Text Volume 1 Dismal Business_Chapter 40 Yang Ho, a death row prisoner

Zhu You listened to Luo Yangxing's disposal plan, but his brows furrowed, and after listening to it, he said dissatisfiedly: "Confused, the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian by the DPRK and China has just subsided today. By telling the world about this case, do you want to start a party struggle between the DPRK and China again? ”

Luo Yangxing's heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately replied: "The minister has no such intention. And Cui Yingyuan and Xu Xianchun, who were kneeling on the ground, were happy in their hearts.

Zhu Youzhen was silent for a long time before he sighed and said: "The plight of Wu Yangchun's family is worthy of sympathy, and he ordered Yousi Haosheng to collect the remains and return to his hometown for burial. All the people in this case were rehabilitated, and Wu Yongyu, Wu Fengyuan, and Wu Bangzai were immediately released and returned home. As for the confiscated property and Kiba, we will return it to the bereaved family one by one. Tian Ergeng was fined 10,000 taels of silver, removed from the governor of the Houjun Governor's Office, and demoted to 100 households in brocade clothes, Wu Kongjia, Cui Yingyuan, and Xu Xianchun were each fined 2,000 taels of silver. Don't make a big deal about it, you see? ”

As Luo Yangxing accepted the order, Zhu Youzhen skipped the topic, he glanced at the people in the room and asked, "Who is in charge of Jinyiwei's edict?" ”

Xu Xianchun immediately replied cautiously: "It's Weichen who is managing." ”

After Zhu Youzhen looked at him, he said to the others: "Everyone else should go down, I want to talk to him." ”

Under Zhu Youzhen's order, several Jinyi Guard officers withdrew from the duty room, leaving only Wang Chengen to accompany Zhu Youzhen and Xu Xianchun.

Cui Yingyuan, who exited the room, was obviously in a good mood, and Luo Yangxing looked at Cui Yingyuan's proud appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little bad. Commander Liu Yingxian said with some confusion beside him: "What does Your Majesty think, it is obvious that Wei Zhongxian and his party can be wiped out, but when the matter comes, he will let it go gently." In this way, I am afraid that the word "virtuous nephew" and your temporary appointment will not be so easy to remove. ”

Luo, who was originally in a somewhat depressed mood, was suddenly inexplicably angry by Liu Ying's words. However, the education he received since childhood made him sober up immediately, he glanced at Liu Yingxing beside him with dissatisfaction, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, how can it be measured by my generation, Commander Liu should be cautious, don't just talk about happiness and cause trouble." ”

was stabbed by Luo Yangxing, and Liu Yingxian suddenly resigned. But he didn't think so. Liu Yingxian looked at Luo's young back, and thought with some jealousy, "If you hadn't voted for a good baby, why would you be so arrogant in front of me today." ”

On the other side of the corridor outside the room, Cui Yingyuan was talking to Sun Yunhe in a whisper, looking at the appearance of the two, as if they were celebrating that they had escaped.

Not long after, Xu Xianchun walked out of the room with Zhu Youzhen, and when several Jinyi Wei officers wanted to come forward to salute, Zhu Youzhen just waved his hand to stop them from stepping forward to salute, and left with Xu Xianchun.

"That's the place to go to the Imperial Prison, what is Xu Xianchun taking His Majesty there for?" Liu Yingxun couldn't help but say. Sun Yunhe reacted quickly and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Wang Chengen, who said expressionlessly: "Sun Qianhu, you should stay here, and no one is allowed to approach the edict." ”

Sun Yunhe nodded respectfully in agreement, and when he looked up at Wang Chengen's back as he turned to leave, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. At this time, Cui Yingyuan walked up to him and whispered: "Sun Qianhu, although Father-in-law Wei has fallen, we still have to continue to live." In the eyes of outsiders, we are all remnants of the eunuch party, and if we don't join forces, I'm afraid there are many people who want our lives. ”

Sun Yunhe turned to Cui Yingyuan and said, "Although this is good, it is not as good as the first emperor today." Although it seems to be generous, from the three major palace cases to the Huangshan case, they only ask about interests, not human feelings. Although His Majesty dealt with Father-in-law Wei and Governor Tian Du lightly, His Majesty just did not want to start a party dispute in the DPRK and China again. At such a time, we form a party to protect ourselves, isn't this a provocation to Your Majesty? What's more, when Gonggong Wei was here, we never had a party. Could it be that when Grandpa Wei goes, I will be able to form a party later? When I saw it, it must have been a scene of scattered sand, exposing each other's shortcomings. ”

Sun Yunhe's words made Cui Yingyuan's somewhat feverish mind calm down, and he silently thanked Sun Yunhe.

Zhu Youzhen followed Xu Xianchun into the innermost courtyard of Jinyiwei, this building made of blue bricks and stone masonry was the edict that frightened the civil officials. There are no flowers and trees in the courtyard, only a training ground made of loess, and on the east and west sides of the front yard are two rows of transepts, each of which is stationed a team of brocade guards and prison guards and prison officials.

Seeing Xu Xianchun bring people in, a small flag immediately came up to interrogate, but after seeing Chongzhen behind him, he immediately knelt down.

Seeing Xu Xianchun waving his hand to let Jinyiwei retreat, Zhu Youzhen just said lightly: "The management is not bad." ”

After walking through the front yard into the Imperial Prison, Zhu Youzhen found that the prison had another floor underground. Going down the stone steps, Zhu Youzhen felt that he was trembling slightly.

Compared to the hundreds of cells above, there are about 2 or 30 cells below, but the area is nearly twice as large as above. The cell below was also equipped with a low table, as well as books, oil lamps, paper, pens, and so on.

After listening to Xu Xianchun's introduction, the cells here are only for officials above the second grade, and officials below the second rank can only be crowded together with others above. Because the officials above the second rank are all remembered in the emperor's heart, and it is not easy to say when the officials will be reinstated, so their prison cells are sent to be cleaned regularly, and if there are any requirements in life, Jinyiwei must also try to meet them. Otherwise, these civil officials may not be able to deal with Jinyi Wei after they go out, but it is still no problem to deal with a few jailers.

Xu Xianchun stopped at the door of a cell, he motioned to the accompanying jailer to open the door of the cell, and then said, "Your Majesty, this is the cell of the sinner Yang Hao. ”

Wang Chengen took the first step in, looked around the cell, and then exited the cell and said, "Your Majesty is still clean inside, please let Your Majesty in." ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't care and ordered a few people to wait outside, and stepped into the cell. As soon as he entered, he saw a thin old man with gray hair getting up from his bed and bowing to him.

"Yang Jingluo, please be polite, please sit down." Zhu Youzhen hurriedly stepped forward to support Yang Hao, he was not used to accepting such an old person to kneel and bow to him.

Yang Hao got up and sat down, he looked at Zhu Youzhen with somewhat cloudy eyes and said, "The criminal minister is panicking, I don't know that Your Majesty is here, what is the so-called matter?" ”
