It is not pleasant to be beaten on the board, the Ming Dynasty is not civilized at all, no matter what, the beaten people are all senior officials of the state, but the court does not give this face, before hitting the board, first press the beaten person to the ground and take off his pants, and then the two brocade guards pick up the special big board You and I round it and start drying, you and I will count while beating, there are eunuchs and prisoners, it is not good to be less, a hundred big boards, not dead and crippled.

The point is that an official of the imperial court was stripped naked, which was extremely insulting, which probably could also improve the deterrent effect.

But this board is also a technical job, if the executioner thinks that you are a good official, or you hint at giving Jinyiwei benefits in the future, Jinyiwei will play some skills, the big board wheel is very round, but it does not feel very painful to hit the buttocks of the tortured, because the head of the board hits the ground first, if the executioner thinks that you are a bad person, look at the big board wheel is not very high, and it does not make much effort, but it can open the skin of your beating, because it can make dark energy. Also, if the eunuch instructs, it may not take dozens of boards to beat people to death, and the people have not mastered it well, knocking it somewhere else, and there is an accident, what should I do? A person who was annoyed by the emperor and beaten on the board died and died, who made you not resist.

The court has changed very much in the past two days, and no one in Jinyiwei's lieutenant dares to play tricks, so Shi Heng understands it again, and then hints to Jinyiwei that he will repay him in the future, that is, no one wants to earn this money, and when a hundred big boards come down, Shi Heng can only die.

The eunuch Liang Chengcheng, who was in charge of the sentence, entered the palace to report, "Your Majesty, Heng couldn't help beating at that time, and he was already dead." ”

Zhu Youzhen still doesn't understand his hatred, mother, Shi Heng, if it weren't for Zhu Cixuan, I wouldn't have a few days to live, I want to move south, but you let my king die, I want the prince to go to Nanjing to supervise the country, but you take out the story of Tang Suzong's Lingwu to talk about things, do you want my family to die? "Pull out and still feed the dogs on the street!"

Everyone trembled with fear when they heard this, at this time there was a shortage of food, and many wild dogs on the street had green hungry eyes, needless to say, Shi Heng's final outcome must be that there are no bones left.

"The Beijing camp was made like this by Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen, right under the nose of the imperial court, how did the Ministry of War supervise it? Nian Feng Yuanbiao is quite dedicated to his work, and he has already done his job, so he will not pursue it, remove Zhang Jinyan from the post of secretary of the military department, go home to be investigated, and make Wang Jiayan the secretary of the military department, Wu Xiang Lao'er is deaf, and I ordered his Xiangli Jingying, how long has it been, and I haven't found that the Beijing camp has become like this, haven't you found it? Or did you find out and don't say it? For Wu Sangui's sake, he will not be held accountable for the time being, go home and retire! ”

Zhang Ping listened to what Zhu Youzhen said and expressed his convincing, is the emperor's head still very good? Just removed Zhang Jinyan and sent Wu Xiang home, or not pursue it for the time being, that is to say, it will be investigated in the future, it is too smart! Needless to say, Zhang Jinyan must have no good fruit to eat, this imperial historian all has the excellent style of beating the water dog, the old puppet Wu Xiang, let you live a few more days, you can take advantage of your son's soldiers, I tell you, don't abuse Chen Yuanyuan when you go home, I have a fancy for that woman, if you dare to let Chen Yuanyuan go to Shanhaiguan to see Wu Sangui, that is to give the master green know no, the master first wants to kill you.

Sure enough, someone began to list Zhang Jinyan's problems, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, everyone thought that troops from all over the country should be transferred to King Qin, but Zhang Jinyan thought it was not necessary, fortunately, the Liukou did not hit the capital, if they came, wouldn't the capital be dangerous." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, this Zhang Jinyan must have gotten Wei Zaode's hint to do this, in fact, Zhang Jinyan should be regarded as Wei Zaode's accomplice! ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, so that no one continued to attack Zhang Jinyan.

Zhu Youzhen sneered inwardly, what the hell, what did you do earlier? I disposed of Zhang Jinyan, you guys are able to stand it, aren't you?

"Ma Dai and Liu Wenbing followed me into the palace and dispersed!" , Zhu Youzhen gave the order.

Some people feel lucky that the cases of Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen have not yet been tried, and they have earned it today and lived one more day.

In the Qianqing Palace, Ma Dai knelt on the ground to thank him, Zhu Youzhen ordered Ma Dai to get up, and then, Zhu Youzhen told Liu Wenbing to select two thousand strong people from the Beijing camp and hand them to Ma Dai, and then handed Ma Dai a letter, "I saw the second assistant Shi Kefa and handed it to him, and then assisted Shi Kefa to return to Beijing together." ”

"The last will obey!" , Ma Dai has to make a big salute again.

