Chapter 311: Liu Daxia's Ending
The next morning.
Jiao Fang, the second assistant of the cabinet, first challenged Liu Daxia: "Your Majesty." Cen Meng, the second son of the former Tianzhou Tusi Cen Pu, and his wife risked their lives to enter Beijing, suing the current Tusi Cen Yi for killing his father and seizing the throne in the twelfth year of Hongzhi! ”
As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar.
The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Unfilial piety is a heinous crime. Not to mention the murder of the father?
It's not just the Ming. In which dynasty and generation, killing one's own father is also a heinous crime.
The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have always been inseparable from crime!
The court immediately exploded: "If this matter is true, Cen Yi should be executed by Ling Chi!" ”
"Yes. If it is true, the imperial court should raise troops to crusade against Cen Yao! ”
"It's sensational! For the sake of power, he even killed his own father! ”
"That's not right. It's six or seven years ago, why didn't the military department play it? ”
Liu Jin stood up at the right time: "Your Majesty." Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, actually accepted a box of jewelry from Cen Yi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi. Concealed the murder of his father for Cen Yao. ”
"The old slave has arrested Liu Daxia for interrogation. He confessed to taking bribes and concealing the news. ”
"The old slave respectfully invites the emperor to interrogate Liu Daxia."
Chang Feng stood up: "Your Majesty." The inner factory will arrest the Xia official without a purpose, which is not in accordance with the rules! ”
Liu Jin said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the establishment of the inner factory, the responsibility of the inner factory was to picket the illegal affairs of hundreds of officials. The summer officers of the military department are also among the hundred officials. ”
Emperor Zhengde said: "In this way, according to what Liu Jin said, I will be the chief judge to interrogate Liu Daxia." If Liu Daxia's bribery and concealment are true, the internal factory will not be investigated. ”
"If Liu Daxia is wronged. The inner factory must be severely punished from top to bottom. ”
"Jurors, I'm going to pick three. Liu Jin is one, Chang Feng is one, and Zuodu Yushi Tu is one. ”
Tu Tu was one of the leaders of the Qingliu in the DPRK and had always had a reputation for justice.
Emperor Zhengde asked him to be a jury in order for him to be a witness.
At noon that day, the North Flower Hall of the Leopard Room became a lobby for the trial.
Emperor Zhengde sat on the dragon chair. Liu Jin, Chang Feng, and Tu Tu sat at the bottom.
A group of Jinyi Wei Han generals acted as officials standing in the hall, with pestles and sticks standing on both sides.
Emperor Zhengde likes to role-play.
He picked up the startling wood and slapped it with a "pop"! Then he shouted: "Ascension!" ”
A group of Han generals sang in unison: "Mighty."
Emperor Zhengde said: "Take the plaintiff Cen Meng and Mrs. Washi." ”
Cen Meng and Mrs. Washi went up to the lobby.
Cen Meng can only speak a limited number of Chinese words. The matter of the complaint was handled by Mrs. Watts.
Mrs. Washi was indignant and told Emperor Zhengde about the process of Cen Yao's murder of his father.
Emperor Zhengde listened and said: "Since it is a trial, I can't just listen to you. Do you say that Cen Yi killed his father, but there are witnesses on the side? ”
Mrs. Washi asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, is it not enough for me and my husband to have two witnesses?" ”
Emperor Zhengde opened the Qingtian master mode: "There are rules for the Ming official office to ask about the case, and the plaintiff cannot be a witness." ”
Liu Jin interjected: "Your Majesty, Cen Yi has a witness who has enough weight to kill his father. ”
Emperor Zhengde asked, "Oh? Who? ”
Liu Jin replied: "Liu Daxia." ”
Tu Tu objected: "That's not right. According to what you mean, Liu Laobutang is willing to testify for Cen Yao's murder of his father? If he testifies, it will be tantamount to confirming his own charge of accepting bribes and concealing reports! ”
Liu Jin smiled: "This is the preciousness of Liu Daxia!" The three gentlemen of Hongzhi are not shouting in vain! He was indeed a gentleman. ”
Emperor Zhengde said: "Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department." ”
Chang Feng was worried that the inner factory would torture Liu Daxia.
