132 Headwind Turnaround (2-in-1 Lengthening)

Seeing this team of soldiers and horses coming, the Jinyi guards on the scene immediately stood up, you must know that Xiucai rebelled, and it would not be successful for ten years.

And the all-armored sergeant wants to do something, but the flying fish suit can't bear the swords and guns without eyes!

"Who is coming, trespassing on the execution site, is it preparing to rebel?"

The commander Qianhu shouted nervously, and subconsciously put his hand on the handle of the embroidered spring knife.

"I am the Jingwei to pacify Li Da, and I have the responsibility of guarding the Jingshi, and I came to patrol when I saw the turmoil of the crowd here, so why do I rebel?"

Hearing that the other party was Jingwei, barely able to be called his own person in the Jingshi Wei system, he was relieved to receive the order of Qianhu.

"This is the important place for Jinyiwei to handle the case, if there is nothing to do, leave quickly!"

"Of course there is something, I suspect that you lynched the scholars who did not remove their reputations!"

"Are you picking on the brocade guard?"

The face of the leader Qianhu instantly turned gloomy, and this Li Da was obviously not a good person. Plus that Mr., could it be that he is also a student of this middle-aged juzi?

"Li Da!"

Seeing that Li Da was still planning to continue to be tough, Shen Yichen shouted and shook his head at him.

Jingwei is nominally known as the commander of the Jingshi Guard, but in fact, his status is not as good as Jinyiwei, not to mention that the other party has Wang Zhendang as a backer behind him.

As a literati, he has a meritorious reputation, and he still has something to take into account on the other side, and in the face of Li Da, who is also a martial artist, he will definitely not show mercy, and the crime is even more serious.

People are under the eaves, and when it is time to bow their heads, they should bow their heads.

Seeing Shen Yichen's actions, Li Da gritted his teeth and swallowed this breath, then walked to Li Tingxiu's side and said, "Sir, the students are late. ”

"Are you alright, sir?"

"Sir, don't worry, we're here!"

The disciples of the other outer courtyard schools also gathered around to inquire about Li Tingxiu's situation.

"It's okay to be a teacher, it's okay to ......"

Li Tingxiu choked and nodded, and at the same time, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist. He himself never imagined that this group of students, who were once stubborn and often trained, would one day be able to rush over to rescue him so heroically.

In fact, Li Tingxiu underestimated the influence of his words and deeds, you must know that the family school in the outer courtyard of the Chengguo Mansion has changed several school teachers. Most of the others taught for a year and a half, and at least three or five months before they resigned to Chengguogong.

Li Tingxiu is the only one, no matter what situation he has faced in the past few years, he has never chosen to give up on any student.

Even if Li Tingxiu was strict at that time, he was dissatisfied with many students, and I wish that this gentleman would quickly resign and change to a relaxed discipline. But when they left the ivory tower of the home school, they gradually understood that this kind of teacher was the real way to carry the Tao in writing!

It can even be said that if there is no restraint and strictness from Li Tingxiu, the vast majority of the second generation of officials in the outer courtyard will rely on the power of the family and become villains who bully men and women, instead of being as enterprising as they are now.

"Li Da, you and Zhao Hongjie will take care of Mr. together, I will go to the palace gate to calm the matter."

"Why do you want to go up?"

Li Da only learned from the mouth of the bystanders that Shen Yichen and Mr. were in crisis, so he hurriedly brought someone over, and he didn't know what he was going to do.

As a native of Jingweizhong, he naturally knows who is standing behind the case of Guozijian, isn't it equivalent to slapping Wang Zhen in the face if he is rehabilitated?

"I'll talk to you again when I have time, take care of Mr.!"

Shen Yichen didn't say much, it was noon now, and he would have to spend the night as soon as the palace gate was closed.

At night in the Jingshi during the Xiaoice River period of the Ming Dynasty, the temperature could really easily reach the point of freezing to death, and he had to race against time to let the emperor know the situation and pardon Li Shimian.

"Okay, there is a promising brother, don't worry!"

After that, Li Da looked at Zhao Hongjie, his eyes were full of sorrow and anger!

After the instructions, Shen Yichen walked towards the crowd with his head held high, even if the essence of the matter of signing Shangshu was to take advantage of the situation, but in the eyes of the vast majority of literati, it was righteous and awe-inspiring to be able to stand up against Wang Zhen.

I saw Shen Yichen walking all the way, and the literati retreated to both sides like a stream of water that had been separated, and people kept saluting him.

"Shen Xie Yuan's righteousness!"

