Lu Bing told Xue Yang so, but didn't mention the matter of letting Qiu Luan go out.
Qiu Luan rubbed his bloodshot and flushed wrists and smiled bitterly at Lu Bing and said, "If you have anything to do with your sir, just talk about it. The lower officials will do their best. I only ask the adults to change the lower officials to a more decent cell."
Lu Bing nodded and said, "The request made this time is more appropriate than yesterday."
Qiu Luan could only smile bitterly, and his heart was full of fear for Lu Bing.
This kind of fear is stronger than the fear caused by directly beating him half to death...
In the current Daming, Jin Yiwei has the greatest power, and this master is the person who gave Jin Yiwei such a powerful force... Qiu Luan has clearly recognized the situation.
Lu Bing and Qiu Lu whispered for a moment, and left the imprisonment.
Xue Yang came in and changed Qiu Luan to the earliest first-class prison.
Qiu Luan walked into the small courtyard, sat at the stone table under the tree, looked at the quiet and tidy small courtyard, and the neatly organized books on the table, and felt grateful to Lu Bing.
He didn't know that, above his head, he had hanged a big man with great power in the wild.
Lu Bing and Qiu Luan communicated properly. As soon as Yan Song's memorial was handed over, the Emperor Jiajing saw Zeng milling his crimes including embezzling military pay, failing to report a defeat, and taking meritorious services without fighting, and he was really furious! Zeng Xian, Zeng Chun and Su Gang were immediately arrested.
After receiving this news, Lu Bing let out a long sigh of relief. Although Zeng Xian made Lu Bing a little sorry, compared to shame, Lu Bing no longer cared about the end of a fanatical Da Ming general or a war fanatic.
At this time, Xia Yan did not know that Emperor Jiajing had sent someone to arrest Zeng Milling, which was naturally the "credit" of Jin Yiwei.
…
Xia Yan went to court as usual, and the content was the same as before, hoping to strengthen his armaments and restore the Loop.
And Jiajing, as always, was noncommittal. Instead, he said that Xia Yan recommended Zeng milling privately, regardless of national safety and the lives and deaths of the people.
Naturally, Xia Yan tried his best to refute, using all kinds of tactful words to express a direct meaning-it is said that the regaining of Hetao, the emperor's golden mouth, can't go wrong!
Emperor Jiajing was furious, and Xia Yan held his own rationale and did not give in. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Yan Song finally spoke. "The act of duplication must not be done!"
Then Yan Song gave a sharp statement of the reasons for his opposition. From armaments to logistics, every word was spoken to Jiajing's heart, and the Emperor Jiajing nodded his head again and again.
Then Yan Song blamed Xia Yan for everything.
Xia Yan next to him did not notice the reaction of Emperor Jiajing. His anger and shock had dazzled his head. Yan Song, who had always been evasive, suddenly opposed his proposal in public at this moment!
"Since you are opposed, why didn't you say it a long time ago, and now you stand up and blame me? What is the intention?" Xia Yan said loudly in anger.
Yan Song said: "The courtiers all know the fallacy of repetition, but they are just a little frightened."
Emperor Jiajing, Xia Yan, and Manchu dynasty civil and military all knew that this "awe-inspiring" refers to Xia Yan!
Emperor Jiajing's anger has also reached its peak, not to mention that he is suspecting that Xia Yan and Zeng Xian are in collusion, even the scenes in the past are enough to make him angry!
Xia Yan did not wear the crown of fragrance leaves, refused to wear the Taoist robe rewarded by Emperor Jiajing, satirizing the monasticism, and arrogant and unreasonable!
And Yan Song's admonition, the eunuch's complaints... These are enough!
"Shut up!" Emperor Jiajing drank Xia Yan, gritted his teeth and uttered four words: "A strong king threatens the crowd!"
Xia Yan shuddered and couldn't speak anymore. He knew exactly what this sentence meant...
No one can persecute or threaten a real emperor, especially an emperor who is leaning on the staff to stabilize the court!
