Chapter 263

Chapter 263

"Anoint the copper pillar, and add charcoal to it, so that the guilty will walk and fall into the charcoal. Daji laughed, and it is called the punishment of cannon fire."

This is recorded in the "Biography of Lie Nu" in later generations, but now Daji has been replaced by Concubine Yu.

The punishment of cannon fire has also changed slightly, but what remains unchanged is the degree of cruelty of this criminal law.

All the ministers who went to stop King Zhou that day were all scorched to death on the fiery red copper pillars. The death conditions were extremely tragic.

And the screams of the ministers before their death were unheard of, and the whole court could hear the screams from the palace.

The next day, King Zhou announced to the world that these ministers trespassed in the harem, relied on their own qualifications, and contradicted the emperor and his beloved concubine, so they were tortured to death.

Then there was a notice, introducing the punishment of cannon fire separately.

When all the people saw the notice, they all gasped, thinking back to the screams that came from the palace yesterday, they were all terrified.

And those who paid attention to the government found that all the dead were loyal officials of the Shang Dynasty, so they knew that there must be something hidden in it, and cursed: "You son of a bitch King Zhou!"

There were palace guards sent by King Zhou, who dressed as civilians and mixed in the crowd.

At this time, he heard someone insulting King Zhou, so he immediately shot and took him down.

The scene was full of exclamation and chaos, everyone dispersed, and many people were trampled and injured.

Such scenes happened simultaneously in various places where Chaoge posted announcements.

On this day, King Zhou and Concubine Yu saw a group of people who had been arrested, and laughed loudly: "It's Concubine Yu's plan, if you didn't say that you sent people to hide in the crowd, we wouldn't be able to find these people who have been arrested." A person who intends to rebel."

rebel? !
"Woooo-"

The person below, whose hands and feet were bound, was struggling, biting the cloth bag in his mouth, and his eyes were bulging.

Concubine Yu and King Zhou pretended not to see it at all.

Concubine Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you will make fun of the concubines, the concubines are just playful and want to see them climb the copper pillars."

King Zhou nodded with a smile when he heard the words: "Okay, I don't think it's enough. However, let me enjoy the magnificent scene of cannon fire!"

As soon as this remark came out, the "sinners" who were almost suffering from innocent disasters below were terrified.

"Yes, let them understand what the punishment of cannon fire is. From now on, no fool will dare to disobey His Majesty!"

……

The next day, in the open space in the middle of Chaoge City, a copper pillar smeared with ointment was erected, with red burning coals underneath. column……

The punishment of cannon fire that was announced just now was shown in the most direct form in front of everyone, causing countless troubles and panic among the common people.

In the next half month, no one dared to stop the "game" between King Zhou and the concubines.

In the eyes of the two, such cruel and tyrannical acts such as dissection to distinguish between men and women and the method of roasting them are just games.

For a moment, everyone in Chaoge City was in danger and mourned.

A few days ago, pregnant women whose pregnancy was not obvious were able to escape from Chaoge overnight.

Up to now, there are imperial doctors at the city gates on all sides, and every woman who wants to leave Chaoge has to be checked for pulse.

All pregnant women can only ask for blessings.

The once bustling bazaar is now empty and desolate as far as the eye can see.

People seldom go out except for necessary going out, so as not to be caught and burned for saying the wrong thing.

For a while, the human race Chaoge was in the sky, and there was a strong resentment rising, and there was a faint cry of a baby at night.

As for the few loyal ministers left in the Shang Dynasty, most of them died at one time, all of them were tortured to death by cannon fire.

Surrounded by the resentment, the Luck Golden Dragon entrenched above Chaoge became even more dim. The dragon's eyes, which were originally wide open in anger, were now half-closed, with a depressed and depressed appearance.

The Universiade of the Shang Dynasty has gradually entered an irreversible situation.

……

Over the prehistoric sky, a golden dragon flew by.

I saw the golden dragon constantly soaring up and down, as if trying to fly out of the cover of something.

"call--"

When it finally rushed out of that area and its eyes became clear again, it let out a long breath.

"Why is there so much resentment here?"

You know, Ao Lie is already a quasi-sage, and just resentment is not enough to restrict Ao Lie's vision.

Zhen Yuanzi frowned, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all, and he quickly deduced.

After a while, Zhen Yuanzi was already shocked, his eyes fixed on the hexagram in front of him.

In the hexagrams, the luck of the Shang Dynasty is declining, the golden dragon of luck is dimly whining continuously, and Chaoge's resentment is growing.

And as the supreme existence of the Shang Dynasty of the human race, King Shang Zhou was the root cause of the breeding of resentment.

In the picture, King Zhou of Shang and a group of demon concubines are laughing, and in front of them are several women who have had their stomachs cut open, terrified, and lost too much blood to death.

Their flesh and blood are beside them, and they are all red. Some of them can barely see the shape of the fetus, and the umbilical cord of some fetuses is still connected to the placenta in the mother's belly.

Daji and Jingwei on the side saw such a scene, their eyes were full of shock, their colors turned pale, and then they covered their mouths and retched directly at the side.

Ao Lie also turned into a human form at this time. After seeing it, although he was a little better, he still frowned, and his arms trembled unconsciously because he clenched his fists too hard.

"It's just... brutal!"

Zhen Yuanzi scolded angrily.

Rao is his soul from later generations. He has seen countless tortures and severe punishments in ancient books and scrolls, but they are only written descriptions after all.

At this moment, the living scene was in front of him, and while he felt disgusted, he was even more angry.

The picture flashed, and there was a copper pillar covered with anointing oil, and a commoner climbed desperately on it, but because of the anointing oil, he could only watch himself slipping down.

The person on the copper pillar was turning his head to look at the red charcoal fire below, his protruding eyes were full of horror and despair.

Among the people below, most of them turned their heads away, unable to bear to look any further; some of them gritted their teeth and stared at the stage, with anger rising in their eyes.

Under the pergola on the high platform, it was King Zhou of Shang and a group of demon concubines. They hugged the beauty with their right hand in their top coats, and pointed to the person on the copper pillar with their left hand, laughing loudly.

The demon concubines also covered their mouths and smiled coquettishly, looking at the man on the copper pillar as if looking at a plaything.

Looking further into the distance, it was the Chaoge Forbidden Army wearing tough clothes, surrounding the way of a group of people, forcing them to watch this "farce".

Daji Jingwei had already closed his eyes, unable to bear to look any further, Ao Lie also turned his head away.

"I created the human race and made it prosperous again, not for you to persecute these innocent people for fun!"

Zhen Yuanzi was furious immediately, and he made a tactic with both hands. Under his anger, even the fate of heaven was affected by it. Although it was biased for a moment, it was shocking enough.

That biased fortune, the person who is right, is Wen Taishi, Wen Zhong of the Shang Dynasty!
