歷史又重演了。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyS62vkUdP

朱玹從奉天殿的臺基往下望，百餘位朝臣跪在殿前的南磚地上，正午烈日當空，暑氣襲人，但是群臣絲毫沒有退卻之意，伏跪在地，手執朝笏，等著皇帝御門。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aDAmjvV5f
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f656Xz618
西廠設立之後，京城裡翻天覆地，諸臣人心惶惶。如今，憂心如焚的文華殿大學士商輅等十一人帶著滿腔的悲憤上書，斥責這群內侍「無惡不作，皆自言承密旨，得顓刑殺，擅作威福，賊虐善良！」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7o1iU8FAg
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXkZkQdbGH
首輔商輅更是一針見血地指出：「自直用事，士大夫不安其職，商賈不安於途，庶民不安於業，若不亟去，天下安危未可知也！」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjmP5oTh2o
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrahJRjVpxj
諍諫奏章一上，群臣跟進，聯袂於奉天門外叩諫，要求立即廢除西廠。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWenGWHF5Kn
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVhXxCyIbn
皇帝接到奏章，閱畢後，勃然大怒，將折子重摔在地，「朕不過用了一個太監，也會天下大亂嗎？」並傳令要諸臣退去，出宮候旨，然大臣們不依不饒，就在奉天門外長跪不起。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsm3h8FSPZ
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X0ZBkmsCe
跪地的都是五品以上的京官啊。朱玹想。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E29W4csNE
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJX6wPZvIu
朝堂大亂，過去攝政王在位時也曾發生過，當時情境還歷歷在目。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieeBb8HTOs
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvz57uU3EG
朱玹轉向和他一起站在殿前的大學士商輅。「商大人，『血漬廷陛』當日，您可在場？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFqGdhnRxZ
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eks7kS50B
「是的，當時下官與諸位翰林院學士一同在午門立候奏事，有幸得見于尚書力挽狂瀾的英姿。」商輅回答。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJFjwaqP1d
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljHLY0SnQn
那是另一齣荒謬的鬧劇。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm1tTwq75t
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJuXysy4ck
正統十四年，英宗皇帝在太監王振的慫恿下，御駕親征，兵敗後在土木堡被俘，消息傳回京城，社稷危殆之際，太皇太后立皇弟郕王攝政監國，立召百官議事。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAJMVXGRgz
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYW3gee0lZ
攝政王初次臨朝，只見遭宦官欺凌已久的諸臣，悲憤無已，請求將宦官王振及其黨羽族誅。攝政王一時手足無措，下令退朝，大臣竟全部伏地痛哭，不肯離去。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21yq2ZbBFd
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFZZoCb6Jl
眾怒逼近沸騰之際，錦衣衛指揮使馬順，原是王振黨羽，倚仗著皇帝諭令，不斷高聲喝叱眾臣退下。戶部給事中王竑振臂一呼：「若曹奸黨，罪當誅，今尚敢爾！」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdspcciwyzf
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjzQIKwiye
群臣一聽，情緒頓時失控，蜂擁而上，揪住馬順的頭髮，紛紛以手中的象牙朝笏，劈頭蓋臉地捶擊毆打，王竑更是憤怒到齧其面，痛咬下一塊臉頰肉，最後在奉天門東側將馬順亂拳打死，光是如此不足平息眾怒，同時在場的傳令太監毛貴、王長也是王振一黨，大臣見到這兩人，又是一陣亂打。朝堂之上，文官如市井無賴，咬人抓頭髮，金鑾殿成了鬥毆場，號哭之聲震動殿堂，對閹宦的積怨傾洩而出。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUfx3E2FGx
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbLAk8q9fT
群臣鬥毆之際，兵部尚書于謙挺身排開眾人，拉住攝政王的衣袖，並曉以利害。攝政王心神稍定以後，宣諭：「順等人論罪當誅，百官無罪，王振餘黨凌遲處死。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEglZZHBlxR
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmBISWzfeQ
因為有于謙，一場風波才得以平息。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL7gxDnRpg

「當年也是于尚書要本王率神機營精銳從德勝門突圍。」朱玹道。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq2sbrLKNW
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAwc13larh
那年他才十五歲，沒人相信朱玹能打仗，只有于謙相信他。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfyL1sQKsB
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu0aTTcAQB
「而今，于尚書安在？」商輅長嘆，「又有誰能化解今日的干戈？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLbfMb4DrY
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdS7M6Bvga
朱玹明白商輅意指于謙在英宗復辟後，被冠以「意圖迎立藩王」的罪名，斬於東市，家產抄沒。于謙臨刑之日，陰霾翳天，京城街巷耳語，于謙是岳飛轉世，兩人都是救黎民於水火的亂世忠臣，也同樣死於莫須有的罪名。于謙之死，使先皇永難洗脫昏君的罵名。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4I68Ki5ck
