None of the three answered.

Wang Xijue was silent for a long time after the three of them left, and the initial anger on Gujing Wubo's face was gone.

After a while, Wang Xijue's housekeeper Wang Wu came and said: "Master, Huang Shi'an, who went to North Korea to manage the cotton industry, is here!" ”

After Wang Xijue heard this, he couldn't help but remember the conversation with Shen Shixing before, so he ordered: "Let him come to see me now!" ”

Wang Wu bowed and said yes.

"I'll have lunch here, so that people can prepare an extra pair of bowls."

Then, Wang Xijue gave an order to the house slaves beside him.

And not long after, Wang Xijue's slave Huang Shi'an came to Wang Xijue, knelt down and bowed: "Greetings to the master!" ”

"Get up."

Wang Xijue said with a smile.

Huang Shi'an thanked him tremblingly, and then hung his head and waited for Wang Xijue to ask.

Wang Xijue asked Huang Shi'an with a smile at this time: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”

Huang Shi'an replied with a smile: "If you don't dare to miss the master's business, you will have time to eat in the future." ”

"Sit down and eat together."

Wang Xijue said suddenly.

Huang Shi'an couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Does the master want the younger ones to eat together?" ”

Wang Xijue nodded: "Fresh anchovy, one person eats tasteless, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy!" ”

Huang Shi'an hurriedly thanked him, and then sat tremblingly opposite Wang Xijue, sat on half of his buttocks, and said with a smile:

"The little one will be made."

Wang Xijue stared for a while, then continued to eat fish and meat, and took the initiative to ask Huang Shi'an: "How is the cotton cloth in North Korea selling?" ”

Huang Shi'an was picking up the bowl and picking up the fast, and when he saw Wang Xijue asking, he was not in a hurry to pick up the vegetables, but replied:

"Back to the master, each coarse cloth is more than a penny more than the Guannei sales, mainly because the Liu family's cloth is sold cheaply, and now we are cooperating with the Langya Wang family (Wang Shizhen family) Busan cotton shop, which has been divided into more than 1,000 taels of silver a year."

"Someone!"

Wang Xijue suddenly put down his fast son and shouted.

Not long after, a slave came out: "Please command, master." ”

"Take Huang Shi'an down and give him a reward of fifty taels of silver!"

Wang Xijue suddenly commanded.

Huang Shi'an was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Wang Xijue: "Thank you, Master for your generous reward, and the little one is ashamed!" ”

He is just a second-class steward of the palace, not a first-class housekeeper, and his monthly money is only two taels, and Wang Xijue's reward of fifty taels is a huge reward for him.

Therefore, Huang Shi'an was overjoyed.

Wang Xijue glanced at Huang Shi'an, who was wearing coarse silk on the ground, and said with a forced smile: "Go down!" Come back to me in the evening. ”

Wang Xijue said, "Let someone set a table for him to eat." ”

"Yes!"

After Huang Shi'an left, Wang Xijue continued to eat fish, and couldn't help but say: "Now I feel that the anchovy is beautiful!" ”

……

"Ge Lao, it's too difficult to have fun with the people!"

"I tried it yesterday and let the family eat with me, but I still don't know where Ouyang Wenzhong's happiness comes from, I just feel uncomfortable."

"I didn't feel uncomfortable kneeling in front of my father in the past, but letting lowly people sit at the same table in front of me is really my heart, but I have no sense of music."

】

Next.

Wenyuan Pavilion.

After Wang Xijue saw Shen Shixing, he told Shen Shixing about his feelings about letting his house slaves eat with him yesterday.

"In the end, I would rather give him a large sum of money for his benefit, and set up another table for him to eat himself, than insist that he sit with me."

"It can be seen that it is still difficult to do without distinction between the high and the low!"

"I don't know how Ouyang Wenzhong can be happy with the people, and how Tao Qiangong can drink with the cultivator."

After Wang Xijue said this, Shen Shixing laughed:

"Maybe the public and the servant are not exempt from vulgarity, and the servant has tried it once, and it can still be done by force, but I don't know where the happiness comes from!"

"The only thing that is quite complacent is that the servant realizes that he is not a person who only knows how to be high and talks about nothing, and does not know humility and cannot be handed over."

"It's completely different from how Your Majesty felt when I sat down with you!"

"The Son of Heaven gave him to sit, only to feel like drinking nectar, his spirit was uplifted, and he had the desire to remember it in the articles and poems; But give the people who sit down as a drink of bitter medicine, as self-denial. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Shixing said: "It can be seen that it is really difficult for everyone to be a friend as He Fushan said, and it is still difficult for an open-minded person like Gong, let alone ask for a noble person in the world?" ”

"We can force ourselves to accept it."

"But what about the nobles of the world, can it be done by coercion?"

