Lu Bing's heart was very panicked, an emperor did Zhu Houxi's part, and the contradiction with his courtiers intensified to such a bad point, and at this time Zhu Houyu was by no means deaf and blind, he was old, and there was no traitor to cover up the situation of seizing power and seeking government, Zhu Houyu was also a rare "emperor" in history. Everything has come to this point under Zhu Houxi's self-directed and self-acting, no one can change anything, the bell must be tied to the bell, Zhu Houyi's own dead knot will be untied by him.

thought that the peaceful handling of punishment and reprimand would be over, Lu Bing did not expect Zhu Houxi to admit his mistakes to the ministers, and now that Yang Tinghe has already sent Zhu Houyu, he will not admit his mistakes, and more seriously, after he confessed to Yang Tinghe in Fengtian Hall for the first time, Zhu Houxi no longer believed that confession could be exchanged for anything. If you have to say anything in exchange, there will only be endless humiliation and disrespect, as well as the minister's demand to "get an inch" again and again.

Two days later, Zhu Houxi made a ruling against the ministers involved, and this result not only surprised Lu Bing and hundreds of civil and military officials, but also everyone in the world. Fines for those above the fourth grade, and all officials of the fifth rank and below the fifth rank will be imprisoned, and the court staff will be carried out in turn!

Originally, those ministers thought that the emperor would scold him twice, and at most he would go back with a few symbolic blows, and he would earn a good reputation for speaking out, and he would be very proud to talk about it in the future. I didn't think that the emperor and Lu Bing were the same way, and they didn't understand what it meant to not be accountable to the people, so more than 180 officials were dragged outside the noon gate for the court cane, and the celebrant was responsible for counting, and Lu Bing, as the chief prosecutor of the inner punishment, was also on the side to supervise, and Jinyiwei was responsible for the execution.

Of course, this is different from Lu Bing's killing of officials. Lu Bing killed corrupt officials, but Zhu Houxi was not, he killed Yan officials. Even though some of them may not be good officials. But they are really admonishing at this time, Zhu Houyu beating them is equivalent to sealing the mouth of the outspoken admonition, and it is also breaking the rules of the ancestors, the first step of the faint monarch is often to kill the outspoken minister, but no one has ever punished so many ministers at the same time like Zhu Houxi.

For a while, the officials were stripped of their pants, and they began to be beaten there, and suddenly the flesh and blood flew and cried endlessly. Those ministers who are usually polite and polite were beaten to tears, where is there still a trace of the elegance of a scholar. Only Yang Shen and a few people gritted their teeth and didn't make a sound, and they really had a hard bone.

Lu Bing couldn't bear to look at it again. But where the duty lies, I have to look at it, the cane is going slowly, and the sound of reporting the number and the cry are intertwined, making Lu Bing's ears buzz. That day. On the spot. Sixteen of the ministers were killed. Lu Bing didn't eat after returning home that day, because he didn't have the appetite to eat, his ears were still the sound of crying, and his eyes were also Yang Shen's gritted teeth and indignant.

He didn't know if he was willing to go down with Zhu Houxi, who had become a tyrant, and he began to advocate and superstitious that violence could solve everything, and was unwilling to solve the contradictions among the people in a peaceful way, but simply used his power. Use the supremacy of imperial power to punish those who oppose him. As a brother, Lu Bing is willing to accompany him no matter what. Unless one day he threatens Lu Bing's life. But it is obvious that Zhu Houxi no longer regards Lu Bing as a brother, so as a courtier, Lu Bing is unwilling to accompany this tyrant to go on anymore, so Lu Bing has the idea of retreating.

Lu Bing didn't tell Lu Song, because his father had already said that he should not take what the emperor said seriously about his brothers, although Lu Bing had some feelings at that time, he didn't take it too seriously. Now his father's words have come true, which makes Lu Bing not know what to say.

That night, Lu Bing was alone in the room, Meng Xueqing dragged a bowl of porridge in, put it in front of Lu Bing, and said, "Eat something, you haven't eaten at night." ”

"Xue Qing." Lu Bing was speechless after saying this.

