Chapter 757: Chinese New Year's Eve—The Day When the Month Ends (Middle)

The torches outside the Xiyuan Gate are bright, the swords and guns are like a forest, and the Imperial Forest Army is like a great enemy, and the three lines of defense are discharged, and the water guarding the palace gate is impassable. Although the swords and guns were in their hands, and the other party was just a weak scholar kneeling on the ground, these young officers and soldiers felt that they were clearly surrounded by themselves.

Where had they ever seen such a scene? More than 100 officials in court clothes, holding aloft a notebook, knelt in front of the emperor's house. And it's on this Chinese New Year's Eve. It made them extremely nervous, and their hands were covered with sweat as they held their weapons.

On duty in the West Garden today, it was a great eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and he had never seen a battle, standing behind a row of Imperial Forest Army, and said inwardly: "What are you doing?" Do you want to rebel for the New Year?"

Lin Run knelt in the leading position in the first row, smiling when he heard this...... Yes, in such an atmosphere, he was still laughing, and his voice was very polite, without the slightest anger: "This father-in-law, have you ever seen a person who rebelled with his bare hands?" He is always leaky, even if he is determined to die, he can't let people buckle his hat indiscriminately, just listen to him say aloud: "I am waiting for the Taoist officials, full-time to correct the impeachment of the hundred divisions, and to supervise the various provinces!" is the official of the Son of Heaven's discipline and discipline, and today is the time to present the emperor in front of him! Please father-in-law, hurry up!"

"I haven't heard of thirty nights of sparseness." The eunuch was not a fuel-efficient lamp either, sneering

Said: "Besides, the traffic secretary, how can there be a direct submission to the palace gate?!"

"I'll hand over the Tongmei envoy early," Lin Run's engineering capital was still loud in the matter

said: "But after more than ten days, there is still no news, so we have to come by ourselves!"

Another official who knelt beside them gave Wang Ben a loud voice: "We are participating in the six ministries and nine secretaries of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the cabinet, so this sparseness can only be handed over to the emperor!"

"Yes!" The officials responded together: "Please father-in-law will present our recital to the emperor immediately!" They obviously discussed, and shouted together: "Please open the door for advice!" More than 100 people roared in unison, and the sound shook the night sky, and it was directly transmitted to the West Garden behind the palace walls.

In the Shengshou Palace, as if hearing that shout, the black qi on Jiajing's face became heavier, and he laughed angrily: "Where is Lu Gang?"

"Wechen is here." Lu Gang, who is the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard and the commander of the Ouchi guard, hurried to follow

came in from outside the hall and knelt down on one knee in front of Jiajing.

Jiajing looked at the face that looked like Lu Bing, and said with a rare kindness: "You can see everything clearly today, I didn't provoke them, they were provoking me." ”

Lu Xun nodded, and then listened to the emperor continue: "Forty-two years ago, I was like this

People are bullied to the house. That's how your father received his command before me!"

Hearing the emperor mention his father, Lu Gang's chest straightened up.

"Now I give you the same order." Jiajing said in a deep voice: "See if you can look like it."

Like your father, help me rebuild Tianwei!"

"Your Majesty, please." Lu Gang said enthusiastically.

"Tell me first, take it, and then persuade them to go back...... Even if they are unjust, I cannot be unkind, and if anyone leaves, let him go. After saying so many words, Jiajing was already out of strength, and barely supported: "But most of them will definitely not move, you will ......" There was no sound when he said this.

Lu Gang asked cautiously, "What about Olive?"

"Your father was three years younger than you are now." Jiajing said dissatisfied: "But he just."

Not to ask that. ”

"&-Bei......" Lu Gang had no choice but to leave Shengshou Palace.

After coming out, let the cold wind blow, and he was not so excited. He is no longer the bastard boy he was back then, and after his father's mysterious death, the burden of family continuity weighed on him all at once, making him have to mature quickly. Coupled with the careful teaching of Uncle Shen and the thirteen elders, he has grown into a clear-headed and well-known Jinyi guard.

