Chapter 444: I Have Selfish Intentions Too
The two were quickly escorted to the execution ground.
The executioner untied their captives, then pressed their heads and put them on a chopping board to be slaughtered.
There was a hint of despair in his wife's eyes.
In his son's eyes, there was still a clear and high spirit, even if he died, he didn't say a word, as if he wanted to give Fan Qiu a breath.
The people in the audience became even more agitated.
"What's going on?"
"Why is it not a corrupt official today, but a woman and a teenager?"
"This young man looks quite quiet, what crime has he committed?"
The people were curious.
A businessman who is in the know is very rich, and he stood up and talked eloquently.
"These two, one is the wife of Fan Qiu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and the other is his son, it is said that they are both corrupt and pervert the law, oppress the people, and behead well!"
"A few years ago, I used to want to make a name for my son, begging for his door, and he drove me out directly, and now his wife and children are going to be beheaded, I have to open my eyes and see."
Hallym Temple's?
Hearing the three words of Hanlin Academy, the onlookers suddenly thought of Xu Lao, Yu Xuekui and other big figures who were loyal to the country.
Hanlin Yuan, in the hearts of the people, is a clear stream institution, and there will be no corrupt officials in it.
Moreover, they also know a little about the ban on opening the sea.
"It turned out to be the wife and son of the scholar of the Hanlin Academy, how could they be corrupt and pervert the law?"
"I don't believe it, there may be a misunderstanding here."
"Yes, Old Xu, Master Yu, they are all great Confucians of the Hanlin Academy, I don't believe that the Hanlin Academy will produce people who are corrupt and pervert the law."
There is something wrong with the mood of the people.
At first, they were still in the mood of watching the excitement, but after hearing about it, they began to be a little restless.
If it was really a wrongful killing, the hearts of the people would not be happy.
"The adults on the stage, can you kill them again after the trial is clear?"
"How could the family members of the scholars of the Hanlin Academy do such a thing?"
The people were shouting, expressing their demands to the court and their feelings of wanting to save the wife and children.
On the execution ground, Fan Qiu's wife heard these voices, tears welled up in her eyes, and she could only hear her muttering: "It's worth ......"
Fan Qiu's son also burst into tears, because he saw that justice was in the hearts of the people, not in the court!
He saw that the people his father loved and cared for, and they were all interceding for them!
Isn't this a feeling of being recognized?
Even if they die, they are not afraid.
Not far away, three more people squeezed in.
These three people are Yang Shiqi, Jian Yi, and Xia Yuanji.
The three bigwigs traveled in plain clothes, Jian Yi deliberately let Yang Shiqi and Xia Yuanji squeeze in the front, and he followed behind, without squeezing, he went in directly.
When he was squeezed to the front, Yang Shiqi had already squeezed out two of his beards, and after he found out, the cabinet minister suddenly jumped to his feet.
"I finally grew a few beards, and I was squeezed out of two more, which is really ......"
Yang Shiqi touched his beard distressedly, with a painful expression on his face.
Jian Yi followed behind, easily squeezed in, and smiled: "What do you want a beard for?" It's better to unplug it cleanly. ”
Yang Shiqi frowned: "If you don't have a beard, isn't it a cream student?" ”
Jian Yi smiled, then looked at the execution ground, listening to the reactions of the people around him.
When he heard that the people around him were pleading for Fan Qiu's wife and children, Jian Yi's face showed a trace of emotion: "The eyes of the people are bright. ”
"Fan Qiu is not sorry for all beings in the world, and all beings in the world are not sorry for her."
"To be able to win such a reputation is enough in this life."
Yang Shiqi touched a few whiskers and nodded.
Xia Yuanji said: "How to save it?" ”
A dark smile flashed in Jian Yi's eyes: "I am the secretary of the ministry, and Lord Xia is the secretary of the household department, and I have no right to manage the affairs of the criminal department." ”
"Therefore, I can only bother Lord Yang to come forward."
Yang Shiqi frowned and said, "I can come forward, but you two don't take the slightest responsibility?" ”
Jian Yiyi said righteously: "Share the blessings and share the difficulties, and when the time comes, we will accompany you to the palace to ask for sin." ”
Natsuhara nodded in agreement.
Yang Shiqi felt comfortable in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
So, after the three of them agreed, they stood at the bottom of the execution ground and waited with peace of mind.
When it was time for the execution, Yang Shiqi came forward again and saved the wife and children, and it was done.
……
Today is the day of execution.
Fan Qiu came to the Hanlin Academy as usual and gathered all the scholars, compilers, scholars, and Confucians.
Gathering them together, Fan Qiu looked at them with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"I know that your family members have been more or less framed by the people in the Six Branches."
"But you still haven't given up."
"I'm here, for Elder Xu, Scholar Yu, I salute you."
After saying that, Fan Qiu bowed down and saluted everyone in the Hanlin Academy.
Fang Chengyuan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Fan Qiu up.
The eyes of all the people in the Hanlin Academy also surged with a strange light.
Fan Qiu looked at everyone and continued: "Now, the imperial court still does not agree to the policy of opening the sea and banning, even if our family members are arrested, we will continue to fight. ”
"His Royal Highness Taisun not only told us about the benefits of opening the sea ban, but even Elder Xu and Scholar Yu have heard about it."
"In this matter, we must carry her through to the end and never let up."
"Da Ming, you need to be strong, the old, not suitable for Da Ming, should be abandoned!"
Taking a deep breath, Fan Qiu's gaze swept over everyone present, and then said in a deep voice: "I am a Jinshi in the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, and I have held several positions all over the country, and I have witnessed the suffering of the people. ”
"In the Hanlin Academy, elect another representative and continue to practice this."
"Unless ......"
When Fan Qiu said this, there was obviously a little low in his tone, which was also the last thing he wanted to see.
Raising his head, he looked at everyone firmly: "Unless, everyone in the Hanlin Academy is dead!" ”
Fang Chengyuan, Chen Xun and other people in the Hanlin Academy were shocked.
Then, they bowed deeply to Fan Qiu and bowed: "Okay." ”
Seeing everyone saluting, Fan Qiu smiled and said bitterly: "Actually, I don't have the same mind as Mr. Xu and Mr. Yu, I am a human being, and if I am a human being, I will have selfishness." ”
"The opening of the sea ban, in addition to the people of the world, is also because the books I have read in the past few decades have not been read in vain, and the official robe I am wearing is not in vain."
"When you are born, you can't do nothing, you have to do something big......"
Like a salted fish, what kind of dreams can we talk about?
People who have no pursuits and no dreams are just a walking corpse and live a repetitive life every day.
Once a person has a noble pursuit, he will have the motivation to work hard every day, even if he can't see hope, but he is also satisfied, isn't it?
At this moment, Fan Qiu's eyes were extremely firm.
The eyes of everyone in the Hanlin Academy and Fan Qiu were also very firm!