"Do what you want to do, do what you feel is right, and I'm still there for you. A lot of things you can't change, you can only change yourself, do not be happy or endure the humiliation and persevere, or work hard and do not succumb to the status quo to completely break the deadlock, when because of something can not be broken, you can also choose to leave, that is, escape, although it is an escape, but it has to be said to be a relief. Meng Xueqing said.

Lu Bing nodded: "I understand what to do, Xie Lu thank you." ”

Lu Bing did not choose to resign at this time, first of all, Zhu Houxi was in a bad mood, and resigning at this time was tantamount to bringing disaster to himself, what should he do with his family at that time, and what should his father do in the officialdom. Secondly, Lu Bing also wants to go to Kangling to see Zhu Houzhao, and now he is the chief prosecutor of Jinyiwei, he can still have some qualifications to enter Kangling, if it is a cloth, I am afraid that no matter how good the relationship is, it will be difficult to enter, after all, there is still an army hidden there, and this army has a lot to do with Lu Bing.

Lu Bing thought about it, and when this matter passed, he took the time to see Zhu Houzhao and have a drink with him, and then Zhu Houxi must know the news that he had been to Kangling, and he must not even leave him a chance to think more, and resign directly, so as not to cause trouble.

After Yang Shen was imprisoned, Lu Bing visited him many times, after all, he had a duty and was easy to do, so Yang Shen did not suffer much in prison, but soon the ubiquitous eyes and ears told Zhu Houxi the news, so although Zhu Houxi did not face it, he reprimanded Lu Bing in the edict and no longer asked him to give him the right to go to prison.

Ten days later, Yang Shen was brought out again, and the court staff was carried out again, of course, Yang Shen was not the only one who was beaten, there were several other so-called leaders, these people were just pulled by Zhu Houxi to accompany Yang Shen to tie up, so as to prevent others from saying that he had a personal vendetta against Yang Tinghe and beat Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen.

On that day, another person was killed, and Yang Shen received the final punishment, which is said to have been lightly punished for the sake of Yang Tinghe's face - exile to Yongchang, Miao Jiang.

Yang Shen's ass is blooming, and it is a flower on a flower, this is Zhu Houxi's deliberate, and the time is not long or short. Human wounds generally clot blood in two hours, and they can start to scar in about three days, but it takes at least fifteen or sixteen days to grow well, and Yang Shen's ass is beaten like this. It didn't take a month for Sensei to think about it.

Yang Shen was beaten for the first time ten days ago, and then he was beaten again when he entered the palace, which was to tear open the wound that had just formed a scar. The pain must be a double stack, and it's unbearable.

Yang Shen was not killed, he lay on the bed after being beaten, grinned over and over again, and smiled at Lu Bing over and over again: "Now I am famous, since the Ming Dynasty, there have been many people who have been beaten by the emperor since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but I am afraid that there are not many people who enter the palace after ten days like this, right?" ”

"You're still happy. Why didn't you discuss it with me earlier, you have to get to this point today, and you have been sent to southern Xinjiang. How's that good? Lu Bing said for Yang Shen.

Yang Shen said with an indifferent face: "Look at what you said, going to Yongchang is not a netherworld, what can you do if you eat, eat, sleep, and sleep." There is no need to fight in the court, and it is not pleasant to be able to recite poetry and write to read and write without anything. What's more, I also did what I wanted to do. You don't know what the road is for us civil officials. A person who can be beaten by the emperor because of his advice, but the performance of the virtuous minister is enough to be proud, and even the exiled local people and scholars will respect the exiled person very much. Besides, Yongchang is not a bad place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful all year round, and the people are rich and do not close their doors at night, it is a land of fish and rice, and it is also a good place with simple folk customs, and I heard that it is still a Confucian township. ”

"." Lu Bing said: "You have also seen Yongchang in the literature, don't you know that the local officials of Ludao are for their own high-ranking officials." To carry out the necessary boasting and boasting? Your ancestral home is Sichuan, I remember correctly, right? Then why don't you just go into Yunnan and have a look? The people there are not the same as our Han people, what people don't read, people don't read our four books and five classics, in short, you should bring more books when you go, otherwise I'm afraid there will be no books to read. But you're right, you were sent there because you offended the emperor, and maybe you can be supported by the people, because there are constant riots, and they have always disobeyed the discipline of the court, as long as they do it against the court, they like it. But you don't want to think about it, even if you go to the land of fish and rice, you say that the local officials can give you a good life in the face of the emperor's enemies? ”

"It's like you've been." Yang Shen said, getting up and wanting to get water to drink, but the wound that touched his buttocks screamed in pain.