"Contemptible people are willing to follow Shen Jieyuan's joint name, I am not alone!"

"The correct name of the Da Si clan depends on Shen Jieyuan."

"Everyone, let's take the lead with Xie Yuanlang!"

With shouts, Shen Yichen was followed by thousands of scholars under the pressure of black, and walked towards the palace gate like swallowing mountains and rivers.

At this moment, Shen Yichen became the leader of the young scholars of the Ming Dynasty!

In the Chengguo Mansion, Zhu Yong was dealing with military affairs in the study, and Steward Wu walked in quickly in a little panic at this time, and even forgot the etiquette of knocking on the door and asking.

"Steward Wu, you are also an old man in the Gongfu, when did you not understand the rules?"

Suddenly disturbed by Steward Wu, Zhu Yong showed a displeased look on his face, and opened his mouth to admonish.

"It's the old slave who has overstepped the rules, but the matter is urgent, and I hope that the grandfather will make a decision!"

"What?"

Zhu Yong also knew that Steward Wu had been in the mansion for many years, and he was not an impatient person, so there must be something important to tell him in this state today.

"Shen Gongzi is leading the students of Guozijian, as well as the children from all over the Ming Dynasty who went to Beijing to take the exam, and went to the palace gate to knock together, and will also sign the name!"

"What?"

Zhu Yong put down the file in his hand in surprise, then stood up and asked, "What is he going to do?" ”

"Sue the prince and return the wine to the prince to clear his innocence."

Hearing this, Cheng Guogong stood in place, Shen Yichen is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or is he crazy, doesn't he know Wang Zhen's current power?

"Really?"

Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong still couldn't believe it, now that he has a lot of communication with Shen Yichen, he understands that this kid is definitely not a reckless person, and he can even be said to have a strong strategy, how could he make such a stupid move?

"It's true, Shen Gongzi is afraid that he has arrived at the gate of the palace at present."

"Help me bring the court clothes, my father wants to enter the palace to face the saint!"

After being confirmed, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, quickly made a decision, he had to mediate in this matter, otherwise Shen Yichen would have unimaginable consequences.

"Grandpa, the carriage of court clothes is ready, and you can enter the palace at any time."

As soon as he got the news, Steward Wu had already arranged for someone to prepare, and he knew that Cheng Guogong would never give up Shen Yichen, and he would inevitably enter the palace as a guarantor.

"Okay."

Zhu Yong didn't say a word, and strode towards the outside of the study.

He had to hurry up and help Shen Yichen resolve this crisis before Wang Zhenjin became a saint.

Outside the Chengtian Gate of the Forbidden City, thousands of scholars fell to their knees in black pressure, in stark contrast to the white snow.

Shen Yichen bowed his head to the front at the moment, and the Shangshu he wrote and signed had been handed over to the officials of the General Administration Department to send to the palace, and now he only had to wait quietly for the ruling of the Son of Heaven.

Shen Yichen did not let anyone co-sign this letter, and he didn't even let others know the content, and the reason given was that he was willing to bear the consequences alone and didn't want to affect others.

Such a righteous act is even more admired by the literati who knock on the que, which can be called an iron backbone!

It's just that the content of this letter may be completely different from what the scholars present thought.

There is no accusation of Wang Zhen framing or fabricating charges in Shangshu, and there are even few words to help Li Shimian cry out for injustice. There is only one core content, that is, Shen Yichen is willing to be punished as a disciple and asks to replace Li Shimian.

Yes, that's right, Shen Yichen was only punished in place of Li Shimian!

Feng Zichu's use of the situation is very good, and if anyone is in Shen Yichen's position, he will inevitably offend Wang Zhen and fall into a dead end!

Even if Shen Yichen can rely on the momentary momentum and the identity of the son of Chengguo Gong, Wang Zhen can temporarily endure it. After waiting for the limelight to pass, with his character of retribution, he will definitely not give up.

But it's a pity that Shen Yichen is hanging!

The final outcome of the Li Shimian incident in history was a student named Shi Dayong, who was willing to be punished on behalf of his teacher.

After the presentation of this recital, which is full of the dignity of the teacher and the friendship between teachers and students, there are results that no one expected. That is, Wang Zhen was ashamed after seeing it, and did not pursue revenge on Shi Dayong, but made him famous as a Jingshi!

The real operating rules of this era are not how high and powerful and sharp they are.

It's about whether you can control the Great Dao, just like the reason why Shen Yichen grasped the Confucian golden mean in his imperial examination article.

