Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh illegal holy land Zuo Shunmen
The West Warm Pavilion of Ganqing Palace.
It took Emperor Longqing a long time to digest these overly explosive news.
"Come on Master Zhang..." The buzzing head was buzzing, and I felt a little confused. So I habitually asked for help from the outside.
"Long live, Grandpa Zhang entrusted me to bring a message to Your Majesty. The cabinet should not come forward for today's matter. Please ask Your Majesty to speed up the sage!" But Feng Bao said boldly: "Any delay will lead to an uproar..."
"Well." Longqing touched his chin and thought hard.
What does Master Zhang mean? I really want to call him here to ask what happened.
However, since Master Zhang thinks it is not suitable to come forward, of course he can't force him...
Forget it, Master Zhang will definitely not harm me.
So, Emperor Longqing, who couldn't figure it out, simply gave up thinking.
First, follow Master Zhang’s idea and cut the mess quickly.
"How is the injury between both parties?" Long Qing asked barefoot on the carpet, with his knees on his hands, "Has anyone killed anyone?"
"Long live back, both sides have their own injuries, but they will not cause any death." Teng Xiang replied quickly.
Well, because I used too much force when swinging the baton, some people dislocated their shoulders and twisted their waists. By the way, there was also someone who lost their front teeth while chasing someone. After thinking about it, the damage was really considerable.
"Who's the first move?" Long Qing asked again.
"Censor!" The four eunuchs answered in unison.
"Uh..." Emperor Longqing blinked in disbelief. He was actually trying to ask which eunuch took the initiative.
"How is that possible?"
"I have already interrogated the lower-ranking man." Teng Xiang replied with confidence: "It is said that Shi Xing, the official department chief, first knocked Xu Yi from the wine and vinegar to the ground."
"Shi Xing has the skills to kill Xu Yi, and he knocked him out in an instant. The young men were anxious and started fighting with them."
"Really?" Emperor Longqing looked at the eunuchs suspiciously.
Although he is close to the middle-level officials around him, it does not mean that Wuwang has no judgment.
How do you think the censor’s behavior is unreasonable?
~~
"How dare I deceive Your Majesty?" Seeing that the emperor became suspicious, Teng Xiang hurriedly swears to heaven, and then whispered: "Oh, right, there is another thing. The young men took sticks to argue."
When censors enter the palace, they have to search their bodies, so they are naturally unarmed.
"Hi." Emperor Longqing kicked Teng Xiang to the ground and cursed with a smile: "You old guy is not honest anymore. After all, isn't it yours, who ambushed him in the Huiji Gate?"
"The wise and wise are not your majesty!" Teng Xiang quickly got up, took Feng Bao and bowed and said, "I can't escape the wise eyes of long live my life when I waited for these little thoughts."
"Stop doing this." Long Qing smiled proudly, then looked at the eunuchs and said in a plain tone: "Say, are you instructing me?"
"Then I absolutely dare not!" Everyone hurriedly swore to the sky, denying it, firmly denied it beforehand, and even more so that they had provided convenience and support to the people below.
"You have a little bit of it." Long Qing snorted, stood up and said, "The palace is not a place to go wild, and no one can be an exception."
"Yes." Everyone buried their heads deep on the carpet and exchanged glances with each other. In the end, Meng Chong was even more fierce, and suddenly looked up and shouted to the emperor:
"But that's Zuo Shunmen who is not illegal to beat people to death, Your Majesty!"
"Huh?" Emperor Longqing was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the original name of Huiji Sect was called "Zuoshun Sect"!
Zuoshunmen is a magical place. Since the Tumubao Incident, the angry civil servants killed Wang Zhen’s three accomplices here, and it has become a lawless place to kill traitors and slanderous officials.
The officials were unhappy and could swear at Zuoshun's door, just scolding Emperor Didu for being unwilling to care. Moreover, even if someone was beaten to death here, according to the previous example, they would not be investigated.
During the Jiajing period, the little Pavilion Master Yang Shen planned to use this extra-legal land to ambush two leaders of the "Shishi Sect".
Unfortunately, Zhang Gong learned the news in advance and did not dare to go to work.
Gui E was ambushed, but she was a trainee. When things were not good, she rushed to a hundred meters and escaped from the encirclement...
Later, Yang Shen took advantage of this place to the extreme and organized all officials to kneel down and cry at Zuoshunmen, almost driving Emperor Jiajing crazy.
Even if Emperor Jiajing overturned the table and ordered the court to bend Yang Shen and others, they would have caught them outside the Meridian Gate and executed them, and did not take action directly at Zuoshun Gate.
Traditional things must be respected...
However, later, Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan and no one lived in the Forbidden City, and everyone gradually forgot about the situation of Zuoshunmen.
~~
After hearing Meng Chong's reminder, Longqing's anger disappeared in an instant.
Yes, it was the civil servants who kept saying that they would not break the law when they beat people to death in Zuoshunmen, which created this "fine tradition".
You can’t just allow the state officials to set fires and the people to light the lights, right?
It is not illegal for civil servants to beat people, but does it violate the law for middle officials to beat people?
That's not true...
"Okay, I think it's your plan."
Long Qing raised his foot and kicked him weakly. The big men laughed embarrassedly, but they only bit him to death. It was the impulsive act of the people below.
Emperor Longqing walked back and forth on the carpet with his hands behind his back, and finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice:
"The officials were resentful and gathered to ambush the censors. Although Zuoshun Sect once said that killing people was not worth their lives, Zuoshun Sect has now been renamed Huiji Sect, and the so-called tradition has become history."
"Therefore, we cannot all refute the tradition, and we must severely punish them to serve as a warning to others." As he said that, the emperor looked at Teng Xiang and others and said, "The official in charge of the Sili, and the internal officials arrested and interrogated the perpetrators. The main culprit was tied to the inner factory court for sixty rods and sent to the army; the accomplice was thirty rods to observe the effect... Can you accept it?"
"The twenty-fourth game is all your servants, so naturally you can let Your Majesty fall, and there is no complaint."
The members of the Silijian corrected their attitude first, and then said angrily: "It's just that they can't slap, and the censors also took action..."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong, who had been out of the matter, also said to the emperor in secret: "The Six Chronicles are becoming more and more distorted. If Your Majesty only puts the board on the eunuch's butt this time, they will lose our attention."
"Don't be alarmist..." Long Qing couldn't help but frowned.
"Your Majesty is so kind!" Cook Meng shouted: "I will give an example. Qing Yishui came from the six departments, but none of them came from the Censorate!"
"Can Zhao and his son have the ability to control the Censorate?" Teng Xiang also shouted.
"They two little sesame officials are of course not that capable..." Feng Bao said fatally with one blow: "But there is a father and son who have the ability to control the six subjects!"
Li Fang actually admired Mr. Xu, but seeing that the general situation was like this, how could he dare to sing the opposite tune with everyone? He kept silent.
