In the last few days of the year, I was in a daze.

Emperor Zhu Honghua of the Ming Dynasty sat lazily on his dragon chair, the civil and military officials stood in the main hall, and I hid at the end of a group of eunuchs to secretly recuperate.

At this time, the governor of Gyeonggi Province stood up.

Although the governor of Gyeonggi Province has been in Chang'an, he is considered a magistrate, not a Beijing official, and generally does not go to the court, but today he came with an exception.

He said: "Your Majesty, the magistrate of Anding County has something important to ask to see the emperor, and he has something to give to the emperor personally. ”

The emperor came to the spirit: "Oh, what is it? ”

A man walked up, a middle-aged man, his clothes were very dirty and torn, and his face was unkempt.

He held something in his hand, knelt down three times, got up and said, "I am the magistrate of Anding County, and something big has happened in the county!" The minister asked the emperor to look at a few photos. ”

The emperor said, "What are the natural visions? ”

Recently, there have been a lot of "natural visions" all over the country, such as what "Heavenly Divine Stone", "Heavenly Phoenix", "Sea Out of the Dragon", "Divine Son Appeared", etc., what "natural vision" does the county magistrate of Anding have this time?

The Emperor took those pictures.

Because I was behind the emperor, I also took a sneak peek.

It was a few photographs, color, large, very clear, of the blood-stained earth, the ruined streets, the corpses, the flames under the smoke. Such a large color photo is very expensive, and it is not something that ordinary people can photograph.

The emperor pouted: "What is this?" ”

Anding County Magistrate: "Your Majesty, yesterday afternoon, thousands of bandits came to several villages in Shaanshui Township, Anding County, and killed hundreds of villagers!" Several villages were burned down! Please call the shots of Your Majesty! ”

The emperor's eyes widened and he was furious: "There is such a thing! This kind of tragedy happened in Lang Lang Qiankun! ”

Anding County Magistrate: "Really, Your Majesty! I also brought those village chiefs and begged His Majesty to let them talk about them. ”

A few more people who looked like village chiefs came up, all old men in their fifties and sixties.

When they came, they knelt down, snorted and wept, and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty!

Tragedy, tragedy!

A few days ago, a group of people came to our village in a car and found us, the stewards, and said to buy our land.

We asked them who they were, and they didn't say. They say that one acre of land will cost one copper dollar! One acre of land is one copper dollar! One copper dollar! One copper dollar can only buy one steamed bun!

When we said no, they beat us, with leather whips, with rifle butts, and several of us were beaten half to death.

They said that if we didn't sell it, they would slaughter our village.

We were afraid that they would come again, so we set up tents in the fields and took turns guarding them.

Yesterday before dawn, countless people armed with iron rods and machetes came at our villagers.

They were dressed in neat uniforms, belts around their waists, knives and axes, some even had guns pinned to them, and some carried flags.

Some people also drove cars directly to the tents, and many people were knocked down and crushed to death, and the dry soil was stained with blood and mud.

There was an old village chief in his seventies who tried to stop them, but they cut him down, and the old man was still struggling, and several people poured gasoline on him and burned him alive! Unfilial!

There was a little girl who was beaten half to death by a group of men, and then she was ruined! Poor thing!

There was a man who wanted to save him, and the gangsters stabbed him with iron cones and iron rods, and he was a poor strong man, who was stabbed to the point of not being human!

The woman tried to save him, and the crazy gangsters picked up machetes and cut her into several pieces! It's terrible!

The prime of life in several of our villages wanted to stop them.

But they took out guns and explosives, and we only had sticks and shovels!

They shot directly at us, and bombs were dropped on our heads.

The eyes were full of gunpowder smoke, and the cries of the villagers were in my ears.

In a few moments, all of us fell, our clothes were charred, and our bodies were covered with wounds, and they didn't let any of them go, and they picked up shovels and hit them on the head!

They killed us and took out gasoline to destroy the corpses!

