The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 182 Order Changfeng Tingzhang Guoshu ([-] words)
Jiang Mian stared at Chang Feng's leaving back.

There is a kind of person who is born with awe-inspiring righteousness, never surrenders, and is never timid.

Jiang Mian is such a person.

Jiang Mian, native of Guangxi, was born in Yuxi, Yunnan, where he spent his childhood and youth.

Like many famous ministers of Ming Dynasty, he was a child prodigy since he was a child.

In the 13th year of Chenghua, at the age of 15, he returned to his hometown of Guangxi to take part in the provincial examination, and was released from high school.This is a remarkable achievement.

Fate seems to have deliberately tempered this proud young man.

In the next three trials, he failed in Sun Shan.

Until the spring of the 23rd year of Chenghua, when he was 25 years old, he came to the capital for the fourth time to participate in the examination.

It's time for Concubine Wan Gui to die.Emperor Chenghua even had the intention of abolishing the Chunwei of that year.

Fortunately, the prince Zhu Youtang argued hard and allowed the Chunwei Examination to start normally.

Only then was Jiang Mian able to participate in the examination, and won the apricot list, and won No. 11 in the second class of the gold list (National No. 14).

Such a ranking, coupled with a dignified appearance.He was selected into the ranks of Shu Ji Shi of the Imperial Academy.A broad road awaits him.

However, he ran into a problem.

His bad Yunnan accent is very difficult to understand.Communication with the masters of the Imperial Academy became a problem.

If you learn Mandarin well, you will not be afraid to travel all over the world.This truth really spans ancient and modern times.

In order to learn northern mandarin well.In the second year of Hongzhi, he actually asked to be transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the city patrol censor.

The Xuncheng Yushi roamed the streets all day long, so he could meet many native people in the capital and correct his accent.

As one of the 110 censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Jiang Mian is not outstanding.

He just did his job silently.Supervise the soldiers and horses of Nancheng, and manage the security of Nancheng where fish and dragons are mixed.

A few months ago, the Zhang family and the Zhou family used sticks to drive away the vendors on Maozhiyan'er Street.Originally, he planned to uphold justice for the people and compete with his relatives.

However, none of the more than 100 vendors dared to testify or sue the two relatives.

Without the victim, there would be no case.

The only thing he can do is to write notes, gossip, gossip, and impeach the two families.However, Zhezi fell into the sea.

Today, he finally grasped the handle of the two domineering relatives.He will never give in.

Because he retains the most basic conscience of being a man in his heart.

When the scholars of Ming Dynasty became officials, most of them ceased to be human beings.For officials, the basic conscience of being a human being is a rare commodity.

Jiang Mian is an endangered and rare animal with a conscience, the official giant panda.

Jiang Mian made up his mind: evil cannot prevail against good, and today we must fight for right and wrong!
Chang Feng returned to Qianqing Palace and told Emperor Hongzhi that Jiang Mian refused to release the second uncle.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't fall to the ground this time, nor did he roar.He knew he was wrong.

He was also wronged: I have been on the throne for eight years and four months, and I have not neglected government affairs for a single day.Early morning, noon, big and small sutra banquets, and evening memorials to Zishi.Tired like a dog.

I treat people with generosity and benevolence, take advice and advice well, follow kindness like a stream, and love the people of the world.

No matter how you look at it, I am a rare good emperor.

I have given so much.Is it not enough to just want to protect the families of the two most important women in my life today?

Why do you, Jiang Mian, hold on to my little braid?
Chang Feng became the mouthpiece between Emperor Hongzhi and Jiang Mian, the seventh-rank censor Jiang Mian.

Emperor Hongzhi ordered Chang Feng: "Let's do this. Go and pass on two orders to Jiang Mian. The first order is that I promote him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments Shandong Qinglisi."

"The second order is to let go of Zhang Heling, Zhang Yanling, and Zhou Yu."

Chang Feng understood: The emperor wants to exchange his official position for his relatives.

