Slipping by the wall, Wei Zhongxian, who was walking with thief eyebrows, a group of little eunuchs came over, and the eunuch led by him knelt down for Wei Zhongxian first: "Grandpa, the emperor has an order, saying that you should go to the noon gate to receive fifty court staffs." ”

Wei Zhongxian was blindfolded at that time, he was fine, he hadn't seen the emperor yet, why did he suddenly provoke the emperor, and let himself be beaten for no reason? What the hell is going on?

So he cautiously asked the godgrandson: "Who was by the emperor's side just now?" She must have said bad things about herself. ”

This she, of course, refers to Empress Zhang, because in the current Ming Dynasty, the only one who can say that the emperor can punish him is this Empress Zhang. Although Wei Zhongxian hated it in his heart, he had no way to make his own unjust.

As a result, the little eunuch carefully reported: "The one who was by the emperor's side just now was Wang Zhenwang's companion." ”

As soon as he heard that it was Wang Zhen, Wei Zhongxian's fire came up: "Okay, you Wang Zhen, the two of us don't interfere with the river water, and we usually get along harmoniously, but you old boy dares to say bad things about me behind my back, let's see." ”

As a result, the little eunuch carefully persuaded: "Grandpa misunderstood the prince, and the prince was also punished by the emperor for slapping himself 5 times." ”

Wei Zhongxian was really blindsided: "What the hell is going on?" ”

The little eunuch told the scene at that time, and then repeated the weather, the emperor's words: "The emperor said that the foreign ministers slapped the emperor's sycophants, and the emperor couldn't care about it and didn't want to care, just treat them as farts, but we are the emperor's side, if we also pat the emperor's sycophants, it will make the emperor self-righteous, and if this continues, the emperor will become stubborn and self-serving, unable to distinguish between right and wrong, and it will ruin the country." In this way, we are the ministers. ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian thought about it for a long time, and finally he was convinced, kowtowed again and again, and ordered himself to be punished.

Passing by the apocalypse, when he saw Wei Zhongxian being "escorted" by a group of little eunuchs to the outside of the noon gate, he also shook his head with a wry smile.

This time he slapped Wei Zhongxian's ass, in fact, there were two reasons, one was to educate Wei Zhongxian and make him more restrained, and now he is indeed a little too much.

What's more, he is more for the ministers to see.

This court rod has always only punished those loyal and upright courtiers who have committed cheap "offenses", so as to achieve their good reputation. But now he is using the "sacred" court staff to execute on the ass of Wei Zhongxian, the powerful eunuch and the villain, which undoubtedly defiles this "noble" punishment. In the future, when the scholars and doctors were roded, they would no longer think of hundreds of "Qingliu" courtiers who had been beaten by the board, but only Wei Zhongxian, and only Wei Zhongxian's ass!

What will the civil and military ministers who will be sceptered in the future think? Wei Zhongxian has received the same treatment as himself, so doesn't that mean that he and Wei Zhongxian have become the same dog? If this kind of "equal treatment" is transmitted to the people, will it not be poked in the backbone by the people?

Ministers can not be afraid of the pain of flesh and skin, or even life and death, but they cannot but cherish their feather reputation. There is less provoking yourself to beat them, which is really annoying.

From the level of setting an example, Wei Zhongxian's ass is better than beating the ass of a thousand Beijing officials, which also blocks their idea of selling fame and reputation.

Mandarin Palace.

Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youzhen, Li Rubai, Zhang Weixian and others were whispering, and suddenly heard a voice: "The emperor has arrived——"

Everyone hurriedly straightened up, lined up directly according to the size of the official rank, and knelt down to greet them.

The emperor hurried in, and as he walked past the ministers, he did not stop, but ordered: "Excuse me." Then he walked straight to the chair and sat down.

The ministers stood up, and suddenly saw that the emperor was wearing a gown, and their faces couldn't help but change slightly.

You must know that except for formal occasions, most of the time, the emperors don't even bother to wear formal clothes on important occasions such as the early dynasty, let alone during the period of handling government affairs in the small circle of Wenhua Palace.

After sitting down, Apocalypse waved his robe, "Give me a seat." ”

The little eunuch who accompanied him found a few Xiudun, and several people received the order and thanked him, and sat down in turn.

After Tianqi and the others sat down, he spoke again, "Withdraw the senior scholar Ye to the high seat."
