Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Reader's Heart
Zhu Ding turned around and looked at the majestic Jinyi Guard, he really didn't understand why he was a criminal in a few words? I haven't heard of the Ming Dynasty being sentenced for quarreling with people casually!
Zhu Ding squinted at it, and the eldest son of Zhou, who was still shouting like a clown, had an uncle who was a brocade guard and a thousand households very majestic?
Zhu Ding glanced at the thirteen eunuchs who were still angry, and he hated this old tail that had annoyed him from the beginning, didn't he just say the wrong thing, regardless of the occasion or place, who made trouble with himself, who was he?
He turned around, looked up at Zhou Zhen, who had already come to him, and asked loudly, "Dare to ask your lordship, which royal law did the student commit, and he deserves the monstrous name of a criminal?" ā
Zhou Gong frowned, Zhu Ding did not salute, and he did not admit his guilt, which made him feel bored for a while, but after all, this was at the gate of the academy, and he didn't know how many people were watching them in the dark, so he had to deal with it in an orderly manner, the most important thing was to stand a rational word, and it was definitely impossible to break into the criminal's house late at night to arrest people as rude as before.

Because of this, he had just taken over the Mingzhou Jinyi Guard, and he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he condescended to personally lead the team to deal with it, and in another ten days, His Royal Highness King Yan, who was ordered to supervise the maritime affairs, would arrive in Mingzhou, and during this time, there could be no problems.
Although His Royal Highness King Yan is not born to Queen Ma, he is brought up by his mother, and his relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also very deep.
Zhou Gong lowered his eyes, swept the Zhu Ding, which was less than half his height, and scolded impatiently:
"What kind of identity are you, seeing that the official is completely rude and respectful, you still claim to be a student? Are you famous, or are you a student of my Mingzhou official school? Don't think that you are a character after studying in the academy for a few days, although the academy is assigned by the saint, you can also take the college examination and the township examination, but the academy is not an official school, where do you have the confidence to call yourself a student in front of the official? ā
Zhu Ding's face remained unchanged, but he knew in his heart that this person was definitely here to provoke thorns, that is, to find a place for his nephew.
But this time he was very wrong, a prince of Zhou would not let Zhou Gong risk losing his job to support him, Zhu Ding didn't know how many people died in the first year of Hongwu because of his inadvertent sentence "showing horses' feet".
Zhu Ding's hands were folded, and he shook at Zhou Gong crookedly, and his head was symbolically lowered twice, and he raised his head and asked: "The grass people's mistakes and omissions, but the grass people have something to understand, Lord Zhou, you came here today, is it a business or a private matter?" ā
Zhou Kong's eyes became even more fierce, and he had no patience: "It is naturally a business to arrest you, a bandit who has insulted the mother of the country." ā
Zhu Dingyi raised his face: "Lord Zhou, don't button your hat to the grass people, I have a lot of respect for the queen's mother, and I will never dare to forget her old man's health sooner or later, and my old family can testify!" But Lord Zhou, since you are here today for official business, then I would like to ask you, the sentence just now that asked his uncle to arrest me, but the grass people heard it wrong? ā
Zhou Gong's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he looked fiercely at his nephew who was still there with his teeth and claws, and as soon as he bit his teeth and heart, he raised his voice and ordered: "Come on, take off the coat of that uncompetitive thing, reward ten lashes, don't cheat and play tricks, otherwise you will go for him!" ā
It is very clearly written in the law of the Ming Dynasty that when the yamen arrests the fast in the performance of official duties, if there is interference from the family, but they will be punished, and the arrest involved must also submit a review to the boss and punish himself, if this thing appears on the Jinyiwei, the punishment will be even heavier, the Jinyiwei directly belongs to the emperor, and the emperor's people are finger-pointed, once they are caught as pigtails, it is really not fun.
The reason why Zhou Gong wanted to whip his nephew on the spot was naturally because Zhu Ding had no room for words, but where would he not have the meaning of burning a fire when the new official took office? He can even do business with his relatives and nephews who are studying in the academy, so what are the more people who ask him to intercede?
