Daming's hard bones are in**?
Ming scholars were known for their adherence to the rule of law. The most famous of them was Fang Xiaoru, who would rather be executed by the Ten Clans than submit to Zhu Di.
Fang Xiaoer's story is unfamiliar to everyone, and there is no point in repeating it, so let's talk about something else today.
During the Zhu Yuanzhang period, there was an outspoken imperial historian named Wang Pu. Wang Pu often expressed his views on some of Zhu Yuanzhang's practices, often contradicted Zhu Yuanzhang, and argued with Zhu Yuanzhang about right and wrong.
Wang Pu did this again and again, and Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't bear it anymore and ordered Jinyiwei to catch Wang Pu on the spot and immediately take him to the execution ground to be beheaded. On the execution ground, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly ordered a pardon. Zhu Yuanzhang's intention is very simple, that is, to scare and scare Xiao Yushi and make him not talk too much.
Who knew that after Wang Pu came back from the cemetery, he said seven words to Zhu Yuanzhang:"Today I only want to die quickly"。
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it anymore, and once again ordered Jinyiwei to escort him to the place of beheading. On the way to escort, Wang Pu passed by the Hanlin Courtyard and shouted:"Who is on duty today? Quick, write that the emperor killed Wang Pu of the imperial history for no reason! "
In the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Di also encountered some difficult cases, and Tie Xuan was one of them. Because of Tie Xuan's unruly personality and his name, Zhu Di suffered a lot.
Zhu Di attacked Tie Xuan while defending Jinan. After three months of fierce fighting, Zhu Di still could not win, so he wanted to dig up the Yellow River embankment and flood the city with the Yellow River. Tie Xuan decided to trick Zhu Di into surrendering.
Zhu Di was of course very happy when he learned that the Iron Army was ready to surrender, rode a tall horse, covered it with a big yellow umbrella, and only brought a few horse team guards to cross the tunnel bridge and enter the city to surrender.
When Zhu Di, the king of Yan, entered the city gate, the soldiers chanted"Chitose"The iron gate weighing 10,000 mules that had been installed in advance on the arch of the city gate collapsed and smashed on Zhu Di's horse, which was frightened and fled.
After Zhu Di captured Nanjing and ascended the throne, generals from all over the country surrendered one after another, but Tie Xuan refused to surrender and stuck to Jinan. Zhu Di was furious and led his army north to attack Jinan. Tie Xuan refused to surrender, but was outnumbered, the city was broken, and Tie Xuan was captured alive.
Zhu Di caught this enemy, and of course refused to let him go. Tie Xuan saw Zhu Di and vowed not to kneel. Zhu Di wanted to force Tie Xuan to worship him as a teacher, but Tie Xuan never refused. Zhu Di was furious, cut off Tie Xuan's ears and nose, cooked them and stuffed them into his mouth, and asked him how it tasted.
The Tie Hyun shouted"Is loyal meat delicious?
Zhu Di was so angry that he slashed Tie Xuan with a thousand knives.
The iron army only left skeletons, Zhu Di asked people to put a big oil pot, and ordered left and right to throw the skeletons into the oil pot and fry them, Zhu Di was furious: You want to see people in life, and you want to see corpses in death, you refuse to blow yourself up into ashes, and you have to worship me as a teacher! But the eunuchs' movements were not standardized, and the hot oil in the pot gushed out, making the eunuchs scream again and again, and they were extremely miserable.
Yang Jisheng and Zhang Juzheng are on the same list, only two terms lower than Zhang Juzheng. Yang Jisheng first served as the secretary of the criminal department in Nanjing, and then returned to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the military department.
Xianning Hou Qiu Luan invited to open the horse market, he was negligent, and went directly to Yang Jisheng, who is still unknown, which caused Qiu Luan's great dissatisfaction, he followed Yang Jisheng to the edict prison to escort, and then transferred to Gansu Didao as a historian.
After Qiu Luan's death, Yang Jisheng was able to return to Beijing to take up his post, and was soon promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the secretary of the Ministry of War. This is inseparable from Yan Song's support, because Yan Song is Qiu Luan's political enemy, and when Yang Jisheng's action to punish Qiu Luan came out, Yan Song should be quite happy, so Yang Jisheng was reused at this time.
However, Yan Song didn't expect that Yang Jisheng accused Yan Song a month ago"Yan Song has five thieves and ten evils"。
However, Yan Song received Yang Jisheng's recital, and Yang Jisheng said in the recital:"Yang Jisheng: I hope that the emperor can listen to the opinions of the ministers, discover Yan Song's treachery, or summon King Jing and King Yu to ask for guilt, or summon the cabinet scholars to listen to their opinions.
King Yu and King Jing are likely to compete for the throne now, and Jiajing is very sensitive to this; Jiajing believes in Taoism and hopes for immortality. Yang Jisheng mentioned the two kings in the recital, which violated Jiajing's taboo.
Jiajing was annoyed and ashamed, and ordered Jinyiwei to be imprisoned in the edict prison, and Yang Jisheng was given a hundred lashes in the edict prison and suffered inhuman torture.
After being tortured, Yang Jisheng's legs were swollen and thickened, he could not walk back and forth, and his body was as stiff as wood, unable to bend or stretch. He could only be dragged into prison by two people, holding his hands.
While mending the lamp, one of the inmates in the prison saw a scene that he would never forget: he saw Yang Zhisheng slowly cut off the rotten flesh from his leg with a broken bowl. Then, slowly, he tore off the ligaments of the bone. The bowl is not sharp, the rotten meat is not easy to cut, and the sound of the bowl rubbing against the rotten meat echoes in the prison. Looking at Yang Jisheng's facial expression again, his expression was calm and he didn't feel pain.
After three years in prison, Yan Song killed Yang Jisheng again.
