Everyone is attacking me

Zhang Xuan, that is, the news of the death of Mr. Zhang, the Yuan and Qing emperors suddenly felt dizzy.

"what happened?"

Obviously, the imperial doctor came back last night to report that there is no serious problem, and it will be fine after a few days of recuperation, why did it suddenly disappear after a night?

Xia Gong replied: "It is said that he had a fever at night and couldn't breathe, so he went before the doctor arrived."

Emperor Yuan and Qing frowned: "Go tell Yang Zhongren and Song Xingxing to take a closer look and see why Zhang Xuan died."

"Wait, where is Xia Chan, did she invite the imperial physician last night?"

Xia Gong shook his head: "Xia Wanshi is fine."

Emperor Yuan Qing didn't care that he misunderstood what he meant, and waved him to go quickly. He faintly felt that this matter was a bit strange. After Zhang Xuan fell into the water, Xia Chan rescued him immediately, and the two also suffered from the cold. Xia Chan also didn't change out of her clammy clothes immediately to plead guilty, but Zhang Xuan died of illness, and she lived in peace.

After pondering for a moment, he called the little eunuch: "Go and call Liang Pingan."

However, doubts are just doubts, and it is also very possible that Zhang Xuan died of the wind and cold. If this is the case, then the matter may not be resolved, and he suddenly has a headache.

If nothing happened to Zhang Xuan, even though Xia Chan pushed him, but he molested and offended female prostitutes first, and Liyuan female prostitutes are also considered his harem, if it is not because of Mrs. An, he can ignore it, or even use the other way to moles the palace He was reprimanded and punished for his concubine's crime.

He "blamed" Xia Chan, which was enough to give the Zhang family face. It was also for this reason that the Zhang family chose to settle the matter yesterday, but now that Zhang Xuan is dead, once he dies, things will change.

Liang Ping'an came in a hurry, and he seemed to have heard about it, and he knelt down as soon as he entered the door: "Your Majesty—"

Emperor Yuanqing knew what he was going to say, and interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Go and drag Xia Chan over here."

Xia Chan had been "blamed" by the stick, so she had to be dragged here.

Liang Ping'an's face changed slightly, and when he looked up to see Emperor Yuan Qing's expression, he was startled and pleaded: "Your Majesty calm down, the matter has not been clarified, it may not be Xia Chan's fault, please Your Majesty..." The voice was in Yuan The Qing Emperor disappeared under his cold gaze, lowered his head, "Yes."

[It's over, it's over, His Majesty is coming...]

When Liang Pingan left, Emperor Yuan Qing ordered the little eunuch: "Pass down the message, if Mrs. An Guo enters the palace, let her come to see me directly."

"Yes." The little eunuch took the order and left.

Emperor Yuan and Qing guessed right, and within a moment, there was a message from the front that Mrs. An Guo had entered the palace. At the same time, Liang Pingan dragged Xia Chan over with the young eunuchs.

Queen and Song Jie also came.

Xia Chan looked frightened: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yuan Qing didn't want to listen to her nonsense, and didn't want to explain too much. He said blankly: "Shut her mouth, take her outside the palace, and beat her. Don't stop until I tell you to stop." Looking at Liang Pingan, "You come in person."

The queen's face changed slightly, she opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

Song Jie was about to jump out almost immediately, but was quickly stopped by the Queen's sharp eyes and hands.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Xia Chan was frightened, and quickly kowtowed for mercy.

This time Emperor Yuan Qing was determined to teach her a lesson, and shook his head: "No, I was wrong, I shouldn't have indulged you in every possible way, why are you still standing there, pull it down!"

Song Jie winked anxiously at the queen. Although he and Xia Chan always had a crush on each other, Xia Chan was a girl anyway, and if they fought like this, something would happen.

The queen pressed his arm and shook her head at him. She was on the side of Emperor Yuan and Qing in today's matter. Xia Chan did make a mistake. Putting aside her identity as a time traveler, no matter what the truth is, she should deal with a court lady. An explanation to Mrs. An is nothing but a trivial matter.