He left the main hall of Qianqing Palace again and returned to the prison of Bingma Si in Nancheng.

The decree is over.Jiang Mian resisted the edict again.

Jiang Mian said righteously: "The emperor tempted his courtiers with his official position. This is not the attitude towards loyal ministers, but the attitude towards thieves."

"Could it be that the emperor wants his courtiers to treat court laws as goods that can be sold?"

Chang Feng was taken aback.Jiang Mian was right, and he couldn't refute it.

Chang Feng cupped his hands towards Jiang Mian: "Then I'll go back to Qianqing Palace to answer."

Chang Feng, the treasurer of Jinyiwei, broke his legs between the emperor and the seventh-rank censor, which actually proved the enlightened political atmosphere of the Hongzhi Dynasty from one side.

If it were Emperor Chenghua, the slaves of the factory guards would have forced the censors to rescue their relatives long ago.

Whether Jiang Mian can survive is a question.Not to mention the back-and-forth reasoning with the emperor.

Chang Feng came to the main hall of Qianqing Palace for the third time today, and repeated Jiang Mian's words to Emperor Hongzhi.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi remained silent.

Li Guang, who was in Qianqing Palace today, couldn't bear it any longer: "Chang Feng, what do you Jinyiwei do for food?"

"Arrest Jiang Mian directly, and break open the prison door, won't it be the end?"

"Over the years, the emperor has entrusted you with so many important errands, and you can handle them beautifully."

"Wan'an and Liu Ji are not your opponents. Today you have no choice but to take a seventh-rank censor?"

"Unless you don't want to do this job for the emperor! Did you just forget about it when you became a Zuo Tongzhi?"

"The root of Jin Yiwei is in the palace! Not with the official censor!"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chang Feng. Although he still didn't speak, his eyes showed that he wanted Chang Feng to answer Li Guang's question.

Chang Feng had no choice but to kneel and kowtow: "Your Majesty. You have said many times that Jin Yiwei will not only severely punish treacherous officials, but also protect loyal officials."

"I dare not arrest a stern censor who enforces the law impartially! That would not only violate the sacred teachings, but also tarnish the emperor's reputation!"

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Do you want me to go to Nancheng Bingmasi to pray for Jiang Mian?"

Li Guangdao: "Your Majesty, Chang Feng refuses to do anything, but this old slave is willing to do it! This old slave will go to the Nancheng Bingma Division to save the three uncles!"

Emperor Hongzhi remained silent.Silence at this moment is tacit consent.

Li Guang went out of the Qianqing Palace, ordered a hundred young eunuchs, and rushed to Nancheng Bingmasi aggressively.

No matter how upright Jiang Mian is, there is only one person and one knife.If a hundred eunuchs were to beat him up, he would definitely not be an opponent.

Li Guang made a good plan: I, a hundred disciples and grandchildren, should I use a drill to deal with a sour censor who has no power to restrain a chicken?

Save Zhang Heling's brothers and Zhou Yu, and you can sell them well in front of the emperor, empress, and empress dowager!
It's like shit picking melons and catching grasshoppers, killing three birds with one stone!
That guy Chang Feng was smart all his life, but today he is as confused as a pig.He doesn't want the chance to please the emperor, empress, or empress dowager.It's cheap for me!
Thinking of this, Li Guang laughed triumphantly.

He rushed to Nancheng Bingmasi and saw Jiang Mian sitting on a chair with a knife in his hand.

Li Guang sneered: "Oh, what are you! I can see the end at a glance!"

"In order to win a loyal name, the emperor can't come to power! Chang Feng dare not touch you, I, Li Guang dare to touch you!"

Jiang Mian stood up: "Then step on my dead body and open the prison door!"

Li Guang gave an order: "Boys, give it to me!"

More than 100 eunuchs rushed forward.Among them, the leader is Gu Dayong, the supervisor of the Lijian.

Gu Dayong reacted very quickly, grabbing Jiang Mian's wrist holding the knife with both hands.Two other eunuchs took Jiang Mian's knife.

