Yan family? Many people no longer remember the famous family 23 years ago. Only some old people still remember things about the Yan family.
It's just that everyone in the Yan family died twenty-three years ago. This man who suddenly appeared claimed to be Yan Zhaonan's son. Is this credible?
The most important thing is that the other party is suing the Supreme Emperor. I have never heard of people dare to sue the emperor. Isn’t this looking for death?
Among all the onlookers present, the little emperor was probably the most confused.
In the palace, the name Yan is a taboo word, especially the name Yan Zhaonan. Every time Emperor Cheng Qing heard it, he would get furious. In the first few years when the Yan family had trouble, many maids and eunuchs died in the palace because of this incident. As time went by, no one dared to mention this name or the family behind him.
Therefore, when Zongzheng Qingqi was young, there was almost no trace of the Yan family, including when he was studying in Gongxue. The teachers only described the Yan family as ambitious, traitorous rebels, and then brushed it off.
Now, more than twenty years later, a man suddenly came out and said that he was the eldest son of Yan Zhaonan, who was supposed to have died in the massacre of his family. He also sounded the drum of injustice and sued the current emperor. It is really ridiculous.
However, the teachings of the masters were still effective. At least at this time, Zongzheng Qingqi did not rush forward and question the other party.
"Do you know that there is a price to be paid for beating the drum of grievance and redressing one's grievances in front of the saint." The gatekeeper said to the man kneeling outside the palace gate who claimed to be Yan Chu.
They were also very troubled when something like this happened. The other party sued the Supreme Emperor in public, and so many people listened. If there were any bad effects, would the higher-ups take it out on people like them?
But complaining is a rule left by our ancestors. So many people see it, so they can't ignore the etiquette and take away the man who complained.
After thinking about it, it was better to scare the other party with "Mountain of Swords" and "Sea of Fire". As long as the other party was afraid and regretted it, then they would just think of some excuses and spread some rumors to deal with the matter.
"I know."
But the man's attitude obviously didn't match their ideas.
"Now that the drum of grievance has been sounded, I am naturally ready to roll over the mountain of knives and walk through the sea of fire."
The man's expression was very resolute. He looked in the direction of the imperial city, "I have endured humiliation for so many years just to collect evidence that the former emperor and the current Supreme Emperor destroyed my Yan family and slandered my Yan family's loyalty and valor. These more than twenty Years have been stolen by me. If you can give justice to my Yan family, even if it takes my life, so what? "
The man has obviously thrown his own life and death away. For a man who is living on his last breath and believes in revenge, what can't he lose?
"General Zhenguo, I still remember him. When he repelled the northwest Yi tribe and rode a tall horse to Beijing to receive the reward, he was so majestic at that time."
"I also remember that when General Yan left early, the imperial court had no military officers. If it weren't for the emergence of Little General Yan at that time, the northwest would have been in chaos for who knows how long. He defeated the Yi tribe that time. My vitality was severely damaged, and it is only now, more than twenty years later, that I have regained some vitality. It is said that the northwest is in chaos again. If General Yan is still here, maybe there will be nothing wrong with the Yi people. "
"Why are you talking so much? What's the use of his high abilities? The dragon robe and the treasonous letter that were confiscated from the house were still fake. He is so ambitious. He is a big trouble alive."
"Bah, if General Yan is really ambitious, he can still sit back and wait for some random bandits to kill his wife and children, and he can go to the palace alone for a banquet. Isn't it that he is stupid, stupid, and foolishly loyal to the emperor? If he really has a counter-intention , he should have been prepared when the Supreme Emperor summoned his family to Beijing, and he could die so suddenly, I see, everything can't be compared to the words, "Great achievements, shocking the master."
Zongzheng Qingqi clenched his fists tightly as he listened to the whispers of the people around him.
Perhaps because of his distrust of Emperor Cheng Qing, his father, he felt that the words of the onlooker next to him, who felt inappropriate, covered his mouth and disappeared into the crowd after saying the words "Great Master Zhen", might be true. .
Killing a donkey is indeed something his father could do. Likewise, being petty is also his characteristic.
