The cabinet ministers Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian, the ministers of the Ministry of Households Zhong Zhong, the ministers of the Ministry of Punishment Bai Ang, and the left minister of the Ministry of Rites Zhang Sheng said at the same time.

They will unite closely around His Majesty the wise and mighty Emperor Hongzhi, and strive to do their best for this task and never slack off!

Do your best to win the battle for the construction of Chunwei Academy, and make due contributions to the great cause of material selection for the empire and the grand event of the imperial examination.

His Majesty Emperor Hongzhi solemnly stated that the construction of Chunwei Academy is time-consuming and heavy tasks, and all departments need to strengthen coordination and not neglect!

At the same time, His Majesty Emperor Hongzhi instructed Zhang Lun, the person in charge of the "Imperial Times", a famous poet and poet in the empire.

It is necessary to coordinate the tone of public opinion and cooperate with this major and severe arrest and punishment operation of the empire.

Mr. Zhang Lun immediately stated that the "Imperial Times" is the mouthpiece of the country and criticizes current abuses!

I will, along with my colleagues in the "Imperial Times", continue to support the imperial court and His Majesty Emperor Hongzhi!

This history called "the Ming Empire's first comprehensive action to crack down on and punish all kinds of crimes", and it was slowly taking shape at this time.

The next day, the old Duke Zhang of the British government began to send some servants and family members to Zhuangzi outside the city to live temporarily.

However, the domestic servants of the British government did not have many activities, so that no one noticed this at all.

On the same day, His Majesty the Emperor Hongzhi summoned the three major scholars, the three ministers of Hu Gong Xing, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Jing Zhaoyin, and the commander of Wucheng soldiers and horses.

At the same time, the British official Zhang Mao, who was in charge of the Beijing camp, was also summoned and did not leave in a hurry until evening.

Some people smelled a slight difference, but no one doubted that Emperor Hongzhi often summoned his ministers to discuss matters.

On the third day, the Ministry of Industry sent construction to the outskirts of the city to measure the land and seemed to prepare for the construction.

The latest article in the "Empire Times" reported that Jiang Chao Jiang Tianxin, editor-in-chief of the Times, personally learned about it from Zhang Baiya, Minister of Rites, and Bai Tingyi, Minister of Household Affairs.

Guochao has come to a conclusion on the matter of Chunwei, and the last time His Majesty summoned many ministers and workers was to discuss this matter.

According to His Majesty's intention, a new tribute courtyard will be built for the meeting and the hall.

This matter is still in the planning and needs the cooperation of various departments. When the country makes a decision, it will release the residence report.

Everyone take a look, oh!So that's the case. No wonder His Majesty has recently summoned the British company in charge of the five cities' soldiers and horses, who is in charge of the Beijing camp.

It is estimated that this is to use the two parties to cooperate with the corvee, otherwise there will be enough manpower to build a tribute courtyard in front of Chunwei!

There is also a precedent for this matter. His Majesty also ordered Jingying to build Yuantong Temple.

Later, this matter was dissuaded by Zhang Laogong, so he gave up.

His Majesty summoned the five city soldiers and horses and the British Duke, probably because he wanted to send the Beijing camp to participate in the construction!

The 14th year of Hongzhi's [-]th year is coming, and everyone can't help but calm down and spend this beautiful day first.

The so-called "self-pity ends with a small body, and a little heart refuses to lose heart. When the season comes, the cold flames will blow, and there will be a thunder on everyone's head."

This was written by Li Chun, Li Pu'an, a young man who was the number one scholar in Ding Chou's division in the first year of Emperor Yingzong's Tianshun.

This poem illustrates one thing. Probably the two kicks appeared in the early Ming Dynasty.

All the rich and powerful relatives, and the city foxes and social rats would still tease this little lady in the street and touch that foreign businessman on this day.

Now that I have this day, I am even more perverse, squatting in front of the gates of major palaces and temples when I have nothing to do.

Let's see which young lady is beautiful, and then comment on it, and go up to hook up with her pretending to be a gifted scholar.

In order to please the young master of the master's family, the slaves and servants worked hard to shout and drive people away on the street.

From time to time, he rolls up his sleeves and fights fiercely with those who are staring at his young master to show his loyalty.

Every year when the new year comes, the most annoying thing is the soldiers and horses of the five cities.

And those city foxes and social mice who are usually honest, also took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune and flopped around.

Jing Zhaoyin was even more troubled to blow up, and he could receive at least thirty or forty cases a day.

The older girl and the younger daughter-in-law wept and pointed at the children of the rich and noble relatives who were arrogant and dressed in brocade robes beside them, crying and complaining that they molested themselves.

