Want to fight to the death?
Haha, the literati think too much.
History proves that the barrel of a gun is more powerful than the barrel of a pen!
Since Yan Shenggong and his family became the protagonists of the Ming Dynasty concert tour, countless young literati have taken to the streets to parade.
They lashed out at the court for its inadequacies, thinking that the court treated the law as child's play!
If things go on like this, the country will no longer be a country, and people in the world will not respect the law. The laws will be chaotic, morals will be ruined, and there will be no father or mother...
Everything seems to appear due to punishment!
In Northern Zhili, Southern Zhili, and everywhere where literature flourished, activities were held "spontaneously" to protest the injustice of Duke Yan Sheng.
These literati wanted to show the Ming Dynasty how stupid it was to punish Duke Yansheng.
To punish Duke Yansheng, countless crimes must be inflicted on the rulers.
Then, these literati were arrested.
First, in the capital, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, literati who dared to gather were first given a warning.
Those who continued after being warned were all arrested and sent to prison and the Ministry of Punishment.
When the cells could no longer fit, they were moved into the military barracks.
Anyone who dares to run around will be killed on the spot!
Thousands of literati gathered in the capital and organized three wave of demonstrations, but they were all arrested.
Next are the major cities, which suffer the same treatment.
Anyone who dared to complain to Duke Yan Sheng would be arrested.
Have reason and evidence and act in accordance with the law!
The literati of the Ming Dynasty, who had always controlled public opinion, were completely at a disadvantage when faced with the ridicule of the Ming Dynasty Weekly and countless theater troupes and storytellers hired by the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, the most exciting one is naturally Kong Yinzhi’s concert tour.
Whenever Yan Shenggong held a concert there, literati would gather and parade.
Then he was roughly arrested by the marching army.
A city, a town, a state, a prefecture, countless cities. In a small Ludi, 10,000 literati were captured, plus their families!
The jails are full.
The literati couldn't bear it any longer.
Seeing so many people being arrested, everyone felt that the imperial court would be unable to withstand the pressure and use weak methods to make big problems trivial.
The Ming Dynasty needed scholars to help them rule after all!
After waiting day after day, no announcement or imperial edict appeared from the court. Instead, they even more severely scolded the literati for manipulating the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Many literati have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
However, more literati chose to launch more powerful demonstrations!
Then, a scene occurred that made the literati of the Ming Dynasty angry.
Chongzhen issued an imperial edict, and the New Army suddenly announced that he would let the New Army and the Jin Yiwei hold a public trial against the Ming literati!
Without a joint trial by the three judicial divisions of the Ministry of Punishment, the great scholar was actually allowed to be interrogated by the mud-legged man and the court eagle dog.
I'm waiting for everyone to sweep the floor politely!
How does this make the literati lose face?
Your Majesty, do you really want to force us to rebel?
When countless Ming literati were angry, the New Army had already detained many of the literati who took the lead in making trouble.
The New Army directly summoned the people of Ming Dynasty to hold a trial meeting!
The public trial meeting in Jinling, Zhili in the south, was the most vigorous.
On this day, under a clear sky, more than 10,000 people gathered outside Jinling City.
Around the grand stand of the public trial, a thousand New Army soldiers and newly trained police officers patrolled to maintain order.
On a stand more than ten meters high, four young men of letters were kneeling on the ground!
All four of them were tied up, their mouths were gagged, and they could not speak.
Below, countless people shouted and talked loudly.
Why did people in the Ming Dynasty call public trials concerts?
This is because the emperor was kind and lamented that it was not easy for the people. Every time he held a public trial, he invited vendors to sell all kinds of food.
"Bingtanghulu~"
"Baozi, a steamed bun with thin skin and big filling!"
"Sir, let's take a look at this rouge..."
The young scholar ignored the vendors' shouts and just looked up at the stands.
"Isn't that the Four Great Talents, Mr. Fangyuhou?"
"That one seems to be Fang Yizhi!"
"It's so polite!"
"Let's all shout in unison during the trial, no~"
Before they finished speaking, a few short-handed men took these people away forcibly!
"How dare you disrupt the public trial."
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?"
"Jinyiwei is doing business, and everyone who doesn't need to wait is leaving."
The people who were joining in the fun suddenly did not dare to gather together.
"These scholars are also unlucky. They were arrested while demonstrating on the streets of Jinling, and they dared to come to the public trial to cause trouble."
"No brains!"
"They deserve it. The crimes these people have committed are worthy of beheading!"
