„This person will meet in the future, you may be careful, falls not.” “这人日后遇上了,你可要小心,莫栽了跟头。” Zhou Yi has the premonition faintly, Yang Zheng is ambitious, asks to be perhaps similar to the northern border. 周易隐隐有预感,杨峥野心勃勃,所求或许与北疆相似。 The Divine Capital great people are paying attention to the imperial palace, Emperor Zhengtong and victory and defeat of Queen stretch/open, no one cares about the middle and lower level government official, or trivial faction, banister and gambling operations. 神京大人物都在关注皇宫,正统帝与张太后的胜负,没人在乎中下层官吏,或者区区帮派、勾栏、赌档。 Some day, Divine Capital has the day changes, Yang Zheng can do were too many. 有朝一日,神京发生天变,杨峥能做的就太多了。 „Master, the Yang Zheng mother is only the connecting rooms maidservant, even the concubines are not, is base and low in the Yang status.” “主上,杨峥母亲只是个通房丫鬟,连妾都算不上,在杨家身份卑微。” The Yuan Shun brow slightly wrinkle, said dignifiedly: „Powerful family poetry book hands down from generation to generation, the custom is stern, most abstains below defies superiors, how to allow him to press the son of first wife?” 袁顺眉头微皱,凝重道:“世家大族诗书传家,规矩森严,最忌讳以下犯上,怎么允许他压过嫡子？” „So-called old and young, wife and concubine and high and low and so on, are rule the patriarchal clan and illiterate technique, can observe actually cannot be trapped.” “所谓长幼、嫡庶、尊卑之类,是统治宗族和愚民之术,可以遵守却不能受困其中。” Zhou Yi shakes the head saying: „These aristocratic families are the realities, so long as Yang Zheng can win has expanded, can bring the benefit to the family, the Yang person will continue to support.” 周易摇头道:“这些世家最是现实,只要杨峥能一直赢一直壮大,能给家族带来利益,杨家人就会继续支持。” Yang Zheng takes Sky Prison as the beginning, carried to bind through the benefit unceasingly, gathered a large quantities of middle and lower level government official. 杨峥以天牢为起点,通过利益不断携裹,汇聚了一大批中下层官吏。 This process like making a snowman, adheres through various benefits unceasingly, gets bigger and bigger. 这个过程就像滚雪球,通过各种利益不断黏连,越滚越大。 In the snowball trundle, first future obtained the advantage, is not willing, unable and not dare to get down, the successor envies first future, wants to make the snowball continue to roll. 雪球滚动中,先来者得了好处,不愿、不能、也不敢下去,后来者羡慕先来者,也想让雪球继续滚下去。 Finally, initiates the avalanche either, either is piled up. 最终,要么引发雪崩,要么堆积成山。 Zhou Yi waves to stop Yuan Shun to question, no longer discussed that the matter of Yang Zheng, this person becomes the defeat, but only hundred years of mist. 周易挥挥手止住袁顺问话,不再议论杨峥之事,此人成也罢败也罢,不过区区百年云烟。 „Imperial Prison bottom prisoner, investigation how?” “诏狱地底囚犯,调查的如何了？” Yuan Shun bows saying: „Master, dungeon control in successively holding the Zhihuishi hand, delivers the food is not literate the deaf-mute person. The mean investigation for a long time, only knows that inside person is also living, age probably 80-90 years old.” 袁顺躬身道:“主上,地牢掌控在历任指挥使手中,送饭的都是不识字聋哑之人。卑下调查许久,只知道里面的人还活着,岁数大概80-90岁。” Zhou Yi also asked: „Does imperial family pay attention to this person?” 周易又问道:“皇族有没有关注此人？” „Over the past several years, should no one care, old age Chongming emperor the cultivate immortality insanity, Imperial Prison detained many Buddhist monks and Daoist priests masters.” “已经过去数十年,应该早已无人在意,晚年崇明帝修仙问道疯魔了,诏狱关押了不少僧道术士。” Yuan Shun replied: „According to consults brocade uniformed guard sect scroll meanly, in the past Chongming emperor left behind posthumous edict, the word said that this person of guilty of the most heinous crime, must detain until death. Now Zhihuishi detains this person, but follows the old example.” 