"Qianhu, are we going back to Beijing now?" Youfanzi asked.

Yuan Dahai shook his head and said, "No, we won't go back to Beijing, let's go arrest Yang Lian!" He also instructed a fanzi to return to Beijing immediately to report and tell Wei Zhongxian and Sun Chengzong to make Ma Shilong's soldiers travel through Tongzhou, with the intention of bluffing and intimidating, and did not need to pay attention to it.

………

After Wei Zhongxian received Yuan Dahai's report, his heart was completely down-to-earth, and Sun Chengzong's side could be said to no longer have to pay attention to it.

Wang Tiqian said that it is necessary to take advantage of this time to propose to the emperor clear candidates for the first and second assistants of the cabinet. Wei Zhongxian said yes, the two of them entered the palace to find the apocalypse, saying that the first assistant of the cabinet, Han Yi, had resigned, and now the first assistant was vacant, and the emperor asked the emperor to indicate who should be the first assistant.

Tianqi asked how many people were left in the cabinet now, and Wei Zhongxian replied that it was Gu Bingqian and Wei Guanghui.

The apocalypse said that Gu would be the first assistant and Wei would be the second assistant, and Gu Wei and the two of them would be nominated by the same ministry as two more cabinet scholars.

Since then, Gu Bingqian has officially become the first assistant of the cabinet, and Wei Guangwei is the second assistant, and the cabinet governed by Gu and Wei has since become a veritable "Wei family cabinet".

The first thing Gu Bingqian did after becoming the first assistant was to propose that Xu Zhaokui be promoted to the rank of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials to replace the original Zuo Shilang Chen Yuting; Wang Shaohui is the imperial history of the left capital, and Gao Panlong, who resigned on behalf of the official; Qiao Yingjia was the deputy capital of the imperial history, in order to replace Yang Lian, who was dismissed;

Xu Zhaokui, Wang Shaohui, and Qiao Yingjia are the "three evil parties" in the eyes of the Donglin Party, and these backbone members of the Zhejiang Party and the Qi Party who have insisted on being enemies of the Donglin Party over the years can finally raise their eyebrows and wait until the day of success.

Not only these three people have been reused and promoted, but Sun Jie, Xu Dahua, Yang Weiyuan and others have also been promoted, and the situation in the DPRK and China that was originally entrenched by the Donglin Party in Jinjin has changed.

After Chen Yuting was taken from the post of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, he was not dismissed, but was reappointed as the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, because of his BMW and Yuan Dahai's recommendation, Wei Zhongxian was ready to make him the governor of Caoyun.

Cao Du is the first in the world, for this reason, the ecstatic Chen Yuting paid 30,000 taels of silver to Wei Zhongxian, and also prepared a congratulatory gift of 10,000 taels of silver to be presented when Yuan Dahai got married.

In addition, Feng Quan also benefited from this round of reshuffle, and he worked in the cabinet with the edict of the Hanlin Academy, and Ren Min often said in Wei Zhongxian's ear that Feng Quan was capable and could be a university scholar according to Yuan Dahai's meaning. This is too much, and coupled with a good impression of Feng Quan, Wei Zhongxian really moved his mind.

Wei Zhongxian missed the position of the secretary of the ministry who was extremely powerful, he originally wanted Huo Weihua to hold it, but he knew that the apocalypse directly appointed Cui Jingrong.

This Cui Jingrong once served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, neither Donglin, nor has anything to do with the three parties, and is neutral, and is the kind of official who does not touch either side. It is also a dark horse that neither the Eunuch Party nor the Donglin Party expected, because he has been at home for three years, but he was suddenly appointed directly from a "grass people" to the secretary of the Ministry of Heavenly Officials, which is really eye-catching.

After knowing the result, Wei Zhongxian's first reaction was also shock, and then his face was afraid, and he talked secretly with Wang Tiqian for a long time.

Later, Wei Zhongxian wanted to entrap Cui Jingrong and relied on being an important minister of the foreign court, so he did not hesitate to buy a large mansion and give it to Cui Jingrong after decorating it. However, Cui Jingrong politely declined and said, "If there is no merit, how can a gentleman take away the beauty of others?" ", I never went to check in, this is not to accept Wei Zhongxian's affection, and to make the position of the carriage and horse clear.

Wei Zhongxian was unwilling and sent Liang Dong to visit Cui Jingrong on behalf of Wei with gifts, but Cui refused to see him on the grounds of physical discomfort.

