Chapter 155: Humiliation
Chapter 155 humiliation
The Sun Mansion was not something that could be easily shaken by a few officials, and spending these golden beads and treasures accelerated the calming down of the situation even more. A few months later, as if it had never happened, Sun Jie once again led his troops to the battlefield - however, this time instead of continuing to chase Zhang Hu, Zhang Hu could no longer catch up, but went south - the Rebellion of Lu'an finally broke out. And those so-called "clear streams" soon suffered an unprecedented blow, and if it had not been for the sudden great changes that occurred later, perhaps the national glory of this dynasty could have lasted for a long time. Of course, history cannot be assumed, let alone ifs.
The political scene at the end of the Ming Dynasty was treacherous, some people were in a high position under one person, but they didn't say anything, whoever came to find it was "good", and then asked the others without saying a word, and people gave the nickname "Big Buddha": looking solemn, in fact, it is also a decoration, and some people are just seven products from the seven products of the sesame official, but at the same time it is the leader of the clear stream, raising his arms and shouting, and the responder is like a cloud. The incident that Sun Jie encountered, its occurrence and pacification should all be on a few sesame officials - and this incident itself is just a small episode in a huge change that swept the Ming Empire.
The sesame official who buttoned Sun Jie's hat and put him in trouble was among the few things that gave Sun Jie, and the one who freed Sun Jie from the predicament was also a sesame official, named Ma Quan*.
Ma Quan is a very successful small-town problem-solver. It is indeed a small town, because classmate Ma was born in a military family, and his father was a garrison in Luoyang, Hanzhong Prefecture. How successful is the problem? You and I are seventeen years old and still in high school rote memorization to die and live painfully, people have already won the Jinshi (virtual age eighteen), and have been selected as the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy! We said before, don't look at the people who praise Jinshi as bullish, don't want it, but compared to Shu Jishi, it's nothing! The nickname of the Shu Ji Shi is "Chu Xiang", and only the best Jinshi have the opportunity to become the Shu Ji Shi - the future university scholars, the first assistant and the second assistant, all have to come out from here! This is not the end, at the age of twenty-one (also imaginary), people have given the Hanlin Academy a review!
It seems that Ma Zheng, who has an incomparably noble identity and a promising future, encountered a super worrying trouble a while ago: his father was imprisoned.
Ma Review's father is called Ma Chengyue, and he is a slightly yang guard. After Zhang Hu and Fang Ge urinated General Lu Guangyu, they directly waved their troops north to occupy Lüyang, but Ma Chengyue, who was a garrison, fled ahead of schedule. Being imprisoned, isn't it wrong?
Actually, it's quite unjust.
Because on the same day that Lu Guangyu was stationed in Yangping Pass, Ma Shoubei wrote a letter asking to go home to recuperate, and then went to Beijing to find his son. I don't know if it's really sick or fake - you say it's true, it's a long way back, there were no planes and high-speed trains in that era, the old man is really not slow, you say it's pretending to be sick, Master Xiu is sitting in the town of Luoyang, the morale is like a rainbow, and the local military attache will naturally get a piece of credit for nothing. If the horse garrison calculated that the disaster was imminent, and the soles of the feet were oiled, the kung fu of this unpredictable prophet was really powerful. But anyway, there was nothing wrong with the procedure, anyway, before Zhang Hu came to fight, the old man had already asked for leave and left.
But who can care about you with those clear streams in the Asari? Sun Jie, who has won the trust of the saint, can toss so many tricks there, a small guard, not how to play how he wants? It's not that there is any deep hatred, what these people are most afraid of is that there is nothing to spray, as long as there is a chance, anyone can be used as a cannonball, which is called the duty of the work needs. So the old horse entered the city with his front feet, and the stool was arrested and thrown into prison before it was hot - whether it was wronged or not, you have to believe that the court is aware of everything. As for when to check, that's not good, the adults are busy, you can wait patiently.
Xiaoma-classmate didn't know before, but now he knows too well what is going on in the imperial prison. I went to see my father in prison once, and as soon as I went in, I threw up. Don't talk about food or anything, that stinks! Everybody can't leave the house with and pee, the dung bucket is full, and the floor is indescribable—the prisoners won't prepare any straw paper for you...... The environment, you can make up for it yourself. Pony sees a thirsty prisoner drinking his own urine! So I made up my mind to save my dad no matter what.
