Tang Song was very nervous. When Dongchang broke into the work department and his colleagues went to watch the excitement, he sat in his room, trembling like chaff.

"East Hall's gone!"

After a burst of relieved cheers outside, Tang Song's body softened and slid down the chair to the ground.

The room was cold, but Tang Song was sweating.

He struggled to get up, wiped the sweat off his forehead, squeezed out some smiles and pushed the door out.

The yard was full of people. Everyone was whispering, sighing and afraid.

"Lord Tang, you don't hear anything outside the window! You're so calm, I admire you!"

Previously, Tang Song, the whole work department, didn't come out, so everyone was a little ashamed and felt that their concentration was not as good as this person. No wonder they couldn't be promoted.

Tang Song arched his hand and said with a smile, "there are some things to do at hand. I didn't pay attention. How many people were arrested just now?"

An official who made friends with him said with lingering fear: "three people, you didn't see that just now! Those fans of the east hall are like wolves and tigers, and even our adults can't stop them. Now adults have entered the palace, and most of them want to go to your majesty to teach the East Hall a lesson."

Tang Song sighed, "it's just the end of the New Year! How frightened and pitiful those arrested people will be!"

In a sigh, someone said, "don't expect to come out intact after entering the East Hall, but now it's OK. Most of them are exiles. Although they suffer a little, as long as they can endure, they can always save the life of the family..."

"Life is better than death!"

"Life is better than death. Those officials exiled to Jiaozhi Myanmar have to cultivate land for minor crimes and dig mines for serious crimes. The former can live, and the latter has little reason to be spared."

When it comes to exile, almost everyone turns pale.

Daming's exile is not easy, not to mention the risks along the way - mainly the neglect and even abuse of the escort. After arriving in exile, the two problems of acclimatization and inability to adapt to physical work can make life worse than death.

Therefore, in the private discussion of officials, everyone felt that exile was inhumane and should be demoted as in the previous Song Dynasty.

Tang Song also joined the sighing crowd until someone shouted, "adults, when you enter the palace, hurry to do things so that you don't get angry when you come back!"

How brave!

All the people went back quietly. As for the man who had just shouted, he was left alone.

Under fear, the heart can't bear it, it will make people bolder!

……

This was the second large-scale arrest of Dongchang, and the first took place during the reign of Yongle.

At the beginning, Zhu gaochi was strongly opposed to the expansion of the rights of the East Hall and the royal guards, and advocated that problems should be found, arrested, interrogated and convicted according to the procedure.

Instead of the east hall or royal guards directly taking people, the interrogation process is confidential, and whether the interrogation results are published depends on the king's mood.

But today, the East Hall's bold move made the ministers feel betrayed.

This king is getting farther and farther away from us!

Outside the palace gate, when someone inside invited them in, Yang Rong wiped his mouth and entered the palace.

……

When they arrived at the Qianqing palace, the officials were stunned to see Sun Xiang kneeling in the palace, and then looked at the emperor on the throne.

Zhu gaochi on the throne looked cold and seemed to be wandering outside.

"Your Majesty, the maid got the evidence. She was worried that the suspects would run away. She was confused for a moment, so she took people out to arrest her majesty..."

Sun Xiang looked up and said dimly with tears in his eyes, "when I wake up, it has caused great disaster. I deserve to die!"

Yang Rong drooped his eyes and his heart was cold.

Zhu gaochi rubbed the paperweight and said faintly, "I know later. The East Hall is domineering. Come here."

"Your majesty!"

It wasn't ye Luoxue who came in. Zhu gaochi said, "Sun Xiang is guilty. Take him to the East Hall and use twenty sticks to make an example."

Sun Xiang kowtowed and said, "thank you, your majesty!"

Sun Xiang was lucky to be pulled out. Zhu gaochi looked at the ministers coldly and said, "what's the matter with Zhu Qing?"

Yang Rong was dejected and went out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, ministers... Nothing. I'm just a little surprised at the domineering of the East Hall."

Zhu gaochi said faintly, "I know. Let's go."

The ministers saluted and left, their backs bleak.

……

In the East Hall, Sun Xiang summoned the people at home. Then he lay prone on the bench and said, "twenty sticks, don't be merciful."

Anlun said in fear, "father-in-law, it's the man who leads the slave and maid to take it. If you want to fight, it's also the slave and maid!"

Sun Xiang smiled on the bench and said, "don't say more. Ask someone to tie it up and get a clean cork."

