Chapter 103 Lingchi 2 Kings
Shen Changgong continued,
"By the way, Prince Rong, there is one more thing you don't know yet."
"Now your palace belongs to me. I now live in your house and sleep in your spacious bedroom. Even your former concubine has become my personal maid. Do you know all this?"
Hearing this, Tu Queling behind him looked at him in surprise. When did she become his personal maid?
I guess he wanted to deliberately irritate Prince Rong. Never mind, men all care about their reputation, so let him pretend for a while.
Prince Rong's face was gloomy and furious, distorted to the extreme.
shame!
What a shame and humiliation!
How could he not see that behind Shen Changgong stood Tu Que Ling. The woman who had always been fawning over him was actually standing behind his enemy. How could he tolerate this?
This bastard lived in his house, slept with his woman, beat his son, and looked down on him and humiliated him.
This is such a great shame and humiliation that we cannot forgive!
Prince Rong was furious.
Yes, what else can he do besides being angry?
Suddenly, Prince Rong looked at Yan Fuyao, smiled coldly, and said,
"Your Majesty, you have heard it too, right? Shen Changgong has been having an affair with another woman behind your back, reveling in it every night. This is a shameless betrayal of the king and a crime of deceiving the emperor!
If I give birth to another evil child in the future, wouldn't he become the crown prince of Great Yan? Wouldn't the royal bloodline of Great Yan be cut off?"
Yan Fuyao was not angry at all about Prince Rong's provocation. He smiled and said,
"You worry too much. I know all these things, and I have agreed to them. Prince Rong has three wives and four concubines, and countless women in the backyard. How is Shen Changgong any worse than you?
A man of honor never has to worry about not having a wife. The laws of Dayan do not prohibit men from taking concubines. It is up to Shen Changgong to find as many concubines as he wants. Even if he doesn't want one, I will reward him with one. As long as he is happy, that's all.
As for the Crown Prince of Great Yan, only my own bloodline can inherit the throne, no one else can."
"Then...what if you can't give birth to a son?"
"A daughter is fine too. Didn't the late emperor and I both inherit the throne as princesses?"
"You...you...a witch is bringing disaster to our country! A witch is bringing disaster to our country! Our Great Yan will surely perish in your hands!"
Shen Changgong snorted coldly,
"Come here, take him down and cut off his tongue!"
The royal guards on the side immediately pushed him to the ground, took out a dagger, inserted it into Prince Rong's mouth, and crushed his tongue into pieces.
Prince Rong's mouth was full of blood. He was in so much pain that he couldn't get up from the ground. His fat body was gasping for breath.
Shen Changgong sneered,
"Prince Rong, do you know how much I want to see you holding a knife and fighting with other powerful people down there, and finally being hacked to death?
But looking at your current condition, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to pick up a knife to kill someone. There's no point in lying on the ground waiting to die.
Therefore, this king, in his magnanimity, has decided not to let you participate in this brutal fight. I will spare you and let you go to be with your old friend and brother, Prince Gong."
"Let's change it to Lingchi."
Shen Changgong was just doing a favor. The main reason was that Prince Rong had insulted the emperor in public and must be executed by slow slicing. Otherwise, with so many people watching, if the most severe punishment was not imposed, no one would dare to defy the imperial power in the future.
The Royal Guards dragged Prince Rong towards a high platform.
At this time, Prince Gong, who was tied up, was also pushed onto the platform. He was slightly stronger than Prince Rong and had a cloth stuffed in his mouth.
The two most powerful kings of the time were now prisoners, tied to the execution ground, wearing prison uniforms, looking extremely pitiful.
There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. The fate of the two of them was entirely due to one person.
Who could have imagined that in just over twenty days, a new noble would suddenly rise up, wipe out all of these old nobles, and send them to the guillotine.
Two people who could not speak looked at each other. There was no longer the tit-for-tat and smoke-filled atmosphere of the past, but only the sorrow and despair of being two people who had been stranded in the world.
They looked at each other and tears started to fall.
The Royal Guards didn't care about this. They stripped the two men of their clothes, tied them to pillars, wrapped them in fishing nets, and prepared to execute them.
After seeing this, Tu Que Ling came to Shen Chang Gong and whispered,
"My Lord, where is this servant?"
"Go."
"Yes."
Tu Queling immediately trotted over. Shen Changgong had promised her a long time ago that he would let her kill Prince Gong with her own hands, but she had to wait until the day of the public execution.
Tu Queling looked forward to this day day and night.
After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today!
Looking at Tu Queling's ferocious and man-eating eyes, Prince Gong knew that he would not have a good death.
Shen Changgong turned his head to look at Gongsun Wan'er and said with a smile,
"Little maid, don't you also have a grudge against Prince Rong? Are you going to go up and do it yourself?"
However, Gongsun Wan'er shook her head and said,
"Death settles all debts. All I need to do is watch Prince Rong die. Furthermore, I am His Majesty's chief steward. When I'm out in public, I represent His Majesty's reputation. If I were to personally cut the prisoner's flesh, what would the people think? What would the officials think?"
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"Oh, you are quite impressive. You are a prime minister with a broad mind. I think you have the potential to be a prime minister."
Gongsun Wan'er snorted coldly and said,
"Do you think I'm like some people, so petty, holding grudges over the smallest offenses, biting them relentlessly, magnifying hatred infinitely, with a dark and perverted heart, as despicable and vindictive as a creepy crawly in the night?"
Shen Changgong snorted coldly,
"I'm really sorry for that. You must have looked up a lot of books just to come up with these words and to be able to scold me today, right?"
"Humph, I'm well-read, unlike some people who are ignorant and only know how to fight and kill."
"Are you feeling a bit dizzy today?"
Shen Changgong looked at Gongsun Wan'er slowly, his eyes full of threats.
Gongsun Wan'er saw his eyes and blushed slightly. She turned around and pulled the empress's sleeve and said,
"Your Majesty, this treacherous minister has bullied me again. Please quickly order him to be taken to be tortured to death."
Yan Fuyao chuckled and said,
"You guys handle your own affairs. I enjoy watching you bickering."
Gongsun Wan'er pouted unhappily and glared at Shen Changgong fiercely.
Shen Changgong raised his hand and slapped Gongsun Wan'er, scaring her so much that she took a few steps back and never dared to be arrogant again.
At this time, the Royal Guards brought a lot of broken knives and threw them into the parade ground, "accidentally" hitting many people.
These knives were all discarded by the security forces. Now that the security forces are wealthy, all their equipment has been replaced with new ones.
The host An Rong shouted,
"Listen up, you are all mortals sentenced to death, but His Majesty and the Prince are merciful and have decided to give you a chance to live.
But this path to survival requires you to fight for it yourself!"
