Tang Song was very nervous. When he broke into the Ministry of Works at the East Factory, when his colleagues went to watch the fun, he sat in his room, trembling like a sieve.

"The East Factory is gone!"

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

The room was cold, but Tang Song was sweating profusely.

He got up with difficulty, then wiped off the sweat from his forehead, squeezed out some smiles, and pushed the door out.

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

"Mr. Tang, you are turning a blind eye to the things outside the window! You are so calm, I admire you!"

The entire Ministry of Works, Tang Song, did not come out before, so everyone felt a little ashamed and felt that their concentration was not as strong as that, no wonder they could not be promoted.

Tang Song bowed and smiled, "I didn't pay attention to some things I had to do, how many people were arrested just now?"

An official who was close to him said with lingering fear: "Three people, you didn't see it just now! Those Dongchang men are like wolves and tigers, and even we adults can't stop us. Now that the adults have entered the palace, they are mostly going to go to His Majesty to teach the Dongchang a lesson."

Tang Song sighed, "The New Year has just passed! How nervous will those arrested people be in their families? Poor!"

Amid a sigh, someone said, "Don't think you can come out intact after entering the East Factory. But now it's okay. Most of them are exiled. Although it's a little more painful, as long as you can endure, you can always save the life of the family..."

"That's worse than death!"

"It is better to die than to live. Those officials who were exiled to Myanmar, who had committed minor crimes would farm, and those who had serious crimes would have to go to mining. The former could survive, while the latter would have little reason to be spared."

When it comes to exile, almost everyone is disgusted.

The exile of the Ming Dynasty was not light, not to mention that the risks along the way were mainly indifference and even abuse. After the exile, the two problems of unacceptable adaptation to the local environment and inability to adapt to physical life can make people live a life worse than death.

Therefore, in the private discussions of officials, everyone felt that exile was inhumane and that it should be the best to demote the legitimate as before.

Tang Song also joined the sighing crowd until someone shouted: "Sir, go and do things quickly, so as not to feel unhappy when you come back!"

What a courage!

Everyone quietly went back after hearing this, and the person who had just shouted was left alone.

If you can't bear it in your heart when you are afraid, it will make people brave!

...

This was the second large-scale arrest of the Dongchang, and the first time occurred during the Yongle period.

Zhu Gaochi was strongly opposing the expansion of rights of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and advocated that problems should be discovered, arrested, interrogated, and convicted according to procedures.

Instead of taking people directly from the Dongchang or the Jinyiwei, the interrogation process is kept confidential, and whether the interrogation results are announced depends on the king's mood.

But today the Dongchang's brazen dispatch made the ministers feel betrayed.

This king is getting further and further away from us!

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

...

When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, the ministers were shocked to see Sun Xiang kneeling in the hall, and their hearts were shocked, and then they looked at the emperor on the imperial throne.

Zhu Gaochi on the imperial throne had a cold face, and he seemed to be wandering around.

"Your Majesty, I have obtained the evidence and am worried that the suspects will run away. I was confused for a moment, so I took people out to arrest him. Your Majesty..."

Sun Xiang raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "When I wake up, it has caused a great disaster. I deserve to die!"

Yang Rong lowered his eyes and felt cold in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi stroked the paperweight and said lightly: "I already knew later that the East Factory is domineering, and someone is coming."

"His Majesty!"

It was not Ye Luoxue who came in. Zhu Gaochi said, "Sun Xiang is guilty and took him to the East Factory with twenty sticks to serve as a warning to you."

Sun Xiang kowtowed and said, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

Sun Xiang was pulled out with a lucky look on his face. Zhu Gaochi looked at the ministers coldly and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Yang Rong felt sad and went out to work and said, "Your Majesty, I... I'm fine, I'm just a little surprised by the domineering nature of the East Factory."

Zhu Gaochi said lightly: "I understand, please retreat."

The ministers bowed and said their backs, and their backs were bleak.

...

In the East Factory, Sun Xiang summoned the people at home, then lay prone on the bench and said, "Twenty sticks, no mercy."

An Lun said in panic: "Brother-in-law, I am the one who I led to get it. If I want to beat me, I will beat me!"

Sun Xiang smiled on the bench and said, "No need to say more, ask someone to tie it up and get another piece of clean cork."

