Chapter 68: Frame-up
This time, Lu Bing's combined attack on Yang Yiqing did not go well, Zhu Houxi insisted on his own opinion, stubbornly did not listen to the rumors and rumors coming from any direction, thinking that it was enough to reduce Yang Yiqing to a commoner. Of course, Zhu Houyu has another reason, that is, the first emperor Zhu Houzhao once dealt with Yang Yiqing, and Zhu Houyu properly maintained the criticism of the first emperor, which is quite a bit against the dead Zhu Houzhao. It is a mild perverted behavior caused by extreme anxiety, which has been on for a long time and has intensified in the future.
Lu Bing was not too disappointed, anyway, Yang Yiqing had already fallen, so it was like fish and meat, and he could only be slaughtered by others. However, things can't be done too obviously, if it's too obvious, everyone knows that Lu Bing killed Yang Yiqing, it will also be bad for Lu Bing's own status and reputation, and his strength will inevitably be affected in the future. "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, and today Lu Bing is going to play Lu Bing's three qi Yang Yiqing, and he also has to ask for Yang Yiqing's life to stop.
Yang Yiqing came out of the prison at this time, and with the support of his adopted son Yang Siyu, he got into the carriage back to his hometown again. Life ups and downs, worship will enter the picture, to this day, although it has ended up like this, it is not in vain to go so far in the world.
Hometown, the concept of hometown is already very weak for Yang Yiqing, he hasn't been back for a long time, the last time he came back was when Emperor Zhengde was in power, the old people died and died without news, in addition to everyone who knows their name Yang Yiqing, they only know the magistrate.
The Dantu who arrived at Zhenjiang Mansion was noon, and there were not many people on Dantu Street at noon. Most of them are busy with work, and today is not the day of the set. Therefore, the sparse shops are not busy, and there are no street vendors on the streets. The children of the poor read and wrote little, so the adults went to work in the fields, and the children were satisfied, and they ran and played in groups on the streets.
Suddenly, a child was reading something out loud. The other children also echoed the sound like a nursery rhyme, Yang Yiqing experienced this big change, his heart was too hot, his ears were a little back, and he couldn't hear what he said so he asked Yang Siyu. Yang Siyu's face changed drastically, and he refused to explain, and Yang Yiqing ignored Yang Siyu's obstruction, got out of the car, and walked towards the child.
"It's good to be an official. You can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. Ying Ninglang, the family has countless silver. Guoshuo rat, sanctimonious and serious. The dog is corrupt and the thief shouts to catch the thief and run fast! The children repeated it over and over again, but this rural nursery rhyme that did not fit well was particularly harsh to Yang Yiqing's ears. Isn't Ying Ninglang talking about himself, and he was removed from power precisely because of Zhu Jizong's case, which involved corruption.
I thought someone was framing me. And the people have their own justice, and what kind of conduct they are should be seen by the people. If he said that he was ruthless and disregarded for his faith, Yang Yiqing would be acceptable. In officialdom, the heart is not ruthless and unstable, and being merciful to the enemy is cruel to oneself, so everyone is ruthless. But saying that he is a big rat of the country who embezzles and accepts bribes, Yang Yiqing will never listen to it.
Dedicating one's life to the country and the people, although there may be some inadvertent wealth flowing into one's own hands, this is also normal. As for the official, it is impossible to do nothing, and the subdivision is not bad. But he has a clear conscience, he has never taken the initiative to embezzle, and he is very strict with his family. This is clearly pouring dirty water on themselves, and the people actually believe it.
Yang Yiqing was ashamed for a while, angry, and couldn't breathe up, only to feel that his throat and eyes were sweet and almost spurted blood. But Yang Yiqing pretended to be calm and swallowed it raw, but his face was already pale. If it squirts out directly, Yang Yiqing may faint immediately, but if he swallows it, he will suffer endlessly, and this mouthful of dirty blood will be suffocated back into his body, and it will not be uncomfortable in the future.
Yang Siyu scolded and drove away the child, but Yang Yiqing shook his hand and said: "The mouth of the people is more important than the mouth of the people, you can't explain the words spread among the people, you can only smear and blacken, the nursery rhyme still says so, let alone the adults." The people are sometimes the best to be demagogic, hey, be alone, be alone. Let's go home. ”
The old mansion is not small, which does not mean that Yang Yiqing is a corrupt official, this can only show that the emperor's grace is vast, this mansion was built by Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houxi before he asked Yang Yiqing to go out of the mountain. The emperor's move is naturally generous, in the case of not encroaching upon, the Yang Mansion is very lenient, although it is not comparable to the Lu Mansion of Dengzhou Mansion, but it can be regarded as the best in the official mansion.
People in the officialdom naturally know that they are all envious, thinking that Yang Yiqing has been favored by the first emperor and the current two holy emperors. But the people don't understand, now the whole township is rumored that Yang Yiqing is a corrupt official, and now the emperor of the East Window incident tolerated Yang Yiqing's contribution to the country, so Yang Yiqing was let back. Now this big mansion is like evidence of this kind of corruption rumors, which makes Yang Yiqing feel that it is difficult to distinguish his mouth.
