The study fell into a panicking silence. The light emitted by the whale oil lamp was white and blazing - completely different from the warm and dim light of the kerosene lamp. Shen always felt it was dazzling. fat
He swallowed his saliva and said, "It seems that what the government and the public have said about Your Majesty's ability to work hard at an early age is true."
Shen Shixing looked at him as if he were a fool, and coldly uttered one word: "Yes."
Shen Yiguan swallowed again: "Then...does the Prime Minister have any clues about the unveiling case?"
Shen Shixing said with a cold face: "I thought it was 'you' before, but now it seems that it is just some people fishing in troubled waters. But when you make such a fuss, Jin Yiwei can be said to be related. If you can't explain why you are doing this, Why did you come into my house late and stay until midnight? It is not impossible to say that we colluded."
Shen Guanyi stood up, then knelt down in front of Shen Shixing with a plop: "Please help me, Prime Minister."
Shen Shixing sneered: "You and Zou Yuanbiao and others are plotting against me, why should I save you?"
Shen always looked pale and knocked his head on the ground with a thud. He whispered: "Because the prime minister, like us, wants to bring order to chaos."
Shen Shixing's mouth twitched and he snorted coldly. Shen Yiguan continued in a deep voice: "In today's world, starting from the second year of Wanli, we started killing nobles, eunuchs, and officials; during the reform period, we killed the gentry; when we measured the land, we killed civil servants and landowners; during the external conquests, we killed Burmese and Jurchen people. , Xiqiang heads are rolling. This is not a "benevolent" Lord. Since the ancestors of the dragon, has the Prime Minister seen any Taiping emperor kill so many people?!"
After a pause, he said: "Master Xiang, would you rather not be afraid?"
Shen Shixing snorted again. As if to argue, he said: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." Then he added another sentence: "Any king who wants to do something will kill many people. As you said, a dignified political minister and a deputy prime minister have their own dignity. What should I fear?" "
The study fell into silence again. Shen Shixing didn't look at Shen Yiguan who was kneeling on the ground. He used a thermos bottle to refill his teacup with some hot water, picked it up and took a sip.
As if he suddenly remembered something, he sighed and said: "Back then, um... Zhang Wenming, the father of the county prince, was assassinated, and countless people in Jiangnan lost their families because of this. After the prince returned to Beijing, I asked him once His take on the matter. You know what he said?"
Shen Yiyi knelt down and asked dumbly: "What did he say?"
"Zhilan is in power, but has to hoe."
After Shen Shixing said these eight words, he stood up and walked to the study window, looking at the ink-like night in the courtyard, and whispered: "Now it seems that the emperor is very satisfied with Liang Menglong. Therefore, there are some who are blocking the way, Whether it’s Ganoderma lucidum or rotten rocks, we have to sweep them up for him and settle the old accounts.”
Then he turned around and sneered: "Do you really think your cunning intentions and selfish actions can be hidden from the Jin Yiwei?"
After hearing this, Shen Guanyi seemed to have recovered from his almost completely decadent spirit. He stood up and said with a wry smile: "This is not a benevolent person. We have to go back and wait for the house to be ransacked and beheaded."
Shen Shixing's face was still cold: "If you want to exterminate the clan, don't say unkind words again after you leave the house. This time, I can pretend that I didn't hear you."
Seeing that Shen Shixing had no intention of helping him, Shen Yiguan gritted his teeth and bowed and said: "I take this seriously, I'm resigning." He turned around and walked out.
Shen Shixing glanced at the chiming clock again, nodded and said, "It's almost three o'clock now. If you are caught by the night watchman when you go out, it will be inconvenient. Please stay one night."
Tears welled up in Shen Yiguan's eyes: "Thank you so much, Mr. Xiang!"
...
After the imperial clan reform, in order to reflect the "kinship" between the royal family and clan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs allocated an open space to the west of the Sheji Altar in the capital and built a square and square town - this was modeled after the "Fengyang High Wall" clan prison.