"Okay, it's better to do a good job than this kowtow."

Then, Zhu Youzhen asked about Baoding, Ma Dai said in detail one by one, Zhang Ping just listened to it, almost as much as he knew.

In the end, Zhu Youzhen explained: "Wen Bing, entertain General Ma for me." ”

Ma Dai followed Liu Wenbing out of the Qianqing Gate, but he was extremely puzzled in his heart, "Master Hou, I was just promoted to the chief military officer at the end of last year, why did the emperor promote him again?" When I went down to Baoding, my ass just sat firmly, and I didn't make meritorious service to the court, the emperor suddenly sealed such a big official under him, and it was suddenly like a dream in the next, what happened? Master Hou, you are in the court, tell Ma Dai, it was that master who helped say good things and recommended him? ”

Liu Wenbing looked at Ma Dai, "Governor Ma, isn't it a good thing to be promoted?" Do you want to repay the favor? ”

Ma Dai looked serious, "Master Hou, although Ma Dai is a vulgar man, he also knows how to repay his kindness." ”

Liu Wenbing smiled, "Governor Ma, I don't think you can repay this kindness, and you don't need to repay it, doing a good job for the emperor is to repay the kindness." ”

Ma Dai was puzzled, "Why did Master Hou say that?" Could it be that the emperor is in the middle of it? ”

Liu Wenbing continued to laugh, "If you don't guess wrong, you should be recommended by Lord Zuo Dudu of the Chinese Army." ”

"Lord Governor of the Left Capital of the Chinese Army? That Governor of the Left Governor of the Chinese Army? ”

In this Ming Dynasty, the rewards were more chaotic, the governors were flying all over the sky, Zhou Kui's sons Zhou Jian and Zhou Xuan were all governors of the left, and even his nephews had a governor of the same knowledge, so in the Five Military Mansions, it was normal for there to be a number of governors of the left and right governors in a mansion, Liu Wenbing only said that it was possible to be the governor of the left, and of course Ma Dai wanted to ask if it was the governor of the left.

"The queen mother's righteous son, the emperor's nephew, do you still need to repay it? So you will repay the emperor for doing a good errand, and you will not hide it from the Governor of Ma, and the Governor of Jingying is also recommended by the Governor of Zuodu. ”

"Ahh The adopted son of the Queen Mother? ”

"That's right! The queen mother's righteous son is also the emperor's most trusted person, the cabinet minister Li Jiantai and the first assistant Wei Zaode were all taken out by him, and even the crimes committed by Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and Li Guozhen, the Bo of Xiangcheng, who were arrested and put in prison, were also discovered by him with the help of the emperor, and also, General Zhou Yuji was also saved by him. ”

Ma Dai was stunned, "How powerful?" Did you go to court today? Which one? ”

Liu Wenbing smiled, "I said Ma Dai, didn't you see it in the Qianqing Palace just now?" ”

"You mean the young man standing next to the emperor? Master Hou, you see that my dog's eyes are all on the buttocks, I thought he was the prince? I almost became the prince. ”

Hearing Ma Dai say that his dog eyes were on his buttocks, Liu Wenbing smiled, "Governor Ma, this time you go to clear the Caoyun, the stakes are very high, if the two thousand soldiers are not enough, I will give you more soldiers, no matter what, if you want to do this well, it is related to the food problem of hundreds of thousands of people in the capital." ”

"This Ma Dai knows, don't worry, two thousand people are enough, there are two thousand people, even if you encounter five thousand eight thousand rogues, you will still kill him without leaving a piece of armor."

"Hahahaha! No wonder the emperor said that you are a Zhou Yuji of my dynasty again? Soldiers and generals are whatever you choose, everything is up to you. ”

……

In the torture room of Fusi Prison in Weibei Town, Jinyi, Li Banghua, Meng Zhaoxiang, and Ling Yiqu, who were sitting behind the interrogation table, stared at Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen, who were heavily handcuffed.

It can be seen that Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen are both mentally exhausted, and they must have not slept all night, which is also caused by the excessive mental tension of being frightened.

The officials guarding the two men and the brocade guards stood nearby, and someone began to prepare pen, ink and paper for recording.

"Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen, do you know why this pavilion didn't interrogate you overnight? It is to give you a chance to reflect, do you know why the emperor suddenly wants to review the troops? To tell you the truth, the emperor has long mastered what you are doing, but it is just to let the officials see your true face, and truthfully explaining is your only way out, and it is useless to resist stubbornly. ”

Zhu Chunchen raised his head and looked at Li Banghua, and scolded secretly: Your mother! Li Banghua, damn old thing, who the hell are you fooling? Yesterday, when Lao Tzu and Li Guozhen's grandson accompanied Zhu Youzhen to inspect the stupid emperor, Zhu Youzhen also praised it vigorously, I don't know why the wild seed recognized by the Queen Mother found that it was greasy.

