Chapter 366 Li Suotai, who was scolded to death

Li Lutai is in great pain now, and he himself has not succeeded in dying for his Qing Dynasty, so he is now in a situation where he is scolded.

When a person scolds him, he may be angry, when a group of people scolds him, he may just smile lightly, but when countless people come to scold him, and criticize him one after another, Li Lutai feels like he is cut into pieces. With his words and words, it is like thousands of arrows piercing his heart.

Basically, during the day, Li Shutai would be pulled out of the imperial prison by the Jinyiwei to accept scolding from officials and scholars, and then he would be taken back to the imperial prison at night.

Zhu Youxiao had no intention of killing Li Sutai. After a month or two, Li Sutai himself couldn't stand it anymore.

Just as the day was getting light, the two Jinyiwei lieutenants came to ask him to go out to receive criticism and re-education from the Ming officials and scholars. He finally knelt down to the two Jinyiwei lieutenants and kowtowed like garlic and said, "Two men, please let me die, you can die anyway!"

Li Ruitai cried so hard that he burst into tears. He knelt on the ground and turned to the two Jinyiwei lieutenants step by step, pointing at himself and said, "Use a tiger bench, a soldering iron, a linen, a whip, and a thousand knives. I just want you to stop asking them to scold me again. OK, I can't stand it, I can't stand it!"

"But it's strange. Your Majesty didn't do anything to you. He just asked you to drink some spitting, which made you feel so uncomfortable. He kept begging for death. However, sorry, we can't decide who we let live and who we let die. The life and death of everyone in the world determines the current emperor's hand. Your Majesty will not let you die. We two small Jinyiwei lieutenants dare not make decisions without authorization."

The two Jinyiwei lieutenants said that, and pulled Li Rutai away from the Beizhen Fushi Office and walked towards the ritual office.

The one who wants to hold a criticism meeting for Li Lutai today is at the Ministry of Rites. All officials in the Ministry of Rites must criticize Li Lutai's traitorous behavior and the crime of dying for Jiannu and even killing his mother, his wife and children.

The Censorate, the Ministry of Personnel and the Sixth Department Corps will also come to the scene and assess and supervise these Ministry of Rites officials based on the performance of these Ministry of Rites officials.

Once there are those who are not criticized well enough, or who are not moved by Li Lutai, they will be recorded with bad records. Even the censor and the six-department senior censors can use this to impeach these officials.

For this reason, officials of the Ministry of Rites had to quote the scriptures and curse Li Lutai. In order to move Li Lutai, even worse, they directly grabbed Li Lutai's prison uniform, spitted a few spits of saliva on his face, and then kept scolding him.

According to regulations, as long as you don’t hit it, you can accidentally spit out because you are too angry, so these officials of the Ministry of Rites who are too excited can be forgiven.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were good at scolding, especially those Qinggui officials who worked in the Ministry of Rites, Hanlin Academy and other places. Their greatest political advantage was their strong verbal words.'

However, today, Zhu Youxiao has transformed their advantage from scolding himself as an emperor to scolding the stubborn and stubborn as Jiannu and even wants to be a traitor and model!

Li Lutai's current feeling can be described as a mixture of scents. He didn't expect that he would be scolded like this by so many people among the scholars. He couldn't stand it. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and knelt down directly, and knelt down to the officials of the Ministry of Rites in front of him who were talking like shrews cursing: "My masters, I beg you, please let me go, you kill me!"

Although Li Shutai had already kneeled down, the officials of the Ministry of Rites still ignored him and cursed even more violently, because they all knew that their performance today was known by His Majesty today, and they didn't have time to care about Li Shutai's feelings.

Seeing that these Ming officials were still indifferent, Li Lutai had to lower his dignity again and knocked his head to the ground: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't forget my ancestors. I, Li Lutai, are a sinner for the ages!"

"I'm wrong, I'm really wrong. Please let me go. I'm a big traitor, I'm a big traitor who is scolded by thousands of people! Woo woo!"

Li Lutai couldn't help but burst into tears, and tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

However, the officials of the Ministry of Rites still didn't care whether Li Lutai was sad because of despair or was really sad because of remorse. Anyway, they only have one goal now, that is, to constantly scold Li Lutai, so that everyone present can know that his Majesty could do his best.

"Your Majesty, just in the early morning this morning, I just got the news that Li Rutai committed suicide by hitting a wall in the prison. It seemed that he could kill him, and he was so crazy that he had cried loudly before."

Wang Chengen reported to Zhu Youxiao about Li Lutai early in the morning, which made Zhu Youxiao throw the pearl rice porridge on the table without any interest in drinking it. He said, "I didn't expect that he could not resist scolding so much, and finally chose to commit suicide. But it's no wonder that when facing everyone's scolding, even if he is really a devout believer, his belief will be shaken. But I didn't expect that he couldn't resist it. I also want him to go to Jiangnan to be scolded again."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Create directly? Such a person's corpse is not worthy of staying in my Ming Dynasty!"

Li Shutai's incident was just a small incident in the tenth year of the revelation of the Ming Dynasty. He was more like a unique way to deal with His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, this way of dealing with all the literati was chilling. No one expected that His Majesty would deal with a person who was determined to stay in the world in this way!

For civil servants, they are often not afraid of death, but the four words "afraid word" are not immune to them. Therefore, Li Shutai's incident this time was just a punishment incident for a traitor, but it did make these civil servants more honest and dare not be used by His Majesty to participate in the criticism and controversy again.

Zhu Youxiao's method is just to make literati fight with each other. Although it is not very new, the effect is very obvious. If people without integrity scold people with integrity, perhaps this will allow more capable people who can be flexible and changeable but can adhere to principles.

The news that Li Rutai was scolded to death also spread outside the pass. For those traitors who were still serving Jiannu outside the pass, especially those who were blindly holding on to being loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, this news made them feel more uneasy than assassination. They did not expect that even their ideal of keeping integrity to preserve Confucian personality would be broken. This means that in this way, Zhu Youxiao directly deprived them of their dream of being lonely ministers.
