Chapter 182: Luoyang Order
In the more than ten years since Liu Hong succeeded to the throne, before Zhou Yi, Kong Yu, Yu Qi, Sima Fang, Xu Xun, and Guo Zhen successively served as Luoyang Ling.
Zhou Yi carried thousands of officers and soldiers, but he couldn't go to the execution ground at all.
He did not dare to forcibly order the officers and soldiers to drive the people away, and if he caused a riot, he could not be held responsible.
Zhou Yi asked the people what happened? They all knew that they were going to kill the emperor's nurse, Mrs. Cheng, but they didn't know who ordered and who was in charge of the beheading?
The more Zhou Yi thought about it, the more anxious he became, he didn't receive any news about such a big thing, there must be something greasy in it.
Zhou Yi had an idea, and shouted: "I am Luoyang to order Zhou Yi, to behead the prisoner, get out of the way, and let us enter."
When the people nearby heard this, they immediately crowded and slowly made way for a narrow road.
The supervisor is here, if he doesn't go over, how can he behead Mrs. Cheng?
Zhou Yi led his subordinates to squeeze through the narrow section, walked for a while, and shouted for everyone in front of him to hear.
Mrs. Cheng sat paralyzed on the execution ground with her hair scattered, and along the way, she was ridiculed and counted as a day.
On weekdays, he was high, but now, like those untouchables, he was bound to the execution ground, and was pointed at by thousands of people.
"Cheng, can you be guilty?" Liu Fan frowned and looked at Mrs. Cheng and asked.
"What sin can I have as a woman?" Mrs. Cheng raised her head, stared at Liu Fan with angry eyes, and said, "You'd better let me go, otherwise Your Majesty and the Queen Mother won't bypass you."
Since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne as emperor, how could she have suffered such humiliation?
There is a dead end, and I don't know it, Liu Fan doesn't want to talk to her more.
Liu Fan stepped forward and saluted the people in the audience, and shouted with all his might: "I am the hussar general Liu Fan." Today, Cheng's family, for His Majesty's nursing mother, bullies others, does not hesitate to evil, and harms all people. He also interfered in the political affairs of the court, colluded with the ten permanent servants, sold official positions, and caused chaos to the court. The bamboo of the South Mountain, the book crime is not endless; The waves of the East China Sea are broken, and the evil is inexhaustible. Kill it now, and follow suit. ”
Mrs. Cheng thundered, frozen there, did he really dare to kill himself?
And the people below cheered.
Although the hussar general had just taken office, his reputation had already spread throughout Luoyang.
Countless families and officials from all over the country gave gifts to visit the hussar general and filled the streets, but they were all turned away by the hussar general.
This Qingming, coupled with his previous reputation, made the hussar general talk about it in the mouths of the people in Luoyang City.
After the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a saying that the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people, and in fact, among the nobles of the court, the idea of not being able to punish the doctor has always been fulfilled.
Unless the princes and ministers offend the Son of Heaven, or meet those iron-faced and selfless, courageous and upright officials.
The people are full of complaints, and this is the lowest level of the legal system.
The common people have their eyes on the road and dare not speak out in anger, which is the second lowest level of the legal system.
The people have no complaints and abide by the law according to the law, which is the highest level of the legal system.
The people have a good reputation, they are convinced, and those who are punished are punished without complaining, and they are punished without anger, which is the level that the hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin Dynasty are striving for, and it is impossible to reach the level. This level, throughout history, is something that only one person can do.
Liu Fan can only develop the legal system in the direction of perfection, and he does not dare to have extravagant hopes.
"Kill her!"
"Kill her!"
"Kill her ......"
Hundreds of people raised their hands and shouted.
If there is one less bullying in the world, they will be less bullied. Mrs. Cheng's notoriety spread all over Luoyang, and in the eyes of the people, she was not a woman, but a heinous sinner.
"Nian you are the nursing mother of His Majesty, and leave your whole corpse. Someone came, hung Cheng on the pole and strangled him. Liu Fan ordered.
"No!" Zhao Ji stepped forward with a few soldiers and put the hemp rope in his hand around Mrs. Cheng's neck.