Xiaoma's classmates are good-looking, and what is recorded in the official history is "beautiful appearance" - these words you can taste carefully - are very popular with students in the Hanlin Academy, well, "the same hall is quite cute"! What does that mean, it's not hard to guess, right? In order to save his father, Ma Jian put his heart sideways and went to find Zuo Yizhi. This old Zuo is almost sixty years old, but he has been a classmate with Xiao Ma in his twenties for a while, and he has also done a review in the Hanlin Academy, and he shows great care for Xiao Ma's classmates, and the history books say "It is especially bad"......
At that time, Lord Zuo was very happy, and he wanted to scold whoever he wanted in the court; Under the court, there is a "charming" pony "more things to come", which translates to the song is to welcome and respond to every request, every day is the madness of life, oh, wrong, the peak. In fact, Xiaoma made a typical scholarly mistake: you sacrificed yourself to save your father, which is understandable. But when dealing with those bastards who can swear to turn black and white upside down with their eyes, you should have money and goods in one hand! It's good, keep letting Zuo forget eight unloading, and the payment is of course far away!
Then Lao Zuo got carried away and was beaten violently by Liu Ziqi. Lord Liu is also a speech official, his fists and feet are powerful, and his scolding kung fu is never under Zuo Forgetba, he scolds while beating, and shakes this thing out in public!
There are a lot of things in the Ming Dynasty, you can do it, but you can't say it, although there is only a layer of window paper, everyone tacitly pretends not to see, and if you can't see it, you can't see it. Now it's okay, the window paper has been pierced, and Lord Zuo's face can't be hung up. Don't look at the low rank of Lord Zuo, but if he is a Qingliu leader, when he speaks, a large group of second- and third-grade important ministers have to buy it. In order to show that "Xiaoma and I are really just a working relationship", together with a few Qingliu colleagues, Lao Ma was sentenced to "forty rods, dismissed and returned home" - the subtext is: Obviously the procedure is compliant, if there is really a leg, can the sentence be so heavy? Poor old horses and ponies.
Originally, my father was really wronged, and I endured humiliation and took it in, but I ended up like this, can Pony not hate it? The fame is far and wide, and there is no need to think about the bright future, there are people pointing fingers everywhere you go, and Xiaoma can't get mixed up, so she rolled up the cover and went back to her hometown in Zhuozhou with my father.
Then it unexpectedly ushered in a turning point in life.
It is said that Li Shizhong, the eunuch of Bingbi, looked at the Son of Heaven who was not as good as his body day by day, and he was worried. Fortunately, the two mothers were happy and decided to worship the Buddha and incense. Gonggong Li is also a native of Zhuozhou, Hebei, and he entered the palace halfway, and he wielded a knife from the palace. Cleansing is a technical job, but it is not as simple as closing your eyes and slashing with a knife, otherwise, Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom caught thousands of children in one go, and each of them died tragically without exception, so he used three thousand female officials to do the work of eunuchs in his Tianwang Mansion. There are many taboos and exquisiteness in this industry, some are superstitions, but there are also some measures, and the crooked beating is faintly in line with some naïve scientific principles. For example, scalding a knife with boiling water, which is disinfection, such as inserting a straw into the urethra to catheter after cutting, and for example, two people walking in the yard without stopping, this is to maximize the body's secretion of adrenaline...... Gonggong Li didn't know how to disinfect back then, so he endured the pain and grabbed a handful of incense ashes to stop the bleeding, and of course he didn't know how to use a wheat tube to catheter him, and then he resigned himself to fate. Gonggong Li didn't know that he had to fasten a period of drinking water before purifying himself, and he drank a lot of wine to strengthen his courage, and when the urine leaked out, he became infected, and his body burned like coals. Seeing that he was dying, he struggled to come to the Yaowang Temple in Jiajing to worship the Yaowang Bodhisattva. I don't know if it's the psychological effect or the strong resistance, it is likely that there are both, and Gonggong Li finally turned the corner and became where he is today. Gonggong Li thought that his hometown had blessed his medicine king Bodhisattva was the most spiritual, so he asked the Holy Son of Heaven for leave, and went back to his blessed land to give medicine to the king Bodhisattva incense.
