Chapter 38
The Great Han General of the Jinyiwei rushed Ye Xiaotian to Zuoshun Gate. Before he reached the door, he found that many officials Xu Shi surrounded the door. The Great Han General could not help but be stunned. Such a scene was rare. When Sandezi saw it, he hurried forward: "Oh! Dear sirs, what's wrong?"
An Feian, the official of the Ministry of Personnel, turned his head and looked at it, recognized him as his eldest companion, and hurriedly said, "Oh, Yushi Liu is in the palace and is pleading with the emperor."
Sandezi frowned, but although he was the great companion in front of the emperor, he did not have the majesty of Feng Bao and did not dare to scold him. At this time, he had already seen Liu Hengyi kneeling there and crying. Liu Huanyi was talking to the onlookers in grief and anger, snot and tears, because he was too devoted, he did not notice his arrival at all.
Sandezi sighed secretly. Not only the emperor was afraid of these censors who would not let go of others, but all the officials were afraid. In fact, their eunuchs were also quite disgusted, so they had to pretend not to see it, and only said politely to An Fei'an: "I would like to ask you to give me a gift. Our family will receive the imperial edict and use a court stick!"
"yeah?"
The censor Liu, who was very dedicated, suddenly heard the word "Criminal Staff" that was too sensitive. He had been a censor all his life and dreamed of being able to get a court stick in his lifetime. Unfortunately... the court stick is not that easy to get. Although later generations have made the court sticks of the Ming Dynasty very powerful, there were not many times when the emperors of the Ming Dynasty really used it.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the word "Court Staff". Yushi Liu stopped crying and did not care about saying "Blood and Tears" to the onlookers. He stared at him with wide eyes, wondering which lucky man had the chance to get the famous court stick in an instant.
Ye Xiaotian was handcuffed and shackled by the Great General of the Jinyiwei. The officials stood aside and continued to watch. The imperial edicts wiped their tears and stood up temporarily. He stopped crying and stretched his neck and joined the onlookers.
Sixteen generals of the Han Dynasty were eight on the left and eight on the right. They stood outside the door of the left and shutter in the shape of a geese. Eight eunuchs in the guise of the guise of the guise of the guise of the guise of Sandezi in the shape of a guise of the guise of the guise of Sandezi. Xu Boyi stood at the end of the right wing with a sinister smile on his face, lowering his head slightly, his eyes pressed against the big hat with a rolled brim, staring coldly at Ye Xiaotian who was pressed to the ground.
Sandezi stood up solemnly and proclaimed loudly: "Ye Xiaotian looked at the king and spoke lies. He followed the sages and immediately beat twenty big sticks. The Han general was executed!"
The great general of the Jinyiwei sang aloud. The four great men skillfully extended their big sticks and pressed Ye Xiaotian's head and legs across. Two other great men walked up with dark red torture sticks.
Liu Hengyi suddenly shook when he heard the three words "Ye Xiaotian". Just now, the Tongzhengsi Youtong political party Tenghui told him that the woman's fiancé who the emperor loved was the chief officer of the Chief Woniu, Guizhou. His surname was Ye and his name was Xiaotian. There was no doubt that he was the person in front of him.
Ye Xiaotian clenched his teeth and waited for the court stick to fall on his body. He had heard of the court stick. During the Jiajing period, in order to make the emperor recognize Zhengde's father as his biological father, the emperor and civil officials fought for three years. Finally, the civil and military officials gathered together in Zuoshunmen and cried. It was like forcing the palace. Emperor Jiajing could no longer bear it and used a killing weapon "court stick".
In that storm, 142 officials below the fifth rank were imprisoned, 86 officials above the fourth rank were suspended, and 16 people died of court poach. The next day, no officials opposed the discussion of etiquette, and Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcong won. In this struggle, whether to let Emperor Jiajing change the Taoist tradition of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty was just an appearance. The essence of the real struggle was the emperor and the civil servant group headed by Yang Tinghe for the right to speak.
In that contest, the determined Emperor Jiajing won. However, during the Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty, all officials cried in front of Wenhua Gate and controversed with the emperor about the funeral ceremony of Empress Dowager Ciyi. However, Emperor Xianzong was convinced. Either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind. In general, since Yongle, most civil servant groups had the upper hand. Although most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty had a very unique personality, they still had to pinch their noses and admit defeat when facing the civil servant groups that were too big.
