"Brother Imperial, I heard that there was a police force in Daming Garden, so I brought my guards to rescue you. Fortunately, when I arrived, the rebellion had been suppressed. However, I wonder if Brother Huang could be frightened by this. What should I do for you?"
Zhu Youjian asked when he saw Zhu Youxiao.
"Don't be so nervous, they're just some thieves."
As Zhu Youxiao said this, he ordered Yuan Keli: "Yuan Aiqing, you go out with Wei Zhongxian immediately and tell all the officials at home and abroad not to act rashly unless it is the purpose. The mutiny has been suppressed. I have nothing to do, and neither do the concubines, concubines, or heirs in the harem." Anyone who dares to spread rumors and create panic will be killed immediately once found out!"
"According to the order!"
Yuan Keli and Wei Zhongxian replied.
So, next, although Liu Ruoyu held a military remonstrance, it did not cause much fluctuation.
Although a group of eunuchs who used to be the spies installed by the powerful gentry in the palace but were now following Liu Ruoyu to remonstrate with him were captured.
But because the Ming Emperor now holds military power, and uses the clan, nobles, generals, civil servants, and relatives to check and balance each other, even if the powerful gentry who secretly placed secret agents in the palace were uneasy because of this, they did not dare to make a big fuss. thing.
And Liu Ruoyu, who has been imprisoned, also knows that his next end will definitely not be any better than Liu Jin in history.
When he thought of this, he felt quite unwilling and had a strong desire to express himself.
In addition, Liu Ruoyu still wants to save himself now. He no longer hopes that Emperor Zhu Youxiao can forgive him, but he still hopes that he can escape death and wait for the chance to make a comeback in the future.
Some people, once they don't have something that satisfies their heart and soul during their lifetime, they won't even be willing to die.
Liu Ruoyu himself was born in Nei Shu Tang, and he was one of those eunuchs with a very high level of education.
Therefore, he decided to write a book to complete a self-help activity by writing a book.
Logically speaking, prisoners are not in a position to write books while in prison.
It was impossible for a prisoner in Ming Dynasty to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for a prisoner.
But Liu Ruoyu has this condition.
Because he has been running an internal factory all year round, his relationship network is too complicated. Although he does not have many foreign ministers on the surface, he can still get in touch with outside officials through some bribed jailers.
"Tell them, our family is not afraid of being silenced by them. How can we, the admiral, have been in charge of the inner factory for so many years? It is easy to say that our family will not be silenced, but if our family is silenced, then their Everything will be revealed. If you don’t believe it, just tell them and let them try it.”
At this time, Liu Ruoyu spoke to a jailer who was bribed by some powerful nobles outside.
Although many powerful gentry's detailed works have now fallen into the hands of the imperial court due to the military advice organized by Liu Ruoyu, this does not mean that Liu Ruoyu did not have secrets that some powerful gentry whose detailed works did not fall into the hands of the imperial court were suspected of having spies in the palace.
Therefore, Liu Ruoyu still threatened some courtiers with confidence.
The jailer therefore replied: "They asked me to tell you that they are gentlemen, and you, Mr. Liu, are also gentlemen. How can gentlemen and gentlemen use shady means! Don't worry, they know that you have no choice but to sympathize with your plight, so , I ask the little one to take good care of you. If you have any requests, just ask, as long as the little one can do it, the little one will definitely help you."
Liu Ruoyu said: "Our family needs pens, ink, paper and inkstones."
Therefore, Liu Ruoyu wrote his own book while on death row, and he named his book "Zi Zhong Zhi", which was a history of what he saw and heard in the court based on his own vision. Class Notes.
Liu Ruoyu had nothing to do in prison, so he had plenty of time to write a book. He could write a lot every day, and he finished the book "Ziuzhongzhi" in a short time.
Although his "Zi Zhong Zhi" is just a historical note on the surface, it actually reminds the courtiers outside that he knows them in detail and knows the scandalous things they do behind the scenes, and requires them to think about it. We have to find a way to save him, otherwise, what has been spread to the market this time is Zuizhongzhi, and it will become a crime for hundreds of officials to spy on the secrets of the palace in the future.
"Take this book out and give it to them. We believe they know what we mean. If our family can't survive, they won't be able to survive either!"
After Liu Ruoyu finished writing "Zi Zhong Zhi", he handed the written book to the jailer.
…
"The eldest uncle Feng Quan is keen on dressing up. Every time he goes to court for duty, he will carry two or three pairs of boots and several bright clothes in his suitcase. When walking on the road, he frequently brushes the dust off his boots and looks after himself many times. , the mirror never leaves the body, the official hat and uniform are extremely luxurious..."
After Feng Quan read the "Ziuzhongzhi" handed over by Zhu Yanxi, he was very shocked: "Why is it so detailed! What else does he know about us? How can this person named Liu be so hateful?"
Zhu Yanxi also said: "No one knows what else he knows, but everyone understands that the secret meaning is that we must find a way to save him. Otherwise, no one knows what kind of "Juzhongzhi" will suddenly appear again. Even more detailed records!”
Zhu Yanxi looked at the other civil servants as he spoke: "Masters, this is too terrible!"
"But he committed the crime of treason. How can we save him! Not to mention us ministers who are not valued by His Majesty, even the most favored ministers such as Yuan and Xu, if he begs for mercy for Liu Ruoyu, His Majesty will not agree! This man surnamed Liu is clearly not asking us to save him, I think he wants to drag us to be buried together!"
Ji Menghuan stood up excitedly and slammed the table.
Feng Quan said nothing.
And He Wuzou said at this time: "However, there are quite a few officials recorded on it, many of them are high officials and important ministers, Hanlin Qingliu. If everyone really prays for them together, it may be possible to make His Majesty not want to ask the court to do it." He was forced to spare his life, not to mention that if we didn't save him, we would definitely die! You guys should understand what the meaning behind what he recorded is hidden!"
"But what if His Majesty Long Yan is furious? It's not like the princes are unaware of His Majesty's temper now."
Zhu Yanxi continued.
"Oh, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have..."
At this time, Ji Menghuan said helplessly, and then added: "We are now chess pieces in Liu Ruoyu's hands. We can only listen to his mercy. I can only hope that His Majesty can be lenient."
"There is no other way!"
He Wuzuo also replied.
…
"Liu Neixiang was controlled by evil people, and he was crazy about gains and losses, so he did treason. However, everyone in the world knows that Liu Neixiang is loyal to His Majesty, and he has a noble character. He is not dictatorial in government, and he is also versatile. He has excellent literary talent, integrity and self-restraint, which are rare in the inner circle. Even if he is in prison, he has no gold to bribe and only writes one book! For the sake of kindness and unyielding loyalty, your Majesty, please spare him the death penalty!"
In order to let Liu Ruoyu know that they, the civil servants with evil intentions, were trying to save him, these civil servants came to Fu Que outside Daming Garden to admonish him.
However, Liu Ruoyu really made it difficult for these civil servants.
Because it was not easy for these civil servants to clear Liu Ruoyu's name.
The main reason is that Liu Ruoyu's military admonishment is too difficult to clean up.
Therefore, these civil servants had no choice but to say that Liu Ruoyu's rebellion was because someone cast a spell on him and his mind was controlled, and then he became insane because of it. This is just like how some perverted murderers in later generations would find excuses to say that they As if he was mentally disturbed, even Liu Ruoyu wrote a book in the cell without sending gold, and he was given a reputation of being honest and self-sufficient.
Zhu Youxiao naturally didn't believe it after learning these reasons, and only asked Xu Guangqi: "Which courtiers outside are coming to intercede for Liu Ruoyu?"