Anlun sighed and tied Sun Xiang himself. Then he stuffed a piece of cork he had just taken into his mouth and whispered, "father-in-law, bear it."

Sun Xiang nodded. Anlun stood on the side and looked at the two hands-on fans. He said Yin: "if you want to fight well, if you can't fight well..."

The two children nodded hurriedly. Chen Gui looked on the side and said, "start with discretion."

fuck you!

Anlun turned back and stared at Chen Gui and said, "Your Majesty said 20 sticks. What is discretion!"

When so many people say the word "propriety", is this to let Sun Xiang be killed by a board?

Sun Xiang looked at Chen Gui, bit the cork and nodded. He looked very kind.

Chen Gui trembled and hurriedly said with a smile, "I'm worried about my father-in-law!"

Sun Xiang was still smiling and nodded at Anlun.

Anlun drooped his eyes and said, "fight!"

"One..."

"Pa!"

"Two..."

"Pa!"

You must take off your pants to beat the board, otherwise the broken rags will be entangled with flesh and blood. First, it is difficult to clean up, and second, it is easy to lose your life.

The sound of the board hitting the light was very loud, but Chen Gui, who saw the falling trend of the board, sighed in her heart and regretted her eagerness just now.

These two fans were originally from the royal guards. After arriving at the East Hall, they were valued by Sun Xiang for their "magic skill" of playing boards.

Life and death are optional, which is the highest state of execution.

The 20th board was soon finished. Sun Xiang's fart * stock looked blue and purple, which was very scary. But Chen Gui knew that after a month at most, Sun Xiang could be alive again.

"Get the medicine!"

In Chen Guifa's time, Anlun asked for the wound medicine, then applied it to Sun Xiang himself, and finally carried Sun Xiang in with others.

Chen Gui stood in place, looked at those people take the bench away, and then said with a worried face, "our family will go to find some good wound medicine for my father-in-law!"

He went all the way out of the East factory and later went to the Tai hospital.

When he came back from the Tai hospital with the wound medicine, he was about to send it to Sun Xiang, but Anlun stopped him.

"Get out of the way!"

Chen Gui's face was gloomy and cold. Anlun just said with a simple smile: "my father-in-law has gone to bed. He said there is no big event. Don't disturb."

Chen Gui immediately sighed and said, "Hey! It's not easy for our family to sell the wound medicine. Take it and remember to use it for my father-in-law."

Anlun nodded. After Chen Gui left, he went to Sun Xiang.

"Father-in-law, this is the wound medicine Chen Gui asked for from Tai hospital."

Sun Xiangtong was sweating all over his head on the bed. When he heard that his eyes were cold, he said, "find a place to bury it quietly. Don't make a noise."

Anlun immediately looked at the porcelain vase in his hand in fear and scolded, "the traitor must die!"

Sun Xiang also didn't explain that the medicine should be good. It meant that he was outside, and then he fell on the bed and endured the pain.

……

"This is a bitter meat trick."

Jin Youzi said with a bitter smile, "Sun Xiang is known as sun Buddha. How dare he cut first and then play? He's just covering up for his majesty."

In the duty room, Yang Rong took a deep breath and said, "so what? This is the way of kings and ministers. Your majesty is beating us. Do you still want to question your majesty?"

Jin Youzi was dumb and everyone was dumb. Yang Rong nodded and said, "gentlemen, you should cheer up. You were too hasty to suppress the military minister at that time. Your majesty estimated that you began to be dissatisfied with us at that time. Therefore, you should be careful. Let's go through this difficulty hand in hand. Don't go your own way!"

Yang Shiqi said in a confused way: "when your majesty ascended the throne, everyone thought that a good day had come and the monarchs and Ministers must get it, but now it seems that... We are too aggressive. It's time for reflection, everyone!"

Huang Huai nodded and said, "in any case, your majesty is really a benevolent king."

Everyone nodded. Zhu gaochi was not Renjun. Who was Renjun?

Today, they angrily went to the palace to see you. If it had been in Zhu Di's time, they would have fewer prison friends in Zhao prison.

Yang Pu coughed, "it's all over. It's time to stop it, but you adults in the Ministry of officials have to persuade more."

Jian Yi didn't speak from entering the palace to leaving the palace. He didn't have a chance to speak. However, his lover knew that the leader of the official Department wanted to beg for bones. As for whether it is sincere or false, no one knows.
