Chapter 889: The Monarch and the Ministers (II)
At this time, Ai Mu and Shen Sixiao also finished fighting, and they were also dragged out of two blood stains, and they were also surrounded by officials in the innermost layer of the circle, the imperial doctor was nervously treating, and the officials on the periphery were crying loudly. It's not right to say crying, because the officials don't have any tears, and what they use is actually a "howl" that thunders and doesn't rain
Not only the officials who saw the miserable situation of the four people howled, but those who couldn't squeeze in simply knelt down towards the purpose of the noon gate mark and howled loudly. At least two or three hundred people howled at the same time, and only after the death of the emperor in the past did there be such news.
But that time it was a howl, what is it this time? It is clearly to vent their emotions and express their dissatisfaction to the Son of Heaven in the palace!
They actually didn't know that Emperor Wanli was standing at the head of Wumen City, looking at these people crying and grabbing the ground with a pale face. Those who don't know think they've died! This is a demonstration of Chiluoluo!
"It seems that the number of people in the court staff is still too small, not enough to make you calm down" Wanli gritted his teeth secretly, and simply didn't do anything, and overturned all the dishonest ones! Thinking of this, he said to Wei Chao without looking back: "Order the hundred officials to disperse immediately within a stick of incense, and if there are those who don't leave, write down their names!" ”
"Your Majesty, there is still an early dynasty" Wei Chao reminded in a low voice, according to the plan, the court staff is finished, and then it is time to go to the early dynasty.
The corners of Wanli's mouth twitched, and he glared at him fiercely and said, "Hugh Deluo, don't go to court today!" No matter what, the little emperor is still a little weak-hearted, he doesn't dare to face the ministers who are out of control at the moment, and wants to completely clean them up and see each other again.
At noon, the emperor's order was quickly conveyed. When Zhu Xixiao ordered someone to light the incense stick, and brought a pen and paper to prepare to write down the name, an unexpected situation arose According to common sense, the ministers at this time should be panicked, hesitant, and then fled in a hurry, but to the surprise of Jinyiwei, the officials rushed to report their names. And many decent officials who are used to crying and crying have also come to sign up......
Jinyiwei was stunned, which is the blacklist that will be used as the basis for rewards and punishments in the future? It is clearly scrambling to leave a name in history, glorifying the ancestors.
In fact, if it weren't for the scene of the four people of Tingzhu Wu Zhongxing, it greatly stimulated the officials present. aroused the grievances of the Ming officials, who have been immersed in their blood for many years, but have been hidden in their blood, I am afraid that they will not show such a strong and widespread rebellious mentality.
Zhu Xixiao took a look, what can he do if he goes on like this, he will not be able to achieve chaos in the world. He hurriedly begged for silence and said, "Yuanfu advises everyone to go back, if you continue to make trouble like this, when will it be a head." ”
"Don't call me Yuanfu" looked at the hundred officials who were still scrambling to sign the autograph, sighed deeply, and seemed to be much older in an instant: "It's all my fault that things have come to this point, what kind of face does this official have to renew the dynasty?" As he spoke, he picked up his pen and wrote his name on the paper and said: "All the officials are at fault, and it is all me, the first assistant, who has not been taught, and I hope that the emperor will punish me alone and not pursue them." ”
Looking at the word "Huiji Silence" on the back of the paper, Zhu Xixiao said with a bitter face: "You are not putting out fires, you are ...... on fire"
Shen Mo glanced at him casually, and the sharp chill in his eyes flashed away, but it was enough to freeze Zhu Xixiao and stop talking.
After that, Zhu Xixiao seemed to have lost his spirit, and he did not interfere with the things that were blamed later.
Shousuke-sama has signed it, so what else is there to say? Including six ministries and nine qing, almost all the officials present signed the booklet of Jinyiwei. Because of the excitement, everyone's signatures were very large, and it took three books to complete the record.
The ball was kicked back to the emperor, looking at the full three books, which were almost the records of the Jingguan Hua roster, Emperor Wanli was stunned, how could this be? It shouldn't be like this! Why aren't these courtiers afraid of me? Why is it that the stronger I am, the more fierce their resistance becomes?
