In Wenyuan Pavilion, Yu Qian was immersed in writing, when Zhang Yi pushed the door open and entered.
"Tingyi, why are you still writing?"
Yu Qian said without raising his head: "The New Deal involves all aspects. If it is not carefully considered in the early stage, it will be very difficult to implement it."
Zhang Yi could no longer care about the New Deal or not. He pulled Yu Qian and said, "The final trial of the Yan Sheng Gong Case is about to begin. The emperor has just issued a decree that the cabinet and hundreds of officials will observe the trial. Hurry up and follow me!"
"No!"
Yu Qian answered neatly and seemed to have no interest in this case.
Zhang Yi asked in confusion: "Don't you want to know the result of the trial?"
Yu Qian snorted softly and said: "Yanshenggong is finished, no one can save him!"
"What did you say?"
Zhang Yi frowned and asked: "Tingyi, you are also a scholar, why are you so ignorant?"
"The one who is ignorant is Duke Yan. The Kong family has relied on the grace of their ancestors and enjoyed the country's favor for generations. They just do evil in daily life. Now they have to go against the emperor. Isn't this asking for death?"
"You...how do you say this?"
Yu Qian then raised his head and said: "I saw with my own eyes how the Kong family did what they did in Yu County. I can't stand it if the emperor doesn't care!"
Zhang Yi was puzzled: "What happened? As far as I know, Yu County is not good at education. The schools only teach some messy things, and they even cooperate with merchants. It is simply degrading to the gentlemen! Only then did Duke Yan Sheng send someone there.
, in order to correct the prestige and evil in Yu County. From what you said, it seems that there is another truth?"
"What you said about Yu County cooperating with merchants and teaching some messy things is true, but it is not accurate enough."
Yu Qian put down the pen in his hand, and then recounted everything he saw and heard in Yu County. Until the Kong family appeared, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent Jin Yiwei to take him back to the capital.
For this period of time, Zhang Yi has always thought that it was because Jin Yiwei and the Kong family couldn't get along, or that the emperor took action against the Kong family in order to implement the New Deal.
Now after listening to Yu Qian's story, I realize that it doesn't seem that simple.
Yu Qian never lies, and he doesn't even bother to lie. From this point of view... is it really the Kong family who was at fault first?
What shocked him even more was that the number of schools and children enrolled in Yu County was beyond the reach of all other counties in Datong Prefecture combined.
"Tingyi, tell me the truth, is the New Deal really not against scholars?"
Yu Qian shook his head and said: "I have been in Yu County for two months. The New Deal is by no means that simple. Many of the emperor's ideas are much better than mine. If we are still conservative and incomplete and do not want to make progress, even if the New Deal is
If we don’t open it, sooner or later, we will be abandoned by the world.”
After Zhang Yi listened, he thought about it for a long time. Although he couldn't understand it in a short time, it seemed to be very powerful.
After Yu Qian finished speaking, he picked up the pen and buried his head again.
"Don't worry, the emperor's wisdom is beyond our imagination. This time, Yan Shenggong will definitely be finished!"
Zhang Yisi thought about it and then asked: "Are you really not going to take a look?"
"No, I'm still busy!"
Zhang Yi had no choice but to leave Wenyuan Pavilion with questions on his head and walked towards the Meridian Gate.
At this time, arrangements have been made outside the Meridian Gate.
There is a long table and three chairs in the chief interrogation position, which are reserved for the three judges.
There were more than a dozen chairs placed at the viewing position. Zhu Qizhen sat in the center. Zhu Qiyu, Cao Nai and others sat on both sides. Hundreds of officials who came to observe the review were seated according to their official positions. Some officials had small positions and were naturally not qualified.
, and stood behind.
When the people in the capital got the news, they all came in less than an hour.
Since ancient times, no matter what dynasty, no matter what the living conditions are, the fine tradition of having enough to eat and loving to join in the fun cannot be lost!
On the presiding court, three big bosses, Yu Shiyue, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Xue Xuan, Minister of Dali Temple, and Yang Shan, Yushi Yang Shan of Zuodu, were once again pushed to the forefront.
To a certain extent, the three of them are quite worried.
Especially Yu Shiyue, as the Minister of Punishment, he naturally knows what he is doing.
He believed that what the emperor had done during this period was very unreasonable. He frequently confiscated his family and exterminated his family. This was something only Emperor Taizu would do. Although he did not say it out loud, he secretly cursed the tyrant's behavior in his heart.
You can copy others today, but there is no guarantee that you will not copy yourself tomorrow.
Even if you can protect yourself wisely, what will happen to your children and grandchildren in the future?
Since the emperor wants to implement the New Deal, he wants to eliminate the influence of the previous civil servants. Could it be said that after working hard all his life, his children and grandchildren cannot enjoy even a little favor?
Not to mention how many people have followed their chickens and dogs to heaven over the years, and these people who are in front of the horse and behind the horse have already formed a community of interests. They have benefited from themselves, and they have relied on these wings to stabilize their position in the court.
Several people have been imprisoned due to the Jiangnan smuggling case. Seeing that the power behind them is getting worse day by day, in this situation, if they don't stand up to support everyone, these people will definitely be dissatisfied and disloyal. Then he, the minister,
It’s just an empty title.
In the morning, I had already broken up with the emperor, and now I have no choice.
Today's battle is not only about superiority and inferiority, but also about life and death!
Therefore, before the temporary execution ground was set up, he took the time to go home, called his son in front of him, and said: "Today's case will directly affect the future of my Yu family.
There is no turning back when you draw a bow. You should be more at ease at home and serve your mother well."
"Father...why did you say this?"
Seeing his son's worried look, Yu Shiyue comforted him and said, "It's just an explanation. Although my father knows that the matter is not so serious, he must at least take precautions. Don't worry, if my father encounters something unexpected today, it won't matter."
, Because, when we really get to that point, my father has become famous all over the world. By then, you children and grandchildren can at least get some credit!"
What Yu Shiyue said about being lucky is actually not a joke at all.
If a scholar-bureaucrat is held accountable by the court, dismissed from his official position, or even loses his life for safeguarding the interests of scholars all over the world, then he will definitely be respected by the people in the world.
Think about it, in the future, when your children and grandchildren tell you your name, countless high-ranking people will rush to serve you. People in future generations will build memorial arches for you and publicize your achievements everywhere. So, what will you gain from this life?
, it’s more than just wealth, it’s simply the golden rice bowl for future generations.
"Actually, you don't have to worry. I will never be greedy or possessive in my life. Even if the Jin Yiwei comes, I won't be able to find anything. Just relax. Okay, it's getting late. It's time for me to set off."<
/p>
After saying that, he stood up slowly, with a look in his eyes as if he was going to die.
