The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 672
At the gate of the prison, two thousand households from the West Factory watched Yang Qingyuan leave.

"These scholars may be chatting, and they have been chatting for almost two hours."

"Who said no!"

"It's a pity that this man surnamed Yang didn't rob the prison, otherwise we wouldn't have to worry about dealing with him!"

While the two were chatting, Wang Zhi, the head of the Xichang stall, reappeared.

"You still want him to rob the prison?! Who is he?! Dali Siqing, Wuxianghou. With his wisdom, he will do the same thing as you two that stupid pigs can do?!"

"And you two should also be grateful, he didn't do anything, otherwise, with his martial arts, you two are now the heroes of Xichang, and you will be honored after death."

Looking at the direction in which Yang Qingyuan was going away, a faint light appeared in Wang Zhi's eyes.

He is an aspiring eunuch, and he doesn't want to be a thug for the rest of his life.

He is diligent and studious, has a brilliant literary talent, and has a close relationship with Liu Jue, a scholar of the Imperial Academy in private, and his articles criticize the current malpractice.

It is hard to imagine that an eunuch and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy could become confidantes.

Wang Zhi withdrew his gaze and walked into the cell of the prison. He didn't have the evil spirit of the big stall of Xichang just now, and his demeanor was more like a student studying.

"Bachelor Yu, the villain is here to attend class again."

After seeing Wang Zhi coming, a smile appeared in Yu Yanyi's eyes.

Wang Zhi can be regarded as a friend he made in the prison.

Although the person in front of him is a big boss in Xichang, he is hardworking, studious and talented.And there is a bottom line for human beings.

Yu Yanyi had come into contact with many eunuchs. Dongchang Cao Zhengchun was loyal to the late emperor and his methods were decisive, but he suffered from lack of education and could only be used as a knife.

Although Xichang Yuhuatian is also a well-educated person, he is ruthless, too fierce, too greedy for power, and easily backfires.

The person in front of him is not only good-natured, but it's okay to accept a registered disciple before he dies.

"Today, what do you want to hear?!"

Yu Yanyi asked after seeing the last chopsticks dish in the bowl.

"Small man, I want to hear about Yang Xueshi's Yu Bian theory."

Yu Yanyi glanced at Wang Zhi in surprise, he didn't expect him to choose this.

"Okay! Since you have the heart, I'll tell you!"

……
-
In the imperial study.

Zhu Zhankun asked Yuhuatian suspiciously.

"What Yang Qingyuan said to Yu Yanyi in the sky prison, I didn't find out at all."

Yu Huatian shook his head, "Yang Qingyuan was originally a Taoist master, proficient in sound transmission from Heavenly Dungeon. Now that he has entered the realm of Dongxuan, he is covered with the principle of sound transmission from Heavenly Dungeon. Our spies in the prison can't hear them at all." The voice of conversation."

Zhu Zhankun is a little uneasy now.The upper limit of the combination of Yang Qingyuan and Yu Yanyi is really hard to estimate.

The last victim, King Nurhachi of Hou Jinqing, now has less than three feet of grass on the grave, but there is definitely one foot.

Yuhuatian is now Zhu Zhankun's right-hand man, so he naturally wants to share Zhu Zhankun's worries.He also temporarily acted as a military adviser.

"Long live, the government and the public were already dissatisfied with Yu Yanyi's matter before. If we continue to deal with Yang Qingyuan in the same way as Yu Yanyi, I'm afraid the people in the world will not accept it, so Long live cannot take the initiative to attack."

"Then what do you want?!" Zhu Zhankun also had great trust in Yuhuatian.

"Long live, have you ever caught a fish?!"

"Exactly, fishing!"

Although the fisherman threw the bait, it was the fish that took the initiative to bite the hook...
-
On the first day of April, Cao Shouzheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, clarified Yu Yanyi's crime. He and the eunuchs Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qinmou welcomed the king of Chu. Such a serious crime not only should be executed by Yu Yanyi, but also his family and relatives should be severely punished. .The emperor benevolent, punished lightly, exiled Yanyi's wife and children to Longmen, and pardoned relatives.

Liu Jibai, a doctor in the household department, objected and was relegated by the emperor.

On the third day of the fourth lunar month, Chen Wenting, the newly-appointed assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, wrote to the emperor, and the students of Chongwen Academy gathered a crowd to make trouble, sophistry for the rebellious minister Yu Yanyi, slander the emperor, and discuss state affairs indiscriminately.

The Son of Heaven approved that he was young and ignorant, and only punished the chief evildoer, and the rest of the bewitched people were not punished. However, imperial examinations were not allowed within 20 years.

Sui Chongwen Academy's head, teacher and leading [-] students were arrested and imprisoned, and they were interrogated and executed together with Yu Yanyi.