Two dark red court sticks were raised high in the air. The Han general shouted and the court sticks slashed heavily. They had seen the sign of Sandezi. The court sticks were divided into "beat with heart" and "beat with truth". As for the method of fighting, the prison officer decided according to the emperor's wishes.
If the toes of the prison officer open their toes, it will be "real" and may lead to disability. If the toes of the prison officer close their toes, it will be "strike them with care", and the minister who is sentenced will undoubtedly die. Sandezi's toes are closed at this moment, and the general of the Han Dynasty knew that the emperor wanted Ye Xiaotian to die.
"Bang!"
"ah!"
"Bang!"
“Ah~”
Two heavy sticks, two screams, the first one was relatively short, and the second one was filled with a tremolo. Ye Xiaotian stared at the shock and turned his head. He didn't feel any pain at all, because there was a person lying on his body, and both heavy sticks hit the man.
The two great Han generals were shocked and held the sticks, but they didn't respond for a while. When they raised their big sticks and pulled them down heavily, Yushi Liu suddenly rushed out of the crowd. A hungry dog slapped on Ye Xiaotian and slapped two heavy sticks on his butt. The skin was blooming, and the bright red blood quickly dyed his clothes red.
"You... are not allowed to touch him! They are not allowed to touch him!"
As he wished, Censor Liu was beaten by a court stick. Although he was accidentally injured, the effect was far less than that of the emperor who directly ordered him to beat him, it was also a court stick. After all, it was a court stick. In the future, he would be a qualification for showing off.
Ye Xiaotian looked at the old man with a white beard in shock and trembling with pain, and his heart was confused: "Why is this old man protecting me like this? Could it be that he wants to stage a bloody drama of "Child, I am your biological father"?"
Censor Liu shouted loudly: "Everyone! This person is what we just mentioned Ye Xiaotian! The emperor is not going to punish illegal things. It is clearly for public use and private use. He intends to kill him! Oh, it hurts so much! It hurts..."
An Feian and others hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but Yushi Liu was lying on Ye Xiaotian and refused to get up: "No! Dear colleagues, colleagues, you must protect Ye Xiaotian and stop the emperor! If Ye Xiaotian has a few shortcomings, it will be a shame for the country! It is a shame for the emperor! It is a shame for our ministers!"
Censor Liu was shouting loudly, and suddenly there was a clamor in the distance. When everyone heard the sound, they saw a large number of dark blue official robes floating in, all of them were censors wearing green robes. The Censor General exploded!
Almost every man has the complex of hero saving beauty. Each of these censors who have always regarded themselves as messengers of justice has had such fantasies. Now, everything they do can satisfy their former fantasy of hero saving beauty, and also meet their mission as censors. How can they not respond in groups?
The person who rushed to the front was Li Boxian. While walking, Li Boxian raised his arms and shouted, "What he called out was not a slogan, but a "battle manifesto" that was uttered in a slogan:
"The king is the lord of all subjects and all things in the world. However, he is the lord of all subjects and all things in the world, and the responsibility is the most important. The world is the family of Your Majesty. No one cares about his family. The subjects and all the people in the world are the relatives of Your Majesty. No one does not love his relatives. Now Your Majesty destroys the law of his ancestors, which is to destroy his family. He uses national weapons for personal use and is to be greedy for women and imposes his ministers and work, which is to harm his relatives!"
Li Boxian's voice was bright and he shouted loudly. Suddenly, he saw the situation in front of Zuo Shun's door at first sight. He was stunned. Yushi Liu was...
Liu Hengyi struggled to support himself and said loudly: "The colleagues are here just right! Brother Boxian is here just right! Your Majesty plans to his wife and wants to kill his husband. Fortunately, he is protected by me! How can your Majesty act like this be different from the king of Jie and Zhou? How can our ministers sit and watch? We must have ambitions to correct the king's way!"
Liu Hengyi stole Li Boxian's first merit and felt a little ashamed. Fortunately, when he arrived at Zuoshun Gate, Ye Xiaotian was taken out to be beaten. He stepped forward to stop him and seized the best opportunity to get two sticks for Ye Xiaotian. In this way, there is no need to steal Li Boxian's merit.
So, he shouted first, implying that this song was still the result of Li Boxian. However, he got a step first and saved Ye Xiaotian, who was about to be killed by the emperor, and this major event that has been famous in history cannot be avoided by him. If you seek a name and get a great wish, you don’t have to be so clear about it.
