Chapter 1620: Bitter Plan

Tang Song was very nervous. When he broke into the Ministry of Industry in the East Factory, when his colleagues went to watch the excitement, he sat in his room, shaking like chaff.

"The East Factory is gone!"

After a burst of relieved cheers outside, Tang Song's body softened and slid down the chair to the ground.

It was cold in the room, but Tang Song was sweating profusely.

He got up with difficulty, then wiped the sweat off his forehead, squeezed out a smile, and pushed the door to go out.

The yard was full of people, and everyone was talking in low voices, sighing and fearing.

"Master Tang, you don't hear anything out of the window! You are so calm, I admire you!"

Previously, the entire Ministry of Industry, that is, Tang Song, did not come out, so everyone was a little ashamed, thinking that their concentration was not as good as that of a person, no wonder they couldn't be promoted.

Tang Song cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have some things to do at hand, but I didn't pay attention. How many people were arrested just now?"

An official who was on good terms with him said with lingering fear: "Three, you didn't see it just now! Those Dongchang fans are like wolves and tigers, and even our adults can't stop them. Now the adults have entered the palace, most likely Go to His Majesty to teach Dongchang a lesson."

Tang Song sighed and said, "It's just the end of the New Year! Those who have been arrested will be in such a state of panic, it's pitiful!"

Amidst a burst of sighs, someone said: "When you enter the East Factory, don't expect to come out intact, but it's okay now, most of them are exiled, although it's a bit painful, but as long as you can endure it, you can always save the lives of your family. ..."

"That would make life worse than death!"

"Life is better than death. Those officials who were exiled to Cochin Burma farmed the land for minor crimes, and mined mines for serious crimes. The former could survive, but the latter had almost no reason to escape."

When it comes to exile, almost everyone turns pale.

Daming's exile was not easy, not to mention the risks along the way-mainly the escort's neglect and even abuse. After arriving in the place of exile, the two problems of acclimatization and inability to adapt to physical labor can make life worse than death.

Therefore, in the private discussions among the officials, everyone felt that exile was inhumane, and that it would be best to demote one's wife like the former Song Dynasty.

Tang Song also joined the sighing crowd, until someone shouted: "Your Excellency has entered the palace, hurry up and go to work, so as not to come back with a bad heart and vent your anger on others!"

How bold!

After hearing this, everyone went back quietly, as for the person who yelled just now, he was left alone in the same place.

If you can't bear it under fear, it will make people more courageous!

...

This is the second large-scale arrest in Dongchang, and the first occurred during the Yongle period.

At the beginning, Zhu Gaochi was vigorously opposing the expansion of rights of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, advocating that procedures should be followed-discovering problems, arresting, interrogating, and convicting.

Instead of Dongchang or Jinyiwei directly taking people, the interrogation process is kept secret, and whether the interrogation results are announced depends on the king's mood.

But the outrageous dispatch of Dongchang today made the officials feel betrayed.

This king is getting farther and farther away from us!

Outside the palace gate, when someone from inside invited them in, Yang Rong wiped his mouth and pretended to enter the palace.

...

When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the officials were stunned to see Sun Xiang kneeling in the hall, their hearts skipped a beat, and then they looked at the emperor on the throne.

Zhu Gaochi on the throne looked cold, as if he was lost in thought.

"Your Majesty, the servant got the evidence, worried that the suspects would run away, and lost his mind for a while, so he took people out to arrest him, Your Majesty..."

Sun Xiang raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "By the time this servant wakes up, it has already caused a catastrophe. This servant deserves death!"

Yang Rong lowered his eyes, his heart was cold.

Zhu Gaochi stroked the paperweight, and said lightly: "I already found out later, Dongchang is domineering, come here."

"His Majesty!"

It wasn't Ye Luoxue who came in,

Zhu Gaochi said: "Sun Xiang is guilty, and he will be dragged to Dongchang, where he will be given 20 sticks to serve as an example to others."

Sun Xiang kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sun Xiang was dragged out with a look of luck, Zhu Gaochi looked at the officials coldly and said, "What's the matter, Zhu Qing?"

Feeling sad, Yang Rong left the class and said, "Your Majesty, I'm waiting... nothing happened, but I'm a little surprised at Dongchang's domineering."

Zhu Gaochi said indifferently: "I know, Zhu Qing, please retreat."

The ministers saluted and retired, their backs bleak.

...

In the East Factory, Sun Xiang gathered the people at home, and then he lay down on the bench and said, "Twenty sticks, no mercy."

An Lun panicked and said: "Elder-in-law, the servants led a team to get them, and if they want to beat them, they are also beating slaves!"

