Ming Dynasty 1566

Chapter 93

The two guards escorting Yang Jinshui were called in. At this time, they were lying on their stomachs outside the door of the monastery, with their heads pressed against the brick floor. Only their broad backs and high buttocks were blocked by the threshold.

On the brick floor of the jingshe, messy papers were scattered everywhere. Looking carefully, one could vaguely see that some of those papers were confessions of Zheng Michang and He Maocai, some of them were confessions of Jiang Qianhu and Xu Qianhu, and some were of Tian Youlu. , Wang Laotou's testimony, some of which were densely signed testimony with the names of two hundred soldiers.

It can be seen how furious Jiajing was after reading these confessions and testimonies!
"Are you all there during the trial?" Jiajing had already sat back on the futon at this time, his voice was as cold as wind.

The two brocade guards outside the Jingshe door were still lying on their stomachs like stones.

The older Jin Yiwei replied: "Returning to Lord Long Live, there were three trials last time, and all the servants are here."

Jiajing: "In one case, why did Zhao Zhenji and Tan Lun send one confession, and Hai Rui and Wang Yongji sent another confession?"

That Jin Yiwei: "Going back to Lord Long Live, at that time Zhao Zhenji and Tan Lun tried Zheng Michang, and Hai Rui and Wang Yongji tried He Maocai. Looking back, the confessions of the two people were a pair, and the caliber was different. Zhao Zhenji and Tan Lun were unwilling at the time. Send up the confession of Hai Ruishen. That Hai Rui said that the "Da Ming Law" contains clear text, and the confession of the imperial court cannot be changed. If it is changed, it will be deceiving the emperor. Zhao Zhenji and Tan Lun can't say no to him, so they have to discuss it with the slaves , don’t send the confession to the Secretary of General Administration or the Cabinet, but directly to the Supervisor of Rituals. The Supervisor of Rituals really sent back the confession made by Hai Rui and ordered Zhejiang to retrial.”

Jiajing's face became better, and he glanced at the papers all over the floor, and asked again: "During the retrial, why didn't Zhao Zhenji and Tan Lun not try, and you didn't look at it, or let that Hai Rui retry?"

That Jin Yiwei: "Going back to Lord Long Live, the slaves can't know about these situations. Because the slaves were already on the way to escort Yang Jinshui to Beijing during the retrial. The confession for this retrial is that the postman sent by Zhao Zhenji chased him to the Luhe Posthouse last night. Those who have only been handed over to the servants, have the servants pass it on to the Chief of Rites."

It was only then that Jiajing realized that his mind had been a little dizzy, and he asked the wrong question, but thanks to his wrong words, he was able to continue to ask the wrong question: "Since I told you to send it to the chief inspector, why didn't the chief inspector take it apart for a look? "

The Jin Yiwei who answered didn't know how to reply, and the other Jin Yiwei who hadn't replied took up the conversation: "Returning to Long Live Lord, Eunuch Lu is not here, and Eunuch Chen wanted to take it apart to look at it, but was stopped by Eunuch Huang."

Wrong question actually asked this detail, Jiajing's eyes flashed a light: "Chen Eunuch wants to see it?"

That Jinyiwei: "Going back to Lord Long Live, Eunuch Chen said that in the past, the supervisors of the ceremonies had to read the memorials before presenting them to the emperor. It was only because Eunuch Huang said that if Eunuch Lu was there, he would not dare to make such memorials." Unwrap it without authorization and take a look first. Only then did Eunuch Chen ask Eunuch Huang to present it directly to Lord Long Live."

Jiajing was silent, and thought for a while, but asked the simplest question: "Where's Yang Jinshui?"

That Jin Yiwei: "Going back to Lord Long Live, Yang Jinshui is very crazy. Eunuch Chen asked two imperial physicians to test him, saying that we need to see whether he is really crazy or not."

Jiajing: "Yang Jinshui was escorted by you. Do you think he is really crazy or fake?"

The two Jinyi guards lay on the ground and glanced at each other secretly, and this time they replied together: "Not only the slaves, Zhao Zhongcheng and the others know that Yang Jinshui is indeed crazy."

Jiajing's eyes were a little dazed.

A guard in Jinyi: "Long Live Lord Qizuo, we discussed it when we came here, it's best to let the imperial physician in the palace show him first, so as not to surprise the holy car by bringing in some unclean things."

"Bring Yang Jinshui immediately!" Jiajing stood up suddenly, his eyes sparkling, "I'd like to see where the monster he brought!"

The two guards in Jinyi kowtowed loudly outside the door of the jingshe: "Yes."

