The brocade guards on both sides of the sedan curtain were opened at the same time, revealing the true face of the sedan chair.

Lu Song stood in front of the sedan chair and conveyed the holy will to the officials and people who knelt down: "Controlling salt is like governing the army, and the order of the monarch outside will not be affected." Today, the left deputy capital of the Imperial Court Wang Yue sword is still square, and the prince can be beheaded and Li Shu can be beheaded. Anyone who hinders the salt matter, act cheaply, cut first and then play, admire! ”

Yes?

Huguang pressed the envoy Yang Jizong always thought that Wang Yue was going to invite the king's order banner, but when he heard that it was the rumored Shang Fang sword slashing horses, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Just take a closer look, where is the royal flag in the sedan chair, but a delicately crafted sword.

The sword is about three feet long, the sword body pattern is finely chiseled, the pattern is clear, the sword body is engraved with the soaring dragon on one side, the phoenix with wings spread on the other, and the sword body is also decorated with the Big Dipper, which is a kind of exquisite sword.

Shang Fang Sword?

The tens of thousands of people kneeling around heard that it was Shang Fang's sword that Bao Zheng in the play, as if they had met a big star, and they all looked up at the sedan chair.

Shang Fang, this is the place where the royal family specially supervises the imperial sword and other utensils.

The earliest record of Shangshu Baojian is "The Book of the Former Han Dynasty - The Biography of Zhu Yun", Zhu Yun wrote: "Today, the ministers of the court cannot be the lord of Kuang, and the lower death is to benefit the people, and they are all corpses and vegetarian meals." The minister is willing to give Shang Fang a sword to cut off the horse, and cut off one of the ministers to force the rest. "It's just that Emperor Han Cheng learned that he was going to behead Zhang Yu, the Marquis of Anchang, so he almost beheaded Zhu Yun, and this Shang Fang sword was not awarded.

In the Song Dynasty, when the general led the army to the battle, in order to emphasize his authority and the trust of the royal family, the emperor would reward him with the sword of Shang Fang, giving them the right to "come in person", but the authority of the sword was clearly defined, such as the general Cao Bin Shang Fang sword under the command of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty specially ordered: "below the deputy general, those who do not obey the order can be beheaded."

The sword of Shang Fang in the Ming Dynasty is still in the military field, and now Zhu Youzhi gave the sword of Shangshu to Prime Minister Yan Zheng of Wang Yue, which is undoubtedly a new function for the sword of Shangshu, which is of epoch-making significance.

Lu Song came to Wang Yue with the secret decree in hand, and asked solemnly: "Lord Wang, have you thought about it?" ”

The Wang Ming Banner is a Ming chess, and the Shang Fang Sword is a dark move by Zhu Youji.

It's just that this step of dark chess is conditional, if Wang Yue wants to use this big killing weapon, then on the surface, he will be the enemy of the entire civilian official group, and he will have to shoulder Zhu Youji's trust.

You can't take such a big killing weapon and kill people quickly, but nothing has been done, where do you put the dignified son of tomorrow Hongji?

As Zhu Youzhi said, "If you want to take the Shang Fang, you must first bear its weight." As soon as the sword came out, the blood flowed into the salt river. There are no more than 100 insects, and the words are still in the court", this is Wang Yue's responsibility for choosing Shang Fang's sword.

"If the minister wants to Shang Fang's sword, he wants to share the sky with the salt worm!" Wang Yue knew that Lu Song was actually asking on behalf of His Majesty, so he resolutely responded.

As early as the time of the border pass, he had put his life and death aside several times. Now that he is going to take over this military order, then he also has the consciousness of death, and he also knows that only killing can solve the current salt evil.

Hu Song saw that Wang Yue had already come to his senses, so he no longer stopped Wang Yue from taking the sword.

Wang Yue held the sword of Shang Fang and questioned Li Guangming on the stage: "Your Majesty has given Shang Fang the sword, behead the prince and behead Li Shu down!" Li Guangming, you sell illicit salt, collude with Xiaozhi County to monopolize the salt matter, and harm the people of Jingshan. ”

The people in the audience thought of Li Guangming's arrogance earlier, and then they all looked at Li Guangming on the execution platform.

"No, Lord Qincha, please spare your life, please spare your life, your lower officials are willing to give ten thousand gold, please spare your life!" Li Guangming suddenly panicked, even begging for mercy.

Huguang pressed Yang Jizong to look at Li Guangming so anxious that tears flowed out, and the crotch of his pants was obviously wet, knowing that this was a ghost who was afraid of death after all.

It's just that why bother in the first place when you know today? If you were more respectful to the degraded Wang and keep the matter of running the salt store more secret, you probably wouldn't end up like this.

Of course, His Majesty broke the convention and gave Wang Yue the sword of Shang Fang, which no one expected, but this is a little inconsistent with the rumored image of the prince of the wardrobe.

