The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 218 Shi En
At first, no matter how I pushed it, I felt that I was suspicious, but after all, she was the one who was cheated by Shen Qi once. At that time, she really regarded her brother as her own son, even if it was only for a short period of time. , but it can't be fake.

But now, when she had judged this incident as a coincidence, Zhang Ruoai said something like this to herself.

Zhang Tingyu withdrew?
Gu Huaixiu wanted to laugh a little, but vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Zhang Tingyu knew she was left-handed, so she would never let a left-hander use her right hand for no reason.

After all, Gu Huaixiu was still suspicious, she thought about it and asked Brother Ai a few more words, and then let Zhang Ruoai leave after a while.

Looking at the ball of paper thrown down by himself, Gu Huaishu picked it up and unfolded it, but finally found it ridiculous.

Maybe there is another reason...

At least now she won't ask Zhang Tingyu, his affairs are already worrying enough.

At the end of last year, Dai Mingshi's case suddenly came out. Many people in the government and the opposition have begun to impeach Zhang Tingyu, and some people in the Imperial Academy have also initiated impeachment. They said that Zhang Tingyu's supervision of the case would definitely cover Dai Mingshi, and implored the emperor to revoke Zhang Tingyu. Authority to oversee the case.

In fact, Zhang Tingyu wished more than anyone else that he had never had such power, but he also knew that Kangxi would not satisfy his wishes and those of his officials.

All the emperor needs is a knife, a dog who can do things, and does not allow any disobedience from the people below.

He can be a Mingjun, but first of all, he is a "jun".

Zhao Shenqiao just arrested all the people involved in "Nanshan Collection", and tortured them to force everyone to confess.

Zhang Tingyu handed over the papers to the court many times, but the emperor just stayed and didn't send them out, and he didn't mean to reprimand Zhao Shenqiao at all.

At such a time, one cannot even say a word of refutation, and the emperor would not listen to it.

After the emperor stopped reading the three excerpts in a row, what else did Zhang Tingyu not understand?

Dai Mingshi and others are in the prison, Zhang Tingyu is not allowed to visit, but can only interrogate the others, and cannot take a step closer to the prison.

Years passed in a blink of an eye, and the entire Jiangnan Shilin in the capital was in panic, fearing that the "Nanshan Collection" literary prison would harm themselves, they all closed their doors to thank guests, and lived like hermits.But there are also literati who commented on "Nanshan Collection", because they were too frightened, they were frightened to death in the house, which shows how many people are terrified by this matter all day long.

From the people in the same class as Dai Mingshi in the capital to the people who had friends with him, which one would not suffer?

Zhang Tingyu was in a difficult situation, knowing that Dai Mingshi must die.

Zhao Shenqiao's misinterpreted words can also make Kangxi murderous. It can be seen that he doesn't understand, he just wants to kill chickens and monkeys.

Few people are paying attention to the matter of the examination now, because Dai Nanshan's case has been widely involved, and few scholars devote themselves to studying, so they all pay attention to Dai Nanshan's case.

Everyone said that Dai Mingshi was a rebellious official and a traitor, not to mention his own rebellious heart, but he would drag so many people into the water, his heart would be punishable.

Among the old friends in the past, there were not a few people who threatened to cut off righteousness with Dai Mingshi, but Dai Mingshi would never know about it.

As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month came out, the criminal case files were submitted. From Zhang Tingyu's side, there were as many as [-] people involved in the case. If the investigation continued like a snowball, how could it be another catastrophe?
Zhang Tingyu went to Zhao Shenqiao's room with the file, sat down on the armchair, and said, ""Nanshan Collection" quoted articles written by Southerners in the late Ming Dynasty. These people lived in the Chongzhen period in the late Ming Dynasty. Why were they arrested by Mr. Zhao? up?"

Books written before the Qing army entered the customs, or books that have been written for many years, all of which must be arrested. How many literati in the entire Qing Dynasty will be involved in it?

Zhang Tingyu was not very polite, and now he is too lazy to be polite: "Master Zhao, you want to make people panic, so as to show your prestige? Hurry up tomorrow, Zhang is also looking for a book by you, and he must read every word carefully. Quoting scriptures to discuss..."

"Hmph, Zhang Tingyu, don't think that you can threaten me with this."

