I am the king of the dead

Chapter 233
Why didn't Zhao Hui want Song Zhang to die?

Because Song Zhang is the cousin of Queen Mother Sun Zhong.

Zhao Hui is the captain-in-law, and Sun Zhong is the empress dowager's relative. During the orthodox years, the relatives became one family and brothers. This situation has become more and more serious during the orthodox years.

It is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty that those who do not have military merits in the country will not be granted. When did this ancestral system be destroyed?
Since Sun Zhong, a relative of the Empress Dowager Sun, was named Huichang Bo.

Since then, Ming's relatives have continued to seek titles. For example, Sun Zhong, who has been jumping around, wants to advance to the next level, such as Zhao Hui, the captain-in-law, and Jiao Jingmou, the captain-in-law.

Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, is also an honored official and a relative.

However, in the first year of Yongle, Chen Mao was granted the title of Bo with Jingnan Gong, and in the sixth year of Yongle, he was named Marquis with the merit of General Conquering the West.

Chen Mao is indeed a foreign relative, but his title comes entirely from military exploits.

Therefore, among the honorable ministers, Chen Mao looked down on these people who married a princess and married a daughter to the emperor's house, and just jumped to be a feudal uncle and a marquis.

Chen Mao didn't take what he said to Zhao Hui, the son-in-law captain.

Song Zhang, Fujian chief secretary, must die, that is the emperor's imperial decree!

Zhao Hui was in the capital, but he could send a note to Chen Mao thousands of miles away, which shows how crazy he is.

"Dong Xing, have Song Zhang and others experienced their integrity?" Chen Mao stood up and asked his governor Dong Xing.

Dong Xing bowed his head and said, "Today, the execution will begin at three o'clock in the afternoon!"

"Let the commanding officer and the head of the village near the Jianning Mansion enter the arena, and a certain person will go over immediately." Chen Mao sighed, he was already seventy-two, which was an age rare in ancient times.

At his age, wearing the seal of General Zhengnan, and fighting rebellion for the country, he has nothing to be afraid of.

Since His Majesty wants to behead him, he will not take any face into account, behead all these people, and let the sun rise again.

In fact, Chen Mao at this time did not know that Li Binyan was in the court hall, and before the new year, he slapped the aunt and grandpa, and His Majesty had issued an order to investigate and deal with it.

Chen Mao took a deep breath and stood up, walked out of the Jianning Mansion's office, came to the street, and headed towards the Jianning Mansion's official office.

Jianning Mansion has seven counties under its jurisdiction, Jian'an, Ouning, Jianyang, Chong'an, Pucheng, Songxi, and Zhenghe. These seven counties vary in size, but they are the most densely populated places.

In the 13th year of Zhengtong, Ye Zongliu broke through the Jianning Mansion. There were traces of war everywhere in the city, and they never dissipated, but they have slowly recovered a little vitality.

There are more bookstores that have declined at the beginning, but these bookstores are all prepared by Chen Mao for the basic textbooks for His Majesty's implementation of the Farm Law.

Dong Xing and the guards beside him whispered a few words, hurriedly followed Chen Mao's pace and said, "Master! The person who delivered the note yesterday came again, saying that he must keep Song Zhang's head no matter what, otherwise..."

There was a trace of disdain in Chen Mao's slightly muddy eyes, and he asked in a low voice, "Hey, what else?"

"Otherwise let the commander-in-chief, who can't eat, walk around!" Dong Xing said quite disgusted.

Chen Mao also showed some disdainful smiles and said, "Oh? Really, it's too polite."

The army under Chen Mao not only included the [-] troops from the Beijing camp ordered by the emperor, but also [-] troops from the local area. Although they all cooperated with Chen Mao in the battle, they were not entirely in the same voice.

Therefore, the words of some people can still be delivered to Chen Mao's ears.

Chen Mao held up his hand and said: "Mr. Chen was lucky enough to be granted the title of Uncle Marquis. He has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty has made clear the decree and dare not disobey it. Man, I will definitely kill him."

"Let them do as they please."

"If you have the guts, rob the execution ground, I'm waiting for them."

