Chapter 798: The Heart of the People
The noon gate is located in the imperial city, isolated from Jingshifang City, plus the prisoner is the Dongchang Governor Zhang Whale, and the torture is the Jinyi Guard commander Qin Lin, and no one dares to come to see the excitement, even the officials of Guanglu Temple who are on errands in the imperial city, and the eunuchs of the twenty-four yamen in the inner court, are also closed one by one, lest they cause trouble.
As Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou fled, on the empty Wumen Square, only Qin Lin's angry scolding echoed back and forth.
Thinking of the terrible thing that Qin Lin suffered from the court staff, those eunuchs and eunuchs hiding in their own offices only felt gasped, but the time of a cup of tea passed, the time of a pillar of incense passed, and after a long time, Qin Lin was still shouting in full anger, and people had to be surprised: In the end, it was the first warrior of the dynasty who was rescued by Gexiang, this body was just now, and it was a full three hundred court rods to beat down, and Qin Taibao still roared like thunder!
The people who really witnessed Qin Lin's court cane, in addition to Zhang Xiaoyang, Xiaoshunzi and General Dahan at the scene of the noon gate court staff, there was also a celebrant who was in charge of Zhang Hong.
Wanli was furious and made the decision of Qin Lin, and his anger did not subside, and he ordered Zhang Zunyao to lead Zhang Zunyao to lead the cavalry to Jiangling and raid Zhang Juzheng's house, except for leaving a hundred acres of land for Zhang Juzheng's elderly mother to support his life, and the rest of the property was confiscated!
Zhang Hong had already been hit by the bad news that followed, and he was almost numb to his spirit, and this thunderbolt on a sunny day struck down, and he didn't even have the mind to beg His Majesty to take back his fate, and he didn't care about the etiquette before the king, and walked out of the Heart Nourishing Hall in a daze.
Qin Lin's screams fluttered and fluttered, Zhang Hong followed the sound, stumbled to the Neijinshui Bridge in the noon gate, Qin Lin's hoarse screams in his ears became clearer and clearer, he only felt that his feet were weak, and he couldn't walk anymore, so he had to hold on to the railing of the Neijinshui Bridge and look out on tiptoe.
Zhang Hong was old and gray-haired, and his eyes were not very good, only to see the court staff falling one after another, Qin Lin's iron bones were unyielding, and he was beaten to the point of pain, and he still scolded the ministers in power and the eunuchs who misled the country.
Qin Lin saw Zhang Hong coming from a distance, and roared even more fiercely at the throat, and scolded in a long voice: "Your Grandpa Qin's bones are cast from steel and iron, and you are not afraid of fighting!" Annihilation is in charge, the court is in chaos, grandpa, I will never be with you! Your Majesty, listen, the people of the world are crying out for Qi Shuai and Pan Shilang......"
Zhang Hong suddenly burst into tears, his hand holding the bridge railing trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Oh my God, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are not beating Qin Lin with your cane, you are beating the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty, and beating the will of the people of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
He couldn't stand it anymore, he walked back tremblingly, it was just a slightly hunched back, and suddenly he wanted to be pressed by something heavy, and he was very stiff...... "Gone?" Qin Lin blinked his eyes, since there was no audience, he didn't bother to sing a one-man show, closed his mouth and honestly waited for the three hundred court rods to finish.
Chen Minghao used his skill to make the court cane, tore Qin Lin's pants and the hem of his clothes to shreds, and then took out the pig urine bubble hidden in his arms, and poured pig blood and some bits and pieces on Qin Lin's body, and suddenly the "wound" became miserable: I saw that where the court cane hit, the cotton clothes and cotton pants were beaten to shreds, and they were stuck to the wound in a daze, and they were covered in blood, and the broken meat scraps hung on the torn cotton, which was particularly shocking.
"Brother Qin, is there anything wrong? Does it hurt? Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali couldn't wait to rush over, knowing that Qin Lin would be fine, and when they saw the blood-drenched appearance, they also felt weak in their hearts, and they knew how realistic the wound was.
Qin Lin thought about it for a while, and said honestly: "It doesn't hurt, it's just a little itchy." ”
That's not it, the Han general's techniques are all practiced to perfection, if you don't get hurt, then you really won't even break the oily skin, and the thick and big court staff is picked up high, but when it falls on the body, it is lighter than the strength of a butterfly stopping on the petals.
Niu Dali couldn't help grinning and secretly laughing, so there was no need to rush back to Qingdai for help.
Qin Lin got up and lay on top of the cypress coffin, and then Niu Dali, Lu Yuanzhi and the pro-soldier captains worked together, and with a hey, they lifted the coffin and slowly walked towards Daming Gate.
When the people of Beijing heard that Qin Lin was carrying the coffin and died, they were already thousands of empty alleys to see, crowding the streets, from Qipan Street to Jiangmi Lane, there were crowds of people everywhere, whether they were young or strong, old and weak, whether they were foreign tourists or the people of Beijing, everyone's face was full of grievances.
On the chessboard street outside the Daming Gate, the people surrounded the three layers inside and the three layers outside, and the gossip could almost lift the roof.
Zhang Jiangling's new policy, the elimination of redundant officials, the restriction of excesses and miscellaneous taxes, the clearing of acres of land, and the suppression of mergers and acquisitions of the powerful and powerful, almost all the ordinary people benefited from it, not to mention that Zeng Xingwu, Zhang Xueyan, Qi Jiguang, Pan Jitao, etc., whom he appointed, were all capable ministers and cadres who were very good at doing things for the country and the people.
