Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 123: Meeting a beautiful woman in prison and throwing herself into her arms! Crying students!

In just two days, under the deliberate instigation of "certain people", the title of "mastermind" of the "three kings conferring" incident was actually pinned on Wang Xijue, the newly appointed chief minister of the cabinet.

Before Wang Xijue had time to give any explanation, he was already sieved by the overwhelming impeachment memorials from his colleagues.

It is worth mentioning that Emperor Wanli, who knew the 'truth', did not come out to give any explanation for the fact that Wang Xijue was 'misunderstood' by officials as the Three Kings and named the 'chief conspirator', as if he was completely unaware of the matter.

Emperor Wanli's "guilty" move directly made the officials more certain that Wang Xijue, the first assistant, was the real "proposer" of the "three kings' union"!

Wang Xijue is innocent, but he is not alone, because there is another person who was impeached just like him, even worse than him.

The reason why it is said that 'this person' is worse than Wang Xijue is because 'this person' has been dead for almost ten years, and yet he is still being dug out and scolded.

That's right, this 'unlucky guy' is Zhang Juzheng, whose grave is covered with grass several feet high!

Zhang Juzheng's impeachment can be said to be inexplicable for dragging down his son and grandson's fortune. What's more, he even directly wrote in the memorial that Zhang Jianxiu frequently harassed Beijing officials, which was actually an act of revenge.

At first, many ministers thought that His Majesty the Emperor would have some reaction to this impeachment. After all, everyone knew how much the Emperor hated Zhang Juzheng.

Wang Xijue sometimes even wanted to rush to Shen Shixing's house and ask him angrily - "You f*cking specifically found these two people to cause trouble for me, right?"

Two cabinet ministers with such different personalities became Wang Xijue's "right-hand man". As you can imagine, this was not a good thing.

If the emperor cannot be seen, who else can the ministers turn to? Naturally, the only choice was Wang Xijue, the chief minister of the cabinet, who was the head of the hundred officials.

Wang Xijue dragged his tired body back home like a donkey that had been working all day.

"Master Wang." Wang Juxue did not ask what the content of the secret letter was. He only advised: "The world is unpredictable. Have you ever thought about one thing? What if the third son of the emperor ascends the throne in the future? manage?"

These officials, whose "combat power" was no less than that of the imperial censor, went to court one after another to ask the emperor to let the emperor's eldest son go out to study!
It is said that the emperor's eldest son should leave the cabinet to study, but the implication is obvious. Leaving the cabinet means that the crown prince must be established first. In other words, after going around and around, the ministers are still forcing the emperor to appoint the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince.

Wang Xijue didn't hide anything and directly revealed the 'backup' he had left behind, saying:
"I have written a 'secret letter' and sent it to the palace a long time ago. I can guarantee that even if the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will not have any intention of blaming me.

Even if Wang Xijue understood everything, if nothing else happened, his good student should be so angry that he started to fight with others just to speak for him.

However, this 'guest' was his most promising student 'Wang Juxue', so he had no choice but to accept him.

However, Wang Xijue did not go because he was too busy and had no time to go to Shen Shixing's house.

The ministers in the DPRK all understood that His Majesty the Emperor just wanted to use this incident to wash away the reputation of being "ungrateful" from the outside world.

Now, so many things have piled up together. This is the first time that Wang Xijue has felt such great pressure.

Wangfu.

Not only did His Majesty the Emperor not make any response, but His Majesty the Emperor also showed mercy to Zhang Chonghui, who was sentenced to death in prison, and allowed him to resist and disrespect the decree. He even 'ignored' him, and even allowed anyone to visit him in prison. .

These two things, which are strange to say, caused a stir in the city, and everyone knew about it. The 'farts' people on the streets of the capital are even talking about this after dinner.

This time, Emperor Wanli pretended to be dead very thoroughly. Even if the ministers resorted to the old trick of "taking off their hats and kneeling outside the Huangji Gate", they could not get His Majesty the Emperor to show up.

Before Shen Shixing left, he recommended two people to the cabinet. One of them was an honest man, Zhao Zhigao, and the other was a radical Zhang Wei.

Because, there is a 'more important' thing in the court today!
This time, the members of the six departments who were not able to participate in the trial of the demon book case finally couldn't hold it in any longer!

