Chapter 281: A Thousand Cuts
Zhang Anshi led Yin Wang Zhu? Out of the palace.
Zhang Anshi said as he walked: "In the past few days, don't go back to the official school first, you will give me a hand in and out of the palace in the past few days." β
Cinnabar? Nodding, oh.
He looked dejected.
Zhang Anshi comforted: "Let's go, it's time for us to meet the culprit." β
Crime boss......
Cinnabar? Puzzled.
Zhang Anshi went all the way to Qixia, and then under the guidance of Chen Li, he entered the edict.
In the prison, the number of people detained is already overcrowded.
Since you got the roster, then ...... Jin Yiwei began to search the rest of the backbones according to the map.
Of course, ordinary members of the sect do not need to be arrested, but some key personnel must be arrested.
As for what to do with it in the future, it is a matter of two theories.
Li Xizhou was already covered in bruises, his face was hideous, he was hung up, the person was hanging in the air, muttering to himself, as if he was chanting scriptures.
Somehow, as long as this guy recites the scriptures, Zhang Anshi wants to laugh.
Yin Wang Zhu? looked up at Li Xizhou, and said, "Chief Teacher, what is he reading?" β
"It's supposed to curse us, are you afraid?"
Yin Wang Zhu? said very truthfully: "I'm only afraid of the emperor's fist." β
Zhang Anshi asked people to move a chair, and then sat down in front of Li Xizhou.
He looked at Li Xizhou, who was already dying, and frowned: "Why are you so ruthless, don't beat people to death." β
Chen Li, who was standing on the side, was embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Yes, I will pay attention next time." β
Zhang Anshi said: "If there is any danger to life, you must call a good doctor in time, and you must also use medicine in time, no matter how much it costs, people must be saved." β
Chen Li said: "The doctors in this edict are the best, and being humble is not bragging, and the imperial doctors in the palace are not as good as them." β
Zhang Anshi scolded: "You are good and don't learn, but you want to compare with the bad?" β
Chen Li said with a blank face: "Ah...... This ......"
Zhang Anshi immediately looked at Li Xizhou and asked Yin Wang Zhu? "Eucalyptus, you probably already know. Tell me about the person in front of you...... How do you get him to speak? β
Cinnabar? But he said: "Chief Teacher, don't sell it." β
Zhang Anshi smiled, walked around with his hands behind his back, and then said, "Li Xizhou, do you still recognize me?" β
Li Xizhou tried hard to open his swollen eyes, looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "I know it even if it turns into ashes." β
Zhang Anshi said: "Do you explain the things in the palace?" β
Li Xizhou shook his head, he said hysterically: "I won't say it, it's almost too late, if you let my family go...... Maybe...... There is still a chance to ......"
Zhang Anshi smiled slightly: "Your family...... It's impossible to live. β
Li Xizhou said: "Then let's die together." β
Zhang Anshi said mockingly: "Die together, what do you take to die with us?" Do you think that by relying on that Jin's family, you are qualified to die together? β
As soon as these words came out, Li Xizhou's face changed, he shuddered, and stared at Zhang Anshi reluctantly: "You...... How do you know? β
Zhang Anshi looked at him contemptuously and said, "How can you hide your little tricks?" If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do! You see, now you and your family have one more sin. β
Li Xizhou involuntarily trembled again, since he came here, he was repeatedly punished, he still had an obsession in his heart, he just felt ...... As long as he still has something, maybe there is a glimmer of possibility, and the court will compromise with him.
And now...... Not even that last bit of hole card is gone.
He burst into tears: "Ah...... He Shengliang and He Shengliang, how could it come to such a point. β
His voice became more and more sad, then he gritted his teeth, and suddenly sighed in despair: "Hey......"
He sighed.
Zhang Anshi looked at him, but there was a trace of curiosity on his face, and said, "I've always wondered, why...... If you rely on a small county, you can command so many White Lotus Dao people in the world? Do you really believe in your tricks of pretending to be a god, do the people around you really believe it? β
Li Xizhou...... It seems that because the psychological defense line has collapsed, all thoughts have been burned at this time, but he said intermittently: "It's not because people believe it or not, it's many people in the world who hope to have such a person." β
Zhang Anshi stared at Li Xizhou, he was silent, waiting with bated breath for him to continue.
