Chapter 205: Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys
"Kill the civil official! The court has killed the official! Go and see! ”
Everywhere there was shouting, running.....
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
"Look, the front ones are the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, and the back are the officials of the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian, and I heard that there are also officials from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials and the Dali Temple."
The sound of heavy wheels was heard.
No matter how heavy the snow is, it can't stop curiosity, I heard that more than 100 civil officials were beheaded, and most of them were officials, those who had nothing to do, those with umbrellas, and those with snow hats, all of them were crowded at the entrance of the vegetable market at this time, and Shuntianfu and the Soldiers and Horses Division sent hundreds of officers and soldiers to maintain order.
In fact, there was no need for them to maintain order, because the two sides of the road from the intersection to the execution platform were already covered with snow-figurines.
The periphery of the cordon was already full of Shenjing people waiting to see the excitement.
On the execution table, a dozen officials dressed in red and with signs were tied and kneeling, and behind them stood the executioner with a ghost-headed knife.
At this time, King Beijing's water dissolution appeared.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Zongchang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Deng Tong, the secretary of the Dali Temple, and Yin Zhang Jiacheng of the Shuntian Mansion also appeared.
Shui Rong's eyes scanned the prison and asked, "No one has come from the cabinet and the military department?" ”
Yang Zongchang replied: "The old prince said that the king of the county is the chief official of the prison. ”
King Beijing's face suddenly became gloomy, and then he sneered: "I'm afraid it's just killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, right?" With that, he walked straight to the chair in the middle of the prison and sat down.
Yang Zongchang, Deng Tong and Zhang Jiacheng glanced at each other, followed and sat down in the prison shed.
As soon as everyone was seated, a cannon rang out under the execution table, and then the execution horn sounded whining.....
The executioner stepped forward and pulled out the emblem of the condemned prisoner.
In the prison shed, a guerrilla glanced at Shui Rong and stepped forward and shouted: "Cut!" ”
With an order, more than a dozen executioners waved the ghost-headed broadsword in their hands, and suddenly their heads fell to the ground, and blood splashed.
"Whew--"
The onlookers of Shenjing immediately let out an earth-shattering exclamation....
Immediately afterwards, another group of more than a dozen officials dressed in red and with signs were escorted to the execution platform, and with another order from the guerrillas, their heads rolled to the ground.....
The officials of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Shuntian Mansion standing on both sides are looking at me, and I am looking at you, and then they look at several prison officials in a stunned manner.
The strange thing is that the four prison officials, led by King Shui Rong of Beijing, all sat there quietly, and none of them spoke.
Deng Tong, the secretary of Dali Temple, who was sitting on the right hand of King Beijing, dropped his head to the right and looked at it.
Yin Zhang Jiacheng, who was sitting on his right, gently touched him with his elbow, and then glanced to his left with his eyes.
He followed his gesture and immediately noticed that the King of Beijing beside him was dissolved.
Shui Solu's face turned pale, and he sat upright with his eyes slightly closed, but his lips were gently twitching, and he was visibly trying to calm his inner agitation.
Yang Zongchang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, obviously also noticed Shui Rong sitting on the right, he smiled secretly, Shui Rong did not guess wrong, the military is killing chickens and monkeys, but it is not just Shui Rong..... It's not just one person who is dissolved, at this moment in the teahouse private room on both sides are also sitting Zhu Dakang, the king of Yizhong County, Zhu Xunkun, the king of Zhenghuainan of Dazong, and other clansmen, in Shenjing City, in addition to Emperor Tianyou, Emperor Yong'an and King Fu's ancestors, all the men of the clan were invited by the military.
At this time, the cry in front of the Caishikou execution ground shook the sky, and thousands of men, women, and children were driven here by the Royal Forest Army, they stumbled, their eyes were full of fear and despair, they were all family members of these officials.....
Shui opened his eyes suddenly, his face was so white that there was no blood at all, and he stared fixedly ahead.
