This day is the first day of the twelfth month, the routine of the pilgrimage, all the Beijing officials and local officials who come to Beijing to report on their work must attend the court meeting, so although the weather is solemn, it is very lively outside the noon gate, it is still a scene of three o'clock, and the officials of various ministries and departments have almost arrived. At this time, it was still dark and deep, and there was only the light of scattered lanterns around, and the sedan cars and horses of the officials were crowded one after another, until there was no end in sight at the other end of the Jinshui Bridge. Fu Qian commanded the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to rectify the order in the queue, and when he was busy, he suddenly heard a few crisp whips in the direction of the forbidden palace, and then the order of "the emperor to drive the palace to clear the palace" sounded one after another, and the heavy palace door slowly opened.

Fu Qian hurriedly entered the ranks, and today Lu Wen was far away, so he stood at the head of the team and led a group of civil ministers and military generals to enter the palace from the left and right.

The door of the Fengtian Temple is wide open, the hall has been lit with the tribute candle with the thickness of the child's arm, illuminating the four parts of the bright, the dragon and the phoenix on the golden top are about to fly, the entwined branches of the crocus pattern are complicated and disorderly, and the people can't open their eyes. The brocade-clothed guards lined up under the eaves outside the hall, standing with swords, and were heavily guarded. Fu Qian led the officials into the hall and stood in a fixed position, and then heard the imperial eunuch outside the hall shout in a shrill voice: "The emperor has arrived-" Everyone raised their eyes slightly, only to see that Zhu Shiyang was already wearing a dragon robe, wearing golden boots, wearing a black gauze crown, lifting his clothes, and stepping into the hall proudly.

Fu Qian and the others didn't dare to look up, and hurriedly shouted on the ground: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." The cries came and went, and they never entered the gate of Fengtian, echoing in the sky above the Forbidden City.

Zhu Shiyang walked up to the throne in a hurry, but he didn't tell everyone to get up, only slowly straightened the hem of his clothes on his knees, and called Shuangxi to him, and whispered a few words, and Shuangxi agreed. Zhu Shiyang glanced around the hall with a calm face, and saw that Lu Wenyuan's position was empty, and said coldly: "Shoufu didn't come today?"

Fu Qian heard this, hurriedly knelt down and walked out of the queue in two steps, straightened up and played: "Back to the emperor, Shoufu is unwell today, so he will take a day off." ”

Zhu Shiyang was noncommittal and snorted coldly. Fu Qian saw that his face was gloomy and uncertain, and he didn't know if Gui Xi didn't bring his words or what, and saw that Zhu Shiyang didn't mean to tell him to be equal to the officials, so he had to kneel down again and enter the ranks, lying on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

There was silence in the hall at this time, Zhu Shiyang no longer spoke, and only knocked the jasper wrench on the throne without a moment, making a crisp sound. The sound was unhurried, but it made people panic when they heard it. Fu Qian and Zhao Yongning glanced at each other secretly, and they both felt that something was wrong. The officials outside the hall were even more ignorant of the situation in the hall, so they had to kneel quietly in the biting cold wind.

After a long time, I heard a sound of rustling on the throne, and it turned out that Shuangxi had returned, holding a stack of music in his hand. Zhu Shiyang commanded: "Read." ”

Shuangxi opened a note and read it in a loud voice: "Impeachment: Lu Wenyuan, the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry, is gentle and charming, invites favor and strengthens power, clamps down on the speech officials, obscures Shengcong, dictates and disrupts the government, recklessly loses favor, seeks disloyalty to the country, begs Shengming to control his power, don't follow the same path......"

Zhu Shiyang interrupted him and said, "Just read the signature at the end." ”

Shuangxi hurriedly bowed down and agreed "yes", opened the music one by one, and read aloud:

"The criminal department gave Wang Huai in the matter,

Imperial History Yan Jun of the Metropolitan Procuratorate,

The criminal department gave Han Fu in the matter,

Chen Erchang in the engineering department,

Zhong Shaoyun, Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate,

Yuan Shijun in the military department,

……”

There were more than 20 people who had been reciting, and when he read a sentence, the imperial eunuchs standing inside and outside the hall sang a sentence loudly, and one after another did not enter the Fengtian Gate, one after another. All the officials who attended the early dynasty listened to their ears, and they didn't know what the emperor was doing. After reciting for half an hour, I heard another decree coming, saying, "The officials whose names have just been read will go out in the hall and enter the hall outside the hall." ”

The officials couldn't help but look left and right secretly, and saw that there were many civil officials wearing dark green court uniforms, most of whom were speech officials who served in the Six Departments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and walked out of the lengthy official procession, and were nervously led by the imperial eunuchs, up the white marble steps, into the Fengtian Palace, and knelt down in turn.

