Of course, Yang Jian would not easily release Zhang Jieyuan and his whole family because of Zhang Mei's kneeling, he was just willing to give them a chance, "I originally planned to behead Zhang Jieyuan, who offended Long Yan and did not repent, in the near future, and taught the people of the world not to dare to disobey me." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, Zhang Mei, who almost died at the hands of his own father and was expelled from the house, is really touching, I am not so insistent now, and I am willing to give Zhang Jieyuan a chance for her, as long as he writes a letter of repentance and promises that he will never oppose me again in the future, and no longer oppose my rule, I will not kill him. ”

"Don't kill" is not to release Zhang Jieyuan's freedom, it mainly depends on his attitude towards Yang Jian and the imperial court, how obedient he is, whether he can be soft enough and recognized, and how relieved he can be.

can not be killed, it is Yang Jian's graceful grace, without Zhang Mei's kneeling and begging, it will never be possible.

"The emperor is wise, and the emperor is really too merciful and magnanimous." This is deliberately currying favor with Yang Jian, and it is also happy for Zhang Mei.

Zhang Mei's kneeling begging is undoubtedly effective, and the effect is remarkable.

Peng Lingkong had participated in the sit-in led and organized by Zhang Jieyuan, and as his right-hand man for many years, he was one of the main culprits. He was able to escape when he was captured, and he should have continued the pursuit until he was apprehended. However, seeing that he has already known his mistakes, he will change them, and he can make a 180-degree turn, and kneel with Zhang Mei to take the initiative to confess his guilt, which is also a shocking inspiration and education for the people.

In this way, Peng Lingkong will regain his free body, no longer a prisoner of the imperial court, no worries about his life, and no need to flee to Maoshan to avoid the arrest of the government, which is also a great thing. Zhang Mei: They did the right thing, this is the best choice.

Knowing that Zhang Mei didn't need them to arrest him, he took the lead in appearing, and knelt at the foot of the palace, where Zhang Jieyuan and them were sitting quietly, under Yang Jian's nose, several lawsuits in Dali Temple that were inclined to be severely punished for personal revenge gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone can see it, Zhang Mei means that she is subservient to our emperor and the new court, so that the whole world can see the huge contrast between their father and daughter, their own families are not compatible, unified, and at odds with each other, the emperor will definitely want her to do this, and will let her do it. If we go over there and take people directly, isn't it inappropriate, and it will make all the converts feel cold? Then we won't be able to arrest her and bring her back. "There are officials who are in a dilemma.

Immediately, an official rebuked this statement, "Don't act rashly about who you are still taking now, let's see what attitude the emperor and everyone have, and how they plan to deal with it." ”

"I didn't expect that the little Zhang Mei could still do this trick with us, but we were caught off guard and made us very passive, and we couldn't do anything to her." The officials of Dali Temple, who had Zhang Mei's embroidery, only considered themselves unlucky.

"She's 'come with us for this trick', it's not so simple, people's goals are big, they are intent on rescuing her father and all the people in their Zhang Mansion." Dali Siqing glanced at the other party with disgust and taught him, "Zhang Mei can kneel under the sun all the time, which means that she is an ordinary person, obviously her father Zhang Jieyuan has no beads and a narrow heart and can't tolerate her as a daughter." Don't talk about others, others are your own business; Let's talk about you, don't be hypocritical, Zhang Mei is just an ordinary person, what you have gotten is an ordinary person's embroidery, there is no bad luck and bad luck, it will not bring bad luck and disaster to your family, and the facts have proved that there is nothing wrong. In the future, you don't make a big fuss and cause trouble, so as not to cause trouble for yourself and our Dali Temple. This matter is over, no one should mention it again in the future, Zhang Mei will be handed over to the court to deal with, and we will not touch her. ”

Dali Siqing spoke, giving the exact way to deal with it, who dares to disobey the subordinate officials, no matter how unconvinced they are, they must also obey, even if they are disciplined, they can only endure it, so they have to bow their heads and agree, "Yes, the adults have taught them a great lesson." ”

At this time, there were eunuchs from Dali Temple to pass on Yang Jian's decree, "The emperor has a decree, and Zhang Mei, the daughter of the knowledgeable and knowledgeable, is willing to intercede for Zhang Jieyuan's family, as long as they write down the letter of repentance one by one, they will never be against the emperor and the court in the future, and the emperor will forgive them for not dying, and convey this will to Zhang Jieyuan in the prison They know." ”

"Yes." The officials of Dali Temple secretly sweated to themselves, or Dali Temple Qing was right, stop everyone in time and did not act rashly, if Zhang Mei was caught rashly, it would definitely bring trouble, no, Yang Jian was actually moved by her, for her to be willing to be extra kind to Zhang Jieyuan, and give him a chance to repent and reform.

"You convey the emperor's meaning to Zhang Jieyuan in time, and we will not go over. And be careful, don't say it clearly what the emperor meant, wouldn't it be the emperor who bowed his head to Zhang Jieyuan first, how could there be such a reason to condone criminals with unpardonable crimes, and how to restrain others; As long as he tells Zhang Jieyuan that writing a letter of repentance, conforming to the court, and following the development trend of the country is his only way to survive, and telling him that Zhang Mei has been kneeling to intercede for them, it's okay. Do you understand? Yang Jian specially instructed.

"We all understand, please rest assured, we will do exactly what the emperor wants, and it will be exactly the same." The officials of Dali Temple are full of promises.

In the actual implementation, the officials of Dali Temple did not do what they promised verbally, they did not convey Yang Jian's meaning to Zhang Jieyuan at all, including Zhang Mei's kneeling and begging Yang Jian for mercy, at least not in time, and kept delaying. This is obviously to send the Zhang family to death, he has not repented for a long time, and after Yang Wei loses patience, he will behead him to show the public, and will kill more people.

Fortunately, Peng Lingkong revealed the news to Zhang Jieyuan in advance, and Zhang Mei would plead for him.

Brother Zhang's traumatic blood is still flowing out, and it can't be scabbed. The jailer refused to ask for a doctor, he was in pain, cried to Zhang Jieyuan from time to time, and couldn't eat the prison food.

Xiao Hanlu took her twin sons, as well as Mrs. Zhang's daughter and Brother Zhang's sister, and the servants and maids who waited for them, in a very close cell. She didn't dare to beg Zhang Jieyuan to change his political stance, show weakness to Yang Jian and admit his guilt, so she only encouraged and led the two children to shout to him, pointing out her proposition from the side, "Dad, you save us." (Sir, save me and the children who are suffering, the children are still young and must live.) ）”

Zhang Runyuan also spoke to Zhang Jieyuan more than once, "Brother, I listened to you in everything before, but this time, I want to talk about what is in my heart." The emperor commanded the entire country's army, manpower and material resources, and he did not fight against Yang Jian, and he seized the world and became his prisoner; We use our own thin flesh to show authority, we can't change anything at all, our arms can't twist our thighs, and civil officials can't control the court, so we can only sacrifice in vain, can you bear to let the whole family take their lives and watch them die? Brother, let's give in and surrender to Yang Jian, it's better to steal a life than a senseless sacrifice. ”
