"Clang!"

The gate of the imperial prison was opened. Hu Weiyong and Chen Ning rushed to the fence in surprise and looked up. Just now, he made up his mind and told all the civil and military officials in the court that they had contact with him on weekdays. They said that they would be their last hope now. Only when there are more and more people involved, the emperor must take it into consideration. With consideration, he would not kill people. If he did not kill people, he would be released.

The two of them hoped that even if the emperor seized their official positions, confiscated their homes, and wanted to exile them, they were willing to stay in the imperial prison. They would rather die than try the sticks just now.

But they were disappointed. Outside the door were two Jinyiwei, and the escort was just a prisoner.

They sat back decadently, and muttered in their hearts: "The emperor will definitely not attack all the civil and military officials in the court. They will definitely not, yes, they will definitely not!"

"Clang!"

With another sound, the heavy prison door was opened again. Hu Weiyong and Chen Ning were looking forward to it again. Sure enough, a eunuch came in. The eunuch walked through the prison door, glanced at it, and walked straight to the two of them.

"Here, the emperor really wants to let us go? These damn Jinyiwei, when we go out, we will repay the pain we suffer a hundred times today!"

The two of them guessed correctly, and the two eunuchs walked to their cell with the imperial edict and stopped.

Hu Weiyong and Chen Ning suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at the eunuch happily and said, "Is it the emperor who has come to let us go?"

The eunuch glanced at the two of them, raised his lips slightly, and gave a meaningful smile. He stared at the two of them without saying a word.

Hu Weiyong's heart was pounding. Seeing that the eunuch didn't speak, he shouted, "What a bold eunuch, I, the prime minister, asked you, why didn't you agree?"

The eunuch calmly and launched an imperial edict, saying: "The Left Chief of the Secretariat, Hu Weiyong, was the magistrate of Ningguo at the beginning. At that time, he was good at governing the government. Weiyong bribed him with 200 taels of gold and was able to enter the capital to serve as the Shaoqing of Taichang. He was promoted to the Secretariat to participate in politics, and he married Li You for his brother and daughter, so he had to interact with each other. After Weiyong became the prime minister, he was greedy for bribery and robbed power without fear, and abused the law and falsely abducted the wise." "The crimes were extremely serious, but the hatreds of all directions were reported to each other, and the ministers deceived me many times, and the crimes were unforgivable. Kill him to thank the world!"

"This-?" Hu Weiyong was stunned. All the civil and military officials in the court were so cruel that the emperor was really determined to kill them all? Did he really kill them?"

No one answered Hu Weiyong's words. The Jinyiwei had already taken the key, opened the prison door, tied Hu Weiyong up and took it out.

A notice had been posted outside Jinling City. At this time, there were already crowds of people and the execution ground was surrounded by densely packed. Hu Weiyong and Chen Ning were tied up by the Yi tribes, all of which were large and small. The formerly majestic prime minister country has now ended in such a bleak end, which is very sad.

Thousands of carriages slowly came, which was the biggest scene since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The court officials who were still the imperial officials yesterday were wearing prison clothes today. The carriage walking in the front was Hu Weiyong's carriage. Until this moment, he still couldn't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang had such great courage and such a big deal, but the scene of thousands of people behind him forced him to believe it. Only then did he realize that he had no hope of living today. Chen Ning behind him had long been paralyzed and kept muttering: "No, no!"

When the prison car arrived at the execution ground, Hu Weiyong and others were pushed out, and everyone knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and waited for the execution.

Suddenly, a ox cart drove slowly. The ox cart stopped at the execution ground. A man pulled out a man from the car. The man's hands were tightly tied behind his body with cow tendons, and a white ribbon tied to his eyes, and he was also wearing prison clothes.

"Brother, where is this?" The man's tone was trembling, and he seemed very scared.

The guard sneered and said, "You have done so many things that are sorry to the emperor, where can you go? Where you should go!"

What else the man wanted to say, the guard was already impatient, pushed and shouted, "Stop talking, go up!"

The man shivered. If it were as usual, these guards would not dare to speak to him like this. But at this moment, he was blinded and didn't know where he was. He was really scared of the guard and did not dare to say anything more to the guard's shouting.

The guard shoved him hard and shouted, "Go up!"

The man seemed extremely nervous. Because his eyes were blindfolded, he didn't know how to walk for a while. At this time, he approached a guard. They carried him up the steps and walked towards the execution ground.

"Two brothers, where am I going... I'm sorry, let me tell you...?"

The guard on the left shouted, "Where did you come from so much nonsense? Isn't this here?"

When the man heard it, he stopped talking and listened carefully. He only heard the sounds around him, and his heart slowly calmed down: "Someone, wouldn't he kill me?"

My mood calmed down and I didn't ask more questions, allowing the two of them to push their voices and take a few steps.