Only then did Li Boxian realize that he was the first to take the lead. Fortunately, the old censor Liu was also tactful. He had been beaten by the court and saved Ye Xiaotian, who was about to be persecuted by the emperor, had already made great contributions and returned the merits of the promo. Li Boxian also responded quickly and immediately responded to Liu Hengyi's words:
"Everyone, you all saw it? How could the emperor do this? How could he be a foolish monarch? I will be able to get the position of a corpse and sit still and ignore it, be loyal and angry, and not avoid the cauldron, so that I can correct the king's way, understand the minister's duties, and seek the rule of all ages! Today, outside the Zuoshun Gate, I will bend the palace to ask the emperor to repent for his sins!"
All the censors responded one after another: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to repent of my mistakes!"
Some civil servants with a strong sense of justice also joined in, and shouted indignation.
Xu Boyi was a little nervous when he saw the group of officials Bi Ji. He was nervous, worried that so many officials would bow to the palace to protest, and the emperor would give in and let Ye Xiaotian escape again. But what happened immediately surprised him. The emperor's great companion, San Dezi, and the third father-in-law, actually ran away!
When Sandezi saw the Censor Liu lying on the ground, his bloody butt was raised, as if he was shaking a fighting red flag, he accused him resentfully and proudly. Li Boxian led the censors with a strong fighting spirit with an excited look on his face, and he slipped away. Not only he ran away, but all the eunuchs and the great generals of the Jinyiwei guards ran away.
"This...this..."
Xu Boyi didn't understand what was going on. Fortunately, there was an acquaintance among the group of big men, General Xiong Wei. General Xiong ran to him and shouted in a hurry: "What are you still standing there? Run!"
Xu Boyi was so angry that he trembled all over: It’s okay for the eunuchs to run away, you are soldiers, why are you running away? Facing a group of unarmed scholars, you were all wearing armor and swords, and you were embarrassed to escape? There was no courage. If you were asked to protect the Acropolis, wouldn’t you all have to surrender?
Xu Boyi entered the palace halfway, did not recognize his godfather, lacked guidance, and was promoted like a rocket, so he didn't know that there was a very special rule here at Zuoshunmen, that is: civil servants kill people here and don't deserve their lives. This is the only place in the territory of the Ming Dynasty that can kill people without their lives.
Zuoshun Sect was originally an ordinary palace gate, and there was no immunity for the death penalty. However, in the 14th year of Zhengtong of the Ming Dynasty, civil servants beat three people to death here. From then on, a special provision that was not recorded in the code was established here: "Civil servants beat people to death here, and they are not guilty!"
This privilege was facilitated by Wang Zhen, the eunuch of Yingzong. Wang Zhen bewitched the emperor's personal expedition, but in the battle of Tumu Fort, the Ming Dynasty was greatly damaged and Yingzong was captured. The empress dowager issued an edict to make Yingzong's eldest son Zhu Jianshen the crown prince. Zhu Jianshen was only two years old at that time, so he appointed Yingzong's younger brother Zhu Qiyu to act as the state affairs.
At that time, all the civil and military officials of the court wrote a letter to ask for the killing of Wang Zhen and his gang. King Hui did not dare to make a decision and asked the ministers to leave the palace and wait for the order. The ministers were disappointed and hurried at Zuoshun Gate and asked for an immediate edict. Wang Zhen's best friend Jinyiwei commander Ma Shun wanted to drive everyone out of the palace, which angered the ministers. The ministers rushed forward and beat Ma Shun and his two confidants to death.
The Jinyiwei, who was alert to the palace gate, was furious and rushed forward fiercely to avenge their superiors. If these Jinyiwei really took action, none of the ministers present would be spared. At the critical moment, Yu Qian rushed to King Hui and suggested, "Please declare all officials that Ma Shun's crimes should be killed, and the person who beat Ma Shun to death will be innocent."
After hearing his words, King Hui loudly announced that the Jinyiwei did not dare to take action. A tragedy of the bloody palace gate disappeared invisible. From then on, Zuoshun Gate had a rule that even the Ministry of Justice had agreed to: ministers beat people to death in this place, but they would not be investigated according to the previous example.
The father-in-law and the Han generals ran away, and Xu Boyi was one step late, so he was tragic. Seeing that the butt of the Censor Liu was blooming, the civil servants were angry. When they saw that this was against a eunuch and had not escaped, they rushed forward and surrounded him in a flash...
