The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 217 The Nanshan Case

When Sun Lianqiao came in, she saw that Gu Huaixiu's expression didn't seem quite right, and she was surprised: "I haven't seen you for three years, how can you look so haggard? Let me check my pulse..."

Gu Huaixiu pursed his lips, feeling a little suspicious.

She suppressed all her thoughts for the time being, invited Sun Lianqiao to sit down, and said: "I was just thinking about something a little bit preoccupied, and suddenly I returned to the capital, but I don't feel familiar at all, but everything is strange. .”

How could Sun Lianqiao not know what Gu Huaishu's situation was like now?
She had heard about it, but she couldn't comfort her, she just said: "With Mr. Zhang's ability, any situation can be turned around. Didn't Mr. Zhang enter the palace again when I came?"

"This time, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing."

Gu Huaishu was also quite outspoken. Good things are good, but there is no way to hide bad things. They will eventually spread. There is no need for her to hide it from Sun Lianqiao.

"I haven't seen my sister-in-law for three years, and she looks a lot plumper."

"Now that your elder brother has also grown up, and now he has found a job in the Ministry of Punishment, he is getting better gradually, so I feel relieved."

Sun Lianqiao already has the air of an adult, and because she knows medical skills, she takes good care of herself, so she still looks like a young woman in her twenties.

Gu Huaishu looked at her and said, "Your complexion is really good. If there is any beauty prescription, please give me one..."

After she finished speaking, she laughed herself, but stopped halfway through the laugh.

Sun Lianqiao only felt that she was very strange today: "I see that you look good, and you don't even see a single white hair. How can you use any beauty formula?"

Gu Huaixiu only said: "Didn't you see the white hair of my second master?"

"If you don't say it, I will forget it. I haven't seen your second master for several years. Is it as exaggerated as you said?"

Sun Lianqiao originally thought she was joking, but after she finished speaking, she saw Gu Huaishu's eyes looking at Can Xue outside the window with a bit of smoky mist, and realized that Gu Huaishu hadn't joked with her.

In fact, Gu Huaixiu didn't know what to say, she took Sun Lianqiao's hand, and said in a low voice, "If there ever comes a day, you will understand when you see him..."

Gu Huaixiu didn't age much, but Zhang Tingyu's white hair continued to break out one by one, and he didn't like Gu Huaixiu to help him comb his hair. He always cleaned it up every morning, and instead laughed at her for being old.

In fact, even if she asked Sun Lianqiao what prescription she wanted here, she might not have the guts to give it to Zhang Tingyu, it would be better...

"Sister-in-law, do you have..."

She said something in Sun Lianqiao's ear, and Sun Lianqiao looked at her in astonishment: "Are you crazy?"

Gu Huaixiu smiled, it was also a sudden thought, and regardless of whether Sun Lianqiao agreed, he just asked: "Is there?"

"...I've never seen anyone ask for this before. I can go back and look up ancient books for you...but...you are really crazy."

Is the second master who loves her crazy in love?
Sun Lianqiao has never seen such a woman who doesn't cherish herself. Who doesn't regard her appearance as her life?

But Gu Huaixiu wished that he would grow old sooner. Some people don't want to have white hair for the rest of their lives, but there are still monsters like her who yearn for white hair.

"How many women can't wait for your face, but you are willing to give it..."

"Even if I'm ugly, he will never leave me, so what's the matter with gray hair?"

Gu Huaishu brought Sun Lianqiao a plate of melon seed pancakes, which were all fried with fried sunflower seeds, and the mouthful was crispy. Sun Lianqiao usually likes this thing made by Shifang. Seeing Gu Huaixiu serving it now, he was overjoyed and started to eat.

Sun Lianqiao just came to see Gu Huaixiu, the relationship between relatives and friends is still out of walking, where do friends come from if they don't move around?
She still has matters on Siye's side, so let me explain what's going on in the capital, especially the prince and eighth elder brother.

Originally, Sun Lianqiao helped Fourth Master with a big event, such as...

Let Gu Yaofang poison the prince, but now Sun Lianqiao is doing something bigger.

Gu Huaishu was very clear about the former, and when he heard Sun Lianqiao's words when he left, he also had a vague premonition.

"Now my father is overworked in the palace, and he is not in good health. The emperor trusts him, so he only ordered me to help my father with the work in the imperial hospital. For a while... after the new year, I will often go to the palace to serve as servants." , I have met the emperor a few times, if you need to take care of anything in the palace, you can just tell me through Si Ye or yourself... There are also people in the Imperial Hospital to take care of you. "

People in the Tai Hospital prescribe medicines even if they are secret signs.