Unexpectedly, Liu Daxia came to the court, his official robe was neat, his steps were steady, and his face was ruddy. It doesn't look like he's been tortured at all.
Chang Feng despised Liu Jin too much.
Since Liu Daxia himself admitted to accepting bribes and concealing reports, why did he still punish him and be suspected of "extorting confessions by torture and beating him into confessions"? Liu Jin is not so stupid.
stayed in the inner factory for one night, and Liu Jin ordered his inner eunuchs to serve Liu Daxia. Even Liu Daxia's dinner and breakfast were made by Liu Jin who sent a famous chef raised outside his home to the edict.
Liu Daxia bowed to Emperor Zhengde.
Emperor Zhengde respected Liu Daxia very much, a meritorious veteran who governed the country, fought wars, fought in the feudal territory, and managed the army.
Emperor Zhengde said: "Give Liu Qing a seat." ”
Chang Feng violated etiquette, and preemptively spoke to hint at Liu Daxia: "Liu Laobutang." Last night, he was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison by the inner factory. Did the people in prison ever torture you and force you to admit to accepting bribes and concealing information? ”
Liu Jin's face changed: "Your Majesty, Chang Feng is trying to retract his confession in front of you." ”
Chang Feng quality four times: "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense." How can Father-in-law Liu tarnish people's innocence out of thin air? ”
Emperor Zhengde waved his hand to interrupt the quarrel between the two, and then looked at Liu Daxia: "Liu Qing, I ask you, is it true that you accepted bribes and concealed reports?" ”
Liu Daxia replied: "It's true." ”
Liu Jin interjected on the side: "Your Majesty, you see, as the old slave said, Liu Daxia is a gentleman and confesses to the illegal things he has committed in the past. ”
Emperor Zhengde asked Liu Daxia: "Why do you want to do this?" ”
Liu Daxia replied: "Your Majesty." The minister did this for the sake of the stability of Guangxi. ”
"It doesn't matter if the Frontier Tusi is a normal heir or a father-killing heir. It is important that Toast is loyal to the Ming Dynasty! ”
"The minister judged at that time that although Cen Yi did the murder of his father, he was very smart and would not oppose the powerful Ming army."
"He has been a toast for seven years, has there ever been a rebellion in Tianzhou? Has there ever been a brute change? None of them. It proved that the minister's judgment at that time was correct. ”
"If the minister will kill his father and heir at that time. The imperial court will definitely send a large army to attack Cen Yi and provoke a rebellion. ”
"In Guangxi, over the years, there has been one toast anti, and ten toasts have followed the anti. At that time, the ground in Guangxi will be a mess. ”
"The imperial court will send countless troops and spend countless money and food to quell the rebellion."
Liu Daxia's words made Emperor Zhengde fall into thought.
Emperor Zhengde said secretly: If I had dealt with Cen Yao's murder of his father back then, I am afraid that I would have chosen to calm things down.
What is the injustice of Cen Pu and Cen Meng's father and son compared to the stability of the whole Guangxi?
Although he knew that Liu Daxia was an old man seeking the country, Emperor Zhengde still wanted to punish him.
If you want to take back the military power of the border army and the guard army in the world, you must move away from the stumbling block of Liu Daxia!
Emperor Zhengde said: "Liu Qing, although you are doing this for the stability of Guangxi. But it violated the laws of the imperial court. ”
Liu Daxia did not deny it: "Go back to the emperor." The testimonies are the testimonies, whether they are pleasing or not. ”
"The minister is willing to accept all punishments."
"There is another matter, which the minister wants to explain. Those who are clear are self-purifying. The box of jewels that Cen Yi sent to the minister was sent to the inner carrier warehouse by the minister. There is a detailed ticket of the tribute bill of the inner carrier warehouse as evidence. ”
"The detailed ticket of the tribute list is in the study of the minister's house. The emperor can send someone to fetch it to verify the authenticity. ”
Emperor Zhengde said: "You don't need to take it." Liu Qing's character is known. Since you admit to accepting bribes and concealing reports, take Liu Qing back to the edict first, so that you can serve for a living. If he is missing a hair during the edict, I will ask you. ”
The two Han generals took Liu Daxia down.
