It is said that the New Year is sad and every year is over. At the end of the tenth year of Qiyuan, there was a war and the Silk Road was temporarily cut off from business. The government was also very compact because His Majesty changed six departments. face, it was very uncomfortable.

If you want to say that Qin Jian is really, isn’t it just a war? I have never seen him so sad when he fought against Lancang when the national treasury was tight. Now that the treasury is full of money earned from Western trade, he is getting more and more embarrassed. , All the officials didn't give him a good face on the surface, and they complained even more secretly.

At the end of the year, Emperor Qiyuan gave a banquet and set up a canteen for the officials. A restaurant was set up opposite the Biezhi Pavilion, which was dedicated to the officials of the upper court for breakfast and lunch. The top ministers who entered the cabinet had three dishes and one soup as their base, and they could also order dishes.

Prices in the capital are high and living is not easy, this move is a great benefit, the officials were immediately grateful to give thanks, and the low-ranking and not greedy officials could not wait to kowtow and make double shadows.

According to Gu Zhen's own words, it is necessary to leave some opportunities for people to make money. He will not have the kind of daydream that officials all over the world have nothing to do.

Master Qin Jian was eating in the cafeteria, with a serious face, coming and going like a cold wind.

In the 11th year of Qiyuan, it has been so busy.

The battle in the southeast sea was not difficult. The navy guarded the coastline, and the coalition forces failed to log in. But everyone has come out of the cold weapon era. Ships|cannons come and go, and the casualties cannot be underestimated. No matter how late he was when he received the news from the military, his eyes were always clear, so bright that it made Father-in-law Sanbao feel sad, and he spent all day researching stewed tonic for His Majesty, which smelled like medicine all over his body.

There was constant news from the Western Regions. Ape Wei knew that His Majesty was concerned, so he sent elite soldiers. Whenever there was news, he would write and send it. The latest news was that the elite soldiers had contacted the kidnapped Boss Xie, and they were all alive. Leaning back into the chair, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Still alive, still alive.

He was only relaxed for a moment, and immediately wrote a secret order to go, emphasizing again that Yuan Wei should focus on saving people, and there must be no loss.

After the two ends were dealt with, Sanbao came to report that Liu Ying was here to say goodbye. Gu Zhen waved his hand and said: "Let her go on the road, everything that needs to be said has been said, this time the errand is done well, I will let her go." half of the bill."

After a while, Sanbao came in with a smile, and said that Liu Xun became energetic after hearing the press, and hurriedly said that he would set off immediately and run fast.

Gu Zhen laughed in a low voice, and buried his head in the memorial that was pre-approved by the cabinet.

San Bao also lowered his eyebrows, changed His Majesty's cup of warm tea quietly, took the cold tea out of the imperial study, and saw King Yan Gu Wuji head-on.

San Bao praised the young man for being more chic, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you can go in directly, Your Majesty just gave orders."

Gu Wuji was taken care of by Three Treasures since he was a child, and he respected him very much. At that time, he smiled at Three Treasures, nodded, and went into the imperial study as he said, and met the emperor's uncle. He stood by and watched the emperor's uncle handle the memorial. Question, Emperor Qiyuan stopped writing and took it to test the school. Gu Wuji knew the meaning of the school test and did not dare to neglect it at all.

One taught with all his heart, and the other learned with all his heart, and by the time it came to an end, it was already getting late.

Seeing that Uncle Huang was a bit haggard, Gu Wuji guessed that it was because Uncle Xie was on the battlefield, so he didn't stay for dinner, fearing that Uncle Huang would still talk to him when he was tired.

He left Miyagi, Haiming was waiting at the city gate.

Haiming is now in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he is very busy every day, but he still lives in Yanwang's mansion. He was pointed out to Yanwang by Emperor Qiyuan. King's confidant.

