Idle courtiers

Chapter 420 Unseen Gentleman (seeking ticket)
Zhou Nan cleared his throat and read: "Like the constant moon, like the rising of the sun. Like the longevity of Nanshan Mountain, it will neither grow nor collapse. Like the luxuriance of pines and cypresses, everything will be inherited."

As soon as he finished reading, Huang Jin's eyes in the shadows brightened, and he looked over with admiration.

This kind of questioning and interpretation of scriptures is a common occurrence among scholars.

Jiajing's words come from "Morning Wind" in "Book of Songs". On the surface, it seems that Zhou Nan is asking Zhou Nan to write a stereotyped essay based on the meaning of the scriptures.

But with such a big case, how could Long Live Lord have the mood to let Zhou Nan, the client, make a fuss.

If Zhou Nan went in without knowing it, he would be dragged out by the eunuchs and beaten to death with a court stick.

This kid is really amazing!

Teacher Huang Jin gave a thumbs up to Teacher Xiao Zhou in his heart.

There is an allusion in Jiajing's "Morning Wind", which tells the story of the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty in the late Spring and Autumn Period.At that time, the Jin State was the largest country in the Spring and Autumn Period, ruling the vast lands of Shanxi, Henan, and Hebei in later generations.Later, Han, Zhao, and Wei divided up the state of Jin. This political event marked the beginning of the Warring States Period.

After Wei Wenhou destroyed the Zhongshan Kingdom at that time, he entrusted the land to his son Wei Jian and appointed him as Zhongshan Lord.Wei Wenhou was busy with government affairs, and the father and son could not greet each other and visit each other for three consecutive years.

As a result, there were rumors that there was a problem in the relationship between father and son, and Mr. Zhongshan was worried about it.

Once, when Marquis Wen met Zhongshan Jun as his subordinates, he asked what Zhongshan Jun was doing now.
Let me answer that I am reading.

What book are you reading?

The messenger replied that Mr. Zhongshan was reading the Book of Songs, and he especially liked the poem "Morning Wind".

The meaning of this poem is that in the evening, a bird named Morrowind galloped past and settled in the lush forest.So far, I have not seen it, and I am full of worry.What happened, that I forgot all about it!
After reading these poems, Wei Wenhou said with emotion: "Does Mr. Zhongshan think that I have forgotten him?" The emissary said: "No, it's just that he misses you often."

Wei Wenhou went on to recite the poem "Shu Li":

The other millet is Lili, the seedling of the other millet.Walking is extravagant, the center is shaking.

Those who know me say that my heart is worried, and those who do not know me say that I am looking for something.

The sky is long, who is this!
It means, look at the millet growing neatly, and look at the sorghum seedlings growing.I walked slowly, because my mind was restless, and my heart was full of sorrow.Those who can understand me know that it is the sorrow in my heart that makes me like this; those who don't understand me ask me what I am pursuing, and think that I have some strong desire.High heavens, why do people misunderstand me like this?
When the words reached his ears, Mr. Zhongshan dispelled the doubts in his heart, and went back to the country by car to visit his father.

The love between father and son can continue.

At this moment, Jiajing suddenly read this poem, the intention was not to ask Zhou Nan to do stereotyped essays to test his knowledge.The meaning in it is about the relationship between father and son, as well as one's own worries and sorrows.

Jiajing's heirs are difficult, only two sons.

Now on the surface of this case, it seems that all the evidence and doubts point to King Jing.

However, he is the emperor's own flesh and blood after all, if he really wants to be investigated, is it possible to kill him?

But if it is not dealt with, how can the law of the country exist?

From the bottom of his heart, he wanted to show off the king, but he couldn't say that.

After reading this poem, Zhou Nan remembered the thought he had on the road, and instantly understood the emperor's intentions.

He smiled wryly in his heart: This Jiajing likes to play charades, but he wants to talk about something else in his mind, let you guess.It's fine if you guess correctly, but if you don't guess correctly, you are in bad luck.The reason why Yan Song was favored back then was not because Xiao Yan was a master at guessing riddles.

