In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu had a decree to give preferential treatment to those who had won the world's fame.
From the royal family down, all the people in the world are one and the same, and all the miscellaneous services and official taxes are equal.
In front of the Meridian Gate, the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty could not kneel down, and the government was suspended.
The emperor's decree was instead published by the Bureau of Books and Newspapers, and was ready to be sent to all parts of the world via the official road station.
From the beginning, all the officials who could not hold on and fell to the ground in front of the Meridian Gate were stripped off their official robes and hats by the Jinyiwei guards and escorted to Jinyiwei Zhao Prison.
"Tomorrow is the third day. How long will these people persist?"
In front of the Meridian Gate, a Qianhu official from the Jinyiwei Yamen looked at the civil servants who had been kneeling in front of him for two days and cooed softly.
After last night, today alone, there were nearly a hundred more civil servants in the Jinyiweizhao Prison.
If this continues, not to mention whether Zhao Prison can manage so many Beijing officials, if it goes on for a little longer, there is a chance that someone will kneel and die in front of the Meridian Gate.
By then, once the news spreads, I'm afraid it will add some more chaos to the already chaotic court.
Sun Cheng, the current Jinyiwei North Town Fusi envoy, had just walked out of the palace and arrived in front of the Meridian Gate. He held the Xiuchun Dao in his left hand and said calmly: "No one can die in front of the Meridian Gate."
】
Sun Cheng's words were brief, but the meaning was clear.
At this moment, the Qianhu official of Jin Yiwei who was on duty in front of the Meridian Gate turned to look at the envoy.
"The governor is also worried, will someone kneel and die here?" Qian Huguan asked in a low voice.
Sun Cheng looked a little bored. Now the entire Jinyiwei was in trouble because of these civil servants and was short of manpower.
Except for the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers who stayed behind in Yingtian, most of the people in the yamen were sent out last night and went to various places in the world to monitor the possible local commotion caused by His Majesty's cancellation of preferential treatment for people with academic merit.
Sun Cheng nodded and said: "They can die anywhere, but they must not die here. Your Majesty's saintliness cannot be tarnished by their despicable lives."
Qian Huguan stamped his feet and placed his palm on the handle of the knife.
Sun Cheng was very worried and hesitant.
Although the entire Yingtian City now knows that these officials are kneeling here because they have angered His Majesty, and they are forcing His Majesty for the benefit of their own family.
But if someone dies in front of the Meridian Gate at this time, it will definitely be spread by these people. At the very least, His Majesty will have to bear the infamy of driving his ministers to death.
only.
Not everyone dares to make the decision to expel ministers.
Sun Cheng glanced around, and all the Jinyi guards present were looking at him.
The dignified guards in royal robes, authorized by the imperial power to behead first and report later, when did they become the gatekeepers? No one is willing to stay here day and night with the bunch of eggless civil servants.
The commander of the Imperial Guard who was present today seemed a little uncomfortable looking at the Jin Yiwei.
He couldn't help but stepped forward to Sun Cheng's side.
"What do you want to do? His Highness's decree only requires you to arrest those who cannot kneel."
Sun Cheng turned back to look at the commander of the Imperial Army, a sneer flashing across his face.
Before the commander of the imperial army could react.
Sun Cheng had already turned around and looked at the officials who were forcing him to the palace with cold eyes: "Jin Yiwei obeys the order!"
"exist!"
The officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guards who had been guarding here for two whole days responded in unison.
Sun Cheng nodded slightly, drew his sword out of its sheath with his right hand, and pointed at the officials in front: "Today, a group of ministers are rushing into the palace. They have no regard for the emperor and are disrespectful. The Jinyi guards must not make mistakes in expelling the ministers. If there is resistance, they will be killed without mercy!"
Sun Cheng finished his sentence.
The Qianhu official, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately pulled out his Xiuchundao and led the deputy Qianhu, Baihu and chief flag officers around him to press towards the officials present.
"The Jinyi Guards are ordered to leave the imperial city immediately. If you disobey, you will be shot without mercy!"
"If anyone disobeys, he will be killed without mercy!"
In the imperial corridor in front of the Meridian Gate, all the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard drew their swords from their sheaths and pressed on the officials kneeling on the ground.
The Forbidden Army general who had just tried to dissuade him was startled by the Jin Yiwei who suddenly went berserk. He quickly stretched out his hand to grab Sun Cheng and said urgently: "You are going to cause a big chaos! Why don't you stop them all quickly!"
Sun Cheng turned back with cold eyes, shook his arm, shook the opponent's palm away, and said in a cold voice: "Everyone in the Jinyi Guards only has Your Majesty in their hearts. Although there was no will for what they did today, the Jinyi Guards all did it for Your Majesty. If you judge the crime afterwards, I will bear all the responsibility." !”
