Chapter 212 The situation is out of control
(Thanks to the monthly pass of the two of the weak tea Rumo and the origin immortal) Chapter 212
The court staff is not only a kind of torture, but also a kind of humiliation, the Ming Dynasty also had officials who were punished by the court staff before Zhengde, but it was more of a mental humiliation and punishment, and the spanking should be put on a thick cushion, which is also a kind of grace; Most of the officials who were beaten also got up and patted their buttocks and walked, and then scolded and said that they would be beaten again.
But today's punishment is different, stripping off his clothes and exposing his flesh, the Han general who was executed is also full of energy, and he has the momentum of not giving up without beating to death, so although Dai Mill is in his prime, how can he withstand it?
Seeing that someone was about to die, a young official couldn't bear it anymore, got up and shouted: "Liu Jin, are you going to fake the public and kill people?" ”
Everyone looked at him, but most people didn't know this person, but his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry knew him, this person's name was Wang Yangming, and he was a director of the Ministry of Industry, with a low official rank, so naturally few people knew him.
Liu Jin squinted and shouted, "Who are you?" Our family is under the emperor's dictation to punish those who storm the dormitory and cause chaos, do you have to force yourself to come out? ”
Wang Yangming said coldly: "Wang Yangming, director of the Ministry of Industry; Gonggong Liu, wouldn't it cost you to die if you continue to fight like this? Did the emperor let you beat someone to death? ”
Liu Jin said: "There were only twenty rods, but Dai Milling was unruly and unruly, so he was fined twenty rods, all of which were his own fault." ”
Wang Yangming lifted his robe and stepped out and shouted, "Then I will bear the remaining twenty canes for Lord Dai." ”
Liu Jin sneered: "You are really righteous, our family satisfies you." and when he came, he was rewarded with twenty rods. ”
Jin Yiwei came out left and right, wanting to grab Wang Yangming's arm, Wang Yangming shook his hand and said, "I will go myself." Then he walked to the bench, carefully took off his pants, lay on the stool in his small clothes, and shouted, "Come on." ”
Liu Jin snorted coldly: "Call me, Wang Yangming is strong, break the rules of the court staff, add ten rods, and reward him with thirty rods!" You're so good at fighting. ”
As soon as these words came out, Shi Wenyi's face changed, he knew the rules of the factory guard very well, and said, 'It's a good life to fight', that is, to beat him to death without leaving his hands. But Shi Wenyi naturally had no objections, he was already Liu Jin's person, and he also reached a secret agreement with Liu Jin, Liu Jin promised to promote him to replace Mu Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei, and he had already betrayed Mu Bin.
The mulberry sticks in the hands of General Jinyi Wei Dahan rose and fell, leaving no back, this Wang Yangming was also stiff, silent, gritted his teeth, and only raised his head and glared at Liu Jin.
Although Dai Mill had stopped being caned, he couldn't move his whole body, and the blood behind his buttocks was dripping and the flesh was blurred; Just as everyone was focusing on Wang Yangming's cane, Dai Mo gritted his teeth and stood up tremblingly; Several civil officials went up to help, but were blocked by Dai Miao's outstretched hand.
Dai Mo staggered a few steps, bowed to Wang Yangming, and then turned his head to bow to the ministers kneeling below, raised his head to the sky, and shouted: "First Emperor!" Open your eyes and take a look, save me Ming Dynasty, the minister will go with you, and the minister will tell everything that happened here in person. ”
After that, Dai Mill rushed out violently, and slammed into the dismounted boulder at the entrance of the hall, and everyone exclaimed, they couldn't pull it, only to hear a sound of Kala, Dai Mill's skull was broken, and his body slowly softened, and General Jinyi Wei Dahan rushed to help him up, but he had no breath at all, and his soul returned to the west sky.
