Chapter 132

"It's fine if you don't retreat."

Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

I don't know if it was like this in the original history. Anyway, in this life, Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Yijun became more and more popular the more he used him, and he didn't want Zhang Juzheng to retire now.

Because of the absence of Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng in this life has instead become his political ally.

Therefore, in Zhu Yijun's heart, he wished that Zhang Juzheng's vision could really be realized, that is, all the reforms that he wanted to do that were extremely difficult to complete would be completed during his tenure as chief assistant.

In this way, he, the emperor, can really pretend to be a sage and benevolent lord for a lifetime in front of the bureaucrats of the world.

It's just that Zhu Yijun didn't expect that his Mr. Zhang actually thought of becoming an official because he was a little too aggressive these days.

However, fortunately, Zhang Juzheng has been put on the stove. Even if he wants to retire, the reformers behind him don't want him to do so.

After all, Emperor Zhu Yijun is not the only one who has selfish intentions.

Other reformers also have selfish intentions, and they all want Zhang Juzheng to stand in front of them. Then, while doing things that benefit the country and the people, they can also explain that when the officials and gentry are dissatisfied, they are only acting on Yuansuke's order. People are in the arena, can't help themselves, and didn't take the opportunity to over-implement the New Deal, which is considered to be taking care of the feelings of you officials and gentry.

Of course, Zhang Juzheng does have more prestige and methods in terms of public interest.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng was persuaded by other reformist officials before he wrote his begging book.

Zhu Yijun couldn't help feeling sorry for Zhang Juzheng.

He had to admit that it was very difficult for Zhang Juzheng to withdraw even if he wanted to retreat now.

Zhu Yijun still felt that regardless of whether Zhang Juzheng could withdraw in the future, as for whether he would be settled by Qiuhou, the key depended on what he, the emperor, would do now.

Zhu Yijun decided to continue to work hard to avoid that in the future, he would be forced by the bureaucracy to treat Zhang Juzheng and his teacher with ruthless and ungrateful actions, which would not only damage his royal face, but also indirectly damage his value. The majesty in the heart of a scholar-official with a dignified teacher.

While Zhang Juzheng was discouraged from begging by his colleagues, He Xinyin was also taken to prison.

"what!"

As soon as He Xinyin, who was under heavy shackles, entered the dark and deep prison, he felt as if someone was cutting his bones with ice skates.

At the same time, he also heard screams coming from the darkness, and suddenly felt a tremor in his body, and he couldn't help asking the Jin Yiwei who was guarding him:

"Is this really a good place to study?"

"I said! I said!"

"I protect the noble people, I don't know their fields, and I made up the number of Qingzhang. It is true that I received not only 3 taels of silver, but also 5 taels. hometown!"

"It's to help me be promoted to inspector sooner in the future. Please forgive me, woohoo! I was really wrong, and I don't dare to do it again!"

"I really regret it now. I shouldn't just read the books of sages and not practice the principles of sages."

"I lost the demeanor that a gentleman should have, and I was ashamed of my father. I couldn't control my selfish desires, and I couldn't control my slaves."

"I really regret it! I shouldn't have restrained myself after the implementation of the examination method, and I shouldn't have cherished the first-class medal for integrity that I was awarded as the magistrate! Huh!"

Soon, the crying came closer and closer, so He Xinyin clearly saw a person being beaten to pieces in a cell, and asked, "Who is this person?"

"The original Huining army prepares Daocheng Gongchen! He received heavy bribes from Huizhou merchants, and in the matter of Qingzhang, the party protected the big Huizhou households."

Zhai Rujing, the official of Jinyiwei who was in charge of contacting He Xinyin, appeared behind He Xinyin at this time, and replied in a deep voice.

"He is a member of my Wang Xuezhong. Although he doesn't believe in eliminating human desires, he has indeed forgotten about ascetic desires and abstinence. It is too late to regret at this time."

He Xinyin replied accordingly.

"I disregarded the established laws and regulations, and acted on my own desires, so that I have fallen to this point today. The lesson is not painful!"

"I'm just asking Zhu Tishuai to stop interrogating like this. The leather guards really lost a tael of stolen money, really lost it!"

"Even if you pinch off the leather guard's fingers, it's gone! Woohoo!"

Not long after, He Xinyin saw the arrested corrupt official being interrogated disheveled and unkempt, and before he was caught, he was already crying heartbreakingly.

"This is Su Feng, the former Yunnan inspector censor, who was impeached by the governor for corruption, and he also impeached the governor for his ineffectiveness. In the end, Jin Yiwei stationed in Yunnan found out that it was his problem, not the governor's problem."

Zhai Rujing said to He Xinyin.

He Xinyin nodded after hearing this: "It seems that the emperor is actually right. This is indeed a good place to study, and we can see the current situation of many fallen officials."

Not long after, He Xinyin was taken to a cell with a window.

And Zhai Rujing asked people to put the Four Treasures of the Study on the wooden table in He Xinyin's cell, and took the shackles for He Xinyin, and said, "Write down all your party members."

He Xinyin really took the pen, dipped in the ink, laid out the paper, and started writing.

"Yan Shannong, Luo Rufang, Hu Xiaowen, Cheng Xuebo, Liu Quexian, Wang Changgeng..."