After finishing speaking, Sun Cheng ignored the Forbidden Army general who was already stamping his feet anxiously, and walked to the front of the Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers who were pressing forward with a knife.
Suddenly, the lone guard in uniform pressed forward, and the officials who still insisted on kneeling in front of the Meridian Gate suddenly panicked.
The embroidered spring knife was shining brightly in front of their eyes.
Some people want to hold on, but those knife edges are getting closer and closer.
The Jinyiwei officers and soldiers who had been holding back their anger for a long time suddenly became filled with murderous aura as soon as they received the order.
It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to suppress these civil servants who used to chatter in the court.
Now, everyone is looking for someone who will be confused and resist, insisting on staying in front of the Meridian Gate.
"presumptuous!"
"Do you Jin Yiwei still have the law in your eyes?"
"In the important place of the imperial city, are you planning to commit murder?"
"How dare you!"
"..."
The civil servants were frightened by the knife and backed away repeatedly, but they shouted and questioned angrily.
Sun Cheng turned a deaf ear, took off the scabbard from his waist, and returned the knife to the sheath: "Hit! Beat these people out!"
Once upon a time.
A Xiuchun knife was returned to its scabbard. The officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guard held the scabbard and began to eagerly draw it towards the officials in front of them.
Suddenly, screams continued one after another in front of the Meridian Gate, one after another, endless.
The Jinyiwei generals, headed by Sun Cheng, were arrayed across the entire corridor, and the scabbards in their hands kept falling on the raised arms of the officials in front of them.
The Forbidden Army general behind was completely panicked.
These Jin Yiwei are crazy.
They actually beat the court officials in public at the foot of the imperial city.
The general told his subordinates twice, then immediately turned around and rushed to the palace.
In front of the Meridian Gate and behind the Duan Gate.
Because of the sudden rise of the Jin Yiwei, the officials who were kneeling on the ground were in chaos. Everyone was retreating and huddled together, hoping to escape the beatings of these crazy Jin Yiwei.
The panicked general of the Forbidden Army rushed all the way into the palace, stood in front of the Wulong Bridge, glanced to the east and north, and then gritted his teeth and rushed to the Qianqing Palace behind the three main halls in the north.
The skill of cupping tea.
In front of Qianqing Palace.
The general of the forbidden army, who was sweating profusely, knelt heavily on the ground: "I am reporting urgently, the Jin Yiwei in front of the Meridian Gate drove away all the officials. The Jin Yiwei North Town Fusi Town Governor Sun Cheng gave an order, and the Jin Yiwei beat all the officials with sticks to drive them away. "
The Forbidden Army general knelt in front of the palace gate with his hands clasped in fists, sweat dripping from his face to the ground.
Creak.
There was a noise from the door frame of the bedroom.
The general raised his head and saw Sun Gou'er, the chamberlain's manager, walking out of the palace.
"Sun Daban."
Sun Gou'er waved his hand to signal silence, then stepped forward to the general and whispered: "Your Majesty has just finished reading the memorial, had some soup, and is taking a rest. Please do not disturb Your Majesty."
"But over there at the Meridian Gate..."
Sun Gou'er glared: "It's just a few blows on the left and right, but it can still kill someone? Jin Yiwei is kind-hearted. He rushed these people home to take a breather. What's the matter with kneeling in front of the Meridian Gate all day?" "
The Forbidden Army general who came from the Meridian Gate was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
It turns out that Jin Yiwei beat hundreds of officials with a stick. How can this be explained?
Sun Gou'er sighed softly, waved his hand and said: "Looking at how sweaty you are from running, go back and have a rest. Next time if something happens, report it to Commander Chang first."
Chang Sen has now been leading the errands of the Forbidden Army and commanding the entire Forbidden Army.
When the Forbidden Army general heard this, his eyes suddenly trembled, and he realized that it was Sun Daban who was reminding him that he had exceeded his authority today.
He immediately lowered his head and clasped his fists: "General, thank you very much for reminding me."
A smile appeared on Sun Gou'er's face and he waved his hand again: "Go ahead, go ahead."
After coaxing the general away, Sun Gou'er immediately put away the expression on his face, clasped his hands together, turned around and faced the palace, already bent down, pacing with his head lowered, suppressing the sound of footsteps, and started walking again Enter the palace.
"Your Majesty, you are an elm-headed man, and you have been driven back by your servants."
Sun Gou'er, who returned to the palace, bowed and stood in the side hall, lowering his head and reporting softly.
In front of him was Zhu Yuanzhang who had just stopped in his mouth.
To Zhu Yuanzhang's left and right, the prince Zhu Biao and the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi were seated respectively. Among the three grandsons, there was Kanyu of the Ming Dynasty.
The latest 14 Daokan maps of the Ming Dynasty.