When Gonggong Li went out of the temple gate, he saw Ma Quan kneeling at the bottom of the steps. When I saw the scribe's scarf, my heart moved, and I asked classmate Ma to come forward and talk. Objectively speaking, Gonggong Li is a kind person, first, he knows the hard work of farming, so he has never felt sorry for the farmers, and second, he has always taken good care of the villagers. Listening to Ma Quan tell about the grievances between himself and his father, and then learning that this young man with clear eyebrows was actually a Shujishi and a review of the Hanlin Academy before, Li Gong was openly broken: he has picked up a treasure! Those guys in the DPRK and China blindly make trouble all day long without doing serious things, and they don't rely on themselves to read books and be able to tell crooked reasoning! The person in front of him is the best among the scholars, who will have nothing to do in the future, our family will have useful talents!
returned to the palace and reported to the Son of Heaven about the process of entering the incense, and then Gonggong Li told the Son of Heaven about the experience of Sun Jie, who "heard rumors from the people on the way". The Son of Heaven is also a kind person, because of the loss of his beloved son, he once ordered a strike to stop the court for a period of time without seeing a hundred officials, and all the rules were handled by the cabinet. The old foxes in the cabinet all understand: Sun Jie was bitten indiscriminately because of the bastards' eggs, anyway, Sun Shuai is now living in Chengdu Mansion for a while and has not suffered a crime, and sooner or later he will continue to work hard for Daming, and he can't tear his face with that group of mad dogs, so no one mentions what to do about it, just hanging. Now the Son of Heaven directly interrogated, and all the military newspapers, the confessions of the prisoners, and the official documents of the three divisions of Sichuan Province were ironclad evidence. So Sun Jie was fine, and the Son of Heaven rewarded some bits and pieces, just as the Extravagant Rebellion finally broke out, Sun Jie was ordered to go south and became the first batch of Ming troops to go to the battlefield.
Gonggong Li talked about Ma Chengyue's encounter with Ma Chengyue from Sun Jie's pursuit of Zhang Hu, of course, Ma Quan's "sacrifice" was not mentioned. As expected, the father and son were reinstated. Since then, Gonggong Li has received a strong and desperate Austrian aid in the outer court, which is about to set off a bloody storm that will sweep the Ming Dynasty and the opposition.
As a military general, it is taboo to listen to the secrets of the imperial court. Sun Jie took it for granted that since he was fine, Brother Ma would naturally be fine, so he led his troops south. However, what he didn't know was that Gonggong Li only talked about him in front of the saint, but did not mention the matter of Ma Qiancheng - because Qiu Chengyun was the person recommended by Gonggong Li to the emperor to send out.
The Rebellion of Lump attracted everyone's attention at once. At this time, Zhang Hu Fangge had already led the army north, while Cheng Xi took his group of people, pretending to be refugees from northern Sichuan, returned to Shunqing Mansion in a mighty way, and continued to stay in Sichuan Province to answer Zhang Hu. After the Shunqing Mansion was recovered, it was dilapidated, and the magistrate was worried that he would not see a single living person for dozens of miles, so thousands of displaced people came over at once, and he was overjoyed to settle them.
*It is not difficult for everyone to see that I am talking about Feng Quan here. Because it is an alternate novel, on the premise that all major events and characters have provenances and prototypes, it will have its own chronological order and will not be 100% consistent with history. Then it's not a novel.
The text with double quotation marks in this chapter, although it can make many people's jaws drop, is indeed the original text recorded in black and white in the official history - of course, the characters are fictional, such as Zuo Yizhi of "Zuo Yizhi", in real history, the prototype of this incident is the fourth in the "Donglin Point General Record", known as the "Zhiduoxing" of the Michang period.
BTW, Feng Quan is not a victim in the full sense of the word. For example, he has a good base, oh, friend - the famous Zhou Yanru! How good are the two? Sleep in a bed and get a bed!
This is called "the good of the same family"!
Isn't it strange that knowledge has increased again? ^_^
