The sound of "popping" sounded in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, one after another, sometimes mixed with the sound of wailing. Zhang Sheng looked at the scene of the execution in front of him, and there was no fluctuation in his heart, waiting for the thirty canes to pass, so that he could return to Zichen Hall to make an errand.

Long before the execution began, Zhang Sheng had already confessed to these in-house servants: for Lu Wuhou, he had to "fight with his heart". Therefore, when he passed by Lu Wuhou, Zhang Sheng closed his toes and reminded the inner attendant of the execution of this point again, and only after seeing the inner attendant nodding invisibly, he was relieved to supervise the other people.

After thirty canes, Lu Wuhou, Lu Zusheng and the others were dying, and the imperial doctor and the attendants who were guarding the side hurriedly bandaged and medicated these people.

Lu Zusheng, Bao Qiming and Xu Zishan's injuries looked much more serious than Lu Wuhou's, their buttocks were blurred with blood, and although Lu Wuhou's buttocks were also bleeding, he could barely stand up.

After the sentence was over, Zhang Sheng didn't say anything, and left the front of the Xuanzheng Palace with a few prison attendants. In front of this Xuanzheng Palace, there will naturally be the rest of the inner servants and the imperial doctor and others to clean up their hands, and he is very clear about the ability of these inner servants to carry out the execution: Lu Zusheng and the three seem to be seriously injured, but they will be fine after a few months of rest, Lu Wuhou looked at the light injury, but it was only a matter of two or three days, and he could rest assured that he would return to Emperor Changtai.

The news that Emperor Changtai had sent Lu Wuhou and others thirty court rods in front of the Xuanzheng Palace soon spread. At the end of the unitary period, the officials of the three provinces and the monasteries all knew about this incident, and their reactions were different, some were surprised, some were sure of it, and some were afraid. There is also a sense of rejoicing.

When Lu Wuhou insisted on kneeling in front of the Xuanzheng Hall and refused to leave, Shen Ke had already guessed his ending, but he didn't expect that Lu Zusheng and others would also be punished, although Lu Zusheng and others also knelt in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, they knelt in order to persuade Lu Wuhou. These thirty court rods have been wronged too much.

According to Shenke's understanding of Emperor Changtai's actions, he should not be able to blame these three people. Therefore, Shen Kecai turned a blind eye to the behavior of Lu Zusheng and others, but he didn't expect that this would cause trouble, and it was not a trivial matter for four Wupin to be given a staff at the same time in the matter.

Shen Ke couldn't sit still at home on Shifu Street, so he hurriedly went to Shang Pharmacy to invite the imperial doctor Sun Boyang. Take him with him to heal the wounds of these people.

Three days later, the province of Menxia gave Lu Wuhou a pawn, and a white flag and white lantern were erected in front of the door of the Lu Mansion, and the officials of the Menxia Province and other officials who had dealings with Lu Wuhou received a funeral report from the Lu Mansion.

These officials all knew that he died because of the court staff, and he lost the emperor's heart and was killed by the Changtai Emperor's staff, and they were worried about whether they should go to mourn, and they were also worried about how to deal with Lu Wuhou's funeral. asked Shenko one after another: What do you think?

Lu Wuhou's death was expected by Shenko, but he did not expect that the time would be so short. It's only been three days! It's really poignant!

Lu Zusheng and the other three are still slowly recuperating from their injuries, and Sun Boyang said that they are not in serious trouble, and they only need time to recuperate to recover as before. Now that the Lu Mansion has reported the funeral, Shen Ke is also thinking about Lu Wuhou's death. In any case, Lu Wuhou is an official of Menxia Province, and as the head of Menxia Province, he must come up with a charter to deal with it.

Considering that Emperor Changtai was righteous on his head, Shen Ke thought that Lu Wuhou's funeral should be simple, and the officials under his door did not need to go to the Lu family to mourn with great fanfare. Silk gold can be prepared more, which is of more practical significance to the Lu family.

But Zichen Hall handed out the words at this time, Lu Wuhou's funeral was handled according to the specifications of the five-grade official, and he could do what he wanted!

Shen Ke and other officials were still wondering, and the next day Emperor Changtai had an official will to come down and give Lu Wu a generous funeral. He was crowned as a doctor from the fourth grade, and the relevant officials of Menxia Province were also ordered to take care of Lu Wuhou's funeral! In this way, instead of being desolate behind him, Lu Wuhou had a greater grief than when he served in the matter.

Emperor Changtai's will confused the officials of Menxia Province, and Lu Wuhou was angry with the emperor, which is certain, and Emperor Changtai actually crowned him as the middle doctor, which means that Lu Wuhou's impeachment and remarks in the Xuanzheng Palace are right or wrong? The officials can't figure it out, the emperor's heart is unpredictable.

But soon, they figured out what Emperor Changtai meant. Because with Lu Wuhou's will to reward and bury him, there is also a paper order, and the content of this order is very simple, that is, Zuo Liangzhe was promoted to serve under the door, and he also served as a bachelor in Hongwenguan.

In fact, Lu Wuhou was sceptered by the court because he opposed Zuo Liangzhe's appointment as a subordinate servant, Lu Wuhou died, Zuo Liangzhe was still promoted, and Emperor Changtai was even more favored to him, allowing him to concurrently lead the bachelor's position of Hongwen Pavilion.

