A long, long time ago, Dorgon never thought that he would end up like this.
A gust of cold wind blows along Dorgon's collar and pours it inside.
Dorgon shuddered, then closed his eyes.
Duo Duo was next to Dorgon. At this time, he had turned into a pile of mud. If it weren't for two fat soldiers supporting him, he would probably collapse to the ground.
The people under the high platform looked at the scene in front of them and shouted loudly.
"Kill him, kill him, kill him!"
The people were so excited that they shouted loudly at Dorgon.
Dorgon's body kept shaking, and his legs went limp involuntarily.
As the time passed bit by bit, noon had arrived.
A middle-aged scholar walked to the front of the high platform with a scroll. He looked at the people below the high platform, slowly opened the scroll in his hand, and began to count Dorgon's crimes in detail.
When he finished reading, he put away the scroll and looked at Dorgon and the others.
"It's already noon, verify the integrity, and the punishment will be announced!"
Accompanied by shouts, the soldiers escorting Dorgon and the others led Dorgon and the others to the front of the high platform, and pushed them down on wooden stakes more than three feet high in front of the high platform.
Dorgon's right face was pressed against the wooden stake, a cold chill surged up, and he closed his eyes.
Dorgon's body trembled more and more violently, and he knew that his own death had arrived, although he didn't want to believe it, but there was nothing he could do.
"Execution!"
There was a burst of shouting, and the executioner, who had already been prepared, walked in front of Dorgon and the others.
They raised their big knives and slashed at the necks of Dorgon and the others.
A flash of saber flashed, and Dorgon completely closed his eyes, and it was impossible to open them again in the future.
The people below the high platform let out exclamations of excitement and kept shouting.
At the same time, the workers in the ironworks also obtained the portraits and detailed physical data of Dorgon and Duoduo.
After they got these data, they started to make the kneeling statues of Dorgon and Duoduo.
The officials in charge of the execution returned to the General Military Mansion and told Zhao Wen about the death of Dorgon Duoduo and others.
Sitting in the hall, Zhao Wen waved his hands at the officials who came to report, "Go down and tell the ironworks that we must speed up these few days and get Dorgon's kneeling statue out as soon as possible."
"Obey!" The official cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, and then walked outside.
Zhao Wen stood up from his chair and looked at Li Xiaosan next to him, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, come on, follow me to the streets and do some shopping along the way."
In fact, even if Zhao Wen doesn't go out, there will be special people to buy new year's goods.
Li Xiaosan hurriedly brought a dozen or so personal guards in plain clothes, and followed Zhao Wen towards the front.
Not long after, Zhao Wen came to the street outside.
There are more and more pedestrians on the street, and the number of small merchants and hawkers on both sides of the street has also increased.
Small merchants and vendors kept shouting loudly on both sides of the street, attracting the attention of passers-by.
The people kept bargaining with the vendors in front of the vendors. Although the people in Xuan Town were very rich now, they still bargained.The ability to bargain seems to be engraved in his bones, and he will never abandon it no matter what.
Zhao Wen walked on both sides of the street. Looking at the bustling scene on the street, he said: "Although Xuanzhen is extremely prosperous today, the people in Shanxi are still very poor. If we want the people in Shanxi to become like Xuanzhen, we must I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."
Zhao Wen kept thinking about how to manage the people in Shanxi in his mind.
It has been less than a year since Shanxi was taken by Zhao Wen, and now the land is only distributed to the local people.
Although this incident is a very worthwhile celebration for the local people, it is far from meeting Zhao Wen's requirements.
In Zhao Wen's conception, Shanxi should at least be like Xuanzhen in the future. I dare not say that it will completely reach Xuanzhen's appearance, but at least it will reach half of Xuanzhen.
At this moment, a familiar voice came to Zhao Wen's ears.
Zhao Wen looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a middle-aged scholar standing next to a soap vendor, holding a piece of soap in his hand, and bargaining with the vendor.
"I said that your stuff is really too expensive. An osmanthus-flavored soap will cost me five cents. This is really too expensive. Can you sell it for two cents?"
This middle-aged scholar was none other than Lu Xiangsheng who had been to Xuanzhen once before.
Now he is holding a cardboard box wrapped in wax paper in his hand, looking at the street vendor, and bargaining with the street vendor non-stop. At this moment, he still doesn't look like a scholar.
"My lord, this is a small business. I paid four cents for the purchase price. It would be a real loss if I sold it to you for two cents. I can't even get back the cost.
My lord, you can raise it a bit more, two cents of copper coins really can't be sold, if I sell it, I won't lose money to death! "The peddler said to Lu Xiangsheng earnestly.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he hesitated, he kept looking at the soap in his hand, smelling it again and again.
