Chapter 137 The standard form of hanging
Recruiting the prince, what a great thing? Who can control it?
The magistrates who can abandon the city and flee cannot be expected to have rigorous thinking. In their hearts, interests are above all else.
When I abandoned the city in order to survive, I did not consider the people, nor the subsequent impact, nor how the court would deal with it.
It is enough that the dynasty does not kill scholar-bureaucrats.
Abandoning the city is nothing more than finding another place to serve as an official, while resisting can only mean death.
Not only did Cao Jin die, Zhao Shidan also died, and even Chen Gong of Yongzhou died. But he and others abandoned the city and fled, but they escaped the recruitment and reserves of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Isn't it just regret? This is not difficult. You can definitely write with flowers and tears. Articles are easy.
Those who can pass the imperial examination are all mediocre, especially in poetry and composition.
"We sincerely obey Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Yu Jing watched the scenes here with cold eyes, very worried about the country.
It’s been a little while, but big may not be better!
Since the Qing Dynasty, he has been abroad for many years and has been transferred several times. Although there have been letters exchanged in the same year, except for the selection of soldiers for the guard camp, the prince has done nothing surprising in many years.
Now it seems... Alas, the imperial dynasty is a edifice that is about to collapse. In the future, when the prince takes the throne, it may not be as good as the official dynasty.
It doesn't matter, I'm old and can't worry too much. When the prince comes to the throne, it's time for me to become an official, so as not to see such dirty things and avoid being in the same palace with such people.
The sins of these seven or eight people who caused the current chaos in Guangnan are unpardonable, yet His Highness the Crown Prince is so close to them.
Have you used it before? This is a failure of virtue, not a fault of ability! Your Highness, do you really want to prepare for it and use it?
…
His Royal Highness the Prince was drunk. Because he was very happy and excited to have a banquet with everyone, he drank a few more glasses and became drunk.
Even so, he still forced his sleepy eyes open and kept in touch with the seven or eight Zhizhou who had abandoned the city and fled.
How can you get drunk just by ordering rice wine? As soon as Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian helped him to the apartment, Zhao Xi sobered up, or stopped pretending.
"Call Cao Lin and others over! Don't let anyone know."
"Your Highness, tomorrow..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Go quickly!"
Wang Zhongzheng had never seen His Highness the Crown Prince drink. He really thought he was drunk and wanted to give him some advice. But when he heard His Highness speak like this... he sounded like a drunkard.
"It is not suitable for Zhongzheng and Li Xian to go out to inquire. I don't care what method you use. I need to know Li Zhi's residence before the time comes."
Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian are in their twenties and don't have a single beard. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's southern expedition is not a secret. You will probably know that they are the Crown Prince's men as soon as you open your mouth.
As for Cao Lin and others, Zhao Xi doesn't care. All these years of training will be wasted if they don't have this ability when they first arrive in the new land.
Therefore, he only needs to inform the request.
…
Before they arrived, the four of them came back one after another.
Although Li Zhi did not take office in Guizhou, he still had a separate courtyard in Guizhou... It was a hundred miles away from the place where he took office, so he was relieved that his concubine lived alone.
"Change your clothes and go out!"
The training uniforms of the guard camp are definitely not acceptable, and the court uniforms are also unacceptable. They are too eye-catching.
Zhao Xi led six people, dressed as wealthy gentry and young masters, and walked out of the courtyard behind the wall.
In the same way, we climbed over again and entered the Li Zhi Villa.
"Your Highness, Li Zhi is alone in the study tonight. He once told his servants not to disturb him."
Just right! You just need this foundation.
"Please don't disturb me. If anything happens, I will call you and wait for you!"
Well, he's pretty awesome and cool. Even though he's in decline, he still hasn't lost his drive to know the state. Every word he said in these few words shows that he is an official.
"Your Highness... Your Highness... I came to visit you late at night. I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you. Please forgive me..."
Didn't we already agree? I told my servants not to disturb me tonight because of this so-called regret.
The article has been completed, and Li Zhi can read it himself and be moved by the article.
I originally planned to visit His Highness early tomorrow morning, but who would have thought that His Highness would actually visit late at night. Why is this happening?
Zhao Xi said nothing, staring at the pen that was not yet dry on Beacon Mountain...
"Oh... oh... Your Highness, this is a memorial of regret written by Zhi. Please take a look at it..."
Zhao Xi still didn't say anything. He didn't say anything, and none of the people following him said anything.
Zhao Xi picked it up seriously... I have to admire the writing skills of this so-called scholar. Even a simple examination can be written brilliantly.
First, it starts with the teachings of the ancient sages, then details the process of abandoning the city, then makes a comparison before and after, and finally confesses the crime... It is clearly organized and layered. It can be left as a sample for future generations to examine.
After reading this article, everyone feels that he has a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, is determined to correct them, and is a good comrade who knows his mistakes and can correct them.
In order to achieve such a goal, I will naturally conduct an in-depth analysis of everything I have done. I have not shied away from responsibilities at all. I have shouldered all the responsibilities that should be shouldered. There is no ambiguity at all. I have basically made every sentence clear and every word clear.
There's blood.
Very good, really good.
Zhao Xi smiled, and only his two elders knew that this Li Zhi was going to be unlucky.
Zhao Xi smiled and slowly approached Li Zhi, as if to pat Li Zhi on the shoulder to show encouragement.
The moment his palm was about to fall on his shoulder, Zhao Xi's right palm suddenly changed direction, and his knuckles instantly hit Li Zhi's ear behind his face downwards...
"Tear off the sheet and hang it on the middle beam to create a scene of suicide!"
Zhao Xi said as he walked to the desk, dipped his fingers in the water, then lowered his fingers and let the water drip on the words 'His Royal Highness' in the regret book...
Cao Lin and others didn't understand what was going on at all. They just acted numbly under His Highness's orders.
My mind turned a little: His Royal Highness's thoughts on the ship have never changed.
As for other operations, I don’t know!
They don’t need to understand, someone will explain it clearly.
The fact that a Zhizhou hanged himself was considered a big event in Guizhou City, not to mention that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Xuanhui Envoy came to Guizhou, the Zhizhou who hanged himself was the Zhizhou who abandoned the city and fled...
Therefore, Yu Jing rushed to the scene as soon as he received the report.
"Your Majesty, after inspection by my subordinates, it is confirmed that Li Zhizhou hanged himself, and there is evidence of his death."
"Li Zhizhou felt guilty for abandoning the city and fled, so he wrote a letter of regret last night. During this period, he shed tears many times. Finally, because he felt ashamed of the imperial court and had no face in the world, he hanged himself in Zhongliang."
Guizhou's official recommendation, Wu Zuo, confirmed that Li Zhi's suicide was correct... Mainly because of the letter of regret, which makes people feel that living is sorry for His Majesty, sorry for the court, sorry for the elders of Guangnan, and even sorry for living as a human being.
Therefore, death is liberation, and only death can express one's guilt for abandoning the city and escaping.
Yu Jing was very puzzled that a person who abandoned the city and fled would actually hang himself out of guilt. These completely opposite behaviors made him really puzzled.
The problem is that this scene, this article, this... this is basically a standard mental process of hanging oneself.
Just because it was so standard, it made Yu Jing even more confused.
