Chapter 508 Personal honor and disgrace is a small matter, but preservation of morality is a major matter!

Prison.

When Zhao Qing was escorted here, he felt completely guilty, and he was still rebellious. Therefore, when the Confucian scholars who were imprisoned in the prison saw his expression, the great Confucian Luo Rufang couldn't bear it. Let’s ask Zhang Jingxiu first:

"Ti Shuai, if you dare to ask him what he committed, did he also voluntarily surrender? He is even more proud than when I entered the prison for the second time!"

"No."

"He committed a heinous crime. When he was the censor of the city, he ordered the direct massacre of the people blocking the officials. He also said that he would rather be known as a cruel official for slaughtering all the people than allow the people to question bureaucrats and discuss state affairs."

Prison is now not only a place to detain prisoners, but has gradually become a place for political and academic exchanges under the direct control of the emperor.

Basically, Confucian scholars who come in have to express their views, and start discussions and disputes with other people, and even scold each other.

And Zhang Jingxiu also because of Zhang Juzheng's strict family education, he is also quite good in Confucian classics and understanding of state affairs, so he will naturally participate in the discussion, and now he is quite familiar with these great Confucianists in prison.

At this time, Zhang Jingxiu answered Luo Rufang's doubts in a friendly manner.

Luo Rufang looked at Zhao Qing as soon as she heard it: "I said that disputes between officials and the people are inevitable, but it is taboo to kill them directly. What do you think?"

"Han and thief are not at odds!"

Zhao Qing seemed to answer the question a little bit, but she also seemed to have answered her own answer.

Therefore, Luo Rufang also laughed at this moment: "Who is a Han and who is a thief, aren't they all descendants of Yan and Huang?!"

Zhao Qing stared at Luo Rufang and said, "What do you really think?"

"nature!"

"The common people are also His Majesty's children, and our compatriots!"

"As for the point of view advocated by Xin Li, I still agree with it with both hands. It's just that everyone in He Fushan (He Xinyin) is a friend, and I don't agree with it. That's why I came in again to persuade his fellow disciples."

Luo Rufang replied.

"You and He Fushan are both to be punished!"

Zhao Qing pointed at Luo Rufang and shouted, "Didn't you ask me who is a Han and who is a thief?"

"I tell you!"

Zhao Qing said, "Those who keep the etiquette are the Han, those who disobey the etiquette are the thieves, and those who refuse to be punished are the thieves!"

Luo Rufang asked directly: "If you are willing to be ruled by a human being, is it a beast?"

Zhao Qing couldn't help but clenched her cheeks, and then said: "This is the so-called purpose of the herdsmen!"

"Should kill!"

"Your Majesty should really kill him. He is a monster who would rather die than endure the wealth of the people. If he doesn't kill him, the world will collapse!"

Luo Rufang spoke up loudly.

Zhao Qing just sneered.

And after Qian Yiben was taken to prison, Luo Rufang also asked him: "Surely you are the accomplice of the patrolling censor?"

"A gentleman is a friend and not a party!"

After Qian Yiben said that, he went to his cell triumphantly.

The same was true for Meng Yanghao after he was escorted, and he didn't feel that he was at fault.

Because of Zhu Yijun's new decree, Zhang Jingxiu came here after the two were imprisoned, and had men bring Meng Yanghao and Qian Yiben to a group of Confucian scholars, saying:

"Your Majesty has a decree, if you are willing to repent, deeply reflect on your mistakes, and confess your guilt, then you will be spared the death penalty, in order to show benevolence!"

As he said that, Zhang Jingxiu lowered his face and said, "Otherwise, when you finish the process at the Sanfa Division, you will be torn apart by the car, and you will die if you take a look at Zhao Qing!"

After hearing this, Qian Yiben said: "May I ask why your Majesty changed the order?"

Zhang Jingxiu said: "Yuan Fu interceded for you, and the Holy Grace descended to give you a chance to reform."

