Chapter 709 Retaliation
..Son
He was far away from the court and away from the faint smell of blood. His silent mood improved a lot. He took Cui Yan's wheelchair from the guard and pushed him slowly in the quiet alley.
Cui Yan was the imperial physician who sacrificed his life to save the emperor. He was broken by Chen Hu and could only be with a wheelchair for the rest of his life. In Shen Mo's opinion, such a loyal savior hero was not an exaggeration to praise him, but what was heartbreaking is that the extremely selfish Emperor Jiajing was unwilling to mention this detail, so his achievements naturally could not be fulfilled.
In the end, Cui Yan was only given a lifelong offering to the Imperial Hospital. Yin Yizi's pitiful treatment for hundreds of households in the Jinyiwei was like a bright moon and a firefly compared to his efforts. And the Imperial Doctor Jin, who had always been helping him and did not dare to stand out in times of crisis, was promoted to the Imperial Hospital. How could Cui Yan not feel disheartened?!
Chen Mo was very angry about this and specifically asked the emperor to speak out. He fought for him to give him the imperial gift of "Loyalty and Martyrdom. Inscription, he was the imperial hospital with the imperial doctor Jin, and enjoyed the treatment of a third-rank official for life." Although Chen agreed that this was not enough, he could only do so.
"Today is a conclusion." He whispered to Choi Yan: "Let's start from scratch tomorrow.
Cui Yan shook his head and said, "Sir, can continue on the road, but Xiao is about to leave." "Can't you think about it again?" Chen Si said sincerely, "Even if you don't want to be in the Imperial Hospital, you can do something else, no matter what you want."
"I want to stand up again." Choi Yan said lightly: "Can you help me?"
"Can't" silently said: "Apart from that, it's all possible."
"But if you can't stand up, nothing is meaningless." Cui Yan said miserably: "Who will use a disabled person? The result of a disabled person is a disabled person."
"Don't think like this" said silently: "You are a doctor, not a soldier. What's the difference between practicing medicine while standing and practicing medicine while sitting?"
"Have you ever seen an imperial physician sitting in a wheelchair?" Cui Yan looked up at him and said, "Mr. Shen. I know you want to help me, but I don't want people to make fun of it. I just want to find a place where no one knows me. Stay quietly in this life!" As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears. He quickly reached out to cover his face and said, "I thank you for your kindness, but it really doesn't need it. As long as you can take care of Cui De and Cui Lu, I will be satisfied." That was his pair of sons.
Silent took a deep breath, looked into the distance. He pressed down the tears that were about to flow out and said softly: "Don't worry about this. After they both graduated from the Imperial College, I will send them to Suzhou for further studies. You can rest assured that Brother Cui will be in the future."
"That's enough," Cui Yanqiang smiled and said, "Sir, don't do stupid things in the future. No matter when it comes, it is the most important to protect yourself. Don't show off your courage like me, and suffer a lifetime of discord."
Chen Mo knew that his heart was really cold, so he nodded silently and said, "I remember."
"Oh," Choi Yan looked up at the sky and said, "People are usually precious. The more you feel that something is common, the more precious it is." However, this principle can often be understood only after losing it."
"Can you tell me where are you going?" After a moment of silence, Chen Silent said softly: "I have many officials in various places in the same year, and can help take care of them."
"Well" Cui Yan thought about it and said his purpose: "During the treatment of the injury, I had a lot of contact with He Daxia. He invited me to his hometown and do something together there."
"Oh" Silent nodded slowly and said, since that's the case, I'm relieved.
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one
Because it took three days in a row, many people who were not able to perform the execution that day had the opportunity to make up for their regrets. Therefore, in the execution ground in Xishi City, there were crowds of people every day, and many people even brought their own dry food, and came from Tongzhou and Daxing. Just to be able to see Yan Shifan's end
.