Before standing up, Jiajing said again: "Ask Huang Jin to bring him here alone."

The two Jin Yiwei had no choice but to kowtow again: "Yes."

At this time, in the supervisor's room, Yang Jinshui's shirt was stripped off again, and he sat on a chair topless.

Two imperial physicians, one holding a cloth bag with a silver needle in it, and the other holding a roll of ignited mugwort, stopped on both sides of his body.

An imperial physician: "May I ask the two father-in-laws to hold him down?"

Chen Hong: "The real crazy and the fake crazy are just to watch him move. You just do it."

The two imperial doctors glanced at each other, still worried that he would go crazy, so they had to move their hands cautiously.

The imperial doctor who performed the acupuncture took out a three-inch long silver needle and stuck it into the acupuncture point on the back of Yang Jinshui's neck, and stroked slowly, the silver needle was completely inserted, but Yang Jinshui did not respond and remained motionless.

Another imperial physician blew on Ai Xiang, a ball of red fire burned down her chest, and a puff of smoke came out, that imperial physician immediately stepped aside.

All eyes were fixed on Yang Jinshui's chest, but there was a circle of fire marks on Yang Jinshui's chest, but he still didn't respond and remained motionless.

"It's crazy." The eunuch Bingbi who had been silent sitting on the rightmost chair couldn't help but muttered to himself at this moment.

Chen Hong stared at Zhuzhu immediately: "It's too early to say whether it's crazy or not. Then give him a piercing and burn it!"

The two imperial physicians had no choice but to give Yang Jinshui needles and burns.

Chen Hong stretched out his hands to hold the shiny black purple sand pot on the tea table beside him, put the spout into his mouth, and looked at Yang Jinshui who was being pierced and scorched.

The two Jin Yiwei went to the door and knelt down.

The elder Jin Yiwei: "Report to Eunuch Chen, the emperor announces that Eunuch Yang is going to Yuxi Palace."

"What did the emperor say? Say it again?" Chen Hong stood up abruptly, not believing his ears.

The older Jin Yiwei replied: "Go back to Eunuch Chen, the emperor ordered Eunuch Huang to take Yang Jinshui to Yuxi Palace alone, and the emperor will personally interrogate him."

The words could not be answered more clearly, Chen Hong was stunned for a while.

Huang Jin, Eunuch Shi and another eunuch holding a pen all stood up quietly.

Huang Jin squinted at Chen Hong: "If Eunuch Chen has no other orders, our family will take Yang Jinshui away."

Originally, he wanted to find out some clues from Yang Jinshui, but unexpectedly at this moment, the emperor personally interrogated him, and asked Huang Jin to take him there!Chen Hong was really unwilling, and looked fiercely at Yang Jinshui who was sitting on the chair.

Sitting there, Yang Jinshui looked like a hedgehog.There were silver needles all over his head and body, and there were traces of incense burnt by the moxa fire everywhere, but he still didn't respond at all, just sat there motionless.

"Fake it, put it on!" Chen Hong patted the armrest of the chair irritably, "I tell you, Long Live Lord is a fairy descended from the sky. If you can pretend here, you will have to show your original shape when you arrive at Long Live God! Pull out the needle, Put on your clothes and take him to see His Majesty!"

Those confessions and testimonies scattered all over the ground in the Jingshen Abode of Yuxi Palace have been cleaned up at some point.

Joss candles were lit on the altars of the jingshe, and directly above were the gods of the Taishang Daojun, and on the bottom were three gods.

The sign in the middle reads "Lei Yuanyang Miao, the leader of the Qing Dynasty in the Lingxiao, Fei Yuan Zhenjun"!
The sign on the left reads "Nine Heavens Hongjiao Puji Shengling Zhang Yinyang Gonggu Dao Siren Ziji Immortal Weng Yiyang Zhenren Yuan Xuyuan Yinghua Fumo Loyal and Filial Emperor"!
The sign on the right reads "Taishang Daluo Tianxian Ziji Longevity Sage Wisdom Zhao Lingtong Yuan Zheng Ying Yuxu Chief Palm Wulei Dazhen Yuandu Jing Wanshou Emperor"!
These three plaques are all the alchemists like Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen discussed together, and said that they are divine titles bestowed on Jiajing by God.At this time, they were all invited out to make offerings under the Lord Taishang Daojun's card.Jiajing has long believed that he, the True Lord Feiyuan, the Emperor Zhongxiao, and the Emperor Wanshou are in charge of Yin and Yang merits and demerits.At this time, he changed into a Taoist robe, wearing a round crown made of vanilla, and sat on the futon in front of the altar.

