Chapter 169: Monarch and Minister
"Smack..... Smack....."
A Shuntianfu jailer took a long black whip and whipped the young man on his back and leg.
Jia Lian stepped forward, pushed the jailer away, looked at the young man and asked, "How is it?" Something comes to mind? Tell me, who commanded you? ”
The young man slowly opened his eyes and slurred his words: "Lao Tzu won't tell you ....."
Jia Lian was furious, snatched the whip, and whipped again, "I don't know what to die, come on!" ”
Jailers: "Yes." ”
Jia Lian said angrily: "Get on the tiger bench!" Pepper water! Give him all the means and see if he says it! ”
Jailers: "Yes." ”
"Wait!"
A voice came, and Jia Lian didn't reply, "Presumptuous!" ”
When he turned around, he was blinded, "Mrs. Jiao....."
Jiao Da: "I've seen the second master." ”
Jia Lian: "Why are you here?" ”
Jiao Da took out Jia Jue's warrant, "I am following the military order of the Hou Ye." ”
Jia Lian took the warrant, looked at it, and said with a wry smile: "This bastard is hard-hearted, he has been fighting all night, and he didn't say anything." ”
Jiao Da smiled mysteriously, "Second master, don't worry, he will say it." ”
After saying that, he shouted outside, "Bring up the things!" ”
Jia Lian: "Oh...."
Jiao Da: "Tell the second master." ”
Soldiers: "Second Master, this is called 'Tie Jia Guan', which is a punishment invented by Emperor Taizu to punish corrupt officials, and was later abandoned by Emperor Renzong, but left in the army, mainly to obtain information from secret spies. The contribution in this Mobei campaign was quite significant. ”
Jia Lian was stunned.
Jiao Da waved his hand, "Tell the second master the origin of this name." ”
Pro-soldier: "The second master often watches plays, and he must have seen the mask on his face worn by the singing and dancing officials, and this sticking is to paste this paper on people's faces, and then spray it with a sip of tea, and the paper will be stuck on the face when it is wet, and the nose and mouth will not be able to get much gas."
This is mulberry paper, it is light and soft, absorbent, and has a strong pulling force, after being stained with water, it sticks to the prisoner's face, no matter how big his mouth opens, how much force he inhales, it will not be broken, it will stick tightly to the prisoner's face. If the prisoner does not confess again, he will add a piece of paper, and if he sprays it with a sip of tea, he will be even more unable to get angry, and if he does not confess, he will add another piece of paper, to four or five pieces of paper, and the person will basically run out of gas.
Finally, the pieces of paper were removed, and they were like the masks..... In the first battle of Mobei, a total of thirteen people were posted, except for Bozit, the leader of the 30,000 households on the left wing of Wara, no one had made it to the fourth piece of paper, but unfortunately, he couldn't bear it in the end, and he was recruited! ”
Jia Lian's throat moved, it was so cruel!
Jiao Da waved his hand, "Give him three directly, and kick his legs if he wants to move." ”
Then he said to the jailer on the side: "Go, get a pen and paper!" ”
..........
"What? The people behind the instigation to slander the Marquis of Zhongwu are Tatars! ”
Suncheon Mansion Yin Zhang Jiacheng's eyes widened.
Yang Zongchang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was also shocked when he heard this.
Jia Lian raised the confession in Yang's hand and swore an oath, "The torturers are all torture masters in the army, and they will not make mistakes!" ”
Zhang Jiacheng's eyes flashed, "Yang Shangshu forwarded the confession to His Majesty, and Shuntian Mansion was responsible for surrounding the protocol courtyard. ”
"The Reborn Financial Giant"
Yang Zongchang was anxious and blurted out: "Your Majesty has recognized the relationship between the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Jiao Da spoke, "Master Hou said, three days, if the Criminal Department can't give the Jia family an explanation after three days....."
Yang Zongchang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Jiacheng for a while.
Jiao Da: "The confession has been obtained, and the general will leave first!" ”
With that, he turned around and strode out.
Yang Zongchang's face gradually condensed, and he said to Jia Lian: "It's too arrogant!" ”
Jia Lian turned around and sat down, and said with a smile: "When did the military not act like this?" That's already a polite one. ”
Zhang Jiacheng: "There is not much time left for us, the vanguard of the Royal Forest Army has already entered the customs, and it will definitely enter Beijing before the end of the month." ”
Yang Zongchang sighed, then gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "Damn Tartar, Your Majesty is still too merciful!" ”
Zhang Jiacheng continued: "The matter of the Marquis of Zhongwu's proposal to relocate the Han people to the desert steppe has been supported by the sage, and the military department and the household department have affirmed this matter, and the cabinet is seriously considering it. ”
Yang Zongchang seemed to understand, stood up suddenly, strode to the door, and shouted loudly: "Go and transfer the guards of the Criminal Department!" ”
...........
Today's weather is good, the winter sun is warm, and the scenery in the imperial garden is beautiful.