Zhao Shenqiao has come to this point. When Dai Mingshi made rebellious words before, he himself did not expect it to be so easy. Anyway, Dai Mingshi is also the second place, but when it comes to the case more than 40 years ago, he It became somewhat clear that the Shen family must have had grievances back then, but the emperor wanted him to die, so the Shen family ransacked and beheaded, leaving no one alive.How can Zhang Tingyu, a minister, stop such killing methods?

"Look more clearly, it's not me, Zhao Shenqiao, who wants them to die now, it's the emperor who wants them to pay for their rebellious words. I, Zhao Shenqiao, only arrest people related to "Nanshan Ji". Mr. Zhang, don’t scare me with alarmist words!”

"Snapped."

Zhang Tingyu threw the dossier on the table, and fixedly looked at Zhao Shenqiao, "Just because you hate Zhao Xiongzhao's champion, are you going to kill all my disciples?"

"Master Zhang, Mr. Zhao never exterminated all your disciples. He wanted to die, and he wanted to die." At this time, Zhao Shenqiao had to say what he had said before, "The lower officials are doing things for the emperor. There is no selfishness in the slightest! This heart, this feeling, the world can learn from!"

Zhang Tingyu pursed his lips slowly, with a three-pointed ruthlessness hidden in the coldness, he just continued word by word: "If there is any selfishness, the sky will be struck by lightning, and all children and grandchildren will be cut off, and the whole family will be destroyed."

After finishing speaking, he watched Zhao Shenqiao stand up suddenly, pointing at himself speechless.

Since you have no selfish intentions, why are you afraid of such a poisonous oath?

Zhang Tingyu really couldn't sit still for a moment, but today he had to bring a file to the palace to report to the emperor.

At this time of the year, Zhang Tingyu unjustly killed Zhu Cihuan, and now Zhu Cihuan will be replaced by his disciple.

After leaving the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Zhang Tingyu just went to Zhang's house now. He returned to his study and wrote a note, only asking the emperor to save Dai Mingshi's life. How could such a talented person be attached to such absurdity Is it all here?
Zhang Tingyu was really not reconciled.

It's just that when I write, I inevitably feel slow, and even have a feeling that I can't continue writing.

Kangxi didn't send out so many envelopes before, maybe he didn't want to see Zhang Tingyu's envelopes at all.

But as Mr. Dai Mingshi, no matter what happens to him after handing over the booklet, he still has to hand it over.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, when he entered the palace to meet the emperor, Kangxi took Zhang Tingyu's note, glanced at it, and threw it down: "I said earlier that anyone who dares to refute the rebellious ministers and thieves will be treated with Dai Mingyu." The world is guilty of the same crime! It is said that the salary of the emperor, he Dai Mingshi also entered the Imperial Academy, and dared to make such treasonous words, I will never tolerate it!"

There are quite a few ministers below, kneeling and kowtowing to confess their crimes, shouting "The emperor is angry", for the first time, Zhang Tingyu found it so difficult to kneel down.

Zhao Shenqiao reported: "The case of "Nanshan Ji" was written by 41 people, and there were more than [-] people who annotated and quoted in the collection. Among them, Fang Bao and others should sit dead. .”

When Li Guangdi heard this, he felt that Zhao Shenqiao was too vicious.

Dai Mingshi's writing a book is the main crime, but Ling Chi's execution is cruel. Kuang Fangbao's talent has always been admired by Li Guangdi. Hundreds of people are involved in this case, most of them are Zhang Tingyu's disciples...

Those who commit minor crimes must be exiled, those who are more serious will be executed, and those who are more serious will be tortured. If they are really implicated, hundreds of people will lose their heads for this case, which will only cause unrest in the government and the public.

Li Guangdi glanced at Zhang Tingyu, only to see that this junior had lowered his head and clenched his fists, clearly suppressing something, but he couldn't say a word.

Zhang Ying, a son who has always listened to his father's teachings, is the most capable of becoming a master. If he can't help it now, his future will be ruined.

For a while, Li Guangdi didn't know what to do.

But seeing the important ministers in the court, none of them dared to speak out, it was extremely chilling.

The first one to stand up and second was the current head of the Imperial Academy. Once Zhang Tingyu came back, his position as the head of the academy would be difficult to secure. Originally, he came up to fill the vacancy when Zhang Tingyu was worried. Now if he disappears easily, how can he be reconciled? ?
"I think what Zhao Yushi said is very true, and I second my opinion."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

"..."

