"You are usually uneducated and incompetent, and I have no time to discipline you because of the busy state affairs. Now that you have followed the prince to Jinling, you have acted more and more unscrupulously. You dared to talk about important matters in the court, causing the prince to violate the administrative orders..."
"If I don't discipline you strictly, why would you want to overthrow the world?"
If I continue to mess around, will I go to heaven? The old man knows me too well... Zhu Jinghong said secretly.
"I ordered the Dongchang Jinyi Guards to rush to Jinling to capture Old Thirteen and punish Thirty Big Boss!"
"Appreciate this!"
"May 30, the tenth year of orthodoxy!"
"The Thirteenth Prince, please accept the edict!" Wang Qing rolled up the imperial edict.
Under the leadership of the prince, all the officials shouted "Long live", but Zhu Jinghong was stunned.
Wang Qing walked down the imperial steps and quickly helped the prince up. After reading out the imperial edict, how could he dare to support him again?
"Prince, you must handle the matter in Jinling as soon as possible. The Lord is very dissatisfied..."
After saying this, Wang Qing looked at the officials and said, "You all must work together to help the prince achieve his goals!"
"It should be like this, it should be like this..." Zheng Xianlin said with a smile.
When he came to Zhu Jinghong, Wang Qing showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said: "Thirteenth Master, the people from Jinyiwei have arrived outside. Do you want to go by yourself or..."
"Hmph, it's only thirty dollars, why should I be afraid?"
After saying this, Zhu Jinghong turned around and walked outside, feeling quite righteous and awe-inspiring.
After walking out of the door, Zhu Jinghong looked up to the sky and sighed: "As long as the Japanese rebellion can be quelled, let alone thirty big boards, I will not complain even if I suffer more grievances!"
These words were said overtly and secretly that the emperor was not a saint, and only Zhu Jinghong could do it in the world.
To be precise, this is very consistent with the character of the predecessor. Although he was often scolded and scolded by the emperor, he and the emperor had more of a father-son relationship.
If you have a monarch-subject relationship with the emperor, even your own son would not dare to speak nonsense, as is the case with the prince and Prince Rui.
Looking at the dozen or so imperial guards standing on the left and right and the long bench arranged in the middle, Zhu Jinghong simply lay down on it decisively.
"bring it on……"
Several Jinyi guards looked at each other, and at Wang Qing's signal, they came forward with a big board and spanked Zhu Jinghong on the buttocks.
The emperor had strict orders, so they didn't dare to cut corners. The boards were really hard.
But Zhu Jinghong had rough skin and thick flesh. Although he felt pain, he could hold on and remained silent.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
The board was smashed down again and again. The people around were frightened and the prince Zhu Jingyuan was heartbroken.
In his opinion, Zhu Jinghong took the blame entirely on his behalf, and the blame should have fallen on him.
After hitting more than ten boards, Zhu Jinghong's buttocks were already red, which shocked everyone.
"Eunuch Wang, I think it's almost enough..." Zhu Jingyuan interceded.
"Prince, my servants are also acting under orders. The master said that there will be thirty battles. Who dares to reduce or reduce the number without authorization..." Wang Qing looked helpless.
This time he came to Jinling on business and looked majestic, but in fact he was complaining in his heart.
If you mess with a demon king like Zhu Jinghong, you won't know how much trouble there will be in the future!
But the emperor used his "cruelty", and the eyeliners everywhere made him dare not let go at this moment.
He also wanted to be like Hu Yongquan and gain a reputation as a "good guy" in Dongchang, but this was no longer possible since he started out as ruthless.
The board fell again and again, Zhu Jinghong's face turned red, and the severe pain made him want to get up and hit someone.
"twenty-three……"
"twenty four……"
"Eunuch Wang, we can't fight anymore..." Looking at his younger brother's bright red clothes, Zhu Jingyuan begged again.
Wang Qing was speechless. If you really wanted to save people, you would have stopped him yourself. Do the Jinyiwei people still dare to hit you?
If you ask me to be a eunuch, will I listen to your words and resist the decree?
When he was slandering, Wang Qing once again replied in a stylized manner: "Prince, I dare not resist the decree!"
