The Ming Dynasty started with caution

At 15:00, the Silijian was on duty.

After returning to the tea table and taking a sip of tea, Xiao Jing stretched his legs. At this time, a young eunuch ran in and frightened him.

"You dog, you don't knock on the door first?!"

Xiao Jing felt bad all over, "If nothing happened, do you think we would kill you?!"

"Master Xiao, the French are going to be executed, right at the West Market Gate!" The young eunuch hurriedly reported the news to the factory guards.

Xiao Jing sat up suddenly, "Who dares to kill the French envoy?"

"Then... Lord Yan!"

There are many people in the palace who dare to kill the French envoy, but there is only one person who is unlikely to do so, and that is Yan Chengjin.

This boy is afraid of getting into trouble, and he trembles every day.

But once he takes action, it means that he has evidence that the French deserve to die, and he will report it to the emperor!

Wenhua Palace,

The emperor Hongzhi spread out paper to practice calligraphy. Now that there are sores in the capital, he is quite irritable and tries to write to calm his heart.

"Retired Emperor, Lord Yan has taken the French envoy to the West Market and will execute him at 3:30 pm."

"Why did you execute the French envoy?" Retired Emperor Hongzhi looked up in surprise.

He knew that Yan Chengjin was cautious and once he took action, there must be a reason, but he did not report that the French had committed a capital crime.

"I don't know, do you want to stop Lord Yan?" Xiao Jing asked.

The peaceful trading environment of the Ming Dynasty made the French willing to do business. If the French envoy was executed for no reason, the merchants would retreat.

"Go and ask why. You can't just kill people for no reason."

Even if you want to kill, you have to announce the crime so that the people and the French will be convinced.

"As ordered, I will do it now."

...

Beijing, West Market.

I haven't seen beheading for a long time. The people bought melon seeds and peanuts and stood by to watch.

The official who supervised the execution was Liu Qing, and on his left and right were Zheng Qian of the Censorate and Han Tong, the chief clerk of the Ministry of Justice.

The three judicial departments were all complete except for the Dali Temple.

Liu Qing did not want to come, but the order was issued by Zhu Houzhao, so he did not dare to disobey.

"Sir Yan, are you sure you are guilty? If you behead the wrong person, it is not my fault!"

"Sir Liu, just behead him. If the emperor asks for punishment, I will take the responsibility with the golden medal of immunity from death."

On a hot day, Yan Chengjin gently shook his folding fan and ate watermelon under the gauze curtain.

Zhu Houzhao was like an executioner, eager to try. He sat proudly at the tea table and ate the watermelon handed by Gu Dayong. Seeing that he had not yet executed the person, he was a little unhappy.

"If you don't execute the person, how can you finish the execution today?"

"Sir, it's not three quarters yet. I'm afraid we have to wait until the sun rises a little." At three quarters of noon, the yang energy is relatively strong. At this time, the person who is asked to be executed will not be able to reincarnate. It can be said to be the most cruel punishment.

Gu Dayong was somewhat pleased with himself.

Zhu Houzhao grinned again, then he remembered something and looked at Yan Chengjin beside him, "Old Gao, what crime did this Frenchman commit?"

You're asking now... Yan Chengjin said seriously, "I don't know either."

"Nothing, nothing, the saint said to kill first and report later, and then investigate slowly after killing." Zhu Houzhao said happily.

If you think the new emperor cares about the Frenchman, you will die without knowing how.

Outside the execution ground, a fast horse galloped in, and the eunuch in the lead waved his hands in a hurry.

Yan Chengjin looked up and saw Liu, it was Xiao Jing who came.

He couldn't help but think of the famous scene in the TV series in the previous life, "Kill quickly, kill quickly!"

Liu Qing also saw this scene, and without throwing the order, the executioner dared not execute the sentence.

Xiao Jing saluted Zhu Houzhao and Yan Chengjin, saying, "It cannot be executed today. The emperor needs to read the crime of the French envoy and announce it to the world."

Wenhua Hall,

Fang Xue walked in with the eunuch, reporting, "I learned from the French that the envoy encountered smallpox when he was in the southeastern vassal state, so he brought one person along the way."