Nowadays, we are faced with so many things. Zhao Zhigao, who has a weak personality, cannot bear the trouble, and Zhang Wei, who has a radical personality, loves to make trouble too much.
As a result, these two 'helpers' not only failed to help Wang Xijue in the slightest, they could even be said to have added chaos to him.

As for those rumors, don't worry about them. Wang Yangming once said that a gentleman should be cautious in his independence and not deceive the dark room. There is nothing outside the heart, this heart is bright. What should I say, what should I be afraid of? "

Not long after arriving home, someone came to visit me.

Wang Xijue did not tell the contents of the 'secret letter'. Wang Zuoxue also knew that the teacher was not only guarding against outsiders, but also guarding against him as a student.

Wang Juxue cried loudly, felt very uncomfortable, and looked very imageless. Looking at his somewhat torn official uniform and his crooked bun, it was obvious that he had been in a fight before.

For a time, Wang Xijue not only had to endure the abuse and impeachment of the "three kings conferring titles", but also had to accept the "pressure" from officials who asked him to persuade the emperor to let the emperor's eldest son leave the cabinet to study as soon as possible.

They scolded you for going to the wrong country! Misleading the people! Welcome flattery! They call you a traitor and a traitor! And if the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne in the future! What should you do if he has an opinion against you? "

In addition to these 'external' pressures, the situation within the cabinet also gave Wang Xijue a huge headache.

His Majesty the Emperor did not show up no matter what. The ministers were so anxious that they wanted to hit the wall. However, they tried all kinds of tricks, but His Majesty the Emperor did not respond.

And Wang Xijue also knew that Shen Shixing was causing trouble for him.

However, in the court, the 'presence' of these two things is not considered 'important'.

"Have you already had a way to deal with it?" Wang Shuxue wiped the tears on his face and asked hurriedly: "What way?"

The temperament of these two people can be said to be completely different.

……

Wang Xijue, who was half exhausted, didn't want to receive guests. He was not in the mood.

However, Wang Juxue's way of 'visiting' him could be described as very discreet. As soon as he walked in, he hugged Wang Xijue and burst into tears!
"Master Wang, the merger of the three kings cannot continue! Now everyone outside is scolding you. Do you know how unpleasant they are?

It was such an 'ordinary' question, but it made Wang Xijue stunned for a moment!
In my ears, Wang Jouxue's voice was still ringing. This student was conducting a detailed 'analysis' of his teacher:

"Sir, please stop crying. You don't have to worry about this. I have already prepared a way to deal with it." Wang Xijue comforted the student while helping him straighten his crooked bun.

Zhang Wei is the complete opposite. This man is quite thoughtful. He not only likes to cause trouble, but also likes to take care of things. It seems that they want to restore the power of the "cabinet" to the glory of Zhang Juzheng's time as chief minister, and use the cabinet to strictly control the six ministries and hundreds of officials.

Zhao Zhigao has a gentle personality and adheres to the concept of "muddling along" in everything. He mainly does not cause trouble and does not care about things.

Most of my hair, which was already gray, had only been gray for less than two days. Looking at it, there were not a few black streaks left.

All of a sudden, the demon book case, the simultaneous sealing of the three kings, and the invitation of the emperor's eldest son to come out of the palace to study came one after another, pointing directly at Emperor Wanli who was "hiding" in the deep palace and "pretending to be dead"!

However, Emperor Wanli still didn't seem to see or hear these 'voices', and didn't even respond at all.

"Master Wang, you said that you have a secret message that can ensure that you will not be blamed when the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne in the future. But if it is the third son of the emperor who ascends the throne, how can the third son of the emperor tolerate you then?

The merger of the three kings is now well known to everyone. Everyone thinks that this matter was proposed by you to the emperor. If you still ignore this matter, you will have offended all the ministers and officials!
Have you ever thought about what will happen to these people after you have offended the ministers in the dynasty? So what if the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne? Will the eldest son of the emperor thank you?

Will the eldest son of the emperor offend the ministers and officials in order to protect you? Master Wang, have you forgotten Zhang Juzheng? Whoever we offend should not offend our colleagues! "

Wang Shuxue's voice of advice pierced the blade of the knife and pierced Wang Xijue's heart.

Yes, if the third son of the emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely not protect himself, because Wang Xijue has never thought of supporting the third son of the emperor from the beginning to the end. The merger of the three kings is just a smooth sailing move for him to consolidate his position as chief minister. That’s all!
But what if the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne? If the three kings were granted the title at the same time, then Wang Xijue would have offended everyone in the dynasty! Even if the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne by then, he will not thank him much, let alone offend the ministers and officials in order to protect him!

