Ping An Biography

After receiving the informant, the "Fanzi" was dispatched to search the inn that night. The person in charge of the arrest was Qian Gang, a slave in Dongchang.This person is the detective assigned by Jin Yiwei to the East Factory.The East Factory is divided into criminal, official, and criminal departments, and Qian Gang is the one in charge of apprehending important criminals.

Qian Gang was eager to make meritorious deeds, and believed that the Yang Shiqi family members had an affair with spies, but when he took people to arrest them, they were caught in vain.Of course he was not reconciled, and wanted to expand the investigation and arrest in the whole city of Yangzhou, but he did not have the authority to order a large-scale search of the city under martial law, so he hurriedly asked Wang Gouer, the admiral of the East Factory, for instructions.

Unexpectedly, when they met, Wang Gou'er scolded him head and face, and then the eunuch, who Qian Gang called a disgusting eunuch in his heart, said: "You know what a fart!" The human accent really makes a man like Qian Gang get goosebumps.

In the eyes of the group of people who usually treat him respectfully, Wang Gou'er really doesn't have a good impression. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is simply a monster.This guy is about 40 years old, but his hair is already gray; under the weathered hair, the skin on his face is quite good, without many wrinkles, except for the lack of beard, the delicate skin is also very different from the usual middle-aged men.Bright small eyes and single eyelids, pale complexion, with a strong sense of yin; the waist is thin, without any momentum, and the robe is tied with a belt like a woman's figure.

The most striking thing is the girlish movement of his little finger when he speaks, as if he is pinching his throat... [

Wang Gou'er scolded Qian Gang, and reprimanded Qian Gang in a strange manner: "What evidence do you want to arrest? Did you do something like this?"

Qian Gang finally retorted a little: "Our Jinyiwei of the East Factory mostly needs certificates to handle affairs, and we can't arrest people like those literati who secretly corrupted us."

Wang Gou'er poked him with his finger: "It's Yang Shiqi who can be investigated! Don't even think about it. If the emperor doesn't want to touch Yang Shiqi, what's the point of you raiding the city with such a big fanfare? How can the emperor speak in front of the ministers? If the emperor If you want to move Yang Shiqi, what proof do you need to grab, the emperor said, if it rains, it won't dare to shine."

Qian Gang didn't understand at all, but the admiral of Dongchang didn't say anything, he always knew what he shouldn't do, so he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​wanton raids.

What Wang Gou'er didn't want to get involved was the spies on Jianwen's side. If he did it too much, he was afraid that people would remember it; if he didn't do it, he wouldn't be able to explain his position clearly.So Qian Gang wanted to make a big fuss about this matter, he was really angry.

... But this matter still failed to make a major event into a small matter, and a small matter into a small matter.I don't know if it was the news leaked by the Dongchang fanzi, or it was just guesswork by the meddlers in the officialdom. Some people secretly talked about the suspicion that Minister Yang Shiqi was colluding with spies during the Dongchang search that night.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yang Shiqi has many disciples and friends below him, and he has heard these rumors again.But he knew about the dispatch of hundreds of people from Dongchang, and it happened.

Shiqi came from the period of Emperor Yongle, and his official career was bumpy. When he had a good time, the emperor would ask him about everything. He thought that Shiqi's words were not only thoughtful and steady, but also often had unique insights into things; as long as Yang Shiqi disapproved of things, Most of the emperors had to think twice before acting, and often finally listened to his advice and gave up.But he also has unlucky times, just like he is in a precarious situation now, many people are waiting for him to fall from power one day.

In the Ming Dynasty, tens of thousands of people died because of the Li Shanchang case in the early days. People who failed in politics have no way to retreat to the countryside and live alone. Killing everything is a trend. If you do this, one day I will gain power Of course you have to do the same.Therefore, once Yang Shiqi falls from power, it is not as simple as losing his official position and fame and fortune. I am afraid that there is only one way to die; at most, he will be rehabilitated after the fact, but there is no way to survive.

At this time, Yang Shiqi's psychological pressure can be imagined.But he still looks very stable, his usual demeanor is that of a magnanimous gentleman and indifferent.

