Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

When they got to the gate of the Imperial Prison, Chongzhen ordered Xu Xianchun: "The Temple of the Martyrs is about to be completed, but the kneeling statues of the treacherous ministers in front of the temple are not yet ready. Others are fine. I will order the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry to cast them together." .Is it just Fan Wencheng, first put this fang into a mould, fill it with molten iron, cast it into a kneeling statue, and make it kneel and stand in front of the martyr's shrine forever!"

When Xu Xianchun heard the words, he shuddered all over, thinking to himself that His Majesty's cruel heart is not as good as the cruelty of Jie and Zhou.

It's just that as the Son of Heaven's pro-army, the emperor has always said what he said, so he should bow down and say: "Minister, obey the order."

After Chongzhen left, Xu Xianchun immediately started preparing to cast the kneeling statue.

First, he ordered someone to cut off Fan Wencheng's tongue to prevent him from screaming and screaming. Then his limbs were broken, and iron nails were drilled into the broken joints to fix him in a kneeling position.

Then they recruited craftsmen, and took the fixed Fan Wencheng as a mold, first turned over a pair of molds, and then put Fan Wencheng into it and fixed it.

After all the iron in the furnace was melted into molten iron, the red molten iron was poured into the mold that wrapped Fan Wencheng.

There was a sound of barking, and a smell of burnt hair and flesh spread out.Even Jin Yiwei, who had seen too much torture, was disgusted by everyone.

Unfortunately, Fan Wencheng, the head of the three major traitors in the late Ming Dynasty, died.

After the mold cooled down, the mold was opened again, and a kneeling iron statue appeared in front of everyone.

The captain of Jinyiwei who was standing in front of the kneeling statue suddenly shuddered, and immediately dodged to the side, not to look at the kneeling statue again.

Only Xu Xianchun gave a bah sound, and spit directly onto the kneeling statue. At this moment, the still warm kneeling statue made another bah sound, and the spit evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xu Xianchun said to the captains of Jinyiwei: "Place it well, and send it there after the martyr's temple is built."

However, Chongzhen, who returned to the harem, also received a request from the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to see him.

Chongzhen ordered people to announce Xue Fengxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, to have an audience.

After seeing the ceremony, Xue Fengxiang brought good news to Chongzhen: Thanks to the powerful cement in the Huangzhuang Village in the south of the city, the Martyrs' Shrine is almost completed.

Chapter 68 Martyr's Shrine

On November 28, the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, snowflakes were already floating in the sky.Pedestrians on the road hurried home, cursing the fucking weather one by one, it seemed that this year was colder than usual.

Chongzhen's heart was full of fire.For Emperor Chongzhen, who has been in fear every day since crossing, and threatened the courtiers with the factory guard butcher knife in his hand, after sacrificing the big killer of never adding edicts to buy people's hearts, it actually seems a bit out of his wits.

As the head of Chu in a certain TV series of your later generations said, if Chongzhen killed all the ministers in the court, who would do things for him?

It's really urgent to kill. If the south rebels first, then there is no need to wait for the disaster of Jiashen. It is estimated that the first year of Chongzhen may not be able to survive.

But after the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine, Chongzhen's heart hanging in his throat can finally be withdrawn into his stomach.

For the Qiu Bas at that time, the Martyrs' Shrine was their spiritual sustenance.After the bank is also settled, Chongzhen, who has dual control of the army both spiritually and economically, said that he will not be afraid of anyone's rebellion.

So after going to court, Chongzhen couldn't wait to go to the Martyrs' Shrine to have a look, to see if the Martyrs' Shrine met his requirements, and whether the cement was good or bad.

Therefore, no matter how cold the snowflakes in the sky are, Chongzhen still doesn't care even if those large snow leaves hit his face faintly.

Accompanied by the ministers of the cabinet, Guo Yunhou, Minister of Household Affairs, Xue Fengxiang, Minister of Industry, and Meng Shaoyu, Minister of Rites, Chongzhen came to inspect the completed Temple of Martyrs.

Go south from Chengtian Gate, pass Chang'an Avenue of later generations, and a little bit to the east, you can see the solemn and solemn Martyr's Shrine.

The entire Martyr's Shrine occupies an extremely large area, even compared to the square in front of Chengtian Gate, it does not give way.

There is no courtyard wall in the entire Martyrs' Shrine, and the entire ancestral hall is located on Chang'an Avenue.Because of the notification that Chongzhen was coming, the whole place had already been sealed off, and the captains of Jinyiwei and Dongchang fanzi had combed the place over and over again.

The snowstorm is getting bigger and bigger.After Chongzhen approached this place, due to the cover of the yellow umbrella, there was not much snow on Chongzhen's body, but the body of Jin Yiwei, who was on guard, had already been covered with snowflakes, each of them was like a snowman, standing motionless in the wind and snow. Among them, only the eager eyes can show that this is a living person.

