"Kill them, kill these traitors!"

At almost noon, the prison van successively escorted the first batch of death row prisoners to the execution ground.

The people watching along the way threw the rotten vegetables and leaves at them, cursing and cursing, which showed their anger.

"His Majesty the Emperor wisely kills the traitors, and such traitors cannot be kept!"

"Kill them, kill them!"

The death row prisoners all looked as if they were ashes, like eggplant beaten by frost. They didn't move even if the people threw the leaves on them.

Soon the prison car arrived near the execution ground.

The death row prisoners were dragged out of the car one by one, like dragging a dead dog.

They were pressed onto the guillotine one by one and knelt in front of the chopping board.

Many of these death row prisoners are family members, but they don’t even have the courage to look at each other.

The prison officer kept looking at the sky. When he saw that the time had arrived, he threw out a sign and said, "It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, so I'll start a lawsuit and ask for it."

With a command, the executioners pressed the heads of the dead prisoners onto the chopping board. Since they still had braids, they just needed to pull the braids forward and the heads of the dead prisoners were instinctively stretched forward. It would be appropriate to use the word "slaying" to describe it.

Executioners are all well-trained experts. They lift their swords and roll onto the ground.

Blood gushed out of my neck, splashing far away.

The onlookers felt that it was a bit unsatisfactory.

That's it? That's it?

"These traitors should be executed!"

"Yes, beheading them is too cheap!"

The prison officials ignored it and ordered the executioner to execute the execution quickly.

Just kidding, if all the hundreds or thousands of people were executed by Lingchi, when would Lingchi go?

It is much easier to behead. If you cut your head down, you will fall to the ground and your body and your head will be different.

Soon a group of people were beheaded, and the executioners took another group to the guillotine, and the knife fell to the ground and more than twenty people were born.

The head was left to be hung on a flagpole for public display, while the bodies were piled up on small carts near the guillotine, and would be buried in the cemetery outside the city.

The executioner was executed very quickly, and he killed all 200 people in less than half an hour.

Among them, the knife was changed once because of the chopping of the blade.

The people are still unsatisfied and feel that they are not satisfied.

Fortunately, the deceased officials allowed them to use cloth strips to dip the blood of the death row prisoners.

The people were excitedly climbing up to the guillotine to dip blood. It is said that this thing can be used as a medicine introduction. Although I don’t know whether it is true or not, I will never lose money if I try it.

The prison officer looked at the sky and announced that he would finish work today.

Although he can continue to execute the execution, His Majesty's decree is to kill about 200 people in one day.

The executioner can also understand Your Majesty’s intentions. This can maximize the shocking effect.

These death row prisoners are still alive. When they treasoned the country and surrendered to the enemy, they should have known that they would be the end.

The Ming Dynasty will be blessed by God, and sooner or later it will be able to revive the world. At that time, the families that have betrayed the Ming Dynasty will end up like this.

All the kings under the world are the kings, and all the kings and ministers are the kings. Even if they escape to the ends of the world, they will never be able to escape.

The Ming Dynasty is ultimately the master of this world.

"Your Majesty, the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Huangyan, and Zhang Ge Lao asked for a visit."

Zhu Youlang was reviewing the memorial in the warm room, and Han Miao, the eunuch in charge of the seal, respectfully reported the report.

"Oh? Let's meet Mr. Xuanzhang."

Zhu Youlang put down the red pen in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Zhang Huangyan, the chief assistant of the Xuan Cabinet, met with him."

As the eunuchs chanted, Zhang Huangyan walked into the warm pavilion and politely ceremonies against Zhu Youlang.

"Please flat, give Mr. Zhang a seat."

Zhu Youlang's attitude was very kind, and Zhang Huangyan got used to it, so he sat down on the Jindun respectfully.

"Old Zhang Ge Lao is so anxious to meet the saint, but what's the point?"

"Well, Your Majesty is the crown prince's ceremony."

Zhang Huangyan naturally came prepared and said in a deep voice: "The prince is already an adult, and according to the rules of his ancestors, he should perform the crown ritual. I am here to ask Your Majesty to allow the Ministry of Rites to prepare the crown ritual of the crown prince."

"Oh, it's for this."

Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "I have been busy with court affairs recently and have forgotten about this."

Not to mention, Zhu Cixuan has become an adult while mixing with each other.

The adulthood of the royal family and the adulthood of the folk are not the same concept, and it is even more incomparable to the adulthood of later generations.

Especially the crown prince, as the crown prince is the foundation of the country.

The crown prince’s ceremony of becoming an adult is naturally the most important thing for the court.

In terms of importance, it is probably second only to the emperor's throne ceremony.

Zhu Youlang has been busy with government affairs, but he forgot about this matter.

It's still a bit of money that Zhu Cixuan lost.

Of course, this is not just a matter of crowning.

The coming of age of the crown prince means choosing a concubine.

The selection of the Crown Princess is also a very important matter. You must start preparing immediately and there must be no delay.

When the crown ceremony ends, the list of women selected should be presented to Zhu Youlang.

This list is nominally a primary election, but in fact it is the result of several rounds of screening by the Ministry of Rites.

What Zhu Youlang needs to do is to select some pleasing from this list and enter the re-examination stage.

The so-called re-examination session is when Zhu Youlang ordered people to summon them all into the palace to choose one by one, and finally designated the Crown Princess if appropriate.

As for the Crown Prince Zhu Cixuan, he doesn't need to do anything in this process.

The parents' orders and matchmaker's words.

In this era, the command of parents is heaven.

What's more, the Tianjia Hu.

"I will ask the Ministry of Rites to start doing this. The selection of the Crown Princess can also be started."

Zhu Youlang paused and then continued: "By the way, since Master Zhang is here, I suddenly remember something."

Zhu Youlang got up and walked to the map hanging on the wall, paused and said, "Now King Zhong has attacked Daming Mansion, King Jin has taken Tongguan, Duke Lin and others have even attacked Shanxi. It is only a matter of time before I think it is time to take over the capital. Should I consider moving the capital?"

The Ming Dynasty has always adhered to the two capital system.

The so-called two capital system refers to the parallel between the two countries.

This is somewhat similar to the Western Beijing Chang'an and Tokyo Luoyang during the Tang Dynasty.

The two capital system is naturally beneficial, that is, there has always been an alternative imperial organ.

Once something happened in the north, such as in the late Chongzhen period, the court in the south could immediately support a royal family to inherit the throne.

This greatly increases fault tolerance.

But after all, Shuntian Prefecture was the capital of the emperors of all dynasties since the Chengzu Jingnan. Once the capital was taken down, if Zhu Youlang did not move the capital, he would inevitably gossip.

That's why he took the initiative to bring up this matter and discussed the specific matters of moving the capital with Zhang Huangyan.

Zhang Huangyan heard Zhu Youlang's words and knew that the emperor had decided to move the capital, so he didn't want to persuade him anymore. He said respectfully: "Since Your Majesty has decided to move the capital, I will go to discuss the capital with the Ministry of Rites. But I will definitely have to wait until the royal army recovers the capital and then make a decision."
