Chapter 505: Personal Honor and Disgrace is a Small Matter, but Preserving Holy Virtue is a Big Matter!
Edict of Prison.
When Zhao Qing was escorted here, he was completely guilty, and the whole person was still very rebellious, so after the Confucian scholars who were locked up in the edict saw his expression, there was a great Confucian Luo Rufang who couldn't help but ask Zhang Jingxiu first:
"Ti Shuai, dare to ask him what he committed, did he also take the initiative to surrender, he is even more proud than when I went to prison for the second time!"
"It's not."
"He committed a mortal crime, when he was serving as the imperial historian of the city, he actually ordered the direct slaughter of the officials and the people, and said that he would rather be known as a cool official for slaughtering the puppeteer, and not let the puppet be able to interrogate the bureaucracy and discuss state affairs."
The Imperial Prison was now not just a place for prisoners, but also a place of political and academic exchange under the direct control of the emperor.
Basically, the Confucian scholars who came in had to express their opinions, and discuss and argue with other people, and even scolded each other.
And Zhang Jingxiu is also due to Zhang Juzheng's strict family education, and he is also quite good at the level of scripture attainments and understanding of state affairs, so he will naturally participate in the discussion, and now he is quite familiar with these prison Confucians.
At this time, Zhang Jingxiu answered Luo Rufang's doubts in a friendly manner.
As soon as Luo Rufang heard this, she immediately looked at Zhao Qing: "I said, it is inevitable that there will be disputes between the government and the people, but it is taboo to slaughter directly, what do you think?" ”
"Men and thieves are not separate!"
Zhao Qing seemed to answer a little unanswered, but he also seemed to answer his own answer.
Therefore, Luo Rufang also smiled at this time: "Who is a Han and who is a thief, aren't they all after Yanhuang?!" ”
Zhao Qing stared at Luo Rufang and said, "What do you really think?" ”
"Naturally!"
"The people are also Your Majesty's sons, and they are also our compatriots!"
"For this point of view advocated by Xinli, the contemptible people still raised their hands in favor, but He Fushan (He Xinyin) was a friend, and I didn't agree with it, so I came in again and prepared to persuade his fellow disciples."
Luo Rufang replied.
"You and Hofu Mountain are both punished!"
Zhao Qing pointed at Luo Rufang and shouted, and said, "Didn't you ask me, who is a man and who is a thief?" ”
"I'll tell you!"
Zhao Qing said: "Those who keep etiquette are Han, those who are disorderly are thieves, and those who refuse to be treated by others are thieves!" ”
Luo Rufang asked directly: "Is it a beast if you are willing to be ruled by others?" ”
Zhao Qing couldn't help biting his cheeks, and then said: "This so-called herdsman's will is also!" ”
"Damn it!"
"Your Majesty should indeed kill him, he is a demon who would rather die himself than endure the prosperity of the people, and if he doesn't kill him, the world will collapse!"
Luo Rufang said loudly.
Zhao Qing only sneered.
And after Qian Yiyi was taken to prison, Luo Rufang also asked him: "Presumably you are the same party of the imperial history of the city?" ”
"A gentleman is a friend but not a party!"
After Qian Yiyi said this, he also went to his cell triumphantly.
Meng Yanghao was the same after being escorted, and he didn't feel that he was wrong.
Because Zhu Yijun made a new decree, Zhang Jingxiu came here after the two were imprisoned, and asked people to bring Meng Yanghao and Qian Yiyi to a group of Confucian scholars, saying:
"Your Majesty has a decree, if you are willing to repent of your mistakes, make deep reflections on your mistakes, and confess your guilt, you will be spared the death penalty, and you will be benevolent!"
As he spoke, Zhang Jingxiu lowered his face and said: "Otherwise, when you finish the process at the Three Law Divisions, you will have to be torn apart by the car, and you will die with him Zhao Qing!" ”
After hearing this, Qian Yiyi said: "Dare to ask why Your Majesty changed his will?" ”
Zhang Jingxiu said: "Yuanfu interceded for you, and the Holy Grace descended, giving you a chance to mend your ways." ”
"The Son of Heaven really only gave Shenwu County affection, but he wanted us to repent, what did we regret, what did we commit?"