Yan Shifan has done too many evil things in Beijing for more than 20 years, and countless girls have been ruined; there are thousands of families that have harmed, of course, many of them are the works of his slaves, but it is not wrong to remember them in him.
The meat cut from him was bought in a moment to pay tribute to the dead who were killed by him. The purchasers ranged from wealthy merchants to poor people and the vast number of people. Even Liu Jin, the great eunuch who was in those days, did not have as many enemies as he had,"
Almost no one knows where Yan Shifan's head ended, because after being cut, he had a white skeleton on his body, but his head was still intact. "It was only after hanging in the West Market for three days before his family could accept Ling.
But early the next morning, people were surprised to find Yan Shifan's head disappeared. Who could steal this head under the guard of many officers and soldiers? For a time, there were many different opinions in the market, such as legendary ghosts, martial arts and romance, and various versions of speculation, but no one could guess. In fact, the head was in the prime minister's mansion at this moment.
This prime minister's mansion is not the other prime minister's mansion, not the Yan mansion but the Xu mansion, but Xu Jie wants this head.
It is the main figure of the Ming Dynasty, so he wants it. After layers of transmission, the box containing human heads was finally placed in front of Xu Jie.
But Mr. Xu, who has always been elegant and low-key, wanted this bloody thing? Zhang Juzheng, who brought him a box, muttered in his heart.
"You go back." Zhang Juzhengdao! Don't mention anything to anyone."
"Students understand." Zhang Juzheng stood up and bowed: "The teacher will take a break early."
"Yeah," Xu Jiehe said: "After the New Year, I will run you to the Ministry of Personnel. You must prepare early
Is it finally over the long wait? Zhang Juzheng's heart couldn't help but thump. He said with a heavy emphasis: "Students understand,"
"Very good." Xu Jie nodded and began to bury and write the memorial.
Zhang Juzheng looked at the busy Xu Ge Lao's case and saw a thick memorial on one side, while Xu Jie was sitting in the middle and busy, no different from usual. Feeling Zhang Juzheng's gaze, Xu Jie said lightly: "As a prime minister, every time you read a memorial, the life and death of thousands of people will be involved, and you have already practiced your heart as hard as iron." He said with a sneer: "A mere head can make you restless. It seems that you are still waiting to mature.
"Students remember Zhang Juzheng and bowed, "Students leave
"Go, Xu Jie nodded and continued to be busy. Zhang Juzheng left, and he didn't look up at him.
Now the cabinet is the only prime minister, and Mr. Xu is busy with all kinds of things. Even if he goes home today, he cannot get rid of the work of the case. He is busy until the second half of the night before finishing his work today.
After sorting out various memorials, Xu Jie took off his reading glasses, stretched his waist, relaxed his sore muscles and bones, looked up and saw the box containing a human head. He smiled with emotion: "It's the first time you have been criticizing memorials with you for so many years." Obviously, he remembered Yan Shifan's arrogant and annoying look back then.
Then he slowly stood up and said to the dark place: "Pick up this thing and follow me." Then he saw his old servant turn out from behind the screen and pick up the box. He followed Xu Jie out of the study room, but did not go towards the bedroom, but went directly to the Buddhist temple in Xiqianyuan. When he entered the Buddhist temple, Xu Jie put in incense sticks on the Bodhisattva. The old servant walked around to the dark place behind the incense table, lifted the gray curtain, and exposed a secret room with an eternal lamp inside.
The old servant used the eternal lamp to draw the fire lead and lit the candlestick. The secret room suddenly lit up, and it could be seen that it was only ten feet in square. A golden cage was placed directly north, and a long table was placed in front of the golden cage, and an incense burner was placed on it. The eight kinds of sacrifices were all spotless, and they were obviously cleaned from time to time.