And in the far south, west of the Jiaozhi Road and Champa Road established by the New Expedition, there is no less than half of the Central Plains territory, which is included by the dotted line.
Zhu Yunxi took his eyes away from where the southern general was commanding the army, glanced at Sun Gou'er who had returned, and finally looked at the old man silently.
Zhu Yuanzhang just hummed, and suddenly chuckled: "That Sun Cheng is a bit bold."
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment. The old man was clearly staring at him when he said this.
And who is Sun Cheng?
Everyone in the court didn't know that he was originally a personal guard around him, but was later inserted into the Jinyiwei. In just a few years, he took the position of the envoy of Fusi Town, North Town of Jinyiwei.
Zhu Biao interjected from the side: "Jiang Wei, the commander, is sitting comfortably."
Zhu Yuanzhang let out a sigh, looked sideways at the boss, and hummed twice: "How do you think the prince will handle this matter today?"
Zhu Biao lowered his head: "Everything is subject to the Holy Father's decree."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi and pointed at Zhu Biao with his hand: "Learn from your father. He is the shrewdest in the Ming Dynasty."
In front of these two people, Zhu Yunxi could only act as an apology, nodding with a smile on his face.
Zhu Yuanzhang was angry for a while, then he changed his mind and said: "We allowed them to make noises in front of our house for two days. Now that we rush back, we have already given them face."
Zhu Yunxi spoke at this time: "My grandson thinks that the court may be shut down for a while. Today, Sun Cheng expels hundreds of officials. They have another excuse and reason. There will definitely be another commotion in the court."
Zhu Biao frowned and looked at Hao Daer: "With that little attention, don't look forward or backward. You should have the momentum to move forward. If the center is shaken, how can you convince the world?"
Zhu Yuanzhang chimed in at the right time: "Look, I said you can learn from your father."
Zhu Yunxi pursed his lips: "What we need to watch now is not Yingtian City, but the local trends. My grandson just doesn't want the people to suffer from the turmoil anymore. The country has been in power for more than 20 years, and the people of the world should also be down-to-earth. Live a stable life.”
"Young scholars from the North, Lan Yu and Mu Ying are leading the army outside at the moment. As long as there is no chaos in Zhili and Huguang, the scholars in the world will not cause any trouble."
Zhu Yuanzhang said reassuringly.
Zhu Biao also echoed from the side.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and looked at the latest Ming Dynasty Kanyu in front of him: "The general has been in the south for several years, and the Sinicization of the newly conquered land is taking a long time. Should we wait for the opportunity to move the people of the Central Plains to settle there?"
At a time when the officialdom of Yingtian City was in chaos, Zhu Yunxi suddenly made such a proposal, and its meaning was known to everyone in Sima Zhao's mind.
Zhu Biao leaned back and leaned on the back of his chair: "People from the Central Plains were relocated to Jiaozhi Road. Champa Road is close to the conquest land in the west. You can go to Champa Road to relocate the people first, and wait for the general to stabilize the new conquest area, that is, The people can be moved westward through the Champa Road, which can also save the court's expenses, and can immediately complete the migration and settlement, so that the people will not be bumpy on the road."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "We will handle this matter when the DPRK and China are stabilized."
Zhu Yunxi added: "Cao Guogong has been in Japan for three or four years. Now that Japan's northern and southern dynasties have become stable, should the DPRK send additional troops and horses to guard our country's output?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "The Japanese country is not in a hurry. Our family's energy is limited. If there is a big change in the Japanese country, let Jiujiang save their lives and go to North Korea. When we turn around, we will have reason to fight back."
This is the idea of saving people and losing land, and both people and land are saved.
Zhu Yunxi didn't say much anymore. He made this proposal to the Japanese country at this moment, but it was just because Xie Jin had told himself before that the construction of cement roads now requires a lot of labor. If Japanese workers can be mobilized, he can guarantee that the imperial court will The construction of more than three cement roads at the same time can also ensure that the cost to the court will not be too high.
Japanese workers are actually diligent and thrifty.
But the old man didn't agree, so there was nothing that could be done. The three of them went to another place to discuss, completely ignoring what was happening outside the Meridian Gate.
Today, the people of Yingtian City saw a rare good show.
When countless officials, driven by Jin Yiwei, escaped from Duanmen, Fengtianmen, and Chang'an Youmen, they arrived outside the imperial city.
Countless people have already received the news.
The common people did not dare to cross the Fuxing Bridge and Dazhong Bridge, so they gathered on the streets of Taipingli and Fuchengli, looking at the officials who fled from the imperial city.
Behind the officials there were guards in royal robes like wolves and tigers, and in front of them there were people watching. They covered their faces with their sleeves and fled away.
The sound of ridicule echoed throughout Yingtian City.
