As soon as the news of Zhu Kun, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was seriously ill, it caused an uproar.

Zhejiang officials waited for an opportunity one after another, and some even took the opportunity to impeach Zhu Kun.

The reason for impeachment is also exaggerated, saying that Zhu Kun angered God because of the indiscriminate killing of innocents, so he was angry with Zhu Kun and caused him to contract a vicious disease.

This argument naturally does not stand up to scrutiny, but sometimes spraying people does not need a reason.

Don't think you, think I think.

Some people even cursed and slandered Zhu Kun, saying that he was a demon descending into the world and a disaster star.

All kinds of words come together, that is, if Zhu Kun doesn't get out, Zhejiang will not be fine.

This was an extremely terrible slander for a feudal official who had just led the official army to destroy Shuangyu Port.

So far, the Governor Yamen has not made any response.

This proves from the side that Zhu Kun is terminally ill.

Otherwise, he could watch his former tame subordinates jump out one by one, pointing at his nose and scolding?

Zhu Kun is about to fall!

In this environment of public opinion, no one was proud of attacking Zhu Kun for a while.

One after another, the back wave pushes the front wave.

At the same time, the Governor's Yamen was a completely different scene.

Zhu Kun, who was rumored to be seriously ill, was in good spirits and was chatting with Xu Yan, Shen Mingchen and others.

"Lord Ministry, now all the fox's tails are leaking out."

Xu Yan paused for a moment, and then said: "You only need to remember these noisy villains, and then settle accounts after the autumn." ”

Shen Mingchen agreed: "Not bad. Originally, it was a little difficult to figure out who in the Zhejiang officialdom was colluding with smuggling maritime businessmen, but now it is as easy as a finger. ”

It has to be said that people die for money, and birds die for food.

These seemingly cautious officials eventually fell in the way. It can only be said that the interests of smuggling maritime trade are too great, and they are all vested interests, so they naturally want to stand up for the maritime merchants.

It's just that they don't know that Zhu Kun is pretending to be sick in order to lure the snake out of the hole.

"There's no hurry, wait. Thanks to you this time, otherwise this official would not know how dangerous this Zhejiang officialdom is. ”

Zhu Su stroked his beard and said with a light smile.

"I want to see how the court reacts to this."

Today's public opinion environment is very friendly to Zhu Kun.

In this case, there is an eyeless guy who impeaches Zhongliang, and he uses such outrageous reasons, and Emperor Jiajing is not stupid, so he will naturally make a reasonable decision.

...

...

Jingshi, Xiyuan.

Emperor Jiajing in the Wanshou Palace sat on the throne with a serious expression.

Yan Song sat down, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, it is difficult to serve the emperor, and it is even more difficult to serve today.

Imakami is suspicious by nature and is very good at hiding his true thoughts. Ordinary people can't guess his old man's mind at all.

But Yan Song is different. It's not that he is so powerful, it's that he gave birth to a great son.

His son Yan Shifan has a special ability, that is, to read people's hearts.

Even if your heart is as deep as the sea, he can always get a glimpse of the clues.

It is precisely because of Yan Shifan that Yan Song can win the favor of Emperor Jiajing everywhere and fight Xia Yan.

"Elder Yan Ge, what do you think of this incident in Zhejiang?"

Emperor Jiajing suddenly asked, and Yan Song's squinted eyes suddenly opened.

"The old minister doesn't dare to say anything."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Emperor Jiajing wanted to listen to Yan Song's opinion, how could he allow him to play tricks.

"I'm afraid this matter in Zhejiang is not as simple as it seems."

Yan Song pondered for a moment and said, "Zhejiang officials seem to have a conflict with Zhu Kun. ”

He said this very cleverly, and he was neither biased towards Zhu Kun nor the Zhejiang magistrate.

There is a contradiction between the two, and it is not clear who is right and who is wrong.

"I'm cold."

Emperor Jiajing scared Yan Song into a cold sweat with just four words.

"The old minister is terrified."

Emperor Jiajing glanced at Yan Song and said, "I didn't say anything about you, what are you afraid of." ”

"This Zhejiang officialdom is a muddy pond, and how many people have been polluted by plainness. Now it is hard to come out of the mud without staining, clear ripples without demons, and they don't even let it go. ”

It can be said that Emperor Jiajing's heart is the same as that of Mingjing.

This is of course thanks to "The Anti-Japanese Chronicles".

This book is a description of all the situations in the world, and it also reveals the dirty things of Zhejiang officials and businessmen colluding with smuggling and sea trade.

"Look at what they write in the song, right? Is this still what people say? It's simply not as good as livestock! ”

Emperor Jiajing suddenly became furious and threw out a book of music directly.

"Your Majesty is angry."

Yan Song hurriedly persuaded: "Don't hurt the Holy Body. ”

"I don't want them to be like me, but at least they can't be selfish like this, right?"

Emperor Jiajing sneered and said: "In just a few days, there have been dozens of notes on the impeachment of Zhu Kun. Will it be hundreds in a few days? They're really united! ”

Yan Song knew that no matter what he said now, it would be annoying, so he simply remained silent.

"Looks like I'm too lenient with them."

A cold light flashed in Emperor Jiajing's eyes.

"The Staff!"

As soon as the words fell, Huang Jin, who was waiting beside him, leaned over and said in a harmonious voice: "Who does the emperor want a court cane?" ”

"The impeachment of Zhu Su is not missed! The Jinyi guard in Zhejiang immediately set off to arrest him, and he will not tolerate it! ”

Yan Song felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, and he seemed to see the young son of heaven who had confronted the ministers at the beginning of his succession to the throne because of the Great Rites Discussion.

The result of the Great Rites Discussion was naturally a complete victory for Emperor Jiajing.

More than 100 courtiers were thus roded by the court, which became a major sensation in the Jiajing Dynasty.

For example, today the son once again decreed the court staff.

Although the number of people involved is not as large as when the big ceremony was discussed, it can be said to be a big deal.

Yan Song wanted to persuade the emperor for a moment, but finally swallowed the words when they came to his mouth.

None of the people who went against this end up well, Yan Song knew this very well.

In this case, it is better to be a fool through and through, and everything will follow the emperor's wishes.

Your Majesty is really dictatorial!

I don't know if this is a good thing for Da Ming, Yan Song said secretly in his heart.

...

...

Outside the Zuoshun Gate, hundreds of Jinyi Wei Han generals lined up on both sides, and dozens of courtiers who angered Long Yan were pressed to the ground and tied their hands and feet, ready to accept the court staff.

The court staff is a unique invention of the Ming Dynasty, which originated in the Hongwu Dynasty, and the Chenghua Dynasty gradually became customized, and the Zhengde Jiajing Dynasty reached its peak.

The cane, in short, is spanking.

Before the Zhengde Dynasty, the tortured people would have some dignity and were tortured with felt blankets.

However, since Liu Jin, the head of the Eight Tigers, created the cane of the Imperial Palace, the tortured people were not only wrapped in blankets, but even had to be stripped of their pants and tortured.

The torture of the arrogant scholar in front of the eyes of the public is not only physical pain, but also mental torture.
