"Your Highness! The blood and sweat of the people of Jinling, the hard work of the Confucianism in the southeast, how can it be lightly given to Fanbang! ”

"The ministers led the southern prison to all the students, and the joint name of the seven major sparse fansheng should be punished, and a few people will die if they die!"

Gu Kexue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took the southern prison students to take the lead in the subdued que, and more than 800 Ming Guozi prisoners knelt under the Chengtian Gate.

Ce Yan Zhou Liang, who was kneeling on the side, already had blood marks on his forehead.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Fanchen's life is also his life! The young lord of my family, day and night, admires the style of the Celestial Empire, splendid articles, and there is no other king, although we live overseas, we are also the people of the Son of Heaven, the son of the monarch! ”

Zhu Xizhong and Lu Bing hurried over when they heard the news.

As soon as Fang entered the Fengtian Gate, Zhu Xizhong, who was holding a black gauze hat, said to himself: "Old bald donkey, I'm *you*!" ”

"How many prisoners have died, and you dare to come to Fuque? They don't deserve to enter this door when they are alive, can they become immortals when they die? ”

Zhu Xizhong had an oral gymnastics, and before Lu Bing could pull it, Zhu Xizhong had already finished scolding.

"Chenggong, you are more restrained, there are still a lot of prisoners of our Ming Dynasty......"

Ce Yan Zhou Liang knocked on the ground again.

"Your Highness! Injustice! ”

"Wrong, Your Highness!"

Before Ceyan Zhou Liang's words fell, he only felt a strong wind blowing in front of him.

"Smack!" A crisp sound resounded through the Chengtian Gate.

Then there was a bloody mark on Zhou Liang's face.

"The Japanese are crying out in Nanjing? Have you wronged your mother? ”

Ceyan Zhou Liang was knocked out by Ning Jue's wat board, and sat on the ground sideways, covering his face and looking at Ning Jue with a confused expression.

"Who are you? Dare to lose your honor before the king? ”

Ceyan Zhou Liangjing got up and confronted Ning Jue, and before he could finish speaking, he was kicked over by Zhu Xizhong behind him.

"Who TM got you on your feet? Kneel down! ”

Ceyan Zhou Liang stared at Ning Jue and then shouted angrily: "Do you want to burn me to death like that cool official burned my young lord? Overseas small states also know the word loyalty! Injustice is injustice! What am I guilty of?! What am I guilty of?! ”

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, whoever crosses the lawsuit will be punished with fifty lashes!"

"I didn't go beyond the lawsuit!"

"Then have you gone to the Yamen of the Political Envoy to file a complaint?!"

Ceyan Zhou Liang's mouth opened, and all the words behind him were blocked back by Ning Jue.

Where did the Ming Dynasty come from?

"No, is it? Drag it down and fight! ”

Ning Jue raised his head abruptly and looked at Feng Bao behind him.

"Feng Bao was stunned, and if he didn't drag it out, he would be flogged fifty!"

Feng Bao swallowed his saliva, and then said, "Hey." ”

I saw Feng Bao run into the palace, find a rattan with the thickness of a forearm, and pull it off Ce Yan Zhou Liang's back.

By the time it was enough, Ce Yan Zhou Liang's back had already been torn open by the whipping.

Looking at Ceyan Zhou Liang, who was paralyzed on the ground and panting, Ning Jue spoke: "Can the envoy continue to sue?" ”

"Sue! As long as there is a breath left......"

"You now have two choices, go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to file a complaint, or go straight to the court."

"Fu Que is another level, and then fifty."

Ceyan Zhou Liang gritted his teeth and roared: "I'll go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to sue!" ”

"Good! Nanjing's chief and vice presidents are all on a business trip, and the Southern Court takes me as the head, what do you say? ”

Ceyan Zhou Liang gritted his teeth and roared: "I want to sue the cool officer Ning Jue!" Burn my young master. ”

I saw Ning Jue holding the jade belt staring at Ceyan Zhou Liang and said in a low voice: "The rules of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, the first cane is twenty, fight!" ”

After being beaten, Ce Yan Zhou looked at Ning Jue angrily.

"But, can you sue?"

"Yes, who is in the hall to sue this official?"

