Liu Jingting noticed the unbearable look on Chongzhen's face, and he deliberately shouted loudly to the general banner of the Jinyi Guard, who was responsible for copying the Feng family: "How can it be so noisy in the back house, is there a sergeant who is unruly to the family of the prisoner?" ”

Since becoming the chief writer of the Daming Times, Liu Jingting has participated in various reports on the internal rectification of Jinyiwei, so Jinyiwei has already understood that the status of the Daming Times is basically similar to that of the former East Factory.

This Jinyi Wei Zongqi naturally didn't dare to let Liu Jingting, who came to inspect, grab the handle, and he immediately asked people to find out what was going on.

After a while, two trembling women were pulled to the front yard, and a brocade guard Xiaoqi stepped forward to report: "The lowly led people to arrest Feng Susu, the daughter of the criminal officer, and as a result, a woman who claimed to be Feng Susu was caught in the backyard, and the sergeant guarding the back door alley caught a woman who escaped from Feng's mansion, also claiming to be Feng Susu. The lowly office is being interrogated, so it disturbs the adults. ”

Chunxiang, who was originally a little speechless and was just as frightened as Feng Susu, looked at Feng Susu's appearance of the six gods and no master around her, and she didn't know where she got her courage.

She suddenly stopped in front of the dull-eyed young lady and said, "I am the Feng Susu you want to arrest, this person is just a maid in my house, don't arrest the wrong person." ”

She was forcibly dragged back from the back door alley, which made Feng Susu a little discouraged, and she held her head in her hands to separate those vicious Jinyi Guards from her questioning, but she didn't expect Haruka to assume her identity.

Although Chunxiang's tone in front of her was very firm, Feng Susu, who was next to Chunxiang's body, could completely feel the uncontrollable tremor on her body, which made Feng Susu finally return to thinking.

Feng Susu, who calmed down, gently pushed away Chunxiang who was blocking in front of her, and said to Liu Jingting: "This adult, the little girl is the daughter of the Feng family. On the side, this is the little girl's personal maid Chunxiang, she is just an ignorant woman and child, and she does not know the law of the country and is ruthless, please raise your noble hand and don't pursue her recklessness. ”

Before Chunxiang could say something, Liu Jingting, who had been lowering his head to observe the two of them, suddenly said to Chunxiang: "Although you have exchanged clothes, but the shoes on your feet have not been changed, I think you should stop quibbling, so as not to make your young lady suffer more." ”

Chunxiang finally didn't dare to speak anymore, but turned around and hugged Feng Susu and cried. After Liu Jingting identified the identities of the two women, he stood without saying a word, as if waiting for something.

This made the general banner of Jinyiwei, who was presiding over the raid on the side, a little inexplicable, but Liu Jingting did not order, and he did not dare to rashly order and drag the two women in front of him away.

Zhu Youzhen, who was on the side, looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but say: "The law of the country is ruthless, since you know that the law of the country is ruthless, why do you want to run?" Is there anyone out there who can shelter you? ”

Feng Susu was silent, she didn't want to implicate her husband's family. But Chunxiang looked at the young man who was standing opposite them with some surprise, and she saw that the big man who had just asked was also respectful to this young man, mistakenly thinking that this was the son of the noble family who had come to lead the team to raid the Feng family.

Listening to the little sympathy in the young man's tone, Haruka seemed to grasp the last straw, and she desperately crawled in the direction of Chongzhen, although she was stopped by two guards.

But she still lay on the ground and pleaded, "This noble man, please have mercy." My young lady will marry the son of Lord Li, the right attendant of the military department, the day after tomorrow, as long as you let my young lady go out, the young lady will no longer be a family member of the criminal official after she gets married..."

Chunxiang's shout was like the mournful cry of a cuckoo, but a few brocade guards on the side were unmoved. They knew very well that without His Majesty's order, no one in the Ming Dynasty would dare to ask Jinyiwei to release him, even the Mr. Liu in front of him.

Zhu Youzhen's face changed, he looked down at the unfinished pillow in front of him again, suddenly reached out and dusted off some of the dust on it, and then said, "Steward Wang, find someone to send them to Master Li's mansion." ”

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he folded the pillow and put it into his arms, turned around and left without looking back, and did not glance at the two women from beginning to end.

Wang Chengen immediately called the chief banner of Jinyi Wei, who was in charge, and after blocking everyone's eyes, he showed him his waist card, whispered a few words to him, and hurried after Chongzhen with Liu Jingting.

When this general flag was called over by Wang Chengen, he didn't think so, but when he turned around and came back, the expression on his face became extremely solemn.

He beckoned a cronie to Xiao Qi, told him to prepare a carriage to take Feng Susu's master and servant away, and strictly forbade the sergeants present to talk about it.

After Zhu Youzhen left the gate of the Feng Mansion, he turned from a small sprint to a brisk walk, as if he was escaping from the lair of some fierce beast and poisonous snake.

After passing through the three alleys, Zhu Youzhen stopped under a large locust tree at the mouth of the alley. He rested on the trunk of the tree for a while, and Wang Chengen and Liu Jingting rushed up panting.

