In an alley not far from General Jianwei's Mansion, a group of Jinyi guards also visited the residence of Zhao Qiu, the former left minister of the Ministry of War, and handed a piece of official document into Zhao Qiu's hands.
"As a minister, Zhao Qiu, the left minister of the Ministry of War, not only did not blame his nephew for taking advantage of the merits, but instead covered up everything, deceived the superiors, and had no ministerial integrity. He was arrested by guards in brocade robes, reduced his position to the people, and set up a imperial staff outside the Meridian Gate to serve as a warning to others."
Zhao Qiu took the official document and glanced at it, his head buzzed. After reading it once, veins appeared on his face. He stared at the official document angrily and read it carefully again.
"Oh well……"
A few seconds later, Zhao Qiu laughed angrily, his voice sounding like he was coming from under the Nine Netherworld, and he threw the official document on the table.
"Sir Zhao, I am also acting under orders, and I have offended you." Jin Yiwei Qianhu walked up to Zhao Qiu and said with cupped hands.
soon
Zhao Qiu, the former left minister of the Ministry of War, was kidnapped by the Jinyi guards and taken outside the Meridian Gate.
Such a scene has happened in the homes of Zhang Xiche, the chief official of the Qing Dynasty Department of the Ministry of War and Treasury, Zhao Guangming, and Wang Dalu.
"After investigation, it was found that Zhang Xiche, a doctor in the Qing Li Department of the Ministry of War and Treasury, and Zhao Guangming and Wang Dalu, in charge, abused their power, neglected their duties, regarded the law and discipline as child's play, and from now on they have reduced their positions to serve the people. The imperial staff will be posted outside the Meridian Gate as a warning to others."
The Jin Yiwei also read the official document in front of them, and then took them to the Meridian Gate to execute the imperial staff as ordered.
"It's unjust, it's unjust. It's all Shilang Zhao who forced me to be a subordinate. I have no choice but to be a subordinate."
"I regret it, I regret it!"
"Zhao thief mistaken me!"
For a time, mourning was everywhere in these people's houses. Zhang Xiche, Zhao Guangming, Wang Dalu and others were either crying out for injustice, regretting, or cursing. Of course, no matter what, it was too late for them, and they were all bound to be kidnapped one by one by the Jin Yiwei.
Arrived outside the Meridian Gate.
Forbidden City, outside the Meridian Gate.
Several eunuchs who were responsible for the execution were already in place. The leader was a middle-aged eunuch with a white face and no beard. He was from the ceremonial supervisor of the inner court of the Ming Dynasty. He was sitting behind a few cases under the steps on the west side of the Meridian Gate, with the toes of his boots turned outward.
Figure eight. Standing behind the middle-aged eunuch are dozens of young eunuchs.
Thirty well-dressed and armored guards lined up left and right, holding wooden sticks in their hands.
The wooden sticks in their hands are not ordinary wooden sticks. They are all made of century-old chestnut wood. One end is shaved into a mallet shape, and the outside is wrapped with iron sheets. The iron sheets are also wrapped with undercut iron hoops, and there are mottled ones on them.
The blood stains looked very hideous.
There were nearly a hundred famous school captains outside the Meridian Gate, and they all shouted slogans. The executioners were Jin Yiwei, who were responsible for shouting loudly to convey the orders of the eunuchs in charge of rituals, and shouting loudly at the execution in Jinyiwei to build momentum.
At this time, there was also an official document, which was being sent to Yunmeng County a hundred miles away by Tiqi, sending an unexpected "surprise" to Yunmeng County Magistrate a hundred miles away: Ding Wei, the Magistrate of Yunmeng County, is one of the parents, and he doesn't want to
Making decisions for the people, and convicting his old friends, causing the people who avenged their grievances to be unjustly imprisoned, and even ordered the fifty-nine people in Lijia Village under his rule to die with their eyes open. Their crimes are irredeemable. From now on, they will be reduced from their posts to the people, and they will be exiled to the south of the smog. All their property will be paid.
