Diligent Palace.

Zhao Han flipped through the manuscript casually and asked, "Who is this author, 'Haiyong Sanren'?" ”

Huang Zundu replied in detail: "This person's real name is Shen Lu, and he is a child of the Shen family of the Eight Families of Shangqiu. In his early years, he joined the Haijin Society, and the Haijin Society was once merged into the Fushe. The Shen family was still a military household in the early Ming Dynasty, and one of them moved to Shangqiu, with a few jinshi and dozens of lifters. ”

Zhao Han tapped the manuscript: "The Shen family is really as loyal and brave as written in the book? ”

Huang Zundu replied: "Plausible, patchwork." When Liukou passed by Shangqiu, the Shen family did recruit troops to resist, and dozens of Shen clansmen died. Because he couldn't defeat the Liukou, the Shen family fled with his family, and when the Liukou left, he returned to the village. Later, bandits in Henan were rampant, and the Shen family formed a village to protect themselves, and they also colluded with bandits. The Tartars were killed in Henan, and the Shen family surrendered, and because the land was forcibly occupied by traitor officials, the Shen family began to secretly contact our Datong army. In the Henan War, the Shen family did contribute, but only passed on some information. After recovering Henan, our dynasty did not treat the Shen family lightly, and those who made meritorious contributions were rewarded, and there were more than ten officials at that time. ”

"Are all the loyalists in the book made up?" Zhao Han asked.

Huang Zundu said: "It's all true, but it's not from the Shen family." Shen Lu's house, copied a little of the loyal and brave deeds of other big clans in Henan, and borrowed a little from that one, all of which were compiled in his own home. Moreover, Shen Lu is not the main sect of the Shen family, he is just a branch of the Shen family. His detachment, no one was martyred at all, and in the face of the rogues and Tartars, they either fled or surrendered. Moreover, because the local population has plummeted, most of the land that was divided was deserted. ”

Zhao Han asked again: "This is what he recruited himself?" ”

Huang Zundu said: "It was his friend who confessed. His friend's surname is Ye, who is also from the Shangqiu Eight Family, and is currently wandering around Nanjing, often participating in literary meetings, and often writing some grievance articles. ”

"This book has not been published yet, how many people have read the manuscript?" Zhao Han asked.

Huang Zundu said: "At least twenty or thirty people have read it, and they all think it is well written, and they encourage him to find a bookseller to print it." I found several booksellers, but they didn't dare to print and sell this book, and finally found the serialization of "Confucianism". "Confucianism" has been received, and before it can be serialized, several shareholders have been arrested. ”

"Go down." Zhao Han said.

Huang Zundu bowed and retreated, Zhao Han's face was gloomy, and the female officials and palace maids around him did not dare to speak.

After a long time, Zhao Han sighed: "Is this forcing me to make a literary prison?" ”

Zhao Han suddenly asked Ding Shijing: "What do you think should be done with such shameless people?" ”

Ding Shijing wrote a living note, but he didn't want to get involved, and replied tactfully: "Your Majesty Shengming, you have your own decision." ”

Zhao Han wrote: "Order the Criminal Department to strictly investigate this case. Officials in various localities were instructed to check the published and scripted texts, and to check the operas staged at the Goolan Washe Theater. However, there are those who reverse black and white, but there are those who distort and slander the Datong Army, the mission group, the peasant association, and the officials who divide the fields, and they will all be dealt with strictly! The literati, actors, and businessmen involved will all be dealt with strictly! Those who have the worst impact will be hanged. Secondly, exile! All of them were exiled to Heilongjiang, where there was a shortage of people, and their wives and children were exiled together! ”

This time, Zhao Han was really angry, he wrote too disgustingly, and he tried his best to reverse black and white.

A branch of a large clan that annexed land and exploited tenants became the head of the local noble clan in Li. Seeing the Liukou and the Tartars descending from the wind, they became heroic and martyred in the country, and even the women of the clan committed suicide one after another. put the loyal and brave deeds of other people's families on themselves. He also said that it was a good house, and that he had built bridges and paved roads, and that he had helped countless victims. All fucking fart!

He also insinuated and smeared the officials who divided the fields, turning the people's aspirations upside down and boiling the people's grievances.

Even if it is expanded this time and used by local officials to avenge personal revenge, Zhao Han will have to investigate it nationwide. If this trend is not stopped, in the long run, the foundation of the country will be completely ruined!

……

The emperor was angry, and the world was boiling.