After eating two times in a row, Wei Zhongxian was really not angry, but he could only dare to be angry but not speak, let alone play a black hand against Cui, because he knew that Cui Jingrong's exit was a move by the emperor to beat himself. If you don't know how to be interested and dare to fight Cui's idea, I'm afraid that the emperor, who usually seems to like to have fun, will not hesitate to abolish himself.

On that day, the words that the Apocalypse said to him in the Qianqing Palace, Wei Zhongxian had always remembered in his heart, and he was afraid.

……………

Yang Lian was arrested on 24 April in Jining, Shandong Province, and was escorted to Beijing by Yuan Dahai on the same day. Before leaving, Yuan Dahai allowed Yang Lian to say goodbye to his wife, which was a small humanitarian concern.

Yang Lian said to his wife: "You don't have to worry about me! I have a great reputation in the party, they don't dare to kill me, and I have a lot of good relationships on weekdays, and I will always turn evil into good fortune when I encounter trouble. If you return home with your children, don't do anything for me, someone in Beijing will take care of me. ”

Yuan Dahai listened to it, smiled disdainfully, and didn't say anything in front of Yang's wife.

After entering Beijing, Yang Lian was not taken to the imperial prison, but was directly taken to the black prison in Dongchang by Yuan Dahai.

Qian En was a natural tool for killing and using torture, and under his care, the black prison has begun to take shape.

All prisoners in prison must bring torture instruments such as flails, shackles, and shackles to the neck, hands and feet, and must lie on their backs and cannot toss and turn. I don't know if Qian En did it on purpose, or because of the environment, the room used to hold prisoners was full of rats, and it was said that **Xing was bitten by rats every night, and his body was often bloodstained and miserable.

The walls of the cells were several feet thicker, and even the next door was screaming, and there was no knowledge of it. Qian En set the system, there was no fire in the prison in winter, and the prisoners had to be frozen, that is, shivering in the cold room. In summer, it is even more impermeable to the mén window, allowing the wet mold to rot the prisoner's body.

What is even more unacceptable is that Qian En stipulated that the family members of all prisoners who enter Dongchang Prison are not allowed to visit the prison, and only when the prisoners pass through the hall can they watch outside the hall, and it is strictly forbidden to talk. Of course, there must be a premise for this, that is, if the chief officer allows it, if it is not allowed, the relatives are absolutely not allowed to see the prisoner. For a long time after the establishment of this system, a large number of prisoners in black prisons died tragically, but they were not able to meet their relatives and say a word before they died, which can be called a tragedy in the world.

Qian En did not innovate the torture tools of the black prison, but used the five bodies of Jinyiwei and the lobby of the criminal department, namely shackles, sticks, hammers, clamps, and weapons.

The shackle is an iron shackle, five or six feet long, which is coiled around the left foot, and when the right foot is tortured, the left foot can not move.

The stick is a Yang Yu stick, which is five feet long. When a person is beaten with a stick, a rope is tied around the prisoner's waist, and then the two ends of the rope are stepped on separately to force the prisoner not to turn sideways, and then the prisoner's feet are tied with a rope so that they cannot shrink.

It is a kind of torture instrument that pinched the fingers. That is, the rope is threaded on five small wooden sticks one foot long and four minutes wide, and then the prisoner's fingers are put into the "hammer", and the prisoner is first made to kneel down during the execution, and then Fanzi uses a thick stick to beat the small wooden sticks that are worn together, and the more the small wooden sticks are struck, the tighter they are strangled, and the more unbearable the pain of the prisoner.

There are two clamping sticks, each three feet long, and three pairs of sticks are tied. During the torture, the stick was first put upright, then the prisoner's foot was tied to the stick, and then a stick was placed on the left side of the prisoner's foot so that it could not be moved, and then the fan picked up a large shoulder six or seven feet long and four inches thick, and struck the prisoner's foot and tibia from the right side.

The machine is made of a wooden plank one foot long and four inches wide, with two round holes dug in the middle, which is used to place the prisoner's arm, which is not taken off when he is tortured, and removed when he returns to the cell, and is put on whenever the prisoner passes through the court to stand trial; Even when a prisoner is killed, he must wear a weapon on his arm.

After Yuan Dahai returned, he added red embroidered shoes, that is, using a red-hot iron to burn his feet, and horrific punishments such as cutting his spine, falling his fingers, and piercing his heart.

Of course, terror is not Yuan Dahai's goal, he also has more civilized means.
