Gu Dayong is even more unrestrained here, he took over the work, naturally it is impossible to just look at these people who are on the fold, this is a great opportunity for their eunuchs to eliminate dissidents, he relied on the emperor's will, in the name of colluding with Yang Jiang to conspire against the crime, with Xichang everywhere to arrest people.

Soon, Guozi Jian Xuezheng Taozi, Langzhong Xiang Shifang of the Criminal Department, Hanlin Editor Wang Yuanzheng and many others were arrested into the West Factory, and these people were also accused of beheading, dismissal of officials, and raiding of homes, and no one could come out of the West Detective Factory without embarrassment.

also burned this fire to the place, the government and the opposition were suppressed, Gu Dayong quickly replaced Liu Jin, Liu Xi and others, and became the new eunuch who wanted to get rid of the civil officials in the future.

On the thirteenth, Jin Yiwei finally caught the disfigured prince of Nanwang in a mansion in the capital, and he confessed to his rebellion in the edict prison.

originally asked to assassinate the emperor directly, but Ye Gucheng refused to agree, and only agreed to transfer the tiger from the mountain for the king of the south, but unfortunately, the plan was good, but Zhu Houzhao did not live in the Forbidden City, but stayed in the leopard room every day.

Zhu Houzhao, who was extremely disgusted with the Nanwang family, directly ordered that the Nanwang and his family were all escorted into the capital with Jinyiwei first, waiting for the fate, and when the matter was over, the Southern Domain would be removed.

Cao Zhengchun led people to surround the foothold of Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, in the capital, and after a secret conversation with him, Ye Gucheng informed Ximen that he would choose a day to fight again.

On the 15th, Zhu Houzhao dragged his sick body and went to the West Fourth Archway, where a group of civil and military ministers were waiting early, and there were a large number of people watching the excitement.

Zhu Houzhao was tightly wrapped, and the whole person looked okay in spirit, but his eyebrows were gloomy, and with his thin face, it made people feel chills in their hearts.

"To let you watch the punishment is to let you see the fate of this rebellion. cough, today is just a criminal official, and when their families are transferred to the capital, I will ask you to see a batch of beheadings. There are a lot of tricks today, you Aiqing have a look, I have been supervised by the brocade guard, if any Aiqing has closed his eyes, there is no need to stay in the capital. Ahem, okay, let's get started. Zhu Houzhao's voice was naturally not enough for the audience to hear, but Cao Zhengchun followed, and by him, the emperor's voice spread all over the West Fourth Archway.

Since Zhu Houzhao went south to conquer the Ning Wang Domain, except for the ministers, no one has seen the emperor again, and he never thought that the emperor would come to the West Fourth Archway with them to watch the execution. When I saw it today, the emperor's state was obviously very bad, and the former spirit was completely gone, only the bones were thin, sickly, and the look between the eyebrows was gloomy, and everyone's hearts jumped.

In the past, although this emperor was scolded for being unconscious, these officials in Beijing knew what was going on.

Zhu Houzhao didn't like Wenzhi, and was bent on what he wanted to do, the generalissimo, and wanted to redeem the situation that after Yingzong was captured, the status of Wuxun plummeted, the government and the opposition promoted literature and suppressed the military, the monarch and the ministers deviated from Germany, and the border was full of smoke.

Unfortunately, his various measures have caused the civil service to scold everywhere, these people do not care about the country, they only value their own interests.

Zhu Houzhao used Liu Jin to sort out the salt affairs; A large amount of land was acquired as a royal village and rented to farmers for cultivation at a very low rent, which inhibited land annexation to a certain extent; Dispatch more tax supervisors to collect commercial taxes; Investigate the finances of various provinces, crack down on corruption, and uncover hundreds of corrupt officials; It has also established an official inspection system and working hours, and no absenteeism is allowed without reason, resulting in a scolding of officials!

