Every festival, Qin Chong would go to Zhang's mansion to drink tea and talk with Prime Minister Zhang Duanfu. For Zhang Duanfu www.biquge.info this grandson is the most valued and loved by him among his grandchildren. It's a pity that Qin Chong doesn't want to be an official, he feels a little wasteful.

This day was not a good day, Zhang Duanfu didn't expect Qin Chong to come, but as soon as he saw him, he wanted to pull him to play chess, because he was solving a chess game.

"Alas, Chong'er, you haven't been here for a long time. Just right, come and play a game of chess with me. ”

Qin bowed heavily and bowed, "Chong'er to meet his ancestor,"

Zhang Duanfu smiled: "No need to be polite, come and sit down, help me see how to solve this game of chess." ”

Qin Chong walked across from Zhang Duanfu and sat down, lowered his eyebrows and looked at the chessboard on the table, but he only glanced at it casually, and did not devote himself to the chess game as usual.

"Ancestor, Chong'er came here today because I want to ask you for something."

Zhang Duanfu was a little surprised, Qin Chong had never begged him like this, it seemed that he had encountered an unusual difficulty.

He put down the chess pieces at his fingertips and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Have you heard about Zhang Cairen because of a play?"

"I've heard a little bit about it. However, I am a minister of the previous dynasty and should not be involved in the affairs of the harem, so I didn't pay too much attention to it. Why did you suddenly come to ask this? ”

Qin Chongdao: "Because I have a friend who has been swept up in it." So, I want to ask you to save her. ”

"Oh, your friend? Who? ”

It is the witness that the Queen Mother used to point out Zhang Cairen, a girl from a merchant family surnamed Yin. She suddenly disappeared the day before yesterday, and today we learned that she was secretly arrested by the Queen Mother and entered the palace. However, she was clearly innocently implicated. ”

The kindness of the elders on Zhang Duanfu's face turned serious, "What does the matter of the harem have to do with the people outside the palace?" Do you know the twists and turns? ”

Qin nodded and said, "Well, I roughly know." ”

Subsequently, Qin Zhong truthfully told Zhang Duanfu what he discussed with Fan Qingpu.

When Zhang Duanfu heard this, he was furious, stood up and paced with his hands in his hands, and scolded this as a partisan dispute that brought disaster to the country and the people.

His so-called friends party is a party of relatives centered on the Empress Dowager Liu and surrounding a group of relatives and ministers.

The emperor is young and has not yet been in power, and for several years, the Empress Dowager Liu has been in charge of the government, and her henchmen around her have taken the opportunity to form a party for personal gain and seek progress. Now they are creating all kinds of excuses to eliminate dissidents, which is really despicable.

Zhang Duanfu has always hated this kind of person, and now that he learns about this, he naturally will not sit idly by. He immediately decided to go to the emperor tomorrow morning and ask him not to listen to the words of traitors and cause an unjust case.

After talking to Zhang Duanfu, Qin Chong left Zhang's Mansion and went to Dingwang's Mansion to tell Song Yunchen about Yin Qianhe's whereabouts.

Later, he went to Yin's house to find Yin Qianyi and asked her to write out the complete story synopsis of Journey to the West, so that Zhang Duanfu could report to the emperor as evidence, indicating that Sun Wukong finally converted to Buddhism and had no objection.

Although he really wanted to do something for Yin Qianhe, there was only so much he could do, and all he had to do was wait.

At this time, he once again felt helplessness and helplessness that could not change the established facts. Although Yin Qianhe's matter is still inconclusive, the fear of losing is like a heart-devouring Gu worm, which cannot be shaken off or appeased.

Above the court, the ministers of civil and military affairs headed by Zhang Duanfu and Fan Zheng had a dispute with Qin Wangshan, the head of the household department, and Xu Zheng, the imperial historian, and the dispute was about Zhang Cairen.

This incident officially triggered a head-on confrontation between the two factions of the emperor and queen. Empress Dowager Liu's people advocated a severe crackdown on this remark, and all those involved should be severely punished; The officials who supported the emperor strongly advised that they should not take the words out of context and talk about the crime of plotting rebellion with literature, so as not to make the scholars of the world frightened and chilled.

Zhang Duanfu also presented the synopsis of the story written by Yin Qianyi to the emperor and Empress Dowager Liu. When the emperor saw it, he used this to help Zhang Zhirong speak. But Empress Dowager Liu didn't think so, the content of the story was only passed on by word of mouth and could be changed at any time, maybe the original ending was not like this, and it was only modified like this in order to get rid of the crime.

The two factions were deadlocked, and many officials stood by and watched, so it was difficult to come up with a convincing way to deal with the matter for a while.

At this time, someone reported a recital for King Ding, which counted the unjust cases caused by the words of the article since ancient times, as well as the virtue of the first emperor to govern the country with benevolence, hoping that the emperor would be lenient in dealing with Zhang Cairen's affairs.

On the spot, the emperor ordered the recital of the king to be read to the ministers. The chapter is written in a righteous and strict manner, interlocking with reason, and is very moving, and it is undoubtedly the best support for the emperor and the pro-emperor faction. Although King Ding has not participated in court politics for a long time, his prestige in the court has not diminished much, and many officials who did not express their opinions gradually began to echo Zhang Duanfu, and soon overshadowed the voices of Qin Wangshan and others.

The so-called public anger is difficult to commit, most of the courtiers are against the fuss of the Empress Dowager Liu, she can't insist on going her own way, so she has to temporarily forbear and pardon Zhang Zhirong and Yin Qianhe. But in order to save some face, she still ordered a ban on everything related to Journey to the West, and asked people to close the two clothing stores of the Yin family.

Those involved were exempted from the death penalty, but they were still given some warnings and punishments. Zhang Zhirong was demoted from a talented person to a servant, and Yin Qianhe was released from the palace after receiving 20 boards.

The reason why King Ding took the risk to participate in this incident was entirely because of Song Yunchen.

Song Yunchen learned about Yin Qianhe from Qin Chong's mouth, and went to ask his father to help save Yin Qianhe that night.

King Ding didn't understand why Song Yunchen cared so much about this folk woman.

For the first time, Song Yunchen showed his heart for Yin Qianhe in front of others very seriously, "She is my favorite woman so far, and she is the first person who made me move the idea of marrying a wife." ”

King Ding was very surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Song Yunchen to be emotionally attached to a folk woman. Although he is not very insistent on the relationship between the family, Song Yunchen has already had a marriage contract with Fan Qingyi, and it is impossible for him to allow him to repent of marrying someone else.

For this reason, on the condition of saving Yin Qianhe, he asked Song Yunchen to promise to marry Fan Qingyi this autumn, and restrain his heart of fun and do what he should do seriously.

Song Yunchen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Yin Qianhe has had a bad year this year, and she has encountered various disasters one after another, and she doesn't care about the previous ones, but this time it hit her very hard.

It's not enough to be beaten 20 boards, and you will get better after a while. The important thing is that she spent so much effort and finally opened two stores that have accumulated some popularity, but they were closed by someone with a word, and she can't accept it anyway.

But this is the judgment made by the highest adjudicator in the world, and she doesn't even have a chance to "appeal", so she can only acquiesce. Besides, if you can save your life, you should be thankful, where do you dare to cry out for injustice. (To be continued.) )