Zhu Shiyang sat coldly all the time, and then said, "Do you know why I announced you in?"

When the officials whose names were read entered the hall, they noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and they all knelt in one place in cringe, secretly you look at me, I look at you, which one dares to speak out. Zhu Shiyang laughed and said: "Aren't all of them quite eloquent on weekdays? Why are they turned into saw-mouthed gourds now?" took a few pieces from Shuangxi's hand, threw them far away from the hall, and said: "Look, this is all written by you, isn't it? Impeach me for misrelationship with the first assistant, you are also bold, and on weekdays, you dare to ride on my head to and pee, I will teach you a lesson today, let you see, whether it is me or the ancestral system!"

Speaking of the second half, it is already very loud. The officials knew that it was not good, and there was a look of panic on their faces, Fu Qian, Zhao Yongning and others did not expect the emperor to suddenly attack, it was too late to dissuade him, and Lu Wenyuan was not there, so no one dared to come out easily. That Zhu Shiyang had already called out sharply: "Someone!"

The brocade guards standing outside the hall entered the hall to listen to the announcement. Zhu Shiyang's anger finally broke out after enduring most of the time, and shouted: "Drag this group of thieves and rebels to me and beat them hard! Since my warning was useless before, let them suffer some real hardships today!"

The Jinyi guards suddenly agreed, and they came forward to surround all the officials, although these officials were bitter, but they were all powerless scholars, where could they have earned the strong Jinyi guards? More than 20 people were quickly dragged over in turn in the open space in the hall, and the leader of the Jinyi Guard gave an order, and the court staff was beaten down mercilessly.

The hall was in chaos, and the officials soon saw blood on their bodies, and some of the ministers kneeling beside them were afraid of being splashed, so they panicked and wanted to hide, but they were ordered to return to their original places by the brocade guards guarding around them. The tortured officials screamed very bitterly, not to mention it. In the blink of an eye, there have been more than forty beatings, Fu Qian, Zhao Yongning and others are more and more panicked, the court staff for this torture is specially made by the inner court, the hollow is filled with mercury, ordinary people are beaten to thirty or fifty times, and few faint without pain, if they are beaten by hundreds of times, a small life will almost be explained, if they don't stop at this time, these twenty or so people are afraid that they will be killed on the spot in a while.

Fu Qian didn't dare to sit back and watch anymore, so he had to kneel down and say: "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor's subordinates to show mercy and spare their lives." In a hurry, I didn't care about any big truths, just blindly begged, and Zhao Yongning, Shen Wenbin and others also came out to advise.

Although Zhu Shiyang was in a rage, he also knew that it was not right to punish the official, and if he caused a fatality, he was afraid that the situation would be more difficult to control, so he looked at Jinyiwei with a gloomy face and beat him more than ten times, before he said coldly: "Okay." ”

The brocade guards immediately withdrew their hands and retreated. Most of the more than 20 officials had passed out, and the few who were awake were also dying and delirious. The clothes around his waist were all shattered, mixed with flesh and blood, a piece of mud, and the broken tendons in the flesh were faintly visible. In addition to blood, there were also a lot of pieces of minced meat scattered on the ground, all of which were knocked down from the bodies of the officials. On weekdays, the emperor punishes ministers who say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, and it is enough to give him a maximum of thirty or forty strokes, but today he is a dead hand, and there are seventy or eighty strokes to say the least.

The solemn and solemn Fengtian Hall on weekdays is really a mess at the moment, with blood flowing all over the ground, like an execution ground. The ministers kneeling around them not only did not dare to roll their eyes, but they even had to be careful to breathe, for fear of inhaling blood.

The brocade guards were accustomed to seeing such scenes, killing and burying, and carried the officials who couldn't move with the door panels, and sent them out of the palace with blood dripping all the way. The officials who went to court outside the hall were still not very clear about the situation in the palace, but now they saw these people entering in a good manner, but their flesh and blood came out in a blur, and they were so frightened that they were silent.

Zhu Shiyang looked at the courtiers trembling at his feet with contempt, and said coldly: "Retreat from the court!"

