Chapter 59 Sandalwood Punishment
Outside the Meridian Gate, at this time, Guo Rong, the new commander of the Jinyi Guards Command, has led all the Jinyi Guards here in Fusi, North Town.
Mou Bin, the former Jinyi Guards Commander, was also kneeling here at this time.
Mou Bin, like the civil servants, thought he had made the right bet after hearing that a large number of officers and soldiers were flocking to the Forbidden City. He thought that the fifteen-year-old emperor was still no match for the few old foxes in the cabinet and the inner court's ceremonial supervisor. At the same time, he secretly felt lucky for himself. Let Zhang Zhao go first, and when the time comes, he will have accomplished something.
Mou Bin, who has always been close to the civil servants, is different from the former Jin Yiwei who commanded the affairs. In order to avoid being accused by the civil servants of meddling in everything, he does not care about the intelligence investigation function of the Jin Yiwei. Every day, he behaves like a scholar who only drinks some flower wine in an arty manner. But this also led to the fact that although he was the leader of Jinyiwei, he did not know that Zhu Houzhao secretly went to the regiment camp to distribute Lumi a few days ago.
However, Mou Bin is the person in charge of Fusi in Jinyiwei North Town. Although the information is delayed, he will know it no later than others. When a large number of officers and soldiers entered the palace last night, when he thought Zhu Houzhao would definitely lose, He suddenly learned from one of his subordinates that the emperor had recently been to the regimental camp. Mou Bin was smart enough to guess that something was going to happen without asking any more questions, so he immediately led people to arrest the man who had been living in a private residence outside the palace. The deer is seven.
Unfortunately, Lu Qi committed suicide earlier than he knew.
Mou Bin only got Lu Qi's head.
Mou Bin originally wanted to escort Lu Qi into the palace to plead guilty to Zhu Houzhao the next morning, but he did not expect that the officers and soldiers surrounded his private house that night, so Mou Bin had to escape from his private house and took Lu Qi's head to the Meridian Gate. Please forgive me.
Mou Bin knew that he could only do this. He could guess that the capital was under martial law and he would not be able to escape. Of course, he had no intention of escaping. He also hoped that Zhu Houzhao would spare his life. After all, he was nothing but He let Zhang Zhao go after listening to a false order. He was just a fool at best, not to mention he was still a retainer of the emperor.
Zhu Houzhao also appeared outside the Meridian Gate at this time, and couldn't help but ask Gu Dayong beside him: "Do you know anything about Mou Bin?"
Gu Dayong's previous task was to inquire into the private lives of civil and military officials, so he replied truthfully: "Reporting to the emperor, Mou Bin is always cautious, but as far as the ministers know, when he plays with women, he prefers to enter from behind. It's him What the boy said is not worth paying attention to, it is just romantic, just like the literati and poets."
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao just smiled slightly and ordered: "Since he likes the back, you go to the inner treasury to find a sandalwood prong that can be inserted into his back! It's best to use a mace. If you don't have it, just find a stick. ! ”
Gu Dayong couldn't help but shrink back after hearing this, and then he came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao came to Mou Bin and asked without any pretense:
"Mo Bin, right? Let me ask you, since Zhang Zhao was imprisoned yesterday morning, why did he still show up at the regiment camp last night, and even broke into the palace, intending to kill the king and usurp the throne? You, a royal guard, are in charge of everything. Well done, this is the first time in the Ming Dynasty that someone has escaped from prison!”
"Your Majesty! Mou Bin was wronged!
Mou Bin had already obeyed the emperor's order and sent the traitor Zhang Zhao to prison, but Lu Qi, the godson of the governor of Dongchang, Eunuch Lu, came to us as your majesty and asked us to let Zhang Zhao go. But Mou Bin never thought Lu Qi pretended to pass on the oral message, but Mou Bin later learned that Zhang Zhao actually intended to rebel!
Mou Bin was just about to take Lu Qi into the palace to escort him, but he didn't expect that Lu Qi had committed suicide and had to cut off the head. At that time, he had learned that His Majesty had settled the chaos. Mou Bin knew that he was guilty and almost put the emperor in danger. So I apologized outside the Meridian Gate! ”
Mou Bin started crying as he spoke.