Emperor Tianyou walked on the stone path in civilian clothes with his hands behind his back, and Jia Jue cautiously followed behind him.
Emperor Tianyou seemed to be in a good mood, "The unrealized strategy of the three dynasties of Taizong, Xuanzong, and Holy Ancestor has actually been successful in this dynasty, and I am at ease even if I go to see the ancestors and ancestors immediately!" ”
As he walked, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Qin's matter, don't you blame me!" ”
Jia Jue was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the saint, this is a royal family matter, and the ministers dare not beak." ”
Emperor Tianyou smiled, "That's a complaint." ”
Jia Jue: "The minister doesn't dare!" ”
"Don't dare?"
Emperor Tianyou paced away again, and said as he walked: "I am also forced to be helpless, otherwise I would not want to involve her, but with this identity, Ning Guofu can inherit two more generations." By the way, why is Jia Rong still a general, this is a loss of royal face, well, let's be promoted to a guerrilla general. ”
Jia Jue bowed and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
Emperor Tianyou groaned slightly, "How did Bayan Khan die?" ”
Jia Jue remained silent, "I don't know." ”
Emperor Tianyou was stunned, and while pacing slowly, he said: "It doesn't matter how he died, it's just that his son is not good for treatment!" The emperor is like this again..... Hey, tell me, who does he use? ”
Jia Jue: "It's okay. ”
Emperor Tianyou smiled, "I don't believe that there are no hands and feet of theirs here, why are you so timid when you go out?" ”
Jia Jue knew that he could no longer be silent, and said thoughtfully: "The minister thinks that since the imperial court wants to solve the threat from outside the border forever, then Babur cannot be put back, at least not until the plan to build the city and relocate the Han people is completed." In addition, it is necessary to implement a plan to reduce the number of people in the grassland, and every year adult men from all tribes outside the customs are transferred to serve in the customs to serve in the customs area. ”
Emperor Tianyou nodded, "That's what Duke Qi meant. ”
Jia Jue paused, and then said: "In addition, the imperial court should also allow merchants to go to the depths of the grassland to trade, and bring their daily necessities, especially the luxury things of Jiangnan, and when they get used to these, the imperial court can manage them." ”
Emperor Tianyou smiled, "You still haven't answered my words. ”
Jia Jue's face froze, and he said solemnly: "Someone is forming a party!" ”
Emperor Tianyou was stunned, "Oh? Why? ”
Jia Jue: "In the investigation, the Beizhen Fusi found that this matter not only involved the Tatars, but also had an inextricable relationship with Wu Shichang's officials, and some people were trying to reunite them, intending to control the power of the imperial court again. ”
Speaking of this, he paused and whispered: "This matter, Dongchang must have also found out." ”
Emperor Tianyou was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously glanced at Dai Quan by the Moon Gate, "This Huang Jin can't stay.... It's a scourge! ”
Jia Jue rubbed his hands, "This...."
"Alright, look at your worthless appearance!"
Emperor Tianyou shook his hand and asked again, "What did Feng Tang tell you?" ”
Jia Jue hurriedly replied: "Back to the sage, the Hou of Henan said something about the Central Plains, and the most mentioned thing was the land annexation, and the people were reduced to rich merchants and tenant farmers, and they were exploited. In addition, General Feng drank too much wine and said some drunken words. As he spoke, he secretly slanted at Emperor Tianyou, observing his reflection.
Emperor Tianyou was stunned, "What do you think?" ”
Jia Jue: "What you say after drinking should not be true." ”
Emperor Tianyou couldn't answer right for a while.
Taking advantage of Emperor Tianyou's distraction, Jia Jue rubbed his left shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
"When I charged, I was shot in the shoulder by the Warats, so I didn't get in the way."
"You, you, what should I say about you, you are the commander of the first army, why do you still act like this?"
Jia Jue sighed, "There are many people in Warat, and it is difficult to arouse the morale of the army if the ministers do not charge in person." ”
Emperor Tianyou was silent for a long time, and then said: "You have never doubted, why did I demote Feng Tang from Shenjing? ”
Without waiting for Jia Jue to answer, he said with a dark expression: "I'm sorry for him..... I was also deceived by Huang Jin's minion, so I ..... I tell you the truth, the matter of the Jia family's pawnshop that day was done by Huang Jin, although it was under my command, but I was also deceived by Huang Jin. You.... You can't blame me, right? ”
Jia Jue was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "The minister doesn't dare, Your Majesty was deceived by Huang Jin that day....."
A smile appeared on Emperor Tianyou's face, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm no longer the emperor, if it gets out, those loyal civil officials will definitely impeach you." Let's talk...."
........
At the gate of the Imperial Garden, Zhu Wucheng kicked away Wang An, the deputy head of the Qianqing Palace, who was kneeling in front of him, and scolded loudly: "Damn slave, open your mouth sage, shut up sage, do you still have the ancestral family law in your eyes?" I am the Emperor! Blind minions, don't go and report it soon! ”
Wang An kowtowed and said, "The slave should die, the slave will go ....."