Gradually, more than half of the people in the court seconded the proposal, and Dai Mingshi, Fang Bao and others could not escape death.

Zhang Tingyu just listened like this, raised his hand, and seemed to want to say something, but suddenly a voice sounded at the head of the row: "Long live my emperor, the old minister dare not second."

Li Guangdi's words immediately quieted down the Jinluan Palace, which was still boiling with the sound of seconding the proposal just now.

Everyone looked at Li Guangdi, Zhao Shenqiao even raised his hand and said, "Scholar Li, what objection do you have?"

Zhao Shenqiao was still Li Guangdi's protégé, so he raised his hand to point at Li Guangdi?
Li Guangdi suddenly smiled, bent his body, and said slowly: "Dai Mingshi's crime is unforgivable, but the case is very involved and the judgment is cruel. If a hundred people were executed and two hundred people were exiled, the government and the public would be greatly shocked. Such bloody massacres will surely provoke a backlash from Jiangnan scholars. The old ministers believe that only small punishments and large warnings can show the emperor's might."

Kangxi did not speak for a long time, glanced at Li Guangdi, then at Zhang Tingyu, who had been silent all this time, and asked, "What do you love?"

Zhao Shenqiao was the first to speak out: "Such rebellious officials and thieves should be killed if there are any, so as to consolidate the great cause of my ancestors in the Qing Dynasty!"

"The minister seconded what Master Li said."

"The minister also agrees..."

In the end, it was all grass on the wall, and the situation became unclear in an instant.

Seeing more and more people who seconded the proposal, Zhao Shenqiao felt a little at a loss.

The case involved a lot, and he was just thinking about the emperor's thoughts, but he didn't dare to say that he knew the emperor better than Li Guangdi. My lord has a very close personal relationship, how can I know that he is not speaking well of Zhang Tingyu's disciples? Zhang Tingyu himself was involved in this case, and dared to promote Dai Mingshi, so that such a rebellious person was elected as the Hanlin, it is hard to escape the blame! If you can't treat him with justice In this case, why arrest the party?!"

This is to take Zhang Tingyu into surgery.

Zhang Tingyu knew better than anyone else that he was the one who was unlucky after this one. He was speechless, and it was the first time in so many years that he didn't want to say a word.

Kangxi had heard enough of everyone talking, and finally took a look at the list of so many people lined up on the imperial case.

He also knew that the case involved a lot, but he couldn't tolerate the person who violated his taboo: "The Nanshan case was first initiated by Dai Mingshi. This person committed a heinous crime, and his death penalty is unavoidable. Thinking that he was once a talented person, Taste into Hanlin, so as not to be angry, only to be executed. "Nanshan Ji" quoted Fang Xiaobiao's "Dianqian Jiwen", and then checked "Dianqian Jiwen". For the rest of the case, those who are sitting dead will be changed, and those who are exiled will be changed, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will be responsible for each one, and I will investigate."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

After all, there is still no room for Dai Mingshi?

Zhang Tingyu was cold all over, and his fingers were terribly stiff.

This is equivalent to refuting Zhao Shenqiao's face, how can he bear it?
Zhao Shenqiao immediately came out and said: "If Zhang Tingyu hadn't obstructed and covered up this matter, the case should have been resolved long ago. He has a lot of good words for Dai Mingshi, how do you know that he is not the same crime?"

Zhang Tingyu also has many enemies in the court, just because he is the emperor's party, everyone can't figure it out and can't win, it is common for him to fall into trouble at the moment.

Immediately, many people seconded it, it was nothing more than Zhang Tingyu's inability to get rid of the relationship between himself and Dai Mingshi.

Kangxi only said: "It's not that I don't have such concerns. If so, I will order Zhang Tingyu to execute Dai Mingshi in the court tomorrow!"

Zhang Tingyu, tomorrow, Dai Mingshi will be executed by the court supervisor...

What an interesting sentence.

When Zhang Tingyu buried his head, he even smiled slightly, with a calm and humble expression, he knelt down after receiving the order, and kowtowed to Kangxi: "Minister, Zhang Tingyu, accept the order."