Should I say it or not, Ceyan Zhouliang's mentality is a little collapsed at this moment.

Tears fell.

There was only one word left in his mouth with a crying voice.

"You still have to sue more, right? Father-in-law Feng, flog fifty more. ”

"Hit!"

As soon as Ning Jue's words fell, Gu Kexue, Zhu Zaili and other officials were all shocked in place.

If you can't do it, give him a happy one.

Feng Bao looked at Zhu Zaili with some confusion.

It wasn't until Zhu Zaili bowed his head that Feng Bao said, "Hey." "Yes.

and fifty sturdy rattans.

"Cool officer! Kill me! ”

"The two countries are still at war, what do you think of the Celestial Empire? Someone ...... coming."

Without waiting for Ning Jue to finish speaking, Lu Bing pulled Ning Jue back.

"In the end, if you fight again, you will die, first slowly, there are still big things."

"Cheng, then you can discuss it."

Ning Jue reluctantly found a clean cloth on Ceyan Zhou Liang to wipe the blood on his hands, and then left Chengtianmen.

Only the crowd was left messy in the wind.

"Discussion...... Is it? ”

Zhu Xizhong turned his neck mechanically and glanced at Ce Yan Liangchen, who had passed out like rotten meat on the ground.

"This, or another day?"

"Exactly."

Together with the 26-member delegation of Ceyan and Zhou Liang, they were placed in the same hall.

When he was carried back to the Huitong Hall, Ceyan Zhou Liang woke up slowly.

"Master Zhou Liang, let's ...... What's next? ”

Ceyan Zhou Liang said blankly with empty eyes: "Keep making trouble, the matter is not big enough." ”

"Do you want to keep making trouble? How else can we continue to make trouble......"

Ceyan Liangchen took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Crying filial piety!" ”

"Let's go out of the city tomorrow to Xiaoling and cry!"

"The filial piety tomb is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao of the Celestial Dynasty, I don't believe that cool official dares to execute in front of the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao!"

The twenty-five people who accompanied him all nodded in approval when they heard this.

Ce Yan Zhou Liang found a delicate porcelain vase in his bag.

Then, he endured severe pain and took the skin bag filled with water from everyone, and sprinkled all the medicinal powder in the porcelain bottle into it.

——

As soon as the city gate was opened the next morning, Zhou Liang took the twenty-five people out of the city, and finally stopped in a forest not far from the Xiaoling Tomb.

The civil and military officials should dismount at this point, and the people do not want to come over to violate the ban unless it is important, and outside the dismount fang, it is not the jurisdiction of Xiaolingwei, and there is just a small no-man's land.

"Everyone eats saliva, and we start crying after we get off the horse shop."

With that, the skin was passed among the twenty-five.

"This water has been a little long, and it has a strange smell."

"The land of filial piety is important, and the water is the dragon vein of the Son of Heaven, so you can't take it without permission, so let's eat it first." Zhou Liang, who was leaning against the tree, persuaded him.

Then the twenty-five men ate up all the water in their skins.

It's just that after everyone drank the water, Ce Yan Zhou Liang, who was leaning under the tree, didn't mean to get up for a long time.

"Master Zhou Liang, what are we waiting for?"

"Don't worry, wait for the three poles in the sun, let's go over."

"Then why are we in such a hurry to get water?"

Ce Yan Zhou Liang stopped talking, but the twenty-five people already had a cramping pain in their stomachs.

"Mage, you!"

Ce Yan Zhou Liang frowned and said in a low voice: "I can't help it, if I can't do it, will it be the Wailing Tomb?" Let's let Da Ming know that although I am a small overseas state, there are also loyal and righteous people who dare to die, so that I will not despise you and me! ”

After Ceyan Zhou Liang finished speaking, those people had already fallen to the ground one after another.

It wasn't until everyone fell to the ground that Ceyan Zhouliang got up from the ground with difficulty, glanced at the sun, and then said, "Fortunately, there is still time." ”

Ce Yan Zhou Liang was afraid that the effect of the medicine would not be enough, so he deliberately started with the last few people who drank water.

The twenty-five men were arranged in the shape of a seppuku.

After working for three or four hours, it was not until the afternoon that Ceyan Zhou Liang picked up the threat that belonged to him.

