"The emperor has a decree, and since you and other ministers have already played a recital, how can they kneel outside the noon gate and play a death admonition? Disturb the inner palace? With the staff of the division and the brocade guard, please this! Liu Zhiyuan smiled and sat down on the chair moved by the little inner supervisor, looking at so many people kneeling at his feet, it was so cool!

However, what is very strange is that these ministers who participated in the death of the Wen Dynasty included six ministers, Lang Zhong, Wai Lang, the chief minister, and the science and technology official, and they were not only not sad and angry, but all of them were happy.

This is a strange value, and when they are subjected to the court staff, they are loyal ministers, and they are famous in history, and they can't wait to lift their butts and be beaten.

However, the court staff is a very learned art, will the celebrant and the brocade guard take advantage of this to attack people who are usually not in harmony? Communiqué personal vendetta? It is very likely, so some people who are usually disrespectful to the celebrant and eunuch are wavering in their hearts, and they suffer from gains and losses.

Although Jia Cong looked like "I don't go to hell, who will go to hell", he still saw the different faces of these people in his spare eye.

Jia Cong saw very clearly, in this group of people, there are some foolish and loyal ministers who are sad and angry about the emperor's immorality and violation of the ancestral system, but they are only a very few, like Xu Youzhen and others, who have similar thoughts to themselves, selling their fame and buying straight, and have ill intentions, where are they willing to die?

People who can throw life and death, fame and wealth out of the clouds, not nothing, most of these people belong to the imperial history, and they are young imperial history, they are shallow, not old fritters, and they will not take care of any future, because, the imperial history is also the easiest person to be punished by the emperor, and he is often punished, demoted, transferred to other positions, and filled the army, especially the army, although the army is one level lower than the death penalty, but life is not as good as death, and it is crueler than the death penalty, which seems to be the fate of many imperial histories.

However, everything should be divided into two sides, and the imperial historian had to take a lot of risks, even the risk of death, but the promotion qualifications of the imperial historian were beyond the reach of the Hanlin Academy, which was also a means of encouragement for the emperor. But all those who are born in the imperial history and are transferred to foreign offices are above the four-rank prefect, and they directly enter the political department to participate in politics and deliberations, which is the envy of people who have been working for decades.

These understandings and observations will naturally be of great help to Jia Cong's future officialdom, and he also saw Yu Biao, the governor of Jinyi Weizuo, who was tied with Liu Zhiyuan, the chief of the ceremonial supervisor.

"Liu Zhiyuan is Dai Quan's godson, and he must have known it, as for Yu Biao, he is his own person...... Hehe, this time I won the ......" Jia Cong laughed inwardly, he quickly glanced at the two, and sure enough, he found that the two quickly conveyed a reassuring look to him.

With Liu Zhiyuan's order, dozens of miscellaneous eunuchs and brocade-clothed guards came up, and they couldn't help but press Jia Cong and other ministers to a ditch outside the noon gate.

The two of them held down an official, and the miscellaneous eunuch brought a wooden plank to lay it underneath, and brought a rope, and tied his hands and feet.

No wonder it is said that since the beginning of the Ming court, the humiliation of scholars and doctors is unprecedented, and this is also a means for the emperor to control the ministers.

He looked carefully left and right, and sure enough, he saw that there were about forty or fifty officials, but they came out in batches, Jia Cong, Sima Banditan, Wang Yinglin, Zhang Maocai, and others who had a relationship with the celebrant and Jinyiwei were assigned to the last group.

Qin Tianjian was divided into the second batch, and Xu Youzhen, Wei Wuzhi, Luo Min, Jiang Huajiao, Pi Shixuan, and Jia Siwen were divided into the first batch.

Jinyiwei was in charge of the punishment of 100 households, and the captains were assigned one by one, standing one by one, waiting for Liu Zhiyuan to speak.