"Therefore, when the servant and Bingzhong (Yu Youding) were discussing how to establish the new ceremony, they advocated that although they were courteous to the common people, they still had to admit the difference between the noble and the low, and the new ceremony should focus on building and supplementing it should be to clarify the difference in etiquette between the Chinese and the non-Chinese, and urge the people of the world to recognize that those who accept the king are higher in personality than the barbarians who have not accepted the king."

Shen Shixing expounded his views as he spoke.

Wang Xijue nodded: "This is indeed easier for the world to accept." ”

Shen Shixing nodded: "Yes, the monarch can respect the teacher and teach him, and show him courtesy, and call the former lecturer by the master; But the minister can't just forget the courtesy, and don't know that the monarch is more valuable than the minister. ”

"Some people have forgotten their courtesies because of profit, so that they have lost today."

Wang Xijue glanced at the head of the cabinet and said.

Shen Shixing did not say anything more.

……

Syllable!

"The mastermind behind what you said is Yuansuke, and you can't come up with empirical evidence, how can you make us believe you!"

Soon after the turmoil outside the Daming Gate ended, Yu Shi Ding Jilu was brought out of the Jinyi Guard Prison and interrogated by the Three Law Divisions.

But no matter what Yan Qing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asked, Ding Jilu still insisted that Zhang Siwei, the first assistant of the cabinet, was the mastermind behind him.

So.

Yan Qing and the other officials of the three legal divisions could only conclude the confession, and only submitted Ding Qilu's confession, and also noted that there was no circumstantial evidence to check his confession.

Zhu Yijun therefore ordered Ding Jilu to be split up with Wu, Zhao and other co-offenders, while Ji Chonggong of Jinyi Wei Qianhu was also sentenced to the punishment of being beheaded for taking bribes and watching the civil uprising occur.

Thereupon.

Not long after, Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, Ding Jinlu and others were all escorted to the execution ground.

It is now April of the 11th year of Wanli.

On the day when Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, Ding Jinlu and others were tortured, it was a rainy day, and the cold spring rain first washed the entire execution ground clean.

Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, Ding Jinlu and others were pressed to the wet ground that morning, and their limbs and heads were put in ropes dragged on five carriages.

Wu Zhongxing smashed his dry mouth, his eyes looked at the sky blankly, and it was not just raindrops or tears that appeared in the corners of his eyes, but he was heartbroken:

"How could this be?"

"I knew earlier, I wouldn't have gone against him Zhang Juzheng to win love, and it would be better to end up today!"

Zhao Yongxian shouted loudly here: "Your Majesty! The minister knows that he is wrong, and the minister really knows that he is wrong! ”

"Woo!"

Zhao Yongxian cried as he shouted.

Ding Jilu didn't say a word.

It was only after Shuhua, the left attendant of the prison and punishment department, appeared, that he shouted to Shuhua: "Please inform Zhang Siwei, a person like him is greedy for life and afraid of death, it doesn't mean that everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

"But don't think that if you are so reluctant, you don't dare to admonish the king, and you don't dare to reprimand the adulterer, you can get out of the way!"

"In a world dominated by the strong, cowardly and reluctant people only deserve to be bullied, and Rao is the one who takes the initiative to choose cowardly people, and it is the same!"

"Although the monarch is benevolent, he will not be kind to a useless person like him! I'm waiting for him under the Nine Springs! ”

"Wait for him!"

Ding Qilu shouted and shouted, and laughed.

"Execution!"

Shu Hua didn't say anything, just kept a calm face and shouted when the hour came.

Suddenly, the carriage accelerated, and Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, and Ding Jilu were disposed of by the car.

At the same time, Shen Tao and Qin Hongzhi and other scholars who also prevented others from boycotting the examination were also beheaded.

"Why don't you be gracious, why don't you lenient, we are the queen of the eunuchs, the children of the scholar clan!"

"Why the hell is this happening?!"

"Zhangpuzhou, Shenwu County! Why are you not as good as Zhang Jiangling and Fang Jiayu, Jiangling is a country, and you are not so contemptuous of the lives of lowly scholars; Fang Jiayu also dared to resist the imperial history, but only the paper lake clay sculpture was general! ”

"Woohoo! The sky has no eyes, the sky has no eyes! ”

And before being beheaded, Shen Tao and the others also roared heart-rending in the drizzle, obviously extremely unwilling.

Swish!

Swish!

When a knife fell, Shen Tao and Qin Hongzhi just trembled all over their bodies, struggling non-stop, and did not stop moving until their necks were broken and bleeding.

When Jinyi Wei Qianhu Ji Chonggong was beheaded, he shouted quite aggrievedly: "Mother, I knew that I wanted to do this, so I wouldn't be greedy for that silver!" ”

Swish!

It was useless to regret it, and Ji Chonggong was finally beheaded.

For a while, outside the archway of the West Market, the ground was all red.

And not long after Zhang Siwei knew what Ding Jilu was saying to him on the execution ground.

For a moment, he was so angry that he threw the pen he was waving directly on the white rice paper and scolded: "Should there be no king and no father?!" ”