It's not that she is cold-blooded. After all, this is not a modern age that emphasizes human rights. To put it bluntly, court ladies and eunuchs are slaves, and there is no human rights at all. Let alone the emperor, even if she wants to deal with it, it is just a matter of one sentence. What has she done for four years? Queen, counting it, she also had a life in her hands, although she didn't do it herself.

At the same time, there was also regret and self-blame in her heart. She was too relaxed and ignored the psychological changes of these traversers. The initial strangeness and cautiousness passed away, and because of His Majesty's tolerant attitude, she gradually returned to her original nature, especially Xia Chan. and Song Jie.

Shao Yan has experienced the doomsday and is determined and will not be easily shaken. Yuan Pei is very smart and she doesn't need to worry about it. Although Liang Ping'an has been here for a long time, because he has been suppressed at the bottom, he is now "high-ranking and powerful" , still impetuous.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, after this year, they have more or less changed. If the identity of the traversers has not been exposed, it will be fine. Maybe they will act cautiously because of the imperial power.

But when their identities were exposed, His Majesty also accepted them and gave them special privileges. In this way, it was as if they had won the gold medal for avoiding death.

What happened today was also a reminder to her, it seems that I have to find a chance to hold a meeting with everyone.

The queen was thinking about it, but Xia Chan had already been gagged and dragged down. Just outside the hall, Liang Ping'an and Xiao Dazi played the board by themselves.

Song Jie couldn't bear to see the situation outside through the glass window, but seeing Emperor Yuan Qing's expression, he still chose to shut up, always thinking that if he begged for mercy, he would not only be unable to help, but would add fuel to the fire.

Hearing the slapping of the board and Xia Chan's uncontrollable groan, cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Thinking about the things he had done, he became terrified.

Liang Ping'an sweated more than he did, his hands trembled every time he hit the board.

"Mrs. An Guo arrived—"

With a notification, the queen immediately pulled Song Jie to kneel in front of Emperor Yuanqing: "...the concubine is the master of the harem, and there is no way to supervise her. I beg your majesty to punish her."

Mrs. An went all the way to the Zichen Hall, saw the punishment outside the hall, and saw the situation inside the hall, the original aggressive aura dropped a bit.

"I have seen His Majesty."

"Old madam is well." Emperor Yuan Qing hurriedly asked Xia Gong to show Mrs. An Guo a seat. Mrs. An Guo was nearly ninety years old, and she was already regarded as a respected person in the Great Wei Dynasty. Respectable.

Mrs. An Guo was a very kind old lady in appearance. She trembled a little when she walked, but she was still in good spirits. She was supported by the close-knit nurse.

Emperor Yuanqing took the initiative and said: "It's because I have no way to discipline, and I told the old lady to see a joke."

As he spoke, he helped the queen up with his own hands.

Mrs. An Guo knew something in her heart, and immediately changed her attitude. She didn't come to the palace to pursue responsibility, she shook her head and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, and the Queen is very good." She was the only one who did not shy away from pointing out that the Emperor Yuan and Qing were wrong, and praised the Empress, except for a few elderly elders in the clan.

"I'm not here to seek justice for brother Xuan, on the contrary, I'm here to plead guilty. It's my lack of discipline that has caused the younger generation to be immoral, and they have done things that bully men and women and humiliate the family. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. "

[I only hope that His Majesty will make a big deal smaller for the sake of showing my old face. 】

Emperor Yuan Qing squinted his eyes. It seemed that Zhang Xuan's death was indeed unusual, or Zhang Xuan had done something that made Mrs. An worry that he would hurt Zhang's family if he found out, so she had to come to intercede.

Since Mrs. An said such a thing regardless of face, he naturally wanted to give face, not to mention he didn't really want to put Xia Chan to death, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "This old lady's words are wrong. Old lady is old, how can she Taking care of all descendants, I am also very heartbroken about Brother Xuan, and I also ask the old lady to express my condolences."