The dignity of the teacher is also one of the avenues of Confucianism. Wang Zhenneng stood out among the eunuch group because he used to be a scholar, and before entering the palace, in order to support his family, he also served as a private school teacher.

Shi Dayong's sparseness has hit the identity of a teacher buried deep in Wang Zhen's heart, and he will inevitably subconsciously maintain the avenue of dignity of the teacher.

Now Shen Yichen will use this letter to make a big gamble to see if he is in a dead end, or if he turns the tables against the wind!

The layout of Shen Yichen and Feng Zichu's strategy is actually far beyond their own ability, this is a war between the "general trend" and the "Great Dao"!

The cold wind is cold, a carriage gallops from a distance, and from the gold and silver embroidered ribbons on the body, it can be concluded that the driver and passengers are either rich or noble, and they are important ministers in the court.

It's just that as he got closer and closer to the palace gate, Shen Yichen saw clearly the number plate of the Chengguo Mansion hanging on the front of the car, and his heart jumped violently, could it be that Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, is here?

This doubt did not last long, and when the carriage stopped, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, who was wearing a vermilion unicorn uniform, appeared in front of Shen Yichen.

After Zhu Yong got out of the carriage, he did not enter the palace gate directly, but stood on the spot and looked at Shen Yichen with a complicated expression.

At the same time, Shen Yichen also looked at Cheng Guogong with mixed feelings in his heart.

To be honest, Shen Yichen never thought that Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, would appear, because his current actions were in the eyes of the outside world to offend Wang Zhen, so he was afraid to avoid it.

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, can be called a cold-blooded and ruthless reason, and the best way to deal with it at this time is to cut himself off. Anyway, a servant son who has not entered the genealogy cannot really be counted as a person in the mansion of the country, and it is not worth standing on the opposite side of Wang Zhen for it.

But Zhu Yong finally came.

People are like this, if the other party is ruthless and cold-blooded to the end, but there are not so many complex emotions and thoughts, just act in accordance with the principle of interests first.

Once there are emotions other than interests, then it will become indecisive.

The gaze of the eyes was only for a moment, and Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, turned around and walked into the palace gate, leaving Shen Yichen with a tall back.

Just when the figure of Cheng Guogong disappeared in the long door hole, another carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and from the number plate of Huichangbofu hanging at the front of the car, you can know that this is the driving of his relative Huichangbo Sun Zhong.

The door curtain of the carriage was opened, and Sun Zhong, the uncle of Huichang, and his second son, Sun Shaozong, got out of the carriage together.

It's just that they didn't enter the palace gate immediately, on the contrary, Sun Shaozong walked step by step in front of the knocking scholar, and said with a righteous face: "Colleagues, Sun Shaozong, the son of Changbo, is in the next place!" ”

"Today, I heard that the Great Si Clan was tortured by the Dutch School, as a student of the Sixth Hall, how can I watch the Grandmaster being humiliated?"

"In the next place, I will enter the palace with my father to meet the Queen Mother, and I will do my best to speak up and correct the name of the Dasi clan!"

Sun Shaozong's righteous and heroic speech immediately made many scholars present excited, Hui Changbo is the father of the queen mother, and the success rate of saving Li Shimian will be greatly improved if he comes forward!

"Brother Sun's move is really a send-off!"

"Brother Sun's heroic spirit lasts forever, and he should be a model for my generation!"

"Today's noble and righteous deeds of Brother Sun will not be forgotten in the future, and the literati should be like this!"

All kinds of voices of gratitude and admiration came from all directions, Sun Shaozong not only risked offending Wang Zhen, but also pulled Huichangbo in, which was enough to make people moved.

Listening to all kinds of compliments, Sun Shaozong bowed and returned the salute, but after lowering his head, he looked at Shen Yichen at the front, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!

He and Huichang Bo Sun Zhong can appear here, in fact, they have nothing to do with Li Shimian at all, they are purely out to do business, and they accidentally learned that the scholars are knocking on grievances, and the leader is Shen Yichen.

Originally, Sun Shaozong did not plan to participate in this kind of extremely high-risk matter, even if he won fame, it would not be worth the loss. However, on the way back to the house, he saw the carriage of the Chengguo Mansion, which was galloping towards the palace gate, and he instantly understood that Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, had come forward.

With a Daming Duke in the front, then the risk of coming out of the line will be much lower, at least if Wang Zhen wants to hold a grudge, he has to start with Zhu Yong, right?

As long as the benefits of fame can outweigh the risks, then this matter is feasible, so Sun Shaozong immediately changed his mind, turned the head of the car and rushed to the palace with Uncle Chang Sun Zhong, so there is the current scene.