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPswsOUi5vf
沒有人知道，朱玹曾在于謙臨刑前一天去大牢探視。那位鐵骨錚錚的亂世忠臣，在死前亦一無所懼，還勸慰朱玹：「你出身將門，帶兵打仗還行，要是入了朝堂，是鬥不過那些文臣的。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV7XGR3y09
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgm353JNp8
過了許多年，朱玹才終於明白于謙所指。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79XBD1LrLu

「現今宦官之禍又起，皇上遭閹黨蒙蔽，不問是非，不聽諫言，果然是有其父必有其子。」商輅憤憤地說。。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiLiMkxltO
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtbiBltqo4
西廠設立之後，京城內外一片風聲鶴唳，傳聞汪直關押大批官員，羅織牽引，拷掠致死。民怨四起。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6JbtNN2ja
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN9JSkBl99
若是此次皇帝處置失當，唯恐群臣激憤難平。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO4Cy0eNdt
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkXAFiMD4L
「汪直屢興大獄，押走朝廷重臣，再指派親信遞補缺額。現在，他又把魔爪伸向南京。南京兵部主事楊曄昨日被綁赴刑場斬首，織造局郎中曲名海被關進詔獄，應天知府沈孟季與南京五十餘名官員上疏為他二人辯駁，又全遭西廠校尉逮捕下獄，現在整個應天府和南京宮中都是汪直的人馬，如此放肆，天下大亂。」商輅說著又激動起來。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8S89gR3l5
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLr8mIYzsR
「就連應天知府也被捕下獄？」朱玹心一沉，那是湖衣的父親，湖衣若是知道了該有多傷心？296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmesfqbcJJ4
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA2guAutVt
無數次，他的雙腳不知不覺就走到太醫院前，他想問問照料湖衣的王太醫，她的腳傷是否已痊癒，但是到了最後，他什麼都說不出口，只能轉身默默離去。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcEMxcZoi4
他本想按原計畫，以家傳的丹書鐵卷，去向皇上換取她的自由，可是朱見深不願見他，接著朝堂動盪，他也無暇顧及私情。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG8vBI1Drv
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVvurFrsmo
「兩位大人。」朱玹與商輅一同回望，來者是司禮太監懷恩。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTz0XH5A6a
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLjgAYxSlG
「有何旨意？」朱玹問。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyXbUGMn7G
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3NmCoYjvh
「陛下問，是那些官員上的奏摺，受何人指使。」懷恩謹慎地回答。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdlRtwUFoX
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHfmw2ksLE
商輅重重一拍白玉欄柱，大聲說道：「奏摺是老夫所寫，群臣都是老夫主使，請皇上降罪。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IgWEQsji7
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD25DduSjF
「商大人且息怒，陛下正在氣頭上，不如您與諸位大人暫且退去，待陛下氣消了再來。」懷恩垂首懇求。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIgIMabXKT
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzvMFNZ2Xu
朱玹盯著懷恩，「此刻有多名朝廷重臣正在西廠詔獄承受酷刑，多等一刻，就有更多人被刑傷致死。你去回覆陛下，莫忘王振之亂。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3pjfu36OK
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkH4QZYp7O
「王爺，這，萬萬不可……」懷恩既驚且懼，「啊，東廠的尚銘公公來了。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi1YJWsMEU
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Ws77zAWm
一名身穿藏青織錦蟒衣的太監穿過重重人牆，拾級而上，走進皇帝所在的奉天殿。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFdvFnvErz
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhptLyo0ae
大殿內，皇帝氣憤難消。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO61MZipmed
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPh7L2VuR0
「你說的都是真的嗎？」朱見深指著跪在地上的尚銘。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZu66yh5Bb
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JsUanEIGX
「陛下，奴才句句屬實，那黑眚是假的，宮中仵作檢驗黑眚屍身，確定是有人將南苑放養的東北虎毛皮染黑，形成一頭似虎非虎，似犬非犬的孽畜。」尚銘奏道。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD8666rrjg
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxm26Kq6iI
「是誰幹出這等事？」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLXy630pxL