But it is precisely because he is now dealing with his own nephew, so he ignores one thing, if he can use force in front of the academy, what nonsense will he talk to Zhu Ding, and how easy it is to be thrown back to the Qianhu House with one kick earlier.
"Stop! Who gave you the courage to use force in front of the academy? How can you reckless men be allowed in the land of the sages! ā
Sure enough, the clothes of the students of the eldest prince of Zhou had just been rudely torn off the placket by the brocade guard, and the torturer holding the whip was rounding the whip, and when the eldest prince of Zhou was like a girl crying and crying at his uncle to ask for mercy, a loud voice stopped all this.
It was none other than Sun Mei and the old master of the academy who spoke out to stop Jinyiwei.
"Lord Zhou is so powerful, who gave you the courage to execute the students of my academy in front of my academy?"
As soon as the old master came out, it was extraordinary, although a brocade guard did not greet the old man, but the arrogance on them was much more restrained.
Zhou Kong's face became very ugly, but he still barely put on a smile and was ready to say something.
Zhu Ding's face did not change, but he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't believe that the master had just arrived, and he happened to save the eldest prince of Zhou under the leather whip.
He was about to be arrested by Jinyiwei, he didn't care, Zhou Dagongzi appeared just as he was about to be whipped, and his eccentricity was too great, right? How can I say that I am also a student of the academy!
Just when Zhu Ding was slandering his master in his heart, when Zhou Gong was still organizing the wording to deal with his master, he heard the sound of people shouting and neighing, and a sedan chair and a few guards on horseback were hurrying here, and some shouts came vaguely, but they couldn't hear it clearly.
But the people who came, Zhu Ding knew who it was, and in the entire Mingzhou City, there was no one more shabby than the prefect's sedan chair.
After a while, the sedan chair came to everyone's eyes, and the prefect who was upside down was holding the arm of the sedan chair man and getting off the sedan chair slowly.
Duan Zhifu was slow over there, because he was in a hurry, he was uncomfortable by the 360-degree all-round swinging sedan chair without dead ends, and Jin Yiwei could only wait to see the purpose of his visit.
Although they are not subordinate to each other, and even Jinyiwei's authority in the prison is much higher than that of the prefect's yamen, but after all, Duan Hong is still the supreme governor of Mingzhou in name, and Jinyiwei still has to do this kind of face-saving work.
Duan Zhifu finally calmed his breath, his feet were still a little staggering, and he always walked out of curves, so he could only come to Zhou Gong with the support of the guards around him, and arched his hand and said:
"The old man took the urgency of Master Sun, and finally caught up with it all the way, I don't know if Lord Zhou can give the official a face and hand over this Zhao Dabao to the government to deal with? This kid is still in the age of a weak crown, and he doesn't know where to listen to the rumors in the market, and he doesn't know the meaning at all, but Lord Zhou is serious.
Let the old man take him back to the mansion, so that he can be punished, and then he won't bother with the brocade clothes. ā
After listening to Governor Duan's words, Zhu Ding felt that the blood in his whole body was rushing towards his head, and his face was hot and on fire, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and get into it directly; He is ashamed of himself, Master Sun doesn't care about himself, the old man is afraid that one person is not enough, so he will move the rescuers!
While being ashamed, he was also grateful, not only to Master Sun, who usually had a straight face and didn't fake colors to anyone, but also to Governor Duan, who was pleading with Zhou Gong in a low voice at this time.
You must know that although the authority is not as real as Zhou Gong's, Duan Hong is the prefect of the fourth grade after all, and he can be called the official of Zhou Gong of the fifth grade and thousands of households, if it is not for the purpose of fishing out Zhu Ding, why let a prefect wronged himself like this?
You don't have to think about it to know that it must be the old master who brought a message to the prefect, and the prefect has indeed been very much back to protect Fang and Guang and Zhu Ding's grandfather and grandson, not to mention far, just say that this time Zhu Ding has a convulsion, if there is no prefect to intercede, not only Zhu Ding will become an out-of-school child, but the old man Fang will also be unemployed.
No matter what Zhu Ding's current psychological reaction was, Zhou Gong did not want to let him go because of Governor Duan's plea.
