At this time, the Shi Heng family set up a prison in the capital. Shi Biao, Shi Ming, Shi Yongxing, Wang Liang, Fan Jin, Shi Hou and other people in the city arrested relevant personnel of the "Da Ming Yue Bao".

Heng's nephew Shi Biao was as arrogant and arrogant as Shi Heng. The uncle and nephew's family had tens of thousands of talented officials and warriors. Half of the generals inside and outside the court were disciples of the Shi family. Everyone in the capital looked at each other sideways, and the officials above and below were trembling with fear.

After the Jinyiwei and Dongchang had a fight, they discovered that the emperor was becoming more and more disgusted with Shi Heng. The commander of the Jinyiwei, Lu Gao, got wind of the situation and took the initiative to make amends with Cao Jixiang.

Fu Shiheng, Lu Gao's change made Cao Jixiang overjoyed, but yes, yes! The Jin Yiwei here released all the arrested "criminals", but Shi Biao used the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to continue the arrest.

In ancient times, if an official was arrested, it was not just the official himself, but the whole family. Once an official was arrested and imprisoned, his wife, children, and children would all suffer. The men would be forced to work as coolies and the women would be slaves. If they were young women of working age, they would be sent to prison.

Jiaofangsi,

Jiaofangsi originally belonged to the Ministry of Etiquette, the first of the six departments, and was specialized in playing music during celebrations or when welcoming distinguished guests. It had many musicians and a variety of musical instruments passed down from generation to generation, making it a magnificent sight. Later, it became a group of prostitutes, but it was used for rituals.

Enjoy the great irony.

After the families of Jiaofangsi, mostly officials, had their homes confiscated, the female relatives of the family entered Jiaofang. What is striking is the famous Qinhuai prostitutes from the Jiaofangsi of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing in the late Ming Dynasty, such as Dong Xiaowan, Li Xiangjun, Gu Hengbo, Bian Yujun, and Chen Yuanyuan, who were even more famous.

For a time, they were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could sing songs.

Think about it, these officials' family members are usually wives and young ladies who have been influenced by the fragrance of books since they were young. Once they become the family members of criminal officials, they can't bear the humiliation and seek death, or they become members of the Jiaofang Division. For criminal officials with ideas and backbone

But their family members are unwilling to go to Jiaofangsi, because living a life without worries about food and clothing requires paying a certain price.

In addition to becoming a prostitute, she will also become a pariah. Children born in the future will not be able to get rid of this status. They will have this status for generations and it will be difficult to get rid of it, let alone become an official in the imperial examination in the future. This is simply impossible.

.So the wives and daughters of these officials know very well that once they enter the Jiaofang Division, they will not be able to turn around in the future.

Jiaofangsi is actually an official prostitute. She can not only perform for the court, but also serve various officials. This title was changed in the Ming Dynasty. Because the wives and daughters of officials are not ordinary people, they have good living conditions and good health.

, and more importantly, he is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry, so he is very popular among literati, dignitaries and nobles. For Jiaofang Si

He said that these women are very welcome to come, because they don’t need to spend money to buy them at all. They only need to provide food, clothing and accommodation, and various skills do not need to be deliberately trained. The profits here are huge, and the teacher is very clear about it.

How can women who once served as slaves endure such a change in status, and their job responsibilities in the Jiaofang Department make them shameless.

There are political enemies and grudges in the officialdom. For example, after Zhang Chuang was arrested by Shi Biao and sent to the Army and Horse Department during the official affairs, his family was immediately confiscated. Zhang Chuang's family was all in the capital. It can be said that the family has a big business and a family of seventy-nine.

, three

Sons, four daughters, three wives and concubines, plus servants, maids, bearers and concierges, all servants and servants in the house were dismissed. Sons, daughters, wives and concubines, etc., the men were made slaves, and the women entered the church.

Fangji.

When Zhang Chuang was in power, he offended Taiping Hou Zhang Jin and his cousins, Huichang Hou Sun Jizong and his brothers. At this time, in order to retaliate against Zhang Chuang, the Huichang Hou brothers preached that they would make Zhang Chuang's wife a concubine, and their four daughters would take turns to stay with her at night.