He thought to himself that he had been an official for decades, at least he was a good person.Maybe there are some narrow-minded people who just want to watch others play, but it is estimated that there are not many people who really hate him and do not hesitate to make trouble.In the officialdom, it is inevitable that there will be colleagues and competitors, and some conflicts will arise, but Yang Shiqi resolves all these with a generous attitude towards others.

I remember that when Emperor Xuande just came to the throne, all the former ministers were eager to compete for the position in the new structure; once Yang Shiqi Yang Rong was in front of the emperor, and the emperor said in a joking tone: Yang Rong said bad things about you several times, if I hadn’t Forgive you, you have left the cabinet long ago, why did you return him?Yang Shiqi hurriedly said: "Everyone has advantages and disadvantages, and it is easy to make mistakes; since the emperor was able to forgive me at the beginning, please forgive Yang Rong as much as you tolerated me (slandering others).Later, when Yang Rong heard about it, he was very impressed.

Therefore, high-ranking ministers such as Yang Rong, Yang Pu, and Xia Yuanji are unlikely to make trouble, and they should also have a certain degree of ministerial bearing.But those villains are not tall enough, and they can't move Yang Shiqi on the scene at all.

Since no ministers contributed to this matter, only the emperor Zhu Zhanji's consideration can really determine Yang Shiqi's fate.

One day, Yang Shiqi said in front of his disciples and close retainers: "The world is so big, is it the land of the king? If the emperor can't tolerate veterans, the world will be a place for veterans. We can only accept fate. Since people have encountered things that they can do , why is there any need to worry?" He casually expressed his inner thoughts, that is, he believed that his fate was in the hands of the emperor.

His speech has already revealed pessimistic emotions, but he is still very calm.After all, he is a minister who has been in charge of the bureaucratic center of the imperial court. If something happens, it will definitely bring about a wave of turmoil, so there must be some preparations and foreshadowing before the accident.These preparations and foreshadowing will show various signs, so even if he is about to face extinction, he will know in advance that there is a psychological preparation.

But now this sign is obviously not obvious, which is why Yang Shiqi is still stable.As a minister, I have withstood the test of this great threat and pressure.

However, Yang Shiqi remembered the saying "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world". When doing big things, you can't just look at big things. It is equally important to have insight into the subtleties.Within a few days, he vaguely realized that there was a reason for this incident, and finally found Luo Yaoniang to talk to.

After some nice words, Yang Shiqi finally asked what he wanted to ask: "Yao Niang, have you had any contact with Zhang Pingan's people?" [

Luo Yaoniang was immediately stopped by the question. She thought about confessing to Yang Shiqi, but she definitely didn't have the courage.Now that Yang Shiqi asked in turn, she felt that she should tell the truth... In fact, when Yang Shiqi said that irrelevant reason just now, she guessed that it might be for this matter, but it didn't turn out to be true.

Her mind was blank and her heart was anxious, almost instantly she knew that she had to answer immediately.A voice in my heart said: Tell my father... How to punish me, or not trusting me in the future, is what I should do. At least my conscience will be at ease if I bear the consequences.

"No, under the Son of Heaven, how can my daughter have anything to do with those people?" Luo Yaoniang said, she didn't even know what was going on when she said it, her mind was still in a mess.

Yang Shiqi nodded after hearing this: "I shouldn't have asked you, but since I asked, if you said no, then there must be no such thing."

When Yang Shiqi said that, Luo Yaoniang felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment.Several times she wanted to kneel down and admit her mistake, but she still stood there.

...At this time, Peach Blossom Fairy and the others sensed danger and had already left Yangzhou City.After going around the city and the countryside for a few laps, I felt that I had passed a thrilling adventure after making sure that no one was following me.Some places in the countryside are less populated, and if there is a tail, it will be difficult not to find it.

She decided to find a safe place to hide from the limelight for the time being, but the people who have already met here have no problem walking, and once they stop, they will be very eye-catching.At this time, Xin Wei said: "I never said that my hometown is here in Yangzhou, why don't you go back to my hometown and stay with me for a few days?"

Peach Blossom Fairy reminded: "This matter is risky, and you are not afraid of hurting them?"

Xin Wei shook his head: "My parents have passed away, brothers and sisters, but my relatives in the clan know me, and the place is relatively remote, so it is reasonable for us to find a reason to stay at relatives' house."