"The prefect said this is wrong, as early as the first year of Hongwu, His Majesty had issued a strict decree, but there are private criticisms of the queen's mother, it must be strictly investigated, if there are people with bad intentions and harboring evil intentions, they will be given their own divisions, and they can be punished with capital punishment and then reported for the record.
Lord Prefect, the lower official made a question, this Zhao Dabao's words today, I am afraid that the Lord of the Prefect has also heard from the people who spread the rumors, is it enough to be a big disrespect?
Moreover, before he slandered the queen's mother, he also said that 'the Ming Dynasty is not far from the country', dare to ask the prefect, I have been in the country for ten years, but the people have enjoyed more peace than the previous dynasty, but he cursed me to the Ming Dynasty, is this kind of language a hidden evil?
If he was not punished with death, it was for the sake of the fact that the academy was a land of sages and sages, how could he bend the law for personal gain because of a few partiality words from the prefect? ā
As soon as he said the phone, the prefect of Duan was blushing.
Zhou Gong is right, Zhu Ding's words and deeds in front of the academy today, if they were changed to other places, maybe they would have been killed on the spot with a click, Zhu Yuanzhang is good to his children, and he is not ambiguous about his wife, it was because of the incident with Queen Ma that Lao Zhu almost killed the people on that street.
These Sun Fuzi and Duan Zhifu didn't know, but Sun Fuzi still didn't hesitate to send Duan Zhifu for help, after Duan Zhifu learned about it, he put down the case he was asking about and tried at hand, endured the pain of madness all the way, and felt here in the fastest time, and tried his best to keep Zhu Ding, not without reason.
I don't want Zhu Ding to lose his life at a young age, just because he didn't say much, it is very unimportant, but more importantly, Zhu Ding is a student of the academy, a scholar, and it is very likely that he will be an official of Daming in the future!
Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of officials over the years has been too heavy, the country has just stabilized, and the Mongols are still eyeing their homeland outside the border, Zhu Yuanzhang's wolf-like eyes have already aimed at those founding fathers, so the academy, as a place of literature, must show an attitude, an attitude not to let Lao Zhu continue to kill.
They can't take care of the life and death of the generals, but the civil and official groups of the Ming Dynasty, with scholars as the main body, have begun to hug the group.
And today's incident with Zhu Ding is the best lead for civil officials to test how heavy Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intentions are!
Although the hands of the Ming generals are covered with blood, the hearts of the Ming scholars are not necessarily clean!
But Zhu Ding, who was the bait of the game between civil officials and the emperor, didn't know it.
Old Master Sun and Governor Duan were not sure at all, and they didn't even plan to save him, they were just using the incident at Zhu Ding to show their attitude and show it to the people of the world! Go and consider it for Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Ding is just an orphan adopted by a civilian old man, his life is not valuable, he should also feel honored to be able to change the fate of the world's scholars in this way, and to be able to give his life to fight for the proper right to speak for the people in the court.
This is what Master Sun and Governor Duan really thought in their hearts after today's emergency.
Therefore, Governor Duan is actually here to work hard today!
"Lord Zhou's words are wrong, you must know what happened back then, the Holy Queen Mother learned that countless innocent people had died, and she knelt in front of Your Majesty to move with emotion, and Your Majesty also issued an edict against herself, and recalled the relevant will.
The things of the year are no longer counted, and Lord Zhou is bringing up the old things again today, is he trying to overkill? ā
What Governor Duan said was right, Queen Ma was kind-hearted, and she was not angry because of a few words of ridicule from the common people, but she was sad because Zhu Yuanzhang had killed too many people, and no one kneeled to beg for mercy, but at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had almost killed the adults on that street, so he symbolically issued an edict of guilt and took back his will.
But over the years, local governments, especially the newly established Jinyiwei, have killed a lot of people because of this allusion! The emperor is willing to take things seriously, that is called Chrysostom Yuyan; The emperor doesn't want to take it seriously, it's really not as good as a fart, if anyone takes it seriously, then he will be happy to the end.
Zhou Gong was about to refute, but Old Master Sun, who had already come closer, blocked his words back.
