It is impossible for Zhu Si to release Yang Shen and other detained officials for a while.

The first batch of people was released, and the families behind thought that the emperor would release them one after another, but they waited for six or seven days, and there was no movement at all, and there were only two days left before the emperor's next execution.

The people in the capital were panicked, and only Zhang Yuan died for the first time when he hit thirty court rods.

It is said that it was because Zhang Yuan was one of the initiators of the Great Rites Discussion, and was beaten a few more times by Jinyiwei that night, and there are rumors that he didn't beat him much, but one of them hit the head directly, so that he died on the spot.

At the same time, Zhu Si's title to his parents began to be completed. Zhu Sixian posthumously sealed his father Zhu Youhang, with his god throne, placed in the east room of the Fengxian Palace, the upper honor was called "Huang Kao Gong Mu Xian Emperor", and his biological mother Empress Dowager Jiang was "Zhang Shengci Ren Empress Dowager", and for a time did not change the posthumous title of filial piety, that is, it was not changed to "Huang Bo Kao", which is equivalent to saying that the emperor had two "Huang Kao" at the same time.

Everyone in the court felt that the emperor was in chaos, but after the Zuo Shunmen incident, the emperor's thunderous methods had an extraordinary deterrent effect on civil officials, and the three cabinet scholars Fei Hong, Liu Chun and Huang Zan remained silent, although Qiao Yu had the intention to protest but had no means to deal with it, so that no one in the court expressed too fierce opposition to it.

The eighteenth day of the lunar month.

Zhu Hao personally went to the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, and there was still one day before the next cane execution.

Yang Shen was still under house arrest in the guest room, and Zhu Hao went to meet him first after he came.

"I haven't been out for many days, I wonder how the DPRK is doing now? It was you who I saw last time, and this time it's you."

Yang Shen was obviously much older, his face was scruffy, and although his body had not been tortured, the psychological blow was obvious.

He was also telling Zhu Hao that he didn't know anything about the outside world. Zhu Hao talked about the recent situation in the court, especially mentioning the emperor's posthumous title and edict to Zhu Youhang and his wife.

Yang Shen shook his head: "As an emperor, but he only thinks about personal honor and disgrace, and if he does such nonsense, I am afraid that the throne will not last for a long time."

openly attacked the emperor in front of Zhu Hao, and Zhu Hao couldn't help squinting when he heard it. I thought that Yang Shen had grown up, but it turned out that he still had that bear temper, but he was sharpened by the emperor's gentle methods before, and when he found that he was not beaten, after thinking for a few days, he returned to that posture of no one in his eyes.

Zhu Hao said, "Tomorrow, Your Majesty will carry out the second cane punishment. Thirty each."

"Really?"

Yang Shen held his head high and said, "Thirty canes, Yang can still afford it." Zhu Hao sighed: "You may be able to bear it, but some people can't stand it, and say that someone has died, do you think there will be someone who will die because of this time?"

Yang Shen was silent.

Zhu Hao took out something and handed it to Yang Shen, Yang Shen took it and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning.

"What is it worth to show me? Who's in and who's not, do you think I don't count?" What Yang Shen saw was the list of officials who were still imprisoned in the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.

Zhu Hao said: "Tomorrow may have to cross a few from above, and after a while, many people will be dismissed and questioned because of Zuo Shunmen's affairs, and some will even be assigned to the frontier, and your situation with Brother Xiu is not optimistic."

"What?" Yang Shen frowned.

Perhaps, in Yang Shen's view, if he offended the emperor, he would be punished with a cane when he turned around.

Death depends on luck.

As long as you don't die, if you return to the court and continue to be an official, you won't be affected too much, and even this group of people will be respected by the world because of Zuo Shunmen's affairs.

But now he knew that the emperor not only wanted to teach them a lesson on the spot, but also to come to a post-mortem reckoning, and the political careers of everyone on the list would basically be cut off.

Zhu Hao sighed: "I didn't go to today's court meeting, but I heard that His Majesty has been discussing with all the ministers and officials to increase the cabinet candidates, and he has been preliminarily selected as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and he will officially enter the cabinet in these two days."

Yang Shen's face was gloomy, his lips twitched, and he stopped talking, as if he wanted to ask, "What should I do?"

cinnabar

Hao pointed to the list in front of Yang Shen: "If Your Majesty wants to punish, including you, you will be demoted, and the position of Attendant Scholar you got will also be lost, as for whether it will be demoted, appointed or assigned, I don't know."

Yang Shen was still silent.

However, Zhu Hao had clearly felt that Yang Shen's face was full of loss, obviously after his father gave him a career, he finally climbed to a relatively high position, but he fell down again, unwilling.

If it has always been edited by Hanlin, it will also be distributed. But when you experience being a bachelor, fame, fortune and status can no longer be ignored.

"I've said everything I can say, I'm leaving." Zhu Hao got up and was about to leave. Yang Shen finally spoke and asked, "So, now you can't go up and advise Your Majesty, can you?"

Zhu Hao said: "Brother Xiu, don't be naïve, don't say it's me now, even if the whole world plays together, it won't be able to pull back Your Majesty's mind, what Your Majesty wants to do is not something that the courtiers can control." This is not the first time, nor is it the last. 「

Although Zhu Hao's evaluation of the emperor did not have a very obvious derogatory connotation, like Yang Shen, it seems that both of them are criticizing the emperor's arbitrariness.

