"So fast?" Carol was taken aback. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"In fact, the Empress Dowager has long been aware of his conspiracy activities, and Lord Shangshu Gangyi of the Criminal Department was ordered to investigate him, and found a lot of evidence that he manipulated words and ways to impeach Earl Lin Yiqing behind the scenes, as well as the evidence of his crime of killing the army and greedy Mo Sect Bandit Mansion Treasury and instructing pirates to assassinate Xinjiang ministers when he exterminated the Southern Sect and Bandit Rebellion in his early years, and the Lord Gangyi reported it to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager was furious, so she sent him to prison." Ge Quinoa said, "This matter will spread in two days, and I don't dare to think about how the government and the opposition will react." ”

Carol shuddered, understanding why the Queen Mother had asked herself about it that day, and why Mrs. Hurd had answered so much more appropriately than herself.

As a simple-minded girl, her performance that day was too reckless, but the Queen Mother did not show the slightest disgust towards her.

Carol's feelings for her began to change from admiration to reverence.

On August 15, 9086 (the 12th year of Daqian Guangxu, the 19th year of the Meiji era of Japan), the city of Beijing was overcast. When the sky was still dawning, the gate of the Criminal Department slowly opened, and several officials of the Criminal Department wearing official uniforms, wearing official hats with a lower brim, walked out with their entourage Yuguan and got on the horse. After walking for a while, at a junction, more than a dozen cavalrymen with foreign guns on their backs rushed over and joined them in one place, led by the Admiral of the Nine Gates.

After greeting each other for a while, the two groups of people and horses ran together in the direction of the city.

Zeng Boheng wore the clothes of the previous court, and paced in the courtyard for a while with a pleasant expression, then lifted the curtain and walked back to the house. He boiled a jug of water and poured it into a bowl.

Getting up early to drink tea is a habit he learned from the people of Beijing, who drink tea exquisitely, tea leaves from dragon buds, sparrow tongues, hair tips, to before the rain, pearl orchid, incense pieces and so on. Ordinary people drink incense tablets, use brass tea plates, put a fine porcelain teapot, and match six teacups of the same color and pattern to form a group. However, the teacup used by the eunuch's house is a gaiwan, and drinking tea with a gaiwan is more noble, more formal, and more solemn. In order to show his wealth, Zeng Boheng used a silver plate to hold the bowl.

He sat on the Taishi's chair, turned his head sideways to look at the Western table clock, it was already half past six in the morning. Suddenly, there was a noise of people outside, from far and near, and in an instant the curtain of the door was suddenly opened, and the armed yamen officials rushed in, five or six as soon as they entered the house.

As soon as they rushed in, the eyes of the group searched around. The master sat precariously and watched angrily as they entered. But his movements were not flustered. He picked up the bowl from the table, lifted the lid, and took a leisurely sip of tea.

Such an ending was indeed unexpected to him, but in fact, he had a premonition.

After the officials saw him, the commander of the Nine Gates who took the lead bowed and said respectfully: "Lord Zeng, the above is ordered to invite your Excellency to walk around the ministry for a while." ”

"I see." Zeng Boheng sighed, "What's the reason, can you talk to me?" ”

"My lord must have heard about it, in addition to the conspiracy to frame Lord Lin, you also committed some things in your early years...... Hehe, Xiaguan's knowledge is really limited, and the specific situation, Lord Gangyi knows best, or you can wait to meet him and ask him directly. Admiral Nine Gates laughed.

Zeng Boheng put down the bowl steadily, stood up, put on his official hat, straightened it, and walked out with his chest straight. Officials on both sides hurriedly gave way and escorted him into the carriage.

The carriage stopped at the Criminal Department, and Zeng Boheng was hugged into the Criminal Department by the front call. The officer on duty in the criminal department took out the detention book, asked him about his identity, and asked him to sign in. He didn't say a word, picked up the brush, and wrote three big characters on it: "Zeng Boheng." ”

He was taken to the first room in the southern prison of the Criminal Department Prison, the head cell, where the bed, table and chair were dark, dirty, and simple, and compared with the graceful and gorgeous court clothes he was wearing, they constituted a very inappropriate contrast. He was the first to sense the contrast, and he laughed.

Once the sky is unpredictable, even if he is a minister, he can't help but say that he is not allowed to go home, and he will be beheaded in the city while wearing court clothes.

This is life, you can't choose everything, you have something to take and something not to take, you should calmly face the loss, and the loss will be regretted.

He sat on the bed, thinking wildly, and his mind couldn't help but be a little confused.

He secretly formed a party to frame Lin Yiqing, and he did it very secretively, so no one should know, but why did An Weijun, the person who directly impeached him, not hear about anything, but he was arrested?

Which of the things he committed in his early years caused the Empress Dowager Renxi to be furious, and she wanted to go to prison regardless of her great achievements back then?

He was confused for a long time, and he couldn't come up with a clue.

That's life. There are many kinds of beings in the world, but there can only be one kind of person -- only one kind of person can choose to be one, and at the same time one has to refuse to be many other kinds of people, although there are still interesting and attractive elements in them.

I was thinking and thinking like this, and it was almost noon.

From outside the passage, the jailer pushed his lunch under the railing, with only a simple nest head and a bowl of vegetable soup. The jailer looked like a monkey with a sharp beak, looked like a villain, and pretended to be sacrosanct, stared at Zeng Boheng for a while, and then shouted viciously: "After eating, throw out the soup bowl!" And he turned and walked away.