"This thing is really useful, it's really good, how about it, will you sell it for three cents of copper coins? If you don't sell it, then I'll leave? If you sell me for three cents of silver, I can buy more. What do you think?" Like?" Lu Xiangsheng pointed at the soap in his hand and looked at the peddler.
Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's voice, the peddler's face was full of solemnity. After a while, the peddler pretended to be heartbroken, and then gritted his teeth, "My lord, the little one is sold. Today you are the first one to buy soap." Yes, the small ones should be opened. I don’t know how much you want to buy, sir?”
"Give me ten osmanthus scented ones, ten jasmine scented ones, and ten laundry soaps." Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the soap in the vendor's tricycle compartment and said to the vendor.
"Come on, my lord, wait a moment, I'll wrap it up for you right away." The vendor said, taking out some wax paper, wrapped up the soap that Lu Xiangsheng needed, and handed it to Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng took the soap and put it in the cloth bag he was carrying.
"My lord, seeing how much you bought, I'll give you a soap box." The vendor took out a wooden soap box from the compartment of the tricycle and handed it to Lu Xiangsheng.
When Lu Xiangsheng saw that he was also giving away a soap box, he instantly felt that the price he had just paid was too high.
But now that the price has been negotiated, even if you want to go back on your word, you can't do it.
Lu Xiangsheng took out the copper coins, handed them to the peddler, and then took the soap box.
"Master, go slowly, come again!" The peddler said to Lu Xiangsheng with a smile.
Lu Xiangsheng snorted softly, turned around and was about to leave.
Zhao Wen looked at Lu Xiangsheng who was about to leave, and walked over directly.
"Mr. Lu!" Zhao Wen walked behind Lu Xiangsheng and called Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
Lu Xiangsheng turned around and looked at Zhao Wen.
"Lord Chief Soldier!" Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhao Wen's smiling face, and instantly recognized Lu Xiangsheng, and he was about to salute Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen waved his hand and said with a smile, "This is outside, so there's no need to be like that. Why do you remember me, Xuanzhen?"
"Oh, it's hard to say!" Lu Xiangsheng let out a long sigh.
"Let's go, let's go to a quiet place and have a good chat." Zhao Wen said and led Lu Xiangsheng to an inn not far away.
Lu Xiangsheng held a cloth bag in his hand, which contained the soap he bought just now, and followed behind Zhao Wen.
Not long after, Zhao Wen brought Lu Xiangsheng to the inn.
As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper standing behind the counter recognized Zhao Wen.
The shopkeeper hurried out of the counter and walked towards Zhao Wen.
Looking at the shopkeeper who came over to salute, Zhao Wen waved his hand, "No need to salute, just arrange a room for me."
"Obey!" The shopkeeper replied, then bowed his body, "My lord, please!"
The shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation, and then led Zhao Wen towards the second floor.
Now because it is not a meal time, there are fewer people eating, so there are many empty rooms on the second floor.
The shopkeeper chose a well-decorated and well-located room, and brought Zhao Wen in.
Zhao Wen walked into the room and said to the shopkeeper: "You go down first, if I need anything later, someone will notify you!"
The shopkeeper saluted Zhao Wen, and then walked down.
Zhao Wen sat at the round table in the middle of the room. He pointed to the stool opposite him and looked at Lu Xiangsheng, "Sit down!"

Chapter 557 Are you interested in doing things with me?
Zhao Wen sat on the chair and looked at Lu Xiangsheng, "Sit down!"
Lu Xiangsheng saluted Zhao Wen, thanked him, and then sat opposite Zhao Wen.
When Lu Xiangsheng sat down, Zhao Wen asked, "Why do you have time to come to my Xuan Town? I remember that you went back to your hometown before? Why did you come to me all the way?"
Zhao Wen didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng came to Xuanzhen, so he was a little curious about how Lu Xiangsheng came to Xuanzhen.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard Zhao Wen's question, he couldn't help sighing: "Oh, it's hard to explain, I originally went to the capital, but unfortunately there is no place for me in the capital now.
I'm like a rat crossing the street in the capital, and I don't like to be seen, so I wanted to go out to relax, thinking that there was no place to go near the capital, so I came here. "
"Go to the capital? Do you still want to serve the imperial court now? I didn't say that the imperial court is no longer what it was before. I don't tell you what the imperial court looks like now.
The Ming Dynasty has been established for nearly 300 years, and the accumulated disadvantages have long been hard to recover. To achieve results in this environment, it is simply a matter that is even more difficult than reaching the sky.
Now the capital is full of treacherous ministers, you might as well come to me if you go to the capital.I am in need of manpower right now, as long as you are willing to come, I will definitely employ you heavily. "
Zhao Wen didn't talk too much, and directly expressed his thoughts.
Lu Xiangsheng is a very capable person. In history, he and Sun Chuanting formed the last line of defense of the Ming Dynasty. When Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting died, the Ming Dynasty also ran out of fuel.