The Ministry of Punishment set the execution date, three days later.

This time is neither long nor short, but it was proposed by Yu Huatian, and Zhu Zhankun personally drafted it.

If the time is too short, it will be difficult for Yang Qingyuan to start an incident in a hurry.

But if the time is too long, Yang Qingyuan has over-prepared, and Zhu Zhankun is a little afraid. After all, he is a famous general in the world, and 3000 people are enough to change the situation of the battle.

So three days were given for Yang Qingyuan to link up with his party, but he couldn't mobilize troops.

But to Zhu Zhankun's surprise, Yang Qingyuan did nothing during these three days.

Instead, they brought food and wine to Yu Yanyi every day.

On the night of the third day, Yang Qingyuan went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, making the people in Xichang feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

But in fact, Yang Qingyuan didn't take any action at all. After discussing with Yu Yanyi that day, he had only one choice left.

He watched helplessly as the pillar of the country died in the hands of Hunjun Xiaoxiao.

The head of Chongwen Academy is named Xu Daoqiong, and he calls himself Mr. Jackdaw. He is Yu Yanyi's good friend.

Therefore, in Chongwen Academy, you can often see Yu Yanyi's articles and theories.

"Brother Daoqiong, I'm the one who implicated you!"

Xu Daoqiong sighed regretfully, "Our old bones don't matter. But Mo Yan and Xiang Jie are all talents of the country, and now they have to die with us who are half buried in the soil. It's really a pity!"

The same is true for all teachers, they are not too young.Some have no fame, some are juren, but they are all people who are proficient in learning.

Criminal law, arithmetic, scriptures, poetry, although the six teachers have their own strengths, they are all proud.

Cao Shouzheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, interrogated them personally. As long as Yu Yanyi was accused of slandering the emperor and intending to rebel, he could be spared the death penalty and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.However, no one bows their heads in the face of death.

A gentleman is dead when he dies, but how can he discard his strength of character? !

The full name of Xu Daoqiong's silent words is Zhang Jing. The name is very common, but the person is not common, but he is the first in the Gyeonggi Township Examination, and he is a talent for solving Yuan.

With his literary talent, next year's Qiu Wei can try to hit the top three rankings in the world.Now he is behind bars.

Hearing the head of the mountain mention herself, Zhang Jing said, "I am deeply taught by the great scholar and the head of the mountain. A gentleman should keep his morals. Fu Qingbai will die straight, and he will solidify the richness of the former saints."

Death, of course, is something that everyone is unwilling to face, but there are always some scholars who are not afraid of death, and there are always some scholars who have a strong character!
From Qu Yuan, Xie Lingyun, Tao Yuanming to Fang Xiaoru, Yang Jisheng, Yang Lian to Wen Yiduo, Lu Xun, Fu Lei.

As new as ever, as always.

There are always literati who stand up and prove that although scholars are useless, they can continue the world's cultural context and lead the future.

Zhang Jing is not afraid of death, but it does not mean that other people are not afraid.

For example, Xiang Jie in Xu Daoqiong's mouth, his full name is Yu Xiangjie, he is good at poetry and calligraphy, and he is a double wall of Chongwen College with Zhang Jing.

"I actually don't want to die, I haven't lived enough!"

Xu Daoqiong heard the words and wondered, "Then why is Xiang Jie here?!"

Yu Xiangjie looked bitter, "Although I am afraid of death, there is no reason to betray my teacher and abandon my friends? I am afraid that after a thousand years, someone will poke my spine."

Compared with Zhang Jing's fearlessness, Yu Xiangjie is obviously more sincere.

Afraid of death, but had to die.

When Xu Daoqiong heard the words, he sighed, "It's because of my teacher that I have troubled you."

Yu Xiangjie waved his hand, "Master Shan, you'll be out of your league if you say that!"

Yu Yanyi said in silence, "This matter has nothing to do with you, but I implicated you."

He can die calmly, but how can Yu Yanyi feel better seeing so many people being imprisoned and sentenced because of him? !
On the one hand, the more innocent people died, the greater the success rate of restricting the monarchy against Zhu Zhankun.

But on the other hand, I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.The sense of guilt also weighed on Yu Yanyi's heart.

"Scholar Yu, what is the crime?!" Zhang Jing was the first to stand up against Yanyi's point of view.

"I can't wait to speak uprightly, and there is no false statement. This situation is all about the cruel and heartless emperor. What does it have to do with the Grand Scholars?!"

If telling the truth is also a sin, then they are indeed unforgivable sins!

While several people were chatting freely, Yang Qingyuan came to the prison.

"Bachelor Yang?!" Yu Xiangjie was the first to see Yang Qingyuan.

