Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Yang Family's Tribulation
Qi Jingtong was drunk in the fairyland in front of him, and when he was fascinated and fascinated, suddenly a "black bear" broke into this fairyland and ripped this beautiful picture to pieces. The big man who looked like a black bear carried the ox leg and asked the old lady: "Old lady, how to eat this ox leg at noon, I ordered my subordinates to make it." ”
The women were so frightened when they saw the bloody corbel in the hand of the black bear that they hid behind the old lady, and after a while, there was a burst of laughter, as if laughing at the stupidity of the big man. The old lady replied: "I have been practicing for a long time, I have to eat fasting and recite the Buddha, and you should also recite the Buddhist scriptures, and you should not make up and kill evil." Besides, I'm old now, my teeth are not good, and besides, it's easy to accumulate food after eating meat, so I still don't eat it. ”
"That's not good, my third brother said, wine and meat pierce the heart of the Buddha, I listen to this, I think it makes sense. Besides, you are older now, it is right to eat fast and digest, but you also need to match meat and vegetables, I chose a veal leg for you, stewed a little badly, to ensure that you have a comfortable stomach after eating, and you still want to eat after eating, and you will not miss it after the most. The black bear is Xia Dade, said innocently at this time.
Xia Dade saw that the old lady had a sad face, so he said again: "Old lady, if you don't eat, my third brother should say that these maids are not well taken care of, you don't want them to be trained." You also know that my third brother is sometimes super serious, scolding people is very fierce and fierce, people are good people are this dog temper, you can rest assured, the monthly day of eating Zhai House tea and the Cold Food Festival Vegetarian Festival We all remember, the whole hospital accompanies you to eat fast and chant Buddha. It can be regarded as making up for your practice, there are many people in our hospital, and on average, one day a year is enough to help you subsidize. What do you think is good? ”
"You, you, you all say stupid and stupid, I think you are tall and big, honest and honest, but your brain is very smart. O great virtue, do as you wish. But you're going to stay and eat with me, the old lady. The old lady said.
"Alright, it's all right." Xia Dade hurriedly ran away, saw Qi Jingtong and Lu Bing standing there and said hello and said, "I don't dare to let this meat go for a long time." If the blood dries up, it won't taste good, you two talk to the old lady first, and I'll be back in a while. ”
"Second brother, who do you say is the dog temper?" Lu Bing said with a smile.
"Didn't you just coax the old lady?" Xia Dade replied with a smile. Then he ran away quickly.
Qi Jingtong had tears in his eyes. He thought about Lu Bing's kindness to his mother, and also thought about how Lu Bing would give his mother a life of fine clothes and food, but he never thought that Lu Bing would be so attentive that his own son would be ashamed of himself. Mrs. Qi also saw Qi Jingtong, and was suddenly speechless with excitement, her eyes instantly turned red, Qi Jingtong quickly knelt down without stepping forward to pick up her robe, and shed tears before she spoke: "Mother." ”
"Hey. Jingtong, you're back. The old lady stroked Qi Jingtong's cheek and said. No matter how old Qi Jingtong is, in his mother's eyes, he will always be a child, and his eyes will involuntarily moisten.
Qi Jingtong wiped the tears that came out of the corners of his eyes and said, "Mother, it's a child, the child is back, the child is back to see you, are you okay?" ”
"Okay, okay, Bing'er is waiting for me now, don't mention how good, my old problems have also been cured, you have made a good brother, our relatives must remember this kindness." Mrs. Qi said, Qi Jingtong nodded: "Mother, the child has written it down." ”
Lu Bing's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, thinking of his parents who were far away in the capital, they were getting older, but he couldn't be filial piety in front of his parents as a son, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and even at this moment he had the idea of finding an opportunity to return to Beijing to take up a post and reunite with his family. Lu Bing took a deep breath, for fear of crying, and hurriedly interrupted: "What are you crying on a happy day, let's go, old lady, let's have a banquet today, and give Brother Shixian a warm sweep, which can be regarded as welcoming him home." ”
"Okay." The old lady said with a smile.
