Chapter 181: The Weeping Yan Shenggong
"Yang Yanshi, just let me go!"
In a garden belonging to the Duke of Wei in Nanjing, Yan Shenggong, who was lying on the hospital bed, pleaded with Yang Xin pitifully.
Next to him was the "Disciple Rules".
Poor Yan Shenggong really didn't write this thing, and this is the first time he's seen it!
How could he possibly write this?
It's not that he doesn't know how hateful it is.
It can be said that this "Disciple Rules", as well as Yang Xin's evil deeds of purging Jiangnan Academy on this basis, bringing those scholars out to play boards and even get rid of their fame, made him infamous all of a sudden, and since then he has become the public enemy of Jiangnan Shilin. At this time, how many people hated him so much that they gritted their teeth, they no longer dared to wear gorgeous clothes, no longer dared to enter and leave Qin Huai, and even spoke carefully to be caught by heresy, and the definition of heresy was also stipulated on it.
According to this definition, it is estimated that Su Song and Zhedong will be wiped out.
The Taizhou School had to get rid of their reputations.
And all of this was due to him, and he could not justify it, after all, he was still lying in bed, and the cover of the book was indeed written by him......
The three words of the disciple rule are not.
But Kong Yinzhi and part of the content in it are indeed true.
It was Yang Xin who lied to him that the emperor had some doubts about reading, and specially entrusted Yang Xin to ask him to solve his doubts, so he stupidly solved his doubts, which was nothing more than his reading experience of Confucian classics, and made a booklet to become Kong Yinzhi's respect. Then Yang Xin, a shameless guy, found someone to imitate his handwriting and wrote other content, and these really hateful things were bound together with the original content written by him, and in this way, it became this hateful "Disciple Rules......
This shameless man is really cunning and can't be guarded against.
Anyway, he definitely didn't know that there was a word called PS.
It's a pity that he just lost a leg, he still can't get out of bed after his left leg was amputated, this broken leg just allowed him to redeem a little of the stigma caused by the Guardian Gold Medal in Jiangnan, but now it's all over all at once.
He really wanted to cry without tears.
What's more, Yang Xin didn't let him go even if he was like this.
This demon is still forcing him to do another thing that can be said to make him nailed to the notoriety of a traitor forever.
"To Brother Huan, I will open the skylight to you and say something, Your Majesty wants you to come to Nandu, just to clean up these bastard things for him, Your Majesty trusts you and thinks that you are a loyal minister worthy of his trust, then you should show the appearance of a loyal minister. You must identify Ye Maocai as the mastermind of intercepting and killing Jinyiwei, and also threaten you and force you to say that it was done by bandits, then I will play Your Majesty next, saying that you were bearing the burden of humiliation before, and deliberately did what he said to wait for my arrival.
You don't think Your Majesty doesn't know what's going on.
What happened before the Qingliu Pass, Your Majesty already knew it.
If you don't stand up and identify you, then Your Majesty will no longer think that you are a loyal minister, since you are already disloyal to Your Majesty, then why does Your Majesty continue to give the Kong family wealth?
Is the Confucian family rich because of Confucius?
No.
The Confucian family was rich because it was useful to the emperor.
If you are not loyal to the emperor, then you will be useless, and who will support you if you are useless? The 200,000 acres of sacrificial fields in Qufu, the hidden fields of your Confucian family who don't know how much at all, the commercial taxes in Qufu City, and the hereditary Qufu Zhi County, who still has such preferential treatment? So why should such preferential treatment be given to a family that is not loyal to him at all?
It may not be possible to take back everything, but reduce your 100,000 acres of sacrificial land, cancel your commercial taxes in Qufu City, cancel the hereditary Qufu Zhixian of the Confucian family, replace it with one who is loyal to the emperor, and then go to check the land and property hidden by your Confucian family and let you pay taxes.
Isn't that excessive? ”
Yang Xin said.
"Yang Yanshi, if I really do this, I will be completely ruined, I will give you 50,000 taels, please let me go, just say that I am still unconscious, you see, I have broken a leg, am I like this, you still refuse to let me go?"
Kong Yinzhi said with tears in his eyes.
This demon!
He really didn't understand why this demon always liked to harm him.
No injustice, no hatred!
He also gave this guy tens of thousands of taels of silver, but why did he always harm himself again and again?
He won't let go of a broken leg!
"No way!"
Yang Xin said cruelly.
"You don't have a choice, the Kong family doesn't have a choice.
This is the test that Your Majesty has given you, and this is which side Your Majesty is looking at.
You stand on His Majesty's side, the grace of the Kong family will not change, and you will even receive more rewards from Your Majesty, such as continuing to increase the number of sacrificial fields for you, you stand on the side of others, the Kong family will be completely abandoned by Your Majesty, and will never get his favor again.
It's as simple as that.
Don't be under the illusion that there is any other choice, and don't have any illusions about being wise and self-sufficient.
You only have two choices.
Loyal to Your Majesty.
Or disloyal to His Majesty. ”
Yang Xin said.
I have to say that every time he bullies Yan Shenggong, it makes him feel very happy.
It can be said that it has been cool to bully all the time.