Gu Huaishu just nodded and sent Sun Lianqiao out.

Just watching Sun Lianqiao go away, she thought that if Sun Lianqiao entered the palace, Kangxi might be in danger.

Yinzhen can even harm the crown prince, who else can't?

For a prince to become like this is the reason why he asked Gu Yaofang to use nasty means to prescribe drugs. For Kangxi, who is still a tough emperor, the next few princes are probably in complicated moods, right?

After being the emperor for more than 50 years, the crown prince couldn't help it. He had already been deposed once, and the princes below still had to endure it.

Sun Lianqiao is now the one walking on the tip of the knife.

Gu Huaixiu couldn't help but began to think, if he knew that Sun Lianqiao worked so hard for the fourth master, and would even go all out, would he point out such a way for Sun Lianqiao?

In fact, she just took advantage of Sun Lianqiao.

Sun Lianqiao herself knew it well, but it was only half-hearted.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Gu Huaishu pointed out the way for them, and they are not unhappy at all.

Thinking about it, she actually doesn't have any abilities, she's just an insidious villain behind the scenes.

The hand holding the door frame was slowly lowered, and she also felt that her heart was slowly lowered. Zhang Tingyu didn't come back until noon, but the news came early after all.

problem occurs……

Not Zhang Tingyu, but his protégé.

How long has Zhang Tingyu been back to Beijing?
Zhao Shenqiao, the censor of Zuodu, couldn't wait to put the future threat to death.

Dai Mingshi only got the second place. With his reputation in the last subject, many people criticized Zhao Shenqiao for cheating for his son Zhao Xiongzhao. It is not clear whether Zhao Xiongzhao cheated or not, but now Zhao Shenqiao suddenly made an attack. But it feels like revenge.

If it is an ordinary matter, it can be solved easily, but this matter is the most taboo of the emperor.

On the morning of December [-], Zhao Shenqiao, the censor of Zuodu, brought Dai Mingshi's "Nanshan Collection" to the imperial court to report against the words in "Nanshan Collection".

Dai Mingshi is a literati, and "Nanshan Collection" was written by him in the past. He compiled the history of the late Ming Dynasty. There are words to discuss the history of Ming Dynasty.How could he have thought that this would be the biggest mistake he ever made in his life.

Back then there was the case of Shen Tianfu, a giant merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and today the Dai Mingshi Nanshan case suddenly came out. When Gu Huaishu heard about it, he already had a vague premonition.

Zhao Shenqiao impeached Dai Mingshi for his arrogance, privately engraved an anthology, in which there are many anti-rebellious remarks, with ulterior motives, he should be executed!

Zhang Tingyu has just returned, and everyone knows that he is so anxious to target his disciples.

Unexpectedly, after reading "Nanshan Collection" and hearing Zhao Shenqiao's performance, Kangxi actually summoned Zhang Tingyu and asked Zhao Shenqiao and Zhang Tingyu to investigate the case together.

A "Nanshan Collection" was the biggest accident at the end of the 50th year of Kangxi.

Zhang Tingyu had also read the "Nanshan Collection" at the beginning. Where is there any rebellious language?

It's another one who wants to add a crime, so there's no excuse!
Zhang Tingyu wanted to refute Zhao Shenqiao on the spot and defend Dai Mingshi's innocence, but he didn't expect that Kangxi had no intention of listening to him at all, and just threw the "Nanshan Collection" that Zhao Shenqiao brought up on the imperial case: "This kind of rebellious minister The thieves must be killed!"

However, in one "Nanshan Collection", Dai Mingshi was determined to be a "rebellious official and thief", and he said that "he must be killed", which meant that Dai Mingshi was going to die.

When Shen Tianfu compiled a history of the Ming Dynasty, he was so tired that he copied it all over his family. Now, apart from Dai Mingshi himself, there are many people who have annotated the "Nanshan Collection" or used Dai Mingshi to quote it. Tongcheng Fangbao's "Dianqian Jiwen" is the most dangerous...

When walking out of the palace gate, Zhang Tingyu was expressionless, and only turned to look at Zhao Shenqiao who was standing in the distance of Qianqing Palace.