Wanli expelled the Jiangling Party, and expelled loyal ministers and good generals like Qi Jiguang and Pan Jitao who served the country wholeheartedly, are the common people really ignorant "Qian Yu" and indifferent to this?
On the contrary, the people's hearts have never been deceived, and the people have their own scales in their hearts, who are good officials who sincerely speak and do things for the people, and who are clever words, people's eyes are like mirrors, and they can see clearly.
Qin Lin carried the coffin and died, and the people of Beijing were waiting outside the imperial city, and everyone was looking forward to it.
"Alas, I don't know if the Qin Taibao can persuade His Majesty to retract his fate," an old man who looked pedantic, pinching his gray beard under his chin, with an anxious expression.
The rapping green-skinned descendant had five red fingerprints on his face with his father's marks, and at this time, the tone of his words took a 180-degree turn: "God bless Qin Taibao, and let a good official like Pan Shilang stay in the court, so that we ordinary people can have hope." Dad was right, if Pan Shilang hadn't blocked the breach back then, my mother and I would have died in the flood, where would we be able to survive today? ”
"The new policy run by Taishi Zhang must continue," a villager with a wrinkled face, his brows furrowed tightly into the word Sichuan: "I still remember the Jiajing year, the taxes are getting heavier and heavier, forcing us to be cornered, what else do the servants have to do, and they have to collect all kinds of routines, and it is gradually getting better after the new policy is implemented in the Wanli year......
There may be many, many reasons why the people are waiting here, but they definitely have only one wish, that is, Qin Taibao can carry the coffin and give advice to the dead, so as to persuade His Majesty's relatives and virtuous ministers to stay in the court, and continue to implement the new policy that benefits all the people.
Finally, the small side door next to the Daming Gate slowly opened, and after a series of smacking sounds, the chessboard street, which was originally noisy, suddenly became silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the small doorway.
Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali looked solemn, gritted their teeth tightly, their eyes were full of grief and indignation, and they carried the coffin out with all the pro-military captains.
The long-awaited Qin Lin and Qin Taibao of the people lay on the cypress coffin, the half-new official robe was beaten to shreds, the blood flowed all over the body, the flesh and blood of the wounds were blurred and miserable, and the broken cotton hung with broken meat, as well as the red blood, which flowed down the coffin and fell to the ground bit by bit, as if it was smashed into the hearts of the people.
Everyone's breathing was choked, and their eyes could no longer leave the coffin, and Qin Lin lying on the coffin, at that moment, everyone's heart was pinched tightly, and their chest was like a big stone weighing a thousand catties, and breathing became extremely difficult.
Niu Dali, Lu Yuanzhi and the captains carried the coffin, slowly advancing step by step, and the crowded crowd consciously separated to both sides when the coffin came to the coffin.
Finally, someone let out a suppressed cry, and the cry spread as quickly as a contagion, and more and more people let out a cry of grief, and Qipan Street suddenly burst into tears.
"Qin Taibao, you are a loyal minister who serves the country wholeheartedly, and the little old man only asks the Bodhisattva to bless you with many blessings and longevity, and a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren!" An old man with gray hair fell to his knees.
Another old man stretched out his hand to the sky and asked bitterly: "Is there any heavenly reason, is there still a royal law......
The rapping green-skinned offspring had already blushed and said angrily: "What's going on with the imperial court? Annihilation, it must be that Annihilation framed Qin Taibao! ”
"Annihilator? If Your Majesty is a Ming monarch, how can you be deceived by the ministers? The scholar-like man sighed in a low voice, and a faint gentleman was about to come out.
Qipan Street is the location of the yamen of the various ministries of the Ming Dynasty, the west is the governor's mansion of all armies, and the east is the yamen of the six departments, the Zongren Mansion and the Qintianjian.
Chen Ji, the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stumbled and sighed: "Hey, from the martial arts to the death of the war and the death of the soldiers, to the present Zhang Taishi has been wronged for no reason, and the capable ministers of the Jiangling Party have all been reprimanded, and the people in our Shilin are wise and wise to protect their lives, but it is Qin Lin, a brocade-clothed military minister, who has come to give death advice, rather than make people sad and lamentable!" ”
Wu Dui, the imperial historian of the right capital, was also angry: "How can Your Majesty be so bent on going your own way, but I don't know that the people's hearts have never been like flowing water, and water can carry boats and overturn boats!" ”
"Yes, it's okay for Qin Xiaoyou to get the people's hearts, if it's the generation of the heroes, how can you get it?" Chen Wei shook his head, looking quite depressed, not only angry at Wanli's stubbornness, but also worried about the future and fate of the Ming Dynasty.
Jinyi Wei Yamen, Liu Shouyou, who had just come back from outside the noon gate, looked at the scene of ten thousand people welcoming Qin Lin in the empty alley, and it was really not a taste in his heart, you stupid people, don't you know that he was not beaten at all, is this all pretended?
"Spread out, spread out, what are you doing here?" Zhang Zhao and Pang Qing's henchmen took the Jinyi Official Academy to try to disperse the people.
But the people who were originally tame like lambs in front of the Jinyi Official Academy actually treated them with a cross-eyebrow, and there was anger in everyone's eyes, forcing thousands of eyes to come, which made the Jinyi Official Academy's heart tremble, and they involuntarily retreated.
No one noticed that Qin Lin, who was lying on the coffin "fainted", had a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.
