Lin Jue stood aside and said softly: "Master's wife, please go take a look first."
Mrs. Fang wiped her tears and shook her head softly: "No, I will go with you. I want to see my husband. I want to see him."
Lin Jue was about to persuade, but Fang Huanqiu sobbed beside him and said: "Brother, my mother and I want to see our father's life and death with our own eyes. He is our relative. You don't have to worry. Please."
Lin Jue sighed, nodded and said: "Okay, Junior Sister, hold on to Junior Sister, let's go see Sir."
A group of people walked along the dark and damp corridor to the Tianzihao prison cell. The prison cell, which was originally noisy with the cries and screams of prisoners, was silent today. It was deathly quiet. The chaotic footsteps of everyone echoed in the prison cell.
, every step closer seems to be stepping heavily on people's hearts.
Two jailers holding lanterns stood outside Tianzi No. 3 and No. 4 prison cells. They stood far away and did not dare to approach the cell fence. The two lanterns flashed like two will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness.
When approaching Cell No. 4, despite strong psychological preparation, Lin Jue was still shocked and screamed when he saw the figure hanging precariously on the top of the fence.
"Sir!" Lin Jue knelt down on the ground, looked up at the swaying body hanging on the rope at the top of the fence and cried loudly. Fang Dunru was already tall, and the height of the prison cell was actually not that big.
It was too high. The height of the fence was only about ten feet high. Fang Dunru's body was almost dragged from the top of the fence to the ground, less than a few feet above the ground. His whole body was covered with hair and his face could not be seen, but Lin Jue could recognize it.
It's Fang Dunru.
"Husband!"
"Daddy!"
The mother and daughter of the Fang family fell to the ground crying, and their heart-wrenching cries echoed throughout the prison cell.
Lin Jue burst into tears and his mind went blank. After learning the news, Lin Jue even had a little fantasy, thinking that the news about the young prince was false. He felt that when he came here, he would see Fang Dunru with his hands behind his back.
Standing here laughing and talking to myself. However, reality is always cruel. All fantasies were shattered the moment he saw Fang Dunru's body. Pain and sorrow filled his heart. The sorrow made Lin feel helpless and almost fainted.
.
In fact, people around Lin Jue know that Lin Jue has always treated Fang Dunru as a father, and Lin Jue does not shy away from this. Even though sometimes this kind of relationship makes people around him feel strange, why does Lin Jue treat Fang Dunru like a father?
It doesn't make sense to explain this by saying that one day is a teacher and a lifetime is a father. Naturally, Lin Jue would not tell them about the emotional origin of Fang Dunru in his previous life. This is why, in Fang Dunru's original life,
The reason why Lin Jue still maintains respect for Fang Dunru despite seemingly ruthlessly suppressing him, or even persecuting himself. As a time traveler, the only thing he had in his previous life was the warmth of the Fang family and his wife. This is
It was the only touch of color in that black and white life. For Lin Jue, it was something extremely profound and unforgettable that he wanted to protect.
Now, facing Fang Dunru's body hanging on the railing, how could Lin Jue not feel heartbroken.
"My young prince, as you ordered, I didn't let them touch the body for fear of damaging the scene." The officer from the Palace Front Division who was guarding the censor's platform said to Guo Kun in a low voice.
Guo Kun nodded and said, "Thank you so much, brother. Let's go have a drink together when we have the opportunity."
The officer nodded and retreated. Guo Kun walked forward slowly, bowed to Fang Dunru's body, leaned over and said in Lin Jue's ear: "Brother-in-law, hurry up, others will come soon after they get the news."
Yes. I need to check it first."
Lin Jue endured his grief and got up. He walked to Mrs. Fang and Fang Huanqiu and whispered: "Master's wife, sister, please forgive me. I'm going to put your husband down. I will check the cause of his death later. Master's wife, sister, please
Why don't you avoid it?"
Mrs. Fang's face was filled with tears, she shook her head and said, "No, we will watch. I want to watch with my own eyes."
Lin Jue had no choice but to turn around and without asking anyone for help, he pulled out his sword, split the iron chain of the fence, and pushed the wooden door in. He walked to Fang Dunru's body, squatted down and pressed his shoulder against Fang Dunru's body.
, holding Fang Dunru's legs tightly with both hands, pushing up with force.
Lin Jue originally thought that the tall Fang Dunru must be very heavy, but when he lifted it up, he found that Fang Dunru's body was light and his legs were very thin. The bones where his hands touched were rugged and extremely hard. Look.
Fang Dunru, who seemed tall and burly, was actually extremely thin. Only his strong bones were still there, which made Lin feel pain in his shoulders.
Lin Jue carefully lifted up Fang Dunru's body and took several times to take his head out of the noose. Then he slowly placed him on the ground as if he was afraid of hurting Mr. Fang. Everyone was holding lanterns.
