Chapter 958: Eight Sipawen

readx; As soon as he heard the words "White Lotus Sect", Zhu Youzhen immediately realized that the matter was very important, and immediately signaled Lu Ying to stop, and brought her and Dong Qichang into the room to continue the interrogation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Fortunately, at that time, Lu Ying was surrounded by Jinyi Guards, and the people who came in to make trouble were separated by Jinyi Guards, so I didn't know that this case was actually involved in the White Lotus Sect.

As soon as he entered the door, a brocade guard came in to report: "Holy Lord, there are Shoufu Han Yu and cabinet ministers Li Biao and Qian Longxi outside the gate of the mansion asking to see him." ā€

Zhu Youzhen was stunned at first, and then smiled slightly, secretly thinking that the three of them came so quickly. Probably although Dong Qichang is not a member of the Donglin Party, he has a very high reputation among scholars with his poetry and painting talents. Hearing that something happened to his family, these ministers wanted to help him come forward to intercede. It's good to see them, just so that they can recognize what kind of person Dong Qichang is.

Therefore, Zhu ordered the brocade guards to be put in, and the three of them entered the house to salute. Zhu Youzhen also respected them very much, and immediately ordered Jinyiwei to watch the seat.

After thanking him, Shoufu Han Yu's buttocks touched the chair, and he immediately got up again and played: "Your Majesty, the minister just heard that the rebels were attacking Dong Lao Shangshu's Mansion, and Yin Ruan Dacheng of the Shuntian Mansion wanted to come over to arrest the rebels, but was stopped by Jinyi Wei. The saint came to the Dong Mansion in person and dared to ask, what happened to him? ā€

Li Biao also blushed and said: "Dong Laoshangshu's poems and paintings are famous all over the world, why did he suffer such an unwarranted disaster today?" If Your Majesty can't give Dong Qichang justice, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm the hearts of the world's corporals! ā€

Qian Longxi didn't say a word, just quietly waited for Zhu Youzhen to speak.

Zhu Youzhen thought in his heart: The temperament and style of these three ministers are completely different. Li Biao is a typical Donglin Party member, with extremely strong emotional tendencies, and anyone who he thinks is in the same camp as himself must be protected indiscriminately.

Han Yu was much calmer, knowing that Zhu Youzhen would never appear here for no reason, so he didn't say good things for Dong Qichang without opening his mouth. It seems that this Shoufu can still be fair, but it can be heard from his tone that he is more or less biased towards Dong Qichang.

And the most calm is Qian Longxi, who called for a preemptive move, first figure things out, and then express his opinion. Such a person is the most difficult to deal with, and it is no wonder that Qian Longxi, whether in the government or the opposition, is gaining popularity.

Of course, these three are all cabinet members, and there is no need to hide the affairs of the White Lotus Sect from them, so Zhu Youzhen asked Lu Ying to tell the story again. Then he ordered Shi Chunhu to present the night clothes found from the white butler's room, as well as the small wooden box, for the three ministers to see.

The directions in the nightcoat and the wooden box are clear at a glance, so there is no need to say more; And those dense pieces of paper that I remember in some kind of writing, Zhu Youzhen didn't know what was written, and Han Yu and Li Biao also looked at each other.

Qian Longxi was shocked when he saw it and said, "This is Ba Si Pawen!" ā€

Everyone was stunned, including Zhu Youzhen, who didn't know what the "Ba Si Pa Wen" was, so he asked Qian Longxi to explain.

