Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 561 Fan Wencheng was taken to the execution ground
Fan Wencheng imagined many scenes.

He fantasized that he could successfully kill Dorgon, and was heavily relied on by Shunzhi.

I fantasized that I was listed as the founding father of the Qing Dynasty, and I wrote a separate biography.

I imagined that I would become a family of the Qing Dynasty, with hereditary titles and continuous prosperity and wealth.

Of course, he also thought that one day he would be defeated by his political opponents, demoted, dismissed or even exiled.

But he never thought that he would go to the execution ground, and it was Daming's execution ground. He was executed not because he was defeated by his political opponents, but because he was a traitor who betrayed his country.

There is no one in the whole world who sympathizes with himself.

At this moment, everyone looked at him with disgust, and their faces were filled with joy at the realization of the belief in "karma". .

Fan Wencheng wanted to cry, he didn't know how to face such a situation, a failed self.

Fan Wencheng looked at Yuan Jixian who was sitting high on the execution ground.

He originally thought that after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the literati in the pass would flock to him and respect him.

But he didn't expect that now he would become the most reprimanded object of these literati.

Fan Wencheng was brought up.

At the same time, there were 130 eight members of his family on the stage, and they all knelt in front of the stage.

Fan Wencheng also saw them, and couldn't help crying.

Fan Wencheng knew that he had voted for the Qing Dynasty and had been identified as the first traitor who betrayed the country. His family would certainly not be able to escape the crime of extermination. The extermination of the nine clans and the confiscation of family property were all consequences he had to bear.

But Fan Wencheng still cried, and couldn't help shouting: "I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't be greedy for fame, I shouldn't hurt you, no, I shouldn't say that, I should kill you first, kill you first!" Without you, I will kill myself again!"

"Master, I don't want to die yet, I don't want to die!"

"My lord, please intercede for them, okay? Just give in and kowtow. Didn't you say that whether it is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty or the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they all want to save face? If you are willing to give them face, don't you worry about not being rich and famous, so you can give him face, so I don't have to die!"

Seeing his sons pleading here, Fan Wencheng felt very heartbroken and helpless, because he never thought that the current Emperor of Ming was not as fond of playing imperial power as he imagined.

As a result, he is criticized every now and then, by literati, by military officials, and even by ordinary people, asking him to admit his crimes.

In fact, Fan Wencheng had already collapsed, and he also wanted to subdue Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty, but Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty refused to accept this and still wanted to obey the public opinion and punish himself severely.

So now when his sons cry, he can only shake his head helplessly.

At this time, Yuan Jixian slapped the gavel: "Fan Wencheng, you have admitted your crimes before, and now you have one last chance to defend yourself. You can choose to defend yourself. After a quarter of an hour, the judge will announce your conviction." Execution order!"

Yuan Jixian is a person who enforces the law very strictly. He has very high requirements on personal style and conduct, even including himself. After all, he was a chaste minister in the original history. famous saying.

This is why Zhu Youjian asked Yuan Jixian to execute these Manchu criminals in Beijing.

thus.

Yuan Jixian, who is jealous of evil, looks down on people like Fan Wencheng the most.

In his opinion, it was the fault of Fan Wencheng and other literati who suffered such catastrophe. It even ruined his reputation of Confucianism, making His Majesty the current emperor of Ming Dynasty no longer believe in Confucianism.

Yuan Jixian felt that all this was caused by unscrupulous literati like Fan Wencheng, so he wanted to punish Fan Wencheng severely!

However, no matter how much Yuan Jixian hated Fan Wencheng, he still asked Fan Wencheng in accordance with the basic procedures.

"The traitor Fan Wencheng pleaded guilty, the traitor Fan Wencheng committed a heinous crime!"

As Fan Wencheng said, he also imitated the anger of the people when he was interrogated before and yelled: "Fan Wencheng is a traitor of the Han Dynasty, the number one traitor of the Han Dynasty. He is as shameless as a Qin traitor, and better than Xining if he is innocent!"

Fan Wencheng yelled loudly, his eyes weeping as he yelled.

But now Fan Wencheng also knows that he must plead guilty and cannot make any sophistry, because then he will be put in front of thousands of people to receive scolding again.

It was an experience that would make life worse than death, and Fan Wencheng didn't want to bear it anymore.

Seeing what Fan Wencheng said, Yuan Jixian smiled and said, "If that's the case, let's start the execution and first pull out Fan Wencheng's direct relatives!"

"Yes!"

Fan Wencheng didn't expect Yuan Jixian to execute his own family first.

"My lord, why are you so vicious? Why didn't you execute Fan first and then execute them! You and I are both disciples of Confucius and Mencius, students of Confucianism, why do scholars have to make things difficult for scholars! Now you let me personally watch the execution of my family members, Didn't you mean to make my heart hurt!"

Fan Wencheng knew that his family would not escape the crime of extermination, but he didn't want to see his family die before his own death, so he questioned him.

Yuan Jixian sneered: "You and I are not the same kind of people. You are a traitor and I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. People like you should accept the pain of life and death, and you should be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and scolded by future generations! This official should let you experience the pain of losing your loved ones, you must know that many ordinary people lost their families and died because of you, Fan Wencheng, who assisted the Tartars in their struggle for hegemony!"

"Of course, don't think it's that simple. I have already written a biography of Fan Wencheng, a big traitor for you, and engraved the sins of your life on the inscription inside Yongding Gate, so as to record you traitors. The sins of the future, every person who comes to Beijing will know the names of you traitors and what you have done!"

"Not only that, but your white iron kneeling statue has already been cast, and it is three times larger than Qin's white iron statue. It is placed outside Zhengyang Gate. Everyone who enters the inner city will see your kneeling statue. You Just kneel down to me from generation to generation, and of course you still have a companion, Ning Wan me."

After Yuan Jixian said it, Fan Wencheng was completely bewildered as if Jiao Lei had risen from the sky.

Fan Wencheng looked at Yuan Jixian with a mournful face.

He already felt that it was a terrible thing to be criticized and criticized.

But Fan Wencheng did not expect that Daming would permanently engrave the fact that he was a big traitor into the minds of future generations.

He never thought that Daming would be so vicious when he retaliated against himself and his thieves, not only would he kill himself and his family, but he would also ruin himself forever!
Even the kneeling statue is three times bigger than Qin Hui's, does it mean that his sin is also three times bigger than Qin Hui's?
"Could it not be like this, my lord, the traitor Fan Wencheng knows that he has committed a serious crime, but he has already begun to repent, but please forgive me, this lord and His Majesty the Emperor!"

When Fan Wencheng regretted it unceasingly, the Guards Executive Gendarmerie had already begun to assassinate Fan Wencheng's first family members to death.

Pfft!

Fan Wencheng was stunned when he saw his son being executed, and forgot to beg Yuan Jixian not to spoil himself so much, so he burst into tears:

"Son, I'm sorry for my father! If I had known the consequences of today, my father should not have voted for some Jianzhou people!"
