In fact, this case was not time-consuming to try, because Magistrate Miao felt that he had a "clear conscience," so it was easy to prosecute.
What Tang Shijin didn't expect was that as soon as the case got out, it would trigger a lot of discussion, and many people thought he was "excusable"!
Because Magistrate Miao really donated everything without reservation, and because most of what he snatched was related to "calligraphy and painting" and seemed quite elegant, many people actually sympathized with him and were divided into two groups!
This reminds me of Kong Yiji who stole books but did not count as stealing...
There are many scholars in this era who really feel that they are superior to others. Deep down, they don’t really care about the lives of the common people who are digging in the soil, so they feel that they are excusable! Even if such people succeed in the imperial examination and become officials, they will not care about it. He wouldn't be a good official.
Tang Shijin collected some opposing views and wrote them very well. At first glance, they seemed to be articles written by people from the heart. He was going to send them to the officials when the results came out, and they would suppress them during the imperial examination.
Then he wrote to Yan Baiwei, Shen Yiyi and Tao Chengqi respectively, asking them to write an article to express their support.
Because this matter also involved her, Magistrate Miao also consciously hugged her lap, so some people came to ask her opinion.
Tang Shijin expressed his position in public without hesitation: "I only regard him as a sincere and kind gentleman, so I admire him very much, but I never expected that he is actually this kind of person! It's because I don't understand people well and I misjudged him!" "
Someone said: "But Mr. Miao donated all this money to the people!"
"So what! What he donated was not his money at all!"
Tang Shijin said: "The national law is sacred and cannot be violated! In my opinion, even if a person does good deeds all his life, but kills someone, it is 'his feelings are pitiable but the law cannot tolerate'! What's more, his kindness contains countless hidden things. Blood and human life! If you think your situation is excusable, then you might as well think about it, if someone killed your family, took away your family heirlooms, and donated them, would you be willing to do so?"
In a sense, her statement can be regarded as a slap in the face.
Anyway, when the news reached the ears of Miao County Magistrate, Miao County Magistrate was frightened at that time, and then he screamed in jail and wanted to see her... However, no one paid attention to him.
Han Liuguang also wrote articles and excerpts on the matter, including the views of the two factions and Tang Shijin's statement.
Han Liuguang was not stupid, so he chose the younger brother of the Zhao family, who loved painting and was obsessed with painting, as the starting point. Maybe it was because of preconceptions, or maybe Tang Shijin's theory of the sanctity of national law was too central. Anyway, Emperor Yuan Sheng firmly stood with her in the same school, calling her The magistrate of Miao County is a "hypocrite with a human face and an animal heart."
I don't know if it was because of this incident that he remembered her, so Emperor Yuan Sheng gave her an oral order, allowing her to return to the capital for the New Year and return to Jiangnan after the opening of the seal.
This was an unexpected surprise.
It was already the twelfth lunar month, and when the messenger arrived, it was time for her to leave, so Tang Shijin wrote to Baoqing Mansion in advance, asking them to come over first, pretending that they were coming to celebrate the New Year, and then waiting for the decree to arrive, to pack up Pack up and return to Beijing.
Not only the news came over, but articles written by several people were also sent over.
This time, Tang Shijin felt that Shen Yiyi wrote the best one!
It's short, sharp, and poignant, and she can understand it. She described Magistrate Miao's behavior as murder and then giving you a good burial...
Scholars, sometimes the more incompetent you are, the more you like to act arrogant. No matter how reasonable what you say is, I just don’t like to hear it. But when a scholar who is better than me says it, I immediately: Oh, oh, so that’s how it is... Takami Good advice! Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!
Tang Shijin only waited for Emperor Yuan Sheng's assertion and the articles of these people to come over, and then look at the faces of those who claimed that "you don't understand things about scholars"!
In the midst of his busy schedule, Tang Shijin did not forget to summon Dongshan and ask about Wang Zhongyan.
It was also a coincidence that just a few days ago, on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the woman gave birth to a little boy weighing seven pounds. The birth went smoothly and the mother and child were safe.
It can be considered as living up to the trust.
Within a few days, people from Baoqing Mansion arrived.
Because he had to come back after the New Year, Tang Shijin only brought two hundred brocade guards with him, leaving two thousand households behind. Jiang Hu and Yu Zhifei all came with them, and Tang Liansheng and Tang Shijin also specifically asked them to bring them with them.
Hua Shenglin said: "Master, why don't you let Xiaosi go back this time, and I will stay to look after the family."
"It's really not possible." Tang Shijin said: "Xiaosi is an official of the imperial court. If he doesn't get the order, he can't return to Beijing."
Hua Shenglin was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh: "Xiaosi is really the destiny of the beast that controls the house!"
Tang Shijin smiled and said: "That's true, but this time, even if I can take her, he may not want to follow me. It's been more than a month, and I can't see my wife too much... Isn't that right, Lu'er?"
Xu Tianlu was embarrassed and laughed. Hua Shenglin asked him curiously: "Is it really so good to have a wife?"
Xu Tianlu thought for a while and replied seriously: "I don't know yet!"
Hua Shenglin: "..."
He came from a humble background, so how could he not understand? He turned away speechlessly.
Within a few days, people from the palace arrived.
On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the group set out on the road.
This time, because she was returning from Jiangnan, there were so many people to give gifts to, so she bought a lot of them, many big cars, and she moved very slowly.
It was not until the afternoon of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month that we entered the capital.
Tang Shijin returned home, changed his clothes, and went to the palace first.
After waiting outside the royal study for more than a quarter of an hour, a tall eunuch with a white face walked out slowly. When he saw her, he bowed with a smile and saluted, saying: "My lord, I'm glad to meet you."
Tang Shijin pretended not to know: "Are you??"
He said: "Xiaguanxi Jishi Factory Wang Zhi."
Tang Shijin said: "It turns out to be Mr. Wang. I have admired your name for a long time, but this is the first time I've met. I'm glad to meet you."
She has always done a good job in saving face, especially asking the adults not to call them father-in-law and governor-general. Even Wang Zhi listened and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the Duke of Guo has been blessed with wealth, and I am really envious of my subordinates. I have always thought about it.
Let’s get acquainted.”
At this time, Wang Zhongyan came out and said: "Duke Xuanqing comes to see you."
Tang Shijin cupped his hands and said, "Master Wang, talk to you later!" and hurried in.
After a straightforward performance with Emperor Yuan Sheng, Jun Zhengchen, Wang Zhongyan walked her off for a few steps when she came out. When she saw no one around, she whispered: "On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, mother and son are safe."
Wang Zhongyan was overjoyed, bent down even more, and sent her out.
Tang Shijin went to see the prince again.
She deliberately collected some interesting bits and pieces and sent them to the East Palace. When the time comes, it will give people the impression of "everything I see reminds me of you." The prince was inspecting it with a smile. When he saw her, he said: "Qingquan, come quickly!
I miss you so much!"
Tang Shijin smiled and saluted: "I also miss your highness very much."