In the afternoon, I still spent in the chaos of the world. He got tired of thinking and decided to take a look and stop thinking about it. He put the chair on the bed, stood up, barely climbed the high window, looked out, and saw the inner courtyard of the prison of the Criminal Department, the big tree in the courtyard, and suddenly reminded him: "This ...... It's the cell where Hu Yulin lived! He was so surprised that he wanted to cry out.

He thought of Zuo Jigao, who fell because of the Hu Yulin case, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

There are only a few people who rose up in the Longhair Rebellion back then. Zeng Boheng thought.

Although Zuo Jigao died, he did not suffer such a prison sentence, which can be regarded as a blessing.

I don't know how many passers-by have been closed in this criminal department prison and this head prison cell, their bodies no longer exist, their flesh and blood no longer exist, but their shadows still exist. In fact, everywhere they are frozen in the air, embedded in the walls, and infiltrated into the ground, although they have been locked up in the same prison and the same cell, and even depressed and different generations, each of them does not belong to each other; Life experience has its own merits. However, when generation after generation turned to dust, they finally accumulated together bizarrely in different times and in the same space, making a convergence of time and space. Maybe tossing and turning in the middle of the night, maybe dreaming back in the middle of the night, in the same prison and in the same cell, the figure of the deceased in the past is terrifying, and the suffering is passed on and replaced in this way, only the beginning, not the end.

Now, Zeng Boheng came, and after he saw the big tree, he suddenly felt that the head room of this criminal prison had become narrower, and how many vicissitudes, how familiar, how many life and death, how much secret hatred, how much misery and desolation, all appeared in front of his eyes. This feeling is especially strong when the night is getting darker.

There were no lights in the cells, the lights were oil-lamped, only in the aisles, and it was almost dark in the cells.

In the darkness, his own shadow has left him. He is a shadow in his own right. Shadow loves the dark, and the darkness is its home. As soon as it returns to darkness, it becomes the master. for he is darkness in himself, the same color as darkness. I think I am a form. Actually, it was wrong, at least when the darkness was shrouded. He is not a pure form, but a shadow within the form, from which the light pushes the shadow, but the shadow is reluctant until the light is weary. In the darkness, you will slowly feel that the shadow has entered the form, the form has coincided, and the form has melted - not that the shadow is gone, but that the form is gone. The shadow is like the shape of the dream, the sleep of the dream, and the blade of the knife. The shadow did not disappear in the darkness, but was dyed in a darker color. At this time, the soul seems to have nothing to attach to. Man never knew what the soul was, and now it is nothing. If there is such a thing, it is also the first to turn his back on man in the dark, and the soul is only a shadow of a shadow.

In the darkness, Zeng Boheng turned into a shadow, and the previous deceased in the same cell in the same prison began to rely on each other.

And so the night passed.

Zeng Boheng was leaning against the wall, wondering why he had come to this point.

“…… This time I was in prison, and I may have complained that I made a mistake in giving gifts on my 40th birthday in the west. I bought rubies in Burma for the east, and the emeralds for the west, and the emeralds for the west because I heard that she liked green jade. But when the gems were sent, I heard that because I looked down on Li Jintai's eunuch, and when I was admiring the emeralds in the west, Li Jintai provoked him and said, 'It's rare for him to understand so differently, isn't it worthy of red on our side?' Now it's stirring up a sore spot in the west. In terms of the clothes and ornaments of wives and concubines, according to the rules, the eldest wife uses red, the younger wife uses green, and the woman in the west is from a little wife. At that time, I kowtowed and confessed, and the west did not settle the account immediately, but now I took the opportunity to settle the account. ”

He thought again: "When they came to arrest me yesterday, I hadn't eaten yet, and I asked the Admiral of Jiumen to wait for me to eat, and he agreed. When I was leaving, they secretly reminded me: 'If you have anything to say, please explain it to your wife.' I realized they were going to kill me. I simply said, 'No need. And he came with them. However, it is easy to kill me, but it is not easy to explain it to the world, see how the west explains! Thinking of this, he smiled slyly.

Because Zeng Boheng is a well-known official and arrogant, he is much more popular than others in the prison of the Criminal Department.

He is 62 years old this year, he has been rolling in officialdom for decades, and he has seen all kinds of darkness, and in the darkness, he is partially cynical and calm, facing the ups and downs of the world, and he is also quite self-understanding, self-satisfied and self-free.

But this time, he seemed to feel like he couldn't get rid of himself, but he still didn't mind too much. Although he was a high-ranking official in the imperial court, he was not born in the imperial examination. In the officialdom where almost everyone is from the imperial examination, it looks very dazzling and lonely. Those who were born in the imperial examination pay attention to the rank, and those who were admitted in the same year are called "old and old-timers", and those who were previously admitted are called "old-timers", and in the office and in the public, there are "old-timers" and "old-timers" everywhere, and they are called one after another, embarrassing him aside.

But Zeng Boheng has a different way of laughing at himself. He found three famous actors and asked them to jokingly call him "old-timers", and he himself jokingly called them "old and old", thinking it was ironic.

Now, he is in prison, his role has changed, and all those who went to prison before him have become "old-timers"; All those who were imprisoned at the same time as him became "old and old", and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.
