Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 205 Zou Yinglong's Strange Dream
He Liu found evidence that Yan Shifan embezzled the restoration money of Chaotian Temple.Yu Wang did not intend to let Beizhen Fusi come forward to arrest and interrogate Yan Shifan.

Jin Yiwei specializes in secret errands.Arresting, trial, and conviction were all carried out in secret.Yan Shifan is Yan Song's son, and everyone in the government and the public knows that if he is to be punished, he will be punished!
King Yu decided to ask Xu Jie to find a Qingliu censor, and to impeach Yan Shifan.

The first thing Xu Jie thought of was his student, Zou Yinglong, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zou Yinglong was a Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing and worked as a six-rank censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for six years.He is a small man, but he is well-learned, literary, and talented-to put it bluntly, he can swear.He was able to write an eloquent essay on impeachment in just one hour.Without uttering a single dirty word, he greeted the eight generations of the ancestors of the impeached.

At night, Xu Jie took He Liu to find Zou Yinglong.

Seeing Zou Yinglong, Xu Jie's first words were: "It's time to do it!"

Zou Yinglong's complexion changed when he heard the words: "Are you finally going to attack Yan Song and his son?"

Xu Jie nodded, and then pointed to He Liu: "This is Mr. He, the governor of Jinyiwei North Town. He will tell you about Yan Shifan's crimes from beginning to end."

He Liu told Zou Yinglong in detail about how Yan Shifan stole the beam and changed the post, and how he corrupted Mo Chaotianguan and repaired the silver.

After hearing this, Zou Yinglong sat down at the desk.

He Liu, the governor of Beizhen, studied ink for Zou Yinglong, a small censor, and Xu Jie, the second assistant of the court, held the lamp for Zou Yinglong himself.

Half an hour later, Zou Yinglong finished writing the notes.

Xu Jie took a Western glass mirror and read the scriptures carefully.He threw the booklet on the desk: "Ying Long, do you want to join Yan Shifan, or do you want to help Yan Shifan?"

Zou Yinglong was puzzled: "Since ancient times, Han and traitors have always been in conflict. Of course I want to put Yan Song and his son to death."

Xu Jie said to He Liu, "He Zhenfu, please read this document."

He Liu picked up the booklet and read it through.

Xu Jie asked He Liu: "What do you think of this excerpt?"

He Liudao: "In Zou Yushi's papers, Yan Song and his son were impeached for ten crimes and five crimes. This is exactly the same as Zhong Zhi Gong Yang Lian's papers. However, we only have evidence that Yan Shifan corrupted ink and repaired 6 taels of silver for Chaotian Temple. The other crimes were found to be unsubstantiated. Furthermore, Zou Yushi actually advised the emperor in the book not to indulge in cultivating immortals and asking... Look at this sentence, "I have read history books all over the world, and I have never heard that one dynasty and one emperor seek the Tao. Flying Immortals live forever!' Doesn't this mean: Your Majesty, you are wasting the people's fat and anointing by spending all these years cultivating immortals, and you will never become immortals and live forever?"

Xu Jie said: "Master He is right in his words! If you hand over this note, not only will Yan Shifan not be punished. Ying Long, I'm afraid you will be in danger too!"

Zou Yinglong cupped his hands: "Teacher, tell me, how should I write this notebook?"

Xu Jie said: "It is enough to impeach Yan Shifan for the crime of embezzling Chaotian Temple and repairing silver! Moreover, you have to point out in the notes that Yan Shifan did this deliberately to make the emperor dishonest and dissatisfied with the emperor! He has ulterior motives , wanting to prevent the emperor from cultivating immortals! The emperor has respected the heaven and loved the people all these years, so he should have become an immortal long ago. It is all because of Yan Shifan's secret stumbling that the emperor is still a mortal body."

