Chapter 65 Seeking Benevolence and Obtaining Benevolence

Sure enough, as Ding Xian expected.

After about half a day, Zhu Yunwen summoned Ding Xian again and asked, "Fang Xiaoru was not executed, right?"

Ding Xian said: "Your Majesty, the minister also hesitated, after all, the human head is not a leek, and it will not grow if it is cut off. Mr. Fang has worked with the minister for many years, and he also has some affection. The minister wondered if he could be spared."

Zhu Yunwen said, "Didn't you just kill him? Why did you change your mind again at this time?"

Ding Xian said: "The minister has not changed his mind, but it is difficult to achieve both righteousness and affection, national affairs, and personal feelings, and the minister also wants to find a way to get the best of both worlds. And even if you can't, you have to be cautious about killing such a minister. After all, Chen thinks that it is better to think more about it, and see if there is any place that has not been thought out and makes the outside dissatisfied."

Ding Xian can be regarded as having a good grasp of Zhu Yunwen's thoughts.

Zhu Yunwen did regret it a little.

He felt a little rash. As Ding Xian said, the court procedure is officially three, and there are three times, that is, three audits, at least before going to the execution ground, there is also a chance for pardon by the imperial pen. What's more, a minister like Fang Xiaoru.

There is a standard process. Even the eight discussions are exempted, not that they can be killed if they are killed. What's more, Fang Xiaoru is too widely implicated behind him. Zhu Yunwen doesn't have to weigh the pros and cons.

Just listening to Ding Xian's words, Zhu Yunwen's rebellious psychology in his heart came up.

To be honest, since he ascended the throne, Zhu Yunwen felt that he could be like Zhu Yuanzhang and do whatever he wanted, but in fact, in the past two years, he has done anything happy, and many things have been discussed with the minister, and a compromise was finally reached.

This method is similar to what Zhu Yunwen saw when Zhu Yuanzhang handled affairs. The difference is too great.

In addition, Zhu Yunwen is still young, although he is a little young and old, but he is also very sensitive to some things in the rebellious period. This was discovered by Ding Xian.

Therefore, Ding Xian said such things intentionally or unintentionally.

In today's situation, it is naturally possible to cut first and then play. After all, human death is irretrievable. No matter what Zhu Yunwen thinks, it is impossible to pick up Fang Xiaoru's head. But Ding Xian wants to go the long term. What is his biggest asset?

It is Zhu Yunwen's grace, without Zhu Yunwen's grace, he is nothing, his foundation is too shallow.

Therefore, for today's matter, it is really not worth burying a thorn in Zhu Yunwen's heart.

That's why this one came out.

Zhu Yunwen stopped him, not because he didn't think Fang Xiaoru deserved to die, but because he felt that this matter was a little inappropriate. Of course it's not appropriate. Ding Xian deliberately used words to induce, Zhu Yunwen didn't find out at the time, and now he already has some suspicions.

If Ding Xian still insists on the idea of forgiveness, Zhu Yunwen may take back his fate. But Ding Xian said what Zhu Yunwen was going to say. Instead, Zhu Yunwen's mind was put on another place.

That is, this outsider is dissatisfied? Who is dissatisfied.

Zhu Yunwen thought about it for a while, and knew that the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the only ones who were dissatisfied were the important ministers of the court. After all, it is too casual for the court to kill ministers, which means that it is okay to kill them at will.

Zhu Yunwen couldn't hold back his anger again.

When Taizu killed Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang, how could anyone dare to say a word. Now I want to do this thing, not for a reason. Even if you kill without guilt, can't you do it? I want you to be satisfied or not.

When it comes to the matter of the palace, the dead ministers are not one or two, and it can only be regarded as a bad life.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Ding Xian and said secretly in his heart: "Ding Xian's foundation is shallow and his courage is a little small."

This is actually the reason why Zhu Yunwen values Ding Xian, killing Fang Xiaoru, even if someone charges ahead, he still hesitates again and again. But kill Ding Xian. Zhu Yunwen can do this with a piece of paper.

This is also why the emperors of the Ming Dynasty liked to use eunuchs. And Ding Xian was born in the forces behind him, and here in Zhu Yunwen, he is equivalent to a eunuch.

