"This, this... was really a fight. Old man, I heard that many people were involved. Will something happen?"
"Thirty lashes and ten blows with the cane will not kill you, but I guess you won't be able to get out of bed for a few days!"
"You really deserve it. You dare to bet on something like losing your title. You are so courageous!"
"Humph, the law does not punish everyone? Haha... That's because I haven't met His Majesty. Please be honest this time!"
"The sergeant's staff is twenty, my God, even for the Imperial Army, it would be very painful to receive twenty!"
"The duty of a sergeant is to protect the homeland and the country, and go into battle to kill the enemy. It is understandable that you can relax and have fun in your free time.
But it’s not right to bet on reducing the vassal state. It’s easy to say if you win, but what if you lose? Will they deduct military pay, rations, etc. from their subordinates? This will affect combat effectiveness! "
"Yes, the same is true for officials. If treasury funds are used, it will be the local people who suffer!"
"Members of the family cannot discuss politics. This was decided by Taizu. Although it has been in name only in recent years, it cannot stop the emperor from being serious.
If you don't study well when you have the opportunity to study, you deserve it, and you will only suffer for future generations! "
"If there is anything to sympathize with, you should be severely punished. If you can bet on cutting off the vassal vassal today, will you be able to make an issue of which prince will succeed to the throne in the future? Will you be making an issue of the emperor and the empress?"
"Don't be so mean. These people still have contributions. Based on the current scale, it is estimated that the amount of money involved in gambling is at least one million taels. It is like sending money to the court. The national treasury is sufficient, haha!"
…
The news of the arrest of gamblers quickly spread throughout Beijing. After hearing about this harsh punishment, some gamblers rushed towards the nearest market without any hesitation.
They are not stupid. Since the imperial court has taken action, there is absolutely no possibility of stopping or failing to find out.
Now it's just thirty thorn sticks and physical pain. If it waits until tomorrow, thirty army sticks will kill people directly.
Gamblers gathered from all directions to the execution place in front of various markets, and the teams gradually lengthened. This was a strange phenomenon.
What they didn't know was that this kind of thing happened not only in Beijing, but also in dozens of state capitals throughout the Ming Dynasty, similar things were happening in dozens of state capitals throughout the Ming Dynasty, and the scenes were extremely spectacular.
Some people from the government wanted to come forward, but when they saw that it was the Jin Yiwei who was doing the work, they didn't dare to speak for a moment.
At the same time, as the edict of reducing the rank of nobles was passed, groups of sergeants surrounded the clan's mansions one by one, and they were only allowed in but not allowed out.
At the Prince Tang's Mansion in Nanyang, Teng Zao, the commander of the Tongguan Guards, led a group of thousands of households to surround the Prince Tang's Mansion. The movement outside the mansion naturally alarmed the people in the Prince Tang's Mansion.
Before they could react, two more teams of men and horses escorting prison cars ran over from a distance and stopped in front of the palace gate.
"My lord, the Prince of Fushan County, Zhu Qishuan, and the Prince of Anyang County, Zhu Qiquan, have been escorted, and all the princes' palaces have been sealed off!"
Teng Zao coldly swept away the people in the two prison cars and waved his hand. The Jin Yiwei roughly pulled the two princes out of the prison cars, then kicked them and knelt down in front of the palace gate.
"Damn it, do you know who we are?"
"You bastard, I am going to put you all in prison so that you can live but die!"
"Let us go..."
The two struggled hard, but their bodies had long been drained by alcohol and sex. How could they twist past the elite sergeant? The sergeant's hands were like steel bars and iron bones, clamping down on the two of them.
Crunch…
The door of the palace opened wide, and a middle-aged woman who was luxuriously dressed, elegant, but with a domineering face came out.
"Wangzhi, who are you? Let go of Shuang'er and An Chun'er, I will let you die quickly!"
Teng Zao glanced at this woman with a heart as poisonous as a scorpion's heart with disgust, then turned to look at the Jin Yiwei Baihu next to him: "Xiao Yang Baihu, it's your turn, please call me if I need anything!"
"Thank you Commander Teng!"
Xiao Yang, a member of the Jin Yiwei family, clasped his fists and looked at the mother of Fushan County Prince Zhu Qishuan and Anyang County Prince Zhu Qichuan at the gate of the palace, who was the concubine of the old Tang King, and shouted loudly: "The Jin Yiwei is ordered to handle the case!"
"Come on, take down the Ji family!"
"Enter the palace and search for Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Who dares to be presumptuous!"
Listening to the search and rescue, Ji's face changed drastically, and she stretched out her hands to block the gate of the palace.
Xiao Yang's face remained as usual and he said coldly: "Anyone who dares to stop him will be punished for treason and will not be killed!"
Keng...Keng...
Behind him, more than a hundred imperial guards drew their swords from their waists and rushed straight into the palace.
Some of the palace servants who were about to move stopped immediately when they saw this scene and froze on the spot.
Bang, bang...
The Jinyi guards who entered the palace had a very clear purpose. They went straight to the Chengdu Department in the palace and kicked the guard away.
Hearing the commotion, the grandson Zhu Yujian who was reading a book raised his head and looked at the Jin Yiwei who came in. His eyes were confused at first, and then his face was full of joy.
"His Royal Highness Shisun, you have suffered. His Majesty learned of your plight and sent a royal guard to rescue you!"
Zhu Yujian's eyes turned red, the tip of his nose was sore, and tears flashed in his eyes, but then he took a deep breath, nodded to the leading Jin Yiwei, and walked outside.
The dazzling sunlight fell from the sky, but Zhu Yujian felt so warm.
After a while, the commander-in-chief of Jin Yiwei whispered: "Your Highness, Shisun, please follow me to the gate of the palace to receive the order!"
"Forgive me, the last time I basked in this kind of sunshine was... fifteen years ago."
Zhu Yujian said softly and then walked out of the house.
Half an hour later, under the protection of a group of royal guards, Zhu Yujian arrived at the gate of the palace.
Tongguan Guard Commander Teng Zao and Jinyi Guard Hundred Household Xiao Yang looked at Zhu Yujian's tall and straight figure at the gate, his face as usual, full of energy, and his eyes full of wisdom. They were full of sighs.
Ordinary people have been trapped in claustrophobia for fifteen years, without enough food and clothing, without warmth, fear all day long, and have to endure harsh words, and they will collapse long ago.
But instead of breaking down, this man studied hard and studied Confucian classics. His mental strength was beyond the reach of other people.
Xiao Yang took out an imperial edict from the box, raised his hands above his head, and said loudly: "Everyone in the Tang Palace receives the edict!"
"I'll wait for the order!"
Zhu Yujian was the first to kneel down, and the others followed suit.
"The Emperor, who is bound by heaven, issued an edict: King Zhu Shuo of the Tang Dynasty and his concubine Ji Shi bewitched... and connived at the Prince of Fushan County, Zhu Qishuan, and the King of Anyang County, Zhu Qiqi, to poison and kill the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Qiqi...,
The palace of the Tang Dynasty was temporarily controlled by the grandson Zhu Yujian, and he was granted the title three years later. After this incident, he immediately returned to the capital with the Jinyi Guards and expressed his gratitude! "
quiet!
Extremely quiet!
In front of the entire Tang Palace, whether it was the Tongguan guards, the Jinyi guards, or the people watching the excitement not far away, their eyes were full of disbelief.
Imprisoning parents and children, allowing children to kill children... is simply unheard of.
"Prove your identity and carry out the execution!"
