Zhu Youzhen hurried to the Yin'an Palace, and saw that there was a young man who was not tall and had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but he didn't know him.

Sun Chuanting introduced: "Your Highness, please forgive the ministers for being abrupt. This is Shi Kefa, a friend of the minister, a new science and technology jinshi, and is now waiting for the edict from the Jiupin Hanlin Academy. He has just come out of the Fusi Edict Prison in Jinyi Weibei Town, and he has an urgent need to see His Highness! ”

Shi Kefa? Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, this name was like thunder. In the long river of history, there are not many people who can be crowned as national heroes, and in the chaotic and decaying era of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, there is only one person who can be recognized by later generations as worthy of this title, and that is this Shi Kefa!

In history, when the Beijing division was broken by Li Zicheng and the Qing army entered the customs in a big way, it was Shi Kefa, who was then the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, who supported the crisis and supported the Southern Ming court. When the Qing army was like a bamboo, the sword pointed to the south of the Yangtze River, it was he who personally supervised the Jiangbei, and defended Yangzhou with thousands of tired soldiers, resisting 100,000 Qing troops for half a month, and finally because he was outnumbered, the city was broken and martyred. The Qing army suffered heavy casualties during the siege of the city, and slaughtered the city to vent its anger, which is the "Yangzhou Ten Days".

But no matter what Zhu Youzhen thinks, this Shi Kefa is also a weak scholar, and he is not equal to the tall and mighty national hero in his mind no matter what.

When Shi Kefa saw Zhu Youzhen, he immediately knelt down on his knees, grabbed the ground with his head, and said sadly: "Please be merciful to Your Highness, and you must save Kefa's teacher!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was even more baffled by his play, so he had to pick him up first and said: "Don't cry, I can't hear what you say when you cry." Don't be in a hurry and say slowly, who is your mentor? ”

"It's the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, Zuo Guangdou Zuo Lord!" Shi Kefa still couldn't cry.

Sun Chuanting saw that Shi Kefa couldn't help himself, so he had to introduce the past situation to Zhu Youzhen for him.

It turned out that long before Shi Kefa was not admitted to the Jinshi, he went to Beijing to take the exam, but because his family was poor, he couldn't afford to live in an inn, so he had to stay in a broken temple on the outskirts of Beijing. One day he studied hard from late at night to early in the morning, and finally he couldn't stay sleepy and fell asleep on the table.

Who knew that Zuo Guangdou, as the chief examiner of the year, inspected Gyeonggi and happened to travel here. Seeing that Shi Kefa worked so hard, the article he had just written was neatly written, and there was something in his words, so he suddenly had a heart of love for talent, took off his mink fur coat, covered Shi Kefa on his body, and quietly asked Shi Kefa's name from the monk.

When it came to the exam, Zuo Guangdou found Shi Kefa's paper from the selected exam papers, and immediately named him the top two in the second class. He also summoned Shi Kefa to the inner room of his house, visited his wife, and said to his wife: "My sons are busy, and he will continue my will in the future, but this life is the ear!" ”

This incident became a good story for a while, and Sun Chuanting also became friends with Shi Kefa, and found that the two were like-minded, so they became friends.

At this time, Shi Kefa had regained his composure a little, and said: "The teacher has always been upright and honest, as everyone knows, how could he do anything to take bribes!" It must have been framed because of the thirty-two crimes of Wei Zhongxian, who was jealous of the eunuchs!

"And the teacher was sent to prison, and the pacification department was very strict, that is, the teacher's family was not allowed to go to prison to visit the prison. The teacher is as kind to the students as a mountain, and now that he is suffering from this great difficulty, the students are terrified!

"Yesterday, the students suddenly heard that their teacher had been burned in prison, and his life was in danger. The students had to risk their lives to buy off the jailers with money and go to the Imperial Prison to visit them.

At first, the jailer resolutely refused to allow it, but later saw that the students were crying incessantly, and finally they were moved. He asked the students to change into shabby clothes, put on straw sandals, carry wicker baskets, and hold shovels in hand, pretending to be a garbage and dung sweeper, and then he got in.

"The student has seen his teacher, he, he, he..." Shi Kefa said this, and he couldn't say anything after a few pauses, and finally burst into tears again.

"What the hell is going on with Lord Zuo, you say!" Zhu Youzhen anxiously urged.

"Your Highness, Master Him, there are no more muscles on his legs, and all his bones are exposed outside!" Shi Kefa said with tears in his eyes, "His face has been burned with a soldering iron, and his facial features can't be distinguished at all!" ”

Zhu Youzhen had already learned from Xu Xianchun's mouth that Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others had been beaten. But he couldn't have imagined that Jin Yiwei would be vicious to such an extent, using such cruel means to persecute the Donglin party, and he was covered in a cold sweat when he heard it!

Shi Kefa continued: "When the student saw his teacher in such a miserable situation, he couldn't help but hug him and cry loudly. The teacher couldn't open his eyes, but when he heard from the voice that it was a student, he was furious, and pulled his burnt eyelids away with his fingers, staring at me like a torch, and scolding: "'Stupid slave! What kind of place is this, how dare you break in on your own! The state affairs are so corrupt, and the old man is dead when he dies! You're still young, and there's so much to do! You are so light and righteous, if someone finds out, who can support the world?! Get out of here, or I won't need a traitor to catch you, and I'll kill you with my own hands! So saying, he groped for the torture instrument on the ground and made a swing of it!