Plus Ding Xian has some talent

Hua, do things according to his heart. Only then did he decide to promote Ding Xian.

Zhu Yunwen said, "Forget it, I will do what I say. Just do what you have to do."

Ding Xian was more hesitant and said, "Do you think you want to think about it again?"

"I've made up my mind." Zhu Yunwen's words were categorical.

Ding Xian sighed and said, "Yes."

seems to be really Fang Xiaoru's best friend.

In prison.

Fang Xiaoru sat on the chair.

He was well treated. Single room, with bed and table and chairs, the only inconvenient thing is that there is no thatched room, only a separate toilet. And this toilet is luxurious. As soon as it was convenient for him, someone would immediately clean it up. There won't be a trace of smell.

Even a lot of things, such as Fang Xiaoru's treatment at home, is better.

It's just that Fang Xiaoru felt a chill to the bone.

He felt something was wrong. Something is very wrong.

He was imprisoned for seven days. Cut off from the outside world, everyone in the edict took good care of him. But Fang Xiaoru's political sense of smell already made him feel an ominous feeling.

It turns out that Fang Xiaoru is too bookish and naïve many times.

Fang Xiaoru thought that he would be able to exchange for the opponent's leniency if he made concessions, but he could only say that he was too naïve.

Many times, those who do not have a bottom line will overcome those who have a bottom line.

Song Lian is a moral gentleman, and so is Fang Xiaoru. Between Fang Xiaoru and He Xi, there is a bit of sympathy for each other, and He Xi's filial piety to the other party is also not the right thing. If he was facing He Xi, Fang Xiaoru was willing to back down, and He Xi would never kill them all.

In this respect, the moral standard in He Xi's heart is actually above most of the Ming Dynasty. At least a lot of vicious and vicious methods, He Xi didn't know, but he didn't force a desperate situation, he couldn't do such a thing.

On the contrary, the moral threshold of many people in this era is too low.

For example, Fu Youde, kill someone, slaughter a city, and break a river, I don't think there is any problem.

After all, there are too many people who have done this.

Although it is said that under the high-pressure rule of Zhu Yuanzhang during the Hongwu period, the civil officials trembled. But the real kind of ruthless villain, Fang Xiaoru has never seen it, and he and Hu Weiyong can be regarded as missing out. When he came to the court, Hu Weiyong was no longer there. I haven't seen it, this is the majesty of poisoning Liu Bowen, Yang Xian and other ministers.

In many things, it is a little naïve.

It is as if a learned person cannot imagine the ignorance of a person with shallow doctrine. People with high moral standards sometimes can't imagine how vicious people can be.

He just sensed something wasn't right.

At this time, the outside door suddenly opened.

Ding Xian walked over, Fang Xiaoru sighed in his heart, and immediately got up and said, "Ding Gong, you came to see me?"

Ding Xian was ecstatic in his heart, but secretly said in his heart, "You can't get carried away. Before Fang Xiaoru died, anything could change. So, be cautious, be cautious." He let out a long sigh, covered his face with his sleeve, and said, "Gong Fang, I have no shame to come to see you, but it is difficult for you to die. This is already the case, if Fang Gong has anything to say, just say it as soon as possible. The only thing I can do is to send a message to Gong Fang's family."

Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment and said, "What is Your Majesty's will?"

Ding Xian gave the holy decree to Fang Xiaoru.

Fang Xiaoru took it and took a look, his whole leg was weak, and he sat heavily on the chair. For a while, the mood was rolling. It took a while to calm down. He was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "Seek kindness, be merciful, and this is the case. What else do you have to say?"

Fang Xiaoru looked back on his life and read since he was a child. His father died because of the empty seal case, studied with his teacher, entered Beijing under the recommendation of the teacher, and was selected by Emperor Taizu. Assist the Crown Prince. All his life, he has been assisting the imperial court and reviving sacred learning, and he has persevered. Never thought about yourself.

If you say, the biggest regret of his life. That is, in terms of learning, he lost to He Xi. Though the Sacred Learning was not cut off at his hand. But after his death, it is estimated that no one will be able to resist this side

flag.

The reason why he is in the current situation is not in essence a political dump. It is the way of Confucianism, which is not as good as He Xi's way of governing the country, which is the fundamental.

But he couldn't learn He Xi.