Jiang Mian is one against a hundred, without any fear on his face.

But two fists are hard to beat four hands, let alone two hundred hands?
In an instant he was pinned to the ground.The small fists of the eunuchs pounded on his body one after another.

Jiang Mian was beaten until he vomited blood, and still shouted: "The court's law cannot be profaned!"

At this moment, Bingmasi yelled loudly: "Stop!"

The angry shout came from the heavenly official Ma Wensheng!

Not only Ma Wensheng came.

Xu Pu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came, Liu Jian, the second assistant, Liu Daxia, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Yang Tinghe also came.

All the conscientious officials of the Manchu Dynasty are here!There are 200 people in a mighty way.

Over the years, officials have long been displeased with the rampant mudslides in the three foreign relatives' circles in the prison.

However, Emperor Hongzhi treated them like darlings.Knowing that they were the untouchable Ni Lin of Emperor Hongzhi, the officials kept turning a blind eye to their illegal affairs.

When the patrolling city censor Jiang Mian arrested the three uncles, the news reached the ears of Ma Wensheng and others.Ma Wensheng sighed: "I wait for a first-rank official, but I can't catch up with Jiang Mian, a seventh-rank censor!"

So Lao Ma summoned his colleagues and rushed to the Nancheng Bingmasi prison, and guarded the prison door side by side with Jiang Mian.

Eunuchs only obey orders from the palace.Ma Wensheng told the eunuchs to stop, they are not even birds.

Ma Wensheng rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists like sandbags: "It seems that today you are going to force me to convince others with virtue!"

Lao Ma was born as a civil servant who led the army, and he advocated morality through martial arts.

Ma Wensheng's close friend Wang Shu dared to beat the guardian eunuch.

Lao Ma inherited the glorious tradition of Lao Wang.Dare to beat the eunuch in the palace.

After all, he was a minister of the Ministry of War, so commanding group fights is not a piece of cake!
More than 200 civil servants swarmed up under the leadership of Lao Ma.The little eunuchs are no match at all!
Li Guang was afraid of his life.Eunuchs and civil servants beat each other to death, and the matter could not be dealt with.He is responsible.

So Li Guang shouted: "Stop, children!"

Seeing that the eunuchs had stopped, Ma Wensheng also yelled tacitly: "Colleagues, stop!"

Li Guangguang walked up to Ma Wensheng: "Mr. Ma's department. Do you want to lead the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty to fight the emperor?"

Ma Wensheng said seriously: "We are defending the court law for the emperor! We are showing our loyalty!"

Li Guang said angrily: "Okay, okay! Jiang Mian is rebellious, Chang Feng is rebellious, you, Ma Wensheng, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all rebellious! I'll go find Eunuch Qian, who is in charge of the East Factory. Let the servants of the East Factory take care of you!"

At this moment, Chang Feng walked into Bingma Division.

Chang Feng said: "The emperor has a decree. Xuan Jiang Mian will enter the palace to see him."

Jiang Mian said: "Forgive me! I need to guard the prison gate!"

Chang Feng was a little embarrassed: "Jiang Yushi, everything is only three. If you don't go to the palace, it will be the third time to resist the edict today."

Ma Wensheng said to Jiang Mian: "Jiang Yushi, you go. We will guard the prison door."

Jiang Mian nodded slightly, and followed Chang Feng to the palace.

On the way, Chang Feng said to Jiang Mian: "Jiang Yushi, once you enter the palace, don't confront the emperor."

Jiang Mian said: "Don't worry, Chang Tongzhi. Although I am straight, I am not circuitous."

The two entered the main hall of Qianqing Palace and saluted Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi did not let the two die.Silent.

What do you say?Order Jiang Mian to release three relatives?Maybe it will touch a nose.

Punish Jiang Mian?People enforce the law impartially.

You can't ask Jiang Mian if he ate it, what he ate, whether it tastes good, right?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Mian took the initiative to speak: "Report to the emperor. As a censor, I have the responsibility of admonishing. I have a word, please accept the emperor's advice."