—————————————————————————————————————
After the banquet, the old lady was carried by the maids for a walk, Lu Bing, Xia Dade and Qi Jingtong made a pot of tea, sat in the courtyard and chatted. The situation in the capital is really as Qi Jingtong said, the wind and rain are rising, Lu Bing chose to escape, and it is correct not to listen to the movements of the capital, otherwise he would have been smoked by the seven orifices of anger. Lu Bing already knew the movements of the capital, but now through Qi Jingtong's few words, Lu Bing was furious, smashed the teacup on the ground, and shouted: "With this faint king, the sky will not destroy the Ming Dynasty, what is the reason!" ”
It turned out that since Lu Bing and others left Beijing, Zhang Xuan and other villains have completely gained power. Zhang Xuan fell into the first place many times, but someone told him that he was a jinshi in three years, and then suddenly became expensive in three years, and then Zhang Xuan decided to get the last time to get fame, and the result was really successful. I have to say that the number of lives is indeed an artifact, and after three years of Zhongjinshi, Yang Tinghe and Zhang Xuan and others entered Beijing, and they really began to become expensive. Zhang Xuan was promoted from the position of the head of the Nanjing Criminal Department to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, which is a five-grade official, and it is not said to be a sudden noble, but this is indeed a promising official position.
The position of bachelor of Hanlin Academy is mostly held by Shu Jishi, Zhang Xuan is obviously not, he is not even a good term in the imperial examination, this is obviously an exceptional promotion, purely stained with the light of a big ceremonial event. The position of the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is equivalent to the emperor's secretary and teacher, and sometimes he also serves as the teacher of the prince of the East Palace, which can be described as a promising future. Therefore, becoming a bachelor of Hanlin Academy is equivalent to the first step of sudden prosperity.
Since ancient times, Guanyin Bodhisattva has to avoid Li Shimin's world character and become Guanyin, let alone Zhang Zhang. This whole day in the court, Zhang Zhang's Xuan and Zhu Houxi's pronunciation are the same, so in order to avoid suspicion, the emperor also specially gave Zhang Xuan a name, Zhang Fujing, the word Maogong.
The name given by the emperor himself made Zhang Xuan even more arrogant. How he is powerful in the court, not to mention that he is like a fish in water for the time being, in terms of fairness, although this person is a bit villainous, but in the early days of his ascension, he was also for the country and the people, and he was a good official, but what he did next made Lu Bing hate the root of his teeth.
At the beginning, those who held a grudge against Yang Ting and the deposition of the New Deal. Ambushed Yang Shen halfway, but was burned to ashes by Lu Bing, who was enchanted, and for a while, the martial artists dared to provoke Yang Shen again. When they arrived at the Shen family's territory, no one dared to offend, so they thought of another plan. Under the guidance of Zhang Xuan, Wang Bangqi, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, joined several people to jointly write a letter and participate in Yang Tinghe, but did not write anything substantial. It's all empty words, and there is a real slander written on it, Yang Tinghe is a traitor!
Zhu Houxi's heart is extremely narrow-minded. He thinks that it is a mistake to spare Yang Tinghe, and Zhu Houxi, who must be avenged, must avenge the revenge of the year, but as the emperor, he can't show it openly. Zhang Xuan and Yang Tinghe fought in the Great Rites Conference, and Yang Tinghe and Zhishi were at this time. If Zhang Xuan participates in the performance again, he will inevitably look a little small-bellied, chicken intestines and personal vendetta of the communiqué. You're going to be laughed at. Therefore, those who participated in the battle about honor and etiquette can't play, otherwise those performances will not be approved by Zhu Houyu in front of Zhu Houxi, so as not to fall into a faint and narrow-minded reputation, and the surface work still needs to be done.
