When the group of servants and maids in Cui Ju's yard chased out, Cui Xie had already grabbed a servant and asked him to take him to the yard where the horses were raised in Cui's house.
His eldest young master is now different from what he used to be. He is a prodigy that the emperor wants to receive in the palace, and the servants are naturally trying to curry favor. When he said "I want a horse", the coachmen didn't need to ask the master if he would agree or not, and if he would use a car, he immediately saddled his head and hurried him out of the house. At the back of the courtyard, there was a servant sent by Cui Langzhong shouting to let someone stop him from going out.
He had already inquired before he entered the capital. The Beizhen Fusi was on the west side of the Qianbu Corridor outside the imperial city, and it was right next to it. From the street at the right gate of Chang'an, both families could find it. This time, I have to go to Beizhen Fusi to visit the prison first, and then go to the Tongzheng Secretary to write a petition, which makes it seem more real.
Although Beizhen Fusi's reputation is not good, but he can be counted as someone behind him, and it should be no problem to brush up on the deep love between mother and son at the door.
On the way, he also went to the restaurant to order a few meals. Holding the food box in one hand and the reins in the other, he slowed down and walked towards Beizhen Fusi.
Several yamen on the west side of Qianbu Corridor are next to each other. Jinyiwei is the closest to the right gate of Chang'an. Entering from the long street, you can see the high-spirited yamen of Beizhen Fusi. Adjacent to the back are the Five Army Governor's Mansion, the General Administration Department and the Three Judicial Yamen, all of which are places of torture and military use, and the building shows a chilling meaning. Tall, strong, and imposing.
Just as he was about to turn into Zhenfusiqian Street, several servants of the Cui family came running from the opposite side, panting and shouting, "Young Master, you can't go!" They rushed forward, closing their eyes and trying to stop his horse.
Cui Xie held the reins with his left hand, and his heels were clamped on the horse's belly. The horse obediently turned towards his right hand, spread its hooves, let it go, and leaped from their half-downed bodies. past. When the knight guarding outside the Jinyiweiyamen saw it, he could not help but let out a "Huh" and cheered, "Good equestrianism!"
It is rare for a scholar who looks weak and weak to have such dexterous riding skills.
Several warriors who were patrolling with him heard the sound and looked over, just in time to see Cui Xie holding the reins with one hand to avoid pedestrians, and still holding the food box with his left hand, the food box looked half crooked. A few warriors saw him riding towards the yamen gate, so they approached him and asked, "This is the Fusi yamen in Beizhen. People from the military and civilians are not allowed to enter for no reason. Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
Cui Xie took off the pedals with his feet, pressed his left hand on the back of the horse, and jumped down with the help of his strength, which attracted a few scattered applause in the distance: "The horsemanship is good, this scholar, you are carrying the food box, but Who do you want to bring food to?"
His voice was not loud or distinctive, but it could be pierced like a wedge into one's ear, so that one had to listen to him.
Cui Xie couldn't help looking over with the patrolling soldiers, and saw that the man was about forty years old, wearing a crimson straight official robe, with a tiger and leopard patch on his chest, he was riding a horse and looking down at him, revealing Blackish skin and a stubby beard on the chin. Behind him were guarding a few officials in green and green robes, all of them tall and straight, with strong and tall horses, which were particularly eye-catching.
He rode this horse from Cui's house, and he was embarrassed to look up in front of the other's horse.
One of them was very familiar, looking halfway at the food box in his hand, as if he was a little surprised why he appeared here.
The wrestlers immediately bowed and saluted, calling the leader "Master Zhu", and Cui Xie followed suit and introduced himself: "The student is Cui Xie, a scholar from Qian'an County, and Cui Ju, the family's father, who is the minister of Yunnan, has a stepmother. Xu was taken to prison for the crime, and the student heard about it and brought some food to visit his stepmother."
Qian'an Choi Sub!
It's the one who wrote "Four Books and Sentences" and hooked up so that Xie Ying had nothing to do and stayed in the house to study, but refused to go out for fun!
Jin Yiwei's perception of him is very complicated: on the one hand, he is a righteous person who Jin Yiwei has asked for his honor, and he is born to be their own; The sour scholar. These two images have always been difficult to combine in their minds, and seeing a real person today makes it even more awkward.
Such a handsome young man who can ride a horse should be a little general like Zhao Yun, why did he act like a sour scholar
Zhu Ji shook his head and asked him, "You came to see your stepmother? Do you know what she did?"
Cui Xie tried to squeeze out a little tear, but he couldn't squeeze it out, so he lowered his head deeply: "How can the students know that my mother violated the laws of the country? The students also know that if Jinyiwei did not enforce the law impartially and find out the truth, he would have to make Qian'an County Qi Daling this man. The innocent officials are full of grievances and injustices. Today's students come here not only to visit their mothers, but also to thank the adults for finding out about this matter, and they also moved to the splendid blue sky in An County."
