Your Highness

Chapter 148 Reciprocity (1)
"If the emperor thinks that the punishment proposed by the minister is too much, then he can use the method of the seventh emperor brother, but if this is the case, I don't know if the courtiers who secretly communicated with the enemy can be deterred. !" She has never been a kind person, but she has never killed innocent people indiscriminately. Since gentle means can no longer protect her relatives, she can only use cruel means.

Zhao Zhengde's eyes flickered, and after looking at his ninth son seriously for a long while, he suddenly nodded and said, "Then follow what Yu'er said!"

After all this was over, when he came out of the imperial study, Xuan Yu suddenly turned his head and said to Zhao Xuanqing who walked out of the imperial study at the same time as him: "His Royal Highness, the potted concubine sent by mother and empress to Fanghua Palace a few days ago I like it very much, and I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will tell the queen mother that Xuan Yu has thanked the queen mother on behalf of the mother concubine!"

"She really said that?" The queen put down the teacup in her hand, looked at her son quietly, and muttered softly, "Could it be that she really saw something, it's impossible!"

"Yes, Queen Mother, is there any problem?" Zhao Xuanqing asked tentatively, looking at the cold light in the Queen's slightly narrowed eyes.

"Of course!" Just after finishing speaking, he suddenly said to his son: "By the way, why didn't you follow what I taught you when you were in the Shang study this morning? Don't even think about it. What did your Fifth Emperor brother do? What crime, what kind of brotherhood do you still think about? At this time, in the eyes of every emperor, as long as there is a threat to the country under his control in this world, he would rather kill the wrong person than let it go, you remember Why was Lao Jiu shot an arrow by your father?"

Hearing the queen's admonition started again, Zhao Xuanqing felt agitated in his heart, he was no longer a child, why did his mother and concubine teach him everything, besides, he was the crown prince and heir of a country, unless necessary his father's emperor It will not be easy to abolish the sons and establish the concubines.

Of course, even if his father wants to abolish him, all the officials in the court will not agree. After all, changing the crown prince is of great importance, which means that his position cannot be easily shaken.

As for Lao Jiu, although the father shot her with an arrow, didn't he treat her so well later on? It was compensation for making all of them jealous.

"However, you must always remember why the Ninth Prince was favored in the end but the Fifth Prince was not, because their natures are different. Although the Ninth Prince has a good relationship with the remnant of the previous dynasty, he himself did not participate in the threat. Go to your father's country, but the fifth prince himself colluded with outsiders when your father was still partial to him, so he must be executed!" The queen took a deep breath, looked at the standing The son who was obviously absent-minded in front of her sighed helplessly. She thought that if her son became the emperor and if she lived longer, then it would be better. If she died early, then she Can this son shock those courtiers with wolfish ambitions in the court?
Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but support her forehead. She had to think, to think carefully, how to make her son sit firmly on the throne of emperor.

"So, can you remember?"

"After returning to the mother, I will write it down!" Zhao Xuanqing bowed in response, then raised his head and said to the queen: "By the way, the mother, after the son came out of the Shang study, he asked someone to go to Yuhua Palace to inquire about it. It is said that the palace maid whose mother concubine was poisoned and prepared to be executed secretly was rescued by Lao Jiu, and it is said that she confessed to you, mother concubine, in the palace at that time!"

Hearing this, the Queen's face suddenly showed an expression of hatred, "Even if she confesses me, so what, do you think there will be any clues for them to find out by the means of the concubine mother? Don't say you can't find it, even if you find it, your father will definitely not deal with this palace!"

"Uh, then..." Zhao Xuanqing was at a loss for words.

"You go to Master Han, I asked Master Han to arrange some homework for you, you go and study hard!" The queen was defeated by her son, she sighed helplessly, and waved her hand to signal Zhao Xuanqing to go out.

The next day, early morning.

When Zhao Zhengde announced that Xuan Yu would preside over the Ling Chi execution of the fifth prince and the envoy of Jingguo, everyone in the court was suddenly surprised. It belonged to the prince or the prince, but it was Xuan Yu who didn't expect it, and when they heard that the punishment of Ling Chi came from the prince's idea, everyone in the court was a little curious for a while.

But soon they lost their curiosity.

Because of one aspect of deterrence, Zhao Zhengde asked everyone in the court to go to the execution place together. When they saw what the so-called Ling Chi was like, many ministers who were weaker began to feel chills in their hearts. Looking at Xuan Yu's eyes, there was a trace of fear.

When I said it before, I didn’t think this punishment was terrible, but at this moment when I witnessed it with my own eyes, even Xuan Yu couldn’t help but feel chills in his heart. No wonder this punishment was used on criminals who committed serious crimes in ancient Z. On the head, this punishment is indeed shocking enough.

During the execution of the punishment, even Sun He, who had been a general, felt a stream of cold sweat running down his back when he looked at Xuan Yu, especially when he looked at the limbs of the two people who were being tortured. All broken, when Xuan Yu suddenly raised his head and smiled at him while screaming, Sun He's expression changed even more.

"Yu'er must have suffered a lot after he left."

Zhao Qianhe looked at Xuan Yu's eyes without the slightest emotion when he looked at the tragic situation of the two prisoners on the execution ground, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. After all, Yu'er is a girl, and she can face such a scene while watching such a scene. He must have suffered a lot to become like this if he didn't change his face, otherwise his kind Yu'er would never have thought of such a terrible punishment.

Because Zhao Zhengde had informed the reason the night before, Xuan Yu had already found two ruthless officials with excellent sword skills. After each knife is used, it will never hurt the vitals of the two of them. Then rest for a while and continue, and there are two recording eunuchs standing beside the cruel official. They will clearly record every cut, so as not to cut too little.

Taking a panoramic view of the reactions of everyone present, both Zhao Zhengde and Xuan Yu couldn't help nodding their heads slightly. When their eyes fell on Zhao Qianhe, and when they met his affectionate and extremely pitiful eyes, Xuan Yu Suddenly, I felt that a big drop of cold sweat hung on Alexander's forehead.

In other words, after seeing the kind woman I once liked suddenly become so scary now, don’t men generally shy away, what is going on with this man, after seeing her committing such a terrible punishment He even looked at her with such eyes!