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Let's play."

Jiang Mian said righteously: "Master Xianzong once ordered the family of the relatives not to set up shops and open shops, and compete with the people for profit."

"Current honorary officials such as Marquis Shouning, Uncle Jianchang, Uncle Changning, etc. cannot abide by the order of the former emperor, and let evil servants and local ruffians line up the thoroughfare, inviting to intercept merchants."

"Emperor Taizong once decreed that there should be 20 servants of princes and princes, and no more than 12 of the first rank. Today, there are hundreds of servants in Beijing, which is a big violation of the old rules. During the period, there were many rascals in the market, oppressing good people, and the people complained endlessly."

"Today, the two families of Zhang and Zhou have disputes over dirty interests, instigating two or 3000 evil servants and ruffians to fight in the marketplace. It will damage the prestige of the court and the emperor's name."

"I ask the emperor to issue a decree to severely punish Zhang and Zhou. All foreign relatives who open shops and restaurants will be stopped."

"In addition, please order the Metropolitan Procuratorate to announce the prohibition. Those who harass merchants and take advantage of the people's interests will be punished by the patrolling censor and the department."

Jiang Mian's words are well-founded.Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to say: "Approve."

Jiang Mian cupped his hands: "Dare to ask the emperor, how do you plan to punish the first prince and the second uncle?"

Emperor Hongzhi's face changed: "Is it true that how I punish my relatives should be reported to the Xuncheng Censor?"

Jiang Mian said: "I don't mean that. The fight between the two foreign relatives caused a sensation in the capital. If it is not punished severely, it may be hard to convince the hearts of the officials and the people. It will damage the holy name!"

Since ancient times, it is not easy to be a holy king, and it is not easy to keep a holy name.

Emperor Hongzhi was helpless, so he had to say: "Order Jin Yiwei to have one marquis and two uncles each with thirty sticks. They will be imprisoned for one month and fined for three years! Jiang Mian, are you satisfied?"

Jiang Mianshan shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Jiang Mian's goal of punishing his relatives was achieved.But he threw the hot potato to Chang Feng.

Let Jin Yi and Wei Tingzhang two relatives?

Although Jin Yiwei's execution fighters all have jobs in their hands.Able to skillfully use "strike", "strike hard", and "strike with heart".

Ketingzhang's big stick is not a rolling pin.Thirty battles will not hurt the muscles and bones, but it will also bruise the skin!

Beating those three to pieces was tantamount to offending Empress Zhang and Empress Dowager Zhou.

Chang Feng received the order.First, go to Nancheng Bingmasi prison to bring out Zhang Heling, Zhang Yanling, and Zhou Yu.

Zhang Heling was overjoyed: "Brother Chang, you are here to save us!"

Zhang Yanling asked: "Brother Chang, has Jiang Mian been taken to imperial prison?"

Zhou Yu complained: "That Zhima official should be smashed to pieces! Dare to arrest me, the earl, hmph, I've eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's guts!"

Chang Feng smiled wryly: "There is a decree. Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling, Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling, and Changning Bo Zhou Yu will be punished with thirty court sticks. They will be imprisoned for one month. They will also be fined for three years."

The three were stunned.

Zhang Heling asked: "Brother Chang, did you convey the wrong order? The emperor wants to spank our ass?"

Chang Feng finally couldn't bear it anymore.He scolded Zhang Heling: "You two brothers, as the uncles of the country, actually ordered the evil servants to occupy the fishing market, and even ordered the local gangsters to fight because of the uneven distribution of spoils. It has completely embarrassed the emperor. Shouldn't you be punished?"

Zhang Yanling said: "It's just selling some fish and shrimp to earn some money. What a big deal!"

Chang Feng sighed: "Oh. How come you don't know what's wrong?"

Zhou Yu coaxed Yangzi: "Oh, it is said that Chang Tu of Jinyiwei is the empress's man. Why don't you even protect the empress's two younger brothers!"

