"It's early in the morning, just find me unhappy!"

With a cold snort from the Empress Dowager Cixi, "Smack!" With a crisp sound, a piece of music was thrown far away and landed on the blue-gray gold brick floor. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the sneer of the Empress Dowager Cixi was not loud, at this moment, in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City's Yangxin Palace, whether it was Emperor Tongzhi, Weng Tongyi and other emperors, as well as Liu Chengyin and a group of eunuchs, they all couldn't help but beat a spirit.

The little eunuchs all hung their heads one by one, let alone pick them up, and they didn't even look at the folds that had been thrown on the ground. It's as if if you just get involved with this piece of music, you will lose your life.

"Intermarriage with ghosts, hum, you really dare to say it!" Empress Dowager Cixi's voice was gloomy and cold, "The reward of the imperial court, it turns out that in the eyes of you, this is it!" I'll just get it now! ”

Weng Tongyi heard why Cixi was angry from the sentence "intermarriage with ghosts", and immediately guessed who wrote this excerpt, and couldn't help but be shocked.

To be able to say such a thing is one of the "Four Advice of Clear Stream"!

"Insulting the court like this, I will teach you some lessons, so that you can have a long memory and know the laws of the court!"

Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi, which was cold from the inside out, Weng Tongyi fought a cold war again.

Based on his experience, the Queen Mother said something like this, that is, the official who wrote the excerpt was going to be unlucky.

At this time, as the emperor, he didn't dare to come forward to pick up this fold to see. It is because although his heart is anxious, he cannot think about it.

The next day, the lobby of the Criminal Department.

"Come on, Master Bao, you have to suffer today, the boss said, your fifty boards, don't let it be discounted with silver." An official of the Criminal Department nodded and smiled, and said to Bao Ting, one of the "Four Advice of the Clear Stream" who had just been caught in the prison of the Criminal Department from home.

"Is there such a thing?" Listening to the words of the court official, Bao Ting was taken aback.

When he just knew that he was going to be beaten on the board, Bao Ting didn't care too much, you must know that for the court officials, hitting the board can be said to be the lowest punishment, and for the dignity of the official, it can be deducted with money, like a fine for a month, about ten times off the board (the punishment of the Qing Dynasty is that everything can be discounted with money except for the death penalty), of course, whoever wants to be sentenced to a thousand boards will be in trouble, and if you don't get it right, you have to go bankrupt.

Only this time, the boss explicitly ordered that it was not allowed to be discounted with silver, and it was rare to have to hit his own board.

Bao Ting knew that it should be his own fold that angered the Queen Mother.

Before the excerpt, he also expected that there would be risks, but he didn't expect that the Queen Mother would actually have to hit her own board!

"Die of direct advice, a gentleman should also! Isn't it just a meal! I can still stand it! Bao Ting said with some high spirits, "From today on, the world should know that my Bao Ting is the court staff that I received for scolding the people who stooped to the ghosts!" ”

Seeing that Bao Ting actually regarded this board as the "court staff" of the previous dynasty and accepted it calmly, the official of the Criminal Department couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The punishment of the court rod flourished in the Ming Dynasty and was designed to humiliate ministers. Being beaten with a cane in broad daylight and in public was a great humiliation for the doctor. The court officials who were usually quite identifiable were stripped naked, exposed their buttocks and beaten with a rod in front of everyone, this kind of humiliation was worse than death in the eyes of the scholars, not only that, but after being beaten, he had to thank the lord Longen, which was even more sven and swept away. The court cane that made people take off their pants and spank in front of the public was an incomparably humiliating humiliation for the scholars, but later the scholars did not hesitate to fight to be beaten in order to become famous and record their own ink in the long scroll of history, which was the inevitable result of the abuse of the court staff system in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the courtiers were accustomed to seeing it, and it was no wonder that they were not ashamed of it, because the court staff still made them famous. Scholars who wanted to take a shortcut began to fight for its idea, and with the help of it, it was a great honor to be punished by the court rod in the eyes and hearts of these people. After the ministers were caned, they immediately became famous all over the world for daring to fight for the court, and became famous as "bamboo silk". Death is something everyone fears, but if you can be famous for eternity with just a few boards on your buttocks, it's quite a good deal. Therefore, regardless of whether the things discussed in the court are right or wrong, there are many people who take the risk of defrauding the court staff purely for the sake of opposition. It was Emperor Kangxi who called the "court staff" and "factory guard" the two major evils of the Ming Dynasty. After the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, the court staff was basically abolished.

Hearing that Bao Ting actually regarded his beating as an honor, the hall official knew that it was time to wake up this guy.

"Master Bao, your board is not worth it. That Lin Yizhe married, but the daughter of an overseas giant businessman who served the royal family, after the famous family, his marriage was a gift from the queen mother of the two palaces, you actually went to the fold to join him to marry the daughter of the 'ghost', isn't this pointing at the tip of the queen mother's nose and scolding, is it clear that he is looking for death? ”

Hearing the hall official say this, Bao Ting was taken aback again.