Zhai Rujing read the names written by He Xinyin, and asked He Xinyin in surprise, "Wait, you are no longer under the Yanshan Nongmen, why are you also listed?"

"Saving one is saving, and saving a hundred is also saving."

"Simply, I will list all these great Confucians who love to lecture among the people, are quite famous, and I know, and let you catch them!"

"So that in the future their knowledge will not be corrected and harm people among the people!"

"I have a big problem with Taoism, so don't they have a big problem with their knowledge?"

He Xinyin said, "It's like burning books to torture Confucians. One Confucianism is a trap, and a hundred Confucianism is also a trap. Since we want to establish a new Taoism, we will simply be a trap!"

"To save you Jin Yiwei from finding them in trouble, after all, they are protected by local gentry, and their whereabouts are uncertain, but I know where they are, and I have contacts with them, so I can tell the places they like to go and the places of people they like. Tell you."

Zhai Rujing sneered after hearing this: "You scholars are more ruthless than our Jin Yiwei! Many of you are close friends with you, are you really betrayed?"

He Xinyin said: "I said it was to save them! Let them know when they lost their way: Ti Shuai, as a close minister of the emperor, should he deny the holy will?"

After hearing this, Zhai Rujing couldn't help feeling chills down his back, and hurriedly said: "What are you talking about! Just list as many as you want, and I will catch as many as Jin Yiwei, and I will personally ask for credit for you!"

"Thank you Ti Shuai!"

He Xin replied with a smile, and wrote the names of Li Zhi and Xu Kun.

Zhai Rujing was surprised again after watching it: "Mr. Xu's second son is also a traitor?"

He Xinyin nodded: "How dare Xiaomin weave at will? He is the Xu family, the eldest is in the official career, the second is a scholar, and each has his own assignment. Without the support of Xu Ershe on behalf of the Xu family, we can have money to give lectures everywhere? Xiaomin is sincere. Confession, I didn’t dare to mess around!”

After speaking, He Xinyin asked again: "Besides, why should Ti Shuai worry, everything is proved by Xiaomin's own handwriting, and Ti Shuai just took people according to Xiaomin's offer. If Shilin wanted to hate, he would only hate Xiaomin, hate not on your head."

Zhai Rujing thought that he was a Jinyiwei, so it was really not easy to ask about these things, so he only told Qianhu, a Jinyiwei next to him:

"Take people directly according to the list! This is arranged by the oracle, and it must not be ignored, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

At this time, He Xinyin's friend and fellow scholar Hu Shiwen was very anxious because He Xinyin was taken away by Jin Yiwei, and came directly to the Nanzhi Guild Hall.

Liu Quexian and Wang Changgeng couldn't bear to leave because of He Xinyin's arrest, so they all followed Hu Shiwen to the Nanzhi Guild Hall.

Hu Shiwen met Qin Deng, the son of Qin Liang, the former Jiangxi Zuo Buzheng, in the Nanzhi Guild Hall, and talked about it to him.

Qin Deng was also taken aback when he heard this, and then said: "I'll take you to see Mr. Zhang Ge, the second assistant! Now, we can only see if he, Zhang Puzhou, can lend a helping hand! He has a good relationship with the Xu family. , and Zhang Jiangling's confidant, he should be able to help."

"Thank you!"

Hu Shiwen walked towards Zhang Siwei's mansion together with Liu Quexian, Wang Changgeng and Qin Deng as he said that.

But as soon as they came out, a group of Jinyi Wei Tiqi stopped them and asked, "Is there a man named Hu Shiwen here?"

Qin Deng hurriedly pointed to Hu Shiwen, and said, "That's him! He just introduced his name to me, but I didn't know him before. Only the other two came with him!"

Hu Shiwen, Liu Quexian, and Wang Changgeng looked at Qin Deng in surprise.

"Take the three of them away!"

Xiao Mojin, the leader of the Yijinyiwei General Banner, let Qin Deng go, and only ordered Hu Shiwen, Liu Quexian and Wang Changgeng to be arrested.

Hu Shiwen watched Qin Deng leave with a dazed expression, then looked at Jin Yiwei Tiqi with a dazed face, arrested him, Liu Quexian, and Wang Changgeng, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know what I did?"

"The traitor He Xinyin spread rumors and confessed to his accomplices, including you, Hu Shiwen! He also pointed out that you would come to the Nanzhi Guild Hall, but I didn't expect you to be here."

Xiao Mo, the Chief Banner Officer of Jinyiwei, replied.

Hu Shiwen was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then said: "I just met these two people. One is Liu Quexian, who is just a granary student, and the other is Wang Changgeng, who is just a superintendent. The matter of He Xinyin has nothing to do with them, everyone. Can the school let them go?"

"Liu Quexian, Wang Changgeng?"

The General Banner of Jinyiwei was overjoyed, asked about it, saw Hu Shiwen nodding, and said, "Take that too!"

"Damn, the He surname didn't write down the whereabouts of these two people. He only said that they are in the capital. They are undoubtedly the most difficult to catch. I didn't expect it to be so easy!"

Xiao Mojin, General Banner of Jinyiwei, was a talkative person, so he started cursing at this moment.

However, Hu Shiwen, who was locked in the prison van, cursed after hearing this: "He Xinyin, you bastard! You are afraid of death, so it's fine to betray your friends. Why do you implicate innocent people!"
