The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 9 The Death of the Notorious Cruel Official Yang Xian!

"Demonstrating the peeling of daylilies?"

When Zhu Xiong Ying said this, all the officials in the court felt a jolt in their hearts!
The so-called "peeling daylily" was a form of torture. When Yang Xian was governing Yangzhou, one of his officials was corrupt. Yang Xian ordered his men to put the official in a sack and smash him to death. Then, his entire skin was peeled off, stuffed with straw, and placed at the entrance of the government office as a warning to everyone!
Such torture was unbearable not only for ordinary people, but even for the old ministers in the court who had fought alongside Zhu Yuanzhang through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, their eyes were filled with contempt.

Cruel officials are inherently enemies of the government.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

however,
Unlike many of his ministers, Yang Xian's face was full of joy at this moment!

The act of peeling daylilies was something that even Emperor Hongwu greatly praised.

Now that I have presented you with two auspicious gifts, and in addition to my merits as the prefect of Yangzhou, His Highness the Crown Prince is now asking me to demonstrate how to peel daylilies. His intentions are quite clear!

This is to establish prestige for oneself so that one can be promoted!
He was so excited that he wanted to kowtow to Zhu Xiong Ying twice!
Liu Bowen frowned deeply and could only sigh deeply.

He could already see that Yang Xian was bound to get into big trouble in the future, and that even he, as Yang Xian's nominal teacher, would be implicated.

Meanwhile, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen's apparent political enemy, also had a glint of shrewdness flash in his eyes.

Li Shanchang could tolerate Yang Xian rising to a high position; in fact, he was happy to see it happen.

But
He would not allow Yang Xian to be the first person that the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying would promote!
After His Majesty Hongwu returned from his tour, in order to maintain the dignity of the Crown Prince, Yang Xian would certainly remain firmly in power in the court!
"Your Highness, regarding this matter..."

Li Shanchang glanced at Zhu Xiong Ying, gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and spoke loudly.

Even if it offends His Highness, he will stop it!

A ten-year-old's memory wouldn't be this good. Besides, when Yang Xian reveals his cruel nature in the future, this Crown Prince might even be grateful to me!

In the imperial court, one cannot only look at the present; one must think a hundred steps ahead for every step taken! Li Shanchang understood this principle very well.

Unexpectedly, before Li Shanchang could finish speaking, he heard Zhu Xiong Ying chuckle from the high platform, and then point his finger:
"Since the Prefect of Yangzhou has agreed, Yu Huatian, what are you waiting for?"

"Come!"

Zhu Xiong Ying's laughter paused slightly, and then a murderous intent flashed in his eyes:
"General Yang Xian"

"Peel the daylily!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shanchang's attempts to dissuade him came to an abrupt halt!

The murmurs of the officials in the imperial court instantly vanished!
Only the four words "peeled daylily" resounded throughout the entire Fengtian Hall!

Xu Da suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Yang Xian's expression of ecstasy froze instantly, followed by disbelief at his ears: "Huh?"

what's the situation?
I had just presented my good fortune, and His Highness the Crown Prince kept praising me, even wanting to see the peeled daylily. How did the situation suddenly reverse in an instant, and now he wants to peel my skin off the daylily?

Yang Xian even turned around to see the reactions of the officials around him.

Even if Yang Xian doubted that he had misheard, he never doubted that Zhu Xiong Ying had made a mistake.

However.
The surrounding officials all had frozen expressions, confirming that there was nothing wrong with Yang Xian's ears.

"Peeling the skin off daylilies is a form of torture."

"Since we're going to demonstrate, we'll definitely use you, Yang Xian, as the model!"

"Are we supposed to just randomly pick one of these ministers in the court to demonstrate?"

Zhu Xiong Ying said innocently, "Besides, Yang Xian, you agreed to this yourself!"

"A gentleman values ​​his word. Since you are a gentleman, you must keep your promises!"

These words struck Yang Xian like a thunderbolt, making the prefect of Yangzhou tremble with fear!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Yang Xian spoke, his voice trembling.

Yu Huatian had already slowly descended from the platform and was walking towards him step by step. He clearly had a delicate, feminine face, was clearly dressed in noble clothes, and clearly didn't appear to be particularly imposing.
But
Yang Xian was scared!

He felt an unprecedented chill emanating from Yu Huatian!
All the military officers present tensed up and looked at Yu Huatian in unison!
This feeling was all too familiar to these military generals; it was...killing intent!
However, the murderous aura emanating from this white-robed eunuch with gold embroidery was different from the fierce murderous aura on the battlefield; it was cold and ruthless!
"Your Highness, I have changed my mind!"

In the face of life and death, Yang Xian seemed to forcefully break through the stutter in his throat with fear, and actually shouted it out loud.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Xian went limp and collapsed to his knees, his forehead hitting the floor of the Fengtian Hall, from which blood flowed.

"Oh? So you're not a gentleman then?"

Zhu Xiong's English tone rose slightly, then he roared angrily:

"I despise those who break their promises the most, so I sentence you to be skinned alive!"

Upon hearing this, the mouths of all the ministers twitched violently!
Good guy!
Agreeing is like peeling a daylily, and reneging is also like peeling a daylily!
And
These were all agreed to by you, Yang Xian, yourself!

As for Yu Huatian, would he listen to Yang Xian? He took a big step forward, walked up to Yang Xian, and then grabbed Yang Xian's neck tightly with his hand, like a strong pair of pliers.

"teacher"

Yang Xian's face flushed red, and he could only look helplessly at Liu Bowen, reaching out his hand as if seeking help.

Liu Bowen's face was extremely conflicted, and he was about to step forward to plead for Yang Xian.

Unexpectedly,

The next instant, Yu Huatian moved!
"What more can I say in response to Your Highness's judgment!"

Having said that, he suddenly exerted his strength, and Yang Xian, like a windmill, was suddenly spun around in the air under the control of Yu Huatian's one hand.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, a muffled thud rang out!

Blood splattered everywhere!

Cracks are rampant on the floor tiles of Fengtian Hall!

Yang Xian, a notorious cruel official during the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty, treated the people of Yangzhou like animals, exploiting them solely for political achievements.

With one blow,
He actually fainted!

Yu Huatian gave a cold laugh, and then reached out and slammed his hammer down!
"what!"

A bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, echoed throughout the entire Fengtian Hall!

The blow struck Yang Xian squarely in the spine, causing him excruciating pain and waking him up, but it was not fatal!

Yang Xian's distorted face clearly told the civil and military officials just how painful this blow was!
"Ah!"

A soft laugh rang out, and Yu Huatian dragged Yang Xian out of the Fengtian Hall like a dead dog.

The spies from the Western Depot were already prepared with sharp knives and stood waiting!
"Your Highness!"

"Not allowed, Your Highness!"

Shouts rang out, and the civil and military officials still wanted to say something.

However, Zhu Xiong Ying remained indifferent and unmoved.

"what!"

Soon, screams rang out outside the Fengtian Hall!
The spies from the Western Depot were incredibly fast.

The sunlight outside the hall seemed to be stained with blood!
The pupils of all the civil and military officials trembled violently!

Peeled daylily!

Actually
Did they really do it?!
