"Spare your life, spare your life...... I am a civil official, I have made meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, you can't kill me! ”

That team of brocade guards didn't expect that there would be another group of thieves, and at this time, they all drew their swords and prepared to slash and kill!

Zhang Jinyan immediately shouted and begged for mercy, but these brocade guards had already been ordered, and if they met a thief at this time, they could be killed immediately, plus the ban was issued early, the inner city in the city was better, and the outer city had long been strictly controlled, and it was strictly forbidden to go out at this time.

Zhang Jinyan saw that begging for mercy couldn't do it, so he wanted to put out the background, and when he heard that it was a civil official, the people around him also began to talk about their background, and the brocade-clothed Wei Qianhu hesitated at this time, these literati are not easy to deal with.

"Tie it up first!"

With an order, tie it up first, and then talk about it, how about the civil official, it may also be a thief, but it can't be killed directly, you probably can't afford to offend, and give it to the top for a headache!

"His Royal Highness, there are Zhang Jinyan, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, and others, with bad intentions......"

Yang Yi heard the news from below at this time, and waved his hand directly without looking into it at this time, and said, "All of them will be escorted to the noon gate and beheaded for public display!" ”

The herald came and went fast, and at this time the outer city was allowed to gallop by military horses, that is, the inner city, and the main streets were also cleaned up for military horses to gallop!

"Your Highness has an order, and a group of anti-thieves will be escorted to the noon gate to behead the public!"

As soon as they heard that they were going to be beheaded, those who had been tied up began to wail, and the shouts of sparing their lives, as well as the sound of howling and crying, were all frightened and shrunk back when they climbed on the wall to watch the excitement!

The noon gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City, there are the end gate, the Chengtian gate, the Daming gate in front of the noon gate, and then there is the Huangji Gate, which is the main office of Yang Yi today.

Within each gate, the corridors arranged neatly on both sides, this layout form of forming a square surrounded by the gates, and progressing layer by layer is influenced by the system of "five gates and three dynasties" of ancient Chinese architecture, which is conducive to highlighting the majestic and solemn characteristics of the palace building.

The east and west north sides of the noon gate are connected with the city platform on three sides, encircling a square square, the north gatehouse, facing nine rooms, the top of the yellow tile palace with heavy eaves; There are thirteen rooms on the east and west city platforms, row up to the south from both sides of the gatehouse, shape like goose wings, also called the goose wing building; In the east and west, there are heavy eaves and spire pavilion at the north and south ends of the winged building, the majestic noon gate, just like the three mountains surround, the five peaks protrude, the momentum is majestic, so it is commonly known as the five phoenix building.

There are five openings in the noon gate, but from the front, it seems to be three, in fact, there are two left and right doors on the front, which are open on the inside of the east and west city platforms, one faces west and one faces east.

These two doorways stretch into the platform to the east and west respectively, and then turn north and go out from the north side of the city; Therefore, from the back of the noon gate, there are five door openings, so there is a saying of "three bright and five dark"; The main entrance is usually only accessible to the emperor, and the queen can also enter once when the emperor is married; In addition, the three people who won the palace examination, Bangyan, and Tanhua can walk out of this door once.

The minister of civil and military affairs enters and exits the left door, the prince of the clan enters and exits the right door, and the left and right doors are usually not opened.

The two pavilions on the left and right of the gatehouse in the middle of the noon gate are equipped with bells and drums, and there are regulations on when to ring the bell and when to beat the drum.

The emperor sacrificed to the altar and rang the bell at noon gate; The emperor beats the drum when he worships the Taimiao; When the emperor ascended to the palace and held a ceremony, the bells and drums rang in unison.

In this era, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty beat the negligent ministers with a rod in the square outside the noon gate, and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were punished by the "court staff" quite a lot, because it was not forbidden to watch, so the people of the capital could see this scene, which also became a way for civil officials to invite fame, because there was no one who was killed on the spot before.