Zhao Shenqiao has a beard and is not young anymore. He walked towards Zhang Tingyu with square splayed steps: "Jiang is still old and spicy. Three years ago, Mr. Zhang could call the wind and rain. Three years later...you are just The meat on the coffin is just to be slaughtered. Dai Mingshi's life is not for me, Zhao Shenqiao, but for the emperor. If you are his good husband, prepare a coffin for him earlier."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shenqiao laughed happily, walked out of the three palace gates, and left the palace.

Zhang Tingyu stood there for a long time, holding the memorial in his hand vigorously. He stood there for a long time in the cold wind, until a eunuch came over and asked him, "Master Zhang, can I get you an umbrella?"

Umbrella?

Snowing.

Zhang Tingyu raised his eyes and saw that he had stood in the cold wind for an unknown how long. He closed his eyes and said, "No need, father-in-law, please take care."

When he left the palace, Dai Mingshi had already been imprisoned immediately, and Fang Bao, who was also from Tongcheng, was also imprisoned.

Obviously knowing that Dai Mingshi is Zhang Tingyu's protégé, and Fang Bao is also Zhang Tingyu's protégé, it is impossible for Kangxi not to know that Zhao Shenqiao had feuded with Dai Mingshi because of Zhao Xiongzhao's affairs.This time he directly pointed Zhang Tingyu and Zhao Shenqiao to supervise the matter, and his intentions were so deep that Zhang Tingyu's blood froze in the cold weather.

One suspect has a feud, and the other has a relationship with the suspect. This is probably the last case in the world that needs to be avoided, right?

Zhang Tingyu returned to the mansion almost in a daze, and found the Nanshan collection in the study, and saw countless literati on the title page annotating Dai Mingshi, dozens of people, big and small, one by one, but not what It's a murder.

In vain he met Dai Mingshi in the morning and said that he would be fine in the future, is that such a good way?
It's too ironic!

I searched through "Nanshan Collection", but there are some words that should not come from the mouth of the ministers. There is no slightest objection. Dai Mingshi has already entered the Hanlin Academy and the Ming History Museum. Intentions, deep thoughts of treason"!
There was a series of "cracking" sounds, but it was Zhang Tingyu who suddenly lifted the entire desk, and all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones fell to the ground.

Gu Huaishu, who was still outside, suddenly heard a sound from inside. When he came in, he saw Zhang Tingyu's face was covered with frost. She didn't say anything that she wanted to say.

Zhang Tingyu supported the table with both hands, and sat back slowly. He only threw the booklet on the impeachment of Zhao Shenqiao that he had not had time to hand over on the desk, let out a long breath, and then read in a low voice: "Zhao Shenqiao ..."

What a Zhao Shenqiao.

Imprisonment with words is another "literary prison" to come out.

Knowing what the emperor hated most, he relied on what the emperor hated the most. Zhang Tingyu couldn't even say a word of rebuttal, because the emperor wouldn't listen or let him speak.

Kangxi wanted to look at Zhang Tingyu and destroy his disciples with his own hands.

Dai Mingshi is a madman, single-handedly picked up by Zhang Tingyu, it seems...

Ade came from outside in a hurry, and only reported one sentence: "Second master, people outside are rumored... Dai Mingshi, Fang Bao and others have already been sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice..."

"...Go ahead, I see."

Zhang Tingyu pinched his brows, while Gu Huaishu went over and gestured to Ade, "Go outside and listen to the news, and report back later."

When she heard Dai Mingshi's words, she knew that something had happened to Dai Mingshi.

Walking slowly to Zhang Tingyu's side, she raised her hand to press the armrest of the chair at the back, and she only asked him softly, "What's the matter?"

"...Zhao Shenqiao cited Dai Mingshi's "Nanshan Collection" with many rebellious words. The emperor asked me to investigate this matter with Zhao Shenqiao..." Zhang Tingyu was a little bit at a loss. He had rarely encountered such a struggle in his life. Killing Zhu Cihuan unjustly, at least because he was an irrelevant person, although it was uncomfortable, but he had never hesitated and hated it like he is today, "Loyalty to the foolish and wise, loyal to the foolish and wise... As a minister, the ruler wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. Now he wants to die." Killing a person, but forcing me to kill him!"

How could Zhang Tingyu not understand this move?
If he really killed Dai Mingshi, Kangxi would definitely believe in his loyalty, and from then on, high officials and generous salary would be no problem.

But Dai Mingshi is his favorite horse!

It's the proud student Zhang Tingyu once lifted to the top of the champion with his own hands!

Mr. personally sent the students to the guillotine...

A teacher for a day, a father for life...