Li Xizhou said: "It's like, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Han Shantong and Liu Futong were the same, don't many people know that they are pretending to be gods?" They buried the stone man, preaching what Mo Dao stone man has one eye, this thing is against the world, is everyone really believing it? Scold......... In fact...... In fact, it's just that everyone wants to do the opposite, because everyone wants to rebel, so some people pretend to be gods and ghosts, so people all over the world follow and believe in their words. β
Zhang Anshi was silent thoughtfully, and then said: "You can't help but think too highly of yourself, you are really far behind people like Liu Futong and Han Shantong." They may be pretending to be ghosts to rebel, and you are just collecting money. β
Li Xizhou said: "The number of roads is the same, even if Han Shantong and Liu Futong are alive in this world, with their original means, they may not be able to call on many people to rebel." In the same way, if I had only preached this at that time, I am afraid that my White Lotus Sect would be far less popular than the White Lotus Sect they preached. β
Zhang Anshi said: "There is some truth. β
Li Xizhou continued: "I am just in line with the hearts of the people, ordinary people, through thrift, offered their belongings, and gave them to me in exchange for their peace of mind." And those White Lotus Dao people in all states and counties in the world, they are worried about the tenants under their hands, and they are always dissatisfied with the tenants, or for other reasons, and make trouble. β
"Therefore, with this White Lotus Sect, these local heroes, give me money, I will let them be this White Lotus Dao people, with this identity, the tenants below will have no complaints. Not only did they not dare to care about the tenants' rent, even if it was a festival every year, they also had to cut down on food and clothing, and send their belongings to the home of this White Lotus Daoist to show their piety. β
Li Xizhou paused and continued: "In the final analysis, it is just your four books and five classics, in order to appear that you are different from others, so you pretend to be profound, and what these four books and five classics commit is just the same problem as the current Zen Buddhism and Taoism. Don't look at what the government says on weekdays, but the gentry and scholars are also like people, ordinary people can't understand a word, and it takes a lot of effort to even speak. β
Li Xizhou was coughing desperately at this time, he seemed to be in great pain all over his body, and his face was wrinkled.
After a pause, he added, "This is certainly teachable...... is complacent and complacent, but the disadvantage is that the people are always restless, and if they refuse to settle down, it will inevitably make people uneasy. My White Lotus Sect is for those ignorant people, and the people believe that the powerful and wealthy families in those places, and even the gentry and scholars, are willing to have a White Lotus Daoist, which is easy and labor-saving, and there are benefits, so why not? β
"As for those local governments, it's better to have more than one thing to have. So...... Even if there is no me, there is no White Lotus Sect, there will still be other people, and other things will come out. β
Zhang Anshi evoked a sneer and said, "It's really a good calculation, I didn't expect that the so-called White Lotus Sect has counted everyone's hearts." In this way, those local parents and officials, as well as the local school officials, are all wine bags and rice bags, and they are not even as good as you liars. β
Zhang Anshi has to admit that this Li Xizhou is definitely an expert in playing with minds.
Li Xizhou's face was extremely ugly, but he insisted: "This is different, those people...... Relying on the Four Books and Five Classics to become officials, what does it have to do with them whether they educate the people or not? But we are different, we have nothing, if we don't have the ability to make people believe us, we are nothing. β
Zhang Anshi said: "This makes some sense. β
Saying that, Zhang Anshi stood up, but said very calmly: "You are extremely evil, and now you have finally said a few words, the reason why I am here is to tell you that you have no hole cards now." In the next three years, you will suffer many sins, and after three years, you will not be too late. You have just said so many things, which shows that you are a very wise person, but a person who is too clever uses this wisdom for such a great sinful thing, then...... The consequences must be borne by the consequences. β
After saying the last words, Zhang Anshi walked out of the torture room and explained: "From now on, you must be serious and don't die." β
With that, he walked out of the cell without looking back.
Standing outside the cell, he let out a long breath, Yin Wang Zhu? came out, Zhang Anshi said: "Do you know why I brought you here?" β
Cinnabar? Shake oneβs head.
Zhang Anshi said: "After reading it, how do you feel?" β
"Scary." Cinnabar? Honestly replied.
"Scary, of course." Zhang Anshi said: "But since you are a Jinyiwei, you have to face such a thing, and people can't be in a greenhouse all the time." In this world, there are always people who face the darkness. It's not you, it's someone else. This official school, do you still want to read it? β
Cinnabar? Without hesitation at all, he said, "Read." β
"Why?"
This guy is so crisp, Zhang Anshi looked a little surprised.
"It's scary, but it's also exciting." Cinnabar? Road.
Zhang Anshi: "......"
