Wanli Youming

Chapter 300

Chapter 300

The three of them didn't answer after listening.

Wang Xijue remained silent for a long time after the three left, and the initial anger on Gu Jing Wubo's face was gone.

Not long after, Wang Xijue's housekeeper, Wang Wu, came and said, "Master, Huang Shi'an, who went to North Korea to manage the cotton industry, is here!"

After Wang Xijue heard this, he couldn't help but recall the previous conversation with Shen Shixing, so he ordered: "Let him come to see me now!"

Wang Wu bowed and said yes.

"I'll put it here for lunch, and ask someone to prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Then, Wang Xijue gave instructions to the servants beside him.

Not long after, Huang Shi'an, Wang Xijue's servant, came to Wang Xijue, knelt down and said, "Say hello to the master!"

"Get up."

Wang Xijue said with a smile.

Huang Shi'an thanked him tremblingly, then lowered his head and waited for Wang Xijue to ask questions.

At this moment, Wang Xijue smiled and asked Huang Shi'an: "Haven't you eaten yet?"

Huang Shi'an replied with a flattering smile: "Don't dare to miss the master's business, and you will have time to eat in the future."

"Sit down and eat together."

Wang Xijue said suddenly.

Huang Shi'an couldn't help being startled, and asked subconsciously: "Master, do you want the younger ones to eat together?"

Wang Xijue nodded: "Fresh shad is tasteless to eat alone, it's better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it together!"

Huang Shi'an hurriedly thanked him, then sat tremblingly on the opposite side of Wang Xijue, sitting on half of his buttocks, and said with a sneer:

"The little one is a mess."

Wang Xijue concentrated for a while, then continued to eat fish, and asked Huang Shi'an: "How is the cotton cloth in North Korea?"

Huang Shi'an was picking up the bowl and chopsticks, when he saw Wang Xijue's question, he was not in a hurry to pick up the food, but replied:

"Back to the master, each piece of coarse cloth is worth a penny more than that sold in Guannei. The main reason is that the Liu family's cloth batches are sold cheaper. At present, the Busan Cotton Bank we cooperate with Langya Wang's (Wang Shizhen's family) has distributed more than 1000 yuan a year. two."

"Come on!"

Wang Xijue suddenly put down his chopsticks and let out a sharp drink.

Not long after, a family slave came out: "Please tell me, master."

"Take Huang Shi'an down and give him 50 taels of silver!"

Wang Xijue suddenly ordered.

Huang Shi'an was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly kowtowed to Wang Xijue: "Thank you for the reward, master, I am ashamed to receive it!"

He is just a second-class housekeeper in the palace, not a first-class housekeeper, and his monthly salary is only two taels. Wang Xijue rewarding him with 50 taels is already a huge reward for him.

Therefore, Huang Shi'an was overjoyed.

Wang Xijue glanced at Huang Shi'an who was wearing thick silk on the ground, and said with a forced smile, "Go down! Come see me again at night."

As soon as Wang Xijue said that, he said, "Have someone set him a table for dinner."

"Yes!"

After Huang Shi'an left, Wang Xijue continued to eat fish, and couldn't help saying: "Now I feel that shad is beautiful!"

……

"Ge Lao, it's too difficult to have fun with the people!"

"I tried it yesterday and asked my family to eat at the same table with me. I still don't know where the joy of Mr. Ouyang Wenzhong comes from, but I just feel uncomfortable."

"In the past, I didn't feel uncomfortable when I knelt in front of my father and gave lectures, but let the lowly people sit in front of me. Although I really want to, I don't feel happy."

The next day.

Wenyuan Pavilion.

After Wang Xijue met Shen Shixing, he told Shen Shixing how he felt about having his slaves eat at the same table as him yesterday.

"In the end, I would rather give him a large sum of money, let him benefit from me, and set up another table for him to eat by himself, rather than insisting that he sit with me."

"It can be seen that it is difficult to make no distinction between high and low!"

"I don't know how Ouyang Wenzhong can enjoy the people, and how Tao Qian can drink with the farmer."

After Wang Xijue said this, Shen Shixing laughed:

"Perhaps both the public and the servant are not exempt. The servant also tried it once. It can still be done by force, but I don't know where the joy comes from!"

"The only thing I'm quite proud of is that I feel that I am not a person who only knows how to be superior and talks empty talk, but who doesn't know how to be humble and can't be humble."

"It's completely different from the feeling when His Majesty asked me to sit on the same argument!"

"The emperor grants sitting, just like drinking nectar, refreshing the spirit, and having the desire to record it in articles and poems; but granting the sitting people is like drinking bitter medicine, like self-denial."

Speaking of this, Shen Shixing said: "It can be seen that it is really difficult to ask everyone to be friends like what He Fushan said. It is still difficult for an open-minded person like Gong, let alone ask the nobles in the world?"

"We can force ourselves to accept it."