As for whether the queen mother is really invited to come forward when entering the palace, it depends on the situation, if Wang Zhen retreats and compromises, then mention it a little and take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

If Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, is at a disadvantage, then it will simply be treated as if nothing has happened, and Uncle Huichang Sun Zhong will enter the palace just to visit his daughter.

This deal can be called a sure win!

Looking at the ostentatious smile on the corner of Sun Shaozong's mouth, how could Shen Yichen not know what kind of thoughts the other party was holding?

However, at this moment, even if he understands what he can't do, he even hopes that Huichang Bo Sun Zhong can enter the palace as soon as possible to help Zhu Yong share some of the pressure.

After all, no matter what Sun Shaozong's idea is, the identity of the Empress Dowager Huichang's father is real. No matter how powerful Wang Zhen is, his foundation is also based on the foundation of imperial power, and he does not dare to offend the queen mother too much.

"You have praised it, you are in a hurry, and you will take the first step in the next!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Shaozong turned around in a dashing manner and walked into the palace gate with Huichang Bo Sun Zhong.

Looking at this scene, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yichen's mouth, and he felt really ironic.

At the same time, I also understood why the party dispute at the end of the Ming Dynasty would evolve into a disaster for the country and the people. Even when the highest point of morality is controlled by a group of utilitarian hypocrites, no matter how much the lower-class scholars emphasize the literati style, they are just deceiving themselves.

At this time, in the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong was holding Shen Yichen's recital in his hand, and Wang Zhen was accompanying him.

"Sir, what do you think of this envelope?"

Many eunuchs who grew up with the emperor in the Ming Dynasty were called "companions" by the emperor. But Wang Zhen is different, he is not only a companion in Zhu Qizhen's heart, but even has the relationship between Master Yan and Father Yan, so he respectfully calls Wang Zhen Mr. from beginning to end.

Wang Zhen's face was a little embarrassed, before this piece of music was presented, it actually passed through his hand before it was seen by Zhu Qizhen.

At the first glance of Shangshu, Wang Zhen was in a state of anger, I don't know where the little Xie Yuan came from, he actually dared to question our family's punishment, and complained to the emperor, it was so tired!

But after reading the content of the concerto, Wang Zhen's emotions gradually became complicated. Because this is completely different from the complaint he imagined before, there is no place to accuse himself in the whole article, and there are not even many passages to help Li Shimian complain, but more about the heart of the fist as a student who is willing to be punished for the Da Si clan.

Wang Zhen also used to be a teacher, and even now, in front of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, he still plays the role of a master and a father.

So he can empathize, and he still has some envy in his heart, as a teacher, he has such a student's respect and love, what more can he ask for?

In addition, for Li Shimian's punishment, Wang Zhen actually regretted it in his heart after he issued it.

After all, this kind of desire is not much different from unwarranted, it is completely for the purpose of venting a grudge in the heart and forcibly convicting and humiliating the other party.

What's more, the other party is the grandmaster of the wine literati who is the son of the country, and now that all beings are knocking, there is a risk of provoking incidents. When the time comes, the world's scholars will riot and shake the country's foundation, and even the emperor will not be able to protect himself, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses!

was already a little regretful, coupled with the weakness of the teacher's identity, at this time, Wang Zhen faced Shen Yichen's recital, no longer angry and revengeful, but more guilty.

"Long live Lord, this matter is negligent on the part of the slave maid, and he was rashly convicted without strictly investigating the truth."

"Now that I see Shen Yichen's innocent heart, I can't help but feel guilty, and I ask Long Live Lord to punish him."

Wang Zhen decisively chose to bow his head and admit his mistake, but in his tone, there was no trace of panic after the palace maid and eunuch offended the emperor in the TV series, on the contrary, there was a sense of righteousness and strictness.

This is the reason why Wang Zhen can reach his current power, that is, he let Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen have a sense of awe for himself, in addition to dependence!

Many people may feel a little unbelievable when they hear the emperor's reverence for the eunuchs. But in fact, even if Wang Zhen later made the Tumubao Change, so that Ming Yingzong was captured, and Daming almost did not lose the country, Zhu Qizhen never let go of his feelings for Wang Zhen.

Because Ming Yingzong lost his father at a young age, it was Wang Zhen who accompanied him to grow up, which objectively filled the vacancy of the identity of "father".

Since he was a child, Wang Zhen has been very strict with Ming Yingzong, and used the righteousness of his family and country to restrict the little emperor's playfulness, and took full control of Zhu Qizhen's daily life.