Qian Longxi said eloquently: "Your Majesty, the two adults, Ba Si Pa was the 'national teacher' of the Yuan Dynasty when Kublai Khan was the emperor. He was originally a Tibetan from Us, and at that time, the Tibetan region was united in politics and religion, and Phags-pa was the 'Dharma King' of the Sakya School of Tantra. Because the Mongols believed in Buddhism, Kublai Khan held Phags-pa in great esteem. At that time, the Mongols had a language but no written language, and the script used was borrowed from the Uyghur script. Because of his erudition, Kublai Khan ordered him to create the Mongolian script. Drawing on the Tibetan language and the Chinese character seal script, Phags-pa created a new script that was later called 'Phags-pa'. ā€

"Then the Phags-pa is Mongolian?" Zhu Youzhen asked, "It seems that this secret letter was intended for the Mongols." ā€

"Otherwise, the Phags-pa script is not the script used by the Mongols today." Qian Longxi corrected, "The Basipa script is also known as the 'Mongolian new character', because the glyph is difficult to remember and write, it was only used in the court documents at that time, and it was not used in the people, and the Mongolians themselves are still accustomed to using the Vulva script, that is, the so-called 'Mongolian small characters'." At that time, the Yuan court also specially appointed a group of Han officials who could only speak Ba Si Pa and could not speak Mongolian, who were responsible for issuing orders in the army. Because the Phags-pa script is actually a transliteration of the Mongolian language, the Han Chinese can read it, but they do not understand its meaning, so they do not leak secrets; The Mongols can understand, but they can't read it. Therefore, after the defeat of Meng Yuan, this kind of writing was gradually abandoned. ā€

"I didn't expect that Mr. would still have research on the Paspa language." Zhu Youzhen said admiringly, "Can that gentleman understand what is written on it?" ā€

Qian Longxi shook his head and smiled: "The minister doesn't understand Mongolian, and this Ba Si Pa can only read it, but I don't know his true meaning." You have to find a Mongol to listen to the minister's recitation, and then interpret it, so you can know. ā€

"That's easy to say." Zhu Youzhen immediately said to Shi Chunhu, "Bring that Selemo here, and find a few Mongols from the construction site at random, so that their interpreters can corroborate each other and prevent the Mongols from deliberately mistranslating." ā€

During the time when he was waiting for the Mongols to come, Dong Qichang kowtowed to Zhu Youzhen again and again, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the minister only knows that this person's surname is white and his name is Zhongtong, and he came to the minister's mansion three years ago. Because he knew a lot about the antique calligraphy and painting market, the minister made him a housekeeper. I didn't expect him to dig out a secret room in the well, let alone that he would do such a rebellious thing behind his minister's back, Your Majesty Mingjian! ā€

The three ministers also interceded for Dong Qichang. They think that Dong Qichang is not lying, he hides the White Lotus Sect in his mansion, carries out this kind of secret work, and also abducts people's girls into the mansion, as the lord of a mansion, of course he cannot shirk his responsibility; However, if it is said that everything was instructed by Dong Qichang, there is a lack of evidence. The three of them guaranteed with their official positions that Dong Qichang would not join the White Lotus Sect, let alone communicate with foreign enemies, and begged Zhu Youzhen to find out what was going on, and not to wronged Dong Qichang.

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Dong Qichang in disgust, and then smiled at the three ministers: "What the three adults said is not unreasonable. But according to the existing facts, it can only be said that Dong Qichang may not know, but it cannot prove that he must not know, are you right? If I let Jinyi Wei strictly interrogate Dong Qichang, I'm afraid it won't be too much, right? ā€

The three of them were speechless for a while, and Dong Qichang was so frightened that he trembled. Of course he knew that if he entered the Jinyi Guard's Prison, he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die!

"But I can prove from another angle that Dong Qichang really doesn't know." Zhu Youzhen secretly laughed in his heart that Dong Qichang was shameless and greedy for life and afraid of death, but on the surface, he said with a straight face, "First, according to the people's daughter Lu Ying, Bai Zhongtong forced her to join the White Lotus Sect, and then married Dong Qichang as a concubine. This shows that Bai Zhongtong wants to control Dong Qichang through Lu Ying, if Dong Qichang is already a White Lotus Sect, wouldn't this be an extra move? Second, Lu Ying was robbed into the mansion for many days, and only met with Bai Zhongtong every day, but did not see Dong Qichang, nor was he insulted. With Dong Qichang's character, if this matter was instructed by him, Lu Ying would have been poisoned by him a long time ago, how could he be as good as a jade until now? Dong Qichang, do you say yes or no? ā€