When the student saw that the teacher was angry, he had to bow out again. The teacher's lungs and liver, cast by real iron and stone! ”

Zhu Youjian listened to Shi Kefa's thrilling narration, was speechless for a long time, and tears fell in his eyes, and only after a while did he say: "Lord Zuo is worthy of being a loyal and upright minister, and at this point, he is still thinking about national affairs and his students!" But I don't know what happened to the other adults? ”

Shi Kefa sighed and said, "Your Highness, the other adults, the situation is also similar to that of the teacher!" The six of them were each held in a cell, and the six cells were closely connected, and the jailers were so tightly guarded that the students did not dare to stop for more, but only took a cursory glance. Yang Lian and his mentor were punished the most, and they were also unrecognizable, and there was no flesh on the thighs!

"Wei Dazhong and Yuan Huazhong, the two adults, were already sick, and after being tortured, they were extremely weak, lying on the ground motionless! Only Zhou Chaorui and Gu Dazhang are slightly better. But the student heard from the jailer that in just one or two days, the Jinyi guard would take action and kill several adults one by one! …”

Speaking of this, Shi Kefa cried bitterly again.

Sun Chuanting hurriedly comforted: "Xianzhi, what's the use of crying!" Your Highness is kind-hearted and will definitely try to rescue a few adults! Don't you still have a bloody letter from Lord Yang, hurry up and take it out and show it to His Highness! ”

Shi Kefa hurriedly held back his sorrow, took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Zhu Youzhen with trembling hands: "This is the blood book written by Lord Yang the day before yesterday, which was handed over to the student by the jailer and brought out. ”

Zhu Youzhen spread out the piece of paper, and saw that the paper was full of bloodstains, and he actually dipped his fingers in blood to write it, which was shocking. It reads: "Ripple the rod of death!" infatuated with retribution, foolish to the enemy; Fight for seven feet for a long time, and no longer worry about it. is not for Zhang Jian to flee, nor for Yang Zhen to take medicine, he wants to return to the court with his life, and he does not want his wife to cry.

"When questioning, he was in vain for stolen goods, murdered and flattered, and compared every five days, with a strict limit. The family is far away, the road is poor, the body is not iron, and there is only a life. Thunder and rain and dew, it is not the grace of heaven, a life of benevolence and righteousness, died in the edict, and it is unspeakable to die. What a pity? Why complain?

"But I, as a vice-minister, have been commanded. Confucius Ziyun: Entrust the lonely life, and you can't take it away when the festival is coming! With this thought, you can finally see the first emperor Yu Zaitian, the two ancestors and the ten sects and the emperor and the queen of heaven and the world. Laughing and laughing, slashing the east wind, what do I have to say? ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the blood book blankly, tears welling up in his eyes. From this blood letter, he seemed to see the thin old man again, full of righteousness, stubbornly kneeling at the door of Qianqing, reciting loudly, regardless of whether the apocalypse could hear it or not.

Yes, most of the Donglin Party members are like him, they don't know the current affairs, they don't know how to be flexible, and in the dark officialdom and vicious battles, they only rely on their enthusiasm and naïve ideals to go toe-to-toe with Wei Zhongxian, but in the end they ended up blocking the car with a mantis arm and losing completely.

However, the integrity of not fearing power and sacrificing one's life for righteousness embodied in them is the soul of the Chinese nation that has been precipitated for thousands of years!

Zhu Youzhen knew very well in his heart that in history, the "Six Gentlemen of Donglin" were all killed by Wei Zhongxian. But now that I am in this era, do I just watch a few people die and do nothing?! Could it be that if you have traveled from your previous life, you can't change history and save these loyal ministers from this catastrophe?!

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was silent, Zhou Kui, Lin Youkun, Sun Chuanting and Shi Kefa below did not dare to speak out, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Suddenly, Zhu Youzhen jumped up from his chair and shouted viciously: "The enemy of the enemy is our friend!" I kind of figured it out, what Wei Zhongxian wants, I want to do it with him! Didn't he want to kill a few adults, and I won't assassinate him, I'll rob the prison and rescue a few adults! ”

Just as Zhou Kui and the others looked at each other, Zhu Youzhen said excitedly: "Isn't Wei Zhongxian afraid of assassination, then the big masters must be by his side." Let's give him a way to avoid the real and attack the false!

"Mr. Shi also said just now that he can be mixed into the edict prison, which shows that the place is not monolithic. Father-in-law, as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, you want to go to the Imperial Prison to inspect it, but no one dares to stop you, right? Just take this opportunity to work together with Lord Lin to rescue a few adults directly! With your skills, no one can stop you! By the time Wei Zhongxian's men arrived, several adults had already gone away, making them stare dryly! ”

Shi Kefa's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he had caught a life-saving straw, and said again and again: "Good, good, good!" If Your Highness can rescue the teacher and a few other adults, the law is willing to make you a cow and a horse! ”

Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, your method is like child's play, how can you make it?" If Uncle Xiaoyao and Lord Lin were to rob the prison, wouldn't it be tantamount to rebellion? If you can really rescue a few adults temporarily, under the anger of Long Live Fury, even Uncle Xiaoyao and Lord Lin will not be able to save their lives, I am afraid that Your Highness will also be implicated! ”

Zhu Youzhen and Shi Kefa were like being poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and they were stunned on the spot.

Zhou Kui, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Your Highness, this method may be able to try." Both the humble and the Lin are officials of the imperial court, and they are well known to everyone, so they really can't come forward. But there are others..."