Zhang Chuang heard in prison that he couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide. Zhang Zijun couldn't sit still anymore. People in this world are so evil. Adding insult to injury can directly kill people. So he discussed with Yao Xi how to save Zhang Chuang's family. What?

To save the law? Of course it costs money, but Zhang Zijun has no money and no brains. Isn’t Jin Yiwei supervising hundreds of officials? Write an anonymous letter

To the commander Lu Gao, the British Duke Zhang Mao, the Marquis of Taiping Zhang Jin, and his relatives, the Marquis of Huichang, Sun Jizong and his brothers invaded the official fields. This kind of thing has been hidden for a long time. It has been rumored since last year. It is just in use today. Lu Gao just wanted to

make something

The results came out so that the emperor could rely on him. A few days ago, he discovered that the emperor was increasingly disgusted with Shi Heng, and he was also alienated. I received this unsigned complaint and wondered if the emperor had done it intentionally to test myself.

,in spite of

Is it really necessary to check? The captain said: "There is no need to check this kind of thing. Since last year, there have been officials who have participated in the impeachment report." This further confirmed his conjecture, and he thought that it was definitely the emperor's intention.

,No

A few days later, a memorial was impeached in the court, and the land was returned to the official. Zhang Mao, Zhang Jin, and Sun Jizong brothers all pleaded guilty. They rescued Zhang Chuang's female family members from the side once, but they were saved once but not twice. Zhang Zi

Jun Weiran sighed deeply in the west courtyard.

However, there are still gains. I have won the heart of the beauty Yao Ying. From this incident, I can see that my future husband is a person who can be relied on. He is kind-hearted and compassionate. I also admire the flawlessness of this matter. It is very clever.

.

Yao Xi also admired his brother-in-law's foresight. He had carefully moved to the West Courtyard originally to avoid disaster, and he grew to respect him more and more.

The most unlucky ones in the whole thing are Editor Lin and his group, as well as the Imperial College's Jiu Jiu Chen Jian, especially Wu Shidu. I think they had a lot of brainstorming with Editor Lin in order to become the editor-in-chief of the monthly newspaper, and now they are all in jail.

After Liu Sheng resigned, he was indifferent at first until he saw

After Shi Biao conducted a thorough investigation of the relevant personnel of the "Da Ming Yue News", he found out that Zhang Zijun had persuaded him to hide for a while, and hurriedly fled out of the city with several maids and servants, and stayed in a villa of a friend. Fortunately, the Wucheng Soldiers

Ma Si only arrests people inside the city and has no control over those outside the city.

After Li Xian was reinstated, he realized that almost overnight, he had become a loner, Shi Heng was taking power, and the whole court was full of people who wanted to gain influence, and they were surrounded by minions, so they could only wait and wait for the opportunity.

As time passed, Zhu Qizhen couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked his cabinet minister Li Xian. Li Xian said: "Only your Majesty is the master of major affairs in the court." This means, Your Majesty, look at it now, Shi Heng is Dong Zhuo.

, many things are decided by him.

One day, Zhu Qizhen said to Li Xian: "If something happens to a cabinet minister, Yan must see him. Shi Heng is a military commander, why do he come to see him so often?" Then he ordered Zuo Shunmen: "No military attache can be allowed unless summoned." From then on.

, Shi Heng’s visits to the palace decreased.

Zhang Zijun hid in the west courtyard and became bored after a long time. He followed the fine tradition of growing vegetables. Next came food and changing living habits. He spent all day studying going to the toilet and taking a bath, not only for himself, but mainly for his family.

, there are more people

, there are also many servants and maids at home, and the ancients did not bathe every day, nor once every three to five, but once a month or three months. It’s okay when it’s cold, but it’s unbearable on hot days. The most everyone can do is to take a bath.

The water was wiped in each room to solve the problem.

Of course, for Zhang Zijun, when he needs to take a bath, a servant will boil the water and prepare it. He doesn’t have to do anything, and he can still enjoy the living conditions of a wealthy landlord. It is difficult to change a person’s living habits. If Zhang Zijun had not lived a comfortable life,

But the family members, servants, and maids who surround you all day long must also be tidy. If a smelly person serves you, you can't accept anything.

