Zhen Guo Princess GL

Chapter 245 Dreamland

When I was dreaming, my eyes were covered with blood, the dark red color filled every corner of my eyes, everything was red, the sky, the earth, mountains, rivers...all were red.People, big and small, have all turned into paper-thin figures in this patch of red. They are busy walking around in a large space under the high sky and above the open land. Stupid, slow-moving, thin body, as if he could become one with this blood shadow at any time.

I knew it was a dream, so even though I saw the familiar faces on these figures, I was still able to keep my composure. I stopped by the side of the road and looked at these figures who came and went—most of them were familiar to me but called me. Some of the people whose names I don't know are people I know, and some are people I know well.

The one I know best is Aryan.I don't know if it's because she is familiar with me, but her expression is more vivid than others. When she saw me from a distance, she turned around and walked towards me all the way. When I came out, my eyeballs protruded and my hands and claws grew, but I approached me and said softly, "There is a foreign country called Chenla, and the people there eat everything, and your favorite food is like you." little lady."

I hurriedly stretched out my hand, stretching it straight, lest others would not know that I was having a nightmare, and sure enough, someone grabbed my hand, shook me vigorously to wake me up, and immediately poked my neck, and then frowned , half complaining, half sighing: "Dream again?"

I hummed lightly, held A Huan's hand with one hand, and sat up on the bed with the other. As expected, I was sweating and clammy. I'll be fine, A Huan asked someone to fetch water and scrubbed it for me, I saw her eyes were black and blue, I felt really distressed, so I said in a low voice, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, just take care of yourself first The other side is more important - Shouli just entered Zhenguan Hall to study, and he doesn't know what's going on every day, you are at the front, go to have a look every now and then, don't let others bully him."

A Huan didn't say a word, she quickly wiped my clothes up and down for me, and I put on my own clothes. She just glanced at me a few times, and grabbed my left breast with one hand, making me blush, but she Withdrew his hand and went back, said lightly: "The dance is not fierce, it seems that it is not a nightmare."

I smiled awkwardly: "It's still the same dream, but I learned how to be good. When I saw the people inside trying to grab me, I quickly stretched out my hands. As soon as you grabbed me, I took off. Those ghosts even touched my clothes." Can't even touch the corners."

A Huan gave me a blank look: "What the hell, it's weird, you are not allowed to talk about this in the palace."

I groaned, and she added: "You are not allowed to say anything at home, and you are not allowed to say anything on the road."

I knew she blamed me for wanting to watch Zheng Lang's execution. It was the time when I was very angry, so I didn't dare to disobey, so I took her hand and explained carefully: "I didn't mean to make myself sick. Killed him in the street... After all, he is also a senior official who wears purple, and he is someone he recognizes..." Speaking of the latter part, recalling the situation that day, he still trembled unavoidably, shut his mouth and stopped talking.

When I arrived that day, almost all the people had been killed, and there were many people in front of me. Feng Yongchang and his entourage refused to push through the crowd for me, so I only saw a row of corpses in the distance. There was also a disgusting bloodstain.

All the corpses were dressed in white clothes. At first glance, it was hard to tell who was who. When you looked closely, the body was much more brutal than the soul. He passed out after holding the soul. When he woke up, he was in his mother's arms, surrounded by a There were very rhythmic beating sounds and muffled humming sounds outside the hall, but it was my mother who ordered that those who go out with me this time will be beaten in front of the hall regardless of their position. Non-stop.

I didn't mean to abuse myself, but I haven't seen many dead people in my life. Before Ayang died, my understanding of the word "death" was only at the funeral of my ninety-year-old cheap grandmother. .After that, I heard about the deaths of many people intermittently, and wept on the body of the late emperor, but deep down, I still felt that there was no big difference between "death" and "separation". It doesn't appear in front of me either.Most people have no friendship with me at all, and if they do, it is not a pleasant friendship.

But when I arrived at Zheng Lang, I suddenly became curious.What kind of thing is death that makes people so afraid?In a certain sense, I was actually a person who died once, but that time I died suddenly and quickly, and then I found myself time-traveled, so I had no time to think about such boring and uninteresting questions.In the days that followed, he was either busy adapting to the dynasty and pleasing his parents, or eating, drinking and having fun in the palace, playing and messing around with Li Rui, and he never had time to care about these mysterious and mysterious things.Until it was Zheng Lang's turn.

The greatest friendship between me and Zheng Lang is to prepare gifts for the names of his family members during festivals, visit them and their husbands and wives to pay New Year’s greetings, meet several "nephews and nieces" one by one, and say auspicious words to each other. When I was in the palace recently, I didn't prepare the gift, and even the names of his family members were unfamiliar, so that when I saw the row of corpses from a distance, I couldn't immediately tell who was who.I don't know why I went to see him being killed. After all, his brother-in-law's brother, the household servant under the fourth rank, is not 01:30 worse than King Qi, Pei Yan and others.But when King Qi and Pei Yan were killed, I didn't feel anything at all. When it was Zheng Lang's turn, I felt as if I was being haunted. I only wanted to see his death.