Xia Yan seized the rank of official rank and was honored with the title of Shangshu...
In the 27th year of Jiajing, Xia Yan left the capital sadly...
After squeezing Xia Yan away, Yan Song still refused to give up. Rumors were released in the palace that Xia Yan was indignant when he left the court, and he cursed Emperor Jiajing for rebelling.
The rumors reached Emperor Jiajing's ears, and Emperor Jiajing was very angry.
By coincidence, in September 27th of Jiajing, I Da Khan led an army to invade Xuanfu and approached Beijing. Emperor Jiajing suspected that this must be the revenge for Xia Yan and Zeng Xian’s proposal to regain the loop, so he ordered Zeng Xian to lay an order. prison. Officials who once supported Xia Yan and Zeng Milling were demoted or deprived of salaries or court staff.
When Zeng milling arrived, Jiajing pro-made the decree, and Zeng milled to be close to Shi Lv Zhan, and his wife and son were exiled for two thousand li and executed on the same day.
Zeng milled into the imprisonment, Lu Bing was ashamed of Zeng milling in his heart and avoided seeing him.
Zeng milled, cut according to the law, and his wife was exiled for two thousand miles.
Zeng Xianlin wrote a poem: "Yuan Gong was originally a century-old plan, and Chao Cuo turned out to suffer from the Seven Kingdoms".
Before his death, he left only his last words: "Serve the country with one heart."
Zeng milled to death, Qiu Luan was released from prison.
When Lu Bing heard this poem, he was in a daze. He didn't know whether his revenge was right or wrong.
"I too... become a traitor..." Lu Bing, lying on Miss Meng's lap, murmured.
Miss Meng stroked Lu Bing's eye sockets with her fingertips, touched a drop of crystal, and sighed.
This world... good people... difficult...
Lu Bing can push everything to Yan Song's head, but from the bottom of his heart, he can't do it.
He asked Sun Quan to find out where Zeng Xian's wife and children were. Sun Quan reported that before Zeng Xian went to prison, he had entrusted his wife and children to a soldier under his command. The soldier was named Wang Huan.
Lu Bing asked Sun Quan to secretly arrange an escort, and ordered Sun Quan to personally protect him, assisting Wang Huan to send Zeng Milling's wife and children to Chenggu, Hanzhong, Shaanxi, to settle down properly, and to keep him safe.
Sun Quan knew that Lu Bing was asking him to forgive his sins. After all, this matter was due to him, and he could hardly escape his guilt, so he did his best to follow Wang Huan secretly.
Wang Huan is a Hui nationality from Cangzhou. He has a beard and iron face and is good at riding and shooting. He has heard about his bravery and recruited him to teach his soldiers to shoot arrows. After Zeng Xian was arrested and imprisoned, Wang Huan asked Wang Huan to take care of his wife and children: "The emperor is very angry. It is my duty to die as a courtier. However, my wife lives on the sidelines and is barren in the ditch."
Wang Huan replied with tears: "The father is not worried, a certain force can make it home."
After Zeng Xian died, his wife and children were exiled to Chenggu in Hanzhong, Shaanxi. Wang Huan escorted his wife and his two sons from the small road to the land in a small car. During the day, he prepared soup and porridge for his wife and son, and stayed outside the hotel at night for thousands of miles.
Sun Quan secretly followed, stood before him, provided convenience, and drove away the thief and strongman along the road. When he arrived in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, he asked the local Jin Yiwei to secretly protect and take care of him.
Twenty years later, Zeng milled the wronged Zhaoxue and returned to Jiangdu to be buried. Wang Huan escorted Zeng Xian's wife and son back to Yangzhou. Zeng Xian's family members paid the money, but Wang Huan didn't accept it and left without looking back. Zeng milling can be described as a wise man, entrusted to win people. I won't mention it later.
…
Not long after Xia Yan left Beijing, Emperor Jiajing saw Yan Shifan’s forged version of Qiu Luan’s Shangshu Yuan, and saw a key phrase about Xia Yan—make close servants.