In the end, we risked our lives to arrest a few gangsters and begged the emperor to interrogate them personally. ”

-

-

The Emperor was furious!

The ministers were in an uproar!

All the people went up and said, "There is no forgiveness for killing!" "The sin is unforgivable!"

Several people were brought up.

It was a few strong men, with burnt marks on their clothes, and their faces covered in blood, all looking terrified.

The head of the criminal department said: "What a boldness, the roots of the imperial city dare to cause trouble!" Who do you say? Recruit from the truth! ”

The men looked around in a trembling voice, but could not speak.

Minister of Criminal Justice: "Torture!" ”

A few guards came up and pricked them with needles and sticks. All I heard was the sound of crunching bones breaking, accompanied by their screams.

The emperor watched all this with interest.

They were thrown to the ground like a mess of mud.

They said angrily:

"We are the Eunuchs and the Beggars.

The day before yesterday, we were taken to Anding County by the gang leader, saying that the Diao people in several villages were causing trouble, and we were told to fight and give us a full meal at a time.

So more than a thousand brothers walked to Anding County.

Some people gave us clothes and weapons, and some adults said that even if we fight, we will be fine.

But the villagers on the other side had already prepared, and there was a scuffle, and many of us died.

In the end, everyone went crazy, and some of us were arrested by the villagers and burned alive.

Eventually I fainted, and I don't know what happened. ”

Emperor Zhu Honghua said: "What a bold man! I knew it was these gangsters who did it! Come on, destroy all the rivers and lakes and martial arts for me! ”

At this time, Prime Minister Li Guozhong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the eunuch gang and the beggar gang are our people." We have appointed the helpers. ”

The emperor's eyes widened: "Oh, is it? ”

The head of the criminal department said: "We have also arrested the leaders of the beggar gang and the eunuch gang. Bring them up! ”

So Hong Yigong, the leader of the world's first gang of beggars, and Wei Nan, the gang leader of the world's second gang of eunuchs, were brought up.

The eunuch gang is a gang of eunuchs, and its purpose is "the eunuchs in the world are one family". Because "the second son of a commoner is a eunuch", coupled with all kinds of desperate people who are emasculated into slavery, the eunuchs can help no less than tens of millions of people. Their sect leaders, supervisors, and protectors were all members of the imperial court.

The beggar gang is a gang of beggars, with the purpose of "the beggars in the world are one", with hundreds of millions of people. The Beggar Gang is about the same as the Eunuch Gang, with a worse status than the Eunuch Gang, but a better reputation than it. Of course, ordinary people don't actually know that the eunuch gang and the beggar gang are controlled by the imperial court.

When the two gang leaders came up, they kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said in trembling voices: "Your Majesty, someone asked us to do this. ”

The head of the criminal department said, "Who is it?" ”

At this time, the two of them dodged and didn't dare to speak.

The head of the criminal department said: "Why don't you say it! Can't even the emperor control this? How big is this man? ”

The emperor said, "Say it quickly, or I will destroy all of you!" ”

The two of them kowtowed vigorously again and shouted, "Your Majesty spares your life, it was the prince who asked us to go!" ”

The imperial court immediately boiled. There are many people who directly impeach the prince and demand that he be stripped of his title.

The emperor began to scratch his head and did not speak.

-

At this time, the eunuch was ordered to report: "The prince has arrived." ”

The tall prince Zhu Hongfeng walked in.

He walked up to the emperor and said breathlessly, "I was looking for the emperor's brother." ”

He said: "Big brother, yesterday I went to Anding County to enclose the land and was beaten!" I'm a royal family, I'm surnamed Zhu, and several of my personal eunuchs have died! If I hadn't run fast, I might have been killed! ”

The head of the criminal department said: "Is it the eunuch gang and the beggar gang you are looking for?" ”

The prince glared at him and said, "It's me!" The forbidden army and the imperial army all eat and don't work, what does the emperor raise them for, he doesn't even listen to me! ”

He turned to the emperor and said, "Brother, those Diao people are armed with weapons, and they still dare to resist, and many of my people have been killed by them." This is a rebellion! Look at me. ”

He rummaged around for wounds, but there were no wounds at all, except for white flesh.