Mrs. An showed pain on her face: "It's just that brother Xuan's fortune is poor and his body is too weak. He suddenly developed a fever at night and left before the doctor arrived. It's really sad. It's just a matter of business. He did some wrong things, and now that he is gone, the old man wants to get some blessings for him, to make up for all the wrong things he did, so that he will suffer less down here."

The old lady looked gloomy, and sighed: "Your Majesty, don't blame that waiter, after all, Brother Xuan made the mistake first."

【Alas, I have completely lost my old face in front of His Majesty. 】

Emperor Yuan and Qing were even more convinced that Zhang Xuan had made a very serious mistake. The old lady was afraid of affecting Zhang's family, so she retreated and said: "Old lady, Gao Jie, I agree with this matter."

Looking out of the window, he said calmly: "Since the old lady does not pursue the matter, let her life be spared and drag her down."

Liang Pingan stopped his hands almost instantly, looked at Xia Chan whose waist was mottled with blood, panicked for a moment, and hurriedly squatted down to look at her face, saw that her eyes were half-opened and still breathing, he was relieved, and immediately greeted the little eunuch We carefully lift people away.

He acted with discretion, so he probably didn't hurt his muscles and bones. With Princess Changle's hemostatic medicine, he will recover soon, but he has to endure some pain.

At this moment, he also gradually regained his senses. Since His Majesty asked him to do it, he obviously didn't want Xia Chan's life. Xia Chan is like this, it's better to suffer a little bit.

And it's time for him to reflect on himself.

Emperor Yuan Qing didn't know what Zhang Xuan had done to make Mrs. An feel ashamed to beg him, but since she could make Mrs. An feel ashamed, it must be a very serious matter, so he planned to expose it. He would listen to the voice of the old lady, but instead wanted to find out.

He didn't let Mrs. An Guo go immediately, but pulled her to chat: "How is the old lady recently?"

Mrs. An Guo coughed: "Oh, it's still strong, but it's not as good as before."

While chatting, Yuan Pei came into the palace, and Emperor Yuan Qing announced him in immediately.

Yuan Pei came in and saw Mrs. Anguo stunned for a moment, and saluted: "The minister is negligent in his duties and cannot give Zhang Sanlang's autopsy report. Please forgive me."

[Come to see His Majesty?Sure enough, there is a problem! 】

Emperor Yuanqing raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Yuan Peidao: "The minister and the envoy Yang Yuan went to Chengenhou's mansion. Zhang Sanlang had already been buried, and Chengenhou didn't want to open a museum for autopsy."

As far as he knows, the first day after the death of the people of the Wei Dynasty, most of them had a small burial, that is, summoning the soul, bathing, shrouding the body, etc., and then they would be buried in a coffin after one or three days. In less than half a day, they were already buried, and Marquis Cheng En stopped them from autopsy with all kinds of excuses, which was really suspicious, but he and Yuan Envoy Yang couldn't force their way into the mourning hall, so they had to take the opportunity to escape and let Envoy Yang hold Cheng's body. Enhou, he came to report to Emperor Yuanqing.

[Oops, this evil obstacle should be investigated, and it is only in secret that it attracts suspicion. 】

Mrs. An's gaze changed slightly. Seeing Emperor Yuan Qing looking over, she said sadly, "Shi Yuan suddenly lost his son. I'm afraid he can't accept this blow for a while and acts a little flustered. I hope His Majesty can't blame it."

Zhang Xuan's father, Zhang Zhao, was named Shiyuan.

I'm afraid it's not as simple as being flustered, Emperor Yuan Qing squinted his eyes, if he hadn't been able to listen to his heart, he might have wiped this matter away because of the old lady's plea, but listening to her voice, he didn't want to, But he didn't reveal it in front of the old lady, he just said indifferently: "The old lady also asks for condolences, since brother Xuan died of illness, I won't disturb his sleep."

After Mrs. An Guo was sent away, Xie Tong was summoned immediately, and he and Yuan Pei were ordered to investigate the matter together.

Jin Yiwei went out and quickly investigated the truth.

The Yuan and Qing emperors originally thought that Zhang Xuan had done some common things like bullying men and women as Mrs. An Guo said, but what Zhang Xuan did was much more serious than this.

