When approaching the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, Zhu Pingan felt a little strange. The front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice was crowded with people, mostly officials, both civil and military, but more of them were military attachés. They were so lively that they almost thought they were in the wrong place.
The door is open.
The entrance to the Criminal Department Yamen seemed to be under martial law. Every three or five steps there was a guard in brocade clothes with an embroidered spring knife.
In addition to the imperial guards, there are about five small banners of guards in front of the Xingbu Yamen. Each flag has ten people. The soldiers are lined up in bright armor in front of the Xingbu Yamen, making it look like a military parade.
"Liu Qianhu, you're here too." Wang Qianhu greeted Liu Qianhu at the entrance of the Criminal Department Yamen.
"Zhao Qianhu was stabbed in the back. As a leader, I had to come and support him. What about you, Wang Qianhu?" Liu Qianhu replied.
"Like Liu Qianhu, I came here to support Brother Zhao. How can we sweat and bleed for the Ming Dynasty on the front line, while they are enjoying a happy life in the back and stab us in the back? What's the truth?" Wang
Thousands of households were indignant, and in their hearts they were angry and resentful of the powerless civil servants.
"That's right, if we weren't fighting the Tatars, Walas, and Jurchens on the front line, why would they be drinking tea and dancing in the back, and actually repaying kindness with hatred? If I see this kind of person, I have to spit on his face!" Here we go again!
A military attaché came over to greet the two of them and talk to them.
"Zhang Qianshi"
"Lord Wang"
Several military attachés greeted each other and chatted together in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice. Immediately after they arrived, several more civil and military officials came and stood together in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, chatting while waiting for someone.
"It's really lively. I'm afraid I will disappoint you today."
Zhu Ping'an twitched his lips slightly and smiled, then walked towards the entrance of the Criminal Department Yamen.
"There is an important case in the Criminal Department today, so all idle people will be asked to avoid it."
When Zhu Pingan was about to approach the Yamen of the Criminal Department, the Jinyi guard on duty on the street stopped Zhu Pingan with a waist knife and said that the Criminal Department had another case today and told Zhu Pingan to go around.
The Jin Yiwei on duty received the order to go up to the peak. No idlers were allowed to approach this section of the road in front of the Yamen under martial law. They did not know Zhu Pingan, but they saw that Zhu Pingan was wearing regular clothes and carrying a cloth bag slung across his body. He looked like a scholar and a businessman.
Anyway, he didn't look like an official, so he stopped Zhu Pingan.
"I'm not just waiting around." Zhu Ping'an smiled silently after being stopped.
"Who are you smiling at? Leave quickly. If you dare to pester me again, I, Jin Yiwei, have plenty of space in Fusi, North Town!" Jin Yiwei looked at Zhu Ping'an expressionlessly.
"Today's important case of the Ministry of Punishment cannot be carried out without me. I am Zhu Ping'an, a minister of the Hanlin Academy, and I am the person involved in today's important case of the Ministry of Punishment. This is an official document sent to me by the Ministry of Punishment, ordering me to come to the Ministry of Punishment to present my case today." Zhu Pingan shook his head.
Shaking his head, he took out his seal and the official document from the Ministry of Justice from the cloth bag that was slung across his body, and handed them to the Jin Yiwei who stopped him.
It's not their fault for stopping us, it's also their duty. As for the attitude issue, we can't have too high demands on them in this feudal society. There is no such thing as service with a smile in the dictionary of the feudal bureaucracy.
If I were wearing official uniform, they would definitely not dare to stop me.
"My lord, make atonement. Your Majesty, please." After the Jin Yiwei who blocked the road saw Zhu Pingan's seal and the official document of the Ministry of Punishment, he hurriedly bowed to Zhu Pingan and saluted, and returned the seal and the official document of the Ministry of Punishment to Zhu Pingan with both hands.
"You abide by your duties, what's the crime?" Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, took the seal and official documents and put them into the cloth bag on his crossbody.
While Zhu Ping'an was collecting things, a man walked up the street across the street, which made the entrance of the Xingbu Yamen boil. The military attachés at the Xingbu Yamen came up together and greeted the visitor one after another.
The people who came here, like Zhu Ping'an, are the protagonists of today's important case of the Ministry of Punishment, and both are indispensable.
This person is the target of Zhu Ping'an's impeachment - Zhao Daying.
Zhao Daying today is wearing armor, deerskin boots, a standard long sword hanging on his waist, an iron bow on his back, and a pot of feather arrows hanging on his waist on the other side. He is very heroic and has a certain kind of
General style.
Look at Zhao Daying, and then look at Zhu Pingan.
Compared with him, Zhu Pingan is much more ordinary. Just looking at his clothes and demeanor, Zhao Daying is the standard leading actor, while Zhu Pingan is probably just a bitch.
"Brother Zhao, you are here, don't worry, you have brothers supporting you, and no one will insult us warriors for nothing."
"That is, Zhao Qianhu shed blood and sweat for our Ming Dynasty. He has worked hard and made great contributions. He actually hurt people with Xiao Xiao's hidden arrows. It is really shameless. Don't worry, I won't just sit idly by."
"Zhao Qianhu, we support you."
"Today we must make that person surnamed Zhu pay the price. He has never known who he is since he became an official. He actually wants to make a name for himself by framing us. Go ahead and dream about his bullshit. He will be killed today."
Looks good! Let him know that we warriors are not easy to bully!"
"That's right, Zhao Qianhu was promoted by Mr. Yan Ge, and he, Zhu Ping'an, is the elder!"
The military attaches at the Ministry of Justice's Yamen Gate expressed their support for Zhao Daying and verbally attacked Zhu Ping'an.
These military attachés had quite loud voices, and Zhu Pingan could hear them even from a long distance away.
"Thank you to all my colleagues. I, Zhao Da Yingxing, sit upright and am not afraid of villains behind my back! As the saying goes, I am not afraid of a slanted shadow. I have nothing to be afraid of. Today is just a formality. I believe that all the adults who are presiding over the petition will understand.
To clear my name, Zhao Daying, will also give an explanation to our military generals, so that we can fight with all our strength on the front line without worrying about being framed behind our backs." Zhao Daying thanked the military attaches, and then looked meaningless.
said.
"Okay, what Brother Zhao said is good. You must give us an explanation today." Zhao Daying's words resonated with all the military attachés. They expressed their feelings and all agreed and supported him.
The ancients said: Civil and military officials are equally important to a dynasty. But it is different now. The status of military attachés is deteriorating. Even civilian officials with lower rankings than them are showing off their power in front of them.
There are too many examples like this: Military attachés bleed and work hard outside to win the battle and return to the court, only to be tricked to death by a few minor civil servants in the court.
These military attachés had long been unbalanced in their hearts. They supported Zhao Daying, not only because they were won over by Zhao Daying's money and favors, but also because of this.
Most of the military attaches in the Ming Dynasty were hereditary, and their ancestors had conquered the Ming Dynasty with their blood and lives. Not only that, it was not their military attaches who protected the Ming Dynasty and defended against foreign enemies.
Their ancestors have shed blood and sweat until now, so why are their status becoming worse than that of civil servants day by day? Why!!!