However, Kong Yinzhi is indeed very important at this time, if Kong Yinzhi can stand up and testify, then Ye Maocai can bypass some procedures and directly convict.
There is no need for any physical evidence, and the testimony of Yan Shenggong will not be false.
Speaking of which, Ye Maocai was still not ruthless enough at the beginning, and it may be that he still had some feelings for Confucius after all, and the smartest thing he was at that time should have been to kill Yan Shenggong together, so as to avoid this kind of thing, but he didn't kill Yan Shenggong, so he could only be killed by Yan Shenggong.
Jiangnan Shilin will not scold Yang Xin.
Because Yang Xin is a bad person, a traitor full of evil.
But they will put the culprit who killed Ye Maocai directly on the head of Yan Shenggong.
It was Yan Sheng Gong who killed him.
Yan Sheng Gong is a traitor.
As a result, the reputation of Yan Sheng Gong stinked step by step, and the Donglin Party would retaliate, such as exaggerating the purity of Yan Sheng Gong, exaggerating the illegal behavior of the Confucian family in Qufu, and even demanding that the Confucian family in Quzhou be changed to inherit the title of Yan Sheng Gong.
Then the eunuchs continued to protect him.
In the end, the public was finally angry, and the emperor had no choice but to comply with public opinion.
This is Yang Xin's plan to harm Yan Shenggong, first let Kong Yinzhi come out to testify, and then Ye Maocai and Lin Gongzi raided the house, and then arrested Gao Panlong according to He Jing's confession, as long as Gao Panlong is arrested directly, then Nanzhili Shilin has no other choice, they must take the most direct means to force Tianqi to choose to be a Daoming Jun or a faint Jun.
This is the leader of the Donglin Party.
The sage that the entire Nanzhili and most of the Jiangxi scholars look up to.
It is also the soul of the current court and local officials of the Donglin system, although this person does not seem to ask about foreign affairs in the opposition, but he can really manipulate the government behind the scenes, and the private letters he sent from the Donglin Academy are the basis for those Donglin officials. Donglin Academy can be said to be the core of all the academies in Nanzhili, those mountain chiefs and teachers are only the first to climb the dragon horse, and the gentry of the entire Nanzhili are also through their children studying in the major academies, their political demands are conveyed to these mountain chief teachers.
Eventually, Gao Panlong became the core of this invisible system.
To say that the Donglin Party is indeed not equated with a modern political party, this is just a political alliance formed in the imperial court based on the civil servants of Nanzhi, but relying on the perfect academy system, it also has a brain, this brain is the Donglin Academy, or shrink into a person.
The mountain chief of Donglin Academy.
Gao Panlong.
As long as he is arrested, he is forcing the gentry of Nanzhili to make a choice.
This is not the time when Jiu Qiansui forced him to die, that time Tianqi and Jiu Qiantose have been laying out for six full years, cleaning up the imperial court and the local Donglin Party, and at the same time supporting the civilian forces that depend on him, so that he can really do something against him, the de facto leader of the Donglin Party.
But it turned out that he died the following year after the apocalypse.
And now it's different.
Yang Xin didn't have so much time to complete the net of the Donglin Party step by step, just like the nine thousand years old in the original history, so he could only use this method of luring the snake out of the hole, and use his evil deeds of provoking the bottom line of the civil officials and gentry again and again, so that they couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to jump out and fight him. Then he gave them a blow to the head by the most direct means, and this stick is the premise of the next reform, and it is impossible to carry out the reform normally if he does not give them a blow to the heart.
So now is the time for Yan Sheng Gong to make a sacrifice.
Whether it is to have everything that their Confucian family has, or to his reputation, it is impossible to continue to be a bastard among the emperor and the gentry.
"Yan Shenggong, you can't do it!"
Yang Xin shouted.
Poor Yan Shenggong's tears dripped silently.
"Then I'll go back and give Banzai to the Lord Banzai!"
Yang Xin stood up and said.
After saying that, he made a gesture to go out......
"Don't, don't, Yang Yan, I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Yan Shenggong stretched out a hand and cried.
"That's right, you obediently obey me, and you don't have any loss, isn't it just a few scoldings from the scholars! You see that I am scolded every day, and I am not as rich and glorious? I'm afraid that they will be in a hurry to dig my ancestral grave, and you don't have to worry about them being in a hurry to go to Qufu, and they can't dig your ancestral grave. Dong Qichang's family was burned by them, and now it is not the same as a high-ranking official in the capital, as long as you are loyal to the emperor, as long as the emperor knows your loyalty, the wealth and glory of the Kong family will not change.
What can they give you?
It's nothing more than a little hype and a little fame. ”
Yang Xin sat back on the edge of the bed and comforted him.
Yan Shenggong cried like a tearful person, which made Yang Huan, who came in outside the door, look weird.
"Uncle, Duke Wei, they are waiting for you."
Yang Huan said.
"Protect Yan Sheng Gong, just say that Yan Sheng Gong needs to recuperate, and no one is allowed to disturb him unless I approve it."
Yang Xin said.
Then he just got up and left.
Yan Shenggong on the bed in the back was still weeping