He moved towards Zhu Ji and others, and Zhu Ji waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank me for this, Xie Ying is in charge of this matter, and I can't be impatient to take care of a small county magistrate's business."
The corners of Cui Xie's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly tensed, revealing the reddish eye sockets he blinked desperately when he was bowing, and choked out, "Thank you, sir."
The visit to his mother was fake, but his gratitude was real, so his expression was natural at this moment. Xie Ying bowed her hands behind Zhu Ji and returned a half-salutation, then smiled: "It's good that you have this intention. We Jinyiwei are doing errands for the emperor, and we should find out the truth, so that the emperor is not deceived by rape."
Zhu Ji stroked his beard and nodded.
Xie Ying had shown her loyalty, but the smile on her face suddenly faded, and she said coldly: "But the prisoners are all prisoners of the imperial court. I think of your filial piety and don't want to punish you, this official has watched you grow up, but today I want to teach you a few words..."
Lu Xi persuaded: "That's it, what do you care about with him as a scholar. Don't those scholars think that Lu Yishun's mother and Wobing Qiu Li are stupid? You persuade him that he will not change, and ask him to go back. Well, my lord is still waiting for the guards to go out."
Zhu Ji glanced at them with a smile, and said, "What do you care about with a child, just tell him to go away. Those who stopped him were also from the Cui family? They were all tied up and sent back to their parents to discipline them. ."
A few wrestlers went to pick up the Cui family in the morning. Cui Xie held the food box and bowed, "Thank you for your tolerance, Cui Xie has two more unkind requests..."
Zhu Ji raised his eyebrows: "You also know it's an unkind request?"
Cui Xie lowered his head and replied, "Although my mother was guilty of a crime in the country, after all, I have brought up the kindness of me for more than ten years, so how can students forget it. Students can't go in to visit the prison, and they always have to worship their mother across the yard to show their hearts. Also, this food box was just brought by the students from the restaurant, and they are all freshly cooked meals. I would like to invite the prison guards who are guarding my mother in Sizhong to taste it, and thank them for their care for my mother.”
Tsk tsk, this son's bones are much harder than his father's, and he couldn't wait to get rid of it without hearing the stepmother's crime. It's just that I've been reading books, and I'm a little stupid and filial. Such an unworthy and evil woman will also come to visit.
Zhu Jichao pursed his lips, and the strong man took the food box and told Cui Xie, "We've already agreed to the matter, so let's go as soon as possible."
Master Zhu left with the team first, Xie Ying turned his head and glanced at him, as if he was nodding slightly, and as if it was just a slight tremor caused by the bumping on the horse. Cui Xie watched them leave, and then had to do a full set of dramas. He called "Mother" a few times across the courtyard wall, and loudly said that he wanted to make atonement for her, and then bowed deeply to the ground, three times in a row, got up and wiped his eyes. Focusing on leading the horse away, he went straight to the Minister of Communications.
The Minister of General Affairs is not only a place for courtiers to submit documents, but also a place for military and civilians to file forms to express their grievances. Cui Xie bears the identity of the son of Tobu's husband, and he does not want to leapfrog the accusation. It is just the last statement, which is not a violation.
On the way, he reflected on the problem that he should not cry, pulled out a hair and swiped in his eyes, tears pouring out "swish", and he looked more sincere.
With red eyes, he entered the department handbook, and the Governor of the Secretary of Communications had heard of his family's case. Seeing that he was going to file a petition, he kindly persuaded him: "This is a case that has been ordered by the emperor, the facts are there, and it is absolutely impossible to turn it over. Your father is going to have a righteous relationship with the criminal woman, so what do you still think about her? When you buy a good coffin for her to be buried, and find a place to bury her bones, it is considered filial piety."
A tear rolled down from the corner of Cui Xie's eyes, and he closed his eyes and replied, "Students also know the laws of the imperial court, but as a son of man, how can he sit and watch his mother suffer? My mother is the mother of the student for a day, and the student must do his best to be a son of man. Run for her. Besides, the students have grandparents and underage brothers and sisters in their families. If their mother is tortured, who will take care of the young and old..."
The governor was born in Guan Yinsheng. Although he did not pass the scientific examination, he also grew up reading the scriptures. He could only boast of filial piety and could not persuade Cui Xie not to be filial to those who should not be filial. He saw Cui Xie's eyes were slightly swollen from crying, and the tip of his nose was red, and he couldn't help sighing that God's justice was unfair, such a wicked woman could have a good son. He shook his head and persuaded: "Go back and wait for the news, it's useless even if our yamen is blocked, I will definitely send your book up."
