Chapter 39 The Five Good Youths of the Ming Dynasty
In front of Fucheng Gate.
"Quick, go get everyone here!"
Fang Shihong roared excitedly.
At this time, there was already a sea of people here, everyone was looking up at the city tower, and the poor prince was still hanging on it, as for whether he was alive or dead, he couldn't tell if he was alive, but he shouldn't be dead. In fact, his main threat is heavy rain hypothermia, but not long after Yang Xin left, this heavy rain has stopped, as long as there is no rain, it doesn't matter, after all, this is summer and not winter, and now it is not June!
But how to get him down is a very troublesome matter......
Otherwise, it wouldn't have waited until now.
In fact, he was found just after dawn, but the soldiers who rushed here were helpless.
He hung down from the eaves of the second floor, just outside the second tower, but it was impossible to drag him in from the inside just after his head was under the eaves, and under his feet was the heavy eaves of the first floor, but the distance was more than two meters, and it was impossible to set up a ladder on the tiles. Moreover, the two-story city tower is shrunk inward, and the ladder is still not within reach of him on the eaves of the first floor on the city wall, and there is still an empty section on it, and it is impossible for the rescuers to stand on a suspended bamboo ladder to receive more than 200 catties......
Not that strongly.
The only way was to climb from the inside to the beam of the second layer of heavy eaves, and then drag him back the way he came, but those soldiers couldn't do it alone, in fact, neither of them had so much strength, and it took five or six people to drag him back. You have to be careful not to break the rope or get stuck, after all, it's a cross, but it's not easy to think of so many people working together on the beams of the roof.
In fact, at this time, even if Yang Xin dragged him back again, it would not be possible.
It's easy to put it out.
Kick him and slide down on his own!
But it takes several times as much force to pull it back.
Poor prince Wang Gongzi hung in mid-air like wind chimes in the corner of the eaves, and the crowd below, more idlers were still using it, and they looked at his image tied to the cross with amazement, and he hung his head motionless like a martyr, but this just allowed the people below to see his face clearly.
"Do you know this person?"
Yang Xin asked curiously.
"His father is Wang Zhiyu, the former director of the Criminal Department, Jingcha was dismissed the year before last, he stayed in the capital and said that he was studying, but in fact he was staring at the court."
Fang Shihong said.
"Wang Zhiyu?"
Yang Xin looked familiar.
"It's the one in the attack case, it's all fine, the madmen are all decided, it was he and Donglin's gang who had to lead Zheng Guifei, and in the end it was full of wind and rain, and there was nothing to toss and have an accident, and even His Majesty was so angry that he choked. It just so happened that his hands and feet were not so clean, and when he was in Jingcha the year before last, he was given a corrupt official, not only him, but most of Donglin's gang were cleared out of the court. ”
Fang Shihong said.
At this time, Donglin Qunxian had been hit hard, and lost Jingcha in the siege of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, but they were lucky, and then Wanli died of illness, and the prince Zhu Changluo, who was grateful to them in the battle for the country, succeeded to the throne, and quickly recalled all the backbone of Donglin to Beijing to take important tasks, including Ye Xianggao, the boss of the Donglin Party, was also recalled to replace Fang Congzhe, it can be said that the Donglin Party turned the tables all at once. However, great joy and great sorrow always follow one after another, just when Donglin Qunxian shouted victory like a carnival, Zhu Changluo, who had been the emperor for only a month, died suddenly, and poor Donglin Qunxian was instantly dumbfounded. One month is simply not enough time for Ye Xianggao and others to rush to the capital, most of the backbone of Donglin are on the way, once Fang Congzhe and these traitors control the ignorant and ignorant Tianqi who succeeds to the throne, then they will no longer have a chance.
So Donglin Qunxian, who was in Beijing, resolutely robbed the emperor.
In the end, they emerged victorious.
They seized the apocalypse and kept the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty left by the dead ghost Zhu Changluo.
But at that time, the fifteen-year-old Tianqi was not a five-year-old child after all, and it could leave them enough time to control the imperial court, and soon this cunning little emperor grew up, and then released the fierce beast of nine thousand years old to liquidate everything at the beginning......
Then Donglin Qunxian was unlucky.
This is a series of chaotic processes from the end of Wanli to the early years of the Apocalypse.
Donglin Qunxian couldn't bear it because of the attack case......
Wanli was indeed angry with them.
It doesn't matter whether this case is Zheng Guifei's brain-dead or the prince's bitter trick, the important thing is that this kind of royal scandal cannot really be thoroughly investigated, no matter what the result is, the emperor's face will be lost, whether the wife murders the son or the son frames the wife, it is a slap in the face for the outside world. Sun Chengzong is right, for those little people, you might as well check and punish them severely, but if you go up, you can stop blurring the past, but Donglin Qunxian has to use this matter to hype, and Wanli can't spare them no matter how much he can bear it.
It wasn't until he died of illness that Donglin Qunxian was reborn.
But unfortunately, happiness is always so short-lived.