He said: "Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have been hacked to death by Diao Min!" Brother, my personal eunuchs have been beaten to death, please let my brother make the decision for me! ”

The Emperor nodded, "Hmm".

Lin Jiaxiang, the leader of the Jiangnan Party, stepped forward and said: "The emperor wants the people to be the masters." ”

Jin Yuguang, the head of the household department, stepped forward, stood next to Lin Jiaxiang and said, "You are not from Gyeonggi, and you are not from the royal family, what are you doing with this?" Eat and hold on! ”

Lin Jiaxiang: "Because I am also a member of the Ming Dynasty, I want to help the people of the Ming Dynasty speak." ”

Jin Yuguang: "Okay, you, are you rebelling?" The people of the Ming Dynasty belong to the emperor, not yours, why do you care about the emperor's people? You're really a rebel! ”

Lin Jiaxiang shouted anxiously: "I'm for the emperor's country." ”

Jin Yuguang began to learn his dialect, and shouted exaggeratedly: "The forehead is for the material emperor Dejiang San, the forehead is for the material Emperor Dejiangsan." ”

He said, "The barbarian can't even speak. ”

The Emperor laughed.

The prince Zhu Hongfeng said: "When I enclosed the land, they used knives and guns against me, is it considered a rebellion?" Someone dared to shoot at the royal family! ”

The prince said to the village heads, county heads, and provincial governors, "Have you used knives and guns?" Did you kill my people? ”

The men panicked and said, "They killed our people first." ”

The prince shouted: "Look! They dare to shoot at the people of the royal family! Great rebellion! ”

Jin Yuguang also stood up and said: "The prince beat you, you came to tell the emperor, you dare to beat the prince!" This is clearly a rebellion! ”

The emperor was furious and said, "Diao Min is reversed! I'm going to send the Janissaries to blow them up to powder! ”

He said to Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court in the first row: "Liu Xingchao, you sent the plane of the forbidden army to bomb them. ”

Liu Xingchao's face turned pale, and he said, "Your Majesty, why do you need to ban the army when you fight a few villages." The forbidden army should not be used lightly. ”

Jin Yuguang: "Are you the emperor or is the emperor the emperor?" Does the forbidden army listen to you or to the emperor? Are you ......"

Liu Xingchao turned his head to him and shouted, "Shut up!" ”

Jin Woo-gwang looked at him in surprise.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, then I don't want to ban the army." I'll send the Imperial Army. ”

……

The later forbidden history called the tragedy of that day as: Daming Honghua 12.23 Anding bloody case.

The next day, thousands of villagers were beaten to death, tens of thousands fled, and the reputation of the emperor and prince was infamous. The later forbidden history is called: Daming Honghua 12.24 Anding Bloody Case.

And the "Royal History Book of the Ming Dynasty" records as follows:

-

-

History will not forget, subjects will not forget!

Years of hardships on the pilgrimage, years of longing for piercing, and the great events that shade the descendants come true today - the prince has come to Anding County!

All the subjects of the county share the glory of the royal family!

Today is December 24 of the first year of Daming Honghua, and the foundation stone of the Anding Prince's Mansion was officially laid in Shaanshui Township, Anding County, and 1.2 million Anding County citizens warmly welcomed the prince's visit.

With tears in their eyes, they sang the folk song "We Are the Happiest":

Blue sky

White clouds

Gentle wind

Spacious street

Hung with colorful lanterns

Our Daming grains are abundant

Our Imperial Army is invincible

We are passionate

We can do anything

Because we have the inheritance of the royal family

This is our dream of Daming

Daming is our home

The Emperor is our father

We are the happiest

We are most content

The world has nothing to envy!
