52. Chapter 52 I will add a cover to the capital (two chapters in one)


For civil and military officials, today is a day worthy of being recorded in history!

Just today, in the Jinluan Palace, right under the eyes of the emperor, and in full view of all the officials, the upright Yushi Jin actually hit a pillar!

It is nothing new for civil servants to bump into each other, but Jin Yushi was the first person to do so without hesitation and anger.

In the past, civil servants bumped into each other just for show.

One gestured as if he was going to hit me: "Don't stop me, no one can stop me!"

A group of extras blocked it: "No, you must not. If you have any shortcomings, the Holy Spirit will feel sorry for you."

The ladder was handed to the emperor, and the emperor coughed lightly: "My dear, why are you doing this, me."

Until much later, when the courtiers recalled what happened that day, they would still be amazed by how Jin Yushi looked at death at that moment.

With the determination of moths flying into the flames and the calmness of being shattered into pieces, with that bang, blood flowers flew all over the sky. It was the dream of a boy studying hard in the cold window in the snow and ice. It was the petals embroidered by the girl with love silk in the peach blossom in March. , that is the lime chant chanted in the hearts of young officials countless times.

Jin Yushi's thin body collapsed suddenly, which touched everyone's heartstrings.

As Jin Yushi fell, the courtiers who had been questioning him just now felt a little guilty.

Before today, whenever Jin Yushi opened his mouth, everything he said was harmful to the dark side.

For example, Uncle Yan'an, who had just been fined a year's salary not long ago, took his concubine to a banquet, but did not bring his wife.

When this incident came out of Jin Yushi's mouth, it was magnified infinitely. He spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife, corrupted morals, disrespected the sages, brought trouble to the general order, and was beyond reason.

There is also the prince Baoqing, who lost money in gambling. When Baoqing found out, he scolded his son, and the story ended.

However, Jin Yushi involved both father and son together. Baoqinghou was not strict in running the family and indulged his son in gambling, so he was not worthy of being a father. Baoqinghou's son was arrogant, extravagant and lustful, did not distinguish between grains, and was not diligent in all aspects of life, so he was not worthy of being a son.

In the end, Baoqing Hou broke one of his son's legs in tears, and the matter was settled.

Therefore, when Jin Yushi said today that he had a book to report, everyone thought that he was going to join the people again today.

But no one expected that Jin Yushi did not participate. Instead, with tears in his eyes, he begged the emperor passionately to let the prince of Liang return to his roots and his soul to his homeland. He could not attend the funeral for his father when he was alive, but he had to die in death. In front of his father's grave.

Not going to the funeral is unfilial.

He died in front of his father's grave as an apology.

Jin Yushi cited classics and made impassioned remarks. As a bystander, he stated the importance of Prince Liang's return to his roots.

How important is it?

That is, if Liang Shizi dies in the capital, someone will follow his example. When his father is sick, the son will pretend to be sick and not attend to him. When his father dies, the son will hide the news and avoid Ding You.

Jin Yushi quoted an incident that happened in Luoshi County two years ago.

At that time, it was the year of the college entrance examination. Luo Shizhi County had done a lot of planning and was looking forward to promotion. However, his father was seriously ill in his hometown and the medicine was ineffective.

So the magistrate of Luo Shi sealed his father in a cave, but told the outside world that his father was saved by a traveling immortal Taoist. After recovering from his illness, he traveled with the immortal Taoist.

At that time, the Supreme Emperor entered the longevity palace to cultivate immortality, and aristocratic families donated money to build Taoist temples. Therefore, the magistrate of Luo Shi deceived everyone with this statement, and it was even written into the county annals by Ah Fu's flatterers.

Soon after, the magistrate was promoted to magistrate and left Luoshi County.

After the new magistrate arrived, someone sent him two beautiful concubines. The magistrate was so obsessed with his beautiful concubines that he neglected his first wife. The lady was furious, and when they quarreled with her, she spoke indiscriminately and ordered him to seal his father into a cave. And the story of starving to death came out.

So this matter spread through word of mouth among the maids, and reached the ears of interested people. The secret report was given to the prefect. However, this prefect took the position that the prefect originally wanted to arrange for his own people, so the prefect listened. After talking about the incident, he made some arrangements, gathered witnesses and physical evidence, and reported the case to Dali Temple.

The case caused a sensation, and Emperor Yongjia personally intervened, and the magistrate was eventually sentenced to Lingchi.

Now that Jin Yushi has brought this case out, before the incident involving Prince Liang, someone killed his biological father in order to escape Ding You. At that time, the court imposed a heavy sentence to serve as a warning to others.