At this time, Xu Jie appeared at the door of the secret room, and his face had become extremely solemn in the candlelight. He said to the old servant: "Put the box on the table, go ahead
The old servant acted as he said, put the box firmly in the center of the long desk, and then quietly retreated. Soon the secret room became quiet and the needle fell to him. Xu Jie calmed down and looked deeply at the tablet in the golden cage. He saw that it read: "Therefore the position of the Ming Dynasty, Xia Yan,!
It is the teacher who appreciates him and promotes his former cabinet assistant Xia Yan.
Xia Fu was killed by the Yan family and his son. Xu Jie also suffered humiliation that ordinary people could not bear because of his death. Because he watched his teacher, the Yan family and his son, and his family was destroyed, but he did not say a word or write a book. It seemed that his affairs were not related to himself, and he still served the Yan family and his son respectfully.
Everyone despised his character, and even the Yan Dang members felt that Xu Jie, who ignored the kindness of teachers and students, only knew how to protect himself and seek honor, was really cowardly and unlike men; not to mention his friends, they left him one after another, and many even wrote letters to break up with him.
Xu Jie silently endured all the criticism and criticism. No one knew how he survived that period, but finally came. Finally, as time passed, many things were gradually forgotten, including the grievances and grievances of Xia Yan and Zeng Rui, and the orphans and widows they left behind, were also slowly forgotten.
But Xu Jie did not forget. He built this secret room and worshipped the teacher's spiritual seat day and night to remind himself that he would not be a human being if he did not avenge this revenge!
Yes, he did not forget the deep hatred in Yixuan. The Yan family father and son not only killed his teacher, but also his students, Yang Jisheng! How can this deep blood hatred be revenged?
He also wanted to write a letter to scold the Yan family father and son like others, indicating that he was incompatible with the treacherous party, but he knew that the gap in strength between the two sides was nothing but a world of difference. If he only tried to hit a stone with an egg, he would not only not hurt Yan party, but also save his life. It doesn't matter if he died. But if he died, who else could avenge the teacher and seek justice for his students?
Therefore, Xu Jie chose to endure, not only to endure the ridicule and insults of the world, but also to endure the pain and torture of the soul, just for one belief. If you persist, you must eradicate the stern party and take revenge! Revenge! Revenge!
From the second day of the 10th month of the 27th year of Jiajing, this belief has never shaken in Xu Jie's heart to September 29th of the 42nd year of Jiajing. It was fifteen years before he finally took Yan Shifan's head to worship his teacher. Although this result came a little late, no one could blame Xu Jie anymore. Because fifteen years ago, he was just a rootless right minister of the Ministry of Personnel. His enemy Yan Song had been in the officialdom for more than 40 years, and had been scheming and extremely cunning. Yan Shifan was extremely smart. He had no rivals in the world when he was in charge of the Jinyiwei at that time, Qiu Luan, who held heavy troops, etc. were all their minions.
To fight the Yan Party group, it is like Yugong moving mountains. Xu Jie can finally do all the hardships and dangers of returning to the New Year. I, Xu Cun, report... I am ashamed!
Although it has come late, justice is justice after all, and it is the spark that can warm human nature."
Yan Shifan died, Yan Dangshu was dispersed and changed his wards one after another. He came to Xujie's mansion to kowtow to give gifts, hoping to escape this disaster.
But Xu Jie had already tore off his gentle disguise. The longer he endured, the greater the destructive power he had during the explosion. He had no intention of forgiveing any member of the Yan Party. In just over a month after Yan Shifan's death, he had successively dismissed and investigated more than 20 members of the Yan Party. By the end of the year, almost all the Yan Party's forces in Beijing and local areas were wiped out. The largest treacherous party in the Ming Dynasty, who had deep roots and lush leaves, died without being stiff, was uprooted and completely became history.
In this process, Xu Jie's cold side of his personality was fully revealed. Although he did not kill another person, at least thousands of families were completely changed. The originally high-ranking class was all scattered into mud and dust, and no one could stop him!
