Noon Gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City, located in the north-south axis of the Forbidden City, the sun in the centre, when the position of the meridian, so the name is Noon Gate. East and west of the north and west of the city platform is connected, encircling a square square, like three dragons embracing each other, magnificent and majestic.
In this square square square in front of the noon gate, Zhu Pingan’s first trip to the court cane, will soon begin.
Before the court cane was about to begin, Ouyang Zishi stepped in.
“Ahem, this Lord Hundred Households, a little bit of small meaning, no respect.”
In an inconspicuous corner of the square, Ouyang Zishi, under the cover of Luo Longwen and the others, called over the head of the Jinyiwei Hundred Household Zhang, who was in charge of the execution, and stuffed a silver ticket of one hundred taels in denomination into Zhang Hundred Household’s hand.
“Err ……”Zhang Bailei froze as he looked at Ouyang Zishi.
Although Ouyang Zishi did not know him, he did know Ouyang Zishi and Luo Longwen, knew that they were both from the Yan Palace, and also knew that Ouyang Zishi and the others seemed to be at odds with Zhu Pingan.
It was because he knew that Ouyang Zishi and the others were people from Yanfu, and it was because he knew that Ouyang Zishi and the others were not dealing with Zhu Pingan that Zhang Baifu froze when Ouyang Zishi stuffed the silver over.
Before the court cane was executed, family members and friends to their execution of the jinyiwei stuffed silver to send benefits, begging them to be merciful, this is very normal, but before Zhu Pingan was the court cane, Ouyang Zishi them to their own silver stuffing is not normal ah.
Yang Jisheng impeached Yan Song, Zhu Pingan and pleaded for Yang Jisheng, so run down the words, Yan House of people should be eager to Zhu Pingan bad luck is, then how in Zhu Pingan was before the court cane, Ouyang Zishi to give themselves to plug silver for Zhu Pingan to plead for it!
Could it be that there is something else going on? Zhu Pingan pleaded for Yang Jisheng is from the meaning of Yan Ge Lao?
However, it doesn’t make sense.
Zhang Baifu froze, like a monk – puzzled.
“This Zhu Ping An has the audacity to disobey His Majesty’s orders, he really can’t be blamed even if he dies. When it comes to the cane later, please Lord Baifu and your men, the heavier the cane, the better. If Zhu Pingan is caned to death on the spot, Ouyang Zishi I will double my generous reward.”After Ouyang Zishi stuffed the silver into Zhang Baido’s hands, he gritted his teeth and commanded.
Oh, so that’s how it is.
Zhang Baitei then understood why Ouyang Zishi stuffed the silver into his hands, it turned out that he was letting himself do the dirty work, wanting to let himself beat Zhu Pingan to death while he was on the court scepter.
Zhang Baifu part of the court scepter errand for more than ten years, used to seeing the money to beg for mercy, this money to beg for black hand or the first time.
But …….
You only a hundred taels of silver, is doubled how much can ……People Zhu Pingan House in half an hour ago, but eyelids do not blink on their own one thousand taels of silver.
The other thing is that the people in the palace are now the most popular people in the world.
The palace is now the red man Feng eunuch but explained in advance, this time the court cane no matter who greeted, no matter how they collect silver, this time the court cane can only be “hit”, high and light put, to look heavy, actually light.
And.
His own peak Zhang Qiandu adults specifically conveyed their own highest peak – Lu commanding ambassador’s orders, so that this time his men to stay a little attention. What is the meaning of stay a little god, stay a little ……The point to stay ……He can still not be clear.
And ah.
Has been in the palace to do business with the Xu order Xu Court old today with a full stomach, nothing to do, slipping and slipping to the jinyiwei yamen, took a do not know how many years of the case, looking for their own understanding of the situation, to their own scared that is a cold sweat ah, because the case is their own handled to do, at that time, also received a considerable amount of benefit from it. Finally, Xu Ge Lao to understand the situation to understand their backs are soaked, they thought to finish when Xu Ge Lao but ended abruptly, lightly put down a sentence, said he has a student called Zhu Pingan, so that they take care of more, and then patted his arse away. Xu pavilion elder this out let himself confused for a long time, until he received the execution of Zhu Pingan court cane order, only to understand the intention of Xu pavilion elder.
Apart from that, there was one last point.
That is, Zhang Baifu can be part of the court cane this fat job for more than ten years, not just good luck relationship hard, he perceived the speech and colour perception skills but the fire is pure. What is the meaning of the above, he can also understand. This time the saint is only a small punishment Zhu Pingan a little, no heavy punishment of the meaning, not to mention the meaning of the life of Zhu Pingan. Why? Because in the morning on this square the three officials of the cane is his responsibility, thirty cane, he remembers it clearly. The three of them are the first batch of Yang Jisheng pleaded for mercy, the saint ordered to beat thirty canes. After the beating, the saint issued an oracle forbidding Yang Jisheng to plead for mercy, stating that violators will be severely punished. As a result, Zhu Ping’an knowingly violated the emperor’s order and pleaded for Yang Jisheng, and as a result, the emperor only ordered Zhu Ping’an to be beaten with 20 canes.
Is this a severe punishment?
This is a reduction.
What is the meaning of the above, the speech of the purely skilled Zhang Baifu heart can not be clear?
Even if Eunuch Feng, Commander Lu, Pavilion Master Xu, they do not greet, express, imply, they will not be on Zhu Pingan black hand.
Not to mention, Ouyang Zishi only offered a measly one hundred taels of silver, which could not even be compared to someone else’s one thousand taels of silver from Zhu Pingan’s mansion.
“Ouyang gongzi what are you doing, this is not hitting my Zhang someone’s face, Ouyang gongzi don’t worry, the court cane should be how to hit, Zhang someone save ……”
Therefore, Zhang Baifu did not pick up the silver ticket handed by Ouyang Zishi, the silver ticket will be stuffed back into Ouyang Zishi’s sleeve, revealing a smiling and pleasing appearance, very old fashioned cordiality back.
After all, Ouyang Zishi behind is Yan Song Yan pavilion old, if you receive the silver, did not do things, it is not good to end.
If you don’t collect the silver, it’s much better.
Besides, with their own more than ten years of day-to-day practice cane power, when the cane will be played, to ensure that the cane movement shocked the sky and the earth, to ensure that Ouyang Zishi who they can not see the cracks. As for why Zhu Pingan wasn’t killed by the cane, it will be shrugged off as Zhu Pingan’s life is big and his physique is good. The Ming Dynasty was founded a hundred years ago, only how many officials caned to death, and this is only twenty canes, can not be killed is too normal.
Ouyang Zishi saw Zhang Baifu’s pleasing appearance, and then listened to what Zhang Baifu said, very satisfied with the silver ticket received in the sleeve. Ouyang Zishi, he was not too willing to give up this hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels of silver is enough for him to drink several times of flowery wine, only in order to undermine Zhu Pingan a hand, only to grit his teeth and haemorrhage.
Now both do not need to spend money, but also can achieve the wish of the heart, why not, anyway, Ouyang Zishi more satisfied.
“Well, it’s getting late, so Zhang Baifu should quickly go and execute the court cane.”Ouyang Zishi nodded with satisfaction, urging Zhang Baitei to execute the court cane quickly.
Zhang Baitei led the order and left.
Looking at Zhang Baitei’s back, thinking that Zhu Pingan would soon be beaten into a dead dog, Ouyang Zishi could no longer control the smile at the corner of his mouth, his back teeth were about to show.
