Chapter 258 Punishment(1/2)

The journey of cannoning is said to be a sinister torture invented by King Zhou of Shang and Su Daji. It brushes oil on the copper pillar, then places charcoal fire below the copper pillar, burns the copper pillar to the red color, and then ties the person to the copper pillar to death.

Such punishment is said to be more fearful than being cut into pieces. After the execution, the criminals have absolutely no chance of survival, and they died miserably, almost all of them were spent in screams, so most of the concubines were scared to death.

But Liu Che thought it was very good!

Only harsh punishment can shock the enemy's courage. Anyway, these people are not the people who are doing great things, so Liu Che doesn't have to care about their feelings. If they are not killed today, then anyone dares to come to the capital of the emperor in the future. Where is Liu Che's face? Where is the safety of doing great things?

"Come on, drag them away!" Liu Che ordered without expression: "Take it to the vegetable market and bead it is a punishment for the fire!"

"yes!"

The soldiers of the Feixiong Army roared and dragged Changsun Wuji and others outwards, scaring them all to struggle and wail.

"No, no, damn it, let us go!"

"If you want to kill, kill, you thugs!"

"The tyrant, let us go!"

Changsun Wuji and others struggled desperately, but a woman attracted Liu Che's attention. She was dressed as a man's servant at this time, but she had beautiful eyebrows, fair skin, and very delicate and beautiful facial features.

Who is this person?

Liu Che was extremely surprised. He had seen countless beauties in the world, but the beauty of this woman was extremely special and very rare. Now she is still dressed in men's clothes, deliberately dressed a little ugly, but her appearance is already very beautiful. If she changes into women's clothes, she will probably be fascinating.

Liu Che subconsciously used the system to investigate, and the information of this person suddenly appeared. A name suddenly appeared - Wu Zetian!

"Is it her?" Liu Che was shocked.

Wu Zetian must be known to everyone, and Liu Che naturally wouldn't know that this woman is a legendary figure.

Wu Zetian, nicknamed Wu Zhao, was later named Wu Mei by Emperor Taizong of Tang. Most of the people in later generations called him Wu Meiniang.

She is the only queen in the history of the Tang Dynasty and even in the history of China. She is not only beautiful but also outstanding in the harem of the Tang Dynasty. In the end, she reigned as the queen and became the first queen in the history of China.

Her name is forever recorded in history!

Wu Zetian appeared here, and Liu Che was naturally very shocked...

Wu Zetian's appearance surprised and shocked Liu Che. He never expected to meet this figure of the ages in this situation, and under such a situation, it was really ridiculous.

"stop!"

Liu Che shouted to stop, and the soldiers of the Feixiong Army immediately let go of everyone. Changsun Wuji, Wu Zetian and others were all reborn. They all looked at Liu Che with horror on their faces, with a hint of joy of surviving the disaster, but they didn't know why Liu Che called to stop.

"Master!" Changsun Wuji screamed angrily: "This matter reveals everything, it's my incompetence. Why do you implicate other people? These people are just serfs brought by the ministers. They don't know anything, and killing a group of serfs is useless at all!"

"Shut up!" Liu Che snorted impatiently. He no longer paid attention to Changsun Wuji, but instead stared at Wu Zetian to death.

This woman made him feel solemn.

There is a kind of woman in the world who is born to be a pride of heaven. They can't stop their own light anywhere. Wu Zetian is such a person. From a small palace maid to a queen of a country, she has more than just beauty, but more about wisdom. Liu Che could see a trace of wisdom from her eyes.

She was very shocked at this moment!

Obviously, Wu Zetian also found that Liu Che was looking at her. She was not the lofty queen now, but just a small tutor's palace maid. So she was instinctively uneasy when she was staring at by Liu Che, so she quickly lowered her head in a panic.

"You, raise your head!" Liu Che spoke.

“Yes, yes!”

Wu Zetian agreed in a hurry, and she raised her head nervously, and a delicate and beautiful face was exposed in front of everyone.

"Huh? Is this a woman? How do you wear men's clothes?"

"What a beautiful woman, if she wears women's clothing, we're afraid we'll be jealous!"

"Yes, what a peerless beauty, no wonder the Lord fell in love with her!"

Su Xiaomu Wanqing and others were talking in shock, while the others were also shocked. Changsun Wuji even exclaimed: "Zhao'er? Why are you in the team?"

"Uncle!" Wu Zetian said aggrievedly: "I don't want to send me into the palace, so I ran out in the chaos. You happened to lead the team to Daqian, so I got into your team. You didn't care about the number of followers, so I kept hiding it."

"this?"

Changsun Wuji looked confused, but Liu Che's eyes lit up. Historical records show that Wu Zetian entered the palace at the age of fourteen. Now she has not entered the Tang Palace yet, which means she is only fourteen years old?

A fourteen-year-old little loli is so beautiful and has such an amazing figure. She is really precocious enough, and her thoughts are more independent than ordinary girls, but she is a strange woman.

"What's your name?" Liu Che asked knowingly.

Wu Zetian said carefully: "Master, the little girl Wu Zetian, Xiao Ming Zhao'er, the little girl has not participated in this incident. Can you not burn the little girl too?"

While speaking, Wu Zetian showed a hint of grievance. This hint of grievance made the man feel so distressed that he could hold it in his arms and pity. Even Liu Che couldn't help but sigh that this woman is really a disaster for beauty.

"Do you think I should have baited you?" Liu Che asked with interest.