Zhang Anshi immediately said: "After graduating from the official academy, do you plan to enter Jinyiwei?" β
"Me?" Cinnabar? looked surprised, and then said: "I'm afraid that the imperial brother won't allow it." β
Zhang Anshi said: "As long as you insist on going your own way, Your Majesty can't do anything to you, can he still kill you?" β
Cinnabar? Said: "Then I'll go and tell the imperial brother that the chief teacher admires me very much and hopes that I will stay in Jinyiwei." β
Zhang Anshi's eyes widened immediately, and he scolded: "You are not worthy of being my student." β
Cinnabar? He drooped his head and said aggrievedly: "I am willing to stay, I like to be in the school, and I hope to stay in Weili like my classmates in the future." β
Zhang Anshi said: "Then let's talk about it then, but ...... Another reason why I'm showing you this is that when you meet this person, what do you think? β
"He killed the emperor's sister-in-law, and I naturally want to break him into pieces."
"Ten thousand broken corpses?" Zhang Anshi looked at him with a bit of teasing and said, "I'll give you a knife, are you really willing to break him into pieces?" β
Cinnabar? Nodding seriously: "Really." β
Zhang Anshi also became serious and said: "But have you ever thought that breaking people into thousands of pieces will be addictive." β
"Addicted?"
ZHANG Anshidao; "A person, after experiencing blood, will become more and more violent."
Cinnabar? looked puzzled: "But isn't this what Jinyiwei does?" β
"Jinyiwei is Kuang to help the world, and he doesn't kill his ministers, how can he do this?" Zhang An said casually: "If Jinyiwei is regarded as a violent machine, then this is no different from Ji Gang, but it is used to exclude dissidents, and in the end, violence will overshadow reason, and it will become more and more black and white!" β
"Do you hope that this brocade guard will eventually become like this?"
Cinnabar? immediately shook his head, but said, "But this can't be helped." β
"It is necessary to make people face the darkness, but also to have a bright side." Zhang Anshi's tone gradually calmed down: "So I have a plan, I want to have an official school in Weili, promote some hobbies, and let people participate, such as kicking and jujuing, as well as playing chess, or other recreational activities, so that after the intense killing, it is rare to relax and relieve such violence." But everything is difficult at the beginning, so we must encourage everyone to do this......"
Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "I think about it, to hold some competitions in Weili and the school, such as chess matches, such as Keju competitions, or to hold some Weili people's calligraphy exhibitions, in addition, we must also set up an internal publication, responsible for collecting some Weili people's deeds, writing articles, both praise, but also criticism of some phenomena, and willing to accept Weili and the school people to contribute, in short, it is to cultivate interest, to separate the bloody work from the interest of peace." β
"Oh." Cinnabar? Nodding: "I see, but ...... What does this have to do with me? β
Zhang Anshi said: "You are well-informed, you can help me find out in the school and Weili, what other hobbies everyone has, of course, healthy hobbies." β
Cinnabar? After thinking about it, he asked, "What is a healthy hobby?" β
Zhang Anshi said patiently: "It's a good hobby." β
"I understand, why didn't the chief teacher say it earlier, leave it to me, I can do it properly." Cinnabar? patted his chest and said.
Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, let's go back to the school." β
Cinnabar? Oh, turned around and walked a few steps, but suddenly stopped, turned around, at this moment, he burst into tears: "The chief teacher ...... Xi"
Zhang Anshi said: "What's the matter." β
"Imperial sister-in-law...... It's going to be fine, right? β
Zhang Anshi's lips twitched, but he didn't answer immediately.
Cinnabar? seemed to have grown up a lot all of a sudden, he looked at Zhang Anshi and seemed to understand something, so he turned around and left.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Zhang Anshi said goodbye home.
Seeing Xu Jingyi, who was also pregnant, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but say in fear: "Hey...... That's why I've always said that you must be careful, and it seems that I'm right to be cautious all these years. β
Xu Jingyi has reached the time to give birth, probably because she is about to become a mother, and the whole person seems to be more gentle and easy-going.
She listened to Zhang Anshi's brainless words, and said strangely: "What's wrong?" β
Zhang Anshi shook his head and didn't say anything about the things in the palace, for fear that she would worry, so he diverted the topic and said: "These days, you have to be more careful, the child should be born, but ...... I'm probably going to be a little busy these days, and then I'm ...... I'm afraid I can't take care of it. β
Xu Jingyi smiled gently: "Don't worry, husband, I can take care of myself, and there are so many people around me watching." β
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but say: "It's really a tiger father and no dog girl." β
Xu Jingyi said, "What?"
Zhang Anshi hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of Lord Taishan." β
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Zhang Anshi entered the palace to meet him.
As soon as the people arrived at the noon gate, they saw the eunuch waiting here.