This shows that Emperor Changtai still thinks that Lu Wuhou's behavior in the Xuanzheng Palace is wrong, and the thirty court staff is also reasonable, so what is the matter with the sealing and burial?

The officials were speculating that Emperor Changtai was right about things and not about people, and that Lu Wuhou was wrong in the matter of Zuo Liangzhe, but looking at him as an official, he was a loyal and upright person. If you have a fault, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded, so you will be able to add a scepter and seal - many officials think that they have figured out Emperor Changtai's thoughts, and they are also lamenting that Emperor Changtai has clear rewards and punishments, and he is Mingjun.

Of course, there are also many officials who are puzzled by Emperor Changtai's approach, which is so strange and repetitive, and it is not a description of clear rewards and punishments.

Some officials are speculating that Emperor Changtai is calming the minds of hundreds of officials, especially in the minds of appeasing the provincial officials, Lu Wuhou is dead, and the disturbance caused by him should also come to an end.

There are other officials who think that Emperor Changtai's move must have a deeper meaning, but it is not clear at the moment - this is what the officials represented by Shen Huashan, the servant of the Zhongshu, think, and this faction of officials includes Wei Jingyao, the left and right servants of Shangshu, Xiao Houren, Ye Zhengchun and others.

After Lu Wuhou's funeral was completed, there was no suitable candidate to fill the vacant position due to his death, and Emperor Changtai did not approve all the candidates reported by the ministry, either thinking that this official was inappropriate or that the official was inappropriate.

After Lu Wuhou's incident, the officials of the Ministry of Officials thought that it was normal for Emperor Changtai to be so strict in selecting people in the matter, and the Ministry of Officials did not report the candidates later, and planned to talk about this matter coldly. The Ministry of Officials did not report the candidates, and Emperor Changtai and the Ministry of Menxia did not urge, so in this way, the vacant position in the matter continued to be vacant.

Lu Zusheng, Bao Qiming and Li Zishan, the three of them, were also treated by the court staff because of Lu Wuhou's matter, and they are still recuperating at home. Imperial Doctor Sun Boyang said that the injuries of these three people will not be healed in three or five months.

In view of this situation, Emperor Changtai decided to release Lu Zusheng and three other officials to fill the vacancy of Lu Zusheng and others, and Emperor Changtai also gave special grace to let Lu Zusheng and others recover from their injuries before going to office.

In this way, the duties in the matter will operate as usual, and Lu Zusheng and others can also recuperate from their injuries with peace of mind. Among the three newly transferred ministers, they were Zhan Cheng, Ke Hanlin, and Lin Chujun, who took over the affairs of the affairs in the affairs.

It is worth mentioning here that these three people are all confidants and cronies of Emperor Changtai, Zhan Cheng is the niece and son-in-law of the Empress Dowager Ciyi, and has done large and small private affairs for Emperor Changtai; And Ke Hanlin and Lin Chujun's father was the companion of Emperor Changtai when he was still the prince, and he was also a meritorious person who assisted Emperor Changtai to ascend the throne, and Emperor Changtai had great trust in Ke Hanlin and Lin Chujun.

In just over ten days, all the officials in the matter have been replaced. With the appointment of Zhan Cheng and others, the daily operation of the matter has also resumed, and it seems that the court staff at the end of the first month has gone away in the minds of the officials.

However, many officials still have fear when they think of Lu Wuhou's affairs, and they even have a lot less words in the previous court, and they don't care about things that have nothing to do with their official positions.

In particular, the officials of Menxia Province and Yushitai are more cautious about impeachment and picketing - the matter of Lu Wuhou being beaten to death by the court staff is still in front of him, and if he says a few words, he can avoid the pain of flesh and skin, so why not do it? Therefore, after the court staff, the court seemed to be much quieter.

In the final analysis, the death of the court staff and Lu Wuhou this time still had a bad impact on the morale of officials, most people's nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they were killed by the court staff, how many officials can have such courage and determination? For the sake of his family and life, it is better to be silent.

In this way, from the middle of the matter to the imperial history platform, the counselor was only in charge of picketing and impeaching hundreds of officials, and became a pawn of the emperor to control the ministers.

Although there are still three people who still have the power to refute and picket, with the appointment of Zhan Cheng and others, the authority in the matter has changed, and its unique right to refute and picket has been virtually lost.

Because Zhan Cheng and others were the confidants of Emperor Changtai, they were naturally the only ones who obeyed Emperor Changtai's orders, and the powers such as sealing and refuting edicts and picketing holy will were just words on paper, and there would never be such an implementation. It can be said that the appointment of Zhan Cheng and others means that the position of correcting the emperor has become the emperor's eyes and ears.

Without the restrictions in the matter, the hundred officials did not dare to speak out easily, and Emperor Changtai acted more freely after that.

The 38th year of Changtai's court staff is of far-reaching significance. This is the sorrow of the Dayong Dynasty, and it is precisely because of this court staff that the courtiers' atmosphere has changed, and they have shifted from guarding the right way to protecting themselves.

In this regard, later history also asserted, history said: "The prestige of the faceless folding of the court in the matter has gradually changed from the official of words to the official of picketing, and the so-called refutation, cancellation, hearsay, and impeachment are not only on behalf of the Son of Heaven to observe all things, but his ears, eyes, hands and ears, and by no means to admonish the Son of Heaven and correct the court."

But this is all a later story, at this time, not many officials can perceive the sorrow of this great eternal dynasty.