Qian Yiyi looked at Zhang Jingxiu, with an indignant face, and asked.
Zhang Jingxiu said: "If you don't repent, according to the holy decree, you can be regarded as stubborn, and you can only wait to be torn apart." ”
Qian Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "This is not good, if we repent, wouldn't we just bend our waist and submit to softness, and the gentleman will do something and not do something, how can we be wronged like this?!" ”
Meng Yanghao also said to Zhang Jingxiu at this time: "Yes, if this letter of repentance is written, what will we see in the world?!" This oracle is clearly intended to bring us to disgrace to the world. ”
Zhao Nanxing, who was also in the edict prison, also poked his head out of the cell at this time and shouted: "That's right, don't write!" How can we be gentlemen who have wronged ourselves for the sake of sacrificing our lives! ”
After Zhao Nanxing said this, he also looked at Zhang Jingxiu and said with a smile: "Ti Shuai and go back to the decree, they are all going to die generously, they are all gentlemen, how can they be afraid of the car split?!" ”
"Confused!"
At this time, Luo Rufang shouted at them in prison, saying, "You don't damage your own morality, and you don't let yourself be wronged; Do you want Your Majesty to be wronged, to damage your holiness, and to leave a cruel name?! ”
Qian Yiyi was reprimanded by Luo Rufang like this, and for a while he was like thunder on dry land, standing motionless.
"Okay, I write, I repent!"
Qian Yiyi gritted his teeth and replied after a while.
Zhang Jingxiu smiled slightly, and asked people to bring the four treasures of the study.
"Mr. Kaixin!"
Meng Yanghao couldn't help but shout.
Zhao Nanxing also immediately looked stunned, and couldn't help shouting:
"Gong Qian, you are a recognized gentleman in the world! How could you fall for his tricks in Shenwu County, Your Majesty doesn't know, don't you know either?! ”
Qian Yiyi looked at them: "Don't say it, do you and I really want to admit that you want Your Majesty to be spurned by the people of the world, and at the same time you are respected by the people of the world?!" ”
Meng Yanghao sighed: "Also, if that's the case, just wronged yourself." ”
"Don't write!"
"Please think about it, doing this will be in line with his intention to apply for Wu County!"
Zhao Nanxing shouted, and the whole person was about to cry, and looked at the two with pleading eyes.
Qian Yiyi turned around and arched his hand to Zhao Nanxing: "Don't say anything, personal honor and disgrace are small, but protecting the monarch's father is a big matter!" ”
Qian Yiyi really wrote a letter of repentance as soon as he spoke, swallowing back his previous criticism of Zhu Yijun word by word through the new text explanation, and began to take the initiative to admit that he was because of the private plan of the portal, not really admonishing the king's gains and losses, and the accusation against the monarch's father was just hearsay.
It's just that when Qian Yiyi was writing, if he was cutting himself with a knife and subjecting himself to mental punishment, he burst into tears as he wrote.
Meng Yanghao and Zhao Nanxing were also crying.
Zhao Nanxing even took his head and began to hit the pillar.
"Why is Mengbai so excited, in order to preserve the holy virtue and make himself famous in the world, shouldn't it be worthy of praise from you and me?"
"It's not easy to die, I'm afraid it's even more difficult to survive, if you are really loyal to you, you dare to live in a way that only wrongs yourself!"
Luo Rufang said at this time.
Zhao Nanxing suddenly stopped and shouted at Luo Rufang: "Shut up for me!" Qian Gong and the others are now wronged, and it is not because of your instigation! ”
Zhao Nanxing shouted and looked at Zhang Jingxiu: "Why does Jinyiwei want to lock up so many deviant Confucian students?!" ”
"Just lock them in, why do you still let them ramble here?!"
"Even if you torture them to death directly, it's better than letting them make a big deal of nonsense here!"
"Is this edict tried by you Jinyiwei, or are they trying the case?!"