"I hope this is the last time, take care of yourself, Brother Repair!" Zhu Hao means that he hopes that this is the last time that your group of people will be punished with canes, if the emperor continues to beat after this time, then it is estimated that there will be more deaths, ninety canes a month...... If you don't have the slightest physical strength, you will basically die.

Zhu Hao came out of Yang Shen's "cell" with good conditions, and within a few steps, Wang Zuo and Luo An appeared around Zhu Hao.

"Congratulations to Commander Wang!" Zhu Hao said to Wang Zuo.

There was another major event that day, that is, Zhu Si had officially appointed Wang Zuo as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, not with the titles of Commander Tongzhi and Jin Shi, but directly commanded the envoy and took charge of the Jinyi Guard's errands, and the commander of the East Factory was still Huang Jin, and because the emperor felt the crisis, Huang Jin at this time once again hung the title of eunuch on the basis of the title of the imperial eunuch.

Wang Zuo hurriedly replied: "Mr. Zhu is polite, and he must do his best to do things for His Majesty."

Compared with Wang Zuo's scenery, Luo An on the side did not see any loss. An honest person like Luo An has always been conscientious and conscientious and not good at interpersonal communication, and Wang Zuo's appointment as the commander of the Jinyi Guard has no big impact on him, after all, the Beizhen Fusi is still under his jurisdiction.

"Mr. Zhu, what do you have to explain about tomorrow's execution?" Luo An asked for instructions.

Zhu Hao heard what he meant, probably Luo An and Wang Zuo were waiting for him to say, something like that.

But Zhu Hao shook his head and said that there was nothing to say.

The emperor wants to beat people to get angry, even if he insists on going his own way, but that is also the emperor's order, Zhu Hao's blatant disobedience does not make much sense, Zhu Hao now understands that it is not meaningful to change the times by making changes in one or two things.

"Commander Wang, haven't you been to Xishan recently? Is the situation of the railway being built in Xishan alright?"

Zhu Hao walked to the edict with Wang Zuo and Luo An, and Zhu Hao asked casually.

"It's okay, everything is going well." Wang Zuo hurriedly replied.

Wang Zuo took over as the commander of Jinyiwei, and he needed to basically go around the projects under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei, and he didn't go to the imperial tomb, but Xishan is the money bag of the current Xingwangfu system, Wang Zuo has no reason not to go, just at this time to inspect and collect people's hearts...... Xishan's current manager is Jinyi Wei Qianhu Lu Song.

It seems that even Wang Zuo knows that in order to be a good commander, he must win over two people, one is Luo An, and the other is Lu Song.

Because both of them have won Zhu Hao's trust.

And he Wang Zuo did not have a very close relationship with Zhu Hao before, and this time he was promoted to command, mainly relying on his communication skills and his ability to make money.

Zhu Hao said: "It is winter now, and it is not suitable to build railways, and some projects will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year, but the manufacture of rails, sleepers and locomotives must not be slackened. Next year, there may be border troubles in the northwest, and if the railway is to be repaired from Juyongguan to Xuanfu, it is necessary to rush for time."

Wang Zuo asked puzzledly, "One year, I'm afraid it's difficult to complete, right?"

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Send a few more construction teams,

Repair from different directions, it is expected that the time is almost up, now there are enough explosives to open the mountain and split the rocks, the biggest problem is only to build a bridge, the king commander has ordered you to send more Jinyi guards to supervise in the future."

"Yes, yes." Wang Zuo was puzzled.

The matter of repairing the railway has always been presided over by Zhu Hao, and Jin Yiwei does not have much sense of participation, after all, the main force of road construction is ordinary people, and the people are basically not servants, but hired back with money. Could it be that Zhu Hao meant to let Jinyiwei have more money in the matter of repairing the railway in the future?

When I arrived at the prison, the torture equipment was ready.

In the coming day, the civil officials will be executed with canes again, and in addition, some people will be interrogated, which is said to be an interrogation, which is to take the opportunity to take revenge and see who is not pleasing to the eye...... On the basis of the thirty rods, add a little more meaning.

"Take me to Xia Yan." Zhu Hao said. "Yes."

Then Wang Zuo personally took Zhu Hao to the door of Xia Yan's cell. Xia Yan's cell here is a unique trumpet, and Zhang Yuan was still locked up inside, but unfortunately Zhang Yuan is dead, and no one will add in the follow-up.

"Zhu Shilang?"

Xia Yan was somewhat surprised when he saw Zhu Hao, and when he saw that Zhu Hao was still standing next to the new Jinyi Guard Commander Wang Zuo, Xia Yan was even more puzzled. Zhu Hao said: "Xia Yushi, I came to see you on behalf of the imperial court, I heard that you received the court staff, or in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs."

Xia Yan hurriedly said, "Zhu Shilang shouldn't have heard of it, but witnessed it with his own eyes, right?"

"I didn't see it at the time." Zhu Hao replied coldly.

Not to mention that you were punished with a cane, even if you were caught, I ordered you.

Who made you unlucky?

According to the development of history, you will soon go back to the funeral because of your mother's funeral, but as a result, history has changed and you have experienced the Zuoshunmen incident, so I won't take the opportunity to rectify you?