This person regarded Yang Qingyuan, a senior in the examination room, as an idol, and was a little surprised to see Yang Qingyuan suddenly.

Although Zhang Jing was a little better than Yu Xiangjie, he was still very excited. He studied the law intensively, so he naturally respected the No. 1 criminal law of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The rest of the students, even the teachers, greeted Yang Qingyuan one after another.

Yang Qingyuan didn't put on airs either, instead he took out his money and asked the prison guards from the Ministry of Punishment to prepare food and drinks to chat with everyone.

Yang Qingyuan naturally didn't care about Zhu Zhankun, and the rest of the people were all dying, so they had no worries.

On weekdays, some disrespectful remarks are also frequently made, and even shocking words about limiting the monarchy and equality in the world are made from time to time.

Wang Zhi from Xichang in the distance looked at this scene and was envious in his heart. If possible, he would also like to join this party.

……

The shadows of the candles on the gray walls of the dark prison are deep, and the long river gradually falls and the dawn stars sink.

The people from the Criminal Department finally came.

"Master Yang, we... We are also following orders, please don't make things difficult for us."

Yang Qingyuan had no expression on his face, just stood still.

Everyone in the Ministry of Punishment loaded Yanyi and the other important criminals into the prison van, ready to take them to the execution ground.

As the sky became brighter, more and more people came to the gate of the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

There are officials, scholars, common people, traffickers and pawns.

Yu Yanyi is a good man and even a good official.

Maybe he will hurt your interests, but it will never be because of personal grievances, it must be out of public interest, even if you are a political opponent, you have to admire Yanyi's character.

As the prison car drove out of the Ministry of Justice, countless people followed beside the prison car.

There are Hanlin bachelors and officials from various ministries, and its formation is comparable to a small court meeting.

The new General Secretary Wang Hua, who was recalled to the public and secretly surrendered, looked at the scene and asked Yang Qingyuan, "Qingyuan, are you just watching Yu Dashi being unjustly killed?!"

Yang Qingyuan remained silent, not knowing what to say!
Looking at the line of prison cars approaching the entrance of the alley, Wang Hua bowed, and then said: "Qing Yuan, you send me to the University scholar, I will go to the gate of the palace to write a letter!"

Liu Jibai who was demoted at the side heard the words, "Boss, I'll go with you, I have a loud voice!"

The convoy of prison cars drove away.

The east is not yet bright, and the sky is still dark.
-
On the street, there were people saying goodbye along the way.

Although they don't understand the big truth, it prevents the people on these platforms from knowing that Yu Yanyi is a good official, and it is he who saved Gyeonggi and the people in the north.

"Master Yu, eat a bun before leaving!"

"Yu Qingtian, this is an egg laid by my own chicken, you can eat it!"

"Master Yu is wronged!"

The common people along the way made the officials in charge of escorting the Xichang Factory Guard and the Ministry of Punishment feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

There are even many chivalrous things in the world, and they sneaked into the capital at the risk of being captured by Dali Temple and the Six Gates.

It doesn't mean that they can't distinguish between right and wrong, black and white, good and evil.In their eyes, Yu Yanyi is not a running dog of the imperial court or a corrupt official, but a great hero who stepped forward to save the people from fire and water.

Sometimes, these people from the rivers and lakes are more pure.

Among these masters who entered Beijing, there were even Yu Lianzhou and Mo Shenggu, the second of the Wudang Seven Heroes.

However, Dali Temple and Six Gates cleaned up Gyeonggi before, coupled with the joint defense of the East and West factories at the moment, so that people in the Jianghu could not find any opportunities.
-
At the entrance of the imperial palace, Wang Hua, the Minister of General Administration, led Liu Jibai, who had just been demoted to the county magistrate of Shanyin, to recite his memorials aloud over and over again.

When today's son ascended the throne in June, he was guilty of five crimes in the world.

The first crime is to enter the imperial city at night and seize the throne in a coup d'état!This is disloyalty.Historians don't remember it, but they edit books to cover it up, so the people of the country don't know it?
The second crime is to kill the father with the son, which is unfilial.Can the matter of Feishuang Palace block the mouths of all the people in the world? !After a hundred years, it will be remembered in history!
The third crime is ignoring the law and unjustly killing heroes!This is inhumane, looking through the history books, is there such a case?Could it be Song Gaozong, Sui Yang and his ilk.

The fourth crime is blocking the way of speech and massacring scholars.Chongwen Academy, Confucian students, how innocent! ?This is injustice!
The fifth crime is that he favors and trusts traitors, disregards brothers and sisters, and kills brothers. This is disrespect!
All of these, those who are not loyal, filial, benevolent, righteous, and fraternal, how can they be the father of the world? !How to conquer the hearts of the world? !
Behind them, more and more people gathered. The students who had been dispersed before found a leader, and their hearts became more and more courageous. They recited in unison, and the sound shook Miyagi.

