The Jinghai Navy sergeants escorted the prisoner car, and many literati around them naturally looked bad, and such a large team entered the capital, which also attracted the attention of many people in the capital.

Although it is said that in the past few years, there have been major incidents in the capital one after another, and even an incident of beheading thousands of people has occurred, but this time hundreds of people were taken into the capital at once, which still caused quite a stir.

Especially after the identity of the Zhu family was spread, the people who originally came to watch showed strange looks one by one.

As the saying goes, everything is inferior only to read high, this sentence is almost imprinted in the bones, and in everyone's minds on weekdays, as a reader, it is definitely a noble existence.

It's okay not to know the origin of the Zhu family, but after knowing the origin of the Zhu family, the eyes of these people looking at the Zhu family will become different.

Some people gloat, others sympathize, and some regret.

"I heard that these people are descendants of sages, and all of them are great masters......

"Hmph, even if it's a descendant of a sage, who let them offend the head of Chu, it's not that they will end up destroying their families!"

Because there had already been the instructions of the Son of Heaven before, after the people of the Zhu clan were escorted to Beijing, they were immediately put into the prison of the Criminal Department and strictly guarded.

As the commander of the Jing Navy, Cheng Xiangwu went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War to report, and then left the Beijing Division and stationed in the military camp outside the capital.

Cheng Xiangwu was not stationed in the capital, which made some people secretly relieved.

In a poetry society, dozens of literati gathered in everything, don't look at only a few dozen people, but these people are definitely representative figures among the literati in Beijing.

The most important thing is that these people can be said to be all from the line of Confucianism, and even many of them are one of the hundred officials.

However, at this moment, these people gathered here one by one, and among them, an old man with a wrinkled face and a beard sat there, and said with a little anger: "Ridiculous, really ridiculous, Your Majesty actually connived at Chu Yi to take down the Zhu family, that is the descendant of the sage......"

Although he had already received the news that the Zhu family was taken down by Chu Yi, he really saw the scene when the Zhu family was taken into the prison, which still touched the nerves of many scholars who were in the line of science.

These dozens of people had different expressions, and several of them had a bit of relaxation in their expressions, and if they looked closely, they could even see the disdain flowing in the depths of their eyes, obviously quite disdainful of the old man's reaction.

Liu Rinai is a Confucian figure in the line of science, and it can be said that among the people present, when it comes to fame and qualifications, there are really few people who can compare with him. It's just that Liu Li is an old qualification, although he said that he was a scholar in his early years, he still has connections in the DPRK, otherwise, it would be impossible to invite so many people at once.

Glancing at the crowd, Liu Li snorted coldly, pointed at one of the officials and said, "Chen Kang, tell me, are you going to watch the descendants of the sages being humiliated like traitors like this?" This is a slap in the face of our science......"

Chen Kang smiled bitterly, if it was someone else who dared to point at him like this and accuse him like a grandson, even if it was a cabinet elder, he Chen Kang would definitely not agree.

But who let him point at him at this time and scold him bitterly, so even if Liu Li scolded him, he could only listen, otherwise, it would be a great crime of unfilial piety.

When Liu Li stopped, Chen Kang looked around with a wry smile and glanced at the people who were looking at him with sympathy, stepped forward and said to Liu Li: "Teacher, it's not that we sit back and watch the Zhu family, it's really the Zhu family who has committed His Majesty's taboo, and Zhu Han, a descendant of the Zhu family, stabbed the Son of Heaven, which is a great unforgivable sin!" ”

Liu Li sneered and said: "There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, the Son of Heaven said that Zhu Han was assassinated, who saw it, anyway, the old man didn't see it!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Li with a wry smile, Zhu Hanxing stabbed the Son of Heaven This is a fact, which was witnessed by no less than dozens of people at the beginning, and it couldn't be washed at all.

Liu Li looked at everyone's reactions, and snorted coldly: "Don't forget, if the Zhu clan is destroyed, there is no such banner, and then the line of science will inevitably be torn apart, and what the consequences will be at that time, you should know better than the old man." ”

Everyone was silent, and the internal struggle of Confucianism was extremely tragic, even when the first line of science first appeared, in fact, it was a small branch within Confucianism, and it did not have the current influence at all, but after hundreds of years of development, it has become the mainstream of Confucianism.

But this does not mean that there are no other factions within Confucianism, for example, Wang Yangming's creation of the study of mind, although it was said that there was no great success, but it has faintly taken shape, and the mind led by Wang Yangming is already well-known in a small area.

On the basis of the original history, Wang Yangming learned greatly, and had the merit of pacifying the rebellion of King Ning, but in the court, he was rejected and suppressed by Yang Tinghe and others, and he was not allowed to display his talents.

