Chapter Twenty-Eight: Killing the Cane (Asking for Recommendation Votes and Collections)

Wang Chengen, who walked in, and Wei Zhongxian, who turned his head, saw a large number of palace guards pouring into the imperial study, and soon came out again, arresting all the eunuchs in the imperial study, and Yang Xiude, the eunuch in the imperial study, was also impressively listed.

Obviously, Zhu Youzhen is going to be ruthless, and he wants to kill all the eunuchs in the imperial study!

Seeing this scene, the eunuchs outside did not have the meaning of the rabbit dying and the fox sad at all, but kept sneering and ridiculing: "The eunuchs in the imperial study always look high on weekdays, looking down on us and others, looking down on that, and now they are not dead under the stick, they deserve it!"

Wei Zhongxian secretly sighed for those eunuchs, but his footsteps did not delay, and walked quickly towards the outside of the palace.

Dongchang, or Dongzhi Factory, was a privileged supervision agency, secret service and secret police agency in the Ming Dynasty of China.

In the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420), Ming Chengzu set up the Dongji Factory (referred to as the East Factory), which was headed by a close eunuch.

The location is located in the north of Dong'anmen in Jingshi (now Beijing) (next to Donghua Gate) in the late Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories are side by side, and the activities are strengthened, and they are often collectively called "Factory Guard".

Dongchang's power is above Jinyiwei, and it is only responsible to the emperor, and without the approval of the judicial organs, it can supervise the arrest of subjects at will, so as to open the end of eunuch interference.

The types of work in the Dongchang factory have special names, such as "listening" for those who monitor the officials of the various ministries of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, the honorable relatives, the interrogation of the prisoners, and the torture of criminals by the Jinyi guards.

In addition to these transcripts, the most common are the interviewers who are scattered in various local government offices, and these people are called "zaji".

There are also measures taken by a certain official, or when a certain city gate is caught and a key offender is arrested, the person who reports to the east factory is called "beating incident", no matter what kind of factory service is ranked from top to bottom, it is divided into 12 branches.

That night, the East Factory prison.

There are also the darkest corners at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and even before you enter this underground prison, you can already hear all kinds of voices coming from the depths.

For example, the 'snapping' sound of the leather whip on the body, and the eunuchs in the imperial study who were recently arrested.

As soon as Wang Chengen entered the Dongchang prison, he saw the embroidered spring double knife hanging on the wall, which was the official style of the Dongchang.

The handle of the left knife is engraved with the word "East", the other knife is engraved with the word "factory", and the word "East Factory" is combined with the knife, which is exquisite, and it is said that the iron is sharpened like clay.

In fact, during the Zhengde period, the staff of the East Factory who were equipped with the above sample embroidered spring double knives were the eagle dogs with a very high status in the East Factory, and they were a symbol of the status of the East Factory and the opposition.

At this time, several factory servants in blue and white uniforms, each holding something that ordinary people couldn't understand, led by a grim smile on the head of the stall, said:

"Your Majesty can't wait for me, why can't you keep your mouth shut and leak the news in the palace?

There's nothing more to say, the emperor's grace is mighty. I can only do my best to satisfy you.

Come and give me a hard beating, and teach these things a lesson!"

After the stall head finished speaking, several big men next to him surrounded him, and the spirit whip in his hand swung down heavily.

Suddenly, the sound of a ghost crying wolf sounded in the East Factory. There were even a few people who couldn't hold on to the past, and it happened that the one who reported the news was among them.

......

The next day, the court meeting ended, and the first assistant of the cabinet, Huang Liji, the university student of Wenyuange, Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, and the officials above the six ministries, including some officials who had already paid tribute, were summoned to the palace.

When the civil officials passed by Chengtianmen Square, they found that the square had been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and there were about several thousand people.

Wang Chengen, Wei Zhongxian, Cao Huachun, Wang Dehua, Lu Jiude, Xu Yingyuan and other eunuch leaders also came, standing in front of the crowd, each dressed in official uniforms and wearing red robes on their backs, full of the smell of slaughter.

Although the civil officials were not interested in these eunuchs, they were the people around the emperor after all, so they also squeezed out a smile and greeted each other.

Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty asked you to wait here, there is a good show to watch." ”

Huang Liji, Guo Yunhou and Han Huang were puzzled: "Princess, I don't know what kind of show it is? ”

Wang Chengen said perfunctorily: "It's nothing, just watch the show with the three adults." ”

The three of them were so shrewd, they understood Wang Chengen's perfunctory meaning at once, and obviously didn't want to tell them.

Han Huang stroked his extremely delicately combed beard and said with a smile: "Huang Shoufu, since this place is so lively, let's stay here and have a look." ”

Huang Li bowed his head and smiled: "This official also has this intention. ”

When Cao Huachun heard this, he suddenly smiled predictively: "Don't worry, the three adults, the next good show will definitely be exciting!"

When Han Huang heard this, he aroused the curiosity in his heart, and said with a smile: "This official is a little looking forward to it!"

......

In a short time, hundreds of guards were divided into two columns, all holding spirit swords and standing upright to the side.

Huang Liji, Guo Yunhou, and Han Huang looked at each other, all with serious faces, thinking that the eunuchs were going to behead and kill people in Chengtianmen Square?

Isn't that presumptuous?

About half an hour later, after everyone had arrived, Wang Chengen, as the commander of Dongchang, stood up and shouted loudly: "Today, I will call the big guys over to follow Your Majesty's will and let the big guy take a good look at what happened to the dog who betrayed His Majesty." ”

After that, Wang Chengen shouted at Dongchang Fanzi: "Bring someone to commit a crime!"

Then, hundreds of wolf-like Dongchang fanzi escorted more than 50 people over, among these people, there were eunuchs in the imperial study, palace maids, guards, grooms, and even imperial doctors.

It turned out that under the interrogation of the East Factory last night, it was not without any results. No, all of these who have gone to communicate outside the palace have been confessed.

Looking at these people, Wang Chengen did not have the slightest mercy, and said coldly: "What cause you sow, what effect you get." Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has really treated the big guy as if he were his own family.

His Majesty was so benevolent, seeing that the low-level eunuchs and palace maids had difficulty in seeing a doctor, His Majesty set up an internal hospital to treat the big guys;

Seeing that everyone's income is meager, His Majesty specially gave everyone a monthly increase;

Seeing that everyone did not have the exercises to cultivate, His Majesty specially asked the powerhouses of the Spirit Infant Realm in the inner court to teach the exercises.

It stands to reason that Your Majesty has done so much for the big guys, it can be described as a reinvention of grace, even if the big guy goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire for His Majesty, it is difficult to repay His Majesty's kindness in case!

But there is a group of dogs who will take revenge, just for a little profit, so they colluded with foreign officials, leaked news in the palace, and betrayed His Majesty.

Pull these dogs into the square and kill them!"