After gathering around him, Lin Jue squatted on the ground and gently brushed away the messy hair on Fang Dunru's face, revealing the once familiar Qingjun face.
There was no ferocity or terror on that face, no distortion or resentment. Generally, people who hang themselves to death would have ferocious faces, but Mr. Fang did not. There was even a slight smile on his pale face, and his expression was very peaceful.
"Husband!" Mrs. Fang couldn't control herself anymore. She rushed forward and fell on Fang Dunru's body and cried bitterly.
Fang Huanqiu's face was also full of tears. She held Fang Dunru's cold hand and cried sadly. There is nothing more tragic in life than the separation of relatives and friends. When a person falls into the confusion forever, the most painful thing is actually their family members.
It is difficult for other people to understand this. The death of a loved one who has been with you day and night, and they are separated from each other and never see each other again. This kind of pain is the most real pain, and it is a hundred times more painful than the scars on the body.
Over there, Guo Kun ordered people to remove Yan Zhengsheng's body from the railing and put the two bodies together. In order to prevent Mrs. Fang and Fang Huanqiu from damaging the scars, Lin Jue had to persuade Mrs. Fang and Huanqiu to
In mourning for the Autumn Festival, Huanqiu was asked to stand beside the master, who was about to faint. Lin Jue took matters into his own hands, kneeling next to the body and inspecting it carefully.
What Lin Jue wants to check is whether the two adults died of suicide. If it was homicide, the injuries must be different. There will also be traces of fighting and scratches on the body, which can lead to suspicion. But after careful inspection, Fang Dun
There were no signs of a violent struggle on the bodies of Ru and Yan Zhengsheng. Comparing the marks on the neck, they were only traces of a rope, which corroborated the traces of the rope used to commit suicide. It was not found that they were killed first.
Then he faked signs of suicide.
At the same time, judging from the method of suicide, if someone forcibly hangs two adults on a wooden railing, there will be no traces of binding their hands and feet, so the struggle will definitely leave scratches on the railing. On the railing
If you commit suicide on the stairs, if you don't know that you want to die, you won't even be able to do it at all. Because the railings can be used for strength, your hands and feet will hug and loosen when they touch the railings. This is an instinctive behavior. But this is not the case at all. Two adults
There are no sawdust from the railing in my fingernails, and there are no scratches on the wooden railing.
Combining all these factors, Lin Jue made a preliminary judgment. First, the two adults were killed elsewhere, and then their bodies were moved here and hung on the wooden railing to fake the suicide scene. Second, the two adults were real.
He committed suicide and wanted to die, so he didn't struggle at all and even had a smile on his face.
Lin Jue and Guo Kun consulted the jailer and the officer guarding the Yushitai, and learned that the two adults had been in the cell since yesterday evening. Lord Fang also asked the jailer for a bottle of wine, because Lin Jue had beaten him
After giving the money, the jailer satisfied their wishes. During this period, the two adults never left the prison cell, and no one came into contact with them.
"By the way, Mr. Fang asked for paper and pen and said he wanted to write. So we gave it to him. He also asked for a rope. He said that the bed he slept on was a little loose and he wanted to tie it up with a rope. We didn't think much about it.
So we gave it to him. Just now we took a look, and the hanging rope... was the one we gave him. It was cut in two halves, and each of the two adults had half a rope, but it was used as a life-threatening sling..."
The jailer's words made things clear. When a letter placed on the pillow of the small bed in the prison cell was found, the whole matter became clear.
That was a letter of death.
"Yufang Dunru, I am writing the last book here today. When this book is completed, it will be the time of someone's death. By the time you see this book, someone will have become a ghost under the spring. I wrote this book to express my heart
In other words, teach new friends, old friends, family members and colleagues to know what Fang is thinking in his heart, so that there will be no misunderstandings."
"... I have been studying in the library since I was a boy. Every time I read the history of the country, I shed tears. The difficulties faced by the emperors and ministers in starting a business were unprecedented. They opened up new territories and expanded their territory, rushing east and west, and finally achieved success.
The great unification of the country and the country in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The hardships and hatreds can be imagined. Because of this, I often wonder, how can future generations forget the difficulties of their ancestors in starting a business, and how can they not manage this country and the country well?"
"...As the saying goes, it is difficult to start a business, but it is even harder to keep it. Since the emperors of the past dynasties came down, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have worked hard and diligently for the country, and worked together from top to bottom. Over the course of a hundred years, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have become a prosperous and prosperous country with a peaceful and peaceful people.
The heaven is above the country. All the countries in the world worship, worship, and bow their heads. Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty said, "Nine heavens open the palace, and all the countries worship the crown." This poem is not an exaggeration when I put it in the Zhou Dynasty. I was young.