Sun Xiang smiled sideways on the bench and said, "No need to say more, ask someone to tie it up, and get another piece of clean cork."

An Lun sighed, tied up Sun Xiang himself, then stuffed a piece of cork he had just brought into his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Eunuch, hold on."

Sun Xiang nodded, and An Lun stood by the side and watched the two hands-on players, and said sinisterly: "If you want to fight well, if you can't fight well, then..."

Erfanzi nodded hastily, Chen Gui watched from the side, and said, "Be careful with what you do."

Grass mud horse!

An Lun turned around and glared at Chen Gui, and said, "Your Majesty even said twenty sticks, what does it mean to be measured!"

In front of so many people saying the word "property", is this intended to make Sun Xiang be beaten to death with a board?

Sun Xiang turned his head to look at Chen Gui, bit the cork and nodded, looking very kind.

Chen Gui trembled, and hurriedly laughed and said, "Your servant is worried about your father-in-law!"

Sun Xiang was still smiling, then nodded at An Lun.

An Lun lowered his eyes and said, "Hit!"

"one……"

"Snapped!"

"two……"

"Snapped!"

You have to take off your trousers when hitting the board, otherwise the smashed rags will be entangled with flesh and blood. First, it is difficult to clean up, and second, it is easy to lose your life.

The sound of the board hitting the naked buttocks was very loud, but Chen Gui, who saw the board falling, sighed in his heart, regretting his haste just now.

These two fans were originally members of Jinyiwei. After they arrived in Dongchang, they were valued by Sun Xiang for their "magic skills" of playing the board with one hand.

Life and death at will, this is the highest state of execution.

The 20 boards were quickly finished, and Sun Xiang's buttocks were bruised and swollen, which was very scary. But Chen Gui knew that at most one month later, Sun Xiang would be alive and kicking again.

"Bring the medicine!"

While Chen Gui was in a daze, An Lun asked for the wound medicine, applied it on Sun Xiang himself, and finally carried Sun Xiang in with others.

Chen Gui stood where he was, watched those people put away the bench, and then said anxiously: "Let's go find some good medicine for the father-in-law!"

He left the East Factory all the way, and then went to Tai Hospital.

When he came back from the Imperial Hospital with the wound medicine, he was about to deliver it to Sun Xiang, but An Lun blocked his way.

"Step aside!"

Chen Gui's complexion was gloomy and cold, An Lun just smiled innocently: "Elder-in-law has already fallen asleep, and said that there is no important thing to disturb."

Chen Gui immediately sighed and said: "Hey! This wound medicine was obtained by selling favors with great difficulty in our family. You take it and remember to give it to your father-in-law."

An Lun nodded, and after Chen Gui left, he went to Sun Xiang's place.

"Eunuch, this is the wound medicine that Chen Gui asked for from the imperial hospital."

Sun Xiang was lying on the bed sweating profusely in pain, his eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he said, "Find a place to bury it quietly, don't make a fuss."

An Lun immediately looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand in fear, and cursed: "That traitor, you will die!"

Sun Xiang didn't explain that the medicine should be a good medicine, so he pointed to the outside, and then he lay down on the bed and endured the pain.

...

"This is a bitter trick."

Jin Youzi smiled wryly and said: "Then Sun Xiang is called Sun Buddha, how could he have the guts to kill him first and then play it? It's just a cover for His Majesty."

In the duty room, Yang Rong took a deep breath and said, "So what? This is the way of a monarch and his ministers. Your Majesty is beating us. Do you still want to question His Majesty?"

Jin Youzi was dumb, everyone was dumb, Yang Rong nodded, and said: "Masters, cheer up. At that time, the suppression of military officials was too hasty, and His Majesty guessed that it was at that time that he began to be dissatisfied with us. So be careful, everyone. Let’s work together to overcome this difficulty, and don’t act on your own!”

Yang Shiqi said confusedly: "When Your Majesty ascended the throne, everyone thought that the good times were coming and that the monarch and his ministers would definitely get along with each other, but now it seems... that we are too aggressive. Everyone, it's time to reflect!"

Huang Huai nodded and said, "I dare not say anything, Your Majesty is indeed a benevolent monarch."

Everyone nodded, Zhu Gaochi is not a benevolent king, so who is the benevolent king?

Today they entered the palace angrily to see them. If it was Zhu Di's era, it would be less to say that there should be more inmates in the prison.

Yang Pu coughed dryly and said: "The arrests are over, and this matter should stop, but the officials from the Ministry of Officials still need to persuade them more."

Jian Yi didn't speak from the time he entered the palace to when he left the palace, and he had no chance to speak, but the insider knew that this big official wanted to beg for bones. As for whether it is true or false, no one knows.