In his memory, his father had always been kind to civil officials, and he had passed away for many years, and his reputation in Shilin was still very good, and he couldn't believe that his father had poisoned those civil officials. But in any case, he knew that the emperor was watching him from behind, and he must not be the slightest unresolute...... In the past, Shen Mo once taught him that if he still appreciates the subordinates of others when he is unable to protect himself, he is ruthless to himself.

But today's events were too sudden, no one could teach him how to face it, looking at the dark and boundless night sky, Lu Gang took a breath of air with the smell of gunsmoke, and felt inexplicably excited...... After all, he is a man of the Lu family, and there is a ruthless factor in his blood.

Seeing the torches in the square in front of the palace like a forest, the people of the Punishment Division and the Lock Fu Division were all waiting there, Qing Yishui's short clothes, leggings, holding leather whips, wooden sticks, and iron locks, although the blades were as sharp as snow, they made people feel murderous.

・ Benevolence is the best of righteousness,' Lu Gang's face flashed with a hint of determination, and he said in his heart: "If you can't do it, you will be ruthless." With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Open the door!" He said to the thugs of the two divisions: "Don't move yet, listen to my orders." ”

・Titicaca ......'The side door of the Forbidden Palace slowly opened, and under the gaze of both sides outside the door, Lu Gang

Alone, he walked out of the palace with a little helplessness.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Lu Gang felt a little sad in his heart, but at this time, he couldn't embarrass his father no matter what, he secretly cheered himself up, holding the hilt of the sword with his backhand,

walked around in front of those officials with a straight face, and then stood up and said: "Pass on the emperor's message." When the officials heard this, they all bowed down,

"The emperor has accepted them all." Lu Gang said solemnly: "Zang Gang is punished, and he has it."

Holy Judge, let your Excellency disperse.

As expected, the officials did not move, and He Yishang said loudly: "I can give it to you, but today the emperor will not accept it, and I will not dare to say goodbye!"

Lu Gang conveyed the emperor's will and asked them to leave quickly, but these people just didn't move, and in desperation, they showed their true colors and begged those masters in a low voice...... Please, I'll go back and make a good deal, otherwise how will this matter end?

However, today, all the officials who dare to be present have already done enough psychological construction, they have eaten the scales and are hard-hearted, and if they do not achieve their goal today, they will not give up!

After saying all the good things, to no avail, Lu Gang knew that he didn't have enough face, to put it bluntly, it was these Qingliu ministers who didn't take him as a little bastard official at all. He knew that he couldn't grind any longer, and said silently in the direction of the southeast chessboard: "Uncle, this time I can't help the world, I can only be alone-said with a look of unbearable expression, but the waving left hand was not at all reluctant...... He knew what he was doing today, and his uncle would definitely be angry, but he knew better that he had to be ruthless at this moment, because what the emperor needed was a butcher's knife to deal with disobedient ministers, if this knife was blunt, he would definitely change it without hesitation, and he wouldn't care whose son he was.

However, he still showed mercy to his subordinates, and before going out, he specially instructed him not to hit the vital points, but only to use skin

Whipping.

As soon as he gave the order, the fan of the Punishment Division and the suppression of Si Bolishi rushed out of the darkness and rushed into the crowd without stopping.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the brightly lit Xiyuan Gate was scattered, and the whip shadow was flying, and the poor civil officials who were unarmed and only had a playbook knelt in the field before they could understand it, and they were knocked down, and their faces were covered with blood...... This is Lu Gang's inexperience, he only knows that the whip of the Feeding Division is pure cowhide, but he doesn't know that the whip of the Punishment Division is also tattooed with iron wire, which can be beaten to the flesh of the human skin in one fell swoop.

Although Lin Run was at the forefront, this old brother was agile, not only was he not hit by the leather whips flying everywhere, but he was also able to snatch an iron whip from the Punishment Division and pick it up to protect the people around him. As the so-called capable people work hard, he also took the time to shout: "You must not retreat, otherwise we will become a laughing stock for the ages!" The ferryman shouted again: "Everyone, put this life on the line, let them see, the bones of our officials are constantly beaten!"

