A note from a big shot determines the life and death of twenty-one people. Some live and some die.
After Dai Mian and other twenty-one officials entered Beijing, the prison car went directly to the Taoist temple of Lingji Palace in Xicheng. That was the headquarters of Xichang. During the Chenghua period, Quan Jianwang designated this place as the headquarters of Xichang when he opened it. Decades later, Liu Jin reopened the West Factory, and the General Administration Yamen was still located here.
The biggest difference between a traitor and a loyal minister is that no matter what he does, the traitor always hides his head and tail, cannot be upright, and dare not expose himself to the sun, because the psychology of such a person is as shady as that of a mouse, and the things he does are even more shady. .
Obviously Liu Jin is not a good person, and the things he did are not good either. From the moment Dai Mian and others entered the city, they were directly escorted to the lobby of the West Factory. There was no trial process or public disclosure of their crimes. There was a sense of evil from the beginning to the end. The taste of guilt.
According to the rules, ministers usually receive the imperial staff at the Meridian Gate or the Great Prison. Before the execution, the minister will be announced to the court to declare his crime. Finally, he will be fully clothed and executed. The execution is also very gentle. There is no need to take off clothes and pants. The minister will even be A piece of thick cotton cloth is covered on the buttocks, that is, "thick cotton bottom clothes, with heavy layers and folds, just to show humiliation." In short, the point of the imperial rod is not to beat the ministers badly, but to use this punishment to declare to the world the attitude of the Ming Emperor towards officials who offended him. The general meaning is, if you dare to offend me, I will spank you in public Shame on you.
What a punishment as innocent and pure as a child being angry. However, perhaps Mr. Liu was too impatient for justice. After taking over the power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, he made some ingenious changes to the rules of the imperial staff that had been passed down for more than a hundred years.
Not much modification, just a little bit.
First of all, spanking must be done professionally. How can one be called professional when wearing pants? It must be removed. Of course, the thick cotton padding on the buttocks must be removed. What's the point of spanking if it doesn't hurt?
Secondly, the life and death of the ministers who receive the imperial staff no longer only depend on the emperor. The same two water and fire sticks, depending on who is holding them, will make you have broken muscles and fractures or slight flesh and blood pain, the decision has been made. In the hands of the eunuch who is imprisoned, the well-known sign is whether the eunuch's toes are turned inward or outward.
Only these two rules of the imperial staff have been changed, but since Liu Jin in the Ming Dynasty, more and more ministers have died under the imperial staff. It is no longer a humiliating and light punishment, but a truly powerful punishment. Human life is not inferior to the punishment of going to the court.
Eunuch Liu was very innovative, but it was a pity that he was not used in the right way.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Liu Jin changed the rules of the imperial staff in order to openly admire the butts of ministers. After all the group of eunuchs always has some extreme perverts. Compared with some perverted eunuchs who eat the brains of children and try to grow new branches from dead trees, appreciating ministers Zhiju's hobbies can be called elegant.
There was a cold wind in the lobby of Xichang. Twenty-one officials including Dai Mian had already got out of the prison car. They were still wearing heavy shackles and were forced to kneel down in the center of the lobby.
Dai Mian and others kept struggling and cursing, their cheeks had been swollen by the fans, but they still did not give in, and cursed Liu Jin loudly and inarticulately.
A figure flashed on the screen behind the lobby, and a eunuch wearing purple eunuch clothes walked out with a smile.
The eunuch's name was Chen An. He was originally a little-known little eunuch in the Supervisor of Ceremonies. After Liu Jin took charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Chen An tried his best to please him. Like Liu Bei visiting the thatched cottage, he knelt down in front of Liu Jin again and again to beg for support and support. He worshiped his godfather, and every word of flattery made even Liu Jin lose his temper, so he accepted his godson and made him the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Seeing Dai Mian in the lobby, Ai Hong and others were shouting and scolding each other. Chen An's smile became more and more endearing, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Hey, adults, you are in good spirits. It seems that the fans took good care of you on the way from Nanjing to the capital."
When the Xichang fans on the side heard this, they were frightened to death and hurriedly knelt down to apologize and kowtow.
Dai Mian and others became increasingly angry. While struggling, they scolded the castrated dog endlessly. Even Chen An couldn't help but change his face.
With a fierce light in his eyes, Chen An suddenly grabbed a fire and water stick from the hand beside him, and swung it towards Dai Mian's head with all his strength. The stick was accompanied by the sound of whirring wind in the air, and only a muffled sound was heard. , Dai Mian's body shook, and then he fell softly to the ground, and a pool of red and white stuff quickly flowed out of his head.
Chen An swung the stick so hard that it knocked out all of Dai Mian's brains. Dai Mian's body twitched unconsciously and he was no longer alive.
The remaining twenty officials widened their eyes angrily, but Chen An ignored it. He threw away the stick stained with dirt in his hand in disgust, took out a white silk scarf, wiped his hands and sneered: "The world.Everyone knows that a good man never suffers immediate losses, so you are better off rushing to take immediate losses. Now that you have fallen into such a situation, you still show off your words. Are all of you scholars just cheap? "
Seeing that Dai Xian died on the spot, Ai Hong and others couldn't help but become more and more angry. After a brief silence, Ai Hong and others broke out into even more intense curses.
Chen An was not angry either. He smiled coldly and said: "The Za family will not quarrel with you. Among the remaining twenty people, who will go to the court to impeach Eunuch Liu? One memorial, thirty records of the imperial staff, two impeachments, and six Ten records, three volumes of impeachment"
Chen An had a smile on his face: "If you have more than three books, there is no need to beat him. Save your energy, swing a stick over his head like Dai Mian, and send him directly to see the King of Hell."
Liu Jin¡¯s killing of Nanjing¡¯s household minister Dai Mian finally caused huge waves in the court again.
The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were the toughest and most stubborn in the history of the dynasty. They would never give in or compromise. There was an invisible halo on their heads, which was "fame". They prospered because of their fame and became famous. And tired, because of "fame", they can overcome the cowardice and fear in human nature.
More than a hundred ministers knelt in front of the Meridian Gate and cried bitterly, requesting to see Zhu Houzhao. However, the palace door was closed tightly and there was no movement.
Zhu Houzhao didn't know it. He didn't abandon the world. He just trusted Liu Jin too much and thought that Liu Jin could help him handle all state affairs properly. He didn't need to worry about it at all. As for state affairs, he approved a batch of memorials and agreed or rejected them. , and then listen to the ministers chattering a few nonsense words such as Confucius said Meng Yun, and virtuous ministers are close to villains and far away from villains, that's all.
The palace doors were closed, news was blocked, and the ministers knelt down and cried, but there was no way to appeal.
In an atmosphere of bitter wind and rain, a memorial titled "Begging for forgiveness from officials, removing power and traitors, and writing about saints and virtues" was presented to the desk of Liu Jin, the Superintendent of Ceremonies.
The memorial was written by a little-known head of the Ministry of War. His name was Wang Shouren.