But he didn't dare to say that, if he did, the nature would change, and it was clear that you admitted it yourself, and the best way to enter this place was to shirk responsibility, "Lord Li!" Jingying has been eroding for a long time, and it is not a matter of one or two days, this Jingying has always been the Xiangcheng Boguan belt, what does it have to do with me? ”

Li Banghua slapped the table, "Zhu Chunchen! Hugh wants to deny it, since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has specially reused you, appointed you to manage the world and the government, and the three armies of Gyeonggi are under your nose, so rotten, you dare to say that you are not responsible? Don't think you don't know what you've done? If you didn't do anything sorry for the country and the emperor, why did you partner with Li Guozhen to deceive the emperor? Don't think that if you are a nobleman, there is no way to cure you? See the torture instruments on the wall? Don't take the old man's words as two violent winds, tell you the truth, admit only to alleviate your sins, whether you admit it or not, you are also condemned, someone has already begun to expose you, and in the end, whether you will fall into a whole corpse, or be cut by a thousand knives, are all under your thoughts, whether your family members are in the oil pot, or labor is also under your thoughts. ”

Of course, Zhu Chunchen knew that he had been finished since he was arrested yesterday, not to mention anything else, it was a capital crime to deceive the emperor with Li Guozhen yesterday, but when he heard what Li Banghua said about what punishment he would suffer in the future, whether he himself would keep the whole body or be killed, whether his family would be killed or keep a small life, it depends on his attitude of admitting his guilt, so he doesn't want to deny it, in this Jinyiwei prison, all resistance is useless, Jinyiwei has multiple ways to make you open your mouth, and even let you talk nonsense, "Zhu Chunchen is sorry for the emperor's trust, The crime deserves death, Zhu Chunchen is willing to bear the responsibility of negligence, and there was no way to deceive the emperor with Li Guozhen yesterday, as for the management of the Beijing camp like this, it is completely Li Guozhen and the generals who have neglected their duties, and it really has nothing to do with Chunchen. ”

Zhu Chunchen felt that he did not personally manage the troops, he should not be responsible, and Li Guozhen and the generals should bear the main responsibility to be responsible, no matter what, he must not be scraped, whether it is beheaded, or hanged with a three-foot white silk, in general, he died happily, and the scraping punishment will be 3,680 knives by Ling Chi, and you will die after three days, who can stand it.

"Oh? Is it Li Guozhen's responsibility to say this? ”

Li Banghua has never done anything in his life, he has been a county magistrate, he has been a royal historian, he has served as a soldier in Beidao, he has been in charge of Guanglu Temple, he has served as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, he has been a waiter in the Ministry of War, he has supervised local prisons, he has managed the Jiangnan garrison, and finally he also served as the imperial history of the Zuodu of the Inspectorate.

Sure enough, hearing that Zhu Chunchen pushed the main responsibility on himself, Li Guozhen quit, "Boss, Zhu Chunchen is purely shirking responsibility, he has always known the situation of the three armies, and he sometimes has less time to take advantage of the air, but he gives him three thousand taels of silver every month, how can he push it all away?" ”

Li Guozhen is not a fool, last night, he thought about everything, this time he must not be able to run away, if everyone is finished, everyone will be finished together, and there is no one left who should be explained, maybe the emperor sees that he is honest, and the punishment can be lighter, the Beijing camp is managed like this, I am responsible, is it not that other people are not responsible, if everyone else stuffs people into the Beijing camp, and some people also hire people from the street to risk the army's salary, the Beijing camp will not be like this, usually I take care of everyone, at this time everyone should also take care of me, and they will be investigated and punished, There are so many people, countless people are implicated, in addition to the nobles, there are also officers at all levels, I think the emperor will deal with it? You can't kill everyone, if someone is exempted, then my punishment can be lighter, don't be scraped, that's a knife by a knife to be cut to death?

"Li Guozhen, you are talking nonsense!" , Zhu Chunchen hates Li Guozhen to death, you are such a stupid big man, you don't want to think about it, you are the supervisor, can you still go out? Isn't it okay to take on the responsibility, and isn't it interesting to pull others on their backs? Wouldn't it be better for you to take care of your daughter-in-law and your son when I go out in the future? Of course, your wife is old, and I won't move her.

"I'm not talking nonsense, Lord Li, every time the money comes down, how much is sent, how much everyone shares, and who takes how much, I keep an account."

As soon as Zhu Chunchen finished listening, I said Li Guozhen, you are a super fool, don't you know? There's still a bookkeeper for this thing, huh? What do you remember that thing for? Did you know that there is today? If you were half as shrewd as your father, the two of us wouldn't be where we are today, I'm so stupid, why didn't I see you stupid?
