Chapter 828: The Court Staff
More than 200 officials were pressed on benches and placed at the door of the noon gate, and then someone ripped off their pants and directly let a group of little eunuchs start to execute the court staff.
Before Chenghua, not only would he not pick up his pants when he was working with a staff, but he would also put a thick cloth under his buttocks, which was a symbolic beating. And when it came to Zhengde Liu Jinquan's opposition to the opposition, he directly ripped off your pants, which not only made your body more seriously injured, but also insulted your dignity.
At the gate of the noon gate, a white buttocks, the oldest of these ministers are almost seventy years old, where have they been insulted like this, one by one, their faces are flushed, and they almost vomit blood.
"Ladies and gentlemen, why do you have to be embarrassed by the Son of Heaven? When you are embarrassed by the Son of Heaven, you are embarrassing our family. Come on, hit hard. Zhang Yong's face was hideous, he was forced to have no way out, since he had offended the civilian official group, he would simply be offended to death.
The strength of such a thing as a staff can be controlled. If you want to release water, as long as you put some effort into playing, it will not be a problem to hit hundreds of times. And if he wants to beat you to death, it will take no more than thirty strokes to beat you until your ass is red and swollen, and your skin is open.
At first, these civil officials could still curse loudly because of the pain, but as the beating became more and more severe, many people's voices gradually fell low.
"Master Hu is dead!" Just when there were more than fifty beatings, suddenly, a little eunuch shouted, an old man in his sixties, his head was lowered at the moment, and he was clearly out of breath.
This Lord Hu is one of the heads of the household department, and this person's official position is not high, but if someone dies in the court staff, it will be a big trouble.
The little eunuch in charge of the court staff was also stupid, although he didn't deliberately retract his strength, but he didn't deliberately increase his strength, but who would have thought that this old man's body was too bad, and he was directly killed.
Although they are in the deep palace, they also know that the civil officials are powerful, if they really want to settle accounts after the autumn, then he can't please him.
"Fight, keep beating me, the emperor's decree, I have to hit eighty times, how much is missing, give me to make up for it quickly!" Zhang Yong saw this scene, and he also had some retreat in his heart, but he had no way out, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
There was no way, those little eunuchs had to continue to fight, until the eighty sticks were completely beaten, basically everyone was dying, the stronger ones were fine, and those with weak bodies were really angry. In the end, there were sixteen people who couldn't stand it after all, and they died.
"Inform all the governments to bring these people back, if you criticize the royal family again, you will not be spared. Zhang Yong adhered to Zhu Houxi's order and said to the group of little eunuchs.
Immediately all the eunuchs put their hands on each other, carried the ministers, and carried them to their respective mansions. The eighty court staff has been completed, since the emperor has not removed them, it means that they will still be in charge of the Ming Dynasty in the future, so these eunuchs do not dare to make things difficult anymore.
A court staff of more than 200 people also killed more than a dozen people, which has never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which instantly shook the entire capital, and then spread to all parts of the world at a very fast speed. Almost everyone's first reaction when they hear about this is disbelief, but that's what happened.
And this time, the court staff also gave the civil official group a slap in the face, making them recognize the reality clearly, it turned out that the emperor was ruthless, and he would really kill people.
After the court staff incident, Zhu Houxi ordered dozens of people to be demoted directly, and then pulled more than a dozen people from the heart school to take the position, and also gave Wang Shouren a new earl title, which is clearly intended to re-emphasize the rhythm of heart learning.
Originally, the people of the science sect still felt that their position was unbreakable, and the study of mind was just emerging, and they could not compete with them. But they completely overestimated the role of themselves and others, and also underestimated Zhu Houxi's determination.
At this moment, many people panicked directly, although they said happily, it was a big deal to resign together and make the court empty, but in fact, everyone's thoughts are different, some people may really not care about power and official positions, but some people can't let go. As a result, some radical physicists immediately chose to resign, while most remained silent and shrunk themselves into an ostrich.
Even Yang Tinghe and several other cabinet chiefs and assistants didn't say a word, even if their hardcore junior brother Mao Cheng was also in the ranks of being beaten and demoted, they still refused to speak out.
Because they realized a more serious problem, that is, the study of mind was about to rise. Mind and them, not only academic disputes, but also interests conflict, once this emerging faction grasps the right to speak, then science will be dealt a big blow. You know, in the past, the science of mind was denounced as heresy.
Yang Tinghe and others resolutely can't speak out at this moment, even if they are accused, they can't jump out, because they must hold the position of science, as long as a few of them are still in the cabinet, then Xinxue is always a small way.
"Yongxiu, how is your body?" Yang Tinghe sat in Yang Shen's room, looking at his son who had almost gone to half of his destiny, his face showed a trace of unbearability, and more loneliness, this old man seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight.
In the battle with Zhu Houxi, they were defeated. Perhaps it was Emperor Xiaozong's benevolent government that made the scholars forget the power of the emperor, this world, after all, is the biggest emperor, even if they are huddled together, they are not the emperor's opponents.
"Father, I'm fine. Yang Shen was lying on the bed, the whole person's mood seemed a little low, his buttocks had just been drugged by the doctor, and the doctor said that if he wanted to recover completely, it would take at least three months.
"If it's okay, rest early, but remember, noon...... Don't go any further. Yang Tinghe's palms trembled, and then tried to stabilize his emotions.
Yang Shen looked at his elderly father, and suddenly felt ridiculous in his heart. A few days ago, this strategizing old man was still thinking of taming the new monarch by means of "boiling eagles", who would have expected that in a blink of an eye, their gang would be defeated to this point. With a cane and a few people, the seemingly unbreakable civilian-bureaucratic group was torn apart.
"I'm not going. Yang Shen clenched his fists tightly, today's noon incident gave him a great impact, and also made him disheartened by this court, he was ready, and when his injuries were healed, he would resign and go home.