Next, we will discuss the punishment of Liu Daxia.
Liu Jin hopes to completely kill Liu Daxia, in a physical sense.
Liu Jin said: "Your Majesty, Liu Daxia, as a summer official of the Ministry of War, colluded with the Frontier Tusi and deceived the monarch. It is a real plot and an attempt to rebel. ”
"According to the law, Ling Chi should be punished with death! But please ask the emperor to read that Liu Daxia is a veteran of the Four Dynasties and has quite a meritorious service. The old slave suggested that Liu Daxia Bai Aya commit suicide! ”
Chang Feng said: "When did Liu Daxia intend to rebel?!" If he wants to rebel, the more chaotic the world, the better it will be for him. He should send troops to crusade against Cen Yi in Tianzhou and provoke a large-scale rebellion in Guangxi! ”
Liu Jin said: "In short, Liu Daxia must be killed." If you don't kill Liu Daxia, you can't be in the right direction. How will the mouth of the world be evaluated? A military officer who shielded the murderer of his father can survive in the world? ”
Chang Feng and Liu Jin went toe-to-toe.
At this moment, Zuodu Yushi Tu Tu opened his mouth and expressed his opinion.
Tu Tu said: "Your Majesty." Liu Daxia's crime must not go unpunished. But never kill! He did this for the sake of the imperial court, but the means were against the law. ”
Liu Jin was a little anxious: "Even if you don't kill him, at least you have to remove him from his official position and send him to the border!" ”
Chang Feng was just about to refute, but he didn't expect Emperor Zhengde to immediately make a decision: "Okay, just dismiss Liu Daxia's official position, demote him to a soldier, and take control of Suzhou!" ”
"In addition, the governor of Guangxi was ordered to send 20,000 elephant guards to escort Cen Meng and his wife back to Tianzhou and regain the position of Tusi."
"If Cen Yi dares to resist, he will be exterminated!"
"That's it!"
In this way, Liu Daxia, one of the three gentlemen of Hongzhi and a meritorious veteran of the Four Dynasties, lost his official position and was assigned to the northwest at the age of seventy-three.
Cen Meng and Mrs. Washi shouted: "The emperor is wise! Hooray, hooray! ”
Chang Feng thought of interceding for Liu Daxia: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhengde waved his hand: "Don't say it again." I've made up my mind! In addition, when Liu Daxia was on the border, he died in a daze. Liu Jin, don't be the governor of your inner factory! ”
Emperor Zhengde really beat Liu Jin: I dismissed Liu Daxia's officials and let him go to the northwest. But if you are not satisfied, you will kill him. Don't blame me for being merciless to you.
Liu Jin hurriedly said: "Yes, the old slave obeys the order." The old slave will go to Suzhou to guard the eunuch and let the good students over there take care of Liu Daxia. ”
Emperor Zhengde looked at Mrs. Washi again.
Mrs. Wa's face is quite like that of an alien woman, not to mention that she also has long legs and walks "duang, duang, duang".
Emperor Zhengde thought about her.
Men, let alone seeing wildflowers on the roadside, even if you see dog shit on the roadside, you want to lick it twice and taste it.
Emperor Zhengde said: "Ah, this time Mrs. Washi escorted her husband into Beijing. During the bloody battle with the killer sent by Cen Yi, it was really thrilling. ”
"I love to hear stories with twists and turns! Tonight, Mrs. Watts will have dinner in the leopard room. ”
"Alright, quit!"
Emperor Zhengde was shocked, and the dust settled on Liu Daxia's case in the first year of Zhengde.
Chang Feng led Cen Meng back to the house.
Liu Xiaoyan asked, "What about my sister Wa's?" ”
Chang Feng didn't answer, but said to Cen Meng: "You go back to the room first to pack up, prepare to go south to Guangxi, and take on the task of toast." ”
After Cen Meng left, Chang Feng lowered his voice and said to Liu Xiaoyan: "I'm afraid the emperor has taken a fancy to Mrs. Wa's family." Leave her in the leopard room for dinner. You may have to stay overnight. ”
Liu Xiaoyan was furious: "Zhu Houzhao, this kid, why don't you learn well, and you prefer to learn from Meng De?" What kind of yellow flower girl is there in the leopard room. He just fell in love with someone else's wife! ”
Chang Feng smiled bitterly: "Alas"
Let's talk about the night, the leopard room dormitory.
