My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 45: Open court meeting, but first observe the punishment

"Has the Ministry of Punishment made a verdict on Feng Sanyuan and Gu Zao?"

He looked at the ministers leaving with a faint look in his eyes.

Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked Xu Xianchun next to him.

"Back to the emperor, the Ministry of Punishment sentenced him to execution, but he was dismissed by Dali Temple."

"Zhan Lijue, has the approval been returned?"

Zhu Youxiao picked an apple from the tree and took a bite. He chewed it and pondered.

The Ming Dynasty's harsh laws against corrupt officials were rarely implemented after the early Ming Dynasty.

Today, let these officials recall the punishment method of the Taizu in the early Ming Dynasty.

"Go, take the two of them out from the imperial prison, set up a execution platform at the entrance of Wenyuan Pavilion, and find two more craftsmen. I will chop Feng and Gu alive."

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Hearing this, Xu Xianchun trembled unconsciously. Ling Chi was still very annoying.

After Xu Xianchun left, Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Shimin again.

"How is the formation of the Internal Finance Office going?"

"This.."

Liu Shimin was stunned for a moment, then continued.

"I heard that Yang Daxuan organized the eunuchs who had money to calculate the accounts of the previous eunuchs so that they could give an explanation to the emperor."

"Well, he is really thoughtful."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded.

"Pass an order to Yang Chengxiu to select some people from the eunuchs in the accounting room. They must be good at abacus and familiar with accounting. I want them to check the finances of the outer court. In addition, for today's court meeting, he will also join."

"Slaves take orders."

Hearing this, Liu Shimin nodded quickly and then went to deliver the order.

Looking at Liu Shimin leaving, Zhu Youxiao thought in his heart.

Wanli, an old man who was obsessed with money, never did any good things anymore, but he left behind a group of very useful eunuchs, who were all physically calculating thieves who specialized in calculating how much money the emperor got from the private sector.

"Your Majesty, I will return the tiger talisman."

While Zhu Youxiao was lost in thought, Zhang Weixian, Qian Shizhen, and Sun Chuanting suddenly left and returned.

Instructing the eunuch to get back his half of the tiger talisman, Zhu Youxiao muttered.

"The beggar said, Nanhaizi pays you?"

Looking at Sun Chuanting, Zhu Youxiao asked with an evil look.

"Back to Your Majesty, those officers insisted that it was beggars who did it."

Sensing the unkindness in the emperor's words, Sun Chuanting said bravely.

"I can tolerate asking for pay, but I can't bear it when you dare to gather a crowd and kidnap the eunuchs of the supervisory army. According to the imperial edict, all the former Yanshan vanguards, from the general level to the general level, will be beheaded in public, and all those from the small flag level to the lower level will be sent to Shenzong's mausoleum. Go, Sun Chuanting, you and Cao Wenzhao go to oversee the execution."

"Your Majesty, this."

At this time, Sun Chuanting was not the murderous god who dared to insult Shaanxi bureaucrats with an imperial edict.

Hearing the emperor's words, he hesitated.

After all, this is because the imperial court did not pay salaries first.

"The most important thing in an army is military discipline. Even if they go to the Ministry of War to make trouble or even beat the drum, I can tolerate it."

Turning around and walking towards the old Yamen, Zhu Youxiao's voice came faintly.

"Sun Baigu, kindness does not lead to troops."

After hearing the emperor's last words, Sun Chuanchuan suddenly handed over his hand.

"The minister obeys the imperial edict!"

Half an hour later, three thousand tiger guards and a carriage quietly headed towards the capital.At the same time, the rich voice of Jingyang Bell also resounded throughout the capital.

The officials who were working in various yamen were all stunned when they heard this.

It's only been a few days since the last great dynasty, and now it's coming again?
But immediately, the officials put down their work one after another, ordered people to watch the gate, and began to gather towards the Forbidden City.

At this time, the emperor's majesty was not lost, and Jingyang Zhong did not play tricks on his ministers, so no one dared to take Jingyang Zhong seriously.

However, when the ministers entered the Forbidden City, they saw that two people had been tied to a wooden frame in front of the Wenhua Hall.

In front of them, two "craftsmen" and their apprentices were already waiting with food.

Everyone immediately recognized who the tied person was, and everyone frowned.

Feng Sanyuan and Gu Zao.

