Chapter 19: The Emperor's Bloodlust
readx; October is coming, and autumn is coming to an end. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info%Top%Point%.. o To meet this silent but howling winter, how many people seem to be unprepared. As far as the eye can see, in the south there are mountains full of red leaves and yellow leaves, and the ground is full of dew and hoarfrost that stretches for thirty days. The water is as clear and bright as a child's eye. Some children who go to school in the morning are angry while walking, and their hands are inevitably red from the cold when they play with water and frost. And so winter really came.
In the north it is very different. After a few days of strong winds, the leaves were all off, and only one or two red dots remained on the branches, hanging persimmons and begonia fruits, and there was still a little autumn feeling left.
Then there were dirty camels with coal, pouring in from Dongping Gate in strings. As they pass through the Xuanwu Gate, these peaceful creatures may raise their heads and look at the newly painted high gate tower with those little sad eyes, allowing for a little emotion.
If you don't count the Khitans, this is the largest empire in the East, and it's not a bad thing to go through it.
The dirty camels carrying the coals, after the coals had been unloaded, would be led by their owners to a mule and horse shop in the market, where they would take the red chips from the shopkeeper in their fur hats, shake them triumphantly, and then shout, and immediately a large bowl of hot wine would be brought to them with a smile and a smile.
This bowl of wine is unusual, at least it is not mixed with a little water, so it tastes extremely mellow, as long as it is a camel team that comes to unload the errand, it will not let go of this little enjoyment.
In the bleak wind and cold rain, drink a hot wine around the stove to disperse the cold on the body, say a few incoherent gossip, and when the cold air on the body is almost gone, put on a rotten cotton coat and lead a camel to continue out of the city, there are still a lot of coal blocks on the Bianhe River that has not yet frozen to be transported to the city. This is a new kind of business, which used to be transported directly into the city by boat, but unfortunately it was stopped by the imperial history of the city, saying that the coal ash fell into the river and soiled the river water, and some people still need to eat these river waters......
Even if the Yun family is wealthy and has a prominent official position, the short-tempered head of the family has always had the habit of beating the imperial history, and there is no way to fight the imperial history in this matter, and if he says a word more, he will be drowned by the spittle of the people in the city. So. The Yun family's goods could only be brought in by camel from outside the city. Carts won't work.
The camel rider knows very well what is going on here, the Yun family sells the coal that has been burned once and the price of white rice This is the root cause, fools know that the charcoal is buried under the soil, as long as the soil skin is peeled off. You can dig it out. According to the Yun family's dry method. His family is not digging coal at all, but digging gold, how can the city patrol royal history be willing if he doesn't ruthlessly peel off a layer of skin in this business?
They don't have the guts to take advantage of themselves. If you dare to do this, the head of the Yun family will whip these people to death, so many trades have spawned around the coking coal of the Yun family, such as camel riders who transport coal. Benefits for everyone to dip is a good idea.
As a Tokyoite, there are always some inexplicable advantages to take advantage of, and Tokyo people know very well that officials are afraid of the imperial history, and the imperial history is afraid of the real magnates, and the real magnates are very concerned about what the people think of them.
The camel guest just stepped out of the door of the mule and horse shop, and saw the messenger of Kaifeng Mansion knocking on the gong to open the road, followed by a long board cart, the board car was lying on a bare-bottomed man, the most happy thing is that there were a few bare-ass women were also tied to the board cart on the street to show the public, which was originally extremely eye-catching, the only fly in the ointment was that the women were inevitably older.
Besides, the buttocks were all beaten to pieces by the boards, and the roots of the thighs were purple and blue, needless to say that both of their legs were useless, and the wheels of the carts were jolting in the gaps in the stone slabs, and the men let out a scream, and the camel riders counted carefully, and found that there were as many as a hundred people with bare butts.
A young lieutenant was on a horse, and there was no expression on his white bearded face, but the will he held in his arms was a clear indication of the fact that these people were put on the buttocks and were ordered to carry out by the officials themselves.
The eunuch Zheng Bin rode on the horse and tried his best to make his expression look calm, the first time to do such an errand, no matter what, it also needs to have a good ending.
Thinking of this, he looked back at the screaming prisoners, he really didn't think there was anything wrong with him ordering the board, the official family had made a benevolent government by them into a hell on earth, and His Majesty almost vomited blood, and the concubine Niangniang shouted "Evil" after watching the secret music and fainted, and the queen rushed to serve, and asked the concubine to deal with the matter with full authority when she left, and deliberately said that it should not be spared.
These people basically have no chance of survival, and Kaifeng Mansion has begun to raid their homes according to the roster.
After taking over this matter, listening to his uncle Zou Tong's narration, Zheng Bin learned that the charity of the Great Song Dynasty involved a wide range of charitable deeds, covering Salesian, elderly care, medical treatment, funeral, disaster relief, poverty relief and other aspects.