Emperor Zhengde hosted a banquet to entertain Mrs. Wa's. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Emperor Zhengde is already confused.
He instructed Gu Dayong: "You all stand down." ”
Gu Dayong led a group of palace maids and eunuchs out of the dormitory, and closed the door of the dormitory casually. Then he covered his mouth and chuckled.
In the dormitory, Emperor Zhengde left the throne and sat next to Mrs. Washi, and put his arm around Mrs. Wa's shoulder: "Good sister, hehe." ”
Mrs. Washi used a little force and directly broke free from Emperor Zhengde's hand.
Then she stood up, took two steps back, and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, do you want to sleep with me?" ”
Emperor Zhengde smiled: "Yes, yes! Good sister, let's enjoy me for a night. ”
Do you think that the next step is to stage a scene in which a chaste martyr would rather die than obey, and the king of the Emperor will force the martyr to death?
Definitely!
I saw Mrs. Washi smile slightly: "There are many men who want to sleep with my sister." Not more than you. ”
"Not to mention staying with you for one night, even if it's three or five nights."
"But I have rules. Only a man who can beat me deserves to sleep with me! ”
A strong woman like Mrs. Washi is bold by nature.
As soon as she said this, the unobtrusive Emperor Zhengde suddenly became interested: "Really? ”
Mrs. Watts replied, "Really! As long as you can beat me, you can sleep for a few nights! Sleep no matter how you want! I'm at the mercy of the emperor! ”
Emperor Zhengde is overjoyed!
He learned the blades, fists and feet of Jiang Bin and other border generals in the leopard room for a year.
However, Jiang Bin and the others only dared to teach him moves, and did not dare to fight with him.
Mrs. Watts said. Emperor Zhengde's desire for bed has become secondary, and the important thing is - hey, finally someone dares to compete with me!
Emperor Zhengde was very confident in his martial arts. Our Xiao Zhu's martial arts this year are not in vain!
Emperor Zhengde asked: "Is it a fist or a blade?" Good sister, you choose! ”
Mrs. Washi said: "How can you move the blade when you fight with the emperor, the sword has no eyes." I think it's like punches and kicks! ”
Emperor Zhengde walked to the wide place in the center of the dormitory and arched his hand towards Mrs. Washi: "Good sister, please make a move!" ”
As soon as Emperor Zhengde's words fell, Mrs. Washi kicked on Emperor Zhengde's stomach with a left right.
Emperor Zhengde was in pain and took a few steps back.
Mrs. Washi swept Emperor Zhengde down with a right whip leg.
In the process of Emperor Zhengde falling to the ground, Mrs. Washi made another left jab and hit Emperor Zhengde in the face.
Emperor Zhengde was stunned.
Mrs. Washi rode directly on the dragon body of Emperor Zhengde. I wanted to punch him in the head with a small fist, but I thought again: After all, he is the emperor! Forget it, let's spank!
So Mrs. Washi waved her big hand and slapped Emperor Zhengde's ass one after another.
She slapped Emperor Zhengde and scolded: "There are many posteriors who want to sleep with their sister!" I don't have any real skills and still want my sister to serve below? ”
After more than a dozen slaps, Mrs. Washi, who was a bit of a tiger, suddenly realized that she was not a child born after the wild waves in Guangxi, but today.
She stood up.
Emperor Zhengde is quite capable. A harrier rolls over and soars into the air.
Mrs. Washi thought that Emperor Zhengde was going to be angry.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhengde actually clasped his fists with both hands and gave her a deep look.
Emperor Zhengde's quality is three times: "Sister, you are so capable!" ”
"I'm so skilled!"
"Please teach me the skills!"