A few businessmen from other places, old and young, came crying to sue him for their money, but a few scoundrels from Chenghusheshu took it away.

There are also slaves and servants who beat people, smashed people's stalls, rascals used tricks... and so on.

However, this time Wucheng Bingmasi and Jing Zhaoyin were extremely calm. After carefully registering various information, they indicated that they would investigate.

He ordered the scoundrels and rich and noble relatives to go back first, and appeased the girls, merchants, hawkers...etc. The crowd asked them to go back and wait for the news.

Those rich and noble relatives, valiant servants and slaves sneered in their hearts, fooling these ordinary people like this every year.

At most, Jing Zhaoyin and Wucheng Bingma Si sent people to their homes to reprimand them, and the most serious thing was to impeach them.

What else can I do to myself? !But all the advantages were taken, so the rich and noble relatives didn't care about it, and walked away with their own slaves and servants.

What they didn't know was that at this time, the Ministry of Criminal Justice had already begun to sort out the cases filed against the capital over the years.

Almost all the appealed cases have been reviewed, and a large number of Wucheng Bingmasi and Jingzhao Yin Yamen servants were sent out to find out the situation for no reason.

The two most hidden violent organizations in the capital, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, are working together to conduct a thorough investigation and provide evidence of the crimes committed by these rich and noble relatives.

It was also at this time that the three great scholars, the two great ministers, and one minister were all moved. No wonder the emperors of all dynasties liked these two institutions so much.

It's not too easy to use, they usually stare at these princes and grandchildren, rich and noble relatives.

At this time, it is almost a one-time check to check them, and it doesn't take a day from checking to providing evidence.

The Ministry of Punishment was all closed inside and not allowed to go out, and everyone began to plan minor and serious crimes by category.

Penalty is the key point. All kinds of crimes have accumulated. The officials of the Criminal Ministry were shocked to find that the highest personal fine reached 3000 taels...

After specific statistics, at least 5000 people were put into labor reform, and more than [-] people were put into correctional reform.

The Ministry of Industry reported the budget, and after accounting by the Ministry of Households, it was considered that the amount was almost enough.

.

Chapter 173 All wealthy and noble relatives are arrested, and the city foxes and rats are all locked

The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Household Affairs... and even Jing Zhaoyin and Jing Ying frequently went in and out of Da Nei during the Chinese New Year, and orders one by one were quickly issued to various departments.

According to Zhang Xiaogong's suggestion, a public trial meeting will be held this time, and the verdict will be read out and pronounced in public.

Then pay the victims money to reflect the mighty grace of the emperor and the majesty of the imperial legal system.

For this reason, many officials from the Ministry of Punishment and the Imperial Academy were promoted to be proficient in the law, and they were going to be the presiding judges of the public trial at that time.

On the first month of the Yuan Dynasty, there are lanterns on the eve of the Yuan Dynasty.

The capital is bustling as in previous years, and the rich and noble relatives are leading the way in their respective homes, as in previous years.

Dangling in the lantern field arrogantly, but at any rate, Jing Zhaoyin posted many times at home some time ago.

So he was reprimanded a little bit, but he didn't dare to be too domineering after all.

Played in the brothel for a while, then went to the scene of the lantern to play a drunken madness and smashed a few stalls.

The city foxes and social mice took the opportunity to touch porcelain, touch money bags, beat a few sap sticks to get a few sums of money, and sighed with a smile that this Lantern Festival is really good.

As the night darkened and the lanterns were removed, the crowd gradually dispersed...

At this time, the imperial study room in the palace was brightly lit, and Emperor Hongzhi sat on the dragon chair with a solemn expression on his face.

There are seven or eight tables under the steps of the dragon chair in the imperial study room. There are three major scholars, three ministers of Xinghugong, and Zhang Sheng, the servant of the Ministry of rites.

At the same time, all kinds of news that came in hastily were processed here, and orders were issued and executed one after another.

At three o'clock, the soldiers and horses of the five cities came to report that the nine gates were closed and the whole city was locked.

At six o'clock in the ugly hour, Jingzhao Yin inspector came to report that all the neighborhoods had been emptied and there were no more pedestrians.

At the four quarters of Yin time, the Ministry of Punishment, Jing Zhaoyin, Wucheng Bingmasi... all preparations have been completed.

At five quarters of Yin time, the British official Zhang Mao came to report that the Beijing camp had all assembled and was waiting for His Majesty's order to leave at any time.

At six quarters of the Yin hour, Xiao Jing and Mou Bin came to report that Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Da Nei Guards were all ready!