Back at King Yan's mansion, the steward asked what food he had prepared, King Yan frowned slightly, and said, "Give me a bowl of Bistem rice porridge, and some refreshing side dishes, and nothing else is necessary."

Thinking of the master's tiring day in the palace, the butler was worried that the porridge would not fill his stomach, so he gave some persuasion, but failed, and gave Haiming a wink.

Haiming pretended he didn't notice, he had a good appetite, he told himself what he wanted to eat, and ordered the butler to pass on the meal.

After the housekeeper went down, Haiming asked: "Master, do you have a bad appetite?"

Gu Wuji also felt helpless for such a small matter, and he was so troublesome to the people around him. He simply explained: "I have to be executed tomorrow, so I don't want to eat."

Haiming suddenly realized that he was too busy and dizzy, he didn't think of it for a while, tomorrow is the day when Wen Jinli will be executed.Thinking of Wen Jinli's life destined to be famous, Haiming sighed: "Live a glorious life, and die a glorious death."

Gu Wuji kicked him far away.

The next day, it really was a beautiful scene. The common people dragged their families with them. It was just dawn, and both sides of the road from the gate of the prison to Caishikou were already occupied by crowds. As soon as the prison car carrying Wen Jinli, Wu Du, and Jiang Qi appeared, It is the scene of "rotten vegetables and peels fly together, stones and paper balls dance together".

The Jingwei guards looked tense, maintaining order, and paraded all the way to Caishikou in a chaotic way. The prison car was already horrible, let alone the three prisoners.

The leader of the Jingwei stepped forward and reported to King Yan on the stage, "Your Highness, the death row is here."

King Yan nodded, and read the crimes of the three aloud to the father-in-law beside him.

Wen Jinli showed disdain. After listening to his conviction, he didn't expect to hear the words "collaborating with the enemy and treason". Jingwei stopped after shouting.

The crimes of the three people read out were irrefutable, and Wen Jinli, who wanted to "cry for injustice", was speechless and could only stand there in a daze.

"The hour is coming."

After the King of Yan got out of the case, he bowed to Wen Jinli from a distance, and said in a loud voice: "Master Wen has contributed to the court for many years, but people's hearts change easily. This king salutes to show his respect to the minister who was a pillar of the past. Let's go. good."

Wen Jinli turned his head away, pretending not to hear.Turning around, he saw Wen Chongde pretending to be in the audience, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, and showing a mocking smile to Wen Jinli, who turned his face away, Wen Jinli's face flushed with anger, and he seemed more and more unrepentant, which aroused the onlookers public outrage.

It is not appropriate to delay any longer, King Yan ordered in a solemn voice: "Get ready!"

The three were dragged to Taichung and knelt down, and the three executioners stood behind them with sharp machetes.

At this moment, Wu Du and Jiang Qi burst into tears, shouting "Forgive me", "Your Majesty forgive me", "Help me" and other words.

"quiet!"

Jing Zhaoyin roared angrily, whether it had an effect or knew that the matter was irreversible, the two quieted down, shaking like quails, and the prison clothes were wet.

Wen Jinli remained silent, his face numb.

For the final dignity of the prime minister of the whole country, the palace people erected tulle screens on all sides.

"The time has come!"

"Execution!"

The sun had already risen, and the blade of the sword flashed in the sky, and the executioner skillfully chopped it off with a single stroke, separating the body and head neatly, and the blood spattered the white gauze.

Wu Zuo stepped forward to check, and knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness, the leader of the bandit is here to punish you!"

King Yan nodded, "It's good to restrain the body, and this king will enter the palace to report to His Majesty."

As soon as the words came out, the common people knelt down one after another, shouting "Your Highness, a thousand years old" and "Your Majesty, long live!"

King Yan led the crowd to leave, and those who were sick in the crowd were scrambling to get up and stain the blood on the ground. Wen Chongde looked at it and thought it was boring. Just as he was about to leave, he looked up and saw a man wearing a hat and still standing there. , smiled, said two words "good luck" to himself, turned around and left.