"Liu Fan, you don't ...... Gotta die well! Your Majesty and the Queen Mother ...... "Before Mrs. Cheng finished scolding, she was dragged away by the soldiers, and they did not show mercy because Mrs. Cheng was a woman.
She was out of breath, let alone talking.
"Slow ......"
At this moment, there was a loud roar, and Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi arrived. At first glance, he saw Mrs. Cheng being dragged to the ground, her life hanging by a thread.
The soldier who executed Madame Cheng instinctively paused.
Mrs. Cheng struggled desperately as if she was grasping a life-saving straw.
"You don't hurry up and follow the general's orders." Zhao Ji, who was standing next to him, scolded the soldiers, breaking Mrs. Cheng's last illusion.
The military order was like a mountain, and the soldiers hurriedly pulled Mrs. Cheng to the pole.
"Zhou Yi, what are you doing?"
As soon as Zhou Yi wanted to order his officers and soldiers to snatch Mrs. Cheng back, he heard an extremely familiar cheer.
He looked up and saw that the person standing in front of him was his own brother Zhou Zhong.
Yu Guang glanced back, and Zhou Yi immediately froze.
Hussar generals Liu Fan, Cui Lie, Chen Tan, Zhu Wei, Lu Zhi, Chun Yujia, Liu Kuan, Liu Tao and other senior officials of the court and the central government all stood on the execution platform and looked at him one by one.
In an instant, Zhou Yi seemed to understand something, and he felt that he had been tricked by the people in Mrs. Cheng's mansion.
The cheers of the people, Zhou Yi seemed to turn a deaf ear, and when he looked at Mrs. Cheng again, he was already hanging on the pole.
Mrs. Cheng's legs were hanging in the air, her fingers were cracked, and she stared at Liu Fan's back.
Zhou Yi watched Mrs. Cheng's limbs droop and die in Huangquan.
"Zhou Yi, I'll ask you." Zhou Zhong reprimanded angrily.
"The people from Mrs. Cheng's house came to the yamen to report the case, and my brother had to come. I don't know that you are here to behead. Cold sweat oozed from Zhou Yi's forehead, and he said resignedly.
"The hussar general deals with traitors, how can you do it? Go back with someone who hasn't taken you yet. Zhou Zhong scolded.
Zhou Zhong asked Zhou Yi to visit Liu Fan many times, but Zhou Yi was afraid of partisan disputes, so he always dragged it out.
Zhou Yi is the father of the famous general Zhou Yu, and he is also appointed to the important position of Luoyang Ling, but it is little known, and the history books have been brushed aside, and there is not even a single word left.
However, Zhou Zhong, when he was the third duke, resigned many times and gave way to the virtuous, leaving his name in history.
"You are the Luoyang Order, can you know whether the strength of the order Dong Xuan is not?"
Just as Zhou Yi was about to leave this place of right and wrong, a calm but majestic voice made Zhou Yi feel like a man.
"Strong order" means a county order with a stiff neck and refuses to bow its head.
At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Dong Xuan was making the Luoyang Order, the princess's servant killed people, broke the law, hid in the princess's house and did not come out, and all the people who arrested him did not dare to enter.
When Dong Xuan heard that the princess's car was about to come out, he stopped it and killed the servant who had committed a capital crime in front of him. The princess thinks that Dong Xuan is bullying her by killing her servant in front of her. So she complained to the emperor, her younger brother Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu was very angry and called Dong Xuan to kill him. Dong Xuan also said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are very holy and revived the Han Dynasty, but now you are indulging people and killing people, how can you govern the country, I don't need you to fight, I will die first!" ”
As he spoke, he slammed his head against the pillar, causing his head to bleed.
Liu Xiu knew the truth of the matter, so he didn't kill Dong Xuan, but asked him to kowtow to the princess and apologize. Dong Xuan just didn't listen, Liu Xiu asked people to press his head, Dong Xuan supported the ground with both hands, held his neck, and never gave in.
Liu Xiu was so impressed that he finally rewarded Dong Xuan and gave him the title of "Strong Order".
And Dong Xuan was very incorruptible, and he couldn't afford to buy a coffin after his death. This matter was only known to Liu Xiu after Dong Xuan's death.
"Humble ...... Know! ”
Zhou Yi saluted Liu Fan and said worriedly.