Lu Xiangsheng has a lot of ability in managing the army. Historically, the Tianxiong army he led was invincible and beat the bandits to pieces.
In the end, if it wasn't for the eunuch Gao Qiqian, Lu Xiangsheng would not have died in Julu.
If Lu Xiangsheng hadn't died, then the history of the Ming Dynasty would have been very different.
In later generations, when Zhao Wen saw the history of Lu Xiangsheng, he admired and sympathized with Lu Xiangsheng in his heart.
Now that Zhao Wen saw Lu Xiangsheng, he really wanted to keep Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng is a capable and capable person. Zhao Wen doesn't think there are too many people like Lu Xiangsheng, and he hopes that there will be more.
Lu Xiangsheng stared at Zhao Wen's sincere eyes, and was a little taken aback. He never thought that Zhao Wen would so decisively recruit him.
Lu Xiangsheng said with some hesitation: "My lord, I really want to make some achievements in Xuan Town and benefit the people.
But this incident was a bit too sudden, plus I didn't come to Xuanzhen alone, I came to Xuanzhen with my younger brother.This matter is really important, I want to discuss it with my younger brother. "
It's not that Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to follow Zhao Wen, it's just that it happened so suddenly that Lu Xiangsheng wasn't ready yet.
Originally, Lu Xiangsheng was still an official of the imperial court. Although he has no official position now, he is still a subject of the imperial court. Although Lu Xiangsheng has made preparations for the past few days, when something happened suddenly, Lu Xiangsheng still had some scruples in his heart.
"What's wrong with this? My Xuanzhen is not an imperial court. As long as you have the ability, I will reuse you, regardless of your background. Do you know Hong Chengchou? This guy brought an army to attack before. Xuanzhen, but what about now? I have done a good job under my command, and I was sent to the country of Wa. I guess he will come back during the Chinese New Year this year.
You and Hong Chengchou were officials in the same dynasty. I don't know if you know him, but you two definitely have a common language. "Zhao Wen told the news about Hong Chengchou.
Although Lu Xiangsheng was not familiar with Hong Chengchou, both of them were officials in the same dynasty, so they also knew Hong Chengchou.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard Zhao Wen say that Hong Chengchou was also working under him now, he looked at Zhao Wen in surprise, "My lord, I remember that the court said that Hong Chengchou died in the battle in Xuanzhen before, why is he working under my lord now? What's going on?"
In fact, the court didn't know about Hong Chengchou's surrender to Zhao Wen at all. The court always thought that Hong Chengchou died in Xuanzhen.
Since Hong Chengchou surrendered to Zhao Wen, Zhao Wen sent Hong Chengchou to the Wa Kingdom. Hong Chengchou had never appeared on the ground of Daming, so the court did not know about Hong Chengchou's surrender to Zhao Wen.
"How about this matter, let me tell you roughly, the matter is like this..." Zhao Wen roughly told Lu Xiangsheng about Hong Chengchou's matter.
Lu Xiangsheng listened to Zhao Wen's voice, his eyes were on Zhao Wen's body, and he didn't leave for a moment.
"If your younger brother is also willing to work in my Xuan Town, as long as they have outstanding abilities, then I will also arrange for them. In fact, in my Xuan Town, there were many officials from the imperial court in the past. The former governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua, is now in my office. Xuanzhen." Zhao Wen said.
When Zhao Wen finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng said: "My lord, this matter is very important. In fact, I also have the intention of being loyal to the commander-in-chief, but my two younger brothers still have some concerns, so I want to separate them. Let me persuade you, and then I will take my younger brother to serve as the commander-in-chief."
"This is the best!" Zhao Wen laughed.
"My lord, I still have some questions I want to ask Mr. Zongbing. I wonder if Mr. Zongbing can explain it to me." Lu Xiangsheng said in a calm voice.
Zhao Wendao: "Just ask, as long as I can explain it, I will explain it to you one by one,"
"My lord, it's like this. I just want to ask, if one day the commander-in-chief will bring peace to the world, then should he enter and deal with the current emperor?" Lu Xiangsheng's question was a bit fierce. If it was someone else, maybe He would also think that Lu Xiangsheng was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han.
Lu Xiangsheng knew that his question was a bit intense, so when he finished asking, he looked at Zhao Wen nervously.
The reason why Lu Xiangsheng asked Zhao Wen like this is because this question can best reveal what kind of person Zhao Wen is.
Zhao Wen chuckled, and said indifferently: "I know what you want to ask, and I can tell you clearly that if I unify the whole world, I will not be violent against the current emperor.
It will not completely kill the former royal family like the change of dynasty in history.The current emperor, I will let him stay in a place where no one knows him, and slowly retire to the old age, and let him die. "
