All the beings said that Xianyang was good, and when they came to the pit, they began to complain about Qin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Suzhou, Wuzhong, the emperor's will and his uncle's intercession did not save Mr. Jinda's life.

Uncle Hedongjun waited for a long time at the King of Qi, but what she waited for was only one sentence - "Crazy birth against the law, the blame is self-inflicted, and not killing now is not enough to understand the law and discipline, and it is normal." ”

After receiving the edict from the King of Qi, Jiang Guozhu, the governor of Jiangsu, and Yan Shaoqing, the prefect of Suzhou, immediately arrested Jin Shengsi, Ding Guanzhong, and other cadres. However, due to the fierce reaction of the gentry and people in Suzhou, and the complicated background of Jin Shengxian and others, Jiang Guozhu was worried that the southern capital would interfere, and the case might be a big matter and a small matter. In that case, it would have been inappropriate for him to kill people early, so he did not dare to execute them immediately, but waited a few days.

Sure enough, after the crying temple case was transmitted to the southern capital, it caused an uproar in the southern capital, and hundreds of officials went up one after another, asking the emperor to pardon the talented people who petitioned for the people, and even officials from the south of the Yangtze River wrote to the court, pointing out that "clearing the arrears and urging the levy" was a bad law, and the people used were all cool officials, not only could not increase the money and grain taxes for the court, but provoked a popular uprising, causing the people to deviate from the court.

In one day, 72 concerts were connected, which can be called the first since the establishment of the national dynasty.

The great Confucian Huang Zongxi wrote a book, saying that the matter of clearing the debt was unheard of in ancient times, and it was actually the first absurd thing in the world, and if it was not stopped early, it would endanger the cause of the Ming Dynasty. It is also pointed out that Wu Zhongxiucai gathered and cried in the temple, which is the virtue and politics of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and it is also the custom of the local supervision government to do illegal things, and it is definitely not a gathering of people to plot chaos, so it is determined to be a reverse case, which is really black and white, and right and wrong are not clear.

The second assistant even wrote angrily to the city wall, pointing out that Jiangnan had just been restored, and it was the time for the people to recuperate, and the imperial court did not win the hearts of the people at this time, but instead did rampant and violent things against the gentry and the people. If the Crying Temple case is confirmed, then the hearts of the people in the world will not be clear.

The day after the book was written on the city wall, Emperor Dingwu issued an edict to stop paying off the arrears, and even sent a decree to Zhou Shixiang, the king of Qi who was recuperating from his injuries in Zhenjiang, and severely reprimanded him.

The emperor was angry, the officials and gentry were surging, and everyone said that Zhou Shixiang would definitely back down, but he never thought that the matter of paying off the debt did not stop, but became more and more intense.

Zhou Shixiang first asked Emperor Dingwu to send Lianchengbi to supervise Anhui and Henan on the grounds of Anhui's urgent military affairs, and transferred them out of the southern capital. Later, in the name of the King of Qi, Zhang Changgeng and Wang Shirong were appointed to clear the debts, not only stationed in the provinces to urge the levy, but also set up their branches in the prefecture and county, in addition to contacting the local government, the yamen can also contact the local garrison. All of a sudden, the word "clearing" changed color. On both sides of the south of the Yangtze River, those who are forced to pay off their debts to the yamen are counted in tens of thousands of households.

After all, Jin Shengxi is his own nephew, Qian Qianyi, as the leader of Jiangnan Shilin, is also the Taifu of the Dingwu Imperial Court, seeing that King Qi and the Jiangnan gentry have a hostile relationship because of the debt, and his own nephew is about to die tragically, he personally went to Zhenjiang after thinking about it, intending to persuade King Qi to change his course, abolish the evil law, and forgive the talents of the Crying Temple, so as to ease the current tension. Unexpectedly, when Qian Qianyi arrived, the King of Qi went to Jinshan to review the soldiers and horses of the two towns that had just been replenished, and the two sides failed to meet.

Helpless, Qian Qianyi had no choice but to write a handwritten letter and order someone to send it to King Qi quickly, asking King Qi to see his face and let go of the Wailing Temple. This letter was sunk in the sea, and King Qi did not reply at all. Qian Qianyi waited in Zhenjiang for two days to no avail, so he had to return to Beijing angrily. After that, his wife Hedongjun also rushed to Zhenjiang from Suzhou to intercede for Jin Shengsi, this time the King of Qi attitude was very clear, saying that Jin Shengsian and others were called Crying Temple, which was actually anti-grain and anti-tax, which was a heinous crime, if it was pardoned, the court could not maintain it.

