Zhu Ju, wearing white clothes and red hair, with a thin and capable figure, walked out of the Kaifeng Mansion Prison.
The genes of Lao Zhu's family are very strong. Since Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone has been handsome and powerful, showing their righteousness.
At this moment, Zhu Xi, who was only wearing single clothes, looked even more handsome, with a jade face, starry eyes and sharp eyebrows.
Standing outside, Zhu Rui looked back at the prison where the cries and curses continued, with a slight smile on his face. If the young ladies by the Qinhuai River saw what he looked like now, they would probably throw away silk and flowers.
"What's the current situation in the city?" Zhu Ru crossed his hands and walked lightly outside the prison.
After being informed, the guards who came from Prince Zhou's Mansion to pick up the prince from prison immediately whispered: "The guards in Jinyi are arresting people in the city. Anyone who is illegal, anyone who does not respect the imperial court's policy of sharing the land with others, and anyone who is colluding with the inside and outside."
Communicate with each other, and anyone who has connections with the various bureaus in Henan Province will be within the scope of capture."
Zhu Ting raised his brows and chuckled twice: "Are we going to scare Kaifeng City? In this case, Henan Road will have a big backup plan ready."
The guards of Prince Zhou's Mansion shook their heads and looked at the crowd on the street outside the prison with vigilant eyes: "His Royal Highness Taisun had a meeting at Dusi Yamen yesterday, and then the officers and soldiers blocked the city gate. The Jinyi guards were in the city holding Taisun's teaching order and going around.
Apprehend criminals."
Zhu Ru looked at the street in front of him, and the Jin Yiwei wearing Feiyu uniforms passed by from time to time.
Groups of officers and soldiers escorted a dejected wealthy man to an open space in the west of Kaifeng City.
The White Tiger Lord kills the people in the west of the town, and most of the beheadings happen in the west of the city. If it is to intimidate, a notice will be given in advance and the people will gather to watch.
As soon as it got dark today, Kaifeng Mansion and Xiangfu County Yamen sent literate officers to various places in the city to inform the people that there would be beheadings in the west of the city today.
In Kaifeng city, those high-ranking families received meticulous care from the government offices. The six-room clerk of the county government office and the prefect government office personally brought people and official documents to the door to inform them, and explained in detail that they would be cut off.
Who are the people who were killed, and what crimes they committed were beheaded.
Households who were notified at the door showed a sincere and frightened attitude, brought out fruits and tea, and listened to the official announcements from the government offices with great piety.
Finally, the whole family came out respectfully and sent the clerks and clerks of the government yamen out of the house. They also expressed their great admiration and respect for the new bureaucracy of Henan Province, and said that everything must be done in the same way as the new bureaucracy.
The Yamen's ear-to-earth noodle orders are the key to jointly developing New Kaifeng and pushing Kaifeng City to a new historical height.
to noon.
The west of Kaifeng City is already overcrowded. Countless people are worried about the recent rebellion in Henan Province. They are afraid that Kaifeng City will also be invaded by rebels. Being able to watch the excitement today will naturally attract tens of thousands of people to go out.
The criminals involved in eucalyptus in Kaifeng City, who have been arrested by the Jinyi Guards and officers and soldiers since yesterday, are already kneeling behind the open space of the school grounds in the west of the city. Their number is as high as thousands. With Sansi Yamen and Taisun Xing in the official document, the three clans will be in
Later, he was questioned and arrested Hou Zhan.
In front of these people waiting to be killed, there are hundreds of individual empty seats.
On the execution platform, Henan Province Inspector Gao Guangguang, surrounded by government officials and guards, looked at the sun hanging high in the sky from time to time.
Not far away, on the corridor under the eaves of a two-story pavilion, Zhu Yunxi, accompanied by Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Shangbing, Pei Benzhi, Yu Ma, Tang Bi and others, stood on the corridor and looked at the prison campus in front of him. p>
"There are a total of 2,724 people involved in illegal activities in the city, and they have all been detained in the school grounds."
"There were originally 134 inmates in the Kaifeng Mansion Prison, and 174 inmates were subsequently returned. They are being escorted here from the prison by the Jinyi Guards."
Zhu Gaochi stood beside Zhu Yunxi with his hands raised, and whispered about the head that would be beheaded today.
Zhu Yunxi looked up at the sky: "Uncle Zhou Wang left the prison this morning, why haven't you come here yet?"
Zhu Shangbing, who single-handedly promoted today's beheading scene, took a step forward: "After Uncle Zhou got out of the prison, he went back to Prince Zhou's Mansion. Yesterday, the soldiers and horses from Prince Zhou's Mansion were withdrawn. Several aunts and brothers were
If there are any complaints, Uncle Zhou will probably go back first to appease them."