As soon as the eunuch saw Zhang Anshi, he hurriedly said: "Duke Weiguo, Your Majesty has an edict, Duke Weiguo will go straight to the interior." β
Zhang Anshi nodded tacitly, hurried to Ouchi, and trotted to Queen Xu's bedroom.
Outside the dormitory, Imperial Physician Xu was looking forward to it, waiting for Zhang Anshi to come.
"How?"
"It's still like that." Doctor Xu said: "This night, I was listening to the fetal heartbeat...... But it's always been up and down eighty times...... Niangniang also felt a little uncomfortable......"
Doctor Xu lowered his voice.
In fact, he is no longer a doctor, but a medical officer, that is, a medical hall that manages the world.
But now, he has to come, every time he comes to the palace to see the nobles, he feels frightened, and only when he sees Zhang Anshi can he feel more at ease.
Zhang Anshi nodded, and then entered the dormitory with Imperial Physician Xu.
Zhu Di saw Zhang Anshi and said, "You come, the others retreat." β
As if the imperial physician had been pardoned, he was busy withdrawing from the palace with other eunuchs and palace laves.
Zhang Anshi stepped forward, saluted first, and said, "Is Niangniang okay?" β
Zhu Di sighed and said in a low voice, "She just fell asleep." β
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Queen Xu, and her voice was softer: "She also feels that the child in her belly is ...... Tell me, what's the worst possible outcome of the current situation? β
Zhang Anshi said: "The worst result is that neither the big nor the small can be saved." β
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di gasped, and his face turned a little whiter in an instant.
He tried to restrain himself, but still said softly, "What about the better results?" β
"Find a way...... Keep the mother. Zhang Anshi said.
Zhu Di listened, and his Adam's apple rolled: "Can't the child be saved?" β
Zhang Anshi could only be silent.
Zhu Di said desolately: "Hey...... She has suffered so much in her old age, and she has finally survived until now, I don't know how sad she should be. β
Zhang Anshi said: "Actually, the minister is also worried about this. β
"You say."
Zhang Anshi said: "Niangniang and even the lover, now that they have suffered such a blow, they must be in low spirits, plus ...... In the process of treatment, I am afraid that my body is not good, and I ...... under this double blow."
He didn't say any more, but the meaning was unclear.
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, he nodded subconsciously, of course he knew what Zhang Anshi meant, Queen Xu's health was not good, coupled with the pain of losing her child, she was depressed, this was definitely a fatal blow.
Zhu Di said: "No matter what, you have to find a way...... Take out a charter and ...... I hope she ......."
When Zhu Di said this, he suddenly became gentle: "I hope she is well." β
"Ahem......"
A clear cough interrupted Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi's words.
Zhang Anshi and Zhu Diju both looked at the phoenix couch in the distance.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has a word." Empress Xu suddenly spoke.
It turned out that she didn't sleep at all, and the reason why she 'slept' was because she was afraid that Zhu Di would worry, but in fact, from Zhang Anshi's entry into the palace to her dripping with Zhu Di, she heard it clearly.
Zhu Di hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What's wrong?" β
Empress Xu on the couch beckoned to Zhang Anshi, she sat up, leaned on the pillow, stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "Zhang Qing's family, can the child be saved?" β
She asked very seriously, Zhu Di watched from the side, and her face suddenly became ugly.
Zhu Di knows Queen Xu best, Queen Xu is a very assertive person, and it is said that Zhu Di is stubborn on weekdays, but once Queen Xu makes up her mind, even Zhu Di can't resist her.
Zhang Anshi hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Queen Xu's eyes.
Empress Xu said: "Zhang Qingjia, you speak bluntly, there is no need to shy away from it. β
Zhang Anshi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The child is still young...... And...... At this time...... There's already danger in the womb, ...... Minister......"
"That is, not without hope?"
"There will be danger." Zhang Anshi said: "And even if you can be born, you can't guarantee ......"
Zhang Anshi felt that this was very cruel, and he couldn't say it anymore.
Empress Xu closed her eyes and pondered for a moment before she said, "Is Jingyi okay now?" The child should be born at this time. β
Zhang Anshi nodded.
"Hey, you don't know what it's like to be a mother, if it's Jingyi, you must be able to understand my mind."
Zhang Anshi only drooped his head, as if he was being reprimanded.
Empress Xu continued: "I gave birth to three sons and four daughters for Your Majesty in my early years, and now I ...... The youngest children have also grown up. Now...... I am pregnant, perhaps because of my age, so I ...... I always feel that this pregnancy is extremely hard. But no matter how hard it is, I don't complain, because these days, I always look forward to seeing this child......"