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUiHP1TCzO
「奴才斗膽揣測，是西廠廠督汪直。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G7P0OZWvD
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIwht8GALJ
「可有實證？」朱見深狐疑，「當日黑眚噬人，是汪直挺身保護朕。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBHkZToQWq
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuSYxc9xtO
「奴才並無實證，但在陛下巡狩南院之際，汪督公曾派西緝事司校尉進入東北虎的獸欄，並遣散訓獵夫。」尚銘伏地三叩不起。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iTJE9xk3b
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI9MnilpYC
朱見深低頭思忖。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgiIkwwE9A
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PQD3ySud3
尚銘續道：「且奴才獲知，西緝事司中，有一名司丞李子龍，此人善使幻術，想來萬歲山旁的侍衛，乃至年前的妖狐夜出案，都是幻術所致。黑眚一案中，只有汪直得利，所以奴才大膽猜測，汪督公與西緝事司早有勾結，以此欺矇陛下，藉機上位。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUwCuhZPje
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmiW2GUeoX
朱見深猶豫不決，儘管他接獲官員奏報，也認為汪直太過濫權，但他更不滿朝臣處處干預他的旨意。略一沉吟後，他決定按照每回他在無法決斷時所慣用的處置――兩方各信一半。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7XJMp4fvB
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMihkJtQZzq
懷恩去而復返，快步走向商輅與朱玹。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mHZ0XVeLH
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAyuyxLiYJ
「陛下命兩位大人到舊灰場將關押的大臣全數釋放。」懷恩額頭上冒了不少豆大的汗珠，像是驚魂未定。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyfIgSyvyT
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8MbZPlYxJ
懷恩抹去汗水，對著跪在基座下的大臣朗聲宣詔：「奉上諭，著即關閉西廠，西廠提督汪直返還御馬監，西廠詔獄所押官員，一律無罪釋放，欽此。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdbQo8zyqU
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpK2mbo03Q
諸臣叩首謝恩，彈冠慶賀。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrJN6GcBN7
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeLHHR3yiB
西廠詔獄位於舊灰場，四周沒有一絲光線，鼻腔裡充滿著灰塵和腐爛的霉味。朱玹帶領一支禁軍進入詔獄搜索，裏頭是一間又一間的牢房、刑房、拷問室，石壁長滿青苔，囚犯像畜牲一樣用鐵鍊拴著，身上布滿慘不忍睹的瘀傷、刀傷、和烙焦的傷痕，就算打過仗的軍士也不禁掩鼻。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeMftZ5Dae
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiK8DVtvEv
獄卒一聽到消息就全跑了，朱玹命人撬開牢門，劈開所有的鐐銬，他一一訊問被押眾人的姓名、官職、以及原籍何處，多數人都已被酷刑折磨到連話都說不出來，只有幾人勉強能答話，卻都是京官。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqgAkPS1pw
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMOzHcXnKj
「我等奉皇命釋放所有人，誰知道應天府官員被關押在何處？」朱玹大聲提問。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ZRg9t0W5
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbiprx5C1L
「再下一層的石室，好像關了應天知府。」有人回答，乾裂的嘴唇因開合而淌血。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHeAImGBz8
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvvRteX9hH
朱玹帶著商輅和十幾名侍衛走下狹窄的階梯，一人被吊在木架上，鎖鏈銬著他的雙臂，胸前橫過三道血痕，乾掉的鮮血漫流成一道黑色的小河，朱玹連忙命人放下他，商輅靠近來檢視。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgh7brJNz8
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eUgmGl53A
「那叫『彈琵琶』，那群閹貨想叫他招出某個隱密物件之所在，用利刃挑出他三條肋骨，他不從，因而受盡酷刑屈辱直到斷氣。」一個被鐵鍊拴在黑暗角落的囚犯說，腳踝的鐐銬還扣在牆上。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9BUXOvBZa
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeZ65ogYav
「這是織造局郎中曲名海！」商輅怒聲說道，「他們竟將曲大人折磨至死。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsLVYckBu9
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAfh153ORa
「其餘應天府的官員在何處？」朱玹問。296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rs26671Wu
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7X5RPH0wH
「都被關押在南京刑部大牢，」角落那囚犯說，「下官是南京刑部侍郎楊仕緯。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4tSRTUiWc
296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBApTcXS8RN
「替楊大人解鎖，傳令按察使趕赴南京刑部放人，」朱玹發令，「牢籠全清空以後，就給本王燒了這座賊窩。」296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13IGd4aQXy