In fact, releasing Song Zhang alone is very simple. The prisoner has already arrived at the place of escort. He only needs to communicate with the yellow-clothed envoy Wang Yin, get some money, and take a death-row prisoner to the execution ground. It was chopped with a knife.

No matter whether Song Zhang keeps his name incognito or changes his surname, he can survive, and the common people can't quite recognize him. Song Zhang has been running around for a long time and has been tortured in prison for two years.

But Chen Mao refused!

Murderer dies.

All the prefectures, prefectures and counties in Fujian have been captured and battered, and someone has to pay the price. If they don't kill them, how can they convince the public?

Zhao Hui and his group's ability is nothing more than to find some censors in the court and impeach Chen Mao.

Chen Mao has already been dismissed once, and he doesn't care about being dismissed again.

Chen Mao walked up to the supervisory stage, sat in the middle, looked at Wang Yin, the yellow-clothed emissary on the left, the eunuch Bingbi, the envoy in yellow, and at the other side where several military leaders were talking quietly, loudly Said: "Take people to commit crimes!"

Headed by Song Zhang, a total of more than ten criminals were guarded by soldiers, yamen servants, and Tiqi, and they walked onto the high platform continuously.

Song Zhang looked up at the sky, he was very familiar with this government office where he had been staying for several years, and he had also sat in Chen Mao's seat before, throwing out one after another decisive verdicts.

But today, everything is different.

Song Zhang blinked his slightly sour eyes, and was pushed up to the high platform by the yamen servants. He looked at the people in front of him. These people who had respected him to the ground in the past were now staring at him with the most fierce eyes.

Song Zhang still can't figure it out, isn't it just harvesting some winter animals?

How could there be such a big mess?
Of course, Song Zhang didn't know until now that that little winter animal was the last ration of the common people, if they were forced to the point of no return, how could the common people rise up?
The accompanying ambassador of the Ministry of Punishment stood up and said loudly: "Song Zhang, the governor of Fujian, Sun Ang, the governor of Fujian, Peng Sen of the left, Jin Jing of the left, Xu Jie of the right, the party book of the procuratorate, and the deputy envoy. Shao Hongyu, Gao Min, and Dong Yingzhen and Wang Dikuang, who are officials, don’t think about the responsibility of the herdsmen in the land, and the way of corruption has been fully investigated, and the verdict is: beheaded!"

Chen Mao picked up the seal ribbon in his hand, put it on the official document of the Ministry of Punishment, then threw a sign off the table, and shouted loudly: "Cut!"

Song Zhang trembled when he heard the beheading, but he was pushed to the beheading platform.

"Extract the prisoner's card!"

The criminal's plaque of the Ming Dynasty is a wooden plaque stuck around their necks. Folks often call it a "death plaque", on which the cause of the crime is written, and Song Zhang's wooden plaque naturally has his name written on it.

Before Song Zhang could react, he only felt a pain in his neck. The bone prying knife was inserted into his neck, and with a click, his whole body became unconscious, and the severe pain came suddenly.

Before he could yell out, he heard a bang, and he felt dizzy. He wanted to cry out in pain, but he couldn't make a sound no matter what.

At his last time, he saw the feet of the people.

Song Zhang and more than a dozen criminals were finally escorted back to Jianning Mansion again after a year-long investigation and punishment.

Chen Mao stood up and let out a foul breath. He was still waiting for the people who robbed the execution ground, but after waiting, Song Zhang's head had already landed, and there was still no one who robbed the execution ground.

"Counsel!" Chen Mao flicked his sleeves and left the prison platform. Behind him were the cheers of countless people.

Song Zhang, the chief secretary who had plagued Fujian for several years, finally died under their noses.

Most people just spit a mouthful of old phlegm before leaving.

After Chen Mao finished his sentence, he immediately summoned many generals.

Baoding Bo Liangyao, Pingjiang Bo Chen Yu, Governor Fan Xiong, and Dong Xing came to the gate of Jianyang Mansion, and also Wang Yin, the eunuch of Bingbi who suppressed the criminals and returned to Jianning, came out, together with Yushi Zhang Hai and Ding Xuan , gathered together.