Now that I think about it, maybe it is because he is the son of the princess and the brother-in-law. Although he is close, his status is far less important than King Qi and Pei Yan, so I want to take a look. Such an unimportant person is How could he be punished with the same severe punishment as someone as important as King Qi and Pei Yan?After all, my current identity is that princess who is neither big nor small, far less important than King Qi and Pei Yan in terms of government, but far superior to the former two in terms of kinship.

I want to see with my own eyes, what kind of death will happen to a person like me if he is unlucky.It is true that in my capacity, as a woman and a direct family member, I will never go to the point of abandoning the city. What would happen if someone had such thoughts—rarely so—or if someone slandered him for having other thoughts.And my A Huan, my beloved A Huan, and my Shou Li, if it was their turn, what would happen?

I saw the row of corpses with my own eyes.First-rank honorary officer, fourth-rank official, son of a princess, nephew of the emperor, brother-in-law, eldest son of the Zheng family, just like this hastily fell into a pool of blood. The children watched and discussed, which became a topic of conversation after dinner.

People who have stayed in the peace of the previous life for too long, if they come here and see such a tragedy, they may not suffer from heartache, but they may also suffer from heartache.I just fainted for a while, but I woke up on my own after an hour. I don't know whether it is because I have stayed here for a long time and I have cultivated a heart of stone, or because I am a cold-blooded person in my bones.

It's just that no matter how indifferent I am, when I think of those people in my dreams, I can't help feeling sorry for them, and the days like this are really too long.I looked at A Huan blankly, held her hand and asked her: "A Huan, tell me, how many more people will die?"

She didn't answer me, but just lightly kissed my forehead, caressed my face and said: "I checked the register the day before yesterday and saw Pei Lansheng's name. She is Pei Yan's nephew. Her husband was implicated and died on the road of exile. Report to my family that the family members will be confiscated in the palace, and now they are divided into Yeting. If you see her on the way, don't be surprised. If you want to take care of her, ask the people around you to order, don't make a big fuss."

The author has something to say: Notes (all from Baidu):

1. Abandoned city is a busy city where people gather to execute the death penalty on prisoners.To show the punishment abandoned by the public. "Book of Rites": "Punish people in the city, and abandon them with everyone."

Abandoning the market is a kind of death penalty, which has existed since the Shang and Zhou dynasties.Bamboo slips unearthed from the Qin tomb in Yunmengsuihudi, Hubei show that there were many types of death sentences in Qin Dynasty, such as car splitting, beheading in half, and owl's head, among which there were also abandoned markets.By the time of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, but it was slightly simplified. There were only three common methods of death penalty, one of which was abandoning the market.Abandoning the market was a common law until the Southern and Northern Dynasties.In the Sui Dynasty, for the first time, the death penalty was regularly decreed as beheading and hanging, without abandoning the market.So far, abandoning the city has been withdrawn from the regular law of death penalty, but it is still used to execute some heinous criminals.

2. Wang Jian please award:

Wang Jian, a famous general of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, a native of Dongxiang, Pinyang, Guanzhong, and an outstanding military strategist in the Qin Dynasty.

In 224 BC, Qin Wangzheng summoned a group of ministers to discuss the plan to destroy Chu. Wang Jian believed that "60 people must be", while Li Xin believed that "no more than 20 people" could defeat Chu. Qin Wangzheng was overjoyed and thought that Wang Jian was old. So he sent Li Xin and Meng Tian with 20 troops to attack Chu in the south.Therefore, Wang Jian resigned from the court due to illness and returned to his hometown.

Before long, the Chu army deliberately showed weakness, fought and retreated, retained elite troops to attack Li Xin from behind, smashed the two battalions of the Qin army, and beheaded seven captains of the Qin army. .

Qin Wangzheng was furious when he heard the news, and he took the express train to Pinyang himself. Seeing Wang Jian, he apologized and said: "Because I didn't follow your plan, Li Xin really made the Qin army suffer humiliation. I heard that the Chu army is on the way Pushing westward every day, the general is sick. Do you have the heart to abandon me?" Wang Jian evaded and said, "The old minister is sick and weak, and useless. I hope that the king will choose another good general." Qin Wangzheng apologized again and said: "Okay, please Don't say anything more, general!" Wang Jian said: "Your Majesty must use me, and you must give me 60 soldiers." Qin Wangzheng agreed: "Just listen to the general." So Wang Jian led 60 troops and set off. Since sending him to Bashang, Wang Jian had 60 soldiers in his hands. When he went out to the army, he asked the king of Qin to "invite many beautiful fields and gardens" and "invite the fields and houses for the success of his descendants". Qin Wangzheng laughed; Begging for Meitian, even the subordinates began to worry about whether it would be too much, and Wang Jian finally revealed his intention: "My husband, the king of Qin, does not trust people. Today, the soldiers of the state of Qin are entrusted to me. I don't ask Tian Zhai to help you The children and grandchildren are self-reliant, Gu Ling Qin Wang sits and doubts me?" It means that Qin Wang Yingzheng is suspicious by nature, and now all the soldiers of Qin State are in his hands. There is nothing else to ask for except money, so as to eliminate King Qin's doubts and fears that he would support himself with troops.
