Chapter 127 He Tengjiao's Ending (continued)
In just a few hundred words, every word is fine, and the knife is bloody, all of which are focused on He Tengjiao's vital point, even if he wants to excuse himself, it is difficult to find a place to start for a while. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Like, the superintendent of the imperial history, listed the crimes of harming the people, humiliating the country, forcing the rebellion against loyalty, and fighting against the party.
He Tengjiao knew that Wang Like was just a pawn, and what he really wanted to deal with him must be a certain bigwig in the court, he asked himself that the relationship was not bad, and there were many Donglin friends in the court, and he had never offended any scholar or scholar, I don't know who had such a big enmity with him, not only to bring him down, but it seemed that he would be killed.
There was no warning in advance, but now it is suddenly difficult, the other party seems to have premeditated, sooner rather than later, not impeached, but when he was relieved of military power, he was impeached after entering Beijing as a second assistant, how could all this be so coincidental?
Thinking of the rumors that prevailed before and the emperor's holy decree urging him to enter Beijing twice, He Tengjiao's chaotic thoughts gradually became clear, and he suddenly had a very terrifying guess in his heart, and cold sweat couldn't help but come out of his bones, and his whole body was instantly washed like water.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have really put a lot of thought into order to take my old life! The surface is excellent, and it is secretly started, so deep scheming! What a ruthless method!
Pity my old man who has been kept in the dark, and still thinks he has a plan, it's really ridiculous, ridiculous! ”
Looking at the fatal Tang newspaper on the bookcase, He Tengjiao smiled bitterly and sat down on the chair.
He was wearing a kudzu robe, his hair was covered with a scarf, and there were three strands of beard floating under his chin, he was originally a dignified man, but at this moment his back was bent, a few wrinkles crept out on his forehead, and the corners of his hair were unconsciously whiter, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.
If a political enemy in the officialdom wants to deal with him, even if the evidence is ironclad, he will not necessarily fight him, as long as he can find a way to win the emperor's pity and trust, even if he is temporarily frustrated, there will always be a chance to make a comeback.
If the emperor wants to deal with him, then there is really no way at all, at this moment he is no longer in Huguang commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, and he is a huge cage for him, and it will be difficult to come out again.
The emperor wants to deal with him, and there is no excuse for the crime he wants, not to mention that he himself is indeed not clean, what bad things have he done in Huguang over the years, although he doesn't want to think about it on weekdays, but he knows very well in his heart that for the sake of his future fame and fortune, for the sake of official position and power, he has done too many things that violate his responsibilities.
If this is the case, the rich experience of officialdom tells He Tengjiao that Wang Like's impeachment has just started, and the wave of crusade has just set off. The best ending is just to save a small life, and live the rest of your life in the despise of the world.
Everything seemed to be as he expected, those officials seemed to have been holding back before, and with the beginning of the supervision of the imperial history Wang Like, a huge torrent quickly broke through the dam and surged in his direction, and in just a few days, the impeachment of his teacher and humiliation of the country, the authoritarian power and misconduct of the country were already as many as snowflakes, although the emperor reacted coldly to this, but did not stop the spread of this trend.
On the second day, several university scholars who were working in the cabinet office were summoned by the palace, and the emperor summoned them in the council hall to discuss important matters. Several ministers hurried to the palace after receiving the order, and He Tengjiao also came. Several people met a palace envoy who came to greet him outside the palace, and as soon as he saw He Tengjiao, he said: "The saint has called, and there is no name of He Gong." ”
With the most basic political sense, He Tengjiao instantly understood, he knew what was going to happen next, and then he was full of shame and indignation, and finally, he held Chao Wat high above his head, bowed three times to the palace, and turned away gloomily.
Zhai Shiyun, who accompanied him, Zhu Tianlan did not retain comfort, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
After returning to his temporary mansion, He Tengjiao was worried and at a loss.
As soon as the impeachment spread, it immediately aroused the contempt and indignation of the ministers of the temple, and almost no one of the subjects of the capital did not indignantly point fingers at the heavens and the earth, saying that the way of heaven was not good, and the state was a traitor in the court. It is self-evident who this great traitor is.
In the face of such a raging reputation among the subjects of Xingdu, and in the face of the emperor's cold attitude, He Tengjiao was truly embarrassed. He Tengjiao, who has always prided himself on being loyal, righteous and obedient, never thought that he would be accused of being a traitor and a minister of disaster.
What is the face of me, how can I live in the world again!
He Tengjiao really didn't dare to imagine that one day he would end up with an embarrassing reputation of "bringing disaster to the country and the people".
In despair and shame, he thought of suicide.
In the middle of the night, the sleepy He Tengjiao woke up suddenly, and clearly heard the sound of the autumn wind sweeping through the courtyard and the rustling of yellow leaves.
He Tengjiao walked away the ladies and maids who were waiting in the bedroom, struggled to get up, and walked to the courtyard for a long time. When the frost and mist were shrouded, He Tengjiao walked into the study alone and took out a porcelain vase that had been prepared in advance from his arms.
From the moment he read the piece of impeachment against him, He Tengjiao had almost expected the ending.
The emperor has been discussing with other ministers what to do with him, and to this day, everything is irreparable!
I am a dignified marquis, how can I face the prison guards!
In this frosty and foggy morning with a sparse autumn breeze, He Tengjiao already had a choice.
Trembling, he lifted the cap, lifted the small porcelain bottle containing the poison potion, and drank it all!
Before he died, he touched the ground with his head and shouted three times: "It's a pity! Pity! Pity! ”
On the first day of September, the second assistant He Tengjiao committed suicide in a temporary mansion!
When the news reached the palace, Zhu Youlang sighed lightly, people die like lights going out, although He Tengjiao is selfish and has poor character, after all, he still has some integrity.
In the original history, after being captured by the Qing army, he did not grovel to surrender and pray for life, and the high-ranking officials of the Qing army repeatedly persuaded him to surrender, but he was sternly rejected and finally killed.
He Tengjiao is a martyr who resisted the Qing Dynasty, but he is also a sinner who mistook power and misled the country, for such a person, Zhu Youlang's feelings are complicated, now that the person is dead, there is nothing to pursue, Zhu Youlang issued an order to remove He Tengjiao's military department Shangshu and Dingxing marquis, retain the title of Wenyuan Pavilion University, and be buried with a product specification.