But now the dignified prince of Liang did not go back to attend the funeral for his father, and abandoned his widowed mother and young brother. Even if he was really sick, what would the world think?

Does it mean you can disrespect your parents just by claiming to be sick?

Therefore, Prince Liang’s move was a big mistake.

Jin Yushi believed that although Prince Liang had his reasons, he did behave unfilially.

How to eliminate the impact of this incident on the government and the public, he must make atonement in front of his father's grave. He must return to Liang to stay in his house and observe filial piety. Even if he dies, he must die in front of the tomb of King Liang.

There is no way, Prince Liang's status is too high and his influence is too great. He can only eliminate the influence of this incident by making up for his unfilial piety. Otherwise, it is inevitable that there will be a second and third Luoshi County Magistrate.

The king is like this, the officials are like this, but what about the people?

A gentleman should stick to his roots, and the Tao will be born from his roots. Being a filial brother is the foundation of benevolence!

Filial piety is the foundation of human beings. If you are not filial to your biological parents, how can you talk about being loyal to the court?

If things go on like this, the dynasty will be in danger.

When Jin Yushi got excited, he touched his head against the pillar and made his ambition clear with blood!

Emperor Yongjia's expression was gloomy and unclear. He couldn't say whether he liked or disliked Yushi Jin. However, before today, Yushi Jin was very useful.

The Yong Dynasty has been in existence for more than 120 years. In addition to the eight kings, the clans in Beijing are also intertwined, as well as those nobles who are self-righteous based on their ancestors' military achievements. These people are a thorn in his side, but he They can't all seize titles or confiscate their homes. Just like the Liang Prince's Mansion, they can't do everything. They can only be subtle and subtle, turning them from ambitious wolves into obedient dogs.

So he needs people like Jin Yushi. He needed people like him before and will need them in the future. There must be such people in the court at all times.

But he didn't expect that this time, Jin Yushi's big battle would be for Prince Liang.

Emperor Yongjia didn't believe that this was Jin Yushi's own decision.

Jin Yushi valued his reputation very much, so he mostly attacked people who had a poor reputation in the first place.

For example, Prince Baoqing was a well-known dandy in the capital.

Another example is that Xiao Consort, who was impeached by him, kept an extramarital affair without telling the eldest princess, and was cast aside by the entire royal family.

What Jin Yushi is best at is to portray himself as a good and upright official by beating up the fallen dog.

But now, everyone in the capital knew that Zhao Tinghan was going to die soon. Moreover, Prince Liang's palace was in turmoil, which already aroused sympathy. Given Jin Yushi's usual behavior, he would not choose Zhao Tinghan as a target.

Emperor Yongjia has decided to let the Jin Yiwei keep an eye on Jin Yushi after he goes to court.

Jin Yushi's collision not only broke his own head, but also caused a lot of approval.

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

At this moment, a chamberlain ran in quickly and whispered a few words in the ear of Eunuch Li, the eunuch in charge. Eunuch Li's expression changed slightly.

Eunuch Li's strange behavior did not escape the eyes of Emperor Yongjia. He said calmly: "Mr. Returning to Liang, alas, Liang Shizi is Liang Shizi. The prince's eldest son, I watched him grow up, how can I bear to see him." The emperor did not say the next words, and the ministers secretly guessed in their hearts, not knowing whether the emperor could not bear to see Zhao Tinghan die in the capital, or whether he could not bear to see him. Saw him dead on the road.

No minister in the court is really a fool.

Why didn't Zhao Tinghan return to Liang for the funeral?

Is he really too sick to get up?

As a son of man, even if he cannot get up, he must be carried back.

But Zhao Tinghan did not go back. Even a fool could see that someone was not letting him go back. Zhao Tinghan was afraid that he would not even be able to leave Prince Liang's mansion.

Hearing that the second son of Prince Liang had mediocre qualifications and was docile and observant, there was no doubt that in the emperor's opinion, this little-known second son was far more suitable to inherit the throne than Zhao Tinghan, who had grown up in the bloody storm of the capital since childhood.

Fortunately, Zhao Tinghan was frail and sick, otherwise who knows whether he would have followed the footsteps of the Prince of Wu and died in an unknown manner.

So the emperor asked the imperial physician to see Zhao Tinghan, which sounded like he was concerned about Zhao Tinghan's health. In fact, as long as the imperial physician said that Zhao Tinghan's body could not bear the pain of traveling, then Zhao Tinghan would stay in the capital and die there.

Because once he is released from the capital, it will be like letting the tiger return to the mountain.