The first thing to boil was Nanjing, where the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Rites, the State Security Yuan, and the Jinling Mansion, together with their subordinate officials, seconded the police force to conduct a comprehensive investigation inside and outside Nanjing.

The key targets of the investigation are bookstores, theaters, green buildings and painting boats.

"Wronged, I really didn't write that book, I just asked someone to copy it!"

"I wrote the words, but the proprietor of the theater asked someone to change them. The two scenes that slandered the court were all the ideas of the owner, and I really didn't write them! ”

"Spare your life, sir, I won't write it again!"

“……”

Literati are arrested every day, and opera actors, famous prostitutes in Qinglou, and theater owners are also arrested.

Many people feel innocent, such as opera actors, who have acted in a few problematic plays, but have also been arrested by the government. Their crime is simple: disseminating prohibited works and failing to report them. Some famous prostitutes in Qinglou also did not report their knowledge, and the guests they received often gathered to criticize Tian Zheng. Even, a famous prostitute also played a small song criticizing Tian Zheng.

Qian Qianyi lifted the sedan curtain and looked at the oncoming team of officials, escorting more than a dozen men and women who were tied up. He couldn't help but sigh: "Why bother, the fields are divided, so I have to write an article to complain." What's the use of whining? Can we still get the property back? His Majesty endured it long enough, and he actually waited until this year to do it. ”

In half a month, more than 700 people were arrested inside and outside Nanjing alone.

There must be wronged, but it is not completely wronged, and it is somewhat related to the criticism of Tian Zheng.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed to Qian Qianyi's sedan chair and knelt down: "Shepherd, please save my master!" ”

Qian Qianyi was a little surprised: "Wu Meicun was also arrested? ”

"I was just taken away this morning, begging the shepherd, and enter the palace to say a few good words for my master." The man lay on the ground and kowtowed frantically.

Qian Qianyi said: "I will look for opportunities to help, but this matter is quite big, and it may not be able to help." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" The man continued to kowtow.

Qian Qianyi asked the palanquin man to move on, but the man kept following, obviously urging him to enter the palace to face the saint.

Qian Qianyi was a little impatient, so he said to the palanquin man: "Go to the Forbidden City!" ”

The goods waited outside the palace for a long time, and finally got summoned.

Zhao Han continued to review the chapter, too lazy to look at it, and asked, "Who are you here to intercede?" ”

Qian Qianyi shrank his neck and said: "The people who were arrested are all to blame, how can the minister intercede for these people?" The minister asked to see him today to tell His Majesty. The chronicles and tables of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" have been compiled, when will they be sent to His Majesty for review? ”

"I'll have someone bring it tomorrow." Zhao Han said.

Qian Qianyi immediately retired and did not dare to stay longer.

After leaving the palace, he said to Wu Weiye's servant: "I have advised Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is noncommittal, you should go home and wait for news." ”

The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed again: "Thank you for your help!" ”

Another day, Zhu Shunshui entered the palace to face the saint, but he really came to intercede with Wu Weiye.

Zhu Shunshui said: "Your Majesty, Wu Weiye only writes poems, not scripts. And Wu Weiye's poems, although there is a suspicion of nostalgia for the former Ming Dynasty, did not criticize the new dynasty Tian Zheng. Those who arrest people are really nonsense. Your Majesty, like Wu Weiye, there are not a few people who have been arrested. Please also ...... Please also ask Your Majesty not to raise a big prison. There are many wronged people in Nanjing, and when they go to the provinces and localities, I am afraid that there are thousands, even tens of thousands, of wronged people! ”

Zhao Han glanced at Zhu Shunshui, and his old friend gave him a face: "If Wu Weiye is really fine, he can be released." As for the nationwide investigation, if we can't stop it, there will be thousands of wronged people, and this matter must be investigated to the end! If Qing persuaded again, he would exile Wu Weiye to Heilongjiang. Of course, I'm not a tyrant. Only his wife and children were implicated in this case, and they were exiled to Heilongjiang. It does not implicate parents, let alone clansmen and friends. ”

Zhu Shunshui had no choice but to shut up, sighed, and silently withdrew from the hall.

A few days later, Wu Weiye was indeed proven innocent, and did not write poems and articles criticizing Tian Zheng.

But there is also a reason why he was arrested, in his poetry works, he often longs for the previous dynasty, and faintly reveals his dissatisfaction with the new dynasty. Zhao Han can tolerate this situation, as long as he doesn't splash dirty water upside down.

