Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 756 Public Trial (3)

"This guy! He doesn't understand a single word of good or bad!!"

Daming Gate Tower.

Zhang Qingzhen's eyes twitched and he glanced at Han Yilian beside him from time to time. He couldn't help cursing in his heart, so he was being polite to him, but he actually came up.

Why are all these civil servants the same?

Compared to Zhang Qingzhen's dissatisfaction, Han Yilian, who was overlooking the city at that time, was deeply shocked by the scene before him.

Countless armored warriors were scattered outside the Daming Gate. They stood tall like sculptures, separating the people of the capital who had rushed over after hearing the news.

The seemingly noisy and chaotic crowd was invisibly divided into square formations.

Although Han Yilian didn't know much about fighting, he could still see some clues from it.

If someone dares to instigate and incite during a public trial, the armored warriors scattered everywhere can control them at the first moment and avoid a storming of the court.

In a corner of the crowded crowd, there were hundreds of armored warriors, divided into several lines. The outermost held shields, followed by red tasseled spears, then bows and crossbows, and the innermost held Hongwu style flintlock rifles. The reason why they were so alert was that what they were guarding was none other than the Monument to the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty!

"The Earl of Fushun (Chen Ce) is really meticulous in his actions."

Han Yilian couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he watched the scenes before him. In such a short time, he was able to mobilize the troops under the Beijing Garrison Commander's Office to stabilize the order outside the Daming Gate.

Say something unpleasant.

If one day, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is really invaded by foreign enemies, there will be no problem in relying on the troops under the command of the Capital Garrison Commander's Office to ensure the stability of the capital both inside and outside, and to unite against the foreign enemies.

What's more, between the capital and the surrounding areas, there are garrison security teams with clear responsibilities and powers and distinct defense zones. If such a day really comes, if a powerful foreign enemy wants to capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely pay an extremely tragic price!

"With such a big commotion, has the public trial started yet?"

When Han Yilian was lost in thought, a voice sounded outside the Daming Gate.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Zhang Qingzhen, Wei Shitai and others all bowed and saluted respectfully.

"Forget it."

Zhu Youxiao, who had changed his clothes, waved to Zhang Qingzhen and the others. Seeing Han Yiliang was about to raise his hand to salute, Zhu Youxiao waved again and walked towards the parapet.

Behind Zhu Youxiao were Zhu Changxun, Zhu Youdong and other sons of the royal family. They were all wearing guard uniforms and followed Zhu Youxiao towards the parapet.

For Zhu Youxiao, today is not his home court, but Bi Ziyan's!

This grand public trial was held in the capital, and many officials cooperated in the action. I am afraid that by now everyone in the capital knew about this matter. From this, we can imagine how much pressure Bi Ziyan was under.

Public trial is actually not unfamiliar to the Ming Dynasty.

After all, public trials had been actively carried out in the localities since the rectification of the garrisons under the jurisdiction of Northern Zhili. Even as Cui Chengxiu, Qi Jin and others were ordered to leave Beijing and rush to different places to carry out their duties, public trials also occurred in the places they went.

However, there has never been a public trial in the capital, and the key point is that such a commotion was caused right at the start.

Public trial is a political weapon. If it is to be launched at the central level, it must be controlled by the relevant officials and cannot be controlled by organizations such as the Censorate.

Anyone who presides over a public trial in Beijing must be a pillar of talent who understands the law, knows the righteousness, and knows right from wrong, because only in this way can he avoid being taken advantage of by some people.

In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, public trial is a double-edged sword.

If used properly, this will be a powerful weapon to deter corrupt officials and villains.

If used improperly, it will become a tool for factional struggles used by people with ulterior motives. "Your Majesty..."

While Zhu Youxiao was in deep thought, Han Yilian stepped forward and bowed. When he wanted to say something, Zhu Youxiao interrupted him by waving his hand.

"I will not express my opinion or interfere in today's public trial."

Zhu Youxiao said calmly, "If you have anything to say, wait until today's public trial is over."

Han Yiliang: “…”

“Is this about to begin?”

At this moment, Zhu Changxun looked in a certain direction and said something subconsciously. Everyone on the city wall looked in the direction Zhu Changxun was looking.

"quiet!!"

As a shout was raised from the Ming Dynasty gate, the armored warriors stationed in various places, led by their officers, shouted in turn.

"quiet!!"

"quiet!!"

Shouts, one louder than the other, echoed here, making the countless people gathered here feel deeply oppressed. The change was really too great.

Some of the timid ones even began to tremble slightly in their hands.

The teams responsible for maintaining order outside the Daming Gate belong to the Royal Guard Commander-in-Chief's Office and the Capital Garrison Commander's Office. Among these teams, there are some fierce soldiers who have been on the battlefield, with blood on their hands.

They were selected into the Imperial Guard Commander's Office and the Capital Garrison Commander's Office because they had clean family backgrounds, and the important reason for their selection was that they had trained well the various departments affiliated with the office and the office.

"You are worthy of being my Ming warrior!"

Outside the Daming Gate, Bi Ziyan, who was waiting to go on stage, heard the shouts and saw the chaotic crowd, which had become silent, and subconsciously praised.

He knew that the Imperial Guard Commandery and the Capital Garrison Commandery were both elite forces highly valued by the emperor, but he seldom experienced it directly. Today, outside the Daming Gate, Bi Ziyan experienced it all with just this one shout.

If the central government needs more elite troops to go to the border to fight, there is no need to draw troops from other places. A group can be directly selected from the capital and sent to the front line.

It was also at this time that Bi Ziyan suddenly understood why the current emperor wanted to keep all the troops under the central government firmly in his own hands.

It's really different.

"Grand Situ, should we hold a public trial?"

While Bi Ziyan was sighing, Chen Ce, wearing armor and carrying a sword, came over and asked.

This public trial was of extraordinary significance, and Chen Ce was well aware that without the Emperor's order, he, as the commander-in-chief of the capital's police force, would not heed Bi Ziyan's request, even if Bi Ziyan served in the cabinet.

Being the commander-in-chief of the capital's garrison, he is destined to be a lone minister. After all, the garrison inside and outside the capital depends entirely on him.

If you can't even be absolutely loyal, you can never reach this position.

"let's start."

Bi Ziyan nodded, then calmed his mind, looked at the temporary platform, and walked towards it with his head held high.

“Dong dong!!!”

As Bi Ziyan moved forward, at Chen Ce's signal, the sound of drums began to sound. At this moment, a majestic and tense atmosphere enveloped the place.

The crowds gathered in various places, all looking at the scenes before them with different thoughts. Until now, they still didn't know what this public trial was about!