Yang Zongchang, Deng Tong, and Zhang Jiacheng all looked up sharply and looked there.
..........
There was no fire in the cabinet room, the windows were still open, and the cold wind was blowing, and everyone tightened their clothes.
"Close the window." Liu Wenbin sat in front of the bookcase and greeted Xiao Huangmen.
"Yes." The little yellow door walked over and closed both windows.
Immediately, it was not so cold, and the little yellow door on duty held a bowl of hot tea to Liu Wenbin, and brought hot tea to Ding Yuanzhu, Han Jun and Wang Shaoguang.
"Let's get out." Liu Wenbin said to the little yellow door on duty: "Close the door." ”
"Yes." The little yellow door bowed and withdrew.
"These are more than a hundred civil officials, and most of them are officials from the Hanlin Academy, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Guozijian..."
Ding Yuanzhu: "Then what else can I do?" ”
Wang Shaoguang sighed, "Although the military's approach can deter some people with bad intentions, it is also easy for people to attack the imperial court and Your Majesty under the pretense of celestial phenomena. ”
"How's going on with the Zhongshun Palace?" Liu Wenbin asked Wang Shaoguang.
Wang Shaoguang bowed: "Second assistant, don't worry, the Criminal Department and Shuntianfu have greeted each other, and they will investigate the results as soon as possible." ”
Liu Wenbin took two sips of the tea bowl, and said in a hoarse voice: "First the noon gate, then the Qianqing Palace, and now even the Zhongshun Mansion has been engulfed in the fire, not the blessing of the country....."
Wang Shaoguang hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you invite the abbot of Qingxuguan and Daxiangguo Temple to do a ritual...."
"The son is silent, and the strange power is confused!"
Han Jun's brows furrowed, and he thought about it again, and then shook his head: "What's more, this will give people a handle......
Liu Wenbin nodded, and said again: "It's hard for everyone." After the New Year, His Majesty will formally appoint new cabinet members, and when they come, we will be able to relax. ”
Ding Yuanzhu: "Second assistant, what did Your Majesty say?" ”
Liu Wenbin smiled slightly, "You know, Your Majesty doesn't have any requirements in life. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has made a lot of money for a while, so Your Majesty has agreed to your request, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will allocate 500,000 taels to the Ministry of Household Affairs for emergencies. ”
Ding Yuanzhu's face relaxed, and he got up and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”
Liu Wenbin continued: "Your Majesty is a saint, as for the deficit of the treasury, the people are hungry and cold. This fault is the fault of the cabinet, and it is the fault of the officials of the six ministries and nine secretaries. In this year, the military quickly put down the rebellion in the Mobei grassland and the plague on the southeast coast.
Therefore, in the next month or so, we must deal with the snow disaster in Gyeonggi, and there must be no more tragic scenes in Huairou and Shunyi......"
Han Jun: "If you let those two toss like this, I'm afraid it's ....."
Liu Wenbin waved his hand, "This is another thing I want to say to you, don't meddle in the dispute between Your Majesty and the saint, just do your own errand." After a pause, he continued, "This is also what Your Majesty meant. ”
Ding Yuanzhu, Han Jun, and Wang Shaoguang glanced at each other, and it seemed that the emperor was confident.
Suddenly, the door snapped open!
Kong Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, broke in like a gust of wind and said loudly: "Second assistant, the military has changed their minds, and they have killed the families of more than 100 officials, including the families of Chen Qiang and others. ”
Liu Wenbin was stunned and asked urgently: "What did you say?!" ”
Kong Qian's eyes were wet, "Thousands! There were many women, children, and children, and they did not spare any of them, and they all killed them......" When he said this, he couldn't help but cry.
With a "snap", Liu Wenbin slapped his palm on the bookcase, shaking the tea bowl and inkstone pen holder on the case!