And all kinds of teaching the little emperor what to do and what not to do, once there was a situation of not listening, he complained to the then empress dowager Zhang, and asked her to severely reprimand.

Over time, Zhu Qizhen developed the habit of having to go through Wang Zhen's consent for everything, and developed a fear mentality.

But fear is not enough, the ancients respected and stayed away, and Ming Yingzong might hate Wang Zhen after entering the period of youth rebellion.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng and Emperor Wanli were counterexamples, from the initial respect and fear, to rebellion and hatred, and finally began to retaliate frantically, and was almost not ordered to open the coffin and whip the corpse.

Wang Zhen did this very well, strictly controlling the little emperor behind his back, but in front of the courtiers, he taught Zhu Qizhen how to establish the prestige of the monarch and control the ministers, so that Ming Yingzong would not feel aggrieved and lose the sense of dignity of the Son of Heaven.

I have to say that if it weren't for the expansion to the point of leading the army to fight outside the fortress, Wang Zhen's palace fighting methods could be called the top of the Ming Dynasty.

"Mr. has lived in the palace for a long time, and it is understandable that there are occasional mistakes, so there is no need to blame yourself too much."

Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen didn't mean to blame Wang Zhen at all, on the contrary, he helped him find an excuse.

"Long live the love, the old slave really deserves it!"

After that, Wang Zhen knelt on the ground, and his eyes were full of tears.

With this method, Zhang Juzheng in later generations did not lose unjustly, after all, he has a real literati backbone, even in the face of the emperor, he can't be so groveling.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Qizhen also hurriedly got up and went over to help, and comforted him with kind words: "Sir, why should you be like this, this has not caused any serious consequences, I can immediately issue a holy decree to release Li Shimian." ”

"As for this Shen Yichen, Xinke Xie Yuan respects the master and has such a pure heart, when it is widely publicized and let the world's scholars take it as an example, this matter will be over."

In the eyes of the scholars in front of the palace gate, it was as if the sky had fallen, and the humiliating event was placed on the high hall, but it was just a trivial matter.

This is the essence of the world in feudal society......

At this moment, the eunuch of the Sidian walked in, knelt on the ground and said, "Long live the Lord Qiqi, Chengguo Gong asks to see you." ”

Zhu Yong came to see him at this time?

Zhu Qizhen felt a little inexplicable, and opened his mouth to ask Wang Zhen: "Sir, why did Cheng Guogong enter the palace at this time?" ”

"Long live the lord, if the slave guess is correct, the grandfather is here for the new branch to solve the Yuanlang."

"Oh, what does Cheng Guogong have to do with this Shen Yichen?"

Zhu Qizhen became more and more puzzled, how could the dignified Ming Guogong have a connection with Xinke Jieyuan.

"This new science Xie Yuan Shen Yichen is the son of the servant of the Duke of Chengguo who has not entered the genealogy."

"And such a thing? Declare! ”

I saw Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, walking into the hall, and when he saw Wang Zhen also there, he felt a chill in his heart.

Immediately knelt down and pleaded: "Weichen is guilty, and there is no way to teach his son, and I hope that Your Majesty will give him a light punishment for the sake of the dog's youth and ignorance." ”

Zhu Yong knew that with Wang Zhen's character of retribution, it was impossible to make Shen Yichen forgive his sins. Only ask the emperor to see that he is still young and has served the country for many years, and he can let him go.

Zhu Yong prostrate on the ground, but he didn't wait for Zhu Qizhen's response, the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, Wang Zhen didn't want Shen Yichen's life, right?

Just when Cheng Guogong couldn't bear it anymore and was about to continue speaking, he heard a laugh from the direction of the dragon chair.

"Cheng Guogong, what are you talking about, there is no way to teach your son, obviously you are a tiger father without a dog. How can I blame and punish such a child, and I should take it as an example for students! ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Zhu Yong raised his head in confusion, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Even he glanced at Wang Zhen, but found that the other party's eyes were slightly red, and it was obvious that there were traces of crying, which must have something to do with Shen Yichen leading the knock.

Would he be willing to let Shen Yichen go so easily?

Just when Zhu Yong was puzzled, Wang Zhen bowed to Zhu Qizhen and said: "Shen Yichen is a new branch Xie Yuanlang, or give him a Xie Yuan archway, and he can also glorify the lintel of Chengguogong." ”

The Son of Heaven gave the Yuan archway?

If he said the previous words, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, felt a little incredible, and now he had a feeling that he was not dreaming.

In an instant, Wang Zhen is good?