The ministers were in an uproar, crying everywhere, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Liu Jian and others shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how can you sit still in the palace?" Emperor...... Emperor......! ”
Liu Jin shouted: "What are you arguing about? Dai Mill deserves to convict himself, look at what he said, what did he say to save my Ming Dynasty, this is a blatant slander of the emperor's incompetence, although Dai Mill is dead, the crime still needs to be investigated. ”
The incident was alarmed, and the two Jinyi guards who were executing Wang Yangming stopped, and Liu Jin shouted: "Stop, what are you doing?" Keep playing. ”
The two brocade-clothed guards raised their sticks and wanted to hit again, but they heard a break in the hall: "Stop." ”
Liu Jin looked stunned, and saw Song Nan walking out with a blue face, Liu Jin said, "Lord Song, what are you doing?" ”
Song Nan looked at Dai Miao's corpse, then at Wang Yangming's flesh-and-blood lower body, and then at the group of grief-stricken civil officials below, and finally felt that it was a mistake to help Liu Jin; Although the ministers were also too much this time, and they were also targeting themselves, such a situation was definitely not what Song Nan wanted to see, Liu Jin was already a little out of control, and he really didn't see that Liu Jin was so ruthless.
"Father-in-law Liu, let's stop in moderation." Song Nan said coldly.
Liu Jin said: "You pity them, don't forget, they will also kill you." ”
Song Nan said: "It's not good for me, and I don't want to take human life because of this, a person has already died, don't you plan to stop?" ”
Liu Jin saw that Song Nan was indeed annoyed, and his eyes rolled and said, "Okay, give you Lord Song a face, and spare Wang Yangming." ”
Song Nan stepped down the steps and helped Wang Yangming up from the bench. Wang Yangming pushed Song Nan's hand away and said, "What do you want to save?" Don't think that I will be grateful to you if you pretend to be a good person, you are all good all the way, and you are all ministers. ”
Song Nan was speechless and said in a low voice: "I'm not here to make you thank, it's just that this method hurts yourself in vain and sacrifices your life in vain, what's the point?" ”
Wang Yangming didn't answer, limping back to the ranks of civil officials, and wanted to continue to kneel, but he couldn't bend his knees anyway.
Song Nan turned his head to look at the Wenchen who were all over the room, and arched his hand and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just came out of the emperor's study, and the emperor is angry, why should you embarrass yourself, please go back." ”
"Get out of the way, what are you?" Xie Qian roared.
"Lord Song, you are not qualified to say such a thing, please go away." Liu Jian said.
Song Nan sighed, turned his head to Zhang Yong, and said, "Grandpa Zhang, please get some water and food, don't be hungry and thirsty." ”
Zhang Yong wanted to ask Liu Jin to show him, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's go get it here." ”
Liu Jin's face was pale, and he looked at Song Nan with a sneer on his face.
The ministers didn't appreciate it at all, and shouted one after another: "It has nothing to do with you to die of thirst and starvation, and if you make a courtier, don't get out of the way." ”
Song Nan looked at Li Dongyang and said, "Elder Li Ge, is this the result you want?" Lord Dai is dead, Lord Wang is being scepter, and all of you are tired, is this your original intention? ”
Li Dongyang said indifferently: "Wen is dead, martial arts is dead, there are some things that you Lord Song will never understand." ”
Song Nan sighed: "Don't think others are too stupid, are you really admonishing them for Liu Jin?" But it's just for the sake of his own face and dignity, sacrificing human life in vain, in exchange for respect? I can't see it. ”
Li Dongyang and the others were shocked, and the secret in their hearts was broken by Song Nan's words, but they didn't want to admit it: "Is Lord Song speaking on behalf of the emperor?" If not, please go aside. ”
Song Nan sighed, ordered someone to carry down Dai Miao's body, scrub it and put it aside, turned around and slowly left the Qianqing Palace, the situation was out of his control, he had persuaded Zhengde in the study for a long time, but Zhengde didn't listen to it at all for some reason, blaming Song Nan for going back on his word, one time to be tough, and the other time to compromise himself.
Song Nan smiled bitterly, Zhengde didn't understand the meaning of what he said to him in the back garden, toughness is not equal to extreme, compromise is not equal to weakness, he wants him not to be coerced by civil officials, but he doesn't want him to connive at Liu Jin's killing; But Zhengde couldn't listen to these words at this time, Zhengde was in a kind of confrontational excitement, that is, the news of Dai Miao's death came in, Zhengde didn't frown, and didn't even express surprise, Song Nan knew that Zhengde had gone astray.
