Thirty slaps were finished by Geng Liang in a matter of seconds.
At this time, both sides of Sun Zheng's face were swollen, and his teeth, which were not strong enough, were filled with blood as he spat them out. His eyes were blurred and he was in a state of embarrassment.
After thirty slaps, Geng Liang was still unhappy, but the eunuchs who were counting him stopped him in low voices: "Eunuch Geng, that's enough, that's enough, thirty slaps is enough... I don't dare to make a mistake in front of His Majesty. ah……"
After Geng Liang heard this, he could only stop.
After he stopped, Sun Zheng had turned into a pig's head, unable to speak a word, and his face was full of fear.
These few slaps from Geng Liang seemed to remind him of the miserable years when no one cared about him...
"Why did you say the wrong thing when you came up? You should be punished..." Zhu Jianshen said softly.
After hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words, Sun Zheng gasped and kowtowed repeatedly.
"So many things have happened in Nanjing. You, the Nanjing garrison eunuch, don't know anything. This is your dereliction of duty. Of course, I don't blame you. I want to patrol the south. You have many affairs and you didn't notice it. It's reasonable. "But you shouldn't be acting arrogant and engaging in some shameful deeds..."
"I won't kill you. After the ancestor worship ceremony is over, you can stay well in this palace and become a chore eunuch...start from scratch..."
After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, Sun Zheng raised his head and looked at Zhu Jianshen, shaking his head wildly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... slave, slave, I beg for death, slave, I beg for death... yes, I beg for death..."
Sun Zheng hesitated and spoke intermittently. For him, losing the power and status at this time and becoming a low-level chore eunuch again was even more difficult to accept than letting him die.
Becoming the lowest eunuch not only has to endure the psychological gap, but the most important thing is the physical torture.
Sun Zheng himself is not a good person, and he is not good to the people below him. If he falls from his high position, the little eunuchs who used to take orders from him will bully him in different ways and make him live a life where he cannot survive or die. The days when I can’t.
In fact, he had already experienced these days of being ostracized and bullied when he was young. Now that his body is old, he does not want to be tortured anymore.
But at this time, Zhu Jianshen couldn't listen to a word of Sun Zheng's words.
"Pull it down and take good care of it. After worshiping the ancestors, you can express your will."
After Gao Yi heard Zhu Jianshen's words, he nodded quickly, then waved his hand at Sun Zheng in disgust, and several young eunuchs drove Sun Zheng out.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... forgive me, please forgive me..."
After Sun Zheng was pulled down, Zhu Jianshen looked at Geng Liang.
"You will handle the following errands. If it is done well, I, the Nanjing garrison eunuch, will leave it to you."
After Geng Liang heard this, he was overjoyed. Sun Zheng was not dead and he could ascend to power.
He hurriedly knelt down and said, "This slave will never let His Majesty down and will do his best."
Zhu Jianshen nodded with satisfaction: "You will take care of the children in Sun Zheng's mansion. Find a job for them..."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
After Zhu Jianshen learned about Sun Zheng's character, he did not immediately send people to capture him and punish him. He did not want to cause more troubles during his southern tour. Secondly, he was afraid that the people below would not be able to handle the subsequent sacrifices. Zu took over the errand.
Sun is the emperor he met today.
But Geng Liang had met the emperor five days ago and communicated with him for a long time.
Geng Liang has been under investigation for several months.
Sun Zheng is old and greedy for pleasure. Apart from eating and drinking with noble officials, he rarely does anything serious. Whether it is worshiping ancestral mausoleums or repairing the palace, it is his deputy Geng Liang who does all the work in Nanjing. After understanding this, Sun Zheng The emperor's role was much smaller. BIquGe.biz
The guard eunuch seemed to be very powerful. Officials, honorable ministers and generals of the previous dynasty respected him and did not dare to offend him. But in the end, he was just the emperor's domestic slave. If the emperor wanted to depose him, he would not waste his efforts at all.
In the blink of an eye, Geng Liang, the deputy guard, had the opportunity to remove his deputy, and he was very concerned about it at the moment.
After leaving the palace, he led people to inspect Sun Zheng's mansion and property. He arranged for the dozens of children to do some work in the imperial mausoleum. Although they needed to work, they also had their own identities. , with a salary from the court.
In the Ming Dynasty, working for the dead emperor, especially the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao, was much more expensive than working for the living emperor. It was a good ending for these suffering children.
It only took half a day for Geng Liangban to liquidate all Sun Zheng's property.
The reason why Geng Liang was so eager to get these things done, to put it bluntly, was because he wanted to strike while the iron was hot. First of all, he had to leave the first impression of being practical and capable in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and also to completely drive Sun Zheng into the abyss.
Everyone knows that eggs cannot be put in one basket. Of course, Sun Zheng will not put all his gold and silver in his own home. He also has a secret house outside specifically for storing silver.
The reason why Geng Liang was able to find all the money so quickly was because he was Sun Zheng's confidant and godson.
The godfather has been calling me for many years, and he still manages this private residence with his own hands. Otherwise, if it were someone else who checked, they would never find it so quickly. , Sure enough, the person who hurts you the most must be the person closest to you.
When the accurate figures were sent to Zhu Jianshen's case, the young emperor smiled...
"As expected, the city of Nanjing is rich and charming. A guard eunuch only worked for four years, and the gold and silver and other items hidden in his home were as high as hundreds of thousands taels..." Zhu Jianshen said and looked at the person standing in front of him. Geng Liang.
Although Geng Liang is Sun Zheng's godson, what he is doing now is somewhat ungrateful and ungrateful. However, in Zhu Jianshen's eyes, those who understand current affairs are heroes and there is nothing wrong with him.
Lessons from the past can only serve as a warning to smart people. According to the investigation of Geng Liang by the people in Dongchang, he is a smart man.
"Geng Liang, this matter was done well, I am very relieved..."
Hearing His Majesty the Emperor's compliments, Geng Liang was in a good mood and responded quickly: "Your Majesty, Sun Zai has been acting rebelliously in Nanjing for more than a day or two. My slave, I have always wanted to tell you, but I have no way. Now Your Majesty has arrived in Nanjing. The slaves in Nanjing can see the blue sky..."
Zhu Jianshen waved his hand: "I take what you said into my heart, and don't worry, I won't treat you badly..." After finishing speaking, Zhu Jianshen glanced at Zhao Huanong who was standing next to him thoughtfully: "Zhao Huanong, follow Geng Liang and seal up these gold and silver items first. After worshiping the ancestors, you can take them to the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue warehouse..."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
After Zhao Huanong finished speaking, he took Geng Liang and two others and left the Qianqing Palace. After the two people left, Zhu Jianshen took out a list of eunuchs who supervised the army and mines in various places, and read it in detail...