When the king of Hedong was leaving, he got a handwritten letter from the king of Qi, and the number was written - "If you don't pay grain and don't pay taxes, you will have no country and no home"

In Suzhou, Jiang Guozhu saw that Qian Qianyi and his wife and the emperor's decree had failed to make King Qi change his mind, and suddenly knew that he could not delay any longer, so he ordered Yan Shaoqing, the prefect of Suzhou, to execute Jin Shengxian and other talents.

The day before the execution, the prison routinely sent a "decapitation meal" to a group of Xiucai who were going to the execution ground tomorrow.

That night, the crying in the prison continued, and Youxiucai was so frightened that he was drowning in incontinence. In order to escape death, they pretended to be crazy and stupid, but everything was useless. The prison guard only laughed at the strange situation in the prison, and had no mercy, because the province had just written a letter, and in the future, the county officials, officials, and jailers were all paid by the yamen, and if they did not get anything from paying off the debts, then the cadres would have no money. In this way, the county officials and others no longer dare to collude with the gentry and big households, otherwise the income will be small, the job will not be guaranteed, and the head will be big. If the people in the prison incite the people of large families not to pay food and taxes, they will cut off their way of life. Since then, the two sides have been enemies, and it is no matter why.

However, Jin Sheng, who was convicted of the main culprit in the reverse case, was worthy of the title of "crazy life", he laughed and ate the severed head meal, so he called the jailer and told him that he had something important to tell him. The jailer thought that this Mr. Jin Da had something earth-shattering to tell him, or revealed the secret of some heirloom treasure, so he happily brought pen and ink to serve Jin Shengsi.

Unexpectedly, Jin Da Madsheng pointed to the severed head rice he had just eaten, and smiled at the jailer: "Peanuts and dried tofu are chewed together, and they taste like walnuts." If you have this skill, you will die without regrets! ”

The jailer was made to cry and laugh by Jin Shengsi, and seeing that he was really not afraid of death, he also let him go, and did not care about him in general.

The execution the next day, desolate and solemn, a small area of gloomy clearing, surrounded by swords and sword shadows, looked eerie and terrifying. Jin Shengsi, who was condemned as the head of the reverse case for "inciting chaos and incitement of the public", and other 31 talents, all wore shackles and stood on top of the prisoner car. On the execution ground, the executioner held a ghost-headed knife with a cold light, which was terrifying and chilling.

In order to achieve the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, Yan Shaoqing ordered thousands of people to watch the execution. In order to prevent chaos in the execution ground, more than 1,000 garrisons were also requested to maintain order.

Seeing that the time of execution was approaching, Jin Shengsi's two sons, Li'er and Lianzi (nickname), looked at their father who was about to die, and they were even more sad, and tears welled up. Although Jin Shengsi was sad in his heart, in order to comfort his son, he said calmly: "What's the use of crying, come, I'll make a couplet for you." After speaking, he chanted the couplet "Lotus Seed is bitter in my heart".

His two sons were kneeling on the ground at the moment crying so much that their throats were dry and their liver and gall were splitting, how could they have the heart to couplet.

The second son is also implicated by his father, and the county school official informed them a few days ago that because of his father's resistance to grain and taxes, the government issued a document that the two could not enter the imperial examination within five years. The imperial examination is the only way for scholars to enter the office, and now they are not allowed to take the imperial examination for five years, although it does not sound long, but five years is a long and important thing for scholars. If they don't take the examination for five years, it is equivalent to cutting off their way of the imperial examination, making them hopeless in the imperial examination from now on, how can the two not complain about their father. But it is flesh and blood, and now the father will be punished, and as a son of man, he can only weep bitterly.

Jin Sheng sighed that Er'er was crying heavily, thought for a while, and sighed: "You all get up, don't cry, for your father." Then he read the following couplet, "Pear (Li) Er's intra-abdominal acid".

This couplet is very cleverly matched, and it is even more moving. Yan Shaoqing, who was the main punishment, snorted coldly after hearing this, this madness is too dark and untransformable. He didn't bother to listen anymore and threw the lot on the ground.

"Slash!"

I saw that the cold light flashed, the knife rose and fell, and a generation of mad people fell.

The executioner saw two paper balls rolling out of Jin Shengsi's ears, and opened them suspiciously: one was the word "good" and the other was the word "pain".