"Lord Zhou should know what kind of place my academy is, and what is the purpose of His Majesty's academy, Your Majesty once said, I Ming Dynasty to establish the country with force, but to rule the country with literati, these years the saint spared no effort to promote culture and education, even the smallest mountain city is a poor place, there are also official schools to preach, to this day, Your Majesty is to create Luming Academy, in order to cultivate a new generation of elites.
These are still children, but they are also my greatest hope for Daming, do you want to treat Zhao Dabao, a weak-crowned child, with a few words of childishness?
My homeland in China has been invaded by barbarians, and it has only taken more than ten years to restore the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.
What you want to kill today is not just a Zhao Dabao, but the hope of the future of my Ming scholars, the future of my Ming Dynasty, and the dignity of my world's scholars. ā
Master Sun exhaled those words loudly with his inherent, unhurried, but loud and abnormal tone and timbre, and the blood boiled when he heard the students present and the scholars who came here one after another from the academy, and they actually puffed up their chests one by one and approached the embroidered spring knives in the hands of the Jinyi guards and them.
But Zhu Ding's enthusiasm was gone, and he watched the performance of Sun Fuzi and Duan Zhifu coldly.
The words have already been said to this point, if he still can't understand the implication of it, his nine emperors will be in vain!
But after all, he was the only one present, and he had such an opportunity, except for the two initiators, even Zhou Gong, one of the parties involved, thought that Master Sun and Master Duan pulled out these great righteousness in order to suppress him and make him soften.
Jinyiwei is the most ferocious hunting dog under Zhu Yuanzhang's command, he can take anything, but he can't be soft!
When Zhou Gong is angry, he will order Zhu Ding to be forcibly taken away first. But in this way, he fell into the hands of two conspirators, Zhu Ding can be sure that the subordinates brought by Duan Governor's Mansion will definitely stop Jinyi Wei from arresting him, and it seems that he is desperately trying to stop him, but in the field, these people will inevitably work and not work, and they will definitely be arrested.
And if their front feet are taken away, these two old things will dare to die on their back feet!
Death has always been the main means of these poor people, and this matter will inevitably make a big deal when the time comes, and Zhu Yuanzhang is forced by the anger of the world's readers, and he must also make certain concessions, which may make the scene of the dominance of the readers after Yongle come in advance.
Zhu Ding has always remembered a very popular sentence in later generations, "Those who die are scholars!" ā
Originally, they could make trouble as much as they liked, Zhu Ding really didn't want to get involved in these things, at most, after Zhu Biao ascended to the pole, he would give him a support, which could somewhat suppress their arrogance, but today he had to come out once.
What you do is your business, but don't take advantage of me! This is Zhu Ding's truest thoughts.
"Zhao Dabao, a grass citizen, is willing to cooperate with Lord Zhou Gong's investigation."
Zhu Ding's shout immediately broke the confrontation, which made Zhou Gong overjoyed and made the two conspirators look disgraced.
"Zhao Dabao, are you worried that the official and the master will not be able to protect you? Don't worry, even if we fight for our two lives, we won't let these eagles and dogs take you away! ā
After listening to the shout of the prefect Duan, Zhu Ding's good impression of him completely disappeared, and he loved the people and loved the people, but the idea of putting the interests of scholars first made Zhu Ding extremely bored.
"The scene of this is beautiful! Don't you really want to die so that you can be admired by future generations? The master can't fulfill you! ā
Zhu Ding simply ignored him, but simply arched his hand to Master Sun and said: "Today's matter, starting with a poem, let it end with a poem, the student begs the master to give him pen and ink, let the student offer ugliness, and write a couplet." ā
Master Sun looked at Zhu Ding thoughtfully for a long time, and finally nodded.
At that moment, a student took out a wolf pen from the book bag, sucked up enough ink and handed it to Zhu Ding.
Zhu Ding didn't say much, leaving two lines of big characters on both sides of the gate of the academy, and then let out a burst of mocking laughter, and walked towards the Jinyi Wei Qianhu House with self-care.
PS: Five thousand words, the amount of two more, will not be divided into chapters.
PS again: Advertise a friend's book: "There is a Dugu Lang in the Northern Dynasty", the writing is quite good, but unfortunately the recommendation was delayed because of the text change, and I am very interested in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, so you can move and take a look.