Yang Jinshui was kneeling on the ground three steps away from him.

The emperor secretly interrogated such a lunatic alone, and Huang Jin himself could not come in. If Sheng Jia was shocked, it would be a big deal. Thanks to his painstaking efforts, when Yang Jinshui was brought here, he secretly asked the execution eunuch of Dongchang to be in front of him. Tricks and feet were done on the body, and I don't know which acupuncture points were tapped. He knelt and kept his body upright, so that he would not go crazy and startle Sheng Jia, but he could also kneel upright and face Jiajing.Another unique feature is that his kneeling position is just so that his upturned eyes are looking at the tablet on the altar.This can make Jiajing believe that he is subdued under his own god name.

The incense candles on the altar are all specially made, and the incense in the copper incense burner next to it is also specially made. The doors and windows are closed tightly, and the room is full of strange fragrances, which give people a feeling of entering a fairyland in terms of smell.

Sure enough, Yang Jinshui's nostrils moved slowly, inhaling the tangy fragrance one after another, and he felt something.

Jiajing also entered the state, two bright lights flashed in his eyes, and he looked straight at Yang Jinshui.

Yang Jinshui's eyes became less vacant, and the words on those tablet tablets gradually became clearer in his eyes.

Jiajing picked up the chime and pestle beside him, and knocked on the copper chime.

Hearing the clear and long sound of the copper chime, Yang Jinshui's body moved a little, and his eyes that had been dazed all this time also moved a little.

"Did you see the memorial tablet?" Jiajing's voice seemed to come from far away, reaching Yang Jinshui's ears.

"God..." Yang Jinshui squeezed out a word between his teeth.

Jiajing: "Who did you see?"

"Lingxiao Shangqing..." Yang Jinshui didn't seem to be speaking by himself, but it seemed that another voice said these four words from inside him.

Jiajing's eyes became brighter: "Who is sitting in Lingxiao?"

Yang Jinshui was still thinking foolishly.

"Who is sitting?" Jiajing's voice seemed to be getting closer when it came from outside the sky.

Yang Jinshui saw the words "True Lord Fei Yuan" in his eyes, and mechanically said these four words: "True Lord Fei Yuan..."

Jiajing: "Who is Zhenjun Feiyuan?"

Yang Jinshui's eyes moved slowly, and he said four more words: "Loyal and filial emperor..."

Jiajing: "Who is the loyal and filial emperor?"

Yang Jinshui's eyes moved to the tablet on the right: "Emperor Longevity..."

"Who are you!" Jiajing suddenly asked sharply.

"Who am I..." Yang Jinshui repeated Jiajing's question in a murmur, looking up with empty eyes, as if he was thinking, or looking for that "I" in the air.

Jiajing picked up the chime and pestle beside him again, and knocked on the copper chime.

This sound seemed to wake up Yang Jinshui's memory, and the sound of the copper bell ringing around the beam was buzzing in his ears. He said to himself: ""Guangling San"...I am "Guangling San"..."

Jiajing's face darkened: "What "Guangling San"?"

Although Yang Jinshui's eyes were still distracted, he slowly looked at Jiajing: "My qin... I am Shen Yishi, and I have grievances..."

Jiajing couldn't help but shudder: "How dare you come here?"

Yang Jinshui: "Eunuch Yang brought me here, I was harmed by Yang Jinshui..."

Jiajing froze and stared at him: "How did Yang Jinshui harm you?"

Yang Jinshui: "He asked me to weave silk, a lot of silk..."

Jiajing: "Why does weaving silk harm you?"

Yang Jinshui: "Too many, I can't wear it, the emperor can't wear it, many people can't wear it..."

Jiajing: "Who wore them all?"

Yang Jinshui: "Too many, I can't wear them..."

Jiajing also got into the role: "Who did you wear it for? Tell me, and Zhenjun Feiyuan, Emperor Zhongxiao, and Emperor Wanshou will forgive you."

"Too many..." Yang Jinshui looked up vainly and thought, "Shangyi Supervisor... Scarf and Hat Bureau... Needlework Bureau..."

Jiajing: "Say the person's name!"

Yang Jinshui: "Zheng Michang...He Maocai...and Mr. Yan Ge, Mr. Xiao Ge...too many...all wear my clothes and use my money..."

Jiajing: "Where's Hu Zongxian?"

Yang Jinshui: "Hu Zongxian? Hu Zongxian is not from the Weaving Bureau..."

Jiajing: "Where is Lu Fang?"

Yang Jinshui: "Who is Lu Fang?"