There are also a lot of yamen in this vicinity, there is a long street in Daming Gate, leading to Chengtianmen, both sides of the long street are yamen, the east side is the six departments, the Zongren Mansion, the Hanlin Academy, the right side is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Jinyiwei, Tongzheng Division or something, most of the Beijing officials of the Ming Dynasty are serving in these yamen.

Here in Chengtianmen, it is a wide aisle again, on both sides are the Sheji altar and the Taimiao, and at the end of the aisle, it is the legendary noon gate.

The so-called launch of the noon gate beheading, about in this piece, here to kill the head, in the real history, there is no such thing, there is a special place in the capital to execute, at this time in the East Fourth Archway.

On the side of the noon gate, it is not murderous, but now it is an exception, since Yang Yi set a precedent, after the court staff killed the first assistant, the second assistant and several Jiuqing, it dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the civil officials, and also killed the chicken to show the monkey, so that the Xungui group could not react in time.

Now this is the second time he has killed people in Wumen, and Zhang Jinyan is also one of the Jiuqing, the officials of the six departments, and there are many people who know him.

When Jinyi Wei escorted Zhang Jinyan and other thieves into Daming Gate, it was not too late at this time, but there were still officials walking slowly on the road, because professions such as sedan chair men had been banned by Yang Yi; And the various yamen in the Daming Gate are also running weakly, although they all open the doors, and there are officials and scribes arriving one after another, but in fact, most of them are useless at this time.

This meeting, at first glance, is almost no different from Li Zicheng's troops before they came to the capital!

The officials and scribes, large and small, all seemed very leisurely, and some of them were chatting as they walked, and most of the topics discussed had nothing to do with the ongoing war, and many of them were simply small things from the previous night.

How about fighting outside the city, in fact, few of these Beijing officials and courtiers in the Ming Dynasty cared, if it weren't for Yang Yi coming, in fact, most of them were similar to Zhang Jinyan, for them they couldn't be the officials of the Ming Dynasty, so they went to be the officials of Dashun, it was really not good, it was a big deal to go home and retire.

Of course, there are naturally loyal ministers, but most of these people are actually not in the capital, this is a big dye vat, and the people who come in will be dyed one color in a short time.

There are also a few ministers, who have now arrived in the Qianqing Palace, and Chongzhen are trying to come up with one or two ways to get the world back on track.

And when the Jinyi guards escorted more than a dozen officials, including Zhang Jinyan, the former secretary of the military department, into the Daming Gate to swagger through the city, at this time, the air near here suddenly froze!

This dress doesn't seem like a good thing, but what is going on, you have to rely on your own imagination to guess, the officials of the Ming Dynasty who are hurrying with their legs, chatting, and thinking about where to hide the money or how to surrender have all seen this incredible scene in front of them at this time.

What's going on?

Didn't this Zhang Jinyan step down? What are you doing with him? Isn't it? There are a few well-informed people, probably guessed, after all, Zhang Jinyan is not one or two in series, but in the past, everyone had their own thoughts, and at this time, Zhang Jinyan is not good!

This is obviously exposed, as for whether it is a secret or something else, no one knows, anyway, after a while, these people in the yamen will all be discussing.

Just when everyone was thinking nonsense, the Jinyi guard, who already had a loud voice, began to announce the edict: "Listen to it, Zhang Jinyan, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, and others openly rebelled, acting as a rogue insider, and were captured by the Jinyi guard on the spot, and they also copied more than a dozen copies of the congratulatory table and dozens of weapons, and the evidence is ironclad!"

Therefore, His Royal Highness issued an order to escort these thieves outside the noon gate and behead them! ”

What the?

Zhang Jinyan became a thief? It's so fast! I deserved to be caught!

The officials inside and outside all stopped talking, watching these Qiu Ba escort these civil officials to the noon gate, and then outside the noon gate, a murderous execution ground was set up!

