Feng Heming

Chapter 186
Jiang Taifu has always had a good reputation in Beiliang for many years. Whenever people in the capital mentioned Jiang Taifu, they would be full of respect.

Moreover, Jiang Taifu is a calm person, and he has extended a helping hand to many people. Many people present have received the favor of the Taifu. He has devoted himself to his duties for many years, and having him as the Taifu has well coordinated the conflicts between the aristocratic family and the poor family. , and because the Taifu was him, he put an end to the open and secret struggles among the five surnames, not to mention that when Jiang Taifu faced some unreliable government orders from Chen Xiong, he dared to refute the edicts of the Holy Majesty, and did not report the edicts to the lower levels. With Jiang Taifu present, the court could barely run smoothly.

Once the Holy Majesty executes Jiang Taifu under such circumstances, the first person who is dissatisfied with the Holy Majesty must be General Zheng, who has been kind to [-]% of the soldiers and horses in the world.

It must be known that General Zheng followed the late emperor to conquer east and west, and there were many arrogant soldiers under his command. Even though these people are not under General Zheng's command now, no one knows whether they will obey the old master when General Zheng gives an order. You must know that these people have scattered legions all over the place, and if they do something wrong, the army will have to make the Holy One suffer.

If there is a family, if Jiang Taifu dies, no one can make the five surnames compromise with each other, and there is the intention of death, the emperor will execute the Taifu who is the head of all officials at will, what about the others?

The poor courtiers knew how much the family looked down on the poor family and the royal family. Once the family stood down from the court, they all trembled and prayed in their hearts, hoping that the Holy Majesty would not be radical.

This is different from yesterday's impeachment. Yesterday, only half of the courtiers impeached the crown prince, but now everyone bowed down and knelt down to plead for Jiang Taifu!

Chen Xiongsen looked at all this in front of him coldly, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Taifu, a flash of murderous intent disappeared in a flash, his hands on the dragon table were clenched into fists.

There was a silence in the hall.

Just when many people were in fear, Chen Xiong suddenly said: "Since so many people begged for the Taifu's mercy, the death penalty can be spared, but the death penalty is inevitable! Come here! The Taifu has failed to discipline all the officials, and the stick is responsible for thirty boards!"

The humble courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, but the aristocratic families changed their colors one after another.

Since ancient times, the generals have never been humiliated!

The Holy Majesty had the courtier yesterday, which has set an unprecedented precedent. The courtiers who were sceptered yesterday were all ashamed of it, and now the Holy Majesty wants the Taifu!
Asking Taifu Jiang to take off his official robe and be beaten between the buttocks with a cane in full view of the public, this is to make the Taifu lose face!

When did the family suffer such humiliation?

Li Taiwei, Cui Da Sikong and the others wanted to speak out to stop them, even if it was a different method of punishment, whether it was to punish the salary or make the Tai Tuo think about his mistakes behind closed doors, it was better than the court stick!
Jiang Taifu kowtowed to thank everyone first, "Old minister, thank the Holy One for your kindness!"

He stood up, took off his official hat, held it in his hand, turned around and walked outside the hall, waited for the guards to prepare the bench, took off his official robe, leaned over the bench, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, old man Ready."

The courtiers came out one after another, watching Jiang Taifu's court stick, Jiang Song trembling, clenching his teeth, watching his old father being beaten with the stick in front of his eyes without saying a word, but he was helpless.

This feeling of powerlessness is really fucking uncomfortable, Jiang Song thought bitterly.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng and the others already had tears in their eyes, seeing the Tai Tuo being humiliated in order to save their lives, killing them was nothing but nodding, they would rather be killed than see the Tai Tuo suffer this humiliation, it's a pity they can't live up to it Taifu did everything for them.

After the thirty court rods were beaten, Jiang Taifu's thighs were already stained with blood, his face was pale, and cold sweat was seeping. After all, he was no longer a young man. When the guards retreated, Jiang Song had already rushed forward, and carefully helped his old father up. He asked worriedly, "Father, are you okay?"

Jiang Taifu twitched the corners of his mouth, "I still can't die."

When they came closer, Yu Shi Zhongcheng and the others felt even more guilty when they heard Jiang Taifu's words. Yu Shi Zhongcheng stepped forward and supported Jiang Taifu on the other side.

Jiang Taifu stopped and said in a low voice, "Bring the old man's official robe."

Zhou Pengxing hurriedly handed him his official robe, Jiang Taifu supported the pain, put on the official robe, put on the official hat, adjusted his appearance, and then let Jiang Song and Yu Shi Zhongcheng help him into the hall.

When he was in the hall, he gently broke free from the hands of the two, and kowtowed again, "The old minister has received his punishment and returned, thanking the Holy One for his grace."

Chen Xiong glanced at it, and obviously felt that there was something different among the courtiers after Jiang Taifu received the imperial staff, but he hadn't noticed the difference yet.

Seeing that Taifu Jiang was as calm and calm as before, Chen Xiong became more and more dissatisfied. He should have let Taifu Jiang retreat home to seek medical treatment from the imperial physician, but he chose to keep Taifu Jiang, "Teacher Jiang, my humerus, my humerus, my humerus. I can't do without, I need Taifu's help in many things, since Taifu has been punished and returned, then the court will continue."

As soon as this remark came out, anger appeared in the eyes of many people, and Jiang Song clenched his fists tightly. If he was not rational, he would have cursed.

Chen Xiong's actions made even poor courtiers feel a little bit chilled, this was to delay the Taifu's diagnosis and treatment, and to consume the Taifu to death!
Censor Zhongcheng and others were very disappointed with Chen Xiong, they allowed the prince to kill and humiliate the courtiers, and now they are even killing the Taifu. Why is such a royal family worth their lives?

The most frightening thing is that there are not a few courtiers who are disappointed with the royal family with such thoughts.

Without Chen Xiong's knowledge, he managed to make most of the courtiers alienate him, but he didn't know it. He only had to watch Jiang Taifu crumbling and had to brace himself to listen to the court meeting, and Jiang Taifu's face became paler and paler. , Cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead, and his heart felt extremely happy.

This old man will have such a day!
When Chen Xuan saw that Jiang Taifu, the head of all the officials, was also beaten by his father, he hummed in his heart. A group of jumping clowns wanted to jump, but they didn't want to see if there was such a fate!

He glanced vaguely at the crowd at Yushitai, and felt a little bit in his heart, regretfully thinking that it was the old man's fault that these five annoying grasshoppers didn't die.

When Chen Xiong announced that there was something to be done, no one made a statement. According to the usual practice, he usually retreated at this time. When Chen Xiong saw these people doing this for the old man Jiang Taifu, he sneered and took the initiative to bring up the matter of spring plowing. Regarding water conservancy matters, people can speak freely by name and address, and one person refuses to stop after talking about it, and people continue to ask for suggestions.

Finally, after two quarters of an hour, Jiang Taifu couldn't hold on, his body became unstable, and he fell down.

"Father!" Jiang Song shouted heartbreakingly, stepped forward and carefully caught Jiang Taifu's body.

The hall was in chaos in an instant.
