The first thousand and thirty-six chapters of the tour distribution
The father-in-law Zhou Kui was sent to the army for three thousand miles, which shocked the government and the people. The emperor was serious and did not even let his grandfather go, so all the ministers became afraid.
Many people in the capital were also in a mood to watch the excitement. They wanted to see how this father-in-law, who was usually arrogant, became a prisoner. After all, it was the biological father of the empress dowager and the emperor's biological grandfather. It was also a topic of discussion to see the father-in-law parade with shackles.
To disappoint these good people, Zhou Kui was taken out of the imperial prison and was escorted to a carriage. At dawn, while the streets were sparsely populated, Zhou Kui was sent out of the city gate. On the carriage, his servant Liu Fu was also on it.
Liufu was quite loyal. As soon as he saw Zhou Kui, he cried out with a "Wow!": "Master, you are fine. Wuwuwu, it's so scary."
After experiencing such a great disaster of life and death, Zhou Kui became much more calm. He looked at Liufu in a daze, and then he became a little more awake: "Liufu, is it you?"
Liu Fu nodded while wiping his tears: "It's me, the master is me."
Zhou Kui said "Oh": "That's good, Liufu, where are we?"
Liufu poked his head out: "Official, we're there."
These two were criminals of the imperial court. Even if you were once a noble father-in-law, you have now become a prisoner. Who knew that the officials who escorted them were extremely respectful.
An official sent a horse to the carriage and bowed to Liufu: "You are polite, I am ordering to escort my father-in-law. But my father-in-law has his orders, and all villains will obey."
Liu Fu nodded and gave the other party a kind smile. Then he retracted his head back into the carriage: "Master, these policemen are very polite to us. I think we will finally have some care along the way."
Zhou Kui could already hear clearly in the carriage, so he immediately started to sway again: "Stop, stop!"
Liufu had to poke his head out again: "Jun Ye, this Jun Ye, stop the car."
"Wow!" The official magistrate hurriedly stopped his horse, then held his fist respectfully at Liufu: "This young master, don't call him a villain or an official again. This is a villain who can't afford it."
Liu Fu became happier: "Master, look, the carriage has stopped."
After the carriage stopped, Zhou Kui lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage: "Since I am a serious offender in the court, why don't I put shackles on me? I won't ride in the carriage, I will carry shackles to be sent to the army!"
It is false to say that there is no complaint, Zhou Kui feels very wronged. Why is his dignified father-in-law and daughter the current empress dowager. This grandson and emperor are not a thing anymore. A scholar can be killed and not humiliated.
The Ming Dynasty was shaking and almost destroyed the country. Who took out two million taels of silver? It was the money you, the good grandson, cheated from me. Later, Zhu Cixuan even fooled Zhou Kui and said that he would invest in the construction of Xishan Glass Factory.
Zhou Kui naturally flocked to him and worked day and night in Xishan. As a result, the glass factory in Xishan earned money every day, but Zhou Kui had not seen any dividends yet. Zhu Cixuan agreed well, and the original plan was to pay a dividend every year.
Not to mention anything else, even if it is one percent of the profits of Xishan Glass Factory every year, Zhou Kui can become the richest man in Beijing. But Zhu Cilang never mentioned this little money again.
Zhou Kui was very angry and once went to the palace to cry to his daughter. The Empress Dowager Zhou scolded him at that time, saying that since you have been a father-in-law and enjoyed all your wealth and glory, how could you still be greedy for these external things?
After being complained about his daughter, Zhou Kui became increasingly unbalanced. So, he couldn't help but get sugar-coated shells, and the monk's meal supervisor colluded.
With the fall of the Shangshen Supervisor Chen Degui, Zhou Kui was also implicated. What a shame and humiliation that the current father-in-law was exiled to the army, especially with one sword.
When Zhou Kui heard the conversation between Ding Liufu and the official cadre, he already understood that he was so respectful to them by his army and exiled to the official cadre. Eighty percent of it was his good daughter, Empress Dowager Zhou, who came forward to say hello, or even Chongzhen came forward to come forward.
Otherwise, prisoners like Zhou Kui would have to suffer all the hardships along the way.
Zhou Kui had to take shackles to serve as a military force, and the officials were frightened to dismount one after another. One of the leaders hurriedly bowed: "My father-in-law, how can your body bear such pain? You should get in the car earlier to rest. The villain took you to Xiangyang in less than a month or two."
Zhou Kui stubbornly became: "No, I want to carry shackles, I want to be exiled to the army."
It would be fine if you can stop at the right time. If you are angry, you will be in trouble. After all, you are no longer as good as a chicken. The face of the official is obviously a bit ugly, but Zhou Kui is no longer moved and is still jumping and arguing.
But the servant Liufu saw that something was wrong and hurriedly grabbed Zhou Kui: "Master, okay, let's get in the car quickly."
Zhou Kui went down and got on the carriage after a long fuss. Then he didn't forget to curse. It was just that he was irrelevant. After all, he didn't dare to scold his good grandson Zhu Cixuan by name.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the unification of the model of the shackle, which stipulated that the two ends were five feet and five inches wide, and was made of dry wood. The shackle worn by the death row prisoner weighed thirty-five kilograms, and the shackle worn by the shackles weighed 20 kilograms, and the shackle worn by the scepter weighed 15 kilograms, and the data of length, slightness and weight were engraved on the shackles.
The punishment of shackles is not a death penalty, but the pain of the person being punished is comparable to a head-cutting. In the Qing Dynasty, it was often weighing fifty or sixty pounds, and sometimes it could make people exhausted to death.
If Zhou Kui really put on this heavy shackle, he would probably not have reached Xiangyang at all, and would have been tortured to death halfway through the road. This so-called exile was just an excuse. The people along the way, Zhou Kui and his servant Liu Fu were sitting leisurely in the carriage. Along the way, they were served by the accompanying officials.
Even when we arrived at the local area, local officials came to greet us in person. These local officials were respectful and served carefully along the way. This was not just a military service, but it was clearly a patrol.
After walking for more than ten days, Zhou Kui was served with delicious food and food along the way, and his anger gradually calmed down. When he arrived in Xiangyang, the officials of Xiangyang Prefecture would also welcome him grandly. Here, Zhou Kui would also be forced to make great contributions, and then be pardoned by the emperor and return to the capital.
