Volume 1: Rectifying the Chao Gang Chapter 4 Arrest
Zhu Youtang read the memorials for a day, selected a few of the more important ones and gave personal instructions and replies, and gave the rest to He Ding for him to decide on his own. Compared with Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch of later generations, He Ding himself was relieved.
.
Under the rule of Zhu Chongba and Zhu Laosi, the Ming Dynasty has established a very complete national management system. On the surface, the power of the emperor has been eclipsed, and the cabinet and the eunuchs and eunuchs are in charge of government affairs. In reality, this is not the case, and these people are nothing.
He is just the emperor's lackey. The real decision-making power still lies in the hands of the emperor. As long as Zhu Youtang's imperial power is firmly in his hands, even if he is like Emperor Jiajing who practices immortality and elixir every day, the court will still operate.
With Zhu Youtang's permission, He Ding did not dare to be careless. Criticizing the government was something that ancient emperors did. No matter how bad it was, the prime ministers and civil servants would write for them. When would it be their turn to eunuch? As Zhu Youtang
He Ding, the little eunuch who accompanied him as a reading companion, still had a certain level of education. He did some simple common things by himself. For those that he didn't understand, he had to ask Zhu Youtang for advice before he dared to write.
"Your Majesty, today's memorials have been approved."
Zhu Youtang glanced at He Ding, who was sweating profusely, and waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work. You can go down first. I will call you if I need anything."
After He Ding resigned, Zhu Youtang rubbed his hands and murmured: "Handle ten political affairs that are beneficial to the development of the Ming Empire. I counted them today and found just enough for ten. It's time to summon the "Bronze Finger" again.
"Bronze fingers? I summon you to come out and see the driver.
Ding dong... [Hearing the call from the host, the host has met the summoning conditions once and has the opportunity to use it once. Do you want to use it? 】
"Yes", Zhu Youtang confirmed.
Ding dong... [Reward 1: One-Year Life Extension Fruit]
[Reward 2: One hundred thousand taels of silver]
[Reward 3: Strengthen your body 1] Please choose one of the three rewards."
"Reward one and two are the same as the first summons. Reward three. What does physical fitness mean? Grow muscles? Give me eight-pack abs? Add two big chest muscles?"
"[Yes, but it needs to be topped up ten times. The young Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty experienced many hardships and his body was weak. Strengthening the body can make the host have a good body.]"
Then let me choose three. The body is the capital of success in the future. After the body is fully strengthened, I may be able to hold an aerobics competition."
"Ding dong...[The host has obtained Strengthening Body 1, please pay attention to the changes in your body in the past few days]"
Ding dong... [This use is over, the system will be shut down soon, thank you for using it]"
Zhu Youtang looked at his body and felt that there was no change. He curled his lips and said, "This broken system won't fool me, will it?"

After Jin Yiwei's Palm Seal Envoy Wantong went to the Ministry of Punishment to receive the driving certificate, the Beizhen Prefecture's soldiers sent out two routes. One was led by Wantong himself and thirty-two horsemen went straight to the home of Li Zi, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other was led by the town governor Mou.
Bin is responsible for killing the demon monk Jixiao.
Outside a luxurious mansion in the Forbidden City, many people have gathered to watch the opera. Facts have proved that watching the fun is not only a modern thing, but also ancient times. Although the name of Jin Yiwei is very big, just stamping his feet can make all the officials in the capital shake.
They trembled, but their excitement was still greater than their fear of Jin Yiwei.
"Hurry up and open the door to get someone. If you don't open the door, we will break down the door!"
At this time, a horse wearing a red flying fish costume and an embroidered spring knife came over on Pegasus.
The Imperial Guard Commander and Tiqi, who were calling the door, saw the person coming and hurried forward to greet him.
"I am granted the title of Xia due to my humble position, and I respectfully welcome the envoy."
After Wantong dismounted and saw the closed door of the mansion, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Damn, what's going on? If he doesn't open the door, I'll knock him over, and I'll charge this bitch with resisting arrest!"
In fact, there is no need for the Jin Yiwei palm commander Wantong to take action in person to capture the capital official, but he is eager to show his loyalty in front of Zhu Youtang. After all, he has no backer, and his hat and head are both in Zhu Youtang's hands. If he performs well, he may not
You can make a comeback.
