Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 175 Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng

Wang Shizhen is two years older than Yang Lianxu.He and Yang Lian are good friends in the same subject, and they are also at the same table at the Jinbang Banquet. The two have always regarded each other as confidants.

Wang Shizhen knew that Yang Lian sent someone to look for him in the middle of the night, there must be something serious.He didn't dare to neglect, and rode a small sedan chair to Yang Lian's courtyard.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Wang Shizhen saw the willow veneer coffin.

"Brother Yang, what are you doing?" Wang Shizhen asked.

Yang Lian smiled and said, "I am a dying person, so naturally I have to prepare the coffin."

Wang Shizhen glanced at the booklet on the table under the memorial tablet of Kong Yan Shenggong, and his complexion changed: "Brother Yang, do you want to die?"

Yang Lian nodded: "Yes."

Wang Shizhen asked: "What is it that you want to admonish the emperor with death?"

Yang Lian said: "Join two people."

Wang Shizhen asked again: "Who is participating?"

Yang Lian smiled at Wang Shizhen: "Brother Wang, who do you think I can join?"

Wang Shizhen took a breath: "You want to join Yan Song and his son? Let me advise you, don't try to fight a fire like a moth. I am a member of Prince Yu, so naturally I don't like Yan Song and his father and son. But have you ever thought about it?" This time, He Liu of the Jinyiwei reported the food and ink corruption case to the emperor, but the emperor only punished Xue Yang, and did not pursue the responsibility of Yan Song and his son. This shows that the emperor has not made up his mind to get rid of Yan Song and Yan Shifan! If you don’t make up your mind, it’s useless even if you write [-] scriptures. You’re just asking for trouble.”

Yang Lian said calmly: "You don't go to join Yan Song, I don't go to join Yan Song, and he doesn't go to join Yan Song. Could it be that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are going to sit back and watch Yan Song and his son continue to make trouble for the court? If so, the father and son will sooner or later The Ming Dynasty has been tossed and perish! The state affairs have fallen like this, and the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty have starved to death. The reason is that the government is not correct! The government is not correct, because the traitor party seizes power! A moth of fire. I hope that my death will make the emperors in the civil and military courts and Yongshou Palace understand: If the strict party is not eradicated, the country will not be governed!"

Wang Shizhen smiled wryly: "Brother Yang, you have just been promoted to be the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Are you going to die when the fourth-rank chair is not warm? You live at the foot of the emperor, so you naturally dislike Yan Song and his son. How about this , out of sight is pure. I wrote a letter to Hu Zongxian, asking him to ask for an order to transfer you to Jiangnan. It doesn’t matter if you are a Taoist priest or a magistrate, it’s better than watching that dog father and son harm Zhongliang and disturb Chaogang in the capital. .”

Yang Lian waved his hand: "I won't take advantage of Hu Zongxian. Don't forget, Yan Song is his teacher! I've made up my mind. Brother Wang, it's not the first day you know me. What I want to do, Even nine cows can't pull it back."

Wang Shizhen sighed: "Since you have made up your mind, why are you still looking for me tonight?"

Yang Lian got up, cupped his hands and said, "I have one thing to ask, and another thing to return to you."

Wang Shizhen is a smart person.He said: "Brother Yang, do you want me to bring your family to Shandong? Don't worry, Shandong is our own territory. The governor, chief envoy, and envoy are all from Prince Yu. I can keep them safe." .”

Yang Lian made a bow to Wang Shizhen: "Then thank you, Brother Wang!"

Yang Lian turned around and went to the study room. After a while, he returned to the main room with a manuscript.

On the cover of this manuscript is written three big characters "Jin Ping Mei".

Yang Lian said: "I've already finished reading the "Jin Ping Mei" written by Brother Wang. It's interesting, very interesting. The Ximen official that Brother Wang wrote is actually alluding to Yan Shifan, right?"

Wang Shizhen smiled and said, "Yang Lian also knows me!"

Yang Lian said again: "You didn't sign your own name, but signed 'Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng'. Shandong Lanling is your ancestral home. But what does Xiaoxiaosheng mean?"

Wang Shizhen sighed: "I have no ambition to serve the country. However, the treacherous party is in power, and King Yu wants to reuse me, but I can't reuse it. I can only watch the world with a smile."

