Chapter 134 Arresting Xu Kun

Chapter 134 Arresting Xu Kun

The respected scholar asked in surprise on the spot.

And Zhen Yu shouted to Xu Kun at this moment: "Mr. Xu, are you going to hit the pillar and die now?"

Xu Kun didn't answer, just sullenly.

"Who is Luo Rufang, if he doesn't come out with us, is he really going to be a fugitive and mess with the king's laws?!"

Then Zhen Yu asked loudly again, got off his horse, pushed away the scholar who was confronting him with his sword drawn, and walked towards Xu Kun.

The scholar didn't dare to say a word, but stepped aside.

Although his blood was surging at the beginning, and he had the intention of desperately defending Taoism, but after he saw He Xinyin's personal confession, he was completely exhausted.

The same goes for the other scholars and officials, they all stepped aside and only looked sideways at Zhen Yu and the Jin Yiwei.

Luo Rufang also walked over from Xu Kun at this moment: "This is my humble servant!"

"Mr. Jinxi!"

At this time, a scholar couldn't help shouting.

Luo Rufang waved her hand: "Everyone, please don't do anything against my decree. What's more, this is Mr. Fushan who confessed to me. What else can I say?"

"I can only sigh that people's hearts are unpredictable!"

As she said that, Luo Rufang smiled wryly, then stretched out her hands, clenched them into fists, and said to Jin Yiwei, "Put the shackle on me."

Zhen Yu asked his Jin Yiwei to put Luo Rufang in a shackle, and put him in the prison car, under the watchful eyes of the scholars and bureaucrats who listened to the lecture.

Then, Zhen Yu asked Xu Kun: "Second Young Master, are you really going to hit the pole?"

Xu Kun was stopped by the question.

After a while, Xu Kun said: "How could He Fushan write such a confession with his own hand? How did he suddenly become so cowardly?!"

Xu Kun really couldn't understand this matter.

His Xu family has had a tradition of attracting famous Confucianists in the academic circle since Xu Jie, often donating money to support great Confucianists to give lectures, and thus achieve the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the entire landlord class.

For example, Xu Jie once held a Lingji Palace conference in the capital, where Luo Rufang was the speaker, and thousands of people listened.

It's just that Xu Jie is old now, so he has left the matter of making friends with famous Confucians to Xu Kun.

After Luo Rufang was dismissed, Xu Kun invited her to Songjiang to give another lecture in Nanzhi.

However, Xu Kun did not expect that He Xinyin would inform Jin Yiwei of Luo Rufang's whereabouts, and even confessed him as a member of the alien party.

"He Xinyin! Even if you can't stand the torture, you shouldn't confess Mr. Jinxi and us! At most, you can only confess Hu Chen and them! Could it be that Jin Yiwei really can investigate so deeply? ?”

Xu Kun couldn't help complaining, and angrily denounced his name.

"Second Young Master, why bother to talk too much? Isn't that obvious? He Fushan didn't admit to being tortured at all, but confessed on his own initiative, flattering Jiangling in order to get rich and honor. This person has no firm heart and no heart. , I was really wrong.”

Luo Rufang said something at this moment.

"indeed."

As Xu Kun spoke, he walked towards Zhen Yu: "I'll go with you guys, I'm going to ask him, He Xinyin, why he did such a shameless thing!"

Therefore, Jin Yiwei successfully escorted Luo Rufang and Xu Kun away.

The scholar-bureaucrats who came to listen to the lecture either didn't know what to say, or just scolded He Xinyin, or talked about why He Xinyin did what he did.

"What did you say?!"

"When did this happen?"

Xu Jie was walking in the garden on crutches. When his third son Xu Ying learned that his second son Xu Kun and Luo Rufang were taken away by Jin Yiwei, he immediately stopped and asked a few questions.

Xu Ying sobbed: "What happened yesterday, but after yesterday's incident, it was going to be late, so I didn't dare to tell you right away, for fear of disturbing your sleep."

"Go! Get a chair."

The crutch in Xu Jie's hand trembled.

Xu Ying hurriedly asked someone to bring a chair behind Xu Jie, and Xu Jie sat down: "Tell me about the situation in detail."

Xu Ying started to say: "It's all because of that He Xinyin..."

