Lu Bing handed the tea bowl to Huang Jin, and after taking over the newsstand and looking at it, he learned the reason for Emperor Jiajing's anger this time.
The little prince begged for tribute to open the horse market, but the court did not allow it, and the little prince was furious, so he rate a hundred thousand riders into trouble. The northwestern natives also harass their borders.
After Lu Bing finished reading, he rolled up the battle report. Emperor Jiajing said: "Compared with this, the few pirates and Japanese pirates who can't get to the shore are nothing to worry about. Those carpenters, potters, and pearl pickers are nothing more than ringworms. Those civil servants don’t say anything, and I don’t even bother to mention it. , The provincial provoke them to come and scream in my ears."
Lu Bing was silent, and Emperor Jiajing frowned and continued: "But this Mongolia is different. This is a big problem! I don't want them to come to Beijing again."
After the Yuan Dynasty defeated the Song Dynasty and occupied the Central Plains, Daming took the country from the hands of the prairie people. Daming learned a good thing, that is, regard the prairie people as the enemy of life and death, and dare not relax for a moment. The capital was originally designated to allow the emperor to guard the country.
Put the capital in a place only a few hundred kilometers away from Mongolia, and warn the emperors of Ming Dynasty, no matter how muddy, they must resist the prairie wolf for their own lives!
But it was really effective. Since the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia has almost never had a chance to enter the barrier. The farthest attack was the civil change and it hit the city of Beijing. Although it is shameful to be beaten to the capital and take an emperor abducted, it is still far from destroying the country.
Lu Bing comforted: "Today's Daming is not the Daming at the time of civil change. Since the sage ascended the throne, there have been many reforms, the effect is obvious, and the national strength is booming. Since they dare to come, then we will just send them away. But. "Lu Bing turned around here and asked tentatively, "This horse market, there are common things, and it's not too bad."
Emperor Jiajing shook his head and said: "You, I have stayed in Jinyiwei for a long time. I only understand Jinyiwei's stuff, but don't understand war. I don't allow the horse market. In fact, it is a slow fire method. That grassland is poor in resources and lacks iron. Salt. I want them to make weapons without iron, and weaken their bodies without salt. Moreover, the people on the prairie are used to eating meat, so I cut off their tea and made them feel uncomfortable in the next five years! Haha!"
After listening to this, Lu Bing probably understood the attitude of Emperor Jiajing. For the emperor, no matter how much a horse market earns, it is a small profit compared to his country. .
Lu Bing bowed his hand to compliment: "Your Majesty Shengming, it is so profitable and harmless to weaken his national power without moving the sword and spear! Since your Majesty is already well-informed, why bother."
Emperor Jiajing sighed: "Of course, my anger was not just because of the little prince and the mere savages. The little prince didn’t come for a stroll that year. What I hate is that the foreign enemies are not destroyed and the civil strife continues. The officials can't stop."
The Emperor Jiajing was a little upset, and continued: "In fact, this matter has already been discussed, and Wang Xian of the Ministry of War, Shangshu, etc., gathered together and ordered Tang Long and Li Zhi to fight against the bandits. But today Tang Long actually played for the benefit of the army. This military family established the country. Since then, they have been self-sufficient, and the court has allocated land to tax exemption. Now I have been beaten to the door of my house, and I have come to ask for payment. If this is the case, why do you want them? Daming's military and civilians are so useless?"
Emperor Jiajing took a breath. His physique was too weak. He motioned to Huang Jin to take out his pill and took one pill. After a while, his face flushed, and he really became energetic.
Emperor Jiajing eased his spirit and continued: "That Tang Long is obviously Wang Xian's person. I gave him face and promised Tang Long to lead the military in this battle. Now that I have nothing to do, I came to me with a shy face. I'm asking for money! Wang Xian actually didn't have the face to support Tang Long's payment today. I really want to hit him with a hundred court staff!"
This court rod has a long history. The "Han Ji" states: During the Ming Dynasty, political affairs were severe, so all officials were whip rods."
By the time of Ming Dynasty, it officially became a system. The court rod is generally made of chestnut wood. The end of the hitting person is cut into a mallet shape, and it is covered with iron sheet. There are barbed hooks on the iron sheet. If you hit it down, the executioner will pull it back and the sharp barb will cause you to be tortured. A large piece of flesh was torn from the human body.