Zou Yinglong smiled wryly: "Teacher, the Yan family and his son have controlled the government for many years. They have used private parties extensively to enrich themselves with bribes. They have been greedy for more than tens of millions of dollars? But I only participated in Yan Shifan's embezzlement of a mere 6 taels of repair money? Besides, these years , The emperor is obsessed with cultivating Taoism, swallowing elixir every day, seeking immortality. It has led to the collapse of the government and cost tens of thousands of silver. As a censor, I should advise the emperor to use my mind on government affairs. In addition to traitors, Use a virtuous minister..."

Xu Jie waved his hand and interrupted his unrepentant student: "Ying Long, I'll give you a night to think carefully about whether you should follow my instructions. Master He will come to see you again tomorrow morning. You have to give him an answer."

After speaking, Xu Jie led He Liu away from Zou Yinglong's house.

Zou Yinglong has a big heart.With such a big event in front of him, he washed his feet as usual, went to bed and fell asleep.

When he fell asleep, he had a very strange dream: he dreamed that he was holding a yellow dog in his left hand and a falcon in his right hand, and he went out of the city alone to hunt.When he came to a high mountain, he suddenly felt righteous indignation.So he shot an arrow towards the mountain.But this arrow was light and fluttering, with only a "swish" sound, the arrow disappeared without a trace.

Ever since, Zou Yinglong in the dream was extremely depressed.He went further, climbed over this high mountain, and suddenly found that there was another hill in front of him.There is a small stream on the side of the mountain, and a small building on the east side of the foot of the mountain. Next to the small building is a field with a pile of rice and grass piled on top of the rice.

Zou Yinglong raised his bow and arrow again, and shot an arrow at the pile of rice.

After receiving the pile of rice, it exploded with a loud noise.Immediately after that, there was a lot of noise, the rice pile fell, the fields exploded, the small building fell, the hill fell, and the big mountain behind the hill also fell. . . .It was simply turned upside down.

"Chicken Gougou~" Zou Yinglong is an upright official, his wife raises a few chickens in the yard to subsidize the family.The crowing of a big rooster awakened Zou Yinglong.

Zou Yinglong opened his eyes, puzzled by last night's dream.

After breakfast, He Liu led Lao Hu to Zou Yinglong's house.

He Liu asked Zou Yinglong: "What is Zou Yushi's thinking about Zhezi?"

Zou Yinglong said: "I haven't thought it through yet. Sigh, I had a weird dream last night..."

Old Hu became interested: "Strange dream? Can Lord Zou tell me about it? This old man knows a thing or two about Duke Zhou's interpretation of dreams."

Zou Yinglong told Lao Hu and He Liu about the scene in his dream.

Old Hu stroked his beard and asked Zou Yinglong, "Lord Zou, give me a piece of paper and a pen."

Zou Yinglong brought a pen and paper.

Old Hu said: "There is a small stream by the side of the hill, that is the word "Shui Bian". Adding rice and grass to the field is a character for Fan! And Yan Shifan's name is Donglou! The big mountain behind the hill is Yan Song! This may be the loyal and straight father Yang Lian entrusted a dream to Zou Yushi, and first participated in the downfall of Yan Shifan! Since ancient times, father and son are one, and if the son is convicted, the father will inevitably be responsible! When the hill falls, the mountain will follow!"

Zou Yinglong slapped his head: "So that's how it is! I'll write the script right now! Write it according to Xu Cifu's intention!"

Not long after, Zou Yinglong wrote the memorial.

In the memorial, he participated in the impeachment of Yan Shifan for corrupting ink and repairing the silver in Chaotian Temple in order to make Emperor Jiajing dishonest and hinder Emperor Jiajing's road to long life.He also took advantage of the topic, saying that Yan Shifan was plotting against the law and intending to rebel.

At the end of the excerpt, he showed his knife: "Gouchen's words are not true, and Gan Fu will be killed!" - If there is a lie in the words of the minister, the emperor, you can chop off the minister's head!

Zou Yinglong handed the memorial to He Liu to have a look.

When He Liu saw that Zou Yinglong had labeled Yan Shifan as "intending to rebel" in the memorial, a smile appeared on his face: Yan Shifan, you are dead!

He Liu handed the excerpt back to Zou Yinglong: "Zou Yushi, you can pass this excerpt to the emperor!"
