Because of Guo Siji's stupidity, half of the court was working overtime. Zhang Siwei waited in the attendant's room for the edict to come out before returning to the political hall. It was already dark. As soon as he entered and turned around the screen wall, Wang Qinian, the secretary on duty, informed him that Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, and Geng Dingxiang were waiting outside the door of his living room—it was said that they were asking the court to hold Guo Siji accountable and vindicate He Xinyin.
Zhang Siwei was not happy at all, so he took a few steps quickly after hearing this. After entering the door, he looked at Shen Shixing with a gloomy face and said, "What are you doing here?"
Zhang Siwei called Shen Shi "Ru Mo" instead of his nickname "Yao Quan", which was the first time since they were both cabinet ministers. Shen Shixing had a wry smile on his face, but Wang Xijue kept smiling, as if he didn't hear the Prime Minister's dissatisfaction.
Among the three, Geng Dingxiang was the oldest, sixty-three years old at the time, eleven years older than Shen Shixing, and ten years older than Wang Xijue—but he was the most restless one. Before Shen Shixing could answer Zhang Siwei's question, he took a step forward, bowed to the tunnel and said, "Master Yuanfu, I don't know what the emperor said about He Xinyin?"
Zhang Siwei snorted coldly in his heart when he heard him call him "Yuan Fu". But Geng Dingxiang was older than him and was not rude. He smiled and said in return: "Mr. Tiantai, He Xinyin didn't smear you once or twice in the newspaper. You don't care about the past."
Geng Dingxiang raised his head with red eyes and said: "Emperor Taizu Gao said in the "Teacher's List": "From now on, any instructors in the world who do not follow the sages' mottos, raise unreasonable objections, confuse future generations, and obey their consciences will be punished -" —'If you are willing to hide this sin and die, then you will die well!"
"But why Xinyin did not commit this crime, but killed him unjustly! Guo Siji's unforgivable crime was, firstly, to create a deviant 'false saint' and spread his heresy; secondly, he put the court in an unjust place , even though ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for his sins!”
After listening to Geng Dingxiang's words, Zhang Siwei's heart moved, and then he suddenly realized the emperor's choice in the Yangxin Palace. He was worried in his heart but didn't show it on his face. He stretched out his hand and said, "Go in and talk." After saying that, he nodded and entered the living room first.
Shen Shixing took the lead and filed in with Wang Xijue and Geng Dingxiang. After a few people sat down, Zhongshu served tea and snacks. Geng Dingxiang was about to say more, but Shen Shixing interrupted: "Mr. Tiantai, don't be anxious. The Prime Minister has just returned from the meeting. The Emperor must have made a decision."
Zhang Siwei picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and looked at Shen Shixing's face. Then he put down the teacup and whispered:
"Originally, regarding He Xinyin's remarks, the emperor's original intention was to 'don't be surprised if you find it strange'. Guo Siji's behavior, as Mr. Tiantai said, made the court very uncomfortable. At the same time, some people with ulterior motives made noise, Nowadays, the public opinion is agitated, and the emperor dares to embarrass the matter. The truth is even more difficult, and he also suggested that the emperor listen to Mr. Shui Lian's opinion."
"The emperor has not summoned Mr. Shui Lian. After discussing with the truth, he has issued an order to interrogate Guo Siji and intends to vindicate He Xinyin. Now that the edict has been issued, the report will be sent out tonight."
After Zhang Siwei said this, as long as he was not in the Yangxin Palace this afternoon, most of them would think of the scene "After Zhang Siwei's urging, the emperor agreed to rehabilitate He Xinyin." At the same time, what came to mind was that the emperor trusted Zhang Siwei more than Pan Sheng, because despite Zhang Siwei's suggestion, "the emperor did not summon Mr. Shui Lian."
But the exact opposite is true - this is the art of language. More importantly, Zhang Siwei did not pretend or lie. He just omitted the details of his communication with the emperor. The message revealed in a few words is - I am still the holy family, Shen, you don't have to invite people to buy people's hearts and come to find out the bottom.
Shen Shixing's face changed slightly, Wang Xijue was still smiling, and Geng Dingxiang was overjoyed. He cupped his hands to the north and chanted: "Your Majesty, Holy Ming!" Then he cupped his hands to Zhang Siwei: "Master Yuanfu, thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Siwei smiled slightly.
Wang Xijue took the topic casually and said: "The Prime Minister is really working hard. Just now I felt that you don't look good - you must take good care of your body. Now that the state affairs are so complicated, the political affairs hall cannot be without you at the helm." of."