"What? Is he the queen mother's marriage? ”

"See, see? Are you stupid this time? Yes, the top commanded, this board, I have to break it out for you carefully, so that you don't feel unconvinced later. The hall official took out a piece of yellow paper with words written on it, looked at it, and said with a smile, "However, I estimate that you will have to rest for more than half a year when you come down from this board, and you can't fold it, hehehehe." ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense! Which famous family did he Lin Yizhe marry? It's obviously the scum who stoops to the ghost! ”

"Look, look! You're here again, aren't you? This Lin Yizhe married, that was after the original Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou Lu, have you heard of Lu Guanheng? That's the red-capped giant who has received the imperial title in Jiaqing Nian! Donated a huge amount of money to build river dams and sea ponds, contributed to the country, and won many praises and rewards from Jiaqing Ye! Do you think it's a famous family? ”

Bao Ting listened to the hall official read the yellow paper in his hand, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He only now realized how big the trouble he had caused by this fold.

"Now the Lu family wants to serve the royal family and repair the garden, and the daughter of the Lu family has fallen in love with Lord Lin, do you say, should the queen mother reward this marriage? The queen mother's marriage, you can be good, come to the sentence 'intermarriage with ghosts'! Aren't you dead? When you write the excerpts, don't you use your brain? Why don't you think about it, can any bastard words be used in the excerpt? Is this the reward of the imperial court, in your eyes, like this? ”

Bao Ting let the hall official be trained to stay there for a long time. The hall official couldn't help but be secretly amused when he saw that he was no longer as energetic as he was when he first came in.

"Well, I've also explained this matter to you, and now I have to be executed, and the queen mother of the two palaces is still waiting for a reply." The official said, waved his hand, and several officials of the Criminal Department stepped forward to open the cell door and dragged out the treasure court who was still there in a daze.

It wasn't until Bao Ting saw the torture bed placed in the center of the field that he realized that he was really going to be tortured, and he couldn't help but be terrified for a while.

"The Queen Mother has a will, fight! Hit it hard! Listen up. After the hall official finished speaking, he waved his hand again, and several officials stepped forward directly, dragging Bao Ting over, Bao Ting came back to his senses at this time, and immediately began to struggle desperately, but where could he stand up to the mercy of a few strong men like wolves and tigers, and he was tied to the torture bed in a few moments.

"I'm going to take off my pants now, hehe, don't be weird, this is the rule of our Qing Dynasty, it's not bad." The hallmate's dark smile rang in his ears.

Just as Bao Ting was about to scold, a servant stepped forward and tied his mouth with a towel, and his technique was amazingly skillful.

In a few strokes, another official took off Bao Ting's pants, revealing his buttocks.

Bao Ting is a scholar, he wears light fur and fine leather on weekdays, and his body is white and tight.

"Lord Bao, the execution will be carried out at this time, you can bear with it a little, and the fifty big board will be a matter of a while, offending you!" As he spoke, one of the officials stepped forward and pressed his head, and another stepped forward and pressed his feet.

"Please Imperial Scepter!" The cousin sang in a strange voice.

Bao Ting's head was firmly held down by a pair of big hands, unable to turn, his eyes widened, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a servant carrying a pair of red lacquered wooden barrels coming, and his heart was shocked and horrified, and he didn't understand what kind of reputation this hall official was engaged in.

A strong smell of urine wafted over him, making him nauseous.

Two officials stepped forward and each picked up a bamboo cane from a barrel.

"Don't panic, Lord Bao, the imperial staff used for you this time is soaked in urine, and the wound will heal faster after that, and it is not easy to leave scars, even if we take care of you, you will thank you."

Bao Ting was suspicious, only to hear the sound of "pop", the white ass had been hit hard, he only felt spicy, the moment the staff was raised, the buttocks seemed to be on fire, the pain went straight to his mind, although his mouth was blocked, but he still let out a miserable howl.

After only a few rods, Bao Ting's well-maintained buttocks, which were originally white and tender like a woman, were blurred with flesh and blood, and the white linen cloth spread on the ground was also full of bloodstains, and there was no good skin on the two buttocks, and the lightest parts were also cracked.

At this time, Bao Ting was beaten to the heart and lungs, but his mind was extremely sober, he couldn't faint, big drops of sweat flowed down his forehead, he couldn't help but struggle desperately, but the officials not only tied him tightly to the torture bed, but also pressed his head, hands and feet, no matter how he struggled, but it was difficult to move.

The two torture rods with urine continued to hit Bao Ting's ass in turn, and with each blow, Bao Ting's body wriggled like a maggot.

"Today, you know how powerful this imperial scepter is, right? Hehe, you officials, if you don't do anything on weekdays, you know the shortcomings of picking up people's shortcomings, opening your mouths, and talking in vain, this time it is retribution, remember it well! ”