It turns out that Zhang Xuan has a special hobby and likes to beat and flog women. Jin Yiwei found out that since Zhang Xuan was 14 years old, one of the maids around him has been lost almost every six months. Looking at the maids who were released, on the contrary, the lives of these maids' families are getting better and better, and some even say that they have made a fortune, but after careful investigation, the sources of wealth they said are all false.

Jin Yiwei took some time to learn the truth from the younger sister of one of the maids. Her sister was not released at all. The younger sister guessed that her sister died in Cheng Enhou's mansion.

Xu was afraid that if the maids disappeared too much, they would be noticed. Since two years ago, the maids around Zhang Xuan no longer disappeared. Instead, they were his concubines. Three of them died of illness one after another. Sudden death due to sudden illness, for which Zhang Xuan's wife got the title of jealous woman, and they all suspected that she was cruel and merciless and could not tolerate concubines.

Yuan Pei secretly opened a museum to conduct an autopsy. All of these people's deaths were strange, and they were all beaten before they died. There were even obvious signs of abuse from the last person who died of illness.

But those maids who disappeared disappeared, and the Jin Yiwei guessed that they might be buried in Zhang's residence.

Emperor Yuan and Qing decisively ordered a search.

Who would have thought that nearly [-] female corpses were dug out from the dry well in a deserted courtyard in Zhang's mansion. After being inspected by Yuan Pei, all of them had been brutally beaten.

As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar.

Emperor Yuan and Qing were furious, and directly ordered Dali Temple to file a case and open a museum for Zhang Xuan's autopsy.

Sure enough, Zhang Xuan didn't die from a cold emergency at all, but was killed by a maid who resisted by mistake.

It turned out that Zhang Xuan was so angry that Xia Chan pushed him off the pond that night, and he lost face in front of everyone, so he vented his anger on Hong'er, the close servant girl, but Hong'er couldn't stand the torture and killed him by mistake.

Zhang Xuan's mother Lin locked up Hong'er until Jin Yiwei came to search and found Hong'er dying in the woodshed in the backyard.

Mrs. Lin hated her so much that she hung her and tortured her day and night.

Yuan Pei stepped forward to feel Hong'er's pulse, then opened her eyelids to look at her, and shook her head: "No, let her family come to see her for the last time."

After a while, Hong'er's parents rushed in, and the two honest farmers rushed to cry when they saw their bloody daughter.

Rao Yuan Pei, who has seen many cases and corpses in modern times, couldn't help but have reddened eyes, and sighed deeply, because it was too miserable, and there was almost no good place on the girl, the most important thing was this The maid named Hong'er is only fifteen.

In modern times, he is still a junior high school student.

Hong'er's eyeballs moved, and she glanced at her parents, as if she was holding her breath just for this moment, then her eyes dimmed, and she died completely.

The reporter who came to follow the news was frightened, covered his mouth and almost spat out, endured it abruptly, and picked up a pencil to record.

When I saw the wreckage dug out from the dry well, I still couldn't help running to the side to vomit.

"Brother Xuan didn't do it!" Lin who was caught by Jin Yiwei had a stubborn face, "Brother Xuan is careful and kind, even ants and insects are not willing to step on it, and would never do such a thing! Someone hurt him, It's the sixth child, it's Brother Jin, it's him who wants to harm Brother Xuan!"

Dali Temple Shaoqing Chen Shu frowned: "Take it away."

Lin insisted that it was not Zhang Xuan who did it, but that someone framed and slandered him, and insisted that this person was Zhang Jin, Zhang Xuan's younger brother.

Although Emperor Yuan and Qing believed that Zhang Xuan was not the only one involved in this matter, he did not think it was Zhang Jin, and ordered Jin Yiwei to check carefully all the people who had close contacts with Zhang Xuan in the past.

After verifying the identities of those corpses one by one, it was found out that the two were friends who were brothers and brothers of Zhang Xuan in the past, and they were also the sons of nobles.