Zhu Yunxi's brows raised.
Zhu Shangbing coughed lightly: "Uncle Wang has been in prison for many days. According to the folk customs, he has to freshen up again."
Zhu Gaochi stood aside and couldn't help but roll his eyes at the ambiguous and profound remarks between the two people.
He turned to look at Yu Ma, the commander of the Henan Daodu capital behind him: "Yu Dusi, what we discussed before is about the military strategy submitted by Duke Liang. How is the Dusi Yamen doing now?"
Standing in front of the horse, he bowed and clasped his fists: "Back to the crown prince, the Dusi Yamen has written a letter to the troops and horses of each department, and also sent a letter to the Prince of Zhou's Palace to protect the Dusi, and informed the soldiers and horses of the military camps. The military camps have now prepared food, grass and equipment for the camp, and Kaifeng Mansion has a city full of soldiers and horses.
”
Zhu Gaochi nodded, turned around and looked at Zhu Yunxi who was just listening, and then continued: "The right guard of Yu Lin will start according to the plan today. He will first go out of the city to join the three guards of the Zhou Palace, and then hide outside the city, waiting for the army to leave.
Let’s pretend to be sheep and return to the city.”
Tang Bi on one side cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "I accept my order."
Being able to keep the Yulin right guard under his command made Tang Bi feel relaxed for a while. As long as he led the army and horses to guard the emperor's grandson, then all the rebels and rebels from all over Henan Province would arrive, and even
Even if Kaifeng City was broken open, he would have enough leeway to command the troops and horses to escort His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun to escape and join up with the imperial troops and horses on the periphery.
"Coming!"
An official in the hallway on the second floor looked at the corner of the street not far from the prison campus and let out a soft cry.
Everyone immediately focused their attention on it.
I saw escorted by many guards and officers and soldiers, all the prisoners who used to sit high in the yamen of Henan Province were walking on the street with their heads lowered, their faces gloomy, and their eyes gray.
The people on both sides of the street began to criticize each other.
There are no rotten eggs and rotten cabbage thrown out. These days, especially this year when the Liufu area on the south bank of the Yellow River was hit by disasters, it is impossible for the people to let the eggs rotten and the cabbage rotten.
On the street, Pan Boyong, the former inspector of Henan Province, was at the forefront.
The noisy crowd in his ears was so clear in his ears at this moment, as if everyone's condemnation turned into clear handwriting, appearing in front of his eyes.
At this moment, Pan Boyong was extremely envious of Zhou Rong, the former governor of Henan Province who had died early in the prefecture's Yamen. Zhou Rong threw himself into the sea of fire that night, but now it seemed so simple and happy.
By the time Pan Boyong was escorted into the prison and execution school grounds, two guards in uniform personally pressed him to the execution platform closest to the execution platform. During the last few steps, Pan Boyong could no longer walk, and his legs were feeling weak. p>
"Can you help me?"
Pan Boyong's throat made a sound that was not like a human voice.
The two Jin Yiwei had no expression on their faces. They just stretched out a hand and grabbed Pan Boyong's arms, almost dragging him to the stage.
"I, the official of the Henan Province, have been ordered to execute the criminal officials and criminals of Henan Province by the order of the imperial concubine."
"Officials in various government offices in Henan Province deceived superiors and deceived subordinates. They repeatedly violated the law. They committed countless crimes that are difficult to record. The crimes were committed by nine ethnic groups. Today, there are officials and people who have committed crimes, and they have signed and painted confessions of crimes."
"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, executions and decisions were made to calm the hearts of the people in Henan Province and to determine the Ming Dynasty."
On the prison execution platform, Gao Gaoguang held in his hand the imperial edict stamped with the imperial seal bestowed upon the emperor Taisun, and read it out in front of the offending officials, prisoners and the onlookers.
Then, look up at the sky above the light and measure the time by observing the sun.
There are also officials on the side watching the sundial.
At three quarters of noon, the official stepped forward lightly and reached behind Gao Guangguang: "According to the envoy, the time has come."
Gao Gaoguang's eyes flashed immediately and he straightened his robes: "It's three quarters past noon, let's kill him immediately!"
Winter.
The token was pulled out of Mudu by Gao Guang and thrown under the prison platform.
"Cut!"
An executioner with naked arms and chest, wrapped in red cloth, holding a red tasseled sword, filled his mouth with strong liquor and sprayed it on the blade.
The sword flashes everywhere.
In an instant, red light shone in the west prison of Kaifeng City, and muffled sounds of winter and winter came one after another.
Around the school grounds, the onlookers burst into low cheers, children cried, old women wailed, and the adults clapped and cheered.
】
The wind came from afar and swept into the school grounds.
The strong smell of blood that filled people's nostrils seemed to envelope half of Kaifeng City in an instant.