After Zhu Youzhen looked around and saw that there was no one else, he held on to the big locust tree, turned his back to Liu Jingting and said: "Liu Qing, what you said is right, I really can't do it now, and calmly face the results of my decision, but I will never regret it." If you want to revive the dead tree of Daming, you must cut down these stumps and leaves. ”

Liu Jingting stood behind Chongzhen for a long time before he said slowly: "The minister doesn't dare to question His Majesty's decision, the minister just hopes that before His Majesty swings the axe, he can distinguish whether it is a dead branch or not." ”

Zhu Youzhen gently patted the trunk of the locust tree, turned to look at Liu Jingting for a long time, and then said, "I have written down Mr. Liu's advice." Today I am also lacking, you and I will say goodbye here. ”

Liu Jingting bent down and kept his gesture for a long time, until he could no longer hear the distant footsteps in his ears, and then he straightened up.

Liu Jingting looked up at the big locust tree that had lost all its leaves, and felt as if a big stone had been pressed on his heart. He was a little confused, he didn't know if Chongzhen's choice was really so correct.

Zhu Youzhen, who returned to the palace, took out the pillow he brought back from his arms, and when he looked at it silently, Wang Chengen couldn't help but step forward and said: "Your Majesty, it's better to hand over this pillow to the minister, and the minister can let the minister finish..."

Zhu Youzhen interrupted him and said, "I didn't like this embroidery so I took it back, what do I want to do with it." ”

Wang Chengen couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Then Your Majesty is..."

However, Zhu Youzhen replied unexpectedly, "I just want to remember what I am doing this for." ”

Chongzhen's endless answer made Wang Chengen a little confused, but he kept his mouth shut tightly and no longer tried to explore Chongzhen's thoughts, so as not to incur Chongzhen's disgust.

Zhu Youzhen instructed Wang Chengen to hang the pillow on the wall, then picked up the stack of verdicts on the table again, and after he picked up the pen and gave instructions on it, he handed it to Wang Chengen and said, "Just hand it over to the three law divisions." ”

Wang Chengen glanced at the verdict when he took it, and found that Chongzhen's instructions were a first-class reduction. What was originally cut in half became hanging; Those who were originally sentenced to beheading were sentenced to exile; However, those sentenced to exile were changed to enter the central government academy for reform and study to see the after-effects.

When Wang Chengen was about to retreat, Zhu Youzhen suddenly said: "I almost forgot that this school for entering the Central Government Academy is not a school for entering the Taiwan Foundation Factory for study, and let Luo Yangxing establish a branch school in Xishan as a place for officials who have made mistakes to work and study. ”

Wang Chengen asked carefully: "May I ask Your Majesty, is this Xishan branch managed by Jinyiwei?" Or will it be handed over to the management of the central government school? ”

"The name is hanging under the Central Government Academy, but Jinyiwei is responsible for daily management. These officials are allowed to study for half a day and work for half a day, and they are not allowed to be physically punished or their salaries are deducted. ”

"The minister knows, and the minister will do it immediately." After Wang Chengen bent down and saluted, he went out with the document approved by Chongzhen.

After retiring from the dynasty, in Han Yi's mansion, Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Yuanyi and others were discussing how to deal with the chaos in the court after the Wenxiangjiao rebellion.

Yuan Chonghuan stood in the living room and said to several teachers and friends: "Since the rebellion of the Xiangjiao Sect, Your Majesty has sent Jinyiwei to control the army inside and outside the capital, so that the five armies of the Governor's Mansion, the Beijing Camp, and the honorable relatives in the Jinyi Guard, regardless of their actual positions or temporary posts, will return to their homes and be grounded.

The lords and nobles are all heroes who have retired with the country, and they are all the pillars of my Ming Dynasty, how can Your Majesty be so humiliated, this is not what Ming Jun did. Moreover, the people in the brocade clothes have always been jackals, and His Majesty is so biased and vain, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more eunuch rebellion in the future. If the two teachers don't speak up again, I'm afraid that in the future, the state affairs will be ruined to the point of being out of control. ”

Lu Shanji also nodded in agreement and said: "Your Majesty is in charge of the internal and external points of the brocade guard, once there is a change, it will be a rebellion of nectar, and my generation of scholars must not be prepared." ”

Lu Shanji has always been good friends with Sun Chengzong, and what he said made Sun Chengzong nod subconsciously.

However, Han Yi, who has always been obedient to Yuan Chonghuan's words, is unwilling to listen to his opinion this time.

Chongzhen's backhand made Wen Zhenmeng ruined and drove him out of the capital. In Han Yi's view, Wen Zhenmeng's actions are actually not out of line. Compared with Liu Zongzhou, who had just been recalled to the capital, he accused Chongzhen, who had just ascended the throne, Wen Zhenmeng was just unwilling to violate Chongzhen's ancestral system.

However, the endings of the two were very different, which immediately made Han Yi realize that although this Chongzhen Emperor was young, he attached great importance to the power in his hands.

Like Liu Zongzhou, although he also opposed the policies pursued by the emperor, he never took resolute action, but hoped that the emperor would self-reflect and then automatically correct what he considered to be the wrong policies.

Wen Zhenmeng, on the other hand, not only verbally objected, but also gathered a group of officials to insist that the emperor abolish the new policy and follow the ancestral system.

So the ending of the two will be very different, and now Yuan Chonghuan actually wants him and Sun Chengzong to take the lead and ask Chongzhen to withdraw the Jinyi guards in the army inside and outside the capital, wouldn't this push him into the fire pit.