Lu Bing handed the water to Yang Shen and said, "Of course you have been, otherwise the Holy Lord would have wanted to send you to the northwest, why did I ask the eunuch to let you go to Yunnan?" The fundamental reason is that I have been to Yunnan, where we have acquaintances, and the relationship is not iron, but it is not bad, and I can take proper care of you. At that time, they said that because there were many old acquaintances of your father in the northwest frontier, you would inevitably be taken care of, so it was better to send you to Yunnan, and Yunnan was plagued by wars, and you were definitely not treated by the local ethnic group as a Han Chinese, and you had to suffer, so the Holy Lord made this decision. Hehe, Brother Xiu, why are you grinning, aren't you also afraid of pain, when you beat you, you are so tight, you don't scream. ”

"That is, you can't lose face if you fall anything, right? Tell me quickly, why don't you let me go to the Northwest Frontier, what are your intentions in Wenfu? What acquaintances do you have in southern Xinjiang? Yang Shen drank the water and returned the cup to Lu Bing, and then laughed, although he didn't know why, Lu Bing said that he asked the eunuch to speak, but he didn't want the Yang family to know Lu Bing's feelings, so he said that he was slandered because the eunuch and the Yang family had a feud. Yang Shen believed Lu Bing and determined that Lu Bing's decision must have been well thought out.

Lu Bing said: "Isn't this simple, your father knows a lot of people in the northwest, and the emperor knows more people, if you want to know your situation, or if you want to rectify your situation again, wouldn't it be very easy, even if you find someone to kill you secretly, it can only be tried as an ordinary case, and it will be forgotten if you hang a headless unsolved case." Yunnan, especially southern Yunnan, is different, there has always been a lot of resistance, most of the officials are not the emperor's people, and I have some dealings with my friend, who can describe your daily misery, so as to protect you. And as I just said, the local residents oppose the emperor of the Han people from the bottom of their bones, and since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they have frequently resisted and suppressed, they hate the emperor of the Han people and the officials of the Han people, and all those who stand on the opposite side of the emperor are friends, and the Yunnan people are so straightforward, so you will definitely be treated preferentially. ”

"What the hell is this friend of yours doing, it seems that he knows all the officials in Yunnan, such a powerful person still knows you, and there is no one in the court who can control southern Yunnan, you actually know the person in charge there, who is this friend of yours? Speak quickly, Wenfu, you talk all day long, this is the rhythm of rushing to death. Yang Shen said.

Lu Bing shook his head: "Only this matter can't be said, it's about my integrity with another friend, and when you get there, you will naturally know the truth, and when the time comes, I will not be a disobedient brother, but I can also let you understand, why not?" Of course Lu Bing can't say it, that is the base of the Shen family, in case the rumors accidentally leak out, Zhu Houxi will figure it out again, then Yang Shen can be regarded as completely planted.

Yang Shen didn't ask any further, because he knew that Lu Bing was righteous and didn't want Lu Bing to ask difficult, so it was like this. Lu Bing asked, "Brother Yong, you haven't said it yet, why didn't you tell me about your actions in advance?" I'll help you analyze it. ”

"Ha Lu Ha Ha, just you martial artists talk about righteousness, we literati also talk about righteousness, I told you, aren't you in a dilemma, it's not good for you, for the emperor, and for me. That's it, let's not mention it, anyway, after I go to Yongchang, I have to bother you to take care of it more. Yang Shen said with a smile.

Lu Bing suddenly understood Yang Shen's intentions, and couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart: "Use cultivation, I"

"What am I, you hurry up and get me more books, the more interesting the better, the more weird and interesting the better, otherwise in the long night of Yongchang, I don't know how to fall asleep." Yang Shen patted Lu Bing very intimately and said, Lu Bing nodded and walked out, such a big thing happened, Yang Shen also needs to be quiet. (To be continued......)