Why are these two people tied up here, and in this posture, they are obviously planning to execute them in front of Wenhua Hall.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the execution should be observed before the court meeting."

Wei Zhongxian's godson, Li Yongzhen (also known as Li Jinzhong), was leading the Dongchang Tiqi, commanding the Huben guards, and asked the ministers to wait in the designated area in front of the palace.

The six bureaus and nine temples, the Duchayuan, the Liukelang and other outer court yamen, plus the newly reorganized eunuchs of the four inner court offices.

Li Yongzhen didn't even need to press the button. After seeing the ministers and ministers of various government offices arriving, Li Yongzhen took out two more imperial edicts.

"The guilty subject Feng Sanyuan, framed an important border official of the imperial court, committed treason and collaboration with the enemy, embezzled and accepted 3000 taels of bribes, and the amount of unidentified property in his family exceeded 10 taels. Feng Sanyuan was sentenced to death at an early date, all the women in the family were appointed as Jiaofangsi, and all the men over the age of 15 were beheaded. In public display, all males under the age of 15 will be castrated and incorporated into the Pure Army."

"The criminal Gu Zao framed an important border official of the imperial court, embezzled and accepted 3000 taels of bribes, and his family's unexplained property amounted to more than 8 taels. Gu Zao was executed in a hurry, and all the women in his family were appointed as Jiaofangsi, and all the men over 15 years old were beheaded in public, 15 All males under the age of [-] are castrated and incorporated into the Pure Army."

"Chin this."

Feng Sanyuan and Gu Zao, who had already had a premonition that they were going to be chopped alive, heard the imperial edict, and their eyes turned red with excitement. Their mouths were blocked with rags and they hesitated to say what they wanted to say.

"Dark Lord!"

"tyrant!"

"The King of Subjugation!"

Feng Sanyuan was cursing fiercely in his heart at this time.

If this was a world where gods and demons appeared, then Feng Sanyuan would have been filled with resentment and turned into a ghost on the spot after his death.

Together with the civil servants who were watching the execution, they watched with their own eyes as their nine-year-old son ignorantly drank from a bowl given to him by a eunuch and was given a bowl of unknown liquid before being removed in a daze. .

Feng Sanyuan only felt why he didn't die early and why he was greedy for 3000 taels of silver.

Now, he is watching helplessly, the old Feng family is in ruins! ! !
Although they hate eunuchs with their mouths and hearts, they all have one thing in common, that is, they have never seen a castrated eunuch with their own eyes. Now, they have seen it with their own eyes.

What frightened them even more was that the emperor directly killed Feng Sanyuan and Gu Zao to the death.

You must know that according to the Ming Dynasty Law set by Zhu Yuanzhang, all people over 70 years old, under 15 years old, and those with disabilities will be exempted from those who commit treason, make animal poison, collect raw materials, kill three people in a family, and will pardon others. , anyone who commits a crime of imprisonment or less can be redeemed.

Translation: The Ming Dynasty did not kill children under the age of 15.

Take Fang Xiaoru, who was killed by the Ten Clan. After he was killed, Liao Yong, the grandson of Liao Yongzhong, the Marquis of Deqing (the one who buried Wang Jiang of Xiaoming) and his younger brother Liao Ming, collected his remains and buried them in Jubaomen. On the mountain outside, these two people are his students.

Moreover, Fang Xiaoru has descendants.

During the Tianshun period, after the restoration of Zhu Jingmen, with the permission of the emperor, a temple was built for Fang Xiaoru. Fang Xiaoru's descendants were able to return to the Fang family ancestral hall in Ninghai, and then revived and rebuilt the genealogy.

Killing the ten tribes, why haven't they finished killing them?
Moreover, even Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, the chief culprits who caused the Qing Dynasty and the Jingguo disaster, still have descendants.

But now, the newly enthroned little emperor wiped out the two imperial censors alive in front of the Wenhua Hall, which symbolized the civil rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Beside them, Xu Xianchun looked at the desperate expressions of Feng and Gu, feeling a little sad.

This emperor is too cruel.

However, he had little sympathy.

His grandmother was Wanli's aunt and a princess of the Ming Dynasty. She was not on the emperor's side.

But Xu Xianchun didn't notice that behind him, Chitoda Ergen licked the corners of his mouth excitedly.

　It's too late. Don't scold me.