"Sure enough, the Son of Heaven only gave favor to Shenwu County, but he wanted us to repent. What mistakes did we regret, and what mistakes did we commit?"

Qian Yiben looked at Zhang Jingxiu, with an expression of indignation, and asked with his hands outstretched.

Zhang Jingxiu said: "If you don't repent, according to the oracle, you will be regarded as stubborn, and you can only wait to be cracked by a car."

Qian Yiben was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "This is not good, if we repent, wouldn't we just bow our heads and give in? A gentleman does something and refuses to do something, how can we be wronged like this?!"

Meng Yanghao also said to Zhang Jingxiu at this time: "Yes, if this letter of repentance is written, what face will we have to see the world?! This oracle is clearly intended to make us humiliated by the world."

Zhao Nanxing, who was also in the imperial prison, poked his head out of the cell at this time and shouted: "That's right, don't write! I am a gentleman, how can I wrong my own integrity for the sake of my life!"

After Zhao Nanxing said that, he also looked at Zhang Jingxiu, and said with a smile: "Ti Shuai, let's go back, they are all going to die generously, they are all gentlemen, why are they afraid of being cracked?!"

"Confused!"

At this time, Luo Rufang yelled at them in the prison, saying: "You don't damage your own virtue, you don't allow yourself to be wronged; do you want your majesty to be wronged, damage your holiness, and leave the name of cruelty?!"

After Qian Yiben was reprimanded by Luo Rufang, he stood there motionless like thunder on dry ground.

"Okay, I'll write, I'm sorry!"

After a while, Qian Ben gritted his teeth and replied.

Zhang Jingxiu smiled slightly, and asked someone to bring the Four Treasures of the Study.

"Mr. Qixin!"

Meng Yanghao couldn't help shouting.

Zhao Nanxing followed suit, his expression was stunned, and he couldn't help shouting:

"Dr. Qian, you are a gentleman recognized by the world! How could you have fallen for his tricks in Shenwu County? Your Majesty doesn't know, so don't you?!"

Qian Yiben looked at them: "Stop talking, do you and I really want to admit that we want His Majesty to be cast aside by the world and at the same time be respected by the world?!"

Meng Yanghao sighed: "That's right, since that's the case, just wrong yourself."

"Don't write!"

"Please think about it, Mr. Doing this will be exactly what he wants in Shenwu County!"

Zhao Nanxing yelled, almost crying, and looked at the two with pleading eyes.

Qian Yiben turned around and cupped his hands to Zhao Nanxing: "Don't say anything, personal honor and disgrace is a minor matter, but protecting your father is a major matter!"

After Qian Yiyi said that, he really wrote a letter of repentance. He swallowed his previous criticism of Zhu Yijun word by word through new text explanations, and began to admit that he was doing it because of the family's private schemes. Shangshu is not really admonishing the king's gains and losses, and the accusation of the king's father is just hearsay.

However, when Qian Yiben was writing, as if he was cutting himself with a knife and inflicting mental torture on himself, he burst into tears as he wrote.

Meng Yanghao and Zhao Nanxing were also crying.

Zhao Nanxing even hit the post with his head.

"Why does Mengbai have to be so excited, Mr. Qian and others have lost their reputation in the world in order to preserve their holiness, shouldn't they be worthy of your praise?"

"Wishing to die is not easy, but living is probably even more difficult. To be truly loyal to the emperor is to dare to live in a way that only wrongs oneself!"

Luo Rufang said at this time.

Zhao Nanxing stopped suddenly, and shouted at Luo Rufang: "Shut up! Mr. Qian and others have been wronged now, and it's not because of your instigation!"

Zhao Nanxing yelled and looked at Zhang Jingxiu: "Why did Jin Yiwei imprison so many deviant Confucian scholars?!"

"Just lock it in, why let them talk nonsense here?!"

"Even if they are directly tortured to death, it is better than letting them talk nonsense here!"

"Is this imperial prison being judged by your Jin Yiwei, or by them?!"