The accusations of being framed, the rumors in the mouths of the people, and the big mansion made Yang Yiqing feel angry when he thought about it. I thought that the ups and downs of officialdom would take everything lightly, and I didn't care what others said and how I thought of myself. Now I know that people not only live for themselves, but also live in the eyes of others, and it is not a good feeling to be the target of public criticism. Of course, it's not good to be uncomfortable, so many people in the court scolded Yang Yiqing and didn't scold Yang Yiqing crazy, not to mention these people, Yang Yiqing just felt a little wronged, so there was a chain reaction.
When Yang Yiqing walked to the door of the house, he smiled, the door of the house was closed, and the wall and door were painted with poems and paintings insulting Yang Yiqing. ”
"Father, what do you mean?" Yang Siyu asked worriedly, for fear that his father would be angry and go crazy.
Yang Yiqing pointed to his courtyard wall and said with a smile: "Our officials in the Ming Dynasty have achieved my position, who has never been a generalist, not to mention that I have had several ups and downs, and now such a field is not still commonplace, maybe when will the official be reinstated." You say that the people have the time, and who has the courage to paint on the courtyard wall of our house. ”
"Father is saying that these are all deliberately done by someone, just to make your father angry and deliberately disgusting our Yang family?" Yang Siyu said.
Yang Yiqing nodded and said, "Not only that, but that nursery rhyme was also spread by them." Nursery rhymes are a good trick, and I'm really angry that I'm still uncomfortable, but I've done some of this painting on our wall or something. After doing it, it exposed their intentions, and it was too obvious for me to see through it, hahahaha, it's just a bunch of villains, it's just small, don't worry. ”
"It's just that it's too despicable to use such a trick." Yang Siyu said indignantly.
"It can't be said that the political struggle is all about doing everything. Even if they use some indiscriminate tricks, it doesn't hurt, and besides, being a father is not completely clear-conscience, and everything is done above board, so this is understandable. If I hadn't done it like this, I wouldn't have been able to find the flaws in it, and I'm afraid I'm going to vomit blood in anger at this time. Yang Yiqing still said with a smile, Yang Siyu also laughed when he heard it, and the two of them had a sense of pride in breaking through the mystery.
Yang Siyu knocked on the door, the door opened left and right, and the family rushed out with a stick, but when he saw that it was his master and young master, he threw down the stick. Yang Siyu said angrily: "What's the matter with you, it's just that you don't open the door in broad daylight, where can you greet you with sticks?" ”
Jia Ding said with a sad face: "Back to the young master, these days there are often people scribbling on the door or on the wall, the door is open on weekdays, and now the reason why it is closed is because someone often throws things into our yard, we thought that those people dared to knock on the door today to cause trouble, so they came out with sticks." ”
"Throw something! It's lawless, why don't you report it to the official? There is no royal law left. Yang Siyu said like a headless fly.
The family replied, "Throw some filth." ”
"What filth?" Yang Siyu asked, and as soon as the words fell, a group of ruffians with very raw faces came out of the corner of the street, rushed over with paper bags, and threw them towards Yang Yiqing and Yang Siyu. The family shouted and scattered and fled, Yang Yiqing's legs and feet were not as good as back then, so he naturally couldn't dodge, so he was busy holding his head and bearing it with his back.
The paper bag slapped on the body was not a hard thing, and it didn't hurt when it hit, but the paper bag broke instantly, and what was scattered was the big feces in the paper bag. Dung spots and dung soup scattered everywhere, splashing everywhere. The family dodged the flying feces, and quickly picked up the sticks on the ground and rushed out to chase the splash. The splashes were not wooden stakes either, and fled with a sinister smile and foul language.
Yang Yiqing frowned, breathed a long sigh of relief, and walked towards home.
The father and son both had dirty things on their faces, and when they went back, they naturally vomited and washed and changed their clothes. Yang Yi was disgusted, but he didn't hold back the fire in his heart, the more the enemy tried his best to disgust himself, the more it showed their panic. The people don't believe that they will make this decision, they are afraid that they will make such an anxious evil rectification if they make a comeback, and falling into the well means that they can't hold their breath. Thinking of the enemy's anxious turnaround, Yang Yiqing smiled.
In the following days, Yang Yiqing's home would "fly immortals outside the sky" and "land lotus" from time to time, of course, it was not a good thing that fell in the yard. Although Yang Yiqing was not angry, after all, he was old, he was disturbed like this every day, and he couldn't rest well, and his spirit was a little sluggish after a long time. Yang Siyu wanted to ask Yang Yiqing to take a look at Langzhong, but when he saw the strange Langzhong, Yang Yiqing's face changed greatly, and he drove these people away.
Not only that, Yang Yiqing was very careful after returning to his hometown, drinking and eating were personally supervised, and he was often the last to move his chopsticks, in short, he was very cautious all day, which made the slaves in the family courtyard whisper that Yang Yiqing was crazy.
