Chapter 102: Skinned and removed, executed in a hurry, executed immediately! (Chinese)
Wang Zhi knew what to do.
After he returned to Fengtianmen Square, he waved to Xichang Fanzi.
Xichang's fans immediately captured Zhang Hai and Wang Yuan, who were kneeling on the ground, and escorted them to the execution ground at Caishikou!
Along the way, Zhang Hai and Wang Yuan screamed at the top of their lungs and cried to death.
But now no one cares about the life or death of these two people.
After the two crying people were escorted out of Fengtianmen Square.
The civil and military officials in the court who were shocked, frightened and numb with fear gradually came back to their senses.
Their first reaction was that the sky was falling!
If Zhu Youtang really wants to govern the country strictly in accordance with the "Imperial Imperial Order", then the most important thing they officials should do is to immediately submit a letter to become an official.
But Zhu Youtang had to completely block the retreat from becoming an official early in the morning.
All senior officials must be investigated by factory guards to find out the source of each of their assets.
In the civil and military dynasties, who has the courage to let the factory guards check their property?
But if you don't become an official, under the constraints of the "Imperial Imperial Order", this official position is really aggrieved and useless!
Every law and order in the "Imperial Imperial Edict" forces them to be good officials and upright officials!
This is simply rebellion against Tiangang and goes too far to deceive officials!
But from now on, if we act carelessly, the lives of the whole family may be in danger.
Is it going to happen again in the prosperous Hongwu era, when all officials wrote suicide notes before going to court and every household prepared a coffin in advance?
The civil and military officials felt miserable when they suddenly saw the four pavilion elders Xu Pu, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian at the front of the team, and their anger suddenly swelled and became uncontrollable.
It’s all the fault of these four cabinet ministers!
Okay, what kind of constitution are you going to amend?
Now it’s okay, as soon as I cultivate, I will cultivate directly back to the Hongwu Dynasty!
The great efforts made by the four gentlemen of Jianwen were all wiped out by the traitors, sycophants and thieves in these cabinets!
All the officials in the court rushed to the front of Xu Pu and the four of them. They were so angry that they had long forgotten the difference between superiority and inferiority. They did not care that they were still facing Xu Pu and Liu Jian in the court. Others issued stern questions.
“Mr.
"We all serve as officials in the same court, and we don't care about each other, but we won't show our butcher's knife to our colleagues so quickly, right?!"
"Yes, Mr. Xu Ge, you are from Nanzhili, you There is no shortage of money in the family, so you can be an upright and good official! But have you ever thought about us mainland officials?”
"Years of hard work by the four gentlemen of Jianwen have been wiped out by you, Mr. Xu Ge, with just one sentence. You, Mr. Xu Ge, are so majestic!"
"Xu Pu! You have gone against the grain and restored " "Imperial Imperial Edict", you have to die!"
"..."
All the officials in the court were extremely angry. They did not dare to scold Zhu Youtang, so they could only vent their anger on Xu Pu.
No matter what unpleasant words were said, he cursed them out without hesitation.
As for Xu Pu himself, he is still confused.
When he heard Peng Shao read out the four words "Imperial Imperial Patent", he felt bad all over.
He tried his best to change the "Da Ming Code" to be more lenient.
As a result, Zhu Youtang's effort in so many days was wiped out by simply restarting the "Imperial Imperial Order".
Not only have the penalties for officials not been reduced, they have been increased several times.
Such a result is completely contrary to his purpose.
Xu Pu was still immersed in the confusion of his failed plan, and the shouts and curses from the officials in the court were like a blow to the head, waking him up.
Xu Pu's face turned green with anger when he heard the officials scolding him.
Xu Pu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He racked his brains and was determined to die to persuade Zhu Youtang to agree to amend the constitution. Isn't it for the benefit of all officials in the world?
As a result, Xu Pu became the target of public criticism with Zhu Youtang's casual words.
These officials in the court not only did not thank Xu Pu, but also cursed him.
This made Xu Pu feel very aggrieved, and this grievance turned into anger after a certain official said something.
“Before you speak, you have to think carefully about whether you can say this!”
"What I do has nothing to do with whether I am from Nanzhili or not!"
"Don't slander me!"
The circle of officials surrounding Xu Pu In the middle, there was a disdainful sneer: "Forget it, Xu Ge Old man, no official in the world knows that the Jiangnan gentry make a lot of money by relying on shipping..."
"Who! Who is slandering me!"
"You stand! Come out and say it in front of me!”
Xu Pu roared angrily. This incident made him extremely angry. He would never forgive anyone who made trouble with the sea ban!
“Don’t talk nonsense! No matter what you say, you must be responsible!”
“The sea ban is a national policy personally decided by Emperor Taizu Gao. For more than a hundred years, no one has dared to disobey the will!"
"Who is slandering the Jiangnan nobles, stand up, I must explain it to you!"
"..."
Xu Pu seemed to have been stepped on and screamed for someone to stand up and argue with him.
And this sentence was like water falling into a frying pan. The officials who were still unanimously targeting Xu Pu instantly split into two factions.