Wanli propped his hands on the city wall, and his face was covered with cold sweat. Whether it is the law not to hold the public accountable, or to arrest all the registered officials, even for the sixteen-year-old boy who is moved and reckless, it is not a difficult choice to make, and if you can't arrest all the court officials, what should the country do?
What do Chinese people think of themselves? How will it be evaluated in the history books? As long as he calms down a little, Wanli understands that he can't do anything at this moment, but what to do, it's not that he can think clearly, and in the end, Wanli didn't order to arrest people, but watched the four tortured people with straight eyes After the bandage, they were carried on a stretcher, and left Chang'an Avenue under the swarm of hundreds of officials......
Because of the decree of the Holy Order, he left Beijing immediately after the execution was completed. So early in the morning, Jin Yiwei went to the house of the four people, urged them to pack their bags, and then drove them outside the Zuo'an Gate to wait, and as soon as the execution was completed, the four of them went on the road.
Although he was not at the scene of the execution, because Wanli did not let the tortured person wear a chew, the news inside, the family members of the cadres heard it clearly, first listened to the wails of the four people who were beaten, and then heard the howls of the hundred officials, thinking that their master was beaten to death, the families of the four people cried, and some even fainted directly.
As soon as they saw the four people being carried out, the family members hurriedly surrounded them to see if their master was still alive.
None of the four people died, this was something that the hundred officials did not expect before, they witnessed the process of execution with their own eyes, such a terrifying stick, enough to open the stele and crack the stone, why did the four strong men take turns to fight, but they couldn't even beat one person to death? Someone who understood whispered, "The truth, it turns out that those Jinyi guards who were executed, including the thousands of households who were punished, were all bribed yesterday." The officials of the Hanlin Yuan and the Criminal Department pooled a large sum of money, and the people entrusted the people to protect them and found them, begging them to show mercy today.
The Jinyi Wei Lion opened his mouth and asked for a double bribe before promising to spare the four of them a life.
Otherwise, if the executioner does not use any force, he can break the bone in less than ten rods, and within thirty rods is enough to kill. If you fight with all your might, even if you are an iron man who is trained horizontally, you can't last thirty rods, and you will have to die.
Therefore, the four of them were lucky not to die, not because of luck, but because of technology. You must know that not just anyone can be caught to execute the cane, and every executioner has to go through training day after day, until he reaches the point where he can't die if he wants to live, he can't live if he wants to die, and he can't stand up if he wants to be crippled, so that he can eat this bowl of rice.
For example, this time, they generally raised their sticks high and swung them down very violently, but at the moment when they were about to take advantage of them, their wrists stiffened, and they recovered a lot of the strength that had been poured into the torture staff. Moreover, the place where the cane is lowered is also very particular, specifically looking for thick flesh to hit, and avoiding all the fatal joints, so that the four of them picked up a life, although it is only more breath than the dead, in the end, the sandalwood staff with iron thorns is too powerful, and if they don't beat their buttocks and the meat on the big tui, how can they deal with the emperor?
For a few thousand taels of silver, Jin Yiwei dared to play this illusion under the emperor's nose, if there were no other factors, it would really cost money......
Although the officials will not approve of their bribery of the imperial eagle dogs, their statement is that the heroic righteousness of the four people touched the heavens and the earth, and God assured them that they were safe and sound.
Knowing that the four people did not die, many people have infinite envy in their hearts, they know that these four are destined to be famous in history, become a model admired by everyone in the world and are a living model, no matter where they go, whether in the court or in the opposition, what is expected of them will be people's worship and love, and they are destined to have a bright life.
During this period, there was also a memorable event...... Zhao Yongxian is a big fat man, after the cane, he was cut off a piece of palm-sized meat, and his colleagues cleaned it up and handed it to Zhao Yongxian's wife, which means that he has brought the person back completely for you. I saw Mrs. Zhao ask the servant to take out a porcelain jar from the car, and then put her husband's meat into it with great care. The person on the side was very strange and asked this sister-in-law, what are you doing here?
I saw Mrs. Zhao, who was tall and known as a fierce wife, and said lightly: "Hide it to teach your children and grandchildren." It turned out that in the eyes of this sister-in-law, it was an extremely honorable thing for her husband to be spanked by the emperor. She wants to leave a souvenir as a weapon for the ideological education of future generations... Baby, although your grandfather was beaten, he was glorious and great!
