Before the scroll was opened again, Liu Jin had been sentenced to Ling Chi and had just stepped out of the prison van and was heading towards the execution ground.
At the end of the alley formed by the crowd of onlookers, on the high execution platform, Zhang Yong, who had already put down the rebellion of Prince Anhua, was leisurely drinking tea while staring coldly at Liu Jin.

After returning to Beijing, he immediately presented the 17 charges against Liu Jin, but unfortunately it seemed he was a step too late, as the Emperor had already confiscated Liu Jin's property and put him in jail a few days earlier.
The seventeen charges he compiled only further convicted Liu Jin of the crime according to the law, and he was still sentenced to death by slicing, and Zhang Yong was personally in charge of the execution.

Staring at the man on the execution platform, Liu Jin's eyes were still full of madness and unwillingness: "I don't accept it. That demon scroll appeared inexplicably and I was convicted for it. I don't accept it!"
With a "pop" sound, a rotten egg flew out from nowhere and hit Liu Jin's forehead. The egg exploded on his forehead, and a big bump suddenly appeared on his forehead.
The yellow, white and red colors crisscrossed his wrinkled face, which made him look very funny.

This was just the beginning. Soon, stones, rotten vegetable leaves and other things were thrown at him. As the crowd became more and more excited, the circle of people became smaller and smaller. Some people even tore Liu Jin's prison uniform.
They looked like Shuras who wanted to eat him alive. Even Liu Jin, who was nine thousand years old, couldn't help but feel scared.

In fear, he shouted to boost his courage: "What are you doing? What do you want to do? I am the Ninth Thousand Years Old. His Majesty will not kill me like this. He will definitely pardon me, and then I will make you all live a life worse than death."

But his voice was soon drowned out by the surging crowd. After hearing his shouting, the people even hated him even more and hit him even harder. There were deep scratches on his face and head, and his hair was messed up, making him look even more miserable.
In the end, Zhang Yong was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to cause trouble, so he asked the factory guards to pull the people away. This prevented Liu Jin from being beaten to death by the people before his execution.

After being fixed on the execution platform, Liu Jin's previous arrogance had lost nine points. With disheveled hair, he looked at Zhang Yong with a sinister look on his face: "Zhang Yong, you wait, wait until we get back home..."
"Liu Jin, don't you understand yet? You can't go back." Giving him a hateful look, Zhang Yong shouted, "The time has come, execute me!"

At this moment, as if in touch with him, following his command, the Heavenly Scroll slowly opened in the sky.

[In the last episode, we talked about the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao. He did nothing but get rid of corrupt officials, straightened out the ministers, quelled the border troubles, and put down the rebellion.]
[He is simply God's favorite, with extraordinary luck. 】

【But is this true? 】
[Now let's start a new episode of review. "The Top Ten Young Emperors, the Most Dangerous One - Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty (Part 2)" ]

"what--"
As Lei Xiaomeng's voice echoed in the sky, Liu Jin screamed like a pig being slaughtered on the execution ground.

At this time in the Ming Imperial Palace, Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to hold a grand court meeting for the first time and called all the existing cabinet elders, headed by Li Dongyang and Jiao Fang.
However, each of the ministers had his own thoughts. Li Dongyang looked calm, but Jiao Fang seemed uneasy.

Looking at the people below, Zhengde slowly said, "Have you asked someone to invite the two gentlemen, Liu Jian and Xie Qian?"
"Your Majesty, you gave the order a few days ago and they left. However, these two gentlemen have already retired and returned to their hometowns. The journey is long and it will take more than a few days for them to return. The rest of the people who are close and live in the capital have basically all come."

"Very good." Zhengde nodded.
"Ahem, I asked you all to come here this time because I have something to tell you. Liu Jin has been sentenced to Ling Chi by me, and he is being tortured in the market right now. If you have suffered any grievances over the years, you can go to Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong, and I will find a way to compensate you..." Zhu Houzhao was not used to talking to the ministers in such a serious manner, so he looked distorted and impatient after just a few words. In the end, he simply stopped pretending and said with a pout:
"But I am older now, and I will be twenty soon. In the future, please don't give me orders all the time. I don't like it, don't you hear? If I don't like it, I will be unhappy, and if I am unhappy, I don't want to stay in the palace. Then don't say that I always run away."

The ministers were used to seeing their Majesty reveal his true nature in just three sentences. But today was a good day after all. Liu Jin was punished, and he would not torture the ministers again in the future. So they just endured it for the time being.
However, they were still somewhat nervous at this time, not knowing how to interpret the last few sentences of the heavenly scroll.

Did the emperor lose his temper and deliberately indulge Liu Jin to torment them? Or was it that the emperor was just a child and was deceived by Liu Jin, and finally got Liu Jin because of good luck?

The ministers were feeling anxious, but they heard Zhengde clear his throat and said, "I asked the elders to come here this time, in addition to explaining the matter of Liu Jin, there is another matter that I need to discuss with you."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Li Dongyang, the current head of the cabinet, asked immediately.

"I just want to know how iron birds fly in the sky and how trains run on the ground.
Also, how can one travel a thousand miles a day, drink bean juice in the capital in the morning, eat Shuiweicheng in Luoyang at noon, and roast a whole lamb on the grassland in the evening. "
Speaking of roasted whole lamb, Zhengde's saliva almost flowed out.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's hard work turned out to be for the most unreliable words in the Heavenly Scroll. An old minister was so angry that his beard trembled: "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Scroll is full of lies and misleading people. How can there be such a thing in this world?
Instead of worrying about this, you should be more concerned about how to arrange the follow-up affairs of the rebellion of King Anhua and how to reward and punish him. "

"No?" Zhengde snorted, "But the old lady in the scroll said so solemnly that I should give it more consideration."
"How can we believe the words in the Heavenly Scroll?" another minister said angrily.
"You can't believe it?" Zhengde chuckled. "Well, then I'll ask someone to bring Liu Jin back. Tianjuan said he died three days ago. It's just the beginning now. If we bring him back and heal his wounds, he can help me do something."

As soon as Zhengde said this, all the ministers were speechless.
Bringing Liu Jin back would mean their lives would be in vain. However, he really dared to do that if he angered his emperor. For a moment, no one dared to speak.
At this moment, Jiao Fang suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, I think this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of Works. Maybe they can come up with some ideas."

"Yes, yes, this is the attitude to solve the problem!" Zhengde immediately praised after hearing it.
Li Dongyang glanced at Jiao Fang beside him, quietly pinched the memorial hidden in his sleeve, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Wang Feng came quickly from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Scroll has appeared again."
Zhengde was invigorated after hearing this, and immediately said, "Quick, follow me out to take a look!"