Officials who were originally from the Jiangnan area turned their guns one after another, jumping on their feet and angrily cursing the person who had just spoken.
“We Jiangnan people have been adhering to the national policy of banning seas for many years, and no sails can be put into the sea. How come it has reached your mouth and we have to eat sea transport?” “Where is there any sea transport?! Where is there any sea transport? ! ”
"Those are bulk goods transported by water from the Guangdong and Guangxi regions!"
"The records at the Shipping Department are clear and clear. Why are you slandering us out of thin air!"
>The elder Xie Qian, who usually kept a low profile, was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened, and he roared angrily.
He is from Yuyao, Zhezhou, and like Xu Pu, he is from Jiangnan.
In addition to Xie Qian, there were hundreds of officials jumping to their feet and roaring, and the court was so frightened that there were no other objections.
Xu Pu cleverly seized on an unintentional mistake by an official and successfully redirected the artillery fire aimed at him to the dispute over the maritime ban in the Jiangnan area.
Jiangnan has a developed economy and rich educational resources. Historically, most of the Jinshi on the southern list have been occupied by people from Jiangnan.
If the Ming Dynasty had not divided the recruitment of scholars into the southern list, the northern list and the middle list, I am afraid that the northern scholars and the southwestern scholars would not have a chance to enter the officialdom.
The entire officialdom of Ming Dynasty will be monopolized by Jiangnan scholars.
It is worth mentioning that after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he immediately followed the advice of Fang Xiaoru and others and abolished the North and South Ranking system created by Zhu Yuanzhang.
At the same time, the official schools in the north were stopped, and for a time the scholars in the north basically lost the channels to become officials.
After taking power, Yu Qianyu Shaobao, a Jiangnan person, also abolished the North and South List system.
It was not until the restoration of Emperor Yingzong that the system of recruiting scholars from the north to the south was restored.
Because of the outbreak of Jinshi in the south of the Jingtai Dynasty, even now thirty-one years have passed since the Jingtai Dynasty.
There were also overwhelmingly more southerners in the Ming Dynasty than northerners and southwesterners.
Among southerners, those from Jiangnan are the most numerous.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, officials from Guangnan Zhili, Zhezhou, and Ganzhou accounted for 40% of all officials.
During the Jingtai years, this data was even more terrifying.
In the imperial examination in the second year of Jingtai, a total of 201 Jinshi were admitted. Ganzhou alone occupied 42 seats, accounting for more than 20%.
The number of students admitted to Nanzhili and Zhezhou will only be higher.
Therefore, when the Jiangnan officials in the court got angry, the entire court fell into silence. No one dared to make irresponsible remarks about the Jiangnan sea ban.
At this moment, a young eunuch in charge of rituals came to Xu Pu with a tray covered with red cloth.
“Mr. Xu Pu, thank you for your majesty’s grace.”
After the ceremony, Xu Pu dared to lift the red cloth on the tray and handed out fifty consistent Hongzhi treasure notes.
Xu Pu's mind was buzzing as he looked at the fifty-string treasure banknotes.
The little eunuch also urged with a smile: "Xu Ge, please accept these fifty guan notes quickly, so that I can go back and recover."
Xu Pu stretched out his hand tremblingly , accepted the fifty thousand notes.
As long as he accepts the fifty guan notes that Zhu Youtang rewarded him, then this pot will be like yellow mud falling into his trouser pocket, it will be shit or shit.
Looking back, the officials from the north and the south, who were still tense at first, united the front again and opened fire on Xu Pu.
"Mr. Xu Ge, just for these fifty guan banknotes, you have really worked hard and dedicated yourself for His Majesty!"
"Mr. Xu Ge is indeed deeply trusted by His Majesty, and those who have been rewarded with treasures by His Majesty, I’m afraid it’s just you, Mr. Xu Ge?”
"Mr. The treasure banknotes rewarded by Youtang, looking at the excited civil and military officials of the court, were at a loss and unable to argue.
...
On the other side, Zhang Hai and Wang Yuan were also dragged to the execution ground at Caishikou.
Unlike Wang Yuan, Zhang Hai, as the governor of Shuntian Mansion, is still somewhat well-known in the capital.
Moreover, the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture is located in the capital, so there are countless people in the capital who know Zhang Hai.
As we walked along the road, countless people followed along the street and spontaneously clapped their hands and cheered.
"Zhang Fuyin is so greedy that he can't have enough to eat when the Fuyin comes!"
"Kill corrupt officials, except relatives, and the people will be well during the Hongzhi period!"
I don't know who started it! , such a limerick began to be sung in every corner of the street.
Zhang Hai and Wang Yuan, in shackles and chains, were pushed to the execution ground at Caishikou by the Xichang policemen in embarrassment.
The people along the way celebrated and jeered loudly, and some even spat at them and threw trash at hand.
Both of them felt remorseful and only regretted that they had failed to be a good official.
But regret is of no use, the Caishikou execution ground is already in sight.
I can’t stand it any longer, so I’ll post the second chapter this afternoon. The update time will be changed to one chapter at 10:30 am and one chapter at 4:30 pm in the future.