This method sounds really terrifying, but it is a powerful illustration of the attitude of the people of this dynasty towards the court staff.
As soon as the court staff was hit, he became a Buddha on the ground, and this iron rule of the Ming Dynasty's fluctuations and indestructibility really took effect again. The four of them left Beijing in the afternoon of the same day, and not only did they see off each other, but even the old people in Beijing came to see them off. Because the identity of the four people is a criminal officer, they are no longer allowed to use the public galloping system, and the largest accessible carriage and horse shop in the capital took the initiative to provide the best service free of charge, ensuring that the four heroes and their families were escorted home safely and comfortably.
To everyone's delight, two of the four people have come to their senses, that is, Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian, who have received twenty fewer rods. Although the two of them were pale, they were as usual, and in front of the escort officer and dozens of factory guards, they instructed their colleagues not to bow their heads to the high pressure, to continue to pay tribute to Jun Yaoshun, and to do their best to maintain the court!
Just as everyone was saying goodbye, the two waiters of the Criminal Department and Shen Shixing, a bachelor from Hanlin, also arrived, bringing not only Cheng Yi from the headquarters and the hospital, but also the gifts given to them by Shen Ge, the first assistant...... Four elegant sandalwood boxes. Everyone was very curious about what Lord Shoufu sent, Ai Mu and Shen Sixiao were still unconscious, so they asked Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian to open their own looks. The two couldn't resist it, so they had to bow their heads, so they opened their respective boxes.
I saw that what was given to Wu Zhongxing was a delicate mutton fat jade cup, which was engraved with a poem: "What is the spotted?" Bian Sheng tears. Who is the British? Lan was angry. Chase it and make it a tool forever. , and then look at the one given to Zhao Yongxian, it is a rhino horn cup, which is engraved with a poem: "The horn of the sheep is dark." Don't hesitate to dissect your heart, and would rather break your head. The yellow stream is in the middle, for the gentleman's longevity. , made a high evaluation and best wishes to the two.
With the affirmation of Lord Shoufu, the four of them are "straight more than the world" Wanli Emperor never imagined, he expelled the four people from the capital, not only did not calm the situation, but caused a lasting and sensational effect............... the four of them everywhere, there are officials along the way to greet and see off, local scholars, but also regard them as idols, some people even rushed to the road for hundreds of miles, just to see them, bow to them. Along the way, the academies, schools, and various literary societies invited them to give lectures on the stage, inviting them to show up and explain the law, so that the students and literati could experience what is the right way and what is righteousness!
The little emperor is still too young, he doesn't understand that the Chinese nation has been around for two thousand years, no matter what emperors and generals you have, they have been swept into the torrent and become history, only Haoran righteousness runs throughout, and this Haoran righteousness is all thanks to such a lineage of people with lofty ideals. Even in the darkest of times, there were warriors who lost their arms. If it's a man, how can he live like a dog and a dolphin? If the axe money is added to the neck, how can it make 10,000 people swallow it? With two thousand years of clothing inheritance and a civilization as bright as a star, these Gu people have always been the brightest stars!
In the south, the hometown of Wu Zhongxing and others caused a fierce reaction, and the newspapers repeatedly told the lives of the three people and discussed the dual identity of officials...... Which one is more important, the scholar and the "minister", and which one should be obeyed when encountering a conflict between morality and the emperor's order. There are even radical newspapers that fiercely criticize the Wanli Emperor's self-destruction of the Great Wall, which will eventually ruin the good situation since Longqing, and the Ming Dynasty, who has just lived two good days, is about to return to the middle of Jiajing, which is hellish on earth.
After more than 10 years of dissemination, the newspaper has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the southeast, and its audience and coverage are beyond any previous means of communication. It can transmit an idea to every corner of the publishing area overnight, and then become a trend of thought, sweeping the entire district... Of course, the premise is that there must be a market for this trend of thought.
Then there was a wave of criticism of the emperor, and a book called Ming Yi Waiting for Interviews began to be widely circulated among the scholars, and the contents contained on it were frightening but infinitely appealing, and as a political book, it sold more than 100,000 copies...... @