"Hey, it's easier for them to have skin and cramps. They'll have to suffer at least a thousand cuts."
"Hey, I just saw a lot of women in the stands, they are so beautiful~"
Zhi~
The sound of sizzling electricity spread throughout the trial venue.
The huge sound silenced the scene!
The people heard the sound of the loudspeaker for the first time.
The sound was so loud that it almost deafened people's ears.
"quiet!"
A powerful voice sounded from the microphone: "I am Sun Chuanting, the commander of the Third Division of the New Army, who acted on behalf of His Majesty Chongzhen to judge Hou Fangyu and other literati who caused trouble in Jinling City!"
After speaking, Sun Chuanting looked at the kneeling young man.
"Hou Fangyu, Mao Xiang, Chen Zhenhui, and Fang Yizhi, you four should have a bright future, but you have repeatedly ignored Emperor Chongzhen's orders. You gathered people, paraded, privately discussed the government affairs, talked about the mistakes of the government reforms, and tried to influence Yan
The judgment of the culpability of the Holy Duke Kong Yinzhi. Do you know the guilt?"
The New Army soldiers pulled out the rag from Hou Fangyu's mouth. The other three people asked them to continue kneeling!
Cough~
I can finally speak.
Hou Fangyu looked at his good friends who were tied up around him, then looked at the loudspeaker, and thought, God bless me too.
He said righteously: "Humph, what are the four of us guilty of? Duke Yan Sheng was originally a flawless person, and all the crimes were caused by the treacherous villains around Emperor Chongzhen."
After speaking, Hou Fangyu looked at Sun Chuanting with contempt, hating his betrayal in his heart.
Sun Chuanting was originally a civil servant, so why was he willing to become Chongzhen's lackey?
I don’t know if this will cause chaos in the world?
Thinking of this, Hou Fangyu became more upright and awe-inspiring: "You are not guilty of arranging arrangements for Yan Shenggong, but you do not allow us to restore the world to justice. You treacherous villains will be punished by God!"
Sun Chuanting smiled coldly: "Hey, are you trying to pin me down? Unwarranted guilt? Hehe, come on, bring the criminal Kong Yinzhi up."
Hou Fangyu was stunned for a moment and turned his head, just in time to see a fat man with a somewhat thin figure walking over.
"Kong Yinzhi, the microphone is here, tell me about the crimes you have committed over the years!"
Hou Fangyu felt bad.
When he wanted to say something to boost Kong Yinzhi's morale, he was kicked hard by the new army.
boom!
"ah……"
Hou Fangyu opened his mouth and screamed.
A stinking rag was stuffed into his mouth!
Woohoo~
Seeing Hou Fangyu's miserable state, Kong Yinzhi felt quite complicated, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
His every step is controlled, both young and old, and life and death cannot be controlled by him.
For the sake of the continuation of the family, I have no choice but to suffer from you literati.
Afterwards, he saluted Sun Chuanting with an apologetic smile, and then stated the crimes he had committed over the years.
"Everyone of the Ming Dynasty, I am Kong Yinzhi, a descendant of Kong Sheng, but I am not worthy to be his descendant. I have brought shame to my ancestors... I have committed countless crimes..."
Kong Yinzhi's words were very thorough and showed no intimidation at all. The people of the Ming Dynasty were dumbfounded and the literati were dumbfounded.
We still want to seek justice for Yanshenggong, but this suffering master has rebelled!
I'll give you a geoduck!
Hou Fangyu felt that his life was dark.
After Kong Yinzhi finished describing his crimes, it was Sun Chuanting's time to speak.
"Okay, the criminal Kong Yinzhi has finished telling his guilt. The court did not force a confession in all this. He answered voluntarily. What do you think? Really?"
"Yes, I deserve it!"
Kong Yinzhi stood stiffly on the spot.
He thought about the torture he had suffered in the past few days in his mind.
Although there was no physical torture to extract a confession, the mental and spiritual torture was even more terrifying!
"Okay, the criminal Kong Yinzhi has finished speaking. Then let us put these bold literati on trial!"
Sun Chuanting signaled to his subordinates to pull away the smelly rag: "Hou Fangyu, do you know the crime?"
"I am not guilty."
The sound spread throughout the venue through speakers.
It is loud and powerful.
What a righteous and upright gentleman!
Sun Chuanting sneered: "It doesn't matter, I will leave you speechless."
PS: The magic has changed the ages of Hou Fangyu and the other four young masters! Otherwise, they would all be little brats at this time.