Wang Xijue had not considered these problems before, but he believed that as long as he had confidence, no matter what the problem was, it would be solved!

Facts have proved that knowing the existence of a problem and looking directly at the existence of the problem again after the problem has been analyzed are two completely different concepts.

At this moment, the answers to various questions that Wang Xijue would encounter in the future were analyzed by Wang Xuexue one by one, and they were spread out in front of him!

"Who asked you to say this to me?" Wang Xijue, who noticed something was wrong, looked directly at his student and asked directly.

No one knows Wang Juxue as a student better than him. He doesn’t believe that these are things that Wang Juxue, a young student, can consider!
Wang Zuoxue was also stunned for a moment. After sighing, he did not hide it and said honestly:

"What that man said was indeed right. You saw through it as expected. To tell you the truth, it was Uncle Gu who asked me to pass these words on to you."

"Uncle Gu?" Wang Xijue was surprised. He and Gu Xiancheng had nothing to do with each other. Why did the other party do this?
Wang Juxue added: "Uncle Gu said, you'd better persuade the emperor to let the eldest son go out to study, otherwise... you will become the next Zhang Juzheng..."

Wang Xijue didn't say anything else, he just sent Wang Xuexue away hastily, and then sat alone in the study and began to meditate.

"Gu Xiancheng, what on earth is he going to do?" Wang Xijue couldn't figure out why Gu Xiancheng got involved so well? And isn’t the other party always working as a recommendation officer in other places? Why did you come to the capital?

After thinking hard for a while, Wang Xijue discovered something was wrong!

"Ye Xianggao!" Recalling Ye Xianggao's memorial to impeach him despite watching the excitement, Wang Xijue was originally wondering why the impeachment letter came so quickly when the other party was far away in Yingtian!
It seems that Gu Xiancheng is behind this!

No! Not Gu Xiancheng!
Gu Xiancheng is far away in Quanzhou, so far away, it can't be him!
For some reason, the first thing that flashed through Wang Xijue's mind was the face of the 'Shadow in the Dream'!
With doubts, Wang Xijue immediately called the housekeeper and asked him to go to the imperial prison to inquire about something immediately!

……

An hour later, the housekeeper came back and gave Wang Xijue the answer.

"Sir, Gu Xiancheng was the second person to visit Zhang Chonghui in the imperial prison. It is said that the two of them hit it off immediately and chatted for an hour before Gu Xiancheng left," the housekeeper said.

"Okay! Gu Xianguo actually went to the imperial prison and met him!" Wang Xijue sneered and asked, "What did the two of them talk about in the imperial prison?"

The housekeeper replied: "I just heard that they talked about opening an academy."

"Open an academy?" Wang Xijue was puzzled. He didn't believe that these two people only talked about this: "If you tell me more carefully, didn't they say anything unusual?"

"It's not normal?" The housekeeper was also very embarrassed. He was not present at the time. Even the information he got was 'second-hand information' obtained from Jin Yiwei's mouth. How could he know such details?
However, after thinking about it carefully, the housekeeper still gave an answer that he felt was "not normal" and said:

"According to the Jin Yiwei, Zhang Chonghui and Gu Xiancheng chatted nonsense for a long time, and even had a pair of jokes.

The content of this pair of words, the younger one still remembers it very clearly, because it is very catchy, called:
The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, can be heard in my ears; I care about everything about my family, state, and world affairs. "

"The sound of wind and rain and the sound of reading can be heard in your ears? Do you care about family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs?" Wang Xijue read again, and suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He sneered loudly and said:

"Haha! What are they talking about about the academy and the pairing? They are doing this under the guise of opening an academy and talking about the pairing!
What they really talked about! In fact, it was to let the eldest son of the emperor leave the cabinet! Force the emperor to appoint a prince! Drive me, Wang Xijue, out of the cabinet again! "

……

Imprisonment.

Jin Yiwei directly removed the lock on Zhang Chonghui's cell door.

In other words, people who come to visit the prison can now go in and 'sit' with Zhang Chonghui...

"I'm Du Yanyun, don't you remember me?"

"Uh... do we really know each other?"

"So, you really don't remember me at all?"

"I really don't know you. Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"You heartless young man!"

"..."