This confused Mrs. Washi: "Your Majesty, do you mean you won't sleep with me?" ”
Emperor Zhengde's face was serious: "From today onwards, I will treat my sister as a mother and an aunt!" ”
"My imperial aunt Liu Xiaoyan is my riding and archery master. You will be my fist and foot master from now on! ”
Mrs. Watts said, "Ah, good! In fact, the art of fists and feet does not need any fancy tricks, as long as one word 'fast'! ”
Emperor Zhengde said respectfully: "Slow down, female master, I will go and get a pen and paper and write down your teachings." ”
Emperor Zhengde. Get rid of a cheap skin. Not only was he not angry when he was beaten, but he also recognized Mrs. Washi as a master.
That night, Emperor Zhengde simply gathered a group of leopard slaves in the Leopard Room Martial Arts Hall. Zheng'er is a teacher of Mrs. Baiwa
Chang Feng couldn't help but laugh when he learned about this from Mrs. Washi, and laughed secretly in his heart: The emperor really didn't walk a child!
According to historical records, in the autumn of the first year of Zhengde, due to the Cen Incident in Tianzhou, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was dismissed and sent to Suzhou to fill the army and garrison the border.
Liu Daxia kowtowed through Daming Gate in cloth clothes. The spectators sighed and wept, and the common people brought baskets to serve food and drink. The people burned incense to wish Liu Xiaguan a lifetime.
When they went to the Suzhou garrison, the generals were afraid of offending Liu Jin. Liu Daxia will not be given food and clothing. Confucian students in the northwest walked 300 miles to deliver wine and food to Liu Daxia.
One day, the soldiers drilled. Liu Daxia carried Ge into the ranks. 100 households said, "It doesn't have to be like this."
Liu Daxia said: "The soldier is also a martial artist. The warriors were supposed to practice every day. ”
High-ranking officials were demoted to pawns, and they were not allowed to bring servants. But you can take your children and grandchildren to do filial piety and serve your daily life.
Others asked Liu Daxia why he didn't bring his children and grandchildren.
Liu Daxia said: "When I am an official, I don't take benefits for my children and grandchildren. Now that I am old and punished, how can I bear to let them come to the northwest with me to suffer? ”
In the summer of the fifth year of Zhengde, Liu Jin was executed, Liu Daxia was pardoned and returned to his hometown, and the imperial court gave him the official retention, but Liu Daxia refused. Teach your children and grandchildren to farm and earn a living every day. A slight surplus is distributed to the old clan.
The descendants will pre-make tombstones for them, and they will be epitaphs. Liu Daxia said, "Don't use beautiful words to make me feel ashamed of the underground."
In May of the eleventh year of Zhengde, Liu Daxia died of illness at the age of eighty-one. Emperor Zhengde posthumously presented the Taibao and gave him "Zhongxuan".
The plaintiffs in Liu Daxia's case, Cen Meng and Mrs. Wa, returned to Guangxi. With the help of the Ming army, he killed the eldest brother Cen Yi and regained the position of Tusi.
Cen Meng had a short life, he died before he was forty, and his life was at best a little-known little toast in southern Xinjiang.
Mrs. Watts is glorious in the history books! Famous through the ages!
In the sixth year of Jiajing, because her husband and son died one after another, Mrs. Washi was in charge of the regent, and the territory of Tianzhou was awe-inspiring.
In the seventh year of Jiajing, Jiaozhi invaded, and Jiaozhi elephant soldiers rampaged the Guangxi border. Mrs. Washi led a strong army to defend the country, and defeated the enemy's elephant soldiers in Jiaozhi.
After this battle, the strong soldiers changed their name to "Guangxi Wolf Soldiers".
In the thirty-third year of Jiajing, according to the emperor's edict, Mrs. Washi led 6,000 wolf soldiers in Guangxi to rush to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to resist the Japanese enemy, and fought bloody battles for several years. In every battle, he must take the lead, take the lead bravely, beat the Japanese invaders, and repeatedly perform miraculous feats.
Jiangnan people say: "Huawa family can kill widows." Honorifically called her "Stone Pillar Female General".
Zhang Jing and Hu Zongxian, the two governors of Zhejiang, successively asked the imperial court to seal Mrs. Washi as the "Second Rank Lady".
Oh yes, when Mrs. Washi fought side by side in the southeast against the Japanese invaders, she had two close bosses and comrades-in-arms. The boss is called Yu Dayou, and the comrade-in-arms is called Qi Jiguang
That's another story.
