The first thousand and sixty-three chapters willful old comrade
Zhu Ping'an looked at his old neighbor sitting on the ground waiting to eat melon, and twitched his lips helplessly. The old neighbor's attitude undoubtedly directly showed: Even if you talk about it, I won't believe a word.
However, at this time, Zhu Pingan had almost figured out the temperament of his old neighbor. He knew in his heart that the more he explained at this time, the more counterproductive it would be. It would be better to seek truth from facts and state it truthfully.
"I don't dare to hide it from my lord. The reason why I came here to remonstrate and avoid rescue is mainly because I want to plead for my senior brother Yang Jisheng. I want to please the Holy One and increase the success rate of my plea."
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an didn't bother to organize the reasons, and directly confessed his original intention to his old neighbor in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Humph, you are quite honest."
The stubborn old man sitting on the ground originally wanted to wait for Zhu Pingan to make some extravagant excuses, then expose Zhu Pingan's hypocrisy in person, and teach Zhu Pingan a lesson, but he didn't expect that Zhu Pingan would be so sincere.
On the contrary, he was holding back all the organized lessons and words in his stomach, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He was stunned for a while before he snorted, stroking his gray beard and said something shamelessly.
However, although he is still embarrassed, his sense of Zhu Ping'an has improved slightly by a point or two.
Although this guy is a flatterer and a traitor, he is rare to be sincere and is not hopeless. In addition, this guy is flattering to plead for Yang Jisheng, which is much better than those who flatter him for the sake of glory and wealth.
"People are based on sincerity"
Zhu Ping'an was about to say a few words of humility, but he was ruthlessly interrupted by the stubborn old man as soon as he started speaking.
"You are still based on sincerity! Do you think I am praising you?" The stubborn old man interrupted Zhu Pingan's modest words angrily, stretched out his bony finger and pointed at the top of the cell above his head, and twitched his gray beard as a lesson.
Said, "How can you deceive the heavens by pleading for Yang Jisheng?! During the eclipse of the sun, the country will suffer disasters. If we don't save it, it will endanger the Holy One, endanger our Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations and all the people in the world. You risked the world for Yang Jisheng alone."
Do you think you are great if you ignore the common people?!"
Well
Zhu Pingan was choked by the old neighbor's lesson.
It is undeniable that the old neighbor is a typical good comrade who is patriotic, loyal to the emperor and loves the people.
It's just that the old neighbor's worldview and my own are in two completely different eras. In the old neighbor's worldview, a solar eclipse will cause disasters in the country, and if no rescue is done, it will endanger the world's people; while in my own worldview
, the solar eclipse is just an objective astronomical phenomenon, and does not have any symbolic meaning of disaster. Different worldviews, naturally different understandings and behaviors. Zhu Pingan really doesn’t know how to return to his old neighbor.
"Boy, I know I was wrong."
In desperation, Zhu Pingan had no choice but to admit his mistake.
"Huh, not sincere."
The stubborn old man snorted and was not very satisfied with Zhu Pingan's attitude in admitting his mistake. He felt that Zhu Pingan admitted his mistake too quickly, which made people feel a little perfunctory.
Well, you are really a wayward old comrade. Zhu Pingan looked at the old neighbor speechlessly.
"Young people, don't think about taking shortcuts. Shortcuts are easy to take, but if you walk, you will get nowhere. You must be down-to-earth and take one step at a time. Although you walk slowly, you walk straight and in the right direction. There will be no end. .”
The stubborn old man raised his head and glanced at Zhu Pingan, and said meaningfully, half sarcastically and half educationally.
Well, yes, what the old neighbor said is very reasonable. There are no shortcuts on the road of life, only down-to-earth.
"Thank you for the lesson, sir. I will take it to heart."
Zhu Ping'an bowed his hands to express his thanks to his old neighbor, and if he corrected the problem, he would encourage him. This life lesson from his old neighbor was worthy of his own thanks.
"What's the use of telling it to me? Do you have to remember it in your heart and do it?" the stubborn old man said angrily.
Zhu Pingan smiled helplessly.
"By the way, let me ask you, what was the result when you went to Qi Tian to intercede for Yang Jisheng?" the stubborn old man asked with some concern.
Yang Jisheng is a younger generation that the stubborn old man admires very much. Yang Jisheng's ambition, integrity and career are unparalleled among the younger generations he knows. There is only one Shen Lian who can compare with him, but Shen Lian's career cannot compare with him. Yang Jisheng. In his opinion, Yang Jisheng's "Jian Ma Shi" and his two chapters of "Please punish the thief Song" not long ago are almost superior to those of the Qin and Han Dynasties, although "Public Security Policy" cannot be surpassed. Yang Jisheng I studied and enjoyed Han Shangshu, and I concentrated on thinking, and I was ready to speak to Shun. How could his knowledge be similar to that of others?
Therefore, after Yang Jisheng appeared in "Please Kill the Thief Song", the stubborn old man applauded the case and admired it, but he was also worried about Yang Jisheng. As expected, Yang Jisheng was soon sent to prison to question the death penalty. Before he was imprisoned, the stubborn old man still defended Yang Jisheng. Those who came running around calling for mercy, but unfortunately, it had no effect at all. Instead, several people were beaten with the imperial staff for begging for mercy. Later, after Emperor Jiajing issued an oral edict, no one dared to intercede for Yang Jisheng anymore. Zhu Pingan is the only one.
It's a pity that before I could wait for the outcome of Zhu Pingan's memorial, I was sent to prison because of the memorial on the eclipse, and my contact with the outside world was cut off. The prison officials were very strict, and I really didn't know what was going on outside. How is the development going?
In terms of time, according to the verdict of the last court trial of Yang Jisheng, tomorrow seems to be the day when Yang Jisheng will be executed.
After the stubborn old man was imprisoned, he had nothing to worry about but Yang Jisheng who made him deeply regretful.
Although he didn't have much hope for Zhu Pingan's intercession memorial, after all, so many people, so many more influential people than Zhu Pingan, interceded for Yang Jisheng to no avail, so how could he expect much from Zhu Pingan.
However, no matter how slim the hope is, it is still hope. A little slim hope is better than despair.
Therefore, the stubborn old man looked at Zhu Ping'an with slim hope, and asked for news about Yang Jisheng without any hope.
"After the boy's 'Deception' memorial was sent to the Supreme Court, His Majesty Longyan was delighted and ordered the cabinet to draft a decree for amnesty for the whole world! Except for the heinous and corrupt officials, all living sinners will be pardoned depending on the seriousness of their crimes. Although those with capital crimes cannot be pardoned, they will be pardoned. The sentence can also be commuted or exempted from the death penalty. Senior brother Yang Jisheng is also among this group. Although Yang Jisheng is still imprisoned in the imperial edict, his life is no longer in danger for the time being."
Zhu Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth and replied softly. When he mentioned the memorial, he deliberately added the word "Deception" to express his emotions a little.
"Ah?! Okay! Okay! Okay!"
The stubborn old man was stunned when he heard the words. He couldn't believe his ears, and then he was overjoyed and said three good words in a row... m.