The plot of Zhang Xuan's incident was too vicious. After being reported by the Times, it spread to the whole country and immediately aroused huge public outrage.

The Zhang family and the other two were deprived of titles, Zhang Xuan was dead, and the remaining two were sentenced to hang, and the others who helped Zhang Xuan and the other two murder their women were all sentenced to death.

The Yuan and Qing emperors did not deprive Mrs. An of the title, nor did they take away the Zhang family's mansion, but as far as the Zhang family was concerned, it was exhausted if they seized the title, not to mention that Zhang Xuan's incident was well known, public opinion alone was enough They are suffering.

Emperor Yuan and Qing didn't believe that the Zhang family didn't know anything about it. Mrs. An Guo probably only found out about Zhang Xuan's accident, and she chose to cover up the matter for the sake of the Zhang family's face, but it may not be the case for others.

He is also not interested in Zhang's wives and concubines fights and how Zhang Xuan became so cruel. No matter how much Zhang Xuan has difficulties, mutilating women and taking people's lives is a fact.

But because of this incident, there happened to be a reason for what he mentioned to the emperor to clean up these dudes in the capital.

The emperor of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties ordered Jin Yiwei to quietly collect the names of all the dudes in the capital, and then on the day the case was closed, he ordered these people to go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to report and conduct a training camp three days later.

The dandies were naturally unwilling, and made a fuss when they went home, but the incident with Zhang Xuan was too much trouble, and the Emperor Yuan and Qing had made a statement when they came to court. , Anyone who has bullied men and women and violated the law will be liquidated one by one, and will not be tolerated.

So those who wanted to intercede all fell silent. Those high-ranking officials, who didn't have a dude, even pressured their sons to report on the day of the training camp.

This is one case, and there is a second case. The reason why the Yuan and Qing emperors allowed Zhang Xuan to make a big fuss was that apart from the fact that the matter was abusive and used as an excuse to clean up the dudes, there was another purpose, which was for the census.

It has been four months since the census officially started in November last year, and it has gradually caused many problems.

The census is easiest for the common people, who can just order the common people to bring their household registrations to register and issue ID cards. The trouble is the servants in the homes of noble officials, especially some shady existences, and retainers who don’t want to be known.

Emperor Yuan and Qing had been refraining from mentioning it, but now they can finally bring this matter to the fore with the help of Zhang Xuan.

Taking advantage of the trend of public opinion, the reporter wrote a census, directly stating the various benefits of issuing ID cards to the registered population, and calling on all governments to report the registered population to the government. , It is necessary to report changes to the government in a timely manner.

It also shows that whether it is a beggar or a prisoner, a census registration is required and an ID card is issued, so that bandits can be prevented from mixing into the city, and impostors can also be prevented.

With the Zhang Xuan case and the public opinion building momentum, and the previous Liu He incident that cleaned the court, some people who were close to Liu He but did not participate in the rebellion tightened their tails, wishing to shout long live to show their hearts, as soon as the emperor of Yuan and Qing came out , have echoed.

As a result, the census finally made great progress. The household department was so busy that they did not touch the ground, and registered households one by one.

At the same time, the emperors of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties extended the role of identity cards. In the future, anyone who left the city, moved, got married, lived in a store, bought and sold land, redeemed, sent letters and express mail through Sihai Logistics, etc., would need to show an identity card. cards together, some only need an ID card.

With these restrictions, these officials and wealthy households had to let their servants register.

If there are still people hiding in this way, Emperor Yuan Qing can only helplessly, but with the restriction of identity cards, even if he wants to use these people to do something, he has to weigh it first.

There is a direct census by the Ministry of Households at the foot of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City. When it comes to the provinces and prefectures, it can only rely on the ability of local officials.

The Yuan and Qing emperors could not do anything about it, and could only wait for the identity card to take effect in the future, and everyone gradually formed the consciousness of registration changes.

After the beginning of the new year, one thing after another, all the courtiers and common people were a little bit overwhelmed, until the mid-March will try to release the rankings, which finally brought a ray of joy to Chang'an City.

At the same time, it was King Su's birthday.
