1039. The Beheading of the Official

Eunuch Liu also saw the contents of the letter next to him, smiling on his face, and said softly: "I congratulate the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly and smiled, "This matter is really worth congratulations. Fuzhou has settled down, and Kublai Khan cannot do anything if he doesn't want to discuss peace."

Even though he received a secret letter from Huang Hua, he was still a little unconfident, but now he is really confident.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Dongting began to pick up his pen and reply to Huang Hua.

My dear friends who have made contributions in Fuzhou will set an example for our Song Dynasty. After the military achievements are counted, I will reward you separately.

I agree to the matter of erecting the monument Huang’s pacification envoy, and only the matter of killing the generals and then consider it. After the peace talks with the Yuan Dynasty, the pacification envoy Huang must leave behind the lives of those surrendered generals.

This is what Zhao Dongting’s reply letter is.

Previously, many soldiers in each army made military achievements in combat. He could not have rewarded them all now.

Because this requires careful consideration.

After the ink on the paper dried up, Zhao Dongting asked the eunuch to send the secret letter to Yi Shiyu's pigeon breeding department.

Then he did not continue to stay in the imperial study and returned to the bedroom.

On the streets in Changsha City.

Hundreds of officials including Gao Manshan, Guanshu, etc. were taken to parade in prison vans.

Prison vans spread across several streets.

I don’t know how many people stopped by the street and watched.

This situation is even similar to when Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong returned to the city two days ago.

Officials from the Provincial Supervision and Law were riding tall horses in front of the prison cart. Behind them and on both sides of the street were soldiers wearing silver armored men and hundreds of them were accompanied.

Moreover, there are also masters from Wudingtang hidden in it.

I think even if someone is brave enough to intercept prisoners, he will only seek death.

"Corrupt official!"

"sinner!"

The people on both sides of the street heard the officials of the Supervision Provincial Committee shouting the guilt of Gao Manshan and the others, and the crowd gradually became angry.

Many people were holding rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs and other things at the officials in the prison car, making them feel embarrassed.

These people should be killed in crimes. Apart from colluding with the enemy, many people still have other crimes.

As we walked, we kept scolding.

When they finally arrived at the vegetable market, Gao Manshan and others could no longer see their original appearance.

They looked different, some were lost, some were sad and angry, and some were sad.

When things have developed to this point, they probably have no resentment in their hearts. Because the Supervisory Provinces have judged them by the law, which is extremely just.

The emperor did not use that kind of torture, such as Lingchi, snake pit, etc. to deal with them, and a happy way of dying such as beheading them is already considered to be the ultimate righteousness.

At the Meridian Gate.

The supervisory order Zhang Shijie has been waiting here in person.

This time, the officials involved a lot and involved a lot of forces, and he was personally sentenced to death.

There were more soldiers at the Meridian Gate than escorted, and even many imperial guards in the palace were allocated.

When the suspects arrived, many people also followed him here.

Zhang Shijie's eyes swept across Gao Manshan, Guan Shu and others' faces, with a bit complicated look.

After many years of colleagues, he really didn't expect that Gao Manshan and others would be Dali's pawns. Moreover, he would send them away now.

An official handed the crime to Zhang Shijie on the side.

This crime alone is a very long piece of paper.

After the soldiers took Gao Manshan and others out of the prison car, Zhang Shijie said loudly: "The sinner Gao Manshan, former Minister of Social Security, was sent to the enemy and treason... and executed."

"The sinner Guan Shu, former Minister of Finance, was sent to the enemy and treason... and executed."

I recited the crimes of more than a hundred criminal officials for more than ten minutes.

The execution ground has already quietly quieted down.

Countless people were shocked.

Because the identities of these officials were far beyond their expectations. Especially Gao Manshan and Guan Shu, these were already high-ranking officials whom they didn't even dare to think about.

Among these more than a hundred people, the lowest official rank is from the seventh rank. There are no minor officials without rank.

God knows how many vacancies will be vacant in the cities around the imperial city.

“Noon is here…”

Suddenly, an official with a cloud hat roared.

Gao Shijie pulled out a bamboo stick from the signboard on the desk in front of him, threw it on the ground, "Chun!"

There is a fishy red character "北" on the bamboo stick.

On the punishment platform, the chopsticks took away the crime behind Gao Manshan and others.

The luck fell.

Heads rolled to the ground.

A headless corpse fell down.

Blood splattered.

More than a hundred dead souls at the Meridian Gate.

The huge case of collusion in the Song Dynasty finally came to an end.

But the aftermath obviously won't end like that.

More than a hundred officials were beheaded by the Wumen Gate, and a lot of discussions arose among the people.

After a while, the news that Gao Manshan and others were executed was handed over to Zhao Dongting's bedroom by the eunuch.

Zhao Dongting, who was accompanying Zhao An and Zhao Ru, had read the memorial written by Zhang Shijie himself, but just sighed softly.

Regarding Gao Manshan and others, he didn't want to comment, nor did he know how to comment.

In fact, it is like Gao Manshan, Guanshu, and even Xie Fangde, who is the deputy supervisory order of the Provincial Supervision Bureau, who is able to hold an official position, has the ability to hold an official position. Over the years, they have also made a lot of efforts and made a lot of contributions to the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, they are all for their own masters.

The losses they caused to the Song Dynasty were not worthy of their contributions.

Zhao Dongting had to kill them.

The law is not sympathetic.

After a while of silence, Zhao Dongting said to Eunuch Liu beside him: "Tell me this news everywhere!"

"promise."

Eunuch Liu just took the order and walked outside. Of course, he could see that Zhao Dongting was in a heavy mood at this moment.

Dozens of riders left Changsha.

Hundreds of carrier pigeons heading all over the place.

Another day.

Yuan Zhongdu.

After receiving the letter from Zhao Dongting, Zhou Xingyan, the envoy to the Yuan Dynasty, showed joy on his face, and immediately took the letter to the Yuan Palace and asked to see Kublai Khan.

At this time, Emperor Kublai Khan in the Yuan Palace was so angry that he was lying in bed.

He is old?

He was furious when he received news of the defeat of Jiangling Prefecture and the army was completely defeated.

And the eve, he received another report of defeat in Fuzhou.

Fuzhou was even worse than Jiangling Prefecture. Apart from the pigeons, there were basically no soldiers who escaped from the city, and there was no news about A Shu.

This naturally made Kublai Khan very angry.

The moment he saw the letter, he felt a stream of blood suddenly surged into his head and then fell into a coma.

The five armies united Dali, Xinsong, and Yue Li Dynasty attacked Song State. Kublai Khan really never thought that this would be the end.

He even thought before that even if the Li Dynasty of the New Song, Dali, and Yue were defeated, the Yuan Dynasty alone would be enough to compete with the Song army.

But now reality tells him that the strength of the Yuan Dynasty is no longer comparable to that of the Song army.

In just a few years, the State of Song survived in a desperate situation and is now the biggest overlord on the Central Plains.

Although he still has more than 200,000 troops in the northern border, this number of people is simply impossible to be an enemy of the Song State.