Yang Lian said: "That's how it is. If I submit this paper, I will definitely lose my position, dismiss from office, lose my head, and even have my house confiscated. I have finished reading this manuscript, so I return it to Brother Wang, so as not to be copied."

Wang Shizhen took the manuscript: "Okay. By the way, Brother Yang, can I have a look at your memorial?"

Yang Lian handed the memorial to Wang Shizhen.

Wang Shizhen watched the memorial carefully.First, he said three "Okay!"

Then, his complexion changed: "Brother Yang, although your memorial contains all the five traitors and ten crimes of the strict party, there is one place that will endanger the foundation of our Ming Dynasty.

Wang Shizhen pointed to the place on the booklet, which read, "May Your Majesty listen to the minister's blunt words, investigate the treachery of Yan Song and his son, or call Yu Wang."

Wang Shizhen said: "You let the emperor summon King Yu and ask about the treachery and sinisterness of Yan Song and his son. This will make the emperor think that King Yu is the backstage who ordered you to go to this book. Prince Yu is the crown prince, and he ordered people to impeach the emperor's favorite ministers. Will the emperor think that King Yu has two minds?"

Yang Lian smiled and said: "Don't worry. I have already thought about how to get rid of the relationship between King Yu and me."

Wang Shizhen nodded: "It seems that Brother Yang has a plan in mind. Oh, it's all right. Brother Yang, it's getting late, I should go. I——I'm not as good as you!"

Yang Lian stared at the back of his confidant Wang Shizhen.He thought to himself: This farewell should be a farewell forever.See you in the next life, my brother Sejeong.

Indeed, compared with Yang Lian, Wang Shizhen lacks the courage to fight to the death.As a "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng", he only dared to write books, in which he ridiculed Yan Shifan.

Yang Lian is ready to give up his official position and his life to complete the great cause that must die.

In fact, he could already predict the end of the death remonstrance.The emperor kept his record, and many minions of the strict party took part in his false accusation, torture by Jin Yiwei, imperial prison or detention in the prison of the Ministry of punishment. . .The strict party has deep roots, and he can't even expect to escape death.Because he knew that there would be ten deaths and no life to meet him.

However, Yang Lian decided to do it anyway.

Knowing that it is impossible to do it, let me, Yang Lian, be the innocent child who boldly pointed out that the king of Ju State was naked thousands of years ago!

It usually takes extraordinary courage to fly a moth to a flame.

In the north of the city, Deyun Building.The entire Deyun Building has been taken over by Jin Yiwei.

At this moment, more than a hundred households from Jinyiwei gathered in Deyun Building.

This banquet is to celebrate Liu Dagao's promotion of Jinyiwei to command Zuo Tongzhi, He Er Gaosheng's Jinyiwei to command You Tongzhi, old Hu Gaosheng's Jinyiwei to command Zuo Qianshi, and Lu Bing's eldest son "Shao Ying" - Lu Wei Gaosheng Jinyiwei to command You It's a matter.

Lu Bing raised his wine glass and said: "The dog is young and energetic, and has no experience in handling cases alone. He became the Fourth Taibao, and then took over the Youqin job. This is the emperor's grace. I, Lu Bing, hereby offer you a glass and hope you all Help Lu Si a lot in the future."

After becoming the Thirteenth Taibao, he had to give up his previous name.Today's Lu Wei has become Lu Si.There were many rumors in Jin Yiwei that the emperor intended for his son to inherit his father's position and take over as commander in the future.

All the Taibao masters raised their glasses together: "Commander, don't worry, we will do our best to assist Fourth Master!"

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Xu Qi, deputy inspector of thousand households, Fatty Xu said: "Commander, something strange happened yesterday."

The duty of Jin Yiwei is to monitor the officials, so naturally they have to keep a large number of eyes and ears.Fatty Xu is supposed to be the deputy inspector of thousands of households, and he is in charge of many eyes and ears of Jinyiwei spread across two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Lu Bing said, "What's so strange?"

While gnawing on a duck leg, Fatty Xu said, "Yang Lian, the new censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, went to Fulu Street to buy a coffin."