So Xu Ying told Xu Jie what happened yesterday.

After hearing this, Xu Jie muttered to himself: "How could such a thing happen? He Xinyin shouldn't be such a person! What happened after He Xinyin was arrested and sent to the Imperial Prison?"

Then, Xu Jie asked Xu Ying: "Does Ziwei have a letter?"

"Go back to father, no."

Xu Ying replied.

Xu Jie frowned for a moment: "It seems that Zhang Ziwei, the second assistant, doesn't know what's going on here either!"

"Hey, that's the difference between being in the position of chief assistant and not being in that position. As long as you're not in that position, even if you just almost got there, you can't know some things."

"For example, in this matter now, whether He Xinyin met Zhang Juzheng, or Zhang Juzheng said something to He Xinyin in the name of the emperor in front of the emperor in the name of the emperor, or the emperor directly said something in front of He Xinyin. I don't know!"

"Father said so."

"The key is what happened around the emperor, we can't know."

"The inner court is now strictly investigating, not to mention the people who were placed in the palace, the people who were placed in Jinyiwei have all been dug out."

"Fortunately, we didn't directly install people, otherwise Zhang Jiangling would have a handle on us again if we were found out."

Xu Ying replied.

"There are a lot of things, our Xu family really shouldn't come forward directly, and we can't break with Zhang Jiangling directly, so as not to get burned, but this also brings a disadvantage."

As Xu Jie spoke, he glanced at Xu Ying: "As you said, we really don't know the details of our emperor, what kind of temperament he is, and whether he has a teacher-student relationship with Zhang Jiangling. , and is it selfish enough not to care about the people of the community?"

"Ziwei only said in his letter that he is cowardly and smart. He is afraid of Zhang Jiangling but also knows how to disguise himself. But will an emperor who uses domineering techniques to cover up his true thoughts actually have domineering intentions in his heart? Even in the future I want to emulate Wu Zong."

"If that's the case, Zhang Jiangling is all to blame! He actually made the emperor's attention to military ministers by directly expressing his feelings during the banquet!"

Xu Ying replied.

Xu Jie slammed his crutch on the ground: "That's what I'm worried about!"

After speaking, Xu Jie said again: "If the Son of Heaven is really like Ziwei, cowardly but smart and powerful, then if Zhang Jiangling continues to teach him like this, wouldn't it be easy to become the second constitutional temple?"

"Now this official residence is very similar to Xichang, and it can be said to be even smarter than Xichang!"

"You said, this official residence should not have been thought of by His Majesty?"

As Xu Jie spoke, he asked Xu Ying a question.

Xu Ying replied: "It should be. The emperor has just been married for a year. He has never been out of the deep palace. He only grows in the hands of women. Although the eunuchs around him are knowledgeable, they are also taught by me. If you teach the tiger the ability to climb trees, even if the emperor wants to control the officials, he should only think of setting up the West Factory."

Xu Jie nodded: "For the time being, let's just believe that Jiang Ling did it alone."

Xu Jie sighed as he spoke: "Father really misjudged Jiangling again, and underestimated his methods!"

"Especially this time, even He Xinyin can be used as a fuss by him. I'm afraid he is not only trying to 'spend all his savings and use up his accumulated years', but also has a bigger fuss to do. That's why we need to clean up the door, and we need to completely cut off from He Xinyin our purpose of preventing him from continuing to reform through lectures."

"What my father said is that this Jiangling is really powerful!"

Xu Ying gritted her teeth and said, "It's a pity to think about it now. We have already dragged You Qi into the water, and the inner court Zhang Cheng and Eunuch Zhang also stood by our side, but now everything has been cleaned up. Even the one who accompanied me since childhood When he reaches Youqi, he is willing to stick to death!"

"Who would have thought that Jiang Ling would make peace with Gao Gong long ago?"

Xu Jie said with a wry smile, and then said with a serious face: "However, this is also where I question whether the emperor is really under the influence of Jiangling. Logically, according to Gao Gong's temperament, I am afraid that apart from the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Your Majesty No one can make him willing to forgive Jiang Ling."

"Even if His Majesty didn't contribute, I'm afraid someone from the two queen mothers contributed to this matter!"