It can be said that Yang Tinghe is a representative figure of Confucianism, and Wang Yangming pioneered the study of mind and is a generation of sages, which is naturally not tolerated by Yang Tinghe.

There are many branches within Confucianism, but at present, the school of science does occupy the mainstream, and as long as the banner of science does not fall, then these people can be shaded by the line of science.

After all, there are not many people who care about the life and death of the Zhu clan, if it weren't for the extraordinary significance of the existence of the Zhu clan, it wouldn't have allowed them to gather here.

Chen Kang took a deep breath and saluted Liu Li: "Teacher, although rest assured, now that Your Majesty is unconscious, without Your Majesty's permission, the case of the Zhu family will not be able to make a final decision, and we can also find a way to see if we can exonerate the Zhu family." ”

Flicking his sleeves, Liu Li glared at the crowd and said, "The old man is going to see the patriarch of the Zhu clan!" ”

Everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, Liu Li's request may be very difficult for others, but it couldn't be simpler for them.

At least one of them is an official of the Criminal Department, although it is said that he does not directly govern the prison of the Criminal Department, but if he wants Liu Li to enter the prison of the Criminal Department to meet the people of the Zhu family, there is really no problem.

In the gloomy prison, the people of the Zhu family, who had experienced ups and downs along the way, could breathe a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether they live or die in the future, at least they will not have to be imprisoned in a prison car all day long, exposed to the wind and sun, and they can be said to have never suffered such suffering in their lives, and some of them even lost their lives because they could not bear the ups and downs along the way.

Originally, there were hundreds of people, but from the southeast coast, they rushed all the way to Beijing, and as a result, more than a dozen people died along the way.

As the patriarch of the Zhu clan, Zhu Ye has long lost the calmness and elegance of the past, and the wind and sun along the way made Zhu Ye look extremely embarrassed.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Zhu Ye, who was lying in the thatched pile against the wall, heard the footsteps and seemed to stop outside his cell, and then the sound of the key opening the lock sounded, and Zhu Ye couldn't help but turn around and sit up and look towards the cell door.

At a glance, Zhu Ye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, staring at the person who came, as if he was discerning the other party.

Liu Li walked into the cell with a food box in his hand, saw Zhu Ye, and suddenly saw Zhu Ye, Liu Li couldn't help but shrink his eyes, if he didn't know that the other party was Zhu Ye, Liu Li wouldn't dare to recognize each other.

I only heard Zhu Ye's eyes light up and said, "Mr. Liu Li, it's you!" ”

Obviously, Zhu Ye recognized Liu Lilai, Liu Li sighed slightly, stepped forward to put down the food box, and regardless of whether the ground was clean or not, he sat cross-legged and said to Zhu Ye: "Brother Zhu Ye, I haven't seen you for many years, and I never thought that the day you and I would see each other again, it would be in such an environment." ”

Zhu Ye and Liu Li can also be regarded as best friends in the past, but Zhu Ye is located in Jianyang County, and Liu Li has entered the officialdom, even after Zhishi, he has lived in Beijing for a long time, if you do the math, the two have not seen each other for nearly 20 years.

Zhu Ye lifted his messy hair, revealing his weather-beaten face, looked at Liu Li and sighed softly: "I never thought that my Zhu family would end up in such a field, making Zhu so embarrassed in front of Brother Liu!" ”

Liu Li slowly opened the food box, took out the prepared wine and food one by one, and then set it up, personally poured a glass of wine for Zhu Ye, looked at Zhu Ye and said: "The traitorous ministers in the court, the son of heaven is mediocre, and he favors the eunuchs, which actually made the Zhu family have this catastrophe. ”

Zhu Ye drank a glass of wine with Liu Li, put the wine glass down, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face: "Brother Liu is kind, Zhu has a heart, but the eunuch has already made up his mind to put my Zhu family to death, but I am afraid that no matter how much Brother Liu runs, the Son of Heaven will not spare my Zhu family!" ”

Liu Li frowned and said: "It's man-made, if Your Majesty refuses to forgive the Zhu family, then the old man will contact the world's scholars and study the Son of Heaven together, the old man doesn't believe it, can the Son of Heaven ignore the wishes of the world's scholars?" ”

Zhu Ye, who had no hope in his heart, couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and said with a tight breath: "If that's the case, my Zhu family still has a glimmer of life, but it's just ......"

Liu Li smiled slightly and said: "I have known the virtuous brother for half my life, this time the virtuous brother is in trouble, how can the old man be able to watch, besides, the eunuch Chu Yi is not just to deal with the Zhu family, but to cut off the root of my science, the old man will definitely not allow the eunuch to succeed." ”