An Lun sighed, tied Sun Xiang himself, then stuffed a cork he had just taken into his mouth, and whispered: "Dadfather-in-law, bear it."

Sun Xiang nodded, and An Lun stood beside him and looked at the two men who were acting, and said in a sinister way: "If you want to fight well, if you can't fight well..."

Liangbanzi nodded quickly, Chen Gui looked at it from the side and said, "You must be responsible for your actions."

Grass mud horse!

An Lun turned around and glared at Chen Gui, saying, "Your Majesty has said twenty sticks, what does it mean to be a proper person!"

In front of so many people, is this going to make Sun Xiang beat him to death?

Sun Xiang turned his head to look at Chen Gui, bit the cork and nodded, looking very kind.

Chen Gui shivered and hurriedly smiled, "I am worried about my father-in-law!"

Sun Xiang was still smiling, then nodded at An Lun.

An Lun lowered his eyes and said, "Fight!"

"one……"

"Bang!"

"two……"

"Bang!"

When hitting a board, you must take off your pants, otherwise the broken rags will be entangled with flesh and blood. One is that it is difficult to clean up, and the other is that it is easy to lose your life.

The sound of the board hitting Guang's butt was very loud, but Chen Gui, who saw the board falling, sighed in his heart, regretting his anxiousness just now.

These two men were originally from the Jinyiwei. After arriving at the Dongchang, they were valued by Sun Xiang with their "magical skills" of hitting the board.

Life and death are free, this is the highest state of execution.

The twenty-foot board was finished soon, and Sun Xiang's butt looked blue and purple and swollen, which was very scary. But Chen Gui knew that at most one month later, Sun Xiang would be able to jump around again.

"Get the medicine!"

Just when Chen Gui was stunned, An Lun asked for the injury medicine, then applied it to Sun Xiang himself, and finally carried Sun Xiang in with someone else.

Chen Gui stood there, watching the people put the bench away, and then said anxiously: "Let's go find some good medicine for my father-in-law!"

He left the East Factory all the way and went to the Imperial Hospital later.

After he came back from the Imperial Hospital with the medicine, he was about to send it to Sun Xiang, but An Lun blocked his way.

“Get out of here!”

Chen Gui's face was cold, and An Lun just smiled foolishly and said, "My father-in-law has already gone to bed and said that there is no big deal, and he is not allowed to disturb him."

Chen Gui immediately sighed, "Hey! This injury medicine was finally brought by our family. You can take it and remember to use it for your father-in-law."

An Lun nodded and after Chen Gui left, he went to Sun Xiang's place.

"Father-in-law, this is the injury medicine Chen Gui asked for from the Imperial Hospital."

Sun Xiang was lying on the bed with a lot of sweat in pain. Hearing this, his eyes turned cold and he said, "Find a place to bury it quietly, don't say anything."

An Lun immediately looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand in panic and cursed: "That traitor must die a good death!"

Sun Xiang didn't explain that this medicine should be a good medicine. He pointed to the outside, and then he leaned on the bed to endure the pain.

...

"This is a bitter plan."

Jin Youzi smiled bitterly and said, "Sun Xiang is known as Sun Fo. Where did he get the courage to kill first and then report? It's just a cover-up for His Majesty."

In the room, Yang Rong took a deep breath and said, "So what? This is the way of the king and the ministers. Your Majesty is hitting us. Do you still want to question Your Majesty?"

Jin Youzi was silent, everyone was silent, Yang Rong nodded and said, "You guys, please cheer up. I was too anxious to suppress the military ministers at that time. Your Majesty guessed that it was at that time that he began to be dissatisfied with us. So be cautious, let's work together to overcome this difficulty, don't do it yourself!"

Yang Shiqi said confusedly: "When Your Majesty ascended the throne, everyone thought that a good day had come and the king and his subjects would have accompanies each other, but now it seems... it is because we are too aggressive. It's time for you to reflect!"

Huang Huai nodded and said, "I dare not say anything, Your Majesty is indeed a benevolent monarch."

Everyone nodded. Zhu Gaochi is not a benevolent lord, so who is a benevolent lord?

Today they entered the palace angrily and asked to see you. If it were the Zhu Di era, it would be less important to have a few more prisoners in the prison.

Yang Pu coughed dryly and said, "All arrests are over, and this matter should be calm, but the lords from the Ministry of Personnel still have to persuade more."
