Obtain the divine power at the beginning

After everyone drank tea and chatted for a while, An Yinqi and his wife came to the living room and invited everyone to the kitchen for dinner.

After lunch, Shi Tianyu was about to take An Yinqi and his wife, as well as Pan Dong and Peng Jinshi to Mingjing Inn to rest.

The Shi Mansion was given to Liu Cong and Han Yufeng, so Shi Tianyu had to live in an inn temporarily.

~~

"ah!"

At this time, the door of the mansion opened again.

Feng Tianzhu and Han Chaozhen came in with sad faces.

When you go out, look at the weather; when you come in, look at the faces. When Shi Tianyu saw that Feng Tianzhu and Han Chaozhen looked strange, he waved to them and whispered, "Please follow me."

Then he turned his head and whispered to Peng Jinshi, "You guys check around. If anyone comes looking for me, just say I'm using the toilet."

After saying that, he led Feng Tianzhu and the others into the cellar.

~~

Although the cellar is small, it is a good place to talk about secrets.

Feng Tianzhu and Han Chaozhen walked into the cellar, suddenly burst into tears, hugged Shi Tianyu's legs, and slid to their knees on the ground.

Han Chaozhen burst into tears and said, "Master Shi, Master Yang Lian and others are in trouble. Master Shi, please save Master Yang and other upright ministers! Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"

Shi Tianyu hurriedly helped Feng Tianzhu and Han Chaozhen up and wiped their tears with his sleeves.

Although I had an ominous feeling in my heart, I remained calm.

I'm used to being calm.

Shi Tianyu whispered again: "Brother Feng, Brother Han, if you have something to say, just speak slowly. There's no need to cry. The sky won't fall."

~~

Han Chaozhen wept as he recounted Yang Lian's unfortunate experience. He choked up as he said, "The eunuch officials submitted memorials to expose the guilt of upright ministers such as Lord Yang. Wei Zhongxian has ordered the East Factory Guards to arrest Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Chaorui, Wei Dazhong, Gu Dazhang, and Yuan Huazhong and put them in jail, accusing Lord Yang and others of accepting bribes from Xiong Tingbi. Woo!"

If you really want to inflict a crime, why bother?

How many years has it been since Xiong Tingbi was executed by Wei Yan and his gang?

Now he has even accused Yang Lian and others of accepting bribes from Xiong Tingbi.

Isn't this a dead end with no evidence?

~~

Shi Tianyu said sadly: "Lord Yang has always been honest. When I first joined the Ministry of Personnel, he and Lord Yin and other court officials donated their houses to raise silver and grain for the soldiers of Shanhaiguan. How could such a loyal and honest person accept bribes?

Lord Xiong is also a poor man, where did he get the money to give to Lord Yang and the others?"

That being said, although I feel sad, I know that this day will come.

Because Wei Zhongxian was not looking for Yang Lian and others to settle accounts.

Instead, Zhu Youxiao wanted to settle accounts with Yang Lian and others, but he just asked Wei Zhongxian to come forward.

However, in Shi Tianyu's opinion, this kind of thing happening now is not a bad thing.

Next, Shi can revise the laws of the Ming Dynasty and abolish the clause that strictly prohibits the development of industry and commerce, so that the Ming Dynasty can become rich and revitalized. However, these inner thoughts cannot be told to Feng Tianzhu and Han Chaozhen, the two young guards.

Even if he explained it, the two young guards wouldn't understand.

How could these two young guards understand the truth that "there is no wealth without work"?

~~

Feng Tianzhu shed tears and recounted the incident in detail: "Fu Xing's sworn brother, the Imperial Censor Fu Huai, impeached the Cabinet Secretary Wang Wenyan for colluding with Zuo Guangdou and Wei Dazhong, disrupting the system and harming the government, and doing evil for personal gain.

Wei Zhongxian then ordered the guards of the Eastern Depot to arrest Wang Wenyan and put him in prison.

Xu Xianchun immediately used the five tortures of irons, shackles, and clamps on him, beating Wang Wenyan to death. He then ordered people to force Wang Wenyan's hand to sign a seal, and then reported to the court, saying that Wang Wenyan had confessed and testified against Yang Lian and others.

After saying this, she burst into tears again, feeling very sad and sorry for Wang Wenyan.

~~

Han Chaozhen wept and added to Yang Lian's case, saying sadly: "Wang Wenyan is dead and there is no evidence. Lord Yang and Lord Zuo believe that if you do not admit to accepting bribes, you will most likely be tortured to death by Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang guards.

If he could admit to accepting bribes, perhaps the Dongchang Guards could transfer the case to the Ministry of Justice for trial, and there would still be a chance to overturn the verdict. So he naively admitted to the false accusation of accepting bribes.

However, Wei Zhongxian did not transfer the case to the Ministry of Justice, but asked Lord Yang and others to return the stolen money immediately.

Lord Yang was falsely accused of stealing 20,000 taels of silver.

"Mr. Yang's entire fortune is worth less than two hundred taels of silver! Woo!"

After saying this, he also burst into tears, feeling very sad for Yang Lian and other ministers.

~~

Shi Tianyu sighed to the sky, tears streaming down his face, and said sadly: "Alas! Lord Yang, why hasn't he fully understood who Wei Yan is? Alas! Lord Yang and his people are too bookish and too naive."

He could shed tears whenever he wanted and cry whenever he wanted. His acting skills in officialdom became more and more sophisticated.

~~

Feng Tianzhu knelt in front of Shi Tianyu with another plop, and said in a sobbing voice, "Lord Yang has always been poor. When his family property was confiscated by the government, it was less than a thousand gold. His two sons have to beg for a living. How can they hand over 20,000 taels of silver? Lord Shi, you are wealthy, please support Lord Yang!" Shi Tianyu stamped his feet and beat his chest and said, "If I support Lord Yang, doesn't it mean that Lord Yang is guilty of taking bribes? Alas! I will go to the palace to find Wei Yan and his gang to reason." After that, he turned and left.

He looked as if he was going to find Wei Zhongxian to seek justice.

In fact, Shi Tianyu knew very well that there was no justice or unfairness in disputes between the government and the people.

It’s nothing more than the winner becomes the king and the loser becomes the bandit.

~~

When Han Chaozhen heard this, he felt that what Shi Tianyu said made a lot of sense.

He quickly stopped Shi Tianyu and reminded him, choking with sobs, "Master Shi, you cannot see any officials or enter the palace now. Otherwise, you will be thrown into prison like Master Yang and the others, and you will be tortured to death by the evil Jinyiwei."

Shi Tianyu raised his sleeves, wiped his tears, and said firmly: "Never mind, Brother Han, you go to the palace to find Xu Xianchun first, give him two gold ingots, and ask him to secretly send someone to take me to the palace. Oh! Let him secretly send someone to take me to the Jinyiwei dungeon. I will see Lord Yang first, and then go to Wei Yan to reason."

No matter what, I have to go and see Yang Lian.

No matter how the court disputes are, Shi Tianyu still has to look at Yang Lian and other upright court officials. Their starting point for sharing the worries of the Ming Dynasty is good, but their ideas are too conservative and rigid, and they always want to control the emperor.

This violates the "heavenly rules and regulations".

Which emperor would like to be controlled by courtiers under the dragon throne for his entire life?

Even Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, who was a bird in a cage, would contact court officials many times to assassinate Cao Cao and poison him!

~~

After Shi Tianyu finished speaking, he took out two gold ingots and stuffed them into Han Chaozhen's pockets.

~~

Feng Tianzhu stood up, stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Shi Tianyu's sleeve, and said: "Master Shi, I will go with you to visit Master Yang."