This time it was Zhang Siwei's turn to change his face slightly, Shen Shixing's eyes flickered, and Wang Xijue was still smiling after speaking. Only Geng Dingxiang scratched his head and didn't understand why Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing's expressions changed.
Grain pounding
...
I won’t mention the tricks played by the masters of Zhengshitang. In the Yangxin Hall, Wang Tong in front of Zhu Yijun was sweating on his forehead, because the anger in Zhu Yijun's eyes was unconcealed: "What explanation do you have for He Xinyin's matter?"
Wang Tong's face was red, he gritted his teeth and knelt down and kowtowed: "I have failed to observe and supervise you. He Xin is invisible and has martial arts skills. In the past few years, the Intelligence Department has been monitoring him, and he has often used this technique to escape from surveillance. This time is The local government saw that his itinerary in Xiuning was public and he was not a taboo figure, so they neglected to take precautions. The news was reported to the branch two days after Guo Siji arrested him. When the protection order was issued, he had already been tortured and died."
Zhu Yijun was speechless after hearing this. It's not surprising that insider spies often fail to spot He Xinyin. When Jin Yiwei was "looking for Li Shizhen", the spies often missed him. What's more, He Xinyin has been wandering around the world for decades, and his fame is not due to luck.
Because Zhu Yijun strictly ordered the spy to reveal his identity at will and interfere in local official affairs, after He Xinyin was arrested, the spy did not dare to go directly to protect him, otherwise He Xinyin would not have died. This is the shortcoming of a strict system. The so-called creative work must of course be of a high level - not everyone can work within the system without exceeding the standard.
Although Wang Tong admitted his guilt, Zhu Yijun was helpless when he explained what had happened. He didn't know who to target if he wanted to get angry. Wang Tong had cooperated with Zhu Yijun for so many years. Seeing the emperor's silence, he knew that he understood his explanation. After thinking for a while, Fang gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, these so-called 'Wangs of Scholars' that you asked the Internal Affairs Department to monitor, still have to Give me a rule, and there must be a way to deal with it next time you encounter this kind of situation."
Zhu Yijun heard this and didn't know how to answer Wang Tong's question. After getting off the throne and pacing back and forth, he said for a long time: "Let's keep it as usual. I don't want to do anything to them, but I always have to know what these people are thinking before I can rest assured. Otherwise -" Otherwise, Zhu Yijun didn't say it out loud, but in his heart He added: “Otherwise, I don’t know how the ideology will develop.”
The so-called business as usual means to keep an eye on these people as before, and try to understand and report what they write, publish, and communicate with others - as for other things, there is nothing the Insider Department has to do. Wang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and planned to resign.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yijun remembered something again and said: "Previously, I asked you to investigate the person behind the 'Robbery Case'. How did your investigation go? It has been almost two years since Qiu Xizi was called to the execution ground."
When Wang Tong heard this, he raised his head and glanced at the emperor's left and right. Zhu Yijun just asked casually. Unexpectedly, there was an answer, so he looked at Wei Chao.
Wei Chao bowed and signaled the chamberlains and female officials serving in Yangxin Palace to go out. He stood there motionless. When the palace door closed, he just put the fly whisk in his hand on his arm and still stood there with his bow.
Wang Tong swallowed and whispered: "I have found the son of Ma Bin years later. He lives in the family of Zhou Dequan, a wealthy businessman in Taicang, and his pseudonym is Zhou Tiedun." Before Zhu Yijun could ask, he continued: "This week, Zhou Dequan and Zhou Dequan Shenge's hometown is very rich, and the Kunqu team 'Shenban' in Shenge's hometown is based on 'Zhoujiaban', and 'Zhoujiaban' was dedicated by Zhou Dequan in the 11th year of Wanli."
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he nodded slightly, but he didn't know what he felt in his heart. Shen Shixing was related to the excavation case, which he never expected.
Although the excavation case caused a fourth-grade senior official to commit suicide, it is not surprising that there must be a big fish behind it. However, the profit from this 'case' was too small, and Zhu Yijun could never think of anything big fishy behind this profit. To frame Zhang Siwei and use small cases to instigate major political disputes is a bit of a joke - the main insider "Ma Bin" didn't even dare to show his face, so what's the use of writing a few reporting letters?
He sat behind the imperial case and thought, and Wang Tong could only continue: "Because the emperor has been paying attention to Han Bixian's case, I did not dare to neglect, and arranged for a detective to enter the Zhou family and make friends with that 'Zhou Tiedun'. Last time Yue heard from Na Zhou that his father went to Luzon for business—this clue had not yet been forwarded to the Military Intelligence Bureau."
Zhu Yijun felt agitated. He suppressed his emotions and asked, "What else was found in the capital?"