"But what about the nobles in the world, can they do it by coercion?"

"So, when servants and Bingzhong (Yu Youding) were discussing how to establish the new rites, they advocated that although the rites are courteous to the common people, there is still a difference between high and low, and that the new rites should focus on building and supplementing, clarifying Sinicization. There is a difference in etiquette and law between the non-Sinicized people, and I urge people all over the world to recognize that those who accept the king's transformation are higher in personality than the barbarians who have not accepted the king's transformation."

Shen Shixing explained his point of view as he spoke.

Wang Xijue nodded: "This is indeed easier for the world to accept."

Shen Shixing nodded: "Yes, the father of the emperor can respect the teacher and teach him, and show him courtesy, and call him the teacher in the past; but the minister can't just forget the etiquette of the minister, because he doesn't know that the father of the emperor is more important than the minister."

"Some people forget etiquette because of profit, so that today's loss."

Wang Xijue glanced at the chief assistant of the cabinet and said.

Shi Shixing didn't say anything more.

……

Snapped!

"You said that the mastermind behind the scenes is Yuanfu, and you can't provide evidence, how can we believe you!"

Not long after the turmoil outside Daming Gate ended, Censor Ding Jilu was taken out of Jinyiwei Prison, and was interrogated by the Three Jurisdictions.

But no matter what Yan Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Justice asked, Ding Jilu still insisted that Zhang Siwei, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was his mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore.

Yan Qing and other officials of the Sanfa Division could only close the case, and only presented Ding Qilu's confession, and also noted that there was no circumstantial evidence for his confession.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun decreed that Ding Qilu should be killed together with Wu, Zhao and other criminals, and Jin Yiwei's Qianhu Ji Chonggong was also sentenced to the head of a gangster because he took bribes and sat by to watch the civil uprising.

then.

Not long after, Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, Ding Jilu and others were taken to the execution ground.

It is now April of the 11th year of Wanli.

On the day when Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, Ding Jilu and others were tortured, it was rainy, and the Lingling spring rain washed the entire execution ground clean first.

And Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, Ding Jilu and others were pressed down on the wet ground this morning, their limbs and heads were tied in nooses that were drawn on five carriages.

Wu Zhongxing smacked his dry mouth, stared blankly at the sky, and there were not only raindrops or teardrops in the corners of his eyes, but he said in grief:

"How could this be the result?"

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have turned against Zhang Juzheng for seizing love back then, and I would have forced myself to end today!"

Zhao Yongxian shouted loudly here: "Your Majesty! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"

"Woooo!"

Zhao Yongxian began to cry as he yelled.

Ding Jilu didn't say a word.

Only after Shu Hua, Zuo Shilang of the Supervisory and Execution Department appeared, he shouted to Shu Hua: "Please tell Zhang Siwei that a person like him is greedy for life and afraid of death, but it doesn't mean that everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"But don't think that if he is so stubborn, if he doesn't dare to remonstrate with the emperor, and if he doesn't dare to reprimand the traitor, he will be able to retreat!"

"In a world dominated by the strong, cowardly people are only worthy of being bullied. It's the same for those who actively choose to be weak!"

"Although your father is benevolent, he will not be benevolent to a useless person like him! I am waiting for him under the Nine Springs!"

"Wait for him!"

Ding Qilu laughed loudly as he shouted.

"Execution!"

Shu Hua didn't say anything, just sullenly, and shouted loudly when the time was up.

Immediately, the carriage sped up, and Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, and Ding Jilu were torn apart.

At the same time, Shen Tao and Qin Hongzhi and other scholars who stopped others from quitting the exam were also executed.

"Why don't you show mercy, why don't you give me a lenient sentence? We are the descendants of the famous eunuchs, the sons of the gentry!"

"Why on earth is this happening?!"

"Zhang Puzhou, Shenwu County! How come you are not as good as Zhang Jiangling and Fang Jiayu? Jiangling is the country, and it is not so contemptuous of the lives of scholars; Fang Jiayu dares to fight for the title of Yushi, but you It's like paper paste clay sculpture!"

"Woo! The sky has no eyes, the sky has no eyes!"

And before being decapitated, Shen Tao and others also roared heart-piercingly in the drizzle, obviously extremely unwilling in their hearts.

Swish!

Swish!

When the knife fell, Shen Tao, Qin Hongzhi and the others just trembled all over and struggled non-stop, until the neck was broken and bleeding.

When Jin Yiwei's Qianhu Ji Chonggong was decapitated, he yelled rather aggrievedly: "Damn, if I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn't be greedy for that money!"

Swish!

It's useless to regret, and Ji Chonggong was finally decapitated.

For a moment, outside the archway of the West Market, the ground was completely red.

Not long after that, Zhang Siwei knew what Ding Jilu had scolded him on the execution ground.

For a moment, he was so angry that he threw the pen he was waving on the white rice paper, and cursed: "Should there be no king and no father?!"