Looking at the little girl in front of him who was pale and thin, with a delicate face, but was wearing a very ill-fitting men's clothing, who was obviously a girl disguised as a boy, Zhang Chonghui had a look of confusion on his face. He really didn't remember who she was.

Du Yanyun pinched her nose tightly with one hand, and while using her sleeve to gently fan the air around her mouth with her other hand, she explained somewhat eagerly:

"I am Yan'er! Have you forgotten? That day, you kicked in Shen Hanlin's door, and you still praised me for my ideals!"

"Oh..." Zhang Chonghui finally remembered: "So it's you, the little girl who wants to make progress."

"Yes, yes, it's me!" Du Yanyun seemed very excited that the other person finally remembered who he was, and the hand that had pinched his nose because of the unpleasant smell around him became slightly relaxed in excitement.

The next moment, she almost retched from the indescribable smell of death around her.

"It stinks so much here, can't you smell it?" Du Yanyun covered her nose tightly, her eyebrows furrowed until they were almost tangled together.

Looking at the young man in front of her without even frowning, the little girl's heart was filled with wonder.

Zhang Chonghui did not answer the question, but asked: "What are you doing here?"

Du Yanyun didn't ask further questions, but replied with regret: "I heard that you were going to die, so I came to see you off on your last journey."

Recalling the other party's special identity, Zhang Chonghui couldn't help but wonder: Are women in brothels so free?

Moreover, they only met once. It would be an understatement to say that their friendship was as shallow as that of a bastard.

With such a shallow 'friendship', is it necessary to come all the way to this dirty, smelly place with dead people everywhere just to see him off for the last time?
No, there is definitely a scam here!

"Who asked you to come...Hey! What do you want to do?"

Zhang Chonghui was about to ask Du Yanyun who sent him, but before he could finish asking, he saw the little girl taking off her clothes very eagerly and quickly!
"Stop talking nonsense!" While Du Yanyun was taking off his clothes, he urgently urged Zhang Chonghui: "You should take off your clothes quickly too!"

Zhang Chonghui was also stunned...

Which one is this from?
"What on earth are you going to do?" Zhang Chonghui asked again, his tone not gentle.

"Oh, why are you so fierce? A man and a woman take off their clothes, what else can they do..."

Du Yanyun stopped moving, looking frightened, and suddenly said with aggrieved voice:

"The slave family fell in love with you at first sight, and now you are going to die... The only thing the slave family can do is to let you be a man for once before you die...

This is the first time for the slave family. I have wronged myself to give you my body in such a dirty place, but you are still so cruel..."

Faced with the grievance and coquettishness of a beautiful little girl, most normal people will pity her.

However, Zhang Chonghui, just like the fish that RT-Mart had killed for decades, asked coldly: "Who sent you here?"

Du Yanyun still didn't answer directly. Seeing that it was useless to show off, she rolled her eyes again, and then she suddenly looked like "I understand" and said with a playful smile:
"Zhang Lang, I know you are poor, don't worry, I won't charge you."

"Oh? Free?" Zhang Chonghui seemed interested.

"Yes, it's free." Du Yanyun nodded shyly and continued to take off his hands.

The little girl seemed to be so embarrassed that she couldn't even smell the pungent smell that had previously made her sick to the point of retching. She could only urge her impatiently:
"Zhang Lang, please take off your clothes quickly. Mom is still waiting for me outside. If I go out too late, she will scold me."

"Ha." Zhang Chonghui suddenly laughed. Then, he suddenly stood up and rushed towards Du Yanyun who was taking off his clothes!
Seeing Zhang Chonghui rushing towards him like a hungry ghost, Du Yanyun guessed that the other party was impatient and wanted to 'tear' his clothes himself.

Feeling extremely disappointed and helpless, Du Yanyun closed her eyes, ready to pull out the poisonous hairpin from her head and stab the opponent at any time!
however……

The next moment, Du Yanyun felt like... flying?
"boom!"

By the time Du Yanyun came to her senses, she had been mercilessly 'thrown' out of the cell by Zhang Chonghui, knocking her hard on her butt!

"boom!"

Zhang Chonghui closed the unlocked cell door again, without even looking at the little girl who was lying on the ground, covering her butt, with a look of pain on her face.

If he had been young and frivolous, he might not have been able to refuse such a beautiful thing when a beautiful woman threw herself into his arms for free.

However, now, he knows one thing very clearly——

——Free is the most expensive thing in the world!