Since the Tumubao Change, the officials of the Ming Dynasty prefer the emperor who does not act, rather than Zhu Houzhao who can toss like this, although in the name of the eunuch, but who can't see the emperor's handwriting?

Their vital interests were touched, the emperor could not move, and Liu Jin was the biggest target. Slander and framing are endless, and the most ridiculous thing is that they themselves believe it later.

Zhu Hou looked at these well-dressed beasts and sneered: "Call Jinyi Wei to be executed!" More than 3,000 knives, not a single knife is missing! Liu Daban, who he was thinking about, was killed by this group of people, and today can be regarded as avenging his companion and himself.

Ling Chi is a craft, there are really not many people who have mastered it, but fortunately, Xu Xianchun pulled a few Jinyi guards who were in charge of the punishment to learn the craft of slicing meat for two days in a row, so that three scholars, two celebrant eunuchs, a Dongchang Governor and Tai Hospital ordered to be punished together.

Several well-dressed and high-ranking people were quickly stripped of their clothes, and each of them was covered with a fishing net, and before the execution officially began, the officials and the common people became agitated.

The people are all coming to see the excitement, there are many things in the West Fourth Archway, they are used to it, but when the court is stripped naked, it is the first time, and they can't help but be excited when they see it with their own eyes.

The group of officials was full of discussions, and they all said: "It's insulting!" Insulting Sven! In his heart, he scolded Zhu Houzhao for being as cruel as a ruin, and a few people raised their sleeves to wipe their tears on the spot.

Jiang Bin, who was standing below Zhu Houzhao's position, looked at it coldly, pointed to the few who were crying and crying, and those who couldn't control their mouths, and said to Tian Ergeng behind him: "These people are taking Your Majesty's words as the wind in their ears, take a few brothers, and bring them closer, I see who dares to cry again, and someone will write down their names and take them all away when they are done." ”

"Let's do it." Tian Ergeng hurriedly responded. Xu Xianchun was silent on the side, and he didn't see the arrogance of the previous two days. Sure enough, his actions still provoked Jiang Bin's jealousy, Jiang Bin was still called "Brother Xu" before, but now he can no longer be that kind of close.

His own kung fu master pointed at the acupoints of Yang Tinghe and others to prevent them from struggling, for fear that they would break open the acupoints and bite their tongues and commit suicide, Jin Yiwei also unloaded the chins of several people.

Only then did he use a knife to start slicing a piece of meat the size of a copper coin from his chest, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw it into the sky, which is called "sacrificing heavenly meat", and at this time, the people waiting around him began to count.

Subsequently, the flesh skin on the heads of several people is separated, and the flesh skin that is pulled down will cover the eyes, which is called "blindfolding". This is to prevent the prisoner and the person in charge of the execution from looking at each other and affecting the execution.

Several people wailed constantly, Jiang Mian was sentenced to hanging, looking at the tragic situation of several people, he was a little happy with a hemp rope around his neck, he felt ridiculous, shook his head, and simply left.

The hundred officials' faces were pale as if they had died of their father, but the people burst into bursts of applause, which caused the hundred officials and onlookers to shake their heads and sigh.

There are officials who feel that the punishment is too cruel, and there are also those who are not clean and have relatives, but the people are very simple, for them, it doesn't matter who is on the field, the key is that Ling Chi's scene is rare, it is both bloody and exciting, compared to storytelling, singing, cross talk, juggling, and exciting, they naturally have to cheer loudly.

Yang Tinghe and others still suffered more than 3,600 knives before they died, and Jinyiwei was afraid that they would die early, so he deliberately hung their lives on the ginseng film.

After the rebellion case, the Ming Dynasty soon ushered in two happy events, one was to canonize Shuguifei Jiang as the queen, and the other was to canonize the emperor's eldest son Zhu Zaiyuan as the crown prince.

There were two canonization ceremonies in succession, and Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was anxious, and he was also very busy. But no one dares to slack off, it's really those factory guards who are not people.