He persuaded Cui Xie to leave, and when he went back, he put the book in the form of people's petitions and grievances and handed them in.
The documents of the Secretary of General Affairs and Communications were all demolished in front of the imperial court the next morning. When several internal ministers of the Slijian were demolished and inspected, they saw this Qian'an scholar Cui Xie made a petition for his stepmother Xu, and there was something strange in their hearts. Feel.
Isn't this Xu just a few days ago because of jealousy and hatred of his stepson, he found a post to frame a court official, why did he write a petition to her when he was a son
We have Min Ziqian in Ming Dynasty
Eunuch Gao once said good things to the emperor of Chenghua, he immediately took the stamp, congratulated the emperor, and set his tone: "People say that loyal ministers must come from the family of filial sons, I think this is the right thing to say. On the other hand, a filial son must come from a loyal and righteous person. This is not because the emperor first commended his loyalty and righteousness, and he became more and more loyal, benevolent and filial. How can he have such great filial piety today?"
Another eunuch Xiao Jing glanced at the letter, and said in a slow voice, "Even though Eunuch Gao said so, but Xu's case was ordered by the emperor, if Cui Xie exonerated Xu, it would be a liability. The emperor's favor."
Eunuch Gao said indifferently: "Mother and son are a natural relationship, wouldn't it be a matter of heaven for a son of a man to absolve his mother? Besides, this little righteous man also knows the truth of being loyal to the monarch. Eunuch Xiao has not read the letter, how did he know that he must give it to his stepmother? Exonerated?"
The big eunuch Qin Chang flicked his whisk and rounded up the field for the two of them: "Is that a watch or not, it's up to the emperor to decide, Eunuch Gao, please read it."
Emperor Chenghua squinted and leaned on the throne, wondering what Cui Xie's watch meant.
Is there really a perfect person in the world who doesn't hate her stepmother for being framed and wants to exonerate her? If there is such a person who is loyal and filial, he can call the prince Xue Xue such a mind. Concubine Wan is so old, and it is because of him that she has lost her body. She has no children and is not very enthusiastic about power. Why are those courtiers and princes unwilling to tolerate her
The emperor sighed and listened to Eunuch Gao read the letter.
Surprisingly, Cui Xie did not exonerate Madam Xu, nor did she even write much about how Madam Xu took care of him. He only writes that he was born without his mother and grew up under the care of his grandmother. The stepmother, Mrs. Xu, wanted to be filial to her aunt and aunt, to serve her husband, and to take care of her own son, so she couldn't take care of him all the time. But Mrs. Xu presided over the central feeder and raised her children. All the hard work fell into his eyes. How could he not be grateful and filial to the mistress of the Cui family who worked so hard
However, Mrs. Xu actually posted a false accusation against officials, which almost harmed Qi Sheng, the magistrate of Qian'an, who was upright and honest and loved the people like a son. As a local shepherd, the magistrate of Qi County, like the parents of the people under his rule, loved the people and taught him to read and improve. Without the care and supervision of the county magistrate Qi, he would not have achieved the achievements of this little three-year-old case chief.
Now that his first-in-law mother wants to kill the old man in his hometown, he is in a dilemma, not daring to intercede for his mother, and he cannot help but intercede for his mother. Although Mrs. Xu's crime cannot be forgiven, how could he, as a son of man, see his mother guilty? He has suffered from loss since he was a child, how could he have the heart to let several underage younger siblings also experience the pain of losing his mother
He really had no choice but to ask the Son of Heaven for mercy, to allow him to take the blame on his stepmother's behalf, and to let her mother, a woman, go home and be educated by her parents.
Eunuch Gao couldn't help but glance at the emperor, for fear that the emperor would really allow his request and make him bear Xu's guilt. Fortunately, Emperor Chenghua's measure was very large, and he was not buoyed by the letter, but instead sighed with half-closed eyes, "This Cui and Cui Xie have done a good job. The eldest son should have a good manner, and family harmony is the most important thing..."
Qin Chang asked him cautiously: "What does the emperor mean by granting his request to forgive that Xu's crime of committing a woman?"
Forgiveness... It can't just be forgiven like that.
Xu's asking people to post a false accusation against the court officials is a crooked trend of posting posts across the door. If it is not severely punished, what is the court's law? But Cui Xie's love letter was really in his heart, and he thought about asking the prince to see this dutiful son in the future. If he did not allow his request, he would be strictly rectified, and he would be a filial mother in the future. It is not good to enter the palace.
The emperor of Chenghua pursed his lips, took the paper and wrote: "Anonymous posting is guilty of the Xu Cui family's redemption with copper, and false accusations are not allowed. She has a biological son, so she does not need to be punished by her stepchildren. Send your mother to the side and return immediately."