He used up what little strength he had left, and shouted.

"It's dark and it's onboard!"

The filial piety guards guarding the filial piety tomb do not move in the wind and rain.

The corners of Ce Yan Zhou Liang's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

Because of Xiao Lingwei, it seems that he really didn't notice what someone was doing here.

Ce Yan Zhou Liang can still crawl, but these twenty-five corpses, Ce Yan Zhou Liang really can't move.

After pondering for a moment, Ceyan Zhou Liang had to sit down on the ground.

Until it gets dark.

Only then did Zhou Liang tear off a piece of sackcloth from his clothes, and then made a torch from the branches he had picked up.

Seeing the fire flashing under the mountain, Xiaoling Wei made a loud noise.

——

As soon as Fang entered the night, Lu Bing and Mai Fu, who got the news, hurried to Qingning Palace to communicate.

"Your Highness, something happened to the Japanese envoy."

"Twenty-five members of the mission committed suicide in Xiaoling."

Zhu Zaili was shocked when he heard this.

"Suicide in Xiaoling?"

Mai Fu also rushed in from outside the hall, and arched his hand towards Zhu Zaili: "Your Highness, it's not self-killing, it's already been tested, it seems that it was poisoned first, and then it was put on the appearance of self-destruction." ”

"Poisoned by someone and posed as a suicide?!"

Zhang Juzheng, who was standing behind Zhu Zaili, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Father-in-law Mai, it doesn't matter whether he killed himself or not, there is only one seedling left in Zhou Liang, and if he dies, his father's errand will not be completed." ”

The eyes of everyone in the hall immediately focused on Zhu Zaili's body.

Zhu Zaili also nodded immediately and said: "It's almost over, report to my father and the emperor to choose some clan relatives to help Li Tian and practice the whip method." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Zaili looked at Lu Bing and McFuy with some concern.

"Two, let this Ceyan Zhouliang go back like this, what if Japan only swallows the drawings and doesn't use the whipping method?"

Lu Bing and McFuy smiled when they heard this, and then said: "Your Highness, I can't help them, let's just help Fanbang make a high profile." ”

"If you really force Dongyi to practice the whip method, it depends on him Wang Wufeng."

"Ship Master?"

"As long as Wang Wufeng goes to sea on this trip, whether it is for the sake of face or for the sake of the inside, he must be whipped!"

——

Just when the envoys of the two states were still making trouble in the north and south of Beijing respectively.

Flat-bottomed boats from Jiangxi and Songjiang sailed into Wusongkou one after another.

Countless dock laborers unloaded the porcelain of the Yan family and the Songjiang cotton cloth of the Xu family on the ship, and loaded them onto Wang Zhi's sea boat.

The leaders of the 36 islands of Zhoushan also gathered on the Wusongkou wharf.

Different from the goods sent out in the past, this batch is the most ordinary civilian utensils, cotton cloth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have already explained to someone Wang on the road before."

"For the sake of gold and silver in the future, we can make less or even no money on this batch of goods."

"But a year later, there can't be a chimney at the mouth of a kiln in Shenjiangpo, Japan, and Gyeonggi Province, North Korea, and I can't let someone hear the slightest sound of a machine!"

The leaders of the thirty-six islands sang "喏" in unison, and finally Wang Zhi waved his hand and said loudly: "Anchor!" ”

With the sound of "squeak", the hemp rope on the deck was taut and the sails were full.

All the ships that could go to sea on the 36 islands of Zhoushan left the port, first went north to Wusongkou and then sailed east one after another.

The porcelain from various provinces in Jiangxi and the cotton cloth from the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are still being transported to Wusongkou in a steady stream.

In East Asia in the 16th century, there was never a power that could ban the Ming maritime merchants.

There was only one choice left before the king of Joseon and the shogunate of Japan.

-- Whipping in an attempt to preserve some of the people's wealth.

After all, if you practice the whip method, you can still follow Daming to bite two Western merchants!

Once capital was born in the Ming Dynasty, it meant that all the struggles that had occurred in the history of the West would lose their meaning.

No matter how powerful the power is, it will be as brittle as a piece of paper in front of the huge volume of the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Just as Napoleon was not born in France, but in a highly unified Europa.

All this will greatly speed up the original historical process.
