Chapter 1045 Tingzhang Twenty
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.
Zhu Pingan felt that the place under the foot of the emperor in the capital was very evil. One second, he was still slandering his pleadings, but the next second, the servant from Xiyuan appeared in front of him, and the leader was still his old acquaintance. —Feng Bao.
"Master Zhu, we meet again." Feng Bao greeted Zhu Ping'an with a smile on his hands.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, Eunuch Feng's face is radiant, and his demeanor is even better than before."
Zhu Pingan bowed his hand in return, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the bright yellow imperial decree held in the hands of the two little eunuchs behind Feng Bao.
Although Zhu Ping'an is quite confident in his memorials, there are too many variables on Emperor Jiajing's side.
Senior Brother Yang's life was at stake, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help being nervous.
"Hehe, it's not because of Mrs. Zhu's clever tricks that the miscellaneous family lived a good life in the palace for a few days." Feng Bao replied with a smile, and thanked Zhu Ping'an again vaguely for pointing out his bedtime system. After the harem began to use flops to sleep, Feng Bao's life became better and better.
"Eunuch Feng's words are serious, and Ping An is ashamed. I just provided an immature idea, and everything is the result of Eunuch Feng's own efforts." Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly, without taking credit for himself.
"No matter what you think, Mr. Zhu, Zajia will remember it in his heart anyway, and he will never forget it until he dies." Feng Bao said seriously, every word came from the heart.
Uh.
Feng Bao is so serious, which made Zhu Pingan feel a little embarrassed. At the beginning, I was just holding an investment attitude...
"Eunuch, it's almost noon." The little **** behind Feng Bao reminded Feng Bao in a low voice.
"Oh, I almost forgot the business. Master Xiao Zhu must have guessed the purpose of the Zajia's visit. There is good news and bad news for the Zajia. I wonder which one Master Xiao Zhu wants to hear first?"
Reminded by the little eunuch, Feng Bao remembered his errands on this trip, stopped the greetings, and started to run errands.
Hearing Feng Bao said that there was good news, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Based on his own memorials, the good news is probably about Senior Brother Yang... that is, Senior Brother Yang's life was saved...
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help being excited. As for the bad news, Zhu Ping'an didn't take it seriously. How bad could the bad news be...
"Good news, of course, listen to the good news first." Zhu Pingan did not hesitate.
"The good news is that after reading your memorial, Mr. Zhu, the Holy Majesty ordered the cabinet to draft an edict to amnesty the world! The imperial edict will be issued today. Except for the heinous and corrupt officials who perverted the law, the crimes are serious. Grant pardon, although those who commit capital crimes cannot be pardoned, they can also receive a reduced sentence and be exempted from the death penalty. Yang Jisheng, who you pleaded for in the memorandum, Mr. Zhu, is also in this ranks."
Feng Bao smiled slightly and told Zhu Pingan the good news.
Brother Yang's life was saved!
How lucky to have Yang Jisheng again in history!
Although Zhu Pingan already had guesses in his heart, after hearing Feng Bao's conclusion at this moment, Zhu Pingan still couldn't help but burst into joy in his heart, and said excitedly, "The Holy One is wise, the Holy One is wise..."
"Ahem, Mr. Zhu, after the good news, it's time for the bad news. You must be mentally prepared, Mr. Feng Bao waited for Zhu Ping'an to finish his excitement, coughed, and said slowly.
"Please, Eunuch Feng."
Zhu Ping'an nodded. I was already mentally prepared when I was writing the memorial.
"The imperial decree has arrived, and Zhu Ping'an will accept it."
Feng Bao turned around and took the imperial decree from the tray held by the little **** behind him, and became extremely serious.
"The minister Zhu Ping'an received the order."
Zhu Pingan saluted the imperial decree according to the ceremony of receiving the decree, knelt down and kowtowed to receive the decree. There was no way, who let himself be in a feudal society.
"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor said: Zhu Ping'an, a scholar in Yuwang's mansion, is a lecturer for the prince, and he doesn't want to solve the prince's confusion. He does his best to set an example, but he ignores the oral instructions and commits crimes knowingly...with a staff of twenty, as a warning to others, This is it."
Feng Bao read the imperial decree in a rhythmic tone.
Zhu Pingan listened carefully below, but when he heard the punishment measures later, Zhu Pingan was stunned.
Twenty court sticks? !
Is it just playing twenty court sticks?
I remember that before the oral order was issued, the three officials who interceded for Senior Brother Yang were all beaten with thirty court sticks. Didn’t the Holy Master’s oral order say that violators will be severely punished? After I issued the verbal edict, I played the intercession, and if I punished severely, it would have to be heavier than thirty imperial sticks, right? Why are you only twenty court sticks?
Are you sure you have finished reading? Just twenty court sticks, no relegation?
Zhu Pingan was stunned after hearing the imperial decree, and looked up at Feng Bao suspiciously, his face full of puzzlement.
"The imperial decree has been read out, Master Xiao Zhu accepts the decree." Feng Bao closed the imperial decree and bowed his head to remind Zhu Ping'an.
"Oh, my minister Zhu Ping'an received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
After being reminded by Feng Bao, Zhu Pingan was convinced that the imperial decree had really been read out, and hurriedly kowtowed to accept the decree.
"My lord Zhu, I really don't know what to say about you." After Feng Bao finished his business, he spoke more casually, "The Holy Majesty even issued an order not to intercede for Yang Jisheng, and you still knowingly committed the crime. If Xiao Master Zhu, you did not intercede for Yang Jisheng in the memorandum. Little Master Zhu will be prosperous now. You don’t know how happy the Holy Majesty was when he first saw your memorandum. Longyan was very happy. But seeing the second half of your memoir is After Yang Jisheng's intercession, the Holy Majesty almost threw the memorial to the ground in despair. But even so, the Holy Majesty only issued an order to beat Master Xiao Zhu twenty court sticks. Although the Holy Majesty didn't say anything, the miscellaneous family could see clearly from below. Your Majesty cherishes talent."
"Ping'an owes to the sage Long En, but Yang Jisheng is my brother from the same school, and when I went to Beijing to rush for the exam, Yang Jisheng was kind to me. Now that Yang Jisheng is in trouble, how can I sit idly by." Zhu Pingan shook his head.
Gratitude!
After hearing Zhu Ping'an's words, Feng Bao looked at Zhu Ping'an's eyes with a little more respect.
"Master Xiao Zhu, don't worry, when I came, I had already told you to 'strike', this time the court stick will be held high and lightly. But after all, it is a court stick, even if it is a 'beat', the twenty court sticks are enough for little Zhu Your Excellency will accept it. Your Excellency Xiao Zhu has to be prepared."
Feng Bao approached Zhu Ping'an's ear and whispered.
Hit is their internal word, and it is a kind of imperial staff password that is lighter than "really fight". The so-called "beating" simply means the meaning, don't take it seriously, the court staff should be held high and lightly, to fool the past.
However, as Feng Bao said, the court stick is a court stick after all, and even this style of play is acceptable.
"Thank you, Eunuch Feng." Zhu Pingan thanked him sincerely after hearing the words.
"Master Xiao Zhu, why are you being polite to me?" Feng Bao patted Zhu Ping'an on the shoulder, saying everything without saying a word.
