[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

Wang Ren's fortune-telling skill is a cheating tool. This is the first time that the Minister of Criminal Affairs has watched how Wang Ren solves the case up close.His mood after reading it: ...

To find a suspect, you need to look at the physiognomy, to find evidence, use fortune-telling, and if you encounter doubts, do a fortune-telling.From the beginning to the end, rather than saying that he was investigating the case, it would be better to say that he was always telling fortunes.However, this seemingly unreliable method is super effective.Wang Ren didn't take any detours, didn't waste any time, and went straight to the case center. When he got the ledger and the confession, the servant of the criminal department was a little confused.The Dali Temple Minister's style of handling cases...is really different.

After getting the evidence, several people discussed it, and reported the memorial and physical evidence truthfully the next day.As Thirteen and the minister of punishment said, Wang Ren is a pure minister, so he should look like a pure minister.What's more, now that this is a battle between the crown prince and the eighth elder brother, they just watch.

The emperor didn't know what to think when he got the memorial. In short, he didn't attack Tuo Heqi's life immediately, but suppressed the case and didn't mention it for now.

The prince seemed to be in a hurry by the eighth elder brother. Only two days later, Zhao Shenqiao, the censor of Zuodu, who was also from the prince's faction, filed a letter to sue Dai Mingshi, saying that there were treasonous things in his book "Nanshan Collection". remarks.

Dai Mingshi was an editor for the Hanlin Academy, worked in Beijing, and participated in the compilation work of the Ming History Museum.He himself is also a very talented person, and he has a good reputation among many civil servants and talented scholars. He can be said to be a representative of that group of civil servants and talented scholars.The "Nanshan Collection" was indeed written by him, and it has been published in the Qing Dynasty for several years, and it is highly respected.Now being brought up by Zhao Shenqiao, the censor of Zuodu, it is definitely not because he discovered this book "Great Rebellion", but because the crown prince is being watched too closely by Kangxi. .It's just that none of us expected that this "Nanshan Ji" would become a guide, a fire, a clue, and hundreds of people would be implicated in this case, shocking scholars.Zhao Shenqiao, the censor of Zuodu, sued because he mentioned the history of Ming Dynasty in "Nanshan Collection".

At that time, because there were a lot of Ming history materials scattered, but most of them were not recorded, so few people could write Ming history.However, Dai Mingshi was always proud of his historical knowledge, so he wanted to follow Sima Qian's writing of "Historical Records". He collected materials extensively, cross-referenced each other, and strived to be true, so as to write a valuable work.However, it was precisely because of the description of the decline of the Ming Dynasty when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs that he was convicted.

This was originally a matter of Dai Mingshi alone, but this book has been published for several years, and it has been collected by many literati and is highly respected.It became one of the best-selling books at that time, and most of the literati who admired this book were involved.It led to a wide range of entanglements.When the royal family of the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they won over people's hearts and controlled their thoughts, built the Ming Mausoleum, and shaved their hair to enclose the land.Both are for better control of the people.In terms of how to control its subjects, the Qing Dynasty achieved the ultimate.

It was originally a struggle between the princes, but it suddenly turned into a literary prison. Every day Wang Ren could see Kangxi throwing people into prison in anger, and then some beheaded, some were exiled, and some ransacked their homes.Not only the court, but the entire capital was affected, and people were panicked.When Wang Ren went out and walked along the street, there were very few pedestrians outside, and everyone walked in a hurry.Many smaller shops simply closed their doors and stopped doing business.I'm afraid that one day the official will come to my home to see if he has that book.In fact, ordinary people rarely suffer from disasters. How many ordinary farmers and small businesses can read? Even if they can read, who would buy a document that tells history unless they have literary accomplishments?But even if they knew it in their hearts, they couldn't avoid the fear in these little people's hearts, and they were too scared to go out.

Fortunately, Wang Ren's family was not searched. Should we be glad that this is the poor trust that Kangxi gave?In fact, it doesn't matter if I check, Wang Ren doesn't have that book at home.His younger brother, Wang Yi, didn't have that book either, and neither of them was interested in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Because he didn't want to see the frightened faces of the people in the court hall, and he didn't want to see the desolate scene in the street, Wang Ren directly claimed that he was sick and hid at home, and he also told his younger brother several times not to go out if he was fine.

Since the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there have been few such large-scale literary inquisitions.

Wang Ren was aggrieved at home, so he went to Shisan's house instead. He didn't know what he was doing to see Shisan at this time, but in his heart... it was awkward!

In Thirteenth Master's mansion, he was leisurely reading a book in his bedroom, sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, his hair disheveled and his clothes loose, and he hadn't even washed himself.He didn't report to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for the past few days, and hid at home to relax.

Wang Ren rushed into Shisan's room angrily, and lay down next to Master Shisan, silent.

"Have you had breakfast?" Thirteenth Master said while reading a book.

"No." Wang Ren said with a stuffy face under the quilt.

"I cooked porridge and steamed stuffed buns in the kitchen this morning. If you're hungry, let Xiao Li warm it up for you." Thirteenth Master was still staring at the book, but slowly turned a page.

Wang Ren was silent, and after a while he said in a muffled voice: "Do you think...is this okay?"

"If you don't like porridge, let the kitchen cook a bowl of noodles for you," Shisan said.

"I don't mean breakfast!" Wang Ren said angrily.

Thirteenth Lord was finally willing to put down the book in his hand, looked down at Wang Ren, stroked his shoulder and asked softly, "Because of this "Nanshan Ji" case?"

