Although Jiading Bofu is lively here, it is actually more lively at noon.

In normal times, officials are playing court sticks, and hundreds of civil and military officials have gathered. They are not idle and bored, but they are ordered to have to watch here.

In the open space where they were watching, there were already a few people escorted by the Dongchang Guard.

Wang Dehua, the former celebrant and the commander of the East Factory, the former imperial horse eunuch and the eunuch Wang Xinxin, and the former Jinyi Guard commander Luo Yangxing.

Just ten days ago, these three people were the most powerful ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but now, they are going to be executed in public.

Looking at the three people kneeling here, to be honest, the civil and military officials were still quite shocked.

Among them, Luo Yangxing should be killed by the rod, they can understand. Who told him to assassinate the refugee resettlement envoy in Gyeonggi? The most important thing is that the assassination was not successful, and the evidence was caught on the spot, which is really deserved!

However, for Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin, they were very surprised.

Before, they heard that Wang Dehua was arrested and replaced by Wang Chengen. This made them miss Wang Dehua very much when he was the eunuch in charge of the seal and the commander of the East Factory, how harmonious it was at that time!

Therefore, they didn't think about what Wang Dehua was arrested for, and whether there was any possibility of reactivation. If possible, they don't mind saying a few kind words for him and crying out for him.

However, whether it is Wang Dehua or Wang Zhixin, no matter how powerful they are, they are just the emperor's domestic slaves, and the emperor shouts and kills them, and they have no way to be foreign ministers.

It was only at this time that a eunuch was reading aloud the charges of the three people in front of him, which made the civil and military officials understand why Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin were killed!

To sum up, it is actually eight words: corruption, disaster to the country and the people!

Listening to the eunuchs reading what Wang Dehua (Wang Zhixin) did on a certain day, many civil and military officials were not calm.

Although many of Wang Dehua's bribes were not made public, most of the civil officials present and those who were of high status gave gifts to the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant and the governor of Dongchang. They were afraid that the emperor would find out about them.

And those generals are also worried, because the main crime of Wang Zhixin is to eat empty salaries and embezzle military expenses. Among the generals, including the nobles in charge of the army, there are a few people who have not done this.

In this regard, they can only comfort themselves secretly. Don't be afraid, there are so many corrupt people in the court who eat empty salaries, not all of them are fine. Now the emperor has just a few house slaves, it's okay, it's okay!

"The power struggle in the palace seems to be very fierce, and it has reached the point of breaking the net."

"Yes, it seems that Wang Chengen is really arrogant for a reason, and he actually eliminated his opponent directly, not giving them any chance to make a comeback!"

"I heard that it was Fang Zhenghua who took over the eunuch who took over the seal of the imperial horse supervisor, I usually don't know, it seems that this person is already very powerful in the palace, this person can bring down the king's heart outside, tsk!"

“……”

In fact, there is a reason for this understanding.

The power struggle in the outer court, also known as the party struggle, is actually very fierce. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, the top officials of the Ming Dynasty were killed, not all of them were the result of party strife, they were also physically eliminated, and they were not given a chance to recover.

Otherwise, there will be a possibility of recovery like Zhou Yanru, and he will become the first assistant again. Of course, now it's the former Shousuke again.

Thinking like this, their hearts began to slowly calm down.

The power struggle inside and outside the palace, for them, it was normal. If you lose the struggle and are killed, of course, you will not say that the struggle for power and profit has failed, and there will always be a high-sounding reason to kill. In this way, the three people in front of them can only be said to be too poor.

While they were whispering this, there was a commotion in the distance. When they heard the sound, they saw another team of Dongchang soldiers coming, and it seemed that they were still escorting a person.

When they got closer, they couldn't help but be shocked when they looked closely.

Zhou Bi'an, the younger brother of the current queen and the uncle-in-law of the crown prince, is usually used to running rampant in Beijing, of course they know it.

It was precisely because of this that they never imagined that even Zhou Bi'an would be arrested.

"What's going on? Even if he is arrested, will he also be killed? ”

"Does the queen know about this, does the prince know?"

"By the way, I haven't seen the prince for a few days. Didn't you say that the prince was going to tour south and go to Tianjin to take a boat, why hadn't there been any movement yet? ”

“……”

If Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin were going to be killed before, this had already shocked them, and now they were really shocked to see that Zhou Bi'an was also brought in, and with Wang Dehua and them, it was obviously going to be executed.

Therefore, even if the prince does not see such a major event for a few days, it is just a few people who are surprised, and more people are paying attention to the matter in front of them.

Even people like Wang Dehua and Wang Xinxin who were going to die were shocked. They are going to be killed, which should be the result of a failed struggle for power. However, Zhou Bi'an is also going to be killed, he is just a relative, what does it have to do with the power struggle?

At this time, Zhou Bi'an had already arrived, and the eunuch on the side began to read out Zhou Bi'an's guilt. The civil and military officials listened, it was Zhou Bi'an, who usually bullied men and women, ran rampant in Beijing, and did evil.

In fact, many of these officials know these things. There are even some things that are instigated by some people. With Zhou Kui's father and son in front, then they have no scruples about doing similar things.

If you really want to talk about it, Zhou Kui's father and son have changed from ordinary people to what they are now, and finally ended up like this, and these people who instigated them definitely have a lot of responsibility.

At this time, they never expected that the emperor would kill his brother-in-law! Could it be that the emperor really wants to severely punish corruption and lawlessness, otherwise, if he just talks about party strife, he can't talk about killing Zhou Bi'an.

While they were whispering in fear, the eunuchs who had read the charges had already retired, and the new eunuch Wang Erbiao, the eunuch of the Celebrant Bingbi, said loudly to these officials: "Your Majesty's will ......"

Hearing this, the civil and military officials immediately stopped discussing and took the order before speaking.

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. No matter who I am, as long as I dare to break the law and discipline and harm the Ming Dynasty, I will never tolerate it! I just looked, who else wanted to be like them! ”

After Wang Erbiao finished speaking, he ordered the Dongchang Fan to be executed.

So, a team of East Factory servants waited for one, and all of them began to play boards.

Hit one board after another, and those were all beaten to the death. However, Wang Erbiao was also instructed not to be killed at once, but to be beaten a few more.

In any case, the effect of killing chickens and monkeys must always be the greatest.