The trip to Beijing coincided with the late emperor's birthday. Envoys from various countries filed into the court to congratulate him, and people from all over the world paid their respects. What a majestic atmosphere, what kind of noble demeanor? From that time on, I made up my mind to serve the Great Zhou Dynasty and vowed to
Contribute to the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty and break the trajectory of prosperity and decline in previous dynasties. To this end, Yu has read a lot of books and traveled around the world, hoping to gain knowledge and serve the country..."
"... After becoming an official, I never dared to forget the oath I made back then. I had a warning banner that I carried with me at all times and hung on my bedside. I looked at it morning and night without daring or forgetting. That was 'To stand for heaven and earth.
The heart is to establish a destiny for the people, to carry forward the unique knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations.' Some people may think that Fang's words are too arrogant, but Fang thinks that this should be the ambition of everyone in our great Zhou Dynasty, and everyone must
Only with a sense of responsibility and a desire to serve the country can we achieve great things, I don’t think this is an exaggeration.”
"...However, when I was young, I didn't know the difficulties of the world and the complexity of national affairs. I always thought that everything would be done in one fell swoop and everything would be easy. I was full of ambition and had no obstacles. After I became an official, I would know how difficult it is to do things. But I am older.
The evils that had accumulated over the past century broke out and the country became weaker day by day. It was extravagant and extravagant, and the country's strength declined. He was hit hard, but there was no way to save him, so he chose to resign and go into seclusion and return to Songshan Academy to teach. Some people say that our words are not true, and if he is in trouble, he will
Retreat, Fang doesn't want to argue. But in fact, although Fang is a professor and student, he is actually thinking about ways to save the country and how to solve the crisis of our country's declining rivers. He is in the chaos of the court, but he doesn't know the crux of the problem. As the saying goes,'
I don't know the true face of Mount Lu just because I am in this mountain.' After being far away from the court, Fang slowly understood the problem and formed some countermeasures in his mind..."
"...Yes, the countermeasure is that the long-standing evils need to be changed, and they must be determined. Only by having the heart of a martyr to cut off their wrists can we eliminate the long-standing evils. Only by having the heart of breaking the bones can we set things right and put everything back on track.
On the right track. If we want to revitalize our great Zhou Dynasty, we must break and then stand up. We must not follow the rules and look forward and backward. That is to carry out a major change from head to toe. Fortunately, Fang’s idea was echoed by Brother Zhengsu.
Being able to find a like-minded person like Brother Zhengsu, Fang has no regrets in his life. Fang and Brother Zhengsu were like meeting each other in childhood, and they felt like confidants. More importantly, after he ascended the throne, the emperor also determined to change the current decline of national power.
The situation of the river was declining day by day. It was only with this determination that it was possible to change the status quo. The emperor showed great concern and inquired about countermeasures. We spoke freely and had a deep conversation. Only then did Fang accept the appointment of brother Zhengsu and enter the capital to become an official and initiate the reform.
thing."
"...It can be said that the past three years since entering Beijing to carry out the reform have been the most painful three years in Fang's life. These three years can be said to have consumed Fang's life-long energy and endured suffering that Fang has never experienced before.
and torture. Every time Fang turned to the mirror and looked at himself, he saw that day by day he changed from black hair to white hair, from health to decline. From the black-haired and healthy man who walked through the mountains and fields like flying, he turned into a toothless man.
A bald and aging person. These three years are no more than thirty years for Fang. But in fact, the physical suffering is nothing. He rests only after three shifts a day and five shifts a day.
The hard work I put in was nothing. The thing that caused me the most suffering was actually inside my heart. There were many obstacles to the reform from the very beginning, with constant criticism from all sides and a flood of accusations and relegations. This kind of pressure is what caused Fang and Mr. Yan to
Fang dare not say that he has not been shaken by the pressure he is facing. There was a time when he thought about hanging up his hat and leaving, not getting involved in this troubled matter, and living a free life in the mountains and fields. However, when he was young, he had the ambition of the country and the world dawned.
How can I ignore the suffering of the people and the danger of the country and the country? How can I realize my ambition of "establishing a heart for the heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge of the past saints, and creating peace for all generations"? So I have suffered countless times.
During the process, Fang persisted. To this day, when Fang decided to die in hell, he still did not regret his original choice. That was what Fang wanted to do in his life, and he had no regrets or regrets.
!”
"...The reform cannot be said to be flawless. In fact, the reform did bring huge disturbances and some disadvantages. But this is expected and not worth making a fuss about. Since ancient times, the difficulty of reform has been that it is difficult to solve it.