Zhu Di looked sad and said, "What are you talking about now, hey......"
Empress Xu said: "Zhang Qing's family is a capable person, if you ...... This child has the slightest chance of surviving, please Zhang Qing's family, don't give up. β
She suddenly stretched out her hand, held Zhang Anshi's hand, and said kindly: "I hope Zhang Qing can understand my feelings." β
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." β
Empress Xu immediately let go of Zhang Anshi's hand and smiled: "Zhang Qing is the most promising among the children, so ...... I'll say what I should say, after all, it's Zhang Qing who will make the idea. β
Zhang Anshi said: "Minister...... The minister first went to think of a charter. β
As he spoke, he gave Zhu Di a look.
Zhu Di got up, and the two of them walked out of the hall one after the other.
As soon as he came out, Zhu Di said: "This is the benevolence of a woman, Zhang Qing ......"
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...... Minister...... I was thinking ......"
Zhu Di quieted down and sighed: "Let's talk about it." β
Zhang Anshi said: "The minister is thinking...... Once the child is gone, whether the mother can bear it has always been ...... She's not in good health, and she's not in good spirits......"
Zhu Di rarely looked very weak, sighed and said, "Then what do you say?" β
"There could be some danger." Zhang Anshi said: "And the minister is actually not too sure. β
Zhu Di opened his eyes slightly and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" β
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty just said it yourself......"
Zhu Di pressed his hand and said worriedly: "How sure are you to say it?" β
"Five or sixty percent." Zhang Anshi said: "But the danger of the mother has also increased by a few percent." β
Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi, but hesitated: "I actually can't make up my mind now......"
He looked anxious.
So, between the tiger's eyes, Zhu Di saw Imperial Doctor Xu in the corner, trying to hide himself.
Zhu Di said: "You come." β
"Yes." Imperial Physician Xu failed to stealth, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Your ......"
Zhu Di said: "You heard the words, what do you think?" β
Imperial Doctor Xu said: "Minister...... Minister......"
Zhu Di said: "You are a great medical officer, can't you even come up with such an idea?" What do I want you to do? β
Zhu Di shouted.
Imperial Physician Xu subconsciously hugged his head.
It doesn't matter if you don't hug it, if you hug it, it makes Zhu Di unable to hold back.
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, forget it, forget it, this is not the time to do this." β
Zhu Di took a deep breath and said, "Then you can figure it out." β
Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth: "Then give it a try, if something really happens to the mother, it's a big deal...... The ministers will bear the blame. β
Zhu Di said: "Since you have the determination, then give it a try......"
He was silent for a moment: "It's not your turn to bear this sin, just teach this birdman to bear it, if there is anything wrong, I will cut him." β
Zhu Di pointed with his hand.
This finger was miraculously pointed on Imperial Doctor Xu's body.
Imperial Physician Xu only felt that his eyes were dark.
"In that case, it is time to prepare quickly, Your Majesty...... Minister......"
Zhu Di said: "The people in the palace are all at your disposal, and these imperial doctors ......."
Zhu Di paused: "I don't understand the matter of having a child, so I have to count on you." β
Zhang Anshi said: "Yes." β
Zhang Anshi took a deep breath, at the moment, there is actually no way, that is, to produce in advance.
And ahead of schedule...... At least in this day and age, it is a very dangerous thing.
In the afterlife, the solution is very simple, just go straight to a caesarean section.
But caesarean section is obviously too dangerous in this era, this is not an appendix cutting after all, if Zhang Anshi is given ten or twenty years, it can actually be solved step by step technically.
Present...... The only way...... It's a different way.
Zhang Anshi glanced at Imperial Physician Xu.
Imperial Physician Xu was still stunned.
Zhang Anshi coughed: "Doctor Xu......"
Imperial Physician Xu came back to his senses at this time, so he hurriedly followed Zhang Anshi to the corner.
"Wei Guogong, do you really have a way?"
"There's a way, it's a bit dangerous, and there's a big problem." Zhang Anshi said: "It's just a bit taboo, think about it, we are two big men." β
Imperial Physician Xu took a deep breath, then stared at Zhang Anshi and said, "Don't worry about this, Wei Guogong, to be precise, the old man is actually not a man." β
Zhang Anshi: "......"
Imperial Physician Xu lowered his head and said, "Old man...... It's been inhumane for years, you know...... I'm getting older. β
"But I think you're only in your forties."
Imperial Physician Xu coughed: "Let's not dwell on these first, don't talk about it, don't talk about it." β