Zhu Houzhao smiled faintly. He actually had a guess. He wondered how Mu Bin chose to do this after listening to Lu Qi's instructions. He obviously wanted to speculate, and he was even more inclined to Wang Yueying. If he were an official from other systems , he can also spare him the death penalty, but the Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, and they must ensure absolute loyalty. There must not be anyone who wants to be two-faced!
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao had long made up his mind to kill Mou Bin to frighten the other Jinyi guards. As soon as Mou Bin finished speaking, he directly pointed at Mou Bin and scolded:
"Yesterday morning, I did not ask Dongchang to arrest Zhang Zhao, but asked Jin Yiwei to directly send Zhang Zhao to prison. You should have guessed that I did not trust Lu He, the then governor of Dongchang. If this was the case, how could I Will send his godson to deliver the message!
It turns out you are lying! I wanted to be a wallflower, want to engage in double-dealing, and want to speculate, but unfortunately I didn’t expect that a stone would hit me in the foot, right? As a royal guard, you are my personal soldier. Since you are the emperor's personal soldier, you should be absolutely loyal! Speculators like you are never allowed! ”
Zhu Houzhao turned around and entered the Meridian Gate as he spoke, while Mou Bin did not expect that his thoughts would be exposed by his emperor so quickly. He was so frightened that he continued to cry and beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Your Majesty, have mercy on me!"< br>
Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to care anymore and just stood on the Meridian Gate waiting for Gu Dayong to come back. After a while, Gu Dayong ran back with a shiny golden stick in his hand: "Your Majesty, there really is such a thing in the inner library. This is a sandalwood mace, wrapped in gold leather. , the inlaid thorns are made of agate stone.”
"Just give him a luxurious version of sandalwood torture!"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao explained to Gu Dayong what sandalwood torture was, and then ordered: "Go down and ask a few Jinyi guards to hold him down, and then find a few more Jinyi guards to stab me. I want these Jinyi guards to see if they are not loyal to me." The end!”
"The minister understands!"
With that, Gu Dayong walked out of the Meridian Gate and ordered the Jin Yiwei to push Mou Bin to the ground. He also ordered: "Hold him tight for us!"
When Mou Bin saw Gu Dayong coming with a rather gorgeous stick, he thought he would only be beaten with a stick but not killed, and he became happy for a moment: "Dare you, your Majesty, spare my life and only beat me with a stick?"
"What a wonderful idea! Brothers of Jinyiwei, listen, Mou Bin betrayed the emperor, acted double-dealing, and was disloyal to the emperor. Now according to the emperor's decree, he will be sentenced to the wolf's fang and sandalwood punishment. What exactly is the wolf's fang and sandalwood punishment?" You will know later when you look at it. The emperor said that I hope you will remember it in the future. This is the consequence of being disloyal to the emperor!”
As Gu Dayong said this, he ordered someone to take off Mu Bin's pants.
In fact, Mou Bin didn't know what the wolf tooth and sandalwood punishment was, and neither did the other Jinyi guards.
Gu Dayong only asked: "Which of you is the strongest?"
At this time, Liang Ze stood up and said: "Eunuch, I was an archer before I humbled my position, and I can draw a strong bow!"
"Okay, it's up to you." Gu Dayong told Liang Ze what to do.
So, Liang Ze followed Gu Dayong's instructions and thrust a golden wolf tooth sandalwood into the back of Mou Bin.
ah!
Mou Bin screamed! He fainted immediately and fell to the ground!
The Jinyiwei who were present shrank their butts when they saw this, they were shocked, and their backs felt cold, thinking that this is the consequence of being disloyal to the emperor! This is worse than being chopped up!
ah!
At this time, Liang Ze followed Gu Dayong's instructions and continued to poke.
Mou Bin woke up again and screamed again and again.
The Jin Yiwei present were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they did not dare to disobey the emperor's order from then on.
Book friends who don’t know what Sandalwood Punishment is can go to Baidu. I won’t write the details here. A real master has written about the details in his famous book, which is worth reading.