Of course, Zhu Jingyuan did not dare to resist the order, so he could only worry while ordering someone to go find the doctor immediately.
"thirty……"
Finally, after the thirty rounds were completed, the Jin Yiwei who was in charge of the punishment retreated.
Zhu Jinghong shouted to the surrounding guards: "Damn it, why don't you hurry up and help me!"
This left everyone present speechless. Do you think you haven't beaten enough? Wang Qingke is still here.
Several guards immediately stepped forward, helped Zhu Jinghong up, and then took him away.
After taking a few steps, Zhu Jinghong grinned due to the severe pain in his butt, but it was still within tolerance.
Nowadays, the imperial power is highly centralized, and officials who commit crimes are frequently dismissed from office, questioned, or even beheaded. The imperial staff is rarely used in comparison.
But Jin Yiwei's skill in executing the punishment was not lost. Even though Zhu Jinghong looked bloody, it was actually just a skin injury.
"Thirteenth Master, the Lord has a strict decree, and there is nothing I can do about it. Please forgive me, Thirteenth Master!" Wang Qing explained for himself.
Zhu Jinghong did not answer the question and said, holding his buttocks: "Go back and tell the old man that I received the bucket of boards today and the previous matters will be wiped out. He can't go back on his word!"
In this situation, hearing these words in the ears of all the officials made them feel particularly moved.
The Thirteenth Master is so righteous. He still dares to confront the emperor at this time, just to exempt everyone from responsibility.
In contrast, the obedient prince has become an absolute negative example, making people unable to follow him at all.
"Thirteenth Master, how dare I say this!" Wang Qing said with a sneer.
"You won't tell me, right? Then when I return to Beijing, I will come to settle the score with you!" Zhu Jinghong sneered.
It was not Zhu Jinghong's first time to threaten an imperial envoy, but it was the first time for others to see him, and it suddenly refreshed their views.
So what about the eunuch in charge of the East Factory? To put it bluntly, he is a servant of the royal family.
At this moment, being threatened by Zhu Jinghong, Wang Qing said with a bitter look on his face: "I just want to pass on the message!"
Zhu Jingyuan on the side should also be able to handle such a situation, but his personality prevents him from doing so.
"Hel me back!"
Zhu Jinghong was helped down, and the Jinyiwei people began to clean up the scene. A group of officials also left one after another after saying goodbye.
"I'm going to see my thirteenth brother!"
Zhu Jingyuan was about to leave when he was pulled back by Gao Shuyan beside him.
"Your Highness, we have invited the imperial doctor. Everything will be fine!"
After giving this warning, Gao Shuyan looked at Wang Qing: "Eunuch Wang, Gao has something to ask me!"
"Master Gao, please speak!" Wang Qing replied calmly.
"The issue of exempting Jinling from being short-changed may cause a commotion in the imperial court. I wonder what the situation is now?"
If you blindly offend others, the ship will capsize sooner or later, so Wang Qing will sell people appropriately.
After hearing Gao Shuyan's question, Wang Qing replied: "Not only is there a quarrel, there are not only 100 but also 70 or 80 memorials to impeach the Crown Prince and the Thirteenth Master!"
"As for senior local officials in Jinling, there have been countless impeachment memorials. It is incredible that they are still in official positions..."
Being impeached by so many people, it is common sense not to mention removal from office, but at least suspension pending investigation. But now none of the senior officials in Jinling are fine.
There was an uproar at the court meeting, but the emperor suppressed them all.
Seeing the worries on the faces of the prince and Gao Shuyan, Wang Qing continued: "Although there are many impeachments, the Lord has suppressed them. The prince does not need to worry!"
"For today's plan, as long as the Japanese rebellion is quelled, the prince will be able to sit back and relax!"
Wang Qing's words were almost the same as Zhu Jinghong's idea, which made Zhu Jingyuan feel more at ease.
"It will take time to deploy troops and generals. I will strictly supervise and supervise, and the Japanese pirates will be wiped out!"
Rarely, Zhu Jingyuan showed strength, even though he was just shouting slogans.
