as he took a step, there was suddenly a burst of restless sounds behind him, and the sound of orderly knocking, as if it had been rehearsed, reached his ears.

"Common people."

"Thank you, Prince Han, for your favor!"

"Thank you, King Han, for your help"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu paused for a moment and was stunned. He subconsciously turned around and looked at the people who had knelt on the ground to thank him. His pupils shrank and he fell into a brief silence.

After a moment, he came back to his senses as if he had figured something out. A smile appeared on his face and he waved to the people in the audience.

Then, he looked towards a loft with half-opened windows on the second floor not far away, and a hint of intriguing sneer appeared at the corners of his slightly raised mouth. (End of this chapter)
