In full view of everyone, just outside Chang'an City, he was kicked off his horse by the Jinyi Guards, then beaten severely, and dragged into Chang'an City.
This incident caused an uproar.
That is the head of the Chunyu family!
The existence that could compete with the emperor back then was actually dragged away like a dog by a few royal guards.
Public opinion was in an uproar.
…
"Mr. Lang, Chun Yudian was captured by Jin Yiwei."
Yang Xinxiang was feeding the birds, "Have you been caught?"
A group of sparrows were pecking at the corn he dropped in front of them, not afraid of people at all.
Yang Xinxiang clapped his hands, turned around and asked, "What crime?"
"Didn't say."
Sun Yan's face was stern, "Mr. Lang, if you can make Jin Yiwei take action, it must be Chun Yudian who wants to run away."
"When he left his two illegitimate children with me, I knew what he wanted to do. I had already sent more than a hundred people pretending to be horse thieves waiting in the middle of the road... Unexpectedly, the Jin Yiwei took action first."
"Mr. Lang, Chun Yu knows a lot about Yang."
"Especially those things about honoring the emperor back then." Yang Xinxiang said: "If the Jin Yiwei takes action, the Chun Yu family will definitely be doomed. If Chun Yu Dian is smart, he should know to keep it secret. Otherwise...his two illegitimate sons will not escape death!"
Sun Yan covered his forehead, "The head of a powerful family never lacks courage."
"Chun Yudian has the courage to die for his family!"
…
The emperor is reading the letter at the moment.
Huahua stood by and looked curiously at the swordsman lying next to the prince.
The prince was reading the memorial and did not dare to be distracted at all.
After a long time, the emperor put down the letter and said, "Then Chun Yudian must want to escape this time."
"Yes." Huahua said.
"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei and Zhi Jielong would like to see each other."
Jielong came in and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, the evidence of Chunyu's crime is solid, what should we do?"
The prince slowly raised his head and saw the emperor saying coldly:
"Search the house!"
…
The Jin Yiwei immediately dispatched in large numbers.
Concubine Li personally led the team and surrounded Chunyu's house.
The people inside refused to open the door, and some people could be heard shouting for formation.
"Break the door!" Li Fei said coldly.
The gate of Chunyu's house was heavy, but Liang Jing came with Jin Wuwei.
After the meeting, the emperor ordered Liang Jing to take over the Jinwu Guard, and everyone was shocked. Those who knew about it were filled with emotion, saying that the emperor knew people well and made good use of them.
Liang Jing was the leader of the evil young men back then, and the group that had the greatest influence on the security of Chang'an was the evil young men.
This is called fighting fire with fire.
"General Liang!" Concubine Li nodded slightly.
Not only did the emperor's women go out to do things, but they also didn't even wear them. The defenders were very sad about this. Several old officials even wrote memorials to persuade them.
But the emperor said: "You are pretending to be mysterious, don't you think you are not a human being if you wear it? What's wrong!"
have to!
If the emperor himself doesn't care, why should outsiders care?
This incident eventually ended with the anger of the defenders, but unexpectedly caused the women of Chang'an to follow suit.
In the early years, it was used by a generation of people in the northwest to protect themselves from wind and sand. After it was introduced to Chang'an, it became a tool for noble ladies to cover their faces.
No matter whether it is beautiful or ugly, putting it on immediately blocks the eyes of the outside world.
The men were satisfied, but the women were unhappy and said they felt uncomfortable.
Now that the emperor's woman is taking the lead, what are you waiting for?
A noble girl also learned to go out without wearing it. When she came back, the man was very dissatisfied. The couple had a quarrel. The woman said that His Majesty doesn't even care, so what do you care about?
This matter caused quite a stir and attracted the attention of the nobles of Chang'an.
Men are in favor of women continuing to wear them, but most women are against it.
Most of the women who agree are ugly or old.
Liang Jing cupped his hands and said, "I've met the empress." Then he turned around and said, "Pull me here."
A cart pulled by two horses slowly drove into the alley, and it turned out to be a log.
"Hit the wood! Okay!" Li Fei nodded approvingly, thinking that no wonder the emperor said that Liang Jing was smart. If he was put in charge of the Jinwu Guard, the security of Chang'an would improve quickly. Just looking at his response at the moment, you can see the emperor's discernment.
No difference.
The sergeants picked up the wood and rushed to the door.
!
!
!
boom!
The door was knocked open!
Inside, hundreds of people were arrayed with weapons.
"Fire the arrow!" General Liang chose the hidden weapon without hesitation.
A wave of arrows came in, and then the sergeants lined up with spears and charged...
People from Jin Yiwei were patrolling aside to block it.
The two sides cooperated and strangled the group of people in a tacit understanding.
Then the house was ransacked.
Someone from the Ministry of Revenue came, and it turned out to be Shangshu Cao Ying leading the team.
"I'll see what happens to these thieves!"
Cao Ying said with a smile, but then said: "The money is all valuable, if anyone keeps it privately..."
Liang Jingqi felt a chill go down his spine, "Hurry up and send the message. If anyone hides something secretly, his legs will be broken!"
Since taking charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Cao Ying has become a famous miser in Chang'an. It is said that even the emperor had to compete with him if he wanted to get money from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
A guard in brocade clothes came in, walked to Concubine Li, and whispered: "Chun Yudian will kill her without saying a word."
He Lianyan frowned, but Cao Ying said: "Every head of an aristocratic family has the belief that he will die for the family, otherwise he would not be able to pass it on for so many years."
Li Fei returned to Jinyiwei.
"Empress, we have already used the most severe punishment, but we are worried about killing him, so we are saving our strength." Jielong reported.