The one wearing the bamboo hat was Mei Ziqi. He didn't notice Wen Chongde's attention. When he came back to his senses, he quickly turned into another street and got into the long-awaited carriage. Corrupted, unable to return to his hometown, planning to go to a small southern city, and end his life here.

The crowd dispersed, Feng Pei and Zhuo Yuan bowed their hands to each other and went their separate ways.

Some people lamented: "How beautiful the literary career was in those days, how can I think of it today."

Some people disdain: "Many acts of unrighteousness will lead to self-death, the law of heaven is obvious."

Someone conspired: "Who knows what's inside, the water is very deep!"

When the court ended today, King Yan entered the imperial study with the reward. Emperor Qiyuan nodded after hearing this, and calmly let him go back to the Yamen to do his own business. King Yan bowed and retired.

As soon as the door was closed, Gu Zhen also closed his eyes.

He was no longer attacked by the nightmare of burning himself.Da Chu has long since stopped going downhill.

At this moment, the Wen Party no longer exists, and Wen Jinli is finally dead.

He is finally dead!

In this life until today, I have only truly felt that it is really a change of fate against the sky and a new start.

Gu Zhen opened his eyes, stretched his hand into his arms, and held the jade tablet on his heart.

It's a pity he's not here.

Kuro, you must return safely.

On the same day, the palace issued an announcement explaining the case of the Wen Party in detail, and the next day the official newspaper proposed a discussion on handling the case according to law. Scholars from all over the place were concerned about the situation of the coastal war while discussing it happily.

With the newspapers, the news of the war spread quickly, not one day later than in the palace. Everyone knew that the Navy was sunk by a warship yesterday, causing heavy casualties and causing national grief and indignation.

The coastal battle was in full swing, and the DPRK and China were not peaceful.

A few days after Wen Jinli was put to death, he entered the court according to a memorial from Liu Ying, and the lamp oil teaching case in Jiangxi Province was published.

Emperor Qiyuan: "What do you think?"

The Lamp Oil Sect was under the banner of Buddhism, and Emperor Qiyuan didn't show his attitude at all. The wind direction was unclear, and all the officials hesitated to speak. People thoroughly investigate, if it is true, we must send troops to quell it.

Emperor Qi Yuan didn't express his opinion, but asked again: "What about the others?"

It's not a problem that no one speaks. Gradually, some people stand up and say that there may be some misunderstanding, some people say that Xiaguan and Mr. Jiang think the same way, some people say that the local government should investigate and investigate, and so on.

Emperor Qiyuan looked at the other cabinet ministers again: "Cabinet ministers, what do you think?"

After being named, everyone said it one by one. After all, the cabinet is more reliable. Everyone has the same meaning as Jiang Zaidao, and they act according to the law.

Emperor Qi Yuan nodded, and then he smiled: "It should be so, as expected of an important minister in the cabinet, I am very relieved."

So those officials who were scruples about Buddhism and muddy mud turned pale.

"Let the branch of Dali Temple in Jiangxi Province check it out," Emperor Qiyuan ordered at last, "Let me see how Dali Temple is doing locally."

Jiang Zaidao received the order and ordered it on the same day.Afterwards, the Q&A in the hall that day was spread out, and in conjunction with Liu Ying's article about the Lamp Oil Sect in the official newspaper the next day, a gust of wind blew up in the academy.

The elders of Xiuyun Temple have sharp eyes and ears. Since ancient times, the imperial court has not only done things, but always followed the direction of the wind. He guessed in his heart that His Majesty might have to take action, and he was very worried.The next day, all the monks from Xiuyun Temple went to the Shuiguan Pagoda to pray for His Majesty. They made it very simple and without extravagance.

When Emperor Qiyuan heard the report from the Three Treasures, he smiled and gave three words: "Too smart."

Under the imperial power, cleverness is useless.