Now that the opportunity has come, Wang Bangqi has not participated in anything, just an ordinary brocade guard, except for the dismissal of redundant officials and raiders, he has contact with him, but if no one deliberately mentions this. The people also did not know what to do. Now Zhu Houxi has the power, and all the rights are in his hands. He wants to deal with Yang Ting and no one can see it, so few people will talk about Wang Bangqi's dismissal.
With Wang Bangqi's participation, there is no need to study the specific content, in short, even if there is an introduction to rectifying Yang Tinghe. So, Zhu Houyu immediately ordered Yang Tinghe to be recalled, and ordered someone to arrest Yang Tinghe's second son, son-in-law, righteous son and other relatives, preparing to give Yang Tinghe a full house to behead no one of them, always seeing Zhu Houhe's ruthlessness.
There is no doubt that Zhang Xuan was behind Wang Bangqi's participation in the performance, but the reason why he did this was because Yang Tinghe had previously dismissed redundant officials, but he didn't think too much about conspiracy politics, and after being fanned by Zhang Zhangqi and others for a while, he decided to become the center of this power conspiracy and revenge.
Wang Bangqi really hated Yang Tinghe, because Yang Tinghe made him change from a thousand households to a hundred households, and not only did not make him grateful, but instead attracted hatred to Yang Tinghe, this is the case with most of the people who participated in the joint concert. Yang Tinghe and his family were imprisoned in this way, and they were still in the edict of Jinyiwei, Wang Zuo and Lu Song intended to help Yang Tinghe, how could this be the emperor's will, and the holy will was difficult to violate, so Yang Tinghe and his righteous son were beaten to death, and announced that they were killed by suicide, and Yang Ting and his second son Yang Dian and son-in-law were also tossed half to death. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi meant a retrial, and when he turned around, he was accused of treason and rebellion against the country, and all of them were copied and beheaded.
Since ancient times, the monarchs have been dark and dark, and there is a haze in the court, but there are upright ministers in any dynasty, and when they are suppressed to the extreme, they will jump out and explode. They may not be able ministers to rule the world, nor are they heroes in troubled times, and they have even been unknown in the court and have done little, but they are people who dare to speak the truth.
Just like at this time, some people in the court couldn't see it, and the Ministry of Rites gave Yang Yan a kick-off in the matter, and he said this: On the day of the court and the traitorous and humiliating power, the artifact will be preserved, and it will be attributed to His Majesty. The edict is drafted, or it is overkill, but the matter is for the country, and there is nothing else in the new one. Now there are few years to go to the country, the son in law is in trouble, the ministers are afraid that from now on, the ministers who protect the whole body are all based on the court and peace, who is the country, and the one who does it.
These words are exquisite, and all the main points of the problem are analyzed, and it is precisely because of Yang Yan's twists and turns that Yang Tinghe saved his life. Yang Yan's meaning is roughly like this, that is, to invite credit for Yang Tinghe, saying that Yang Tinghe was in charge of the Ming Dynasty before Zhu Houxi ascended the throne after the death of the first emperor, and it was precisely because of his credit that the traitorous party did not succeed in usurping power, and you Zhu Houxi became the emperor.
Even if something has been done too much, it is for the sake of the country and the world, and there is no selfishness. Now, Yang Tinghe has just retired, Zhu Houxi will rectify him, and he has also implicated his son and son-in-law. I'm afraid that from today onwards, everyone will be cautious and dare not take responsibility for the sake of protecting themselves, lest they repeat the mistakes of Yang Tinghe. In this way, who is willing to serve the country and is willing to be a thankless bird, the court will have no loyal ministers from now on.
Holding high the banner of justice evoked the response of some officials in the DPRK and China, who not only cried out for Yang Tinghe to fulfill the old relationship, but also for their own benefit and regained a place in the struggle for the emperor's rights.
It sounded that Yang Yan's remarks were righteous and righteous, and it did have some effect, and the emperor saw that everyone was quite excited, so he claimed that he had not interrogated anything, and let Yang Tinghe and others go, and the matter was over like this, and no one dared to pursue the emperor's slander and the accuser's slander.
