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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOfmwXM7FM
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w8rj3bRpD
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！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6uGqFgm4P
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVYvJQcaRC
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！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tQnC1yfdv
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJrFpyRcJl
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIryAjG1YNx
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciUQvnOl1g
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9vP88yXop
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NBDybYA4z
跪地的都是五品以上的京官啊。朱玹想。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzWG4q2688

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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r6lxZGWqY
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEzF1BAPsw
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？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0HQdDELKH
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoKK2taOsq
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId8FkB3cEd
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIrR3uBm5O
那是另一齣荒謬的鬧劇。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ3hOHrXyD
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfoygHbWQq
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfudUnp54Ue
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nQebfUqla
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYsj7CsSX1
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aHzMNYazX
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！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFCdW8bRPB
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvf5kLC4df
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HwNUT1BZx
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM2KCneXgS
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xDyPAzdnM
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjmirGL5mS
因為有于謙，一場風波才得以平息。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa8uJGt0rQ

「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYIXonWmpk
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTOxcYANVi
那年他才十五歲，沒人相信朱玹能打仗，只有于謙相信他。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV178ZyPFlp
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdxiNfQWLg
「而今，于尚書安在？」商輅長嘆，「又有誰能化解今日的干戈？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJMOa9fJy3
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPnbSMvmmS
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwcpMjFFTl
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw6kpFkIgk
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1BiTrorAi
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpwhNsC5lM
過了許多年，朱玹才終於明白于謙所指。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewAbECE4S4

「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。。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVirEEr8Y8
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftCHa5XvlE
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA3vMiYg9F
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihVap8Xk1S
若是此次皇帝處置失當，唯恐群臣激憤難平。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bERxTNwGJ
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFN8I1ma8b
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzQSNyEjKg
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4qRRkTtno
「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？355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18KOn6FHk3
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSUj2KuPXF
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGppp8TZ2R2
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P4AARf4wd
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK6EcQ1gLj
「兩位大人。」朱玹與商輅一同回望，來者是司禮太監懷恩。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3BLDxqhjL
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsAuDxYYqH
「有何旨意？」朱玹問。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87XHSCjPUT
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2cuPY6XOs
「陛下問，是那些官員上的奏摺，受何人指使。」懷恩謹慎地回答。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8QbQpgNeS
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXofC7g5Nz
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXZLXgFm2j
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujoUcMNb98
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uvQJiCrIs
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCp72NQnZp
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGzIlFyugE
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFczdFv5Zn
「王爺，這，萬萬不可……」懷恩既驚且懼，「啊，東廠的尚銘公公來了。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboR4PNpZTM
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnhc6ikYYr
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMa7aSvMj2
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbzu0vT35f
大殿內，皇帝氣憤難消。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroaqpgiRyn
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gp8hT6IoR
「你說的都是真的嗎？」朱見深指著跪在地上的尚銘。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ubJXHNB1F
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC9umWGBv4
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5st5eg8bKI
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKqdXxbuUy
「是誰幹出這等事？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9NODvqggh
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uOr7tywGA
「奴才斗膽揣測，是西廠廠督汪直。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FJqK4OvbF
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVgPzlYtqW
「可有實證？」朱見深狐疑，「當日黑眚噬人，是汪直挺身保護朕。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2w2uqctsn
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7UyEuIva9
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SAGUygZ27
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvxBG8sgFC
朱見深低頭思忖。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboUMgORHdO
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2PQ6Y5PX7
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNz5lBOQIF
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTF5I5XDw9
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSoEibgwEi
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBH67X50lI
懷恩去而復返，快步走向商輅與朱玹。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgSvcKaIHY
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4aZRSHQBn
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNan70eJDFL
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8oEtx7Cav
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg2mLWlDFz
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gJyXgC5F9
諸臣叩首謝恩，彈冠慶賀。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3dspRQnmT
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5BTbE9H9O
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmW33ioeIU
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiavxaPi8K
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWXgi0lynC
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3j2TZaC0X
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCFFtZN1d9
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXQGN6Jiqh
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jPGExUths
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gR2Nq16mr
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UuXDKDHMI
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF9Z93eyGk
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvYxqVT9m7
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHWoqrfdfw
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmK5qEidgz
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZWNiaV6Dx
「其餘應天府的官員在何處？」朱玹問。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKJOvgXKhv
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8mLmFByQh
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmlfjT155S
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGFLtv7A5z
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALCIJWY600
