In fact, McCullough is just a character in the novels of Sui and Tang Dynasties, which does not exist in history. So? Cold-faced shooting? This is just fiction. However, what am I going to say today? Cold noodles and iron? That's a real person in history and it's not simple.
Today's hero is Zhou Xin, a figure in the early Ming Dynasty. His real name is Zhou Zhixin, but Zhu Yuanzhang often calls him? New? So Zhou Xin gradually became his name. After Judy ascended the throne, Zhou Xin was appointed as the Ombudsman.
Zhou Xin is very selfless. No matter you are a powerful person or a member of the royal family, whoever makes a mistake will dare to impeach him. That's why most powerful people in the DPRK are afraid of him. That's why? Cold noodles and iron? The title of.
Zhou Xin is not only fair, but also decisive. At the beginning, it won the appreciation of Zhu Yuanzhang and his majesty.
In the third year of Yongle, Zhou Xin was appointed as the provincial judge of Zhejiang. When he arrived in Zhejiang, he found many old cases piled up here, many of which were unjust cases. The local aggrieved people were all excited when they heard that Zhou Xin was coming here to take office, because their grievances could be cleared.
Sure enough, after Zhou Xin arrived here, he tried these old cases one by one, and the wronged people were cleared of their grievances and acquitted. Not only was the injustice cleared, but Lian Gang's murder case was successfully found under the trial of Zhou Xin.
For example, when Zhou Xin first arrived in Zhejiang, he passed a jungle and found that there were many flying insects in the jungle. Zhou Xin felt something was wrong, so he followed the flying insects and found out. Sure enough, he found a body ahead. Zhou Xin found a small wooden seal on the deceased, thus judging that the deceased was a cloth dealer.
After that, Zhou Xin sent people to buy cloth everywhere, and observed whether the seal on the cloth was the same as that on the deceased. Sure enough, the result came out soon, and Zhou Xin immediately arrested the cloth seller for interrogation, thus successfully finding the real murderer.
It should be a blessing for the imperial court to have such an impartial official, but the wise Ming Taizu Judy finally ordered him to be executed. What happened?
After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, a Royal Guards was established. After Judy ascended the throne, she gave the Royal Guards great power. They can directly arrest criminals and interrogate them, but even the punishments and Dali Temple have no right to ask. It is precisely because of this power that the Royal Guards have nothing to fear, and even framed court officials at will.
At that time, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards was called Ji Gang, which may not be familiar to some people. It was he who showed Judy the prisoner list. As a result, Judy saw Jie Jin's name and said something.
Are you still there? ?
Ji Gang went to get Jie Jin drunk, then buried him in the snow and froze to death.
Ji Gang was deeply trusted by Judy, and one of his men went to Zhejiang on his orders. So, this man came to Zhejiang, where he reigned supreme. When Zhou Xin knew this, he planned to punish this person according to law, but he accidentally let him escape. When the man came back, he told Ji Gang everything.
Therefore, Ji Gang slandered Judy, who believed it and sent someone to catch the weekly letter. Zhou Xin came to the temple, insisted that he was innocent, and argued:
Your majesty ordered you to follow the inspection department, just like Douchayuan. I was ordered to catch rape, but why should I be guilty? ?
Zhou Xin thinks that he is a magistrate appointed by the court and has the responsibility to clean up the black sheep for the court, but this sentence directly offends Judy. Because Ji Gang was hand-picked by Judy, Zhou Xin said that Ji Gang's people were the black sheep of his family, meaning that Judy was as blind as a bat and believed in the villains by mistake. Judy was furious and ordered Zhou Xin to be executed.
Live as a straight minister and die as a straight ghost! ?
After Zhou Xin's death, Judy felt something strange and said with regret:
There is this man outside the ridge, kill him in vain! ?
It was not until Ji Gang was brought to justice that Zhou Xin's unjust case was cleared.
After Zhou was wronged, Zhejiang people felt unworthy of him. In order to commemorate this honest and honest official, everyone spontaneously erected a monument and built a temple for him. After his story spread to Guangzhou, the people of Guangzhou renamed the street where his former residence was located? Yangzhong Street? This street name has been used to this day.
Later, there were many rumors among the people that Zhou Xin became a city god after his death and continued to protect the people of Zhejiang. Therefore, Zhejiang people have always regarded Zhou Xin as a sacrifice of the Lord of the Town God, and it has been burning incense for a hundred years.