"Yes. You also think it's treason?" Wang Ren stared straight at Shisan Dao.

Thirteen was silent for a moment, then continued to read the book and said, "I don't know."

Wang Ren: "Huh?"

"As a prince, such a book with such content really shouldn't be allowed to continue to be published." The Thirteenth Lord said, "As a subject... I don't want to see such a result."

Wang Ren stared at Thirteen fixedly, and then continued to hide his face in the quilt: "It doesn't matter if you say it or you don't say it."

"What answer do you want me to give?" Thirteen asked.

"It's not the answer I want. If you were...the one...how would you choose?" Wang Ren asked.

Thirteen was silent, and after a while he put down his book and said, "Don't do anything."

Wang Ren looked at Thirteen in doubt.

"Although the content of this book is a bit out of line for the royal family, it doesn't matter to me. People need real history, and what is recorded here is not false." Thirteenth Master shook the book in his hand Book Road.

Wang Ren stared fixedly at the cover of this book, on which were written four big characters: Dai Nanshan Collection.

Because it was written by Dai Mingshi, most of the published books have these four characters in their titles.

Wang Ren felt that his hairs were on the verge of blowing up, he grabbed the pages of the book, and then said angrily: "How dare you!" Then he realized that his voice was too loud, and whispered cautiously: "How dare you!" I’m reading this book! Now His Majesty is furious and is searching every house, and you actually!”

"No one will search Elder Brother's mansion." The Thirteenth Master took the book away from Wang Ren, flipped through a few pages, found the place he just saw, and continued to read.

Wang Ren was choking with anger, gnashing his teeth: "You are so bold! The news about the prince's mansion can be known by the eighth elder brother, how do you know that your mansion is monolithic!"

"Because the relationship between me and you has not been known to the emperor." Thirteenth Lord said confidently, "My mansion is clean and clean with few people."

Wang Ren lost his temper and fell on the bed humming.

"Don't make noise." Thirteen said.

Wang Ren: "How much more do you want to see?"

Thirteen flipped through the book and said, "More than ten pages."

"Okay." Wang Ren said, "Give it to me after reading it, and we'll burn it. You only have this one, right?"

"Only this one." Thirteen was puzzled, "Why did you burn it? This book is well written."

"What can I do if I don't burn it? Keep it? Although I know it's a little bit... But it is a fact that it is a disaster now! Don't think that it is easy for you to be His Majesty's son. Once you are found out, you will..." Wang Ren said anxiously .

Thirteen silently stared at Wang Ren, saw that he looked like he was about to cry, and touched his face: "I know, Father will not let me go if he finds out." Father doesn't value family affection very much.

Wang Ren sniffed.

"But this book... I don't want to just burn it like this." Thirteen said, "Maybe in a few days, "Nanshan Collection" will be the only one left in my hand. It's a good book, I don't want it Just disappear."

Wang Ren stared at Shisan: "So you still want to keep it? You think I want to be a sinner because of..."

A kiss was imprinted on Wang Ren's lips, blocking what Wang Ren wanted to say. After the kiss, Wang Ren's face turned red.

"I know you're doing it for me." Thirteen smiled, "After reading it, we'll wrap it in silk and put it in a wooden box, and bury it. You know where it's safest to hide, right?"

Wang Ren gritted his teeth: "Understood. It's just this one time. In the future, if you do this kind of thing..."

"I will definitely tell you." Thirteen smiled.

Wang Ren's face turned red again, he buried his head in the quilt and remained silent.

In the silence, the voice of Gululu sounded.Thirteenth Master smiled, and patted Wang Ren lightly: "Go to the kitchen and ask for something to eat, and bring me some by the way."

Wang Ren: So you are reading without eating breakfast? It is true that you still haven't washed up.

Afterwards, Wang Ren and Shisan had a rare breakfast in bed, without washing their faces or brushing their teeth with green salt.

It was the first time after time travel that I was so lazy and decadent.It is estimated that for Thirteenth Master, this is also the first experience.

Could it be that Master Thirteen hid in the bedroom this time just to read this book?This case is indeed too big, if you can not be found that the thirteenth master is watching, then don't be found out.

At this time, in the eighth elder brother's mansion, the old eighth had not gone to the court, let alone his place of work, for two days, but stayed at home for two days.A few days ago, he was still thinking about Wang Ren's matter, wondering if he should try it out.Unexpectedly, before he took any action, the people from the prince's side came here.

Ba Ye's party members are all Confucian literati, and when the "Nanshan Ji" case came out, half of Eighth Brother's party members were seeded.In fact, it’s not just Ba Age’s people, even he himself likes to collect and read books because of his friendship with this group of Confucians. Of course he also has this "Nanshan Collection", but he doesn’t.

【Text·Continued】

He also likes to collect and read books. Of course he also has this "Nanshan Collection", but he has not read it seriously.He has no interest in historical materials.

After Dai Mingshi's case broke out, he immediately went to his study to find out the book, and burned it to ashes.Regardless of whether the father would let people check his mansion, he did not dare to leave this scourge.After burning the books, he was still able to go out to do things as usual a few days ago, but he felt very uncomfortable seeing the officials and scholars who had become friends with him being ransacked and exiled.I also thought about asking for love, but the crime was too serious, and Kangxi's face was so ugly, he couldn't say what to ask for, but he couldn't watch the people he knew were exiled and beheaded one by one, so he hid at home. See you for peace of mind.

Because of this, the hatred between the eighth elder brother and the prince is even heavier, but let the eighth master put aside Wang Ren's matter for the time being, and vow to never give up until the prince is brought down!