The massacre seems to be fading like this. The matter of Fang Bao is still undecided, but judging from the emperor's attitude towards Zhang Tingyu, he should know that he will not fall.

When the court was over, Zhang Tingyu walked out of the Golden Luan Hall step by step, only to feel that the cold wind would fill his whole body as soon as he went out, making the mending clothes on his body like the wind and snow outside.

It's freezing cold...

It is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the year again.

Li Guangdi followed, and only sighed: "Heng Chen, let him go as he should, the emperor can't tolerate him."

"Thousands of people in the world are his subjects, even those who sit down can be forgiven, but there is no room for Dai Nanshan..."

Zhang Tingyu smiled, but bowed to Li Guangdi and saluted: "Tingyu is very grateful for Mrs. Li's words today, and he will repay him with a knot in the future."

After speaking, he left by himself.

Li Guangdi looked at Zhang Tingyu's back in the wind and snow from behind, and suddenly remembered that when he was the first passer in the pilot test, his colleague Zhang Ying just supported the white marble fence outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, crying all the way out of the palace...

Li Guangdi thought, he was old too, how could he recall such irrelevant things?

That night, Zhang Tingyu did not fall asleep, nor did he return to his room.

Before dawn the next day, the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was already full of voices, everyone knew that Dai Mingshi was going to be executed today, and the famous man in the capital in the past was shackled and shackled.

"Crash..."

The anklet rubbed against the ground, and when Dai Mingshi passed by, he saw Fang Bao.

Fang Linggao in Tongcheng was never a romantic figure, but now he can only cry bitterly and cannot control himself.

Dai Mingshi smiled and said: "Everyone is mortal, and we only strive for sooner or later, so we must care? Today, Dai Mingshi goes to the guillotine, and it will be recorded in the annals of history!"

After speaking, he really laughed and went to the execution ground.

The snow was heavy, and when he knelt on the guillotine, Dai Mingshi felt his body and mind were empty.

He remembered that he no longer wanted to enter the imperial examinations back then. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Zhang Tingyuhui's eyes, and he was named on the gold list and rode a horse to tour the Golden Street. The beautiful scenery of the past passed before him...

But when he heard the sound of "Please be promoted to the supervisor", Dai Mingshi looked up and suddenly became a little dazed.

Zhang Tingyu slowly sat in front of the execution ground, and the person kneeling on the guillotine was his former disciple.

He suddenly began to regret, if Dai Mingshi hadn't fallen in love with Dai Mingshi back then, could Dai Mingshi have avoided the disaster of killing himself today and just traveled around the world as his wanderer?

All blunders have been made and cannot be undone.

Dai Mingshi only thought it was like a dream, he also saw the divine light in Zhang Tingyu's eyes, and he had heard many things in prison.

Now that noon was approaching, Dai Mingshi only kowtowed to Zhang Tingyu three times, and when he spoke loudly, the entire practice field was silent inside and out.

In the snowstorm, Dai Mingshi said: "I, Dai Mingshi, look up to Mr. Bole for his kindness, but I dare not repay him. Mr. Dai Mingshi is grateful for the great kindness. There are very few people in the world who can get a confidant. Mingshi regards Mr. as his teacher and friend. Today’s matter is related to "Nanshan Collection", and it is a great fortune not to implicate Mr. today. Today, I am worthy of the sky, and I am not ashamed of others. I only use the blood of Mingshi to prove this matter and prove this way !"

"Master Zhang... it's time for execution..."

A guard next to him reminded me.

Zhang Tingyu slowly lifted the lottery in his hand, feeling that it was as heavy as a thousand catties, and when Dai Mingshi kowtowed again, he finally raised his hand to issue the lottery.

"Snapped!"

The wooden stick fell on the ground, and the executioner raised the knife and dropped it. With a sound of "Zi La", Dai Mingshi was decapitated!
Zhang Tingyu only saw the blood spattered three feet, staining red and snow white on the guillotine.

He never blinked, just engraved this scene in his heart.

How many people think that Zhang Tingyu is ruthless and selfless when he personally ordered to kill his own disciple?

Zhang Tingyu didn't even know how he returned home. He sat in the study and looked at the three words left by Zhang Ying: "loyalty, foolishness, virtuous..."

Loyalty, foolishness and virtuousness are the way of being an official.

He raised his hand, lightly crossed the word "loyalty" with two strokes.