The executioners moved from the execution platform to the edge of the execution school grounds with knives and slashes.
Thousands of human heads fell to the ground, and thousands of headless corpses collapsed on the ground.
Si Yamen, the inspector-general, personally invited to the inspection and beheading school grounds. The wealthy families in Kaifeng City who had not been in the scope of the inspection and execution were placed in the best viewing area. Looking at the heads and the blood flowing in the inspection and beheading school grounds, one after another
I held my breath and felt like I was walking into the school grounds.
From three quarters to noon, until the executioners wielded their knives until their arms became numb. Under the gaze of the onlookers, the blood soaked the ground of the prison campus and dyed everything in people's sight red.
Even at noon, when the Yang Qi is at its strongest, people can't help but feel cold all over. The scarlet blood in front of them seems to have dyed the entire Bianliang City red.
When the people's minds were blank, they dispersed under the urging of the officers and soldiers.
The surviving wealthy families in Kaifeng City suddenly reacted.
They scrambled for a way out, like a school of frightened fish in the sea, and swarmed to the open space under the corridor in front of the two-story building.
"We will pay homage to His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson of the Prison Kingdom."
Zhu Yunxi, who was surrounded by many officials in the corridor on the second floor, silently lowered his head and looked down at the Kaifeng City people downstairs.
These wealthy people in Kaifeng who had never been beheaded on the school field today were like frightened quails huddled in a ball in the corner of the cage. Fearful, uneasy, and not knowing what would happen next moment.
It was quiet upstairs and downstairs.
Gao Guang, who had finished his errands from the Jianzhan Campus and led the people over, fell behind and saw the scene. He stopped slowly and stood in the distance silently watching the corridor on the second floor.
Pei Benzhi glanced downstairs for a few times, then cupped his fists and said softly: "Your Highness, the Chief Envoy Si Yamen should inform Yingtian about today's events. I wonder if Your Highness has any message."
Pei Benzhi specially emphasized the last two words "Message".
The surviving families of Kaifeng Mansion gathered together downstairs in the corridor, and those who could speak carefully raised their heads and looked at the corridor on the second floor.
"Nowadays, there is a rebellion in Henan Province. Although the grassroots and other families do not have thousands of acres of fertile land and tens of thousands of property, they are still willing to do their best to help the government and government put down the rebellion in Henan Province."
"Today, the imperial court killed the offending officials in Henan Province and reformed the old. Since then, the Sansi Yamen have been working hard to govern. Although the common people are living in the grassy countryside, they also know the laws and regulations of the court and must ask the government Yamen about everything, so as to create peace and prosperity in Henan Province.
”
The quails downstairs once again showed their thoughts and attitudes.
Zhu Yunxi tapped his fingers lightly on the railing twice, and his chuckles spread from upstairs to downstairs, reaching the ears of those people.
When these surviving Kaifeng Mansion residents raised their heads again, the corridor on the second floor had already been deserted.
When everyone was at a loss as to what would happen to the surviving families, a new official of the Chief Envoy Si Yamen wearing a green robe had already walked out of the building and approached these people.
.
"The chief envoy Si Yamen will supervise the families, monks, and servants of all households in Kaifeng City, and transfer them to the commanding envoy Si Yamen to train and guard Kaifeng City together."
"Instructor, every household in Kaifeng City opens a warehouse to donate grain to feed the people in the city, as well as the army and horses."
"Inspection order, each household should report the full number of acres of land under the household, without any errors or omissions, and register it at the Chief Envoy's Yamen."
After the green-robed official finished delivering the message, he walked out of the courtyard in front of these people.
And those who can be said to be the 'survivors' of Kaifeng City are scrambling to rush out of the courtyard again, rush home first, and be the first to finish the matters handed down by the Chief Envoy Si Yamen.
.
No one wants to be the unlucky guy who was killed and separated in the school grounds today.
In the court hall of the Chief Envoy Si Yamen, Pei Benzhi held a report compiled by the Yamen officials and sent it to Zhu Yunxi.
"Your Highness, this is what happened in Kaifeng City today. The chief envoy Si Yamen has compiled a summary. If your Highness reviews it correctly, I will send it to Yingtian with a confession signed and signed by the offending officials and prisoners.
."
Zhu Yunxi just lowered his head and glanced at the inscriptions and postscripts on the memorial.
Henan Dao respectfully invites Shang Xiaozhan to decide the matter.
This is a post-mortem apology that is executed first and then reported later. It must also explain the causes and consequences of why these things happened in Kaifeng City today.
Not very pretty.
Zhu Yunxi took out a finger and played the memorial.
"Let's wait and see. The rest depends on whether the situation in Henan Province will be as we imagined."