After Wu Weiye was released, he learned from the servant that it was Qian Qianyi who entered the palace to help him intercede. After being moved, he prepared gifts to visit: "Thank you for your help!" ”

Qian Qianyi didn't explain, but took Wu Weiye's hand seriously: "Meicun, when today's son is a saint, Chongzhen is a mediocre person." Even if you don't praise the prosperity of the new dynasty, don't write poems and think about the former dynasty! ”

Wu Weiye said: "The person I admire is not the faint monarch Chongzhen, but the three-hundred-year-old society of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Confused," Qian Qianyi reprimanded, "Now the people live and work in peace and contentment, the general has won a hundred battles, and the new dynasty of Datong has chased after the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties." What is there to miss about the decaying and weak Ming? If you miss the old dynasty, it is better to praise the new dynasty. ”

In the face of his "life-saving benefactor", Wu Weiye was not easy to refute, and only said: "The shepherd has learned a lesson." ”

Qian Qianyi put on a high posture: "Since ancient times, there is no one more benevolent than Your Majesty." Even if he insulted the Son of Heaven, he was only whipped the first time, and he was imprisoned for the second time and exiled for the third time. When you encounter such a benevolent monarch, you should swear to serve the court to the death, and you can't bear to criticize it? In my opinion, Your Majesty is right to arrest people, and traitors should be arrested! Kill a few more, exile a few more, and be in the right direction! ”

After some echoing, Wu Weiye retired and walked to the street in despair.

The arrest operation continued, and only two streets away, Wu Weiye saw that someone had been arrested again.

Harem.

Liu Ru was loudly reprimanding the palace maid: "You have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you dare to ask me to intercede for others." Do you know what it means when I intercede? Someone bribed the guards and palace maids and handed the words to the harem! I don't know how many palace people have been implicated! ”

The palace maid trembled with fright: "Niangniang, is it...... It's a sister of mine, and she's on an errand outside (outside the harem, inside the Forbidden City). When she went out of the Forbidden City to run errands, she was entrusted by a relative......"

"Don't say any more," Liu admonished, "don't say a word about it, and if you take the money, return it at once!" ”

The palace people in the Forbidden City, no matter which dynasty, will definitely come into contact with the outside, and this time someone really stuffed money into the Forbidden City.

Even a few who wrote living notes, because they often saw the emperor, were asked for help by various stuffed silver.

Except for Zhu Shunshui, no one dared to talk much.

Although Wu Weiye was acquitted and famously ventured into Xinjiang, he was written in real writing poems to allude to Tian Zheng. Due to the large number of people arrested, the case was judged quickly, and Mao Bijiang took his wife and concubines and children, and was collectively exiled to Heilongjiang for the people, and he paid for the food all the way.

Of course, these exiles will not be deliberately troubled, because there is a shortage of Han people in Heilongjiang. In the past, it was possible to divide the fields and settle down, but the weather was very cold, and I am afraid that many people would get sick.

This case has spread all over the country, and it also implicates wives and children, and it is estimated that the number of exiles will exceed 10,000.

Even the three of "Confucian Fun" were sentenced to exile in Heilongjiang because they accepted the banned manuscript and were obviously ready to publish it. This is obviously not legal, because they have not yet published it, and they cannot say that "attempted murder" is treated as a murderer.

But if you do something special, you will be exiled!

was pushed to board the boat, Zhai Wenben wanted to cry without tears, and said to Zhang Tianzhi beside him: "Brother Zhang, I was miserable by you, what did you do with that manuscript?" ”

Zhang Tianzhi was depressed and didn't bother to defend.

There were not just three of them on the ship, but more than 200 people with their families in tow, and this was only the first batch of exiles.

Soon someone recognized them, and they glared at each other angrily.

It was these three guys, fooling around, that angered the emperor to raise a prison. It's a pity that they are all cultural people, and all of them are from big clans, so they don't know how to farm at all, let alone farm in the cold and remote Heilongjiang!

If it weren't for the small population of Heilongjiang, the Andong Protectorate would definitely prepare enough food and clothing for them in order to enrich the Han people, then, if these guys were exiled, at least half of them would freeze to death and starve to death!

This is the first time since Zhao Han ascended the throne that he has been unreasonable and arbitrarily judged.

The emperor owns the world, holds the power in his hands, and takes life and death, which cannot be restrained at all times. Zhao Han thought that he was already very restrained, but someone always forced him to mess around.
