Zhu Zhanji also enacted a law that, in addition to 60 rods, would also be dismissed from his post and never hired by officials for soliciting prostitution. He also announced to the people in the world that if they engage in prostitution, they will be stripped of their reputation and banned from participating in the imperial examinations.
Zhu Zhanji's anti-pornography efforts were the largest in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, and even the largest in the entire feudal history. Soon after that, almost all the brothels in the whole country were swept away, the scenery on both sides of the Qinhuai River was no longer beautiful, the atmosphere of officialdom was completely new, and Zhu Zhanji believed that he had won the victory.
But that's just the appearance, as the so-called wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows. The problem of the system is the fundamental problem, the problem of customs is the fundamental problem, and the elimination of such open-faced organizations as brothels is only a symptom but not a cure.
Ten years of Xuande, Zhu Zhanji died. The Son of Heaven, who created an unprecedented high-pressure anti-pornography environment, died, the officials had been suppressed for many years, and the customs of Fengyue, which had been suppressed for many years, began to resurge.
During the Wanli period, there was an imperial history named Xing Dong in the south of the Yangtze River. When Xing Tong went to the prison to interrogate her, he coveted her beauty and engaged in adultery with the prostitute Liu Ba in his cell.
Zhang Juzheng, the current head of the cabinet, has a group of wives and concubines at home, most of whom are prostitutes and famous prostitutes in Jiangnan, who were bribed to him by officials. Zhang Juzheng governed the country well, and he was more skilled in the house, and he often took aphrodisiac drugs to maintain his "high energy".
The promiscuous atmosphere spearheaded by high-ranking officials hastened the revival of the prostitution industry. By the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, most of the vassal kings and royal children had hundreds of prostitutes in their mansions, who specialized in providing services to their hosts and guests.
When Zhang Yangu heard Liu Haojia's words, his forehead immediately sweated! And what's interesting is that Liu Haojia is really upright about the ancestral system this time!
The last time he talked about military law, he was a little unreasonable, because the military regulations have changed over the years. However, the prohibition of prostitutes by officials has not changed, but has become more and more strict with the successive emperors! It's just that the life of the officials has been getting better and better over the years, and they have long forgotten this rule!
Hearing Liu Haojia's words, Zhang Yangu stopped struggling, but he closed his mouth tightly and looked completely unconvinced! Seeing him like this, Liu Haojia sneered and said: "Record a confession and nail his case!" ”
Hearing Liu Haojia's order, the four brocade guards who had been standing still behind him immediately came out and asked loudly the name of the girl next to Zhang Yangu, and then took a pen and paper from the counter and began to write a confession.
At this time, Zhang Yangu was really panicked! He didn't know if his charge of being a prostitute could be implemented, and he also believed that his family would help solve it, but no matter what, as long as he was taken away today, his reputation would be completely ruined! I'm afraid that the people in the family won't be able to spare him, not to mention that the official position of the ministry will definitely not be able to be kept! After all, as the old saying goes, some things are better known than seen!
Seeing this scene in front of her, Han Liuniang, who was kneeling on the side, felt shuddered! He already knew that Liu Haojia was serious! But she must not let Liu Haojia take Zhang Yangu away! Once the people in Jingshi know that Chunfeng Lou can't even keep their customers, don't think about opening it again in the future!
So Han Liuniang instantly made up her mind and rushed towards Liu Haojia. But then a brocade guard stopped him. Han Liuniang saw that she couldn't get close to Liu Haojia, so she grabbed the placket of Jinyiwei's clothes with one hand, and stretched out one hand to Liu Haojia and shouted: "Lord Liu, I'll pay the silver, don't take people away!" ”
Liu Haojia looked at Han Liuniang, who was discolored, and said slowly: "Now do you want to pay silver?" It's late! It's not two hundred taels anymore, it's four hundred taels, and you have to pay it for three months! ”
Han Liuniang was not only not frightened by this number, but felt that things had taken a turn for the better, and nodded frantically and said, "Wait a minute, my lord, I will raise money for my lord immediately!" ”
But Liu Haojia didn't want to let her go easily, and said: "This official doesn't have time to wait for you to raise money, either pay the silver now, or ......"
But what she didn't expect was that Han Liuniang still nodded again and again and said: "There is silver, there is silver!" As long as the adults send two people upstairs with me, I will be able to take out the money immediately! I just ask the adults to stop immediately! ”
Liu Haojia turned around and said, "Go to two people to get money from her, what should the others do!" Don't stop if you can't see any money! ”
When Han Liuniang heard this, she jumped up from the ground like a rabbit that had been hit by an arrow and rushed to the second floor! Everyone who watched this spectacle was stunned, and everyone didn't expect that such a weak woman could run at a speed like the wind!
Liu Haojia felt amused for a while when he saw her, but he still waved his hand and motioned for the two brocade guards behind him to follow.
After a while, the two brocade guards each walked out of the account room on the second floor with a package. Before that, Han Liuniang had already rushed downstairs and said to Liu Haojia: "My lord, the silver has been brought, please hurry up and order it to stop!" ”
Liu Haojia turned his gaze to the two brocade guards who walked quickly, and when they approached, one of them said, "My lord, there are more than two hundred taels of cash here, and two hundred taels of bills from the gold and silver shop. Counting the folded color is definitely enough! ”
Liu Haojia waved his hand lazily and said, "Okay, stop it!" Write her a note again! ”
After receiving the order, the brocade guard behind him loudly passed the order down. The other Jinyi guards slowly withdrew their hands and began to gather around Liu Haojia. Especially when more than a dozen brocade guards came out of the back door, Han Liuniang breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, she also understood, Liu Haojia didn't want to do things absolutely. At the very least, the brocade guards who rushed to the backyard were just guarding the door, and didn't really go back. Because Liu Haojia's family also knows that the person who can play in the back courtyard is definitely a real high-ranking official, and he came here to collect cash, not to offend people! Forget about those low-level officials outside, there is no need to provoke too many enemies for yourself.
However, Zhang Yangu didn't plan to let go, he pointed at Zhang Yangu and said: "Take him away and send him to the court tomorrow, and the official will also join him!" ”
At this time, Zhang Yangu remembered Liu Haojia's record of knocking down thirty people at one time, and finally screamed and struggled in fear! But no matter how he struggled and jumped, he couldn't escape the control of Jinyiwei at all!
Seeing this scene, Han Liuniang shouted: "Didn't you give money, why are you still arresting people?" Let Master Zhang go! ”
