Chapter 811 Beat to death
On the bench, Ma Yongcheng was framed on it. Two generals of Jinyiwei Dahan pressed their upper bodies. Li Daniu himself pulled away Ma Yongcheng's trousers with a shout, revealing their round buttocks full of fat white flowers. The other two big men held high their staffs and began to torture.
Ma Yongcheng thought that Song Nan was just scaring him at first, but soon he understood that Song Nan was serious today. When the initial brocade guard drove him to the wooden stool, he was still spontaneous, cursing and threatening uncleanly in his mouth, shouting that he wanted to see the emperor, and said that he would bring out Song Nan's foundation.
How can Song Nan allow him to talk nonsense? The so-called foundation that Ma Yongcheng knew was that he was designed to make Qian Ning and Liu Jin not agree, and Liu Jin was forced to give up his intention to add an internal factory. Later, Song Nan designed to remove Liu Jin, and Ma Yongcheng also participated, but Song Nan did not let him know all the details. Even so, if Ma Yongcheng talks nonsense and stands in front of the officials watching, it will be a troublesome thing.
Therefore, when he put on the bench, Song Nan ordered someone to plug his mouth. Li Daniel took off Ma Yongcheng's dirty boots and stuffed them in his mouth. At this time, Ma Yongcheng knew that his life was difficult today. He raised his head from the stool and looked at Song Nan with tears in his eyes full of prayer, which was to express his begging for mercy.
Song Nan's heart is hard, and what he hates most is the people who eat inside and outside. Although Ma Yongcheng is not his confidant, he did not treat him badly. After Liu Jin's fall, he also took the position of eunuch, the leader of the imperial horse prison, and is the second person in the inner court. In recent years, he has seen that Zhang Yong has a good temper and has nothing to do. On the contrary, Ma Yongcheng had the posture of riding on Zhang Yong's neck. It is clear that he flattered Zhengde and went to Beijing several times as a messenger to convey his important will.
And these Song Nan can tolerate it. It is common for internal eunuchs to compete for favor. As long as Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng do not do anything out of line, Song Nan has never help each other. The more they look down on each other, the more conducive it is to Song Nan's control over them, which is also the way to control people. But this guy actually colluded with King Ning to inform him and seduced the emperor to continue to eat the poison of the dragon and tiger rejuvenation pill, which was the main reason why Song Nan was determined to punish him severely.
The monotonous sound of the cane echoed in the square of Fengtian Temple. Ma Yongcheng was still struggling and roaring at the beginning. After only 20 battles, his buttocks were beaten to pieces, his head was drooped down, and his hands and feet drooped softly. Li Daniu stretched out his hand to probe his nose and reported, "There is still a breath and fainted. "
Song Nan said coldly. Li Daniu turned around and shouted, "Fight again, until you die."
The stick popped again, just like hitting a pile of ignorant broken cotton wool. Ma Yongcheng never woke up again. When he hit the thirty-seventh stick, a stick broke into two pieces on his buttocks. Li Daniu took the opportunity to explore Ma Yongcheng's nose again, but his soul had returned to the sky.
After returning to Song Nan, Song Nan waved her hand faintly and said, "Take it down and restrain it. The whole city will issue a notice to let the people know why this person died, and tell the world that the unfaithful people will end up like this."
Li Daniu arched his hand and waved his hand. The generals of the Han Dynasty carried the bloody Ma Yongcheng's body and disappeared outside Fengtian Gate.
From beginning to end, the civil and military officials who arrived one after another stared at this scene with different looks. Normally, the eunuchs should be happy when they receive the staff, but they feel a chill in their hearts. In their impression, Song Nan has never done such a high-profile and cruel thing. Song Nan is indeed cunning and vicious, but they are all unseen places and unseen schemes, as if in such a light day. The eunuch, the leader of the imperial horse prison, was killed alive. If he was ordered by the emperor, it would be terrible if he was not ordered by the emperor.
When Ma Yongcheng was still breathed, Song Nan ordered to fight again. Fei Hong, a cabinet scholar, actually wanted to come forward to dissuade him, but was pulled by Yang Ting, who stood aside with an indifferent face.
"What are you worried about? So many adults are not in a hurry, but you want to get ahead?"
"Yang Gong, I don't want to stand up for Ma Yongcheng. Looking at this situation, Ma Yongcheng is determined to have committed the crime of killing. I just don't blame Song Nan for acting so recklessly. Even if Ma Yongcheng is guilty, he needs to be convicted and executed after deliberation and execution of the Three Law Departments. What is it? Besides, Ma Yongcheng has repeatedly asked to see the emperor. I don't know if the emperor knows about this.
"Fei Gong, don't you think that Ma Yongcheng came up with Song Nan's lap in his arms. He participated in many things. Will Song Nan be a law-abiding person? How will he allow the Three Law Departments to judge Ma Yongcheng? Isn't that going to miss the foundation? So he has to cut the mess quickly. This Song Nan is getting more and more terrible. To be honest, I have a great fear of him now.
