Chapter 1187 Enjoy the grace and care of Ming Dynasty
As Zhu Youxiao's voice fell, two great Han generals immediately walked in from outside the hall and came to the hall and pressed Wang Hengzhuang to the ground without saying a word.
Wang Heng was shocked and struggled while shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I am loyal and loyal, completely for Your Majesty to think about the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Youxiao sneered and said, "For my sake? Wang Hengzhuang, as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, you should have been well-educated, but I did not see any knowledge of rituals in you. You just said that Duke Xin has fought in the east and west for the Ming Dynasty, destroyed Jiannu in the north, and captured Taiwan in the south, and saved the Ming Dynasty in danger. It can be said that he has made extraordinary achievements. But because of your false saying, "The Jiangning Army only knows that there is Yang Feng but not me, he wants to transfer him back to the capital to dismiss his post and investigate. Is this how you treat the heroes?
Have you ever thought that if I really listened to you, what would happen if I really dismissed the Duke of Xinguo? In the mild case, the entire Jiangning Army would be without a leader, resulting in the bandits in Jiangnan who could let go of their hands and feet to rage Jiangnan.
By then, the entire Jiangnan will inevitably fall into the hands of bandits. Once such a prosperous place as Jiangnan falls into the hands of bandits, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger? And the culprit that caused all this is you, the fool!"
Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, everyone in the Wenhua Palace was shocked.
Looking at Zhu Youxiao standing on the throne, a strange feeling arose in everyone's heart. Is this the carpenter emperor who only knows how to play wood in the palace and only knows how to mix with others when encountering problems?
"Come!"
Only Zhu Youxiao heard shouting.
"Here!"
The two Han generals below responded together.
Zhu Youxiao pointed at Wang Hengzhuang and said coldly: "Take off this guy's official robe and hat, drag it down and beat me hard!"
The Han general didn't say anything. He pulled off Wang Hengzhuang's black hat one by one, while the other pulled off his official robe and belt, and then dragged him down.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am wronged! Your Majesty..."
Listening to Wang Hengzhuang's voice getting farther and farther away, the Wenhua Palace was silent, and many officials were silent.
Wei Zhongxian, who had been standing in the lower head for a long time, asked softly: "Your Majesty, I wonder how many court sticks will be punished by Wang Hengzhuang?"
Zhu Youxiao sneered: "I heard that since the attack on Shenzong, our Ming officials have not only not ashamed of being beaten by the court, but are proud of it. In this case, I will fulfill their wishes, pass on my will, and beat them hard, and stop when they will be beaten to death!"
The ministers in Wenhua Palace changed their expressions one by one. Even the three cabinet masters, including Sun Chengzong, Zhu Guozhen, and Han Yu, were shocked.
Sun Chengzong quickly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, it must not be done. The court's free system can only be hit by a hundred shots at most. Your Majesty's move is really inappropriate."
Zhu Youxiao was slightly stunned, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Since that's the case, Wei Zhongxian, then you can go to supervise the court stick yourself and hit it with a practical and practical blow, do you understand?"
"Here!"
Wei Zhongxian responded, looked at Sun Chengzong and others with a sneer, and strode out of Wenhua Palace.
The court stick is to hit people with a stick on the court. It is a punishment for officials in the court. It first began with Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
By the Ming Dynasty, a system had been formed. It should be a shame to be punished by the emperor, but in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it changed its flavor.
There is a record in the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty: "Although the stick in the Ming Dynasty was cool, the people were beaten by the stick. The world thought it was the most honorable person and admired it for life."
The Ming Dynasty's court stick began in the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang and lasted for nearly three hundred years, and countless people died during this period. However, it is surprising that the officials of the Ming Dynasty gradually turned from initial fear to desire. Especially in the middle and late periods, the ministers were proud of being given court sticks.
Why is this? Because in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, in order to avoid being sick by history books or later generations, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty usually held up high and gently put down the staff. Few of the officials who were beaten to death by the staff were beaten to death.
In this way, the smell of the court stick changed, and the officials quickly discovered that they could become famous quickly without paying too much money. As long as they find ways to anger the emperor and get themselves beaten. After finishing the board, they could jump back to life after two or three months of cultivation.
Once you have the experience of being shot in the court, you will immediately become a famous scholar admired by everyone in the world. The cost is small and the gains are great. As long as you personally know how to choose such a business, why is this kind of thing not favored by officials?
However, this matter has changed today. As long as the officials in Wenhua Palace are not blind, they know that Zhu Youxiao has become interested in killing.
Although, as Sun Chengzong said, the court stick can only be hit at most 100 times, but the emperor usually only gave the order twenty or thirty times to hit the court stick. Today, Zhu Youxiao pointed out that he would beat the court stick for a hundred times, which was obviously a matter of killing Wang Hengzhuang.
Although he knew that Zhu Youxiao had a murderous intention, Sun Chengzong could not say anything. Han Yu was a little reluctant and wanted to stand up and speak, but was pulled by Zhu Guozhen. He winked at Han Yu and signaled him not to anger the emperor again at this time.
Wang Hengzhuang was beaten with a stick in the courtyard, and the officials who stood up to support him began to panic, not knowing whether to continue to object or to quickly shrink back at this time.
But it wasn't their turn to consider it. Zhu Youxiao had already looked at them and asked, "Now, are you still insisting on resigning the Duke of Xinguo to investigate?"
"this……"
Zhu Youxiao's words forced these officials to the corner. From this incident, they had already seen how strong Zhu Youxiao's desire to protect Yang Feng was. Wang Hengzhuang had already lost his life for this. If they continued to persist in dealing with Yang Feng, they might have to follow Wang Hengzhuang's footsteps.
But if you change your words now, the consequences will be even worse.
Once they change their words, their reputation will be over. What qualifications are there for a person who can change his position in front of the emperor and the officials in the court under threat?
After thinking for a long time, these officials finally made a decision with gritted their teeth. Anyway, there are so many people in us. Even if the emperor is cruel, he will not be able to beat us all to death. Do he still want a reputation?
Soon, a neat sound came from the Wenhua Palace.
"My dearest insists that he should immediately recall Duke Xinguo to the capital and dismiss his post and investigate!"
"Okay... OK!"
Zhu Youxiao was so upset that he nodded: "I am really a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. My bones are so hard. Since that's the case, I will help you and come."
"Here!"