After Jiang Yuyan canonized the queen, Zhu Houzhao no longer avoided her, but began to teach her hand-in-hand, in order to assist Zhu Zaiyuan in the future.

There is no precedent for Daming to listen to politics, but the situation has come to this point, and there is no way to do it.

Zhu Houzhao still kept a hand, in order to prevent the queen mother's autocratic power in the future, he sent Jinyi Wei to quickly Zhao Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing into Beijing. Since Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Jiang Mian and others were executed, the civil official group has fallen silent a lot, and he understands that Mao Ji is useless, unable to suppress the factory guards, and lost his balance.

Wang Shouren made great contributions when he pacified King Ning, but at that time Zhu Houzhao wanted to be a general, and within two days after his personal expedition, Wang Shouren pacified King Ning, he was very unhappy, and bluntly asked Wang Shouren to release King Ning, and he General Zhu Shou personally led the army to pacify.

Wang Shouren was also stunned when he received the news, it was really like five thunderbolts, he really couldn't understand the emperor's brain circuit, what kind of operation was this?

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao's brain hurts, then Anbian Boxutai and a few people are really like rice buckets, so they let a civil official make a meritorious service, and they like to let the civil official ride on their heads so much?

Originally, King Ning has been sharpening his knives for hundreds of years, who treated them as dishes? What a perfect martial art it is for him Zhu Shou to settle it personally, why can't Xu Tai and others understand his painstaking efforts? King Ning too, even Wang Shouren can't hold it back, waste!

In the end, it was Wang Shouren who wrote and attributed the credit to "General Zhu Shouda, the Duke of Zhenguo", and this matter was stopped.

Although Zhu Houzhao did not wait to see Wang Shouren because of this matter, Wang Shouren's ability still left a deep impression on him, such a talent, and now this situation, of course, has to be left to his son.

Yang Yiqing is a former cabinet elder, has been a scholar, he once served as a trilateral commander-in-chief, long-term in charge of military affairs, from horse politics, responsible for the defense of the frontier governor, Zhu Houzhao did not forget to visit him during the southern tour, is a real minister.

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and added the names of Wang Qiong and Mao Ji, Wang Qiong is a rare person who does not deal with Yang Tinghe and does not accept bribes from Zhu Chenhao. He has the grace to support Wang Shouren, whether it is Cao Zheng, the household department, the military department or the official department, the work is diligent and capable. Such people should also be promoted.

Yang Yiqing, Wang Qiong, and Wang Yangming were quickly promoted under such circumstances.

Yang Yiqing was recalled to serve as the head of the household department, a scholar of the Jiawen Huadian University, and a young master of the crown prince after entering the meeting, as the first assistant of the cabinet.

Wang Qiong served as the secretary of the ministry and a scholar of the Jiawu Yingdian University.

Wang Shouren's qualifications are slightly shallow, and Zhu Houzhao is not too good, only from the original Zuo Du Yushi, to the left deputy capital Yushi, and served as the governor of Liaodong.

Zhu Houzhao told Jiang Yuyan that these people were the auxiliary ministers he was looking for for Zhu Zaiyuan, among whom Yang Yiqing was old, and Wang Qiong was criticized a lot in Shilin because of his proximity to the factory guards.

Jiang Yuyan was a little surprised, she didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to attach so much importance to Wang Shouren, after all, when he was on the southern tour at that time, he heard his dissatisfaction with Wang Shouren from Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "As an emperor, you can't just act on your own likes and dislikes, Wang Shouren is not only not wrong but meritorious, I have not been able to reward and punish clearly, I have already made mistakes, this time is also a remedy, such a character, should serve my Ming Dynasty." ”

Jiang Yuyan realized that in Ye Zhenzhen's memory, Wang Yangming, who proposed "the unity of knowledge and action" and "to conscience", was indeed a saint.

On April 1, the sixteenth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Houzhao died in the leopard room.