Ding Yuanzhu, Han Jun and Wang Shaoguang all changed their faces, and the three of them had the same thoughts at this time, for fear that Shenjing would change again, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to the second assistant Liu Wenbin.
Kong Qian suddenly stopped crying, looked at Liu Wenbin, and said in a deep voice: "They want to kill chickens and monkeys, in a vain attempt to control the power of the imperial court, with ill intentions!" ”
A cold wind swept into the room with a few snowflakes, Jia Zheng walked in, his eyes swept around the house, and said to Liu Wenbin: "Second assistant, the Royal Forest Army has lifted the blockade of the inner city, and the army is withdrawing to the camp outside the city, leaving only the two battalions of Xiaoyong and Liwei to continue to be stationed in the Chongwenmen camp. ”
Liu Wenbin was silent.
Kong Qian snorted for a moment and asked, "Kill so many people, and then leave like nothing.....
Jia Zheng didn't look at him, but still looked at Liu Wenbin: "The Hou of Henan handed over a military report, saying that the big and wealthy businessmen in Henan colluded with local officials to poison the people, forcibly buy and forcibly occupy the people's fields, and not only arrested all the bitter owners who complained to the state and locked them up, but also frantically intercepted and killed the bitter owners who went to the state capital to complain, and almost caused a riot. ”
Then he took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Wenbin: "This is the name of the officials in Henan Province who colluded with the rich businessmen copied from the military newspaper, and Your Majesty has already read it." ”
"Oh?"
Liu Wenbin took the list and looked at it, and handed the list to Han Jun, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”
Jia Zheng: "Investigate and punish as soon as possible, strictly and seriously, and give an explanation to the people of Henan." ”
...........
It was snowing heavily, and at this time, Jia Jue was standing outside the door, wearing a cloak, and behind him was amber, who was also wearing a cloak, holding an oilcloth snow umbrella, and both of them looked at the courtyard gate.
In the wind and snow, Daiyu's figure appeared, covered with a big red feather veil and a crane in a white fox, a snow hat on her head, a purple juan followed closely with a snow umbrella, and a personal soldier followed behind with a food box.
was blocked by the personal soldiers at the door, Daiyu's interest was defeated, but at this time, through the snowflakes, she saw Jia Jue standing under the eaves of the porch, and immediately had a smile on her face, stepped on the snow, and walked up the stairs quickly.
"Slippery snow, go slower!" Jia Jue hurriedly walked down the steps and greeted her, while paying attention to her, "Beware of falling." ”
"It's snowing so hard, if it's not for the master's business, it's time to appreciate the snow and poetry."
Jia Jue listened and said with a smile: "Next year." Your hands are cold, I'll give you a treat. As he spoke, he reached out and took Daiyu's hand and walked into the house.
There were two large pots of silver frost charcoal fire burning in the wing room early, and as soon as she stepped into the wing room from the extremely cold outside, the heat rushed in, Daiyu couldn't help coughing, Jia Jue hurriedly hugged her, "Open the window to breathe!" Saying that, she stroked her back, and she eased up.
Jia Jue helped her into the inner room, and an incense burner was specially added to the room, burning an open flame with sandalwood, and the room was full of incense, warm as spring.
Daiyu smiled first: "I'll sit and leave, why do you bother so much." ”
Jia Jue said angrily: "You are angry with me." As he spoke, he took off his cloak.
"What do you mean by that?"
"You don't understand what I mean?"
Dai Yule said: "I don't understand this anymore." ”
Amber listened and said with a smile: "Girl, the third master wants you to sit for a while." As he spoke, he put away the tea set on the small table, and Zijuan neatly brought out the food in the food box, "Girl, the meal is ready." ”
Jia Jue sat at the table and took the chopsticks handed by Daiyu.
At this time, Amber brought Daiyu a bowl of hot tea, Zijuan brought a plate of melon seeds from the food box, and Jia Jue began to eat.