What makes people even more frightened is the attitude towards Yan Song. Because Ge Lao Yan did not participate in the rebellion, and because he strongly opposed it, he was imprisoned by Yan Shifan in Nanchang's mansion, and it was still in the east. Jiangxi Censor led his troops to capture Yan's mansion and rescued the old man.
At this time, Jiajing would no longer have a relationship with Yan Song, so he didn't care about it and let Xu Jie deal with it.
Many people suggested that the father and son were connected and arrested Yan Song directly into the capital and killed him, which was the most in line with the code. But Xu Jie did not agree. He said that Yan Ge Lao was over 80 years old and was loyal to the country for so many years. He could be merciless and save his life. He had to be demoted to the people and let him go back to his hometown to support his old age.
At that time, many people thought this was a manifestation of Xu Ge Lao's kindness, but later some people found out that it was not the case at all, because what happened later proved that Xu Jie's punishment on Yan Song was to make him survive,
Yan Song wrote to Jiajing, saying that he was old and weak, and that he could not have children and grandchildren around him. Since Your Majesty has given me a kindness and left me a grandson, please send Yan Ji back to serve me. Jiajing didn't care about this, so he wrote a note to the cabinet, hoping that Xu Jie would deal with it as appropriate. Unexpectedly, Xu Jie said that Yan Ji could be exempted from death, and he could not escape the crime of living. He had to serve his sentence first, and he could only return to his hometown after he was sentenced.
Yan Wu was sentenced to ten years of Liaodong. Who believes that Old Yan Song can last ten years? This clearly means that he doesn't want Yan Song to see his only relative again.
This is not the end. In addition to dismissal from office, Xu Jie also ordered the Ministry of Justice to send an imperial envoy to Nanchang to search the Yan Mansion, which was the real treasure house of the Yan family, including gold, silver, treasures, and antique calligraphy and paintings. It took more than a month to search and search, and the list written was as thick as a book.
Yan Song, who was already at the end of his journey, made a final request, hoping to leave some property for himself so that he could afford to support his servants. Although the official who searched the house was from Xu Dang, who could refuse the pitiful request of an old man with high reputation? He agreed to report on his behalf.
The approval was quickly made, no!
Some officials couldn't stand it and pleaded for Yan Song: "He is just a poor old man now. Please be kind to your elder brother."
"When the Mongols' iron tools were all over the capital and the people asked the court to send troops to rescue him, was he merciful?" Xu Jie's answer was cold and merciless: "It has caused thousands of people with no family to be qualified to demand mercy."
So Yan Song had to go alone and return to his hometown in Fenyi, and could only count on his hometown to take in. Fortunately, Yan Song had a good reputation in his hometown. He also promoted the local officials. So he could barely live a life.
At this point, it is usually time to end, because it is almost done to attack the political enemy at this point, but Xu Jie still doesn't think it's enough. At the end of the year, he replaced one of the three sons of Renxu for the sake of his new leader. The three sons of Renxu were convicted for impeaching the Yan family's father and son. Now the Yan family's father and son have fallen. Naturally, they are exempted from being punished. This is reasonable, but it would be too unkind to put Zhang Tong's first stop in his hometown of Yan Song.
The people of Fenyi heard that the third son of Renxu came to Fenyi, and then they realized that Mr. Xu did not intend to let Old Yan Song go. Who would dare to interact with him again, and no one dared to help him. The only few servants also ran away, for fear of having any connection with him again.
So I suddenly felt sad when I was in a state of stern life. Even eating became a problem. In the end, I had to move into the clan ancestral hall and live by eating offerings to worship my ancestors. I often had to eat for the first meal and even hungry, so I had to go out to beg for the streets.
This made Zhang Chan, who was originally coming in a fierce manner, suddenly at a loss, so he turned a blind eye and let him continue to breathe.
At this point, many people realized that for an old man in his twilight years, the greatest punishment is not death, but taking away everything he once had, allowing him to die in despair."
