Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Beijing.

On this day, the people got up early as usual and started the day's hard work.

It was nearly noon and the sun was shining brightly.

People who had been busy all morning returned home for lunch.

But at this moment, a shocking news suddenly broke the silence of the capital.

The chief minister of the cabinet!

Liu Dun, known as Liu Qingtian, was suddenly accused of treason by the emperor and thrown into the sky prison.

This news is really shocking.

The people who had just heard the news couldn't believe it was true.

How could a good official like Mr. Liu possibly conspire to rebel?

Framed!

Yes, this must be a false accusation!

Compared with the anger of the people, the officials in the DPRK seemed very calm about it.

It seemed that they had anticipated this incident.

Liu Dun has been an upright and honest official over the years and has offended countless powerful people.

Even when a royal family committed a crime, he sentenced him to death without mercy.

There are many people in the government and the public who have long wanted to kill him.

But it turns out that the late emperor valued Liu Dun very much during his reign, so he was able to survive to this day.

But unfortunately, the previous emperor passed away a few months ago and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, but he did not love the people like his son.

What the new emperor especially didn't like was that there was an upright courtier in the court, who often advised him to be a wise king.

What's good about Mingjun?

Aren't you tired?

Therefore, the new emperor was very disgusted with Liu Dun, and his attitude finally gave those in the court who had long wanted Liu Dun dead an opportunity.

As a result, during this period, there were suddenly more and more voices criticizing Liu Dun from both the government and the public.

The new emperor also added fuel to the flames and often used specious accusations to beat Liu Dun, which naturally fueled the arrogance of some powerful people.

So just this morning, a team of people suddenly rushed into Liu Dun's house and dug out a large box from the backyard.

And in that box, there were actually dragon robes and various things that could only be used by the emperor.

Reporting the matter to the new emperor naturally made the new emperor "furious", so he immediately issued an order to have Liu Dun's family imprisoned for treason.

In the next few days, the new emperor ordered his courtiers to interrogate Liu Dun, and completed the process very quickly, convicting Liu Dun of treason.

The speed of his conviction was as if the entire court wanted Liu Dun to die.

Of course, it's not like there's no one at all who wants to defend Liu Dun.

But unfortunately, before those people could open their mouths, they were already approached and warned.

If anyone refuses to listen to the advice, he will be directly demoted from the capital, or even thrown into a prison for trial.

For a time, the government and the public were in turmoil. Some people were gloating about the misfortune, while others were lamenting the injustice of the court.

But no matter what, Liu Dun's death sentence cannot be changed.

It seemed that the imperial court couldn't wait for Qiu Hou to ask for beheading, and Liu Dun's whole family was directly sentenced to be beheaded.

The day of execution is the day when the crime is pronounced.

On the huge execution platform, Liu Dun and his family were forced to kneel on the ground.

Under the execution platform, there were angry people.

Countless people shouted for Liu Dun!

Countless people petitioned for Liu Dun!

Countless people cursed the imperial court for being stupid and immoral!

But unfortunately, the power of the people was too weak and they could not change what the emperor had decided.

Even if this thing is wrong!

Teams of soldiers pointed their swords at the people outside, not allowing anyone to get close to the execution platform.

The executioner's face was cold, but there was sadness deep in his eyes.

Obviously, he knew that Liu Dun was innocent.

It's a pity that others are soft-spoken and have low power, so they cannot and dare not speak up for Liu Dun.

"Liu Dun, the execution is about to begin. Is there anything else you want to say?"

The executioner asked in a gentle tone.

"In my life, I am worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the people, and worthy of the court. The only thing I owe is my family."

He looked at his wife and children next to him: "Hey, you have followed me all these years and you have not enjoyed any blessings. Instead, you are always worried about it. In the end, you will be implicated by me. I..."

"Dad, what are you talking about? You are an honest official and serve the people wholeheartedly. You are the person I have admired most since I was a child."

"Yes, Dad, you have planned everything for the world your whole life, and my daughter has never felt that she was implicated by you."

"Dad, you said that people will die eventually, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Although my daughter doesn't know where Mount Tai is, she feels that what you said is right."

"When we are alive in this world, we should do something for the people of this world."

Looking at the family.

Liu Dun sighed: "That sentence was not said by dad, but by sir, so dad doesn't know where Taishan is."

"Hey, before the accident happened, dad had already arranged for manpower to escort you to your husband's place."

"After all, if something happens to dad, we can't let you die together. But I didn't expect that their actions were faster than I expected, which is why you were unable to leave the capital."

"Back then, my husband said that the royal family was ruthless, and it was indeed so!"

At this time, the execution time finally arrived.

At the executioner's order, the heads of Liu Dun and his family were pressed on the guillotine, and the executioners stood behind them one by one.

In the palace.

The new emperor sat high on the dragon chair and looked coldly at the sky outside.

"Is the time here?" he suddenly asked.

The old eunuch next to him responded: "Replying to your majesty, we have arrived. It must be time for execution over there."

"Um."

The new emperor nodded: "Daban, do you also think that I am ruthless and ruthless, even wanting to kill an upright official like Liu Dun?"

"Your Majesty naturally has your reasons for killing Liu Dun. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. As a minister, Liu Dun should be willing to accept the favor or punishment from your majesty without any complaints."

The old eunuch said in a cowardly manner, and the slave's face was clearly revealed.

"Hey, I can't help it."

The new emperor sighed: "Of course I know that Liu Dun is an upright official, but what he pretends to be is the people of the world, not me, the emperor."

"Although honest officials are good, the emperor wants loyal ministers, ministers who are only loyal to me. What's more, Liu Dun has offended too many people."

"I am not my father. I seem to be the emperor, but my prestige in the court is not stable, so I must win over those powerful people."

"For this reason, Liu Dun must die."

The new emperor suddenly laughed at himself: "It's ridiculous. Everyone says that the emperor is supreme and the most noble person in the world. But who would have thought that after I ascended the throne, I, the emperor, would actually have to hand over my name to those ministers? It's so slippery. The greatest evil in the world."

That's right, from the new emperor's own point of view, his execution of Liu Dun today is no different from handing over certificates to those powerful people.

People say that if the king wants his subjects to die, they will have to die.

But it was good for him as an emperor, because one of his ministers wanted another minister to die, so he had to kill him.

It is so frustrating to be such an emperor.

There was a cold look in the new emperor's eyes, and even the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped a lot.

He did not like Liu Dun, but wanting to kill him and being forced to kill him by others were two completely different things.