But said that although Lu Wenyuan did not go to the court that day, he still got up early, freshened up properly, read a book for a while, and slowly had some breakfast. Unexpectedly, the family went out for less than a moment, but turned back and said, "Master, Master Fu is here, saying that there is an urgent matter." ”

Lu Wenyuan was a little surprised, and wanted to get up and go to the front hall to greet him, but he saw that Fu Qian had already found himself in, and his steps were hurried, leaving the family behind him more than a foot behind, and seeing that he was standing at the door of the study, Lao Yuan gasped and said: "Brother Lu, it's not good, something is wrong!"

Lu Wenyuan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, led him into the study, and watched the family cover the door behind him, before asking, "What's wrong?" and said, "Why did today's morning dynasty disperse so early?"

Fu Qian took a breath of air and said, "Didn't you disperse early! The emperor didn't do anything else this morning, but only passed all the officials who had impeached you into the palace and beat them severely." ”

Lu Wenyuan was so shocked that the three souls were separated from the six souls, and he lost his voice: "What?"

Fu Qian stumbled and said, "Alas, if you were there today, it wouldn't be like this." There are a total of 152 officials in the Imperial Court and the Imperial Procuratorate, but the emperor has scolded more than 20 people with a rod at one time, and there has never been an emperor like this in all dynasties, so this can be regarded as a big basket!"

Lu Wenyuan heard that he had only been in the morning for one day, and there was such a big mess, so he just said that he shouldn't rashly go to the emperor that day to say anything to clarify the relationship, and later insisted on locking him out. To this day, I really regret it, so I had to hurriedly follow Fu into the palace to see what the situation was.

The two came to the cabinet together, only to see that Zhao Yongning and Shen Wenbin were already in the cabinet, and some ministers who had retired from the court and came directly to the cabinet to do business, saw Lu Wenyuan come in, although his face was more than respectful, but his eyes flashed secretly. Lu Wen saw it, and his heart became more and more worried, so he immediately said goodbye to Fu Qian and entered the palace to face the saint.

Lu Wenyuan came all the way to the Qianqing Palace, and saw that the cotton curtain at the entrance of the main hall was hanging low, and there was a guard standing under the eaves every other zhang, and the atmosphere was more solemn than before. Normally, at this time, there should be an endless stream of ministers outside the hall who come to meet the emperor, but today I can't even see one, and I am probably frightened by the emperor's power in the court. Lu Wenyuan saw that Shuangxi was standing at the gate of the palace, so he stepped forward and asked, "Can the emperor be in the palace?" I have something to see the emperor, and I will go in to report to my father-in-law. ”

Shuangxi agreed, and hurriedly lifted the cotton curtain and went in. Zhu Shiyang was watching the music in the warm pavilion opposite the dormitory, Gui Xi was bending down to wait for the pen and ink, Shuangxi entered the room, and knelt down cautiously and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu is here." ”

Zhu Shiyang was stunned, raised his pen and dipped it in Zhu Mo and said, "What is he doing here?"

Shuangxi said: "Lord Lu said that there is something to report to the emperor. ”

Zhu Shiyang frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter, eighty percent of them are here to count me." You just say that I am not feeling well, and no one will see me, so let him go. ”

Shuangxi had no choice but to agree to go out, returned to the gate of the hall, and said to Lu Wenyuan: "Lord Lu, I'm really sorry, the emperor is a little uncomfortable, please go back." ”

Where was Lu Wenyuan willing to go, seeing that Shuangxi and the guards were not allowed to let him in, he raised his voice and called "Emperor" twice. Zhu Shiyang didn't move much in the hall, but after a while, he sent Gui Xi out.

Lu Wenyuan's heart moved, and he only said that the emperor asked Gui Xi to take him in, but he didn't want Gui Xi to close the palace door, and when he was about to close the door, he was stunned and a little embarrassed, so he said to Shuangxi: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you send Lord Lu back quickly." Shuangxi hurriedly agreed, bowed to Lu Wenyuan and said, "Lord Lu, please." ”

Lu Wenyuan was shocked and angry, but there was no way, so he had to follow Shuangxi step by step and turn back out of the palace, thinking about what the emperor did in the early court, it was really a bit bottomless, after the Qianqing Gate, Shuangxi was a eunuch in the inner court, and it was not easy to send it away, so the two separated, Shuangxi still went back to the Qianqing Palace to serve, and Lu Wenyuan went out of the palace alone.