In the evening, news came from the palace, the cabinet ministers submitted their resignations, and more than a dozen important ministers also submitted their resignations, and unexpectedly Zhengde actually approved the resignation, just like child's play, the three cabinet bosses were pushed to the end, Song Nan knew that this must be Liu Jin's idea.
Song Nan hurriedly entered the palace, to contain the situation before it further fermented, otherwise the court would be in chaos, and the complete collapse of civil officials would give Liu Jin a chance to expand his power.
Today, Liu Jin's actions have made Song Nan subvert the impression of him for more than a year, no matter what, he wants to leave a fire in the outer court, even if he will backfire against himself in the future, it is much better than Liu Jin to control the whole situation; There is a vague problem between himself and Liu Jin, and if Zhengde allows Liu Jin to control the situation, it will be also unfavorable to himself.
In the dormitory, Zhengde drank and celebrated the victory, and when Song Nan asked to see him, Zhengde happily pulled Song Nan to sit down and drink, and said with a smile: "Song Nan, you don't know what to do, when I approved their resignation, that scene was simply too funny." ”
Song Nan smiled and said, "What's a good way to play?" ”
Zhengde said: "Liu Jin said that he fainted several times on the spot, crying, like mourning." ”
Song Nan said: "Is this scene really funny? ”
Zhengde said: "Isn't it funny? They just wanted to scare me, but I didn't expect that I would plan and allow them, hahaha, this is clean. ”
Song Nan frowned and said, "Then what will happen to the government affairs of the imperial court in the future?" What should the emperor do? Without the outer court, how to govern the country? ”
Zhengdeqi said: "It's not simple? Just promote a batch. ”
Song Nan said: "The general is dead, can you lead the army to win the battle by promoting one of the small soldiers?" ”
Zhengde was stunned and said, "How can that happen?" How can a small soldier lead the army? ”
Song Nan said: "In the same way, it can be seen that there are no important ministers in the outer court, and the government affairs will be chaotic, and the emperor will think twice." ”
Zhengde calmed down and patronized happily, but he didn't expect that this stubble, the outer court was dealing with thousands of trivial affairs and state affairs, who would be responsible in the future?
"This ...... I've already gotten it, so I'm going to beg them to come back? Zhengde shook his head and said, "It will never work." ”
Song Nan said: "The minister will do it for the emperor." ”
Zhengde said: "They hate you to the bone, how can they agree if you go." ”
Song Nan said: "How can personal grievances override state affairs, and the minister is willing to go." ”
Zhengde thought for a while and said: "In this way, I can't cheapen them, you only go to see Li Dongyang, if he agrees to come back, I will see him in the palace, warm and soothing him, and the others will forget it; Didn't you say that they wanted to control me in the first place, and I was so easy to raise my eyebrows, how could I be coerced by them again. ”
Song Nan nodded and said: "It's okay, Li University is highly respected, if he can preside over the situation, it doesn't matter if he has a few mediocre talents under him." ”
Zhengde smiled: "Song Nan, don't be bitter, I'm still very happy today, accompany me to have a drink." ”
Song Nan waved his hand and said: "The wine is smoky, how to show sincerity, the minister is gone." ”
Zhengde was stunned, watched Song Nan come out of the hall, shook his head with a smile, Liu Jin walked out of the shadows, poured wine for Zhengde, and said: "Lord Song seems to be angry, Lord Song has been very angry recently." ”
Zhengde looked at Liu Jin coldly and said, "That's how you talk about your lifesaver behind your back?" If Song Nan hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid you would have fallen to the ground. ”
Liu Jin hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The emperor is angry, the slave and maid just said it casually." ”
Zhengde said: "You are not allowed to say such things in the future." ”
Liu Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead and got up and clapped his hands, the sound of silk and bamboo suddenly rose, and a bewitching dancer walked out from behind the tent and began to dance; Zhengde stared at the dancers in front of him with a wine glass, and Liu Jin leaned in and said softly: "Dai Miao's slander of the emperor ......"
Zhengde frowned and reprimanded: "I'm drinking, you came to ask about things, do you still have to deal with these things personally?" So what's the use of you minions? ”
Liu Jin confessed again and again and stepped aside, with a grim smile on his face.
