Although Jiading Bo Mansion is lively, the Meridian Gate is actually even more lively.

Just when officials usually beat the court, civil and military officials had gathered. They were not bored, but had to watch here according to the order.

In the open space where they were watching, several people were already escorted by the Dongchang Fan.

Wang Dehua, the former chief of the seal eunuch and the admiral of the East Factory, was the former chief of the imperial horse chief of the seal eunuch, and Luo Yangxing, the former commander of the Jinyiwei.

Just ten days ago, these three were the most powerful officials of the Ming Dynasty, but now they are going to be executed in public.

Looking at the three people kneeling here, to be honest, the civil and military officials were still quite shocked.

Among them, they can understand that Luo Yangxing was going to be killed by a stick. Who asked him to assassinate the refugee resettlement envoy in the capital? The most important thing is that he did not succeed in assassination and was caught on the spot. He deserved it!

However, they were very surprised by Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin.

Before, they heard that Wang Dehua was arrested and Wang Chengen was replaced. This made them miss how harmonious Wang Dehua was when he was the eunuch in charge of the seal and the admiral of the East Factory when he was the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor and the admiral of the East Factory.

Therefore, they had thought about why Wang Dehua was arrested and whether he could be re-employed. If possible, they would not mind saying a few good words for him and calling for him injustice.

However, no matter whether it is Wang Dehua or Wang Zhixin, even if it is powerful, it is just the emperor's slave. The emperor shouts to fight and kills them, and these foreign ministers have no way to do anything.

Until this time, a eunuch was loudly reciting the crimes of the three people in front of him, which made all civil and military officials understand why Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin were killed!

To sum up, it is actually eight words: corruption will harm the country and the people!

Listening to the eunuchs reading about what Wang Dehua (Wang Zhixin) did on a certain year, month and day, many civil and military officials were not calm.

Although many of Wang Dehua's bribes were not made public, most of the civil servants present, who had high status, gave gifts to the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor and the admiral of the East Factory. They were afraid that the emperor would find them.

The generals were also worried because Wang Zhixin’s main crime was to eat empty wages and greed for military expenses. Among the generals, including the nobles in charge of the army, several people had never done this.

In this regard, they could only secretly comfort themselves. Don’t be afraid, so many corrupt and empty wages in the court are all fine. Now the emperor is dealing with only a few slaves, it’s okay, it’s okay!

"The power struggle in the palace seems to be very fierce, and it is all at the point of defeating the death."

"Yes, it seems that Wang Chengen has a reason to be arrogant. He actually eliminated his opponent directly and did not give them any chance to make a comeback!"

"I heard that Fang Zhenghua was the one who replaced the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor. I didn't know that it seemed that this man was already very powerful in the palace. This man could defeat the king's heart outside, tsk tsk!"

“…”

There is actually a reason to understand this way.

The power struggle in the outer court, which is the so-called party struggle, was actually very fierce. During the Chongzhen Dynasty, the killing of top officials of the Ming Dynasty was not the result of party struggles, but also physical elimination and no chance of recovery was given.

Otherwise, it would be like Zhou Yanru that there would be a possibility of recovery, and he would become the prime minister again. Of course, he is now the former prime minister again.

Thinking of this, they began to calm down slowly.

For them, the struggle for power in and outside the palace is normal. If the struggle fails and is killed, of course, it will not be said that the struggle for power and profit will fail. There will always be high-sounding reasons to kill people. In this way, the three people in front of them can only be said to be too poor in their ability.

While they were whispering this, suddenly another noise came from afar. When they heard the sound, they saw another team of Dongchang soldiers coming, and it seemed that they were still escorting someone.

When they were closer and looked closely, they were shocked.

Zhou Bi'an, the queen's younger brother and the prince's uncle, are used to being rampant in the capital, so of course they recognize them.

It is precisely because of this that they never expected that even Zhou Bi'an would be arrested.

"What's going on? Even if he arrested him, would he have to be beheaded?"

"Does the queen know about this? Does the prince know?"

"By the way, I haven't seen the prince for many days. Didn't it mean that the prince is going to travel south and take a boat to Tianjin? Why hasn't there any movement yet?"

“…”

If it was shocked that Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin were going to be killed before, it would be really shocked to see Zhou Bi'an being taken over and be with Wang Dehua and the others, then it would be obvious that he would also be executed.

Therefore, even if the prince didn't see such a big event for a few days, it was just a surprise to some people, and more people were paying attention to the matter in front of him.

Even those who were dying like Wang Dehua and Wang Zhixin were shocked. Their killing should be the result of the failure of the power struggle. However, Zhou Bi'an was also going to be killed, and he was just a relative of the foreign country. What does it have to do with the power struggle?

At this time, Zhou Bi'an had already been taken to the scene, and the eunuchs beside him began to read Zhou Bi'an's crimes. The civil and military officials heard that Zhou Bi'an was a man who usually bullies men and women, runs rampant in the capital, and does evil.

In fact, many of these officials know about these things. There are even some things that are instigated by some people. With Zhou Kui and his son in front of them, they will have no scruples when doing similar things.

To be honest, Zhou Kui and his son have gone from being an ordinary citizen to being like this and ended up like this. Those who instigated him will definitely have a great responsibility.

At this time, they never expected that the emperor would actually kill his brother-in-law! Could it be that the emperor really wanted to severely punish corruption and illegal matters? Otherwise, if it were just a party struggle, the killing of Zhou Bi'an would be unreasonable.

While they were talking in a low voice, the eunuch who read the crime had already stepped down. Wang Erbiao, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, shouted to these officials: "Your Majesty's decree..."

Hearing this, the civil and military officials immediately stopped talking and answered the order first.

"The prince breaks the law and even commits the same crime as the common people. No matter who I am, as long as I dare to violate the law and discipline and harm the Ming Dynasty, I will never tolerate it! I just watch, who else wants to be the same as them!"

After Wang Erbiao finished speaking, he ordered the Dongchang Army to execute the execution.

So, a team of Dongchang soldiers served one and all started to beat the board.

If you fight one by one, you will be beaten to death. However, Wang Erbiao has received instructions that he cannot be beaten to death at once, but he should be beaten a few more times.