This voice has been transmitted to the ears of Zhu Zhankun who was hiding in the imperial city and accompanied Queen Zhou Mingyu.

Listening to Wang Hua's memorial, even in front of Zhou Mingyu, Zhu Zhankun couldn't restrain his anger and threw four teacups in a row.

"Rebellious officials and thieves! Rebellious officials and thieves! Everyone should be killed!"

This scene was enough to leave an indelible stain on his history.

Of course, the unjust killing of Yu Yanyi before was a stain, but Zhu Zhankun still felt that it could be washed away.

Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty killed the prince Liu Shi, and he is still the hero.

In the former Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong killed his brother and seized the throne. He is also a holy king through the ages.

Having said that, the anger in my heart is still unstoppable.

But being angry is all about being angry, Zhu Zhankun still can't do anything to Wang Hua and Liu Jibai.

Needless to say, Wang Hua, the number one scholar in the 13th year of Yong'an, was called the talent of Zaifu by a group of scholars and the late emperor, and he also had a great reputation among scholars.

And Liu Jibai is a playboy, but he can't help that he has a good father.

Although Liu Bin was only a servant of the Ministry of Rites, he was once a follower of the prince and a minister of the dragon.

He just demoted Liu Jibai's official position, if Liu Jibai is killed again, making Liu Bin no successor, what will the ministers who have always supported the crown prince think? !

"Come on! Dispel those daring lunatics at the door!"

Even if he didn't want to, Zhu Zhankun could only pinch his nose and admit it.
-
The prison van was driving and had reached Caishikou.

Those who were not convenient to show up in person also brought exquisite food and wine to see off Yu Yanyi and the students of Chongwen Academy.

On the attic, Changsun Fuji and Li Hongyi sat facing each other.

"Brother eldest grandson, I have already taken on all the notoriety. You may be willing to come and sit for the position of second assistant in the cabinet!"

Li Hongyi is numb now, he knows that his reputation has been completely ruined because of this incident, he might as well work for Zhu Zhankun wholeheartedly to get some benefits.

The grandson Fuji still had a smile on his face like Maitreya Buddha, showing no emotion.

He was originally neutral, but no matter what methods Zhu Zhankun used now, he had won. After Yu Yanyi died, Qian Muqian could not support him alone.

The cabinet has gradually been controlled by Zhu Zhankun, and after all, the emperor won.

Moreover, Li Hongyi and Zhu Zhankun's notoriety for unjustly murdering the hero Zhongliang has already been cast on the heads of Li Hongyi and Zhu Zhankun. Even if he serves as the second assistant at this moment, it is expected that there will be no serious problems.

"Thank you, the Son of Heaven, for your attention. Brother Li recommended me. I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

Amidst the uproar, the two reached an agreement.

Afterwards, the two watched the convoy passing by, and looked at Yang Qingyuan who was following the prison car team.

There is no more high-spiritedness in the past.

Such a talented person, fell into such a situation!It's really embarrassing and sighing.Thinking about how outstanding he was back then, he was valued by the two great scholars, Yu and Qian, and trusted by the late emperor, so he was in the limelight for a while.

But at this moment, he still can only watch Yu Yanyi rush to the execution ground.

Therefore, politics cannot tolerate major mistakes. It is possible that a single mistake in standing in line will ruin your political career.

And the eldest grandson auxiliary machine is the most cautious one.

Noon, West Market, Caishikou Execution Ground.

This is a place that appears very frequently in Jianghu story books and folk dramas.

Cao Shouzheng, Minister of the Department of Criminal Justice, was already waiting for the arrival of the prisoners.

Seeing Yu Yanyi, who was once under one person and above ten thousand people, being taken to the execution platform, Cao Shouzheng also had mixed feelings.

But it was already noon, and he couldn't allow him to be emotional. Following the beheading order, the executioner wearing a red belt swung the knife.

Except for Yu Yanyi, all the blood was spattered and their heads fell to the ground.

Only the executioner in charge of Yanyi couldn't cut the knife for a long time.

"Bah!"

The execution knife fell to the ground.

"Master Yu, I am from Jinyang!"

People are not grass and trees, how can the executioner cut down on this hero who protects his hometown? !
Cao Shouzheng was furious when he saw this scene, "Don't kill me soon!?"

Yu Yanyi shook his head, a dying person, why bother to implicate others!

He got up suddenly, and before everyone had time to stop him, he bumped his head on the execution platform and went to die generously.

"Master Yu!!" All the people present burst into tears.

The originally clear sky was also covered by dark clouds, and it rained heavily without warning.

On the day of Yu Yanyi's death, the sky was clear and cloudy, and the world felt wronged.
