The first wind and rain drifted away

May is early summer, and the weather is always changeable. Yesterday was stormy, today is beautiful.

The sun shines softly around the towering palace, blooming in a variety of colors. In the air, there is still the fresh smell of yesterday's rain, which is refreshing.

This was originally a good season for literati and artists.

But such a beautiful scenery, Wen Tiren and other cabinet scholars had no intention of appreciating it.

Because, Emperor Chongzhen was doing something that made a big deal out of the scenery, and Cao Huachun, who came to summon him, told him that the emperor invited them to watch the execution, not the imaginary small court meeting.

It's heart-wrenching.

Fengtiandian Square, is the most extensive center of the Ming Palace, at this time has gathered many palace maids and eunuchs, lined up, the momentum is grand.

Gao Shiming commanded the fans of the West Factory, carrying sticks of different thicknesses, and began to carry out the preparatory work before the family law.

The chief eunuchs of the twelve eunuchs were all present except for those who were in other places.

About half a pillar of incense, the palace guards led the six Shangshu, the squire and the nobles of the capital to come over.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gao Shiming, the newly appointed supervisor of the West Factory, cleared his throat and said loudly: "It is the emperor's intention to call you over today."

In the past, there were people who peeped into the palace and communicated inside and outside, but there were some small things in the palace, and the courtiers could know immediately.

It stands to reason that this matter needs to be strictly investigated, and it will never be forgiven!

But the emperor had a good heart, one thought that the courtiers did not cause any actual chaos, and the other did not want to punish without teaching, so he forgave your mistakes.

However, this matter is indispensable, in order to prevent some people from being confused again in the future, so I ordered our family to invite all the adults to come to watch the punishment and increase the memory.

The people involved in this palace will be solved by Xichang. ”

After speaking, he turned around and shouted to the crowd in Xichang: "Come on, bring those dog slaves who eat inside and out." ”

Immediately, a group of Xichang fans came over with more than 30 eunuchs and palace maids and ordered these people to kneel.

When the ministers saw it, they immediately gasped, the emperor's action this time was a bit big, and it could be called cleaning the palace.

The three people led in front are no strangers to the courtiers.

Du Xun, the palm print of the food supervisor, was responsible for the diet and daily life of Emperor Chongzhen, and his hard work won the emperor's appreciation and reuse.

Wang Zhixin, the great eunuch of Dongchang's palm print, Fang Zhenghua's predecessor, often walks beside the emperor and has friendships with many ministers.

Wang Kun, the eunuch of Bingbi, Wen Tiren's old acquaintance, framed Zhou Tingru's close comrades-in-arms together.

Even the ones kneeling in the back are also the stewards of the eunuchs, and they can all be called great eunuchs.

In addition, everyone heard the rumors that the imperial horse supervisor was killed, and the determination and courage of Emperor Chongzhen can be seen from it.

Gao Shiming looked at these people, walked to them, and said gloomily: "You guys are so capable, what to do, what can't be done, do you really have no points in your heart?"

Has the emperor ever treated you badly?

Promote you one by one to stewards and palm prints for reuse, but you eat inside and out, colluding with courtiers for money, is it worth it?

The palace is already so frugal, but you Du Xun dare to be greedy for millions of ink, are you worthy of the emperor's love?

Send you on the road today, go underground, don't resent our family, if you want to hate, just hate you for not fighting for yourself! ”

After speaking, he shouted to Xichang Fanzi: "Please use the family law torture tools." ”

The fans of Xichang responded in unison, and someone lifted the table out, and on it was a portrait of Guan Erye.

The east factory respects Yue Wumu, and the west factory respects the second master, all of which are taken from their loyalty.

After the arrangement was completed, Gao Shiming first put three sticks of incense on Guan Erye, and then turned around and said loudly to the palace maids and eunuchs who were watching the execution:

"The eunuch and the palace maid are the slaves of the emperor's family. Food and clothing are all provided by the emperor. Even though the situation is so difficult, the emperor has never been short of everyone.

But look at these fools, betraying the lord for glory, betraying the emperor and colluding with foreign ministers, I hope you will take this as a warning in the future, don't make mistakes!

Execute them and send them on their way. ”

As soon as the words fell, several stout Xichang fans held different sticks, lifted the trembling Wang's heart, and directly fell to the ground, waving the military stick in their hands to slash their heads and cover their faces.

Under the chaos, the howl of the king's heart was not enough to count, and he died.

Only a place of red blood and white brains were left, slowly flowing on the bluestone of the square, which was shocking.

"Next!"

Gao Shiming put his hands behind his back, stared coldly at the courtiers who couldn't bear to look directly, and shouted loudly.

Since it is a matter of observing the punishment, it is not okay not to look at it, but it is to be punished for the crime of great disrespect.

In the midst of all the tastes, Wen Tiren watched his close comrade-in-arms Wang Kun just like everyone else, with blood and brains, lying on the ground and occasionally convulsing.

Your Majesty, this is a terrible monkey!

Wen Tiren sighed slightly in his heart, and finally understood the emperor's intentions.

Collect power, this is the emperor's true intention! Otherwise, there is no need to go to such great lengths to ask the ministers to watch the punishment.

Half an hour later, more than 30 people were all killed, Gao Shiming came to the palace maid and eunuch who received education with a gloomy face, and said:

"In the future, if anyone dares to do something against the Lord, it will not be as simple as being killed with a rod."

After a warning, he said, "Let's all go back and do our own things." ”

When the eunuchs and maids in the palace heard this, they hurriedly dispersed as if they had been pardoned.

Subsequently, Cao Huachun, who accompanied the courtiers to watch the execution, said with a smile on his face: "The cabinet minister and the six Shangshu went to the Wenhua Palace, and the emperor had something to discuss with the important ministers.

The others went back to the ministries and ran errands with their hearts. ”

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, who made a scene of killing chickens and monkeys, was serving the palace maids, comfortably tasting a sumptuous breakfast.

Watching the punishment is to punish others, and there is no need for me to run stupidly to pretend to be coerced and suffer the crime.

Killing, the picture can't be pleasing to the eye.

Although he will inevitably come into contact with him in the future, it is not interesting to kill the people around him, even if they have a reason to die.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet ministers have arrived." At the door, Cao Huachun came in to report.

"Please wait for the first assistant and the cabinet ministers." Emperor Chongzhen took a sip of chicken soup and added, "Prepare breakfast and snacks for them." ”

The stick is slashed, and the carrot must be there.

Otherwise, if you are blindly harsh and tough, your subordinates will not mix with you.

This point was deeply understood by Emperor Chongzhen, who was a man of two lifetimes.

Cao Huachun immediately agreed and left.
