Most of them were disheveled, and some were even wrapped in sheets. Among these people, some begged bitterly, some scolded, and some threatened the brocade guards, but these brocade guards were not moved at all, and drove them very resolutely to the center of the hall.

At this moment, a person in the crowd who was only wrapped in a sheet, but could still see a huge general's belly, actually grabbed a flower pot and smashed it at the brocade guard next to him when he was scolding and passing by a row of flower stands!

This brocade guard patronized the little lady in front of her, who was also wrapped in a sheet, and was carelessly smashed on her head by a flower pot! I only heard a "pop", the flower pot shattered, and blood flowed out!

Jin Yiwei saw blood on his forehead, so he screamed angrily, and he raised his scabbard and was about to smash it on him! At this moment, Liu Haojia said loudly: "Slow, don't hit him, drag him over!" ”

After getting the order, Jin Yiwei hatefully took the knife and pushed this person and the girl beside him in front of Liu Haojia. This man was arrogant, holding the sheets in his hand and shouting loudly, saying, "You Jinyiwei are really alive!" Dare to do the good deeds of the official, tomorrow the official will definitely stop your errand! ”

At this time, Han Liuniang was already convinced, but he recognized this person as Lang Zhong of the fifth grade of the Ministry of Officials! His official is indeed not big in the capital, but he is in a critical position, and many people are talking to him, so his contacts are very broad!

And the most important thing is that this person's family is also quite extraordinary! This person's family is a native of Jingshi, which is not unusual! What is strange is that four generations of his family have had high school jinshi for generations! Especially his father is the identity of the editor of the Hanlin Academy, which is very noble! So Han Liuniang wanted to see how Liu Haojia dealt with this person? If he backs down, then tonight's things will be easy!

At this time, I heard Liu Haojia say: "Your Excellency is such a great official! It's better for Your Excellency to report your name and position, and see if you can scare the official! ”

This fat man has been in the ministry for a long time, and he has become a habit of being scolded, thinking that everyone will be afraid of these people who hold official hats, so he actually roared at Liu Haojia and shouted: "I am the son and nephew of the Zhang family, a fourth-generation eleventh jinshi, and I am called Zhang Yangu below, but I am the Langzhong of the official department!" If you know each other, get out quickly, otherwise you won't be able to eat tomorrow! ”

Liu Haojia didn't move when he heard where he was sitting, and said: "It turned out to be Master Zhang from the Ministry of Officials, but I didn't see it!" The point is, this dress doesn't match your identity! ”

The brocade guards beside Liu Haojia immediately burst into laughter, and even some of the girls and guests standing below couldn't help laughing! Zhang Yangu, who was teased, just wanted to speak, when he suddenly heard Liu Haojia say loudly: "Tie him up, take him back when you leave for a while, and send it to the court tomorrow!" ”

Zhang Yangu's face changed greatly when he heard this, and before he could shout, he was pressed to the ground and tied up by Jinyiwei. But he still refused to stop, and struggled and said, "How dare you tie me? Let go of me! ”

Liu Haojia smiled and said, "This official has been tied!" And this official reminds you of one thing, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, officials are not allowed to stay with prostitutes! You are an official, you should know that! And this is the ancestral system! ”

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang changed the Jiaofang to the Jiaofang Division. Priest - prison, picket management also! With the addition of the word "division," the nature of this organization has completely changed.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent the wives and daughters of political criminals, prisoners of war and other criminals to the Department of Education, and the younger ones were taught to their aunts to teach their skills. Or the piano flute, or chanting, different people learn different things, but the fate after that is the same. That is, after completing his studies, he was distributed by the Department of Education to various government-run brothels to perform and dedicate himself to those businessmen and nobles.

During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the capital of the country was Nanjing, and there were 14 government-run brothels on the banks of the Qinhuai River at that time, less than 20 miles away. This also made the banks of the Qinhuai River at that time the most lively and wealthy places in the whole city of Nanjing at night. The proceeds of the brothels go into the treasury, and the women in them are sinful and will never rise unless they are ransomed at a high price.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly stipulated that government-run brothels are only open to the people, and no court official is allowed to step into it! It is recorded in the "Great Ming Law" and the "Imperial Decree" that all Ming officials, up to the six ministries and down to the arresters, are not allowed to prostitute themselves, and if officials are caught soliciting prostitutes or are reported to be found to be true, they will be punished with 60 court rods.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a difficult situation, so he has always exerted high pressure on the discipline of officials. But just as his efforts to fight corruption have led to more corrupt officials, his crackdown has not had a good effect. As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang falls, no one will be able to restrain these officials!

Since the development of the Jianwen, Yongle, and Hongxi dynasties, the prostitution of the Ming Dynasty's bureaucratic group has almost reached the point of giving the emperor a headache. The official brothels run by the Department of Education and Workshop are doing a hot business, and many private brothels have also taken advantage of the loopholes of relaxed policies and failure to hold the public accountable.

During the reign of Xuanzong and Zhu Zhanji, the prostitution industry in the Ming Dynasty spread all over the country, and the development of Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou was particularly prosperous. Even in remote and impoverished counties, brothels can be found everywhere. During the Xuande period, the Ming Dynasty was in its heyday, with no internal political turmoil and no strong enemies to disturb it. Therefore, most of the officials' energy has nowhere to be used, so they spend all their time on the wind and snow.

A very excessive thing happened during the Xuande period. The three imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate, Yan Hao, Fang Ding, and He Jue, were so forgetful and forgetful in the brothel that they did not go to the morning court the next day. Zhu Zhanji was very angry, so he asked the Jinyi guard to buckle the wooden shackles for the three of them and escort them to the court. The imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was specially responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and even their style was so unbearable that one can imagine how presumptuous the rest of the officials were about soliciting prostitution.

This incident undoubtedly sounded the alarm bell for Zhu Zhanji, in fact, he has always had worries about this since he took office, but because of the great development of the prostitution industry, many officials are involved, so he can only turn a blind eye. However, after this incident, Zhu Zhanji, after careful consideration, still made up his mind and issued a will to "eliminate pornography".

This was the first time in Chinese history that the "anti-pornography operation" was initiated by direct order of the emperor. Zhu Zhanji's purpose is very clear, that is, to purge the government program and sweep away the promiscuous tendencies in officialdom.

Zhu Zhanji's determination is very great, and his methods are also vigorous and resolute. As soon as the order was issued, a large-scale commotion immediately broke out in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty. The government-run brothels that had been in operation for decades, and the private brothels that lined the streets, were either demolished or burned down, and a large number of prostitutes were dismissed.