Originally, some people in the back wanted to sneak away when they saw Jinyiwei beating people, but after listening to Lin Run's words, they didn't move now, let's fight, it's dark to live anyway, life is better than death, and if you die, you can die well and leave a name in history!

So they all sat cross-legged on the ground, silent, and let the thugs commit violence. Even Lin Run, who had always been at ease, threw away the whip in his hand, sat down cross-legged, and gave up resistance......

The good is like water, the weak is indisputable, but it is indisputable, so it can not be competed with!

This scene shocked the emperor's thugs, and they couldn't imagine how these people could be like puppets, allowing themselves to be beaten and indifferent? What is the force that sustains these people? Some people can't figure it out for the rest of their lives.

"Stop!" At this time, the court officials rushed to hear the news, and Gao Gong rode his horse, rushed directly into the crowd, and shouted angrily at those big hands who committed murder: "Don't beat people!" Who told you to beat people! And is there a royal law!"

Xu Jie also got down from the sedan chair in a panic, and with the support of his son, he trotted over to the crowd with a worried face, and suddenly shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight!" Lei Li, Gao Yao, Jiang Dong and others were the same, desperately entering the crowd and shouting: "Don't fight, don't fight!"

Afraid of hurting Xu Ge Lao and several subordinates, Lu Gang hurriedly ordered to stop, but the scene was so noisy that it took a while before they all stopped. I saw that the field was in a mess, except for a few who were lucky enough not to be beaten, most of the officials were beaten to the ground, and some even fainted...... Obviously, I was unfortunately greeted by the dumpling whips of the fans.

But Lin Run was still sitting, although he was covered in injuries, he still sat upright, wiped the blood foam from the corners of his mouth, and said to Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others who came to pull the miscellaneous: "Thank you for your help, but we won't sue you down, and we won't give up!" He Yishang and the others all sat up strongly, and those who couldn't move also raised their heads and said together: "Yes, we are the ones who participate, and we will not change if we are killed!"

In the face of such a tragic situation, Xu Jie's old tears flowed, and the officials bowed deeply and said: "State affairs Rogus, I know that you are anxious and sad, but you should not pick this time to do this kind of thing, what does this make the emperor think?" What do the people of the world think? Now the misunderstanding has become a problem, everyone can't face it rationally, please go back to heal first, you join our recital, you can read it out in public at the court meeting in Japan, the old man and several Shangshu are at fault, and they should take the blame and resign, and the people ......are angry, "The old Shoufu is really embarrassed, obviously he has suffered on behalf of others, but not only have to endure it silently, but also have to coax the two ends, and what is even more sad is that most of them have to suffer at both ends."

"Shousuke-sama, please stop talking to the mud." A speaker said loudly: "Now Da Ming."

When you are sick, you need not licorice, but fierce medicine!"

"Yes, what you need is fierce medicine!" The officials were indignant and said: "The emperor has handed over the country."

You adults are in charge, but you govern the great country like this...

The officials were heartbroken and wept silently: "Under your wise leadership, my Ming Dynasty has been weak in state affairs, border defense, haggard people's livelihood, natural and man-made disasters, people's hearts are in turmoil, disasters are all over the country, like a scorpion, like a boiling soup, the survival of the country, the livelihood of the people, all to the edge of the cliff!" You ask us, why did you choose this day today, because after dawn, it will be the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, we have to ask, you python robes and jade belts, what strategy can save the people of my Ming Dynasty!"

Xu Jie was speechless for a while, and several Shangshu behind him were also full of shame.

After listening to the little eunuch's return, Jiajing did not have a trace of expression of relief, and he said up and down: "Referring to Sang scolding Huai, beating dogs and bullying the master!" They are not impeaching the cabinet or the six secretaries at all, they are all coming for me, they are forcing me, and they are passing me!" Coughing violently as he spoke, he suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, his face flushed, and he quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

Huang Jin hurriedly stepped forward, and gave the emperor a good breath, and fed the emperor water, he peeked into Jiajing's yellow silk handkerchief, there were dark red blood stains on it, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and tears were about to fall.

Jiajing gave him a stern look and hissed, "Immortal pill."