Jiajing looked at him closely: "Yang Jinshui and the others talked about the old ancestors, you don't know who invited you to be a sixth-rank top wearer?"

Yang Jinshui was thinking again: "With him...with him...he died 100 years ago..."

Jiajing was still suspicious, and stared at him closely: "You have mentioned so many people, why didn't you mention Yang Jinshui!"

Yang Jinshui: "Yang Jinshui is also dead. He killed me, and I have already taken him away..."

Jiajing stared closely at his eyes, trying to see the truth from his eyes.

Yang Jinshui finally showed a very frightened look, moved suddenly, and knocked his head violently on the ground: "Principal Lord Feiyuan, spare your life! Emperor Zhongxiao, spare your life! Emperor Longevity, spare your life! I dare not come, I will leave immediately, and I will not come again!" I dare not come anymore..." The other end knocked on the ground countless times, and there was a bang bang, and there were bloodstains on the ground!
Jiajing hurriedly picked up the chime and pestle, and knocked three times on the copper chime!

The sound of beating the chime was so rapid that Huang Jin was startled: "Quick! Go in and save me!"

The two eunuchs guarding the main hall jumped up, pushed open the door and rushed in.

Huang Jin hurriedly grabbed his robe and rushed in.

The two eunuchs of the punishment department rushed to the door of the jingshe, and with a gust of wind, they jumped into the jingshe like two big birds to pounce on Yang Jinshui, but the leaping figures were still in the air and immediately knew that they had committed a big taboo——Jiajing two Dao shot at them angrily!In the blink of an eye, they caught a glimpse of Yang Jinshui in the air and did not commit any crimes, they just desperately met each other on the brick floor, so there was no reason to jump over in the jingshe, and they violated the rules of disrespect!Fortunately, the two of them are also masters of criminal punishment. When they fell, they retracted the ten claws that were spread in the air at the same time, and retracted their legs at the same time. With a bang, they landed on all four knees at the same time, knelt on both sides behind Yang Jinshui, grabbed his arms one by one and pulled them back. Yang Jinshui's head was pulled off the ground, and their own heads fell on the bricks. on the ground.

"Long live! Long live!" Huang Jin also rushed in. He didn't see what happened just now, and ran to block Jiajing!

The two eunuchs of the Criminal Division held Yang Jinshui's arms tightly and knelt there.

Yang Jinshui's head was limp on the side of his shoulder at this time, he had already fainted, his head was covered with blood, and there was a huge pool of blood on the ground!

Only then did Huang Jin turn her head in horror, and looked anxiously at Jiajing: "Master was shocked, did the holy car..."

Jiajing's face has regained a dignified calm, looking at Huang Jin's anxious expression, a trace of pity gradually appeared in his eyes: "Yang Jinshui was taken away by a ghost..."

Just this one look, this one sentence of compassion made Huang Jin's suppressed tears well up, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Gu, let down the grace, God is punishing him... Master can't do this anymore My servant is sad..."

Of course Jiajing knew that there was a fateful friendship between them, and he also knew that these slaves were still loyal to him no matter how unsatisfied they were. Huang Jin's sobbing reply was actually pleading for Yang Jinshui. After thinking about it, he said: "Heaven has punished him, but I will not punish him. Ask these two servants to send him to Chaotian Temple immediately. With Master Lan and the others around, the ghosts will not dare to pester him anymore."

Huang Jin immediately kowtowed three times on the ground: "I thank you for Yang Jinshui's grace!" After kowtowing, he knelt there and turned to the two eunuchs in charge of punishment, "Have you heard the will of the master, Long Live?"

The two eunuchs still put their heads on the brick floor: "Yes, the servants have heard it."

Huang Jin: "Send it immediately and give it to Master Lan."

The two eunuchs of the Criminal Division kowtowed their heads: "Yes." One of them held Yang Jinshui in both hands, bowed his waist and lowered his head effortlessly, and retreated out of the door of the Vihara.

"Lu Fang." Jiajing looked at Huang Jin and called out suddenly.

Huang Jin knelt there and was turning his head to watch the two eunuchs carrying Yang Jinshui out. Hearing Jiajing's call, he shuddered and turned around in a hurry: "Master, Lu and Eunuch Lu are in Yongling ..."

Jiajing still looked at him: "I know. What time is it?"

Huang Jin: "Back to the master, it's not the end of the time to apply."

Jiajing: "You don't have to go back to the Supervisor of Rites. As soon as it gets dark, go out from the harem and call Lu Fang back."

Huang Jin hardly believed that this was true, and stared blankly at Jiajing: "Master, master asked the servant to call Eunuch Lu back to the palace?"