Zhang Maocai trembled: "Zili, when I came, I wasn't afraid of anything, I felt that there was great hope for following you, but now I don't know what's going on, my legs and feet are shaking uncontrollably, and my teeth are chattering." ”

"To be afraid is to be afraid! What high-sounding reason to find? Sima Bandit snorted: "The Jinyi guard who is in charge of the punishment can put the white paper on the masonry, and the masonry is broken but the white paper does not break, who doesn't know?" ”

Wang Yinglin was silent, and he didn't know if he regretted it or what mood he was in, at this moment, Liu Zhiyuan's feet under the lion robe and Yu Biao's lion robe suddenly opened outward: "The third batch, execution!" Watch the hit! ”

The 100 households and the school captain are veterans, and they got two signals, the first step is the outer eight characters, which means that they can't be killed. Second, watching the fight is to go through the motions, play casually, and you can walk on the ground in at least ten days and eight months.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahhh

Zhang Maocai's scream simply shook the sky, wearing gold cracked stones, although the first batch of executions was only an outward figure, looking at the beating, it would not hurt the muscles and bones, but the kind of flesh and skin, pampered people still couldn't stand it, and the other two groups of people, there were already people who peed their pants uncontrollably.

Jia Cong couldn't hold back his voice, he only felt that his buttocks were cold and swishing, obviously bleeding, he said secretly: "It's worth it, this time not only can I save my life, but I can also kill Wei Wuzhi and them once and for all......"

When it was the turn of the second batch, Yu Biao coughed: "Lu Chunliang, you can go." ”

Lu Chunliang was the Qin Heavenly Eunuch, and he shook his head and retorted: "Weichen used Mercury to deviate from the orbit of the stars, and advised the emperor to voluntarily suffer the court staff. ”

In fact, he wanted to enter the list of loyal ministers, and Jia Cong, who was lying on the board with his back to the sky and couldn't move, was speechless, there was still this kind of person, but think about it, why wasn't he this kind of person?

Yu Biao smiled slightly: "Watch and fight with your heart!" ”

The footsteps were still outside, and when it was the turn of the third batch, Liu Zhiyuan and Yu Biao's heels suddenly separated, and the tips of their boots were close together: "I look at it with a practical heart!" ”

Although Wei Wuzhi and the others couldn't see the foot shape of Liu Zhiyuan and the others, they spoke obviously differently, and they knew that they had been retaliated against! But what can they do!

Jin Yiwei was tortured, and there seemed to be no difference in the number of sticks and strength, but these people who have practiced, one only makes people suffer from flesh and skin, and the other is that all the internal organs are shattered! The inner eight characters obviously won't live! Surely death!

When the time comes, if they are asked, their excuse for prevarication is also very simple, because the minister is not in good health! Or the injury was not healed properly! It's not our fault!

The voice of the third group of people was not as loud as Zhang Maocai, maybe this kind of different criminal law, the feeling is different, the court staff is finished, and the eunuch goes to the Zhengyang Gate to notify the respective sedan chair men and small servants to come in and clean up.

"Master Cong......" Sun Fu looked very sad, this is a person who grew up eating a person's milk with him since he was a child, wiping his tears and telling the sedan chair man to lift the plank directly, and being able to sit in the sedan chair out of the palace is also honorable.

When they were carried out one by one, Wei Wuzhi and the others, who were side by side, looked at Jia Cong's eyes, and seemed to be about to eat him alive.

Jia Cong looked at Wei Wuzhi and them with the eyes of a dead man, and when he came to work again, he would not see these political enemies.

……

Jia Cong, the champion of the new department, took the lead in the book, and suffered the court staff, first spread throughout the six departments of the imperial city, and many officials had a great impression of Jia Cong, loyal ministers, young leaders, want this appearance.

Then the news quickly spread to the inner city and the outer city, and the next day, the storyteller of the Goolan wine shop and the overpass came out with a fresh release: "Jia Xiu risked his life to save the Yellow River, and Lu Qin wrote in the sky about the Central Plains".

It was said so vividly that it spread through the streets and alleys, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

In the end, this news centered on the capital, and quickly radiated to all provinces in the world, Jia Cong, Sima Banditjian, Wang Yinglin, and Zhang Mao were called "Ding Chou Four Gentlemen" or "Four Gentlemen of Mountains and Seas" by the people of the time.

Jia Cong's direct name shook the world.