In the execution room, there were two guards in uniforms, one holding a spike and the other holding a hammer.
The spikes are for poking and drilling into the fingernails, while the hammer is for beating.
Chun Yudian's toenails had been flattened by a hammer, and every time he hit them, he would hear a miserable howl that didn't sound like a human being.
"He is a tough guy." Li Fei said.
The two royal guards stopped and saluted.
Chun Yudian gasped and said with a sad smile: "I know that the emperor will not leave any male members of the Chunyu family behind... The revenge of killing his father! They are irreconcilable. He will not destroy the Chunyu family and will have no face to see the filial emperor after his death. In this case
, then die!"
Concubine Li then entered the palace.
The emperor and the queen were playing chess. After hearing this, the queen said: "The heads of the aristocratic families have a first-class consciousness, no, they are proud. For this pride, they would rather die than surrender!"
The emperor held up a chess piece and said: "There must be someone in the palace who will cooperate."
"I have already detained the people who were left behind by Concubine Li. Yi Niang is investigating the matter," the queen said.
Concubine Li glanced at the queen, thinking that after the queen entered the palace, she seemed to be indifferent, as if she was doing nothing, but once she took action, it was called quick, accurate and ruthless.
The Zhou daughter is indeed extraordinary.
The torture continued, and the people in the palace were the first to speak.
"At first, someone was investigating the whereabouts of the late emperor, and then Concubine De blocked the road that the late emperor must pass through and talked to the late emperor for a while."
The person in charge of the investigation in the palace was Yi Niang, and the prince felt a burst of anger from her body.
"Concubine De said that His Majesty is not in good health and she is very worried. However, she once knew a prescription that might be helpful to His Majesty's condition..."
That old man is filial and will definitely take the bait.
"His Majesty asked her, and then Concubine De hesitated for a long time..."
Yi Niang said: "Concubine De saw the timing and exclaimed, Your Highness must not do this!"
The emperor looked up.
This was a well-designed trap. Those people had figured out the emperor's temperament and knew that he was filial, so they used Emperor Xuande's illness as a hook, and they really hooked him.
"Then..." Yi Niang said bitterly: "Concubine De deserves to die!"
But Concubine De has long since become a skeleton.
…
Ma Hongzhong entered Chang'an City again.
The reason was very simple. Maxi suddenly asked someone to bring him a message, saying that he was going to take the imperial examination this spring.
Originally, Ma Hongzhong was not very enthusiastic about his son's studies. Because the family had a big business, he wanted his son to come home and take over. But now most of the family's land has been sold, and the slaves have dispersed, leaving only the money and the house.
It's obviously not okay for my son to go home and just sit there and have nothing to do.
Ma Hongzhong was ready to start a business, but his deep-rooted attitude towards class made him not want his son to become a businessman.
Businessmen are despicable!
Businessmen are too profit-seeking!
This is the view of merchants throughout the ages.
The current emperor also once said these words: Rich merchants have no country.
This slap was slapped on the face of a wealthy businessman, but for ordinary businessmen, it was also disgraced.
After entering the city, he saw people on both sides of the street.
"What is this for?" Ma Hongzhong ordered his followers to find out.
After inquiring about the news, the entourage came back and said excitedly: "Alang, today we are going to deal with the Chunyu family!"
"Ah! It's today!"
Chunyu's eucalyptus caused an uproar in Guanzhong, and Ma Hongzhong also knew about it at home.
"It was Chunyu's method when Concubine De slandered the late emperor." Ma Hongzhong said with emotion: "Chunyu was so proud back then, but now he is so miserable. When you look back, remember to remind me to warn Da Lang, this person! Don't be rude.
Be content with what you have and always be happy. Don’t let your desires lead you away, otherwise, sooner or later, you will be in trouble.”
The Chunyu family had a huge population.
Men and women lined up in a row, with no end in sight.
"It was said that the men were beheaded and the women were all exiled."
The attendant's face turned red with excitement, and Ma Hongzhong asked, "Why are you such a naughty slave so happy?"
The follower blurted out, "Seeing the noble misfortune makes the villain involuntarily happy."
Ma Hongzhong kicked him and sighed for a long time before going to the Imperial College.
"Aye, why are you here?"
Maxi was in class and took leave.
"Yeah!" Ma Hongzhong looked at his son and said distressedly: "But the food in school is not good?"
"It's good! I've been practicing with them these days, so I've become a lot stronger."
"Really? That's a good thing." Ma Hongzhong squeezed his son's arm and said with satisfaction: "My father is here to ask you that your studies are not going to be as good as the imperial examination. Last time you also said that you would study in the Imperial College for one more year.
Why did you change your mind?"
Ma Xi said: "Someone told me a while ago that there may be some changes in the imperial examination this year, and asked me to go if I can participate."
"Who is that person?"
"A boy."
"Could it be that I'm coaxing you?"
"I saw that the professors were quite kind to him, and the way they looked at him was like looking at..." Ma Xi thought seriously, "It's like looking at his own nephew."
"How do you say this?" Ma Hongzhong was puzzled, "Is he the nephew of a certain professor?"
"Maybe!" Maxi said: "The young man said that if I can pass the imperial examination, someone will ask me to do something."
"Where to do things?"
"It's... over there!" Maxi said, pointing to the east.
"Isn't that the imperial city? Who among the scholars who passed the imperial examination can immediately enter the six departments?" Ma Hongzhong said: "That probably means that you will go to the east to become an official. Eastern Xinjiang! That place is desolate. Alas! My father is thinking, If that doesn’t work, you’d better go home!”
"What are you going home for?"
"If you go into business for your father, you will get married and just have children."
"Absolutely inappropriate!"
"Why is it wrong? Going to Eastern Xinjiang is a big trap!"