The institutions established in Jiangnan to help the poor, sick and orphaned are Futian Hospital, Residential Nursing Home, Nursing Home and Anjifang. According to the record of "Baoqing Siming Chronicles", the six counties under the jurisdiction of Mingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, Yin, Fenghua, Cixi, Dinghai, Changguo, and Xiangshan established nursing homes, which was a national initiative. The nursing home mainly provided relief to "widows, widows, lonely, poor, and unable to survive on their own", and was later replaced by a nursing home. The funeral aid institution, Drain Zeyuan, has been widely distributed in the Jiangnan area. In the sixth year of Qingli, the official family issued an edict "to order the counties to take in the sick and poor people, restore the Leaky Garden, and bury the dead without returning." ”
Since then, the Jiangnan area of the drain garden has been widely established, Lin'an Prefecture Qiantang, Renhe 2 counties "put the drain garden 12, the temple nunnery to leave the trough ownerless, or exposed remains, all of them are in it. ”
In addition, Futian Yuan, Nursing Home and Nursing Home all contain the function of child relief, and specialized Salesian institutions have appeared as early as the first emperor's period, among which the Infant Bureau and the Salesian Bureau have the most significant influence.
Zheng Bin himself is also from a bitter background, and of course he knows how miserable life is for those who are homeless. But when he rushed into the various Futian courtyards and nurseries in Tokyo City with the royal guards, he still couldn't believe his eyes, and the deputy leader of the guards, a tough and iron-blooded man, rushed in and looked around, his face was more terrifying than the evil spirit, and there were still tears on his cheeks, and the head of the nursery hall had been shot out alive with his fists......
Zheng Bin was worried that something would happen if he did this, but when he saw the child's corpse on the board, he no longer felt that there was anything wrong with what the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard had done.
colluding with the demon Dao with the blood of a child, and such a thing as a child's heart combination medicine is enough for him to be destroyed......
Zheng Bin blocked the scene and told the lady concubine Niangniang what he saw with his own eyes, and after Niangniang told His Majesty, she issued a series of wills: "Futian Yuan, the matter of the nursery hall is a grand event held by the royal family adhering to the heart of heaven, so the things here belong to the royal private affairs, and everyone is dealt with in accordance with the royal family rules. ”
So the people of Tokyo City saw this thrilling scene, these people will face more terrible punishment after being paraded through the streets, the royal family rules are far more vicious than the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no third way to go except death and captivity to death.
It is said that the minister and the emperor had different views on this matter, but in the end this matter was still carried out in strict accordance with the emperor's will, not only that, the royal guards set off from Tokyo in fifteen ways, and spread radially to the state capitals of the Great Song Dynasty, and for a while, the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was panicked.
Yun Zheng took off his official uniform and sat on a chair drinking tea, Lu Qingqing still said angrily: "These people should be beheaded......"
Yun Zheng spit out the tea leaves in his mouth and said, "Chop off your head? The emperor was furious like a male lion in heat, he claimed to be a benevolent emperor, but as a result, there was such a sensational tragedy in his most proud category, King Pu was called into the palace by him, and personally whipped ten whips, which had already been demoted to the king of Puyang County, and now the title of the king of the county is no longer the Duke of Shanyang, and he will be fined for ten years, his shop, and all the property will be confiscated, and it seems that the red-eyed emperor is ready to starve King Pu to death.
To tell the truth, King Pu is on the side of this matter, his position as Zongzheng Mansion has long been handed over, and now, the emperor's brothers have all ended up like this, do you think those who do evil things just lose their heads so easily?
"Dapi! Does Dabi know? It's too bloody, I won't talk about it, so as not to make you lose your appetite to eat, I called us over today to watch the execution, Di Qing and I and those who have been on the battlefield don't care, Pang Ji, Han Qi doesn't care, do you know what Li Shu, a drunken Hanlin bachelor who came to our house a few days ago, vomited like? One of the men who had been cut off by a guillotine heard that he was still his brother, and his body was cut in two, and he begged his brother to save him. ”
Lu Qingqing was taken aback, but immediately reacted and slapped her husband and said, "Bullying me doesn't know the punishment of Dapi?" At most, how can you use a guillotine? Cutting people off is a halving, and the concubine has read the history books. ”
Yun Zheng smiled and didn't argue, he wanted to hold Lu Qingqing hooligan, but he was turned around and pushed away, and he sneered and left, it is said that the shopkeeper of the Yun family was about to enter Beijing to report the account, Yun Zheng had to sit in the hall alone and drink tea, his eyes were dark and looking at the tiger at home going down the mountain.
It's really good, an emperor who is famous for his benevolence has begun to kill people on a large scale, an emperor who has never had blood on his hands has now begun to kill people in his own palace and temple, there seems to be no such description in history, but Yun Zheng saw the most cruel scene alive today, okay, as long as the emperor starts to be bloodthirsty, it is a good phenomenon, as long as he starts to be bloodthirsty, he will value force, and it is precisely because he has a reliable force in his hand that the emperor will be bloodthirsty, and the two complement each other and are indispensable.
Thinking of today's execution, those Praetorian Guard executioners deliberately avoided people's necks and moved their guillotines down, Yun Zheng smiled happily. (To be continued.) )
