Wan Jing had already been pulled out of the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and he was detained by a few small eunuchs wearing white leather boots, each with a fierce face, a strong body, and a saber around his waist, and people seemed to see that the lining of these eunuchs was wearing chain mail, and at this time everyone suddenly realized that it was the internal drill soldiers presided over by Wei Zhongxian who were really sent out to do this!

Since last year, Wei Zhongxian has been training troops in Jingshan, training thousands of soldiers and horses, all of them are strong eunuchs selected among tens of thousands of eunuchs, issued armor weapons, and still operating cannons in Jingshan, from time to time you can hear the rumbling sound of cannons from behind the deep palace. At this time, Jingshan and Zhongnanhai and other places belong to the scope of the palace, there is no decree that the ministers can not enter, people know that there is such a thing as internal exercise, and they also know that internal exercise is completely nonsense, there have been several internal exercises in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and the end is the same, when the civil officials are weak, the eunuchs make internal exercises, and the civil officials are strong, and the internal exercises will be stopped immediately, and the emperor has no way.

From now on, the eunuchs openly came out to arrest the four-grade civil officials, and the power of the eunuchs was of course so great that it was chilling.

The Donglin Party scolded when it mentioned this matter, but it didn't reflect on itself at all!

They engaged in party strife too much, and forced the original Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, and Chu Party to have no way out, and finally the people of the three parties took refuge in Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian's power is far greater than all the eunuchs before the Ming Dynasty, and he is much more powerful than Feng Baodu, and the credit of the Donglin Party here is also not small!

Wan Jing's official robe has been torn in many places, and there are several bruises on his face, it seems that he subconsciously resisted, and of course the end was very miserable.

When he arrived outside the yamen, just above the heavenly street, Gao Qiqian glared at the beads of his eyes and shouted: "Fight, a hundred rods!" ”

Everyone's faces changed!

The court staff is a particularly large wooden cane, the wood is originally heavy, and the front end is still wrapped with iron sheets, ordinary people have to stay in bed for many days if they hit three or five canes, and they have to go to half a life if they beat ten or twenty canes, and it is almost difficult to survive if they beat thirty or fifty canes, and a hundred canes will probably beat people into pulp.

Zhang Han rode a horse and watched from afar, and several eunuchs who led the way were not in a hurry at this time, and they were also watching the situation in front of them with relish on the horse.

Li Guobin's face was full of taste, he has not seen such a scene in the old capital for decades, Wanli Shengjun was scolded by civil officials for being drunk and wealthy, and was scolded by people many times, but under the maintenance of Shen Shixing and Fang Congzhe Shen and other first assistants, there was no court rod in the end, and now such a thing is happening in front of him, it will definitely anger the people of the whole city and scold, the people don't know what the three parties Donglin are, they know that the eunuchs beat people on the street again!

The eunuchs holding Wanjing immediately pressed Wanjing to the ground, and then the brocade guards with the staff immediately came up to fight!

Hit a few sticks, that is, change people, the heavy rod kept falling on Wanjing's buttocks, Wanjing began to endure silently, after hitting five or six sticks, he began to scream, after more than a dozen sticks, he couldn't scream, just hummed, after thirty rods, he couldn't even hum, the people present saw that the rod kept rising and falling, and the brocade guards with the rods were replaced round after round, and the brocade guards with the rods were all family handicrafts, and the rods were high and ruthless, after hitting the fifty rods, each rod went down, and Wanjing's official robe was bleeding, and after seventy rods, The robe was broken, and every time the cane went down, the blood and the broken flesh on the body splashed up, and the entire back was broken, and Wanjing began to vomit blood, and the whole person had already lost consciousness.

When he raised the potential order, the tips of his boots were turned inward, and the brocade guards saw it very clearly, knowing that this hundred rods were the same as the literal meaning, that is, they wanted the life of this Wanjing, and their rods hit them quickly and fiercely, without the slightest force.

Zhang Han watched from a distance with a calm face, there were many people gathered around, including many officials wearing black gauze hats, no one spoke out loud, and no one dared to stop it, in the Jiajing years, the court staff was used a lot, but the more people were beaten, the more people were beaten, the Great Rites Conference killed dozens of officials, and in the end, the civil officials did not really give in, and later several civil official scum who initiated the Great Rites Discussion were cleared out of the civil official group, and the end was very miserable, Jiajing seemed to have won the victory, forced away the first assistant Yang Tinghe, and finally made his father the biological father of the imperial examination, However, he had to fight between civil officials in his life, and in the end, he was still controlled by Yan Song and Xu Jie, and other top civil officials held the emperor's pulse and played with it.

The court staff in front of him is a clear extension of imperial power, a kind of naked trampling on the order advocated and respected by civil officials, but there is no civil official indignation, and no one dares to come out to make a cane and horse......

Xia Xiping's face was very pale, he felt that the scene in front of him had something to do with him, although Wanjing was on the show again, but Wei Zhongxian's anger could also come from the whistleblower letter he wrote.

A hundred rods were finally finished, Wanjing had become a puddle of flesh, and the lower body could no longer see the shape, Gao Qiqian personally stepped forward to try his snort, and found that Wanjing still had breath, and his face was very ugly at the moment, but after a hundred rods were beaten, there was no way to fight again in front of so many onlookers.