If he dies, that's it. What if he doesn't die and survives?

Could the emperor still not decree that he should inherit the throne?

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Of course not.

At this moment, the innocent and kind-hearted one rushed over to accompany Jin Yushi in the charge, while the cunning and cunning one remained silent.

Today's court meeting ended in this weird atmosphere.

Emperor Yongjia saw the sudden change in Eunuch Li's face just now, as well as many civil and military officials.

Eunuch Li has always shown his emotions and anger. What happened today that caused his expression to change drastically?

I don’t know if this happened inside the palace or outside the palace.

However, the ministers who had this question soon had the answer.

As soon as they left the palace, their servant waiting outside the palace told the truth.

A vision is coming from the sky, something big is going to happen in the capital!

At this time, Emperor Yongjia also knew about this from Eunuch Li.

Even Jin Yushi, who had just been bandaged by the imperial doctor, heard about it.

The ministers outside the palace were surprised by the vision that had just happened and perhaps was still going on now. Then they did not even go back to the Yamen, but got on their own sedans or carriages and headed to the place where the incident occurred.

Emperor Yongjia frowned deeply. Whether it was good or bad, as long as there was a vision from the sky, it was a big deal for the emperor.

It was inconvenient for Emperor Yongjia to leave the palace. He called Lu Gan, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and asked Lu Gan to go and see for himself. If it was really a celestial phenomenon, that would be fine. If someone caused trouble behind his back, Lu Gan could do whatever he wanted.

Jin Yushi sat down on the ground with a thud, and his already painful butt hurt even more from the fall.

It's too scary, those people are too scary, the people in Prince Liang's Mansion are too scary.

Jin Yushi didn't dare to think that if he didn't speak up and hit the pillar today, then

Jin Yushi suddenly remembered the crows he saw at Thunder Temple last night.

Before he could enter the door, a group of crows flew out of the Thunder Temple.

Although he was startled at that time, he didn't care.

But now it seems too terrible, too terrible.

Crow, it’s really a crow. How can there be so many coincidences in this world? It’s clear that there is an expert in Prince Liang’s palace, no, a god or an immortal, who can understand everything, drive away gods and raise ghosts, and make soldiers by spreading beans. Immortal!

The place where this vision occurred was Kuixing Tower.

Time goes back to an hour ago.

The closer the day of the provincial examination is, the more and more scholars come to the capital to prepare for the examination.

The first thing these scholars did when they stepped into the capital was not to stay in an inn, but to go straight to Kuixing Tower to pay their respects to Master Kuixing.

Only in this way can their sincerity be reflected.

On the day before the exam, they would come and worship for the second time.

When the list is released and they see the names on the list, they will come to Kuixing Tower again, this time to thank them, or to fulfill their wishes.

The closest thing at this time is the provincial examination in August. After the provincial examination, those who come to Kuixinglou to pay their respects will be the masters of the exam.

In February next year, candidates from all over the country will rush to the capital from all directions to participate in the triennial examination. Some families who have no shortage of money leave for the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At that time, it was still the same process. As soon as you entered the capital, you would come to worship Kuixing, then come again, and come again. Those who passed the exam would stay in the capital, waiting to take the palace examination. Of course, they still had to come to worship Kuixing, and this process went through again.

Throughout the civil and military dynasties, there was no one who had not taken the imperial examination and became an official without coming to pay homage to Kuixing.

Over the years, thanks to countless scholars from generation to generation, the Kuixing Tower area has become the busiest and most prosperous place in the capital.

Today, when all the civil and military officials entered the palace to attend the court meeting, another group of scholars entered the capital.

Either alone or with servants, carrying luggage and book boxes, they came to Kuixing Tower full of hope.

Bang bang bang, several heads kowtowed. When they raised their heads, they saw that all around them and behind them were students like themselves.

At this moment, their emotions were extremely complicated.

These people are all my competitors. I have to use the pen in my hand to fight my way through them, and then kill them all the way until I reach the emperor.

The scholar had mixed feelings and walked out of the hall with a nervous but excited heart. This was the capital. This was the first time for him to come to this place that fascinated him.

Hey, why is it dark?

Obviously when we first entered, the sun was still shining brightly, but now the sky is dark.

Is it going to rain?

The scholar subconsciously looked up at the sky, and the next moment he was stunned.

Wherever I looked up, I could see a sea of ​​black crows, like ink clouds pressing overhead, but it also seemed like a storm was about to come.

The scholar exclaimed because he saw a crow, a crow!

Countless crows hover in the sky, as if they have put a lid on this prosperous and beautiful capital city! (End of chapter)