If he really did it, it would be tantamount to sending his son to the guillotine.

Zhang Tingyu suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, and also blocked his eyes. He was extremely tired. He had thought that there would be a bloody storm when he returned to the capital, but he never expected that it would start with Dai Mingshi...

"Loyal, stupid, virtuous..."

It is said that the way to be an official is first of all the word "loyalty". If Zhang Tingyu is loyal, Dai Mingshi will die; if Zhang Tingyu is rebellious, both Zhang Tingyu and Dai Mingshi will die.

In front of him, there has always been only a single-plank bridge.

Gu Huaishu looked at the white hairs mixed with his black hair, and only tightened his fingers, not knowing what to say.

This year, it seems that there is no way to live well.

Dai Mingshi and Fang Bao are both well-known literati nowadays, let alone Dai Mingshi's reputation, if Zhao Shenqiao was more vicious, Mr. Zhang Tingyu would have to be implicated.As a result, this year's chief executive officer must be Zhao Shenqiao...

At the beginning, Zhao Shenqiao claimed that he and Dai Mingshi had no grievances or enmity, and he just raised this matter to fulfill his duty as a courtier, so he was obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open.

What's even more blind is that Kangxi believed it.

Gu Huaishu had already noticed that Zhang Tingyu just said "emperor" instead of "emperor".

She could only reach out and press Zhang Tingyu's shoulder, but what she remembered was the "Shen Tianfu" that Zhang Tingyu found in the Jiangning county annals in the south of the Yangtze River, and possibly Shen Tianfu's descendants.

I'm afraid Zhang Tingyu never thought that such a thing would happen to his disciples when he was looking through the files, right?
At this moment, Dai Mingshi and Fang Bao can only try their best to find a way out in the dark prison.

However, Zhang Tingyu outside couldn't figure it out, so where could they find it?
Far-fetched, out of nothing, slander is slander, but once the emperor speaks, this slander becomes true.

The New Year's Eve dinner was boring, and a lot of literati were locked up in the yamen. Zhao Shenqiao was about to be sentenced to death, and Zhou Daoxin came back after the new year. He heard about such a thing, but he never visited Zhang Tingyu.

What happened to Zhu Cihuan back then, what will Zhang Tingyu do this time?
Zhou Daoxin wanted to see, or maybe he was looking for an opportunity, to see if Zhang Tingyu was worth making as a friend, right?

Everyone was looking at how Zhang Tingyu was going to go, but there was clearly only one way in front of him, so what else could he say?

Left and right, to Dai Mingshi, is just a word for "death".

There was a turmoil in the court for no reason, Zhang Tingyu sat in the punishment department all day long, and Gu Huaishu also sat in the room.

She wrote down some things on paper, but her mind was in chaos.

Facts tell her that this may be just a coincidence, but all kinds of coincidences are piled up on Shen Xue, she is really a little...

She sat in the chair, looked at the calculated page, comforted herself, and just as she lifted the lid of the tea, she saw Brother Margaret sneaking in with a snowball in her hand.

"Brother Margaret, you are not allowed to bring Snowball into the house. It is cold and slippery today. Your sister is not as strong as you and your third brother. Be careful that she is freezing..."

"Oh."

Zhang Ruoai threw the snowball out, came in to look at Gu Huaishu, and stretched her head to see a piece of paper on it, which was full of strange symbols: "This looks like a pointed ladder, and it looks like a house? What is it? And A lot of little tadpoles..."

"What pointy house tadpole..."

It's just Gu Huaixiu's habitual writing in English.

She squeezed the paper in her hand, rolled it up, and stopped showing it to Brother Ai, thinking that none of Brother Ai, Brother Lin, and Sister Xiang were left-handed, so Shen Qu should not be her son.

Is it possible...

She was amused by the thoughts in her head.

As soon as the paper ball was thrown away, she put her arms around Brother Ai, and said with a smile: "You told me earlier that Brother Ai is left-handed, but is it true? When did you see it, did you use your left hand for a while, or do you always use it?"

"When we were in Longmian Mountain, he used his left hand to grab the brush, and I laughed at him. Dad also removed the paper for him and asked him to use his right hand..." Zhang Ruoai blinked and said something, but After speaking, he knew that he might have said something wrong.

Gu Huaishu closed his eyes for a moment, pressed the armrest tightly with one hand, as if forcing himself to calm down,
After a while, she forced herself to calmly ask: "You said your father...withdrew the paper and asked Brother Cho to change his right hand?"