The sudden death of Zhu Changluo, the Son of Heaven in January, made Donglin Qunxian stand on the edge of the abyss, and in the end, in order to keep everything they had just gotten, they had to take risks.
"What a mess!"
Yang Xin sighed.
This is really a trick!
It's also quite sad to count the Donglin Qunxian, if Wanli hadn't died, they would have endured it, but as soon as they let out a happy cheer, they poured a bucket of ice water......
I can't bear it!
"Admiral Guo!"
Fang Shihong next to him suddenly shouted.
Yang Xin immediately looked in the direction he shouted, a large number of soldiers from the patrol camp were parting the crowd, and a red-robed military general came over, and the latter also saw Fang Shihong.
"Young Master Fang!"
He said with a solemn face.
"Admiral Guo, what kind of song is this?"
Fang Shihong said with a smile.
Yang Xin followed and saluted.
"Don't mention it, I don't know where the master thief came out, not only entered Wang's house at night and knocked out two women and kidnapped Wang Shengyuan, but also climbed to Fucheng Gate to stun and tie up the guards and hang Wang Shengyuan on the city tower. Last night, no one came out to patrol in the heavy rain, and it wasn't until dawn that the person who opened the door found out that he was close to the official, and this was inevitably a crime of dereliction of duty. Now I have to find a way to get him down, saying that this thief is really a master, how did he hang up such a big living person, it's not easy to get it down! ”
Admiral Guo said with a depressed face.
"Admiral Guo, I have a solution?"
Yang Xin said.
"Who is this brother?"
Admiral Guo said suspiciously.
"Under Yang Xin!"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"Hit Deputy Commander Xu?"
Admiral Guo was stunned.
Obviously, Yang Xin's notoriety spread throughout the capital in just one day.
"Well, I'm just because he was rude to the imperial concubine, so I taught him a lesson for the imperial concubine, I'm a good citizen, how could I beat the imperial court officials."
Yang Xin said.
In this regard, Admiral Guo can only hehe.
"What can Yang Gongzi do?"
He asked.
"You find a few soldiers to hang two rope nooses from above, and someone below them is carrying them with bamboo poles, and they will lasso both sides of the wooden shelf, and pull the rope to cut off the one hanging from him, so that he can be put down little by little!"
Yang Xin said.
"This method is good, I have to let him thank Yang Gongzi when I go back!"
Admiral Guo said.
"It's still not necessary, there is a little bit of a holiday between me and him, he teased my cousin and was taught by me, and it's not a big deal, but before he ambushed me with the people of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses, we still can't afford to provoke this kind of eunuch, even if I give him a soft, thank me for not needing it, don't let me go in the future."
Yang Xin sighed and said.
"We're a flat-headed people after all!"
He went on to say.
Of course, Admiral Guo was not interested in his performance.
dare to beat a seven-grade civil official in public, and this still has the face to say that he is a flat-headed commoner?
"Who is this man?"
Looking at his back, Yang Xin asked Fang Shihong.
"Patrol Camp Commander Guo Qin, it is his responsibility to be a thief at night!"
Fang Shihong said.
"How many people are in the patrol camp?"
Yang Xin asked.
"That's a lot, one admiral, two generals, eighteen generals, and 10,000 soldiers and 5,000 horses below."
Fang Shihong said.
"There are so many people, so why haven't you seen a few?"
Yang Xin was stunned.
"One is that they are on duty, the other is that they are not only in the city, from Tongzhou to Zhuozhou, they are within the scope of their patrol, and several inspection divisions of Hongrenqiao are also their people, and third, they patrol outside the workshop. If this hadn't happened tonight, they would have handed over their shifts a long time ago, but now don't think about leaving, and the officials will inevitably be derelict in their duties. ”
Fang Shihong said.
As he spoke, the preparations had been completed on the castle tower, and the two rope nooses were lowered from above, and the soldiers below took long bamboo poles to carry them into the ends of the cross, and then tightened the rope on which the prince was hanging, and slowly lowered him downward. Facing the rising sun in the east, Wang Gongzi descended like a crucifixion angel, and there was a curious discussion below, but soon there was a sharp eye and saw that there was something hanging under him, and he didn't see it before because it was too high, but now he saw it all clearly.
"This, this, who did this, how can this make the prince inherit the lineage in the future?"
Fang Shihong was stunned.
"No, isn't it, it's just embellished with ingots of silver?"
The culprit next to him said.
"This is embellished with ingots of silver, this is to destroy his life, many small fires in the palace do this, when I was a child, I tied it with a rope, and it was scrapped if it was broken, but it can still be used, but don't count on this inheritance or something, it is said that this prince can go to the palace to try it in the future, and he can still be a small fireman."
Fang Shihong said gloatingly.
Yang Xin looked around, and all of them were looking at the same gloating gaze, and everyone was looking at Wang Gongzi's exhibition......
"You people, don't build your happiness on the pain of others!"
He said righteously.
Don't look at it if you have the ability!
There was contempt all around.
Yang Xin didn't notice that there was a pair of approving eyes behind him
