Chapter 52: Into the Heavenly Prison
Cining Palace, the imperial feast has been arranged.
It is said to be a family feast, but in fact, it is not so simple, because in addition to Emperor Chongzhen, the Queen Mother, the Empress, Tian Guifei, Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, Zhou Kui, the uncle of the country, and Tian Hongyu, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xie Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were also present.
Looking at this posture, this feast is more like Wang Pu's atonement feast.
Seeing that the time for the feast was approaching, the eunuch sent to deliver the decree finally returned, but what was puzzling was that the eunuch who passed the decree came back alone, and Wang Pu did not come with him.
Emperor Chongzhen frowned and asked, "Gao Qiqian, what about Wang Pu?" ”
Gao Qiqian replied in a shrieked voice: "Long live Lord, Mr. Wang said that he is very busy now and has no time to receive orders." ”
"Poof!"
Suddenly, hearing Gao Qiqian's words, everyone was terrified, and Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, squirted out all the tea that had just been drunk in his mouth without any image.
"What did you say?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't believe his ears, "You say it again." ”
Gao Qiqian repeated expressionlessly: "Long live Lord, Mr. Wang said that he is very busy now and has no time to receive orders. ”
"No, don't have time to take orders?"
Emperor Chongzhen's face showed an extremely strange expression, this thing was simply unheard of, he really didn't know whether to be angry or laugh? At this time, Zhou Kui, Tian Hongyu, Zhou Yanru and others had also come back to their senses, and they all began to whisper, this Wang Pu first refused to marry and then resisted the decree, and there was a great tendency not to swear to the death that he would not give up.

Vegetable market, law field.
Before Gao Qiqian returned to Zijin City, Wang Pu had already rushed to the court with the No. 50 family.
The military department in charge of supervising the beheading opened the torture book for Gong Dingxi, ticked the three words "beard" with a red pen, and then grabbed a token from the desk and threw it to the ground, shouting: "The time has come, behead!" ”
"Poof!"
The executioner opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of soju on the devil's head knife.
The bearded man who was forcibly pressed to the ground suddenly struggled to stand up, and howled up to the sky: "General, the villain will not be blinded when he dies, and he will not be blinded when he dies......."
The executioner raised the ghost head knife high, and when he was about to split it, a cold light flashed in front of him, and then a sharp pain came from his wrist, and the heavy ghost head knife light fell to the ground with a bang, and the executioner hugged his right wrist and screamed, and a dart had been inserted on it.
"Oh no."
"Someone has robbed the Dharma field, someone has robbed the Dharma field."
The people who were watching around were shocked when they saw this and dispersed in a hurry.
"Who?" Gong Dingxi's face changed drastically, Huo Di stood up and shouted, "Who dares to disturb the law field? ”
"Keep people under the knife!"
A loud shout sounded like thunder in the distance, Gong Dingxin hurriedly turned around, only to see that the chaotic crowd had suddenly dispersed, and dozens of border soldiers rushed into the execution ground with steel knives in their hands! The young military generals who were in charge of the execution ground did not dare to stop them.
The bearded man who thought he was going to die suddenly turned around and saw that it was Wang Pu, and thought it was a dream, so he bit his tongue hard to believe that all this was true, and shouted excitedly at the moment: "General, it's really you!?" ”
"It's me." Wang Pu looked guilty and said, "Bearded, you have been wronged. ”
"General......" The bearded man's tone suddenly became choked, "I'm not afraid of death with a big beard, but even if I die, I have to die, I have never been a deserter!" ”
Wang Pu patted the bearded man on the shoulder vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Bearded, the general knows that you are not a deserter!" ”
"Who are you?" Gong Dingxin finally came back to his senses and shouted, "Do you know what the crime of disturbing the Dharma field is? ”
Gong Dingxin is in the military department, and he is qualified to attend the court shift with his grade, but he has been running errands in Songshan a few days ago, and he just returned to Beijing until last night, so he didn't know that the young military general standing in front of him was Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong Town, who refused to marry in public last night.
"Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong in this town!" Wang Pu stared at Gong Dingxin coldly, and shouted, "This town has not disturbed the law field either, do you know who you are beheading?" He is the most loyal and brave soldier of the Ming Empire, for the sake of the empire, he can even give up his surname, will such a good soldier be a deserter? ”
Hearing that standing in front of him was Wang Pu, the world-famous general soldier of Datong, Gong Dingxin was secretly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure, and said coldly: "This is a public case agreed upon by the Ministry of War and the Criminal Department, and this official is only responsible for supervising the beheading!" This official also wants to advise you, even if you are a meritorious hero of the imperial court, then you can't be proud of your merits, please get out of the way quickly, and don't hinder this official from performing official duties. ”
"Someone." Gong Dingxin said and shouted to the executioner in the reserve, "Behead the prisoner!" ”
Wang Pu was furious and shouted: "You dare! ”
"Sonorous!"
Two clear sounds, Scarface and Xiao Qi had already pulled out the knife and put it on Gong Dingxi's neck at the same time, Gong Dingxian was taken aback, and shouted fiercely: "Wang...... Wang Pu, you, what do you want to do? ”
"Nothing." Wang Pu stretched out his hand and pointed at the beard, and said coldly, "It's this person, this town took it away!" ”
As soon as he turned around, Wang Pu shouted to Amu: "Amu, don't hurry up and loosen the beard!" ”
"Yes!"
Amu agreed, hurriedly grabbed it and untied the beard, and said with a stupid smile to the bearded man: "Hu, Brother Beard, you, you are still alive, really, really good." ”
"Let's go!"
Wang Pu waved his hand, and fifty family members walked away with big beards.
"Wang Pu." Gong Dingxin yelled at Wang Pu's back, "You will regret it." ”
Wang Pu paused, and shouted without looking back: "General Ben never regrets doing things. ”

Cining Palace.
Gao Qiqian had just finished resuming his decree, and Emperor Chongzhen didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh?
Zhu Guobi, Zhou Yanru and other important ministers also looked at each other, not even daring to let go of a fart, at this time, a little eunuch hurriedly entered the main hall, and leaned into the ear of the eunuch Wang Chengen and whispered, Wang Chengen immediately shuddered after hearing it, and his face changed greatly.
"Seung-eun?" Emperor Chongzhen asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Wang Chengen knelt on the ground hurriedly and said in a trembling voice: "The slave doesn't dare to say it." ”
"Say." Emperor Chongzhen said angrily, "What happened? ”
"Hooray." Wang Chengen wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said in a trembling voice, "Just now, a division came to report that Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, led the troops to rob the law field and rescued the prisoners who were sentenced to behead by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment. ”
"What!?" Emperor Chongzhen's eyebrows suddenly rose with a black gas, and he shouted, "Wang Pu led the troops to rob the law field? ”
"Robbing the Dharma?"
"This ...... How so? ”
"How could Mr. Wang do such a rebellious thing?"
Zhu Guobi, Zhou Yanru, Zheng Sanjun and other important ministers of the country were about to be scared out, wondering if this Wang Pu was wrong? first refused to marry, then resisted the decree, and now led the troops to rob the law field, what he did was more out of line than the other, and one was more crazy than the other, even if he made great contributions to the court, even if he held the death-free gold medal given by the Lord of Long Live in his hand, he couldn't mess around like this!
"This Wang Pu!" Emperor Chongzhen stood up and shouted, "How can I tolerate him if he dares to act so recklessly!" ”
"Wang Chengen!"
Wang Chengen hurriedly took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The slave is here." ”
Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he shouted loudly: "Spread my message, the Beijing camp will closely monitor Wang Pu's personal soldiers outside the Guangqu Gate, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities will immediately arrest Wang Pu and go to the prison!" The rest of the cadres were put into the prison of the Criminal Department and waited to be released. ”
