"What, you want me to die!" Jin Hanji said in horror and anger.
"Hanji," Jin Hanming paused, and then said: "I know you are wronged, and His Highness also knows it, but when the king learned the truth about that incident, he hated you to the core and asked you to 'die of illness', otherwise he would never die.
I won’t let it go.”
"I also know that this is extremely unfair to you, and I argued with His Highness in the palace for a long time. But His Highness did not dare to go against the king's words, otherwise it would not be you and Cheng Fu who 'died' of illness, but troops would be sent to check us
Family. For the future of our Jin family, I can only wrong you."
"Don't worry, everyone will remember the contribution you have made to our family, and your children and grandchildren will receive the best treatment in the clan. If you don't believe me, I can call all the clan elders to come and hold a memorial ceremony for you in the ancestral hall."
I swear this in the presence of our ancestors."
"Even if you swear in front of my ancestors, I will never die." Jin Hanji sneered: "This is the first time I have heard of such a truth. The winner will die for the sake of the overall situation."
"How can the current king and the current king be father and son, and they have not completely broken up." Jin Hanming said: "Since their father and son fought but could not break up, if they want to completely reconcile, someone must make sacrifices."
"I tell you, I will never die!" Jin Hanji stood up and said loudly: "Since ancient times, success is a prince, failure is a thief. Since my strategy is successful, I will never agree to the fate of a thief!"
"You, don't you care about your family?" Jin Hanming also stood up and said.
"The purpose of the family is to protect the clan members. Why doesn't this family protect the clan members now? Can a family that doesn't protect the clan members still be called a family?" Jin Hanji asked rhetorically.
The two of them debated for a long time, but neither could convince the other. Jin Hanming could only say: "This is a decision jointly made by the family members, and you must abide by it. If you don't abide by it, someone will forcibly kill you."
.”
"Haha!" Jin Hanji actually laughed and said: "Do you think what you clan elders say in the family is what it means? Just wait, I will spread this matter and let all the clansmen in Seoul know that the current king
How to restore the crown prince's position and inherit the throne. Let's see if they support you or me."
"You!" Jin Hanming was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while. He had to sit down again and let his grandson pat his back for a while before he said: "How can you spread this matter? Everyone in the family
Everyone knows it, and outsiders will also know it, so that all the people in the two classes in Seoul will know about it. Do we need the reputation of our Jin family anymore! Is it good for our Jin family!"
"Anyway, I don't see the harm. This matter has been known to everyone in Seoul. The king must reject the king's order and protect the Jin family. Otherwise, who else will sacrifice their lives for him in the future?"
My life will be saved.' Jin Hanji thought in his heart again.
"You are so disregardful of the overall situation!" Jin Hanming also thought of Jin Hanji's plan and scolded him again.
"If I ignored the overall situation and acted as if I didn't know anything when the king wanted to dethrone the crown prince, wouldn't it be better if I even reported illness and went home? Why bother to send Chengfu to the Ming Dynasty?" Jin Hanji retorted.
Hearing this, Jin Hanming was so angry that he wanted to go forward and catch him; but Jin Hanji was younger than him and in better shape than him, so he hid. Jin Hanming wanted to let his servants catch him, but this was Jin Hanji's yard.
, Jin Hanji had more servants than he brought, and Jin Hanming’s idea could not be realized.
Jin Hanming could only leave here with his grandson and servants. After he left, Jin Hanji immediately called Chengjun, Chengfu and others who knew the inside story. They were very upset when they heard that the king wanted Jin Hanji and Chengfu to die of illness.
He was indignant and expressed his determination not to agree, and told all the clan members he met the inside story. Soon, every Jin clan member in Beijing knew the inside story.
Because of the idea of returning to their roots after falling leaves, most of the old people who were no longer serving as officials in the court returned to their original place of Gwangju and were not in Seoul. Most of the Kim clan in Seoul were young and strong. They all opposed obeying the king's order to let Kim Han-gil and Kim Seong-fu die of illness. The public sentiment was like this,
Jin Hanming and others did not dare to go against everyone's wishes, so they could only report to Zhu, not wanting them to die.
If this was all he wanted to do, the matter would soon be known to everyone in Seoul. Now Zhu couldn't deal with the Jin family at all, at least he couldn't deal with the Jin family harshly. He had to discuss it with his father again.
Hearing that the Jin family took the initiative to tell others about this, Zhu Fangyuan hated the Jin family even more. Although he had to withdraw his original order and Jin Hanji and Jin Chengfu did not have to die of illness, he thought about it and could not suppress his anger and summoned Jin Hanji in his own name.
After entering the palace, Jin Hanji was beaten up for being disobedient to the king.
Originally, this was nothing. After all, everyone knew why Zhu Fangyuan resented Kim Han-gil. His order to give Kim Han-gil a beating would not affect the government. Unexpectedly, although Kim Han-gil was in better health than Kim Han-myung, he was already in his fifties after all.
, cannot be compared with young people who died after being beaten and carried home.
At this time, the Jin family is in a fierce mood. Although they dare not say it publicly, they all believe that the king should compensate the Jin family. But Zhu Fangyuan is determined not to compensate the Jin family. Zhu himself feels that the current court is not suitable for a big fight;
Nowadays, people with sufficient qualifications in the Jin family are very mediocre. Not to mention being promoted to high positions, even holding the current official position is a bit reluctant and cannot be promoted at all. Therefore, Zhu only agreed to appoint a few minor officials and was unwilling to promote the Jin family. After Kim Hanji's death, the vacancy was vacant.
Official positions can only be appointed to others.
The Jin family was even more dissatisfied. At this time, someone came from nowhere to instigate, and Jin Chengfu finally made an extremely crazy decision.
On this day, he asked Jin Hanji to enter the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors. Although Jin Hanming was very puzzled that he was worshiping his ancestors at this time, because he was a great hero of the family, he could not refuse and could only agree.
Not only that, he also prepared incense tables and sacrifices for Jin Chengfu.
Jin Chengfu thanked Jin Hanming and walked into the ancestral hall with the incense case and offerings. But to everyone's expectation, although he entered the ancestral hall in the name of worshiping his ancestors, he did not pay too much worship to his ancestors and only knelt down.
He kowtowed a few times and muttered something, then stood up and carefully looked at the decrees of Li Chenggui, Zhu Fangyuan and Zhu three generations of emperors praising the Jin family placed in the ancestral hall. Not only that, he also took out the Ming Dynasty's
Pencil and paper, draw something on the paper.
After a while, he finished the painting, knelt down again, kowtowed to his ancestors a few times, and walked out of the ancestral hall with the incense table, paper and pen.
He returned the incense case to Jin Hanming, returned to his room, took out the piece of paper he had just used in the ancestral hall, and took out a radish, carved for a while, and then covered the radish on another document filled with words.