The emperor Hongzhi thought he had heard wrongly, and he could still do this?

Yes, what kind of morality is there when two armies are fighting? Confucianism is the most useless in war.

Didn't the ancients also poison the water source when they fought...

The French are going to be executed!

"Doctor Wang, do you have a solution?"

"Doctor Wang, I have also contracted the disease and am now recuperating in Huimin Pharmacy."

The emperor Hongzhi widened his eyes, his whole face became gloomy and solemn. Since he met Wang Ji, there has been no disease that Doctor Wang can't treat.

But now, even Doctor Wang has fallen ill.

This smallpox disaster is so terrible.

Fang Xue raised his eyes: "Does the emperor want to go to Nanzhili to avoid it?"

The light in the eyes of the emperor Hongzhi became hesitant. He ordered people to send some tonics to Wang Ji and asked Wang Ji about his condition. If his life was in danger, he might go to Nanjing.

Gao Feng left the palace with the tonics nervously.

At this moment, no one dared to go to Huimin Pharmacy, but the emperor appointed him, which almost scared him to death.

He knocked on Wang Ji's door with a stiff face, and saw that Wang Ji was pale, sitting at the desk, writing.

"What Lord Yan said is true, cowpox can really make people heal."

As if opening the door to a new world, while the inspiration had not yet faded, he sat at the desk and began to write a pathology book.

Gao Feng glanced and saw the words "smallpox treatment debate"

"Lord Wang, how should we report this?"

"Report to the Emperor, Lord Yan has found a way."

Gao Feng was stunned when he heard this, but then he thought about it and felt relieved, thinking that this was Dr. Wang.

He then went back to the palace to pass on the message that officials dared not go to Chengxian Street these days.

"Doctor Wang really found the prescription?" The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi couldn't believe it.

Gao Feng also found it incredible, "It was said to be given by Master Yan, and it will be fine after a sleep."

Fang Xue lowered his head and thought, Master Yan did give Wang Ji a piece of paper.

"Preach my will and post the emperor's list."

…

The Ministry of War is on duty.

A clerk walked up to the desk with a memorandum in his hand, his face a little nervous, "Sir Zhang, this is an urgent memorandum sent back from Tuenmen."

Tuen Mun is a land of green mountains.

The power of large ships to go to sea comes from the sails. Affected by the sea wind, the sailing ships of Franji and Daming will first gather in Tuen Mun, and then take advantage of the sea breeze to sail to Guangzhou and other places.

It is an important place for sailing on the sea!

During the Han Dynasty, there was salt production and trade in Tuen Mun, let alone now.

Therefore, this place was no stranger to Zhang Fuhua. He opened the Jizuo and glanced at it briefly, then stared at the Shuzhuo with his eyes shining brightly.

"Go and invite the cabinet and six ministries to the Fengtian Palace to discuss matters."

After that, he put on his official hat and hurried to Fengtian Palace. After a while, only Yan Chengjin in the cabinet did not come.

Hearing that Yan Chengjin went to Xicai Market to inquire about the beheading master, Zhang Fuhua did not wait and handed over the memorial.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi's face moved slightly, he murmured some poems, and his whole body became slightly depressed.

"Envoy Franji should be killed! Just reading this memorial makes me so angry that I want to kill him with my own hands."

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang exchanged looks.

"Can I ask you to wait and see?"

Xiao Jing handed the memorial to Liu Jian. Jiang Mian and Zhang Sheng came over, their eyebrows deepening. Three batches of ships with different flags came from Tuenmen, Guangdong.

The three Flange Kingdoms jointly attacked Tuen Mun. If they really wanted to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, how could they take action.

Fran Ji clearly wanted to sign terms with Ming Dynasty and occupy Tuen Mun, Guangdong.

Cui Yan marveled again and again, unable to calm down the anger in his heart, "It turned out that the three countries jointly sent troops, but the imperial ship was not at Tuen Mun."

The imperial court set up piers and pan-houses in Tuen Mun, and troops were stationed there.

But there were no sailors who could go to sea.

Li Dongyang nodded.

Good morning, the last two days at the end of the month, please vote for me, thank you all ~