When you get closer, take a closer look. Since the overall construction is made of cement, the eaves and arches are added later for decoration. The entire Martyr's Shrine presents a precipitated blue-gray color, which gives people a dignified feeling. , rough.

When you get closer, you can clearly see three archways, layer by layer from west to east, until 50 meters in front of the gate of the Martyr's Shrine.

The most western one has a door and three holes, and the roof is also carved from granite.At the foot of the four gateposts, there are four stone lions squatting to show their malevolent aura.

In the middle of the arch above, there is a large white space, and a large space is left on the left and right, which must be reserved for writing couplets.

After passing through the three archways for about a hundred steps in a row, there is the main hall of the Martyr's Shrine, which imitates the Hall of Supreme Harmony but is different.

There are nine steps in the front of the hall, and three passages are separated by white jade railings.The whole hall has flying eaves and brackets, and the name of the hall in the center is also empty, which must have been reserved for Chongzhen's inscriptions.

After entering the hall, there is a statue of Yue Fei and Yue Wu Mu enshrined in it. There is no one in the empty hall at the moment, and a slight sound can be heard very clearly, which adds to the uncomfortable feeling in Chongzhen's heart.

When returning, Chongzhen pointed to the blank space on the archway where couplets were written, and suddenly asked Meng Shaoyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, "Meng Aiqing, who was originally scheduled to find someone to write in these empty spaces?"

Hearing this, Meng Shaoyu hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty Qizuo, this matter has not yet been finalized. Your Majesty should be writing here.

If your majesty has no time, he will ask the chief minister of the dynasty and the contemporary Yan Shenggong to write. "

Chongzhen hadn't thought about competing with his courtiers for the opportunity to write, but when he heard the words Yan Shenggong, he felt a little tired, and said immediately: "Forget it, I will write these. The soldiers sacrificed for the country , I always have something to say, but I can't let the soldiers die in vain."

When Meng Shaoyu heard the words, he bowed to accept the order and said: "My minister obeys the order."

It's just that Chongzhen who returned to the palace was very unhappy.

Because no matter how you write, you can't write the effect you want.He always felt that no matter what he wrote, he seemed to be sorry for those soldiers who sacrificed for the country.

Throwing away the pen in his hand, Chongzhen simply closed his eyes.In front of my eyes, the scenes in the battle to defend the capital began to emerge again.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who were not afraid of death, would rather jump off the wall and fall to their death with Jiannu who had climbed to the top of the city, rather than reject the decision of Jiannu to climb to the top of the city. The soldiers who had dinner disappeared before his eyes the next day.

There is also Wang Xuanji whom I have only seen once, just to capture a living Fan Wencheng, Wang Xuanji died in Liaodong along with twelve Jinyiwei captains, even the bones have never been found.

The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and even Chongzhen, whose eyes were moist, suddenly became furious. They were all these damn Jiannu, and he must completely get rid of Jiannu in his lifetime!No, there are Japanese pirates!And those damn monkeys in Nanyang!

The more he thought about it, the more angry Chongzhen suddenly opened his eyes again, grabbed the pen he had thrown away just now, and wrote the three big characters of Martyr's Shrine on the rice paper in front of him.

These three words, like iron and silver hooks, pierced through the back of the paper, and the dark ink showed a chilling air.

Only the strong character in the middle is missing a bit below.Chongzhen's thinking at this time is probably the same as that of a certain bald headmaster in later generations. I only wish that there would be fewer martyrs in Ming Dynasty!

Now that he had written a satisfactory picture of big characters, Chongzhen simply rushed to write the couplets on the three archways and the inscription in the main hall of the Martyr's Shrine.

Chongzhen seemed to have exhausted all his strength when he finished writing a few pieces of characters, but he asked Wang Chengen to order those characters to be sent to the Martyr's Shrine, and ordered the craftsmen to carve them as they were.

After waiting for a while, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen: "Meng Shaoyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, will enter the palace to meet you."

Seeing that Chongzhen was extremely exhausted, Wang Chengen sobbed: "My lord, why don't you see Mr. Meng tomorrow? You should have a good rest today!"

Chongzhen smiled wryly and said: "No way. Wang Banban, this Daming is a heavy burden entrusted to me by the emperor, and I can't relax."

Chapter 69 end of year

On December 27th, the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, the Forbidden City, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Today was supposed to be a small year, but since years ago, all government offices have been on holiday and no longer work.But today, the ministers were summoned by Chongzhen again. I don't know what monster moth this master is going to make again.

Sure enough, I heard Chongzhen on the throne say: "Today, I'm calling everyone to come here, but there are a few things that I want everyone to discuss.