The interest in his eyes made Wu Zetian very uneasy.

What does he want to do?

Liu Che seemed to be very interested in her, but this interest seemed to be an interest like seeing prey, and seemed to want to train her perfect interest. This made Wu Zetian feel uncontrollable and she subconsciously shrank back.

"Master!" Wu Zetian said pitifully: "We are really innocent. Uncle Changsun Wuji was helpless in implementing the orders given by Emperor Tang. Although it was a bit reckless and extreme, it was just their own masters."

"If the emperor is angry, he should be angry at Emperor Tang and those of us little people, he will lose the demeanor of your great king."

Wu Zetian's words made everyone nod involuntarily.

Her words were originally fallacies. Could it be that Liu Che could not deal with them even if he had to let them go? Is it ridiculous that he had to let them go?

However, the fallacy was so natural when Wu Zetian said it, and everyone couldn't help but agree. Both men and women thought she was right. Such eloquence was really admirable.

"Interesting!" Liu Che grinned.

He is reluctant to kill a legendary figure like Wu Zetian, and it is hard to meet it. It is a pity to just kill it like this.

She is very smart, arrogant, and even has opinions!

She thought Chuchu could save everyone by saying a few good words. It was ridiculous. Liu Che would not let her do what she wanted because Liu Che wanted to train her well and let her use it for her.

If such a woman is not well trained, she will cause a bloody storm in the harem. However, if she is well trained, it can become a great help to Liu Che, and at least it will make him feel accomplished.

So, Liu Che smiled and said, "Wu Zetian, you said it well, I appreciate it very much!"

"Master, are you going to let us go?" Wu Zetian widened his eyes happily.

"No, no!" Liu Che sneered and shook his head: "No one who comes to cause trouble in the imperial capital can leave easily. I just want you to enjoy a good show. The person who comes, sets up a cannon and a badge in front of the Golden Palace. I want to invite all civil and military officials to watch the ceremony."

"yes!"

The Feixiong Army roared together, scaring everyone's faces changed wildly. Oh my God, Liu Che wants to kill people, and he is killing them in front of the Golden Palace, and even let all civil and military officials watch the ceremony?

Although these actions are cruel, they have the effect of intimidating all officials.

Many of the officials were bribed. Although they were bought and won over by Sun Quan and did not make any treason, this behavior must be curbed. In addition, Liu Che wanted to shock Wu Zetian, the little girl, so this execution was very necessary.

With his order, Changsun Wuji and others were dragged to the front of the Golden Palace, and the entire palace was alarmed. For a moment, countless palace people came to watch the show...

On the square in front of the Golden Palace, nine copper pillars were quickly erected. These copper pillars were divided into carved dragons, and there was hollow inside. After being fixed in the square, butter was added and heated.

Crack!

A large number of charcoal fires made crisp sounds, and heat waves swept across the square. The copper pillars were burned red and hot, and they were almost melting. The red copper pillars were filled with heat waves, making people feel scared at the sight.

Liu Che sat firmly on the dragon throne, with civil and military officials on both sides, palace maids, eunuchs and concubines surrounded the neighborhood, and everyone looked nervous and talked.

"Master, do you really want to do this? This is inappropriate. It is easy to leave the world with the impression that the Master is cruel and unkind, and it is not cost-effective!"

"Master, I suggest that you execute these people secretly. At most, you will take revenge on Emperor Tang Li Shimin without having to take on his own image!"

"You are so saying, the priest must not do this!"

Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others tried hard to persuade each other!

They don’t agree with Liu Che’s use of such an extreme method. Changsun Wuji and others can be killed, but they can be killed in secret. If the punishment of burning is used, it will probably make everyone in the world afraid of Liu Che, thinking that he is not a wise king, and thinking that he is a tyrant.

The king of a country naturally needs to pay attention to his image.

All the emperors tried their best to establish the image of a sage, wise, benevolent king. Everyone did not want Liu Che to break up, but everyone's consolation made Liu Che very disdainful.

"My dear friends, don't advise me!" Liu Che sneered and glanced around, and said seriously: "I have never been a wise and righteous monarch. I have always been a cruel monarch. I don't need the love of the people in the world. I only need the love of the people. Do you understand?"

"this?"

Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and others looked helpless, and in the end everyone fell silent. In fact, what Liu Che said was right.

Everyone has too many concerns!

No matter how the people in the world think, Liu Che doesn't care. He only cares about the safety of the big-minded work and the feelings of the people who do it. This punishment is a must-do from all aspects.

"My good guys!" Liu Che said coldly: "This post-establishment storm was created by the spies of the Tang Empire. Sun Quan acted as a thug when he was deceived. Many of the ministers in the court were bribed by Sun Quan. I will not deal with the ministers in the court for the time being. If someone comes, break Sun Quan's legs!"

"yes!"

The Feixiong soldiers roared, and two people pulled Sun Quan out, and the next moment they pressed him to the ground to prepare for execution.

Sun Quan refused to resist!

Not only was he not afraid, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least Liu Che did not intend to kill him, so what if his legs were broken, at least he saved his life. So he not only did not resent, but instead shouted with ecstasy: "Thank you, Master, I deserve to die for the crime, and I deserve to break my legs. Thank you Master!"

"elder brother!"

Sun Shangxiang exclaimed involuntarily. She subconsciously wanted to step forward, but in the end she ended up holding on because she knew that Liu Che's order could not be stopped. If she dared to say something more, Sun Quan would not be as simple as breaking his legs.
To be continued...