If the executioner does not show mercy, not to mention sixty strokes, that is thirty strokes, and the victim's flesh and skin will be torn apart by repeated blows and catches. Many officials who were tortured died under the palace staff. Even if they do not die, nine out of ten people will be disabled for life. The highest number of court rods is one hundred, but this has no practical significance. After hitting seven or eighty, the person is dead. There are very few surviving records for people with a hundred staff. Eighty of the court staff means that both feet have reached the threshold of Lord Yan.
However, the court can be divided into "hard beating" and "hard beating". As for the style of play to be adopted, the prison officer will decide according to the emperor's secret order. If the prisoner's toes are opened, then it is a "hard beating", which may lead to disability. , But it can save a life. And if the prison officer’s toes are closed, then he is "beating with his heart," and the minister to be sentenced will undoubtedly die. Liu Jin, a traitorous eunuch, had died of 23 ministers in the Wumen stick.
Emperor Jiajing ascended to the throne, because of the big etiquette, he did not use the palace staff less. At the strongest time, there were 134 people on the court at the same time, and 16 of them died on the spot. Hundreds of people were stripped of their clothes and lined up under His Royal Highness Taihe. Hundreds of sticks rose and fell at the same time.
Hearing the Emperor Jiajing mentioned the palace staff, Lu Bing Surong handed over his hands and said: "At this time, it is better not to move the palace staff arbitrarily, otherwise it will block the words and deceive the sight and hearing of the sage. Those sour scholars have to arrange again. Your majesty’s right and wrong has defiled your majesty’s wiseness. It is detrimental to the emperor’s might!"
Hearing Lu Bing's "great ritual discussion" in advance, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but look at him, and when he heard Lu Bing talk about the scholars, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Huh, it's still less playing!"
When Emperor Jiajing entered Beijing as a vassal king to take over Datong, Jiajing’s biological father Xingxianxianxian, but the Emperor Jiajing insisted on adding the emperor's title to his biological father, so it was triggered. "At first, we competed for examination, emperor, emperor, then temples and roads, and finally temples and music and dance." Controversy. This controversy lasted for three years. After many thrilling political struggles, the Emperor Jiajing finally won. Jiajing changed the ceremony, renamed Xiaozong as the imperial test, and the biological father as the imperial test, and compiled "The Collection of Rituals" and "Minglun". Dadian.
This three-year political struggle finally ended with the high pressure of the monarchy. Emperor Jiajing was full of wings and experienced how to exercise the supreme majesty of imperial power through the process of ritual discussion.
In the meantime, countless officials were imprisoned by the imperial rod, which became a big killer for Emperor Jiajing to win, and the more he used it, the easier he handled, and finally the "Left Shun Men Incident" occurred.
On July 12 of the third year of Jiajing, the Emperor Jiajing issued an edict to the Ministry of Ritual. On the 14th, he wrote articles for his parents, sacrificed to heaven and earth, ancestral temple, and sheji. The officials were in an uproar.
At the end of the morning dynasty, Yang Shen, Wang Yuanzheng and more than two hundred people fell at the Zuoshunmen, shaking the door and crying, saying to themselves, "The country has been raising a scholar for one hundred and fifty years. It is today!"
Subsequently, Wang Yuanzheng, Zhang Chong and others blocked the retention of the officials at the south of Jinshuiqiao, and He Mengchun, Jin Xianmin, Xu Wenhua and others called on the officials. Afterwards, more than two hundred court ministers knelt at Zuo Shunmen and asked Sejong to change his will.
However, Emperor Jiajing ordered the people to be sent down to the prison, and 16 people died on the spot.
Ten days later, Yang Shenji, Liu Ji, An Pan and other seven people gathered in the court to cry bitterly, and were once again caught by the court. Yang Shen, Wang Yuanzheng, and Liu Ji were all banned.
Lu Bing admires Yang Ting and his father and son very much, especially likes the song "Linjiang Immortals" made by Yang Shen during his demotion.
the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero. Success or failure turned around, the green hills were still there, and the sunset was red for several times.