Some people are born to gather popularity, while some people are often ignored. Zhang Zijun belongs to the former group. Everywhere he goes, there are always many people around him. In the past, many people of the same age and Liu Sheng often came here, but now

Secretly at home, the servants and maids at home also like to surround him, and of course the two Yao brothers and sisters.

There are no adults in the Yao family in Beijing, and Zhang Zijun has no parents or elders. We are all young people, living an unfettered and carefree life. Many of the barriers and ethical constraints that originally existed between men and women have disappeared. Originally, Yao Ying could not follow

It's good to see Zhang Zijun now. I feel uncomfortable not seeing each other for a day. The reason is that Zhang Zijun feels bored. Every time after dinner, he sets up a "Dragon Gate Formation" outside the study room in the back garden of the west courtyard.

I just finished talking about the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" a while ago, and tonight I will talk about another novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". This one is the follow-up to the previous one...

Whenever night falls and the sky is covered with red clouds, Yao Xi and Yao Ying will report on time with their servants and maids. In addition to the servants and maids of Zhang Zijun's family, except for old man Du and Mrs. Du's wife, they are all very young.

When I got older, even my second brother Xu Jingnian would come. Currently, there are more than 20 people gathered together to listen to books. There was a lack of entertainment in ancient times.

, listening to books has become the best form of entertainment, and in addition to the captivating storyline, Zhang Zijun speaks in a leisurely and unhurried manner, which makes him more patient to listen to than the storytellers in the neighborhood, because there is nothing else, it is all in vernacular, what he says is: "

A Yue girl is picking lotuses by the autumn water, her narrow sleeves are light and her gold necklace is exposed. She picks flowers in the shadow and looks like her face, but her heart is only a mess of threads.

The wind and waves are late at the head of the Jichi River, the fog is thick and the smoke is light, and the company that came when I came is nowhere to be seen. The faint singing returns to the far away, and the sorrow of separation leads to the south bank of the river."

A burst of soft and melodious singing floated on the misty lake. The singing came from a small boat. Five girls in the boat were singing and laughing, rowing and picking lotus flowers. The song they sang was composed by Ouyang Xiu, a great poet in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The poem "Die Lian Hua" describes exactly the scene of Yue Nu Lotus. Although there are only six characters, the season, time, location, scenery, Yue Nu's appearance, clothing, jewelry and mood are all described.

It's as vivid as ever. In the second half of the poem, there is a narrative in the description of the scene. The narrative is lyrical, from near to far, with endless thoughts. Ouyang Xiu has been an official in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and the Wu mountains and rivers are full of tenderness and intimacy, all of which are integrated into long and short sentences.

middle

.People in the Song Dynasty, whether they were high-ranking officials or ordinary people in the alleys, all enjoyed singing lyrics. As soon as Liu Yong's new lyrics came out, people sang wherever there was well water. When willows were folded on the spring banks in the south of the Yangtze River, and lotuses were picked on autumn lakes, they were often accompanied by

European words.

During the Lizong period of the Southern Song Dynasty, we were located in Nanhu Lake, Jiaxing. The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the lotus leaves were gradually dying, and the lotus flesh was full. This burst of singing came to the ears of a Taoist nun by the lake. She had been standing quietly under a row of willow trees for a long time, late at night

The wind ruffled the hem of her apricot-yellow robe and the strands of silk whisk in her neck. Her thoughts were ups and downs. It was true.

"Love hearts only share the same threads and quarrel." I could only hear the song gradually fade away, and it was Ouyang Xiu's other poem "Butterfly Loves Flowers". A gust of wind blew and faintly sent two sentences: "The wind and the moon have not changed, the old travels are like

Mengjeong's heart breaks..." As soon as the singing stopped, there was a burst of giggles...

Zhang Zijun looked at dozens of pairs of gleaming eyes, all staring at his every move. He could see that, just like the previous novel, he was going to fool these people into talking about Guo Jing and Huang Rong all day long, and then he would

Next are Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu.