袁顺回答道:“据卑下查阅锦衣卫宗卷,当年崇明帝留下遗诏,言称此人罪大恶极,务必关押至死。如今指挥使看押此人,只是遵循旧例罢了。” „Interesting.” “有意思。” In the Zhou Yi eye flashes through none, the figure twinkle leaves Yuan Residence. 周易眼中闪过精光,身形闪烁离开袁府。 ...... …… Zhengtong 16. 正统16年。 In September. 九月。 Caishikou Execution grounds. 菜市口刑场。 Over a thousand prisoners are kneeling neatly, the wail sound, the protesting sound, the begging for mercy sound, covered had surrounded the common people to discuss. 上千名囚犯整齐的跪着,哭嚎声,喊冤声,求饶声,盖过了围观百姓议论。 Great person who in those days in kept aloof, at this time was dishevelled hair and dirty face, sheds bitter tears. 往日里高高在上的大人物,此时蓬头垢面,痛哭流涕。 Young was still innocent, only thought that outside was warmer than Sky Prison, the person were many and lively, ignorant vacant shouting parents. 年幼的尚不懂事,只觉得外面比天牢暖和,人多又热闹,懵懂茫然的呼喊爹娘。 Zhou Yi holds start to stand in the crowd, the look is indifferent. 周易揣着手站在人群中,神色淡然。 Nearby flying fish clothing/taking man, in the bosom hugs is embroidering spring the blade, pushed Zhou Yi . 一旁的飞鱼服汉子,怀中抱着绣春刀,推了推周易。 „old Zheng, your this lifetime women have not enjoyed, tomorrow leads you to go to the instruction office division. The Zhang 2,000-3,000 openings, in the family/home may have many beautiful women, in those days in we do not have the qualifications to look at one!” “老郑头,你这辈子女人都没享受过,明儿带你去教坊司。张家2,000-3,000口子,家中可有不少美人,往日里咱都没资格看一眼！” „Wū wū?” “呜呜呜？” Zhou Yi turning the head is mystified, the mouth exudes humming sound the sound, referred to the ear. 周易转过头一脸迷惑,嘴里发出嗡嗡声,指了指自己耳朵。 „old did odd/surplus, what you say with old Zheng? Such big age, deaf and mute, said that does not permit the man woman to distinguish does not know!” “老余,你与老郑头说什么？这么大岁数,又聋又哑的,说不准连男人女人区别都不知道！” The words of this brocade uniformed guard, cause the colleague to laugh. 这名锦衣卫的话,引得同僚哈哈大笑。 During speeches. 说话间。 12 : 45 already. 午时三刻已至。 The prison cuts officer Yang Zheng to read out the Zhang 12 big crimes loudly, such as seeks counter, did not say, the lese majeste, civil strife wait/etc, abandoned to cut character sign. 监斩官杨峥大声宣读张家十二大罪,诸如谋逆、不道,大不敬、内乱等等,扔下斩字签牌。 „Executes!” “行刑！” !!...... 咔嚓！咔嚓！咔嚓…… Over a thousand people behead, the Divine Capital executioner all came is not insufficient, an average person must cut more than ten heads. 上千人斩首,神京刽子手全来了都不够用,平均一个人要砍十几颗头颅。 Therefore on the execution grounds unceasingly spout the blood, like lighting the fireworks is ordinary, often has can spout the zhang (3.33 m) away, will cause the common people to cheer intermittently. 于是刑场上不断喷涌鲜血,如同放烟花一般,每每有能喷出丈远的,就会引得百姓阵阵欢呼。 No matter the common people Zhang Jia committed what crime, so long as cuts the head of high official, deciding is worth happily! 百姓才不管张家犯了什么罪,只要是砍大官的脑袋,定是值得高兴！ When executed to finish. 行刑结束时。 The entire Caishikou dyes the red, nowhere has stopped over, steps on the blood plasma to stick the shoe sole. 整个菜市口染成赤色,已经无处落脚,踩上去血浆粘鞋底。 „Walks, the spring breeze building drinks wine!” “走,春风楼吃酒去！” old odd/surplus waves, more than ten people run amuck to depart. 老余挥挥手,呼啦啦十几人横行离去。 