As soon as the flag school and the servants left, the people around immediately stepped forward!

Some of the officials turned around and entered, their expressions also complicated.

The people who beat the Donglin Party or those who have their hearts to Donglin, they don't feel that there is anything wrong, and they even feel very happy in their hearts, but as a member of the civil officials, it is impossible not to feel awkward when they see their colleagues being beaten like this.

A group of people from the Ministry of Industry lifted Wanjing up, and someone rushed to a mule cart, and everyone carried Wanjing into the car with all hands and feet, as if carrying a puddle of mud, and the ground was beaten down with minced meat and blood, as well as tattered official robes and fabrics.

It's the first time Zhang Han has seen people being beaten like this, no wonder "cane killing" is an abnormal killing method, it is indeed too cool.

He didn't regret the letter he asked Xia Xiping to write, he didn't know about Wanjing, and he didn't count himself as a member of the Donglin Party if he asked Li Guobin to inquire, but since this person found him, it means that he has made up his mind, and as long as he officially writes the book, he will definitely be disposed of like this by Wei Zhongxian. Before the serious Donglin Party made a move, Wanjing himself jumped out first, and his fate was already doomed.

The eunuch who led the team turned back to Zhang Han and said, "Lord Zhang looks a little uncomfortable?" ”

Zhang Han said quietly: "It's nothing, father-in-law, don't forget that the lower official is a military attaché, and there are many people who are killed." ”

"That's it, our family has underestimated Master Zhang."

Feng Yu, who led the team, didn't say anything, rode the horse in front and continued to lead the way, everyone rode a horse to follow, to the sky, An, outside the gate everyone dismounted, walked all the way, through the end gate to the noon gate, from the right door into the palace, Fengyu and the garrison of the forbidden army looked at the waist card, everyone walked into the palace forbidden.

When they arrived near the Huiji Gate, a eunuch greeted him and said, "The emperor was entangled by several Hanlin officials, saying that he was bringing the people he had introduced in the afternoon to wait outside the Wenhua Gate." ”

"We know."

Feng Yu turned back to Zhang Han and said, "Lord Zhang, it seems that you have to wait for a while." ”

Zhang Han said with a smile: "The emperor called the courtiers, etc., which is also the great and glorious of the courtiers. ”

Feng Yu picked his finger and praised: "Lord Zhang knows things and can speak." ”

Everyone went to the direction of Wenhua Gate again, where the eunuchs found a room for Zhang Han and others to wait here, Xia Xiping and Li Guobin were also brought in because of Zhang Han's relationship, both of them looked nervous, and sat respectfully on the chair, and the sitting posture was extremely upright.

Zhang Han looked at the surrounding scenery quietly...... Of course he has been here in Wenhua Gate, and he has also entered the Wenhua Palace, he remembers that there seem to be some clocks and antiques in it, or it may be a mistake, there is a palace from the Nine Dragon Wall, there are quite a lot of Ming and Qing Dynasty clocks, all of which are gorgeous, Zhang Han looked at it for a long time at that time.

He has visited the entire Forbidden City three or five times, Jingshan once, and Beihai, and the scenery in front of him is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Familiar is the whole pattern of course has not changed, from the noon gate in, to the left is the three major halls, Fengtian Hall is very majestic and magnificent, you can also see it from a long distance, this hall is actually rebuilt in the Jiajing period, much smaller than the original scale, you can imagine how magnificent it was when Emperor Taizong just completed the construction!

Strange is the scenery in front of you after all, it is different from the later generations, the walls should be powdered every year, the red walls and yellow tiles, are brand new, the paintings on the eaves of various corridors are also well maintained, there is no dust, the copper cylinder in front of the palace, the copper crane and other ornaments are also as just placed, the forbidden army who keeps walking around inside and outside the palace, the officials who come and go in and out of the palace, the long bells and drums, and the eunuchs who can be seen everywhere...... All this makes Zhang Han have a sense of confusion in time and space.

Zhang Han and the others sat for a short time, and saw the emperor in the Wenhua Hall passing the meal, not only the emperor passing the meal, but also seemed to give the Hanlin who was reading, and the smell of the meal came when the team with the meal box passed by, which made people feel that their index fingers were moving and they were very hungry.

Of course, they will not be given food in the palace, and everyone can only endure hunger and continue to wait.

……

Tianqi did not eat in the Wenhua Palace, his meals were still arranged by the eunuchs in turn, and the cost was also the respect of the eunuchs, of course, the emperor would not be stupid enough to think that the eunuchs' silver was earned by himself, and the wool was still out of the sheep, but the idea of Emperor Wanli was that since these damn minions were full of money, it was also appropriate to ask them to have some blood, as for whether the eunuchs would double the silver after bleeding, then Wanli didn't care.

Hanlin people eat is the warm stove of the imperial dining room, all the dishes are cold and hot, hot and cold, no matter how delicious the taste has become a soft and rotten pile, the emperor's meal is specially made from the small man's room, stir-frying, steaming and cooking are calculated at the right time and then served, the taste is good, the dishes are also fresh, after the emperor sits down, the dishes are served endlessly, and a table is full after a while.