Huang Jin had the heart to advise, but the occasion was too inappropriate, so he had to wipe his tears and fetch the terrible thing for the emperor, after Jiajing took it, he meditated and breathed, and survived again, but the whites of his eyes became blood-red and blood-red, which was extremely scary, and he said hoarsely in his throat for a long time: "What time is it?"

"It's the beginning of the day." Huang Jin whispered: "There is still half an hour, and the sky will be bright." ”

"They don't have a face, I still have a face!" Jiajing said coldly: "Since you don't want to go back, please go to the edict prison for the New Year, and I will eat!"

The eunuch ran out quickly and gave the emperor's will to Lu Gang.

Looking at the officials who were at a stalemate, Lu Gang said helplessly, I really can't help you, so he nodded and ordered to arrest people.

"Wait." Xu Jie hurriedly stopped, bowed to the eunuch and said, "Father-in-law, please."

After the old man meets the saint, he will make a decision. ”

"The emperor has a decree, and no one will see him today!" The eunuch said sharply: "Including you Xu Ge."

Old!" I don't know if it's conveying the emperor's anger, or if it's a fox and a fake tiger.

Xu Jie's old face turned red, but as a hundred officials, he must not watch these young officials being arrested, otherwise what face will he have in Shilin in the future? I saw him tear the big sword and throw it to the ground, revealing the majestic and noble python robe, and his beard and hair were all open: "If you want to arrest someone, bring the holy decree, otherwise the official will not allow it!"

Gao Gong, Guo Pu and others also stepped forward in line, standing on the side of Xu Jiebei, blocking the Yanguan behind him: "Unless you step on our corpse!"

"You, you!" The eunuch was frightened and angry, and said tremblingly: "Elder Xu Ge, you have to resist."

Purpose?"

"The old man would never dare." Xu Jie shook his head and said, "Just ask my father-in-law, what is the holy decree."

In?"

"The emperor's message is a dictatorship." The eunuch said, "Could it be that the prime minister thinks that I dare to fake it."

The Holy Decree, or are you questioning the Holy One?"

"Of course I don't dare to question the saint, but there is also a distance from Shengshou Palace to here, and my father-in-law may have made a mistake on the road." Xu Jie insisted: "Pay it off, let the old minister listen to the holy message." Of course, he knew that this edict was fine, but he was trying to delay the time, praying for God's blessing, and the moody Emperor Jiajing suddenly changed his mind and did not have a tragedy like Zuo Shunmen.

He is the first assistant, but the eunuch is just the attendant of the celebrant eunuch, his arm can't twist his thigh, so he has to go back to ask for the decree, but he never returns, and when the star appears in the sky, the celebrant Ma Gonggong came out and sighed to Xu Jie: "The emperor asked us: say the edict again, and said that if it still doesn't work, let all the eunuchs in the palace come to pass the decree again until you are satisfied."

Xu Jie was completely desperate, it seems that Jiajing is determined to come to Zuo Shunmen again and defeat the temper that the ministers have been used to in the past few years.

"Please go to the duty room and rest with the elders." Ma Gonggong gave Lu Gang a stern look, obviously the emperor was very disappointed with his performance tonight.

Lu Gang's heart sank, and he said to Xu Jie: "Pavilion Elder, please." "A few wrestlers stepped forward to carry Xu Jie and the others to the duty room by the forbidden door. It's not so much a tug, it's a pull!

Zai Fu is the head of the country, has always been the monarch to the division of respect, today's scene, unheard of, the Ming Dynasty's physique and face, all lost......

Although it was said that they were participating in these high-ranking officials, when they really saw them being treated like this, the officials still felt sad and cried loudly.

"Don't cry, there are times when you cry" Ma Sen hated them to death, so that all of them were not quiet during the New Year, and he raised his hand and said: "Arrest them all!"

The people of the Dongchang Jinyi Guard showed the iron chain, and they were about to step forward to take the people, and bursts of thunderous drums sounded from the direction of Chengtianmen.

"Dengwen drum, someone has sounded Dengwen drum!" Originally, it was like a mourning official, suddenly

Then I got excited.

It's so tiring to write, it's not at all what I imagined in one go......