The original intention of building a "clan prison" in Beijing was not to scare the clan, but to truly reflect the emperor's "kinship" with the clan. This is not irony.
The Ancestor Instructions of the Ming Dynasty left by Taizu of the Ming Dynasty stipulates: "Even if the successors of future generations commit serious crimes against the princes and clan members of the feudal lords and clans, they will not be punished. , or send officials to bring good fortune and misfortune, so that they can rehabilitate themselves.'"
Because the grandsons and grandsons were of high status and could not be locked up with ordinary prisoners, the "high walls" and "idle houses" built in various provinces really reflected the concern of successive emperors for the clan - before the clan reform, there were very few clans in the imperial city. , after the reform, there were very many, so it was necessary to build a special prison to house the clan.
But judging from the practical results, all members of the clan were distraught and frightened when they heard about this "high wall". Because since the beginning of the People's Republic of China, all those who have been imprisoned have been sentenced to life imprisonment, that is, they have been imprisoned until death. The only exception is the obvious injustice case of Prince Zheng in the Jiajing Dynasty - even so, Zhu Zaiyu, now the dean of Gewu, stayed outside the high wall for nineteen years before his father was rehabilitated.
Because of the obvious intimidation effect, after the high wall of the capital was built, no clan members moved in for a period of time. In line with the principle of not wasting, this place became a place where illegal high-ranking officials and nobles were imprisoned, and the arrested Marquis of Xining Song Shien was imprisoned there. fat
Song Shien's ancestor was Song Sheng, a famous general in the Red Scarf Army. He was eleven generations old when the title was passed on to him. The Xining Marquis Mansion was considered one of the top wealthy families in the capital. Song Shi'en ascended the throne in the third year of Longqing's reign. When he came of age, he acted as an agent for military affairs in the former military governor's office in Nanjing. He was later impeached and returned to Beijing for occupying land and keeping slaves. After the reform, countless nobles were impeached for this crime.
Although he had served as a high-ranking military official, Song Shien had no heroic spirit and could only be regarded as a playboy. It is said that when you are addicted to the beauty of silk tubes, your muscles will become slow and your intelligence will be slow. This is what you are talking about.
After the wolf-like and tiger-like Guoan Jinyi guards broke into the door and arrested him for questioning. Song Shien's soul has been separated from his body and has been floating in the air, watching his family fall into destruction.
His soul saw his mother put on a first-class crown and wanted to enter the harem to plead for mercy, but was blocked outside the palace wall. He saw his wife crying in prison all day long and being humiliated by the "partner-in-law" in prison; he saw his body being tortured inside the high wall - the body rolled and begged for mercy, and everything that violated human ethics between his and his wife was revealed. All said.
However, Jin Yiwei doesn't want this. They tortured her repeatedly, asking who else had eaten at Taste House that day—and who had leaked the treacherous words on the wall.
"I'm just a loser, really." Facing the cold eyes of Xun Yue, a security officer, Song Shien burst into tears, "Really, Mr. Xun! I really drank too much that day, for that unlucky guy Song Jiu'er, my family is ruined - if you know anything about it, can I not tell you?" After saying that, he burst into tears again in grievance.
The coldness on Xun Quer's face did not diminish by half. He looked at the Marquis of Xining who was kneeling at his feet, and suddenly kicked him in the stomach, making him curl up and scream. fat
"Master Marquis, our commander will bring your two boys to see you soon. He is not as easy to talk to as I am."
Song Shien opened his mouth wide and looked desperately at the demon-like Xun Yue. His head, which had been rusted by the sensuality of dogs and horses, finally started to move, and the bloodline inherited from Song Sheng also awakened a little bit.
"Master Xun! Who do you want me to bite?"
"Master Marquis, what are you talking about? However, the Xun family who retired from the country has now fallen into this situation. Xiao Xi, I feel very sad - can I help you think about it together?"