On the road regardless of the common people or the government officials, met gave way to traffic hastily, after having a high opinion of two generations of emperors, brocade uniformed guard power and influence compared with great ancestor, was not only weak. 路上无论百姓还是官吏,遇见了都连忙避让,经过两代皇帝的倚重,锦衣卫权势比起太祖时,只强不弱。 The Divine Capital banister leader is the merry forest. 神京勾栏魁首是快活林。 The spring breeze building no longer the magnificent scene, the guest was early scattered in the past, seeing through is not being a chivalrous outlaw. 春风楼早不复当年盛景,客人稀稀落落,看穿着也不是豪客。 Now for successive three years, has not held the chief among flowers election. 如今已经连续三年,没举行花魁大选。 The merry forest controlled the broker population business, intercepted the aptitude superior miss from the source, the spring breeze building chose the chief among flowers at this time, can only be laughed by knowledgeable people. 快活林掌控了牙行人口买卖,从源头截走了资质上等的姑娘,春风楼这时候选花魁,只能是贻笑大方。 old odd/surplus leads the colleague to come to the spring breeze building, because of brocade uniformed guard Zhihuishi Yuan Shun, spoke frankly does not like the merry forest. 老余带同僚来春风楼,是因为锦衣卫指挥使袁顺,直言不喜欢快活林。 Actions of superiors are imitated by subordinates, the person of brocade uniformed guard only comes to the spring breeze building. 上行下效,锦衣卫的人只来春风楼。 In. 雅间内。 The Zhou Yi taking a seat lowliest place, eats and drinks wholeheartedly earnestly, did not chat with the colleague. 周易落座末位,一心埋头吃喝,也不与同僚叙话。 Others do not care, „old Zheng” deaf and mute, exchange difficulty, because only subordinates Sir Zhihuishi to have jurisdiction, everyone cannot treat unjustly to him. 其他人也不在意,“老郑头”又聋又哑,交流困难,只因为直属指挥使大人管辖,大家对他也不能亏待。 The vegetable/dish crosses the five senses, the liquor to half luxurious, the people spoke also let loose slowly. 菜过五味,酒至半酣,众人说话也慢慢放开了。 old odd/surplus said: „Today enlarges ones vision, the queen mother issues a death announcement for a year, current female clan such certainly bloodlines.” 老余啧啧说道:“今儿可是开了眼,太后才发丧一年,当今的母族就这么绝了血脉。” Emperor Zhengtong ordered to execute Zhang the nine generations, the shocking government and people, many first emperor old minister knelt to ask to show mercy. 正统帝下令诛张家九族,震惊朝野,不少先帝老臣跪求开恩。 head assistant Yu Su submits a written statement to the persuasion, executes the birth mother nine generations, this act obstructs your majesty to understand clearly. 首辅于肃都上书劝说,诛生母九族,此举有碍陛下圣明。 The result such as today sees, Emperor Zhengtong resists opposition, the life exterminates „Zhang Party” to have great merit Yang Zheng is the prison cuts the officer, Zhang and partisan man completely executes, the female is filled with the instruction office division. 结果如今天所见,正统帝力排众议,命清剿“张党”有大功的杨峥为监斩官,张家及其党羽男子尽诛,女子充入教坊司。 Xuan four dynasties Zhang, will vanish into thin air from now on. 煊赫四朝的张家,自此烟消云散。 „Since your majesty ascends the throne, did 15 years, whom change not to painstakingly under the cruel methods?” “陛下登基至今,苦了十五年,换谁不得下狠手？” Side brocade uniformed guard said: „Zhang family prosperous is too long, the conduct is extremely rampant. It is said shortly after the queen mother issues a death announcement, Zhang Heng dispatches the person and your majesty has the words, the Imperial Court government official appointment and dismissal to first discuss with him.” 旁的锦衣卫说道:“张家人兴盛的太久,行事太过嚣张。