Wang Yue has never been a greedy person for money, what he pursues in his life is the word justice, thinking of Hu Daniu's death, thinking that Li Guangming must have committed a lot of evil deeds during his tenure, when he even ordered sharply: "Kill!" ”

Burst!

Burst!

The two executioners' broadswords swung down fiercely, and two streaks of blood immediately splattered, and the heads of Li Guangming and Xiao Zhixian fell on the torture table, and they both died resolutely.

"Dead!"

"The dog officer is really dead!"

"Haha...... Good and evil will be rewarded in the end! Dad, did you see that? ”

……

The tens of thousands of people in the audience were still a little unbelievable at first when they saw Li Guangming and Xiao Zhixian Fufa, and saw these two evil pests being beheaded, but they soon cheered.

It is an eternal truth that the people do not fight with the officials.

With the prosperity of Li Guangming's official fortune, the children of the Li family began to fish in the township, especially this Xiaozhi County is the echo of the Li family, causing the people of Jingshan to be bullied.

Now that you see the two major pests in both ways, how can you not make them happy?

The sky in Jingshan is still gloomy.

The Hu family originally wanted to bury Hu Daniu's body nearby, but after receiving Wang Yue's support, they still chose to transport the body back for burial in a carriage.

Yang Jizong was responsible for raiding Li Guangming and Xiao Zhixian, Xiao Zhixian copied 50,000 taels of silver and some jewelry calligraphy and paintings, while Li Guangming's several houses copied 150,000 taels of silver and a box of jewelry calligraphy and paintings.

Wang Yue did not stay in Jingshan County for a long time, and after playing the crimes of Li Guangming and Xiao Zhixian, he led the Qincha Guards to leave here and go to Anlu Prefecture, where the price of salt was 400 yuan per catty.

Only three days later, Anluzhou set up a torture table.

The governor of Anzhou and the profiteer Qian shopkeeper were pushed to the top, and with the flash of two knife lights, two more blood splashed up, and the two major pests died again.

After seeing Wang Yue's behavior, the people praised one after another, and many good people gave Wang Yue the reputation of "Wang Qingtian", and some people called it "Shang Fang Qingtian".

Although Wang Yue's actions were praised by the people, he was naturally not treated well by the civilian clique.

When they learned that Wang Yue was going to Changsha Mansion, the officials of the entire Huguang system panicked, and under the leadership of Jiang Hong, the envoy of Huguang, they went up to impeach Wang Yue.

The Forbidden City, the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, sandalwood rises.

Zhu Youji, who was wearing regular clothes, sat at the table, and saw that there were more and more notes handed over from Huguang to impeach Wang Yue, and he obviously felt that some officials were really panicking.

"Today, the emperor's grace suddenly arrived, and the old man with the knife is young?"

Zhu Youzhu saw that some officials bombarded Wang Yue's poems again, and he didn't think there was a problem at first, but he couldn't stand the repeated emphasis of so many officials below, so that he felt that Wang Yue seemed to have objections.

"Your Majesty, this is a vote sent by the cabinet just now!" Guo Yong came in with a large stack of music, and gently put it on the desk next to him.

Liang Fang has retired from the Qianqing Palace, and now the new eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace is Guo Yong.

Guo Yong entered the palace at the age of four and has now lived in the Forbidden City for more than 30 years. An ordinary eunuch in the Qianqing Palace during the original Xianzong period, he was later promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and now he is back in charge of the Qianqing Palace.

Unlike other resourceful eunuchs, Guo Yong was cautious in his work, almost never making mistakes, and always knew where he was and what he was going to do.

Zhu Youzhu was very satisfied with the new head of the Qianqing Palace, and suddenly asked suspiciously: "Huguang is the envoy Jiang Hong?" Why does this name sound so familiar? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is Xu Pu's senior disciple, the imperial history who invited Huai En to return to the dynasty earlier!" Guo Yong recalled for a while, and even reported.

Zhu Youzhu suddenly realized, and then said with a bit of banter: "He is doing something for Xu Pu, so he was promoted to Huguang as an envoy?" ”

"Xu Pu presided over two sessions of the examination, and served as the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials for many years, and there are actually not many local officials!" Guo Yong is very familiar with the situation in the imperial court, and he explained the situation.

The implication is that Xu Pu is actually not bad at all for such a protégé who holds an important local position.

Zhu Youzhu knew that it was easy to master the court under his nose, but the place was still beyond the reach of the whip, and he couldn't help but say bitterly: "I'm afraid that the local officials only know him Xu Pu and don't know the Son of Heaven!" ”

Guo Yong was not easy to answer, in fact, Emperor Chenghua also had similar troubles, so he sent a large number of eunuchs to the general town. It's just that this move will undoubtedly increase the contradiction between His Majesty and the civil official group, and it is not good for him, the eunuch, to propose this measure.

Zhu Youzhi saw the note just sent, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "Now that the ministers have been the first to be greedy since the Ming Dynasty, Wenchen is now using the topic to make me no longer reuse you and other ministers, I might as well not copy it!" ”