Although the son never complained about his father's faults, Emperor Cheng Qing's behavior was unqualified, both from the perspective of him as an emperor and as an ordinary father.
Especially today, after listening to the people's comments about him and Xiao Chu, Zongzheng Qingqi became even more disappointed with his father.
Now something like this happened suddenly, which only made his disappointment even greater.
The guard guarding the gate acted quickly. While everyone was discussing, he took out the nail board that had been stored in the warehouse for decades and placed it in front of the city gate.
Although they have been covered in dust for a long time, after a simple wipe, those iron nails are still sharp and frightening in the sun, with a faint cold light, and they are densely packed. It is frightening to look at them. It is conceivable that when a person lies on these nails, What kind of pain will it feel when the iron nails pierce into the flesh when you are on the board?
The man took off his thick blouse and wore only a thin undershirt. Without hesitation, he lay down directly. There was a popping sound, and blood seeped out from his back and slowly flowed down along the grooves of the nail board.
Those who were less courageous had already covered their eyes and ears, not daring to look or listen.
"Woo——" The man gritted his teeth, only groaned lightly, supported his hands on the nail rake, turned around, revealing the blood holes on his back, and nailed the front half of his body on the iron nails.
In an instant, the whole person was soaked in blood, and even the brave guards who guarded the city could not bear to watch it anymore.
The man did not pause. For such a punishment, stopping would be the most fatal. Only by not stopping and enduring the pain and rolling over the three-meter-long nail board would there be hope of success.
And because the iron nails are densely distributed, these injuries look scary. In fact, when you lie on it, the stabs will not be so deep, and there is no need to worry about abdominal injuries, but the pain is really unbearable. Many people can't stand such pain, so they keep a posture for a long time, and because of the pain, several points of force on the body can't help but increase the force, causing the needles to pierce deeper and deeper.
The onlookers listened to the puffing sound and the man's suppressed groaning, and didn't dare to open their eyes until the unbearable sound ended.
By this time, the man had become a bloody man. There was no color other than red on his originally white inner clothes. It was conceivable how his body was riddled with holes.
After rolling on the "mountain of knives" and the "sea of fire", the guards at the gate began to prepare charcoal fire after realizing that the other party's perseverance was enough to support him to climb over the mountain of knives.
They smashed the red-hot charcoal and paved a path.
At this moment, the man's face had turned pale due to excessive bleeding, but he still stubbornly took off his shoes and walked barefoot on the "volcano."
The sound of "sizzling" charcoal burning flesh and flesh, accompanied by a stronger and stronger smell of burnt, the man's lower lip had been bitten and bled, but he was still strong and did not scream in pain.
Such a boy is worthy of being the son of the famous general Yan Zhaonan, and he has lived up to the reputation of his ancestors.
From suspicion at the beginning to admiration now, the emotional changes of the onlookers are just between these few incense sticks.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go back to the palace."
Yan Chu watched the guards come forward to support the man who had stepped on the "volcano" and then fell down weakly, and went forward to whisper in Zong Zheng Qingqi's ear.
"Go back, go back to the palace."
Zong Zheng Qingqi obviously had not recovered from the shock of the scene just now. He only regained some clarity of mind after hearing Yan Chu's voice.
The other party passed the test of "knife mountain" and "sea of fire". Soon, all officials will enter the palace, and he, the emperor, should also appear.
For the first time in the world, someone sued the emperor, and Zong Zheng Qingqi suddenly didn't know what he should do.
If it was really the fault of the emperor, should he admit in front of all the people of Da Shang that the emperor was such a shameless and despicable villain? This would be throwing the face of the Zong Zheng royal family to the ground for people to trample on. Since ancient times, when has there been an emperor who was thrown to the gallows for trial while still on the throne?
Once Emperor Chengqing was found guilty, the Zongzheng royal family would become a joke, and the history books would record this shocking incident.
But if the Yan family was not given justice, Zongzheng Qingqi felt that his previous persistence and his desire to be a wise emperor seemed to have become a joke.
What should he choose?
He couldn't help but glance at Xiao Chu, who looked indifferent. Maybe he could give him a correct direction?