"Yang Gong, since you know this secret, why don't you stop it? Isn't this a good opportunity?"
Yang Tinhe glanced at Fei Hong, his eyes were quite disappointed, and whispered, "You don't look at when the king of Ning rebelled. Song Nan is ten today. Nine will be ordered to lead the army to fight. At this time, the emperor will never punish Song Nan for Ma Yongcheng. The reason why Song Nan is so bold is that he sees this opportunity, and it is boring for us to obstruct it. Besides, Ma Yongcheng took the blame for himself. Song Nan deserved to kill him. I knew that there was a link between him and King Ning, but there was no real evidence. It was best for Song Nan to take action.
Fei Hong rolled his eyes and said, "That being so, Song Nan is so domineering. This is to establish prestige in front of all officials. Where is it difficult to choose? However, he is selected in front of the Fengtian Hall and in front of hundreds of officials. This person has a different intention."
Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said, " calm down, although we can't hinder it, we can say it in the hall. I don't believe that the emperor has no idea in his heart. Even if it's good to bury a small pimple in the emperor's heart. Besides, we still have big things to plan at present, don't make branches at this time. Tight, you have to remember this."
Fei Hong was silent. He knew what the major event Yang Tinghe was referring to was by no means a matter of Ning Wang's rebellion. In Yang Tinghe's eyes, that the major event was exactly after King Ning was forced to rebel, and the choice of the emperor's heir became the focus of competition, which was the top priority Yang Tinghe had to do.
The door of the heavy Fengtian Hall slowly opened, and the two eunuchs on duty stepped out and announced loudly, "Please go to the court for discussion."
The officials broke free from the thrilling scene just now and whispered about stepping on the high steps to enter the hall.
Song Nan and Zhang Lun stepped into the hall side by side. Perhaps because they hadn't discussed the hall for a long time, they were a little strange to Fengtian Hall. Although the hall was filled with the smell of incense from the copper incense burner, Song Nan somehow smelled the rotten mildew behind the aroma. Just like the owner of the hall sitting on the dragon seat with a pale face and a listless mouth, everything seems to have the smell of a rotten tomb, which makes people feel bad.
The hall is brightly lit. At this time, the sun outside has set. This is a true late dynasty and one of the few late dynasty since Zhengde's accession to the throne. Every time it is forced to hold a late dynasty at the time of national chaos, and the same is true this time.
"Lord, the fair and safe return of the country, I am very happy to see that the rumor that the Duke of Zhen died at the hands of the rebels was a rumor. Therefore, I held this evening court, on the one thing is to get rid of rumors in front of the public, and on the other is to formally discuss with you about the rebelliousness of the imperial court. Zhengde spoke softly, mixed with heavy gasps from time to time.
The officials looked at Song Nan and bowed their hands to congratulate him.
Zhang Lun said, "Congratulations on the return of the Duke of Zhen. It turns out that this may be a rumor and trick spread by the rebels in order to shake the hearts of our Ming army. At the beginning of the rumor, I concluded that it was a trick, but unfortunately some people firmly believed that it was true, which was really ridiculous."
The eyes of the ministers fell on Liang Chu, a university scholar. Song Nan understood that he must have been absent from the court, and Liang Chu firmly believed that he was dead.
Liang Chu coughed awkwardly and covered up, but did not say anything. Instead, Zhengde waved his hand and said, "British father, there is no need to be entangled. After all, Song Nanyu has no news, and the news is eye-catching, and even I believe it. It's not a big deal. Song Nan, can you tell me and you about the situation when you come from Jiangxi?
Song Nan stepped out and saluted: "Your Majesty, although I returned safely this time, it is not too much to say that I almost died in Jiangxi. When I left Jiangxi, Zhu Chenhao sent people to chase and let the bandits block the road. I almost died. Later, I changed my route and went directly from Quanzhou to sea. After seven or eight days of sailing to Tianjin, I avoided their siege and killing. Therefore, I didn't know anything about the situation at sea these days. I didn't even know anything about when King Ning rebelled. I was about to listen to the details.
The ministers were secretly shocked. Song Nan said lightly, but it can also be imagined that Zhu Chenhao actually forced Song Nan to hide back to Beijing from the sea, which shows the sinister situation; some people also secretly regretted, why can't this guy die? Zhu Chenhao is also incapable. He was unexpectedly escaped by Song Nan in his territory. You need to know that once Song Nan escapes, Zhu Chenhao is afraid that he will have no chance to do something.
Everyone, including Song Nan's adversary, had to admit the fact that Song Nan led troops to war was the most reassuring one in the dynasty. No matter how bad the situation was, he could quickly turn the situation around, which has been proved in several battles he commanded, and there is no need to doubt.