Pei Benzhi reached out lightly and took back the memorial: "Yu Dusi personally showed his flag and led the troops out of the city before. The Kaifeng Mansion has urged the people in the city to train their servants and servants, and together with the officers of each division's yamen, block the city gates and guard the city walls.
."
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly.
"Then let's sit on the top of the city and watch."
……
Yingtian City.
Over the past few days, the atmosphere has been extremely depressing.
It seems that even the sky above the city has been pulled down a lot, pressing on the top of Yingtian City and on everyone's hearts.
As soon as the officials left their homes and walked on the road, they did not even dare to show their anger.
The quiet Dongcheng government office area looks like a dead city.
Office of the Ministry of Personnel, Office of the Wenxuan Company.
The original director of the Selection Department has been transferred to the post of director of the Examination Department, and the vacancy left was filled by a new member of the court who had only served as the eighth-rank governor of the General Affairs Office for less than half a year.
Bai Yuxiu, who had finally been upgraded from a green-headed fly to a green-robed grasshopper, walked into the official office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and entered the office of the Wenxuan Company, shaking her head with helplessness on her face.
It has been several days, and I still habitually leave the house and walk to the General Affairs Office Si Yamen.
"Master Bai!"
"Mr. Bai, it's early!"
When Bai Yuxiu walked into the public room, the subordinate officials of the Literature and Selection Department who had arrived early had already stood up one after another with smiles on their faces.
Don't look at this young man. He has been in officialdom for less than half a year, but he met His Majesty in the palace.
And now, the position of doctor in the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been vacant for a long time!
Jane is in the emperor's heart!
Someone even brought a kettle and brewed a new cup of tea for Bai Yuxiu after saying hello.
Bai Yuxiu cupped her hands towards everyone: "Everyone, please sit down. You are all seniors. We don't need to do this kind of false courtesy in the future."
The officials under the Literary and Selected Affairs Department smiled silently in agreement, but what they should do would not change just because of the words of the young chief.
Bai Yuxiu sat down and looked at the documents that had been arranged on his desk. He raised his head and looked at everyone: "Henan Province has sent a memorial to ask for replacement officials, so that the Central Plains government office will be the emperor's guardian. This matter is now
But have you chosen the candidate yet?"
The public room fell into silence for a short time.
Henan Road is now a pit, and whoever touches it will die.
Why Yingtian City has become like this in the past few days is not because of Henan Road. Even the emperor's grandson went to Henan Road, and now he has been listed in the Wanmin Book, begging to be abolished.
Regarding this matter, I only heard that the Crown Prince was furious in the Huagai Palace that day, and the officials of the six departments, five temples and three Dharma divisions who participated in the court meeting were rumored to be sprayed with blood.
It's just that no one knows how this matter will be settled. It is precisely because of this that in the past few days, there seems to be a sharp butcher's knife hanging over Yingtian City, and everyone feels that this knife will definitely fall.
That moment.
It’s just unclear who it will fall on.
The official who opened the department under the Literary and Selection Department stood up, looked at his colleagues on the left and right, and finally turned to Bai Yuxiu and said: "Sir, the selection and appointment of officials in Henan Province has always been a top priority in the Department. It's just...
...The current situation in Henan Province makes it really difficult for lower-level officials and others to select suitable candidate candidates for all official vacancies..."
The establishment of subjects is one of the many departments under the jurisdiction of the Department of Literature and Art, and the person in charge has the power to select officials and appoint them to various departments.
Bai Yuxiu frowned. Among the many departments under the jurisdiction of the Department of Literature and Art, the one specializing in virtuous people has the most authority to open departments.
Bai Yuxiu knew very well that even if she had met His Majesty, no one knew how much respect these people had for her, a newcomer who was less than half a year old.
.
After being pushed away by the person who opened the course, Bai Yuxiu could only open her mouth and nod helplessly.
At this time.
There was a heavy and loud sound of footsteps in the official office.
This is something unusual in recent days.
When Bai Yuxiu opened her eyes and looked outside the office, she saw a group of officers and soldiers had already rushed into the office of the Wenxuan Company.
They are people from Jinyiwei and people from Ouchi pro-army!
Before Bai Yuxiu could speak, one of the Jinyi guards looked at him.
The chief flag officer of Jin Yiwei raised his hand to Bai Yuxiu and said, "Mr. Bai, today we are ordered by the emperor to come to the Ministry of Personnel to apprehend those involved in the crime."
The commander-in-chief did not say who he wanted to arrest, and because of the circumstances involved.
After saying this, the flag officer waved his hand.
The officers and soldiers behind him swarmed forward.
Bai Yuxiu immediately stood up with a frown on her face and looked at the Chief Flag Officer of Jinyiwei with a solemn face: "Everyone, wait a minute!"