This is really going to kill! The taste in my heart is uncomfortable, this official of the Ming Dynasty is really not good!

Zhang Jinyan was the secretary of the military department in the end, and when he came, he was stiff, although he was already colorless, but he was much stronger than those companions, and most of the people who followed Zhang Jinyan to meet and surrender were crying and begging for mercy there.

But I didn't expect that this was already certain death, unless there was a miracle, Li Zicheng suddenly jumped on his horse, is this possible? No way!

Many officials and scribes came to watch from afar, and several executioners stood tall with sharp knives in their hands at this time, their eyes showing fierce light, and they panicked when they saw it.

Then less than a stick of incense passed, a young man with a pale face came, this person was still young, but a robe showed his identity, the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

"His Royal Highness the Regent has an order to order the crown prince to be imprisoned!"

Zhu Cihong This is a disaster, the prince of the last dynasty, the saddest identity, but at this time he is still lucky, after all, it seems that the Ming Dynasty still has a chance to continue his life.

However, Zhu Cihong didn't know whether to be happy or cry, after all, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty couldn't call the shots, what could he, the prince, be assigned by Yang Yi to inspect the city all day long, although he had practiced some courage, but he had never killed anyone.

However, people must be killed! This is the order that Yang Yi gave him!

At this time, there was a thief who saw him, but he had a hint of joy, this thief was Shaozhan Zhiyu, Xiang Yu looked at Zhu Cihong with pleading eyes, he was Zhu Cihong's lecturer, at this time, he tried to use some kindness in the past, thinking if Zhu Cihong could save his life?

One by one, the heads fell to the ground, Zhu Cihong watched silently, but in his heart he felt that he might have changed, but he was just ......

Chongzhen also got the letter at this time, Yang Yi actually killed people at noon, and asked Zhu Cihong to go to prison, which made Chongzhen feel very uncomfortable, in this world, is it out of my control?

I'll change that later

"Erchen has seen his father."

Seeing that Yang Yi didn't even care about etiquette at this time, Chongzhen was even more annoyed in his heart, but he also had a trace of fear.

"Tell your father a few stories,

Let's put it this way, my father, Yang Sichang, Lu Xiangsheng, Li Zicheng, Li Guo, the five of you are traveling on the sea in a small boat, the boat is about to leak, and it can't take five people.

First, the father shouted "For the sake of the Ming Dynasty", and then threw Yang Sichang out, the boat did not leak for the time being, but after a while it began to leak again, and one more person had to be sacrificed.

The father looked at Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng shouted "For the sake of all the people in the world" and jumped out by himself.

But the boat was still leaking, so Li Zicheng shouted "For the people of the world" and threw his father down.

But the boat is still leaking.

At this time, Li Zicheng and Li Guo glanced at each other, shouted "for the sake of breaking into the army" together, and threw each other out.

This story, please judge for yourself.

Let me tell you another story of Li Zicheng:

A literati in Chang'an complained: "The king is really pretending. ”

As a result, he was immediately arrested by Niu Jinxing.

The literati defended, "I didn't say which king it was, how can you arrest me casually?" I'm actually talking about Zhang Xianzhong! ”

"You're less of a liar!" Niu Jinxing roared, "I've been working under the king for so long, I don't know who is the most pretending?" ”

This story is also carefully reviewed by my father, and I will talk about the third story:

An old man was wandering on the sidewalk, accidentally fell into the river next to the road, and immediately shouted for help!

When the two Guanning soldiers heard this, they turned a blind eye, and still talked and laughed as before.

The old man was in a hurry, and immediately shouted, "Chongzhen will die!" Long live Guan Ningjun! Unexpectedly, the two soldiers were still indifferent.

The old man thought for a moment and shouted, "Down with Wu Sangui!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! When the two soldiers heard this, they hurriedly jumped into the river and dragged the old man ashore to handcuff him.

I'll change that later