At the seventh quarter of Yin time, all the people stood with hands down in the imperial study room, waiting for the emperor's final order.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Hongzhi lowered his eyebrows and slowly said three words: "Let's start."

"Here!!"

At the last moment of Yinshi, the city that seemed to have fallen asleep after the Lantern Festival suddenly woke up.

If there is a drone looking down from the sky at this time, you can see the whole city from the front of the central Da Nei Imperial City Gate to the Nine Gates.

Suddenly, countless fire dragons appeared, and under the firelight was an army wearing armor and holding weapons in a murderous formation.

Holding torches in silence, "Ka Ka Ka...", they began to march on the streets of the capital.

A series of black figures sprang out from nowhere to lead the way.

At the same time, figures in official robes and soap clothes continued to merge into this torrent of steel, and there were officials who scolded those residents who wanted to open the door to check.

Looking at the expressions of those yamen servants and the officials and armored guards passing by, the fool also knows that he can't get involved in this matter!

He hurriedly closed the door and locked it, and added a few beams to support it, and then went back and shivered with his wife and children in his arms.

"Boom~!" The mansion of Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, was the first to suffer, and the people from Wucheng Bingmasi didn't talk nonsense to you at all.

He knocked open the mansion of Marquis of Shouning with one blow of the hammer, and then countless figures "rumbling..." stepped into the mansion.

A few black figures quickly sprang out of the mansion amidst the wailing and screaming, they made several gestures to lead the way.

"Who dares to trespass into my residence of Marquis Shouning? Could it be for zàofǎn!!"

Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, was miserable, with disheveled hair, disheveled hair, and black eye sockets.

It was the Lantern Festival yesterday, he was just in the brothel with his brother Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling hay~hay~everybody!

I tossed and tossed all the way until midnight before going home to rest, but I was woken up by the bomb after not sleeping for a while.

"Take it down!" The official from the Ministry of Punishment said solemnly, "Your Majesty orders that the Ministry of Punishment, Jing Zhaoyin, and the five city soldiers and horses... work together to enforce the law!"

"Dare to disobey, according to military law!"

Zhang Heling was taken aback when he heard the words, and then wanted to shout.

But the servants in soap clothes who had to avoid seeing him on weekdays laughed grinningly and threw two water and fire sticks at him and pressed him down!

"Some powerful slaves and servants are all locked up according to the list, and they are not allowed to touch their wealth and women!!"

Amidst the shouting and shouting, countless figures began to follow the guidance of those Dongchang and Jinyiwei fans, pressing down one by one.

Zhang Heling's face was terrified, and he howled mournfully: "My sister is the queen! I want to see your majesty! I want to see my empress!!"

"Slap~!" Seeing that the official of the Ministry of Punishment slapped him directly, he said in a cold voice, "Stop making noise, fifty slaps!"

The Beatles, panic, coercion, Zhang Heling wisely chose to keep his mouth shut, and looked pitifully at his helpers being knocked down one by one.

A few self-holding Kong Wu tried to resist, and then they were kicked and cracked by a few soldiers and horses.

After a few blows, he was so loud that he couldn't even yell, so he was put in chains and suffered a few heartbreaks before he got up and followed.

How dare I provoke someone!I'll just come back with some flower wine, I really didn't cause trouble!

Zhang Heling was about to cry, when he walked out the door, he could see countless torches lighting up the entire capital.

The few rich and noble relatives on the side of his Hou's mansion did not run away, and a lot of disheveled young masters and masters were dragged out.

Followed by a large group of their helpers on weekdays, those powerful servants who usually held their heads high and angered their horses and clothes were miserable now.

Several people with disheveled hair and a swollen pig's head limped along in chains and mourned in the team.

After walking forward for a while, the miserable old Zhang suddenly felt much more at ease.

why?Because the people in the front are even worse, they are wealthy and noble relatives anyway, so they have the sense to not kill, maim, or seriously injure.

But those city foxes and social rats who are not doing well on weekdays are not so lucky, and they will be fed water and fire sticks first when they go up.

The spears and crossbows of Si Xueliang, soldiers and horses from the five cities, were pressed against their foreheads, and none of them dared to sway them.

He squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and took a solid beating before he was picked up, locked and taken away.

Mr. Hu Chengxi, Mr. Bald Zhou from the south of the city, Third Brother Zhao of the Feiying Gang... etc. were all beaten into pigs' heads and taken away.

Seeing Zhang Heling and other rich and noble relatives, these city foxes and social mice immediately felt more balanced.

It seems that it's not us little people who are unlucky, it's the big guys who are unlucky together!
