All of a sudden, the situation changed abruptly.

The civil ministers and nobles who have been spoiled since the reign of Emperor Renzong Hongxi finally saw the ruthlessness of the Zhu Emperor again. Except for Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Chengzu, who had a record of dealing with corrupt officials on a large scale, no emperor would sharpen his knife to kill so many officials at once.

However, what made all the civil officials and nobles in the court desperate was that they found that they had no good means to check and balance Emperor Chongzhen.

Speaking of face, Chongzhen made it clear that I was shameless, and he didn't care whether he was said to be a tyrant or not.

When it comes to public opinion, one of the literate students is counted as one, whoever dares to jump, Emperor Chongzhen dares to shoot whoever is killed, and Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai in front are the best examples. For the sake of the little tax exemption benefits of their own family and the psychology that the rafters rot first, it is impossible for the students to work together to oppose Emperor Chongzhen.

The nobles are as well-behaved as sheep. Since the civil servants crippled the civil fort, the nobles have been unable to control the army at all, and they have all become moths waiting for death. If it weren't for the fact that he would not be called mean and unkind, Chongzhen would be even more eager to cut off all these princes and princes.

As for the people, there is a foundation for the eternal edict to be placed there, and there are no people who believe that Emperor Chongzhen is a tyrant. Could an emperor who loves the people so much be a tyrant? , it must be that the slaughtered official is not a good thing, and he was killed when the Son of Heaven found out.

And it is precisely with these confidence that Emperor Chongzhen chose to take down Wen Tiren without hesitation - I don't have a golden finger, I don't have an old grandfather with me, and I don't have Baidu search in later generations to know everything, so there is only one last option left, let the disobedient die.

And originally looked at the loyal Wen Tiren, and from the moment he spoke out against him in the court, Chongzhen actually knew that the big family that has been handed down for two thousand years, and the big family that has been cared for by all dynasties and no one has punished it is more like a big family in a country within a country, and it is indeed not so easy to deal with.

After arriving at the scattered dynasty, Wen Tiren's home was a mess. With the news that Wen Tiren was imprisoned, the house suddenly panicked.

Wen Yan, the son of Wen Tiren, was quite assertive, drank the panicked crowd, and called the little guy who came back to report the news and asked, "What's going on?" You elaborate. ”

When the little guy heard this, he replied: "Back to the words of the eldest young master, the little one doesn't know the inside story. It's just that I listened to the discussion of the officials and lords of the next dynasty, saying that the old man didn't know what to say today, which made the emperor angry, so he sent the old man to prison. I'm just afraid ......"

Wen Yan said: "What should I do, what should I do, but I just went to prison, and I didn't raid my house and destroy the door, why are you panicking?" After going down, do not chew the root of the tongue, otherwise you will be beaten to death. Let's all go down. ”

After everyone dispersed, Wen Yan came to Wen Tiren's study. He also ordered the little servant to invite the distinguished guests to meet in the study.

The distinguished guest saw that it was Wen Yan who invited him to meet instead of Wen Tiren, and on the way here, he saw that the house was also panicked, and he knew that something must be wrong, so he asked directly: "Eldest prince, but what happened?" ”

Wen Yan said: "There was an accident in the court, and my father may have angered the emperor for what happened last night, and now he has been imprisoned." ”

When the distinguished guest heard this, he was shocked and said, "Is there such a thing? The eldest prince can rest assured, Kong will definitely run with all his heart and will definitely find a way to rescue Lord Wen. ”

Wen Yan laughed miserably: "Mr. Kong bothered. It's just that once you enter the edict, how many can you get out? If the emperor hadn't sent people to come and raid the house, there would be room for things to turn around. If it is evening, and the raiders come, then everything will be closed. ”

Mr. Kong frowned and said, "Don't worry, eldest prince. After all, it's not that far, so let's wait and see. Kong went out to contact and see if he could jointly write a book and let the emperor release Lord Wen. ”

Wen Yan knew in her heart that she was afraid that her family would also become an outcast. It's just that after all, he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "Everything will bother Mr. Kong a lot." ”

Mr. Kong confessed again, and then left the study.

It's just that Mr. Kong just walked out of the gate of the Wen Mansion not far away, and he was turned around by several Jinyi Guards. The leader sneered: "You will obediently follow us, and you will have to serve the masters?" ”

Mr. Kong was not afraid, and said: "You are waiting for the reckless behavior at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but there is still a royal law in your eyes?" ”

The leader of the Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi smiled nonchalantly: "Wang Fa? Lao Tzu dignified the Son of Heaven pro-army, doing things for the Son of Heaven, isn't it the king's law? Are you talking to Lao Tzu about the king's law? You haven't read a book? ”

Mr. Kong said: "Even if you are arrogant for a while, how long can you be arrogant?" Can't you see the fate of Ji Gang during the Yongle period? ”

When the brocade-clothed Weidi Xiaoqi heard this, he was dumbfounded and said with a smile: "Ji Gang? Are you stupid at reading? Do you know what the Son of Heaven pro-army is? Lao Tzu tells you that the Son of Heaven is pro-army, that is, he forgets all right and wrong, life and death, and only has the Son of Heaven in his heart. The Son of Heaven wants me to wait for life, I will wait for life, the Son of Heaven wants me to wait for death, and I will die when I wait. ”

After speaking, he saw that someone was pointing and pointing in the distance nearby, but the little flag said loudly: "Jinyiwei is ordered to take people, irrelevant, don't watch, lest you misunderstand you, and your face must not look good." ”

Seeing that everyone had dispersed and stopped watching, the little flag smiled and said, "This gentleman, please?" ”

Mr. Kong said, "Do you know who I am?" I'm afraid that this edict is easy to enter, and I want to let someone come out again, but it's not so easy to invite. ”

When Xiaoqi heard this, he also smiled and said: "Who is Mr., Lao Tzu doesn't know, and he doesn't know it." The more you know, the more dangerous you are, we are not children, who doesn't know? As for not asking Mr. to come out, that's not what Lao Tzu Xiaoqi should care about, don't talk nonsense, please! ”

When Mr. Kong heard this, he knew that it was useless to say more, so he snorted coldly, and followed the small flag in the direction of the edict.

When he arrived at the Imperial Prison, Mr. Kong was taken directly to the cell inside. It's just that when passing by Wen Tiren's cell, Mr. Kong read the meaning of pity, resentment, and seeing his jokes from Wen Tiren's eyes looking at him, although he was puzzled, but the Jinyi lieutenant behind him didn't give himself time to think, let alone let himself have any eye contact with Wen Tiren, he only pushed violently and shouted: "Hurry up!" ”

Mr. Kong glared back angrily, only to push harder. Seeing that I couldn't think about it, I had to walk forward.

It's just that when I went to the innermost cell, I saw a person I had never thought of, and I broke my identity in one mouth: "Mr. Kong, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
