Once the news that the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Zhu Wan was seriously ill was spread, it caused an uproar.

All Zhejiang officials were waiting for an opportunity to act, and some even took the opportunity to impeach Zhu Wan.

The reason for impeachment is also exaggerated, saying that Zhu Wan angered God because of his indiscriminate killing of innocent people, so he was angry at Zhu Wan and caused him to suffer from evil diseases.

This statement naturally cannot stand scrutiny, but sometimes it takes no reason to criticize people.

Don't think you, I think.

Some even cursed and slandered Zhu Wan, saying that he was an evil ghost who came to the world and a disaster star.

If all kinds of words come together, if Zhu Wan doesn’t get out of here, Zhejiang won’t be fine.

This is an extremely terrible slander for a ban official who just led the official army to destroy Shuangyu Port.

From the moment, the Governor's Office has not made any response.

This further proves from the indirection that Zhu Wan is already terminally ill.

Otherwise, he could watch his former obedient subordinates jump out one by one, pointing at his nose and cursing?

Zhu Wan is about to fall!

In this public opinion environment, everyone was proud to attack Zhu Wan for a while.

It is like the waves that push forward the waves of the future.

At the same time, the situation in the back of the Governor's yamen is completely different.

Zhu Wan, who was rumored to be seriously ill, was in good spirits and was chatting with Xu Yan, Shen Mingchen and others while talking and laughing.

"Master Budang, the fox's tail is now leaking out."

Xu Yan paused for a moment and then said, "Just remember these clamoring villains and settle the accounts after autumn."

Shen Mingchen agreed: "Yes. It was difficult to figure out who colluded with smuggling maritime merchants in the officialdom of Zhejiang, but now it is easy."

It has to be said that people die for money and birds die for food.

These seemingly cautious officials ended up falling apart. It can only be said that the interests of smuggling maritime trade are too great. They are all vested interests, so they naturally have to stand up for the maritime merchants.

But they didn't know that Zhu Wan was pretending to be sick to lure the snake out of the hole.

"No hurry, wait a little longer. Thanks to you this time, otherwise I wouldn't know how dangerous the Zhejiang officialdom is."

Zhu Wan stroked her beard and smiled.

"I want to see how the court reacts to this."

The current public opinion environment is very friendly to Zhu Wan.

In this case, there was a guy who was not open to the eyes and impeached Zhongliang. He used such an outrageous reason. Emperor Jiajing was not stupid, so he would naturally make a reasonable decision.

...

...

Capital, Xiyuan.

Emperor Jiajing in Wanshou Palace sat on the imperial throne with a serious expression.

Yan Song sat down, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

It is like accompanying a tiger. It is difficult to serve the emperor, and it is even more difficult to serve the son today.

Today, he is suspicious by nature and is very good at hiding true thoughts. Most people cannot guess what his old man is thinking.

But Yan Song is different. This is not how powerful he is, but that he gave birth to a powerful son.

His son Yan Shifan has a special ability, which is to think about people's hearts.

Even if the king's heart is as deep as the sea, he can always see clues.

It is precisely because of Yan Shifan that Yan Song was able to win the favor of Emperor Jiajing everywhere and fight against Xia Yan.

"Gemaster Yan, what do you think about this in Zhejiang?"

Emperor Jiajing suddenly asked a question, and Yan Song's narrowed eyes suddenly opened.

"The old minister dares not speak nonsense."

"But it's okay."

Emperor Jiajing deliberately wanted to listen to Yan Song's opinion, so how could he allow him to be sloppy?

"This matter in Zhejiang is probably not as simple as it is on the surface."

Yan Song thought for a moment and said, "Zhejiang officials seem to have conflicts with Zhu Wan."

He said this very cleverly, neither leaning towards Zhu Wan nor Zhejiang local officials.

There is a contradiction between the two, and it is unclear who is right and who is wrong.

"I'm so heartbroken."

Emperor Jiajing scared Yan Song so much that he let out a cold sweat.

"The old minister is frightened."

Emperor Jiajing glanced at Yan Song and said, "I didn't say anything about you, what are you afraid of?"

"This Zhejiang officialdom is a mud pond, and many people have been polluted by white space. Now they have finally found a loyal and honest man who has been stained with mud and is not stained with clear waters, but they have not let it go."

It can be said that Emperor Jiajing's heart is like a mirror now.

This is of course due to the "Anti-Japanese War".

This book describes all the various aspects of the world, and also reveals the dirty things of Zhejiang officials and businessmen colluding with smuggling and maritime trade.

"Look at what they wrote in their memorials? Is this still what people say? It's worse than livestock!"

Emperor Jiajing suddenly became furious and threw out a memorial.

"His Majesty calms down."

Yan Song hurriedly advised: "Don't hurt the Holy Body."

"I don't ask them to be like me, but at least they can't be so selfish, right?"

Emperor Jiajing sneered and said, "In just a few days, there will be dozens of memorials impeaching Zhu Wan. Will there be hundreds of them in a while? They are really united!"

Yan Song knew that no matter what he said, it was annoying, so he simply remained silent.

"It seems that I am too tolerant of them."

A cold light flashed in Emperor Jiajing's eyes.

"Transferred court stick!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Jin, who was serving beside him, came over and said in a harmonious voice: "Who does the emperor want to be accused of the court?"

"No one who impeached Zhu Wan in the memorial will be missed! The Minjin Yiwei in Zhejiang set out immediately to arrest him and will never tolerate him!"

Yan Song felt cold on his back when he heard this, and he seemed to see the young emperor who had been confronted with his ministers because of great ceremony.

The result of the great ceremony was naturally that Emperor Jiajing won a great victory.

More than a hundred ministers were sceptered by the court, which became a sensational event in the Jiajing Dynasty.

Now I issued a court scepter again.

Although the number of people involved is not as high as the time for discussion, it can be said to be a big deal.

Yan Song wanted to persuade the emperor for a moment, but he finally swallowed it when he said something.

Yan Song knew very well that none of the people who opposed the current generation ended well.

Since this is the case, it is better to be a complete minister, and everything follows the emperor's wishes.

Your Majesty is really arbitrary!

I don’t know if this is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, Yan Song said in his heart.

...

...

Outside Zuoshun Gate, hundreds of great Han generals from the Jinyiwei were arranged on both sides, and dozens of court officials who were angry with Longyan were pressed to the ground and tied up their hands and feet, ready to accept the court stick.

The court stick was a unique invention of the Ming Dynasty. It started in the Hongwu Dynasty, and the Chenghua Dynasty gradually became a custom-made one, and the Zhengde Jiajing Dynasty reached its peak.

A court stick, in short, is spanking.

Before the Zhengde Dynasty, the person who was punished would have some decent feelings and was punished with a felt blanket.

However, since Liu Jin, the leader of the Eight Tigers, founded the Guoyi Court Staff, the person who was punished not only lost his blanket, but even had to be stripped of his pants and bare his butt and was tortured.

The extremely arrogant scholar-officials were tortured in front of everyone. This was not only physical pain, but also mental torture.