Chang Feng stared at Zhou Yu: "You have also disgraced the Empress Dowager!"

Zhou Yu said angrily: "I don't believe it, there are still people in this world who dare to spank my ass!"

Chang Feng ordered: "Bring back to Jinyiwei!"

When Ma Wensheng and other civil officials saw this, they all applauded.

Chang Feng escorted the three of them back to Jinyiwei.He found Lao Qi, the execution chief banner.

Chang Feng asked Qi Zongqi: "Is there any way to hit the thirty court sticks without hurting the fur of the three uncles?"

When a person reaches a certain position, he must learn to compromise and give in.Be cowardly when you should be cowardly.

As the treasurer of Jin Yiwei, he absolutely cannot offend Kun Ning Palace and Compassion Ning Palace at the same time.

According to Chang Feng's original intention, they should be beaten thirty court sticks severely to let them have a long memory.

But Chang Feng couldn't do that.

If Jin Yiwei encounters difficult things in the future, he will inevitably ask Queen Zhang to give Emperor Hongzhi a pillow.

Qi Zongqi smiled wryly: "Master Chang, even the lowest level of 'hitting' will be torn apart after thirty sticks."

"The weight of the big stick used by the imperial staff is placed there."

Chang Feng said: "Then use your hands and feet on the big stick? After all, the emperor only ordered the court stick, and didn't say that all officials should watch the punishment."

"Why don't you wrap the lower end of the stick with cowhide?"

Qi Zongqi nodded: "This method is good. I will order the wrestlers who execute the execution to be superficial."

Chang Feng instructed Shi Wenyi again: "You cleared out three cells. Take all the furnishings from my house."

"During the period when the three uncles are detained in the imperial prison, you will take care of them. Eat, drink and treat them well."

Serving people is the profession of "big guy" Shi Wenyi.

Shi Wenyi cupped his hands: "Master Chang, don't worry. I will definitely make the three uncles feel at home."

Chang Feng sighed: "Oh! What's the matter!"

In the court, there will always be helpless things.How can you do things exactly as you want.

The executioner used a big stick wrapped in cowhide to beat the three uncles with thirty court sticks each.

The three uncles lived in the super VIP presidential suite in the jail.

This is the end of the brawl farce caused by the unequal distribution of spoils among foreign relatives.

Ten days later, Emperor Hongzhi had dissipated his anger towards Jiang Mian.

It has to be said that Ming Jun is Ming Jun.

He made a decree to transfer Jiang Mian back to the Imperial Academy as editor.

The official seven-rank patrol city censor was transferred back to the Imperial Academy to be the editor of the seventh rank, which is a transfer at the same level.

But a sentence was added in the decree: Jiang Mian was ordered to concurrently serve as the school secretary of the Sijing Bureau, and to serve the East Palace to give lectures.

This is a great gift.From then on, Jiang Mian became one of the many senior and junior teachers of Prince Zhu Houzhao.

And the prince will be the emperor in the future.At that time, Jiang Mian will have the status of emperor teacher.

This decree shows Emperor Hongzhi's affirmation of Jiang Mian's impartial law enforcement.

This is a wise decision.In history, the butterfly effect is everywhere.

Emperor Hongzhi was tolerant and generous, and did not end Jiang Mian's political life.

And Jiang Mian, at the critical moment more than 20 years later, will contribute to quelling the dangerous rebellion that is related to the survival of Ming Dynasty.

One month later, the twelfth day of the first month of the eighth year of Hongzhi.

Chang Feng personally opened the prison door for the Zhang brothers and Zhou Yu.

Zhang Heling stretched his waist: "It can be regarded as seeing the sun again!"

Chang Feng told him: "Shou Ninghou, my brother Heling! Back then when the vultures would make trouble, I saved the lives of both of you."

"If you still recognize me as a lifesaver, listen to my advice and restrain yourself in the capital!"

Zhang Heling was a little impatient: "I know, I know!"

Dogs can't change eating shit.