When Chen Lixin proposed something, some people must come out to oppose it, because it would hurt the interests of some people. But from the perspective of the country, these are not a problem. The purpose of the reform is to "enrich the country and strengthen the army." As long as this purpose is achieved,
It is worth paying any price. These are all things that we expected when we decided to change the law. But what we didn't expect was that these disturbances did hinder the implementation of the new law, and even intensified and became uncontrollable. Against Fang and Mr. Yan
The criticisms have been constant, and we actually don’t pay attention to these. But the emperor may not be mentally prepared for this. People with ulterior motives attribute all kinds of blame to the reform, which makes people extremely angry. That’s why Fang said the three shortcomings
The original intention of the words was to address the reform, not to offend the emperor. If someone wants to ask, does Fang regret making such remarks? Fang can make it clear here that Fang will never regret it. That is Fang.
What Fang Mou said in his heart. What Fang Mou is sad about is not the criticism and consequences caused by these remarks. What makes Fang Mou sad is that before this, the emperor’s heart for reform was already weak. If there was no decisive will from the beginning, how could the reform be accomplished?
?Reform is by no means a sudden rise, nor is it a matter of deafening words. What is more needed is trust, an understanding of its essence, and an understanding of the purpose of all actions. Once suspicion arises, others will take advantage of it, and the reform will be difficult to implement.
Continue."
"Fang is familiar with history books and knows that those who reformed in ancient times never ended well. During the Warring States Period, Wu started to reform, and the result was that the city was torn apart. Qin Shangjun's reform brought the Qin Dynasty to dominate the world, and it was inevitable that he was torn apart from the city. Qu Yuan's reform in Chu State,
In the end, he threw himself into the river and perished. Chao Chao of the Han Dynasty made a mistake in his reform, and Chao made his death. Wang Mang made a political reform, and Wang Mang died. There are countless examples like this. Regardless of whether he is successful or unsuccessful, he cannot escape the fate of death. Which one? It is nothing more than moving.
It's just the interests of some people. Mr. Fang, Mr. Yan, has already thought clearly about the reform since he decided to do so. He has already decided to risk his own life and has already put life and death aside. The only thing the two of us want is to achieve.
With the wish of enriching the country and strengthening the army, let us revive the Great Zhou Dynasty and last for eternity. Let the government be harmonious and clear, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Let us make the Great Zhou Dynasty the most powerful and prosperous country in the world today. As long as we can achieve this goal, what will happen to death?
It's a pity that we were unable to achieve this goal. When we were imprisoned, we knew that all this had left us and that our ambition could not be realized. The new law was abolished and our hard work was in vain.
Since the two of us came for the reform, what reason do we have to stand in this world now? The criticism of the young people is nothing to us. We can face it with a smile and dismiss it. But the reform is
The end is the end of our lives. Therefore, Fang chose to die to thank the world and to clarify his will. If our great Zhou Dynasty Reform had to require someone to bleed and die, Fang and Master Yan would be the first in the world to shed their blood for the reform.
Hot-blooded. This is the original intention of Fang and Master Yan to die in hell. Others don’t need to speculate..."
"Bingyun, my wife, and Huanqiu, my son, forgive me for doing this. I know you will be very sad, but everyone is mortal. If you don't go today, you will inevitably have to part with me in ten, twenty, thirty years. You too
Don't resent me. You are my relatives. You should know my heart's aspirations. I am going here to fulfill my heart's wish. You should tolerate my selfishness for the last time. Bingyun, my wife, as my husband, I hope you take care of yourself and enjoy your life.
, Don't be sad. Dunru has owed you a lot in this life, so there is no need to say too much. If I are reborn, I will tie a grass ring to repay your kindness in this life. I have been poor all my life, my family has only four walls, and I have no savings. There are several acres of thin farmland in my hometown.
A few broken houses will save you from hunger and cold. My son, don’t blame your father. A man who stands in this world should do something, and he must do something. Father, if you die, you must do it.
From now on, you should be filial to your mother, take care of your husband and teach your children, and your father will be smiling."
"Dear old friends and new friends, Fang Dunru would like to say goodbye to you here. I would like to tell one of you in particular that Fang has high hopes for you. Don't forget what Fang said. You should make a difference. A person stands between heaven and earth.
, If you only do it for yourself, this life will be meaningless. You should take the world as your own responsibility, establish a destiny for all people, and think about the country and the country. When I put down my pen, I sent my favorite poem to encourage you, and we will say goodbye forever! The poem says:
There are pines on Tingting Mountain, and there is a strong wind in Sese Valley. The sound of the wind is strong, and the pine branches are strong. The frost is miserable, and the whole year is always upright. Isn’t it cold, and the pines and cypresses have their own nature. Fang Dunru’s final painting was on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.
night!"
Lin Jue read this final letter in silence, not knowing what he felt in his heart. Pain, regret, attachment and reverence, all kinds of emotions came to his heart, and he stood there blankly, with tears streaming down his face.
Fang Huanqiu took the last letter from Lin Jue's hand, read the handwriting to confirm that it was correct, and then read the contents of the letter, hugged the letter to his chest, and cried out in sorrow again.