"In the direction of Wenzhou Prefecture, Baoding Boliang Ping, you take [-] Beijing troops, [-] guards, and [-] voluntary regiments to Funing County. Beware of returning home regiments entering Funing."

"In the direction of Fuzhou Prefecture, Uncle Pingjiang and Chen Yu, you take [-] Beijing troops, [-] guards, and [-] volunteers to practice, go to Jianyang, and go to Wuyi Mountain for defense."

"This place is the key point of the traffic pass, and there is no room for loss. If you see a group of returnees gathering for training, you will use firecrackers to disperse them. If you don't listen to the warning, you will kill them all."

"Captain Fan Xiong, take [-] Beijing troops, [-] guards, and [-] volunteer regiments to Zhangzhou Prefecture. This is where the southeast gate is located, and there is also Yuegang. It is extremely important. Be extremely careful. The enemy invaders come from the sea. "

Chen Mao flicked on the map, and said with certainty: "The gentry who escaped will never be willing. Since they dare to save Song Zhang, they dare to take the local ruffians and bandits back to their hometown with open fire!"

"My lords, since I came to Fujian, people have been devastated everywhere, and the people are in dire straits. Until today, I have the strength to catch my breath!"

"Your Majesty will never allow this group of people to escape from the troubled gentry and return to Fujian to act as a domineering power!"

"Kill them all!"

A commanding officer quickly ran in and shouted loudly: "Report!"

Chen Mao nodded and said, "Speak."

The officer in charge shouted loudly: "Come here quickly, report to Li Binyan, the censor of Youqian capital, at the end of the year, the imperial court will discuss impeachment, and the emperor ordered Tiqi to go to Nanjing to supervise the consort of the captain, Ma Yin, the chief minister of Nanjing Taipusi. Zhao Hui, taking money and breaking the law, committing murders!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the entire middle account, and Chen Mao was stunned, ah, this...

The retribution came so fast that Chen Mao was a little sluggish.

This group of censors, who have not done anything for more than ten years, suddenly did something good?

Impeaching His Majesty's aunt and grandpa is too bold.

Dong Xing said in a low voice: "Should we also tell Tiqi about the rescue of Song Zhang? It happens that Tiqi is in charge, and it doesn't matter whether the crime is finally punished or not. This evil fire must be released first."

"It also saves their villains from filing a complaint first, calling the black as white, and calling a deer a horse."

The [-] Beijing camp traveled long distances to Fujian to suppress the rebellion, pressed down the gourd and floated the ladle, and finally came to Fujian according to His Majesty's will, so that they finally stabilized the local people's livelihood.

If Song Zhang was really rescued, or if Chen Mao didn't withstand the pressure of these foreign relatives and censors and made Song Zhang Li Daitao stiff, Fujian would be in chaos right away.

His Majesty has issued a decree to behead him, but there are still people who dare to save him.

"Well, turn around and send a group of people to Nanjing, and order them to be supervised by Tiqi." Chen Mao nodded, Dong Xing was right, and they really couldn't let their villains file a complaint first.

His Majesty moved quickly, so they would not be embarrassed.

Chen Mao's feeling that the sun was rising again became more and more obvious.

Your Majesty has ways and ideas, and has the legacy of Taizu Taizong.

Chen Mao's military report was sent back to the capital at the post station on the official road. After all, beheading Song Zhang and others was not a trivial matter, and it was worth writing a memorial to the capital.

Wang Yin was imprisoned throughout the sentence, and some nasty things that happened were also written in the memorial, and reported to heaven.

The ambassador of the Ministry of Punishments also entered Beijing with memorials. The criminals were punished, and the death penalty was repeated three times.

Zhu Qiyu carefully checked the seals and ribbons of Chen Mao's memorial. This is a new set of seals and ribbons that Li Yongchang specially changed for Chen Mao when he went to Fujian for the first time.

He got three memorials and was full of emotions. Li Binyan, as a water monkey, hung a huge object on his fishhook.

"Bold, very big!"

"audacious in the extreme!"