据说太后发丧后不久,张恒就遣人与陛下带话,朝中官吏任免必须先与他商量。” The colleagues said panic-strickenly: „This matter?” 同僚惊骇道:“还有这事儿？” Zhang Heng is head of the clan Zhang Jia, the blood elder brother of Queen stretch/open, the Emperor Zhengtong biological uncle. 张恒就是张家族长,张太后的亲哥哥,正统帝的亲舅舅。 „Today why can you know execute do not have Zhang Heng?” “你们可知今天行刑为何没张恒？” This brocade uniformed guard said: „Yuan Zhihuishi invited Dr. Ge, assigns/life by the ginseng and gold/metal Zhendiao, puts to death by dismemberment by Liu blade personally, sheared completely 10,000 blades, the name called is cut to pieces!” 这名锦衣卫说道:“袁指挥使请了葛老太医,以人参、金针吊命,由刘老刀亲自凌迟,足足割满了一万刀,名唤千刀万剐！” „Hiss!” “嘶！” The people hold breath a cold air/Qi, later commended your majesty to be wise, when the Zhang Party country in disorder executed. 众人倒吸一口冷气,随后纷纷称赞陛下英明,张党乱国当诛。 The brocade uniformed guard is the emperor personal guard, current Zhihuishi Yuan Shun is the Emperor Zhengtong iron rod, has no favorable impression regarding Zhang Party. 锦衣卫是天子亲军,现任指挥使袁顺更是正统帝铁杆,对于张党没有任何好感。 The feast. 宴罢。 old odd/surplus and the others got the miss to go upstairs, Zhou Yi wū wū beckons with the hand to say goodbye. 老余等人领着姑娘上楼,周易呜呜呜的摆手道别。 Goes home. 一路回到家中。 The one-home courtyard in virtue Bosom Work place, the entrance looked disorderly is planting several trees, actually obstructs the courtyard solid. 德怀坊的独门独院,门口看七扭八歪的种着几棵树,却将院子遮得严实。 Zhou Yi comprehends say/way more than ten years, comprehended some ways. 周易参悟阵道十几年,领悟出了一些门道。 Can place according to the special law the thing, or makes one lose the sense of direction, either covers up the line of sight, either makes in the room ventilate comfortably, speeds up the practicing efficiency slightly. 可以将物件按照特殊规律摆放,或者让人失去方向感,或者遮掩视线,或者让屋内通风顺气,略微加快修行效率。 Next day. 翌日。 Zhou Yi arrives at Imperial Prison early, went to the kitchen to get the gift box. 周易早早来到诏狱,去伙房领了食盒。 Imperial Prison is murky, the gloom is dense. 诏狱昏昏沉沉,阴气森森。 Even if summer, in the stand can feel that the chill in the air soaks the bone. 纵使炎炎夏日,站里面都能感到寒意浸骨。 If the Sky Prison brutal degree is one, Imperial Prison at least is ten, does not know in all directions is fluttering many soul ghosts and demons. 如果天牢的残酷程度是一,诏狱至少是十,四面八方不知飘荡着多少阴魂鬼魅。 Zhou Yi is carrying the gift box, runs into the person wū wū to greet. 周易拎着食盒,遇到人就呜呜呜打招呼。 Sees the brocade uniformed guard to interrogate the criminal, looking at steadily is uninteresting, arrives at Imperial Prison most deep place directly. 见到锦衣卫审讯犯人,目不转睛毫无兴趣,直接来到诏狱最深处。 The on duty brocade uniformed guard sees Zhou Yi to come, the opening iron lock of keeping silent, four people lift the fine steel cover with joint forces, reveals the black downward road. 值守锦衣卫见到周易过来,默不作声的打开铁锁,四人合力掀开精钢盖子,露出黑黢黢向下的甬道。 Worming one's way into of Zhou Yi familiar house, is stepping on the blue stone steps, arrives at Imperial Prison underground two. 周易熟门熟路的钻进去,踩着青石阶梯,来到诏狱地下二层。 Arrives at the hole bottom, sees the fine steel casting the big iron basket. 一路来到洞底,见到精钢铸造的大铁笼子。 Four sides on the wall is hanging the beast head copper lamp, taking advantage of the weak light, can see person's shadow that in indistinctly the basket sits cross-legged. 四面墙壁上挂着兽首铜灯,借着微弱的灯光,隐约能见到笼子里盘坐的人影。 White-haired, three chi (0.33 m) must, body Daoist robe rotten most probably. 满头白发,三尺长须,身上道袍已经烂了大半。