Jia Jue stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth and nodded, "This is not made in the kitchen?" ”
Zijuan: "My wife made it in the small fire room." ”
"Yes, I'll wait for me to come back and give you and Mother Song a monthly increase."
Zijuan was stunned, "Didn't the third master just come back?" ”
Amber was also curious, and asked with a smile: "The third master is going out?" ”
"Who said I was going out?"
Jia Jue took two sips of soup before he continued: "You just remember that I want to give you and Mother Song a monthly increase." ”
"Oooh....."
Zijuan didn't understand it halfway, and looked at Daiyu.
Daiyu swallowed the melon seeds, only pursed her lips and smiled.
The three women watched Jia Jue sit there and eat, and they ate very fragrantly, Zijuan and Amber had eaten it, but they were also hungry when they saw it, and secretly swallowed their saliva.
Daiyu glanced at it and said with a smile: "Hey, I've been wondering, how can you eat so much?" Still eating so delicious? ”
"Wasn't it okay for me to be poor when I was a kid?"
"Nonsense again!" Daiyu rolled her eyes, "I've heard my aunt say that you used to have not only monthly money, but also various expenses for school, which add up to six or seven taels a month." By the way, you still cheated the monthly money of the spring. ”
"I mean, I was poor in my last life, and I was blessed all day long, and I didn't live as well as a dog."
Jia Jue also rolled his eyes, "Also, which eye of yours saw that I cheated Chunyue money, be careful that I sue you for slander!" As he spoke, he poured the remaining half bowl of soup into the rice bowl, and drank it. Glancing at her again, "Why don't you eat fat?" ”
"It's okay, do you want to be like Sister Bao?"
Daiyu shook her head, thought for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Is it Sister Bao's like that, which suits you very much?!" ”
"How can you smear people's innocence for no reason!"
Jia Jue is serious.
“.....”
Daiyu glanced at him, pursed her lips and didn't bother to speak.
"Uh....."
Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, this girl is now a sperm, took the towel handed by Amber and wiped her mouth, "How did I hear that you let Yun'er take over the antique shop of Zhou Rui's son-in-law's house, as well as those gold and silver utensils of unknown origin?" ”
Daiyu leaned back in her chair, "I flipped through the miscellaneous books, those gold and silver utensils are all Tatar ancestral sacrifices, not only the Chahar tribe, but also the ancestors of several other families, the first thing they will do when they return to the tribe next year is to worship their ancestors, if it is gone, forget it, once the wind is released, what do you say they will do?" If you don't accept such a good opportunity, will it be possible for the Wang family to get this cheap? ”
Jia Jue was shocked, it was really like this.
Now he can not only get wool from the grassland people, but also get more convenience, especially the Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of this, he said to Daiyu: "With my sister here, the Jia family can't prosper if they don't want to!" ”
Daiyu blushed and just wanted to speak.
Jia Jue continued: "If this matter is done, it will also be of great help to Lin Heng, and these are the three benefits." On weekdays, I heard the people below say that this is blessed, and that is a blessed life, in my opinion, my sister is really blessed! ”
Daiyu smiled: "What's wrong today?" Pick what is good. ”
Jia Jue: "What's wrong?" Am I not right? ”
Amber: "That's right! The third master is 100 years old, the girl is blessed with longevity, and we have to serve the third master and the girl for a few more years. As he spoke, everyone laughed.
"Third Master, Jia Fu, they're back." Jia Gui's voice came from outside the door.
"It's fast!" Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, glanced at the bell that rang from time to time, and was silent for a while: "You go and tell Mama Li, ask her to go to the old lady's house and say something, I will go to Miss Lin to say goodbye later." ”
"Yes."
Listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther outside, Jia Jue shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let's go, wipe your second uncle's buttocks." ”
Daiyu slapped him on the ground, "Phew! You are not allowed to say that about your second uncle. ”
After a pause, "No swearing!" ”
ps: It's okay to leave a reading word!!!!!!!!!!!