Slowly walking up a step, the man was stunned and thought to himself: "Is it because he entered the palace and the emperor saw that I exposed Hu Weiyong for his contributions and wanted to reward me?"

After taking two more steps, he suddenly felt a little confused: "No, if this is the palace, aren't there nine steps? There are ten steps. What's the place? "

The man began to panic, and at this moment, the guard on the left said, "Okay, it's here!" After saying that, the guard on the left reached out and took off the white strap for him.

The man struggled twice and saw the scene in front of him. He quietly looked at everything in front of him. He was surprised, then scared, and finally screamed: "The emperor lied to me, the emperor lied to me-?"

This person is not someone else. It was Tu Jie, the chief censor of Hu Weiyong this morning. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to kill him, but he could not help but impeach the ministers who said that he was going to participate in the rebellion, but he failed to make a move. Moreover, what Hu Weiyong did on a daily basis was mostly the hands of this person. This person is more hateful than Hu Weiyong. If he did not kill him, it would be difficult to quell the public's anger! "Zhu Yuanzhang's large pen took advantage of the situation and decided Tu Jie's life.

"Sir——?" Tu Jie looked at Hu Weiyong beside him and screamed.

Hu Weiyong's eyes almost spit out of fire. If it weren't for this person's betrayal, how could he be today? Especially Chen Ning behind him, even gritted his teeth. The moment he saw Tu Jie, he cursed: "Traitor, die!" After cursing, he struggled and rushed forward. The high-ranking officials who were usually showing off their power were all gritting their teeth for Tu Jie. Seeing Chen Ning take action, they rushed over with bloody mouths.

"The emperor lied to me, the emperor lied to me..." Tu Jie laughed to the sky.

"The time has come, execution is carried out!" The prison officer shouted coldly, and the guards on both sides shouted, with great momentum.

The people who were biting suddenly stopped, and Hu Weiyong laughed at the sky: "Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang, I, Hu Weiyong, have been fighting with you for ten years, but I still can't fight you. Today, I, Hu Weiyong, understands it. It's not that I, Hu Weiyong, are not that I, Hu Weiyong, are not as cruel as you... Haha... Haha...?"

Regarding the imperial prison: "Imperial Prison" as a physical prison (i.e., a place where prisoners are imprisoned) also exists. During the Han Dynasty, the Red Eyebrow Army established Liu Penzi as emperor. Liu Gong, the brother of the Gengshi regime at that time, thought he was guilty of being a serious crime, so he "constrained himself to imperial prison" ("Book of the Later Han Dynasty") . Obviously, "Imperial Prison" can also refer to a place where prisoners are imprisoned, otherwise we will not be able to explain this passage clearly. During the reign of Emperor Ling, the Censor was sent to "run"

The imperial prison and the Pavilion Department handled the wrongful accusations, which were originally light and were retarded by prisoners" ("Book of the Later Han Dynasty" ("Book of the Later Han Dynasty; Emperor Xiaoling's Chronicle"), "Imperial Prison" with the main responsibility of maintaining local public order and the "Ting Department" is called "Imperial Prison" with the main responsibility of maintaining local public order and criminals. It is naturally undeniable that it has the significance of imprisoning prisoners. Many local prisons in the central and local areas changed their nature because of temporary detention and interrogation of imperial criminals, and this is the case.

The reason for the rise of "Edict Prison" is missing. However, the records in "History of the Song Dynasty" may be of great benefit to our understanding of problems: "It was originally intended to correct the great evil, but the incidents were not common." The times were long apart. Do the judgments of the Song and Yuan dynasties apply to the Han Dynasty? The author tends to agree. In fact, discourses of similar significance appeared in the Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Gu, a senior general, wrote a letter to report on the ills that appeared in the election talents at that time. Emperor Shun accepted his suggestion, "so he issued an edict to impeach the prefectures and imprison the following. Those who have no favors for the government will be exempted from the officials who live in the place of their traits. Those who are traitorous and have no favors will be exempted from their residence; those who are traitorous and have serious crimes will be collected and paid for the imperial prison" ("Book of the Later Han Dynasty") from the content of the imperial edict: "Edict Prison" is used to pick up officials who do evil.

This should also be the characteristic of "Zhuozhu", namely, the object of inspection, punishment and the special behavior. For example, "Zhuozhu" is an important means to attack the princes and kings, and the princes are aware of it and are still scared. King Liu Jian of Jiangdu had complaints that "I am the king, and the imperial prison will arrive every year" ("Book of Han; Biography of the Thirteen Kings of Jing; Biography of Liu Jian of Jiangdu). For example, "Zhuozhu" mostly involves important people in the court, Zhou Bo during the reign of Emperor Wen and Wang Shang during the reign of Emperor Cheng. Although the two of them were prime ministers, they both suffered from the "Zhuozhu". Zhou Bo even sighed that "How can you know the value of prisoners" ("Records of the Grand Historian" ("Cultural Family of Zhou Bo in Jiangdu").