At this time, Li Zi was walking around anxiously in the mansion. He never expected that the Jin Yiwei would move so quickly. He had just received gossip from the palace that His Majesty wanted to arrest him, and the Jin Yiwei rushed to the door.
"Sir, how about we open the door? Your Majesty might also like your method."
Li Zisheng glanced at his married couple, suddenly slapped his forehead and said happily: "Yes, there is no man who is not lustful, even the emperor has seven emotions and six desires, I dedicate my secret skills to the Holy One, maybe I can still be favored! Madam
You help me deal with them here first, and I'll go to the backyard to get the treasure!"
The Jin Yiwei were dispatched, carrying embroidered spring knives that symbolized their identity, and also carrying fire blunderbuss. In this operation, someone even used a cart to push a big mallet, specially prepared for those who would not open the door to resist the order and waste time.
"Break the door!" With an order, several Jinyi guards picked up the big wooden mallet and began to slam the door hard.
With a "boom", the door of Li's Mansion was hit so hard that it almost fell down. The people on the side were shocked to see it, and they raised their hands and started discussing.
The lieutenants stepped back and were about to take a run-up before hitting the target a second time, when they heard the door creaking as someone slowly opened it from the inside.
"Control the mansion, no one can be released!"
After hearing the order, the Jin Yiwei quickly rushed into the mansion and began to control various key points. Some climbed up the wall and prepared bows, arrows and fire guns to prepare for the attack.
"On your Majesty's order, we are here to arrest the criminal Li Zisheng. Where are the others?" Wantong walked into the courtyard and shouted.
Mrs. Li led her children out tremblingly: "I have seen the commander."
Wantong walked into the lobby and sat down and said: "Mrs. Li, we are acting according to the order. Let your master come out quickly, so that we don't search.
Just as Mrs. Li was about to speak, Li Zisheng trotted in. When he saw Wan Tong, he smiled and said, "Mr. Wan, please come and be fine!"
"According to the order, take someone, capture him, and take him back to prison."
Two royal guards immediately stepped forward to hold Li Zisheng down. Li Zisheng struggled and shouted: "Wait a minute, I want to see Your Majesty! I have a treasure to donate."
Wantong slapped him hard and cursed: "Can you see me, Long Live the Lord? Tell me, who else is colluding with you to teach the late Emperor the evil arts?"
Wantong's slap was so hard that the right side of Li Zisheng's face turned red, and traces of blood dripped from his mouth. Li Zisheng cried miserably: "Don't hit me... I'll hit you... I'll hit you all."
Just as Li Zisheng was about to speak, Wantong shouted: "Wait, let's go back to the imperial prison to talk!" When the people came, they took everyone in the Li family back and couldn't let anyone go. They confiscated the family property and asked me to check it carefully.
Come on, make a list!”
…
Another group of Jin Yiwei led by Mou Bin was also ransacking the house at this moment, and found a lot of gold and silver from the monks and monasteries who usually talked about Buddhism.
On the left, there are more than 500 monks and masters under the guard of Jin Yiwei.
"Who is Jixiao!"
"Is the name of the Dharma King allowed to be addressed directly by ordinary people like you?" As soon as a monk finished speaking, a guard in golden clothes stepped forward and killed him with a knife.
Mou Bin sneered and said: "Bullshit Dharma King... he just made some monstrous words to confuse the monstrous monks."
"This poor monk is here. You are killing people in my Dharma Buddhist temple. It's a sin! It's a sin!"
Mou Bin glanced at Ji Xiao and said loudly: "According to the emperor's order, the evil monk Ji Xiao has deceived the public with his evil words and harmed the imperial court. Let's set the law straight!
When Ji Xiao heard this, the Dharma King and the Great Wisdom Buddha Puji, who had been calm just now, was shocked. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Mou Bin, begging Mou Bin to let him go.
Mou Bin lazily talked nonsense with him, raised his knife and chopped off Ji Xiao's head with a single blow. Seeing this, the monks and imperial masters on the side did not dare to say anything anymore and obeyed the orders.
In accordance with the imperial edict of Zhu Youtang, Mou Bin deported all these numb monks and Chinese Zen masters to their homeland, and confiscated all the gold seals of the great master, real jade crowns, jade belts, jade guiels, and silver medals. And some of the monks and monks were confiscated.
