Chapter 565 Execution of Sun Zhixie and Chen Mingxia

Sun Zhixie didn't even bother to listen to what Yuan Jixian read earlier about what crimes Sun Zhixie had committed and what evil deeds he had committed.

With a thick skin, he no longer cared about fame or anything.

Sun Zhixie just wanted to listen carefully to the last sentence.

He wanted to hear from Yuan Jixian how much he was going to be sentenced to.

Is it two thousand five hundred dollars?

Or was he only sentenced to two thousand knives because he was not named Xia Gao in his official position?

Maybe because he was fairly honest, he was only sentenced to a thousand dollars?

"The crime of shaving one's hair and making clothes easier is heinous. If the captives rule the world, this crime will undoubtedly disrupt our Chinese civilization. Not rebelling with three thousand knives is not enough to prove the evil! Therefore, the punishment for multiple crimes will be five thousand!" knife!"

Five thousand dollars!

Sun Zhixie was dumbfounded.

Sun Zhixie couldn't believe his ears.

Chen Mingxia, who was kneeling beside him, also heard clearly at this time.

However, Chen Mingxia naturally remembered that Sun Zhixie laughed at him just now.

Therefore, Chen Mingxia didn't miss this opportunity to ridicule Sun Zhixie, so he pretended not to hear clearly and asked him:

"Brother Long Fu, how many knives have you been sentenced to?"

Sun Zhixie wept with a mournful face: "Five thousand, woohoo! Why is he taller than Azig! Isn't it because he shaves his hair and makes clothes easier, as for?"

"To be honest, it is indeed right! Five thousand dollars is not wronged!"

Chen Mingxia started talking and said with a smile:

"Don't you think it's ugly to drag a rat's tail behind your head? Even if you made me, Chen Mingxia, have to do this, it made my most beloved concubine despise me as ugly."

"What qualifications do you have to make a joke! Back then, if you hadn't suppressed me, would I have chosen to do that? If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be able to take the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites!"

Sun Zhixie yelled at Chen Mingxia directly.

"No matter what I said, I never suggested that Jianlu shave his hair and make clothes easier. You are a heinous traitor. If you were cut into five thousand knives, your death would not be a pity!"

Not to be outdone, Chen Mingxia yelled at Sun Zhixie.

Yuan Jixian looked at where these two people were arguing, he didn't understand, he didn't understand where these two people got their sense of superiority, they were both traitors who betrayed their family and country, and who was more noble than the other.

"The hour has come, execution!"

Yuan Jixian looked at the sundial and finally gave the order for execution.

Chen Mingxia was first dragged to the execution rack, and began to receive the punishment of Ling Chi.

But before the executioner executed Chen Mingxia, Chen Mingxia had an orgasm and screamed.

When the executioner really started to cut Chen Mingxia's first piece of meat, Chen Mingxia screamed even more miserable, and kept shouting:

"Stop, stop, please, please, stop! I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't join Man Qing, I should go south with the retinue, if I go south with the retinue, I can also become a court Old, woo woo!"

Sun Zhixie didn't expect Chen Mingxia to cry so miserably at the very beginning. He couldn't help thinking that he would be cut five thousand knives, so he couldn't help but tremble:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Ming, I don't want to shave my hair and change clothes, I really regret it, please, please forgive me!"

The howling of Chen Mingxia and Sun Zhixie continued like this for four or five days.

Yuan Jixian has been presiding over such things in the past few months. From the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty to the Han officials of the Qing Dynasty to ordinary bannermen, he was responsible for the executions one by one.

And in October of the 23rd year of Chongzhen, all the talents related to Jianlu in the entire Beijing city were executed.

At this time, the city of Beijing was officially lifted, allowing the people to leave the city freely.

However, the punishment of Jianlu and his Han thieves has not come to an end, and the officers and soldiers of the Guards are still sweeping up the remnants of Jianlu in other state capitals in the pass.

After occupying Daming Mansion, Zhending Mansion, and Baoding Mansion, the Second Corps of the Third Army of the Guards executed all the bannermen in these cities.

The Seventh Army of the Guards did not let go of a bannerman after occupying Tongguan and Xi'an.

By November of the 23rd year of Chongzhen, the remnants of Jianlu in the pass were basically wiped out.

Officials from the Grand Marshal's Mansion, the Cabinet, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple also moved back to Beijing from Nanjing.

Not only that, but all or part of the Central Bank of Ming Dynasty, the Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ordnance Institute of the Ming Dynasty were also relocated to Beijing.

This is a huge project, and its scale is equivalent to a relocation of the capital, almost equivalent to moving the political center and economic center of the empire back to Beijing.

Moreover, this project started shortly after the recovery of Beijing, but the relocation has not yet been fully completed.

On November 23, the [-]rd year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian made a call.

This was the first great dynasty since the recovery of the northern capital, and it was also the first gathering of monarchs and ministers after the Ming Dynasty reunified the country, and its significance was particularly significant.

Today's Ming Dynasty suddenly seems to have just founded the country.

Politically, many of the original systems have been almost overthrown, and many new systems have emerged. The most typical change is the emergence of a Grand Marshal's Mansion, which took back the military power controlled by civilian officials from the Ministry of War.

At this time, the Ministry of War almost only played a role of maintaining domestic stability and managing logistics for the Grand Marshal's House.

In addition, the cabinet, especially the chief minister of the cabinet, is not only the de facto prime minister, but even the prime minister recognized by the system.

Zhu Youjian said in the name of Taizu's granting a dream that Zhu Yuanzhang had realized the indispensable significance of prime minister power and used the system to recognize the power of the cabinet's chief assistant to govern the administration.

In many cases, the inability to carry out many reforms in Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with institutional defects.

In an agricultural country with less military pressure, it is inevitable that the civil servants will grow bigger, but it does not mean that the civil servants are not enterprising from the beginning, but the enterprising civil servants do not have the power to be recognized by the empire. Implement reforms.

Even Zhang Juzheng had to collude with the eunuchs and unite the harem to seek the support of the emperor before he was able to implement the Qingzhang Tianmu and other policies.

But now Zhu Youjian has given absolute administrative power to the chief assistant of the cabinet.

That is to say, the chief assistant of the cabinet can recommend officials from officials, households, rites, soldiers, workers, and other administrative institutions to form cabinet members to represent Zhu Youjian in handling the daily government affairs of the empire.

But the final judgment is still in the hands of the emperor Zhu Youjian.

However, if it is impossible for the emperor to judge so many government affairs by himself, there will naturally be a supervisor of rituals as an agent.

In modern times, the Lijian is equivalent to Zhu Youjian's secretariat, making decisions for Zhu Youjian in the name of Zhu Youjian.

The cabinet is responsible to the emperor Zhu Youjian, and the emperor is still higher than the cabinet.

In any case, the chief assistant of the cabinet is no longer the emperor's secretary in essence, just like the eunuchs and eunuchs.

Now he can be regarded as the professional manager of the empire and the prime minister of the empire, so he can justifiably control the administrative power of the empire to implement the political and economic reform goals he wants to achieve.

Moreover, the chief assistant of the cabinet no longer has to go to great lengths to collude with the officials of the six ministries to fulfill his political ideals. Now, except for the Ministry of Punishment, all the other six ministries are recommended by him, and naturally they all belong to him. He also doesn't have to spend energy on party struggles, as long as the emperor appoints him as the chief assistant of the cabinet, he can have the opportunity to show his political blueprint.
