It took Emperor Longqing a long time to digest these explosive news.
"Quickly pass Master Zhang" My head was buzzing, and I felt a little confused. I habitually ask for help from the sidelines.
"Long live, Mr. Zhang asked me to bring a message to your majesty. It is not appropriate for the cabinet to intervene in today's matter. Please your majesty to make an official decision as soon as possible!" But I heard Feng Bao boldly say: "A slight delay will definitely lead to an uproar"
"Hmm." Long Qing touched his chin, thinking hard.
What does Master Zhang mean? I really want to call him to find out.
But since Master Zhang doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s appropriate to come forward, of course we can¡¯t force him
¡°Forget it, Master Zhang will definitely not harm me.
So, Emperor Longqing, who couldn't figure it out, simply gave up thinking.
Let¡¯s follow Master Zhang¡¯s idea first and cut through the mess quickly.
"How are the injuries on both sides?" Long Qing stepped barefoot on the carpet and asked with his hands on his knees: "Is there anyone killed?"
"Long live, both sides are injured, but it's not fatal." Teng Xiang quickly replied.
¡°Well, some people dislocated their shoulders and twisted their waists because they swung the bat too hard. By the way, there was also a man who lost his front teeth while chasing someone. Considering this, the damage was really not small.
"Who made the move first?" Long Qing asked again.
"Yanguan!" The four eunuchs replied in unison.
"Uh" Emperor Longqing blinked in disbelief. He actually wanted to ask which eunuch made the move first.
"how can that be possible?"
"The old slave has already interrogated the people below." Teng Xiang replied firmly: "It is said that it was Li Ke who was involved in the matter. Shi Xing first knocked Xu Yi to the ground in a drunken and jealous situation."
"That Shi Xing was very skilled, he knocked Xu Yi unconscious in one go. Now the kids got anxious and started fighting with them."
"Really?" Emperor Longqing looked at the several eunuchs suspiciously.
Although he is close to and trusts the officials around him, it doesn't mean that Humong doesn't have his own judgment.
What do you think, why do you feel that Yan Guan¡¯s behavior is unreasonable?
??~~
"How dare I deceive Your Majesty?" Seeing that the emperor was suspicious, Teng Xiang hurriedly swore to the sky, and then whispered: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. The young men took sticks to argue."
Yan Guan had to be searched when he entered the palace, so he was naturally unarmed.
"Hi." Emperor Longqing heard this, kicked Teng Xiang to the ground, and scolded with a smile: "You old guy is not honest anymore. After all, it's one of your people who ambushed someone in Huiji Gate. ?"
"No more saints than your Majesty!" Teng Xiang quickly got up, and with Feng Bao and others, he kowtowed and said, "Your little thoughts cannot escape Long Live's discerning eye."
"Don't do this." Long Qing smiled slightly proudly, then looked at the eunuchs and said in a calm tone: "Tell me, was it your instigation?"
"You absolutely wouldn't dare!" All the big men hurriedly swore to the sky and denied it. They firmly denied any prior knowledge, let alone provided convenience and support to the people below.
"You guys still have a point." Long Qing snorted, stood up and said, "The palace is not a place for wild behavior, and no one can be an exception."
"Yes." The big men buried their heads on the carpet and exchanged glances with each other. In the end, Meng Chong was the more aggressive one, suddenly raising his head and shouting to the emperor:
"But that's Zuo Shunmen, who kills people without breaking the law, Your Majesty!"
"Huh?" Emperor Longqing was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the original name of Huiji Sect was 'Zuoshun Sect'!
Zuoshunmen is a magical place. Ever since the Tumubao Incident, angry civil servants beat three of Wang Zhen's associates to death here, and this place has become a lawless place for punishing traitors and slandering ministers.
The officials were not happy, so they could yell at Zuoshunmen as much as they wanted, even if they cursed the emperor, no one would care. And it is said that even if someone is killed here, according to precedent, he will not be held accountable.
During the Jiajing period, Xiao Ge Lao Yang Shen planned to use this lawless place to ambush the two leaders of the "Succession Sect" Zhang Cong and Gui E.
It¡¯s a pity that Zhang Cong learned the news in advance and didn¡¯t dare to go to work.
Gui E was caught in an ambush, but he was a skilled practitioner. When he saw something was going wrong, he sprinted for 100 meters and escaped from the encirclement
Later, Yang Shen made the most of this place and organized officials to kneel and cry at Zuoshun Gate, which almost drove Emperor Jiajing crazy.
Even if Emperor Jiajing overturned the table and ordered Yang Shen and others to use his imperial staff,They were also caught and executed outside the Meridian Gate, instead of directly attacking at the Zuoshun Gate.
Tradition should still be respected
It was only later that Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan and no one lived in the Forbidden City, so everyone gradually forgot about the situation at Zuoshunmen.
??~~
After hearing Meng Chong¡¯s reminder, most of Long Qing¡¯s anger disappeared.
Yes, it was the civil servants who kept saying that it was not illegal to beat people to death in Zuoshunmen, which created this 'good tradition'.
We can¡¯t just allow state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps, right?
It is not against the law for civil servants to hit people, but it is against the law for middle-ranking officials to hit people?
It doesn¡¯t make sense
"Okay, I think it was your deliberate plan."
Long Qing raised his foot and gave a weak kick. The giants laughed and laughed, but they only bit him to death. It was the impulse of the people below.
Emperor Longqing paced back and forth on the carpet with his hands behind his back, and finally made up his mind, saying in a deep voice:
"The middle officials were dissatisfied and gathered a crowd to ambush Yan Guan. Although there was a saying in Zuoshunmen that killing people would not pay for their lives, but now Zuoshunmen has been renamed Huijimen, and the so-called tradition has become history."
"Therefore, we cannot shirk the tradition altogether, and must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others." After saying that, the emperor looked at Teng Xiang and others and said: "Go to the ceremonial supervisor and the internal official supervisor to arrest and interrogate the perpetrators. The principal culprit will be tied to the inner factory with a staff of sixty. , will be sent to the army; the accomplices will be given thirty sticks to see the effectCan you accept it?"
"The twenty-four bureaus are all His Majesty's slaves. Naturally, they will let His Majesty do whatever he wants without any complaints."
?????????? Everyone in the Supervisor of Ceremonies corrected their attitude first, and then said angrily: ¡°It¡¯s just a slap in the face that doesn¡¯t make a difference, and the officials also took action"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong, who had always stayed out of the matter, also secretly said to the emperor: "The six subjects are getting more and more outrageous. If Your Majesty only puts the board on the buttocks of the chamberlain this time, they will become even more disrespectful." We take it seriously."
"Don't be alarmist" Long Qing couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty is too kind!" Chef Meng shouted loudly: "I will give you an example. The bullets used to impeach Zhao Hao all came from the Sixth Section, but none of them came from the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
"Does Zhao Daizhao and his son have the ability to control the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Teng Xiang also shouted.
"Of course they are not that capable" Feng Bao said with a fatal blow: "But there is a father and son who have the ability to control six subjects!"
Li Fang actually admires Mr. Xu Ge in her heart, but seeing that the general trend is like this, how can she dare to go against everyone? Then he remained silent.