He just wanted to use my mouth to convey his will to the person who tried the case, well, I'll take the job.

After trying to figure out Jiajing's thoughts, Zhou Nan also responded with a poem.

This sentence is "as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun. Like the longevity of Nanshan, it will neither grow nor collapse. Like the luxuriance of pines and cypresses, there will be no failure or inheritance." Also from the "Book of Songs", the name "Tianbao" is the spring and autumn when the minister is the king Do it when you celebrate your birthday.

It means "Your Majesty is as eternal as the sun and the moon, as immortal as the Nanshan pine tree, and enjoys immortal blessings forever."

If His Majesty punishes King Jing and kills each other, and lives an unhappy life in his later years, we courtiers will also feel sad.

In any case, the flesh and blood of the Tian family must be preserved.

This is also the duty of the minister.

Lords of the case, don't you have the heart to let the emperor approve of King Zhujing's paper?

Can you bear the consequences?
Seeing Zhou Nan kneeling on the ground, Huang Jin seemed to see Yan Shifan back then in a trance, and the shrewdness that came out of his bones could not be concealed no matter what.

Jiajing was silent for a moment: "Zhou Nan, don't you know about this case, so let me ask you, why do you want to send Na Kongming to see King Yu?"

Zhou Nan: "Facts have proved that King Yu was wronged for the matter of raising money for the family, and the minister was wronged and couldn't say it." He hurriedly told the whole story of the case from beginning to end.

Jiajing said slowly: "If the assassin's target is King Yu, why did he attack Shizi brazenly when he saw Shizi? It's not because Shizi is a child and easy to succeed. The facts are already clear. Kong Ming has no specific target. His intention is Make things bigger and get out of hand. It doesn't matter whether the person he assassinated is King Yu or the prince."

"The emperor is holy." Zhou Nan almost gave the emperor a thumbs up. He was indeed a king with the top three schemes, and he could see through the essence of this case at a glance.

Jiajing didn't wait for Zhou Nan to say more, and danced his sleeves, the long sleeves were wrapped around his wrists.

Huang Jin waved to the outside, and two eunuchs ran in, carried Zhou Nan on their backs and left.

Wait until Zhou Nan is escorted away.

Huang Jin scooped up another spoonful of yellow mineral powder and poured it into the alchemy furnace. Sparks flew around and the hall lit up.

Jiajing: "Transfer this case to the Dongji Incident Factory, and let the Beiya Office handle it!" After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes.

"Yes, sir."

Jiajing's voice came again: "This case should have nothing to do with Zhou Nan. He should be removed from his official position and detained in the Daolu Department. He will be convicted after the case is over."

"Yes, master." Huang Jin retreated slowly.

As the eunuch who served the emperor for more than 20 years, he naturally knew what the emperor was thinking, and he was also a master at guessing riddles.

If the case was investigated by Jin Yiwei, it would be a formal legal process.If King Jing is involved accidentally, how can His Majesty feel so embarrassed?
Although Jin Yiwei is said to be the Son of Heaven's pro-army, the officials inside are all sons of nobles, so they may not have other ideas.To put it bluntly, the Ming Dynasty is a big business, and His Majesty is certainly the big owner with an absolute stake, but other nobles are also shareholders with shares.

It's not like Dongchang is just the emperor's domestic slave, and everything is done according to the emperor's wishes.

The case is transferred there so that the situation will not get out of control.

As for not locking Zhou Nan in the East Factory, it is estimated that the emperor also knew that Zhou Nan and Chen Hong had a feud.If you really shut him up there, he might be punished to death.

The emperor may not care about Zhou Nan's life or death.However, once Lord Zhou died, all the evidence would point to King Jing, so what should we do?

The royal family wants to be decent, and it is impossible to go to the officials who are adjudicating the case and say that this matter has nothing to do with King Jing, and even if it does, it is not allowed to talk about it.

Everything needs to be supported by Zhou Nan's confession. He has already guessed the emperor's mind, so he naturally knows what to do next.