The people of Lijia Village were wronged.
Zhao Qiu and others were kidnapped to a designated location outside the Meridian Gate. They lay face down on the ground, lifted up their shirts, and took off their pants.
"Put the stick."
The eunuch in charge of rituals held the official document in his hand. After reading it out, he stood on the spot with his toes pointed out and gave a calm order.
Nearly a hundred famous captains shouted in agreement: "Put down the stick!"
The guard in charge of the execution glanced at the eunuch's posture without leaving any trace, and after understanding the situation, he walked out of the queue with the imperial staff, came to Zhao Qiu and others, and placed the imperial staff on the thighs of Zhao Qiu and others.
"Beat." The eunuch in charge of rituals ordered again.
"Hit!!!" Nearly a hundred captains shouted with great authority. For a moment, thunder was heard outside the Meridian Gate, making people tremble.
Upon hearing the execution, the Jin Yiwei raised the imperial staff in his hand high into the sky, and then dropped it heavily. In an instant, a blood-red flower bloomed on his buttocks and legs.
"ah!!!"
There was a scream outside the Meridian Gate that reached into the sky.
"ah"
When Zhao Qiu and others were tied to the Meridian Gate, Linhuai Marquis Mansion heard a sound coming from the Yuxuan, and the cicadas outside the courtyard were shocked to silence by this voice.
Zhu Ping'an, who had finished bathing and changing clothes, washing his hands and burning incense, was currently looking at the official document with gritted teeth. It seemed that he was the one who shouted just now.
"Why, why"
Zhu Pingan held the official document, pointed at a line of words in the official document, and muttered through gritted teeth. The line of the official document under Zhu Pingan was as follows: For merits and punishments, Zhu Pingan, who is a student of the Hanlin Academy, will be fined for one year.
"As for that, I was shocked."
Li Shu rolled her cute eyes, her eyes as clear as crystals soaked in water, her red lips slightly pursed, and she let out a sweet cry.
"As for what? Uh, wait, have you already read this official document?"
After Zhu Ping'an said half a sentence, he suddenly paused and heard the hidden meaning in Li Shu's words. He couldn't help but look up at Li Shu.
As for what, the subtext of these three words is clearly that Li Shu knew the contents of the official document, otherwise how could he use these three words to evaluate. Only after reading the contents of the memorial can he say these three words.
"Yeah, just while you are taking a bath."
Li Shu blinked her watery eyes, nodded her head calmly, smiled sweetly, and raised her lips in a charming arc.
"Why don't you take a shower, change clothes, wash your hands and burn incense?" Zhu Pingan had a black line on his face.
"I had a bath in the morning. I changed clothes, washed my hands and burned incense quickly. There was nothing going on, so I took a look at it for you first." Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an with a virtuous look, with two small dimples looming on her pretty face.
, delicate, pretty and seductive.
This goblin.
Zhu Ping'an was speechless.
"Isn't it just a year's salary penalty?" Li Shu curled her lips indifferently.
Isn't that what you call easy? Zhu Ping'an shook his head speechlessly. He was fined for a year. He had to work for the court for a whole year for free. He worked early and late for a year and didn't have a penny at the end of the year. A melody came to his mind inexplicably: I
No matter what grudge I have against you, you won’t even give me a hundred yuan. My necklace costs more than two thousand yuan.
When you are an official in the court, you don't have to give gifts to your leaders, but how can you avoid following the gifts and others in favors?
It seems that making money has to be put on the agenda. I don’t want to be a free-spirited pretty boy.
"Besides, I would also like to congratulate my husband for joining the cabinet." Li Shu came to Zhu Ping'an delicately, blinked her watery eyes, and cupped her delicate white jade hands like a man's, and said delicately.
"I'm just a cabinet secretary, Zhilang. He's not even in the cabinet. I just serve tea and run errands for the cabinet boss." Zhu Ping'an shook his head speechlessly and said with a bitter smile.
